 Principal Slades talk to the frat members follows:
 II have called you together this morning that you may have clearly in mind the policy that my adminis- tration 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 to bring these papers up to date. kindly see that we are supplied with the new in- formation. at the earliest possible time, because we are about to pub fish the lists.
 "Inasmuch as your organizations are secret, I must base my approval or disapproval upon the apparent effect of the organizations in produc- ing-to use the words of the regu- lations-'harmless social intercourse, a fine school spirit and a correct at titude of interest and support for the school and school work
 ITO organizations that are approv- ed, I shall aim always 10 discharge faithfully and sympathetically the duty imposed upon me by the com- mittee: to cultivate cordial relation ships, and to assist in all reasonable ways,-in carrying out such plans and policies as may be conducive to harmless social intercourse. 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 sym pathetic 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- tunities of the school are concerned. It will be the practice of the admin istratioAl ill the future, as it has been in the past to grant only such spe cial privileges as may be granted to any other group, or any other indi- vidual, in the same circumstances.
 T shall be glad to know with what particular member or mem bers 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 to me, and with such requests as they may wish to make. 1 shall not hesitate to take the initiative and call them into conference.
 Your dances have, as 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 the 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 to be objectionable to any citizens.
 T shall not pry into your af- fairs and shall as I have indi- cated. base my judgments upon the results which your organizations in the character and repu- tation of their members. AS you may seek my help. I shall be glad to give this help in all causes that may contribute to the upbuilding of your characters and the lm- provement of our school.'
