...real social unit of Freshman life is not the class, but the dormitory. After living together under a common roof for five or six months, men have formed a pretty fair estimate of each other. Why not take advantage of this by investing the governing power in a body which will by representative of the dormitories? Let the Student Council, instead of nominating usual class officers, nominate men from each of the three halls for members of a Freshman interdormitory council.

As I have pointed out, it might perfectly easily happen that one person might declare a government was stable which presented many elements of instability to the more trained eye of another. A fair definition of stable would be "founded on a broad and general suffrage by literate and well-informed peoule, in which the principles of freedom of thought, of speech, of worship and of work, and the right to hold and enjoy property are well protected". Stability also requires a sufficient accumulation of wealth...
