The Dean of the Medical School has done an admirable thing in asking the members of the different classes to appoint certain students from their number to confer with him upon subjects that are closely connected with the student interests in the school. Something of the same sort was attempted in the College last spring, when the College Conferences were started, but the plan unfortunately was abandondoned almost immediately, and before any good could have resulted. We felt at the time that these conferences would have been an excellent thing for the College and regretted that they had to be given up.

The example of the Medical School should now be followed in the College. If a committee of students were appointed to represent the undergraduate opinion to the Administrative Board upon questions that might arlse closely connected with the interests of the undergraduates, it would do more than anything else could to establish sympathetic relations between the students and officers of instruction and government in the University. Such a committee would be of service for example in the discussion of the proctor system in examinations and kindred subjects, where now a canvass of individual student opinion is necessary.
