and to assit in all reasonable ways such organizations as are on the ap- proved list in carrying out such plans and policies as may be con- ducive to harmless social intercourse, a fine school spirit and a correct at titude of interest and support for the school and school work" Contlnu- ing he said:
 SIade Outlines Policy
 q have called you together this morning that you may have clearly in mind the policy that my admin istration will follow in pursuance of the new regulations.
 Your membership lists and your statements of your aims, have been left at my office. If there are any additions to be made 10 bring these papers up to date, kindly sec that we are supplied with the new infor- nation, at the earliest possible time, 1 because we are about 10 publish the 1 lists.
 'Inasmuch as your organizations are secret, I must base my approval or disapproval upon the apparent effect Of the organizations, in pro- , ,ulations--harmless social intercourse a fine school spirit and correct at titude of interest and support for the school and school work.
 ITO organizations that are ap- | proved, 1 shall aim always 10 dis charge faithfully and sympathetical- ! ly the duty imposed upon me by the committee: To cultivate cordial re- lationships, and to assist in all req sonable ways,--in carrying out such plans and policies as may be condu- cive to harmless social intercourse "a fine school spirit, and a correct attitude of interest and support for the school and school work.
 The new regulation repeals that section in our school customs which warns teachers of the school against serving as patrons or patronesses of secret organizations.
 While we shall maintain toward all approved organizations a sympa- thetic and helpful attitude, we must, of course, be very careful to have all groups in the school, and all individuals, on an equal footing so far as the privileges and oppor- i tunitles of the school are con- cerned. It will be the practice of the administration in the future, as it has been in the past, to grant 1 only such special privileges as may { be granted 10 any other group, or any other individual, in the same circumstances.
 T shall be glad to know with what particular member or members of each fraternity or sorority ] should confer from time to time in the interest of the particular or ganization or of the school
 T shall be glad to have your rep resentatiVe members come to me with such problems as they may wish to submit 10 me and with such requests as they may wish 10 make. I shall not hesitate to take the ini- 'iatiNe and call them into confer cnce.
 Your dances have, az you know, sometimes brought discredit upon you and upon the school. While, Of course, we cannot be responsible for dances outside of our plant, we shall expect that you will provide such safeguards at your dances as will protect your good name and that of thn school
 If you have regular places of meeting, other than the homes Of your members. the conduct Of your members at these places must be such as not 10 be objectionable 10 any citizens.
 T shall not pry into your affairs and shall, as l have indicated, base my judgment upon the results which your organizations achieve in the character and reputation Of their members. As you may seek my help. I shall bc glad 10 give this help in all causes that may contribute to the apbrilline Of your characters and .he improvement Of our school
