Beth,
1. It may be no accident that the history of drinking in college is a
territory virtually ignored in the literature. This is a problem territory
that often gets hawked by its players as "getting worse and worse" -- a
theme that doesn't get much help from an informed historical sensibility.
2. Start with Straus, R.; Bacon, S. Drinking in college. Westport, CT:
Greenwood Press, 1971. 221 p. (113683). It's wonderful and it will give
you a picture of the scholarly positioning of college drinking a
half-century ago.
3. I once collected a terrific article on college drinking in FORTUNE
MAGAZINE, from the mid- or late-1940s. Unfortunately, I can't lay my hands
on my FORTUNE file at the moment. This article is well worth seeking out.
Some hits on ETOH:
4. Landesco-J. College seniors and the liquor problem. Annals of the
American Academy of Political and Social Science. Prohibition: A National
Experiment, 163(Sep):130-146, 1932. (078834)
5. Gonzalez, G.M. Effects of raising the drinking age and related campus
initiatives on student alcohol consumption and alcohol- related problems.
Journal of College Student Development, 31(2): 181-183, 1990. (109929)
6. Giles-G-J. Student drinking in the third reich academic tradition and
the nazi revolution. Conference on the Social History of Alcohol, Berkeley,
CA: 2 Jan - 5 Jan 1984. 21 p. (075057)

Here's an interesting question. Any scholarly works on the history of
drinking at college come to mind? Jon
