redress tile balance if the old'; tliey
have' created a real imperium in im
perio, a student university what
would have been called in older times
a guild of students."
The catalogue of this guild is the
college "annual," published under var
ious names, in which are enumerated
and pictured the "endless organiza
tions in which (college) men find
their interests expressed. This is his
university, which he has built for him
selfthe educational system which lit
has devised."
That this development of colli ge
life, peculiar to America alone, may
be directed to fruitful ends, I'lofes
sit Abbott has urged, first, "closer co
operation between the guild of schoi
;.rs and the guild of students, and ;ie
leptance of the obligations of their
system by the undergraduates and the
alumni"; and, secondly, "the recog
nition cf this problem for what it is:
an integral part, not only ;f the sit
uation as it exists, but of the educa
tion of our youth in its entirety."

THE POINT SYSTEM FALLACY
The point system seems to be com-
nnual round of consider
. ation by American universities. After
: an observation of the way the point
j system for women worked here before
it was discarded, and some participa
; t:on in campus activities, we pro
' ncunce the point system impractical,
I unnecessary anil unuesiraiu.

Notice of Iron Sphinz Organization
Meeting
Hue to a misunderstanding several
members of the Iron Sphinx thought
that the meeting for Tuesday night
had been called off and were there
fore not there. Since the purpose of
the meeting was for organization of
the new men, it was decided to post
pone the meeting until everybody had
a chance to be there. A new meeting
is therefore called for Tuesday
night, may 2, at the Alpha Sigma Phi
house. This is one of the most im
portant meetings of the year and ev'
ery member of the organization, both
old and new men, should be there.
So remember the time and the place
and be there, everybody.
STUDENT DEMOCRACY
The students of I'liion CVUeg
Schneetady. New York, have alwas
been allowed an unusual degree of
freedom in managing their own af
fairs. It was this spirit of t .5k ranee
that made Union the mother of col
lege fraternities.
These organizations, at one time
proscribed in other collegse, were
there permitted to develop freely. In
a period of twenty five years, begin
ning with Kappa Alpha in 1S25, I'nion
gave the college world the follow
ing pioneer fraternities: Sigma Phi,
Delia Phi, Psi Upsilon. Chi Psi, and
" Theta Delta Chi.
Student government is no longer
unique, but seldom is it carried as far
as at Union, where every activity
which has to do with the college as
a wiiole is directly dependent upon
the will of the student body.
Suffrage is granted to all students
except the lreshnvn; even they be
come qualified voters in the spring
term. Any voter is privileged to ad- j
dress the meetings ;.nd introduce m i-!
tions. The legislature of the- siu 1. nt !
body rest mbles the British parlia-I
ment mere than our own Congress, in 1
by a constitution: more particularly,
in that the other branches of s:udent
gov. nr.neiit are created by its author
ity.
The exf-cu'ive authority of t".:e Mil
dent body is vested in the Terrace
Council, composed of sf-vf-n n:o:s,
elected to which comes as a n ward

faculty and mental training have a
place, but not the whole, nor, frankly,
to most men, the most important
place.
"While those in charge of the insti
tutions of higher learning have elab
orated curricula and extended the
scope and content of their own ac
tivities, the volunteer authorities of
the undergraduate world, aided by the
alumni, have founded another institu
tion, created in their own image, to
meet their own desires. They have
framed their own courses, employed
their own instructors, built their own
buildings, provided their own income,
and evolved a system that challenges
comparison with that of their academ
ic superiors. They have in truth,
'called a new world Into existence, to
The Cornell student council propos-

looses: "(1) to regulate and restrict
the amount of activities in which an
undergraduate iriay participate; (2) to
improve scholarship and the standard
of curriculum work; (3) to distribute
student positions nn-re widely, crc-at

undergraduates as a whole: (4) to les

The student council at Ohio State
proposes to place restrictions on the
participation of students who do not
maintain an average grade of C.
The Tulsa (Okla.) Collegian states:
' The faculty is certainly to be com
mended for taking the step it did in
regard to regulating the number of
active offices which a student might
hold."
We are firm believers in the law of
supply and demand as applied to stu

method of controlling student enter

unwarranted. No standard of points

Eighteen Years Ago Today
The Dramatic Club worked up a
special stunt known as a girl's mln
strel show and presented it at the
Oliver to a crowded house. It was
declared to be the biggest success of
the year.
Fourteen Years Ago Today

known as Xi Delta was formed by the
class of 1S11.
Eleven Years Ago Today
Over 1000 students of the Univer
sity held "Dandelion Day." Armed
with knives they gathered on the cam
pus and while the University Band
played, the students got rid of the
yellow flower.
Six Years Ago Today
The senior class decided to ask the
Cliancedlor and the University Senate
to Senate to excuse the members from
final examinations on the ground that
this is the custom in other scnools.
Five Years Ago Tofiay
The Cornhusker track team was de
feateel by the Ames team with a score
of G3-51. The field at Ames was a
sea of mud and all the events took
place in a drizzling rain.
Two Years Ago Today
