YEAR BOOK 1934 )c Council I TNLIKE the student councils of most preparatory schools, the Kent Council has almost complete charge of disciplinary matters concern¬ ing the School, only the most severe offenses ever being referred to the Headmaster or Faculty. It might well be termed the “back-bone” of the Self-Help System as exemplified at Kent, for it relieves the masters of all extra-curricular duties with the exception of coaching, placing the gov¬ erning of the School almost entirely in the hands of the Student Body. The Council is composed of eleven members, three from the Fourth Form, three from the Fifth, and five from the Sixth Form. The Fourth and Fifth Forms choose six nominees each, from whom their representa¬ tives on the Council are elected by a ballot of the entire School. The five Sixth Form members are the three Prefects, who are appointed by Father Sill, and two others voted to the Council by the Senior Class. The elec¬ tions are usually held on or near the first of May when the Student Ad¬ ministration of the School changes hands. Originally, in the constitution drawn up by R. P. Titus in the fall of 1908, the Council was to consist of the three Prefects and four others, two from the Fourth and two from the Fifth Forms, but as the School grew it became necessary to make it larger. In 1927 Father Sill and the Alum¬ ni Council suggested that four more members be added, but when this amendment was submitted to the School it was not carried, and it was not until the next year that the Council was enlarged. The duties of the Council are manifold: it receives complaints and suggestions from both the Student Body and Faculty, acts as a mouthpiece for Father Sill and the Assistant Headmasters, and takes care of all routine discipline such as supervising Study Hall and assemblies. It also makes reports to the Alumni Council and Fathers’ Association when they pay their yearly visits to the School. During the past year the following have served on the Council: For¬ rest Cranmer, 1934, Chairman ; William Bradford Craig, 1934, Secretary ; Francis Cowles Cady, 1934; Peter Stuart Hay Moore, 1934; Robert Gor¬ don Donald, 1934; Cyrus Roberts Vance, 1935; Robert Lodington Jackson, 1935; Beekman Budd, 1935; Frederic Roberts Blair, 1936; James Harri¬ son Stanton, 1936, Sergeant-at-Arms ; Gifford Ladd, 1936.
