WORLD TOUR In celebration of his fiftieth (50th) year as a Brother in Alpha Phi Alpha the Reverend Bro. A. Wayman Ward took a tour around the world last year. He was accompanied by the Reverend Bro. S. S. Morris, Jr. The center of the trip was at New Delhi, India, where the two were observers at the World Council of Churches. The inspiration of the tour was a four day visit to

Egypt and the famous Sphinx and pyramids. Here was taken the picture shown in this issue where Bro. Ward posed with the Sphinx and Pyramid as his background. The sands around were suggestive of those hot sands a p proaching the mysteries of Alphadom. Seventeen other countries were visited, including of course the Holy Land •and the historic spots where once walked the Jesus of Biblical knowledge.

Theta Theta Lambda, Frankfurt, Germany Newly Established BETA THETA LAMBDA by Bro. Jomes A. Johnson A chapter has been recently established in the area of Frankfurt, Germany.
