Page:The Fraternity and the Undergraduate (1923).pdf/235

 many of the mistakes which fraternities make could be solved at rushing time if the fraternity would take the trouble and the time to find out a little more definitely what the purposes of the new men are. The time of the fraternity is usually wasted if the men do not stay beyond the first or second year. Accidents happen, of course, the unexpected comes to pass, and things occur which make it necessary at one time or another for every man to change his plans, but it is possible, I believe, if the facts are found out at rushing time, and if the organization of the fraternity is properly looked after and the scholarship kept up, to graduate seventy-five per cent of the initiates rather than fifty per cent as at present.
