In favor of this action were the arguments that elections had been profitably abolished in the Junior and Sophomore classes, that most of the voters did not know for whom they were voting, and that it was an uneconomic waste to end the life of the Union Committee just when it had mastered the mysteries of acting for the best interests of the Freshman class...
