Excerpt from Sigma Phi Epsilon Journal, Vol. 42: November 1944 Pike's Peak. The basic character of fraternity, as we shall presently call in example to attest, is one of the noblest endowments of man by his Creator. Fraternity chapter houses can, and frequently do, exist in circumstances of the purest, most stimulating and inspiring nobility; but only where all of the influences of the campus and college are beneficial, which, provided proper effort is exerted by the colleges, they generally can be. A campus influence would 'be severely harmful, for example, which permitted but one fraternity chapter, limited to sixty mem bers, to exist where there was an enrollment of a thousand men. A campus influence would be harmful which permitted the matriculation in quan tity of incompetent scholars. A campus influence would be harmful which omitted protection or guidance for a fraternity chapter in the face of big-city temptations, distractions, and pitfalls. Indeed, a campus influence will be harm ful wherever the college does not have the proper ideals, standards, goals, leadership.
