It is rather early to express an opinion as to where the greatest strength lies, but in reply to a number of queries would say that the Harvard nine gives more promise at this time than almost any other of landing at the top. Princeton appears to be good in spots and ordinary in spots; Yale has had its ups and downs, with far more downs than was the case a year ago; Brown...

In summing up the report, it was submitted that mere imprisonment is an inadequate treatment for inebriety, that it is greatly desirable that habitual drunkenness be no longer considered as a crime, but as a form of disease, and that accordingly the state should adopt...
