It is to be regretted that the mass meeting called last night by the Council of Federated Clubs--the first representative body to consider the proposed constitution--was compelled to spend so much time to gain a hearing, that it could express no opinion on the constitution itself. Its action is a protest against adoption by snap vote. For of how much force is a ratification at noon of a constitution proposed in the morning? The machinery of the resolution provides opportunity for popular initiative, genuine deliberation and incontestibly valid ratification. A vote against the proposed constitution therefore is nowise a condemnation of a Student Council, but is a step toward acquiring the best possible Student Council. A. S. OLMSTED 2L.
