...there been so little necessity for severe discipline, as today. "Students seem on the whole to accept the responsibility of manhood, and that a high standard of life appeals to Harvard students is shown by the great influence of Professor Norton during a quarter of a century. . . . . The moral quality of the Harvard man is sound and hopeful...
...number of the Monthly begins with a suggestive article, by Dr. Francis G. Peabody, on "College Morals." Its tone is optimistic and its aim to show the true state of moral life at Harvard and the outgrown conditions which have made it pessimistically regarded in the past.

An attempt to enforce this law would be certain to result in the return of Tammany to power at the end of next year. The reason for this is evident when we consider that unless there is a union of all anti-Tammany forces, Tammany is sure to elect its ticket--even last fall a few thousand votes turned the other way would have changed the result.
