...direction; we are becoming too staid, too learned. Some society which can be called `The Harvard Society for the Propagation of Vice,' or `The Harvard Society for the Suppression of Virtue in Undergraduates,' ought to be established before we become too wedded to our rut. I should recommend that the active members of this society should be undergraduates alone, but I think, at the same time, that it will be well to insure the success of the enterprise by making the members of the Faculty honorary members of the club.

I call for some antidote for such learned societies as the Natural History Society, the German Club, and the French Club; for the establishment, in short, of `The ignorance Club of Harvard College.' This I do not recommend; I insist upon it as a necessity.

Both aimed to allay the almost universally acknowledged super-Nation in the enforcement of its prohibition law. One, the Conference of Senior Circuit Judges, of which Chief Justice Taft is Chairman, petitioned Attorney General Stone to recommend, in his report to Congress, that the Prohibition Unit be transferred from the Bureau of Internal Revenue of the Treasury Department to the Department of Justice. The other, the Anti-Saloon League, urged the President to expedite the passage of the Cramton Bill, which would...
