Upon the recommendation of the I faculty honor committee, it was furK ther resolved that each instructor make a sympathetic presentation of jf the Honor System to each class. For I the sake of uniformity it'was resolved that each professor ask for pledges on all set quizzes and examinations. Heretofore some members of the faculty have asked for pledges while others have not. Regarding the question of whether it is advisable for the instructor to remain in the classroom during examinations, it was pointed out that no uniformity existed in this connection. It was not felt advisable to pass a resolution on this because the faculty wished to give every instructor as much freedom as possible in the conduct of his own classes. "The kernel of the Honor System is felt to be the cordial relationship that should exist between the instructor and his individual class," said Dr. Francis W. Bradley, chairman of the faculty Honor System committee. "If this relationship is what it should be, the faculty is confident that there will be no violations of the principle of honor."

The student body constitution calls for an election to be called by the president during the second week in October of each year to elect three (3) of the members of the student body to serve with two (2) members of the faculty on the social cabinet.

It will be called and presided over by the vice-president of the student body. The president will call the first meeting of the freshman academic class on October 29 for nominations for officers.
