HIGH COURT
<*4
IMre has been talk on the cam-
pos for some time, of the need of
■Mm discipline. This talk culmi
nated in the High Court which was
called last Friday night by the chair-
man of the committee on hazing.
This court as conducted; ended in
arfMable failure and left an un
pleasant savor in the minds of every
one, especially the new men.
We think that it is the consensus
ff opinion, of both old and new men
that there should * be someone who
has the authority to keep order in
the halls. Loud talking and noise in
the dormitories during the time when
most of the fellows are studying
should be" prohibited. There are cer
tain other things which have come
damn by custom and tradition as to
what is proper in the relations of
i r , v the new men to the old. These cus-
tsau to a large extent, seem to be
for the best interest of all concern
eg. It puts more spirit on the cam
par; each class has more feeling of
group consciousness; and finally R is
