RANKS COLUMBIA WORST
Asserts 65 Per Cent Of Harvard Men
Combine Wine and Bad Women
Report Also Scores Yale, Cornell,
Princeton and Cambridge.

Chicago, Sept 11--R. T. Crane,
millionaire iron manufacturer, made
public today arraignment of the big
universities OF the country. He
charged large prevalence of drinking
among the students. Columbia
ranis among the worst, but condi-
tions at Harvard, Princeton and Gor-
nell are almost as bad.
OF the students at Harvard, so
per cent drink in their freshman
year; S5 per cent in the" senior, and
so per cent of them SO to the bad,
according to an Investigation, which
Crane has made.
lie has spent much time and
money putting under scrutiny, the
results OF higher education. So bit
ter is he, that he declares colleges do
more harm than good. Crane says
in his report:
Incredible, He Says.
An outsider can scarcely realize
the amount of drinking that goes on
in the club rooms Of the colleges, Re-
ferring particularly to Harvard the
number of students who combine, in
q mild degree, wine and women, 65
per cent; who drink heavily. 35 per
cent, and who have two or three
dots" year, also As per cent.
II do not doubt that this state of
affairs exists at other colleges At
Princeton. it is beer, beer, beer
1'he town Is licensed and the body
OF students, in my mind, drink even
more than Harvard men On one
occasion. | believe there must have
been more than 800 students dead
drunk.
Yale Holds Saloon Glasses.
'At Yale, drinking is recognized
in so great a degree that the classes
have their tables in the bar rooms.
! was never so shocked in all my life
as when | found New Haven desc
late, dehauched and whisky-soaked
town. Some time ago the statement
appeared in New Haven paper
that there were 1000 fallen women
in that city
AT Cornell, the conditions are
somewhat the same, although | be-
leve Cornell students do not carry
their excuses so far as do the boys
at Princeton, Yale and Cambridge.
The Cornell boys-are great on beer,
as are also the men at Princeton.
Columbia the Worst.
''At Columbia, / believe there ex-
lists more debauchery than In any
other college. because of proximity
to the famous resorts of the city. If
further proof be necessary, let me
quote from letter from E.'C Mer-
Ger, who is special secretary of the
Association of Colleges of North
America, and who is following this
matter for the association, which
shows that it has taken upon itself
the work of reforming college men.
He is it's special agent and is
visiting the colleges and delivering
a lecture, 'Coiiege Men Have Met in
the Slums and Prisons of New York
He says:
~ did say and have written
proof to back me up that have met
personally and have heard from the
most reliable authorities of some
1900 college bred men in the slums,
prisons, jails and sanitariums, who
were down and out through fast liv-
ing. The noted bread line in our
city has constantly in it college bred
men,"
The rest of Cranes report Is a
story of drinking, immortality, brawl-
ing and reckless money-spending.
