The senior class election passed off with unusual quiet and rapidity. Seemingly there was not a hitch, but, as the evening went on, it became evident that the elections were pre-arranged and that a kind of "machine" was in operation. We wish to protest against this kind of thing in a Harvard class day election; it is not fitting to the dignity of the occasion and moreover does not allow of a free expression of opinion. It is highly improper for a group of men to carry on a systematic canvass, to hold caucusses and make agreements for mutual benefit. A Harvard class day election, of all such occasions, should be a perfectly free expression of class feeling, indicative of the worth and popularity of those elected.
