THE SCROLL. 233(1901), McGill (1902), Colorado (1902), and GeorgiaTech. (1902)..An athletic fraternity has been formed at the Universityof Iowa. At first chapters will be established only in the"Big Nine," but later it is proposed to have chapters inpractically every American university. The chief object ofthe fraternity is to spread a bond of fellowship amongcollege athletes and remove the feeling of distrust andsuspicion which sometimes exists. Only wearers of the'varsity initials will be entitled to membership.—Purdue Exponent.THE FRATERNITY MAN'S SYMPHONY.—The tie of kindredspirit is stronger than the bond of blood. The cravingfor books but symbolizes this devotion to one's psychicalbrother. The fraternity life—ideally considered—is the utopeanlife. To be strong and to strengthen; to sympathizeand to suffer; to be pure; to put away selfishness; to bemanly in the manliness of Him who first proposed the principleof brotherhood; to lend much; to borrow little; to behonest both to yourself and to your brother; to seek thehigh self-development, morally, mentally, spiritually, thatthe world's great men must have; to be chary of makingexcuses, and more frugal in giving causes therefor; to benon-partisan, enthusiastic, unselfish, in the larger interestsof the institution; to form no barb-wire cliques; to have alistening ear and a silent tongue; to be joyous in the opportunityof living in the electric ozone of a needy, cryingworld; yes! to be a man is the fraternity man's symphony.—The Northziiestern.THE PYX.All communications relating to THE SCROLL should hereafterbe sent to lohn H.
