best they can. We are sure it will
be good.
Mr. Turner was heard by his
room-mate coming heavily up the
stairs backwards. The cause was a
picture of his “Normal lark.”

Two students at Michigan declined
Phi Beta Kappa last June, thus caus-
ing the rumor that honor societies
were to be abolished at that univer-
sity. Present sentiment, however,
seems to be in favor of their reten-
tion.

The University has taken steps to
Increase the circulation of The New
Yorker, the college weekly paper, by
giving a subscription for 2,000
copies. These are to be distributed
gratuitously among the alumni who
are not already subscribers to the
paper. It is hoped by this means to
aid the weekly and at the same time
to bring the alumni into closer touch
with the work of the University.

Vanderbilt Webb won the highest

The Yale chapter of Phi Beta Kap-
pa has adopted some changes in the
method of election. Under the old
rules elections to Phi Beta Kappa
could be obtained by maintaining a
mark of 320 (on a scale of 400) for
freshmen and sophomore years; by
attaining an average of 330 for jun-
ior and senior years, or by earning
a stand of 350 for senior year alone.
Under the system as it now stands
it is possible to win an election by
maintaining an average in scholarship
of 330 for any two consecutive years
during the first three years of col-
lege, or by having a 350 stand for
the work of senior year. It is
felt that by this change the men
will be treated more fairly who
have not studied hard during the
freshman year, but who have an am-
bition aroused by the beginning of
the sophomore year to try for high
honors.
