ference also went on record. he said,

position being taken that such customs
are not conducive to keeping frater-
mites on a high plane.
It seemed to be the universal desire
on the part of university officials, Dr..
Healy reported, to cooperate fully with
the fraternities because of their belief
that they are an extremely important
factor in university life and that such
cooperation would be Of mutual bene-
