THE FRESHMAN ELECTIONS.

Tomorrow the Freshmen will elect their first officers, who will lead the class well into its Sophomore year. The importance of choosing these officers fairly and upon their individual merits is frequently forgotten, and electioneering finds its way into the class affairs. In this election, as in all College elections, divisions of the class based upon preparatory school affiliations or upon any distinctions whatever except those of service to the class should find no place.

Those Freshmen who receive the responsibility of office should spare no effort to meet all of their classmates and in every way in which they are able to promote class feeling and class unity. Without a wide acquaintance they will find it impossible to make the appointments to their various committees just and representative, and unless this is done the committees will fail to be effective in their work.
