The Howling Hundred is the most enthusiastic boosting organization which belongs to Fairmount College...instigated by Hellmuth Meinicke and Charles McGinness, the two yell leaders are veritable pepperboxes, and when they get started, they resemble a pair of windmills in a Kansas windstorm.

Although the organization bears the name of the "Howling Hundred," the cognomen is rather misleading, as it compromises not a mere hundred, but all the students of the college.
