First of all, Kenyon students have always looked after each other and will continue to do so. The student in question was helped back to his dorm room and thought to be secure; however, he got up and went out to party again later…probably not something his friends thought of after tucking him in (surely thinking he would be sleeping it off until morning).

If you read the article linked on this thread you will see that this student was not a first time drinker and in fact his parents were concerned about him. He should have known his limits…it takes a lot of drinks to reach .43 In addition, he also used pot and ritalin…combining those substances with alcohol (especially lots of spirits) can have very bad effects and severely impair logic and reasoning, something I am sure the student had also experienced before based on information from his facebook profile. Many were at fault for potentially aiding his death, but the ultimate responsibility rests on the student to make the right choices.

Lastly, kids party hard at every campus, a certain percentage do not grasp the idea of limits and tragedy results.
