THE Senior Class elections will soon take place, and we wish to remind Seniors that a creditable Class Day is the result of an utter disregard of society lines in the elections for class officers. There is no fear now, as there was when '81 was the Freshman class, that Class Day will cease to be a College institution; that danger has passed away; but there is, unhappily, still extant a feeling that every one of the several sections into which each class is divided should have a due representation; even last year there was some dissatisfaction expressed over the "distribution" of the officers. The aim of a class should be to secure the most able men for each position, irrespective of his standing as regards the various societies. Class Day is not Society Day, and if, on account of the careful allotment of so many offices to each society, the exercises should prove uninteresting and the arrangements bungling, not the various societies, but the class, will be held responsible. We do not say this because we believe '81 to be composed of remarkably discordant elements, far from it; but as there probably will be, as there always has been, more or less lobbying, we would urge it strongly upon the members of '81 to vote impartially, and to show that in a college class, if not in the outside world, it is possible to have the best man in the best place.
