Professor Frank B. Tarbell gave the lee
ture of the Phi Beta Kappa course last even
ing. His subject was, The Government of
dim idea of how the college is governed and
Mr.. Tarbell was well aware of that fact, as he
bad read the articles in the college papers
which have appealed from time to time ask
ing 'swhy the faculty didn't do SO and So"
Mr.. arbell traced the course of development
of the government of the college, beginning
with the first. The governing board used to
consislst of ten Congregational nlinisters,and
the most strict attention was given to 'kesp-
ing the college orthodox" In the time of
President Clapp students had to be very
careful of their speech and action-e. g., one
that certain tutor "had no
more grace than chair.
In the time of President Stiles the number
of the corporation was increased, there being
ten ministers, the president and six civilians
or ''senior senator's" In 1871 the last
change was made, which gives every alum
nus of five years standing a chance to vote
for members of the corporation. Mr.. Tarbell
then stated the dependence of the faculty on
the corporation, though the latter usually
accedes to the recommendation of the former
in regard to the election of tutors and pro
fessors. But regards the election
of president and treasurer the cor
poration have sole control, as well
as in the erection OF removal of buildings,
improvements, etc. Mr. Tarbell said that
the president has power to do more than any
ten men, considering his position and infiu-
ence. The lecture was closed with a ref
erence to the power of the alumnus in pro-
noting the welfare of his college from the
standpoint of his voting capacity, and an ap-
peal to the students to choose the best men
| when their time shall come to elect members
| of the corporation.
