HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
To make Harvard's transition to a brewless university less painful, the CRIMSON and the Lampoon are staging a beer-drinking contest on Thursday and Friday, January 10 and 11 in the Lampoon Restaurant. Every man who can prove that he is a student will be to undergo the gruelling test for the prize of one keg of beer.
The capacity of the entrants will be tested by consuming a liter of the beverage in the shortest possible time. The man who succeeds in downing the amount permanently in the least number of seconds will be proclaimed the winner.
It is many years since a similar contest has been staged in Cambridge. With the coming of prohibition and the subsequent popularity of cruder forms of alcohol, beer has been forced to take a back seat position. Authorities on the subject feel that Harvard men today cannot make a decent showing, since lack of practice and bad alcohol have done little to develop undergraduate stomachs.
