...election is satisfactory to everybody. Still there may come a time when at some election every graduate will desire to cast his vote. Suppose, for example, that James Freeman Clarke and Colonel Higginson, who are so anxious to introduce co-education into the College, should make this question an issue. In this case most of us, whether we lived near or far, would desire to avail ourselves of our privilege of voting, and some, in all likelihood, who could not make it possible to be in Cambridge...
