SaDinaia Witty Speeches.SU�VAN RAPS HONOR POBITSNew System of Marking Declared toHave Wrought Hardships onAll Students.Professor Frank Justus Miller,Dean Angell of the Senior colleges,Dean Smith of the Junior collegesand Charles L. Sullivan, Jr., '11, werespeakers at the quarterly class exer­cises of the Junior colleges in Man­del hall yesterday. Sixty-six students'were greeted as candidates for the ti­tle of associate, 35 men and 31 wom­en. At the convocation exercises tobe held Monday titles will be formal­ly conferred upon them.Professor Miller, who delivered theaddress of the day, took as his topic"The By-Products of the College Fac­tory.""All large fa-ctories," he said, "man­ufacture chief products and by-prod­ucts. 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. I willpoint out but three of them to you inmy limited time, and hope that theymay suggest others. The first ofthese is a knowledge of men.

Injournalism, in politics, in social lifeand in any other college activities astudent may obtain knowledge whichwll fit him for a broader understand­ing of society and the things societyis doing."The third by-product and perhapsthe greatest of all is friendship. Heapknowledge upon knowledge and it isnothing to the man who has it if hehas failed to fit himself for compan­ionship among his fellow beings.Every student should cultivate friend­ship. 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.

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.

CbiC.eo START A JOURNALISTICFRATERNITY AT SYRACUSEPi Delta Epsilon Organized to Pro­mote College Journalism-ToMake Society NationalA number of men in Syracuse uni­versity who are interested in collegejournalism have organized an honor­ary college journalistic fraternity.The name' of the new organizationis Pi Delta Epsilon. 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. I f any college daily withsufficient number of men eligible toform a chapter asks for a charter. ar­rangements have been made so thatthis will be possible.
