Wide range of patterns to FRATS SHOULD BE OPEN T0 SCHOEARS High Rating Should Not Be Bar to Entrance, Says Bill Hanover, N. H,, TFeb. 16.-—High gcholarship ought not to be a bar to college fraternity membership, in the opinion of . Gordon “Bill, dean of| freshmen at Dartmouth college. “In order to kegp young,” he has written in a letter to The Dartmouth, the college daily newspaper, “I have ridden a hobby for several academic years, and I have exhibited it on every | possible occasion to admiring but non-purchasing fraternity groups. This | hiobby is the thesis that in consid- | ering possible fraternity material, high | ccholarship should be considered an | ‘activity.! In other words, it,is a plea to place high schotarship on the same plane with sweeping gymnasi handling grounders or singing divine- iy, At present if a man possesses suf- ficient fat to float far, or suitable an- | cestors o allow him to Jug a lucky leg before footlights, he is immediate- ly up for fraternity consideration; but| if by the middle of his first semester | he is known to be possessed of ex-| ceptionally large mental capacity, he is apt to be avoided without investi- gation. “These boys who high scholarship early in their course arc almost invariably shiy and retir-| ing. They lack exactly what fraterni- | ties can give them, and herein one of the sfinest opportunities that our fraternifies have. When warmed | by social contacts, their associates| scon wonder how they could have been considered ‘glooms’ by those who did not know them. “I have ‘nothing whatever against athletic ability, social address or the innocuous but popular ability not to offend anyone, nor to say anything with which anyone could possibly dis- ugree, as signals for fraternity inves- tigations, but I think it absurd that markedly high scholarship is not universally considered as presumptive evidence of worthiness for fraternity consideration é show markedly | f lies | ei £0 {ei % fiefinnny Meets Her Debt On Belgian Reparations Brussels, Feb. 16.—German treas- connection ons were raet ‘when they fell!
