Our correspondent's suggestions as to a method of selecting a representative student committee are not without merit. If this committee were to be composed, for example, of the presidents of our numerous social, athletic, and literary bodies, it could hardly be said that any phase of student life was neglected in the choice, and the actions of such a body would meet with the approval of the undergraduates. In regard to the last suggestion contained in the communication, we would say that it has always been a matter of surprise to us that the faculty has so completely ignored the existence of the college press. For years past the student papers of Harvard have been the medium through which student opinion has been made public. But apparently the authorities deem it not worth the trouble to give their opinions to the undergraduate world. We earnestly hope that this state of things may not continue in future, for we believe that many misunderstandings which have arisen in the past between students and their instructors might have been easily averted if the faculty had only seen fit to publish a few words of explanation in some of our college journals.
