Greek Letter Societies and the Jews.

From the Menorah
We find, in glancing over the catalogues
of the various orders, where such are
available, that almost all contain the names
of Jews. Judge Julius Marshall Mayer Of
the New York court Of special sessions and
Capt. Philip Stern of the United States
army are members of Phi Delta Theta.
They have been honcred by the society and
have held important Offices in the fra
ternity councils. One province president of
this society Is now Jew. guiding the af-
fairs of a score of college chapters. A
director and another officer of its large
metropolitan club. as well as sixteen MEM
bers. are Jews. Former Judge William N.
Cohen is an Alpha Delta Phi from Dart
mouth. Capt. Zalinski Of the United States
naval experts was member of Psi Epsilon
at Cornell. A director of the Educational
Beta Theta ri, and the number might be
indefinitely prolonged. At recent con-
vention of the largest of the Greek letter
societies FIVE delegates out of total of
and four received convention offices OF i'm
portaEce.
It is unfortunately true that at some in
stutitions Jews are rigidly excluded from
the fraternities. That is said to obtain at
Cornell, Pennsylvania and Harvard today,
and to some extent at Columbia. although
at the present time three Columbia chap
tiers have Jewish initiates, one having as
many as three members out of total of
thirty-one The fact that less than 10 per
cent OF the male students at Columbia are
fraternity members shows that the per-
centage of Jewish initiates is not unduly
small Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Alpha Epsi-
lon, Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Delta Theta
have initiated Jews in recent years In this
one Institution; three Jews were initiated
in one society last year at Syracuse Uni
versity, and the same number at Lafayette,
and others have been taken in at Brown,
Dartmouth, Williams, Yale and other in
situations. 1t Is undoubtedly true. however,
that at most institutions many men who
deserve initiation are sighted either be-
cause of their marked Jewish characters
tics or the fact that they have distinctiyely
Jewish names.

Mir. Bryan and the Bennett VIII.

So far as the decisions of the lower courts of Connecticut are concerned, MT. Bryan has lost the s50,0OO which he insists he is entitled to by virtue of a bequest from the late Philo s. Ben nett of New Haven. MT. Bryan has appealed to the supreme court of the state, but it is not thought that the decisions already rendered will be re- versed. It would have been better for MT. Bryan's reputation If he had never appeared in court to make a contest for the legacy.
 The circumstances are somewhat pe- culiar. MT. Bryan and MT. Bennett were warm friends. MT. Bryan drew the will of MT. Bennett, at the latter's request, and the will bequeathed the sum of s3O,OOO to MT. Bryan flor lec- lures on economic topics" The mean ing of this provision is supposed to be that MT. Bryan was to give free lec- lures to the public to the value of $3O, GOO. But here the peculiar circum- stances develop. In addition to the $SO,OOO devised in the will, MT. Ben nett at the same time wrote and sign ed a letter to Mrs. Bennett, his wife, to be read after his death, directing her to pay further s50,0OO to MT. Bryan or his heirs. No restriction as to the use of this money was sug- gested.
 The proceedings from which MT. Bryan has appealed cover only the sealed letter" bequest. Mrs. Bennett has vigorously resisted the payment of the s5O,OOO mentioned in her hus- bands letter, and holds that 1t is legal
