Alphonso Smith, pub lished in the November number of the Educational Review one educator is quoted as opposing" the honor sys tem on the ground that "it nourish es a false sensitiveness on the part of the student in respect to a sort of oversight to which he must sooner or later accustom himselt!" The statement starts an interest ing line of thought. While we do not believe for a moment that the statement is true in anv sense or to any deg. ee which would make it a valid and dangerous weapon in the hands of an opponent of the honor system, we do believe that it is pos sible to make one application of it in a way which may be useful. We have long felt (we may be wrong) that in many financial matters among the students there prevails a certain looseness, a lack of the accu racy, of the strict supervision and the accountability which prevails in and is inseparable from the conduct of any business. We had never ex actly placed the cause, until we read the sentence quoted, and this caused us to wonder if this state of affairs was not an outcropping, a misapplication, as it were, of the honor system. The subject is a difficult one to treat and we hesitated awhile lest lacking the skill its successful treat ment demands, we should blunder and thus do more harm than good. We interpreted the honor system last fall to be "broad enough to in clude every situation and every rela tion sustained by the institution to the student." Of all things we do not wish to be understood as limit ing the sphere of its operation now. But suppose we put it this way (we developed substantially the same idea in another form last week) In the scheme of education the Uni versity is an organism, each part of which must perform its function in order that a well-rounded, educat ed man shall be produced. Since character is the bed-rock on which manhood rests, since the honor sys tem has for its purpose (so far a it is a thing decided upon by premedi tation, and not a spontaneous up growth) the development of charac ter, the logic of the situation de mands that the honor system, in spirit and in practice, shall perme ate in the fullest degree University Jife. But though character is al ways at a premium the individua who has it and it alone as his capi tal stands scant show of success The business world demands men of ability trained in all the ways o business, This training it is the function o certain parts of the University or ganism to impart. Just as, there fore, in the world of business, though character is the foundation of it all (for lack of mutual confi dence would paralyse any system of business the world has ever seen) those methods commonty known as business methods prevail, so should the corresponding department of the University organism, while rest ing as a basis on the honor system be, nevertheless, dominated not by sentiment but by business methods So much for the theoretical side of it. Of the practical it is hardly necessary to speak. We have no particular case in mind as we write. If you think we have, it merely goes to prove that our remarks are not wholly out of place. Probably someone else is thinking about some thing else. At any rate we give the idea as possible food for thought. Take it for what it is worth. We don't know whether it has occurred to you or not but right now is the best time of all to get in some of those strenuous licks of work you've been promising your self all year. The pigskin chaser is a thing of the past. The man with the bat is a thing of the future In fact, 'tis a grievous admission to have to make, but there is really little to amuse you now except your books. Croakers will "sit up and take notice" that the dull season is on. An Observer's Observations. (Continued from 1st Page.) small pox scare and a compulsory vaccination ordinance which for non-enforcedness defies the produc tion of its equal elsewhere? Verily, the village, as such, is doomed. The "march of civilization" is in deed unceasing, irresistible, all conquering. Ye lovers of the vir gin forest, ye dingers to the seques tered solitude of the distant past, nerve yourselves for the clang of the trolley bell, the rattle of hoofs on the paved street, the jam and crush of the hastening throng, the towering oppressiveness of the giant skyscrapers nerve yourself, for they're coming and will be here some day. At Virginia. The faculty committee on ath letics at the University of Virginia has drawn up a rigid 'set of rules governing the eligibility of students to play on the Varsity teams of that institution. Among the most important of the provisions are: No professional coaches shall be employed at the institution after 1907. All successful candidates must give satisfactory proof of their ama teur standing and eligibility to the team. No one shall represent the insti tution who has not been a student at the University oi Virginia for at jeast five months. , SAYS big line of Gents' Furnishings and Clothing before buying your Pall Supplies.
