Contracts to the Extent of $51,983 Given to I~owest Bidders for Work on New Buildings Contracts to the amount of $51,983 were awarde d by the board of directors of th is institution last Monday afternoon. The Lincoln & Lane Company ol Pawtucket was awarded the contract for the heating and ventilating the new auditorium, library and g-ymnasium, for all of which ground has already been broken. H enry J. Lyons, of South Boston, was awarded the plumbing contract for the same buil~ings. The E .. S. Hodge Company of Peace Dale, w1th which Sumner Mowry is connected, quoted a contract of $6,721, $805 less than the Lyons bid , but because the Hodge concern failed to use the required form, and failed to sign the bid or to enclose the required certified check, it was not awarded the work. 'l'he Chapman and Bannister of '\Vakefield was g iven the electrical work forlts bid of $9,297; the Providence Pipe and Sprinkler Company of Providence was awarded the fire protection work for $3,050 .

But the plan of creating special "Honor --F. B., '28 .
Honor Day
Students" is an experiment which started only last year. The members of the faculty believed, and had enough faith in their belief to put it into actual practice, that those students who showed satisfactory diligence and ability in their studies, would be able to take their college education just as seriously if allowed more freedom in their curriculum work. Thus it came to pass that a certain group of selected students were allowed more initiative, a greater degree of independence, and more laxity in their college actions. Compulsory assembly. attendance was not required of this .privileged class; class attendance, with its system of "cuts" was a thing of the past, for honor students could go to their classes whenever they wanted to. Furthermore, Seniors in this group could elect whatever subjects they chose; no longer were they hampered by catalog requirements. This, then, was the radical step that the Faculty last year proposed arid put into practice. Now, as we have completed the year, and have come around to another Honor Day, we must look back and ask ourselves, "Have the 'special privilege' students stood the test? Was the faith of the college faculty upheld?" We believe that it was, that this experiment in developing student responsibility has succeeded. It has proved that the students who have earned high scholastic ratings are the students who "come here for a purpose," and will continue to be the leaders, even though placed on their own responsibility. If we examine the list of stu~ dents making honors last year, and compare it with the new group presented at the last assembly exercise, we shall observe a frequent repetition of names. Practically every student who made honors during the past year, has made honors for the coming year. What does this prove? Merely that the honor students did not abuse t he special privileges given them, but, on the contrary, used these privileges to good advantage. The experiment of the faculty was put to the test and found satisfactory. May the students of the new honor group during the coming year continue to uphold the traditions of the past, and once again show the faculty that their faith in them was not misplaced.
FAIR PLAY Watch it, Freshmen! Student Coun cil meeting pretty soon. Is that fair to the upp erclassm en? Such periodic e nforcem ent of rules discourages ·the complaints . vVhat t he student body wants is strict enforcem ent of every t·ule, with an early hearing and just decis io n. But ho w abo ut the Freshm e n? Will they get fair p lay? Have th ey been getting it in past years? Surely honest complaints are much fairer than " hatched" ones, especially to the innocent parties. Do you reme1nber two years ago when a certain student with the football team playing in Providence, was punished for not performing Student Cou ncil duty on the same date ? Affairs of this nature have been all too common. Don't you think the Freshmen should have a fair (emphasis on the fair) hearing ? An investigation comm ittee appoin ted by the Student Counc il, and composed of one man from each of the three upper classes, might be relied upon for the honest defense of Freshman rights. The voice of the Fr eshman is some times sm all indeed , and the support of a more powerful force is sadly lacking at the critical moment during a hear-
ing. Freshme n, you think you have·. friend s in the ranks of the upperclass_ men? \Vait a nd see. The men under the heel are not begging for leniency. We advise just the opposite. \~That the student body as a unit desires f rom · its representatives, invest igation, justice and prosecution. \Vhat the Student Counc il expects of its e lectors are honest complaints for every infringement. May both side s figh t well and play fair!

Two professors a t the University of California have completed a study of the comparative mat_ rim onial advantages of the "dumb" and bright .girls, and their conc lusions show the grades of the marri ed stud ents to be a sbade higher than of the · unmarried. Women Phi Beta Kappas at the University, from 1874 to 1910 ,. were found eve nly divided in the married and single g roups.

vn ·Wednesday of this week we ob · served a national holiday to com=emorate an epoch in the his tory of the world. E.)very school boy knows by heart how Co lumbus stood an egg upon end; but how many know oE the conversation which took place 3.t that time? It seems that shortly after Columbus returned to the con.. tinent, Queen Isabella held a banquet in his honor, to which she invited the high officials of the court, who were very jealous of him. During the course of the evening one of the courtiers asked Columbus, "Don't you think that someone else would ha'ie discovered thir,r new h e misphere if you had not b€en born?" Columbus did not reply but requested the fiat~ terer to cause an egg to stand upon end; a feat which he could not accomplish. We all know how the ma'l from Genoa managed the affair, ancl while doin~ said, "I asked you to do a simple thing but you could not do it until .someone pointed the way.'' Columbus leaves us a simple lesson: The world today looks for leaders and not followers.
