Last night the senior class held a meeting for the election of officers for the ensuing year. No officer of the class was present; the meeting was conducted by a non-official member. Officers were then elected and the meeting adjourned. We are unable to prove from reference to Cushing's Manual either that the meeting was legal or that it was illegal. After this meeting had adjourned, and the class had scattered, a second meeting was held by about six men and a committee was chosen to arrange for the election of Class Day officers to be held in a short time. This meeting and the action taken were obviously ridiculous. In the first place the meeting was illegal; the class met at a specified time, transacted business, whether legally or illegally, and disbanded, and there was no provision for any meeting after that. Moreover, had it been legal, the action would still have been unfair.

Apparently it is not in any way appreciated by the class that this committee on arrangements is the most important committee elected by the class from its freshman year till the election of Class Day officers. Its duties are many and extremely difficult. It chooses the chairman of the meeting for the election of Class Day officers and attends to all the arrangements for this meeting. It draws up rules governing the election, and most important of all, decides what men are eligible to vote. All of these matters are of the utmost importance and the committee should be chosen only after long and earnest consideration. In view of the uncertainty about the legality of the first meeting, and considering the fact that the class has not as yet chosen its committee on arrangements for electing Class Day offices, the best thing to do, it seems to us, is to hold another meeting when the officers can attend and proceed then as if nothing had happened. Every man in the class should know the importance of the meeting and should then do his utmost toward having it proceed in a fair, orderly way. Ninetyfour cannot afford to begin its senior year with a questionable action.
