IF it seems best to the Seniors to hold their class election at once, we wish to remind them that the best results can be secured only by forgetting all society lines. It is one unpleasant feature of our college life, that society and class feeling are inevitably opposed to each other. But Harvard is less open to this evil than most colleges, and the class of '80 is less open to it than most classes. Therefore we hope that the little society feeling which does exist will be entirely laid aside during the class election. The idea that each society must be represented among the class officers by any definite number of men is absurd; and if such an idea is carried out in voting, the result will be a bad choice, or an in-harmonious election, - perhaps both. To avoid an unpleasant result, the class should be willing to make almost any sacrifice. It should be a matter of pride with every class to hand down to its successors our old University customs. We recommend to the Seniors the course adopted last year in the machinery of the election, and we wish them as pleasant a Class Day as that which fell to the lot of '79.
