The Fraternity and the Undergraduate (collection)/Preface

by Thomas Arkle Clark

Preface

In this second volume of essays on fraternity life I have brought together the papers written during the past two years. The connections between them is not always close, and there has been no thought in my mind of covering the whole field of fraternity activity. Six of the papers have previously been published: "The Chapter Letter" and "Building a Chapter House" appeared in the Alpha Tau Omega Palm; "Vaudeville and Photo Plays" was published in Banta's Greek Exchange; "The Man Who Does Not Join," in the Carnation of Delta Sigma Phi; "Rushing and the Rushee," in Delta of Sigma Nu; and "The Future of the Fraternity" was delivered as an address before the twenty-sixth biennial Congress of Alpha Tau Omega.
