FOURTH SESSION

The f o u r t h session was called to order by the chairman Saturday
morning, October 19th, 1912, at 9 o'clock. A petition from the
Michigan Pan-Hellenic was presented, asking that a dispensation
permitting the pledging of H i g h School seniors be granted them f o r
two years, and stating that after that period it would be unnecessary.
A thorough discussion of the matter resulted in a vote refusing the
dispensation. A motion was then carried to turn the petition over
to the Grand Presidents of the fraternities represented in Michigan.
The Grand Presidents have granted the dispensation for two years,
with the understanding that i t shall never be asked f o r again.

Moved and carried that delegates be instructed to request their
fraternities to f o r w a r d the National Pan-Hellenic dues of $10.00
as soon as possible to the new treasurer, M r s . E . N . Parmelee, 7318
N . Ashland Blvd., Chicago, Illinois.

The meeting then adjourned in order to catch a train for Evanston
where the Pan-Hellenic banquet was to be held in the new gym-
nasium. A report of this luncheon appears below.

The Eleventh National Pan-Hellenic Congress was, like its pre-
decessors, notable f o r the friendliness of its atmosphere, and the
trenchancy of its discussions.
