ALUMNI COUNCIL CANDIDATES

This is the first time that the alumni have been called upon to vote for member of the Alumni Council, and it is hoped that a large vote will be cast. The Council, which enters upon its duties July 1 bids fair to be a body of much influence in and for the College, and its members should be chosen with care and consideration.

The purpose of the Council, as set forth in Article II, Section 1, of the constitution is "to give organization and aid for the highest efficiency to all efforts of the alumni of Dartmouth College for the benefit of the College; and more particularly in the following respects:

"To act as a clearing house for alumni sentiment and the interchange of alumni ideas.

"To approve or disapprove projects put forth in the alumni name, and to be the seat of authority in all such matters.

"To act as the official spokesman of alumni sentiment to the administration, and as the avenue of approach by which the administration should have access to the alumni collectively.

"To initiate and carry on such undertakings, or to provide for their being carried on, as are reasonably within the province of alumni activity."

The list of nominees is naturally long this year, for fifteen men are to be chosen, three from each of the five groups of states set forth in the constitution of the Council. "At this election the three nominees from each geographical group receiving the three highest votes shall be declared elected for the terms of three, two, and one years, according to the number of votes received." (Article V, Section 4, of the constitution.)
