Today l know of six places where you can purchase bad liquor within q radius of two miles of the col lege. In Red Hook there were three saloons, not handled as well as they ought to be, but still very much bet ter handled than at present.
 Anybody can buy a bad grade of liquor at not very exorbitant price in the 'speakeasies' along the state road. l should say that there was more opportunity for buying liquor than before prohibition.
 "I do not think that conditions now among the college students are as bad as they were twenty-five years ago, but they are certainly worse than they were ten years ago."
