CONCERNING FRATERNITIES

Every Greek will be interested in a remarkable defense of the
American College fraternity which has been written by Andrew D .
White former president of Cornell University and American Am-
bassador to Germany. Written by a man of distinction and one of
the great educators of our country alone would give the article
weight, but the manner in which Dr. White takes every objection
to the fraternity system and riddles it is immense. The article is
convincing. I t is a complete answer to the legislator or any an-
tagonist, and i f you know any parents who are objecting to the
fraternity idea and you want to convert them a copy of this brochure
will do it. I t is published by the College Fraternity Reference
Bureau. A copy may be obtained by sending fifteen cents to
William C. Levere, Secretary, Box 254, Evanston, 111.

I have great respect for college fraternities. A wise and noted
college president answered the question, "What is the best product
of a college course?" by saying, "The friendships it has made!" He
was the wisest of men: there is nothing better than inspiring com-
radeship, and nothing has yet been discovered as a stimulator of
comradeship better than the fraternities of our college.

Kipling says:—"The strength of the lone wolf lies in the pack;
and the strength of the pack in the lone wolf". So, in the Greek
world the strength of the individual lies in his fraternity; and the
strength of the fraternity solely in the individual.

The fraternities are get-at-able; they are responsive to faculty
suggestions for good order and jealous for the repute of their
members.

I t may be interest in the fraternity instead of in the college, but
whatever the motive the result is the same; that which is good for
the college is good for the fraternity and vice versa.
