...show that 1,118 children were examined at the commission's clinics during the year ending November 20, 1917. Of these 402 had infantile paralysis prior to 1916; 670 during 1916, and 46 during 1917. The cases which are being followed up at the homes by the orthopedic nurses number 645; by the state field workers of the commission, 520 and by the Boston Instructive District Nursing Association for the commission...
...Every voter shall vote for three marshals, indicating his perference for First Marshal. Of the three elected, the candidate receiving the highest number of votes for First Marshal shall be declared First Marshal; of the other two elected, that one whose total vote is higher shall be Second Marshal, and the other one Third Marshal. Every ballot not containing the required number of names for marshals shall be declared invalid...

...those who are left to elect the men best fitted for their work. Though an effort is being made to secure the votes of those who are in active service and away from College through the mail, it will be impossible to reach more than a comparatively small number in this way. It is therefore important not only that every Senior make certain to be at the polls tomorrow, but that he cast his vote after careful, unprejudiced consideration. The standard of 1918 class officers has been exceptionally high in the past. The Senior officers are more important than those...
