Description

An editorial on the new students and the rat system. According to the editorial, the administration attempted to terminate or at least tone down the rat system in the 1916-1917 school year. Although some "Old Boys" asked to revive the system, the Chronicle stated that the rat system could "never be a success" and advised them to use trust instead to infuse school spirit.
