Show Tobacco at Yale. Of 331 men In the present freshmen classes at Yale, 152 use tobacco In .some form. Dr. F. J. Horn, medical assistant as-sistant In the university gymnasium, compiled the figures. He found thnt 54 freshmen use a plpo only, seven smoke cigarettes only, five nothing but cigars, 25 use pipes and cigarettes, nine smoke pipes and cigars, and 52 use pipes, cigarettes and cigars. Of the 152 men, 113 began at preparatory pre-paratory Bchool to smoke and 12 others began before then, bo that 82 per cent, of the smokers started before be-fore they went to college. Last year In the freshmen classes at Yale there' were 147 smokers, of whom 77 per cent, began at preparatory school. From these figures Dr. Dorn feels hlmsolf justified in making the statement that the majority of rmokers begin before entering college, In spite of popular opinion.
