wants to." The attic was dark and there were cobwebs under the
slanting roof. Was that a long something wrapped in a dark shawl? Her
eight-year-old heart was pounding loudly, but—"She wants to."

"Frederika, darling, you must look out for your little sisters."

Mummy's voice! She was a soldier no longer. For the first time, she
sobbed. "Oh, Mummy—" as she flung herself among the cobwebs.

Frederika doesn't remember anything more.

AND these few precepts in thy memory" began Polonius as he gave
his blessing to the departing Laertes, and so we begin as we welcome
a new college year full of fraternity friendships and adventures. May we
take up the responsibilities which we have assumed as well as the privi-
leges and bring them all nearer our goal of inter-fraternalism as we dedi-
cate ourselves again to another year of service.

Inform yourself! Can you imagine how almost Utopian i t would be
if every fraternity member knew, completely and understandingly, the
Panhellenic Creed, the Interfraternity Compact, the Standards of Ethical
Conduct, and along with these was accurately and honestly informed on
Panhellenic regulations generally and specifically? These are all easy to
comprehend, just as easy to practice, if only we bring a willingness of
spirit and an eagerness to do one's part. The new manual of information
gives in condensed form this information which should intensify your fra-
ternity loyalty and interest and which will bring you into closer touch
with the progress and expansion of fraternity life.

Be faithful! What a world of living depends upon that word! Will
you be true to the ideals and purposes of your university and your frater-
nity? Will you be steadfast in fairness, honesty, and justice? Will you
be sincere in all your relationships one with another? Will you strive
for simplicity which is the essence of good breeding? Will you uphold
'dignity and womanliness in word and deed? I f so, then a large prob-
lem in rushing will be solved and more opportunity will be given for
the natural attraction of personalities and characters.

Cooperate! Xo goal is reached through individual effort, but rather
through consistent working, and playing, together. In whatever we at-
tempt remember that the truest results and the greatest success are mea-
sured in terms of cooperation. The very connotation of the word "Pan-
hellenic" implies cooperation. Let us concentrate upon i t , this year!
**t us climb together hand in hand!

As we think of these things, and as we achieve knowledge, loyalty, and
unity, let us keep before us the summary of "these few precepts" as given
I n the closing words of that famous farewell,

This abvve all else: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
