Last Five Presidents Were
The last five Presidents of the
United States have been college fra
ternity men.
Two were inducted into fraternal
life while students at their chosen
Institutions; the other three, educated
at universities where chapters of na
tional fraternities did not exist,
found time later, in the midst of busy
careers which reached a climax in the
office of Chief Magistrate of the
country, to become honorary mem
bers of Ave fraternities.
In the persons of President and
Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, however, the
Greek-letter world possesses for the
first time occupants for a fraternity
and sorority "White House".
The quiet, unassuming Vermont
farmer youth who entered Amherst
in 1891, intent upon his studies and
caring little for extra-curricular act
ivities, failed to attract the attention
of fraternities at the Massachusetts
college until he was a junior. Then
he accepted one of the first bids
after his new proverbial calm con
sideration from the newly-founded
chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. Both
in and out of college, he has rendered
valuable service to his fraternity.
Grace Anna Goodhue Coolidge is
the first mistress of the White House
who was a sorority woman in college.
A charter member of Pi Beta Phi at
the University of Vermont, Mrs.
Coolidge has shown consistent inter
est in her sorority since her gradua
tion. In 1910, she helped organize the
Western Massachusetts Alumnae
Club and was its first President. For
three years, she was a National Vice
President. Offered an even higher
position, Mrs. Coolidge was forced to
decline because of the official de
mands made upon her as wife of the
Governor of Massachusetts.
One other President joined a na
tional fraternity while in college.
Woodrow Wilson was inducted into
the membership of Phi Kappa Psi at
the University of Virginia Vhere he
took a post-graduate course in law
in 1881 after leaving Princeton.
Neither at Harvard nor at Yale
have fraternities been ollowed by the
authorities to take the place of eat
ing clubs and honorary organizations
of the liberal arts colleges of the
two universities.

Fraternity Men at College
Theodore Roosevelt, graduated
from Harvard in 1880, belonged to
the popular clubs and societies of hia
day. Later, in the midst of his strenu
ous life, he became a member of both
Delta Kappa Epsilon and Alpha Delta
Phi.
William Howard Taft, new Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, accepted honorary membership
in Psi Upsilon and Acacia after leav
ing Yale in 1873. Warren G. Hard
ing went to a little college now de
funct, Ohio Central College, where
there were no fraternities. He was
a great believer in fraternal fellow
ship, however, and later in his life
joined many organizations, among
them Acacia.

In the College World
The November 1st edition of the
University of Arizona's "Wild Cat"
was printed on the spooky orange col
or of Halloween, trimmed with sus
picious looking cats smiling a greet
ing to the spirit of Halloween.
Invention of a device which will
"teach while you sleep" has been an
nounced by chief radio operator of
the United States Navy. Once the
human system has accustomed itself
to the various impressions, there is
no doubt that in the morning we will
remember everything that we hear
during the night. It may take several
generations before such a system is
perfected.
McGill's University Endowment
fund plans have been completed. All
graduates have subscribed in pro
portion to the number of years since
graduation. McGill can now rely up
on a steady annual income for im
provements. It will also enlist and
retain the interest of graduates in the
needs and management of the Uni
versity. A ratio of seven hours of study
daily to one "date" weekly helped
the Indiana Club men and women to
capture first and second t place in
Scholarship average.
