Despite a rash of recent criticism, Quincy House residents have voiced almost unanimous satisfaction with their much-discussed mural. A poll published in the Quincy Mascle shows that most students are willing to keep the work, a few are enthusiastic about its merits, and only a negligible minority wish to have it removed.
