...Student has used it to strike a sure deft blow against all that is illiberal and cheap in American college journalism. It is a fact that many college editors prostitute their intellectual standards and their literary skill to "exhorting application to study, denouncing unmoral students, people who do not cheer at basketball games, radicals and Freshmen Who Walk On The Grass." When modern education allows such inanity to flourish about its inmost shrine there is some reason for Mr. Upton Sinclair's rabidness...
...inasmuch as I do care about Harvard for its traditions of culture and intellectual valor and do detest its tendency for cultivating cheer leaders and cheering mobs; inasmuch as I do discern in the attitude of its President an ignominious desertion of the best ideals of the humanities for the "ideals" of big business; and inasmuch as I do consider such an attitude and philosophy as an effrontery to culture, not only in this continent, but in all continents, I protest and ask that my protest be filed.

A system of competition is to be established. But the crowd at a game is singularly averse to experiments in cheering, since vocal enthusiasm is only a by-product of interest in the game; and "chamber-expositions" of cheering are hardly a satisfactory test of merit in the field. Any group of vigorous and agile young men, who attack the problem with sufficient intelligence, numbers, and zest...
