SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1935. Volume 6. Number 4.

"Emasculate Deference."

"Emasculate Deference."

Largely the blame for the persistence of such has been attributable to the obsequious and emasculate deference of the Executive to every whim and nuance of public sentiment which has had the luck to find expression.

Commercial thoroughness and systematic industry we do not deny them: but imagination and perspective we could not, however, exhaustive our appreciation, lay to their charge.

It is a ludicrous anomaly that the general opinion of Victoria College on all matters which affect it closely: whether they be social or otherwise, should not find sympathetic response in the body which is elected to centralise that opinion, and diffuse it through the social fabric of which it should be a compelling element.

It was pitiable indeed to see their aggressively eager countenances at the Freshers welcome.

On such occasions each year they find their own level, and reinvest themselves with the import which older generations have already discovered to be specious.

—Bayard.
