A REPLY
In the letter which appeared in
the Student Opinion column yester
day morning there are two arjru
ments advanced in the def Ase of the
clans organizations which call for
refutation.
The writer contends, in the first
place, that these organizations are
really hororary because when a man
is elected to one of them he has
been "honored" by his own frater
nity. As a matter of fact the fra
ternities, in many cases, do not
choose the men who are to represent
them in the class societies. They are
chosen by the individuals who hap
pen to be already in the organiza
tion. These choices, made by indi
viduals, are frequently governed by
such individual motives as personal
friendship. Even if it were true
that the fraternity elected its repre
sentatives, this would not prove that
the societies were honorary. It is
possible, and rather probable, that
the results of the fraternity elec
tions "would be determined by other
factors than the merits of candidates.
In that cate the class societies might
be representive ; they would not be
honorary in the true sense of the
word.
Wm. C. attempts to make a second
point by pointing out the value
which he says is to be found - in
"mutual association." The editor
hopes that he is not too much in
clined to underestimate the sen
timental values of life, but he is
unable to follow the writer in his
treatment of this pleasing but some
what irrational abstraction. If he
means that the class societies have
a social value, this is readily admit
ted. That does not, however, justify
their' existence as honoraries.
administrative and social side, and
where the aims of student govern
ment have been accotnj lished with
the least possible friction, the oppor
tunity for extra-curricular training
is at its maximum. Free plr.y is
given to most every worthy talent
and the expression of natural ability
is untrammi'ed by antagonistic in
fluences. And of course this is as it
should be.
At the present time we are about
to enter upon our annual political
season. Candidates have already
come forth for positions on the Ath
letic Council and in another week
candidates will be in the field for the
general Student Body offices. ' These
men have a wonderful opportunity
before them for education in the
school of politics. Though, to ' be
sure, their political activity will be
rather limited, nevertheless the same
conditions will be faced by them as
in the broader field of politics. Our
squure acre of civilization is endowed
with the same traits and characters
tics ns society at large, only lacking
perhaps the more pronounced tenden
cies which characterize the more ma
ture in years.
Polities it is oft repeated are
"dirty." We usually conceive a poll
tician ns a sneaking, low-principled,
deceitful scoundrel, with a broad
.mile and nn nmiable handshake,
who will go to any lengths to gain
office, but who is no more interested
in affairs of state than will satisfy
his ow.i selfish ends. This is the
type of politician which is a blight on
our nution, and knows at the very
foundations of democracy. Certainly
we are not going to train that kind of
politician on the Washington and
Lee campus, where peworml honor is
the basis of our entire system.
Honor and truth in politics have
their virtues as in any other of the
human relations. The so-called poli
tician who plays the game for selfish
ends and who uses deceitful practices
follows only the method to short
gains, for his sins will find him out
and mighty will be his fall.
And so it is upon our campus. If
men see something in campus politics
besides personal honor and glory,
and if they use honorable and above
board practices in gaining the posi
tion in which they can help make
Washington and Lee a better school,
this is then indeed a "training
ground of American leadership," and
leadership of the type which Amer
ica most needs. The Ring-Time-Phi.

organizations. There are certainly
not concerned with ideas; they are
concerned with doing things, and the
things they do are not worthy of com

rel with purely social organizations.
He is at odds with social organiza
tions that insist on calling themselves
honorary.
As for the writers concluding ar
gument that these societies are harm
less there is this much to be said:
These class organizations are a part
of the complex and diverse system
of extra-curricular activities in which
so many students ; dissipate their
physical and intellectual energy.
Aside from this, the fact they have
so long pretended to an excellence
which they do not possess justifies
any attacks which wwill diclose their
