...settled satisfactorily until they have been dragged into the light of free and frank public discussion. Should the 18th amendment be repealed, or itself amended? If it must stand, is it to be interpreted literally, so as to abolish all use of alcohol, or liberally so as to limit prohibition to actual intoxicants? These are questions which public opinion alone can answer, and the bombshell of national prohibition has left a very much dazed state of public opinion in its wake.

The benefits of experience in management are more equally distributed, and studies are said to receive more attention...

The principal activities of the university are listed under three heads. In Class A are placed the captaincy and managership of a major sport, chairmanship of the Yale News and of other college papers and the managership of musical clubs. In Class B are the captaincy and managership of a minor sport, membership on the Yale News Board and any other offices other than in Class A. Class C includes membership...
