...last analysis, these statements are true, but no one realizes better than President Lowell that the ideal he has in mind has never been reached. Man has been unable to devise any method by which he may express his finer emotions in common with his fellow-men, and it seems impossible that he ever will. While organized cheering is in theory far from perfect, still it seems to be the only method by which hundreds of enthusiastic and care-free supporters of a college team can give vent to their enthusiasm and the spirit of loyalty, manliness, and sportsmanship that...

I believe the true source of the trouble lies not so much in the method of conducting these meetings, as in the section men themselves. To these men is often entrusted the whole conduct of the course. They read the weekly papers, grade the hour examinations, theses, and finals. The professor often gives these men absolute power over the grades...
