THE STUDENT COUNCIL.

By electing to itself a member primarily a scholar, the Student Council has taken one step in the right direction. If this widening of horizon means that the Council intends to broaden the scope of its activity, it may become really useful to the undergraduates. At present, however, so far as the body of the undergraduates knows, it might just as well have gone out of existence. There is no dearth of tasks to which the Student Council might profitably turn its hands, and it is only by embracing these opportunities and by showing some initiative in undergraduate affairs that the Council can maintain in the College the position of influence and usefulness which it should hold.
