MAY DAY PoFM.
The snow drops came so long ago
We thought the spring was here;
The crocus was soon ablow,
And blue.bells made so fair show
II seemed to be quite clear
The summer months we're somewhere near
So long ago was that; and yet
When May Is just begun
We hayn't the faintest symptom met
OF summer, and almost forget
The aspect OF the sun,
And think old winter isn't done!
The orchards made sudden show
And then came rain and hail
And frost, that caught the flowers in blow,
And bit their hearts all out, you know.
This made the buds turn pale
Here "where harvesls never failr
And now ii is the first Of May,
And would like to ask
What those same snow drops meant to say
When they so early in FGbrua-
Ry took the year to task,
And in the sunshine tried to baskp
The winter months have all been strange,
With many a sunny day;
When we'd not ventured 10 complain
To see bushel a day of rain,
So we can safely say
December was as pleasant rs May.
Some people says "why, let her rip,
And try to get along"
But when see the ewes all drip
And Mill creek going clppity.clip,
I'm 'bliged to sing this little song,
To say the weather's ccming it strong
never made a rhyme afore,
And never will again;
But this is better'n II swore,
Relievin' the feelin's considerable more
Than IL | let II rain
And never once dared to complain.
l know some people are so good,
They seem TO think they must
he satisfied; and II could
I'D try to &c I in happy mood,
But things Is this way, just
I've got to say my say-or bust.

If you can imagine a canoe pitching

some idea of the action of a lightly
loaded sledge being dragged over a
ridge and furrow and rock. Without
guidance the sledge would soon pound
itself to pieces, so you humor and coax
1t through the burrows, ease it around
or lift it over the rocks, pull with the
dogs in climbing the ridge and pull
against them in going down And all
the time, because of your enforced run

in order to handle it by the tail line, -
you are tripping over rocks you cannot
see, being damned in between others
you cannot escape, or blocking the pro-

the extreme of this spirit of propaga-
ton seems to have been personified,
for no other of the older fraternities
has established so many chapters in
some in stances in colleges which were
practically high schools, as Delta Kap-
pa Epsilon.
Twenty years ago. and for long
time preceding, the membership of the
few chapters of Kappa Alpha very
few had or have been established) was
generally regarded as limited and very
exclusive" while the policy of the fra
ternity was one of distinctly non-ex-
tension. Its immediate imitator, Sig
ma Phi, was not dong in securing like
classification. 1t, too, had restrict
ed number OF chapters, and tendency
to regard ''the grandfather" as having
much to do with the man. Delta Phi
was rather less exclusive, but evident.
~ did not care to establish many new
chapters. Coming to the three great
fraternities, Alpha Delta Phi was re-
garded as having high social stand
ing, paying special attention to liter
airy excellence among it's members,
and sensible view of conservatism
as to the extension of the fraternity
Perhaps 1t would be unjust TO repeat
this with reference to Psi Epsilon.
At the west the arrival off Alpha Del
ia Phi at Miami gave rise TO Beta
Theta Pi. now one of the largest, most
progressive and best governed of the
Greek letter fraternities. It sertainly
places less weight on the propriety or
desirability of what people have chosen
to call conservatism with respect to
extension of membership and unques-
tionably maintain a high literary exca-
aeirce among its members as some of
| the older and formerly more important
fraternnties. Chi Psi. while not so
restricted as to number of chapters
as Sigma Phi or Kappa Alpha, is one

reputation at times has been as much.
for good fellowship as for social or lit
erary excellence. Another one of the
smaller fraternities, until recenply
(when a policy of extension seems TO
have been adopted) is Zeta Psi. said to
be a very secret fraternity, to have
been founded by Free Masons, and to
have made particularly in recent
years., remarkable advance as to
membership. The comparatively Few
and socially exclusive members of
Delta Psi, like those of Sigma Phi and
Kappa Alpha, prefer new chapters.

is considerable wealth centered in this

lions the rituals suggest familiarity
with ceremonials, customs or peculiar

ages. Evidently members of some of

college fraternities, however. would be
considered commonplace and unsatis-
factory by good judges.
During the last fifteen or twenty
years. 1T is probably a fact that some
of the older fraternities, notably Kappa
Alpha, Delta Phi and Sigma Phi have
refrigerated somewhat. During the
same period, the three great fraterni-
ties, Alpha Delta Psi, Psi Epsilon and
Delta Kappa Epsilon, around which
names the entire Greek letter world
has wont to revolve, have not much
more than held their own. Some off the
younger ones, notably western and
southern fraternities, have planted
chapters in the older colleges, have
gone out to the Pacific coast and into
! Canada. and have thrived even in the
! halls of eastern universities where Old
