...infuscate U. S. sailor." Now is that a sneer or not? It seems a funny way to express that the sailor was drunk. I think you ought to respect the U. S. Navy and not use a sneer. "Tight," or "squiffed," or "boiled" or maybe "groggy" would have meant the same and not sounded so sneering...

Last fortnight candidates for entrance next autumn received notice that the classes of 1930 to 1934 inclusive would be limited to 1,000, including transfer students and "repeaters." This meant a cut of 150 or so below this year's freshman class, definitely a cut but hardly immoderate.
