Second thoughts, theysay, are best.
Dryden.
Some forms of loud-sounding college
loyalty are offensive. And, by the
way, it is no longer considered good
form to use Budweiser in toasting
"dear old Nebraska."
? Would these lines were prophetic:
"Till the war-drum throbbed no longer,
and the battle-flags were furled
In the Parliament of man, the Federa
tion of the world.
"Then the commonsense of most shall
hold a fretful realm in awe
And the kindly earth shall slumber,
lapt in universal law."
ANTI-FRATERNITY BILL.
A prominent member of the last
legislature declared that if lie was
again elected he proposed to introduce
a bill abolishing fraternities. Recent
information is that he will be elected.
Whatever may be our private opin
ion of the fraternity system, the fact
remains that this legislator has good
precedent for his action. Anti-fraternity
legislation is threatening in
many states. Fraternities at present
are prohibited at Princeton Univer
sity, Oberlin College, Monmouth Col
lege, Virginia Military Institute, Vir
ginia Polytechnic Institute, Emory
and Henry College, Lake Forest Col
lege, Wofford College, Furman Univer
sity, Erskine College, Trinity Univer
sity, Clem8en College, the University
of South Carolina, and lately the state
universities of Mississippi. Fraterni
ties at some time or other have ex
isted at all these institutions except
Oberlin, Clemsen and two state
schools in Mississippi.
It is time the fraternities were put
ting on their very best behavior. The
assertion is often made that fraternity
men are "mediocre good-fellows."
The sororities have bt-en charged with
being hotbeds of snobbishness. But
there is anot'ner side. .It is a pleas
ure to note that the Inter-fraternity
Council, under the leadership of Pro
fessor Buck, has begun an effective
campaign to raise the scholarship of
fraternity freshmen. Another very
creditable thing is that In the last
couple of years the test for member
ship has been shifting from social
compatibility to one of character and
possibly of future achievement.
To have the hearty approval of the
public the Greek-letter societies must
stand, not only in theory, but In prac
tice, for scholarship, for clean living,
for democracy.
COPIES OF MIDWEST
QUARTERLY NOW OUT
Published at Nebraska Contributed
to by Prominent Educators From
the East and West.
The first number of tine "Midwest
Quarterly" for this year the October
number which was issued recently,
is one of the strongest numbers of the
Quarterly since It was. established a
year ago. It is edited by Professor
Philo N Buck, in the absence of Prof.
P. H. Frye, who has been detained in
Europe, and is now on the Atlantic.
The contents, which follows, lists the
names of some of the foremost east
ern and western men of letters:
"Plato's Political Ideals," P. H. Frye,
University of Nebraska; "Jean Fran
cois Millet," George M. Gould,, At
lantic City, N. J.; "Lionel Johnson,"
T. K. Whipple, Princeton University;
"Theories of Cosmic Evolution," G. D.
Sweezey, University of Nebraska;
"Charlies Pierce at John Hopkins,"
Ellery W. Davis, University of Ne
braska; "The Qualities of Browning,'
Henry T. Baker, New York City;
"Literature and the New Anti-Intel
lectualism," Philo M. Buck, University
of Nebraska.
The "Midwest Quarterly" was estab-
lish'ed here at Nebraska a year ago,
with the idea of affording a medium for
the development of general ideas and
"intellectual criticism." Immediately
upon its appearance it was recognized
by men of letters throughout the coun
try, who realized the need of such a
review. Great credit is due Professors
Buck, Frye and Alexander, who,
through the Quarterly have established
a place for the University of Nebraska
in the field of literary review and
criticism.
