Student Representation

Student Representation

Again the District Court of Convocation has proved its worth and another milestone in our eventful history has been passed, for news has been received that a delegate to be appointed by the Executie may now attend at meetings of the College Council. The Council. in the words of the "Evening Post," have "dispalyed sound sense," and we congratulate them.

The value of this right is apparent and we need hardly extol its merits beyond saying that it must necessarily lead to greater harmony between the Council and ourselves, which, of course, in itself is meritorious.

We hope that the day is not far off when a similar privilege or right will be duly granted to our Association by the Professorial Board One vote counts for little—if a vote is granted—and in either case if our contention on an issue is right the Professorial Board would not wish to adopt a view which is wrong. The granting of this privilege would not only make for pleasant harmony, but it would also eliminate injudicious decisions and decisions unfortunately but occasionally made with an insufficient knowledge of facts -after all, delegations are unsatisfactory.

And now may "Smad" take this opportunity, on behalf of those who are now undergraduates and perhaps those who have not yet attained this honour, of thanking those responsible for the acquisition on our behalf of what we consider is a very valuable and indispensable right.
