THE Class of Eighty-one has every reason for most hearty congratulation over the result of their class elections. A more orderly and public-spirited meeting would be difficult to find. The lines of society prejudice were utterly disregarded, and to judge from the reports of the tellers, every man voted not for a member of the same petty clique, but for the candidate who really seemed most worthy of the position. Slurs on the harmony of the class are utterly silenced. The large number of elections by acclamation or by a unanimous vote, the ease and speed with which the election was carried on, prove completely the practical unanimity of opinion throughout the class. There was but little canvassing before the election, and the attempts that had been made were, we are happy to say, completely defeated. If it seems that too small a number of offices have fallen to one society, it would be well to remember that a fuller representation was lost simply by the public spirit of its members, and the personal self-sacrifice of one of their number. Of course no one can hope to fill every office with his first choice, but as a whole the class elections must be satisfactory to every Senior, and it can be said of no one of the officers that he was elected simply by the efforts of a petty clique. '81 has set a noble example to the classes yet to come, and we again congratulate the class on the harmony and good feeling of its members, and trust sincerely that it may heartily enjoy the pleasant Class Day which it so richly deserves.
