Historical Note

The Student Council, 1875-1880, was a precursor to the Students' Association (UA 12.1.4). The purpose of the Student Council was to maintain order in the residence halls. The council was established by the faculty as a way for the students to govern themselves. The faculty played an active role on the council by approving the meeting minutes and the officers.
