PRESIDENT OF ASSOCIATION EXPLAINS WEEK-END QUESTION:



4a

f Principle of Self-Government i is Directly Involved

(Specially Contributed by Kathrine Gardner)

The question of week-ends has come up
again with a new.significance. Because sev-
eral students had taken frequent week-ends,
which in President. Thomas’ opinion made
them undesirable, she explained last spring
a desire to limit the College to four week-
ends a semester. The Undergraduates.in a
meeting .sympathized with President
Thomas’ desire to keep up a high academic

- standard and to avoid criticism of the Col-

lege for laxity of any sort, but objected to
the rigidity of a‘rule punishing. the many
for the. sake of the few. We left for the
summer, then believing that © President
Thomas not only understood our point of
view, but also would leave.the question to
the regulation of public opinion.

During the summer, howeyer, all the stu-
‘dents who had taken more than four week-
ends and the class of 1925 received con-
tracts to limit elves to four, which
they had.to sign before their rooms would

“be reserved. After the support given the
‘spirit, if not the letter, of President
Thomas’ law, the students indignantly pro-
tested against the apparent disregard of
their powers of self-government. The ques-
tion then widens, and begins to involve the
near and joy-giving principle of individual
liberty.

In this light the Undergraduate Associa-
tion reconsidered the subject. Inasmuch as
“self-government,” according to the char-
ter, includes “the exclusive management of
all matters concerning the conduct of stu-
dents in their College life which do not
fall under the» jurisdittion of the author-
ities df the College, or mistresses of the
halls a residence”; inasmuch as, if the
matter is academic, the rule proposed is
certainly not a strictly academic regulation ;
inasmuch as the administration based its
statistics for’ sending out contracts on self-
governing records, thereby admitting the
previous jurisdiction of self-government in
the matter ; and inasmuch as any such reg-
ulation would’ transfer this jurisdiction
from self-government’ to the administra-
tion, interfering with the jurisdiction of
self-government without the assent of the
governed, the Undergraduate Association
passed a resolution to surrender the whole
matter to’ self-government.

At a meeting the Self-Government Board
explained the justification of taking up the
matter. It emphasized that more than a
question of week-ends was involved, that
the principle: of- self-government would be
infringed on, and above all, that the matter
of week-ends was merely the occasion that
brought up the far more important ques-
tion of tke power of self-government.

and, with every desire of fairness. to the
administration, explained their point of
view.

It seems that President Thomas consid-
ers that “continuity of: residence is an aca-
demic matter.” Similarly, she feels that
proctoring, quiet hours, singing in the din-
ing room, going to the theater, if not reg-
ulated satisfactorily by self-government and
injurious to College work, are finally under
the jurisdiction: of the administration. In
President Thomas’ opinion, the individual | ————————————-———
ethic life of each student, the good name
and fame of the College, the training in
independence, the assistance given the ad-
ministration in regulating. College life are
the objects and purposes of self-govern-
ment. _Whatever, -in_ short, directly or in-
directly affects academic work, whether it
be for the moment in the hands of self-
government or of the wardens, she feels
to be within the jurisdiction of — the
administration. 4

We, on the other hand, feel that, as a
self-governing body, we should have a part
in making as well as in ,carrying out all
policies regulating College life.
