Perhaps it is naive to think that the temptation to embezzle would cease if treasury records were audited more often. As long as wealthy organizations exist, the lure of siphoning off money may still prove to be great for a few people. More administrative control is probably not desirable either, since most likely the financially secure clubs would simply declare independence from the University so they would not be subject to oversight. Further, the sheer number of grants given out by the Undergraduate Council to organizations each semester shows that club finances are often unstable from year to year...

And subatomic physics may suddenly become a lot more interesting than even its practitioners suspected...

...looks bad no matter what school one gets it from. Obviously, competition would increase, and this is not usually an environment conducive to learning for the sheer value of learning--the university's highest function. Also, Harvard is not similar to high school, in which many disparate ability levels exist; here, all students fall within a very narrow band of ability--exceptional ability--and what is to differentiate one from another? Further, Harvard students deserve some kind of reward (a good grade) for their work, for however "average" it may be for Harvard, it certainly is not "average" for society...
