THE SCIMITAR
An honorary fencing fraternity, known as the "Scimitar," was started several years ago at the University of Illinois. It remained local in character for a year or more and then spread to the University of Michigan. Michigan State College has just organized a chapter and the University of Detroit and Lawrence Institute of Technology are reported as organizing chapters at the present time.
The aims of the organization are to promote national collegiate fencing, general fencing competition, conduct tournaments among college students and further the best ideals of sportsmanship. Any collegians interested may obtain further information from Mr. William Hammond, 208 Beal Street, East Lansing, Michigan.
