Student waiting jobs in the fraternities are filled by fraternity men, not men in the same fraternity, but men "traded" with a nearby fraternity. As a result there is an utter lack of snobbishness in regard to waiters in fraternities, except in a few very rare instances. This attitude extends to the waiters in the sororities and public restaurants, many of the latter of whom are students...
Oldest (32 years) and largest (400) of orthodox rabbi groups, the Agudath Harabonim (Union of Orthodox Rabbis of U. S. and Canada), met in Lakewood, N. J. last week to tackle money matters.

Every Harvard team from football to chess reflected it, and lost gracefully to Yale with a consistency that enervated H men from the third story cheer leader to President Lowell...
What might lead one to believe this spirit is passing, or will pass in the future is the external factor of the new colleges. But a more noticeable and internal evidence of a change in spirit, or lack of expression of it, is the apparent passing of the singing of Yale songs, and the paucity of new, original compositions...
