CHAPTER LETTERS.
GAMMA—VA. UNION. A signal instance of the social advantages of organized fraternal union may be observed during this season of the year when the College teams are intervisiting. Recently Gamma has welcomed here Brothers Matthews and Stone, of Beta; Brother Muir, of Nu, manager of the Lincoln base ball team, and Brother Cain, also of Nu. The occasion for such personal contact has not been without its effect. They, for instance, know personally twenty more brothers, and we know at least four. At a recent election of officers of the Athletic Association, the student body evinced its regard for the ability of certain men for responsible offices by electing as President of the Association Brother J. S. Johnson, as Secretary Brother H. D. Shaw, Assistant Secretary Brother W. A. Hall, Manager of base ball, Brother V. D. Johnston. The present Manager and Captain of the 1915 base ball team are Brothers Buckner and Daniel, respectively. The tennis team, including the manager, composed entirely of A. Phi A. men, has recently returned bearing a victory from Saint Paul. Brother G. W. Buckner, class 1915, has been chosen by the C. I. A. A. for one of its officials. Brother C. A. Lindsay,' class of 1915, has been asked to deliver the Annual Address before the students of Va. N. and I. I., Petersburg, Va. A recent investigation of the scholarship of college men here showed an advantage of 10 per cent, for A. Phi A. men over non-Fraternity men. Gamma will lose 6 members by graduation. o
EPSILON—UNIVERSITY O F MICHIGAN Among the many interesting features of our Chapter life since our last writing was our spring initiation, which was as usual very interesting for the
candidate. Any one doubting this may ask Brother J. A. Dian, who was the victim. The most important happening, however, was the annual banquet which was visited by our Alumni and presided over by our president. Many interesting speeches were made after a very elaborate repast of French dishes and drinks of a mild but enticing nature. Each Chapter was remembered as we smoked the pipe of peace and drank the cordials of harmony. Brother Roxbury, an Honorary member, and Brother J. H. Hilburn were in attendance' and gave us many words of advice and good cheer. Brother J. A. White gave them an appropriate welcome in response. Brother J. P. Rodgers gave a very vivid hi.r tory of Epsilon and closed his remarks with an outburst of feeling which made us feel the placidity of our brotherhood. Brother Raiford told us tritely of the benefit he had gained since being a member of the Fraternity. This benefit shows that there is a decided good in Fraternity life. Brother S. D. Sparks' words will never be forgotten by those who heard him. Wishing much success to our sister Chapters, we remain as ever Epsilon. J. A. W H I T E . o ZETA—YALE

Already the unifying influence of the heart to heart talks in the first issue have been felt in every Chapter. Zeta is willing to lend her aid and cooperation to any move that will maintain the high standing to which The Sphinx has been raised.
