...statement made by the CRIMSON some time ago that a $4,000 scholarship had been given to Dartmouth on condition that no student who uses tobacco shall receive any of its benefits, is but an example of one of the many scholar ships at that college.

The faculty in its analogous position of liberal thought and conservative action, seems inclined to give these documents the best interpretation possible, and, in so far as they depend upon diplomatic wording, and harrowing statement, they are successful. As to the latter point, it seems curious that, while the faculty is callous to excuses of over study, they yield at once to the blandishments of cell-wall degeneration of the lung...
