TO THE EDITOR, OF THE CRIMSON:- The classes in recently voting to march in the Republican parade, have not followed precedent as they claimed they were doing; for precedent has been to await the result of the Harvard Union canvass and abide by the majority's pleasure. (See CRIMSON, Vol. VI, October, 1884, Nos. 5, 13, and 14). The Union canvass should be held very soon; and, until it is held, I cannot see that the class resolutions ought to be binding on anyone, as they are not speaking for the University at large; nor can I see, if there are (as I believe there are) more Democrats than Republicans in the University, why there should be "no political significance" in the majority going by resolution of the minority, with a procession it has no sympathy with.

Cambridge, Oct. 8th, 1888.
