The Vote for Overseers.

The Hon. Samuel Hoar and the Hon. Charles F. Adams, 2nd, went before the Committee on Education of the Massachusetts Assembly yesterday to advocate a favorable report on a bill to enable the President and Fellows and the Board of Overseers separately to determine what degrees shall entitle graduates to vote for Overseers. The bill is subject to acceptance by the Overseers, and the president and Fellows respectively. It is a compromise measure, agreed to by those who believe graduates from postgraduate schools, who originally graduated from some other college, should be entitled to vote, and by those who take the opposite ground. Mr. Hoar and Mr. Adams form a committee representing both sides.
