SOUND LOGIC

Granting the President's logic to be sound, a premise with which a fair portion of the student body concurs, that disorderly parties must be outlawed, some more feasible method—not of enforcing, but of encouraging obedience—must be adopted. Thereupon the principle (at least) of setting a thief to catch another suggests itself as applicable to the situation at hand.

Carnival is a student affair and at first blush it seems equally clear that orderenforcement at Carnival should be a matter for students. And at second blush it seems that sundry members of Green Key and Palaeopitus, those ever-vigilant guardians of undergraduate welfare, might possibly take the place of the rustic coppers. Various delegates from each fraternity might serve equally well, should the abovenamed gentlemen find themselves suddenly encumbered with Carnival dates.

We hold to the principle, you see, that men of Dartmouth are largely men of honor, who—while not particularly averse to evading officials—would be willing to play the game with fellow-students. Most observers of the present undergraduate body will agree that the odds are more in favor of obedience to the spirit, than to the letter, of the law on the part of men long and lovingly characterized as "independent," among other things.
