According to the constitutional provisions of the Alumni Association the responsibility for nominating alumni trustees rests with the Alumni Council. Provision is made, however, for further nominations by the alumni at large. The section of the constitution dealing with this feature is quoted herewith:

"Said secretary shall also give notice, not less than four months before Commencement, and by publication in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, that the Council will nominate alumni trustee or trustees to take office on the first Monday after Commencement.

"Within two months after such publication in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE any one hundred alumni qualified to vote for the Council of Alumni may file with the said secretary a petition over their own signatures for the nomination of a qualified alumnus for the office of alumni trustee. Said secretary shall, as soon as practicable after expiry of the period for nomination by petition, send to each alumnae qualified to vote an official ballot containing the name of the alumnus nominated by the Council for the office of trustee and the name or names of candidates nominated by petition, as aforesaid. No voting by proxy shall be allowed in voting for alumni trustees, and the polls shall close on June 10 before Commencement.

"If no candidates are nominated by petition as above set forth, no voting for trustees shall take place, and the alumnus nominated by the Council shall be the candidate of the alumni for the office of trustee."

According to this constitutional provision further nominations by petition may be made until March, 1930. All papers should be sent to Sidney C. Hay ward, Secretary of the Al- umni Association, Hanover, New Hampshire.
