A point summation technique was used to search the UHURU data base for X-ray emission from classical Be stars. Of the thirty-two stars considered, only three (λ Cas, HR 4009, and HD 187399) were detected at the 3.3σ level or higher. For reasons discussed in this paper, HD 45314, π Aqr, κ Dra, and 48 Per are considered to be possible detections. The X-ray emission from λ Cas from late 1970 through early 1973 is discussed.
