...senior class election passed off with unusual quiet and rapidity. Seemingly there was not a hitch, but, as the evening went on, it became evident that the elections were pre-arranged and that a kind of "machine" was in operation. We wish to protest against this kind of thing in a Harvard class day election; it is not fitting to the dignity of the occasion and moreover does not allow of a free expression of opinion.

Accordingly a very frank protest was drawn up, numerously signed, and sent to the Board of Directors. The latter appointed a committee, at the head of which was Mr. Darling, to report fully upon possible improvents in the Hall. This report was the first step, and a long one, toward reform. Chefly in consequence of it, Mr. Darling was chosen President at the next election; and last year, having received a written request signed...
