Tonight the Athletic Committee will meet to discuss the general situation in the light of the new petition, and, we hope, to inform us definitely what policy is to be followed in the future. At last the suspense is to be ended and we are to know whether winter sports will continue at Harvard, with the future maintenance of athletics placed in the undergraduates' hands.

The more members of the council, the better the government will be, because more voters will know of its actions. The New England town meeting is the simplest and best form, because of its extreme personal relations. The German cities have perhaps the best municipal government with universal but not equal suffrage.
