Macon, Ca, June 1.-The fate of
the fraternities of Mercer university
rests in the hands of the board of
trustees. The trustees meet tonight
in their annual session when a definite
settlement of the long-standing mat

Wesleyan trustees at their recent
session declared that the sororities Of
that institution must go though they
have been in existence since the
founding of the college. Fraternities
have been at Mercer since It's found
ing by Jesse Mercer, and the ques-
ton of forcing them out has in re-
cent years repeatedly arisen, but each
time the decision of the board of trus-
tees has been postponed.
At the meeting last year represen-
tatiyes of the non-fraternity organi-
cation appeared before the trustees
with arguments against their further
continuance at the Baptist institu-
ton. At that time hey were asked
to wait until today. No agitation of
the question has manifested itself on
the campus this term pending the dc
cision of the board of trustees.
