College cheers are very indicative of the distinctive types of character which each college produces. The esprit du corps of any college is easily measured by its cheer.

It is taken as a self-evident fact. But when as students we turn to the college papers, and ask ourselves how much freedom they should be allowed, we straightway find ourselves on a much disputed ground...
