But I guess the bottom line of all this is that the members of the university community must not take such asinine comment too seriously. There will always be those who will have inane ideas about universities. You and I both know that we are all not drunken fools nor is the demon rum running rampant in our campus. It is a problem, certainly, and it must be dealt with but to single it out for SPeCial emphasis is to aggravate the problem. But, if such incorreét notions are maintained by those outside of the university community, it will simply mean that the university will become more and more risolated and inward—looking. I think that, in this event, everyone will lose, so we must strive to insure that it never happens,
