Excerpt from The Vassarion, 1917, Vol. 29 No private motors or maids are permitted at Vassar. NO select num ber, moreover, can retreat to a luxurious club. There are no sororities, sec ret societies or their equivalent. Nor is their lack felt. The only social club house is one for the employees of the college. The students cooperate enthusiastically in its support and in the entertainment of I the maids there. For their. Own use the whole undergraduate body has recently been given a Student's Building with a large auditorium and committee rooms. Democracy signifies the sharing of responsibility as well as of privilege. Self government thru the Students Association, the policy of non-professional coaching in all athletics, dramatics, debating, and publications, and the committee system so widely in use, develop a high degree of initiative and accountability in the students. And the duties cannot all devolve upon a few, because Vassar enforces a point system, rating each non-academic activity and allow mg no one girl to carry more than 10 points.
