Any Gratitude?

Are there any defenders of the Vote of Thanks? I never seem to run across any of them. Let us have some action, then, and see if we can rid the university, at any rate, of this nuisance.

Perhaps a Society for the Prevention of Votes of Thanks (or the Prevention of Cruelty to Audiences) should be formed?

On the other hand, we already have too many societies, and it would probably be most effective if members of student clubs were to propose at the next committee meeting that votes of thanks be abolished forthwith.
