No explanation was needed for the pub's regular customers.

Friends of Steadman in the Law School were quick to defend his allegedly unethical actions in connection with the Year Book's publication. They claimed that the book was Steadman's brain child, that he had done most of the work to make it possible, and that the men on the Year Book staff whose work went unrequited were first and second year men who would have their chance to reap profits next year...
