The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1916

Callow Fledlings

Callow Fledlings.

We notice with regret that there has been a return of the childishness, that manifested itself some years ago. We have once more among us the fledgling, whose delight it is to show his smartness by adding to, and defacing notices on the on the board in the hall. It is time that students' Association took steps to check this practice. Probably the instance punishment of one of these ladling would nip this regrettable movement in the bud. The student, who defaces these notices, is not in every case really blamable for his actions: he is rather the victim of his lack of years and of that sense of responsibility, which in a few years will cause him humiliation, when he reflects upon his youthful puerilities. Nevertheless the Executive, in its own interests, had better administer a corrective gently, but firmly, very, very firmly.
