SENIOR LAWS BREAK PRECEDENT
Class of 1913 Decides Not to Give
Portrait as Memorial.'
A custom which has been followed
by senior classes in the law depart-
ment for twenty-two years, that of
leaving as a memorial the portrait of
some faculty hiember, is to be broken
by the class of 1913, which has voted
to provide some other commemoration
of its career at the university. What
form this will take will be decided
upon at the next meeting of the class.
The first law class to leave a memo-
rial of a faculty man was that of 1891
which presented a picture of Prof. Wil-
liam P. Wells who died that year.
Each succeeding class has presented a
painting of some member of the lav;
faculty. These portraits have been
placed in the library and other parts of
the law building.

NAUG ORATED
BY JEFFERSOI
When the cu-tain goes -up for the
initial perfornance of "Contrarie
Mary," the 1913 Michigan Union opera,
at 8:15 o'clock tis evening, it will be
far from the usual first-night show
that will grace the boards at the Whit-
ney.
Long rehearsing has practically per-
fected the production. The practice'
held at the theater last evening went
through more a oothly than the reg
ular opening performances of former
years, and the show proved so enter-
taining to the rather multitudinous au-
dience of critics present that every
number was caled back for encores.
The second dty of the ticket sale for
the general public resulted in another
large block of admission cards being
sold. Seats for t1,e Friday night and
Saturday afternoor performances have
been practically sold out, but there are
still many pasteboards undisposed of
for the performances tonight and to-
morrow night. Tlhs genev~i sale will
continue I~- vr itney box office all
.is week.
"This year's opera is bound to be a
success," said Prof. Louis A. Strauss,
chairman of the senate committee on
dramatic organizatioas, following last
evening's rehearsal. "I am especially,
pleased with the music, which is unus-
ually effective, ani he environment
provided by the book is also a contri-
bution to the gener l excellence of the
production."

night. The present two and four year

The degree of B.S. -will be granted at

Several telegrams have been sent,
from here,but at a late hour last night,
it was reported that the telegraph
company had been unable to get any
wires through..
Stanley C. Auschberger,'16, is greatly
worried over the situation. "My 9ar-
ents live in the lowest part of the city,"
he stated, "that part of Dayton which
is most likely to be flooded. For that
reason I am afraid that the house was
one of those flooded." Auchsberger was
one of the students who failed to get
a telegram through to his parents.
Miss Leah Moskowitz, '16, is another;
student with fears for the welfare of-
her parents. "Our home is in the up-
per part of the city," she declared, "but
I fear that my father was in the lower

Louis Haller, '12-'14L, had the worst

he received a telegram stating that his
parents were all right.
Miss Helen King, '16,was also alarm-
ed as her parents live in the zone of
danger, but she received word that no
one had been injured, and her house
was left standing.
B. J. Miles, '14, A. W. Dann, '15L, A.

PROF. PHILLIPS TO LECTURE
ON SOUTHERN PLANTATION LIFE
Professor U. B. Phillips, of the his-
tory department, will deliver an illus-
trated public lecture on "Plantation
Life" this afternoon in room 203 Tap-
pan hall at 3:00 o'clock.
Professor Phillips, who has charge
of all the courses on southern U.S. his-
tory, is a native southerner who has
devoted his lifetime to studying that
portion of the country from every
viewpoint. He has written numerous
books and treatises on the south, and
is an authority on southern W 1'
Instituted by the^ "Father of Democ-
racy," Thomas Jefferson, in the Uni-
versity of Virginia at its founding in
1819, the honor system fdrmed the
corner-stone of that great statesman's
policy of student self-government. It
was his idea that the effects of fear
are but temporary and unsatisfactory,
and that the proper way to correct the
indiscretions of youth was to inculcate
"pride of character and laudable am-
bition" which 'would create a soundx
and permanent "spirit of order and
self-respect."
Jefferson's policy proved too liberal
in some respects, and the governors-of
the university went to the other ex-
treme. After many changes, a medium,
was reached in 1842, which hit a prop-
er balance of faculty control and self-
government. The students in a reso-
lution agreed to sign a pledge at the
end of every written examination that
they had neither given nor received
any assistance, and the faculty agreed
to take them at their word.
As used in Virginia' for 71 years, the
system has proved highly satisfactory,
according to those acquainted with its
working. The plan was instituted at
Washington and Lee under the presi-
dency of General R. E. Lee; in Van-
derbilt in 1875, and in the University
of Texas at its founding in 1884. Wes-
leyan followed in 1892 and Princeton
a year later. Williams, Yale, Leland
Stanford, Lehigh and many others
have since adopted the honor system,
and it is now under consideration at
Columbia, Syracuse, and Wisconsin.
A Princeton man, recently explain
ing its working to the Syracuse Daily
Orange, told how the freshmen on en-
tering the university were informed
just what the honor system meant, and
how, as a result, the whole tone of un-
dergraduate life at Princeton has been
raised. He says:
"The system here is the very foun-
dation of Princeton life. Every man
is just as much bound to report a case
of cheating which may come to his
notice, to one of the honor committee,
as he is bound not to cheat himself.
The whole thing depends on a man's
holding the -integrity of the system
above his .own personal feelings. It
is this loyalty to the highest interests
of the whole college life, which has to
be-built up."
The honor plan of taking examina-
tions was adopted this winter at the
University of Illinois, but failed to car..
ry by about 150 votes when put to a
popular vote at Syracuse two weeks
ago because of a clause requiring that
"cribbers" be reported. It also failed
to carry at Wisconsin a year or so ago,
the bone, of contention being the "tat-
tling clause."
