SOME CONSTANTS

Yet certain Dartmouth phenomena have withstood change amidst this evolution. The D. O. C. has turned in another splendid record of accomplishment; and its administration of Carnival was a pleasure to behold. Yet, while even Commons food has taken a turn for the better, the fraternity system is much as it ever was; and the Bema, that overemphasized threat of the non-fraternity men to the existing order, quietly folded its tent and went away. It failed, said one of its leaders, because of the snobbishness of various of its members, and his word will have to stand. We did not expect it to survive; it could not, in direct competition to an established system; and we believe that similar attempts will fail in the future as long as the present physical structure of the College continues to exist. The new Student Union alone may bring the Revolution.

Looking back on a year the importance of which we may well have overestimated, we can state in conclusion that it has at least been a full one. And better years will come.
