Description

School Spirit: The spirit of a place or institution is its genius, its atmosphere, its dominating influence. It may be depressing or uplifting. One feels it through suggestion. The spirit of a prison is always unhappy and saddening in its effect. It suggests crime, the violation of law, the failure of life. The spirit of a church is different. "All seem to feel the spirit of the place, And by the general reverence God is praised." In a church we are awed by the greatness of the thoughts it inspires, we are made better and feel nobler because of the friendship it suggests and the good and holy things it brings to our minds. The spirit of a school is the dominating influence which "pervades and tempers the conduct and thought" of its students. That dominating influence may be good or it may be bad; it may be helpful to the great body of the students or it may be unhelpful.
