BRAGDON.ILLINOIS ETA, UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOISIllinois Eta has just entered upon her nineteenth year of existence. Atthe opening of school we had twenty-three old men back, eight of whom wereseniors. From such a bright outlook we can only hope for the best year thatthis chapter has had in some time. The rushing season was exceedinglysuccessful and we had but little trouble in securing the eight men that wemost desired. We will not be able to initiate these men until the secondsemester, and not then unless they pass twelve hours of work. This is anew Pan-Hellenic ruling which has just gone into effect in this institution.Special attention is being paid to our scholarship standing and no doubtwe will be able to initiate all our freshmen.This chapter observed Alumni Day on October 15, and banqueted the newlyformed Alumni Club of Champaign—Urbana. Practically all the town andfaculty Phis were present which made it a very enjoyable gathering.Illinois Eta is preparing for the annual home coming on November 16,and is making efforts to get every alumnus back for it. If we do not getthem back for this home coming we fully intend to get every single one backin 1913, as then we are going to commemorate the twentieth anniversary ofthis chapter with a grand celebration.Illinois Eta is well fixed so far as honors are concerned. Woolston is footballcaptain, Rathbun is football manager, Morris is president of the athleticassociation, Kimbell is interscholastic manager.
