...Council Report published two months ago. It can only be hoped that such tardy action does not indicate rejection of the stop-gap measures which have been advocated. The two major suggestions of the Report--the compulsory admission of Juniors and Seniors to Houses and the Associate Member Plan--seem to be the only practical immediate solutions to the House problem at Harvard. And, as such, they should be accepted by the House Masters...
...would seem incredible or unique to the outsider, for it is a huge pep meeting without any reason for being. The boys just get together--in the words of the founder back in 1895--to experience the "rebirth of the College spirit," or to "pledge their loyalty to the College."

This eliminates one cardinal objection: that officers were elected as meaningless figure-heads. It still falls before the greater objection that men are necessarily chosen on the basis of a distored, perverted set of values. Perhaps the millenium will arrive when Freshmen awake from their indifference, when they desire democracy earnestly enough to instil a genuine...
