...unfair but it may be pointed out that the College's first concern should be to raise the standard rather than the number of those admitted.

One article had pictures of a man beaming over a champagne goblet, a girl toying with an aperitif; but the text pointed a moral. Entitled "I Fell Off the Water Wagon," it was the testimonial of a middle-aged man who reached the final conclusion that drink is a curse. Apparently that was enough alcohol in one issue for Editor Lorimer. On Page 7 illustrating another story appeared a picture of a group...
