This newest action of the sons of fair Harvard is, in a sense, only an additional straw on the great load of protest which has been heaped on the present prohibition legislation during the past few weeks. But it might conceivably prove to be the straw which would break the back of the hard-ridden camel of dry enactments. The Crimson is well aware that there are a million undergraduates in colleges and universities in the United States; it is equally well aware that these students will be leaders of national affairs in a few years. The editors hope that...
