Dr. Daniel Marsh, president of Boston University, is quoted as having said that in more than four years as head of B. U., during which he attended football games, parties, banquets, and smokers, he has seen only two students who appeared to have been drinking. He has never seen a student drunk or a student with a pocket flask.
Presumably this proves in Dr. Marsh's mind that there is virtually no such thing as drinking in the colleges of today. It need scarcely be pointed out to any undergraduate or person closely connected with student life that such an assumption is utterly groundless. There is a great deal of drinking among the students of nearly all the colleges and universities in the country. So much has been definitely established by the series of collegiate prohibition polls, recently undertaken and carried out at the instigation of the CRIMSON in more than a score of institutions of learning in various parts of the land. Dr. Marsh only shows that he is naive enough to believe that what he, as president of a university sees, is a fair example of conditions as they are.
