In these days of anti-fraternity leg- islation, when we hear and read more rant and prejudiced attacks than we do sane and intelligent discussions, it is pleasing to find something which savors more of what is fair and square. From the editorial page of Wednesday's Bluffalo Express we take the following, which appeared utnder the caption "Greek Letter Societies:" "The problem of Greek letter soci- eties, bouse and other clubs has been taken up by the faculty of the Univer- sity of Michigan iih a manner which promises general improvement in a number of directions. A careful in- vestigation, in which the faculty com- mittee was assisted by the leading so- cieties has shown the need, it is said, for various reforms, but especially improvempnts in scholarship. Too many sqcial and other outside under- takings it appears, have interfered with university work. "The results of the investigation at the University of Michigan are simi- lar to those reached through' investi- gations elsewhere. The society sys- tem is essentially as useful an institu-. tion now as it ever was. What evils have developed in recent years can be corrected without abolishing the system if the alumni and undergradu- ate members will cooperate in the work of improvement. One of the propositions tentatively made in respect to the Michigan inves- tigation is that a certain number of university credits. obtained through ac- tual university residence be required before a student is eligible to mem- bership. This recommendation prob- ably will be more vigorously opposed than any other, as it will be looked up- on as tending to destroy family and other lines in society membership, but it is based on the merit idea and is commendable because of that. There is too much tendency to invite men to join societies because of varou- rec- ommendations outside of merit and general capability. "It might be a good plan for the sor cieties themselves to delay the matter of elections to membership until the end of the freshmen year. There prob- ably will be few members of Greek let- ter societies who will not agree that such members as have been elected in their sophomore or higher years have proved to be, practically without ex- ception, unusually strong members. These students have had a year or more experience of college or univer- sity life. The first year of this life is upsetting to a good many youths, and that is the kind which would better be kept out of Greek letter and other so- cieties. They are the only ones who bring trouble to these organizations. j5f 94orq95 4cs,? Coo v CO., AA mRSROYM. For Sale in Ann Arbor by Wagne Co. CAMPUS IN BRIEF. Prof. 0. S.
