American college student of the seven-
teenth and eighteen enturies. was “so
incurably addicted to studious piety that
he found little time for play and none
for dissipation” recently received a severe
jolt through revelations of student habits
in diaries and records now in possession
of Harvard University.

Feordecty conduct were -more charac-
teristic 8f students’ behavior:at that time.

Among these records is an’ incident,
recorded by one Ezra Clapp, a student
at- Yale in 1738, who-says?*

“Last night some of the freshmen got
six quarts: of rhtim and about two payls
of sydar, and about eight ‘pounds of
sugar and made it into Samson, and in-
vited. every scholer in college into Chur-
tis’s room, and we made such prodigous

Other incidents related in Cotton
‘Mather’s diary, while*a student at Har-
vard, show that ministers’ sons began as
early as 1644 to get. their reputations.
Mather told of an incident where two
ministers’ sons, students at Harvard,

about £15 and, being found out, were
whipped by the President of the college.

law school to take a psychological test.
On this basis a hundred and seventy-five
