Yale student are getting something

a few crimson-shirted youth, whose moat

of course, it is no more of a crime for a
college student to smoke on the public
streets than it is for one who does not
happen to be in that period of tutelage.
There are certain rules, however, which
all well-bred men are expected to ob
serve, and one whose time is largely
given to scholarly pursuits should cer
tainly be in finer touch with these. Gen
tlemen do not smoke on the street.
