THE PRESS

Yet How?

Those who hope for a more definite thought in undergraduate Yale are now considering the possibility of establishing a third college. Yet the success of such a movement presupposes the existence of a far more definite public opinion than is now present. Why not turn to the utilization of an influence already operative: perhaps the Fraternities?

The meetings of these bodies could be partially occupied with a discussion of those things which directly concern the undergraduates: this suggestion not to be construed as necessarily urging the Fraternities to line up behind established institutions. The discussion should simply arouse in individual minds a definite conviction that something should or should not be improved or abolished. Here are to be found the most nearly representative group in the three upper classes. Can they not be made to represent still more?

While thousands of dollars are being solicited for the new Fraternity houses, many people, the fraternity men most of all, are asking themselves what fraternities accomplish. Without attempting to answer this question, it is obvious that if they accept the position of clearing houses of public opinion, there will be no doubt in any one's mind as to their true worth. --Yale Daily News.
