To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The recent formation of a Student Council, the avowed purpose of which is to co-operate with the Faculty in raising the general intellectual standard at Harvard, seems to create an opportunity for renewing a suggestion which has been made a great many times in the past, but upon which no real action has ever been taken. This suggestion is that the student body should take some action which would show an appreciation of high scholarship resembling that which is shown for conspicuous success in athletics. One plan has been to award to men of high scholarship the privilege of wearing the "H" on their sweaters; but a sweater is not especially fitting for a scholar nor emblematic of scholarship. Some other form of the "H" might be devised which would be more suitable, or, if the "H" is to be held sacred to athletics, some other badge or mark of distinction might be awarded by student legislation. Is not this a matter worthy of the serious, consideration of the Student Council when it comes to discuss plans for carrying out the avowed purpose of its existence? PROFESSOR T.N. CARVER.
