Dean's Chart Shows Averages o
Students Over Nine Year
s p Period
FRATERNITIES MAKE INCREASE
OVER STANDING OF LAST YEAR
SchoLastic average of University
. sororities was lower during the past
year than at any time since the in-
ception of the scholarship chart in
1914, according to the latest issue cov-
ering a period of nine years from the
ofilce of J. A. Bursley, dean of stu-
dents. The average for general fra-
ternities showed an increase of .1 pei
cent over last year's standings, 71
per cent which was the lowest mark
ever held by this group of campus or-
ganizations. .Professional fraternities
achieved a slight increase over past
years' standings.
The average for all fraternities for
1922-23 was 72.7 per cent, while the
of independent men was 70.1 per cent,
making an average for all men of
« 71 per cent. This average is consid-
erably lower than that of all women
in the University as has been the case
for many years. The average of the
-entire University is 72.4 per cent while
that for all fraternal organizations,
including sororities, professional and
non-professional, is 74 per cent. All
'independents are 2.5 per cent below
this figure.
Professional fraternities rank more
than four points above fraternities of
a purely social nature in the general
scholarship average for the year. Pro-
fessional sororities, however, main-
tamed a standard which is consider-
ably lower than that of the average
for 'general sororities.
Phi Mu Alpha lead all general fra-
trnities with an average of 772 per
cent. Over the whole period of years
from 194 on, Phi Sigma Kappa has
had the most consistent high average .
though it .has held first place only
once in this time. Kappa Beta Psi
and Trigon are the only organizations
t. hold first place twice they having
had the monopoly of this position .
from the fall of 1916 until the ,fall
of 1920. Phi Delta Phi held first place
among tlie professional fraternities for
three consecutive years beginning in
1914.
General, sororities are headed by Al-
pha Phi with an average of 84.2 per
cent. This is the first time this or-
ganization has held the position. Col-.
legiate Sorosis has the highest aver-
age for the whole period having been
in first place six times in the ten years
during which the charts have been
issued.

"Drama originated in the church and
there is ,.no reason why it should not
come back to the church.".
With this in view the Inter-shurch
Drama league aims to , encourage and
promote dramatic work on a larger
scale than would otherwise be possi-
ble. It, is hoped that by consolidating
the talents and resources drawn from
several denominations an organization
may be formed which, will be stronger
