This happened in 1909, and was by nature largely an experiment. Subsequent experience, however, has shown this to have marked the beginning of a very successful un- dertaking. This organization, which includes every man in the dormitor , has for its purpose; First, the formation of rules of proper cnuduct about the college, and; second, the enforcement of these rules. The executive work is carried on bv the Student Coun- cil , which is composed of four Seniors, three Juuic.rs. two Sophomores, and two Freshmen. Kacli cnuncilman is elected by the members of his own class residing ui the di ' r- mitory and serves during two semesters. The cnuncil meets every second Wednesday evening to transact business and to will guide his wa ward footsteps into the straight and nar- row highway of geutlem;iid c. mduct. If the advice of the ci uuril is uidieeded m.ire drastic uiethoils ni.ay be employed. 1 )uring the present school ear the conduct of Bundyites has been so sane that the council has had no serious prob- lems to solve. A new constitution has been adopted, which is fundamentallv the same as the old, and only a few details were modified. There is one erroneous idea which may become conta- geous, that is that the Student Council is an independent body endeavoring to taboo certain pleasant exib. The fact is that the Student Council is absolutely dependent upon the Student Government . ss.,ciation, of which every dor- mitory man is a member, and only exists as long as it is supported.

The boys of liuncly Hall had established a system of self-control in that year and were making a success of it. Miss Catherine Snepp, then a Senior, was a very progressive person and a firm believer in Women ' s Rights. She began to advocate student govern- ment among the girls and the result was the organization, that spring, of the Girls ' Student Council, with Miss Snepp as its first president. With the assistance of Miss Florence Hanscm, who was then Lady Principal of the dormitory, this council drew up a c institution of self-government, which was immediately adoiitol. au.l the Earlham Hall Student Government Asso- is that .llownig proctor s sicni was eslalilislicd and has laste.l until llic present. !
