Boston University Student Council was organized in 1921 by President Murlin. It is composed of two members from each department of the University. Meetings are held at C. L. A., in the Trustees’ Room, on the first and third Fri- days of each month. The object of such a council is to supervise all-university student activities; to provide an instrument for united action by the student bodies in affairs and enterprises which are of interest to the students of more than one department; to encourage and promote inter-departmental relations and to establish a united University life and spirit. Each year the Secretary has been a girl from C. S. S., Laura LaFond, Kath- ryn Stark and Ruth Ridyard. Some of the things which were censored and approved by the University Student Council are: The Junior Week, the B. U. Show, ‘‘My Juliet”’, Simmons’ Costume Ball, an all-university Debating Society, and the B. U. Song Book. For three years ’24 has been proving that it is an exceptional class, far the ordinary! But even before we entered college, in the fall of above 1920, our fame had preceded us, for at least one-third of our members had already been introduced to the public. In the spring of 1920, The Boston Traveler opened a contest, offering four scholarship prizes at C. S. S. for the best essays on the subject: “‘Why I Desire a College Education.”’ Several girls were honored by the publication of their essays, but those receiving the highest honors were: Margaret M. Maguire, four-year scholarship; Violet E. E. Stewart, two-year scholarship; Carolyn W. Pattillo, one-year scholar- ship, and Clara M. Gauthier, one-year scholarship.
