Alfred ft Stearns, graduate of Amtierst

in defence ti the attacks made on the
fraternity system Is the lulled States,
saving that the fraternity ideals have
been high and noble.
"When these Ideas have prevailed," he
?-aid. "the Influence of the fraternity on
Its members and the student community
has been strongly helpful; when, on the
other hand, seltt.-h and personal interests
have been permitted to gain the ascen?
dancy untold harm hag been done.
True to Ideale.
"In the main the college fraternity has
been true to Its mission. In the main it
has reillzed the high Ideals of Ita found
frs. and In this respert no other frater?
nity, in my Judgment, has more consist?
ently realized Its true mission, Its best
traditions, than has the fraternity wt
honor to-nlj*ht.
"It is easy for an outsider, simply he
cause he ?Iocs not know, to tielleve that
we ar? exclusive; that we promote snob?
bishness; that we are ?given to luxury, and
to force himself to believe that within the
walls of our chapter houses student WSfldt*
nessi-s and student vices, If not encour?
aged, are at least openly tolerated.
"Nothing would be further from the
truth. Some of us are well aware that
Within the fraternity cli-cle these v? ry
