...country say that student drinking is not general. That statement was made last week by a prominent dry before the Judiciary Committee of the Bouse of Representatives. What does it prove? With due respect for the judgment or those presidents, we cannot help feeling that their opinion is of slight value unless checked by facts. And so far as Yale is concerned, the News, through its questionnaire, proposes to have a look at the facts...
...News referendums of 1924 and 1926 concerned themselves with sounding out undergraduate sentiment on the Eighteenth Amendment, but did not attempt to investigate the amount of drinking. The only figures available for comparison, therefore, are those from senior questionnaires in Yale, Harvard, and Princeton.

Lawyer Untermyer had already dismissed a reorganization plan devised by Halsey, Stuart & Co., calling it "a mere gesture to force the company into receivership. . . ." Nor did he show...
Pennsylvania and Georgetown, consistently ranked among the high scorers in this meet, are the favorites again this season, with the former given a slight edge over the Georgetown group. The ability of the Crimson runners to cut in on the point total of these two, together with the dark horse upsets which always occur where a large number of teams are in competition will be the ultimate factors in selecting this season's I. C. 4A. champion...
