THE SENIOR ELECTION.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Over 600 men are eligible to vote in the 1912 election today. The officers chosen are to be its permanent leaders. The class so far has been particularly fortunate in having real unity. In the three years past the officers have had the support and admiration of the entire class, rather than of a mere politically successful clique, and the spirit that has resulted must be counted as one of the strongest factors that will determine 1912's future success.

It is especially important that this unanimity of feeling makes itself felt in the far-reaching election today, and that the officers elected can be able to feel that they are the choice of the whole class and not just a part.

The decisions of the voters as to their choice of each officer should be based upon two considerations: first, what a given man has done during the past three and a half years for the class and the College, and, second, how he is fitted to perform the task allotted to him. If these considerations are properly weighed by each voter, and the number of votes cast is large, the class of 1912 will have left little undone to make an entire success of the most important election in its career.
