Uo c?tll Ti Kgpps: IT H the reopening of the colleges comes again greater opportunities for fraternal growth and service in the Fraternity. I extend greetings particularly at this time to our undergraduate brothers, now assembled for the work of the school year 1925 -2 6. Need I urge you to try to make the year a most successful one? You are now either (( looking over" or have taken in many new men. There lies your greatest personal responsibility ; be sure these are given all possible encouragement and help in order that they may develop into leaders and good citizens, with good results to them selves, the Fraternity, and mankind.

Let our record be one of accomplishment; strengthened by new and alert men, let every chapter stand out as a model of manhood, courage, and energy among the fraternities on its campus.

Fraternally,

J~路

quirement of knowledge gives Pi Kappa Phi, and all fraternities, the reason for their existence, for if young men did not go to coll ege, there would be no excuse for their establishment. Pi Kappa Phi was organized to erve th se young men away from home but let us not lose . ight of the real reason for their being away from home. L'pon the shoulder. of th e officers of the undergraduate chapter falls the re ponsibility of the chapters' records of classroom achievement and scholarship mu t be kept paramount in the mind s of the undergraduate brothers. l'i Kappa Phi, at the various institutions where it is repre ented, has maintained enviable record s but the best is yet to be attained . 11 Iake thi s year outstanding for our scholarship.

Looking Toward Chicago

W ITHI

just a few hort months, the Thirteenth Supreme Chapter of the Fraternity will be convened at Chicago, where wi ll gather repre entatives from Pi Kappa Phi's undergraduate and alumni chapter in all ections of the country. This is the biennial foun tain head of the fraternity's enthusiasm, which caught up and concentrated in one place, hows the fraternity as it is in four corners of the earth.

At the Charlotte, Berkeley, and AtlantaSupreme Chapter every si ngle undergraduate chapter of the Fraternity wa repr sented and this is no time to break the chain. Every chap-

THE STAR AND LAMP of ter should now be preparing to send its official delegate to Chi cago. L:nder our arrangement of fin anci ng, which is just and fair to all, each chapter bea rs th e same amount of th e expenses of all the delegates. Each chapter should be setting asid e a sum to meet th e expenses of its del egate. By thi s plan , it will not be hard for any one g roup.

The editor can not urge too strongly upon the chapter office rs th e importance of giving thought and action to this qu estion . A n assessment, lev ied each month upon each member , is not a bad arrangement, and di vides th e total so that it is not burd ensome upon any man. ,\IV

Our New Treasurer RO'I' I-ll~ R J. CHESTER REEVES,

t\ lph a, has been appointed by the Supreme CounciJ to fill out the un expired term of our lamented brother, Willi am Fogarty.

The editor bespeaks the fullest coope ration of the fraternity with B rother Reeves, who has a difficult post at best. His is no easy task and without the helping hand of those in th e underg radu ate chapters, with whom most of hi s work li es, the job will be all the harder.

11rother Reeves is a man thoroughly imbued with the glorious spirit of Pi Kappa Phi and is eve ry inch a P i Kapp. His election to the Supreme Council of the Fraternity, for which he has labored for year s, is an honor well bestowed and ri chl y . deserved.

Four New Homes 0 · R chapters begin the 1924-25 school year with new hom es of their own: Tu at th e Uni versity of Nebraska . O micron at the U niversity of Alabama , Psi at Cornell U niversity, and Alpha-Beta at Tulane U niver ity.

These chapters are to be congratulated and the editor extend s best wishes for a larger and more useful life beneath their own roofs.

Thi s is a reco rd th e Fraternity might well be proud of, for it indicates greater stability and permanence. Nothing stamps a man as a worthwhile citizen as the ownership of hi s own home. lt is no less true for a Fraternity chapter.

important and enviable position, in that no other city in the U nited States can offer more attractions for amu ement and diversion. This city i a natural playground a well as an industrial and educational center. Let us stop and study the city from this angle.

Railways: Chicago i the largest railroad center in the world. Thirty-nine railroads, including twenty-three trunk lines, terminate in Chicago. Forty per cent of the railway mileage of the nited States radiates from this city. It is the final de tination of every· train that enters its boundaries, no road running through Chicago. In every twenty-four hours, 1,. 339 passenger trains arrive and depart from the Chicago stations, carrying 200,000 passengers.

Cli111ate: Chicago's weather is an invaluable asset. Lake Michigan moderates the effect of heat and cold wave , and the breeze from the lake are rich in ozone: th ir effect i bracing and timulating to body and mind. It will, however. be well to bring you r flannels and a heavy overcoat, 'cau e we never know when it's apt to get windy or tart to rain.

Pa.rks and Bouleva.rds: Leaving the hotel we go acros the loop and land on M ichigan Boulevard. It may be pos ible to reach Michigan Boulevard via the new \r\Tacker Drive along the river by the time we are ready. This drive is now under con truction at the cost of millions .of dollars. It was nece ary to demoli h the old South \Vater Street if arket in order to make way for " acker Drive. Here' hoping that it is fini heel o we may enjoy it.

After leaving the hotel or \Vacker Drive. the fir t point of interest i the new "Boulevard Link Bridge." which spans the Chicago river and wa opened to the public in May, 1920. With the completion of the Link bridge and its one hundred and thirty-five foot wide approach, the chain of boulevard from Jackson Park on the

At the right as one is about to enter the famous Midway stands the Fountain of Time, scu lptured by Lorado Taft and showing the passage of humanity in its journey from mystery into mystery before the si.lent shrouded reviewer, Father Time. A little further clown to the left will be seen the beautiful buildings of the University of Chicago.

Jackson Park, scene of the \Vorlcl's Fair, is reached next. The ruins of the German building, the Fine Arts building, and the Japanese structure on the wooded island are about all that remain. The way north leads through Hyde Park, down Drexel Boulevard and then over to South Parkway and finally over the Illinois Central tracks and down the outer drive. This outer drive is built on entirely newly made land and has been accompli shed at the expense of many millions of dollars. Eventually it will consist of a beautiful park a long the shores of Lake Michi gan. Along its path located to the left stands the stadium which at present is on ly half

comp leted. When finished it will have co~t · 11 ~~il.lion dollars and will seat 125,000 pe~i; I hen come the Field :M useum of I atural . 0 tory and finally the Art Institute and Michtga Bou levard, and the Convention Headquarter~.

The Chicago spirit is the sec ret of the cit)~; greatness. It wa the Chicago spirit that 111 \ 1 possible the many activities for the advance 111 \ 1 of the city. It built the drainage channel, :hi parks and boulevards, the forest preserves, h r libraries and museums and the numerous 0 \ ~­ achievements and places of interest. Chicago '' f shown its greatness most clearly in times .~ . disaster. In October, 1871, the heart of the C';r was wiped out by the great fire and the mant;hl in which Chicago laid the foundations ~f of magnificent metropolis of today in the nuns d• tee · that autumn day, ranks among the great c of the cities of the world.

To think that in three-quarters of a centtt~­ Ch icago has grown to a city of three million pe 1 pie and an area of more than two hundred sq~a~t· miles, we must concede that it is an accomPh\. ment which has no parallel in rapid and perrtl• nent growth.

Benefits to Local Chapters The convention floor is th e open market for the exchange of ideas. Each del egate should come with a stock from hi s local chapter and return loaded with good suggestion s obtain ed from hi s brother delegates. Iota Chapter has developed a scheme for financing th e building of a chapter house which is presented to the convention and its del egate obtains some helpful hints for more effective chapter di scipline. In like mann er a delegate may bring the problems with which the chapter has found difficulty and learn from a brother how such has been avoided by a different arrangement.

No brother who has taken an active part in the affairs of hi s chapter fails to appreciate the importance of real enthu siasm on the part of every member and pledge. It is the quality which determin es whether a local chapter leads or brings up the r ear. The success ful convention is a fountain of enthu siasm at which each delegate may drink hi s fill and return to encourage hi s brothers to do g reater things for hi s fraternity. ]" u rth er the local chapter may have a g rievance. The convention furnishes an opportune time to have it redressed. The local chapter may wi sh as a body to perform some brotherly act to a noth er chapter much as one brother would assist another in hi s own chapter . The convention g ives the opportunity w ith sympathetic broth er s to help. Thus, the convention is the assembly of the chapte rs as the chapter hall is the meeting place of th e broth ers.

Be nefits to Individual Brother W hether he attend the convention o r not, each Pi Kapp is goi ng to be benefited by being a member of a better national organization and a better loca l chapter . J-{e wi.ll also indirectly, through the brother who attends, in a way participate in the many advantages found there.

But to the Pi Kapp who is present fall s the lion 's share of the good things w hich a convention brings to the individual.

He cannot be present without becoming a better P i Kapp. I-:le cann ot meet and tall( and work with men who a re g iv ing freely of their time and energy to the fraternity, ofttimes at no

'l'he University of Edinburgh has no 01;ganized athl etic activities, no specia l physical director, no football coaches. This does not mean the U niversity is w ithout sports. The students are enthusiastic sport supporters. A t the Rugby and football games there is no cheering, as ide from individual yelling. One who is in the habit of attending American fo tball games and basketball games and giving vent to one's lungs will feel depressed at the glances of reproach from the eyes of n earby spectators if one unexpectedly lets out a screaming yell , because they do not participate in noisy outbursts at regu lar intervals. The University Rugby teams have no organized support from the students. During the winter international football games attract more attention than coll egiate sports. Golf is the most popul ar game in warm weather. Bowling on the g reen has its followers. Most a ll of the prepar atory schools play lacrosse and R ugby.

A student spending a yea r in a foreign Uni versity is the recipi ent of certain benefit . Travel, as · a factor in education, should not be lightly valued. It enl a rges one's sympathi es, cultivates intell ectual, nationali ti c and racial toleration and, broadens one's outlook in life. A second benefit is that of becoming acquainted with new books, new magazines a nd new currents of thought. One makes new menta l friend§.

LAMP, Broth er Shelley Sansbury, 0 , of tntroduces a subj ect which must increasingly ief 1 ; ngage th e attenti on and consideration of the een Sraternity, and especially of the members of th e 1uc. f llpreme Council to w hom th e fraternity looks 111 al or guidance. How lm·ge do we wan t our fratis tentity to be? ig!l 'I'he last Supreme Chapter of the fraterni ty 'he , ~dmirably revised the Constitution and Supreme the aws . Our house is in or der.

Vve mu st have numbers, but .tid of sup reme 1mportance · · qu a 1·1ty.

JS eir P i K appa P hi has established 30 chapters in 2. 0 Years. O f these 27 are active, and are in r)'rs· tnstituti ons of stability. A ll of these acti ve :er cfhapters ought to be in existence fifty years of rotn now. In the meantime, how many more chapters shall we charter ? And where?

We have before us the examp le of several rapid expansioni sts in the fraternity fi eld. There a:e also the examples of older, mature, but f' Vtril e and growing orders. Is P i Kappa P hi :ll to become a chaser after number s? O r a re we ·e to set a goal as far as numbers a re concerned, ~ncl then devote all of our effort to th e realizatton of our spiritual ideals, and to the advance111 ent of fratern ali sm and the Christ Spirit by a?opting and supporting a worthy piece of soCta! service?

Brother Sansbury suggests 45 as the ideal 11 11111ber of chapters, prov iding they are geographi cally well located. Vve have been cha rteri 11 g a bou t three chapters a year, dunng · t 11e f: st four years. A t that rate we shall have I e 45 by 1932. A nd then ?

a-year-six-year program, and the adopting of a conse rva tive plan whi ch will p lace us in the same cl ass with Delta Kappa E psilon, Theta Delta Chi , and Delta Upsil on, as fa r as expansian is concerned.

P i Kappa P hi has in t he past been careful , yes conservative, in her expansion. T he fraternity as a body beli eves in a comparatively small membership. We are commi tted to certain ideals, which if lived up to, will always force us to maintain high standards. Mushroom growth will be impossibl e if the fraterni ty is to remain P i Kappa P hi .

W here th en shall we expand ? I nto what states? Into what instituti ons?

We now occupy 15 of the 49 divisions of the u ni on. O f our 27 chapters, 18 are in 7 Southern States-our Solid South. T he remaining 9 chapters a re in 7 states, strung fro m coast to coast, with considerabl e space between. In the D ecember, 1924, S·rAR AND LAMP the editor showed us " where we fli cker and where we shin e."

To solidify and uni te our southern and nor thcentral states, we must enter Penn sylvania, Maryland, O hi o, Kentucky, Tennessee, M issouri , Kansas, and Iowa. If we beli eve in coloni zati on, here is our territory . T hen, on into M ichigan, 'vVisconsin, M innesota, the Dakotas, and west into Colorado. For th e present we need not consider the eight plateau, and the New E ngland States, as fields fo r expansion, but deal with such petitions as may be sent in from these sections.

Vl/e ought, however, to definitely cultivate the states previously mentioned. We will be f oolish, if we don't. Ways and means of doing th ese can be considered at another time. U ndoubtedl y, a defini te progra m of expansion will be presented at the Chi cago meeting of th e Supreme Chapter. Let us be p repared for its consideration.

===========================================================~ ~ THE STAR AN D LAM P of Pr KAPPA Pr-rr In all di scussion upon expansion, we mu st bear in mind that higher education in A merica has not as yet r eached its ultimate form o f organization , that there a re signs of coming rad ical changes. \iV itn ess the junior college movement, the lowe r and upper divisions of the undergraduate liberal arts and science coll eges, J ohn s Hopkin s' new program. It is becoming in creasingly ev ident that m any of the small colleges will be forced to junior coll ege rank, and th at the arts and science coll eges of the g reat uni versiti es wi ll a dmit only those students who have compl eted the junior coll ege course. ]t is possibl e that in time we shall have junior fraternities, as we now have juni or so rorities, and that some of th e present fraterniti es will become "junior" while others will turn over cer tain of their chapters to the juni or organization:-;.

In this conn ection it is interesting and informative to scrutini ze th e enrollm ent and endowments of the 27 P i Kapp coll eges and uni verSiti es.

Tn the seven "occupied" states li sted above, there are 1 -~ "unoccupied" institutions which qua ]ify. Jn the 24 "unoccupied" states, there are 44 institution s.

Tt was contended two years ago that if the sma ller fraternities were encouraged to grow and answer the appeal for fraternity fellow ship which comes from coll eges so crowded with fine material that much of it lost out, because the char)ters were already overcrowded, that at Jeast to an extent the move for more new fraternities would be unnecessary. These 86 new chapters have added an estimated increase to the fraternity world of at least 2,500 men. The contention has been justified and the manner in which the fraternities responded to the suggestion, w hi ch appeared in practically every fraternity magazine publi shed, has been an amazing justification of the apr)eal.

Whi le the number of chapters has changed in all cases but one, in the leading ten fraternities it is interesting to see that their relative posi-

H E following brothers will please step forward and look intelligent. However, before giving the reader the pleasure of a mental picture of this dashing group of officers, let us explain that we endeavored to get an actual photograph of this crew, but clue to the fact that l~ rog Reames and Fritz Carothers insisted on ''being in ,'' the picture was a total failure. Anyway, allow me to introduce, the fo llowing young oi'fice rs: G. R. l11aloc1<, Beta; R. R. Carothers, Omicron; C. T. Chipley, Zeta; W. L. Dickson, l ~ta; \\'. II.

Th ese brothers were unfortunate enough to have signed up fo1· ·'a vacation at the government's expense."

Consequently, they found themselves, on Jun e 12, at Camp McCle ll an, Anniston, A la.

For a time, eve rybody was occupied with getting acquainted. but finally we got the bunch together for a forma l meeting. On the night of June 29th, we held our first meeting, and, after electing officers, we decided to meet every Monday night. At this meeting the fo llowing officers were elected: Yarbrough, Archon; Carothers. Secretary; Young. Treasurer, and Stapleton, Chaplain. \Ve reso lved to make thi s group of Pi Kapps, so we ll rep resentativ e of our fraternity, into a temporary chapter, as nearly like a regular chapter as possible, and to render every possible aiel to our brothers in the city in lining up men for next yea r and in getting ourselves establi shed in Anniston. The following brothers from the city immediately fell in line and rendered invaluable assistance: A I Bains, A lpha-Eta, and R. C. Wi.lliam s. N. S. Morgan and H. H. Hooten, all of O micron.

L 'l'H OUGFI th e end of only our first term on the campus as a chapter of P i Kappa Phi is past we have already begun to feel th e a dd ed importance and responsibiliti es. T he in ter val between las t May 9 and th e clo e of that term saw several inn ovati ons and changes of whi ch we are extremely proud .

Th e scholastic marks and ave rages have not as yet been all compiled so we have been un able to asce rta in our ranking among the fraterniti es bu t we fee l assured of a promin ent pos iti on.

Last term saw the g raduation and depa rture of eight of our men as foll ows: Geo rge Q uigley, a rchon ; Manl ey B rooks, \i\filliam Baker, Louis Do rdeaux, R ussel Clew ly, Ru ssel Gaul t, Cla rk S inclair, and J ame Stevens. It is to the guidance and wise counsel of th ese men th at we owe mu ch of our present posit ion.

Ju st prior to the close of the sp ring term election of offi ce rs was held with th e foll ow ing results: A rchon, O rson Bird; Treasurer, F ranklin Creage r ; Secreta ry, H a rry Smith ; H istori an, Th oma J ermin ; Chapl ain , F rancis Beeman ; \\'a rd en, \iValdo P roctor.

Th e evening of Jun e 19 ma rked th e extremely successful fin a le fo r a n extremely success ful yea r. Deginning with the lea t important thing f irst, it marked th e close of th e coll ege year ; and second , it was the evening of our first pa rty as the Alpha-Th eta Chapter of P i Kap pa P hi . A b~ n q u et fo ll owed by dancing was held at the Meadowla rk Inn nea r J ackson. T he J ackson De 1[ olay O rchestra f urni shed the music.
