T h i s issue h a s been brought to t h e front by M y s kania d u e to current criticism of t h e 27-year-old traditional body, similar to t h a t which lias circulated s u b versively in past years. T h e final decision will demonstrate t h e will of the student body, a n d its ability to control every agent of s t u d e n t government. Myskania, originated in 1917, was the result of a plan for s t u d e n t gove r n m e n t engendered by a faculty committee headed by Dr. H a r r y W. Hastings, Professor of English, This first Myskania, t h e nucleus of our present form of student government, drew up t h e constitution of t h e S t u dent Association. I t continued as a group selected partly by the faculty until 1925, when t h e so-called " G r e a t Revolt" took place. At this time, Myskania became entirely a self-perpetuating society, a n d t h e S t u d e n t Council was formed. W h a t Is Myskania? Myskania is a n honorary body composed of from eight to thirteen Seniors, tapped traditionally in t h e spring of their J u n i o r year, a n d chosen for their qualities of leadership a n d the record of accomplishment they have attained t h r o u g h out three u n d e r g r a d u a t e years.
