I A iscc c at A AWW - A l 4 VVilliam Smith Student Association Although William Smith College has always had a system of self-government, it was not until last year that the William Smith Student Association was organized. All members of the college are members of this association, Whose duty it is to provide for the regular conduct of student affairs and to discharge such responsi- bilities of self-government as they have, with the consent of the college authorities, assumed. At the close of each college year a Board of Control consisting of twelve student members is elected to govern all college under- takings. It is the duty of this Board to consider all matters relating to student activity, and to bring them before the Student Association 75

THE PINE Now if by chance, I ever put My hand into some glue, Or madly squeeze a right-hand foot Into a left-hand shoe, These things I simply will ignore And cast them from my mind, For, brethren, they're all as naught, To the pains caused when We Pined. Some days We took our pens in hand And inspirations sought, By gazing out across the land, Absorbed in deepest thought. But inspirations would not come, Tho' we worked from six 'til nine, And the Board groaned out in deep despair We never can make this Pine! Our meters all refused to mete, Our rhymes refused to rhyme, The Editors refused to eat, They simply hadn't time, We worked like mad for weeks and weeks, We poemed line for line, But after all We're proud to claim The Nineteen Sixteen Pine. 74
