The March Of the Little Feet.

Away to the fife and drum.

Unto my heart they come.
The wales of winter are white with snow
and the winds are blowing frore,
But ever the feet of the marching clans
are music upon the floor.
Out of the night with a dream still
there
They come TO the tunes Of JOY.
And earth and sea and the sky and air
Are filled with the girl and boy.
Down to our struggle and grief and toll,
down to our pain and strife:
Ho. for the marching of little feet heal
ing the hurt of life.
Marching our sorrow and care away.
Down to our hearts they swing,
Beautiful 1egions of love and light
Wherever their sweet lips sing.
The greed and the gloom and the hate
and Woe are a far-om thing when
Come marching down on the childhood
feet to the tune of the hearts OF
play.
Lifting the dark like star the night.
Waking the world to song,
Ho. for the feet OF the marching ones
Keeping us sweet and strong.

REVIVE STUDENT COUNCIL.
Plan is to Include Majority Of the
Harvard Activities.

In order to revive the student council
Mt Harvard plan has been proposed to
remedy faults in the old council OF con-
siderable size, including as many as pos
sible of the various college activities.
1t was necessary, however, to have a
small body to direct the work of the
council and to act for the council as q
whole Mt times. This has been accom-
plishcd by an executive committee of
seven. This body will be directly Access
sible TO the officers of the university.
The purpose of this council is to CO.
operate with the faculty in raising the
general intellectual standard at Harvard.
to bring before the governing bodies of
the university expression of undergrad
uate opinion on subjects pertaining to the
university and to cooperate with the
athletic committee in eradicating any
evils in the conduct of athletics. The at
tainmcnt of these objects is to be effect
ed in part by direct jurisdiction over in
dividual students and in part by creating
the general sentiment that it is Il ques-
ton of individual or college honor to
maintain strict attention to scholastic
duties.
The council is TO be composed as fol-
lows: The four class presidents, the
captains of the four major teams, the
chief executive officers Of the Advocate.

Laid hold of then by the scruff of the

at the disproportionate crash of his soft
footed landing, and almost demoralized
by the result of his first step upon the
uneasy black and white flooring upon
which he found himself. However, he
did not jump down. instead he paused.
