...have already been well launched on their careers before coming here and have had valuable experience in the field wrestling with complicated educational problems. The Faculty of that School would be strangely negligent if it did not find ways to hear what students have to say on questions of mutual concern. The roles of students and faculty are different, and responsibility for personnel and programs, fixed firmly in a faculty, cannot be delegated.

Others are less well-defined, depending more on mutual interest than mutual action, such as the informal circle of mathematicians or movie-makers. The groups have undefined boundaries.
