...CRIMSON suggests that the Phi Beta Kappa should elect men on the basis of good work done in their Freshman years, on the ground that in succeeding years they might find order activities more absorbing, and thus fail to qualify for election under the present system. To some people it might almost seem that the present system is for this very reason better, since it requires a man to show that during two or more years he has the ability and the energy to do work of a high order.

Toward the middle of each year, the College office prepares a list of the highest twelve men in the Junior class, and the highest forty-four men (exclusive of those already elected) in the Senior class. From these lists the eight men elected in the previous year, known as the "Junior Eight," proceed to elect twenty-two Seniors and eight Juniors, and their choice, subject to the approval of a committee of graduates, of which President Lowell is at present the chairman, constitutes the election...
