If the members of the class of 1916 need any admonition against indifference or thoughtlessness in today's important elections, they will do well to refer to the editorial column of the CRIMSON a year ago. The following quotation is from an editorial which appeared on the day before the 1915 Senior elections:
"Today the Senior Class holds a most important election. The men elected today will represent the class at Commencement and will guide and direct it, as a class, afterward. No other undergraduate election is so far-reaching in its results. . . .
"In voting, two considerations should be kept in mind: first, what a candidate has done in his college career to merit the honor, and second, whether he is fitted to perform the duties of the position he seeks.
"These qualifications should be the basis of the elections today, and every Senior should vote in order that the real preferences of the class may be recorded."
