EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: For the benefit of the new members of the university, and of many other members who seem to need information, I wish to say a few words about the Harvard Total Abstinence League. The object of the society is to "discourage intemperance in drinking": not, as many suppose, freshman punches.

There are a number of freshmen who have taken up the sport and have been on the field but a few weeks.

We have seen that a college teaches its students how to be humble and how to study. The added application to study, then, of a postgraduate course broadens very effectually a man's views and inculcates in him an aptitude for study and learning, of which his four years at college had given...
