two groups of undergraduates will

faculty and Board of Overseers. One
group win meet the overseers at a
dinner preliminary to the meetings,
the other, tho most important, will
attend tho sessions on both days. The
latter group will be composed of nine
men representing the most important
activities on the campus.
Students Civ Viewpoint
This is the first time the students
have been asked to speak to the over
seers on "how, from their point of
view, the college in conducted and
how it can be improved. In the past
the overseers have discussed the work
of the college only with the faculty.
The idea of student representation
at the meetings of the governing
board originated with President A.
Lawrence Lowell.
The Student Council report on Ed
ucation, reviewed last week in The
New Student, meets with president
Lovells approval. In a Graduate's
Day address he cited it as rn example
of the fineawork the Harvard product
oi today is capable of.
The University of Michigan Daily
in an editorial declares that the uni
versity is viewing with interest the
suggestion in the Harvard Report
that the college be divided into smal
ler units numbering 250 to 300 stu
dents. "At Michigan," says the Daily,
"proposals of a somewhat similar na
ture are being considered as possibil
ities of the future.
