Chapel Speaker Attacks Drinking Dr. Ross Declares Abstinence Shows Greater Exercise Of Persona! Freedom "There is greater personal freedom in not drinking than there is in drink ing," declared Dr. J. Elliott Ross, Charlottesville, Va., in his chapel speech Sunday. "Drinking in its first stages may be an exorcise of freedom," he went on, "but in the later stages it is a complete renunciation of freedom. If a man is Tree to drink, surely he should be free not to drink.” I Dr. Itoss declared that the great- Jest school in the world is the Uuiver laity of Experience, but that the tui tion is high. lie expressed his desire J that everyone obtain a scholarship ; Iff this school, and especially to the ("course >in intoxicating beverages.” 1 From his own experience the priest jsaid (hat he has concluded that the (abuse of intoxicating liquors is one of the most serious social -problems at the present lime, that once a man has the habit of drinking to excess it is almost impossible for him to give it up, ami that no one who drinks can be sure of himself. "We cannot be sure that a man who drinks moderately will never drink to excess,” said Dr. Ross, "but we can be sure that one who never drinks at all will not become a drunk ard, and so it seems wisest not to drink. It is a small price to pay for freedom from alcoholism.” Dean Attends Confab Dr. Carl P. Schott, dean of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, attended the annual State convention of the Y. M. C. A. in .Hershey yesterday. Dean Schott •has been a member of the State Exe cutive Committee for the past three years. At Hershey, he served as chair man of the Physical Work Committee.
