Provision is made, however, for further nominations by 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 alumnus qualified to vote, an official ballot containing the name of the alumnus nominated bv the Council for the office of Trustee and the name or names of candidates nominated by petition, as aforesaid.
