Dartmouth president opposes Eighteenth Amendment
Dr. Ernest Martin Hopkins of Dartmouth College in a public letter to the National Temperance Council condemned the Eighteenth Amendment. He argued it is not the function of the Constitution to impose personal conduct rules and questioned whether prohibition has achieved temperance or benefited industrial efficiency. Hopkins cited rising saloons and law evasion, calling the tax and liquor profits a driver of corruption and an underworld power.
