afternoon, the faculty of the De
partment of Economics and Com
merce approved a resolution to
ban all profesional fraternities at
the College that have national or
local constitutions barring mem
bers on grounds of religion, race
or color.
Dr. Sheldon Tanner, sponsor of
Alpha Kappa Psi, newly admitted
Conimerce professional fraternity

and cplor reasons, moved that the
resolution be presented to the Col
lege Senate next week. The mo
tion was seconded by Prof. David
McKinley and passed unanimous
ly by the 25 profesors at the meet
ing. Dr. W. N. Leonard, head of
the department, will present the

of economics and commerce spon
sor a resolution before College

fraternities at the Pennsylvania
