COUNCIL OF FEDERATED CLUBS.

The proposed Council of federated civic and public-speaking clubs is an organization which the CRIMSON can heartily recommend as a step towards the simplification of club engagements, and the creation of a forum for the open discussion of College questions. When twenty Harvard clubs already exist, all of which are interested in civic work or public speaking, it is evident that conflicts and needless reduplication will occur. The proposed Council will co-ordinate club meetings and will establish and maintain a long-needed public forum. Further useful functions will no doubt develop. The CRIMSON welcomes the Council as an excellent beginning.
