It Is sincerely by everyone concerned that theso two will not forget who was elected. pose being to provido mutual aid to various organizations. It was decided at this conference that no honorary fraternity might consider itself one of the group of profes sional fraternities. Following Its discussion by tho assistant dean of men of tho Uni versity of Illinois, it was decided by tho body that all university fra ternities should abolish probation or "hell" week. There will be strenuous agitation for its elimi nation from all colleges which now have such an institution. Methods of standardizing the large numbers of college depart mental papers and magazines were discussed in detail. At present no unity exists between various de partments In different universities, and steps will be taken to bring about more co-operation. A committee was appointed to publish a short concise history of each professional fraternity for the purpose of providing more general information concerning the frater nities than now exists. Tho con ference which was well attended had delegates from all parts of the United Sttaes. mVJl SPONSORS OF NEBRASKA R. 0. T. C.
