The present nation-wide questionnaires being conducted to find the stand of the public on the prohibition question seem to us to be of some practical value because of the very mass of statistics being compiled. A poll among college students seems especially important when we consider the contention of the "wets" that drinking among young people has become more widespread and of a more serious nature than ever before.

We know that almost every college undergraduate of the "Kollege Kut Klothes" type brags of the enormous quantity of hard liquor consumed at his Alma Mater. The general attitude is one which is worth investigating and certainly is serious enough to demand preventative measures of some kind if actually as bad as the "wets" paint it.

In order to aid in arriving at the truth of the matter, if such is possible, we have accepted the invitation of the Harvard CRIMSON to join in conducting a poll among University undergraduates. What the results of this poll may prove, we cannot definitely say. But we hope that it will be of some slight help in causing something to be done about what, in our opinion, is a most unsavory condition--the disrespect for law in the form of the Volstead Act and the terrific corruption in city and town governments resulting from efforts to "beat" that law. --Brown Dally Herald.
