Martin of Chicago, president of the College, interrupted his formal inaugural talk to say: "More than two-thirds of our people morally and spiritually favor the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. In spite of the injudicious administration, which has resulted in an orgy of lawbreaking, of self-indulgence and ridicule on the part of the other one-third of our citizens, the foundation has been laid for a demonstration of race betterment and extension of life that will astonish...
