COMMENCEMENT VOTING WILL BE DONE UNDER NEW SYSTEM

The voting for Overseers and Directors of the Alumni Association on Commencement Day, next Thursday, will be held under new arrangements, the sole object of which is to expedite the casting of the ballots and to obviate delay and congestion. Voting will be in Lower Massachusetts, not in Harvard Hall, as heretofore. There will be separate doorways for entrance and exit, both facing Harvard Hall. Voters will enter by the right-hand doorway as one faces Massachusetts, that is, the doorway nearest the Johnson Gate. Arranged in a semi-circle about the entrance and exit, both facing Harvard Hall, will be six gateways. Voters will be divided alphabetically, according to their surnames, into six groups without regard to class or degree. Each group will be assigned a particular gateway through which alone it can enter. Each gateway will be plainly lettered to indicate which group is to use it. Inspectors at each gateway will check the voters as they pass through, and each inspectors will have an alphabetically arranged list containing only the names of those entitled to enter through that particular gateway.

Ballots both for Overseers and Directors of the Alumni Association will be distributed by the inspector at the time the voter is checked, and will not be left loose upon tables as heretofore. After being checked and receiving his ballot, the voter will mark them at the booths in the body of the hall. The ballot-boxes will be lined up across the exit of the hall, and each voter will deposit his ballots in the most convenient box on his way out of the hall. There will be no checking of voters as the ballots are deposited. The polls will be open from 9.30 to 4 o'clock and the electorate will consist of all who have ever received a degree of any kind from the University.
