the social advantages of fraternity life without the necessary expense. The
college has rented the society a house at a nominal figure and fitted it up
with splendid equipment at their own expense. At Bowdoin 85 per cent of
the men belong to fraternities, and this new society will organize the re-
maining students into practically another fraternity unit. A significant fact
concerning this venture is that the agitation for it was started by frater-
nity men themselves, who saw the glaring inequality in social standing and
advantages existing previously. The best of feeling exists between fraternities
at present and this good feeling will be extended to the new society. Bowdoin
is working out the fraternity problem in an intelligent way and making them
count for much positive good in college life"—The Caduceus of K 2, quoted by

Nebraska has more women students than any university in the west or
middle west. Kansas has 8 4 6 ; Illinois, 8 4 3 ; Nebraska, 1,785. In the Phi
Beta Kappa election, which took place last week, thirty-one of the thirty-
eight students receiving the honor were women, but the highest average grade
was made by a man.
