THE OLD GUARD.

II is appropriate that the 1913 Saw
tar will be dedicated to the Old Guard
an organization OF fighting rooters
that boosted the Tigers last fall and
showed a Missouri spirit unwaverins
in time of defeat.
There is no organization in the Uni
yersity more representative of the stu
dents as a whole. The Old Guard
stirred Missouri enthusiasm, helped
the Tigers in the face of defeat and
had the true fighting spirit of the
University of Missouri.
College spirit and loyalty springs
from an organization composed of a
representative membership like the
Old Guard. 1t is the spirit engender-
ed by such a body that preserves the
best there is in college life and makes
it worth while.

VIEWPOINTS
Wear Blue Coats, He Says.


Blue coats and white trousers have
been suggested as a departure that
might further subtract from the ex-
pense of the Junior Prom without
robbing it of either glory or dignity.
And why not? AS it is we but fol-
low in a moderate way the elaborate
and expensive functions of certain in
stitutions. Why occupy the always
common middle ground? By follow
ing out the suggestion Of "One Inter-
ested" Missouri's Junior Prom would
be made distinctively Missourian. 1t
would typify a democratic spirit and
establish "a precedent against student
functions that by their nature ex-
clude many students.
The style Of dress is suitable for
the spring time of the year. 1t is no
less becoming than the conventional
ballroom attire and the wearer may
feel that satisfaction which accom-
panies the consciousness of ownership.
Let's have a blue coat and white
trouser prom. one that is distinctive.

ARE THE SCHOOLS TO BLANEl

What is wrong with the system of
education in Columbia and Boone
County? OF the 2,74O children of
school age in Columbia in 1910. only
1906 were in school. Only CAS- per
cent of the children of school age in
Boone County in the same year were
in school. Nearly all of the children
in the county more than IS years old
had quit school.
Conditions are not as bad here as
in some counties. Still it would seam
that with the University in reach OF
all. there would be more than 4sO of
the l.945 children between the ages Of
IS and 20 in school. Is the fault with
the system, or with the children, or
with the children's parents?
There is something wrong with the
system. at least. The schools don't
give the children training in the things
that interest them. OF the 9.213 chill
dren of school age in the county, it
would be miracle If all were interest
ed in the same thing. Yet the school
curriculum gives each one the same
training.
There are 761 illiterate persons in
the county. Many others are poorly
trained. These persons often fail to
realize the value Of an education. Yet
they are parents. They don't urge

HOME OF THE "HONOR SYSTEM"
DR.. R. H. Jesse Tells of His School Days at
University of Virginia, Where Student
Court Deals With Cheaters

absent a number of times, the pro-
fessor might call you in and talk with
you about it, but that would be all.
Fraternities We're Important.
There were fraternities there
among the students, and think they
were more important in student life
than here. Social amusements were
about the same as here.
There was little football, not
enough to boast of. at the university.
We played baseball most, and there
were also tennis and walking.
played third base on the second nine
at one school. but while l was at COL
lege walking was about the only ex-
ercise l took. One of the places to
which l used to walk was where the
monument to Thomas Jefferson, which
is now on our campus before Academ-
ic Hall, was at that time. 1t was later
taken away to make place for a larger
memorial and given to this university.
I'VE seem to speak of the honor
system in a way that l do not like,
as though 1t was a system for con-
Quoting examinations. In my mind
it is a spirit which prevails among the
students of a university and it was
as such that l knew it in the Uni
versity of Virginia. There was the
home of the honor system.
when / was a small boy a young
lady took some other young imps and
myself, We having no other school,
and taught us each day. She i'm
pressed upon us that higher education
was coupled with honor in examina-
tions and that one could not be had
without observing the other / take
no credit to myself that l never
thought of cheating i'm examination;
give all the credit to this young lady.
Cheaters Tried by Students.
THE professor never left the room
during an examination. He was there
all day. to answer any questions and
it was not considered dishonorable
to openly question him to get some
clearer understanding Of the meaning
of a question or to worm out of him
some information. / knew of only
two cases on record when a student
had been caught trying to cheat.
They had been promptly brought be-
fore a jury and tried and dismissed
from school by the students.
Il have had to take examinations
late because of sickness, when I would
be the only one. and the professor
would say to me: Now. l don't need
to stay around here all day. Here
are the questions. Take them home
and bring your paper to me when it
is finished
Il would not leave the impression
that the students at the University of
Virginia were little angels. for they
were not. There was much gambling
and drinking going on, more than
here: but cheating on examinations
there was none.
Il would like to see the same spirit
get into this University, and If it must
be introduced through an honor 'sys-
tem,' we'll and good. just so We get
the spirit and forget the system. I
would rather have my son learn honor
with his higher education than to get
all the education possible and not
have honor" c. NJ. f.

Standing on tne Hill dl 0"ontSoAo'
the home of one of Virginia's first
families, and looking down on the
valley fou could see the University
of Virginia and the town of Charlottes-
vile. One man who saw 1t for the
first time said it looked like a little
country village nestled among the
hills. The buildings of the university
are all connected by Greek colonnades,
each building having a porch and one
porch running into the other. The
entire square of university buildings,
dormitories and colonades form a
closed quadrangle.
1t was here that DR.. r. H. Jesse,
former president of the University Of
Missouri, spent his undergraduate
DAYS about 1870. He recalls clearly
his impressions q the school then.
People used to tell us that the
ombination of the Greek cOlonnade and
the University buildings was pretty"
he said. in speaking of the place.
THE buildings are all older than ours,
but they are still very pretty. About
1000 students attended the university
before the war and l guess the enroll
ment has about reached that number
again. The school was impoverished
by the war, as were all the southern
schools, and it has taken a long time
for it to regain It's former position.
I'm my time all the students lived
i'm the university dOrmitories. In all
of the buildings about the quadrangle
there were some living rooms, either
i'm the One-story colonades or in the
larger buildings. Each man when he
matriculated was assigned to a room
and to one of the three authorized
boarding-hous kept by respectable
families, impoverished by the war.
After Christmas a man could change
to another boarding, house if he de-
sired A servant waited on each table
at the clearinghouse and also cleaned
the same students rooms. built their
fires in the fire-places and brought in
water in the morning.
"As / remember it, board was $40
a month, payable three months in ad-
vance. 1 don't remember what tuition
or room rent was, but it was the same
for all rooms. no matter what size.
In 1925 the University Uf Virginia
was founded at the instigation of
Thomas Jefferson. 1t was intended
to make it a private school but Jeffer-
son got the state to take it in charge.
When the trustees started to elect a
president of the university, he inter-
fered because he thought the president
should be chosen by the members of
the faculty in the most democratic
way. 1t was not agreed upon until
about ten years ago that the univer-
sity should have a president. Before
that it had a chairman of the faculty,
chosen by it.
Colleges of engineering. law, med
icine and liberal arts were in the uni
versity when l attended it. Since
then l believe they have added a
school of education. Instruction was
by lectures mostly and more stress
was placed on the final examinations
for grades than I believe to be best
