TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 313

From the Report of Committee on Extension.

"Under present constitution there are no other fraternities than the eighteen
now in the Congress that are eligible to membership."

E V A R. H A L L , Kappa Alpha Theta.

From the Report of Committee on Uniform Scholarship Blanks.

This Committee submitted a u n i f o r m blank which the Congress voted to
adopt. Its use is not obligatory but i t was the general opinion of the
delegates that the use of such a card would greatly simplify the work of the
university officials who are without exception exceedingly courteous and k i n d
in giving the desired data. Arrangements have been made with the Banta
Publishing Co., Menasha, Wis., to keep these forms in stock at the f o l l o w i n g
prices:

25 copies—30 cents
50 copies—50 cents
100 copies—90 cents
500 copies—$4.00
1000 copies—$7.50

Orders should be sent directly to the Banta Publishing Co., and the prices

include the cost o f sending.

The scholarship blank is inserted in the Bulletin.

L U L A K I N G B I G E L O W , Alpha Omicron Pi.

From the Report of Committee on Uniform Scholarship Blanks.

The 1912 Congress thought an investigation o f interfraternity organizations
desirable, and appointed a committee, consisting of Kappa Delta (Chairman),

A l p h a Gamma Delta and Alpha X i Delta to conduct such an investigation.
The committee sent out questionnaires through the Congress delegates, and
arranged the information thus collected. As some colleges d i d not send
in any information, this report is necessarily incomplete; but it is hoped

that such information as it gives may throw some light on a perplexing
question.

The institutions reporting the existence of interfraternity organizations o f
a social, honorary or philanthropic character, are as f o l l o w s :

University of Arkansas. Colby.
Butler College. University of Colorado.

University of California. De Pauw.
University of S. California. Oklahoma.

George Washington University. Oregon.
Goucher College. Randolph-Macon.
Judson College. Stanford.
Lombard College. Texas.

Middlebury. Transylvania.
Minnesota. Wesleyan.
Mt. Union. Wisconsin.
Cincinnati.

Summary. I t w i l l be seen that these societies differ greatly in size, purpose,
and effect on the college community. Some of them, especially those which
are not secret or are purely honorary in character, seem to have made them-
selves respected. Others, these perhaps the m a j o r i t y , have no serious reason
for their existence, and create a certain amount of hard feeling, which is
