Immediately following the Student Volunteer Convention in Des Moines, the Eighth National Convention of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association will be held in the same city on January 5, 1920. This convention will bring together representative students and professors from all important institutions to consider the liquor problem abroad, to gain a vision of the responsibility of American to other colleges of the world, and to work out the plans for an extension of the college prohibition movement to all other lands...
Considering the fact that one University team in an attempt to uphold the liquor traffic in the recent intercollegiate debate was battered until it had, so to speak, not a keg to stand on, while its more soberly-inclined colleague went down utterly before the forces of booze, news of the generous distribution of gold and silver medals among the two unhappy teams is astonishing to say the least, besides giving color to the rumors that Harvard is fast becoming Prussianized. We are told that the Germans were accustomed to stimulate their troops after a "strategic retreat" by a wholesale...
...opening the affirmative argument for the University, Slater Washburn '20 maintained that though he held no case for the liquor traffic, there are four distinct objections to the 18th Amendment in that it is too radical and sudden a change, encourages attempts to violate the law, discriminates in favor of the wealthy, and weakens the Constitution.

Concluding the Princeton case. Randolph Clothier Sailer '19 argued that the 13th and 18th Amendments were analogous, and since both had been the result of less-inclusive plans, why repeat one without the other...
...prohibitionist you now say that any effort to impede the success of the federal amendment will drive the country to bolshevism. If you are on the other side of that question your point is that the failure to give people their liquor will turn them willy-nilly to bolshevism. We received many letters on the daylight savings movement in which the adherents of each side wanted it, not for their own comfort or convenience, but in order to save the country from bolshevism. The farmers would surely go over to that dread doctrine if the city dwellers luxuriously carved...
