An occurrenceot particular significance inrelation to fraternities at the Universityof Toronto is the expansionof university facilities—an expansionwhich entails the expropriation ofthe chapter houses of many fraternities.Our chapter house, however,situated as it is on the peripheryof the campus will, in all probability,not be affected. To advance to amore optimistic subject, an increasingnumber ot brothers have beenturning up at the chapter houseminus their swords and shields. Theparade began with Brother Josling,our past president, who, displayingexcellent leadership qualities, seemsto have convinced another sevenbrothers to follow suit.—RonaldSlaght, V.P.ONTARIO BETA, University ofWestern Ontario.—This year hasproven, so far, the most successfulof Ontario Beta's three-year life.
