At the same time. it demands of: him that he g ive his very best efforts to the realization of these possibilities, if th ey are to contribute to hi s mental training and to the building of hi s character.

Pi Kappa P hi wants her athletes who wear the star and lamp to keep their bodies clean a nd their minds alert, to fight fairly a nd fearlessly. to uph old be for e the world the honorable traditions of their A lma Mater. establi shed by gen erati ons of her sons.

INTERESTING DATA CON-

THE

award of one hundred dollars for being d ~he most efficient chapter of the Fraternity Curmg the year of 1929-30 will go to Omega bhapter, located at Purdue University. It has een asked time and again which of the chapters ~ 0 ttld be given first place in a comparative ratIng, and now, by means of the first annual con~est conducted by the Central Office, this has een ascertained. With an excell ent personnel, ~0 y1e number of forty-odd men, and a splendid Ptnt of co-operation among them, Omega was a~le to accumulate a total of 2,075 points to Wtn. " 'I'he winning chapter cannot be said to have wa!ked away" with the contest, however. Alpha 0 ~路Heron (Iowa State) with a total number of POtnts of 1,915 ran a very close second and becomes the recipient of the addressing equipment ~":'arded to the runner-up. It is quite fitting that . ts chapter should get this particular award, for ~t c.ertainly takes first place among the chapters ~n ~ts contact with the alumni of the chapter, . aVtng distributed during the year five issues of tts Publication, The Almicron. During the past summer the Central Office received the summer anct sixth issue. b I~ might be said that Omega won the award Its excellent scholastic showi ng, by its COm~ ete co-operation with Central Office, and by the t romptness with which each member of the chapPaid hi s obligations. Alpha Omicron is also t? be congratulated on the last fact. In addi/011路 this chapter won many points by its activity 11 co~municating with the alumni , by its co0 oPeratton with Central Office, and by becoming s路e of two chapters to subscribe 100% to the n 1.story and Directory.

N MAY 16, 1930, Pi Kappi Phi entered the "Panhandle" state and selected for its thirty-ninth undergraduate chapter the local fr~ternity Delta Epsilon, located at the West VIrginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia. l3 1'he installation ceremonies were in charge of rather John R. Gass, Eighth Di strict Archon; assisted by Dr. A. Pelzer Wagener, Supreme irchon; Brother J ohn C. John ston, Supreme reasurer; Brother Edwin C. Jones, Upsilon; anct a member of the Faculty at the University, and an initiation team of six from A lpha Nu iha1~ter, consisting of Brothers Freel Rector, R. chvm Stickel, Walter Insley, Marcy Powell, Obert Crossley and A lvin Frye.

It was a glorious event for the men of Delta ~.Psilon, and Pi Kappa Phi has acquired a splenJd group of young men and a well-organized ~nd progressive chapter. E laborate preparations or the social part of the in stallati on had been ~~?e by the local fraternity, the high lights of 11 Ch were a formal banquet, formal dance and reception . The installati on consumed three days ~d there was something do ing every minute. · Wonderful spirit of {ri endlin ess and loyalty Prevailed among the thirty odd visiting Pi Kapps ~Presenting the following chapters: A lpha, Psi, ·/o, Kappa, Omega, Upsil on, X i, Theta, Alpha heta, Alpha Mu, and A lpha Nu.

Promptly at the appointed hour on Friday morning, all candidates, the members of the installing group, and many visiting brothers assembled in the ballroom of the Hotel Morgan and the ceremonies started. After an hour's recess for lunch, the installation proceeded, and when the smoke had cleared, twenty-seven men had been initiated into the mysteries and fellowship of Pi Kappa Phi. A splendid feature of the installation was the initiation of Dr. John E. Winter, head of the department of Psychology at the University, and his son, James E. Winter, a Senior. Dr. Winter is an alumnus of Delta Epsilon. The charter was very ably and impressively presented by Dr. Wagener, a former member of the Faculty at the University.

FoRMAL BANQUET HELD

Capping the events of the day, a formal banquet was held in the main dining room of the hotel, with places marked for fifty. The big table was arranged in the form of a letter "U" and was decorated in the colors of the Fraternity.

Huge vases of reel roses also adorned the table and everyone present was given a rose as a token of friendship. Brother Edwin C. Jones presided as toastmaster.

Toastmaster Jones introduced Brother Charles Leet who welcomed all present. Dr. Wagener

R ecently Brother Gass was appo inted by Supreme Archon Wagener

then addressed the gathering in behalf of the Fraternity. His remarks were an inspiration and were enjoyed keenly by all present. In a manner that was most interesting, he outlined the history and progress of the Fraternity, spoke of its ideals and purposes, and explained just what will be expected of the new chapter. Having been a charter member of Alpha Chapter and the incumbent of many offices in the Fraternity, including the highest, which he holds at present, Dr. Wagener is well acquainted with his fraternity, and his talk was intensely interesting and instructive.

Dean Harry E. Stone, Dean of Men of the University, followed Dr. Wagener with a splendid address, giving the University's attitude toward fraternities in general and Pi Kappa Phi in particular, and welcoming Pi Kappa Phi to West Virginia. He made some fine predictions for the future of Alpha Rho Chapter, based on his intimate knowledge of the past performance and standing of Delta Epsilon and of the character and type of men composing the new chapter. Dean Stone mentioned that it has been his experience that within five years after a local fraternity has gone "National," in practically every case, the new chapters have gone into a "nose dive" scholastically. He stated, however, that he expected Alpha Rho would prove an exception to this established custom and would not follow the example set by its predecessors on the campus.

Following Dean Stone, Brother James C. Wilson spoke for Alpha Rho and pledged the co-operation of the chapter to Pi Kappa Phi and to the University. [ 6]

Many telegrams and messages of greetings from alumni, friends, and other chapters of fi Kappa Phi, that had arrived during the day and evening, were read at intervals by the Toast· master, adding to the enthusiasm that alread) prevailed.

Brief remarks were made by Brothers Job~ R. Gass, John C. Johnston, Gene Dunaway, fre Rector and others. Brother Dunaway is Arch0° of the Second District and hails from Roanoke, Virginia. A:fter telling of the narrow escape be and Brothers Ed Bell, Neil Gilbert and R. ~· Rush had on their journey to Morgantown, 1 ~ which the four brothers "stood on their heads literally and actually for Pi Kappa Phi, Gene cut loose with a facetious tale that contributed much mirth in contrast to many of the more 1 serious talks that preceded his remarks. 13° telling stories is not Gene's failing; it is "wi~· min." Attest the young lady that caused bl~ party to be half a clay late in getting started bacJi to Roanoke.

A fitting climax to the banquet was the an; nouncement by Dr. Wagener of the appointrne 11 of Brother Jones as Chapter Adviser to Alplll Rho Chapter.

PI KAPPA PHI SCHOLARS FOR 1930 and answers

T

HE Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1930 are a group of men who represent the very . best scholarship among our active member)ther ship.

The group for this year is unusually intype ~erest_ing for four reasons, none of which has to = hit d? _With any of the members of the group as inuali· \:v~cJuals. First, the number in the group is eight, ther· hich is the largest number to be so designated 'fhC anc] honored in any one year in the history of or ttl" ma 11 ~ur scholarship awards. Second, these eight brothers represent memberships in and bring targe ~nor to nine distinct chapters. Three members ~ o•' ~ the group each have membership in one chapby initiation and in a second chapter by affi lianno'' Ion, and their scholarship records were in each ,11 of case fi led by the chapters with which they afiiliorre· T hird , two of our chapters, Omega and rec· ~ed.

And ]laS Ourth, for the first time, the members of the mJlf· group are more representative of the national ce!l' aspect of the Fraternity. r:rned 0 1'he chairman of the Scholarship Committee per· t~·esents the following li st of brothers as the Pi J, he appa Phi Scholars for 1930: cen· Cecil M.

on Founders' Day, December 10. The December number of the Star and Lamp will contain a detailed story of their achievements. In the past the Pi Kappa Phi Scholars have been men of outstanding abili ty both in scholarship and extracurricular activities, in their respective colleges or universities.

WHY WORRY ABOUT SCHOLARSHIP?

In this day of rapidly moving automobiles and high speed airplanes and the equally rapid changes in the flow of li fe all around us, the matter of scholarship has come to be looked upon by many, both inside and outside our colleges. as of secondary importance and as by no means necessary to future success. Cases are cited of individuals who apparently are highly successful and yet had no college training or were very mediocre in scholarship while in college. Illustrations are given of individuals who rode the social or athletic ponies through coll ege without giving much thought to scholastic achievement and who have reached heights of success fn the estimate of the man of the street. However, in spite of these apparent exceptions, and when they are investigated they are the exceptions, the business and scientific worlds have found that scho larship does pay, and modern business and industry is insisting more and more on the thoroughly trained man, the man who knows.

t

Real scholarship is characterized by the fact it requires time and persistence for its attainment and that it cannot be acquired except by hard work and conscientious effort. Everyone is agreed that th is is a scientific age, and the wonderful scientific developments of the present century are clue to the scholarship of the past as well as the present. The great scientific laboratories to be found as adjuncts to all our great industries are manned by scholars, derived for the most part from our coll eges and universities.

Albert W. Meisel discusses

FRATERNITY ENDOWMENT FUNDS Albert W. Meisel, Alpha Xi, besides being the District Archon of the First District, is also Secretary of the Committee on Endowment Fund. This article is indicative of the constructive thought the committee is applying to the proposed endowment campaign.

HEN the Charleston Convention of Pi Kappa Phi approved the proposal of an Endowment Fund, the delegates were merely keeping step with a movement already prevalent in the Greek-letter world. The general spread of the endowment idea is due to the fact that it affords a method by which the individual may do something to perpetuate his idealism in the future organization, long after he has joined the Chapter Eternal.

It was natural enough that the early efforts for endowment first appeared among the older fraterniti es, whose alumni were more mature and who were financially able to carry on such an undertaking, but it is equally true that the younger organizations soon followed suit and initiated endowment plans with great zeal, though often on a small er fi nan cial scale.

Upon request, the Research Bureau of the Interfraternity Conference gathered some informative data on the extent and manner of raising fraternity endowment funds, which is undoubtedly of such general interest that much of it may be repeated here.

The largest endowment thus reported by the Bureau was $394,443.69, rai sed by an organization of 34,103 members; the smallest reported was $5.000, obtained by a frate·nity of 600 members. In the groups numbering approximately our membership are found the following: one of 4,190 members with $8,00~; one of 4,836 members with $10,000; one of 5,197 members with $25,000; and finally, one of 4,061 members with $12,000. Readers in considering these figures must, of course, remember that, in the absence of definite information as to the age of these

W

organizations, accurate comparisons may not be l made. The confidential nature of the Bureau's report prevented the names of the reporting or· ganizations from being published, and they are therefore not available.

The purposes for which the funds are being raised vary with the ideals of the various organ· izations and the present status of their develop· ment. What is a necessity for one fraternity 111a! already be possessed by a more mature groUP· What may be desired by another may play no part in the program of its rival.

One aim, which seems fairly general, is to pro· vide endowment for the fraternity magazine· Practicaly all of the reporting organizations have special or general funds to insure the success 0 ~ their publications. It is pleasing to note that :fli Kappa Phi, through the wisdom of its earlier conventions, now has a magazine fund of splen· did proportions.

Other declared objects include the establi sh· ment of a national headquarters building, extend~ ing assistance in chapter building programs, an meeting the general expenses of the national or· ganization. Fostering scholarship has also recent· 111 ly taken an important part in some endowme programs. Hence there is found provision fo; financing worthy scholars, the establishment 0 tutors in chapter houses, and, in some instanceS· graduate scholarships.

The methods for raising the endowment funds 1 reported have been various. They naturally ha" 11 varied with the age of the several organizati0 : and the financial capacity of the members. A one extreme is found the funds which have bee~ 1 raised by purely voluntary subscriptions. 0tJ '

standing examples are a fraternity of 3,003 mem-· hers thus raising $72,500, another of 3,299 collecting $20,890 and pledges of $88,750, and still another of 6,831 securing $50,000. It would appea~ that these organizations relied entirely on the Idealism of their members and that their faith Was justified . . In the middleground, there are the organizations which set aside a proportion of initiation fees, require a definite pledge from each initiate, or sell so-called life memberships. The endowtnent funds of such fraternities grow slowly but ~Ure!y and result in every brother participating 111 the movement. b' 1'here are a few fraternities which have com111ed all of these methods. Not satisfied with the gradual growth from the undergraduate fees, they have also solicited subscriptions from their alurnni, . Finally, there is still another group of organIZations, much smaller than the others, that build an endowment by setting aside each year a pro~ Portion of any surplus realized from general operations. Such fraternities appear to lose all ~~e benefit of the individual's participation in their 1 ea!istic effort.

A. recent innovation in adding to the total of ~ndowment funds, which has attracted some at~;1~ion, is the endowment life insurance policy 11 ch the member takes out and designates all ~ Part of the principal sum for the endowment. organization collects a $5 fee from each P edge. Both of these means are efforts to get tnoney outside the fraternity and are not apPr?ved by many for this reason.

When the endowment funds are secured, how <Ire thev administered?

Gene.rallv, there is a board of trustees constitUt d · purpose, made up of past supreme e for this 0 l fflcers, experienced business men and lawyers. ; lllost states the law provides for the investlied £ ent of. such trust funds in securities speciTh' i Or sav111gs banks and trustees generally.

ELECTED CAPTAIN OF

TRACK

Another track star that was introduced to these columns last issue, as holder of the uni· versity indoor record for the 220, and who again merits recognition, is Talbot Hartley, Alpha Delta.

He placed fifth in the 220-yard dash in the intercollegiates at Chicago in June and returned to Washington to be elected captain of the track team for 1930.

on real estate. The individual member must deliver a promissory note endorsed by parent or guardian or other satisfactory endorsers. It goes without saying that there are only a few national fraternities whose funds are large enough to permit the loaning of money, and practically all of them, in any event, lend but a portion of their resources.

The limitations of space have necessarily prevented a detailed examination of all the various endowment plans in operation. The study of the data, however, clearly demonstrates that a fraternity endowment fund is a good thing. There is no Pi Kapp who does not realize that much could be accomplished with such additional resources.

With the experience of others available, Pi Kappa Phi could examine itself and see how the desired result may be best accomplished.

Beta Alpha Lambda Delta, a fraternity of Northwestern University, whose requirements demanded of the member that he be baldheaded is no more. It expired from lack of members: Possibly "herpicide did it."

Scott received his degree in the spring commencement of Cornell, and t he Universitv thus loses an important cog in its crew and it f~otball team. He won his fres hman numerals in the latter sport, his varsity letter in his sophomore year. For three years he was one of the most consistent ground-gainers in the backfield. In 1929 he served as alternate captain. The year 1928 saw him in the junior varsity shell, 1929-1930 in the varsity crew.

The extensive representation of the fratern ity in this colorful college event and the possibilities of f uture representation will arouse in the organization a keen interest in the competition in the coming years. The West will have an opportunity to avenge a decisive defeat, with Washington or California in the forefront. Then, again, it may be that Cornell has DoN MoRRIS found her old stride and Alpha Delta will continue her victories.

tl Scholarship pays financially as has been shown · lrough many statistical studi es. Scholarship pays ~ that sati sfaction that comes with real achieveS ~t and the power to help mould the future.

0 c olarship pays in its tendency to broaden one's etitlook on life and to aid in the acquiring of tolsr~nce, understanding and wisdom. To be a real 1~ olar and to be recognized as such by one's fel\~ 111 en is to acquire real honor.

Scl t behooves every fraternity man to strive for chlolarship and to insist that the pledges of his be~Pter meet a truly high scholarship standard ga ~re they are admitted to membership. The lagrrer or the loafer should not be tolerated. It is "' neraJl Y recogmze · d now m · f ratermty · · Ies th c1rc Ob~~ th~ man who is lax in meeting his financial Igahon s is a distinct liability and should be [15]

disciplined even to the point of dropping him from the fraternity if he does not mend his ways. And likewise the time is not far distant when the man who is lax in meeting hi s scholarship obligations will be similarly disciplined without waiting for the college or university t o do it.

Such a man brings his chapter into disrepute in the eyes of the college authorities and exposes his chapter to the financial menace which follows from hi s withdrawal at all times of the school year as well as the fact that he is alm ost a transient in the college and likely will never graduate.

Fraternity chapters should seek the advice of their alumni on scholarship matters as well as financial rna tt ers. Tl1e we 11 manage d ancI we I1 balanced chapter with carefully selected pledges rarely needs to worry about scholarship.

College relations-Fair. Some member of the chapter inadvertently purloined the Dean of Women'ii favorite feline pet, and thi s was a sore point with the faculty for some time. It was finally straightened out to th e satisfaction of all concerned.

It was my pleasure to attend a well-conducted meeting of the chapter and a meeting of the Alumni Association held at the house. Don MacKen zie, Instructor in Business Administration at the U niver sity, was taking a dili gent lead in the attempt to finance the building of a new house, plans of and lot for which had already been provid ed. Since that time th ey have decided

AncHoN PEAcocK Alpha Zeta

to purchase rather than build, and I think that they were wise.

The dinner-dance was most enjoyable and served as a pleasant climax to my visit. Several members of the local at the University of British Columbia were present to enliven the occasion.

My visit with the men of Alpha Zeta was ~egrettably short, three clays, made so by the receipt of a telegram from Gamma, urging that I pull up my stakes and come immediately. There was no denying the. appeal and Alpha Zeta was fortunate accordingly.

T he Oregonians were exceedingly elated at the prospect of a new house this Fall, and, thanks to the untiring efforts of Chapter Adviser 'f. J. Starker, they are among the four chapters that reside in new houses thi s year. Of course theY showed me their lots, and I agree that they are excellent ones.

Alpha Zeta lost their old house by fire-theY received more congratulations than conclolencesd and at the time of my visit they were ensconce in the much too small quarter s of a rented bouse· They were exceedingly cheerful about the matter, however, and were carrying on in an excellent way. d They have an excellent group which I waul rate A-1.

tion of his native state might be paraphrased into: "you ain't seen nothin' yet." Yes, he is from California; in fact, the membership is just about 50-50 between California and Oregon. Once in a while they take an outsider, as Frank Little from Montana. However, he is an excellent football player, which overcomes the drawback of coming from a state other than the two mentioned.

Bob Peacock kindly drove me to a near-by town to catch the S. P. south, and again I was on rolling and clicking wheels.

[ 19]

Just north of the Cali fornia State Line, a uniformed man apeared in the coach and called for fruit inspection. Thinking I would be sent up for bootlegging, I surreptitiously tossed my two dozen lusc ious bananas out of the window. Woe is me. They were only being particular about the kind of bugs that enj oyed the Cali fornia sunshine.

Seriously, the scenery in northern Californ ia surpassed any that I had seen previously, and I am of the decisive opin ion that few sights could surpass that of Mt. Shasta in the moonlight. As I continued south the land became more rolling.

Hi ll s that down South in Di xie wou ld be good for nothing except scraggly trees, in Califo rnia were covered with a lux uriant covering of grass.

I think they were laid out by the gods as a private golf course. However, I understand that I was in the state at an excellent time of the year; that during the summer these green, green fairways become a dull brown. I was not enlightened by a Californian, of course.

Bill Grimes and Bob Krost met me at the Berkley station and drove me to the house. It is an attractive house and really shows the money invested in it more than the average run of houses.

It was the fear of losing the house that caused the men to hurry my coming. Fortunately, the alumni have filled in the breach sati sfactorily for the time being, and the und erg rad uates have the opportunity of showing their ab ility to surmount obstacles, which is undoubted in my mind . Since I spoke of these men in the article, "Gamma and Golden West,'' in the last issue, I will go into no further eulogies. It is one of th e few chapters that have no deadheads on the roll.

I enj oyed my stay exceed ingly and am indebted to the men for their exceptionally warm hospitality, and this includes the alumni of San Francisco and Berkeley.

Earl Carroll Accepts Position in Philippines EARL CARROLL, A 1p h a Eta, recently resigned hi s position as Secretary of the State Young Men's Christian Association of Tennessee to accept a position with the National Y. M. C. A. of the United States as General Secretary of the National Y. M. C. A. of t h e Philippine Islands.

His work will concern primarily the expansion program of the organization in the Islands, particularly the Isla~d of. ~uzon, wh:re there are many cities and umversttles requestmg that a local branch be established. Since this is practically a virgin field, it will be a su~reme test of Carroll's ability to educate, to orgamze and to lead. His specific duties in the development within the I slands will be: (a) To organize new Y. M. C. A.'s; ( b) to supervise and place these a~cl those already organized on a sound financtal basis; (c) to discover and train native secretaries; ( cl) to develop a program of ~ork that will be adequate for the needs of the native young men and boys.

Earl L. and Mrs. Carroll left in July for Manila, the seat of his headquarters. They jo~tr­ neyed to the West Coast by automobile, stoppt?g over in Mobile, Alabama, for a · final chat wtth Supreme Historian Pou. Taking their car with the;n they boarded ship at San Francisco on Augt;st 29 for the Philippines: via Honolulu Kobe Yokohama, Shanghai and Hong- · kon~. A 'brief period of s~~htseeing_ w~s permitted at each stop on the rtmerary. Thetr period of stay in the Islands will be not less than three years and not more than four and one-half years, after which they may return for another period.

Brother Carroll will be remembered well as the very efficient Chairman of the Publicity Committee of the Birmingham Convention and donor of the Carroll Key to his undergraduate chapter, Alpha Eta, to be presented each year to that man who has done the most for the chapter.

The Cleveland Alumni Organize

By R. E.

T

WoRSTELL,

HE twelfth edition of Baird's Manual states that Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity has a total of twenty-one alumni chapters. The prevailing impression resulting therefrom is to be corrected by the following announcement that one more has been added to the ever-growing list, making a grand total of twenty-two.

Last winter a number of Pi Kapps living in or near Cleveland, Ohio, decided that birds of a feather should flock together, and accordingly, the fraternity directory was consulted, a very substantial list of names obtained and an invitation extended to each. A few well-attended meetings were held, and within a remarkably short time an organization was perfected and a charter granted by the Supreme Council. Brother John R. Gass, Archon of the Eighth District, presented the charter to the new alumni chapter in a very pleasing and impressive way.

Immediately following the prec:;entation of the

Omega tW

charter the chapter went into session for the Pthe t. l)ose of electing officers. Those chosen for·c1en' honors were: R. E. Worstell, Omega, Prest E. D. Kiinzler, Alpha Nu, Secretary; and ~· S· Woodhouse, Alpha Nu, Treasurer. Brother · e· Myers, Chi, was recently elected Archon to ~lY place Brother Worstell who has tempora.rt moved his residen~e to .Los An~ele~, Cal. ideil The accompanymg picture w11l g1ve a good in of what may be expected when visitors droP ys on the Cleveland bunch, which they are alwand welcome to do.

Those who attend ed the Charleston Convention of 1929 and the dedication and gift of the Memorial Gateway to the College of Charleston need little introduction to this attractive gentleman. It was he who was chosen by the Coll ege of Charleston to make the acceptance speech in c'onnection with that ceremony, because he was so closely identified with and representative of the institution- A First Honor graduate and a highly respected and beloved member of. its teachino路 staff- and because he was a close fnend of the ~1en who founded Pi Kappa Phi, having taught them in high school. Thus, he has been associated with the organ ization very closely in many ways, and his initiation into A lpha Chapter met with approbation in all quarters.

Since 1923路, Professor Graeser has been Professor of Modern Languages at the College of Charleston. This is the more recent phase of a li fetime devoted to study and teaching. Briefly, his career from 1888 to 1930 is as foll ows: A. B., Coll ege of Charleston, 1888, and M. A., 1896.

EEING Hawaii through a porthole- Hawaii, the theme of many dreamy songs, the ultraVacation land ; moonlight nights, throbbing U~uleles, softly caressing breezes, dancing Hula ~lrls, swimming, sightseeing, hiking and playIng, all mixed into maddening whirl ,of thrills~as the experience of three brothers from Alpha elta. These experiences were the realization of illany a day and pipe dream. Often during the !ong drill periods of naval R. 0. T. C. the only Incentive to carry on was the thought that on June 18th about 100 naval cadets from the UniVersity of Washington would go aboard and illeet a like number of cadets from the University of California and together they would visit the magic land of the Pacific.

It is a wonderful feeling to cruise the Pacific ~n a battleship. The feeling of untouched power In the monster engines below, the massive strength of the decks and sides coupled with the seeming limitless energy of the big guns ~akes one feel as though 路 nothing could wipe / em from the high seas. Among this group ~f ~oung Naval Reserve Officers enjoying the thehng of security and a novel experience were ree Pi Kapps: Talbot Hartley, Don Gi ll, and )0hn Odegard. As Don and John are threeY~r crew men it is easy to understand that they ~ 1 ght take to the sea, but for Talbot, who is aptain of Washington's track team and the outstanding 440Yarct man on the coast, to go to sea when he would make Sl!ch a good infantry man IS ~rd to understand.

appealing of all , with a climate that varies but a few degrees the year around- a veritable everlasting spring, with an abundance of native. fruits, flowering trees, and blossoming bushes and plants.

After leaving Honolulu, they proceeded with naval drill, such as target practice, formations, plotting, etc. Here is a little bit of advice from one of the men, "Praters who know not when bedtime comes or the hour when students should arise, NEVER FOLLOW THE SEA, for it is to bed at nine-thirty and up again at six."

Certain conditions aboard a battleship have been written about to a considerable extent, but it is always enjoyable to get the facts first hand, as in the following: "We embarked on board ship in time to stow away and get ready for lunch. Lunch no more路 mess is the word from now on, and wi1at ames~ when everyone has finished !

You have gone to formals where you could not decide which of the array of hardware should be picked up next and you were afraid to touch the china for fear of breaking it; but this is not so at the mess table. One plate, one cup, one mushbowl, none of which could be broken with a steel bar, were issued each man together with a knife, fork and spoon, and that s p o o n a tablespoon.

Imagine stirring your coffee with that or getting a spoonful of prunes into your mouth."

Cruises such as this one are annual summer experiences of JoHNNY

the men in the naval R. 0. T. C. Last year they went to Alaska, this vear to Hawaii. Next year will bring something ~ew, possibly a trip through the Panama Canal and back. This branch of military training is gaining rapid favor on the campus and the reason is self-explanatory. If you would like a cruise such as this, just come out to W~shington and we will see that you become a "sailor boy."

Alpha Rho Installed at West Virginia (Continued from Page 9)

Twenty-four hundred stud ents were enrolled during the past year.

In athletics, West Virginia's rank is well established . Her opponents are mostly from the Eastern and Central States. West Virginia's prestige in football dates from 1919, when her team ranked second in the country. In the eleven years that have elapsed since then, her teams have made a creditable showing against formidable teams from Princeton, Virginia, Pittsburgh, Carnegie, Washington and Jefferson, Washington and Lee, Missouri, Detroit, Fordham, Georgetown, Oklahoma, Gonzaga, Lafayette, Colgate, Penn State, Centre, and Boston College.

Basketball, track, and baseball are other major

sports in which the University takes active part.

Intramural sports are well established.

The first national social fraternity was estab· li shecl at \Vest Virginia University in 1883. At the present time there are twenty-two national fraternities and fo ur locals ; seven nati onal soror· ities and three locals. Fraternities are governed by the Council of Administration and the Inter· Fraternity Council. In order for a local fratern· ity to petition a national fraternity it must have the approval and consent of both of these Coun· cils, and all members must be in good standing scholastically.

There are thirty-five honorary fraternities and organizations at the University, among which ar~ Phi Beta .Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, Ph1 Delta Phi, Alpha Zeta, Phi Beta Pi, Delta Sigrna Rho, Kappa Delta Pi, Scabbard and Blade, and Mortar Board. ~

DELTA EPSILON FRATERNITY

~

The Delta Epsilon Fraternity was founded i~ the Fall of 1924 by the efforts of a small grouP of students, at the instigation of Coach C. VJ. Spears. The group was granted a charter \Jj the University Board of Administration on MaY 21, 1925, which permitted them to operate as a local fraternity under the name of Delta Epsilo11 • The organization progressed rapidly from its in· ception, socially, financially and scholasticallY' and in the Fall of 1926 moved into a house. The first formal initiation was held December 12, 1926.

The charter members of the fraternity were: John Coleman, William Cosgrove, Jr. , Be~ Evans, W. S. Hayes, Edwin C. Jones, G. f.

Jones, Lyic Langfitt, George Phillips, Leo Shinfl• and Edgar Snyder. These men drew up the cotl' stitution, formulated a ritual, and designated the pin and coat of arms.

There are approximately fifty alumni men1• hers of Delta Epsilon, practically all of who~ have signified their desire to be taken into fi Kappa Phi at the first opportunity.

The members of the chapter have always bee~ active in university affairs and the chapter iS represented in eighteen different honorary org~n· izations. They have taken active part in varsitY and intramural athletics, student governme111' and campus publications. Five members ha"e held student assistantships in the departmentS of instruction of the University.

The alumni members have been organized since 1926 and have shown a splendid spirit of co· operation and interest in the chapter.

By]. S. HAVIS, Iota URING the month of June, the Atlanta Alumni gave the first of a series of entertainments planned for the year in the form of a fishing trip held at Lake Burton, located in the mountains of north Georgia, about 125 miles north of Atlanta. It was an enjoyable trip and will long be remembered among the pleasant memories of the brothers that were able to attend. The party was arranged by Brother John Rourk, Lambda, who has proven himself by this event a master along such lines.

He did not forget a thing except the fishing tackle, but it was not missed until the party was ready to leave for home.

Four of the brothers left Friday night and arrived at camp about midnight. Those who could not get away from their jobs, came up Saturday afternoon, increasing the number to sixteen. The four had managed to get the party well under way by the time the rest of the brothers arrived.

It was a big time for everybody until the wee hours of the morning, when we finally clecicl ecl to call it a clay.

A few of the party were up bright and early and off for a clay's fishing, but as the fish were not feeling well, and it being Sunday, the wouldbe fishermen gave up early and spent the remainder of the clay with the rest of the party swimming, riding in speed boats, lounging and hulling.

We did have, however, two real fishermen in the party who stuck to it all day. T hey started out soon after breakfast with enough paraphernalia to catch all the fish in the lake, and it was in the late afternoon before they returned. After so long a time, we saw them coming down the lake with the boat loaded clown with the day's catch

NEW FRATERNITIES There are few subjects taught in college that haven't their particular foll owers who are desirous of signalizing themselves and their subject.

The recent issue of Banta's GTeel~ Exchange carried the news of the formation of two organizations that may be added to the ever-growing Jist: A lpha Nu, honorary astronomy, organized at Colorado College in 1928, and now consisting of three chapters; A lpha Kappa A lpha, honorary philosophy, founded at Moravian Coll ege, Bethlehem, Pa. Rather unique in the field of coll ege organizations is Phi Eta, whose membership is made up of and limited to the mothers of the members of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity.

GREEK-LEITER POLICEMEN The town of State Coll ege, Pa., seat of Pennsylvan ia State College and numbering some three thousand sou ls during the coll ege session, is policed by college students. There are twelve men from the institution assisting the chief of police, all of whom are members of college fraternities.

This gem from the Kansas City Star: "Any number of coll ege students and grads, listen ing in on Rudy Valee at the Fleischmann hom over WDAF Thursday night, were amused to hear the maestro's reminiscences of the good old clays at Maine U ni versity when he was a member of the 'Sigmer Alpher Epsil ong' Fraternity . . . .

That's just the way Rudy pronounced it . . . .

Some "Do's" for the Chapters

Regarding College Fraternities An Editorial in the Boulder (Colo.) News-Herald

1. Monthly news letters to alumni and parents.

Only by keeping the "older heads" informed will you ever obtain their interest and support.

2. A definite all-year social program. Lay out your whole social program tentatively now. Figure the respective cost of different events. Include the social assessments in the monthly dues.

Don't wait until the last minute to plan the programs and raise the money for social events.

3. Train the pledges thoroughly.

4. Get the files in good order. Buy upright manila correspondence folders even if you cannot afford anything but a packing box to keep them in temporarily. Sort out your chapter's correspondence. Check over your form supply. Request from the central office all forms needed.

5. Get the money. Collect from eve?"Y man ·when the money is d~te. Enforce automatic suspension. In no other way can the chapter avoid financial difficulty.

6. Organize the chapter library. Set aside a small fund to buy new books. Provide shelves for proper protection and elect a librarian to see that they are not lost or misused.

7. Make scholarship the chapter's major activity. Scholarship comes first. Men low in scholarship have no business participating in other activities, and other activities which undermine scholarship should be abandoned. Our chapters which stand lowest in scholarship usually do not amount to much in other lines.

8. Improve chapter tone. Discourage an excess of rough housing, rough talk, carelessness, and disorderliness. School the freshmen in proper conduct. Cut down on rough "initiation." Of course the freshmen will be "cocky" toward the sophomores. It would be a shame if they weren't.

A freshman who is disrespectful toward intelligent upperclassmen should be given a raking over the coals ... in the pledge court, however.

There are scores of other definite things worthy of doing this year, but that's enough to think about now . . . \Vhen your term is ended what will you say to the question : What has your chapter done this year? . . . Will it have been operated in a businesslike manner with all men paying up, all credits satisfied, all the university community pointing the finger of admiration?

Or will the chapter have gained a reputation for irresponsibility and incompetency and the behavior of a bunch of yearlings? Will the house

AX MASON, who resigned as President of the University of Chicago to beco!lle associated with the Rockefeller Foundation, gave an address before the Fraternity Club in Chicago in which he brought the following indictments against college fraternities: 1. Greek letter societies have achieved the pill' nacle of fellowship and sportsmanship, but have failed to make for real college education.

2. The fraternity does not foster scholarshiP• but regards the serious student who applies hi!ll: self to real study as a "nut ready for the psychO pathic hospital."

No local has come to us with a more favorable reputation on the campus than Delta Epsilon of West Virginia University; no chapter has had a more auspicious beginning or more enthusiastic send-off than our infant, Alpha Rho; therefore, we look Welcome, to hear much of and from Alpha Rho the thirty-ninth addition to the organization.

District Archon Gass, Chief Installing Officer writes with regard to the installation: "The thanks of the entire Fraternity are due the Supreme Officers and members of the installing group, and particularly the initiation team from Alpha Nu. They were untiring in their efforts, and their exemplification of the ritualistic ceremony was superb and most impressive. The Fraternity also appreciates the loyalty of the many visiting brothers, many of whom traveled hundreds of miles to be present for the installation and to lend their assistance to the new chapter.

"Pi Kappa Phi welcomes its newest chapter into the fold and reposes much faith and confidence in it, and feels that it will take its place among the leading chapters of the Fraternity."

We heartily concur with District Archon Gass and believe that it is a case for mutual congratulations. We hope that Alpha Rho will not disappoint Dean Stone in his expectations that it will be an exception and will not take the usual "nose-clive" in scholarship.

Welcome, Alpha Rho! May you ever find the affiliation under the star and lamp one of inspiration, of supreme satisfaction, and a door to greater accomplishment!

Kindly overlook our habit of back-patting with this additional item. On two counts we must indulge in a few self-congratulations on the appointment of Joe Cannon to the position of Assistant Secretary: First, that the Fraternity has obtained the services of a man The New of his high calibre; second, for the significance his appointment Assistant has towards the future developSecretary ment of the organization.

The position that made the bid for his talents is, to an extent, an experiment, the development

[ 37]

of its value incumbent upon its holder. It possesses multitudinous duties requiring time and effort. These duties, in turn, offer a tremendous field for possible development, for in many instances they have been merely assayed and not developed. They were known to be there, needing a mind to establish their worth and a guiding hand to align them in their importance. The position demanded, then, a man of vision and energy plus an intense interest in the improvement of the organization.

We believe that Joe Cannon is the man for the position. Unassuming, despite a rather remarkable undergraduate record, quietly competent, eagerly interested, he has taken hold of a rather difficult position in a manner that bespeaks well of the future of the Fraternity.

We have spoken of the many duties of the position, and their number is legion. The placing of an additional man in the office is a distinctive step forward, however, in that it permits the entrance of specialization.

Blalock, in hi s two years as Assistant Secretary, worked indefatigably in the more routine department of the Central Office, and had little time left for other matters. This still left much of routine on the shoulders of the Executive Secretary and the responsibilities of a variety of duties that certainly could not be classed as routine. It was demanded of him that he be a jackof-all-trades, a type of individual considered quite passe in these days of specialization. The disadvantages of such an organization are easily perceived and need no elucidation other than to state that it is rarely possible for an individual to do many things of fairly equal importance in a limited amount of time and do each well. Something has to suffer.

A greater specialization in duties under the present situation of a stenographer-clerk handling the purely routine matters of filing and recording and two additional men in the office is possible. It is going to permit more intensive concentration on the duties found essential, with a resulting greater contact and control; it is going to permit thought to be applied to the exploitation of ideas that will lead to the improvement of the organization.

Ju st another rung on the ladder.

We cannot do otherwise than rejoice over the addition to our ranks of Professors John E. Winter, of West Virginia University, and Charles A. Graeser, of the College of Charleston ,

two outstanding men in the field of educatiott· It is a tacit and unspoken recognition of the value of frat~rnities in the educational schetne· The character and work of both men will be a~ inspiration to the undergraduate and source 01 pride to the alumni.

Swaffield Cowan, Sigma '29, sent in the following. He writes, "Both the title and name of the author are missing, but in its meaning it may cause some of our Returning alumni, who have drifted from the crowd, to try to get Alumni in touch with the boys."

"If your joints are getting rusty, And rheumatics make you shout; If the ills of age assail you, Or you're getting far too stout; If your knees are getting wobbly, Or you're troubled with the gout; If your head is getting shiny On the place you hair should grow; If the little things annoy you And make you suffer so; It's time you took a tonicGet out, yell, and make a noise; Take a day off from your labors And spend it with the boys."

It happens to remind me of a conversation that took place among a group of alumni the other evening. When urged to go back to the chapter as much as possible, one or two of them expressed a1 total lack of enthusiasm. One of them voiced his feelings thus: "Why should I go back? They do not know me from Adam's house cat. I do not know any of them. If I go, it will be a dead-stick party for all concerned."

We are also reminded of an experience of an alumnus of another organization on his return to the undergraduate chapter as related in the recent issue of Banta's G1·eel~ Exchange. An author of a current best seller, he was advised that the chapter would welcome a visit and receive him with open arms. He was in the house twenty minutes before an undergraduate approached him and undertook to introduce him to the other members. Evidently the name meant nothing for he insisted in making an error in repeating it. Of more immediate and personal experience, it was rumored, while the writer was an undergraduate, that Newton D. Baker had visited. his underg.raduate chapter without being recogmzed and smtably welcomed.

Th~ alm~mus mak!ng the statements had a preconceived 1dea of h1s reception, as probably did the two whose experiences are told. The idea is correct so long as they believe it and do not act in a way to disprove it. It must be realized
