OLLEGE men, this way! (This includes Yale men.) During the summer the High Hat Club has estab- lished chapters in 61+ different cities and towns and has a mem- bership list of 1800.

There are al- ready chapters in the following colleges: Yale, Brown, Ann Ar- bor, Stanford, Syracuse, Rutgers, University of N. Carolina and Ridley College, Ontario. So come one, come all! If you want to die for your dear old Alma Mater, there is no better way of doing it than by becom- ing a local High Hat.
