for friction.
The fraternity is a great institution
in it's influence on the average Ameri-
can undergraduate" declared Mr.. How
ard today. 1T fills a need in the life
of the college student which never
could be filled in any other way. Boys
naturally seek others of their kind, and
it is inevitable that this tendency
should find expression in the student
organizations which we know as fra
ternities. Wherever man is thrust he
casts about for congenial spirits. He
will find them sooner or later.
Fraternity life, properly lived, brings
out manly qualities that otherwise
would lie dormant or undeveloped.
Pride in the various groups Of men and
the name Of the orders stimulates men
to do their best in appearance and in
action.
