...fault in the election system is generally considered to lie in the method of making the nominations. At present they are made by the retiring class officers, supplemented by petitions requiring thirty-five signatures.

The fault does not lie in the Elective System itself, but in the necessity of choosing without sufficient information of the object of different courses and the manner in which they are to be treated; and, in the absence of any explanation by the College on this point, it would be well if the students...
