To use the words of Dr. Jordan, no

I reply that when American football
reached auch a stago that It was own
shadowing everything else- In npariy
' every large college In tha country, Stan
ford and California-were tha only two
universities that- did away with the
game, and substituted for It a sport
Tn whlchv the students had almost no
Interest. As for wins auppers, I am on.
able to learn of auch a thing aver hav-
lng been given at Stanford. ; ,,
Stiff Btaadara of Study. ' '
It ought to bo obvious to any one
that It would bo a physical lmpoaalbll
Ity for atudenta to behave aa tha Or
. gonlan sayB they do and yet remain In
a college with scholarship restrictions
, like thoae of Stanford. ' .
. No ona will attempt to deny thar modf
erata drinking of beer la and always has
been Indulged In at Stafford, although
In a smaller degree than1 at other repre
sentative unlveraltlea. ,It Is lmposalbla
.to obtain tha exact figures, but from
t what I have been able to gather I
. should say that considerably mora than
fifty per cent of tho students do not
drink tt all, and aa for Immoderate
.-.. drinking. I personally do not know of a
-, single man in thla unlvaralty who Is an
immoderate' drinker. ' '
Now drinking at Stanford, unlike that
- at other universities, confines Itself al
most exclusively to tho socaUed "bear
, bUStS." 1 '
Tho ealebratlons ara Innocent, aven
more than the name Implies, and tradt

ulty members have repeatedly declared
such' form of celebration beneficial to
the students and college a it prevented
the men from going to tha dfy to cel

would do if they had no chanca to !t
out their' enthusiasm at home. '. Only
two cases of disturbance have resulted.
'" and In obedience to tho request of the
faculty committee no beer, has alnco
been drunk In tha houses in question.,

These examples should be sufficient
( to show that the students have always
been willing to meet tha Student Af
fairs committee mora than half way,
and that every time any crowd of stu
dents has been told to stop drinking
they have stopped. These things hap
pened under the old committee, men
' who were knowa, loved and respected
by tvery man In the university. . Thla

Tho atudenta realgned themeelvea to
tha only posiblo view to ba Uken under

cold-blooded fact remains that he haa
hurt Stanford, and that he, personally,

Dr. Jordan atralghtway appointed an
