58 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

A Pan-Hellenic was organized in Portland, Ore. in the winter
of 1905 by representatives from Delta Gamma, Kappa Kappa
Gamma and Alpha Phi. There are now ten sororities represented
with a membership of eighty. Meetings are held monthly and are
purely social in nature. Sometimes a luncheon or tea is given and
once a year a large card party is held. Officers are elected by accla-
mation. One year sewing was done for the Baby Home and
another year a subscription was raised for furniture for the new
Y. VV. C. A. building.

T o DRAGMA is indebted to The Arrow of Pi Beta Phi for the fol-
lowing interesting items:

As a punishment for flunking, the students at the University of Colorado
must wear small blue caps, with green buttons.

The faculty of Dickinson College have decided to give college credit for
work done in intersociety and intercollegiate debates.

The faculty of the University of Michigan is considering the matter of
giving credit for work on students' publications.

At the University of Minnesota a prize of ten dollars is being offered
to the student who made the most money during last summer vacation.

To advertise the university, all members of the freshman rhetoric classes
at Kansas are required to write articles concerning the institution to the home
newspapers.

There are occasional instances where the faculty makes it easy for a chap-
ter to acquire a house. At Lafayette College the trustees have agreed when a
chapter has raised, in cash and approved subscriptions, one-half the cost of the
proposed house, to assign it a lot on the campus, at a nominal rental, and
loan at interest the other half of the cost.—Garnet and White of Alpha Chi
Rho. Quoted by Alpha Phi.

I n Yale Phi Beta Kappa elects to membership those who have an average
standing of 330 on the work during the junior and senior years, 400 being
the maximum.—Lyre of Alpha Chi Omega.

The establishment of a national dramatic fraternity is being considered at
the University of Nebraska.—Lyre of Alpha Chi Omega.

A new woman's college in Connecticut:

New London, Conn.—The establishing of a woman's college in this city was
assured by the announcement last night that an endowment fund of $134."
824.41 has been raised by voluntary subscription. The largest single gift was
$25,000 from Morton F . Plant. In order to secure the college the city fur-
nished a site and an endowment of $100,000.—Key of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Smith College is to publish a weekly paper. This is the first attempt, a
monthly being the only previous undertaking in the line of publications.—Key
of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Delta Upsilon has the largest number of Rhodes scholars at Oxford Uni-
versity with a total of twenty-two. Of these Harvard has furnished four.—
