Although snow often brings anguish to the traveler on South Mountain, it cloaks the campus in an elegant mantle — surpassed only by the lush Spring greenery. and fraternities are also occasional evidences of the student vitality and enthusiasm which strengthen our school and our pride in it. Lehigh ' s residence hall sections have made strides in their attempt to regulate and educate their member- ships, transforming a heterogeneous group of dorm men to a mature self-directed group of con- tributors to the general betterment of the Uni- versity.

For their members, course societies are a taste of professional careers. Engineers in all fields are able to join these groups, to sample the latest in technological improvements, and to see the slickest and most modern of new plants.
