"But the biggest thing the Class of shamel, after several days spent de-
21 has done was under the captaincy artfully in Warrenton left last rri
of her Junior president, John Kerr.
It consisted of a tearing down of the
barriers and the building up of a bet
ter feeling between Fraternity and
non-Fraternity. Today there is
scarcely a trace of the old-time
bitterness remaining. Class elections
split. on no lines that could be called
frat. and non-frat. This year the
Seniors held a number of their smok
ers in fraternity Wis, the percentage
of fraternity men in college is larger
than ever before and the relations be
tween frat. and non-frat. men are in
every way most cordial. This happy
state of affairs has not always exist
ed. Those who attended the Univer
sity ten or twenty years ago recall
the bitterness that existed between
the two lasses of University men, the
long drawn out fights, and the gener
ally unhealthy spirit that prevailed
n the campus and out in the State as
a result. It was not until the Class
