The Uni- versity Road winds around tlie northern frontier of the exploited tract, confined by a low wall Of stone over which a student tardy to a lecture can leap with an agile bound. The inhabited territory outside the University proper has expanded so rapidly that it now holds the center of population. It contains many private boarding houses and residences, and in the Reneau UA CRIME ITSELF AND THE SCENE OF CRIMES section adjacent to Preston Heights, a suburb of mushrcom growth, are located most of the fraternity houses. Twenty-one of these organizations out of the twenty-three with extant 'chapters have comfortable and convenient homes, ranging in size from the companionable Chi Phi bungalow to the large and commodious buildings of Kappa Sigma, Delta Tau Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, Delta Psi, and Phi Kappa Sigma. A road is being opened up around Carr,s Hill, and it will soon be fringed with other pretentious fraternity houses, to be built of masonry on plans approved by the official landscape gardener. The Delta Kappa Epsilon and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternities have been granted sites on the roadway, and applications have been filed by Chi Phi, Phi Delta Theta, and Phi Kappa Psi. g s V The last named has determined to abandon its present home, St. Peter's Hall, which has been pur- chased by the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity. These buildings add greatly to the classical beauty of the University, and the prospect- ive homesteader is encouraged by the authorities. The new houses will be on the side of Carr,s Hill facing Lambeth Field, as fine an athletic field as can be found anywhere, flanked by concrete blea-chers and grandstand built NDOWN THE WST Holsinger into a surrounding hill.
