WILL THE JUNIOR SOCIETIES GO

That the Faculty are Taking 1 Advantage of the Late Accident to 1 Abolish the Junior SocIeties-The 1 Coroner's Verdict Will be Given TO.day-Death Caused by Accident No Arrests Will be Made. The report that the committee of the faculty having general charge of the mat ters relating to the Yale societies intend to abolish the junior societies is creating con- siderable excitement among the society men on the campus. The latter argue that nothing can really atone for the unfortun- ate accident and that they have by abolish ing initiation ceremonies done away with possibility of the recurrence of anything of this nature.
 A rumor, as stated, is current that the faculty are taking this opportunity to abolish the societies.
 Some years ago the sophomore societies were abolished, and it seems likely that before long President McCosh's action at Princeton will be put in operation here, and all the societies will soon be thing of history. The committee having the matter in charge consists of Professors H. F. Wright, E. L. Richards and A. w.. | Phillips. The first two are said to be in favor of the abolishment of the societies. Election to junior society, it is alleged, | is getting to be matter of heredity. The | societies, too, are considered by many as inimical to the democratic spirit that exists still, in theory, at least, on the campus.
