Is difficult to speak with confidence of
the morals of any body of students. What
they do wronir Is generallv unknown to
the college officers. There Is. of course,
some drunkenness and Immorality. I
think that these evils on the whole are
diminishing, basing my opinion on what
I learn from observation, from the con

what le told me by the younger alumni.''
