...discipline his private affairs. Harvard is too much a place for individualized learning to favor such practical training in citizenship as the ideal student council is supposed to afford. For students in those colleges which impose strict regulations upon undergraduate life, it is right that they have a loud voice in forming and administering their own codes. But this, we hope, will never be necessary at Harvard, and therefore the Council's function should be to keep one eye on University Hall and the other on the student's interest, with as much independence and as little formality as possible...
