Yale Moisture

"The name of Yale has been put on the balance scales rather unfortunately, for the interpretation put upon the vote of the University should have emphasized that Yale 'but stooped to truth' as it exists throughout the colleges of the country. Yale is not singular in sentiment or demeanor and the testimony of the recent referendum should be taken as universal rather than unique.

"The result of the agitation leaves Yale alone to face the music. If the hand of the News has been responsible for the unveiling of sordid truths, it must shoulder the job of swinging the pendulum back to grace. What then is the result which we fear? It is that Yale must pay the bitter price of being an example. Yale, then, is an example, and has shown that the wet majority of the country will not retreat before this legislation. This being the case, a compromise is both desirable and necessary if young America is to grow up with proper respect for law." Yale News, April 27.
