Student Representative on College Council

Student Representative on College Council

Dear "Smad,"—

A few suggestions concering student representation on the Council:

1.—A one-year term of office would secure more even representation than a two-year term. It would enable the most suitable representative of all to be appointed, namely, the Students' Association President in office or else his immediate predecessor.
2.—The fixing of an age-limit (say 25 or under) would ensure a representative of the normal student type and reasonably free from outside interests.
3.—If the representative is required to be a graduate (which would not be an unreasonable requirement), he could be limited to two years' standing; otherwise students might return to College merely in order to get on the Council. Too many precautions cannot be taken to keep out the place-seeker and the self-advertiser.
4.—It would not be unfair to restrict the voting to undergraduates.

I am, etc.,

Disinterested.
