E., Chi Phi, and k. A. fraternities in
Athens. This resulted III an Investigation
by the faculty. After the matter had been
thoroughly ventilated, an order was issued
forbidding these three fraternities to hold
fraternity meetings. The members might
meet socially aud informally, but no frater-
nifty business was to be transacted. PLEDGES
were required, agreeing, on the part of tine
students TO these conditions. Ted Nell
youngest son of the late chancellor of the
university. had, personally, nothing what
ever to do with the trouble. Action was
taken by his fraternity chapter, as a
chapter, but his vote was recorded
in protest against any such action. So
pronounced were his views and so earnest
his efforts to prevent the trouble, that he
was freely censured for it. When the pledge
was drawn up, however, he refused to sign
it. He had done nothing, he said, to de-
prlve him of any such privilege. The cham
cellor was firm. Mr.. Nell persisted in a
quiet refusal to sign the pledge, and was
suspended for it. He is now out OF college
