...importance of the class elections today is a matter which should concern every Sophomore, Junior, and Senior in the University. Last year not one half of the members of either the Sophomore or Junior classes were interested enough to vote at their class elections. May the election returns tonight show that the days of little interest in class affairs have passed, and that every man concerned has done his duty of intrinsic importance--that of casting the ballot...
...Freshman class, falsely intensifying social consciousness, and splitting the class up into the elect and the non-elect. Fortunately a guarantee of democracy, liberalism and tolerance has existed here, the realization by the majority that the clubs at Harvard are purely social and it is therefore of little concern what some clubs do or who belongs to them.

As the CRIMSON pointed out recently, one can now get on probation too easily to cause much concern to the man or to attach much disgrace to the condition. While the man who stands well, or even high in his studies, but who fails the orals is just as much no probation as the man who is guilty of a really serious breach of college discipline, or the man whose standing in his regular work in really a disgrace, probation will...
