...members of the present Senior Class certainly have not forgotten the stormy class elections of '74, when the system of elections by societies was in the full glory of its ineffectiveness. The Class of '75 followed with its plan of allotment of officers to the different society and non-society elements, while approximating to an open election in the actual ballot for officers. I think it may be safely said that '75 made the most of this scheme of election, and by making the committee on allotment of offices individually representative of a fixed numerical constituency, it secured itself...
...Pudding, and that of Orator to be filled by the Pi Eta. In each society there is an insignificant minority advancing a second candidate, but these minorities work for their candidates, and in the general election both minority nominees are elected by the votes of the rival society and non-society men. Such a case is not only possible but probable; mutual disappointment to the societies must result often from its use, and the election of men whom their own fellow-members in society consider inferior candidates certainly will not result in our being represented by our best men.

...been made about the Gymnasium, and it seems to us that they are justifiable now more than ever. Since the Rifle Corps has been organized there have been three or four drills per week. The Corps completely fills the Gymnasium, not excepting the bowling-alley, and so hinders the non-drillers from exercising. Our winters, during which the Corps must drill under cover, are so long that they take up the greater part of the college year, so that with little room, and a ventilation that keeps many away altogether, the need of a new gymnasium is very urgent...
