Too great reliance had been put upon
the power and Willingness o. young
men to control themselves. ne 1deal

the weak and the vicious take adYan-
tage Of such confidence ana are not
restrained by steady Of mataref age
and judgment.
Prompt action has been taken III the
cases of students who were known 70
have violated the moral standard OF the
University. Some were refused fe-sid-
mission into the University an the be
ginning of the spring term; some were
re-admitted on probation, and others
were required TO give satisfactory
guarantees Of their conduct ~ the fu-
tnre. This enforcement Of discipline
has had a saIutuary effect. There was
at first very restless spirit OF in
subordinaflon which manifested itself
in many ways among the student body,
Meetings were held and plans were
proposed for taking the discipline out
of the hands Of the executive and plac-
ing it in committee composed OF stu
dents and professors. Bnt, alter seF-
eral days OF unrestfained agitation and
discussion, the better Judgment and
manhood OF the student body asserted
themselves and the idea OF morality
sustained by proper, authority prevail.

feetly free and untfammelied vote OF
the student body. 4 crisis mas been
