On Commencement morning the election for Overseers will take place at Cambridge. The committee on nominations recently sent to all Alumni a list of names from which to choose twelve to constitute what may be termed the regular ticket. As the voting is by the Australian system a reasonable number of men can add nominations to the list given below. From these nominations six men will be chosen to fill the vacancies:
Class of 1860, George E. Adams; 1836, Henry Lee; 1860, Stephen M. Weld; 1850, James C. Carter; 1869, Henry W. Putnam; 1866, Moorfield Storey; 1864, Edwin P. Seaver; 1860, John T. Morse, Jr.; 1871, Nathaniel Thayer; 1863, Francis L. Higginson; 1881, George A. Gordon; 1855, Edwin H. Abbott.
