Qiterary Digest, July 10 and II. 1920
COLLEGE STUDENT DRINKING
SINCE PROHIBITION
and
COLLEGE STUDENT EDITORS ON
COLLEGE DRINKING

The Digest has done good serv;-e in the
cause of truth by collecting from college
presidents and from college student edi
that prohibition was increasing drinking
among college students. The information
was gathered by means OF two question:
naires sent to these two classes of quail
fed Witnesses to practically all of the
colleges and universities in the United
States. The following are some of the
outstanding statements in the Digest's
summary:
Prohibition is winning in the colleges,
according to the almost unanimius testi-
mony of more than 200 college and uni
versity heads. The repeated charges
that college students and the youth of the
land at large have been debauched by pro-
hibition are refuted by this great array of
witnesses.
There are 213 replies, representing
forty-four states. The replies are
well-nigh unanimous in reporting that
drinking in colleges and drinking by the
younger generation as a whole has de-
creased under prohibitiin, that the tipsy
student is as unwelcone as he is becona-
ing unfamiliar, and many of them agree
that the student body of today is of a
much higher moral and intellectual stand
ard than any generation in the days of
booze and beer
Student opinion as to the amount of
drinking now compared with the past is
widely various. Some report it increasing,
but the majority Of these young college
editors agree with the majority opinion
expressed by the college heads
that drinking among students has declined
