The postal vote on the question of the extension of the suffrage to all graduates of five years' standing from any department of the University, may be taken as conclusive evidence that the majority of Harvard's alumni fell convinced that the step is a natural one to take, and one bearing out the liberal policy of the University. Those who have been opposed to the extension are, it is true, very numerous, and have felt strongly that they had good reasons in so doing. They have feared that broadening the suffrage to include graduates of other colleges who have received professional training in our graduate schools, might prove to be a means toward forwarding the interests of those schools at the expense of the academic department. The majority, who have voted in the affirmative, have, beside being assured of the necessity of giving all those receiving degrees from the University a voice in its management, felt that after all the extension is not going to make any important difference in the annual number of votes cast. This seems to be the truth of the matter. Whatever the actual difference from old conditions, it can not prove of importance, and Harvard can not be accused of being narrow minded.
