Résumé :
Excerpt from The Sigma Phi Epsilon Journal, Vol. 16: March, 1919 Colonel Rees gave us the closest attention and interrupted several times to ask us questions and express his own views. At the close of our argument, he asked us whether we were authorized to speak for the fraternities, and we told him that we were, and called his attention to the memorandum that we had prepared and addressed to him. Then he said that if we would leave this memorandum with him, that he would call a meeting of his committee, render a decision and send us an official reply. During this conference we were asked if we were prepared to say whether fraternities would initiate men, in View of the fact that these men would remain only a short time in the college, as it was the intention to pull men out and send them to a training camp as soon as possible, and he did not think that fraternities would want such men as would not harmo nize with fraternity ideals. We told him that we were not authorized to speak for the fraternities on this matter, the Conference was not a law making body, and could only make recommendations; that each fraternity was the judge of its own membership as to qualifications, and that it would be up to each fraternity to pass on this point; that personally, I agreed with him, that if men were to remain in the S. A. T. C. Such a short time, that I did not think it would be wise to take in such men. He did not refer to this point again.
