Darden Report Decrie!
Social Emphasis Of
u. Of Va. Fraternities
By The Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Oct.
15.-Colgate w. Darden, jr.. presi-
dent of the University of Virginia,
believes fraternities at the insti-
tuition should require certain
scholastic proficiency as a pre-
requisite of membership
He expressed the opinion in his
report for the fiscal year ended
last June 30, made public yester-
day.
THE university" he declared,
"has suffered too often in the
past from activities of a group of
fraternities and societies dedi-
Gated, and sometimes exclusively
to the outward and visible signs
of social distinction. The ener-
waiting hand of this social COM
bination must be lifted from the
student body"
Criticism Outlined.
He charged that such groups
have failed signally as organiza-
tions to share the legitimate in
terests of a university community
nor have they furnished the lead
ership which might be expected of
them"
In this connection it was recalled
that several years ago, when he
was Governor, Mr.. Darden pro-
posed that fraternities and sorori-
ties be forbidden to maintain
chapter houses.
The university president also
announced that general approval
has been given to a plan to set
up lower and upper division
for students in the College of
Arts and Sciences in move To
solve some of the problems arts
ing from the institutions post
war growth.
Closer Supervision Planned.
Under such plan, he explained,
there would be "closer supervision
of younger and less experienced
students and increasing
freedom for those students who
demonstrate their ability to do
good work at the college level
Much of the report was de-
voted to an outline of plans for
bridging the gap separating high
schools and the university.
1T is my belief" he stated,
that, by supplying the support
required. we can enable those who
enter here to come of age in
pleasant and intellectually slim
ulating surroundings - surround
ings that will nourish in them
that sense of personal honor and
that devotion to scholarly achieve
ment for which this university
must always stand"
Discussing the university's build
ing program, Mr.. Darden COM
mented on new houses for students
on which construction costing
about 100000 is being started.
Adjacent to the houses will be
placed playing fields for intra-
mural sports, a feature Of under
graduate life which I hope to see
greatly enlarged" he said.
