COLLEGE OF THIS AGE IS SAFE FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

The younger generation, denounc ed as playing fast and loose with the Ideas cherished their elders, may not be such a bad lot after all, In fact, study o f th e subject is leading to the suspicion that in some respects they may be equal In morals and self respect, and certainly freer and more independant. There is smoking and drinking and sex irregularity In the colleges, but they are Infinitely less prevalent than many persons have been led to believe. A most thorough search falls to disclose more than a fractional p er cent of college girls guilty of improper conduct— not more than one tenth of one per cent. Much noise has been made over a few isolated examples found, but the bulk of the talk is hearsay and ram- or. Each college has heard that the neighboring college has had some trouble, and the neighboring colleges return the compliment. It is like it mirage that disappears as one ap- p roaches it.
