...Lewis is authority for the statement that no user of tobacco has ever headed his class at Harvard, or any other institution where class statistics have been preserved...

But people object, and say that there is no sin in moderate drink-Dr. Crosby has even said that temperance is more manly than total abstinence; the temperate man is the manly man, the total abstainer the coward, and the excessive user the beast. The man who can drink and hold a good deal, is sometimes regarded as a noble example of self-control.

So that, for instance, a cut in the hand of a man who uses the weed requires a much longer time to heal than...

It is difficult to see why the Library should be closed at all Sundays, unless for the lack of means to pay for attendants, but this, like several other recent improvements, is a step in advance, and a proof that Harvard College cannot afford to be bigoted...
