Ya1A.a Favored Juniors.

The Society Elections of Skull and Bones
 and Scroll and Key-Few Taken and
 Many Left-WhO the Happy Juniors
 Are.
 About no day in ths college calendar is
 such intense interest concentrated as on the
 day when the two rival senior societies give
 out their annual elections. The whole col
 lege, freshmen included, look forward to that
 day with an eagerness that varies in propor-
 ton to the distance of the day. As the time
 draws around and the latter part of May ap~
 breaches the senior society elections form
 the chief topic of conversation on the campus,
 in the study room, on the fence and on the
 street. Every available mans chances are
 discussed pro and con- lists are made up and
 narrowed down; every indication that the college world thinks will count for anything
 is noted. If junior is seen with senior so- ciety men good deal he is set down as sure. If a man has qualities that are supposed to
 weigh in the scale they are carefully summed
 up and balanced against his drawbacks, such
 as unpopularity, or exceeding freshness, or 1 unfortunate associations. Lists are made up
 and money put up upen them. Meanwhile the seniors who are to settle all these much talked of questions preserve a Sphinx-like l silence. As general thing the Keys lists are made out pretty accurately before election, l because of that society's custom of pledging and having what is termed "packer' in each junior class. It was said on the
 campus yesterday that MT. Doggett per
 formed that service in '85 this year. The
 Bones men are generally picked by popular judgment of their classmates from among
 the hieh-stand, literary and athletic men who
 have distinguished themselves. few pop ular men and one or two men with strong society antecedents are counted among the number.
 A smaller crowd than usual gathered in front of Durfee yesterday about o'clock, waiting anxiously for the appearance of the
 Bones and Keys men. Nearly all the avail able windows in Farnam, Durfee and North colleges were occupied with interested spec tators. Many ladies were seen talk. ing lively interest in the per formance. The first man to face the music was MT. A. P. Wilder. He went about look. ing for some man who was to be taken into his society, Skull and Bones. After edging his way about he walked up to MT. B. N. Hidden and gave him slap on the shoulder. Mr. Tompkins, of the same society, sent the famous runner, Brooks, to his room, and about that time MT. Oakford, of Scroll and Key, made Mr. Anderson happy. Represen- tatives of both societies then came out ln rapid succession and in short time the thirty places were filled. There was less noise and interference on the part of the crowd than usual There were 8 few sur prises. The third senior society did moi give out their elections. There were appaE- entIy no collisions between the two societies. As usual there are 8 number of 'left" men who were thought to have good chances. Skull and Bones has 8 larger quota of ath Ietic men than usual and less hig-hstand l men. The junior ex man, Joy, was taken, as for two years past. by Keys. Doggett and Case, two 'Quip' men, went to that society also. Bones has the best athletes in I the class. The elections are over and the l college breathes easy.
