The delegates of Delta Kappa Epsilon assembled at Providence, October 18. Reports from twenty-six chapters are encouraging.
Oberlin has the largest college Y. M. C. A. in the world. It numbers nearly 400 members. They have no fraternities at Oberlin.
There is certain fraternity in college which makes constant practice of trying to bulldoze men who have lately been initiated into some other. We should think they would find it sufficient employment for the present to attend to their black sheep. Boys, if you attend to your own business, you will find your hands more than full.
Illinois State University has passed a law that no one shall be matriculated until he pledges himself not to join any secret fraternity while in college.
Dr. McCosh, in a recent letter on the question of societies in Princeton says, that although at first the Faculty were not unanimous in the suppression of secret, and the establishment of open societies, yet at present they are a unit. This is also true, he says, not only of the parents but of the Alumni and a large majority of the students.

To "Attentive Reader:" The problem you send, asking how "a student can place two hours each on five studies, give half an hour to each of his three meals, attend chapel service, take plenty of exercise, prepare for literary societies, learn chapel oration, recite for five hours, and take eight hours rest," is too much for us. We refer you to the Mathematical Department. Perhaps, however, the calculations are made for a student of the "North Polar School of Mines," where the days are eight months long. We don't believe he could do that in K. S. U., unless, indeed, he were an editor.

Robert J. Ingersoll has been selected by the joint committee of the literary societies to deliver the annual address next June. If Mr. Ingersoll consents to come it is safe to say that Mount Oread will not contain the crowd that gathers to hear the popular lecturer. In case he declines the invitation, Robert Burdette has been selected as second and Dan Vorhees as third choice.
