TO STAND ON HONOR.
Movement Among Colby Students creditablc
to Them and to the College.

The purpose to elevate the standard
of honor in college examinations out
lined in the following statement is
highly creditable to the students who
inaugurate it and if it should result in
nothing definite at present will have Il
beneficial influence:
There has beer a good deal of more
or less serious talk among us during
the past college year about the ques-
ton of honor in examinations. Ar
ticles have been published in the Echo
about it and the students have dis
cussed it, but all without result.
Every one has admitted the truth of
what has been said about the lack of
college honor, as if it were a misfor-
tune to be regretted and endured in
stead of an evil to be faced and cor
rected. We have been told of other
colleges where every student considers
it an objectionable offense and an
eternal disgrace to receive a particle Of
help on examination and where a mar
who is guilty of such an offense is COM

dents to leave the college at once and
forever.

their authors on every other occasion,

We feel confident that the great ma
iority of our students are too manly

that they only need to have their at

out boldly on the side of honor. But

With reference to Lake Cobbossee-

p%ortance of developing this resort. l,
is n of the most available spots as a
summer resort for the people of these
cities, but aside from this, by judicious
management, the lake may be made a
source of revenue, drawing a large
number of out-of-State people to its
shores. The fishing at the lake is al
ready first-class, but it must be pro-
tected. 1t is estimated that the past
winter 500 large trout were caught
through the ice. the most of them be-
ing sold contrary to law. There were
men who made a business of keeping
lines set throughout the winter. the
catch being sold in the markets.
Another practice was the netting of
smelts for bait at the south end inlet.
1t is said that thousands of them were
taken there last winter. shipped away
and sold. These little fish being the
food of the trout, salmon and bass in
the lake. the necessity of putting q
stop to this netting can b. seen. Pc
