Grounding itself in the theory that good fellowship is more than a mere collegiate goodtime, Acacia, based on Masonry, has earnestly tried to live up to its pledge: To pre- pare themselves as educated men to take a more active part in the affairs of the community in which they may reside. These fellows are an active bunch, taking part in a variety of campus activities. Leon Meyer is past president of the Inter- fraternity Council, and George Heineman is that organization's vice-president. George Jensen took over the presidency of Student Congress, while Carl Simonson, Jim White, and Bob Kittredge have pushed out in their field of interests. Re- membering that after all we are here for an education, the Acacians cemented the idea by hitting the books hard enough to knock them into a third place stand- ing in the scholastic rating of the fraternities on the Northwestern campus. As a matter of fact, over a period of fifteen years, Acacia has held the highest schol- astic average of N.U. fraternities. Studying is okay-but social life is a vital necessity, quoth the Acacians. The house is noted for its tea dances and certainly formals, tea-dinners, and house parties are a highlight on the social calendar. The history of Acacia, and particularly that of the Northwestern chapter, is unusual and interesting. The twenty-five chapters--located throughout the country-are only in universities. The fraternity was founded at the University of Michigan in 1897. The chapter at Northwestern was founded first on the Chicago campus in 1910. Ten years later it was moved out to Evanston. Since 1933 Acacia has abandoned its Masonic requirements for membership, but has retained the basic ideals of fellowship of the Masonic order and the Acacians are able to take their place in the com- munity in which they live. 14
