Carr Attacks Fraternities
For Repressing Intellect
By James A. Inglis
Fraternities are decidedly stifling
and repressive to the student who
is in "the University for intellectual
reasons, in the opinion of Prof.
Lowell J. Carr, of the sociology de-
partment.-
In an interview yesterday Profes-
sor Carr expressed the desire that
the present deferred rushing storm
might be the cause for a complete
redefinition of the University's re-
lation to the fraternity as an insti-
tution. The assumption that Greek
letter organizations must be aided
and preserved in the present crisis
has been altogether too freely ac-
cepted on the part of campus lead-
ers and the "Daily," he asserted.\
The conventionalized stamp of
good manners and conformity which
a fraternity almost inevitably puts
upon a man acts as a distinct re -
pression of worthwhile intellectual
n hievement and originality. of
my personal acquaintance can be
counted on the fingers of one hand,"
he said.
Referring the whole question
back to the problem of the ultimate
end of a university education, he
brought but the fact that for every:
student enrolled in the University,
the taxpayers contribute more than
six hundred dollars annually. Will
the taxpayers be satisfied with an
institution which teaches students
the ritual of social behavior at the
expense of academic achievement;
would the taxpayers rather have a
student know which fork to use or
would they have the University
train leaders, Professor Carr asked.
Without expressing the opinion
that fraternities should be abol-
ished, he stated that freshmen
should be clearly warned against
the possible detrimental effects of a
fraternity connection.
