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.
