A Graduate Manager
Believing that the interests of the
college would best be served by cen
tralizing power land responsibility, and
desiring t<> put the student enterprises
on a more of a business basis, the Ex
ecutive Committee, at a recent meet
ing, recommended the adoption of the
graduate manager systm.
Thus is revived a much mooted ques
tion, which has repeatedly served as
the incentive for debates which were
generally more acrimonious and falla
cious than impersonal and logical. It
is a broad question, and much may be
said on either side. It should be de
bated thoroughly, because, with it, ’s
involved a question of the college’s fu
ture welfare. It will probably be con
ceded by all, that something must be
done to remedy our growing yearly
deficits; that the graduate manager sys
tem is successful at several large North
west colleges; and also that the ten
dency everywhere, whether in business
world or in government, is toward cen
tralization of power and fixed responsi
bility. Discussion (here, however, is
both futile and ill tinted, for if the grad
uate manager question is thrown into
the arena of popular discussion, all the
phases and arguments will he considered
and Villard Mall will resound, till the
windows rattle, with the thunder of our
college statesmen. This time, above all,
let us make a desperate effort to avoid
narrow personal Idas, and whichever
way it is settled, let it he with the sin
gle aim of the ultimate good of the
l'ni\ visit \
I "in Burke's amendment proposing
ofiieia "O's lor the basketball team
is a meritorious measure, and should lie
inenrporateii into th Student Bod\ con
stitution 1 lie measure is conservative
ly 1 ranted, and there is little in it to
antagonize even the most zealous dev
otee of the great \mcriean college game.
It should pass, because it means simple
recognition of vvlrit the basketball team
i- doing to bring glorj to the Varsity.
