There seem to have been three distinct
parties at the Self-Government meeting
on Monday night. Some, the Radicals,
called loudly for “individual liberty’.
They were Utopians unwilling to face
the fact that the highest standard of
ethics is not universal. Those who have
low standards will break rules, deter-
mined from the first not to report. To
allow such license is to sacrifice to an
exaggerated ideal of individual liberty the
good of the community.

The second class were oligarchs. They
realized the need of government, but
wished the responsibility of this to de-
volve on a few. Many of these took their
stand from pure laziness. They them-
selves were unwilling to report infringe-
ment of the law, therefore they would
elect officers who would bear the burden
of unpleasant duties.

The third class combined the demo
cratic ideal of equal responsibility with a
practical method of gaining good govern-
ment. They showed the absurdity of the
question-begging phrases, “spy” and “tell-
tale’—and showed that responsibility to
the Association means more than respon-
sibility for personal conduct.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

News Fails to Distinguish Academic
Honors

To the Editor of ‘‘The College News’’:

In the issue of “The College News” for
February 17th, I find, for the third time
since( mid-April, an announcement of the
award to me of a Fellowship. Now “The
News” never has been very strong on
grasping distinctions in academic honors;
for instance, Miss Greene, the present
fellow in Semitic languages, has recently
been heralded as holding a scholarship;
and among the items recorded in the ca-
reer of one of the British scholars, one
reads Mathematical TRIPES (sic!);
s0 what wonder that after three an-
nouncements “The News” has not yet
spoken exactly of this foreign Fellowship.
The announcements in question are as
follows:

April. 22, 1915 “a prize of $800
from the American School of Classical
Research”. (Note the magnificent if
meaningless title of the mythical institu-
tion!)

April 29, 1915 “the Research

Fellowship given by the American School |

of Archeology at Athens”.
February 17, 1916
ship in the American
Athens”.
Being a person averse to unnecessary |
attentions, I have never asked to have
any announcement made of this award,

“a Fellow-
Academy at

even though I am proud of being the first |
woman to hold the Fellowship. But since |

“The News” loves to dwell on the sub-
ject, I desire to prevent further garbling |

of the truth. Will you please state that

examination, awarded by the Archeolog-
ical Institute of America to be held in the
American School of Classical Studies in
Athens.

In conclusion, may I suggest that when
“The News” desires to report academic
honors it make some effort to learn from
authoritative sources just what may be
the nature of such honors.

Individual Liberty and College Principle
Ty the Editor of ‘The College Néws’’:

One of the principles of the authorities
of the College which seems to be little re-
garded by the students now-a-days is that
Sunday be kept as a day of rest. No as-
sociation meetings, nor academic appoint-
ments are allowed (not even ice cream
may be delivered at the College). No
regular exercise can be taken on Sunday,
the tennis courts, athletic fields, and
swimming pool may not be used. The
Christian Association has always stood
for the observance of Sunday, but feels
there is need of reminding its members
of its position. The Christian Associa-
tion Board therefore takes this means of
stating its firm conviction on the subject.
The board recognizes the right of the in-
dividual to liberty in her views and ac-
tion. Committee meetings, board meet-
ings, try-outs, and rehearsals for plays,
however, place an obligation on some who
might not otherwise work on Sunday.
Even if none of the members of a com-
mittee disapprove of such a meeting, the
committee should think of the precedent
they are establishing and the principle of
the College they are disregarding. Sun-
day is becoming more and more a day for
doing odd jobs instead of a day for rest
and worship. We should like to urge as
a board that the members of the Chris-
tian Association realize that Sunday is
one of their greatest opportunities “to
strengthen their religious life”.

LADIES’ TAILORING

SELF-GOV SCORES PEM WEST



Fire Drill Follows '18’s Victory

Routed from the lethargy which fol-
lowed the excitement of the water polo,
Thursday night, by the sound of the fire
bell, Pembroke West assembled wearily
in the front hall. E. Holcombe, ’17, in the
double capacity of fire captain and head |
proctor, merely remarking on towels
which were not wet, passed over the fire- |
drill and took up the cudgels of Self-Gov- |
ernment against Pembroke West.

She said that the Self-Government
Board had recently summoned her and
complained not only of the noisiness of
Pembroke West, but also of its failure
to report the breaking of rules. Miss Hol-
combe said she thought these faults were
due to general carelessness rather than to
‘particular individuals. The proctors have
been more alert and the Hall somewhat |
quieter this week. |

SPECIAL MEETINGS DURING _CON- |
FERENCE WEEK





The Christian Association Board will |
hold special meetings every morning at |
8.15 during the week of March 5th instead |
of the regular board prayer meetings.
These are open to everyone. They will
last twenty minutes and will consist of |
readings on different subjects.
