~A F PI KAPPA PHI

When a member's donations total $25 the donor will be designated a Pi Kappa Phi Patron, and a badge and certificate will be issued to him to indicate his standing. The certificate will make him a life member of the Supreme Chapter in the sense that regist:ation fees to the biennial conventions of the fraterruty will not be charged to him. The badge will be a recognition button with a P within the emblem of the star. Such a man will be considered as having fuJly met the requirements of The Corps, although he is at liberty to give more.

Emergency Features As has been indicated, in its initial stages the membership fee and the additional dollar requ~sted is. to be placed in an emergency fund for use m the Immediate future. This has been a difficult year for fraternities. Many national organizations have lost chapters and continue to lose them. The roll of defunct chapters is steadily growing. Decreased enrollments in colleges and universities plus decreased individual allowances for education have been the major obstacles to the continuance of chapters. Men able to finance fraternity membership are scarce, despite radical reductions in costs in all departments of chapter activity. Undergraduate members have been forced to leave college or to avail themselves of outside liv-

1 00% Undergraduate Chapters Presented with the opportunity of joining The Corps with no emergency fees attached, several undergraduate chapters have reported 100% enlistment of their active members: ALPHA Nu, Ohio State PI, Oglethorpe University GAMMA, University of California ALPHA TAU, Rensselaer Poly KAPPA, University of North Carolina UPSILON, University of Illinois ALPHA, College of Charleston Others have signified their intention of coming through with a like response. ing facilities operated by individuals facing cut-throat competition and operating on a less than cost basis.

Banks have closed and tied up much needed funds.

It is a pure and simple case of survival of the fittest.

Those chapters which can hold out longer are the ones which are to survive. Stamina is the word. That Pi Kappa Phi has not yet closed the doors of one of its chapters brings no sense of elation to us, for no one knows better than we of Central Office how near several chapters are to the act of purchasing a passage to limbo. It has been a marvel to us that they have not made the trip, even as their continuance has been a revelation of the undergraduate type of courage, doggedness, and loyalty. They have fought and are still fighting a splendid battle. If a chapter is slated for ultimate defeat, it will be a gallant one.

An injection of financial aid into the veins of the chapter is needful in several instances, we feel, in order to stimulate the chapter to greater efforts in its battle to continue its existence. Its further continuance is its remaining hope, for there is another college year coming with its chance of pledging under possibly more favorable conditions. Most of the chapters in a precarious position are meeting to a satisfactory degree the current operation demands of their budgets, having slashed overhead costs of operation right and left; yet there has been no opportunity of accumulating a bit extra to liquidate accounts of ancient standing, reduce fixed indebtedness, or meet notes for furniture or other equipment essential to the operating needs of the chapter. To bring aid to these chapters is the purpose of the emergency phase of The Anniversary Corps.

A comparatively small amount of money judiciously used would serve to relieve the tension to an acceptable degree in several instances and, in all probability, save the units of the fraternity involved.

The national organization decided to place the matter in the hands of the general membership. Out

of the decision evolved the idea of the Anni'路 Corps with its emergency features. In the earl! of March the call was issued to all on the fll list, the first plea for financial assistance ever to the membership by the national organization response has been heartening despite the rnisf1 of having the banking moratorium leap out as~ unexpected and paralyzing obstacle.

Supreme Archon Wagener Leads Wal An inkling of the manner with which the JJ11 of the fraternity would accept the request and was indicated in the response of Supreme Arch Pelzer Wagener, when the idea was presented 1 for official approval by Central Office. He prl returned a message of hearty approval and en the first check received by this office for meJJ1D in The Corps. Greatly encouraged thereby, II路 ceeded with the circularization of the entire JJ11 ~p.

Reappraising the College Fraternity

This article appeared in the New York Times Magazine of February 19. It is a reply to a much featured attack on fraternities by the editor of the Columbia Spectator, daily of Columbia University. It is rare, and therefore most pleasing, to have the press publish such an intelligent and fair appraisal of fraternities. It is a sincere hope that they will continue to be as just.

Hs question, mqumes on the suba ra ern1ties dd f }.~ representativ were a ressed by the writer to f scitand 'West ~ number of colleges, North, South, me •Seemed to' bur an and rural. The answer of what 0 e>pinion-th e competent authority, the best-informed .t,ethe uncle atdof college officers directly in touch with ma~> rgra uat · . e Situation-was unanimous; Co-

lumbia, where tl1e question had been so sharply raised, heartily concurring.

The answer was this: Fraternities should not be abolished, if for no other reason than that they could not be abolished at present without substitute groupings of undergraduates promptly taking their places.

These substitute groupings would lack the traditions of the existing organizations, tl1eir alumni backing and the control over them thus indirectly exercised.

They would lack also the powerful incentive which consciousness of historic continuity (even in terms of college generations) gives toward a line of conduct decently respectful of public opinion and regardful of accepted standards- including, of course, local academic standards. The new groups, more accidental and less responsible, would be less in tune with the college spirit, if not with purely academic aims.

The minimum bill of health also acquits the fraternities of "moral delinquency." The exuberance of youth is not to be deni ed, but this exuberance is no monopoly of undergraduates decorated with Greekletter pins.

In Campus Politics

Political activity among undergraduates on their own campus is a vital part of American college life, as politics in the larger field is a vital part of American life when the campus has been left behind. It is not denied that the fraternities as organized groups do play politics. Sometimes the game of politics as played by students is little if any better than the game of politics played by their elders. Sometimes "ring rule" is set up in a college by a combination of fraternities using steam-roller methods, and offices are parceled out among the members of the ring and their friends. But precisely this same sort of thing happens in colleges without fraternities and wiili only the local organizations which local conditions have produced.

Also the ruling organization may be a ring of antifraternity men in colleges where fraternity rule has been challenged. In general, however, campus politics have tended to fade out of the foreground of ilie picture, since interest in college offices has tended to

grow less acute and interest in sport-and even in academic pursuits-to increase.

Each of two big universities reported the number of fraternities represented by local chapters on the campus at sixty. Two other universities had not far from half than number. In the case of all four, it was noted that the fraternities had served a useful purpose for many years by taking over the job of housing and feeding undergraduates which the university had neglected to assume. The alternative was living in boarding houses and private lodgings-if they could be found.

More Dormitories Systems of dormitories, in process of building at all four of the places in view, are changing materially that aspect of things-and tending automatically to reduce the number of fraternities and chapter houses.

The depression is also working that way--cutting

Fay taught this course until he left for Europe this fall. Thus he came into intimate contact with almost every student. Those who did not meet him in their first year because of their advanced qualifications, usually continued to study chemistry, and worked under him in organic chemistry, metallurgy or mineralogy.

Pi Kappa Phi did not initiate him until February 25, 1929. That fall, however, the alumni of Alpha Xi, as a remembrance of the hours spent under his tutelage, presented him with a large Pi Kapp pin, outlined with alternate pearls and rubies. He was proud of the gift, and wears it either on his coat lapel or high on his vest, so that it stands forth for all to see.

Dr. Fay believes in illustrating the points in his lecture work and in his daily life by actual demonstrations or by relating some analogous and illuminating story. His supply of anecdotes is apparently unlimited, and it is doubtful that any situation could arise that could not find some paralleling tale in his collection. However, it is his demonstrations which everyone remembers. Branded in the mind of many a student is the sight of the doctor bending down behind his lecture desk, and, with considerable effort and much clatter, lifting to the desk top a long length of iron chain, which must have served to anchor some rather large ship in its day. The links of the chain were each about six inches in length. The purpose of (Continued on page 24)

Informative and Interesting Studies of Pi Kappa P r Dr. R. D. McKenzie Says American Cities Are Going Feminine A MERICA'S big cities are going feminine, accord-

r-\

ing to a monograph by Dr. Roderick D. McKenzie (Alpha Delta), head of the department of sociology at the University of Michigan. It was made public today by the research committee on social trends, appointed by Herbert Hoover.

The monograph, entitled "The Metropolitan Community," says that in 65 of the 93 cities with populations of 100,000 or more there were in 1930 more women than men. Ten years earlier, in 1930, there were only 43 large cities in which females outnumbered males.

Change in Trend

"The ratio of males in the population to 100 females in 1900 was 98.6; in 1910, 101.7; in 1920, 100.4, dropping to 98.1 in 1930, or lower than at the beginning of the century," the report says. "The city ratio of white males, native and foreign born, to 100 females was 99 in 1900; 102.1 in 1910; 100.5 in 1920. Receding further in 1930 to 98.4, native white males in cities in 1900 were 96.9 per 100 females; in 1910, 97.3; in 1920, 96.9 dropping to 96 in 1930."

"It will be observed," writes Dr. McKenzie, "that the proportion of males to females in the total urban population and in each of its several classes is on the decline. The influence of the large influx of foreign immigrants during the first decade of the century, a high proportion of whom were males, is indicated in the rise in the sex ratio in 1910 over 1900.

The effect of this migration, however, had disappeared by 1930, when the proportion of males dropped to less than in 1900.

Cities More Feminine

"The extensive migration to cities of native women of native parentage is indicated by the decline in the urban sex ratio [males per 100 females] of this group in the last decade, a decline from 98.6 to 97.3.

Notwithstanding the high proportion of adult foreign males in American cities, the sex ratio of the urban population, twenty-one years and over, was 98.2 in 1930, only slightly higher than the sex ratio for the total urban population, which was 98.1.

"The general tendency in the larger cities is toward greater femininity; only twenty-eight of the ninety-three cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more in 1930 contained more males than females, as compared with forty-three of the same cities in 1920. " -

Method of Physics Instruction Introduced by Dr. R. L. Petry, Xi N THE course of lecturing to classes in Physics, problems of teaching which involve motion arise frequently. At present models and laborious blackboard diagrams with word pictures are used in an attempt to meet the students' difficulties with such topics. But experience with these methods has indicated that in many cases an animated drawing would have unique advantages, especially since a .film can be shown over and over again until the slower students have grasped the idea.

With this in mind a survey of Physics texts was begun and topics that might profit by illustrating were selected tentatively. In considering the method of producing such projects it seemed very advantageous for the teacher to work out these animations himself, since then, as he discovered ead1 difficulty, he could solve it in connection with his own text and could integrate it with his course successfully. At first this seemed impossible because of the equipment and time supposedly necessary, as well as the technical skill involved; but a period of experimentation has demonstrated to the writer that with ordinary amateur motion picture equipment, a tracing board, usual drawing supplies, and a little celluloid, usable animations can be made with a moderate amount of time.

The simplicity of the method has several advantages. First, the method can be applied best in cases where the problem .first appears as a genuine difficulty in teaching, and the animation is then used to solve it. A problem may sometimes be worked out within a short time after it arises. This adds greatly to the interest of the work. In the second place, the cost in time and money is small enough so that the interested teacher can discard entirely films of doubtful teaching value which he may have made. He can remake these with the benefit of the experience gained, profiting in particular from the reaction of the class to his .first attempt. In the third place, the method should make possible a greater variety of expression in this field.

Standardization in teaching films will have its advantages in a later stage of development. But at present there are too many able teachers in all fields who have had no opportunity to contribute their ideas as to the best use of motion pictures in teaching. As a result, these have Jacked constructive interest in films. Possibly the best means of arousing this latent interest and of drawing out original and constructive ideas about the planning of teaching films lies in presenting the opportunity of making .films themselves, even if only a few feet of sketchily-made pictures.

Finance Committee Is Reorganized HE recent action of the Supreme Council to reorganize the Finance Committee is recorded in the following form in the minutes of the fraternity:

T

WHEREAS, The present emergency requires prompt action on the part of the Finance Committee in connection with the handling of the securities of the fraternity, and two of its members have expressed the opinion that the best interests of the fraternity require that during the period of this emergency the committee should be so constituted that its entire membership can meet frequently in the same city, RESOLVED, That the Finance Committee should be located in New York City during tl1e period of emergency and that, for the purpose of effecting a reorganization, the present committee consisting of Ralph Noreen, L. C. Gould, and George D. Driver shall be discharged and replaced by a committee consisting of Ralph W. Noreen, Chairman, Robert E. Allen, and K. C. Lauter, in accordance with the provisions of Law X, Section 2, provided that the above mentioned persons shall 路accept appointment; and be it further REsOLVED, That the thanks of the Fraternity be expressed to Brothers Gould apd Driver for their past services in connection with the work of the Finance Committee.

This a progressive step in the efficiency of the national organization and is in accord with accepted practice of many of the national fraternities. Its advantages over the old system of conference by mail are obvious. It means a minimum of delay in reaching decisions, it permits fuller discussions. In addition, the men are located in the financial center of the country with every facility for information at immediate hand. These items are indispensable in this time of unusual fluctuations of securities.

All three appointees have signified to Supreme Archon Wagener their willingness to serve. All three hold responsible positions in prominent financial institutions of New York and bring to the work of the committee many cumulative years of experience.

Ralph W. Noreen, Gamma, heads the Commitee as chairman. He serves the Irving Trust Company in the capacity of assistant secretary of the Loan Division. Mayhap early environment had some influence in his choice of vocation, for he was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and spent fifteen of his youthful years in contact with the gold mines in the vicinity. His father was a mining engineer. He came to the States and obtained his undergraduate education in the University of California. It is not surprising that mining engineering was his forte in those days. After leaving the university he was associated successively with the Pinal Dome Refining Company and the Shell Oil Refining Company. After a few years experience as superintendent of service stations of the latter company he decided it was time to do some switching of horses. He went to New York to study commerce in New York University. Upon graduation in 1924, he became affiliated with the Irving Trust Company as assistant trust officer. In

12

1932 he was promoted to his present position路 addition to his banking duties, Brother Noreen f instructor in Personal and Corporate Trusts at York University from 1926 to 1932. He is a ~ her of Alpha Kappa Psi, professional fraternity.

Kurt C. Lauter is graduate of Cornell Unive B.A. degree and class of 1920. Most of his F graduate work has been with the Irving Trust d pany, which he reached via an assistant auditor's ~ tion with the Fulton County Trust Company, where he is now also an assistant secretary in the lJ Division. Brother Lauter's fraternal history has ~ an active one. He was one of the founders of Comas Club which became Psi Chapter. He served district archon of the first district for several rt' In 1925, he was instrumental in negotiating the f chase of the present home of Psi Chapter and st has been interested in its handling. He was recel elected president of the Realty Corporation, alul! holding company of the property. He has al~ 1 been identified with the alumni chapter of New Y and has held positions of leadership therein.

Robert E. Allen is a member (membership nufll' 1) of the original Delta Chapter and graduated fr Furman University in 1909. He holds the positiO~ vice-president of the Central Union Trust Corn!"

After obtaining an M.A. degree from Furman, started his career teaching. From this profession. went to that of banking, holding positions succe~ ly in the Norwood National Bank of Greenville, and the National Bank of Commerce of BaltiJil~ The war brought a temporary break in his voc~t~ but following his release he became associated ~r the Central Union Trust Company. In 1921 he made an assistant treasurer and in 1925 vicel dent. His major activity is in connection witll Loan Division. Numerous clubs and societies acehis extra-banking hours, but despite the fact that is giving up much of his active participation in ~ he has indicated a willingness to serve his fraterJI He has served before on the committee as chairfl1 From these brief biographies of the peri' nel of the Finance Committee it may be seen v the investment affairs of the fraternity are in , perienced and interested hands. Under the ne\\'. up the handling of investments during this c~t period is due to be efficacious and careful, an fraternity may count itself fortunate.

The indebtedness of the fraternity to the past Jll' hers of the Committee, George D. Driver, Nu,d' L. C. Gould, Alpha Kappa, has been expresse I the Supreme Council. They have worked faith ' and well in the face of the great handicap of do business by mail.

He was selected by ti:e Supreme Council to ~11 the pla~e l~ft vac~nt. It ~s a position in the natiOnal orgamzat10n wluch he 1s well qualified to assume.

Chapter treasurer for one year, archon for two, member of L' Apache and Theta-Serpent, are only a few of the achievements which he garnered in the course of his undergraduate career, which ended with the obtaining of an LL.B. degree. He was a charter member of the chapter and its delegate to the national convention of 1925, held in Chicago. In the chapter he is considered one of the best and most efficient leaders ever produced in its history.

He has earned and retained an enviable place in the legal circles of Tampa. The duties of his profession have kept him busy, but not too busy to curtail his continued active interest in the welfare of tl1e chapter. The chapter relies on his presence and effort to aid them in putting across any major program which demands alumni assi~tance. He. is serving now as a member of the chapter s Alumnt Board.

Kenneth

The scholarship of both Kenneth and David has been high throughout their college careers, each having made an approximate average of eighty-five. Kenneth will receive his B.S. in Agriculture in June of this year, while David will receive the same degree in June, 1934. Both attended David Lipscomb College near their home in Nashville, where they won many honors, prior to registering at the University.

Presidencies and editorships are Kenneth's hobbies.

His activities as the president of the Glee Club have won for him the sobriquet of "the little man with the big voice." As president of the "Ag" Club he has just completed a successful term. Managing editorships of the Tennessee Farmel' and of The Barnwarmin' Sp ecial constitute his work in the publication field. The forthcoming Agriculture banquet has in him a capable manager. He is an outstanding member of the Tennessee chapter of Alpha Zeta, national agriculture fraternity.

David, commonly known on the campus as "Freewheeling," a nickname bespeaking his agility on the basketball court, bids fair to outshine Kenneth if he

ters of the First District to New York for the next district meeting.

On Saturday evening an informal banquet was held.

It was well attended and all seemed to enjoy themselves. The speakers were Brothers Berry and Meisel and Grant K. Palsgrove, Alpha Tau's chapter adviser.

Brother Berry's speech carried a splendid message.

He listed the three R's of the modern fraternity system: 1. Reticence. Modern fad is to lay bare thought; the fashion is to display. It is not spiritually healthy to spend ourselves on the chance passerby; better to reserve intimacy of thought for one's intimates, not only of fraternity matters but of general thoughts.

2. Reverence. The fraternity is the guardian of its own and the college's traditions. Things are not necessarily good or loyal because of age, but things found to be good and founded in the past should be reverenced as an aid to modern existence. "Be not .first to cast old aside nor yet last by whom the new is tried." Reverence for ourselves moves respect for our own honor and responsibility for our own conduct.

Since fraternity men are more responsible for examples, they are quickly censored if the examples are bad.

3. Repose. Clear thinking is rare today and greatly needed. This can only be done with adeguate leisure.

Unusual Editorial Honors BeFall Joseph Duncan

Epsilon Chapter Initiates Major John T. Rhett, U. S. A.

By A. Dale Swisher, Alpha Omicron

c

By H. A. Wilson, Epsi ni~ A..

OE DUNCAN, of Alpha Omicron Chapter, has been elected editor of the Iowa State Stttdent, official tri-weekly newspaper of Iowa State College, for the school year beginning with the first issue of the spring quarter.

Duncan has just retired from the editorship of the Iowa Agricttlturist, one of the largest college agricultural publications in the world. The honor of stepping from that position to the editorship of the newspaper is a new one at Iowa State. No man in the history of the school has consecutively held two such important positions.

Duncan is no novice in newspaper work. He has worked consistently on the St11dent since he entered Iowa State as a journalism freshman-a period of nine quarters. Four of these were spent as a reporter putting the little publicized veterinary medicine department in the lime-light. The next two quarters were spent as an assistant issue editor and then for three quarters more he labored as one of the three issue editors. The mast during the first of these three terms revealed that Alpha Omicron held two of the three issue editorships. Edwin Dean, now owner and editor of the Seymour (Ia.) He,-ald, was the second.

Besides his St11dent work Duncan worked on the staff of the Iowa Agrimltttrist for six quarters. At the end of that time he was promoted to the editorship of the magazine.

The quality of his work is shown by the fact that at the national convention of the Agricultural College Magazines Associated held in Chicago last October he was publicly complimented upon the improvement in make-up, editing and choice of material displayed in the Agrimltmist.

In addition to his work on the campus Joe has had considerable experience in weekly newspaper work.

He has spent two years on the editorial staff of his home town newspaper, the LineviJJe (Ia.) Trib11ne.

Two more summers were spent as an assistant in the mechanical department, one summer as mechanical foreman, and then in the absence of the editor he assumed the duties of that position for three months.

Within the chapter Joe has been regarded as final authority for all freshman English themes. To that dubious distinction was linked the editorship of the A/micron for two years and senior representative to the Alpha Omicron Building Corporation. He is also vice-president of the Iowa State chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalistic fraternity.

Dr. John Donaldson, Xi Economist, Educator, Author After a perusal of John Donaldson's personal record in Who's Who, one cannot but wonder how anyone can do so much in forty years, twenty of which is really applicable. At the same time, the ordinary individual stands dismayed in the front of an array of accomplishments which bespeaks of highly energized personal driving power.

He has a wealth of degrees and his work has proven his right to them. In theory and practice he is a political economist. His theory has been given to students in various educational institutions since 1914. Both theory and practice have been available to the government and influential organiza· tions of the country and the world. He is an author who enjoys world·wide prestige.

John is professor of political economy in the George Washington University, has been since 1929. Prior to that, 1922-29, he was professor of commerce. He is also a member of the president's council of the university. Other institutions which have had his services are, successively, Smith College, Mount Morris College, Roanoke College, and American University.

Among his professional connections with governmental bodies and allied organizations the following are but a few: economist, U. S. War Trade Board, U. S. Shipping Board, U. S. Department of State; technical adviser, American Delegation, Conference on Limitation of Armament; editor, Foreign Countries, The Commerce Yearbook of 192;. He is the American member of the International Committee on Research in International Relations, of the Institute of International In· tellectual Cooperation of the League of Nations .

As an author, his outstanding work to date is "A Treatise on World Economy and World Politics." It has been widely reviewed in the United States, England, Germany, France, Italy, Japan; a two·volume edition was published in Spain in 1930; it is now being translated into Turkish. The publisher's adopted list included: London School of Economics and Political Science, Yale, Michigan, and California. Seventy-five copies were distributed by the U. S. Department of State among the embassies and consulates in 1931. He has been a prolific contributor to the Encyclopedia of Social Sciences and various European and American journals in the field of political science, economics, and international relations.

He was the guest speaker of the National Broadcasting Company on April 20, and spoke authoritatively and eloquently on "The World Gold Problem." Social Science for April carries his "The United States and Economic Pan-America," an address delivered before the Institute of International Relations in October, 1932.

Alpha Nu Performs Ceremony for Cleveland Alumni

By E. 0. MaHocks, Psi the courtesy of our new district archon, THROUGH H. 0. Merle, and one of our loyal Alpha Nu alumni, Gene Baker, we were able to stage at the University Club in Cleveland on Saturday, March 4 a most memorable evening. It was at this time that Brother Merle outlined to us his plan of activity for District Nine.

The initiation team from Alpha Nu at Columbus, Ohio, which was transported to Cleveland by the aforementioned brothers, together with thi.rteen members of the Cleveland Alumni Chapter sat down to a banquet presided over by Archon J. H. Haas.

The banquet was followed by several short talks by Archon Haas, District Archon Merle, Robert Crossley, archon of Alpha Nu, and Gene Baker. After these talks, the entire party adjourned to other quarters, where the initiation ceremony was put on by the Alpha Nu team in a most creditable manner.

Many of us in Cleveland had not seen the initiation ceremony administered since it was revamped by Dr. J. Friend Day. It was of course an inspiration to all of us in itself as well as giving an occasion to the establishing of what we trust may be a mutually profitable acquaintance and connection with Alpha Nu . .

After the meeting, several of us were privileged to get better acquainted with our neighboring brothers, who stayed all night at our various homes. The next morning the District Archon and Baker and the initiation team returned to Columbus with the assurance of our hearty cooperation and support for the betterment of Pi Kappa Phi.

flections on our own conduct and problems. One must learn to be quiet in thought and manner.

Professor Palsgrove gave a message of pleasant greeting to the delegates. Supreme Chancellor Meisel's talk touched, in the main, the following thoughts: Fraternities are going through lli very serious time, quite similar to the times of the civil war period.

Competition is keen and chapters cannot get along on reputation alone. The young fraternities have all the advantages of youth and their actions must speak for them . They must also make every effort to reduce expenses. Good common sense must be employed in picking leaders.

It is going to be another chapter which will tell the public by its actions that any weaknesses of the fraternity system are far overshadowed by the accomplishments, as H. T. Brock expresses in his article, "Reappraising the College Fraternities." The fact that he used the word "reappraising" is indicative of the attitude of the press in the past; it speaks volumes.

Maybe it is a promise that the worm is turning. It is certainly high time. Possibly the fact that the National Interfraternity Conference has organized an effectively functioning and militant publicity bureau is helping the worm to show another side. The fraternities have no objection to the truth but they do not desire sensationalism based on half-truths. Neither do they desire facts, infinitesimal in their relation to the whole, to become the basis of generalities.

If fraternities were not a potent force in character formation, in assisting educational processes, is it to be thought that such outstanding educators as are mentioned in this issue would be actively interested in the organization? The fraternity cherishes these leaders of thought. To speak of Dr. Irving W. Fay as the oldest Pi Kapp is to have a concomitant question of who is the youngest. Are there any applicants of unusual youth ?

We are more than willing to recognize in our small way those alumni who are doing things in this troubled world to bring about a better understanding of its forces and attempting to improve conditions.

We are proud of their work and wish to join others in expressing a deep sense of indebtedness. They are doing interesting things, practical things.

The battle for progress is an unremitting one, but it is a joyous task to carry the fraternity forward when you have such stalwart men beside you to help and encourage, as the fraternity has produced for us

in this year and former years. These last few Y1' have demanded more of each member but it has 1)11 forthcoming without hesitation. Especial gratitude due those officers of the fraternity in the field, t district archons and the chapter advisers. They hl been Gibraltars of morale and dynamos of inteli and activity. It has been an inspiration to us to W~ ga with them. Organized and unorganized alumni hi co 0 rallied in faithful numbers.

We welcome the new men appointed to special sponsibilities and who are well qualified to carry tht!

HEN Professor George W. Munro (Uncle Mun) expressed the wish to retire to the sidelines, it was natural that his duties as chapter adviser of Omega should fall to the lot of Dr. Charles L. Porter, for he has closely seconded the efforts and interest of Brother Munro in behalf of the chapter.

While regretting deeply the decision of "Uncle Mun," the chapter has welcomed heartily B_rother Porter.

Dr. Porter is doubly interested in the chapter because the second generation of his family, in the person of his son John, is an active member of the group.

He is a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan and received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois, in which institution he taught for many years. He is a well-known botanist and in Purdue University is professor of Plant Pathology and Physiology. His work in fungi and leaf spots of corn has received recognition. In 1922-23 he was the botanist of the Illinois State Natural History Survey. Various societies and organizations in which he holds memberships are: Botanical Society, Illinois Academy, Indiana Academy, Sigma Xi, and Masons .

Chapter. After obtaining his Master's from Emory, he went to the University of Mississippi to instruct.

Following 路the repeal of anti-fraternity laws in the state, he organized a local group to petition the fraternity, which was later established as Alpha Lambda Chapter.

He obtained his Ph.C. degree from the University of Mississippi in 1928 and his M.D. degree from Emory in 1932. He is married and has a son six years of age. Memberships in Chi Beta Phi, national scientific fraternity, and in the Oxford, Miss., Rotary Club are held by him.

His death came as a distinct shock to Alpha Omicron, no one even knowing of his injury. His loss to the chapter cannot be estimated as he was one of the most active of alumni, helping in every manner that was possible.

Reappraising the College Fraternity (Contin11ed from page 8)

graduate body in Greek-letter societies. A line-up of fraternity men against non-fraternity men in campus politics is in this college obviously absurd. Activity in college politics exists, but is regarded as healthy, and the fraternities are credited with raising the level of scholarship and of serious college endeavor generally.

The other small college, also in New England, constitutes a "small homogeneous community." Here, too, fraternities are very active in college politics; but the undergraduate is apt to be rpore college conscious than fraternity conscious. Everybody knows what everybody else is up to. Combinations check combinations and produce a tolerable balance of power- a factor in that balance being the organization of nonfraternity men, which is frequently ably and energetically led. Here again the verdict is healthy politics.

It is the nature of "clubs," whether clubs of undergraduates or of the undergraduates' parents and guardians, to be organized groups of insiders able to (Contin11ed on page 38)

thing like the Swedish for 777,777 sounds) down the line. My check is coming to you on immediate perusal of my letter" ; that of Charles Hall, Alpha Rho, who hopes "that when the roll is called in Pi Kappa Phi" he can say "Charlie vas dere."

Typical of scores of letters received is that of Past Supreme Archon George D . Driver: DEAR HowARD:

I have just received your letter regarding the Emergency Corps and am very much impressed with the plan and the very effective way in which you present it.

There are probably very few members of the fraternity but who are experiencing severe financial difficulties of their own at this time, but if we can make any contribution at all to the fraternity, even though it requires some sacrifice, I think we should do so in this emergency. I hasten to send enclosed a check as my first contribution and I hope that I can complete payments to become a patron at a much earlier date than would naturally come about under the plan.

It seems to me that the Emergency Corps idea, in addition to its possibilities for the immediate assistance which I am sure the fraternity needs, offers a means for building up the permanent endowment in later years which is something looked forward to for many years.

With best wishes for the success of the plan and with personal regards, I am Fraternally yours, GEORGE D . DRIVER

Yes, there are many to whom the donation was a sacrifice. Yet they have expressed a warm pleasure in the opportunity to do their bit. There are many who are not in position to make the gift. Some have written in to explain, to wish us luck, to state that we may count on them at a later date. The situation of both types of members is fully appreciated, and we have a heartfelt wish that the silver lining may soon appear.

M any that gave wrote that they wished it might be more.

District Archon William J. Berry had this in mind when he wrote the following: D EAR HOWARD:

The form of your appeal to the alumni of the fraternity, the issuing of which was forecast at our meeting in New York last November, is very attractive and the request that it makes of our alumni is modest. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that there will be those in whom the spirit to give is not equalled by the ability to make even the small contribution asked. Accordingly I am not basing my own gift on any mathematical computations, but am sending you a cheque for five dollars with best wishes for the success of your undertaking.

Fraternally yours, WILLIAM ]. BERRY

In addition to the gift, many took the opportunity of expressing their affection for the fraternity. The following came from W . B. Shaw, only Pi Kapp among the 90,000 people of Nevada: 26

It has been many years since I have met a Pi Kap~· ·' thanks to that grand ole magazi ne, The Star and LamP, 11 ' given me many joys of past remembrances. Have seen Jf many faces that were and are dear to me. Yours is a 0 work _and there are those of us that appreciate it.

Pledges: Dimp E. Wiscaver, Raymond W. Stormer, W. E. Bruse, William 0. Opp. The annual Purdue Athletic carnival was held February 24 and 28. Preliminaries of the events were held on Friday, February 24. Then the semi-finals and finals were run off on Tuesday, February 28. Every year the high spot of the carnival is the interfrat~rnity relays which are flashy and packed full of thnlls. ~wo years ago the Pi Kapp relay team won the champiOnship and last year it failed to win by a narrow margin.

This year a team composed of Chuck I~saccs, Jack Strawbridge, Al Welty, and Wally Norrmgton surprised themselves and everyone else by going through the preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals undefeated.

On March 9 the Chi Omegas and Pi Kapps had an unusual dinner trade. Half of the Chi Os had dinner at the Pi Kappa Phi house and half the Pi Kapps had dinner at the Chi Omega house. Names were drawn, to decide who would go there and with whom.

At the Pi Kapp half, the party was a dinner dance, the dining room being arranged so that those who wished could dance between courses of the dinner.

After the dinner the evening was spent mostly in dancing, but bridge tables were provided for those who would rather play cards.

The Chi Omega half was somewhat different. There was no dancing during the dinner, but everyone danced afterwards. No bridge tables were necessary for no one wanted to play cards. Of course, the dinners at both houses were perfect. This was the first of a series of dinners that Omega Chapter has planned for the remainder of the present school year.

Alpha Kappa PHILIP DALZIEL,

Historian

On Friday March 24, 1933, the chapter held an informal dance at the chapter house with Brother Ernie Jackman's orchestra furnishing the music. Mr. and Mrs. Jed Barnes Maebius acted as chaperons and among the guests were Prof. and Mrs. R. D. McKenzie, Alpha Delta, who honored us with their presence during the earlier hours of the evening.

Alpha Kappa is anxiously awaiting a Spring Formal, to be held during the early part of May. Alpha Kappa had a team entered in the Interfraternity Basketball League but unfortunately, due to lack of practice, did not fare as well as expected.

Due to the "banking holiday," which started early in February, the chapter was faced with a financial crisis, but since all chapters on the campus had to contend with the same conditions, the merchants were quite lenient in extending credit. With the reopening of the banks we are again getting back to normal conditions, and should finish the year in fairly good condition.

The grades for the past semester were the highest in the chapter's history, the house average being above eighty per cent. Brother Klute topped the list with seventeen hours of A, while Brother Wells and Brother Smith were runners up with nine and ten hours of A, respectively, the balance being B. If the chapter maintains the same high standard during the second semester it should finish among the first five chapters on the campus.

Sometime in the near future we expect to initiate Emil Wm. Keck and Wm. Hugh Moffat.

J. B. Maebius was elected local president of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, national geology honorary.

Alpha Mu JoHN WoLFENDEN,

Historian

Pledges: James J. Werner and William J. Kleppinger.

Recmt initiates: James A. Carson, Robert J. Davidson, William C. Griffin, Marvin M. Hepler, Daniel G. Jones, Robert A. Willgoos, Albert R. Yerkes, Lloyd S. Bovier and Joseph A. Yermal.

Alpha Mu recently won the interfraternity contract bridge tournament cup. The victory was made possible by the splendid playing ofT. Glenwood Stoudt, John Leightty, E. Bradford and John Wolfenden.

Grant A. Colton is one of the most active men on the campus. His achievements are: Blue Key Society, chairman of Blazer Committee, first assistant baseball manager, member of Pi Lambda Sigma, honorary prelegal fraternity, Interfraternity Council representative and is the nominee for secretary of the senior class.

Marvin Hepler, a freshman initiate, has proved to be a talented wrestler. In the 165 pound class, he be-

36

came the intramural champion and was also victorious in several interclass contests.

Ernest Miller, the Alpha Mu caterer is a rnembe' of the varsity debating team for the second straight year. He went on a debating trip recently and ¢5 highly successful in all of his contests. Miller is ~~ a member of Delta Sigma Rho, a national forenS'' fraternity.

Alpha Xi J. Edward Fitzsimons, Alpha Xi, has proudlY _a~· nounced the addition to his family of Blanche Mart~ born January 3 and progressing famously. Mrs. ftd simons is the former Miss Marian Edna Dolan, New York City, whom he married July 8, 1931.

Alpha Sigma has in school this quarter 24 actives and 23 pledges, with 23 men living in the house. Initiation plans are being formulated, with hopes of inducting a majority of' the pledges.

David McPherson was tapped Scarrabean, senior honor society. A. K. McCalla was elected business manager of Tennessee Fa1·mer fbr next year. Richmond McKinney, chairman, and Kenneth McPherson are two of a committee of three in charge of the annual university sing, to be held in April.

We have two representatives on the track squad.

Dave McPherson bids fair to break ·the university high jump record this season. Luke Smith has been showing good form in skimming over the hurdles.

Nathan Lowe is confined to the infirmary with a knee injury suffered in spring football practice.

Elmo Rowland was elected to Phi Kappa Phi, also Alpha Zeta. He is business manager of the Tennessee Farmer.

John Primm, captain and regimental adjutant, was named manager of the annual military ball.

Alpha Sigma has continued to pl~ce men in high positions in all activities. The scholarship record held a top place, as we had the highest general fraternity average, although failing to win either pledge or active cup.

Bob Allen was recently named general manager of the Carnicus, Tennessee's annual combination carnival and circus. W. H. McClure is assistant, with other Pi Kapps as committee heads and workers.

Reappraising the College Fraternity (Continued from page 25)

include or exclude outsiders. In colleges like the two just mentioned most of the outsiders as regards one club are insiders of another club. Exclusiveness is mutual and hurts nobody's feelings. The situation is different in other colleges where the number of persons not ~ncluded in fraternities at all is a very large proportwn of the student body and where the fraternities, though in a minority, combine to run undergraduate activities more or less regardless of the unorganized majority outside the fraternities.

Percentage in Fraternities

A university is a considerable city in an old State with lavish traditions of wealth reports that the lineup in college politics is, indeed, fraternity men against non-fraternity men. But the non~fraternity men are organized effectively and are more active in going after things than their opponents. The result is that fair run of mutual good feeling which is normal between two groups in more or less equally matched rivalry.

Conditions are peculiar in large institutions in great ~ities where ~e proportion of the undergraduate body m college residence-and therefore in a state of isolation as an undergraduate community definitely college conscious--is very small, the rest of the undergraduates being "day scholars:· from many levels of economic life and representing a wide range of racial origins and social backgrounds.

Of an undergraduate body of 1800 at Columbia, roughly three-fourths are in effect "day scholars."

They live with parents or relatives scattered about the greater city and the metropolitan commuting area.

Only 15 per cent are in college residence in dormitories. About 6 per cent live in fraternity houses grouped about the university buildings.

Two-thirds of the total of 300 fraternity men live at home. The day scholars generally, when their day's work is done, go home and eliminate themselves from the situation. Probably not more than half of the student body ever attends college meetings or votes for candidates for undergraduate offices. But the twothirds of fraternity men who do not live on or about the campus are mobilized by the one-third who do.

With organization, it is not difficult for this small minority to "run" things and to parcel out offices, supposing the fraternities can accommodate their own· rivalries and jealousies to the point of acting together.

The fraternities at Columbia generally do run things - more or less.

Fraternity Training

As specialists in college politics, fraternity men get a certain preparation for life in a country where the political game is a career not quite like any other pro-

38

fessional career. If the result of this specialization is ~at the acade~i~ stand in~ of the fraternity men is 1 ' btt below par, It IS a questwn (even in the mind of the dean) whether everything is lost and nothing gained· The ~arne of c.ollege politics is not always plared on the htg~est ethrcal.level. Competition for promistnS freshmen m the rushmg season is a cut-throat encoun: 1 ter. But the fraternities at Columbia with their alull1° ) backing of graduate members and their intercollegiate set-up, have standards to maintain-even traditionS· They have ~ sense. of responsibility, even as proper~ owners, whtch mrght not be found in the campuS cliques which in the course of human nature would take the place of the fraternities if they were abolishe~· , Mo~eover, the interfraternity board, or Panhellen~c CounCil, of. all the fraternities represented at Colurnb 1 ~ meets (by Its own choice) with the dean of the col· lege in the chair. By this means the officer who ]laS charge ~f college discipli~e is kept in pretty cios: touch with what goes on m Greek-letter circles. I1 stands by at the washing of the dirty linen of the ' Greeks- if any.

Finds Greek Groups Are 0. K. 5

Considering that they are, after all, college bOY pent up in a city and not allowed to make night hid~' ous after the immemorial privilege and usage of col· le~e boys in the days when all American colleges ]lad wide open spaces convenient, the dean thinks the be· havi?r of ~olumbia' s young clubmen is fairly good; He IS convmced that their clubhouses do not harbO evil livers and corrupters of academic virtue, but a regular line of decent young men. And he is quite cet· tain that nothing would be gained by carrying out Spectator's sentence of "Delenda Est." This is to be added. The expense of maintainin8. a fraterni~ chapter house. in New York City is d15: proportionately great. Chtefly because of financial pres sure, there are now only twenty-five fraternity houseS at Columbia where a few years ago there were thir~ five: !he number of undergraduates who can aff~r. to JOin fraternities-like the number of adult ctU' zens who can afford to belong to clubs- has fallen o6· The resulting tendency toward the reduction in tlt' number .of f:aternities favors the strongest and fitteS~ for survival m the long run. That is what is happeOd ing generally in the case of college clubs not provide with a national hook-up or Greek-letter label. Fore~· ample, one result of the putting into effect of 1<ft· L~w~ll's. house plan at Harvard was expected to be~~ eltmmatwn of the excess of social (and, some Sll' ' pol.itically exc.essively influential) clubs at Cambridg~ Thrs process IS actually taking place and lies para!l to the process noted in the case of another institut1°J where the completion of a dormitory system on a gra!lf 0 scale tends to reduce fraternities from the statuS quasi-necessities to the status of luxuries.
