...ideal system, my inquiries seem to indicate is one of complete editorial control by students, with strict accountability for the exercise of that control both as members of the college community and as citizens. Only in this way in my opinion, will student editors be enabled to develop genuine standards of editorial judgement, discrimination and taste. As long as standards are imposed by faculty or adminis- trative flat they are bound to be educationally and psychologically unsound and to be accepted by students grudgingly...
...advantages of a system under which frank, friendly, and intimate conference between student boards and university officials is substituted for arbitrary and autocratic control, so far outweigh the disadvantages due to the inevitable and sometimes serious mistakes that editors will make, that I am convinced we ought to take the chance courageously for the sake of the great good.

The outstanding limitation of the present system of Faculty Advisors is their distance from the lives and needs of the average Freshman. They discharge their function of maping out study plans at the beginning of the year with admirable ability, but thereafter the relation, if any, between student and advisor is usually an artificial one. A more natural relation inevitably exists between the student and his course instructors...
