But It has further advantages. These arc
the opportunities it gives for intercourse
and friendships throughout the collegiate
world, and the exceptional privileges It
lays before the graduate.
In Williams, for example, all the fra
ternities but n are national; that Ia, they
are merely chapters Of a fraternity that 10
represented in the same way at other col
leges and universities all over the country.
Each fraternity holds a yearly convention,
at which delegates from all Of it's chapters
are present. In visiting another college
a fraternity delegate naturally goes to the
chapter house and Is welcomed for as long
a time as he cares 10 stay.
The broadening influences Of such a con-
dition is obvious; an undergraduate at
Williams annot fail to gain much from a
comparison OF ideas with a fellow student
from the University Of California. The
same is true OF alumni. When in a college
town they drop in at their fraternity house,
stay to dinner, perhaps, and are thus
brought into touch with the undergraduate
world.
But they also have q little world Of their
own, for in most cities Of any size graduate
members OF a large national fraternity are
organized into fraternity alumni clubs,
which have dinners and smokers and occa-
sionally have quarters Of their own. A
good Instance Of this is the dinner given
to Gov. Hughes by the Delta Epsilon Club
of New York last March.

thought of a fraternity nowadays. NEXT to
seeing that its men satisfy the requirements
or the curriculum. is to make them &c: out
into college activities and mix with their
fellow students in a democratic wav. In
other words the aim Of the fraternity IL
to secure for its members a reputation for
congenial temper. character and energy,

eties they shall rank az a fine set Of men.
Now while this bears a clos, r~ose,nblance
to the aims of an upperclass club at Prince
ton, in other ways. say fraternity men,
the two forms are widely different in their
effects. Under the Princeton system mem
bers are chosen at the end Of sophomore
year, and those who have fai. sd Of an cleo

weakened.
II is claimed for the fraternity. on the
other hand. that il is n far more agreeable
presence TO the man who IL not n member.
In most colleges a fraternity elects nearly
all its new member as soon "a they enter
college, or within a month or SO atterward.
The basis for judgment is 10y no means
adequate. Sometimes a new man has a

TO PROVIDE ARMY HORSES.
Gen. Aleshire's Plans for Improved Re-
Mount system.

The new Quartemaster-Gen General Of the
army, Brigadier-G General James b. Ale
shire, entertains some ideas of his own
concerning what in known rs the remount
system; that is. the sources of supply Of
horses for military use.
Some idea of the number Of horses needed,
says Harper's Weekly. may be gained by
the fact that there will be required to equip
the army as at present organized riding
horses as follows: Cavalry. 12.2l5; field
artillery. 3,45O; infantry. 900; engineers,
PSI; Signal Corps, 200; Medical Department,

mules. 1872 pack mules and 1877 riding mules.

Among the places which are regarded az
available are neal Springfield, Ohio, In
the vicinity OF Lexington or Danville, KY,
In Virginia near Washington, near Platts-
burg In Missouri, in the Sequoia National
Park, and the Yosemite National Park in
California.
The advantages OF the remount system
include the supply to the army OF u
fresh, sound and well broken horses; the
creation OF a market for young horses;
the ~prolongation OF the life or period OF
duration OF the animal with a correspond
