To the Editors of the Crimson:

There seems to be something decidedly wrong in the way the undergraduate institutions of the College are run, not internally, but in their external relationship with the student body at large. How much is known to the undergraduates about the mode of obtaining admission to such societies as the Deutscher Verein or the Cercle Francais? How many Freshmen realize that they can be put up for election to the Cercle, for instance, by simply applying to the secretary? They hesitate in making application and consequently remain inactive; and they trust that they may squeeze through somehow, ignorant that a knowledge of French or the passing of French 2a are practically the sole requisites for election. The idea of admission, in this case as in most of the others, is good in itself. The fault lies in the lack of placing it before the undergraduates. Is there no way of advertising these requirements, either in the CRIMSON or in the College Catalogue? As it stands now many men are through ignorance of the proper procedure debarred from societies to which, through mental acquirements or otherwise, they are easily eligible. UNDERGRADUATE.
