...motive for extreme effort, and public opinion would discountenance every victory by a trick. This trait of disinterested honesty gives a special interest to expressions of political opinion by college men. Moreover, as they are alert in forming opinions, an idea of what the progresive intelligence of the country thinks on current topics can best be gathered, short of the verdict of the polls, by knowing what the students think.
