THE A CLUB.
Membership in the A Club is by election. Each year there
are elected a number of young men who have represented the college
in some activities.
REWARDS.
No student will be eligible to any of these rewards who has
not been taking at least 12 hours in the College or three courses
in the Academy since the first of the school year in which the
contest is held. No graduate or person holding a certificate
from the department under which the contest is properly classed
shall be eligible to a reward. This does not prohibit a graduate
from one department participating in a contest which is properly
grouped under another department.
GOVERNMENT.
It is the ambition of the college to establish in the students
those high standards and ideals of conduct that inspire them to
lives of true helpfulness and genuine refinement. To this end we
seek to place the emphasis of control, not upon outside authority,
but upon the inner sense of responsibility and duty normally
residing in each young person. The college will, therefore, endeavor
to surround men and women with that atmosphere which
will engender, encourage, and foster in them a sense of their own
worthiness and dignity which they cannot afford to violate. We
look upon college life as not a separate and distinct sort of existence,
in which one is somehow preparing for another existence
in the great work-a-day world, but we regard it, and we
wish to induce our students to regard it, as a real section of life
itself where habits of thought, work, and conduct are being formed
that will cling to them through life and condition their future
failures and successes. Thus, as a college, we wish our government
to be such as shall develop self-government in our students,
for this is the ideal of all governments.
We give below some regulations which we expect each student
to respect. No student can be self-governed who does not
see that he keeps these regulations; the discipline committee will
be his governor.
DISCIPLINE.
The college life is that of a great family. The students and
teachers are bound together by mutual interests. The discipline isSESSION OF 1922-'23
