On the assumpt ion tliat it Is general ly •sirable to g i v e mure attention to force ' character and phys ical vigour, what odiflcations need to be made in Uni -trslty organisat ion? The first and principal obstacle to be et with in a n y re-organisat ion la a n Mmomic one. For all but the cleverest udents. the present courses are fu l ly ken up in lectures, e ssays , laboratory »rk a n d preparation for examinat ions , i s impossible to lengthen them with-
it perfect meshing with the profes-ons, business and industry to which e y lead. Greater co-operation is being iught in this direction officially by the ppointments Board. Individually m e m -«n» of the staff and public, a s well a s
graduates holding responsible Mfitions. are doing their best in the
direction. This l inking up of the niversity with the c o m m u n i t y it
j * r v e s should g o on with ever greater leleration. until every undergraduate
a y feel sure of a job whereby he m a y »rn his l iving and. at the s a m e t ime,
orth an adequate salary from the Winning. I'ntil this happy consum-lation c o m e s about. It is not fa ir to ngthen the courses .
If the courses cannot tie lengthened better apportionment of t ime in he
resent courses should be attempted. T o able greater attention to be paid to e second and third qualif ications of
f . Rhodes, greater efficiency is needed using the t ime now available, and.
addition. less t ime will have to be de-*ed to the actual impart ing of infor-ation in lectures and classes.
Whi le the contact between teachers kd taught should be largely increased, . i s surely possible to reduce the t ime W set apart for formal lectures in »ny subjects. More use m a y oonceiv-y be made of the s y s t e m of i ssuing, the beginning of a term, t h e subject-
atter of all the lectures to be g iven ring the term. A reduced number of •ture periods m a y then he g iven , of a torial nature, t o explain difficulties, swer quest ions and to „ ive that price-
personal touch between teacher and udent. Kach student, of course, must
subjected to some form of compol -•n in t h e matter of s tudy ing the por-•n of the work set down for each day.
University administration i.iay Ing it fit to provide lecturers wi th
ass i s tance of s tenographers and 'aughtsmen for tine whole year to
ilitate the change from the sitoken ture t o the written word. Most lec-rers m a y then lie able to reduce their mber of lectures by one half and s tu-nts should be impressed that a n s w e r s
examinat ion quest ions must be in ir own words for pur|Kises of secur-

The Rights and Duties of Self-Government.
T h e exercise of the franchise in a democrat ic community is as much a public d u t y as a private right o f citizenship. W h i l s t the generalisation that a people get* the Government it deserves m a y be too sweeping, it contains at least a modicum of truth. W h e n the e lectorate has c e a s e d to c a r e w h o m it appoints to speak for it, it can scarcely compla in if the po l icy of its de legate does not conform to establ ished principles o f representation.
S o , with its fate in the ba lance , "Horn S o i t " again emerges from the darkness into which its editorial committee retired when lack o f advertising support m a d e it impossible to carry o n what they still consider to b e an import-ant funct ion within the Univers i ty of S y d n e y . It publishes with but one purpose, n a m e l y to impress upon the Student B o d y of the Univers i ty , if it is not d u l y impressed a lready , the vital necessity of attending the general m e e t s * ca l l ed for to-morrow, and of expressing at that meeting their considered opinion of the n e w constitution, a resume of which is published in this issue, and which has been arrived at after mature consideration b y the of the four main associations o f which it is proposed to form the Students ' Representat ive Counci l . W e w o u l d point out that it is in draf t form only , and subject^ to whatever modif icat ion the majority deems desirable . A l l
Horn Soi t attempts, by this issue, is to induce the waverers to attend, and to vote. M o s t students, w e f e d sure, need no pressing.
It has been fairly generally agreed that some re-organisation of the student b o d y is necessary . It is not o n l y needed to prevent a recurrence of the last Fest ival fcasco. It vital ly affects the we l fare of every student even the future of the A l m a Mater . U n d e r existing conditions, w e must fa i l to realise our possibilities. Let us establish a constitutional framework w h i c h net only ensures adequate sa feguards , but also enables us to make s teady advance along the road of real progress.
Evolut ion , rather than revolution, assisted at the birth of the constitution n o w submitted. It does not seek to break up the present order, but rather attempts to knit existing institutions together, and to remove a number of in iotH anomal ies w h i c h form a rather formidable barrier to unity. T h a t unity is strength is perhaps a trite expression, but that d o e s not prevent it from attaining the status of truth. If unity can be reached through the proposed constitution — a n d it behoves us to give it a fair t r i a l — t h e n it wi l l have been of nnmense value.
T h e objects of the Students Representat ive Counci l are not n e w . E v e r y society w h i c h n o w exists within the Univers i ty has more or less the same aims. B u t . by combining the efforts of all organisations, it should be in a m u c h better position to realise those aims.
Representat ion has been arrived at on a fair and equitable basis, a n d . w e think, adequate ly sa feguards the interests of the smaller bodies . F o l l o w i n g general ly the lines of organisation in m a n y of the larger Universit ies of the U n i t e d States, its principles are ult imately democratic . It protects the interests of every student, gratfciate. undergraduate and diploma. W h i l e not perfect , it provides a foundat ion on which m a y be built, in years to come , a solid and enduring form of government.
i K * * ° h w , u t l o n I n recommending the constitution to the electors. A n d , let us beg of a l l , d o not let sectional interests and jealousies ( i f Ihey exis t ) destroy all the g o o d work which h a . been done in the last f e w months.

Wearing: the Gown T h e black gown has for
been the symbol of equal i ty s s d frater-nity a m o n g students in all ports e l the world. O n s o m e occas ions the g o w n is o f t e n the one outward indication that a person be longs to t h e University. Statute No. 12 provides that "at all lectures , examinat ions and public ceremonia l s of the Univers i ty undergraduates must appear in acade-mic dress. Provided that the Profes-sional Board shall have p o w e r t o e x e m p t students attending certain c lasses from wear ing academic dress at these c lasses where such a c o u r s e i s deemed e s p e d i e n t . " T h e Gui ld Counc i l sets the example by insisting o n the wear ing of g o w n s at its meetings.
Students are asked to wear their gowns and wear them proudly , a n d n o t skulk into lectures academica l ly naked.
