of tobacco b. college professors: We
live in a land of personal liberty. Every
man has a right 10 DO as he pieases SO
long as his liberty does not intrude upon
the rights of others. With the college
professor il is different. He is the model
selected by many, young men who are
in the formation stage of character build
ing. AS is the teacher, so is the pupil
to great extent. As a private citizen,
the college professor has a right TO
smoke and chew ii he desires so 10 do.
As q teacher in an educational institution,
he has no such right In the first place.
it is a bad example for the young man.
and. in the second place, IL Is not a dig
nified thing to be done by public edu-
Gator. 1t lowers the dignity and i'm
pairs the influence of any teacher who
practices it. The student. even. who
smokes or chews loses some of his re-
spect for his instructor when he secs
him doing the same thing. Again, il IS
a serious reflection upon the high moral
tone of public educational institution
for members of its faculty TO indulge in
practices which are not consistent with
the exalted positions of such Institutions
in their work OF elevating the race and
making the world better"
