To ASSIST
IN INSTITUTION
A CHAPTER OF THE PHI DELTA
THETA, COLLEGE FRATERNITY
TO BE INSTITUTED AT THE
STATE UNIVERSITY DURING
THE MIDDLE OF APRIL.

The members of the Fargo Alumni
club Of the Phi Delta Theta, college
fraternity, are planning to install a
chapter of that fraternity at the Uni
versity of North Dakota It Grand
Forks on April II. IS and 10. The
national fraternity which has chapters
in nearly all of the state universities
and larger institutions Of learning in
the United States and Canada, granted
a charter to the Bachelor club of North
Dakota state university at it's biennial
convention held at the Hotel LaSalle
in Chicago during Christmas week.
The Grand Forks boys had petitioned
this fraternity for q number of years
and the granting of the charter is con
sidered to be a marked recognition not
only of the members of the Bachelor
club, but the state university as well,
as the larger Greek letter fraternitieS
are yearly petitioned for membership
by local bodies in many of the colleges
and universities, but rarely. If ever,
grant more than one charter during
each year and are very slow to enter
western schools.
The ceremonies at Grand Forks will
be conducted by DR.. Guy Potter Ben =
ton. president of Phi Delta Theta, as
sisted by other national oflcers. DR..
Benton is president of the University
Of Vermont and will come from Rurl-
ington to lead in the ceremonies.
1t is also expected that a large dele
cation of the Fargo fraternity men will
attend the initiation. There are now
about twenty-five members of this
fraternity in Fargo and the local club
is very active and enthusiastic in it's
preparation for the coming event at
Grand Forks. For that purpose q meet
ing Of the club has been called for
next Saturday at 4 o'clock p. M, at the
Offices Of Lawrence & Murphy, over
the First National bank building.
The Bachelor club has for it's home
a splendid brick and stone house on
the university campus, in which the
initiation ceremonies and social func-
tons will be held, and in which the
visitors and friends of the club will be
entertained during the time fixed for
the fraternity festivities.
Numbered among the Fargo mem
bers of Phi Delta Theta are j. s. Wat
son and Clarence Merrill, alumni OF
Wabash university; N. G. Young, ". r
Lowell and Horace Young, Iowa uni
versity; B. V. Moore, Depaw; w o
McLelland, Hanover; M. w. Murphy
South Dakota university; Harry
Schruth, Chicago university, and DR.
r. e. Weible and L. L. Twichell of the

SSOMERS SYSTEM
OFFER WITHDRAWN
Holding Company Says ASSESS

Understood

A representative of the Manufsctur-
ers Appraisal Company which operates
the Somers' system of assessment, an
nounces that the company has with
drawn its tentative proposal recently
submitted TO the Board of Assessment
Revision and Appeals
The reasons set forth for the with

opposition to the Somers system that
has been developed so far comes from
those who are either ignorant OF the
real situation, or from those who know
that its installation would actually
equalize assessments. and who do not
want them equalized
The revision board. in their effort 10
install a new system of assessment, was
assisted by the Chamber of Commerce
which named a committee to make an

and the purdy system. which is in vogue

Purdv system, with notifications.
Two objections were offered 70 the
Somers' system. one being that the
tables used in computing corner

installation of the system-S15,OOO-

the board will take some action upon
the letter before any further move
