The Acacia fraternity was founded at the University of Nlichigan in 1904 by a group that had previously been organized as a Nlasonic Club since 1895. The plans for a national collegiate Nlasonic or- ganization were laid by more enterprising members to revive interest in the group. The Hrst afhliates of Acacia were men who had previously been connected with other fraternities but, having become dis- saisfied, were attracted to this new group by the high ideals of lVlasonry it sought to instill. The doctrines of DeMolay, pre- Nlasonic order, are perpetuated in Acacia, with encouragement to afhliate with the Nlasonic order after graduation from college. llaving been a petitioning body known as the Oklahoma Nlasonic Club, dating from 1914, the University chapter of Acacia was chartered May 1, 1920. The apex of Acacian hilarious happi- ness is achieved the night of the Griental liall, when the chapter house resembles a Chinese castle, and the members resemble anything from mandarins to coolies . . . Six years ago a blond, tow-headed lad moved into the house and has been there ever since, Working for this year when he gets his degreeg yes, Lindsey Long gradu- ates . . . Tho' wrestler Ben Young has been able to pin many a sturdy lad on the mat, his greatest thrill was pinning pretty Buena Huskey . . . Max Rogers swears by the Andrews Sisters, whom he idolizes despite Bud Rice's entreating efforts to convince him there is no music like that of the Varsity Club's . . . Bud's trumpet is his soul-mate . . . Harley Ivy plays and fiddles, while, paradoxically, his cold briefs burn . . . Max Rogers is so devoted to the celulloid-ball game he wishes his hands were ping pong paddles. Page 132

versity otlicials have resulted in the aboli- tion of the practice of Hell VVeek and in the setting up Oli certain standards of scholarship to which the member Frater- nities must adhere. ln line with this lat- tcr purpose, the Council annually presents two loving cups for scholarship-one for both large and small houses. Awards for outstanding ability in ath- letics and in the annual fraternity sing are also made by the Council. ln its athletic program, the Council works in accord with the University intra-mural ollicials and seeks to encourage participation by the liraternities in all intramural events. The influence exerted by the Council is felt by every man who wears a fraternity pin. These men, as well as others not af- liliated with a Greek order, know and rec- ognize the fact that the lnter-fraternity Council has done probably more than any other organization to bring about the suc- cess which the fraternity as an American collegiate institution enjoys.
