THE NO-DEAL AGREEMENT

In accordance with a suggestion of The Dartmouth the three upper classes have adopted a no-deal agreement which binds every member of each class to abstain from soliciting votes either for himself or anyone else in any class election. The idea, in theory, is most lofty, and the adoption of it certainly denotes a desire on the part of many men in College to attempt a Utopian form of government, at least for the period of college years. It is a sign that, beside the ward-politician type of undergraduate, there is an element in College which is interested in clean politics, fair methods, and unbiased voting.

The no-deal agreement agitation is not limited to Dartmouth. Among several of the other colleges, the agreement has been and is being considered.
