some high school kid" talk about
stopping schoeI here and going to
the University because the rules her
forbid them belonging to a secret
society. There is no school any,

what a~iseouraaes f~raternities in the
kinerg irten class. Present HIP, OF
the State University, has the right
idea about Ills matter, and in an
address at Columbia a few days sine
referred to the university ruleagainst
fresh1len coming f~raternities, and
the statistics which have shown
scholarship among f~raternities to be
below the average. No person may
JOHN a social fraternity unless he
