Urges Harvard Men Take
Lead in Prohibition Work

Every Harvard man in America is
urged to become a leader in the fight for
national prohibition. in an article signed
by Lawrence G. Brooks, '02, a lawyer of
Boston. which appears in the current is
sue of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin.
Graduates especially are urged to help
stamp out the idea that alcohol is ''es-
sential to a successful celebration"
Brooks draws the wide difference be-
tween the views held by college men on
the liquor question fve years ago and
the attitude they now assume.
I'm the present time of food shortage,
what further need be said for national
prohibition than that the amount of food
stuffs going into the manufacture OF beer
and distilled liquors would feed 100000
persons" he added.
