Peabody Is Elected Freshman President; Henry Vice-President, Burwell Is Third

In one of the most hard fought and closely contested elections in the history of the Freshman Class, Homer D. Peabody of San Diego, California and Weld Hall was elected President, David D. Henry of Wellesley Hills and Stoughton Hall, Vice-president and E. Langdon Burwell of Buffalo and Straus Hall was named Secretary-Treasurer last night.

The following figures indicate the unprecedented number of votes: Peabody  407 Henry  342 Burwell  320 Marvin  318 Brooks  315 Nickerson  245 Total  649

Of the 681 votes cast, six were thrown out because signature were lacking, while 36 were improperly marked. The contest was so tight between Burwell, Marvin and Brooks that the tellers checked the court four times.

Working from 12 o'clock noon to 11 o'clock in the evening the three tellers were Kendric N. Marshall '21, secretary of the Union, J. Spence Harvin '39, Student Council Member in charge of Freshmen affairs, and Douglas Mercer '40
