...going to vote today? Every man in college should answer this question affirmatively. In accordance with the plan proposed at the last meeting of the Union, a thorough canvass is to be made of the university in order to find out its political feeling. Boxes have been placed at Leavitt and Peirce's and in the auditor's room at Memorial, where ballots will be distributed to all who wish to cast a vote for his choice for the presidency. The committee having the canvass in charge have taken every precaution to guard against ballot stuffing, and there will...
