...changes in them will take place here. It may be as well to make a few dogmatic statements concerning them. It has been shown beyond question by the experience of the great military schools in Germany, where supervision is perfect, that the early use of tobacco is altogether bad, though it has far less influence in some than in others. In regard to alcohol, German testimony is more conflicting; and beer is still given in the military schools, but there is little doubt that its effect is injurious rather than other wise.

Again, the Advocate thinks that Harvard should have withdrawn from all the leagues, and not from the football league only. If Harvard had withdrawn from...
