Last week, for the first time in a quarter of a century, Harvard undergraduates elected a resident of the Radcliffe Quadrangle president of the Undergraduate Council (UC). Some three weeks earlier, this newspaper, too, selected its next leader from the Quadling masses. After decades of neglect, it seems that Quad-dwellers are finally getting their due—positions of leadership atop some of Harvard’s major student organizations.
