Down in Doyers St., Manhattan, the miserables of the island, unostentatiously mouch along. Drunks muse on the likelihood of panhandling the price of a finger or two of "likker" (anything with alcoholic content). Drug addicts deviously ponder methods of getting another "shot of morph" (hypodermic injection of morphine), or a "sniff of snow" (nasal inhalation of crystalline cocaine).

Such performances, wherever conducted, seldom bring anything startling to light. They would never be held if there was any likelihood of a grave discovery. The undergraduate critic has had no working knowledge of any college other than his own (save in exceptional cases like the report of the student committee at Dartmouth [TIME, Aug. 4, 1924], which very intelligently visited other institutions), and even of his own college the undergraduate...
