...heard from the dwellers in the Yard. Communications and denunciations will soon appear in their annual abundance. The justification of this old custom is to be found in the fact that it is successful in calling forth words of execration and condemnation. The Senior requires something upon which to vent his discontent, and then it distracts his mind from harmful meditation on the probable results of the world war, or the possibilities of more comprehensive knowledge of the fourth dimension. As David Harum says, "A certain amount of fleas is good fer a dog, it keeps him from worryin' about...

...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 is overflowing in them. As such, organized cheering is a worthy and desirable institution, but it sinks into the worst kind of unsportmanship when used only to drown out the signals of the opposing quarterback, or to rattle...
