Seite 242 - ... and stood, who held the hope Of nations on that slippery slope, Amid the cheers of Christendom! God lives! He forged the iron will, That clutched and held that trembling hill! God lives and reigns! He built and lent The heights for Freedom's battlement, Where floats her flag in triumph still! Fold up the banners! Smelt the guns! Love rules. Her gentler purpose runs. A mighty mother turns in tears, The pages of her battle years, Lamenting all her fallen sons!
Seite 31 - Greek-letter man. 5. It can hold in check a young man of strong appetites and passions until the danger point is passed — until he has developed sufficient strength of character to resist temptation. 6. It can reach down a helping hand to a hard working, honest student who needs help and lift him up.
Seite 253 - ... non-fraternity brother. He is often in athletics ; he leads a more active social life ; he is more frequently in politics ; and is generally identified with every college activity. The time given to these things must bring down the average of scholarship. Personally I am not sure that this fact is one always to be deplored. Much as I believe in high scholarship, I believe, also, that general efficiency is to be encouraged.

Seite 253 - The internal organization of the fraternities is commendable. There are in each one upper classmen who take seriously the obligation to look after the younger men, to see that order and discipline are maintained and that standards of scholarship are upheld. Each organization has a sensible and definite set of house rules, which it seriously attempts to enforce. "In their relations with the university authorities I have always found the fraternity men entirely willing to come half way.
Seite 30 - ... 2. It can prevent a man of strong social inclination from wasting time to the detriment of his mental development. 3. It can tone up a boy of good mind but slovenly habits and tone down a dude and prevent him from becoming the laughing-stock of sensible people. 4. It can prevent vulgar language, coarse manners and loafing in the chapter-house; and dishonesty and immorality everywhere as things unworthy a Greek-letter man.
Seite 53 - Mr. McDermott regrets that in the last twenty years the scholarly ideal among fraternity men has given place to one less worthy, and quotes figures to prove his statement. No doubt the figures are correct, but statistics have a way of proving a great many things that are not true. Within the last quarter of a century there has been a great change in academic conditions. When our fathers were young, for a youth to go to college was rather an extraordinary thing; unless a man anticipated a professional...
Seite 27 - Of course, we can pass the matter by and say complaisantly that "we do not care for Phi Beta Kappa. It is an empty honor anyhow. We are getting things of greater value." But will parents continue to believe us indefinitely? Will the public — whose good opinion we covet because we want its best young men — will the public believe us? Will it not think this is another case of sour grapes"?
Seite 31 - They are elaborate furnishings. They place these valuable equipments in the hands of their younger brothers. What is more natural, what is more reasonable than that they should demand an accounting — not primarily in a material way, for this is relatively unimportant; but in an intellectual, moral, social, man-developing way? This is the plain duty of the alumni and it should be their privilege. It is just as reprehensible for the better class of fraternity alumni to abandon their chapters and...
