THE ATHENEUM 41 So come on boys—let’s brace up and bring back that old More house spirit. It was good enough for Gayles and Harris and Hope and all that vast host of Departed heroes—surely it’s good enough for us. Let’s show the team we’re with them to the last notch, and in “defeat or victory”—let’s “be loyal just the same.” By J. L. Carwin, ’26.
