l 1 I l l 3 1 I l I 1 it: Student 'League . In 1898, the first plan of self-govern- ment was submitted to the faculty. This was approved, and it has remained un- changed in its essential provisions. The executive power of the league is vested in the president and a 'committee con- sisting of a member of the faculty elected by the League, and representa- tives from each of the four classes. The purpose of the League, as found in the constitution, is to enact and enforce rules and regulations, according to the grant of powers given by the faculty, to maintain the highest ideals of honor and integrity in all manners of personal con- ductg to encourage active co-operation in the work of self-government, and to form an oiiicial body to give expression to the opinion of the students on matters of general college interest. The League is now a member of the Women's In- tercollegiate Association for Student Government. I3

Mildred Bar5etl:e+Matlam President, Iwould like to call attention to a slight discrepancy, or rather a redundancy, in the rules. lf you read them over carefully, you will discover that the last rule in reality includes all the former ones. l do not wish to give the impression of an adverse attitude. On the contrary, with the ex- ception of this slight error, 1 consider the rules to be extremely well thought out and adequate to the situation. Laura Bamv-Madam President, I think we ought to consider a long time be- fore we vote away any more personal freedom. .I believe in taking precautions, but what is the use, for instance, of binding ourselves to report our colds to the matron? lt would be an awful bore, and besides, I don't see what good it would do. Virginia Pa1'le.'--Maclain President, lt seems to me we ought to be willing to sacrifice a little personal freedom i11 the matter. Wie must remember that our bodies were given to us as a sacred trust, and we ought to be thankful for any sug- llestions that will help us to take care of themj 15
