The Student Council WAS on March 3, 1919 that the plan for the present system of Student Government of the University was adopted by the student body. Created, as it was, to promote a brotherly feeling among the students, and for the promotion of a greater and cleaner “Georgia Spirit , we may say that the Council lias not shirked the great responsibility which was placed on it by this ever growing community of cultured and educated men. For four years the Student Body has been directed by a supreme organization, the Student Council of the University of Georgia. This council is composed of twelve Seniors elected annually, two from each department with one non-fraternity and one fraternity man, thus making the body thoroughly representative. From these men there are elected three officers without the slightest elemnt of politics: President, Vice-President, and Secretary-T rcasurer. The duties of the Student Council arc about the same as those imposed upon any other body of similar nature. From it come all of the rules and regulations governing the actions of the Student Body, which has the power to rescind any action of the Council by a two thirds vote of all the students. At the present time it may be safely said that tin Council has the respect of the entire student body, and that a stable and sane system of Student Government has come to remain in the life of the University of Georgia. For four years the strength of the Organization has grown until today it seems that the Georgia system is one of the best found in any Southern College. The prevailing sentiment since its creation has been to put able men on the council. In a conservative manner the men from year to year have gone forward with the work, each Council following in the foot-steps of the former and going just a bit ahead in its undertakings until today we believe that the time is not far-off when the Council is to mean the most in the life of the University.
