The first class to consider the new constitution of the Student Council will be the Junior class at its election today. Below is printed the amended form of the constitution. The ratification of this plan remains for the respective classes and will be done at the class elections when the voting for members will also take place. The Senior class will consider the matter at its meeting tomorrow.

Constitution of Student Council.
The purpose of this Council is thoroughly to co-operate with the Faculty in raising the general intellectual standard at Harvard, as stated in the undergraduate petition to the Faculty dated April 29, 1908, to bring before the governing bodies of the University expression of undergraduate opinion on subjects pertaining to the University, and to co-operate with the Athletic Committee in eradicating any evils in the conduct of athletics. The attainment of this purpose is to be effected in part by direct jurisdiction over individual students, and in part by creating the general sentiment that it is a question of individual and college honor to maintain a strict attention to scholastic duties.
A. Membership.
I. The Council is to be composed as follows: (1) The four class presidents, (2) the captains of the four major teams, (3) the chief executive officer of each of the following papers: the Advocate, the CRIMSON, the Illustrated Magazine, the Lampoon, and the Monthly Magazine, (4) the vice-president of the Union, (5) three representatives from the Phi Beta Kappa elected by its member (6) twenty-four members from the College at large elected by their respective classes as follows: 9 Seniors, 7 Juniors, 5 Sophomores, 3 Freshmen (to be elected at the time of the election of class officers, except in the case of the Senior class).
II. Those men having membership in the Council by virtue of undergraduate office shall retain their membership until the end of the academic year in which the qualifying office was held. The mem- bers elected from the College at large shall retain their membership until their successors are elected. No undergraduate who is not in good standing at the College Office shall be eligible for membership. No member of the Council who fails to maintain good standing shall continue as a member of the Council. The Student Council shall appoint members to fill any vacancies that may occur. This constitution may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the entire Council after three weeks notice of such change has been given to the undergraduates.
