...recent editorial the CRIMSON asked the question: "Why can't the Union have home rule?" By this the CRIMSON means that those most active and interested in the Union should control it. While the men elected at the last election are able men and representative of important University activities, with a few conspicuous exceptions they have not showed themselves particularly interested in the Union. Indeed, this is only natural considering the great amount of their time which is taken up by their other activities...
...trend of recent years at Harvard has with little doubt been towards greater control of undergraduate work on the part of "the Office." Some alumni and friends of the University view with disapproval all changes making towards paternalism, towards a lessening of individual responsibility and freedom. But the tendency of the day is universally towards guidance and help to the average man at the possible expense of the single genius. The "make or break" theory is no longer in fashion. Therefore, all innovations making for a higher general average of undergraduate efficiency and success are to be considered...

By this suggestion the CRIMSON means that those most active and interested in the Union should control it, and not those who hold office largely to swell the size of their "life" in the Senior Album. This consideration should be borne in mind at the Union polls today. What sort of sundries bring the total for "Miscellaneous" expenditures...
...constitution of the Harvard Forum printed on another page provides definitely for the future management and control of a steadily growing student activity. Through the absence of such an agreement between the interests chiefly concerned, much needless trouble and duplication of machinery has arisen. It is to be hoped that the present administrative arrangement will prove best adapted to foster a future rival of the Oxford Union...
