SEVENTEEN AT DARTMOUTH.

President w ] Tucker OF Dartmouth College
said thar he .aw no danger from fraternties IN
American colleges and universities, except that Of
the student body breaking up into cliques.
AT Dartmouth" he said, this danger is at
the minimum owing to the fact that fraternity
spirit is subordinate TO college splrit There are
seventeen traternities here. and all of them
seem prosperous but they do not usurp any OF
the proper college functions. large and very
attractive college clubhouse with commons at

for that there is no temptation for men TO live
exclusively in fraternity houses some OF the
fraternities have houses instead Oh iouses' Out

He thought that the college suffered to a certain
extent from the fact that so many of the alumni
are more interested in the affairs OF their fra
ternties than in the broader affairs of the college
The college, Also suffers a pecuniary loss In that
the alumni a good deal more ready to respond
to the fraternity call for aid than TO the cOllesc

IDEAL WOULD BE NO FRATERNITIEs

James Hume Garfield, librarian of Columbia
University, said that the ideal college life
would not contain fraternities
1.-The college world" he added would be an
absolute unit knowing nothing Of cliques or
factions or divisions OF any sort. recognizing
community OF interest in all things each shar-
ing in common prosperity because contributing

other each member of this democratic COM
rnunity q direct and positive blessing to each
other member.
But II happens that the world Is quite other
wise; Christian nations contend with pagan and
with each other as well; there is strife OF creeds
in churches and Of parties in the political world;
class makes upon class in social life and
distinctions Of rank or wealth or association are
everywhere nlanifest-and the college is In the
world and OF the world
"Fraternties, or secret societies. are now
known in nearly every college in this country,
and constitute one OF the most important fac
tors Of college life. This coming together Of
young men OF similar tastes and purposes is en-
tirely natural and is to be expected in the col
lege it is in society at large
The very Wisest course which a ColleSlan,
therefore, pursue In respect to fraternities
is to refuse absolutely to join or to pledge him

but instead asked Rudolf Tonbo, jr.. the regis
ter, to speak in his behalf Mr.. Tombo is
fraternity man and strong believer in the
benefits which a good fraternity may render its
members. Nevertheless, he sees a dangerous
tendency on the part of some organizations TO
build fraternity houses that are unnecessarily
expensive. This, he thinks, is the only phase
of fraternity life not compatible with true col
Iege democracy" and in offering solution for
the problem he said:
1T should be heartily in favor OF arrange
nlent whereby every university in the land
erty to be owned by chapter. Inherently, the
fraternity man is not snob or cad. but see
grave dangers ahead in the extravagant ex-
penditures made for fraternity domicies in
pumber of institutions. There is a wide gulf
between a refined and a luxurant environment,
and the more of the former and the less Of the
latter the college student comes into contact
with the more wholesome will his college In
fuences tend to become.
Finally, in reply to the question to
whether l regard the influence of fraternities
here at Columbia beneficial or detrimental to
the best interests of the university, answer
without hesitation that I consider their iniu-
erce Of the best In the great majority of in
