STUDENT GC HIC AIM of the Women's Student Govern- ment at Bates is to offer to each Bates Woman the greatest possibilities of college life, to develop a sense of individual responsibility through the honor system, and to promote co- operation and harmony between the students and faculty. With this in mind, the association has organized an extensive program of activities. This year the program included a series of Sunday afternoon teas, one of which was eo- edueational, demi-tasse se1'ved in the Women's Union, the annual Student Government banquet, the Spring Tea Dance, and two co-educational dinners organized with the help of the Student Council. 2 4 . . 5, ' , .

Group Sin!-ling and the initiation of the freshmen were also part of the program. As their guest for their banquet this year they had the Honorable Agnes Maephail, distingguished Canadian stateswoman, who came to the Bates campus as a leeturer.
