' f expresslon of the student voice 1n the democracy of our Microcosm 1 ' X X Familiarly known as STU-G, recognized by the Simmons community entire, and readily identified by one of the colleges most honored and respected symbols, the blue and gold ribbon cluster. Origin: the first year of our college, inaugurated by our Hrst dean, Sarah Louise Arnold and the members of the first class at Simmons. The Student Guild as it was then titled, pre- sented as a result of its First issue the Honor System, an idea which has now become an ideal. Derivation: from the basic student need for participation in the maintenance and legislation of college aiiairs. The word, STU-G Q' is perhaps the most expressive and versatile in the Simmons vocabulary. As a verb it is seldom used intransitively, always very actively, expressing the views and ideas of an entire student body and always employing a direct object. That object? Action and satisfaction of the needs of the student. As a conjunctive, STU-C acts as inter- mediary between faculty and students in its open meetings held regularly throughout the year. As an adjective, STU-G not only describes our highest ideals at Simmons, but defines college policy for us. STU-G in its role of pronoun represents each member of the college community-as a noun standing for many persons and things, STU-G is the subject of high approval. 22
