A temporary solution Of the question of sopho-

VIII be remembered that the societies were sus-

cause Of their refusal to accept certain changes in
their organization suggested by the faculty last
spring IT was urged against these societies that
because Of their small and exclusive membership
tHeg constituted serious menace the traditional
democracy or college life. At the petition Of last
year $ senior class a radical reform was proposed
by the faculty. but rejected by the societies A
compromise has been effected by which the soci-
etles agree to increase their combined membership
from 81 TO 20 and to postpone the election Of new
Hleiipers uII after Easter each year. Though not
as sweeping as the original proposition. this in
crease or membership Is a decided step in the right
direction, and in consideration Of this concession
the faculty has withdrawn its injunction and per-
mitted the initiation members from 1868 though
reserving the right TO renew the suspension or
even TO abolish the societies altogether il at any
time their action shall warrant It. The solution is
not altogether satisfactory the undergrad tes

question Is a delicate one. and any measure OF re-
