Care in the choice of its leaders should be employed
by the freshman class Monday when members attend a
class meeting to be conducted for the purpose of electing
the officers for the coming year.
Intimate knowledge of all the candidates is impossible
and in some cases may be inadvisable, hut nevertheless,
an institution of learning is supposed to train its students
to he judges of character among other things. If^ a
student is apathetic toward his College studies, he is quite
likely to be sluggish in his fulfilling of his extra-curricular activities.
At a time when the student leaders are endeavoring to
limit the "outside" work in which a freshman may engage it should be particularly apparent to the freshmen
thai their officers mint be as active in scholastic pursuits
as in student activities.
