...another column the CRIMSON prints this morning an expression of opinion from the Federated Clubs and a communication from a member of that organization. The only possible argument for following the advice there given is to obtain a better constitution; and this is utterly improbable, as the present document has been considered and approved by entirely representative undergraduates as well as by President Lowell and Dean Wells.

Our point is that unless the Faculty can be persuaded to grant real authority to the new Council, we had better have no such body at all. For another merely advisory Council must result in a failure as complete as that of the old body...
