...immense amount of intersociety diplomacy, but at least two thirds of the class have had no voice in arranging it. The pledge supporters of the slate generally constitute a majority of those present at the average class election and consequently succeed in putting through the slate although they number but a third of the whole class. Now, while a man might nominally compete for a place for which he was not slated, actually he has no chance for success, because many of his best friends would be pledged against him. Such a candidate would have a better chance under...
...main purposes are embodied in the plan. First it is intended to provide a means of publishing before the election names of all men nominated and supported by a fixed number of signatures. Secondly, it is proposed to vote according to the Australian ballot system, the place of voting being kept open for a number of hours during the day.

There is one drawback. Take-offs on college professors form part of the Lampoon's ordinary stock in trade, are usually harmless, and often true to life. The take-off in the present number is not wholly of this description and might well be suppressed...
...past few weeks a number of candidates for the Yale crew have been rowing daily at the harbor under the coaching of Mr. R. J. Cook '76. This work is not a part of the regular competition, but merely the thorough teaching of the first principles of the stroke to candidates who are able to give their time to daily practice at this season of the year. Football work has up to this time prevented many candidates from presenting themselves, and as yet no freshmen candidates for the university crew have received coaching...
