EDITORIALS.

To all th e chapters a n d member s a indi v idual s we wi s h a hap py and s uc ce sf ul New Year. The )·ear that ha s clo ed has been a remarkable yea r f o r Acac ia. \'\ ith o ne or two exceptions there h as been a st eady growth in number , and eve r y where we are gaining no t on ly in nu mber s and material thino·s but we are beginnin()' to r ea liz e that we are a real Frat rnit y. To thi s realization we mu t give h eed. It will brin()' with it triving to rea lj u st and reorganize, and these effo rt h o ulc\ hav e a full and candid hearing. B ut we s ho uld be slow to depart from the ways that have brought u s thu far o n the r oad and brought u o well.

Let u s not forget that the yea r befo re u sho uld see that we as chapter s and individuals keep in view the minor det3il of chapter work. By this we m ea n that the record , the accounts, the appearance of the chapter

house and grounds should have attention. These are little things but let us see to it th:lt they have been provided for.

Then there are some other matters that we are inclined to call the maj or thino·s becau e we want to conform. Not because we believe they are any"'n;ore important than those we termed the minor details. Indeed, the chapter that looks after the o ne will probably look after the o ther. But let us O'ive some time to the perfection of our members in ma so nic work. That pa1t of Brot her Fay's article in the last J ouRNAL which urged this upon the Fraternity is a sp lendid suggestio n. No man s hould be initiated until he ha shown him self letter perfect in the fir st three degrees. Then all the chapter s shou ld follow the examp le of Teth C hapter. It will make yo ur chapte r known and respected among masons, and it will mean much for you r own members, if you procure some one to give yo u several lectures on masonry during the college yea r. In this connection we wish to suggest that yo u get a well informed man . Too much of the lecture vvork on masonry, is a cross between mere bombast and glittering generalities. A void suc h lecture s.

Let some of yo ur time be devoted to social events. These make for th e fin er things in fraternity life, and we want all the chapters to exemplify in their re spect iv e in stitutions the be st that fraternity life affords.

Finally we wish again for all a "Happy New Year."-The happiness that comes from health, strength and congenial occupation, that springs from the norm! life of the affections, that is rooted in a high purpose steadfastly held , in enthu . ia s ms for truth , righteousness and love . If some of the se grace are d enied. if health is broken , task s unsought laid upon you, lo sses suffer ed, yet this remains, out of life 's mingled joys and so rrows , successes and defeats, to win the clearer knowledge, larger stre,ngth, deeper tenderness and s urer trust. These are things utterly worth while and these are not the gift of circumstances, but a high achievement, the result of ea rn est effo rt and indomitable will. May these deeper sources of happine ss g r ow in you thr o u g h the coming year and through all the years.

OUR OPINION.

In this_ number an article from the pen of Brother Humphrey, Tsadhe C hapt e r. will be found. \Ve find that this article so nearly voices our own se ntiment and belief that we want merely to suggest that it be given careful consideration by all the members of the Fraternity. We do not have the tim e, with the o ther duties that fall to our lot to write on the s ubject as we wish to do. But if we had abundant time we doubt whether we could do as well as Brother Humphrey has clone .

THE DIRECTORY.

. The directory ha s been an endless task, and as a result the JouRNAL wtll be lat e Some of the material for the directory came as late as the I7th of January and of course some of the chapters failed to respond at all. Pe, Tav and Daleth ent no material at all. In the case of Daleth we used material forwarded several months ago by Brother Villars, the secretary of the Da-

A n d o n ce arra in do we feel compelled t o write on thi ubj ect. Our l aw r quire that th e member hip record be fill e d o ut in o ri ginal and duplicat e b ef r th e initiation and that the original be sent direct t o thi o ffic e and the duplicate filed in the chapter archive s. Mo t o f the chapter are fa vo i·e cl with sec retarie that comply with thi law but n o t all are so f o rtunat e.

It would appear that the e memb e r could be indu ced t fill o ut meml e r s hip records if properly approach ed.

o r o th e r loca l cond iti o n s make it imp e rative to admit m e mb e r s of o th er fraternitie s . nother aro·ument is that Acac ia is a spec ial fraternity and does n ot compete or it elf with th e general frat e rnitie s . Thi s is tru e th ey say becau e of o ur Maso nic r est ricti o n , g reater age o f m embe r s or loca l sys t em of ru shin g . In so m e in s tituti o n s, h oweve r, Acac 1a does compe t e with the ot he r fr a terniti es both as r ega rd s m emb e r s hip a nd in ge ne r al co ll ege activitie

P r ev io u s member s and present members o f Acac ia hav e been a nd are members of o th er fraternities, ye t they have se rved Acac ia as well a any member has se rv ed h e r . Acac ia wotild be deprived o f th e se rvi ces of many good and valuable men s ho uld s h e pass a rule prohibiting uch member ship. O n th e ot h e r hand th ose who protest against th e admi ss io n o f m emb e r s o f ot h e r fraternities int o Acac ia point o ut that s uch admi ss io n violate s th e bas ic principle of fraternal o r ga nizati o n. Acac ia .is now in th e pr ocess of buildin g and her ultimate s trength mu s t depend o n h e r foundation. Does n o t the admission of men with divided allegiance form a w ea k link in o ur chain ? I s it possible for a man t o se rve tw o organizations with the loya lt y h e could serve one? Does not s uch a policy tend t o make Acac ia d ege n erate int o mer ely a club for soc ial convenience, in as mtl ch a s uch m em bers might damp e n the earnestness of Ac acia 's e nd eavo r t o occ upy th e chief plac e in the college organization? A member o f another fraternity coming into Acacia doe s so primaril y f o r the soc ial privilege s. n o t to boos t Acacia in hi s instituti o n or to win honor f o r her o n the gridiron o r cinder path. Most memb e r s j o in Acacia after their affiliati o n wi t h another fraternity and as a general rule it may be said that upon any question of d ec ision b etw ee n th e two fraternities, such a member would d ec ide in favor of his fir s t love for there is so me sentiment associated with the j o ining of o ur first fraternity that cannot be eradicated. "O nce a m e mber of a frat e rnity , alway s a m ember " is the way a prominent man puts it.

A nother argument advanced by so me chapter s is that unle ss we limit our membership to non-fraternity men , our relations with the other fraternitie s will not be so cordial; we will not b e recognized by them as equal in standing. We will be classed with pr o fes sional fraternitie s and will lose representation in general fraternit y confer ences. Great s tress is placed on so cial and general recognition by some of the chapter s. There is a large number of Acacia men who th ink that thi s qu es tion is not of primary importance. Their policy may be said t o be to temporize at present and decide after we have had more experience with s uch memb ership. The que stion is too great to decide from our present knowl e dge and that a few years more of our present policy will be needed for a l o aical decision. o

Local optio.n will the question for the individual chapter s but wtll not determme our national standing with the other fraternitie s Our own opinion is that the general sentiment of Acacia is against the admission of these but . that. a elimination should take place, no chapter should be Je?pardtzed m eltmmatmg these men. We may take it as general that. n? active me.mber of another fraternity is a logical candidate for to . but there is no doubt that an inactive man through mstitutwns , uncongeniality or what not , may make a good member of Acacta . In my own experience such men have compared very favorabl y with the other members of our chapter. ·

Upon his relinquishing the privileges of active membership becomes at once a member of the alumni association of the chapter, g1ves a note to s upport the building fund, and pledges his unswerving allegiance to Acacia and Heth.

The chapter publishe s in conjunction with the association " The Heth Hello", which appear s twice a year, and which is devoted to news of the chapter and the alumni. Thi s magazine attempts to meet the need _of an informal intimate means of communication among the member s; It has been an' unqualified success and serves the purpose admirably.

Three times a year the alumni are particularly urged to return to the chapter house-Fall Home Coming in late October or early November, the Annual Formal Party in February, and the Founders' Day Banquet in April. The number of alumni availing themselves of the se opportunities has been gratifyingly large.

The alumni reunion s se rve to stimu late the active chapter to renewed effort as well a s to revive among the old fellows the enthusiasm and devotion of their college clays The novitiates become imbu ed with a reverent love for their fraternity, when they realize how clear to the old men are the associations connected with their fraternity life , and soon they assume for themselves the re s ponsibility of perpetuating these associations.

No chapter can afford to delay to organize its alumnus body and make it a strong aiel to the active chapter and to the whole fraternity. Acacia has demonstrated the value of it s ties to the college Mason, and every legitimate means should be employed to enhance this value- A well-organized alumni, loyal and true to the utmost, is one of the very most powerful m ea n s o f " keeping the faith".

A DANGEROUS TENDENCY.

E. F. HUMPHREY, TSADHE CHAPTER.

At present a movement is being fostered by certain of the chapters of our fraternity which aims at a deviation from the principles on which Acacia was founded. Organized in 1904 on the broad principles of Masonic brotherhood, unhampered by the traditions of other fraternal organizations, with the sole constitutional restriction as to membership that a member must be "a college man who is a Master Mason," the growth of Acacia ha s been little short of phenomenal ; proving that there was a real college need for a new organization of this t ype. No matter how s trongly one may long for "Greek recognition" , or "G reek association", he cannot but admit that had Acacia been organized to serve as a competitor to the Greek Letter fraternity, its early career would have been as beset with a?cl its progress as retarded as that of any of those latter o rganIzatiOns wh1ch have been entering an already overcrowded field. But Ac acia was not orga_nized to in. any field; its place in the fraternity world was to be umque, hence 1ts remarkable earlier career. De s pite this, there apeared as early as the Conclave of 1907, on the part of so me of the chapters, a desire to deviate from the Masonic principles of the founders -those broad and inclusive ideals which judge a man for what he is te st his desirability for fraternal purposes by the probabilitie s of h1s effic1ency as a worker for the chapter-and to sub s titute for these

and an active propao-anda for their enforcement on all oth e r chapters ha s been undertaken . the se Chapters men are being selected without the Maso nic prerequisite. The Mason ic for ins!ance, into .Masonry is being persistently neglected and .. destrable man ts rushed and then requested t o go home and gam aclmts sw n to Masonry. A man thus becomes a Mason on the wrong principles. Can we be surprised that C hapters which have deviated so far from the principles of fo\mders wish soo n to become Greeks? Men are even pledged and ltvmg m the fraternity house before they have been "raised". No wonder chapters are se nding out notices that they are anxious no longer " to be considered as a side degree to Masonry". Masonry in s uch cases is simply a hindrance to social ambi.tic.n s To compete with Greeks on their own terms it be· comes nec esa ry to thr ow off all dependence on Masonry . If this is the ambition of Acac ia, the soo ner it throws off the cl oak of Free Masonry and stand s boldly f o rth as a mere (or near) undergraduat e Greek L ette r fraternity, the better.

At pre se nt Acacia d oes not belong in that field. We are not an und ergraduate body; our very age requirement place s us outside that field. By the time a man is twenty-one, he is naturally on his profes s ional or graduate career . One may easily see by reading the J ouRNAL that this is so. The log ical step in the hellenizing of Acacia is to throw out the age requirement. It would be a serious restri ction were we to become competitors with the Greeks in th e undergraduate wor ld. The mere adoption ef a Greek name and the exclusion of Greeks will not enab le us t o arrive . It may bring u s t o a state o f beatification, but real sa intship comes only when th e miracl e is competent. Martyrdom is its price.

The question of clas sification seems to be causing con s iderable uneasiness to so me gentle souls. It is even rum ored that Baird ha s discover ed in A cacia a n ew spec ies of fraternity which wi ll not fit hi s system of cla ss ification. We mu st subject this s tranger to some sort o f a process that will make it conform . Why s hould thi s concern u s? When we hav e a distinct field and purpose, why give up all in order that the mind of those who seek easy wisdom shall not have to think about u s in o rd er t o find out what we are? Progress has ever bee n thu s stifled. This whole discussion as to classification smells of the mu sty-cism o n mediaeval n om inali sm.

Another question; what is to be clone with chapters which in their end eavo r:; to pre se rv e the tradition of the founder s have fallen behind in this evolution, or rather devolution? Are th ey to be legislated out of ex istence? Or are they to be carefull y but firmly expurgated and thus tran sfo.rmecl to meet thi s new system? For our part, Columbia Chapter mtght better surrender tts charter than be transformed into this so rt of an institution. There is no place in Co lumbia University for a new Greek fraternity; there is. need here for just the so rt of a chapter that Acac ta now offers. Thts .ts s hown by the hearty good will that prevail s between Greeks and Acacta. There is no question of rivalr y there is n o on either side. Men from a large number of Greek fratermttes are to be found among our numbers. They are amon a- our m os t loya l and workers: Activity in their Greek fraternit; does n ot prevent actlvtty for Acacta.

WHY DO MASONS NOT ATTEND LODGECAUSE-EFFECT.

DR. W F K 1I 1

( From T y ler- K eys tone, January 5, 1912 )

It is not a diffic ult a ta k to find the cau e for ce rtain e ff ct in the animate and i·1animate wor ld, a it i to find the r emedy. It i the part f wisd m when the ca u e is d iscovered, to app ly a remedy that will de troy the ca u e ; but when the ca u e has become inh erent and a part f thi wor ld , it may be better , "to bear the ill we have, than to fly to oth e r that we know n o t of."

ome of the cau es a nd their effect s mentioned in the pr e vi o u article are no t remedial; a few may be modified and severa l mu t be co mpl etel y e r ad icat e 1.

Fr em a . onry mu t b ecom e more of a factor in civic and na tural life. It mu t be a greater moral agency in the li fe of the man claimin g to b a Ma on. Jt mu t be a force that is ever pu bin g toward a hi h e r moral and inte ll ectua l tan la r d.

Fre e ma so nry mu t cea e to be mediocre. Jot that it mu t go out with a !! are of trumpets a nd pub li cl y proclaim it s mission , o r that its Lodge s h a ll bee me po li t ica l clubs to wage war fo r the principles that it profe s es, but rath r that each member in thought, word, and deed shall be a Freemas n in an indiv idua l capac it y.

1 o n can measure the si t nt influ ence of F r eema onry on the heart a nd con c ience s of it devotee .

T h e erecl'ion and maintenance of Ma on ic Homes, and the large b enevo le n ce of our Gra nd L dges, r ep r ese ntin g th o u and upon thou and of do ll a r s, are but fa in t expre ion of that deep and wide wave! . ea of purp o e that underlie . un seen, the eeminO' urface o f indiff eren .

No o ne ca n fathom it s deeps, o r mea ure it latent en r ie . hould the bug le re o und a ca ll t o arm in the defense of its principles, there would sr ring to it feet a mi o·ht y army, w ith b od ies st r aight, h ead erect, and face

set. A n in v in cibl e h os t. Th e re w o uld al so be som e camp f oll o vvers, coffee coo le r s . ku ' k er s, co ward s . There w ould be a hiding behind tre es, and so me , o n a cco unt o f th e ir Ma so nic smallne s s could ea sil y find refuge in a w oodc hu ck hole

It mi g ht eve n b e p oss ibl e that Ma so n s of high title s and d egrees would b e fo und s hiv e ring with fright in the rank s of the privat es, while a plain una ss umn o- 1\Ia st e r Ma so n w o uld b e wearing th e in s ignia of command; but th e m en° wo uld be th e re and n on-attendance would be reduced t o a minimum. In th e a b se nce of s uch a call that appeals so strongl y to men ' s hearts , how s h a ll we m ee t th e co nditi on s a s they exi st toda y?

Th e r em e dy must b e applied in th e Lodge first It must cease being a m e r e m a chine t o grind out Ma ster Ma son s. It must p os ses s an intelligence that goes beyo nd a m e re routine , and that can gra sp the living issues.

Th e ch a r g e ha s be en made b y some writer s, that Fre emanory ha s pass ed int o th e hand s of medi ocrit y, that the educated Ma son , after he beco m es a m emb er , pa ys ver y little att ention to it , for the rea son that the Lod ge , in it s work and ends , appeals only to mediocrity , and that the Lodge is ruled by it. Thi s charg e is a se rious one , and can not be denied or dismis se d in co ntempt. Before branding the charge a s fal se , examine into thi s matt er in yo ur o wn Lodge and possibly your Grand Lodge. Ask yourself the qu es ti on: "A re th e office rs chosen on account of th e ir s cholar s hip, intellectual abilit y, bu s in ess or profe ss ional attainment s , or becau se of their lett e r - perfe ct rituali sm? "

In the G rand Lod g es , where the Grand Officer s are required to e xemplif y the vvork before th e membership , the humiliating experience ma y aris e in which a pr ominent citizen , di stingui s hed jurist , and churchman max b e co mpelled t o be lette r perf e ct in the second s ection of the F. C. Degree befor e h e co uld hope to be advanced from the position of Senior Grand Deacon to that of Grand Warden.

U nintenti o nally and uncon sciously letter-perfect ritualism, as a prerequi site , ha s become an unwritten law for official position. This unwritten law obtain s in nearl y all Lodges and in some Grand Lodges.

In Masonic Bodies of whatever degree, the parrot has a better chance to be elected Ma ster or a presiding officer, than has a Professor of English Literature. It may be safely s tated , that , it is the exception that the student , the scholar or the prominent business or professional man hold s office in any s ubordinate body; but the Mason of average ability, or the mediocre , controls the destinies of our Lodges.

The old simile of a fountain rising no higher than its head, holds true in the Communication of the Lodge. As long as the end and aim of a Lodge is mere Ritualism, the parrot will win. The Communication of a Lodge should appeal to all its members. It should be made a source of entertainment to the ear , to the heart and to the intelligence of man; a source of good fellowship that enobles and not debases; a variety, not a monotony.

In discussing the remedies we take it for granted that the moral qualities of a Mason are paramount to his intellectual attainments; but how shall we obtain a higher standard of intellectual qualificti ons in the men who preside over the Masonic Bodies? The hindrance to this end lies in a landmark that hedge s Freemasonry about.

The to ear" method of imparting instructions stands as a :vatchful sentmel to protect the ritualistic graphophone. This method of Imparting instruction is held by many as a most sacred landm ark and woe

The remed y for th e ecming purp o ele end of F,reemasonry. for the 1 s o f in it and in 1\Iasons. depend o n the attitud e of th e individ ual Ma so n toward Freema o nry. The que tion. what think ye of Freema so nr y and how do yo u interpret it, may reveal the cau e, a well as find the remedy. It may prove that the fault lie s not in Freemasonry, but in the

man. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is h e," was true when th ese words " ·ere and they are true today. Throvv up on the screen a man s ideal s, and you behold the man.

The two essentia l Landmarks of Freemaso nr y are: A belief in God, with its imperative co r ollar y, the brotherhood of and a in mortality. Out of the se wi ll necessarily flow the fnut of th e Spmt, wh1ch are "love, j oy, peace, longsuffer in g, ge ntl e n ess, goodness, faith , meekness and t empe rance, aga in st wh ich t h e r e is no law. "

O n these is based, "A beautiful syste m of morals, ve il ed in a ll ego r y and illu strated by symbo ls."

If th e pirit of these princ ip a ls is in the h eart of the Mason, F r eemaso nry wil l not be purpose less, neither will there b e a cause for mistrust.

Freemaso nr y is a lif e with a n ever endin g school clay , w h ose curriculum is th e most comp r eh ensive eve r sch ed ul ed from th e wo rld 's g r eat t ext b ook. It is an evo luti on from a primitive co n cep ti o n o f duty to that sp iri t ual conception whi ch eve r yw h e r e and at all tim es r ecog ni zes man as a brother. Freemasonry is not a system of degrees but a stud y in morality, right li v in g . It is not a ser ies of degrees, t o g iv e to tho se who ma y h ave th e m o n ey to purcha se them, ce rtain title s and h on o r s, for eve n in Freemaso nr y, a man may p lay the fool at wi ll, and an E ntered Apprentice may h ave a better and clearer concept ion of th e fundamental principles of th e F r a t ernity, than he who wear s the en s ig nia of the hi g hest grade .

Mora l or spi ritual concept ion does n ot stop at m e r e believing or tacitl y assenting, but in believing and doing.

T h e Stoics of R o me persuaded themselves t o b eli eve that th ey ere of Divine essence, and o n this b elief elabo rat ed finel y s pun sys t ems of philosophy and metaphysics, but which were of no practical utilit y. "Fait h without wo rk s is dead."

The great truth that the Mason of today must learn is, that he is the hi g h es t Maso n wh o has atta in ed to the highest conception of what life is and what it means . · By appl y ing this standard of mea surem ent , the Masonic snob must di sappear, solicitation of candidates will cease , for only he, who is " Dul y and trul y prepared , worthy and well qualified, " will petition and gain adm iss io n.

The n on - Maso n judges Freemasonry by the e{(ample of it s members, n o t by the professed principles of the Fraternity. Recentl y a young man in a very exhuberant manner said to the writer, "I am going to send m y petition into a Maso nic Lodge, how long will it take me to be a Shriner?" When informed that the Shrine was not a Masonic Body, but merely a social orga nizati on of Masons, his countenance fell as he remarked, "I did not know that." From his manner, doubtless, his petition was not se nt into the Lodge; if not, the Shrine· lost a r eg ular attendant, and the Lodge a non-attendant.

Th.e yo ung man had ev id entl y seen a Shrine parade, with its camels , the vanagated baggy trousers of the Patrol and the candidates in chains in a cage. Sometimes a light should not be set on a candle stick, but put under a bu shel less mi sconception may arise as to its purpo se .

In considering the attitude of the "Higher Degrees" reference is made to the Commandery of Knights Templar and the Scottish Rite. The united Gra nd Lodge of England in 1813 declared that Ancient Craft Ma-

Instead of creating in the minds of the Masons of only three degrees, that he occupies a lower world, that he is made of commoner clay, that the Lodge Degrees are only for weaklin7,s; he of the Degrees " should remember Bishop Potter's words: If there be no nob1hty of descent, all the more indispensible is _ it that there should be nobility of ascent-a character in them that bear rules so fine and high and pure that as men come; within the circle of its influence, they involuntarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-eminent clistinction,--.-- the royalty of virtue."

Pos sibly the remedy for the wrong things in Freemasonry and the cure for non-attendance might be corrected by a careful study of the following: " Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest , whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, if there be any prai se , think of these things."

WHAT CONSTITUTES SUCCESS

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory is a benediction.

On October 21 st we entertained about twenty brothers from \Vaw, who had acompaniecl their team to Ann Arbor on that elate. 'vVe that our treatment was more agreeable to them than that accorded then· team clurino· the afternoon' s festivities at Ferry Field. 'vVe certainly enjoyed their visit :ncl appreciated the opportunity to discuss fraternity matters with brother s from another chapter.

· On Sunday, October 29th, we h4cl the honor to entertain at dinner o ur Grand President, Bro. Francis W. Shepardson. He was compelled to hurry away, in order to catch a train; but we enjoyed the few hour s he spent with us and greatly regret that we could not have had a longer visit from him.

Our fall dance was held November I sth, at the Ypsilanti Countr y Club. About twenty-five couples attended and all appeared to have an enjoyable evening.

A new feature was introduced at the roast-pig dinner, held annually on the night before college closes for the Christmas holidays . The invited guests were informed that it was a formal affair and, at the hour announced , the active members appeared attired in various costumes. We had a s ummer man , a cowboy, a bride and groom, Salome, the ward boss, etc. A great amount of fun was derived from this "stunt".

'vVe have read the article by our Grand President, which appeared in the November issue of the JouRNAL, with great interest. From account o f his visits to so many chapters, situated in all parts of the country, his · helpful advice as to future policies, and his valuable suggestions for the pre sent, we cannot but be impressed with his deep interest in and enthusiasm for Acacia. In reply to certain questions asked by Bro. Shephardson in his article, Aleph Chapter takes the following stand: In barring Greek Letter men from membership in Acacia, our by-law was so worded that onl y members of general social fraternities were taken into account. Our conception of Acacia places it in this class of college organization s , and we feel that our members should not owe allegiance to another organization of a similar nature.

But our fraternity would be the last to stand in the way of a brother's best interests, by forbidding him membership in any professional or honorary fraternity, or by making members of such fraternities ineligible to our brotherhood. Great benefits can be derived through the association of men pur s uing the same course of study; and such an association, through member ship in a professional fraternity, would not necessarily conflict vvith a brother's allegiance or loyalty to Acacia . And in what way could the honor of membership in Phi Beta Kappa or in Tau Beta Pi be incompatible with membership in Acacia? It was never the intention of this chapter to discriminate against such organizations when the bars were put up against Greek Letter men. We were brought to a realization of the harm resulting from membership in two organizations of similar aims we perceived the position in which Acacia has been placed here, in relation to social fraternities by the former policy, and took this method of strenothb emng our orgamzat10n and our relations to other fraternities.

The many able articles in the November· JouRNAL have made us realize the justice of each faction in this question and if it is not presumptuous, we

wi s h to urge that all take careful account of the views advanced th e r e in Only after due deliberation and careful con sideration will th e fin a l policy of A leph be formulated. Harmon y mu st continue to be th e str en gt h a n d s upport o f our institution, if we are to survive ; and fair-m in d ed n es s a n tl ope nne ss to conviction should prevail throughout o ur rank s when the matteico m es up for final adjustment

U nder s uch conditions conc erted work and complete harm on y within th e chapter were very necessary. Th e member s re spo nd ed t o th e n ee d and at pre se nt our outlook is very bright.

On November 29, we held our seco nd initiation at which B r os. M. \tV. Fisher, R. S. L ew is and ]. G. Marshall w er e initiated . Fisher is pursuing· g raduate work in the education department, Lewis is takin g a g r ad uat e co ur se in th e mining department, and Marshall is an und erg r ad uate of th e la w d epa rtment.

In th e pa s t tw o m o nths se ve ral under g raduates hav e fil ed th ei r petitions with th e loca l lodge and we are in touch with two men who will ent er co ll ege with th e new ye ar. Thu s without considering any n ew prospect s that n ex t se m es ter ma y brin g us , we have ample mat e rial t o work o n and fe e l quite certain that th e re will be a materi il increa se in our numb e r w ith th e n ew year.

At different times during the semester we have had B r os . Fred Shutts and Frank Hermann with us. Shutt s is one of the c it y e ngin er s of San Francisco and Hermann is in the engineering bu si n ess in San J ose. Bros. Ro y Cloud and Ed Lakin are but a few minute s' rid e f r o m th e campus, which enable s them to be with u s frequently and the y have proved a great help in chapter work. In November Bro. Paul Davi s 'o8 and a charter m ember of Beth was with us for three day s . Davi s is an 'extensive rancher in the southern part of the state He enjoys r eturning to the chapter and does so as often as his business care s will permit. It has always been an effort on the part of Beth, as I believe it is m all the chapters, to keep in as close touch with her alumni member s as possible. I believe the alumni should try and follow the work of their chapter as closely as possible and look back on the d;;tys when they were

in t h e wo rk r eca llin g so me of the tr ying co nditi o n s they had s h_ar ed in. If so I bel ie ve they would be led t o visit th e ir chapte r , o r wnte, thu s a suring the member s that they sti ll h e ld an interest in th e work we are s trugglin g to carry on.

Co nc e rning th e pr eliminary work to the ritual there has been cons id e r a ble th o ught and heated arguments. This is the first year that the ritu al has been g iven o n a sep arate night. Practice has proven that thi s plan i s the m ost satisfactory at Waw-it gives to the ritual a beauty , g rac e, and weight that is entirely s poiled under other existing conditions.

The initiates are in s tructed as to the plan of the initiation and on the o f th e ritual work, he has nothing from the outside to i'nterfere, his mmd being clear t o digest all of the ritua1 as it is presented.

To add to the proper presentation of the ritual, giving to it the nec ess ary Masonic atmosphere, the chapter has been able to put on the ritual in the Scottish Rite rooms of the Masonic Temple. This was made possible through the aid of our honorary members, chiefly Bro. W. E. J osep h, 33 °, who was recently initiated, and Bros. Wells and Landrum.

During the initiation ceremonies we were delighted to have again with u s B r os. Hambright of Springfield, Hickson of Lancaster, and Guillaudeu (last ye ar ' s se cretary) from Cincinnati.

LAMEDTH CHAPTE R.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIK, M \DISON, WISCONSIK.

Lamedth C hapt e r h as had an exceedingly bu sy fall. In th e fir s t placewe have been se ttling o ur se lve s in o ur new chapter home. Thi ha s involved a considerable amount o f work as the hou se was thor o ughl y overhaul ed la s t summer. The brethren have entered into thi s nec essa n · work with the m os t commendable zeal and sca rcely a day has passed bi.tt that eith er Bro. Schunk o r ·Dro. C rawf o rd ha s displayed hi s skill a a jack of all trades.

Then the chapter has had to se ttle bills of over $3,000, incurred in getting into the new house These bills are now for the mos t part se ttled. vVe have met these obligations without help from outside our o\\·n membership. The chapter owes much to the president of the Acacia House Associa tion , Bro. Frank J e nk s, for the able manner in which he ha s handled the se financial matters.

The mo st important work clone by the chapter thi s fall ha s been in the securing of new members. To aid the member s in looking ove r the Masonic material in the sc ho o l, two smokers were at the chapter hou se At th e first smoker o nly tho se Masonic students were invited who were known to one or more of the member s as desirable material. At the seco nd smoker all the Masonic students in the University were invited. The success of the se s moker s was clue largely to the careful arrangements made for them by the honse social committee, Bro. J as. Roach .. An interesting feature of the se cond smoker was a wrestling match between Bros. "Deke" Johnson and "Farmer" Murray for the " wiltecl-weirrht " championship of the world. :::,

After the se s moker s the desirable men were entertained at the house at dinner so that the members might become further acquainted with them. Some thirty Masonic s tudents were entertained in this \\·a,. during the fall. ·

As a result of this activity thirteen new members have been added to the chapter roll. On November 4th we initiated Easton Johnson, of

NUN CHAPTER

CO R NEL L UN I\"ERSITY, ITHACA, N EW YORK.

To the gra nd offic e r s and t o s is t e r chapters of Acaci a, N un C hapter se nd s a merr y and happ y greeting.

No doubt it sounds trit e t o say that N un is lo o king forward to a better and happier yea r-but such is the case. "Goo clfellow s hip " is our watchword , " a s tr o nger and s till more influential Acacia " is our slogan. The crea tin a and maintaining good fellow ship lies chiefly in the home of the m em be r ; th e making of s tronger Acacia, lies more with th e chqpter s .

'W e deem it o ur dut y as individuals to be "good fellow s" outside as well a s in sid e the ho u se-to hav e as many acquaintances on the hill as po ss ible and do it d ece ntly ; to take as much part in s tudent activities as o ur spare time will allow, to keep our work up and thu s gain the respect of professors who kn ow where we live; and above all, to live a life that will bring credit t o o urs e lve s and o ur fraternity. We believe that our chap t e r 's r ep utati o n , among other fraternitie s and independents here , is k ep t up by th e p e r sonnel of our membership, not by their wealth and th e splendor of ou r lodge .

To mak e a s tr onge r and s till more

A cacia, the chapter d ee m s it a duty t o pa y up the d ebt s with bu s ine ss men clown town and thus ga in a s tandin g with Ithaca people that will deserve their tru st; to keep "open h o u se " for g u es ts of th e memb ers , the alumni, and vi s iting brothers; to tak e more inter es t in the bu sines s to come before the conclave, and send a delegate th o r o ug hl y conver sant with the general opinion of the chapter conce rnin g detail s a s well a s the larger problems

The se are a f ew o f the ideals we are trying , along with the other chapt e r s, t o. r ealiz e. But we wi shed yo u to know that interest here is g r ow in g-n ot decreasing.

vVe hav e taken in three new m ember s this fall: A. S. Wing, in structor in Sibley Co lleg e; L. S. VanTrot, in the E. E . College; Ed. Vreeland, arts, --\ t o ur n ex t regular m ee ting , January 3rd , we initiate Mr. Bennett, ins tru cto r in civil engin ee ring.

We expect to lo se Bro. Sch e mpp thi s term, he having finished his co ur se in agricultur e . Although the writer ha s no facts to go by, there can be little doubt that Schempp will be a married man by the time this letter is printed Alas! Vacation wrought ruin to our plans, so we will grin and wish him the happiest of happy lives.

Th e chapter gave a dinner and dance at Rogue ' s Harbor, about eight mile s clown th e lak e, three week s ago . One grand time!

On the 12th of No vember we gave a smoker to the university Masons, clown at _the Craftsmen Club. We had talks by faculty members, songs, card pla y mg _ and a fe e d. J?uring the evening V. D.

ALEPH-BETH CHAPTER.

NO RTHWESTER N UN I\"ERSITY, CH ICAGO, ILLI NO IS.

It is wi th g r eat pleasure that A lep h-Beth Chapter of r<:rat e rnit y exte nd s g r ee ting s at thi s tim e t o all of the sister chapter s, wishmg them s u ccess and pro sperity f o r th e coming Ne w Year.

V Ie regret th a t we were late in getting our chapt e r l e tt e r in for the Novembe r i ss ue, but circum s tanc es ex is t her e with us , which makes it a lm os t imp oss ible to ge t a let t e r f o rmulated for the J OURNAL b y th e required time.

Th e o utl oo k f o r the coming n ew ye ar is ve ry favorable as we have a number of l\lasons in the various d epa rtment s who loo k promising. We w ill probably be able to rep o rt a marked increase in numb e r in the n ex t is s u e of th e J OURNAL. At the sa me time keeping a loo kout for the be st material o nl y

A lth o ugh w e los t tw enty m en last s pring by graduation s till we had seventeen active m embers to s tart the ye ar 's work with. VIe held a smoker ea rl y in the fall to which all of th e Master Masons of the school wer e invited. A ll had a very nice time and we became acquainted with the n ew material in the sc ho o l.

As ye t we have initiated no o ne. We planned o ne initiati o n ju s t befo r e the h o lida ys but our candidat e failed to mak e hi s appearance on account of bad weather.

vVe hav e voted o n th e proficiency of twelve n ew m e mber s, but so far o nly s ix of the se have be en pledged. They are Bros. Ne wcomb and Ash of the m edica l sc hool, Sprague, Stamp and Armour of the dental school, aml Hartman of the law sc hool. All of these men look like very good material for Acacia. We are planning to begin the initiation of these candidate s as soo n a s work is resumed after the holidays

We are plea se d to report that our plans for a hou se are pretty definite. This ha s been a much talked of proposition in our chapter and the boys are acting with caution a s we realize that it is much harder for a house to ex is t in Chicago than in a smaller place. We want a home very much but feel that it is better to proceed with caution than to have a failure.

As ye t thi s year we have had no social function s, but have planned a dance shortly after the beginning o f the new year. This will be followed b y another ju s t before the cl os e of the sc hool year.

It was our pleasure to have with us at one of our meetings Bro s. C. S Cornell and Merrill Grubb, of Resh Chapter. They have entered medical schools here in Chicago .

A leph -Beth extends to all Acacia Chapters her best wishes for a prosper o u s and happy year. ·

ALEPH -DALETH CHAPTER.

SY RA CUS E UNIVEHS ITY, SY RACUSE, NE W YOHK

The bab y w ill b e seven month s o ld the t e nth o f Janu ary , a nd kicking s till. Yes, A lep h-Daleth is ge ttin g along nicely , and w e of th e yo un ges t chap ter are glad of thi s opport unit y of sending gree tin gs t o all the chapt er s . O ur si lence in the November J ouRNAL ma y have indicat ed t h at we were

d ead but s uch wa s not the ca s e ; the fact wa s that we were so busy our h o u se settled and getting things running smoothl y that the wa s neglected until too late.

No tic e o f the granting of the chapter to the Square and Compa ss qub o f S y racu se U niversity was received s everal da y s after the ti ons w e re o v e r, and many of the member s had left the City on their vacati on. The petitioner s were at once called from their homes for the in s tallati o n , which occurred the afterno on of June roth , 191 I, at the Odd Fellow 's t emple of this city. The installing offic er s were Bro s . (\- · R. K e ith , L. 'vV . Morrow, E. M. Holbrook of Cornell , A. A. Jenkins of Harvard and F. A Harvey of California Bro s. Hyde , Goff , Th o mpson, Wilson and Cole , all of Cornell, were also present. Our installation banquet wa s held that ev ening at the Onondaga Hotel. The f o llowing da y all scattered to their homes, and it i s no wonder that the opening of college in September found us rather di sorganized.

Before o ur petition was granted a contract had been s igned for a house for the coming year . v..; e took posse ssion July I St , and Bro. Allen and Bro. Miller occupied it during the summer school. Several of us returned a few da ys before college opened to get the house ready. We found quite a task before us. The hou s e wa s hopelessly lacking in furniture and co oking uten sils. However, Bro. Harris had been doing some hu s tling during the la st few weeks of vacation, and in a few days furniture , bed s , di s he s and cooking utensils began to arrive. On the opening of college, September 19, our table started, and has been running satisfactorily and without interruption ever s ince.

At one of the first meetings of the year, Bro. Hill, a petitioning member, Bro. Harris, who was pledged at the installation, and Bro. Coates, were initiated. The fact that so much had to be done at the beginning of the year to get things running smoothly somewhat prevented us from getting a line on new members right at the start. However , we have initiated three since with the po ssibility of one or two more, and have also taken in two members of the faculty and two alumni members. We are following the policy of inviting those members of the faculty and alumni who took an active intere s t in the Masonic Club and Masonic work. In this way we hope soon to form a strong nucleus to support the active chapter.

At present , there are eleven of us living in this fourteen room house at 405 University avenue. There are also three brothers who come in to meals: one who tow1:, and four faculty members, making a total active membership 111 the umversity of nineteen.

Bro. Mosher was a recent visitor at the chapter house. He is doing research _work the University of Illinois, and reports very congenial surroundmgs w1th the brethren of Heth Chapter.

Bro. Wing is with the General E lectric Company, at Pittsfield , Massachusetts ·

Bro. _Guy Smith , who expected to graduate in the civil engineering cou_rse th1s _commg June, was seriously injured just before college opened. wh1le workmg on the barge canal near Newark, N. J ., so that he will be unable to return to college until next year.

B_ro Topp!ng was a member of the Varsity football squad which made the tnp to OhiO State and St Louis He was very nicely enterta ined ·by Waw Chapter and enjoyed his stay there very much.
