About this time, in colleges where certain traditions linger, the Freshmen are being received in to fellowship of classes by some such welcoming process as a pole-rush, tug-of-war, or cap-burning. Though lacking those familiar methods, Harvard has a substitute that serves in a somewhat similar capacity. The election today is in its way a formal recognition of the coming-of-age of the Freshman class. It is a reception at which the Class, Personified by its voting, presents itself to the rest of the college, and discloses it tastes and its character. If it goes to the polls en masse, showing a vigorous interest in its affairs, the reception will probably be favorable. If it falters on the threshold of its sixty-percent quota, it will be classified as commonplace or mediocre. But if it shows so much character as to stay away altogether, who knows? perhaps its elders will respect its individuality-and set about finding a substitute for class elections.
