Fraternity. L' VVhen friendship, love and truth abound Among a band of brothers, The cup of joy goes gaily roundg Each shares the bliss of othersg Sweet roses grace the thorny way Along this vale of sorrow 5 The flowers that shed their leaves to-day Will bloom again to-morrow. RATERNITIES have been in the American college world for over half a centuryg in that time combatting prejudices and supplanting aversions, establishing approval and enthusiasm. Begun in the early part of the century, they were under suspicion as hotbeds of all kinds of diabolical things, for in those days secret societies were considered necessarily revolutionary and the distinguished gentlemen at the head feared that the power ofthe ferrule would in some way be diminished if these organizations were continued. One gray-haired pedagogue is quoted as saying : Gen- tlemen, these organizations with their mysterious rites and symbols are a menace 3 We are on the verge of a revival of things savoring of the Inquisition. Evidently, the professor would not have been the loser for a little private inquisition into the objects of these dreaded bands, as their secrecy is but the unwillingness to have their transac- tions and procedure made the object of gossip and inquisitivenessg their rights and ceremonies but the solemnization of friendship and the purpose of awakening serious endeavor g their symbols merely the sign of culture and scholarship for which they strive. VVhat could be simpler, grander? Fraternities have come to stay. The quondam dreaded originators have become college presidents and trustees themselves. They know that only the highest ends of brotherly love and mutual benefit prompt the hearts of the fraternity membersg that in their oaths and rituals the most solemn obligations are assumed to be gentlemen and brothers, I7 02 I
