The main products of a university are a well stored mind and awell trained body. But there are inaddition to these several by-productswell 'Worth your consideration.

Groups among friends will inevitahly form themselves. and if theyare righly organized it is right thatthey should exist. But a member ofsuch a group should never let hisgroup be larger than himself. Heshould be first a big. broad friend toall. and then. if he chooses. a close,intimate friend to a few.""Do Not Drift"-AngeU.Dean Angell extended greeting' tothe candidates on behalf of the Senior colleges. and pointed out that eachof them should enter the Senior college with some sort of a preconceivedplan of work.uY ou have reached the point." saidhe.

Laditated ., MDaicipal VoIen' Leape.CALLS crrr COUICCIL EFFICIENTSays It Is Made Up of High-GradeMen-Club ElectsOfficers."The city council of Chicago ismore representative of public opinion than any legislative body in theUnited States." This statement wasmade last night by Mr. George C.Sikes in an address before the Commonwealth club in Hitchcock parlor.Mr. Sikes' subject was "MunicipalReforms," and he devoted most ofhis talk to a history of the work accomplished by the 1\1 unicipal Voters'league in making the city council anefficient body.He compared the league's workwith reform movements in othercities, where the prevalent form ofimprovement is through third parties and city parties. He said thatthe city party ill Boston and in NewYork and in many other cities usually was less effective in the long runthan was the league in Chicago."The league," said the speaker,has tended to force the parties inChicago to nominate men of bettercaliber. Although the candidateshave not been of conspicuously efficient type there has been a far.Tess�;'te--;;dency to· �am� the �otoriouslYcrooked aldermen.Good Men in Council."The council is not made up ofangels, but a higher grade of menhas been selected and in a few casesmighty useful men have been elected. The improved tenor of the council has continued for a number ofyears now and is evidenced by thefact that the present investigationshe;ng conducted are disclosing faultson the administration, while the-council is practically entirely freefrom criticism."The speaker outlined chronologically the work of the MunicipalVoters' league from its origin. Theleague was formed in 1896 at a timewhen conditions were notoriouslyrotten. The aldermen were engagedin wholesale and systematic fleecingof the public-service corporations andof the public. "It was intended atfir�t:' said II r, Sikes "to start a newmunicipal party, but the organization soon developed into anotherform which it has maintained practically ever since. namely, an executive committee of nine men, whohave carried out the league's work.Steady Improvement lIade."The league has never been sensationally successful, but by carefullyinvestigating the records of thenominees for the council has cndeavorcd with varying but steadily increasing success tv secure a gradually better and better stamp of men tosit on the council. This steady improvement has now made the citycouncil of Chicago more r cpr c scutativc of public opinion than any legi-Iativc body in the country."One oi the grcarc-t accomplishments oi the league was its successafter five or six years of effort ineffecting the non-partisan organization of the council in place of theold division on the basis of nationalparties, which had no force in cityaffairs."The league has advised the indcpendent vote on all candidates whereformerly the voters were unable to(Continued on Page 4.)) 0I {THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY.

And con.sequently they makea rush for the libraries..That Sullivan struck a responsivechord in the hearts of all the studentspresent was evidenced by the applause with which his rema�ks werereceived.

While itis true we are working harder nowthan before. that does not necessarilyimply that we are working too hardnow. \Ve may not have done enoughbefore.

The object ofthe fraternity, according to its organizers, is to stimulate interest in college journalism and elevate its standard.· They say that very often a lackof interest has been shown along thisline and it is the object of the organization to give men something towork for which will have a value after college days are over.In order ,to make this feasible theyhave placed rather rigid restrictionson membership. The candidate musthave served creditably for at leasttwo years on a college daily or be anundergraduate editor-in-chief of another college publication on 'Which hehas served two years.Hereafter the two year limit will bein force. so that the fraternity willsoon consist entirely of upperclassmen. 1 t is hoped that in time the organization may spread and becomenational.
