We publish the proposed change on the front page of this morning's CRIMSON...
...great obstacle, next to that pressure of engagements which seems to burden all college men, is lack of confidence in one's own abilities. "I've never run a boys' club; I don't think I could do it" is the pathetic, hesitating complaint. And although no one denies that the ability to handle a boys' club is a faculty worth cultivating, the natural fear of facing singlehanded a whole troop of noisy, critical, sarcastically impudent youngsters is not pleasant when viewed from the comfort of an arm-chair.
