Despite skepticism and indifference, however, the Student Council continues to exist. Last night the 1928-29 Council rounded out its membership to the requisite fifteen and today will assume its functions for the coming year. What those functions are to be, whether they are going to serve a legitimate and useful purpose in the College, or are to become more shadowy, just as the vote has become more scattered, is the most vital question confronting the newly assembled Council members...
Student Councils are already in grave danger of going out of fashion. If they are to become mere shadows of their original selves, functionless and valueless, they cannot expect long to continue in existence. Nowhere does general interest in a Student Council lag as much as at Harvard nowhere are the dangers of that Council's dying a natural death so great.

If an M.A. is requisite for teachers in, Boston high schools, it is because the administrators...
...been suggested that too much of the team against team spirit would be detrimental to the purpose of Mrs. Putnam's donation, and undoubtedly such a danger does exist. Realizing that such difficulties might arise, Professor Tat-lock in yesterday's CRIMSON said that "this is the first year of the contest, and it is likely enough that methods may be altered another year." A change that would put the awards more definitely within the grasp of the hopeful many would perhaps serve better the cause of scholarship...
