To the Alumni of the University of Buffalo
The Council of The University of Buffalo consists of thirty-six members, together with the Mayor of the City of Buffalo and the Deans of the several faculties of the University, who are ex-officio members without voting power. One-third of the members of the Council are chosen by vote of the Alumni. The term of office is four years.
In accordance with the charter and By-Laws of the University three members of the Council will be chosen by the Alumni at an election which will close on May 15, 1944. Any ten or more Alumni may file with the Secretary of the Council of the University on or before April 10, 1944, written nomina-
tions of Council members to be elected by the Alumni at such election.
Immediately after April 10, 1944, a ballot containing the names of all the nominees, together with biographical sketches of the nominees, will be sent by the Secretary of the Council to each holder of a degree from the University and the ballot of every voter must be in the hands of the Secretary on or before May 15, 1944.
Not more than one Alumnus of anyone Department of the University shall be eligible for election to the Council by the Alumni in any year, and if more than one of the members of the Alumni of any one Department be among the three highest voted for, the name or names of such surplus member or members shall be stricken from the election return.
In the event of a vacancy in the group or class elected by the Alumni in any one year, the same shall be filled automatically from the election return of the year in which the said group or class was elected, by advancing there-
from the available eligible candidate who received the next highest number of votes on the said election return, subject, however, to the provision that not more than one Alumnus of any one department shall be eligible for election to the Council by the Alumni in any year.
Please note that certificates of nomination, supported by ten Alumni, together with photograph and biographical sketch of the candidate, must reach the Secretary of the Council at Townsend Hall, 25 Niagara Square, Buffalo, New York, not later than 5 P.M. on April 10, 1944.
