Last night the Natural History Society held its 789th monthly meeting, in the society rooms in the old Pudding building. Twenty-four new members were taken on, and generally speaking, the prospects of the society seem to be very bright. Its officers for the winter were elected last April and are as follows: President, A. W. Weysse, Gr.; graduate vice-president, T. A. Jaggar, Jr.; undergraduate vice-presidet, J. M. Mackaye '95; treasurer, F. B. White '94; secretary, I. N. Tilden '94; librarian, C. Bullard '96; executive committee, the above ex-officals and F. H. Pratt '96, R. Walcott...

The minute a class begins to have "bosses" and to split itself up into antagonistic factions, each running its own candidates, the fairness and honorableness which ought to exist at college if anywhere ceases to exist and the element of "machine polititics" sweeps everything before it. We cannot afford to have a Tammany ring...
