THE RUSHING SEASON

Further trial for the "open" rushing season, with the recommendation that rushing be more deliberate, was voted by the Dartmouth fraternities after a series of conferences. The rushing system will practically duplicate that of last year, and is governed by only two rules: that no pledge shall be considered binding upon a freshman until he shall have matriculated; and that no pledge shall be considered binding upon a member of the College until he shall have voluntarily requested in writing that the pledge be made public.

That the open season, taken in a safe and sane fashion, is perhaps the much desired solution of the annual Dartmouth rushing tangle seemed to be the sentiment of almost all the fraternity delegates. It was a noticeable fact that this spring's was the first fraternity conference in many years at which the existing rushing season had been able to retain enough supporters to prevent radical changes.
