THE DUTY OF THE AVERAGE MAN.

It is too often the case that a member of a college class feels his responsibility in proportion to the spectacular quality of the task he has to do and not in proportion to its intrinsic importance. There is far less of the spectacular in casting a ballot at a class election than in acting as class marshal or president or orator. But the importance of the two performances are not in the same ratio. With this in mind and knowing that the success of the present preferential system of voting depends on every man in the class voting and voting thoroughly in all the degrees of preference for all the officers, it is hoped that every member of 1915 and 1916 will do his duty at the polls today.
