3 collections related to College students -- North Carolina -- Raleigh

Records of the North Carolina State University Faculty Committee on Student Government range from 1927 to 1958, although records from the 1920s are limited to a Tau Beta Pi council bulletin and a booklet on codes of conduct at North Carolina State College (later North Carolina State University). The bulk of the collection is from the mid 1940s-1950s. Included are some documents sent from the student council to the faculty, student council booklets delineating the rules of student conduct and the punishments for failing to follow said rules. Also included is information on the adoption of the honor system at North Carolina State College and inquiries from other universities interested in the newly adopted policy. William Norwood Hicks, the first head of the NC State College Department of Philosophy and Religion and a student leader during his time at State College figures prominently in this collection. A second box includes portfolios containing information on the evolution and development of the campus government and honor system, as well as drafts of the constitution and by-laws proposed by the organization. Student government began at North Carolina State College in 1921 on October 15th. The student government worked in tandem with elected faculty members as part of the campus government. Later, it seems that a separate student government, including a student body president and governing committees was formed. The Faculty Committee on Student Government appears to be a means of including faculty involvement and input in the governance of the student body by its peers. Many of the records regard the establishment and use of the honor system in relation to student government, a then-innovative plan that seems to have been emulated by other universities. Rules regarding academic honesty and proper student behavior were primary concerns of the student government and had particular relevance for educators at the University. Included in the records are booklets outlining the rules, both proposed and in place, governing the student body, as well as notes on various documents made by faculty members, and documents relating to the student council.
