Blast from the past

I recently found an article on college morals from April 10, 1907. Chancellor James Roscoe Day of Syracuse University had addressed a church about some of the moral wrong doings of college students. He spoke about some young men that he had withdrawn from the university because they were frequenting local saloons and resorts. He felt that heads of universities should enforce morals, that they have an intellectual and moral responsibility to their students.
At public universities today, many people would probably think this case was absurd, but the fact is that this still happens at my private institutions today. Should college presidents be responsible in enforcing decisions about smoking and drinking on their campuses? Whose moral responsibility is it -- the students or the presidents?
