The Conference Committee has done wisely in refusing to undertake the management of the yard. Such a committee of supervision should have the full sanction of all the students in order that the authority which they may exercise shall be undisputed. If the conference committee had accepted the power of supervision granted them by the faculty, they would undoubtedly have been supported in their efforts by the students at large. But we must praise the clear-sightedness of the members, which enabled them to see how much more satisfactory to all concerned, would be a body chosen by the students in a mass-meeting, for the special purpose of yard-regulation.
