The Union is certainly open to criticism for withholding the results of the canvass for presidential candidates. The college at large has been waiting since Saturday for the returns, and will, we are told, be forced in the end to wait until the Thursday meeting of the Union before it shall be satisfied in a matter of keen interest to all its members. And yet no reason is assigned for this delay except the desire of the Union to draw a large number of men Thursday. The motive surely is an insufficient one, not to say selfish, and shows a lack of college spirit. To be sure, the Union conducted the canvass to a certain degree upon its own account; yet it has committed a breach of courtesy in keeping the college so long in suspense. Even if it purposes, also, to open the canvass again, there seems to be little reason why, considering the interest, the results already obtained should not have been announced. The CRIMSON certainly bears the Union no ill-will. On the other hand, we hope for it a most successful year; and yet we cannot refrain from this one word of criticism upon a worthy society.
