CHANGES IN PALAEOPITUS

Following the suggestions of certain alumni members, the Palaeopitus has made several changes in its constitution, principal among which are the limiting of membership to eleven, and the abolishing of the ex officio membership. Captains and managers of teams who were formerly members by virtue of their office are no longer so, as the new rules provide that election shall be as follows: (a) The junior class shall elect five of its members at large; (b) The Palaeopitus shall thereafter elect six men at large from the junior class, these six to be elected by the retiring body.

It is deemed that in this way a more efficient and more truly representative body can be selected. Other points of the new constitution are that to become a member a man must be a Junior in good standing at the time of his election, and that failing to be in good standing in his senior year he must resign his membership. A plan has also been included of each year holding a general meeting at which the alumni members shall be present in order to formulate the policy for the ensuing year.
