fthe Scarlet Rag -XX Neutrals Although Fraternal Life is looked upon by many as the keynote of College Life one-half of the student body of any institution is essentially what is known as Neutral. Perhaps the best delinition of this body has been expressed as fol- lows: Never Entirely United To Really Assert Latent Strength To those who have not been privileged to join any of the fraternal organi- zations of our college, we merely express our appreciation for their coopera- tion in making relationships between the societies and the student body har- monious. A great deal of the success of fraternal life depends upon the atti- tude of the Neutrals toward the individual organizations. The fraternities of the college extend their thanks to the Neutrals for their fraternal cooperation. fPage 1191
