TUDENT SELF RULE

A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT IN COL-
LEGE GOVERNMENT.

 

A Five. Xears’ Test Near a Large City—-
' Broken‘liules and Penalties—College
' Authorities May Recall the Charter at

\Vill.

‘1 Most colleges give free play to the

[ democratic instinct only in the infor-

mal and unofficial life of the students,"

and have had to submit to the powers
that be in the matter of government.
In the few instances outside of Bryn
Mawr, in which self—government has
been tried'it' has not been thoroughly
successful,probably because the at-
tempt has not been completed at Bryn
.Mawr, h0wever, the entire government
of themselves 'llas Been placed in the

 

cessful record is shown of a govern--
ment‘of the people, for the people, and
by the people.

Up to 1892 the conduct of the stu-
dents was intrusted to themselves, and
a system of government through pub-
lic opinion successfully met the needs

munity. In that year, owing, to the in-
creasing size of the college and the cor-
responding complication of communi-
ty life, the 1ule of unformulated p7,: blir

the Student’s Association for Self-Gov-
ernment. was formed, and a charter
drawn up to give definite expression to
the hitherto unwritten laws. The au-
thorities and dean of the college for-
mally conferred on‘and intrusted to the
association the exclusive management
of all matters concerning student life
which do not fall under theMjurisdic-
tion of the authorities, which is strict-
,ly aCademic, or under that of the mis-
tresses of the halls of residence.

The sphere of the mistress includes
everything pertaining to, household
arrangements, the management of seri
vants, the various-times and seasons,
such as the hours for meals, the hour
for closing the halls, all purely
domestic rules and regulations. If any-
thing goes wrong' in the household
economy, complaint is made, not to the

dress or remedy comes from her.

In accordance with the terms of the
constitution the association must have
a president and vice president, elected
annually, who, ex-officio, are members

- of an executive board of five, the other

three of which are likewise elected an-
'nually. This board is supplemented by
an advisory board of ten, who act with
the former when requested to do so, or
when a difficult situation is to be met.
A meetn: g of the whole associatiOn may
be called at any time by the'president,
and must be called at the requestkof ten
students. The quorum is two-thirds.
There are several proctors in each
hall of residence elected by the resi-
dents of that hall, who are responsible
for the daily conduct of the students
and meet at stated periods to report to
the executive board. The proctor sys~
tern has proved far and away the most
expedient methOd of keeping general
order and her often ungracious duty is
lightened somewhat by the feeling of
loyalty and personal responsibility
which self—government arouses, to the
extent that often the culprits own up of
their own free will. In fact, the hon-
or basis,w . which alone makes such a
governmentxin a college possible, is so

in examinations, .Aan offence which, in
most colleges -is ”considered trivial by

the general question of cribbing pres-
ents no difficulties whatever.

The success of self-government at
Bryn Mawr has been assured now for
five yearsiand under circumstances the‘
most difficult, put to the test, as it has
been, in a college situated near a large
city. The students have absolute free-
dom of coming and going, and ’ no
strict eye is kept on their actions, so
that did they not submit absolutely to
they
would undoubtedly in the impulsive-
ness of youth ,get themselves into
sc‘rapesP- But they are required always
to register their address before leaving
the hall for a night, even though they
go only to one of the other halls ofres-
idence. If they go to town for the
evening, they must have a chaperon
appointed by the executive board. In
the daytime—that ll. up to half after 6

like.

When the rules of the association are
disobeyed a penalty is imposed. If a
student breaks a rule wittingly more
than once she is reprimanded, and if
she recéives three reprimands‘she is
liable to expulsion. The reprimands
are issued by the executive board, but
the power of'infilcting penalties to en.-
force its decisions rests with the asso-
ciation at large. The-extent of the as-
soclation's - independence .of the college
authorities is shown by the fact that it
practically possesses the povver of ex-
pulsion, inasmuch as it has the privi-

a. student to the authorities who have
given their promise to support the de-
cisions of the body. In'the event of as
extreme a measure as expulsion any
student has an appeal to the associa
tion.

The five members of the executive
board are possessed of great power and
have jurisdiction over the. conduct of

' some 300 fellow students, the associa—

tion consisting of the whole body of
students, gradu‘ate and undergraduate.‘
[t is therefore of course. consideipil a
great distinction to be a member‘of the
board and,‘ indeed, the office demands
no inconsiderable qualities both of
mind -and character. T_.act judgment

however, a large German woman, car-
tying several great bundles, climbed to .
the only seats that were vacant, and'
filling on'e, herself, placed her bundles

'Too MUCH ELOQUENCE. 7

Mark Twain’s Sympathy Fluctuated' and
in the End the Preacher Lost.

In an interview with Mark Twain
the followingamusing story was elicited
'It seems that Twain once went to
hear a missionary lecturer who had
worked among the poor. The speaker
was eloquent. He drew a picture of a.
star v1ng family that drew tears from
his audience, and Mark Twain, who

lj-happened to have four 100- dollar bills

with him said to himself, “I’ll give one
of those bills when the plate comes
round.”

The preacher continued, his story
became more piteous, and hauow’ing
and Mark Twain said, “I’ll spare two

40f those bills.”

But still the tale of woe went on,
the agony \acgumulating and accumu—
lating, until Mark Twain exclaimed,
“For goodness sake send that plate
round,' so that I can. pour my sym-
pathy intoit. I’ll give all four bills,
and I’ll write a. cheque too.”

' But the lecturer «rather overdid it.

“He went on talking and talking,”
said Mark Twain, as he told the story,
“and as he talked my enthusiasm
calmed and calmed, and the red flush
of my sympathy became paler and
paler. And when he had been talk-
ing about half an hour I had saved
one of those bills, and when he had
talked five minutes more two of those
bil.s were mine again, and when he
had been talking. an hour I had won
all four back, and, by gosh, when he
finally d_d send that plate round I bor-
rowed ten cents out of it to pay my car
farg home.”

.. lN SIR WALTER SCOTT’ S MAIEEAG

I Curious Offers Made to the Great Author

. v by tho Gentle Sex. _

Some letters from the fair sex caus-
ed Sir Walter Scott at leaSt as much
amusement as annoyance. In his'ear-
lier years “a mad woman from about

Alnwick, ” by dint of letters and plans, ‘

firstextracted from him a guinea for

a charity, then sent him the manu-»
script of a curious novel, which he.

was to publish in, his own ,name, and
of which he was to take half the prof-
its; finally, on his declining the part-
nership, that he should take shares in
a patent medicine for babies, her own

invention. Dread of participation in

“such a Herod—like affair,” drove Scott
to decline the honor of future corre-

} spondence with the lady. ,.

On a March day in his fatal year,

1826, Sir Walter anSWered two modest

requests. from widowladies. One of

these, presuming on a former slight ac- .,

quaintance with his mother, desired

that he should impress on Peel, then

Home Secretary, the merits of her sec-
ond son, whom he was to represent as

“m for any situation in a public of-

fice The second lady, who had al-
ready perused~“Marmion”‘ and "The
Ladyof the Lake,” engaged-in return
for a suitable provision for 'her son’s
education, to read all her benefactor’s
other works. After dealing with these

letters Scott felt~himself constrained .-

to record his conviction that “your

“destitute widow, especially if she hath

a charge of children and one or.two
fit for patronage, is one of the most
impudent animals living.” Nor did
advancing age protect the t00- celebra-
ted author from m01e dangerous de-
signs. In his sixtieth yea1 Sir Walter
received a letter fr-om‘ 'a certain young
man of sapient family,” conveying to
him the information that .. woman of
“had so far mistaken
his intentions as to suppose that he
was only prevented by modesty from
stating certain wishes and hopes &c.’

Sir Walter’s reflections were not flat-
tering to the lady, and be excused him-

terms.”—~Temple and Bar.

Of Great Help to Her Husband in His
Literary ‘Vnrk.

In 1830, says Mr. Mabie in the At-
lantic, on a. path in a wood at Somers-.
by, Tennyson came unexpectedly upon
a slender, beautifulfgirl of seventeen,
and impulsively said 'to her, “Are you
a dryad or an oread wandering here?”
Six years later he met Emily Sellwood
again, on_ the occasion of the marriage
of his brother Charles to her youngest
sister. The friendship ripe‘ned into
love, but for lack of means the mar-
riage did not take place until June,
1850, the month in which Inl Memori-
am was published. The cake and
dresses came too late, and the wedding

.was so quiet that Tennyson declared

it as the nicest wedding he had ever
attended. Of his wife he said, many
years later, “The peace of God came
into my life before the altar when I
wedded her.” Of this marriage the
son\writes: “It was she who became
my father’ s adviser in literary matters.
‘I am proud of her intellect, 'he wrote.
With her he always discussed what he
was working at; she transéribed his
poems; to her, and to no one else, he
referred for a final criticism before
publishing. She, with her ‘tender,

spiritual nature’ and instinctive nobil—.

ity of thought, was always by his side,
a ready, cheerful, courageous, wise,
and sympathetic counselor. It was she
who shielded his sensitive spirit from
the annoyances .and trials of life, an-
swering (for example) the innumera-
ble, letters addressed to him from all
parts of the world. By her quiet sense
of humor, by her selfless devotion,
‘her faith as clearas the heights of
the June-blue heaven,’ she helped him
also to theutmost in the hours of his

depression and his sorrow; and to her ,

he wrote two of the most beautiful of
his shorter lyrics, ‘,Dear near and
true,’ and the dedicatory lines which
prefaced his last volume, The Death
of Oenone.”

 

'7 His Admiration VVaneil.

’ The' Philadelphia Record. tells the

following tandem idyl: “He was an es-
timable-young man in every way, and
she was more than estimable—in his
opinion—so, with the idea of wheeling
his way into her heart, 'he saved and

boarded his Shekels and purchased a.

fine tandem. But"the best-laid plans
of mice and men gang aft agley.’ They
had ridden some fifteen miles, and
after slowly and. laboriously pedalling
be, after
mopping his dripping brow, gasped out
convulsively: ‘M—M—.—.May, you c——c-—
can p—p—put your-feet on the c—c—
casters now.’ ‘Why,’ said his com-
panion, ‘I’ve had‘ them on ever since
we started." He said nothing, but set
his teeth grimly’ ands-he has wonder-

ed ever since then why he has not call-
"ed on Sunday evenings.”

'A Kansas man was talking of that
State - and the “good times” there.

 

“Business brisk, is it?” he was asked.
.“Well,

its pretty lively,” he replied,
“at least in my town." “What
business are you in?” "‘Well,” he re-

A NEW AN£STHIETIQ

Not a Poiaop—Its Influence Lasts for have
Mral Hours.
Two German investigators MM. 7:177
horn and Heinz, have discovered a .

 

anew anaesthetic agent, to which they

have given the name orthoform.1his

Tsubstance belongs to the chemicai

group of aromatic amide-.ethers. 11
consists of a white, christalline powder,
without taste or odor; It does not

for by the duration of the influenc.
0f the substance. O-rthoform is pro-
uced with acids from soluble Ms-lts '
which possess anaesthetic properties.

is
..

Applied tothe surface of a wound M

or an. irritated mucous membrane; on
thoform, in a. powder
produces insensibility. Many obser-
vations of sufferers bring this fact to
light boldly. With bad burns in par-
ticularwand ev’ery one knows how dis
tressing these are—orthoform subdue:
the liveliest pain in a-few minutes
and its effect lasts for hours. Inas-
much as orthoform is not a poison
(rabbits and dogs may take with im‘
punity from two to six grams a day). '
one may safely make a fresh applica-
tion when the anaesthetic influence
has begun to diminish. “ One discovers
how great is the toleration of it by the
organism, for instance, in a case 01
cancerous ulcer of the face, which is
the seat of such intense pain as to ren
der sleep impossible. The ulcer is
sprinkled with orthoform for a week
and the quantity applied may amount
to fifty grams. The patient ceases to
suffer, and no inconvenience follows
the expefiment. '

For the torture 0f cancer of the'
stomach Messrs. Einhorn and Heinz
have administered many doses of a
gram in the course of a single day.
In afiords great satisfaction in all cases

Sold is Mine on a Bet for $1,500,000. M

One of the most famous mines in
Leadville was the Robert E. Lee. Its
promise was discovered when the vein
or deposit was first struck, but for
some purpose or other people who did
not take kindly to it, and the owners
tried in vain to sell an interest.
gentleman who happened to have a few
hundred dellars was besought to take
a third of it for $300. He studied the
matter, and deeming the venture too
risky, declined. The Lee was a. pack
ety mine, and some of the pockets con-‘

owners wagered that they would take
$1,000,000 0f ore out of the mine in

twenty-four hours. By great good luck,

they discovered a few rich pockets and
won the bet. After this there was no

A Par for Star-Gazers.

. There look to be a good few stars
abov e us on a clear night. But the eye
can, as a matter of fact, only see at
the best about 6,000.

’ Thackeray’s Opinion
“The little ills of life,” say Thack-

eray, “are the hardest to bear. What
would the possession of one hundred
thousand pounds a year for fame .017
applause avail to a gentleman who was
allowed to enjoy it only with thecon-

of nails inside it? -All happiness
would disappear and plunge into that
shoe; all life would rankle around
those nails.” And as little things
liave the power to: annoy they. have
also the power to cOmfortandvhelp.
