This morning we submit to the college a plan for future representation on committees. As the work of the preliminary conference to morrow is to determine on such representation, any good suggestions cannot be amiss : therefore a plan has been prepared by the CRIMSON with much care, and is herewith given to the faculty and delegates for their consideration.

This plan, in the first place, follows out the suggestion made by us last week, that the upper classes should have the greatest number of delegates. This is certainly of great importance, and we hope it will not be overlooked in the meeting. It is the method of representation in the Amherst Senate, the student advisory and governing body, which has, up to this time, attracted most attention in the country on account of its successful working. The second feature of the plan which makes it worthy of consideration is the provision that every class of college men shall be represented on the committee. That each class and each important athletic organization should be represented, no one will question. That the college papers should be represented one ought not to doubt, when he considers that they are the only means of communication between such conferences and the student body, unless, perchance, the conference should go to the expense of printing official bulletins and distributing them to each student. That scholarship should also be well represented is not hard to explain. There are many questions and points involving class standing, scholarships, courses, etc., which would be much better understood and adapted to present needs if a closer intimacy existed between faculty and students. A good example of the propriety of having scholarship represented, is the case of the Princeton ranking system reform, mentioned only a few days ago in these columns, which was accomplished by a happy union of instructors and undergraduates.

The third excellency of the proposed scheme is the provision for special representatives to be called to each conference, men with a large knowledge of the subject to be discussed. In a university as large as Harvard has grown to be, every man cannot be expected to understand thoroughly every question of the day, and the special representation at these conferences is like the employment of specialists at important trials, a feature of modern civilization which has come to play a recognized part in all great law cases.
