...these years shows a vote of 58 per cent. for the officers and 44 per cent. for the committees. From any point one cares to view it these are disgracefully low figures. In political elections of the city or nation two-thirds of the total number of voters usually cast a ballot while here, where a class of 620 students is engaged in choosing important officers once and for all, not enough public interest can be aroused to poll a vote of more than 51 per cent...
...matter of elections in the years previous to the last, the figures are also instructive. Each class starts out fairly well with a vote of about 60 per cent. for its Freshman officers. The largest vote cast for any class election was by the present Junior class in their Freshman year when 433 votes were cast. This good record was slightly marred in the Sophomore year when the vote was about 3 per cent. smaller and it was entirely spoiled in the elections this fall when only 232 men voted.

Today the Seniors must complete their choice of men for the final positions of honor and responsibility in the class. In past years the vote cast for the committees has not compared favorably with the preceding election, which itself, we are forced to admit, seldom attracts as large a vote as the class, collectively speaking, would like to see. In some respects the final election is fully as important as the first, for upon its result the success of Class Day and of the future organization of the class largely depends. The situation this year calls for even a more...
