n addition to small group chapter meetings, delegates gained practical solutions to common problems and new ideas from their brothers through morning roundtables which addressed fundamental areas of chapter management. One of the Academy highlights was a reception for Washington, D.C. area alumni featuring remarks by Brother Austin H. Kiplinger, Cornell '39. Kiplinger is a noted publisher and author, best known for his work as Editor of the Kiplinger Washington Newsletter and publisher of Changing Times Magazine. He received the Fraternity's Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1990. His remarks on the value of Fraternity, and particularly, his Delta Upsilon experience, were motivational for all in attendance. Academy participants got a break from the rigor of the curriculum when they toured Washington, D.C. after the alumni reception, seeing the majesty of many of D.C.'s monuments in a special nighttime tour. Support for the Academy was provided by generous alumni donations to the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation so that participants only paid $125 for the weekend experience. Alumni have the opportunity to sponsor their chapter's delegates to future Presidents Academies and can obtain information on how to do so by contacting the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation.
