ciaI Life.

for the best example that would sub
stantiate the statement that man is a
social animal it is certain that no bet
ter one could possibly be found than
that which is shown in the daily life
of the students of Emory College
There are more clubs and organizations
of a social nature here this year than
has ever been known and each one has
contributed its share to the pleasure
and success of college life.
Seven of the leading college fra
ternities maintain fiourishing chapters
at Emory. In the order of their es-
Establishment at this institution and the
number of men composing each, they
are Chi Phi, 8; Kappa Alpha (South-

the workings and customs of which
everyone is more or less familiar,
