16 1890 Another Oberlin town boy, Dudley Peter Allen, who grew up to be a prominent Cleveland surgeon with a rich wife, gave the money legacy from Hall. Another Oberlin town boy, Dudley Peter Allen, who grew up to be a prominent Cleveland surgeon with a rich wife, gave the money for the Allen Art Museum, perhaps the finest museum of its kind on any college campus in the country. Under the leadership of Fenelon Rice and his successors the Oberlin Conservatory emerged to rival Eastman and Juilliard as the nations best, and the only one to offer a lively liberal arts environment surrounding it. Its faculty and students have achieved for Oberlin an international renown matching that of the College.

1899 The main replacement for abolitionism was a long, earnest crusade for temperance and prohibition, against both tobacco and alcohol. Regional newspapers had almost as much scornful fun at Oberlin's expense over these issues as they had over abolition back in the 18503. The Wakeman Independent wrote in 1800; iiThe moral village of Oberlin is again on the rampage against the evils of society. This time tobacco has to suffer? in 1893 the Anti-Saloon League was founded in Oberlin. Over the next quarter- century the League would prove to be one of the most effective single-issue lobbies in American political history - the main arm of the national drive for the Prohibition Amendment of the 19205. The town of Oberlin remains mostly dry to this day. The disparity in prestige in our minds between abolition and prohibition obscures the strong line of continuity in motives between these causes. Both were impelled by hope for a cleaner, purer, better world where people kept sin to a minimum in their personal behavior. 17
