The Past Year in the Assembly The assembly is the governing body of the students of Kenyon College. It enjoys the power of final decision in questions relating to student activities, and decides questions relating to student life, being subject, however, to certain regu- lations of the Trustees. During the past year, in addition to its regular routine business, it has had an unusual number of important questions to decide. At the beginning of the year the scarcity of material for the football team led to an agitation in favor of playing freshmen. After much discussion, both in the Assembly and on the campus, a resolution was presented to the Ohio Conference, requesting that the one-year rule be not enforced in colleges whose enrollment contained less than a certain number of students. It is expected that definite action will be taken by the conference in connection with this resolution at its spring meeting. Soon after this matter had been thus settled, the question of al olishing the professional coaching system came up and is still under discussion. Such a change will tend to free our athletics from any taint of professionalism and will place Kenyon in the lead among Western colleges in the fight for clean athletics. Besides these many questions of equal importance, such as the abolishing of hazing and the question of a college commons, are at present under con- sideration by the Assembly, and will probably be decided before the end of the year.
