SOCIETIES DISBAND

On April 27 the following notice appeared in The Dartmouth: "By unanimous action, we, the members of the Turtle Junior Society deeming that the organization is in opposition to the true meaning of Dartmouth, do hereby resolve

"That the society be abolished

"That we sincerely advise against the formation of any similar society in the future. R. L. Bennett, H. A. Barends, E. A. Davis, for Turtle."

Thus does the only junior society in Dartmouth pass away in its tenth year of existence. Among its alumni are many men prominent in all lines of college activity, particularly in athletics. The members of Turtle who took this step must be given credit for an unselfish act done in the interest of the whole College.

Closely following the announcement of the disbandment of Turtle, comes the announcement of the disbandment of Gamma Delta Epsilon, a local fraternity established in 1908. At the time of disbanding there were thirty-four active members among the undergraduates.
