Qualifications for Voting Outlined

Many students in the University are asking if they can vote in Cambridge this November. Mr. J. Frank Facey, chairman of the Registrars of Voters in the City of Cambridge, yesterday explained the necessary qualifications to a CRIMSON reporter. Briefly they are that a man to be eligible must be 21 years of age, must have had his name placed on the Police List before October 2, 1920, and must have been a resident of the city on the first day of April.

Most students are not legally residents of this city. Mr. Facey quoted from a decision made by Judge Raymond in the Superior Court of Massachusetts to illustrate the point. No one, who is residing in Cambridge merely as a student is classed as a resident, and therefore no student, unless his home is in Cambridge, may vote.
