Since the 1970s, [[Newman Day]] is an event celebrated at Kenyon College, [[Bates College]], [[Princeton University]], and some other American colleges. On Newman Day, students try to drink 24 beers in 24 hours, based on a quote attributed to Newman about there being 24 beers in a case, and 24 hours in a day, and that this is surely not a mere coincidence.<ref>{{ cite news|work=[[The Daily Princetonian]]|url=http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2007/04/24/news/18231.shtml|first=Carol|last=Lu|title=If I had a nickel for every beer I drank today|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930014926/http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2007/04/24/news/18231.shtml|archive-date=September 30, 2007|date=April 24, 2007|access-date=}}</ref> In 2004, Newman requested that Princeton University disassociate the event from his name, due to the fact that he did not endorse the behavior. He cited his creation in 1980 of the Scott Newman Center, "dedicated to the prevention of [[substance abuse]] through education". Princeton disavowed any responsibility for the event, responding that Newman Day is not sponsored, endorsed, or encouraged by the university itself and is solely an unofficial event among students.<ref>{{cite news|title=Binge drink ritual upsets actor|website=[[BBC News]]|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3652179.stm|date=April 24, 2004|access-date=April 23, 2009|archive-date=April 13, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080413183751/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3652179.stm|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|first=Jonathan|last=Cheng|title=Newman's Day – forget it, star urges drinkers|url=http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/04/23/1082616331695.html|work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]]|date=April 24, 2004|access-date=April 23, 2009|archive-date=November 21, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101121040345/http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/04/23/1082616331695.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
