 Vi r ,C r' ptrtt at UUBBleijtm “The Wesleyan Spirit’’ cannot be described or analyzed. It cannot be bought or sold. But it is a contagious, invisible something which permeates the atmosphere and infects all healthy minds and bodies that come within her walls. It is the spirit which makes a Wesleyan rooter form himself—as George Fitch says—into a “sort of human cataclysm composed of a vast howl, enclosed in a thin rim of face, and decorated with a fringe of wildly moving arms and legs. ’ ’ It is the “Wesleyan Spirit” that impels the athlete to leave a warm fireside to fight to the very last on a cold, muddy gridiron. This same “Wesleyan Spirit,” though flowing in other channels, has nourished our college into the great institution which it now is, and then won untold honors for her. The “Wesleyan Spirit” is that all services are worth while—those of friends and townsmen, as well as of the faculty, alumni and students, of the rooters as well as of the athletes, of the debaters, orators, the editor, the literary man, the manager, the minister, the musician, the artist. “The Wesleyan Spirit” sees reward in sen-ice. It is an old spirit, and has been taught from the beginning of time. The freshman usually catches the “Wesleyan Spirit” germ at the fall reception, which is given at “Hershey” by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.’s. It immediately begins to grow into such dimensions that he soon must become “bigger” to accommodate it and still be comfortable. If he forms a favorable impression of the Hall and its inmates, the freshman, if a member of the sterner sex, will in all probability get sufficient exercise to keep the young spirit in perfect bloom, by his tri-weekly trips for the purpose of renewing Hershey Hall acquaintances. Then by bringing it along with him to the annual Thanksgiving Banquet and carefully feeding it upon the various courses of class and college spirit menu, the freshman soon develops it into a mature miniature “Wesleyan Spirit,” which when associated with countless like spirits, will know no bounds. Thus the live student who enters Wesleyan at the middle of September can easily have that “True Wesleyan Spirit” before three pages have fallen from the calendar. Try it, Freshmen! , , , , , J ’ Island Lake SKSSsKKS'
