FRATERNITY OF LATIN
AMERICANS FORMED

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
NOTRE DAME. Ind, Jan. 29.-Under the
most favorable circumstances, and with
general enthusiasm. the Spanish-Americans
of Notre Dame have started a national
Latin-American fraternity Of college stu
dents. The idea Of national fraternity is
in advance of anything among the organiza-
tons that now exists at Notre Dame. as all
of them are purely local in their character.
This society has been under discussion for
more than six months. the first steps being
taken last summer when a number of Span
ish students who are attending American
colleges were taking a trip through the
States. In this group were men from Notre
Dame. Leland Stanford. Chicago. Cornell
and number of the Eastern colleges. After
being together for two months they con-
ceived the idea of forming some tie to sup
plement the bond formed by a community
of native speech and country. Some of
these men come from the Philippines, Porto
Rico and Cuba; they represent the most
progressive element Of their people and
fast being Americanized. The prospects OF
the present organization seem to be very
bright and it's future influence will be not
only social, but also business and political, If
II meets the expectations OF its promoters.
They are taking as their model the general
plan of the American college fraternity, and
the promoters at Notre Dame are in COM
throughout the land When the organiza
tiOn is perfected. most OF the larger univer-
stiles will be represented.
The officers OF the Notre Dame society
are; President, b. Enriquez; vice president,
s. VilIanueva; secretary. T.. Battle; treas
L. Lomelin, A. Duque. s. Guerra and Z. o.
