Mr. Warren moved that Mr. Fenno, '64, Mr. Ames, '66, and Mr. Roberts, '71, should be appointed a committee to confer with the Executive Committee, and that they should together decide whether delegates should be sent to represent Harvard at the Convention that meets in New York, January 4, or whether an announcement should be sent that Harvard has withdrawn. This motion was unanimously carried, and the meeting adjourned...

In judging the elections we suspect that some, who are dissatisfied, have not wholly freed themselves from the old notions, and, while desiring an open election, have forgotten its very essence. And here it is very properly claimed by the friends of the new system that it succeeds if it selects able and fit men for the places irrespective of the "element" they may belong to.
