What the Fraternity and Literary
Societies Are Doing.
The Phi :Gamma Deltas are busy pre-
pairing for their national convention,
which commences Thursday of this
week at the West hotel. The Univers-
ity chapter was started in 1890, and now
has nearly twenty members. Like the
Dekes, who held their national conven-
ton last week, they expect about sew
enty-fve representatives OF the various
chapters. The up Phi Gammas will go
down to Chicago to meet the visitors
and bring them to Minneapolis on a
special car. This is their fOrty-fifth
convention, and they can we'll look with
pride on their past history, for they now
number something over 5000, having
forty-fiye active chapters, and being
one of the largest fraternities in this
country. The meeting will adjourn
Saturday evening.
The Phi Kappa Psis will soon play a
football game with the Chi Psis, who
some time since defeated the football
team of the Dekes.
The Phi Psis line up as follows: Will
son, center; johnson and Lord, guards;
Luers and Thorp. ends; Lawrence aud
Putnam, tackles: Trigg, captain and
quarter back; Miller and Boyer, halves;
Hanny, full back.
The Chi Psis stand very good show
of winning, as their team numbers,
among others, such men as Pillsbury
and Belden, both of last years regular
university team.
Last week the Delta Tau Deltas mi
tiated L. r. Brown, and the Theta
Delta CHS took Linneous Savage, of '93

The Sororities have not been idle
either.
The Kappa Kappa Gammas INITIATED
twelve new members last Monday.
The ARIEL came out last Saturday
somewhat changed under its new editor
in-chief. c. l.. Whiteman, who was
elected Saturday in place of Mr.. Helli-
well, resigned.
At the last meeting the Delta Sigma
Lit gave very instructive entertain
ment, consisting of paper on the Spirit
cussiOn of the Geary law, by Messrs.
McAndrew, ElIithorp, Strathearn and
ASpohn, and concluding with a charac-
ter sketch of Schopenhauer from Mr.,
Burrows.
On the same evening the Hermeans

sonal experiences, and Mr.. Manual

The Hermeans will debate this evening
on the question, ''Resolved, That the

and William Goodward are in the at
firmative, and Jesse Van Valkenburg
and William Simonton in the negative.
MeSSrs. Clark, Barto, Simonton and
Harding were elected Phi Beta Kappas
last week. Phi Beta Kappa is the old
est Greek letter fraternity, having been
formed before the Revolution, and be-
coming honorary and nearly non-secret
during the antI-Masonic crusade of
1880. Election to its ranks is based upon
scholarship, and is very high honor.
The new members are limited to one
eighth of each senior class. The re-
malnder of the delegation from the
class OF '94 will be chosen later in the
year.
The following are the chairmen of
senior committees. They are elected,
and not chosen by the class president:

Registrar johnson has just had issued
by the University Press a directory of
the academic and engineering depart
ments. 1t contains TBS names, and is a
very neat publication.
