Bred for a moment as a respect to the I
memory of the man who was the head
of the University during the major
part of their careers here, Marion Le-
Roy Burton, President Clarence Cook
Little lauded his predecessor in the
opening remarks of his address at the
Swing-out ceremonies yesterday after-
noon in Hill auditorium.
"The triumph of your social obliga-
tion over self is the highest achieve-
ment you can ever expect to accom-
plish," President Little went on to tell
the seniors. "What is it you have in
common, what is it that unites you in
life?" he questioned, "it is, that in the
present generation, educated men and
women are on the edge of a social
point ofrview-selfish, individual view-
points are for the past.
"Insofar as you have lived a part of
this University, you can never leave
It; you can never leave Michigan,"
President Little continued. "Now is
the lowest ebb of your feeling to your
alma mater; the spirit will begin to
rise as soon as you leave here, and
continue from then on.
"You have in you. power of infinite'
good," the President told the seniors.
"If there is one thing that I would like
to leave with this afternoon, it is
this: so live during the next month
so think, and so consecrate yourselves
to this University, that you might be
a living exponent of what you want
for the classes to come"
Long, flowing gowns,-dark tassels,
bright tassels, yellow, red, orange, and
blue tassels,-and colored, graceful
hoods, all formed a part of the wind-
ing procession that filed into the side
entrance of Hill auditorium yesterday
from the Library. The Varsity >and
played from the beginning of the
march at thehLibrary until the last
group had entered the auditorium.
Harry G. Messer, president of the
class, who presided at the ceremonies,
led the two-columned procession with F
Kenneth C. Kellar, president of the
Student council.
Rev. Henry Lewis, rector of, St.
Andrews' Episcopal church, delivered
the invocation at the assembly. The
organ selections were played by Philip
E. La Rowe, SofM. Singing of "The
Yellow and Blue" preceded the reces-
sional, after which the seniors march-
ed out of the main entrance across the
campus, and finally ended up on the
steps of the Library where pictures
of the classes were taken.
This was the first official appearance
of the seniors in their caps and gowns.
The garb will be worn today and each
Wednesday following until Commence-
ment on June 14.
Fresh Air Fund
Tag Sale Raises
$450 On Campusl
Contributions totalling more than
$450 were made yesterday to the Fresh
Air camp fund by students and towns- 
people who bought tags on the cam-
pus. This figure is not quite as high
as that of last year, but it is expected
that the contribution of the organiza-
tions, which is not included in the
above figure, will be larger than last

year due to the new method of solicit-
ing them.
All houses are requested to send in
their donations to the chairman of the
Fresh Air camp drive as soon as pos-I
sible so that an accurate reckoning
can be made. The combined dona-
tions of organizations and indepen-
dents last year amounted to more than
$1,200 -and the committee expects that
This year's total will exceed that.
Members of Kappa Phi will present
a play, "The Valiant" by Halworthy
Hall at 8 o'clock tomorrow night in
Wesley hall. The cast includes Mar-
garet Feair, '27, Earl Sawyer, '27,
George Douglass, ,'26, and Donald
Timerman, '26. A moving picture of
Aesops fables will also be shown,
after which the audience will descend
to the "Bohemian Restaurant" in the
basement for refreshments.

Committees Report In Second
Meeting Of Fraternity Alumni


Reports on fraternity scholarship,
deferred rushing and pledging, the
liquor problem, and permanent or-j
ganization occupied the second meet-
ting of the fraternity alumni of the
University, which was held last night
at the Union.
The committee on prohibition en-
forcement, of which M. Hewitt
O'Brien, '98, was chairman, reported
that in the opinion of the committee
the responsibility of enforcement of
the prohibition law rests primarilyl
with the national and local officers.
The report suggested that the threat,
of padlocking a fraternity which rep-!
resented a considerable investment on
the part of the alumni might be suf-
ficient to force the alumni body tof
demand more strict observance of the
rules. "The methods to be used should
be persuasive, rather than compul-
sive," the report stated. A motion to
accept the report and place it on file
was carried.
Delos Smith, '17, gave the report of

F I

J

the committee on scholarship, oi
which he was chairman. The report
proposed that social honors be given
only to fraternities on the upper 25
per cent of the fraternity scholarship
rating and that elective honors be
given only to members of these fra-
ternities. It also provided that ap-
pointments from fraternity men must
go to those in the upper half of their
respective fraternities in regard to
scholarship. The motion that the
sense of the meeting was to approve
the report was carried.j
The committee on deferred pledging
suggested that the Inter-fraternity
council reconsider the question of de-
ferred pledging, since the committee!
had found that such plans have suc-
ceeded in other universities.
Mr. O'Brien then gave the report of
the work of the committee on perma-i
nentworganization and it was decided
to notify the various fraternity alumni
associations of the proposed consti-
tution and ask them to accept by mail.

mittee. Dean Henry M. Bates of the

that evening. Tours of the campus
will be made Saturday morning and

the general fraternities on the campus,
for the first semester of the current
school year, as announced yesterday
from the office of the dean of students,1
shows a distinct improvement over the
standings on the chart issued last fall
to cover the two semesters of 1924-25.
Phi Kappa Sigma holds the first po-
sition with an average of 79.3, as
against a leading average of 77.2 held
last year by Kappa Nu. There are ten
fraternities with an average of better
than 76 forlast semester, as com-
pared to five with this standing on
the previous record. The system used
in compiling th'e results is the same
as has been used in other years, 85.00
being accEpted as a straight "B"
grade. The first ten fraternities with
their averages follow:
Phi Kappa Sigma, 79.3; Sigma Phi
Epsilon, 78.1; Pi Kappa Alpha, 78.06;
Chi Psi, 77.4; Tau Kappa Epsilon,
77.1; Delta Tau Delta, 77.1; Delta Tau
F Upsilon, 76.9; Phi Sigma Delta, 76.6;
Phi Sigma Kappa, 76.2; and Pi Lamb-
da Psi, 76.04.
The other fraternities followed in
the order named: Theta Chi, Kappa
Delta Rho, Zeta Beta Tau, Trigon,
I Delta Phi, Delta Alpha Epsilon, Phi
Epsilon Pi, Kappa Nu, Lambda Chi
Alpha, Phi Mu Alpha, Sigma Phi, Al-4
lpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Lambda.
E Beta Theta Pi, Kappa Sigma, Theta
Delta Chi, Delta Sigma Phi, Phi Kap-
pa Psi, Sigma Nu, Delta Upsilon, Al-
pha Chi Rho, Acacia, Sigma Alpha Ep-
silon, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Phi Kap-
pa Tau, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Mu
Delta, Chi Phi, Delta Chi, Tau Epsilon
Phi, Gamma Sigma, Alpha Sigma Phi,
Sigma Pi, Phi Kappa, Phi Beta Delta,

Omega, and Sigma Chi. The following1
fraternities had an average below
70: Sigma Alpha Mu, Omega Psi Phi,
Tau Delta Phi, Psi Upsilon, Phi Del-;
ta Theta, Theta Kappa Nu and Al-
pha Delta Phi.
All three of the leaders of last year
have dropped considerably, Kappa Nu
the former top house now holding
22nd place, while Delta Alpha Epsi-
lon and Zeta Beta Tau who held sec-1
ond and third on the former rating
are now in the 16th and 13th posi-
tions respectively.
