And, now, as to the letter of President Eliot. It was my intention to say nothing more about that mat- ter since Dr. Eliot virtually abandoned his contention.

It therefore becomes necessary to state that the ''Growler" did not let the matter rest with Dr. Eliot's statement. As I do not want to follow the fashion of the anti-alcoholists, of publishing garbled extracts, I will here give the correspondence in full. All I have to say about it is that a little slip is liable to happen to anybody, even to the president of a great university. Quandoque bonus dorniitat Homerus. CHICAGO, ILL., FEBRUARY 7th, 1906.
