MANAGERIAL INSIGNIA
December, 1914

As a result of the agitation for managerial insignia, Palaeopitus submitted a plebiscite to the undergraduate body at the last football mass-meeting of the fall, November 19. The questions were: (1)—"Do you favor awarding insignia for managers? (2) If so, are you in favor of awarding the same insignia given the teams? or (3) Are you in favor of awarding some distinctive kind of insignia?" The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of awarding managerial insignia, 449 favoring the change where 13 were opposed to it. 190 men voted to award the same insignia to the manager as is given the team he serves, but 259 judged a distinctive type of insignia to be preferable. The majority of the men recommended a "D" underlined with a bar, a form of insignia which Palaeopitus had already endorsed. The matter will be officially reported to the Athletic Council, which may be expected to act upon it in the near future.
