PRESIDENT ELIOT RE-ELECTED

President Eliot was re-elected president of the National Civil Service Reform League at the league's meeting in Milwaukee on Saturday. Among other officers elected were R. W. Belcher '06, secretary, and G. T. Keyes '89, assistant secretary. The league again urged the passage of the pending bill for the improvement of the foreign service, and went on record as opposed to all preferences of individuals or of special classes in making government appointments. It also expressed confidence in President-elect Wilson to support the merit principle.
