In "The Lafayette” we find the
following article on Traditions:
“College traditions are produc
tive of much amusement among
non-college men. The idea of a
senior devoting many weeks to the
raising of a young and tender mus
tache in order that he may be dis
tinguished from the lower classmen
is very amusing to the practical,
self-educated business man. The
blowing of horns and the ringing of
cow bells when unescorted girls
venture upon the campus is the
subject of merriment among the
townspeople. Such customs fre
quently meet with severe cricicism
on the part of the unitiated. But
traditions and customs have their
place in a college. They are the
expression of the individuality of
an institution. From a study of
the traditions of a college much
can be learned about the student
body. The presence or absence of
principles of honor, the prevalence
of-democracy or snobbery, the pos
session or lack of a sense of
humor—these and many other de
ductions can be made from a study
of traditions. A college is judged
largely by the customs of its under
graduates. From time to time new

established at our college. From
time to time old conventions out
grow their period of usefulness.
Let us seek, therefore, to discover
which traditions are valuable. Let
us keep these and discard those
which are harmful. Let us hand
down to future classes a legacy of
good customs. It is only by this
means that a college can have tra
ditions and still keep step with
modern progress.”
