32 STUDENT ONVINCICD that a general prog,gram as formulated by previous councils was suffi- ciently adequate to meet the p1'csent needs of student life at Bates, the Student Council has made little effort in the direction of any drastic or spectacular revision of the same for this ycaI'. Operating with a minimum of dietatorialncss, and characterized by a complete lack of an ostentatious display on the part of its members, it has quietly, yet efhcicntly, carried through to fulfillment a Well-rounded program of student activity. A realization that records of previous councils were woefully lacking in detail has led the present Council to make every eitort to leave to its suc- cessors an accurate, complete, and' informative report of all activities carried on under its super- vision. Such, reports have been Written by the members directly involved and placed on file for future reference.
