ing Company, died Monday, March 8, 1890.
DR. Porter underwent an operation several
months ago from which he never recoV-
cred.
He was former associate editor of The
Forum magazine, and at various times
had been connected with the Funk &
Wagnalls Co. in an editorial capacity on
the Standard Dictionary; the Merck & Co.,
publishers of The Medical and Surgical
Bulletin, rhe G. & G. Merriman Co., pub

Born in England, DR.. Porter was edu-
Gated at Somerset College, Bath and Uni

of the deans, the faculty and trustees.
They didn't know then and wouldn't
know much more than the students per-
mitted them to find out now. But did
inquire from men and women student
leaders in fraternities and out, from
coaches than whom no ere on the campus
has a closer relation with real college life
and from alumni who revisit their col
leges frequently
Not only were my conclusions verified
almost without exception but found that
the change in attitude toward drinking
was as startling as the knowledge that
the consumption had dropped off. Right
now drinking is out. Disapproval is
again preponderant.
