have paid the forfeit. So far as is
known he was never guilty of an an

PLAN TO
DO WORK

What is expected to revOlutiOnize
the work in the literary societies OF
Whitman is the plans which We're set
on foot by the members of the Phren-
okosmian literary society at their
regular eetin2 in Association hall
last night. A splendid program con-
sisting of a review of current events
by Alton Carlton, a declaration by
Albert Greenwell, and a speech on the
future prospects of the society by Don
aid Campbell was held, but in addition
to this was the presence at the meet
ing of President S. p. l.. Penrose or
the college who came on the invitation
of the members to make suggs stions on
the betterment of the society work.
For the past two or three years the
literary work in the society has lacked
interest from the majority of the
members and was to remedy this de-
feet that President Penrose was called
in to give suggestions for increased
interest and higher standard of liter
airy work.
The main defect in the work of so
ciety as was brought out at the meet
ing last night is that the society mem
bers have indulged in too much de-
batting with not enough variety IN
the program to caH out members who
We're not on the program A series of
declamations, of orations, of essays,
of poems, and papers, is to be inaugu-
rated and it is hoped in this way to
vary the program and make the
work in the society more interesting.
Suggestion of several members it
was decided that big meeting of all
the members OF the society be called
for two weeks from last night when
it is planned to reorganiZe the So
ciety The old constitution is obso-
lete in many ways and contains pro-
visions that can never be lived up to,
and it is planned to draw up a new
constitution and to have the men,
bers resign it. There are presen, on
the roll of the society many members
who do not take an active part in the
sOciety's work and it is also planned
to give these members chance to
retain their membership in the reor-
sanized society ii they desire to 90 20
and pledge themselves to live up to the
willy Of the socse.s. If they do not wish
20 do this they will be dropped from
the society roll.
The present officers of the society
are: President, Harry l.. Wilson, 10;
vice president, Albert Greenwich; seq
! retary. Percy Milne; treasurer, John
| Washburn 10.
