PUCE OF HUY. COLLOQUIUM TOPIC Paper for Discussion Read by Dean Sheldon. 1876 T 0 *1920~ COVERED In Old Days Students Had Strict Rules. “The Place of the Faculty in Univer sity Government” was the topic of a paper Tear] at the first meeting of the faculty colloquium Tuesday evening, by Dr. Henry D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education. In the paper Dean Shel don divided the life of the University in to four periods and pointed out tlm dif ferent methods of faculty government during each period. The first period came between the ' years 187(5 and 1893. John W. Johnson was the president of the University at that time. During this time the faculty was a small body that met weekly and kept strict control over the students at tending the University. The faculty at that time was highly paternal in uat'ure und the rules were very strict. A few of the examples of the strictness of the faculty were given bv Dr. Sheldon. One student was compelled to apologize for whispering in class; another was sus pended for making the “bluff” that he “could put something over on the fac ulty.” During those days it was impos sible for a student to go to a theater without the consent of the faculty. Per haps the worst problem was that of the saloons and a great deal of the faculty’s time was taken up in the discussion of methods of dealing with students found entcj ing them. Faculty in Factions. The second period comes between the 1893 and 190” During these years Charles H. Chapman and Frank Strong were the presidents of the institution. During this period, said Dean Sheldon, th- faculty branched out and tried its hand at governing various other campus institutions. This proved a failure, how ever, for at that time the faculty was divided into two factions and any new improvement oir change that was backed by the one was certain to be downed by the other. In 1903 president P. L. Campbell came to the University and this marks the end of the faculty strife and the beginning of a period of construc tion. At this time the faculty assisted the president in working out a new re gime. The extension division was es tablished and new policies were worked out regarding graduate work and summer sessions. System is Developed. From 1014 until the present time murks the fourth period to which Dean Sheldon referred. The government dur ing this period has become more com plicated. Aside from the regular faculty meetings that are held once a month an other faculty meeting is held every month that is known as the faculty col loquium. This is a meeting of the fac ulty as a whole committee, Resolutions can be made and voted upon, but during this meeting the faculty is acting in un official c.ii acit.v. The discussions are always informal but some of the most important questions arising on the cam pus in recent years have had their birth at these meetings. Another faculty in stitution is the Advisory board, consist ing of three deans and three faculty mem bers, elected for one year. This is a spe cial committee to present the faculty point of view to (lie administration. According to Dean Sheldon, the main values of faculty government ns the Fni versity has it are these: (1) The faculty has shown consider able capacity to work out constructive solutions to University problems. (3) As long as the faculty has a voice in de terming internal policies the faculty mem bers are more contented. (3) The ex istence of the faculty us a legal body en ables faculty members to protect their rights. GIRLS TO TRY FOR GLEE Laura Rand Makes Urgont Appeal to Those Vocally Gifted.

Orchestra Reorganized By Rex Underwood. 35 Members Out for First Rehearsal; Tryouts to be Held Soon For Second IB roup. The University Orchestra is organized for work again this year with Professor Underwood in charge. About 35 old and new members turned out for the first rehearsal last Tuesday evening and others will probably be added soon. There is plenty of good material and a really fine orchestra is expected. The annual concert trip is to be one of the features of the year. Professor Underwood desires to impress upon auy and all students who have orchestral in struments of any kind that they are eligible and wanted for a second orchestra which will be formed. There will be no tryouts for these students, and all comers will be accepted, it was announced. A new feature which Professor Under wood promises for this year is a great deal of variety in the repertoire of the orchestra. Many persons think that a good orchestra will play only technical and classical selections, but the Univer sity orchestra is preparing to offer the latest popular and jazz music in real style as well as classical music, and it will he ready soon to make its first ap pearance before the student body.
