"As the two present Graduate Secretaries of the Union are not to be in Cambridge next year, the Governing Board and the Student Committee wish to have submitted to them the names of all men who desire to fill this position. All men who wish to be considered are requested to send in to the present Graduate Secretaries their names, and information concerning the work they expect to do, and the time they expect to have available next year. Although this position requires a substantial amount of time, it carries with it an adequate compensation. Any student in the University except those who are now in the Freshman or Sophomore class are eligible to apply."
