Thirty-six Seniors were nominated by the Senior Nominating Committee to run for the three Marshalships, and the positions of Class Treasurer, Orator, Chorister, Poet, and Odist, in the first Senior election, it was announced last night.

This first election will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, March 1 and 2, and polling places will be located in the Yard classrooms, the House dining halls and Dudley Hall.

Candidates may be added to the list published today by a petition signed by 25 members of the Senior Class. Such petitions should be handed in to Dunster K-22 before 5 o'clock on Thursday, February 24th. Any additional nominations that may be made by petition will be listed in the CRIMSON on Friday morning.

The following Monday, February 28, an "election insert" will be published by the CRIMSON giving pictures and biographies of the nominees, and this insert will be posted at each polling place.

Nathaniel G. Benchley heads the Committee of Seniors making the nominations, and the other members of the committee are J. Sinclair Armstrong, Lyman B. Burbank, Joseph Franklin, Elliott B. Knowlton, George F. Lowman, and Robert T. Whitman.

At the Second Senior Election, to be held on March 15 and 16, the Secretary, Class Day Committee and Permanent Class Committee are elected. The Ivy Orator will be selected by the three Marshals and the Class Day Committee.

The class constitution will also be up for ratification at the first election. It reads:

ARTICLE I

"The officers of the Harvard class of 1938, after commencement, shall be a Secretary and a Treasurer. There shall also be a class committee of eight members including the Secretary and the Treasurer ex officio.

ARTICLE II

"The duties of the Secretary and the Treasurer shall be those customarily performed by such officers and such other duties as may be assigned to them by the class committee. They shall be regular members of the class committee with full voting power.

ARTICLE III

"The class committee shall have powers and duties as follows: to determine as to the reunions of the class and the conduct thereof, to appoint subcommittees from their own number or from other members of the class: to fill all vacancies in the offices of Secretary and Treasurer and in their own elective positions; to remove any class officers or any of their own members; to conduct all elections to fill vacancies in their own number and determine within the limits herein prescribed the procedure for conducting such elections; to fix rules for the conduct of their own meetings and determine the number necessary for a quorum thereat; in all other matters concerning the class and its affairs not specifically mentioned herein, to determine what action shall be taken and to act on behalf of the class.

ARTICLE IV

"The offices of Secretary and Treasurer shall be respectively filled by the secretary and treasurer elected at the regular Senior class elections. The Secretary and Treasurer shall if possible be residents of Boston or vicinity.

ARTICLE V

"The class committee shall consist of two ex-officio members, namely the Secretary and the Treasurer, and six elected members. The chairman of the committee shall be chosen by the committee immediately after their election and thereafter immediately after each reunion beginning with the triennial.

ARTICLE VI

"The six elected members of the class committee shall be chosen by ballot by the class during the Senior year at an election conducted under the auspices of the Student Council. Any members of the class (except an ex-officio member of the class committee) shall be eligible for election to the class committee. Of the six members to be elected, the three having the largest number of votes shall serve until after the sexennial reunion, and the three remaining shall serve until after the triennial reunion.

ARTICLE VII

"Immediately after the triennial reunion three members shall be elected to the class committee to fill the vacancies in the elective members. The retiring members shall serve as a committee to nominate six candidates for election to the three vacancies. A list of the six candidates shall be mailed to all members of the class with a notification of a reasonable time for additional nominations. Additional nominations may be made within such time by petition addressed to the secretary and signed by at least three per cent of the then living members of the class. From all the candidates nominated in these manners, three members shall be elected to the class committee by postal ballot of the entire class. The members so elected shall serve until the decennial reunion.

ARTICLE VIII

"Similar procedure shall be followed immediately after the sexennial reunion. The three members then elected to the class committee shall serve until after the fifteenth anniversary reunion. The members thus chosen at the elections held after the decennial and subsequent anniversary reunions shall hold office for terms of ten years.

ARTICLE IX

"No member of the class committee shall be eligible for reelection at the election immediately following the expiration of his term of office. Members appointed to fill vacancies in the class committee shall hold office for the term for which their predecessors were elected and shall be ineligible for immediate election at the expiration of such term.
