VALUE OF COLLEGE "FRATs."
Statistical Showing Which is Credit.
able to the Greek Letter Boys.

The Concord Monitor: At the re-
quest Of President Nichols of Dart
mouth, the registrar of the college,
II, NJ. Tibbetts, has compiled compre.
hensive statistics during the past year
as to the scholarship of the student
body. In these figures he compares
the marks of the different classes,
freshmen, sophomore, junior and sen.
ior, and of the members of fraternities
and of non.fraternity men.
The results are very interesting and
have attracted much attention from
both the educational and daily press
The average scholarship of the en-
tire college for the first semester of
the past year was found to be 70.6;
of the freshmen, 66.3; sophomores.
$50; juniors, III; seniors, 76.9; show
idle or dull are weeded out by the
standards of requirements.
In another table the average of the
men in college belonging to fraterni-
ties is shown to be 6S.37 and of the
non-fraternity men, 1855; which is at
once seized upon by the opponents of
fraternities as a strong argument
against that feature of college life.
Not so much is said about another
table in which are compared the schol-
arship records of the members of diff.
ferent fraternities by classes; but this
gives some evidence in favor Of the
societies.
Psi Epsilon, the oldest fraternity at
Dartmouth, heads the table. The aver,
age scholarship of it's first year mem
bers is but 59.5, showing that men are
not chosen for it by reason of their
records as students prior to entering
college for the sophomores the aver
age rises to 500; for the juniors to
I'll: while the average of the seniors
rises to sos or ten points higher than
the average for the whole college.
To us these figures indicate that the
influence of the fraternity upon its
members as regards scholarship is
good. A man is impelled to make a
creditable showing in the classroom
as well as upon the athletic field, not
only for his own honor, but for that
of the fraternity. 1t is true that the
boys as they enter college are looked
over upon good fellow basis, but
once enrolled upon the chapter list
the influence of the older members
and of the traditions of the fraternity
is all in the direction of better work
on all lines for the boys honored by an
election.

Freaks On the Plains.

samples of the fake homesteader,
which is part of all pioneer life.
These little stories of Nebraska's hills
would be incomplete, if no mention

Every western state, in its pioneer
stages, draws its full share of freaks.
Nebraska in its early days had fewer
than Wyoming or Dakota. 1t has
never, like Kansas, voted it's freaks
into congress, or listed them in the
National Lecture bureau. 1t has kept
them usually on the prairies, where
at the end of five years, they disap-
peared without bare of trumpets or
newspaper notoriety. The characters
