NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Whether liquor advertisements in the Harvard "Crimson" and "Lampoon" are construed to have been print in jest or not is a matter for the officials there to decide.

The law went into effect ten years ago, when the students of average college ago today were too young to appreciate its full meaning.
