Abstract: From the 1920s through the 1950s-a period we term "the Era of the Student Bureaucracy"-students in governance positions, newspapers, and other leadership roles greatly impacted the direction of higher education. During the Era of the Student Bureaucracy, students realized they possessed educational values that were in conflict with the faculty and administration. Student bureaucrats used their organizations to protect their educational interests and advocate for curricular and teaching reforms in the face of higher education's reorientation towards research. The role the Harvard Student Council played in the creation of the Harvard Redbook serves as an exemplar of this national movement towards student bureaucratization, and suggests students made greater inroads in affecting institutional policy than has been previously considered in the historiography.
