WEARING A LETTER The matter of winning a letter is a serious matter. It means a great deal for anyone to be able to get the letter of his school or college. It is an increased feeling of importance one has when he is able to win his letter and in a school this means a great deal. There are students who have not earned it and are wearing this prized object. Many who have worked exceed ingly hard and have taken some terrific knocks and also have sacrificed a lot feel that this is being a trait or. It is being a traitor. It is like stripping your own soldiers of medals after they have been shot on the field of battle and posing as a martyr after the ca tastrophe has been quelled. Those who have worked hard to win one say that wearing a letter has now lost its joy because everybody wears one. When the Englishman is privileged to wear on his breast that little bit of engraved metal called the Vic toria Cross, that which men of any rank may be able to win, but which nobody can buy, not even a million aire, the people look upon him and feel that here in deed is a man. When a Frenchman is able to wear upon his breast the Cross of the Legion of Honor, as a reward for his services, or merit, the Frenchfpeople feel that here indeed is a superior one. When an old veteran who has fought in the Civil War wears upon his breast that little pin showing that he is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, the people’say here is a man who fought for his country’s sake and his privilege to wear upon his breast that little cross of honor. When a man is privileged to wear upon his breast the letter of his school or college we say here is a man who has by hard work and careful training been awarded his letter. There is a great responsibility resting upon the young man who is granted the privilege of wearing the letter of his school. His responsibility is not doing or say ing anything that would in any way disgrace the name of the school. He is in a sense a marked represent ative of the school. We hope you and you who are wearing this school insignia will return it to its rightful owner or if you have gotten one with more stripes than you have work ed for cover it up until the honor has been bestowed upon you on the annual Jolly-Up day at the closing of school.
