No John, No!

Dear "Smad,"

Sweetly reasonable as always, the College Council. ever anxious to guide the wayward steps, of youth, has curbed our tongues; for what the tongue cannot say, the mind cannot see!

Our debaters have been denied all subjects pertaining to sex and religion—those trivial pastimes which make their lives so sweet. Thus one avenue of immoral suggestion has been firmly closed.

The S.C.M. is the next danger spot to the pure and saintly. What could be more insidious than the tree distribution of that nauseous organ, "Open Windows"? Two articles taken at random from one number are entitled "The Mastery of Sex" and "From Rabelais to D, H. Lawrence." not to mention articles on religion (of which there are some). Such a mischievous influence must be extirpated from our college life.

The library is the third festering sore, but the Council is confident that the soporific effect of the library will so cloud the intellect of the innocent-minded student that the amount of immoral suggestion that will penetrate his deadened perception will be negligible. The distracting stillness of that morgue renders one incapable of understanding topics such as are represented by the Eugenics Magazine, or of penetrating the full subtlety of an unexpurgated copy of the "Decameron" or of the "Arabian Nights." De Maupassant reads like a nursery rhyme.

But horribile dictu, perhaps the anaesthetic is not all powerful, perhaps some yet unsullied fresher, crystal clear in Ins mind will, as in the vigour of first resistance to hypnosis, withstand the numbing effect for one short moment. In one tardy, damning moment the foul heresies of sex and religion may do their work—a young life blighted! (Tears).

Thus will the risk of sex and religion entering the student mind be finally removed.

Further than this, it is a civic duty for the College Council, in all its piety, to implore the City and Parliamentary Librarians to choose this, in place of the everlasting bonfire.
