WellToDo Students of Yale Study So¬

ciety Instead of BooksNew Haven Conn July 17Dean

Wright of the Yale academic depart-ment

¬

ina report to President Hadleysays that one of the worst evils inYale is the segregation of rich stu¬

dents in expensive dormitories Hesaid

Perhaps the most serious evil con ¬

nected with this segregation of thewelltodo students is that it is bring¬

ing together especially in the sopho ¬

more year those who aim to form thesociety sets whose chief purpose incollege is popularity and social recog-

nition¬

and to whom for this reasonthe claims of scholarship become sec-

ondary¬

So many of the men who havebeen members of the junior and seniorsociety have remained in these sec ¬

tions that there is more or less preva ¬

lent feeling that room there helpsones chances for social advancement-and this is undoubtedly true-

If the social honors of college areto have any value all men should have-an equal value all men should have-an equal chance to gain them TheYale spirit of fairness is offendedwhen honors are bestowed upon an in-

ferior¬

man because of wealth or su-

perior¬

location or the influence offriends has had an unfair advantageover his fellows
