In accordance with Old Crowd
tradition, William Eaton. a
member since 1920, was almost
certain to succeed Daily. Prin-
cipal business was to be the
election of a vice-presidept to
replace Eaton.
It's an Old Crowd tradition to
honor a member of long stand
ing by naming him vice-presi-
dent. In addition, the rules pro-
vide the president or vice-presi-

years to be eligible. To win 9TH
