GATEWAY Another notable achievement of the year was the rehabilitation of the prin- ciple of student co-operation in the government of the school. With some modi- cations of its former structure, the Student Council was re-organized. Some valuable precedents have been set and the way has been opened for a progres- sive actualization of self-government in accordance with those principles of social control that ought to prevail in a group of young men and women who are looking forward to the responsibilities of citizenship in a democracy. A stable and effective form of self-government is not the product of a year. It is an evolution. And as the experience of other institutions makes plain, it is brought into being along conservative lines of experimentation and as the result of patient study of the particular problems presented in each particular situation in which it happens to be undertaken. The frequent collapse of schemes of self-government in colleges is no proof of the impracticability of the idea of self-government, but rather an indication of the necessity of great wis- dom and patience in exploiting the idea. And great appreciation is due those students who, by the choice of their colleagues, have, during the year, under- taken the perplexing and often vexatious tasks devolving upon the Student Council. Certain it is that the morale of the school has been benefited ma- terially ; for there have been, during the year, fewer offences against good order and the requirements of self respect ; and those which have occurred have been, generally speaking, not very grievous. All in all, the year has been one not only of considerable recovery from the academic disabilities caused by the war but also of progress along definite lines toward the GREATER UNIVERSITY of our hopes and dreams. The securing of an ENDOWMENT FUND of approximately $200,000.00 has done much in placing the institution on a firm financial basis and in imparting a tone of optimism to all our efforts. Nothing, however, imparts more of promise for the future or more pleasant memories of the past, than the splendid initiative and enthusiasm which has permeated the student body and found expression in many forms of wholesome enterprise.
