Entire Honor Council
Favors Amendments
Here are letters signed by all the members of both the
incoming and outgoing Honor Councils in which they each give
the reasons why they favor passage of the amendments to the
Honor Council Constitution:
Lovett's Birthday
Marked in Exhibit
Rice students will have until Sat-
urday" to see the exhibit on "The
Beginnings of the Rice Institute"
now on display on the- second floor
of the Fondren library.
Set up by Helen Chillman with
assistance from Miss Ann Wheeler,
the exhibit marks the 80th birthday
of Edgar Odell Lovett, first presi-
dent of the Rice Institute.
Everything from old newspaper
clippings to Dr. Lovett's Legion of
Honor medal are featured. Many of
the clippings are |rom the Houston
(Daily) Post of 1912 and vividly
show just how much a college cam-
pus can change in 39 years. The
Legion of Honor (officer grade) was
presented to Dr. Lovett in 1938 by
the French government in recogni-
tion of his services.
Also on display is a. handsome
silver inkstand (presented to Dr.
Lovett by the University Cottage
club by Princeton) and the Associa-
tion of Rice Alumni medal.
A large cabinet size portrait of
Dr. Lovett and parchments from
various universities and college
groups line the back wall.
To the Students:
We, the newly elected mem-
bers of next year's Honor
Council, after a careful con-
sideration of the proposed
changes in the Honor System
Constitution have decided that these
changes are necessary and desirable.
We feel that these changes are es-
sential if we are to fulfill our re-
sponsibilities to the student body
as adequately as we should like to
fulfill them.
We feel that by voting for the
pi'oposed changes you will be giv-
ing Rice a better and more just
Honor System and will be aiding us
in our job of administering the
Honor System.
Sincerely,
The '51-'52 Honor Council

To the Students:
We, the nine members of
this year's Honor Council, have
studied the proposed amend-
ments to the Honor System
Constitution carefully. In the
light of our experience with the hon-
or System, we have become con-
vinced that the proposed changes
are necessary if Rice's Honor Sys-
tem is to function as effectively as
it should.
We believe that these changes
are necessary for the Honor Council
to fulfill adequately its responsibil-
ity to. the students. We feel that the
amendments will strengthen the
present constitution, under which
justice has too often been thwarted.
We, therefore, recommend to every
student that he go to the polls this
morning and vote in favor of the
proposed changes.
Sincerely,
The Honor Council
