The standard of fraternity journals has been improvingrapidly of late and is now very high. The present editorsof THE SCROLL realize that it is becoming increasinglydifficult to issue a magazine which will compare favorablywith the journals of enterprising rival fraternities.THE SCROLL needs especially two things: more money andmore first class contributions. The subscription price isonly one dollar a year for both THE SCROLL and The Palladium,while most other fraternities charge a dollar and a halfor two dollars for only one journal. With a larger amountof means several very desirable features could be introducedin THE SCROLL, and its pages made more attractive with agreater number and variety of illustrations.
