MUCH criticism has been passed on the manner in which College meetings have been held this autumn, and many of the students are far from approving the spirit which has crept into them. The plan of calling a meeting of the College where the election of officers is supposed to be open, and running through a ticket already prepared, by means of a nominating committee already instructed, cannot be too highly censured.
