3. In other years the president then in office shall call a meeting in the first week of November for the purpose of electing a nominating committee of ten. At this meeting there shall be three ballots: on the first the twenty-five men receiving the highest number of votes shall be retained and voted upon in a second ballot. On the second ballot the fifteen highest shall be retained and voted upon for the third ballot to determine the final ten.

4. The committee so elected shall nominate within one week at least two candidates for each office, announcing their nominations publicly. One week later the class shall vote by Australian ballot in an all-day election.

5. There shall be no restriction on this nominating committee as it may nominate any members of the class it wishes.

It was also voted that the President appoint a committee of five, of which he should be chairman ex officio, and R.
