MUCH DRINKING IN COLLEGES
President Schurman of Cornell UnIver-
slty Has Come Out FIatfooted
for Total Abstinence.

President Jacob Gould Schurman Of
Cornell has come out fatfooted for
prohibition in his school of learning.
Alcoholism among the students. he
says is IN the increase, and should be
stopped before it goes any further.
While President Schurman does not
say that drinking among the students
Inevitably brings disastrous or serious
consequences, he does believe that the
man who is trying to get the fullest
value from his studies should be a to-
tai abstainer. Therefore, the leaders
among the upper classmen should new
er be een in any drinking resort, be-
cause they set the example and the
fashion for the entire institution, and
their word is, in some respects, almost
law. II a young student finds that his
social position or his personal prestige
Is strengthened by drinking, he will
drink. no matter what the effect is up
IN his work.
The situation at Cornell merely ems
phasizes the ancient fact that the ma
jority of young men do rot drink
through any great appetite for liquid
a~llurement, but because 1t becomes al
most an essential part of their social
duties.

WHY ONE MAN QUIT DRINKING

A professional gentleman, who was

glass, stepped into a saloon, and go.

A seedy individual stepped up to him
and said: II say, squire, can't you ask
an unfortunate fellow to Join your"
He was annoyed by the mans famil-
iarity and roughly told him, Il am
not In the habit of drinking with
tramps."
The tramp replied: You need not
be so cranky and high-minded, my
friend. I venture to say that I am
Of Just as good family as you are,
have just as good an education, and
before l took to drink was just as
respectable as you are. What is
more, l always knew how to act the
gentleman. Take my word for It, you
stick to John B~arleycorn, and he will
bring you to Just the same place l
am"
Struck with his words, the gentle
man set down his glass and turned
to look at him. His eyes were blood
shot, his face bloated, his boots mis-
mated, his clothing filthy. Then was
1t drinking that made you like this?'
Eyes, it was, and It will bring you
to the same If you stick to it."
Picking up his untouched glass, he
poured the contents upon the floor
and said, Then It's time 1 quit" and
left the saloon, never to enter 1t again.
