The sixth annual Pan Hellenic Banquet held in February was in every way a complete success. The Pan Hellenic spirit is becoming more and more prevalent, and never before were inter-fraternity relations more harmonious than at present. We note with pleasure the increased interest taken in L arcs y duction of a series of inter-fraternity ball games has proved valuable in bringing out talent for the University ' ' ' h t l . t it and teams. The Athletic Association has recently been reolganized on a basis that does muc o e eva e Atll t' b ' both students and Faculty. The intro- plaee it above factional strife. With these brief explanations and a deep solioitude for the continued welfare of the University we leave you to the tender mercies of THE MIRAGE. l9l 96521535 4465-gasses

usual design of the fraternity, is added a plate including an excellent portrait of every member of the chap- ter. We are pleased to present elegant 17Ol't1'1lltS ofthe president and deans of the various departments. There are also a number of handsome plates of various organizations more or less closely identified with the interests of the university. The artistic and literary features of the work are unique and need no comment. No MIRAGE appeared last year. No one was disappointed however for it is a well known fact in most Methodist institutions that men do not gather figs of thistlcs. There is but one case on record and that some- where in Genesis where we have .wnncthing 1-mniozg out of ozotlziny, and no one dreamed for a- single instant that this great law would be violated in the case of '92, True they blustered around in their usual boisterous and meaningless manner and openly avowed their intention to generate a BIIRAGE, but when they ascertained that energy, pluck, brains and money were necessary for such an enterprise they quietly relapsed into their former l:'Il'Il0lf'lt0llaf clcsiufhulc. To our friends with whom we seem to have taken considerable liberty, we would say: Keep cool, do not fly into a passion and vent your spleen in violent and useless railings against the editors, but bear it calmly and philosophically. Remember that we are simply endeavoring to assist you in seeing yourselves as others do and console yourselves with the refiection that 'tis better to be mentioned and to be damned than never have been mentioned at all. Above all do not peut and sulk over imaginary wrong and seek revenge in boycotting the lNIIRAui: but remember rather that you are Ialmswl when men shall revilc you and say all manner of evil against you falsely, and that you are taught to pay those who despitefull y use you, pay mul curse 'not We rejoice in the increased interest manifested by our people in educational ll11ltt01'S,lll the advancement made by American colleges generally, and in the continued unparalleled prosperity of our own institution in particular. The higher plane now held by DePauw, the increased number of her students, and the thorough- ness and efhcicney that characterize their work best bespeak the wisdom and success of the new administra- tive policy. i A number of changes have occurred in the Faculty. We congratulate the University on having at last discovered that something more than a magic la'nlvrn is rcqui1'ed to keep up the department of physics, and upon having secured a man like Prof. Naylor, broad, liberal and b1'ainy to fill that position. We believe that greater good will accrue to the student of subjects political and historical from the pursuit of laboratory methods and original investigation than from parrot-like recitations from an inferior author. We believe that the University sustained a great loss in allowing Profs. Carhart and Jenkins to be taken from it and we heartily condemn a financial policy tl1at does not guard against such misfortunes in the future. The recent acquisitions to the Faculty have been as follows: Profs. Bronson and Wilkerson in the dc- partment of Englishg Prof. Underwood in Botanyg Prof. Norman in Biologyg Profs. Manning and Iglehart in department of Modern Languagesg Dean Mason in the Law Schoolg Profs. Dotey, Conklin, Moore and Higdon in the Preparatory Schoolg and Profs. Dahl, Burmeister, Jones and Webster in the School of Music. In the fraternity world a new society-Sigma Nu-has appeared and established itself on firm footing. DePauw now has nine fraternities and four sororities, and if 1'llll1Ol' may be credited a fifth will soon be added. Let the good work go on. l3l
