Not Conservatism

Not Conservatism

Our opposition to this change of name is not just lazy conservatism. We are dealing, not with a mere administrative fiction but with a living thing, an organic unity. Such must be handled with circumspection. Our feelings are that no major change should be made for a few years yet, if at all, to allow the effect of the present changes to settle down.

One grave problem around this place is the small degree of unity and esprit de corps in the student body. With the opening of the Union Building, the rose has a chance to bloom. So why change its name to lesser stinkwort ?
