NEWHAVEN, Nov. 8.
The young Gentlemen of Yale College, have unanimously agreed not to make use of any foreign spirituous Liquors. -- As this laudable Resolution was entered into upon the same generous Motives that have prompted several bodies of Gentlemen upon the Continent to join in retrenching Expences, we greatly hope in a few years to recover that by Frugality and Industry, which we have lost by Profusion and Idleness.
The Gentlemen of the College cannot be too much commended for setting so laudable an Example. This will not only greatly diminish the Expences of Education, but prove, as may be presumed, very favourable to the Health and Improvements of the Students: At the same time all the Gentlemen of Taste who visit the College, will think themselves better entertained with a good Glass of Beer or Cyder, served them upon such Principles, than they could be, with the best Punch or Madeira.
