Hill and Boulware were ushers at the muchheralded Redding-Locke nuptials on the 29th of December in Baltimore, which received so much comment. The bride is a member of one of the families of the Ethiopian aristocracy of that city. Bros. Dawson and Carpenter spent the holidays in Baltimore, and the other members spent the period at their respective homes. On January 4th the college activities were continued, and, all the brethren having returned, the pendulum of A. P. A. began to swing upward again. Owing to the proximity of the midyears, which are epochs in the Lincoln student life, the brethren contented themselves to wait until after the same to hold their- first meeting.

The report of our worthy President and Delegate was received at the first meeting, and, aside from the progress of the general organization, Nu was favorably impressed w i l l the renewal of her impression of the advanced aim of A.

Nu extends greeting to all Chapters and trusts that this year will be one of unusual success. GEO. B O U L W A R E .

Bros. Quinn F. Montgomery and George P. Hinton were our delegates to the National Convention. Pi is desirous of taking this opportunity to thank our brother Chapters for the confidence placed in us by the election of Bro. G. P. Hinton to the important office of National Secretary. Bro. Montgomery has left to matriculate in the University of Illinois. We are sorry to lose Bro. Montgomery, but feel that he will ably represent Alpha Phi Alpha in this university of the Middle West. On February 2d the Chapter held a banquet in honor of Bro. Montgomery. As usual at such gatherings, everyone had a ripping good time. Bro. H. Ardene Leatherman, who is attending Purdue University, spent the holidays in the city, and was able to be present at two very good meetings of the Chapter. "Ardie," as he is more familiarly known, has a faculty for bright and happy thoughts. The latest of them is that there should be two departments to our research work. In addition to that already provided for in the ritual, he indorses a research committee of which every member attending any college should be a member. While at the said institution he would have said committeeman make elaborate and exhaustive notes upon
