...majority of students are no reason why the squad should need or deserve continual demonstrations of their approval. The honor men do not expect the gratitude of their fellows; the debaters need no mass meeting to inspite their efforts the track men do not curl up and quit if the Stadium is not filled with an enthusiastic throng.
