320 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

The interfraternity conference is excellent; it harmonizes and
standardizes the fraternities; it gives the sanity of more mature and
wiser men; what the alumni say, goes, not always, but generally, and
men become wise when they go out of college.

I get letters from the heads of fraternities, and they are wise
and sympathetic; they counsel the best things; they are confidential
and they stand for the best; it is a wise plan for supervision.

Yours very truly,

A L M O N GUNNISON, President,

St. Lawrence University.

In regard to the prizes offered by fraternities Dr. Dixon said that
in some institutions objections have been raised against fraternities,
but that Newcomb a spirit of harmony exists among the fraternities
themselves and between fraternities and the rest of the college. The
spirit of exclusiveness so evident in many colleges is entirely want-
ing at Newcomb. Nowhere is there a larger and truer spirit of
democracy. For this reason fraternities at Newcomb, instead of
being a menace to peace, are a benefit to the college and to the
students.
