VOLUME LV Irlll, SCiH-O-LJL/ OCTOSERNo 1 PHI DELTA THETA ^^'°EditoricNever has there been such universal approval of anything in Phi DeltaTheta as the Detroit Convention. The time of the year, the wonderfulhospitality of the Detroit and Soo Phis, the beautiful weather, the enchantingscenery and the delightful fellowship all combined to make anunqualified success of the gathering.The Convention will also be remembered as the occasion when fourCanadian charters were granted. So convinced was the Convention of thewisdom of the move that there were but three votes cast against one of thepetitions, It seems to assure Phi Delta Theta of an advanced position inthe Dominion which has already been so well established by the twosplendid chapters at McGill and Toronto.The Convention also marked the passing from its official ranks of HenryK. Urion, one of the ablest and most conscientious executives the fraternityhas ever had. Brother Urion gave instintingly of his valuable timeand effort and he has left Phi Delta Theta in an enviable position in itsfield. His contribution will be of permanent benefit to the fraternity andhe has set an example of effectiveness for his successors to follow.Refreshing indeed was the ovation given Secretary Priest, and thetribute paid him by Undergraduate Delegate Scurry from Texas warmedthe hearts of all, particularly those of us who are close to the picture andrealize most the value of his service. Much of the success of the conventionprogram with its innovations was due to the planning of BrotherPriest.So we view with confidence the immediate future of the fraternity. Theground work is good and the President-elect, Robert E. Haas, brings to theoffice a knowledge of conditions and an experience which should enable usto continue the good work begun. Backed by an able corps of provincepresidents and a most harmonious organization we look ahead withoptimism.[3]

The Fortieth General Convention531 DEAN HOFFMAN,Dickinson, '02I HOUGH the final gavel fell aboutnoon, September 5, the fourth generalconvention of * A 0 is still in sessionin the memories of the more than 200persons. Phi Delts and their ladies,who made up the passenger list of theS.S.Eastern States as it cruised theGreat Lakes from Detroit to the Soo.The cruise-convention, first amongGreek-letter fraternities, was the secondsummer convention in the historyof $ A 0. In addition to all but three( ?) of the fraternity's chapter delegates,it attracted a large number ofalumni with their ladies who chose toregard it as a delightful summerouting.Virtually every moment and featureof the convention were a triumph forthe careful planning of the E)etroitPhis. General Chairman Charles A.Macauley with such committee chairmenas "Ken" Owens, "Chick" Manring,"Joe" Fee, "Dickie" Ewing and"Cooky" Cochrane, all of whom wereon the job every minute of the game,staged a convention with their brotherassociates that won them oodles ofpraise and appreciation.The Detroit Phis had everything inreadiness as early as Saturday, August30 when "Art" Priest and the vanguardarrived at Hotel Statler, conventionheadquarters. These early arrivalswere so busy accepting preconventionentertainment from the Detroit Phisthat there was little time for conventionpreliminaries. While delegatestrickled in all August 31, thebulk of the crowd arrived September1. Committee meetings occupied mostof this day and all was in readinessfor the formal opening of the conventionthe morning of September 2, inthe ballroom of the Statler. •W. O. Cochrane, executive committeeman,called the convention toorder assigning Past President Macauleyto formally welcome the delegates.Judge W. R. Bayes of theGeneral Council and John M. Ranney,whose Kansas Alpha chapter won theHarvard Trophy, responded. PresidentUrion then took charge and aftera brief session the convention adjourned.Some snappy work was then doneby the delegates to get to the EasternStales AT THE SOO"4]S.S.

Gleaming innewly washed white and newly polishedgold, the cruiser wore along hermiddle deck long streamers proclaimingin white and blue that she bore thefortieth biennial convention of ^ A 0.Within an hour after her scheduledstarting time the Eastern States hadbacked into the Detroit river, hernose pointed northward and as harborcraft whistled their salvos of honvoyage, the cruise was started. Wiselythe committee left several hours forship companions to get acquainted.John Mulford, whose summer homeis in the St. Clair Flats country wasnamed guide and he pointed out this,that and the other.By now an orchestra was boomingon the main deck. The lads and lassieswere playing cards and going strongfor quoits, shuffleboard and other deckgames.The convention session callfor 4 o'clock brought all accredited40im \ %11.m ,1 ilII 11«^MTHE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAdelegates to the cleverly arranged conventionhall on the main deck forward.Tarpaulin covered with huge blanketsof blue and white bunting shelteredthe deck, while specially arrangedlights gave the improvised conventionhall abundant illumination. Toheighten this a "spot light" was turnedon the presiding officer.For dinner, two hours at two tablesittings were arranged, and at eightthat night another convention sessionwas held until ten o'clock when thebridge and other tournaments plusdancing, plus deck games wereinaugurated by tireless Detroit committeemen.A special broadcast fromstation KPDT concluded the formalprogram. By now the Eastern Stateswas rollicking a bit in the wind, muchto the anguish of the landlubbers butvery much to the liking of "sailors"who like to roll in the moonlight whichbathed the lake.Meanwhile the staff of "The Phi-Log" turned to their job of getting outthe convention newspaper, a 300 circu-PART OF THE GENERAL COUNCILAT THE SOOBayes, Banta, Urion:5]TWO OLD FRIENDS MEET AT THE SOOGeorge Banta, Franklin-Indiana, '76, and PrestonW.

While the master pilotof the Detroit and Canadian line stoodon the bridge, the Phi Delts, grabbingtheir breakfast on the run as usual,were piling into the hall for nineo'clock convention session. Aboutnoon the city of Sault Ste. Marie appeared..•^s the boat tied up, Walter WestwoodCase, Alleglieny, '84, rushedaboard to assure the convention thatA GROUP OF REGULARS AT THE SOOBanta, Jr., Davidson, Brown, Urion, Banta,Search, Case, Mitchell, and Hendersonall was arranged. That meant that ahundred or more motor cars were onthe landing waiting to take delegatesto the golf course or sight-seeing, thatthe Soo had put its American flags incurb sockets and declared a holiday,that traffic would be suspended anytimethe Phi Delts said so, and that the conventionbanquet that evening was allarranged—down to extra portions ofbroiled Lake Superior white fish, mostsought of all table delicacies the GreatLakes have to offer.Brother Case staged a receptionaboard the boat in which city officialswelcomed the delegates. Across theriver the Canadian flags were flying intribute to the Phis of Canada and theUnited States. So many delegates[6]took the ferry and crossed over.Others sought the golf courses andstill others inspected the huge locks.Brother Case saw to it that the delegateswere tendered the freedom of theport and further arranged a boat ridefor the ladies which included passingup the locks on the American side anddown on the Canadian.By 8 o'clock that night, the Conventionbanquet was under way atOjibway Hotel, its walls gleamingwith fraternity crests and similar decorations.On that menu were white fish,turkey, salads, and desserts in abundance.Brother Macauley presided asa past president should preside. Hewas thoughtful, witty, and impressive.He called his committee chairmen totheir feet and all got a boisterous handfrom the delegates. He referred torecent initiates in the Chapter Grandand did it impressively.One of the most effective featuresof the dinner was the introductionof venerable Phis. These includedGeorge Banta, Sr., first president ofthe General Council, who out of hislove for the fraternity, traveled fromhis home in Menasha, Wisconsin, tothe Soo to attend for a moment theconvention dinner. Also introducedwas Hilton U. Brown, of Indianapolis,second president of the General Council.Both men were given tumultuousreceptions.Then came the speaker, James E.Davidson, Hillsdale, '97. He was givenan ovation for his deep interest inthe Palmer Endowment Fund whichhe discussed under the title of "FinancialStability for the Fraternity."Preston W. Search, Wooster, '76, camefrom California as the fraternity'sguest. In his student days and since,he has written nearly a score of PhiDelt songs and so was made "honorarychoragus" of the convention. Hisgreat height and shock of white hairmade him a distinguished figure aboutthe convention. He wrote speciallyfor the Convention dinner a poem,"The Call to Men." Daniel Appleton

Came the dawnand the Eastern States was shroudedin fog at the dock with fog hornsshrieking all about her, effectivealarm clocks for those dated forCanadian golf, sight-seeing and themoving pictures that were taken.Noon marked the sailing hour southwardto Mackinac. A conventionsession was held at two o'clock and atfive o'clock the boat docked at Mackinacfor two hours allowing time forinspection of the eighteenth centuryTHESCROLLPHI DELTA THETABritish-built fort on the heights, andthe island rides in carriages whichhave resisted the motor car's invasion.The cruise headed homeward thatnight with an evening session of theConvention, more dancing, more cards,more deck games with the presentationof prizes at the shank end of thenight.The morning of September 5 saw theEastern States not far north of theSt. Clair river. The convention's finalsession was held and adjourned shortlybefore noon and at two o'clock theboat docked at Detroit, when the conventionphotograph was taken and thedelegates scattered until the ball at theStatler that evening at nine o'clock,marking the formal end of the conventionprogram.Colorado Phis, headed by provincepresident, "Cappy" Williams, won thenext convention. It will be held inEstes Park, Colorado, the late summeror early autumn of 1932.Convention Business—Five New Charters GrantedWHILE the October Palladium willcarry the complete minutes of the DetroitConvention a brief resume of theprincipal accomplishments will belisted here.The Committee on Chapters andCharters acting in co-operation withthe Survey Commission recommendedfor the consideration of the Conventionthe petitions of local fraternitiesat six institutions: University of Alberta,University of British Columbia,Dalhousie University, University ofManitoba, University of Marylandand the University of South Carolina,the latter a re-establishment of oldSouth Carolina Beta. The vote wasfavorable, and by a wide margin on[7]all but South Carolina which is to bepermitted to continue its petition. Thisastonishing result gives A 0 sixchapters in the Dominion of Canadaand places the fraternity in the stateof Maryland for the first time. Eightstates now remain without * A 0representation: Arkansas, Connecticut,Delaware, New Jersey, New Mexico,Nevada, South Carolina, and Wyoming.A pleasing feature of the conventionwas the public citation of certain chaptersfor meritorious service or achievement.The delegates were called beforethe session by the president, and,accompanied by their province presidentswere cited in detail. On the

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA October, 1930negative side, certain chapter delegateswere asked to appear before the Committeeon Delinquent Chapters to answerfor the shortcomings of theirchapters and a definite program of improvementlaid out.Robert E.

Bayes, OhioWesleyan, '01, Treasurer; with EdwardE. Ruby, Indiana, '97, and JosephM. Clark, Vanderbilt, '16, Members-at-Large.A permanent committee of past officersheaded by P.P.G.C. Frank J. R.Mitchell, Northwestern, '96, to cooperatewith the General Council inthe solution of some problems of permanentorganization and operation hasgot under way and it is expected itwill give material aid on these problems.It was voted to accept the invitationof the Denver Alumni Club and theColorado Phis to hold the next conventionat the Stanley Hotel in EstesPark the first week in September,1930. Very favorable arrangementshave already been made for the event,and if business conditions improve ashoped there is every reason to believethat it will be the largest convention,ever held.Anyone wishing copies of the officialConvention photograph can securethem by writing direct to J.

The wedding took placein the Tennessee capitol where thecouple will reside.Just before coming to the convention.Brother and Mrs. Wills had returnedfrom a honeymoon trip to Europe.At the convention banquet PresidentUrion presented a membership card inthe Golden Legion to Walter W. Case,Allegheny, '84, a resident of Sault Ste.Marie and a very enthusiastic Phi."Pat," as he is familiarly knownworked early and late to make the stayof the convention at the Soo a successand he certainly succeeded admirably.One of the most interesting featuresof the convention was the presence of[8]Preston W. Search, Wooster, '76,Golden Legionnaire, editor of the first# A 0 Song Book and a most strikingpersonality. Although in his seventyeighthyear. Brother Search is vigorousand carries himself as erectly as ayoung man, being well over six feettall. His home is in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.The convention was touched by themeeting of Brother Search and GeorgeBanta, the elder. They had not seenone another for fifty-two years, theirlast contact having been at the NationalConvention of 1878 in Wooster,Ohio, where Brother Search was conventionpoet and Brother Banta wasmade first president of the GeneralCouncil.Previous to the assembling of theconvention the General Council andthe Detroit Committee were delightfullyentertained at dinner at theGrosse Point Yacht Club by P.P.G.C.Macauley. This club has a beautifulnew building on Lake St. Claire.

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETANo detail was overlooked by theuntiring Detroit committee. One ofthe features of the convention ball heldat the Statler Hotel Friday night, afterthe boat landed was the presentationof very elaborate favors to the guests.Silvef belt buckles were given to themen and crystal pendant necklaces tothe ladies. Both were mounted withthe Phi crest.The first attempt at a Phi Conventiondaily was a great success, thanksto Dean Hoffman and his helpers.While the rest of the delegates andvisitors were asleep or enjoying themselves,Dean and his crew were toilingaway in their improvised print shopOctober, 1930making it possible for us to have thePhi Log on our plates at the breakfasttable.P.P.G.C. Bob Brewer and P.R.G.C.Harry Davis were unable to accompanythe convention on the boat butthey were in Detroit for the openingsession and on the dock to bid us bonvoyage.Seven Past Presidents of the GeneralCouncil were present at theConvention.

New Member of theGeneral CouncilI N THE words of the sages of Stateroom169 on the good ship. EasternStates, flagship, steamer and battleshipof the recent '!» A 0 cruise, dependingon whether your bunk was on "D,""B," or "C" deck, this will introduce"G.C." Joe (Joseph Muriel) Clark, Jr.,Vanderbilt, '16, the new member atlarge of the General Council, who duringthe voyage at different times wasat large on all decks with becomingbehavior on each and every one.To those who were aboard Joe needsno introduction, but for the benefit ofJOSEPH M. CLARK, Vanderbilt, '16By MILLER MANIER, Vanderbilt '17Member of the Survey Commission[12]the less fortunate who did not attend,Joe was born November 5, 1893, atVerona, Mississippi, but shortly thereaftermoved to Shannon, Mississippi(a town of about 300 whites and 700negroes), and for the next thirteenyears was known to the majority ofShannon's population as "Marse" Joeand to the rest as Little Joe, son ofJoseph Muriel Clark and Mamie ElizabethGivhan Clark.Joe attended the public schools ofShannon until the year 1909, when heentered the University TrainingSchool at Oxford, Mississippi, fromwhich he graduated in the spring of1911.In the fall of 1911, he entered theUniversity of Mississippi, where heremained one year and then enteredVanderbilt University, his father'salma mater, in the fall of 1912, whichstarted an all-time record for Vanderbiltlongevity ending in the spring of1923, during which period Joe had accumulateda B.S. degree in 1920 andand LL.B. degree in 1923 and had spentthree years out of school as a merchantin his home town of ShannonMississippi.Joe was initiated into the fraternityby Tennessee Alpha at Vanderbilt October3, 1912, and the three years ofmerchandising followed the completionof his first year at Vanderbilt. Onhis twenty-first birthday, the youngbloods of Shannon, having becomeirked by the then mayor of the town,elected Joe as mayor of the town, butPater Clark took matters in his ownhands and tendered Joe's resignationon the same day of his election.

Vol. LV, No. 1While attending Vanderbilt Joe waspresident of Tennessee Alpha for threedifferent terms and attended the GeneralConventions at Birmingham, Alabama,in 1914 and Atlanta, Georgia, in1920. He was also, during his stay atVanderbilt, a member of the Owl Club(junior honorary), the CommodoreClub (senior honorary) and the $ A ALegal Fraternity, as well as presidentof his second year law class.When war was declared in April,1917, Joe was one of the first to volunteerbut due to his small stature andlack of weight he was consistently refusedenlistment. He thereupon registeredfor the draft, awaited his turn,and continued his studies at Vanderbiltand was elected manager of the1918 Vanderbilt football team.Late in May, 1918, he was called inthe draft, was accepted and was sent toCamp Pike near Little Rock, Arkansas,where he remained for a fewweeks, being made a sergeant, and wassent overseas as a replacement in CompanyE of the Eleventh Infantry, FifthDivision. He was wounded in the armby shrapnel on October 20, 1918, andrefused to go back, and while charginga machine gun on the following daywas seriously wounded again (thiswound has caused more TennesseeAlpha freshmen to get spanked by Joethan anything else. If you want toknow more about it, ask Joe) and wasin a hospital in France for a numberof weeks. He received a personalcitation for bravery for his work onOctober 20 and 21, 1918. His recordfrom Camp Pike through two woundsto a hospital in France is as brief ashis record at Vanderbilt is long—inall about six weeks.Returning to Vanderbilt in 1919,while in the law school Joe workedin the morning in the office of Manierand Crouch, Attorneys at Nashville,Tennessee, for two years and upongraduation became associated with thefirm of Hendrix and Buchanan, attorneysin the Hurt Building at Atlanta,THESCROLLPHI DELTA THETAGeorgia, where he has remained untilthe present.During the fall of 1917, TennesseeBeta at Sewanee, due to war conditions,only returned one or two men,and to help in rushing, Joe went to theMountain with one or two handpickedyounger Tennessee Alpha men and assistedTennessee Beta in its rushingwith such good results that it is stillthe talk of the Mountain. Since hisremoval to Atlanta, Joe has served assecretary of the Atlanta alumni club,chapter adviser to Georgia Delta atGeorgia Tech, president of Epsilonprovince and has been on the editorialboard of THE SCROLL.To the writer's certain knowledge,Joe was the possessor of a certain diamondsolitaire ring which had temporaryresting places in several differentstates, from about the date of hiselection as mayor of Shannon, Mississippi,until the afternoon of March 16,1928, when it came to a permanentresting place on the finger of MissMary Louise Coleman, now Mrs.Joseph Muriel Clark, Jr., formerly ofUniontown, Alabama, a graduate ofthe University of Alabama and anATA.Around August 1, 1929, Joe startedinto the co-ed business with the birthof Isabelle Givhan Clark and while hisallegiance to $ A 0 has in no waybeen abated, he has already begun tostudy the sorority situation in thesouthern colleges.There is no Phi of his generationwho has done more for the fraternityin Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama,and Georgia than Joe and those of uswho know best feel that his elevationto the General Council is a well deservedrecognition of what he hasmeant to $ A 0 in this section and willonly give him a broader field in whichto work for the fraternity and our bestwishes go with him and our congratulationsto the fraternity on itsforesight in electing Joe to this position.[13]

Marie, September 3, 1930.OUR ENRICHING INHERITANCEUT of the days when the world was young.O Of strenuous deeds and heroes unsung.When clothes were homespun and tools were brawn.When rocks were unquarried and timbers unsawn.Hard toiled our ancestors.Investors, bequestors.Laid strong our keels, our foundations deep.With sweat, in best blood, in sacrament vow.When dangers were rife and harvest unreaped.Each standing alone, with hand on the plow,Digging from soil the food of each day.Musket at instant, the enemy at bay;Then born was the nation, our homes slow evolved,A new era dawned, the old was dissolved;Then stood forth the stalwarts, the builders, the seers.The foreguards, the safeguards, the brave pioneers.Our fathers, our mothers.Their sisters and brothers;[14]Fraternity,

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA October, 1930Misery abounds and want everywhere.The need of the world is not for things done.But for things in the doing, for goals to be won;For men invincible.Men of sure principle;Men who are fair, who are just, who are true;Men of great thought.Who cannot be bought;These are the ones most destined to do;And the doing of things is greater than done;The winning of goals is far more than won;The work marks its value in finest control.Reacts on the doer in fibres of soul.He who loves most also is loved most;He who gives best, he is the paid best.Strength is reactive.Character protractive;Man makes himself from victories within.Not what we would do.But what we should do:These are life forces which condition to win..There is need of the brother, the helping hand;There is woe to alleviate, pain to withstand;The age which we live in is teeming fullOf action and duties and rush without lull;Skyscrapers abound, great engines enthrall.Vast enterprises loom, necessities call.O a wonderful world is this that is ours.Packing space into inches, years into hours:Thoughts leaping, industry reaping;Creations gigantic, achievements titanic;But greatest of all is the greatness of Man—Man the achiever, Man the reliever,Man the conceiver, Man the believer—Aye, greatest of greatness is the greatness of Man.The calling now is for great men for new time:Men who can delve, men who can climb.The battle is on, he who fails falls:There's no chance of winning save where progress calls.Mediocrity means but stagnation at best;Not followers but leaders determine conquest.The age is for leaders.For success breeders;There's little of hope for the indolent rest.They may live on others.For what that covers;But the joy of achievement is for those differently blest.What then is the issue for those who would win?This—only the things that make character within.The foot of the goose leaves tracings nil;The hoof of the ox rock-dents mountains and hill.[16]

Installation of Alberta AlphaByARCHER DAVIS,Toronto, '24ALBERTA Alpha of $ A 0 was installedSeptember 12 1930, the firstchapter of any international fraternityto be established at the University ofAlberta. The University regulationsbanning fraternities were lifted in thefall of 1929. The Detroit Conventionacting upon the recommendations ofthe Survey Commission and CanadianPhis, particularly those living in Alberta,recognized the promise of theinstitution as a fraternity field and theexcellence of the local group granting,by an overwhelming vote, the charterfor Alberta Alpha.The installing team was composedof seven Phis, headed by Mark W.Bradford, traveling secretary of thefraternity representing the GeneralCouncil, and Archer Davis, Toronto,'24 who has been living in Edmontonthe past two months and has pilotedthe local group in its campaign for acharter. They were assisted in theinstallation by five Calgary Phis: I. K.Kerr, Jr. Minnesota, '05; J. H. CurranKansas, '14; A. B. Billings, Toronto,'24; John McBrady, Chicago, '29 andGeo. S. McTeer, McGill, '31.The initiation ceremonies were performedat Hotel Macdonald on theafternoon of September 12. The paraphernaliaused belonged to Quebec Alphaand had been expressed to Edmontonfrom Montreal immediately afterthe Convention, so that the chaptercould be installed at once. The chartermembers initiated were Ian S.MacDonald, Alan F. McGill, CampbellMcPherson, Creighton R. Dobson,John E. Hart, Edward F. Foy, HerbertH. Hutton, Stephen M. Smaltz.The initiation banquet was held at theMacdonald at seven thirty and was[23]attended by the newly initiated membersof the Alberta Alpha and the installationteam. Archer Davis actingas toastmaster. The alumni brothersspoke fittingly and the response on behalfof the new chapter was made byIan MacDonald.The new chapter was formally installedwith due ceremony immediatelyafter the banquet.The first formal chapter meeting ofAlberta Alpha was held at Hotel Macdonald,Saturday, September 13,Brothers Bradford and Davis meetingwith the new chapter.APT had an active membership oftwenty-three. Owing to local conditionsit was deemed advisable by theGeneral Council to proceed with theinstallation with all speed. Accordinglyit took place two weeks beforeschool opened and inasmuch as themembers were scattered over the threewestern provinces it was absolutelyimpossible for more than eight to bepresent.The morning of the day of installationBrothers Bradford, Davis, andHerbert Hutton had an interview withDr. R. C. Wallace, President of theUniversity of Alberta. They wereassured by him of the University'spleasure in welcoming $ A 0 to thecampus of the desire of the administrationto co-operate fully with the newgroup and the General Fraternity.After consultation with CanadianPhis, the General Council has decidedto place Alberta Alpha in Pi Provinceso that it may be associated with thechapter at the University of BritishColumbia, also chartered by the DetroitConvention and to be installed in October.

Alberta and Alpha Rho TauIHE University of Alberta is locatedin Edmonton, a prosperous city of85,000 people. Two transcontinentalrailway lines serve the city which isjust south of the geographical centerof Alberta. This province is 225,000sq. miles in area with a population ofabout 700,000. The resources of theprovince are numerous, chiefly agriculturaland mineral products. Grain,coal, natural gas, petroleum, timber,tar sands and numerous others contributeto the prosperity, of Alberta.Alberta joined the confederation ofCanadian provinces in 1905.The University of Alberta was createdby an act of the first session ofthe first legislature of the province, in1906 which set up the legal frameworkon which the institution could be constructed.The chief buildings on the campusare the arts building, medical building,three dormitories, three engineeringlaboratories, a large hospital, and twoaffiliated colleges. The students havealready erected a covered hockeyrink and work is expected to commenceshortly on a large gymnasium, also beingbuilt by the students.Degrees are granted in all branchesof academic and professional work.Registration is about 2,000, with aboutfour men in attendance for every woman.There are on the campus, besides* A 0, two other fraternities, bothlocals at present. It is understood thatone of these groups has been granteda charter by Z * and the other a charterby $ K n, a purely Canadian organization.The honor of being thefirst general fraternity on the campusgoes to * A 0 and this flying start willbe used to good advantage.By IAN MACDONALD and JOHN HART,Charter Members of Alberta Alpha[25]The ban on fraternities at the Universityof Alberta was lifted in theAutumn of 1929 and during the Christmasholidays five Edmonton studentsmet to discuss the formation of a localgroup with the ultimate idea of petitioning* A 0. By a strange coincidencethis first meeting was held exactlyeighty-one years from the daythe formation of * A 0 was first discussedin Miami University at Oxford.Several members of this group wereacquainted with Phis from Quebec Alphaand Ontario Alpha, and it wasdecided immediately to communicatewith them to discover the method ofprocedure to secure a * A © charter.To our eastern brothers we will beforever indebted for their untiring effortsin our behalf.Immediately following the re-openingof school five others were invitedto join the group. This group wasthen enlarged to seventeen and finallyto twenty-three. The local name,APT was decided upon and it wasalso decided to petition * A 0 oflScially,as soon as the university authoritiesgranted us a local charter. Thiswas done about March 15.Shortly after this date, we werefavored with a call from Archer Davis.Toronto, '24, who heard that we werepetitioning. He explained the situationto us very clearly and strongly urgedus to carry on with our petition. Sincethat time Brother Davis has been ourvalued adviser in all matters pertainingto the fraternity. In early Aprilat our local banquet, we had as ourhonored guests Brother Davis, andI. K. Kerr, Minnesota, '05, both ofwhom gave us helpful advice.We were next favored with a visit

The University of Manitoba andManitoba AlphaIHE University of Manitoba wasestablished by an act of the ManitobaLegislature in the year 1877, "forthe purpose (as the preamble states)of raising the standard of higher educationin the province, and of enablingall denominations and classes to obtainacademic degrees." For the nexttwenty-three years, however, it actedonly as an examining body, and therewas no instruction provided. In theyear 1900, by an amendment to theUniversity Act, it was given "powerto give instruction and teaching in theseveral faculties and different branchesof knowledge as may from time totime be directed by the Council of theUniversity." The previously existingcolleges within the province, namely,St. John (Anglican), St. Boniface(Roman Catholic), Manitoba (Presbyterian)and Wesley (Methodist)were received into affiliation with theUniversity, and the present basis ofinstruction was established. Lecturesbegan in that year with about thirtystudents and three or four professorsin attendance. In the thirty years thathave followed the institution hasgrown to include over five hundredprofessors and assistants and a studentbody approaching four thousand. Thisphenomenal development over such ashort period of time is unparalleled inthe history of any university in theDominion of Canada. Manitoba nowincludes faculties giving instruction inall the major branches of learning,including engineering, architecture,medicine, arts, science, law, agriculture,pharmacy, theology and accountancy.This rapid growth not onlyBy IRVING KEITH,Reporter, Manitoba Alpha[29]illustrates the increasing interest ofthe people of the province in highereducation, but also the excellence ofthe instruction that has been provided,which has done so much to foster thisinterest.Despite this rapid growth in theacademic field, it was many years beforeany interest was taken in fraternities.The oldest fraternity on thecampus has been established for onlyseven years, and the total number of"nationals" now represented, with theexception of * A 0, is but five, namely,Z *, A K E, 0 K *, S A M and A Y.A X was the sixth fraternity to appear,and was founded in the year1926-27. It was originally the idea ofWilliam Hurst, who proposed it toseveral of his intimate friends. Thefirst meetings were held very secretlyin the homes of the various members,in order that the foundation of a strongbrotherhood might be laid before theestablishment of a new fraternity becamegenerally known. It was thedetermination of each of the foundersthat once the organization was establishedit would continue to existthroughout the lives of its members,at least. Once the project had beendefinitely undertaken, twenty-one boyswere included as charter members, apin was adopted and A X took its placeamong the other fraternities on thecampus. It was accorded a warm welcomeby the older organizations andhas ever since retained a prominentposition in the academic, social, andathletic life of the campus.For the first year the fraternity metin a large room, which it obtained in

Vol. LV, No. 1the Hurst Block, through the courtesyof Mr. Hurst, the father of the founderof the brotherhood. At the beginningof the second year a house wasrented on Hargrave Street, near thesite of the arts building, and with sixmembers in residence, the boys took uphousekeeping. The third year, due toexpansion, it was necessary to obtaina larger house, and this was done amonth before the opening of the fallterm of that year. Considerable additionswere made at this time to theproperty of the fraternity, and a largerhouse afforded a better meeting placefor the increasing number of brothers.In the spring of 1930 the fraternitysuccessfully negotiated a sale of allthe furniture, etc., which it had acquired,and as a result had sufficientproceeds on hand this fall to furnishcompletely a still larger house—intowhich it has now moved.It was during the latter part of thespring term of 1929-30 that the brothersof A X became intimately acquaintedwith several of the Phi Deltsin Winnipeg. This acquaintanceshipTHE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAquickly became a friendship that grewstronger with the passing of the termand the summer. Other Phis werelooked up, and it was found that therewere ten all told—most of whom hadknown each other for years, withoutdiscovering that they were brothers.Alumni dinners became popular, andjoint meetings of the Phi alums andthe brothers of A X were held. Sostrong did the friendship become thatit was resolved never to be discontinued,even if the petition, which wasdrawn and presented to the GeneralCouncil under the sponsorship of thePhi alumni, was rejected.When the charter was finally granted,the local Phis were almost aspleased as the boys themselves. Planswere quickly laid for initiation andinstallation of the brothers into * A ©,and the Phis of the city left nothingundone, which they thought might addto the enjoyment of the great occasion.On Wednesday, September 17 MarkBradford arrived to direct the ceremonies,and on Thursday, five Phisfrom North Dakota (Lynn Grinson,^:rlicfr.

Tryon, Minnesota, '05)who gave a dinner in the TapestryRoom of the Royal Alexandria Hotel.Much fun was derived from trying tosing the "new" Phi songs, which theboys have been humming ever since,and all were unanimous in declaringit to be the greatest banquet they hadever attended.On Saturday the new chapter held areception in the Fort Garry Hotel,where it received the congratulationsof some two hundred representativesof the various fraternities, sororitiesand faculties of the University.Now that the formalities are at anend, the brothers are looking forwardto the greatest year in their history.By no means the least reason for thishappy prospect is the bond which hasbeen established between themselvesand the men whom the boys were onceproud to call their friends and whomthey may now hail as their brothers in* A 0.It has been a most exciting andhappy week, and it is impossible forthe brothers of Manitoba Alpha sufficientlyto thank all the sister chaptersfor the support accorded their petition,but it is their hope that they will provethemselves worthy of the honour bestowedupon them by maintaining thehigh standard of the fraternity.AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA[32]

Thisbetters by six feet, the former world'srecord and gives to the six foot sixinch brother from the west a clear titleas the greatest discus thrower, pastand present of the universe. BrotherJessup will be remembered as the captainof last year's football team at theUniversity of Washington and one ofthe best centers of the season.While his chapter mate was winningsuch laurels in the field, Steve Anderson,Washington, '30, was running thehigh hurdles in 14.4 seconds on a slowtrack to tie the world's record for the120 yard event. Experts said that hadthe track been more favorable, BrotherAnderson might have run a race thatwould stand for all time.

Phi Leaders in the Professional WorldVII.OL /LD Aesculapius might not havebeen much astounded at the methodsof Hippocrates or even of Galen,some centuries later on, but the chancesare that if he happened to glance California-wardsfrom his Thessalianmountain top, a Coffey-Humber methodof treating cancer would give hima bit to ponder over. Many otherthings in these later days, modern psychiatricaccomplishments, for example,would probably puzzle that ancient sonof Apollo. The word phychiatry itselfwould be a mystery to him, despiteits etymological relationship tothe contemporary maiden who was engagedin such a carrying on withCupid.It would have been an extraordinarilyfascinating survey to havewatched with Aesculapius, downthrough the centuries, the developmentof the medical arts in which he wasso interested. For indeed, medicine isamong the oldest of the professions,one whose early years are so shroudedin antiquity as to make such professionsas engineering in its modernform seen but a callow, beardlessyouth beside it. With the Olympianpatron we could have looked down onthe laudable Greek and Roman contributions; we could have watched theblight of African-born plagues duringthe Dark Ages; we could have seenhow the barber-pole got its red andwhite stripes ; we could have been withHarvey when he was proving the circulationof the blood and with Jennerin his epochal work with smallpox.Medicine is not the exact sciencethat mathematics is, and possibly thereBy RUSSELL H.

It is difficult for the laymanto realize the ramifications of thisancient and honorable profession.From four to six years study on topof the usual college course is necessarybefore one even begins to specialize.Specialization offers unlimitedpossibilities. Dermatology, for instance,introduces one to some eighthundred diseases of the skin.Phis are occupying some of the enviableniches in this profession. Leadersin the field represent a number ofdifferent phases of the profession.Various colleges and universities aretheir alma maters, although the namesof certain schools are ones to conjurewith in medicine just as it is the casewith the ministry, law, etc.In Chicago there is Harold S. Hulbert,Michigan, '12 who took his doctoratein medicine two years later. Hehas become one of the foremost psychiatricspecialists of the Illinois metropolis.Here is a case in point regardingspecialization : for three yearsafter finishing his regular medicalcourse Brother Hulbert was engagedin post-graduate work in psychiatry.Incidentally, during this period he activelyorganized and directed the DetroitPsychopathic Clinic in connectionwith the juvenile court.

AtGreat Lakes he organized a psychiatricunit composed entirely of collegemen. At sea, his duties were to bringhome from France and England largenumbers of the nervous and mental"cases" which developed in the A.E.F.He was attached to the great Americanship Leviathan.Before the war Brother Hulberttaught nervous diseases at the Universityof Michigan and after the warhe was connected with the College ofMedicine at Chicago of the Universityof Illinois, as a teacher of mental diseases.More recently he has engagedin private practice. Brother Hulbert'shobby is research work and he is particularlyinterested in developing whathe calls an anti-herpes serum for epidemicencephalitis lethargica. To theuninitiated this is sleeping sickness.Jumping down to the Southwest wefind Leroy S. Peters, Minnesota, '04,of Albuquerque, New Mexico. BrotherPeters has a nation-wide reputationas a specialist in diseases of thechest. His interest in such a phase ofmedicine is perhaps but natural, sinceduring his interneship in Chicago followinghis graduation in 1906 from theUniversity of Illinois Medical Schoolhe broke down with an acute type oflaryngeal tuberculosis. He removed toAlbuquerque to take advantage of theclimate and in spite of the seriousnessof his case he was able to begin practice,in Silver City, in 1907. Sinceovercoming his own case he has advancedrapidly in fame and importancein his chosen field.For a number of years following1908 Brother Peters was medical directorof various tuberculosis sanatoriumsin the Southwest. Since 1925 he[39]has engaged in private practice. Hehas become an authority on all formsof compression therapy or surgery ofthe chest and has contributed numeroustechnical articles on this subject.He has also conducted considerable researchon the relationship betweenblood pressure and prognosis in tuberculouscases.DR. L. S. PETERS, Minnesota, '04The work of Brother Peters has metwith widespread professional recognitionand honor. In 1927 he waselected a fellow of the American Collegeof Physicians. During two periodshe has been a director of theNational Tuberculosis Association.He is also a member of the AmericanMedical Association, the AmericanSanatorium Association, N S N medicalfraternity, $ K $ honorary fraternity,etc.Coming from the Southwest up tothe Northeast we find Gilbert Horrax,Williams, '09, of Boston. BrotherHorrax' particular field is neurologicalsurgery. For the decade and a half

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA October, 1930just past, he has been more or less intimatelyassociated with the famed Dr.Harvey Gushing, probably the greatestneurological surgeon in the country.Horrax spent his early life inMontclair, New Jersey, summering ina small Connecticut village. He completeda very active college course atWilliams in 1909 during which he hadbeen on the track team for four years,two of them as captain, had playedvarsity basketball, been a class president.Christian Association president,and member of three successive classsocieties. A trip to Europe via cattlesteamer during the summer followinggraduation eventually took him to theHartz Mountains where he spent thegreater part of the time picking upa speaking knowledge of the Germanlanguage.In the fall of 1909 Brother Horraxentered the Johns Hopkins MedicalSchool where he finished four yearslater thirteenth in a class of eighty.His interneship was spent at the PeterBent Brigham Hospital at Bostonwhere his association with Dr. Gushingfirst began. One year was spent asa fellow in Harvard Medical Schooland two years in France attached to anAmerican base hospital. He enteredthe service as a first lieutenant andwas discharged in April, 1919, as major.Most of the time since the warBrother Horrax has served as neurologicalsurgeon in various Boston hospitalsand also in faculty and administrativepositions in the HarvardMedical School. He has contributednumerous articles on surgery to! variousmedical journals and holds membershipin a number of scientific societies.Continuing our circuit of the countrywe eventually come to Jacksonville,Florida, where we may stop to meetone of the leading dermatologists ofthe South, Joseph Lee Kirby-Smith,Sewanee, '99, a son of the famousConfederate general, E. Kirby-Smith.After twenty years of soldiering GeneralKirby-Smith devoted his life tothe teaching of mathematics, becominga professor at Sewanee. Here BrotherKirby-Smith received his education,here he was initiated in TennesseeBeta in 1899, here he finished withhighest honors from the Medical Departmentin 1906. For three years,following 1899, he had been in the departmentof science at the University.His undergraduate days were busy andstrenuous ones. He played five yearsas left tackle on the football team,gaining the captaincy and recognitionas all-Southern tackle.After graduation in medicine BrotherKirby-Smith devoted four yearsto the special study of dermatology inNew York, being connected with anumber of well known hospitals andclinics for skin diseases.

He attainedinternational reputation by his studiesand research work in connection withcreeping eruption, a common and distressingskin disease prevalent in theSouth. In honor of this work his almamater gave him in 1928 the honorarydegree of doctor of science. The onlyother alumnus ever to receive thisdegree from the University of theSouth was General Gorgas of theUnited States Army.One of the most prominent doctorsin Columbus, Ohio, is John EdwinBrown, Ohio Wesleyan, '84, a specialistin ophthalmology, otology, rhinology,and laryngology, which to the laymancan be easily translated as "eye, ear,nose, and throat." The various educational,professional, and fraternalactivities of Brother Brown wouldseem to have left him little time forthe practice of his profession, but ofcourse his various honors have comeas the result of demonstrated ability.Brother Brown took his doctor's degreein 1887, had a year of postgraduatework in New York, and hasstudied in Vienna at various times.Since 1887 he has been in practice atColumbus. For six years he was ophthalmologistfor the Ohio penitentiaryand during twenty-three years for thestate school for the blind.Just to mention a few of BrotherBrown's various educational connections,he has served on the faculties ofvarious Ohio medical colleges nowcombined as the medical departmentof the Ohio State University as professorof otology, rhino-laryngology,diseases of the nose, throat and accessorycavities, etc. He is nowemeritus head of the department ofophthalmology and otolaryngology ofthe Ohio State Medical College. Hishas been the longest continuous serviceof any member now connected withthis faculty. Brother Brown is a fellowof the American College of Surgeons,a former president of theAmerican Academy of Ophthalmology[41]and Otolaryngology, and a memberand officer of numerous other professionalorganizations. He has twiceserved as delegate to international ophthalmologicalcongresses, at Utrecht in1899 and Naples in 1909. He has hadincidental connections of importancewith banking and manufacturing inOhio.All this is aside from the varied andvaluable activity which has associatedBrother Brown with his fraternity.From 1889 to 1896 he was editor ofTHE SCROLL and from 1902 to 1904president of the General Council; from1886 to 1889 he was secretary of theGeneral Council. At all times he hasbeen a most active and interestedworker in the affairs of * A 0. Since1916 he has been a trustee of OhioWesleyan and a member of its investmentand finance committees. A son,John E., Jr., was an honor graduate atWilliams and at Harvard MedicalSchool in recent years.Another of the past officers of * A 0who has distinguished himself also inthe medical profession is McCluneyRadcliffe, Lafayette, '77. From 1896to 1900 Brother Radcliffe was Historianof the General Council. PennsylvaniaZeta owes him a considerabledebt for the re-establishment of thatchapter in the fall of 1887 when allof the members of the chapter (all inmedicine at the time) had been graduated.His interest in Masonry haslikewise been noteworthy, culminatingin election to the Thirty-third Degreein 1912.Brother Radcliffe was graduatedwith honorable mention from themedical department of the Universityof Pennsylvania in 1882. Followinghis graduation he had a long and notablecareer as surgeon and consultingsurgeon in a number of Philadelphiahospitals. His work, principally inophthalmology, has been quite prominentin the large Pennsylvania city andhe has contributed many articles tomedical journals. He is an ex-presidentof the Medical Club of Philadelphia.He has since 1896, been a trustee

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA October, 1930of Lafayette College. In fact, $ A ©and Lafayette College, he writes, arehis two outstanding interests. ALafayette classmate once wrote of himthat he should pay an extra assessmentfor the space taken up by his list ofachievements. He received the degreeof LL.D. from Gettysburg College in1914.The students of the Medical Collegeof Virginia say that Greer Baughman,Virginia, '93, can lecture upon anysubject and make it interesting whetherhe knows anything about it or not.They should know since he has beenteaching at the college since his graduationin medicine from Virginia in1897. He has successively taughtphysiology, pathology, bacteriology,histology, and obstetrics. For threeyears he was in the great clinics ofVienna, Berlin, London, Paris, andDublin. For two years, during theWar, he served as captain and registrarof the base hospital unit of theVirginia Medical College which sawservice in Toul, France.Baughman is a fellow of the AmericanCollege of Surgeons. He has readmany technical papers at such meetingsas those of the Southern SurgicalAssociation, the American Associationof Obstetricians, Gynecologistsand Abdominal Surgeons, etc. Witheight other doctors he conducts theStuart Circle private hospital in Richmond,Virginia. He is perhaps as wellknown locally for his interest in recreationof all sorts but particularly watersports, as for anything else. He is aspecial examiner of the American RedCross life saving corps and is presidentof the Council of Social Agenciesof Richmond.Some of the most noteworthy contributionsmade for the betterment ofhumanity have been made by membersof the United States Public HealthService. They are unsung heroes butby no means unhonored. One of thegreatest of them is Edward Francis,Ohio State, '94. Brother Francis hasbut followed in the steps of an olderbrother, Mark, Ohio State, '87. However,the latter is perhaps more particularlya research professor. BrotherEdward Francis after receiving hisbachelor's degree in science from OhioState attended the University of Cincinnatiwhere he received the degreeof M.D. in 1897.For many years Brother Francishas been attached to the Public HealthService and has made remarkable contributionsin that capacity. Two ofhis earlier projects were those connectedwith the study of tularemia,more commonly known as "rabbit disease,"and the study of Malta fever.Brother Francis found the cause anddeveloped the treatment for talaremia,a disease which affects rabbits andwhich can be transmitted from therabbit carcasses to human beings withserious and frequently fatal results.More recently he has been investigatingthe mysterious "parrot fever" orpsittacosis, the disease which causedsuch a flurry in the country a fewmonths ago. In the course of his investigationsBrother Francis contractedthe disease himself.William E. Elkin, Centre, '79, haslong been a prominent surgeon in Atlanta,Georgia; he is now dean emeritusof the Emory University Schoolof Medicine. William A. Sawyer,Pennsylvania, '07, is the medical directorof the Eastman Kodak Companyin Rochester. Robert E. Noble,Alabama Polytechnic, '90, had a longand outstanding career in the MedicalCorps of the U. S. Army, ultimatelyreaching the rank of major-general.Hermann G. Gessner, Tulane, '89, hasfor many years been a leading surgeonin New Orleans; he is on the medicalfaculty of Tulane University.[42]

James Rives Childs—DistinguishedVirginianIT WAS in historic Richmond, Virginia,this summer that I saw RiveChilds who had returned to his nativeState after having lingered on a foreignstrand for the past twelveyears. He was here to spend sometime before being transferred to theAmerican Legation at Cairo, Egypt.He is still Virginian in many ways anda guardian of those who "wrought andleft behind the perfume of tradition"and yet he is enough of a modern tobelieve that we should not use ourtraditions as rocking chairs, as LadyAstor told us University of Virginiastudents a few years ago.My meeting with Rives Childs gavepiquancy to an otherwise dull afternoon.While talking with him I soonforgot the raucous sounds of passingmotor cars. I sort of unconsciously—I guess—tossed into the limbo offorgetfulness, temporarily anyway, theennui one encounters in daily routine.He was naively telling me about Jerusalemwhere he was the AmericanConsul—about Russia where he methis charming wife of Russian nobility—about Bucharest where he was alsoAmerican Consul—about Greece. Buthe possessed another Virginian trait—he was too modest for my inquisitorialnature. My predatory search,however, lead me to the State Librarywhere I found "Reliques of the Rives"by Rives Childs—a valuable additionto one's book shelf on Virginiana.Here I gathered in small print thekudos that had come to him which hedid not relate to me.Before I tell of his distinguishedBy GEORGE E. BOOKER 3rd,Randolph-Macon, '21; Virginia, '24[43]service I would like to epitomize hislife up to his college and universitydays.Rives Childs was born in Lynchburg,Virginia, on February 6, 1893. Letus skip over those early, delightfuldays when one stays away from schoolto chase with childish excitement, kitesin a nearby vacant lot—over his "prep"school days when he donned his firstlong trousers and thought the wholeworld was noticing him—to the fall of1911 when he entered Randolph-MaconCollege. It was not long beforeVirginia Gamma Chapter of * A 0which usually gets the best boys fromLynchburg, asked young Childs tojoin, and he accepted. While herehe was one of the founders of theB.L.A.C.K.I. Ribbon Society whichis the oldest social order on the campusand to be "tapped" by them is stillconsidered a no mean college honor.Rives Childs had a brother, John WesleyChilds, a noble spirit and brilliantmind and a member of ^ A 0 whodied a few years after his graduationfrom Randolph-Macon College. Tohis memory there was erected, largelythrough the effort and funds of RivesChilds, the John Wesley Childs MemorialChapter House of VirginiaGamma of * A 0.On the walls of the chapter house,just above the large open fire place, isa bronze tablet to the memory of JohnWesley Childs. On leaving the houseone sees on the walls by the door acopy of a portrait of Rives Childspainted by Nicolai Fechin in Kazan,Russia, in 1921 which was presented

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA October, 1930to the Chapter by him with the followingcharming inscription written byhim under the picture."In making a gift to the Fraternity inmemory of my brother, John WesleyChilds, I had no thought of the mereperpetuation of his name. What I setstore by was the perpetuation of thoseideals—a passionate love of truth and theconsecration of life to one of service—which so highly distinguished him.Names may die but ideals once given lifelive forever in the souls of men."It is the ideals of my brother whichI have thought worthy of perpetuating.It is my earnest hope that they will beand that the artificial memorial of ahouse will not obscure the more significantspiritual memorial."From Randolph-Macon Collegewhere he was graduated he enteredHarvard University where he took agreat interest in the * A 0 Club there.After graduating from Harvard hewas assistant master at the LawrencevilleSchool in New Jersey. Now totell something of Virginia Gamma'smost distinguished living member.During the World War he was FirstLieutenant and was appointed Aidede-Campto the Commanding officer,159th Brigade, 80th Division, CampLee, Virginia, and he was subsequentlydetailed to the Army War Collegeand after a course of instruction tothe Military Intelligence Division,General Staff. In February, 1918, hetook up his duties as chief of theBureau of Enemy Ciphers Radio IntelligenceSection of General Headquartersin France, acting also asliaison officer of the Section with theFrench and British War Offices. OnOctober, 1918, he deciphered the sameday on which it was sent one of thelongest cipher messages dispatched byenemy wireless during the war—thatfrom General Von Mackensen inBucharest to the German GeneralStaff giving Mackensen's plan of campaignin the Balkans and his estimateof the enemy's intentions. After thearmistice. Lieutenant Childs was detailedto the Supreme War Council atVersailles and later to the AmericanCommission to Negotiate Peace. InApril, 1918, he was detailed with headquartersin Saloniki, Greece, wherehe had charge of child feeding insouthern Serbia to September, 1918.Demobilized the following month, Mr.Childs took up work as an AssociatedPress correspondent in Washingtonand was the White House correspondentduring the last six months ofWilson's administration.In August, 1921, Mr. Childs enteredSoviet Russia with the American ReliefAdministration, assisting in makingup the first food train dispatchedto the famine regions and then to Kazanwhere he spent almost two yearsas assistant and later as district superintendentof the Kazan District of theA.R.A., supervising the feeding at onetime of 3,000.000 individuals.In 1923 Mr. Childs entered theAmerican Consular Service and wasappointed American Consul at Jerusalem.After spending some time inPalestine he was American Consul atBucharest and has just been transferredto the American Legation atCairo, Egypt.[44]

V.L.M.LV THE SCROLL N*'*^"""•' PHI DELTA THETA '"'Editorial . .Fraternity chapters are becoming known too much as "houses" and notenough as organizations or integral parts of organizations with ideas andideals. There are those who consider the modern fraternity as merely aplace to house the student population, but if they are only that they wouldbetter prepare to go out of business. Other less expensive and moreefficient means of solving the housing problem are being injected into thesituation in the form of well built and well operated dormitories.How many Phi Delta Theta chapters are faced with a diminishingincome to carry the heavy turden of a not too well financed chapter housebecause the college or university has seen fit to make the residence in adormitory obligatory to members of one or both of the imderclasses ?How much of a place has the chapter made for itself in the institution byits service and contribution to the welfare of the college aside from thehousing of a number of its students?We ask this question because the next step in some cases is the adoptionof the dormitory system for all. Fraternities originally had no chapterhouses and it will be interesting to see whether their evolution canreverse itself and permit their readjustment to the new conditions. W'ebelieve they can but we also believe that they ought to be preparing for theinevitable.A fraternity chapter is net a "hiuse." If y»u consider your chapter inthat light you have missed the point of the whole thing.Some significant changes have been taking place at Ohio State University.Some time ago the old Panhellenic Council was superseded byconferences of chapter presidents and now comes the announcement thatfraternity men as a group have passed nonfraternity men in scholarshiprating.An interesting innovation also at Ohio State is the movement originatingin the dean's office for more courteous treatment of traveling officersof fraternities. It seems strange that it should be necessary to seekcourtesy for a group of men whose mission it is to be helpful to the chaptersthemselves. They ought to be welcomed with open arms for theservice they have it in their power to render.[99]

New Chapter House of Oregon Beta,Oregon State CollegeBy AL^RK A. GRAYSON,ReporterW hen the new Oregon Beta chapterhouse was finished and ready for ocpancythe latter part of September,a dream of thirteen years was realized.Active and alumni members back in1918 started the plans that were materializedthis year when the $42,000home was completed. All the hardwork and difficult managing has beenrewarded with this house, for it givesus a chapter home adequate in everyway and one that is a credit to «t A 0.The house is of the English typewith low, long lines; brick veneer tothe second floor and wide cedar sidingthe rest of the way to the roof. Capacityof forty men with sleeping anddining facilities for an additional tenmakes the home comfortable androomy for its occupants. The buildingadjoins the campus, not more thanfive blocks from the heart of thecollege grounds.A club room, trunk and storageroom, laundry, dry room, fruit storage,boiler room and wood storage roomare included in the basement. On thefirst floor, living room, dining room,library, guest room, kitchen and pantry.The second floor is given overentirely to study rooms and bathrooms. On the third floor are thechapter hall, sleeping quarters, and onestudy room.LIVING ROOM, OREGON BETA'S NEW CHAPTER[101]HOUSE

All latestconveniences are included in the home,which is unique in many ways. LouTraver, Corvallis, was general contractor,and Morris Whitehouse, Portland,architect.Hundreds of Oregon State studentsand faculty members and other friendsof the Fraternity were given a chanceto inspect the new quarters, when thechapter held open house October 28.Phis who were present were morethan pleased at the comments heardabout the building.Ground was broken for the houseMay 14 of this year, the work ofconstruction taking about one hundreddays. The lots on which the buildingrests were purchased back in December,1920. The K S N Association,comprised of members of the localwhich obtained the Oregon Beta chapterof ^ A 0, has done a lion's shareof work required for the new house.Their splendid efiforts and the untiringwork and willing cooperation of otheralumni, and the active chapter havegiven the Oregon State chapter ahome to be proud of and one that willbe an inspiration for greater achievements.[102]

Phi Leaders in the Professional WorldVIIIIN THESE days of gang warfare thecynical may indeed think that Justicemust be the Blind Goddess. Thesymbolism, however, is undoubtedlyintended to represent the impartialityof that Grecian-clad female whose leftand right hands, by the instrumentsthey grasp, might suggest a curiousmixture of commerce and militarism.Be that as it may, she is an ancientindividual, this Goddess of Justice, forall her youthfulness of form and feature.For many, many centuries thenations have paid homage to her andthe profession she personifies. Forlaw, together with theology and medicine,form the trinity of the oldestrecognized professions.The language of law is perhaps notso bewildering to the layman as thatof its sister profession, medicine, butstill it has its torts and bailments,its choses in action and misfeasances,its non obstante verdictds and ubi jus,ibi remeitium, which, except for thefact that it is Latin, might excusablybe "all Greek" to the average reader.Nor is a lawyer made overnight. Thedays when one could "read law" inthe office of some established attorneyare past. From two to four years ofundergraduate preparation are requiredBy RUSSELL H. FITZGIBBOMHanover '24LAWfollowed by three or four or evenmore years of study of the actual lawbefore the necessary LL.B. or J.D. canlegally be added to the aspirant's name.The rewards of the profession arenumerous and considerable, though.The lawyer is a doctor of social ills,physician to the body politic, as itwere. Although the temptation toloose practice is great for the potentialshyster or ambulance chaser, thelawyer of character and ability becomesa recognized community leaderand benefactor. Money rewards, too,are frequently of large size. Oftentimeseven "retainers" in importantcases reach four or five figures.It is not unusual that many Phishave listened to the lure of the law. Inparticular instances it is difficult toseparate those who follow su-h a professionfrom those brothers who havebeen classed as public servants, sincethe two go hand in hand so frequently.However, the attempt is made, andwe should like to introduce to $ A 0a number of the fraternity's leadingattorneys.It might be fitting first to mentionone of the most prominent of theyounger lawyers of Chicago, a graduateof Dartmouth and the HarvardMARTIN A.MORRISONButlev, '83R.

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA November, 1930Law School, a brother widely knownto the fraternity as "Henry," moreformally as Henry K. Urion, Dartmoutli,'12, Past President of the GeneralCouncil. At present BrotherUrion heads the firm of Urion, Drucker,Reichmann, and Boutell, a groupwhich has been actively identified withthe radio industry in practically allof its legal ramifications,, representingtrade associations and a number ofleading radio manufacturers. A combinationof bar and bench peculiarlyinteresting to $ A 0 occurred not solong ago when Brother Urion arguedin Chicago the leading case determiningthe constitutionality of the FederalRadio Act before U. S. District JudgeJames H. Wilkerson, DePauw, '89. Thecase is now pending in the SupremeCourt.The law is really a family vocationwith Brother Urion. He began practicewith a Chicago firm headed byNoble B. Judah, Brown, '04. Duringthe war he served as counsel to thedistrict draft board, as a Four-MinuteMan, and in other civilian capacities.After the armistice he was called toWashington to serve as assistant to thespecial representative of the Secretaryof War, engaged in the settlement ofover $300,000,000 of claims against theallied governments growing out of thejoint conduct of the war. Upon completionof this service he was sent toFrance as counsel for the War Departmentmission having charge of theforeign sales of our surplus warstocks.The fraternity work of BrotherUrion is too recent and well known torequire comment. He was Treasurerof the General Council from 1923 to1928 and was chosen its President atNashville two years ago.The chapter at Ole Miss has producedmany famous sons despite anenforced suspension of fourteen yearswhen its charter was held in escrow.Among the most famous of its sons isLamar Hardy, Mississippi, '98, Vanderbilt,'00. He received a Ph.B. from:i04]Mississippi in 1898 and then enteredVanderbilt where two years later hewas granted his bachelor's degree inlaw. At Vanderbilt he affiliated withTennessee Alpha and was an activemember of the chapter. Following hiswork at Vanderbilt he went to Harvardto pursue his studies in law.However, he didn't get to Harvard.En route he stopped in New York tovisit a young Harvard lawyer andwhile there was offered a position ina law office. He accepted and hassince been in New York.In 1913 Brother Hardy joined agroup of active young lawyers whosucceeded in nominating for mayor ofNew York City the late John PurroyMitchell. During the Mitchell administrationBrother Hardy was selectedas corporation counsel for the City ofNew York. Thus, at thirty-six, hewas heading the largest law office inthe world. When he retired from thisoffice in 1918 he returned to privatepractice and has since specializedprincipally in corporation, financial,and banking law. He has been a trusteeand director in many banks andother financial institutions and is counselto a number of large and nationallyknown business organizations.Brother Hardy is now the senior memberof Hardy and Hardy.Head of the largest single familyrelief organization in the UnitedStates, co-author of the Czecho-Slovakiandeclaration of Independence,bystander at the attempted assassinationof General James A. Walker, theseare some of the high points in tliecareer of Robert M. Calfee, Roanolie,'93. Brother Calfee was born in Virginiain 1876, some years after theCivil War but still close enough toit to get some taste of the bitter politicsof the post-bellum period. Whenhe was but twenty he was chairman ofa congressional campaign committeein Virginia. It was between the agesof eighteen and twenty-two that hewas closely associated with the politicallife of General Walker, successor

Vol. LV, No. 2to the Confederate command of"Stonewall" Jackson. Most of thepolitical fights over the General werevery bitter and Brother Calfee waswith him when the attempt was madeon his life in 1898.After taking his arts degree fromRoanoke, Brother Calfee receivedfrom George Washington University,in 1901, his LL.B. degree. He haspracticed law in Cleveland since 1902.He has had many interesting legal experiencesbut his activity has not byany means been confined to his chosenprofession. Since 1917 he has servedas one of the four members of theOhio Public Health Council, the statedepartment of health of the Buckeyestate. Since 1926 he has been presidentof the Associated Charities ofCleveland, the large welfare organizationof that city. For a number ofyears he has been a trustee of RoanokeCollege. He assisted PresidentThomas Masaryk of Czecho-Slovakiain preparing that country's declarationof independence in 1918. During thelatter part of the World War he servedas a special legal adviser in the WarDepartment."That, sketchily, is the story ofBrother Calfee. And, may we add,since 1924 he has been a most efficienttrustee of the Walter B.

Morrison, Butler, '83. Many eminencesof governmental service havebeen reached by this brother, who isa Golden Legionnaire, Thirty-thirdDegree Mason, etc. In addition to hisbachelor's degree he received an .\.M.from Butler in 1885 and an LL.B. fromVirginia in 1886. Until 1909 BrotherMorrison held only two local publicoffices, but in that year began an eightyear term of service in the U. S. Houseof Representatives. During the WorldWar he served for a short period asdirector of the U. S. Bureau of Information.From December 1919 to July 1921Brother Morrison served as presidentof the U. S.

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA November, 1930its legal system a number of featurespeculiarly akin to those of the MotherEngland. For one thing, the termsbarrister and solicitor are much morefamiliar to our brothers of the Dominion,as in England, than our "lawyer."For another, barristers, as wellas judges, are gowned while appearingin court. Then again, the more distinguishedmembers of the Canadianand British bars are sometimes entitledto the coveted initials '"K.C."after their names, a distinction naturallyforeign to our own legal practice.These letters stand for ''King'sCounsel," and represent one of thehighest honors that can be bestowed ona Canadian or British attorney.Henry Hague Davis, Toronto, '07,P.R.G.C. has for two years been amember of this select group. Thehonor was conferred upon him on theKing's birthday in 1928.Brother Davis received three degreesfrom Toronto, B.A., 1907; M.A., 1909;LL.B., 1911. His part in the life ofToronto is not at all confined to hislegal work. His club memberships includethe Royal Canadian Yacht, theUniversity, the Albany, the Granite,and the Scarborough Golf and CountryClubs. He is actively interested in thework of the Church of England inCanada, and is a lay member of theSynod of the Diocese of Toronto anda member of the Board of Trusteesand Council of WycUffe College, atheological school federated with theUniversity of Toronto. Brother Davisis a confirmed convention goer in* A 0 and represents one of thestrongest personal ties between theDominion and the States in the fraternity.He served five years on theGeneral Council.An interesting exception to Greeley'sadvice to the younger generation to goWest is to be found in Nelson T. Hartson,Washington. '12. Brother Hartsonwent from Washington to Washington—statein the West to nationalcapital in the East—to make his mark.He is a member of one of the country'sleading law firms in Washington.The World War broke into BrotherHartson's practice of the law in Seattleand he enlisted in an officers' trainingcamp. He returned in 1919, acaptain of artillery. He did not becomeone of the army of unemployed;he was at once retained as assistantcorporation counsel of Seattle. Threeyears later he resigned to become theassistant solicitor of the Bureau of InternalRevenue at Washington D.C.Six months later he was made solicitor.This office would be hard to find nowin any index as the name has sincebeen changed to that of general counselof Internal Revenue. It fell toBrother Hartson's lot during this periodto defend the Treasury Departmentfrom the aggressive attacks ofa Senatorial committee headed by theredoubtable Couzens of Michigan.This defense he conducted most successfullyand the Senate charges weredropped.Brother Hartson resigned in 1925 tobecome a partner of Frank J. Hogan,one of the capital's outstanding triallawyers. The firm name is Hogan,Donovan, Jones, Hartson and Guider.Many notable cases have been restedwith this firm, among them the defenseof Edward L. Doheny and Robert W.Stewart in the oil trials of a few yearsago. The firm is now retained by someof the largest Chicago meat packersin important anti-trust litigation.Once in a while a genius is so submergedin an antithetic element thatfull recognition of his merit is retardedor even made impossible. Hadthat not been the case, $ A © mighthave added another governor and UnitedStates Senator to her list of thosenotables. For several years during andafter the World War North Dakotawas one of a number of states in the[106]grip of the Non-Partisan League. Inthe election of 1920 the Republicansand Democrats placed an oppositionfusion ticket in the field to try tobreak the stranglehold of the League.The fusion candidate for governor was

Vol. LV, No. 2THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAJames F. T. O'Connor, North Dakota,'07, incidentally the youngest man everto be nominated for the governorshipof North Dakota. He made a drivingcampaign, delivered 151 addresses,only to be defeated, but a change ofone vote in each precinct of the statewould have elected him.He was the Democratic nominee forthe Senate in 1922, and although againendorsed by the Republicans, was defeatedby a narrow margin. For abouta decade from 1916 on, however.Brother O'Connor was the militantleader of the minority in North Dakotapolitics. His oratorical efforts andpolitical capacity went far towardcurbing the power of the strongly entrenchedLeague. While he had beenin the Yale Law School BrotherO'Connor had proved one of the mostbrilliant debaters and orators ever toattend the New Haven institution.During the past few years BrotherO'Connor has been associated withthe law firm of McAdoo, Neblett,O'Connor and Clagett in Los Angeles,California. This firm is headed byWilliam G. McAdoo, son-in-law ofPresident Wilson and a leader of theDemocratic party. Brother O'Connoris a close personal friend of McAdooand had the honor of seconding hispresidential nomination in a ringingspeech in Madison Square Garden,New York, in 1924.Out in Denver, where so many ofthe Michigan alumni reside, livesMorrison Shafroth, Michigan, '10, oneof the leading members of the Coloradobar. He inherited his aptitudefor law and politics since his fatherwas U. S. representative, twice governor,and once U. S. Senator. He himselfhas been a candidate for Coloradoattorney-general and for the U.S.Senate. Taking time out for the Waras a captain of artillery in France, hehas otherwise practiced law in Denver,with a generous amount of attentionto the interests of the Democraticparty in that state.Brother Shafroth is professor of[107]code pleading at the Westminster LawSchool and also is a lecturer at theDenver University Law School.Some modern Horatio Alger mightwrite an epic entitled "From Steerageto Statehouse" about the life of one ofthe brothers, Ragnvald Anderson Nestos.North Dakota, '04. The titlewould be apt, too, for in June, 1893,he landed at Philadelphia, a steeragepassenger from his home in Voss, Norway,and in October, 1921, he landedin the North Dakota Statehouse, thefirst governor ever elected in a recallelection in the United States.The Algeresque simile might becarried all the way through the storyof this man. When he landed inPhiladelphia he could neither speak norunderstand English. He had buteighty-five cents (plus his ticket) tocarry him on the four-day trip to hisuncle's home in North Dakota. Heentered the first grade in the NorthDakota schools at the age of sixteen.He spent several months in the Wisconsinlumber camps. He worked hisway through a normal school, supportinghimself, in a joint "baching" enterprisewith three others similarly situated,on two dollars a week. He homesteadedin North Dakota, founded anew literary society at the Universityof Wisconsin, became a state's attorneyin his own commonwealth.He, too, like Brother O'Connor,fought the Non-Partisan League, althoughfrom the fold of the Republicanparty. It was Brother O'Connor who,in the recall convention in 1921, nominatedNestos for governor. A curiousangle!—Democrat nominating Republican,but both united by the Bond oftheir college fraternity.Brother Nestos was reelected governorin the fall of 1922 by a largemajority. His avocational serviceshave been broad indeed, including thesuperintendency of one of the state'slargest Sunday Schools. Brother Nestosis now a member of the prominentlaw firm of Nestos, Herigstad, andStenersen at Minot, North Dakota.

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA November, 1930If Nelson Hartson reversed Greeley'sdictum, Wallace McCamant, Lafayette,'88, took him literally. BrotherMcCamant was admitted to the Pennsylvaniabar in 1890 and immediatelyafterward migrated to Oregon. Herehe was admitted to the law office ofone of the foremost Portland attorneys,W. B. Gilbert of Portland, with whomhe later became associated as a UnitedStates Circuit Court judge. So mostof Brother McCamant's adult life hasbeen associated with the far West.He has occupied several judicialpositions at various times and has longbeen prominently identified with thework of the Republican party. It washe who nominated Coolidge for vicepresidentin 1920. Brother McCamantwas active as a public speaker duringthe War. His most strenuous publicactivity probably, was his participationin the famous "free silver" fightof the nineties. Some extremelywealthy clients have availed themselvesof the legal talents of BrotherMcCamant, but he has also alwaysbeen available to the very poor and agreat deal of his time has been givenwithout remuneration.Brother McCamant was for fifteenterms president of the Oregon Societyof the Sons of the American Revolution.He then resigned that office toaccept the national presidency of theorganization. In the latter office hewas particularly active in working forthe removal of certain objectionablehistory texts from the schools.

After attending Northwesternhe worked for several years in theeditorial department of a New Yorknewspaper. He then purchased apaper in Portland, Michigan, and soldit in 1922. At that time he intendedto move with his family to Californiabut while visiting in Detroit was offeredby the Detroit Free Press the managementof its new radio station,WCX. He accepted and has beenbusy ever since building up an increasingfamily of nephews and nieces.His "Uncle Neal" feature came fromhis desire to originate a children'sprogram.

BrotherWilson has been one of severalnaval officers who have worked toeradicate epidemic diseases and otherbad conditions in the negro republicto the south of us. He directed hiswork particularly against the dreadeddisease known as yaws. He went outinto the mountains treating all sortsof ailments, but was interested especiallyin inoculations against this specificmalady.

Heis Dr. John Lee Coulter, North Dakota,'04, formerly president of the NorthDakota State College of Agricultureand Mechanic Arts and more recentlythe tariff commission's chief economistand chairman of its advisory committee.Brother Coulter serves as aRepublican member of the commission.The group is, as required by law, bipartisan,and will consist of threemembers of each party. Other membersannounced by Hoover in Septemberwere Henry P. Fletcher, ThomasW. Page, Edgar B. Brossard, and AlfredP. Dennis. The new commissionis expected to be much more of afactor in determining tariff rates andtendencies than has heretofore beenthe case, due to the new teeth giventhe commission's powers by the Hawley-Smootact and due further to thehigher caliber of the commission's personnel.Previously political expertshave been inclined to consider thetariff commission of little importance,largely because of a group of comparativenonentities in its membership.Evidences are not lacking, however,that President Hoover intends to makemuch more use of it. Brother Coulterhas been professor of economics andlecturer in a number of colleges anduniversities. He was in charge of thedivision of agriculture of the CensusBureau from 1912 to 1914. He wasa member of the American commissionsent to Europe to investigate ruralcredits and cooperation and duringthe War was a member of the nationalexport counsel of the War IndustriesBoard. His background and experiencehave eminently fitted him for anactive and prominent part in the workof the newly constituted commission.Among the early contributions listedby the Republican National Committeein reporting to the U. S. Senate werea gift of $5,000 from Brother andMrs. James E. Davidson, Hillsdale,'87, Bay City, Michigan, and a gift of$1,000 from Gov. Gen.

VOLUMELV rHE SCROLL ^^^^""^''°-' P H I D E L T A T H E T A '''"EditoricAnother chapter takes its place upon the rolls of Phi Delta Thetaas reported in this issue of THE SCROLL. Our congratulations and bestwishes to British Columbia Alpha at the University of British Columbia.May her career be long and honorable and may she enjoy the pleasantestof relationships with her international brothers from Washington Alphaand Beta and Oregon Alpha and Beta representatives of whom assistedat the installation.By the time this is printed the installations at Maryland and Dalhousiewill have been completed. We offer them a hearty welcome also and willpresent accounts of the ceremonies in the January SCROLL.The recent issue of the Magazine of Sigma Chi gave a most interestingaccount of the celebration last June of the seventy-fifth anniversary of thefounding of that fraternity at Old Miami. Sound pictures were takenof the event and representatives of the other two members of the Triadwere invited as special guests. The accompanying pictures, kindly loanedby the editor of the Magazine show the participation of P. G. C. Urionand Executive Secretary Priest.Whatever other attributes of greatness Sigma Chi may have there hasever been a strong spirit of sentiment permeating its activities. And whatis a college fraternity without sentiment?Although it is eighteen years away Phi Delta Theta ought to beginto plan for its centennial celebration at Old Miami in 1948. The timewill be here before we know it.One of the upsets in the recent election was the victory of the Democraticcandidate for governor in Massachusetts. It happened that hewas a brother Phi and THE SCROLL is indebted to his chapter mate,Dwight Marvin, Williams, '01, editor of the Troy, New York, Recordfor the interesting sketch which appears in this number.Because men of affairs frequently lose contact with their fraternities,the comment which Brother Marvin made in his letter accompanying thesketch is refreshing: "Joe is a tremendous fraternity man. He has givenliberally both of time and money to the chapter and has been an officialof our corporation."[171]

British Columbia AlphaUniversity of British ColumbiaBy G. SHELDON ROTHWELL,ReporterSYDNEY J. BOWMANVANCOUVER, in which the Universityof British Columbia is located,has a population of nearly 350,000.Situated on the Pacific Coast aboutthirty miles north of the internationalboundary, it possesses one of theworld's finest harbors, from which thevaried products of Western Canadaare distributed to world markets.Backed by tremendous supplies of rawmaterials and facing the great potentialmarkets of the Orient, Vancouveris destined to become one of the greatesttrade centers on the continent.The creation of a University inBritish Columbia was first advocatedin 1877, but it was not until the year1906 that some of the work normallydone by a university was started, andthis only in the high schools of Vancouverin conjunction with McGillUniversity of Montreal. In 1915, theUniversity Endowment .\ct of 1908,which incorporated the University ofBritish Columbia was taken advantageof, and the university started tofunction as such, in temporary quartersadjacent to the business sectionof Vancouver. Ten years later theuniversity was moved to its permanentcampus in Point Grey, six milesfrom the center of Vancouver, on landset aside by an act of the ProvincialLegislature in 1910.

Vol. LV, No. 3THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAland, consisting of 548 acres, is situatedat the extremity of Point Grey.The waters of the Gulf of Georgiaform more than half the boundaries ofthe university campus, while 3,000acres of government land immediatelyjoin the site and separate it from thecity of Vancouver. This tract of land,the sale and lease of which suppliesrevenue to the university, has beensubdivided, and forms one of Vancouver'smost beautiful residentialsections.The University of British Columbiais an integral part of the public educationalsystem of the province, andits function is to complete the workstarted in the public and high schools.It is the policy of the university topromote education in general, and inparticular to serve its constituency inthree channels—namely, teaching, research,and extension work.The University Act gives the universityfull power to grant such degreesin the several faculties as thegoverning senate may from time totime determine. It reserves for theuniversity the sole right in this provinceto confer degrees, and it expresslyenacts that "no other universityhaving corporate powers capableof being exercised within the provinceshall be known by the same name norshall any such university have powerto grant degrees."Fraternities have existed at the Universityof British Columbia for someyears, but did not take a very activepart in student activities until the fallof 1926, when the university was definitelyestablished on its present campus.They are recognized as lawfulstudent organizations by the facultyand senate, but are responsible onlyto the interfraternity council, composedof representatives of each ofthe fraternities and one faculty member.For the beginnings of .\ S A Fra-LIBRARV, UNIVERSITV OF BRITISH COLUMBIA[175]

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA December, 1930VIEW OF THE AGRICULTURAL, ARTS AND ADMINISTRATION BUILDINGS,UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIAternity we must go back to a littlegroup of men who in February, 1927.decided that another fraternity wasneeded on the campus. At that timethere were many men of high fraternitycaliber whom the six fraternitiescould not accommodate..An executive council was formed.The ideals of the group were embodiedin a badge and a constitution,which was adopted. By the end ofApril, 1927, the fraternity numberedthirteen. At this time it and all otherfraternities were recognized by theSenate as official organizations of theuniversity. The fraternity continuedto grow, and soon felt the need of asuitable house. While no fraternityat the present time owns its house,ASA rented a comfortable home,which we still occupy. There many* A 0-members honored us as guests.Future plans of the fraternity includea house-building scheme towardswhich a substantial fund has been established.It is very difficult to mentionany of the achievements of A S Awithout appearing egotistical, butsuffice it to say that ever since itsfoundation the group experienced phenomenalgrowth, until at the time ofits affiliation with * A 0 it was amongthe best on the campus.[176]About a year ago the idea of endeavoringto identify ourselves witha fraternity of international scopewas put before the members of A S Aby Mr. George Housser, $ A © alumnusof McGill and Cornell, and nowpracticing law in Vancouver. Mr.Housser and his many fraternitybrothers here see a promising futurein Vancouver in British Columbia, andin our university, and it was thegenerous help and enthusiasm of thesemen that inspired the members ofA S A to finally petition * A 0. Ourpetition was presented to the GeneralConvention of * A 0 at Detroit inSeptember, and our charter wasgranted by one of the most favorablevotes in the history of the fraternity.For this expression of approval andfor the fact that we are now brothersin * A 0, we are all extremely grateful.The initiation and installation ofour chapter took place on Friday andSaturday, October 31 and November 1.Mark Bradford, traveling secretary of* A 0, Charles E.

Shouse Leads Democrats to LargeGains in Recent Election/\FTER the wreck of the Democraticparty caused by the Hoover landslide,Chairman John J. Raskob of the NationalCommittee viewed the pieces anddecided that the first thing to do wasto pick the right new chairman andthen get him to take the job. Hischoice fell on Jouett Shouse, Missouri,'99, a Kansas City lawyer, and no onecan say he was not a good picker in thelight of the results of the recentnational election. It took Mr. Raskobtwo days in May, 1929, to argue himinto assuming the Herculean task ofelecting a Democratic Congress in1930. He must have argued mightilyfor he succeeded in getting BrotherShouse to take the job In spite of thefact that the income from his law practicealone was $50,000 per year. Butonce won over he lost no time ingetting under way and with the aid ofan able publicist he proceeded to makelife miserable for President Hooverand the Republican majority. CynicalTime said:''He (the publicist) and Mr. Shouselaid down during the next eighteenmonths one of the most sustained andeffective political barrages ever knownin the U. S. Steering clear of the farmissue. Prohibition and the Depression,they concentrated early on the Tariffrevision, later on Unemployment, especiallyon President Hoover's inactivityin these matters. They put pointedspeeches into the empty mouths ofDemocratic Senators. "They couchedtheir headquarters statements inlanguage so unusually quotable that thejaded press paid unusual attention."And Brother Shouse accomplishedByGEORGE BANTA, JR.,Wabash, '14this in spite of the fact that theDemocratic campaign fund was ayawning chasm and the Republicanshad $5.00 to spend for every $1.00 hecould raise. But he doled out what hehad with rare judgment particularlyto those districts where a Democraticcandidate for Congress had a chance.Commenting on Brother Shouse'sposition after election again I quoteTime:"Pregnant with great things, however,was Mr. Shouse's position, forafter Mr. Raskob's resignation—sureto come after the party's debts arecleared—the focal figure of the Democraticparty would be the man who hadlast guided it to the polls. Even asWashington was jesting last monthabout "Shouse's House" so might theysoon be talking seriously aboutShouse's choice for the White House.Before now he had been approachedfor advice by an aspirant for the Presidency—ithappened to be a Republican—and the subsequent arrival of thatgentleman at the White House was atleast in part a testimonial to theShouse sagacity. Also, it was JouettShouse, promoter, who sent the RepublicanNational Convention toKansas City two years ago. Tall, bespectacled,neatly dressed with the blueshirt, tight-pinned collar and brightnecktie of a Midwestern business andsporting man, he knows his wayaround, and is known, extremely well.His closest political crony is SenatorPat Harrison of Mississippi, one of thethree leaders of the southern wing ofthe Democracy (Senators Glass ofVirginia and Robinson of .\rkansas[ 178

Vol. Ll\ No. 3THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAJOUETT SHOUSE, Missouri, '99are the other two). His forceful,often profane pronouncements carrythe authority not only of an experiencedpolitical manager but of one whohas fully experienced public office.

JOSEPH B. ELY, Williams, '02

New Governor of" MassachusettsIs a Williams Phi(jovERNOR-ELECT Joscph B. Ely, Williams,'02, of Massachusetts is one ofthe most active Phis in New England.He comes of a Phi family, having abrother and a son who have beenmembers of Massachusetts Alpha.Those who were with him in collegeare not surprised that he has beenelected to the Governorship of hisstate. Ever since he arrived in Williamstownfrom his Westfield home inthe fall of 1898 he has been politicallyminded.Brought up in a householdwhere politics were constantly discussed—hisfather is still one of themost active Democrats in the centralsection of the Bay State—he broughtthe same instinct to college.In those days fraternity deals andpopular elections were the rule. JoeEly saw great possibilities in them.But from the very beginning he had aprofound belief in the wisdom of abetter attitude toward college honors.He thought they ought to be won. Hespoke and worked for the system ofapprenticeship in extracurriculumtasks; and now it is the rule at Williams.Joe made a strong record in college.While his watch-chain does not carrya * B K key, he led the Banjo Club fortwo years, was a class officer, managedthe track team successfully and in hissenior year was elected to the honorsociety. Gargoyle. He was on mostof the important committees and wasa popular character at all times on thecampus.Fortunately for Williams and MassachusettsAlpha his interest did notend with college days. -A^s an alumnus[181By DWIGHT MARVIN,Williams, '01he has been a constant visitor at thecollege, particularly during the lastfour years. This was accounted forby the fact that his son Richard wasa member of the class of 1930—andincidentally president of the class threeyears out of the four.From a fraternity standpointBrother Ely has always been a dominantfactor. When he became a memberof the chapter, Massachusetts••Îpha occupied a small house threequartersof a mile from the center ofthe campus. As a result the chapterlacked the standing entitled to it onaccount of the type of men who composedits membership. Brother Ely,during his junior year, was one ofseven men who contributed $100 eachto hold one of the finest properties inthe village, between the Deke andAlpha Delt houses, until the alumnicould be solicited and mortgages arrangedfor its purchase. During hissenior year he lived in the new house;and a few years later he was one ofthe group who worked out a plan underwhich a handsome building waserected. Recently he and one or twoother alumni raised an additional$25,000 to pay mortgages and makepossible the construction of a diningroom large enough for banquet purposes.Westfield is only 75 miles fromWilliamstown and weather has neverbeen too forbidding to get him in Williamstownon call to help solve chapterproblems.Upon graduation in 1902 BrotherEly entered Harvard Law School and,after passing his bar examinations in1905, immediately started the practice

Mr. Parkershortly thereafter went into bankingand Brother Ely continued the twooffices, adding to the partnership a fewyears later his younger brother, alsoa Williams Phi. He developed an earlyreputation as a trial lawyer, handlinga great many cases for the Springfieldand Berkshire Street Railroads.His growing reputation brought himimportant business connections and in1915 Governor David I. Walsh appointedhim District Attorney of theWestern District, consisting of Hampdenand Hampshire Counties. By thistime he was admittedly one of the leadingmembers of the bar in the westernpart of the state. In 1916 BrotherEly ran for District Attorney and, inthis strongly Republican district, waseasily elected, the only Democrat tocarry his section of the state. He filledthe office in a most creditable mannertrying a large number of cases, includingseven where the charge was firstdegree murder.As a lawyer Brother Ely has a statewidestanding. Three years ago hewas called to Boston to try cases forthe world-known firm of Ropes, Gray,Boyden and Perkins, although not himselfa member of the firm. He is aswell known in Boston as in Westfieldor Springfield.Joe Ely always has taken an activepart in the affairs of his city and town.Hardly a civic committee has beennamed in twenty years of which hewas not a part. For instance, he hasrecently been exceedingly active in thebuilding of a new Westfield HighSchool. Once before he was a candidatein the primaries for gubernatorialhonors but was unsuccessful. Thisyear he was not alone in the primaries;but he came through with flying colors.His election was not wholly unexpectedas general opinion seemed favorable tohim. Those who have known himfrom college days and who have seenhis activities since that period have thegreatest confidence in his integrity andhis ability to give to the state newlevels of statesmanship in the executiveoffice.On May 1, 1906, Brother Ely marriedMiss Harriet Z. Dyson, a Westfieldgirl and a graduate of Mt.Holyoke. There is one child, Richard,who, as has been stated above, was aPhi at Williams in the class of 1930.He is now attending Harvard LawSchool in anticipation of adding anotherEly to the firm of Ely and Ely.182 1

A Business AnalystWith the Department of CommerceByCLAUDE JM. MARRIOTT,Syracuse, '01W HAT are your real marketing costsper line of merchandise sold and servicerendered?Which of your lines and servicesreally pay and which do not pay?Is it profitable to cover as muchterritory as you do?Edwin B. George, Pittsburgh, '17,and retiring President of the Phi Delt.Mumni Club of Philadelphia, has beenshanghaied to Washington by theUnited States Department of Commerceto help answer these questions.If newspaper reports are to be trusted,his is one of the most fascinating jobsin the country today.Before undertaking this presentassignment of helping the Americanbusiness man get the most for hismoney and efforts. Brother George hasduring the past eight years served theDepartment of Commerce in twoother of its most important fields ofactivity. For four years he gyratedaround and about the Orient in thecapacity of American Trade Commissioner,serving successively in thePhilippine Islands, China, Dutch EastIndies, British Malaya, and BritishIndia.During the four preceding years, hehad traveled widely in Europe andSouth America in various businesscapacities. Since 1927 he has laboredin Philadelphia as District Managerof the Department of Commerce forPennsylvania, Southern New Jersey,and Delaware.Most American business men arefamiliar with the enviable name whichthe Department of Commerce has wonfor itself as a competent authority onmarketing problems. Its concern isprimarily with the individual merchant,whether manufacturer, wholesaler,or retailer, who has difficultyin determining which of his manyactivities are really profitable. It isan unfortunate fact, according to thewidely heralded opinions of economists,that this country is wastingfrom eight to ten billion dollars ayear because of unscientific ways ofmerchandising. It is to salvage atleast a ponderable share of that annualwaste that the department's[183]ED'\\IX B. GEORGE. Piltsbtirgh, '17

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA December, 1930efforts in the domestic field are exerted.While on the subject, it might aswell be explained that these effortsfollow two major lines: (1) Ofanalyzing the quality and quantity ofbuying power for different classes ofgoods in different parts of the country;and (2) of determining real costs ofhandling different lines, of travelingdifferent salesmen and of selling todifferent markets, as they are actuallyincurred and not as they are guessedto be. This means breaking downoverhead and charging to each lineand service the portion for which itis really responsible.The need for this sort of work, ofcourse, has not been newly discovered,but the methods employed by theDepartment of Commerce in meetingit have been refreshingly practical.All of the work is done in cooperationwith and at the request of thevarious trade groups affected, most ofwhom incidentally pay a good percentageof the cost incurred for theirown respective jobs. In most of theircost analysis work they use actualtest cases, completely breaking downthe business of a going concern andfinding out what part each functioncontributed to the final result and howmuch it cost. Every merchant knowsthat he is carrying some unprofitablelines and selling to some unprofitablecustomers without realizing it. As aresult they often actually lose moneyon business which had been eagerlysought and which had been thought tobe a real money-maker.It is also notorious that the averageindependent merchant has fallen considerablybehind the times in mattersof display, store arrangement, stockselection, credits, inventory, etc. Lostprofits are tied up in every one ofthese factors, and can only be realizedthrough an accurate knowledgeof what is really happening in hisstore.Brother George also performed theunique service recently of analyzingand organizing the census of distributionreturns into a story that manufacturers,wholesalers, and retailersalike could understand and apply. Hetold this story in Philadelphia, amongother places, at a joint meeting of thePoor Richard Club and the PhiladelphiaClub of Advertising Women.The Poor Richard Club is the outstandingadvertising organization inthis section. He showed how the censuscould be used as a guide to newmarkets and as a test of any merchant'soperating efficiency.The answer seems to be, if you arein marketing difficulties, ask a Phi tohelp a Phi.NEW WINTER HOME BUILT BY POWEL CROSLEY, JR., Cincinnati, '09,AT SARASOTA, FLORIDAThis beautiful house was built for the radio king in 135 working days.[184]

Due to his workin building up the Ministers' Fundsince he took the presidency, he hasbeen declared by insurance journalsto be one of the geniuses of the vocation.Dr. Allen was born in Butler, July4, 1854, a son of Richard Boyd Allenand Mary Vanderland Stoops ,'Vllen.He was graduated from Wooster Collegein 1874 and prepared for theministry at the Western TheologicalSeminary, Pittsburgh. He becameknown as a powerful preacher andmuch of his interest seemed to liein the welfare of his brother clergymen.It was logical, therefore, that heshould become president of the PresbyterianMinisters' Fund when thatposition became vacant in 1894. Atthat time the organization had' alreadya long and honorable record,having been established in 1717. Thefund began as a means of relief forministers' widows and orphans.

VOLUME LV I I 11 ^t Ixv vl I JANUARY'"'" PHI DELTA THETA ''''Editorial . .Phi Delta Theta was signally honored at the recent annual meeting ofthe Interfraternity Conference when Secretary Priest was made head ofthe newly organized Fraternity Secretaries Association. This honor cameas a recognition of the natural place which Brother Priest holds in theminds and hearts of his fellow Greek workers and is a source of pride toall Phis.The outstanding point of the last meeting of the Conference, by the way,was the announcement by Chairman Duerr of the Committee on Scholarshipthat fraternity men the country over have finally raised their scholasticmark above the general average for the first time. This is an achievementfor which much credit should be given to Mr. Duerr and his committee ofthe Conference. It is certain that we of Phi Delta Theta have beenspurred to greater scholastic efforts by the reports of Mr. Duerr's findingsand we hereby acknowledge a debt of gratitude to him.It is disconcerting, however, to learn that much of the reason for theimprovement in the scholarship of Greek-letter men is due to the recordsof the younger fraternities—those which have been founded since 1900.The fact presents a challenge to those organizations like our own whichare older. Unless the awakening is general among us our alleged proudpositions in college boy "ratings" will fall by the wayside in the years tocome.The October SCROLL printed a notice of the death of Edmond A.Crockett, Colorado College, '22.In the preparation of this notice the writer gave the impression thatBrother Crockett received magna cum laude from his high school ratherthan from Colorado College where he received his degree.We are glad to make this correction in the record.This number of THE SCROLL tells of the installation of the last twochapters chartered by the Detroit convention. Those in charge of bothinstallations were most enthusiastic in their praise of the conditions at bothMaryland and Dalhousie and it is evident that Phi Delta Theta is mostfortunate in having embraced the opportunity to enter these institutions.Dalhousie becomes the "farthest east" chapter and Maryland the firstPhi Chapter in that historic old state. May they both have a long andhonorable existence.[2351

A number ofchapters sent no report this year,which makes this job a difficult one.In all but four cases the players onthis year's teams were selected fromchapters whose reporters responded.Those four chapters are Oregon State,Utah, Ames, and Michigan. It is possiblethat deserving players have beenslighted this year because of lack ofco-operation on the part of reporters.The position that was the least indoubt this year was fullback; for theincomparable "Reb" Russell, theplunging, tackling, and passing fullbackon Northwestern's great teamwins the job without dispute. "Reb"was at his best against Notre Damewhen he carried the ball once on eightand again on seven consecutive plungesfor continuous gains of 60 and SOyards. After this game, Rockne statedthat Russell was the greatest plungerhe had ever seen. It was my pleasureto see this great back in action on[244]several occasions this year and he waswithout a peer, not alone in plungingbut in backing up the line and in forwardpassing. He made every all-American team except that of GrantlandRice, which in my humble opinionwas Brother Rice's greatest error inthis year's selection. Watch Russellnext year.

Dalhousie University andNova Scotia AlphaBy S. W. ARCHIBALDDalhousieVv ITH THE establi'shing of NovaScotia Alpha of * A ®, our fraternityis now the largest in Canada with aPhi chain stretching from the Atlanticto the Pacific across the Dominion.Down by; the sea in Canada's MaritimePrbvinc'fes there is a Universitywhich has been "the training school ofa nation" for over one hundred years,producing statesmen, business men,Ministers of the Crown, Premiers,leading physicians, Supreme CourtJudges. In fact the present Premier ofCanada, Right Honorable R. B. Bennettis a graduate of the law schoolof this time-honored institution. Irefer to Dalhousie University, foundedin 1818 by the Right HonorableGeorge Ramsay, ninth Earl of Dalhousie,"for the education of youthin the highest branches of science andliterature."It is interesting to note that thepeople of the United States paid forthe founding of Dalhousie throughmonies which were taken from them asprizes of war, for the original endowmentwas derived from funds collectedat the port of Castine, at that time apart of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,now of Maine, during its occupationin 1814 by Sir John Sherbrooke,then Lieutenant-Governor ofNova Scotia. In a letter to Lord Bathurst,dated December 14, 1817, LordDalhousie, with the unanimous consentof the Council, proposed that £9,750 ofthese funds be devoted to the "foundingof a College or Academy on thesame plan and principle as that inEdinburgh," "open to all occupationsand sects of religion, restricted to suchbranches only as are applicable to ourpresent state, and having the power toexpand with the growth and improvementof our society," and that thisCollege be established in Halifax, "theseat of the legislature, of the courts ofjustice, of the military and the mercantilesociety." On the 6th of February,1818, Lord Bathurst wrote expressingthe Prince Regent's "entireapproval of the application of thefunds in question in the foundation ofa Seminary in Halifax for the higherclasses of learning." The buildingwas begun in 1819, and on the 22nd ofMay in the year 1820 the cornerstonewas laid by the Earl of Dalhousie.On the 13th of January, 1821, an "Actto incorporate the Governors of DalhousieCollege at Halifax" becamelaw. The original board consisted ofthe Governor-General of British NorthAmerica, the Lieutenant-Governor ofNova Scotia, the Bishop, the Chief-Justice, the President of the Council,the Treasurer of the Province, theSpeaker of the House of Assembly,and the President of the College.Dalhousie of today is a universityenjoying an enviable reputation withits long established schools of law,medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, arts,science, engineering, and its recentlyacquired schools of commerce andfisheries.Rather unusual for an older institution,we find that Dalhousie has grownvery rapidly since the World War.In 1914 the whole university washoused in one large building. TodayPhi Delt officers were amazed to findthat Dalhousie boasts of two campuses,[249]

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA January, 1931SHIRREFF HALL, LADIES' RESIDENCE, DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITVone for the professional school buildingsnumbering five and a beautifulgroup of colored stone buildings on anew campus in the West of Halifaxjoined to the old campus by an avenue.On the new campus are to be founddormitories, an arts building, a sciencebuilding, a library, museum, chapel,ladies' residence, and an administrationbuilding.Fraternities are a very new departureat Dalhousie, the oldest on thecampus being 4> K II, a Canadian nationalfraternity founded in 1920. Beforethe installation of Nova ScotiaAlpha this was the only social fraternityat Dalhousie. But the Collegeby the Sea, because of the strength ofits professional schools has eight professionalfraternities including, $ A $,legal, * P S, * X and other medicalfraternities, also a commerce, engineering,and dental fraternity.The local fraternity which has justbecome Nova Scotia Alpha was firstknown as Corps Dalhousiana and hadits beginning in 1927. A group of boys[250]who went through high school togetherwere loath to break up and with theacquiring of new friends at the universitythey thought it a good idea toorganize a club so as to perpetuatetheir brotherhood. Being continuallybrought together in a room of a boardinghouse near the college where theydiscussed university affairs together itwas easy for the group to knit themselvesinto a loyal little band, makingit their ambition to bring the first internationalgeneral fraternity to theiruniversity. A constitution was drawnup, officers elected, and many meetingsand several banquets were held duringthe first year of existence of CorpsDalhousiana.The second year strengthened thegroup and they now set about seekinginformation from McGill and Torontoregarding fraternities in general and* A © in particular. The boys weretold to establish a house as soon aspossible and they immediately set aboutmaking financial arrangements to doso in the fall of 1929-30.

Vol. LV, No. 4• The present house 187 South ParkStreet, a residence facing the famousHalifax Public Gardens, was acquiredand furnished and the boys moved intoit in September, 1929. Later the groupreceived word that Professor C. W.Doten, Chairman of the Survey Commission,was coming with a Phi Deltfrom McGill to visit the group andlook into the feasibility of bringing$ A ® to the Maritime Provinces. Thevisiting party arrived about the middleof November and it was just at thesame time one year later that NovaScotia Alpha was installed.Two years of housekeeping taughtthe group many new things about themanagement of fraternity affairs; butalthough there were of course somedifficulties these were speedily overcomeand the boys deserve a great dealof praise for their creditable showingmade during their experimental daysof house management. They built upfor themselves a fine reputation on thecampus and had no difficulty in pledgingthe better material in the freshmanTHE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAclasses. The name of Corps Dalhousianawas changed to K A $ whenthe fraternity moved into their SouthPark Street residence. At the FortiethBiennial Convention K A * wasgranted a charter. Members of NovaScotia Alpha owe a great debt ofgratitude to their Canadian brothers atMcGill and Toronto for the keen interestthat they took in the Dalhousiegroup and Phi Delts at Dalhousie willalways be grateful for the supportgiven their petition by the delegatesand friendly alumni of * A 0. Anew light has been set burning in theeast—the light at Dalhousie, illuminatingits own college sphere with thehigh principles of a great fraternity.The initiation and installation ceremonieswere performed by Robert E.Haas, President of the General Counciland Arthur R.

Engineer on Boulder Damr HI Delta Theta may well be proudof another western brother who hasrecently assumed charge of one of theworld's great works—Boulder CanyonDam. The man is Walker R. Young,Idaho, '08, and the structure is to bethe highest dam ever constructed, secondin cost only to the immense projectcompleted some years ago and knownas the Panama Canal.A few words first about BoulderDam, as it is commonly known, apart of the Boulder Canyon Project,of the Bureau of Reclamation. Itwill be situated upon the ColoradoRiver, about thirty-five miles fromthe town of Las Vegas, Nevada.The dam will be 750 feet high, comparativelynarrow, as it is situated in astep-wall canyon and will form a reservoir115 miles long. The water thusstored will be used partly to generateelectrical power by means of a powerplant situated on the downstream sideof the dam and extending upon bothbanks of the river. This plant will becapable of producing a maximum of1,330,000 horsepower. The other functionof the storage water will be forthe irrigation of the arid lands ofArizona and California, mainly therich Imperial Valley in Southern Californiawhich will be reached by theAll-American Canal. This canal willbe 200 miles long and its constructioninvolves an expenditure of $38,000,000.The entire project, including dam,power plant, canal, etc. will be$165,000,000. The foregoing is a verysketchy account and is intended solelyto illustrate the tremendous importanceof the work to be done.However, Brother Young is wellqualified for the undertaking. He was[259]By EMILE N. VIDALColorado, '22WALKER R. YOUNG, Idaho, '08born at Butler, Indiana, May 7, 1885and attended common and high schoolat Duluth, Minnesota. He graduatedfrom the University of Idaho in 1908with a B.S. degree in Mining Engineering.While in the University hewas active in musical circles, playedfootball and baseball four years, wascaptain of the latter, was president ofhis class for two years and in his senioryear was President of the UniversityStudent Body.Brother Young's most important accomplishmentshave all been in theBureau of Reclamation which hejoined in 1911. The previous yearswere spent in various engineering positionsall connected with construction

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAin the West, For five years after joiningthe Bureau he was a designer onconstruction of the Arrowrock Dam inIdaho. In 1916, Brother Young transferredto the Denver Office of thebureau, the designing headquarters ofthis prominent engineering branch ofthe government and while there wasin charge of the standardization ofmechanical devices for irrigation structures.This work also included designsand estimates for storage works,dams of all types, spillways, etc.Brother Young received early experiencewith the Colorado River in1921, the start of a three year periodspent by him in investigations of thedevelopment of that stream. Fourdam sites were studied at that time andhe made an extensive report at theconclusion of the period to the ChiefJanuary, 1931Engineer of the Federal Bureau.As an engineer for the Bureau ofReclamation from 1924 to 1926, he wasin charge of investigations of the proposedbarrier in San Francisco Bay toprevent the incursion of salt water andin charge of the proposed Iron CanyonProject to irrigate a quarter of a millionacres of land in Sacramento Valley.From 1926 until the spring of1930 Brother Young was constructionengineer of the Kittitas Division of theYakima Project in Washington. InJune, 1930, he took over his new dutiesat Boulder Dam, where he will spendthe next ten years supervising thegreatest undertaking in the world.Young is also a member of theAmerican Society of Civil Engineersand of Rotary International. He ismarried and has one daughter.ARTIST'S CONCEPTION OF BOULDER CANYON DAM AND POWER PLANT£2601

Missouri Beta CelebratesFifty Years at WestminsterIN 1853 PRESBYTERIAN PIONEERS inMissouri, feeling the need of an institutionof higher learning, under theircontrol, founded Westminster Collegeat Fulton, Missouri; the new collegesucceeding Fulton College, already inexistence in that town. Counting thehistory of Westminster from thefounding of the older institution in1849, there is only one other standardcollege in Missouri, the State University,that is older. When we rememberthat Missouri was only admittedto the union in 1821 it is seen thatWestminster is very old, comparatively.In 1860 the B © n proposedto enter the college with a chapter butthe war between the states discouragedthe attempt, the Betas delaying theirformal chartering of a chapter until1867, the chapter of B 0 II then establishedenjoying a successful andcontinuous existence from that day tothis and is the oldest living chapter ofany fraternity west of the MississippiRiver.The war between the states dissipatedthe resources of Westminsterand finally the college was unable tomeet its debts, particularly a mortgageof about $15,000 on its campus andplant. The Reverend Robert Morrison,founder of * A 0 and author ofthe Bond, was called to the positionof financial agent and was given thetask of raising the money to pay themortgage indebtedness and thus tosave the college to the church.Morrison had long been away fromMiami and was then living in Fulton,and his devotion to education and tothe training of young men, made itBy W. B. WHITLOWWestminster, 'IScertain that he would become as devotedto Westminster as he was toMiami, in fact he came to regard theyounger Missouri college as his secondalma mater. He entered on his difficulttask with enthusiasm and pursuedhis work with unremitting courage.He drove a sorrel horse, hitched to abuggy, up and down the state of Missouriand slowly collected the wholesum needed, his gifts sometimes beingas small as "two bits" and once, amemorable day, fifty dollars. But hepersisted and after months of unremittingeffort secured the money andinsured the future of the college.About a year after this work wasfinished and while Morrison was yetfinancial agent of Westminster College,$ A 0 met in its annual conventionin the city of Indianapolis. Morrisonwas very anxious that a chapterof $ A 0 be chartered in the collegewhich he had saved, whose future hehad insured and which he had begunto regard as his own. Some monthsbefore certain Phis from the MissouriAlpha chapter at the University ofMissouri had visited Westminster andhad interested W. B. C. Brown in thematter of a chapter and Brown hadgathered a group of seven, includinghimself, who made the formal applicationfor the charter. The Indianapolisconvention, after some prolongeddebate, finally granted the charter onOctober 30, 1880. It is worth whileto remember that it was through thepersonal insistence of Robert Morrisonthat this charter was issued. The faiththat Morrison had in the future of thischapter has been justified by its high[261 "

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA January, 1931standing all through the years. Particularlynoticeable is the fact that thepresent form of government of thefraternity was instituted at thisIndianapolis convention and the firstPresident of the General Council everelected signed the Missouri Beta(Westminster) charter. Since thattime there have been twenty-fourPresidents of the General CouncilHistorian of the General Council,Royall H.

Bottom row: Phillips,Todd, Singleton, Coultas, Durham, Baker, sioss, Galbreath.elected and two of them, Charles F.Lamkin and Elmer C. Henderson, areMissouri Beta men, a record onlyequalled by one other chapter in thefraternity.On March 15, 1902, the MissouriBeta chapter unveiled a memorial tabletin honor of Robert Morrison in theold chapel. For the first time in $ A ©history a President of the GeneralCouncil came west of the Mississippito visit the chapters and to take a formalpart in a celebration. The thenPresident of the General Council,Hubert H. Ward, accompanied by the[262]dollars in gold, a dollar for each yearof his life.The tablet dedicated that March daytwenty years ago was of white marbleand on it was the following inscription:"In commemoration of the eightiethbirthday of the Reverend Robert Morrison,D.D., a distinguished Presbyterianminister, whose work freed thiscollege from debt, insured its futureand won for him the gratitude of allits sons. Erected in love and affectionthis 15th day of March, 1902, bythe Missouri Beta chapter of the Phi

Vol. LV, No. 4THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETADelta Theta, which fraternity hefounded at Miami University in 1848."Fifty years of honorable history;fifty years of living the ideals andtraditions taught the chapter by thefraternity's founder, have rolled away.It was most fitting and right that thechapter should stand still and recall thedays when the world was young, whenthe chapter was in its swaddlingclothes and, incidentally to replace thememorial tablet, destroyed when theold chapel burned.It was a regrettable fact that noneof the General Council could attendthe celebration. Honorable RolandBoynton, president of Mu Provincewas present during most of the celebrationand a very large number ofold men returned. The exercises beganwith the luncheon Friday, golf andvisiting occupied the afternoon; afootball "pep" meeting brought backmemories of other days to the gradsafter supper and a reception to theother fraternities and the faculty tookpart of the evening. As the hours beganto near the new day a formalchapter meeting was held and oncemore men, grey and beginning to looktoward the setting sun, renewed theiryouth around the fraternal altar.Saturday morning the formal exerciseswere held in Swope Chapel, atwhich time the replica of the Morrisontablet (although this time in bronze)was unveiled. The tablet was formallyunveiled by Elmer C. Henderson, formerPresident of the General Council,he having unveiled the original tablettwenty-eight years ago. The exerciseswere presided over by James StuartMorrison, nephew of the founder,himself a member of the Westminsterday. Speeches were made by StonerW. Yantis, one of the three livingfounders of the chapter, by T. H. VanSant, Dr. F. N. Gordon, Dr. HerbertE. Day of Rhode Island Alpha, ElmerC. Henderson, J. Stuart Morrison, W.B. Whitlow, Dr. C. A. McPheeters,and others, the toast list being closedwith addresses by the presidents of thethree Missouri chapters, WilliamRobertson of Missouri Alpha, PeytonTalbott of Missouri Beta, and CharlesF. Lamkin, Jr. of Missouri Gamma.Sunday morning the chapter and thegraduates attended the First PresbyterianChurch in a body and the pastor,Dr. E. F. Abbott preached a sermonparticularly for them. A formaldinner at the chapter house Sundaywas followed by the whole party goingto the cemetery where the funeralceremony was read over the grave ofMorrison and the oration was deliveredby Dr. Frank N. Gordon ofDwight, Illinois.Missouri Beta seems to be particularlyhappy in its relations to the nationalfraternity; and WestminsterCollege in its history and life almostparallels the activities of Morrison asthe founder of the fraternity. Westminster,if its origin be counted fromthe institution of Fulton College, isless than a year younger than the fraternity.The college itself was savedthrough the self-sacrifice and devotionof Morrison himself. The present politicalorganization of the national fraternityis coincident with the life ofthis chapter. The only memorial anywhereon earth particularly devotedto the memory of the founder of thefraternity is on the walls of the collegewhose life he saved. The homechapter. The tablet was accepted on in which Morrison died, which homebehalf of the General Council and thefraternity by Charles F.

And in theof Westminster formally accepted the college library are Morrison's books,tablet on the part of the college. A given to Westminster by Morrisondinner at the Country Club closed the himself as he felt the end approaching.263]'[

Pennsylvania Epsilon Has Beenat Dickinson for Fifty YearsWN OCTOBER 27, 1930, PennsylvaniaEpsilon completed fifty years of continuousexistence, the charter havingbeen granted by the National Conventionon October 27, 1880. Three ofthe seven founders are still living andall three have now become membersof the Golden Legion. These men—John Marvin Colaw, of Monterey,Virginia; Philip Sheridan Hills, ofWillimantic, Connecticut; and HenryWilliam Spangler, of Denver, Colorado—wereall members of the class of1882 of Dickinson College.The story of the founding of thechapter can be briefly told. C. J. Reddig,an alumnus of Pennsylvania Beta,took a special interest in the establishmentof a chapter of A © at DickinsonCollege, after his election as Presidentof the Executive Committee in1878. On February 4, 1880, with thehelp of W. N. Mateer, he initiated F.A. Bergstresser, P. S. Hills, G. E.Kleinhenn, and H. W. Spangler, all ofthe class of 1882; and H. N. Cheesmanand A. W. Weaver of the classof 1883. John M. Colaw, was initiatedApril 9 of the same year. The charterwas granted by the fall convention,held in Indianapolis.Brother Hills tells of the foundingas he remembers it: "Seven or eightstudents, myself among the number,met one evening in one of the smallrooms of East College and founded atDickinson the Pennsylvania Epsilonchapter of the * A © Fraternity.There was not much ceremony in theorganization, but there was some singingand according to the custom ofthose days, we all knelt down upon ourBy GEORGE B. ELLIOTT, Dickinson, '31Chapter President[264]knees while Brother Kleinhenn, whowas religiously inclined, offered prayerin a fervent way for the success andusefulness of the chapter. I think weeach contributed $5.00 upon the occasionand in turn received a handsomegold badge with a scroll upon it,which we wore with pride during theremainder of our college days."Brother Spangler gives the story ofthe first chapter room the fraternityoccupied: "I remember when we organizedwe were without means andwere without wealthy members, andwe rented a room north of the college,across the street, where we met timeafter time while I still remained incollege. The room was furnished witha desk, and I think a rug, and six orseven chairs.

He also has importantinterests in real estate and livestock.Brother Hills, like Brother Colaw,also chose the legal profession, butheeded the call of the West and choseKansas as the place to begin his practice.He was admitted to the bar ofCowley County, Kansas, in 1885 andat the same time became financialrepresentative of P. H. Albright andCompany. While in Winfield, Kansas,he was elected county attorney, and 'served two terms as mayor of that city.In 1909 he left Kansas and returnedeast to Willimantic, Connecticut,where he still resides.

He wasadmitted to the bar of the state ofMaryland in 1887, after which he wentto Eldorado, Kansas, and began thepractice of law. He remained therefor two years, after which he went toDenver, where he has lived ever since.Soon after reaching Denver, he enteredthe field of politics, and waselected police magistrate of the townof South Denver, a suburb of Denver,a position which he filled for twoyears. He served as attorney for thetown of Harmon for three years andfor the town of Globeville for twoyears. In 1901 he was appointedcounty attorney for the County ofArapahoe.

Phi Appointed Federal JudgeI HE city editor might summarize theevent, "Add list of federal judges."O. O. Mclntyre might say, "GlensFalls boy makes good in the city." Wein * A © can assert with pardonablepride that President Hoover has pickedanother Phi to fill a responsible placein the federal judiciary.The new appointee is Robert Porter,Patterson, Union, '12. The place hefills is that vacated by Thomas D.Thacher, the United States districtjudgeship for the southern district ofNew York.An interesting succession of appointmentsled to that of Brother Patterson.Charles E. Hughes wasappointed Chief Justice of the UnitedStates succeeding William H. Taft, deceased.Hughes' appointment necessitatedthe resignation of his son asSolicitor General of the United States.Thacher was appointed to succeedCharles E. Hughes, Jr., and the vacancythus created was filled by thechoice of Brother Patterson.The new judge has had a variedexperience. Following his graduation 'from Union he entered the HarvardLaw School. Here he became an outstandingstudent, paralleling the recordhe had made at Union where he hadbeen graduated near the top of hisclass. He was, at Harvard, editor-inchiefof the Harvard Law Review,considered the highest honor whichmay come to an undergraduate of thatschool, and was also marshal of hisclass in his third year. He receivedBy RUSSELL H.

In1917 he entered the first officers' trainingcamp at Plattsburg. He served inthe World War in the 77th Division.Since the War he has devoted his entiretime to the practice of his professionand has successfully handled manyimportant cases in both the state andfederal courts.Brother Patterson is a life trusteeof Union College. During his undergraduatedays there he was managerof the basketball team and took anotherwise prominent part in collegeactivities. He reached the rank ofmajor in the World War and was duringthat time awarded the distinguishedservice cross. He wasreferred to by the secretary of thegraduate council of Union College as"one of Union's most prominentyounger alumni."A formidable list of endorsers wasannounced by the White House asbacking the appointment of BrotherPatterson.

Phi Leaders in the Business andManufacturing World(EDITORIAL NOTE: This is a companionarticle to those in a series which has beenrun during the past few months on "PhiLeaders in the Professional World.")BUSINESS and manufacturing! Twinapostles of an industrialized age! Wecould no more go back to the quiettempo of five hundred years ago thanwe could turn back those five hundredcalendar pages themselves. Our acceleratedlife is with us and there isa constant cry for more acceleration—speed—power—growth ! The roarthat is Broadway and Forty-secondStreet or Randolph and State Streets,the crash and roll and thunder that isa Minneapolis flour mill or a Garysteel mill or a Detroit automobile factoryis today's theme song. Tomorrow? Probably an even louder andmightier reverberation. Yesterday,buggies and bicycles; today, automobilesand airplanes. "Step on the gas"is giving way to "give 'er more altitude."Nor is this a miracle. All this hasbeen wrought by the invention of alittle device here, the perfection of alittle process there, all of which havebrought greater production, easierbuying and selling, swifter communication,better transportation. Men withbrains do these things; and our Cartwrightsand McCormicks and Wattshave changed the course of human lifeas much as our Cromwells and Napoleonsand Jeffersons.These industrial giants, these kingsof business are found in all sections ofthe country. Our own fair share ofthem are Phis. It is they who are our[267]By RUSSELL H. FITZGIBBONHanover, '24business and manufacturing pacemakers,pioneers, and torchbearers.We should be proud of them.Probably the most essential occupationin the world is agriculture.

Out in St.Louis is the largest concern of its kindin the world, the Ralston Purina Mills,engaged in a feed milling business,manufacture of prepared cereal foods,flours, etc. Its founder and presentpresident is William H. Danforth,Washington (St. Louis),'92. BrotherDanforth is not only one of the outstandingmanufacturers of thecountry; he is also internationallyknown for his interest in education andleadership training for young people.Shortly after his graduation from

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA January, 1931Washington University, Brother Danforth,a far:n boy himself, who firmlybelieved that the farmers of Americacould be rendered a real service by thescientific preparation of mixed feedsfrom the best ingredients, founded thePurina Mills which, under his leadershipand limitless energy, has growninto the world's largest organization ofits sort. So devoted has Brother Danforthbeen to his ideal of youth developmentthat today his company iswidely known as "Purina University."Business as well as manufacturingtakes a part of the time of this versatileSt. Louisan. He is a director ofthe First National Bank of St. Louis,of the St. Louis Union Trust Company,of the St. Louis Joint Stock LandBank, and president of the FirstSecurity Bank of Charleston, Missouri.He served as a Y.M.C.A. director inthe 3rd Division, A. E. F., in 1918.He is a tru.stee of Berea College inKentucky, Iberia Junior College inMissouri, and his own school, WashingtonUniversity. He is a trustee ofthe Community Fund of St. Louis anda director of the St. Louis ProvidentAssociation. He has been president ofthe American Youth Foundation andalso of the Danforth Foundation whichhe sponsors. He has written a considerablenumber of books.So we may justly call Brother Danforthnot only a manufacturer of foodsbut also of character and manhood.Those who attended the Detroit conventionmust have carried away memoriesof that railroad president who socompletely fulfilled that trite but truecharacterization, "the life of theparty." He was "Bill" Bremner—successivelygeneral attorney, generalsolicitor, general counsel, president,federal manager, president, and receiverof the Minneapolis and St.Louis Railroad Company, if you wanthis official record.Brother Bremner, Iowa, '91, althoughhis parents were amply able topay for his college education, chose towork his own way through school.[268]And so he did, taking the degree ofC.E. from the University of Iowa in1891 and his LL.B. four years later.His college days were active ones too,what with playing football, managingbaseball, being in the literary societyand numerous other activities. Therailroading game seemed to have a sortof inherent attraction for BrotherBremner even before he got into itpermanently. During his earlier yearsWM. H. BRF.MNER, Iowa, '91he was both ticket agent and maintenanceengineer.However, he entered the generalpractice of law at Des Moines with abrother Phi and classmate, Robert A.Shular, Iowa, '95. He was elected citysolicitor of Des Moines in 1902 andoccupied that office for six years followingwhich he returned to privatepractice. In June, 1909, he moved toMinneapolis to begin his connectionwith the Minneapolis and St. Louis,and therewith began his steady rise tothe highest positions in the company.Brother Bremner's club connectionsare numerous. However, it takes noseventh son of a seventh son to seethat he holds * A © among his mostcherished memberships.A little less than two years ago wordcame out of Pittsburgh that AndrewWells Robertson, Allegheny, '06, hadbeen elected chairman of the board of

Vol. LV, No. 4THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAthe Westinghouse Electric and ManufacturingCompany. People began toask, "Who is this man?" He wasn'tso well known to the country at large,but Pittsburgh knew him, and the wisdomof the Westinghouse organizationin picking a new leader after two yearsof search has been amply demonstratedby the results.Brother Robertson likes work.(Most successful men do.) To illus-.VNDREW W. ROBERTSONAllegheny, '05trate: his father, a Scotch stone mason,died when Andrew was three yearsold, the ninth of ten children. Thenext few years saw him shovelingsnow in winter, cutting grass in summer,driving a physician's horse, workingin a sawmill, farming, working ona steamboat, etc. Starting high schoolat the age of eighteen, he finished thefour-year course in two. He started to.Allegheny College with $65, an amountwhich wouldn't pay a month's expensesin many a college of today.College meant more work—runninga boarding house, writing newspaperitems, operating a bathhouse, sellingaluminum ware, conducting a refreshmentstand, and so on. After teachingfor a while, he attended law school inPittsburgh. This brought an additionalvariety of work—tutoring, runninga private boys' school, etc.After a limited law experienceBrother Robertson joined the GuaranteeTitle and Trust Company of Pittsburgh,first as title officer, then as trustofficer. Shortly afterward his corporationhorizon began to enlarge whenhe went with the Philadelphia Company,large street railway, gas, andelectric utility. Here his rise wassteady and rapid, with constantly increasedresponsibilities. Early in 1929he went to Westinghouse.A brief article precludes mention toBrother Robertson's many directoratesand other business connections. Theyare among the most important in thecountry. He is trustee of two colleges,active in Boy Scout work, aleader in the Pittsburgh and U. S.Chambers of Commerce, an enthusiasticsupporter of the Red Cross, etc.,etc. A true catholicity of interests.Behind every great accomplishmentis the shadow of an individual, accordingto Will H. Hays, Wabash, '00,and certainly Brother Hays' life is ashining example of the truth of hisstatement. His public career began asa precinct committeeman in Sullivan,Indiana, the home to which he is stillso loyal. He continued on the politicalpaths up through county and statechairmanships to the chairmanship ofthe Republican national committeefrom 1918 to 1921. Harding made himhis postmaster-general and he filledthis office for a year.His humanization of the postal serviceresulted in his being offered theposition as "czar" of the motion pictureindustry, the official title beingpresident of the Motion Picture Producersand Distributors of America,the giant co-ordinating agency for thislusty infant industry. Here his salaryis twice that of the President of theUnited States. Brother Hays' workhas resulted in vastly improved publicrelations, better internal working in theindustry, improvement in technique,etc.In Brother Hays, too, we find a varietyof interests which mark the[269]

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAJanuary, 1931measure of the man. To mention afew of them, he is a director in twobanks and a railroad company, he isvice-president of the Roosevelt MemorialAssociation, a member of the nationalcouncil of the Boy Scouts, of thecitizens' committee of the SalvationArmy, of various bar and professionalassociations; he has been active in RedCross and Near East Relief work; heis a high lay official of the PresbyterianChurch. His fraternal and club connectionsare too numerous to mention.But we cannot pass without recordingthat in * A © he has servedloyally, from province president of oldEpsilon Province (Indiana) up toPresident of the General Council from1920 to 1922.Horace W. Davis, Washington andJefferson, '05, is another of the manybusiness and manufacturing executiveswho have approached such workHORACE W. DAVIS, W. Sr I. 'OSthrough the door of the law. Afterreceiving the degrees of B.S. and M.A.from Washington and Jefferson heworked his way through the GeorgeWashington University law school andthen began private practice. Afterseveral years in the law, with somepolitico-legal connections, he moved toNew York and became affiliated withthe Finance and Trading Corporation.[270]Since then his rise in the industrialworld has been rapid. He is now thepresident of the Agfa-Ansco Corporation,the world's second largest manufacturerof photographic products.To Brother Davis attaches theunique distinction of having been madea Phi sub rosa while still in prepschool. That was back in the dayswhen fraternity practices were stillmuch more informal than now, and itmay be that some of the undergraduateswill even have to resort to aLatin dictionary to find out just whatwas the manner of his being made aPhi. His list of college activities wasa formidable one, and he admits thathe had the inclination but not the materialto participate in athletics. Hemade this up, though, by his activityfrom the managerial end.Brother Davis became president ofthe Ansco Company in 1922. This wasthe oldest manufacturer of photographicproducts in the world, havingbeen founded in 1842 in the days ofthe daguerreotype. The company wasmerged with the Agfa interests in1927. Brother Davis' other businessinterests are many. He is a directorof the Peoples Trust Company ofBinghampton and the Oster ManufacturingCompany of Cleveland. He isrepresentative at large of the AtlanticStates Shippers' Advisory Board,councilor of the American ArbitrationAssociation, national councilor of theUnited States Chamber of Commerce,etc.This busy man says that one of themost enjoyable elements of a businesslife comes in the development of manpower,a thing which he finds to beconsiderably scarcer than money.Railroad men often find a unique opportunityfor altruistic service to othersin what to them is a matter ofbusiness, namely in the development ofnew areas which their railroads serve.Such has been the lot of Charles R.Capps, Roanoke, '90, the vice-president(in charge of the traffic department)of the Seaboard Air Line Railway. He

Vol. LV, No. 4THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAhas brought to the South many newindustries and has been an importantfactor in the agricultural developmentof that section of the country.Brother Capps is recognized todayas probably America's foremost railroadtraffic expert. He is a directorof the Fruit Growers' Express, theRailway Express Agency, the BaltimoreSteam Packet Company, and ofmany railroads. His chief businessconnection, though, is with the huge$300,000,000 Seaboard Air Line. Successcame to him quickly. Followingservice as a messenger, he was madegeneral freight agent of the SeaboardAir Line at the age of twenty-four,surely enough of an almost boyhoodresponsibility. He has made so particulara name for himself in the railroadworld that many times his abilityhas been recognized by other railwaysof the South through their choice ofhim as a representative of all southernCHARLES R. CAPPS, Roanoke, '90railroads on important policy-determiningcommittees.A great tribute to a great trafficexecutive came to Brother Capps duringthe World War. He was firstmade traffic assistant to the regionaldirector of railroads for the southernregion in the reorganization of thecountry's roads under governmentalcontrol. Broadly speaking, his dutieswere to co-ordinate from a trafficstandpoint the railroad facilities of theSouth and to keep the traffic moving, nomean job in those demoralized years.Later the government created the"Allegheny Region," chiefly Pennsylvania,northern West Virginia, andparts of ^laryland and New Jersey.The region contained the immenselyimportant B. & O. and Pennsylvanialines. Brother Capps then becametraffic assistant for this region. Followingthe War he returned to theSeaboard where he has virtuallycreated their effective traffic organization.Railroads to Rhodesia copper minesis a long jump but it has been madeby Walter S. Case, Williams, '06. Forhis investment company, the greatCase, Pomeroy and Company, has purchaseda controlling interest in theSouthern Railway and also has had aconsiderable share in financing and developinga section in southern Africawhich ultimately will be one of thegreat copper producing sections.It might have been a prophetic displayof spurs which led Brother Caseto a victory in a hotly contested 'footballmanagership election back duringhis undergraduate days at Williams.At any rate, his whole business lifehas been characterized by a carefulstudy of the problem before him, andthen an attack upon it with all hisvigor and astuteness. Soon after leavingcollege Brother Case became abond salesman and in 1910 moved toLondon as European representative ofLadenburg, Thalmann and Company.In England Brother Case made acareful study of the theory and managementof British investment trusts.When he returned to the States hefounded his own company, the abovementionedCase, Pomeroy and Company,an investment concern patternedafter the British plan but augmentedwith a specialized investigatingorganization working along originallines.Through his close association with[ 271]

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAleading British financiers, BrotherCase has taken an active interest inthe development of foreign countries.Business opportunities abroad are constantlybeing studied by his fact-findingorganization. He has a clear viewof that world-wide economic organizationwhich is so surely a trend of theyears immediately to come.Leaders are legion. There is RoyD. Chapin, Michigan, '03, chairman ofthe board of the Hudson Motor CarCompany, one of the world's greatleaders in the automotive industry;there is John J. Burchenal, Virginia,'78, vice-president and general managerof the Procter and Gamble Company.Another is Malvern C. Patter-January, 1931son, Virginia, '85, president of thePatterson Tobacco Company and vicepresidentof the American TobaccoCompany. The vice-president andsecretary of the Atlantic and PacificTea Company is Elmer L. Reynolds,Lafayette, '13. * A 0's own James E.Davidson, Hillsdale, '87, Bay Cityshipbuilder and banker, is vice-presidentof the American ShipbuildingCompany. Raymond D. Starbuck,Cornell, '00, is vice-president and adirector of the New York Central Railroad.Guy H. .\bbott, Dartmouth,'02, is president of the Ditto DuplicatingManufacturing Company. F.

Taylor, Washington andLee, '93, for years a prominent citizenof southern Arizona, was elected PimaCounty assessor. Thomas D. Tway,Ohio, '19, was elected representative tothe Arizona legislature. Brother Twayhas been a resident of Arizona for thepast several years, coming here fromOklahoma. In a comparatively shortperiod of time he has established awide acquaintance throughout thestate.The third Phi who was elected tooffice in Pima County was none otherthan William M. Pryce, Sr., who inmany ways might be called the fatherof 3> A 0 in .Arizona. Brother Pryce[272]By LAWSON SMITHArizona, '28Was elected to the board of supervisors.His chapter is Nebraska, but he haslong been a respected citizen of .-Vrizona.He has been one of the mostactive Phis in the state, being chapteradviser for Arizona Alpha. He wasan ardent worker for the establishmentof a chapter of his beloved fraternityin Arizona, and since the charter wasgranted he has worked even harder inaiding the substantial and soundgrowth which A 0 has enjoyed inArizona.In a state so far removed from thesection where $ A 0 began its growth,Phis here in Arizona feel that the electionof these three deserving brothersis an accomplishment of which we canall be proud.Some of you would probably like toknow just what political parties thesethree brothers are affiliated with, butthat doesn't really matter.

Denison Tries ExperimentOOMETHING NEW Under the fraternitysun is under trial by Ohio Iota atDenison. Something which, we think,is pretty good evidence that fraternitiesfill a definite niche in the collegiateworld. It all started about Eastertime of last year. And this is how—Robert ("Whitey") Bliss had noticedeight-year-old William Hammondwandering about the streets ofGranville, poorly clad and undernourished.He was attracted by theboy's winning smile and after talkingto the lad several times invited him tothe chapter house for dinner. The boywas promptly nicknamed "Oscar," and"Oscar" he is to this day. The chapterasked Oscar to have his Easterdinner at the house but Oscar regretfullydeclined because, as he said, allthe other boys would be dressed up thatday and he didn't have any niceclothes.That decided Ohio Iota and BrotherBliss took the lad to Newark for acomplete new outfit of clothing.Easter morning saw him at the PhiDelt house with his new suit and aPhikeia button in his coat lapel, thetopic of conversation for the chapter.Step number two came when the chapterthe following week asked Oscar'smother if she would consent to lettinghim live at the chapter house. NowOscar is one of eleven children; hisfather and mother are separated, andhis mother realized quite well that shewas not in a position to give him adequatecare. She was delighted withthe plan and readily consented. Oscarmoved in and soon became one of thebest known Phis on the Denisoncampus.He roomed with Brothers Bliss andJack McConnell, president of the[273By RUSSELL H.

Phis of PhiladelphiaBy RUSSELL H. FITZGIBBONHanover '24PHILADELPHIA IThe name, like those of other cities,brings up its word pictures, thethoughts that this city of brotherlylove suggests.There is the Liberty Bell, and theAthletics, and Independence Hall, andthe Saturday Evening Post,—and analumni club that is most certainly onthe up and up.If William Penn had come over acouple of centuries or so later, andfound the city full fledged already, hemost certainly would have become aPhiladelphia Phi. The alliteration itselfis almost an omen. For it seemsthat practically all of the First Citizensmust be wearers of the Sword andShield. For example—The three Hardt brothers. Allfrom the University of Pennsylvania,they are Frank M., '01, Walter K.,'05, and J. William, '06. It seems thatthey have taken to banking asnaturally—and efficiently—as CorneliusMcGillicuddy has to the sport ofswat. There are innumerable otherfacts of interest we might mention—but there are other Philadelphia Phis,and we must be brief. Frank waschairman of the Merion Cricket Clubcommittee which arranged for the recentnational amateur golf championships,attended by one Robert TyreJones and others. Walter, the presidentof the Integrity Trust Company,is also the chairman of group one ofthe Pennsylvania Bankers' Association,director of the Philadelphia CreditMen's Association, etc., William isvice-president of the Philadelphia NationalBank, the largest bank in Pennsylvania.Another Quaker City banker of importanceis James Clarke Moore, Jr.,Pennsylvania, '93. Brother Moore's[274]name was more familiar to the fraternityat large a generation ago, perhaps,than now; from 1898 to 190O hewas President of the General Council.His interest in ^ A © has always beenkeen. He is a prominent broker ofPhiladelphia and a member of theboard of managers of the New YorkStock Exchange.To mention a prominent businessman or two or three, there is EdgarC. Bisbee, Minnesota, '94, and hisbrother, Arthur L. Bisbee, Minnesota,'99, both of the Bisbee Linseed OilCompany. Another outstanding businessleader is William R. Main, Allegheny,'07, vice-president and managerof the Philadelphia office of Main andCompany, auditors and accountants.Still another is Craig Atmore, Pennsylvania,'95, president of Atmore andSon, manufacturers of the world-famousAtmore's mince meat. Yet again,we have Hollis Wolstenholme, Pennsylvania,'09, one of the most activePhis in the city, the president of AlfredWolstenholme and Son, worstedyarn spinners.There are several Philadelphialawyers who have gained a considerabledegree of prominence. Typicalof them is Harold B. Beitler, Pennsylvania,'01. Brother Beitler is adirector and former secretary of theUnion League, secretary of the PennsylvaniaBar Association chairman ofthe committee of the Law Associationof Philadelphia in cooperation withthe American Bar Association, and amember of the reception committee ofthe American Bar Association to welcomeprominent European lawyers onvisits to the United States.Philadelphia is the center of a greatdeal of church activity; hence we mayexpect to find our share of church

Elliott, Colgate, '16, is thedirector of social education of theAmerican Baptist Publication Society.Brother Elliott is a former presidentof the old Alpha South Province.Another religious leader is Perry S.Allen, Wooster, '74, president of thePresbyterian Ministers' Fund.Among the doctors, perhaps McCluney Radcliffe, Lafayette, '77—Pennsylvania, '82, a leading oculist, isas well known as any. BrotherRadcliffe's record, both professionallyand fraternally, as reported in a recentSCROLL, has been both long and honorable.Another of the leaders of themedical profession is Charles A.

Brother Pritchardwas for seventeen years directorof the chest department of the BattleCreek Sanitarium and is an internationallyknown specialist on pulmonarydiseases. He will continue his relationswith the sanitarium as a consultant.The new Foundation is establishedfor the rehabilitation of underprivilegedchildren and virtually unlimitedmoney is assured for its work when theneed becomes evident. The Foundationwill not limit its activities toMichigan but as its program is workedout aid will be extended wherever theneed becomes apparent and the necessaryarrangements can be made.Brother Pritchard has during amedical career of twenty-five years alwaysbeen associated with publichealth work.

Gilbert, widely syndicatedWashington political correspondent,gave a discriminating interpreta[277]tion recently in his column of theposition of Jouett Shouse, Missouri,'99, in the Democratic party organization.Brother Shouse is the chairmanof the executive committee of theDemocratic national committee. Inpart Mr. Gilbert said: "It is seldomthat a man comes out of the managementof a political campaign with anincreased reputation. Even the winningof an election often does the campaignmanager's fame no good. It isusually thought he won in spite ofhimselfSo one has to setdown Jouett Shouse, who managed therecent successful congressional campaignfor the Democratic party, as anexception to the fate that usually overtakescampaign managers. Mr.Shouse, previously an assistant secretaryof the treasury and known out inthe Southwest as an able lawyer,emerges from the recent contest with anational reputation"The shaping of issues, the furnishingof ideas for his party in the campaigncame largely from Mr. Shouse.He had the boldness to point out whichway his party should go in the sessionof Congress out of which the issues ofthe campaign grew. And he thoughtless about what would be "slick"things for his party to do than whatwould be consistent and sound thingsfor it to do. The declaration after theelection was over that the Democratswould not follow obstructive tacticswas on the plane of higher politics"I have seen a good deal of himsince he became executive chairman ofthe Democratic national committee andnever saw him flustered or worriedabout the course he should pursue. Healways had the capacity to make decisionsquickly and stick to them. Heseemed to me very nearly the idealcampaign manager. The Republicansadvertised him by trying to make anissue of the sharp criticism of the administrationthat came from his office.Their doing so was really a tributeto his effectiveness."

VOLUME LV | | 1 [- ^ ^^ |^ K ) |_ |_ FEBRUARYTHE SCROLL"""' PHI DELTA THETA ""Editorial . . .This number of THE SCROLL is very much reduced in size because ofthe necessity of remaining within the budget for this college year. Thestories about the five installations of new chapters coupled with an unusuallylarge amount of fine material caused two of the previous numbersthis year to run to a much greater size than is contemplated in our financialset-up.It will be noted that the Chapter News in Brief has been omitted fromthis number and it is planned to run the April number also without thisfeature. The March and May numbers, however, will be complete inevery detail.THE SCROLL thanks the active chapter reporters for their co-operationin helping to work out of our present situation. It is not an easy nor apleasant thing to have to condense a publication arbitrarily.Phi Delta Theta sustained a most severe loss when the library of the lateWalter B. Palmer was destroyed with the burning of the Georgia BetaChapter house at Emory. This valuable collection of fraternity literaturehad been willed to his chapter by Brother Palmer at his death.A cruel object lesson to us all projects itself into this picture. Nothingof lasting historical or sentimental value which cannot be replaced oughtto be left outside a fireproof building and much of it should be lodged in avault. If active chapters or individual members of the fraternity havevaluable material without the proper place to keep it, it should be sentto General Headquarters where ample facilities have been provided forthat purpose.Original charters should be reproduced by the photostatic process andthe original placed in fire-proof vaults. Each chapter should provide itselfwith a safe of a fire-proof type and keep its minutes, Bond, and otherrecords safe at all times. I well remember that when I first entered myactive chapter as a freshman, I found a minute book dating back to theearly fifties on the floor of a closet where it had been reposing for sometime.Two Rhodes Scholars again for Phi Delta Theta! Because the candidatesfor this honor must measure up in every way to the standards whichcollege fraternities are trying to maintain, there is a particular satisfactionto us in having such a high percentage of the total number of RhodesScholars over a period of years.[331]

Dickinson Phi Writes ofPhi Delta Theta Expedition //OB 'F INTEREST TO ScROLL readerseverywhere will be the book Roads toRoam, recently published by the PennPublishing Company of Philadelphia,and written by Hoffman Birney, Dickinson,'12. Deviating somewhat fromhis usual line of writing, the Phi authortakes his readers with him on asummer's outing in 1928 through severalwestern states.The travelogue is said by many to bethe best book Brother Birney has yetwritten, exceeding even his Vigilantes,which gained him so much popularity.Not only because the author himselfis a Phi, but because he tells very intimatelyof two other brothers whoaccompanied him on his trip, will thisvolume be of especial interest to thefraternity. Then laying aside thesetwo items, the book is one which anyonewould enjoy, since it is intenselyinteresting from "cover to cover."The charm of the volume lies in thefact that is was never written for publication.In the words of the editor,"It was originally prepared by Mr.Birney simply as a running narrativeto accompany several hundred photographsin the course of the trip. Underthe title 'Visible Forms,' it was circulatedamong a dozen of his friends,and it was in this very intimacy thattile chief charm of the book lay forthose whom it reached."One rides with the author from hishome in Tucson, Arizona, to the GrandCanyon, the Mojave Desert, Yosemite,through the Sierras and across Nevadainto Idaho and Montana; then returnsvia the Colorado Rockies, the NavajoReservation, and Rainbow Bridge.[333]By LAWSON SMITHArizona, '27It is on the last leg of the journey\\hich takes one to the famous RainbowBridge in Utah that Brother Birneyis accompanied by Sidney Stallings,Arizona, '29, and Ventress Wade,Arizona, '25. And it is this part of thetrip which Brother Birney suggestsshould have been called the "Phi DeltaTheta Expedition."Nothing of interest is overlooked bythe author. Sprinkled throughout thevolume are actual photographs takenby Brother Birney along the trip, andthey add greatly to the book. Two ofthese fine photographs were secured toaccompany this story in THE SCROLL,and from them one can gather someidea of the magnificence of the countrythe "Phi Delta Theta Expedition"traveled through.Brother Birney just recently returnedto his home in Tucson, after anabsence of about a year during whichtime he became the husband of a verycharming girl from Cleveland. Mr.and Mrs. Birney make their home atthe author's nest which he chooses tocall "Casa Descanso" (House of Rest).If any Phi is desirous of seeing allthat is to be seen in these \\'esternStates of ours, the writer would suggesthe communicate with BrotherBirney, and hire him as a guide. Noonecould do a better job of showinga newcomer the country.But to those who are unable to leavehome at this time on such a trip, securea copy of Road.^ to Roam, and whenyou have read it you will feel as ifyou have just returned from an extensivesummer's travel through theland of desert, cactus, and mountains.

Two More Phi Rhodes Scholars . .Swarthmore Chapter Scores AgainByGEORGE BANTA, JR.Wabash,'14/VIAINTAINING its enviable record ofat least two Rhodes Scholars each year$ A © makes another record by havingone of its chapters contribute two mento the American contingent at Oxfordin successive years. When it is rememberedthat there are but thirty-twomen from the entire country selectedannually it will be seen how splendidthis showing really is.After the recent selections were announcedfor 1931, it was found thatWill T. Jones, Swarthmore, '31, wouldjoin his chapter mate Wm. Poole,Swarthmore, '30, when he goes abroadthis fall. Thus Pennsylvania Kappamakes a most unusual record and onewhich will stand for some time to come.Brother Poole represents Delawareand Brother Jones, Mississippi. Theformer, by the way, is attending BrasenoseCollege, Oxford, and is makingquite a name for himself as a trackstar, and particularly in the 100-yarddash.From the far west will come JosephC. Hickingbotham, California, '31, asa representative of the Golden State.Not so many years ago Jack Merrillfrom this same chapter was sent byCalifornia and he did his work withcredit at Christ Church, Oxford.WILL T. JONESSwarthmore, '31[334]Ifîlt T. Jones, Swarthmore,With a brilliant scholastic record,Will T. Jones, Swarthmore, '31, ofNatchez, Mississippi, was chosen fromhis home state as the 1931 RhodesScholar.Brother Jones, who is in his senioryear at Swarthmore, has done honorwork in English literature, philosophy,and fine arts and he will probablyspecialize in these same subjects atOxford.In extracurricular activities BrotherJones has been mainly interested inliterature and dramatics, havingwritten articles for the Manuscript,Swarthmore literary magazine, andappeared in recent plays. He was oneof the organizers of the ContemporaryLiterature Club. Along with thesehonors he has been one of the best likedmen in college.'ilE. SIDNEY BAKER, Reporter

Vol. LV, No. 5THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAJoseph Cameron Hickingbotham,California, 'ilProbably one of the outstandingevents which occurred in our chapterduring the holiday season was the appointmentof Joseph Cameron Hickingbothamto Oxford as a RhodesScholar. As we all know, this honor isonly conferred on a man who has hadthe highest of standings, during hiscollegiate career, in both academic andextracurricular activities.Joe's university record is one whichovershadows that of members of CaliforniaAlpha for many years. As afreshman, Joe made himself known byhis football ability. He won his numeralsafter proving himself to be amost needed asset for fullback. Beingactive in his class, Joe made himselfknown to his fellow students, andserved his class on various committees.At the beginning of his sophomoreyear Joe served on the Vigilante Committee,a group of men who haveearned their numerals in athletics, andwhose duty it is to supervise hazingand orienting incoming freshmen. Infootball he took his place on the thirdstringvarsity squad along with othermembers of his freshman team.Joe's junior year brought him manyhigh honors. He was first elected toWinged Helmet, junior men's honorsociety. Shortly after this and a veryfew weeks after the fall semester hadstarted, it was learned that Joe hadbeen elected to $ B K, national honoraryscholastic fraternity. When thefootball season came to a close, Joewas awarded a block "C" which wasclosely followed by his election to theBig "C" Society, men's honorary athleticsociety. Joe's junior year wasclimaxed by his election to Beta Beta,senior men's honorary society.During his senior year, Joe has attainedseveral of the highest honorspossible at the University of California.He was elected to GoldenBear, senior men's honorary activitysociety. His performance during thisyear's football season was of sterling[3.-iSJOSEPH C. HICKINGBOTHAMCalifornia, '31quality, and he again won a letter.Several months ago he was elected toSkull and Keys, renowned senior men'shonorary social fraternity of the Universityof California. Joe has beenserving the university in two positionsof high importance. He is a memberof the executive committee, the studentgoverning body, and is chairman ofthe athletic council. In these last twocapacities he will continue to servethroughout the rest of his senior year.With the resignation of the head footballcoach at the close of this season,Joe was appointed a member of a committeefor the selection of a new coach.This is noteworthy because of the factthat he was the only university studenton the committee. This work wasof great importance to the studentsand alumni of the university.Now Joe has received another honor,a truly great one. Just prior to theclose of the fall semester he waschosen to represent the university inthe State Rhodes scholarship elimina-

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA February, 1931tion. When the results were disclosedJoe found himself one of two representativesof the state of California inthe Western Division eliminations. Hewas again successful and is now oneof 32 Rhodes Scholars to represent theUnited States at Oxford for the ensuingtwo years.While he plans to study law, he willnot confine himself to that alone butwill travel extensively during his summerand midwinter vacations.Somehow I feel that this lastachievement of Joe's does not mark theend of his university career. Joe stillhas one more semester at the Universityof California, and I am sure thatwe will hear more of him.Allow me to say a few words as toJoe in California Alpha. Above allhe is a leader, and his judgment ishighly respected by the active chapterand alumni of his acquaintance. Hehas served the chapter in various capacitiesand in a most reliable manner.He is a true friend to all, and is popularnot only within the chapter butoutside of its realm as well. Thewhole chapter admires and respectsJoe and will mourn his departure fromits active ranks at the close of thissemester. Suffice to say that CaliforniaAlpha is mighty proud and honoredto have had one such as he with us andfor us during the past four years.DON WEST, ReporterPhi Relatives of New Governor of MassachusettsCHARLES F.

Emory hiouse Burns WithValuable Palmer LibraryBy HENRY L. BOWDENEmory, '32/\ MYSTERIOUS fire of unknown origincompletely destroyed the Georgia Betachapter house at Emory University onthe night of January 12, and with thehouse was burned the Walter B, PalmerMemorial Library which had beenthe property of the chapter since thepassing of the great Phi and GeorgiaBeta alumnus some twelve years ago.Included in the library was a completefile of SCROLLS since the firstedition prior to the Civil War, a setof books on fraternal matters in general,and a number of copies of theCampus, the annual yearbook at EmoryUniversity. The complete library wasvalued at $3,000, but it was worth aninestimable amount to the chapter and4> A 0 in general due to the rarity ofsome of the volumes. Not a singlebook was saved.No one but the negro janitor was inthe house at the time the blaze wasdiscovered, and he was able to gainsafety before the flames made muchheadway. The fact that the house waslocated out of the city limits of Atlantaand there were no fireplugs near athand made assistance from the firedepartments out of the question, althoughthree or four answered thecall.Thomas Callaway, Eugene Palmer,Morgan Thomas, Emory Williams,HOrSE OF GEORGIA BETA, EMORY UNIVERSITY, WHICH WAS RECENTLY' BURNED[337]

THESCROLLPHI DELTA THETALeonard Bowen, and Edward CooperSmith were living in the house, andevery bit of their clothing and belongings,valued at a total of over$3,000, was destroyed. The otherchapters on the campus were extremelyhospitable to the brothers andtook care of them until we could rentanother house.The house was constructed in 1922,and was valued at $15,000, and it waslocated on North Clifton Road.Prominent alumni of the chapterhave already organized, and an activeFebruary, 1931campaign is under way for the raisingof sufficient funds for the early constructionof a $30,000 home on thenew fraternity row established by theuniversity. It is hoped that the housewill be completed for the opening ofcollege in the fall of 1932. Amongthe alumni actively engaged in theraising of the funds are W. A. Speer,H. Y. McCord, Ward Wight, Dr.Arthur G. Fort, Dr. Ben Carter, JoelHunter, Dr. Grady Clay, Henry Miller,Norman C. Miller, Joe Clark, andFrank Wright.Ohio Zeta Pioneers ByAdopting the Preceptor SystemBy CARL SCHWENKMEYERPresident, Ohio StateWHio ZETA has taken what it believesto be a step toward bettering thescholarship of the chapter in adoptingthe Preceptor System. The purpose ofthe system is to have a graduate student,who is well versed in the elementarysubjects, to act in the capacityof a tutor and to help the boys withtheir studies. He is to live in the houseand receive his room and board asremuneration. The ones to receive thegreatest benefit will be the freshmen,who have not yet acquired the rightstudy habits. The preceptor will alsoact as an adviser in other matters.Brother Richard Clark, '30, a graduatestudent in foreign language, hasbeen chosen for the position. Clarkis very capable and the chapter feelsthat he wiU make a success ol the plan.By choosing a graduate student, wellversed in university matters, the fra-ternity feels it will have a man whowill be able to establish better relationsbetween the faculty and administrationand the fraternity. By interviewingfaculty members and officials the preceptorwill become acquainted with theviewpoint of those individuals, will beable to discover such difficulties as existbetween instructor and student, andwill demonstrate the fact that the fraternityis eager to co-operate with theuniversity.This is the first plan of this kind tobe adopted at Ohio State Universityand since its adoption by Ohio Zeta,two prominent fraternities on thecampus have adopted similar systems.Although it is now in the experimentalstage, the chapter feels itis doing much toward bettering itsscholarship and relations with the universityby taking this step.[338]

Speaking of College Trustees(EDITORIAL NOTE: This article was intendedfor publication during 1929-30 butthe several months required for its preparationhave precluded earlier publication.It was suggested by Reuben C.Ball, Colorado, '23, and most of thespring and summer were used in completingthe data for the article. Thismakes it almost a certainty that thereare errors in it, since annual elections ofcollege trustees ordinarily come in June.For any mistakes or omissions we apologize: they are, of course, unintentional.If they are here they are due to thetime required for preparation, the varietyof sources approached, the number ofexpedients used. Some day some onewill send out a request for information toa hundred people. They will all replyin full by return mail. That same day theAngel Gabriel will undoubtedly blow along, loud blast of his horn. The millenniumwill have arrived.—R. H. F.)boME MONTHS AGO that trenchantHoosier writer, George Ade, in anarticle written for College Humor andquoted in the Magazine of Sigma Chi,had some caustic remarks to makeabout that individual known as thecollege trustee. It is more than aneven bet, though, that he did not meanthem, because of his own close relationswith his alma mater, Purdue University.Regardless of that, it mustbe admitted that the college trusteeoccupies an integral and importantpart in our system of higher education,be it private or tax-supported.Almost the only uniform-thing aboutthe organization of our higher institutionsof learning, one finds on lookinginto it, is the lack of uniformity.It might seem on first thought that acollege trustee is a college trustee, butsometimes they are regents, sometimesdirectors, governors, overseers, andwhat have you? It might seem that[3391By RUSSELL H. FITZGIBBONHanover, '24every college should have a president,but sometimes they have chancellors,and sometimes rectors, sometimes bothchancellors and presidents.Consequently it is rather difficult tomake a catalog of all the Phis on thegoverning boards of those institutionswhere we have chapters. A survey ofsuch boards of the (then) ninety-sevencolleges and universities in which wehave placed chapters revealed, however,the interestingly large total of165 members of the fraternity in suchconnections. Forty-one of these institutionshad no Phis on their governingboards. Hence, the 165 of them wereto be found on the boards of fifty-sixschools, an average of almost exactlythree Phis to the board.The forty-one schools without suchPhi membership were: Arizona, Stanford,Colorado, Colorado College,Colorado Agricultural College, Florida,Idaho, Northwestern, Purdue,Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, KansasAgricultural College, Tulane, Williams,Amherst, Michigan, Minnesota,Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,Dartmouth, Cornell, Duke,North Dakota, Ohio State, Cincinnati,Denison, Oklahoma, Toronto, Oregon,Oregon State, Lehigh, Swarthmore,McGill, South Dakota, Texas, Utah,Washington and Lee, and Washington.Of these forty-one, eight are institutionsin which the 4 A 0 chapters havebeen chartered since the Birminghamconvention of 1914; Duke might wellbe added to the eight, since there werebut a quarter of a hundred initiatesthere in the classes of 1878 to 1883inclusive and no more until the classof 1921.It is very much the rule that Phisserve their alma maters, rather than

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAFebruary, 1931other schools, as trustees, and so itscarcely can be expected that thesenine schools, which in reality havebeen producing Phi graduates fortwelve years or less, would have manyPhis on their boards. Of the remainingones, probably two dozen are taxsupportedinstitutions which quite generallyhave much smaller boards thanthe private colleges. So much for theforty-one Phi-less boards. It is to beanticipated that in time those collegesand universities with young 4 A ©chapters will undoubtedly draw upontheir alumni for similar services.Of the fifty-six institutions in whichmembers of the fraternity were at thetime of the survey serving on theboards, the number ran from one—on each of twenty-three boards—toeleven each on the boards of Vanderbiltand Sewanee. All honor to theState of Tennessee!Were there to be an "honor roll"of those institutions which have calledsix or more Phis to such service, itwould be composed as follows: Hanover,7; Iowa Wesleyan, 6; Ohio Wesleyan,9; Lafayette, 6; Allegheny, 9;Vanderbih, 11; Sewanee, 11; Southwestern,6. The State of Pennsylvaniahas twenty-six Phi trustees distributedamong eight schools; Indianaclaims twenty-four trustees on sixboards; Tennessee has placed twentytwotrustees on its two boards; andOhio has honored seventeen Phis withmembership on five boards.Incomplete evidence indicated thatin numerous cases members of the fraternityare serving as presidents oftheir boards. For instance, at a recentdate, of the six Indiana college boardshaving Phi members four were headedby Phi board presidents. There aremany records of long service in office,although complete data could not beobtained on that point. For instanceagain, the five Phis now on the Franklinboard of trustees have a combinedtotal service of eighty-nine years; theseven Phis on the Hanover board havea total service of 122 years.

It is very easy to understandhow in those exciting moments thebrother to whom I told the little storyof the effort to enter Dalhousie fiftythreeyears ago could forget actuallywhat I had related, and I give the brieffacts here merely to perpetuate the absolutelycorrect story of the instance.Along just before, or just after theyear 1880, there came to Franklin College,which is the home of IndianaDelta, a student who had come fromthe halls of Dalhousie College to completehis work in the Baptist college inIndiana. This man was Enoch HantsSweet and he was not a professor butan undergraduate student. The chapterat Franklin found him so desirablea man that he was almost immediatelysolicited to become a Phi, and waspromptly initiated.This was at the time when we wereso greatly in need of new chapters,as has been related over and overagain, and learning that he was fromDalhousie I at once approached himupon the subject and sought informationfrom him as to whether theremight not be a possibility of our enteringCanada by the way of Dalhousie.Brother Sweet was entirely sympatheticand at once opened correspondencewith his friends at Halifax, but inthe end found it impossible to interestthe Nova Scotians, the idea beingpractically an entirely new thing tothem and they not understanding whatit all meant. So the effort died aborning.Brother Sweet graduated atFranklin in 1883 and in due time becamea clergyman, going to the PacificCoast where he located. He diedat Fullerton, California, in 1905.[342]

Al umniL. D. Wharton, Jr., Davidson, '27,is the second son of Dr. and Mrs. L.D. Wharton of Smithfield, NorthCarolina. Brother Wharton's fatheris a member of S A E, Davidson, '91,and one of Don's brothers is a Phi,Watson Wharton, Davidson, ex-'31.While a student at Davidson CollegeBrother Wharton was very active onthe campus. He was a member ofseveral honorary fraternities, amongwhich were OAK (leadership), 2 Y(literary), A II K (journalistic), andwas editor in chief of the 1927 yearbookwhich won a loving cup for itsexcellence. He was one of the mostactive members in securing a chapterof * A 0 at Davidson College.Immediately upon graduation fromDavidson he associated with theGreensboro Daily News as a reporter.His work here was routine and fifteenmonths later, in September, 1928, heentered Harvard to do some graduatestudying. While at Harvard he keptin touch with the journalistic worldby contributing articles to the Bostonpapers.In June, 1929, he began his work asa reporter with the iVew York Herald-Tribune. Soon after beginning he wassent to Gastonia and Charlotte, NorthCarolina, to cover the Aderholt trialfor that paper. Brother Wharton didnot confine all his work to the reportorialduties, but in his spare time wrotearticles for the .Vew York Herald-Tribune Magazine and for the Outlook.Don remained with the Herald-Tribune for sixteen months when hereceived an offer from the Outlook andIndependent.In October of last year lie beganwork as an associate editor of theOutlook and Independent and is nowworking in that capacity.Brother Wharton was married November1, 1930, at Greensboro, North[343]L.

Brother Hare is the chairmanof the faculty athletic committeeat the .Auburn school. He has been anardent follower of athletics in theSouth for over forty years. An AssociatedPress dispatch had this to sayin part about the new president:"Kindly and understanding of youth.Dr. Hare, throughout his forty yearsas a member of the faculty in thechemistry department, which he nowheads, has been popular with the students.Always with the best interestsof athletic competition at heart, hehas worked with students and facultyto promote keen, hard competition."GEORGE MASTERS, Montana, '22tributed to numerous newspapers andmagazines.Brother Ramsey first was a memberof the daily staff of a Lewistown,Montana, paper, then city editor andmanaging editor of the Sioux Falls(South Dakota) Press, succeedingBrother Masters as managing editorwhen he went to Topeka. For severalyears now he has been managing editorof the Argus Leader where he ismaking a name as one of the leadingnewspaper men in the state.In recent months these Montanagraduates have been on numerousnewspaper programs.The Southern Conference, one ofthe largest intercollegiate athleticgroups in the country, has come to

KIRKPATRICKWashington (St. Louis), '27pany of Tulsa, one of the largest titlecompanies in the Southwest, withwhich he had become associated in1928. Then in October, 1930, BrotherKirkpatrick was elected national secretaryof the abstractors' section of theAmerican Title Association meetingat Richmond, Virginia. He also obtainedthe pledge of the AmericanTitle Association to hold its twentyfifthannual convention at Tulsa inthe fall of 1931. Climaxing a year ofelection came his election to the OklahomaHouse of Representatives in November.He received the largest numberof votes and the greatest majorityof any legislator elected in the state.Brother Kirkpatrick had nine opponentsin the primary election, includingtwo former district judges, the secretaryof the local federation of labor,and a former member of the legislature.The role of prophet was assumedin a recent interview with Brock Pemberton,Kansas, '08, famous theatricalproducer, when, contrary to the usualdoleful predictions made, he forecastthe return of the "road show" to popularityafter a temporary eclipse duelargely to the "talkies." In part hesaid: "I believe in the possibilities of'the road' as a great theatrical lane.A good many producers make a mistakewhen they say the road is dead, sofar as dramatic attractions are concerned.They use the wrong tense;it isn't dead and it isn't going to die,but it has been in something like acomatose condition. I study road conditionsas much as Broadway conditions.That's what I'm doing when Imake it a business excuse to go to thiscity and that city to look at my companies."Brother Pemberton's highly successfulplay. Strictly Dishonorable, afterover 500 performances is still a boxoffice drawing card. The producerplans to withdraw it from Broadwayearly in 1931 and then cover considerableterritory in the East with thesame company. A southern companyis also playing and a third company isin the Middle West. A company ismade up for a London presentation ofthe play in February and by late springten companies will be presenting it inStockholm, Prague, and several otherEuropean capitals.Brother Pemberton has announcedthat the next play on his docket is[345]Made in Hollywood, a comedy of lifeand manners, with the world's moviecapital as its locale.Editor and Publisher for December13, 1930, carried a long, illustrated featurearticle about the work of FrankW. Rostock. Akron, '02, president andeditor of the Cincinnati Post. Therise in the newspaper world forBrother Rostock began, says Editorand Publisher, with his arranging ofa very successful baseball paradeunder very inauspicious circumstancesin Cleveland in 1915. His ability soimpressed Earle Martin, editor of theCleveland Press and chief of theScripps-Howard Ohio group, that thelatter took him from the sports departmentand made him a makeup editor.

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA February, 1931Soon after, he was sent, on a fewhours notice, to the editorship of theCincinnati Post. Just following theWar he was sent by the NewspaperEnterprise Association to interviewprominent war figures. Later he becamebusiness manager and then generalmanager of the NEA, and in morerecent years business manager andthen editor in chief of the Post in Cincinnati.One of his crowning achievementsin the southern Ohio metropolishas been the waging of the fight whichresulted in the riddance of machinepoliticians from the city hall and courthouse. Last summer it was an effortof his which prevented a disastrousbank run in Cincinnati. "A newspaper,"says Brother Rostock, "shouldbe an organ of the people. It shouldnever be afraid to fight the strongmerely because they are strong. It isthe weak of this world that need helpand justice. When a newspaper isright it should fight to the bitter end,though the battle takes years to win."A recent stage hit features a brotherPhi in the leading role, that of SenatorHarvey L. Krull of South Dakota.The actor who has inspired such favorablereviews is Robert T. Haines,Missouri, '89, and the play is RobertE. Sherwood's three-act comedy. ThisIs New York. The plot deals with theinvolvements of the daughter of thepompous Western Senator when shebecame entangled in a number of spectacularsituations in the city her fatherso detested. Percy Hammond, famoustheater critic, has this to say aboutBrother Haines in the role of SenatorKrull: "That statesman (SenatorKrull) played by Robert T. Haines,is a typical pigmy from our nationalforum, a blend of Heflin, Brookhart,Shipstead, Smoot, and others, thoughresembling, almost photographicallv,the sublime figure of William E.Borah. . . . Mr. Haines as one of theegotistic insects that infest the Capitolis conscientiously careful not to exceedthe extensive privileges of hispart.\ signal honor from his fellow attorneyscame recently to Raymond D.Evans, Allegheny, '14, president of UpsilonProvince and assistant attorneyfor the United States in the westerndistrict of Pennsylvania, when theAllegheny County Bar Associationgave him third place in its vote todetermine which lawyer to recommendto Governor Fisher of Pennsylvaniafor consideration in filling theplace made vacant by the elevation ofJudge James B. Drew from the Comm.onPleas Court to the SuperiorCourt. Of the 1,170 valid ballots castin the vote by the Pittsburgh lawyers,the first three nominees received atotal of 686 votes.

VOLUME LV JHE SCROLL ^'''""''"'•' PHI DELTA THETAEditoricOne of the evils introduced into the fraternity system by the chapterhouse was improper financing. The difficulty was aggravated by thescheme of notes signed by undergraduates most of which were to be paidafter the men left college.These notes were breeders of trouble and if the statistics were availableit would be shown that a relatively small number of them have ever beenpaid. The spasmodic attempt to collect them, often done in a tactlessmanner, has caused a rift in chapter relationships. The chapter houseburden, therefore, has been assumed for the majority by a faithfulminority.So it is refreshing to read in this number of THE SCROLL of the planused by South Dakota Alpha to handle its chapter house affairs. Thisplan has merit in several directions. First, it provides for payment bythe individual at the time he is enjoying the benefits of the chapter house.He pays for as long a period as he does enjoy those benefits actively.Secondly, it keeps capital funds segregated and absolutely separate fromcurrent funds, so that it is impossible for them to go to the grocer orthe butcher or worse still for the payment of some grand social affair.Lastly, it removes the burden of payment from the man just after heleaves college and is trying to establish himself in his life's work. It alsotends to keep him closer to his chapter and makes him return to it moreoften because it removes any cause for embarrassment because of unpaidhouse notes.All of this is fine in theory you will say. It would not work at SouthDakota or anywhere else unless a rigid rule be enforced concerning paymentof all chapter bills. Under the able leadership of President B. V.Moore, Lambda Province has put itself upon a strictly cash basis and isbuilding into its chapters a tradition of paying its bills. No more constructivething has happened in the fraternity in recent years.Undergraduates have a great habit of deluding themselves about finances.Some chapters say that they cannot adopt such a plan because the presentburden is as heavy as they can stand. Yet they will unhesitatingly spendas much money as they would pay in a year by the South Dakota methodon one party. Their bills are larger than they would be if they did notpermit a certain number of deadbeats to live in their rooms and eat theirfood without paying. Those who do pay have to pay their own score andenough more to make up for the delinquency of the non-payers.[363]

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA March, 1931The subject of the 1931 Founders' Day discussion is "Phi Delta Thetain 1948." This date will mark the one-hundredth birthday of the fraternityand it should be interesting to trace our development since ourfounding and equally as interesting to try to predict what we will be likein the year of our centennial.Many of us feel that there are a number of unsolved problems facingus and all fraternities and that we ought all to be thinking about them anddevising methods to work them out. Chapter houses, junior colleges,dormitories, deferred pledging: what will they mean to us ?Let us discuss these questions candidly and try to solve them so thatwhen we gather at old Miami in 1948 we may look back rather than forwardto them.We announce with sorrow the first break in the board of the SCROLLEndowment Fund Trustees; John T. Boddie, Kentucky Military Institute,'84—Vanderbilt, '87, who has recently passed to the Chapter Grand. Initiatedby a long inactive chapter but affiliated by one whose illustrious sonshave probably contributed more to the upbuilding of Phi Delta Theta thanany other, Brother Boddie gave unstintingly of his valuable time andinfluence to the affair of the fraternity and his loss is one which is difficuhto bear.It will be remembered by the older generation of Phis that BrotherBoddie and his brother maintained a register of members of the fraternityin Chicago during the World's Fair of 1893. He became a Trustee ofthe SCROLL Endowment Fund at its inception in 1910 and has helped tobuild the remarkable record which these trustees have made in the handlingof that fund. These men inspected all property upon which money hasbeen loaned, they have kept the fund invested up to within a few hundreddollars at six per cent interest and they have not sustained a single loss.I3M]

TombstonesBy RUSSELL H. FITZGIBBONHanover, '24(EDITORIAL NOTE.—This survey of 4* A 9'sdormant chapters has been made in thebelief that some account of our "tombstones"may be interesting to those ofa younger Phi generation who are largelyunfamiliar with them. The writer claimsno credit whatever for original researchon the subject: the large part of thematerial is to be found, passim, in thatexcellent History of Phi Delta Theta byWalter B, Palmer.)W ERE we but gifted with a presciencewhich none but the prophets had, ^ A 0might now have no dead chapters—andthere would be no "orphan members,"those brothers who, like James E.Davidson, have the Fraternity as awhole to revere and work for, buthave no active chapters of their own.Lacking that foresight which wouldhave guided our destinies in an infalliblebut impossibly perfect way, wemight have relied upon the experienceof other organizations of our kind,might have gotten statistics and graphsfrom the U. S. Bureau of Education,might have organized a mature surveycommission, and gone at the job in adeliberate and systematic way. LambdaChi Alpha and some other of theyounger fraternities have done it, andhave no tombstones, in spite of theirlarge chapter rolls.But back at Miami in the days ofthe Gold Rush and the Mexican Cessionand such things they probablydidn't know much about scientific anddeliberate fraternity expansion, inspite of the maturity of the Morrisonsand the Wilsons and the Harrisons ofthat day. Consequently, * A © andeach of her sister fraternities of anyhoary age at all has its quota of deadchapters, inactive chapters, tombstones,call them what you will.[365]In a few cases, as a survey ofBaird's Manual shows, the number ofinactive chapters is actually almost asgreat as or even greater than the numberof active ones. There is a surprisingsimilarity in the figures for thegroup which compares in age and sizewith * A 0. Some eight or ten fraternitiesin such a group would probablyshow an average percentage ofinactive chapters of about twenty.We, with slightly over seventeen percent of all our chapters inactive, aresomewhat more fortunate in that respectthan a number of other large fraternities.Whether this correspondencein percentages, and even in thelocation of dormant chapters, is morethan a matter of coincidence would bea question for further investigation.It was perhaps to have been expectedthat back in the stripling days therewould have been errors in judgmentin chartering; cases where the enthusiasmof a youthful parent chaptermight run away with reflective decisionor triumph with assurance overlack of knowledge of a college underconsideration. The Civil War camealong to devastate the fraternity worldand make imperative the hasty revivalof our fortunes even though that mightnecessitate later amputations.There were varying kinds of Fraternitygovernment: the parent chapter,the National Grand, the StateGrands, the convention, and finally theGeneral Council. That all made forconfusion. Those were the days whenan energetic and enthusiastic membercould almost literally take along a supplyof blank charters and go a-prospectingfor likely colleges and universities.Walter Palmer could have testifiedand George Banta, Sr., can still

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA March, 1931testify to that. In * A ®'s third decade,1868-78, there were thirty-twocharters granted. The fourth decadesaw twenty-seven more. Of thosefifty-nine chapters, sixteen have died.Don't blame it all on loose charteringmethods, insufficient investigation, andall of that. Many of our finest chaptersare to be found among the otherforty-three. It was simply a formativeperiod during which fraternities wereall finding themselves.Phi Delta Theta has granted a totalof 125 charters to different chapters(some have received new charters followinga suspension). The total ofchapters is 126 including the parentchapter at Miami. Subtracting thepresent number of active chapters, ourarithmetic lesson shows us that aneven quarter of a hundred chapters arenot now in existence.Four of these twenty-five have hadtheir identity merged with that ofother chapters. In two instances4> A 0 had bicameral chapters in institutions,the only fraternity ever tohave such unique offspring. Thesewere the original Ohio Beta at Miamiand Kentucky Gamma at Centre, butwithin a year each was absorbed by itssister chapter in the same college. Intwo other cases, colleges have consolidatedand, $ A 0 having a chapterin each, a logical chapter union followed.The first, of these was in thejoining of Central University and CentreCollege which, perforce, joinedKentucky Alpha and Kentucky Deltaas Kentucky Alpha-Delta. The otherwas in the recent union of Lombardwith Knox, resulting in the creation ofIllinois Delta-Zeta.[366]This leaves a total of twenty-onetruly inactive chapters. They are:Ohio Gamma Prime at Wittenberg,Texas Alpha Prime at Austin, KentuckyBeta at Kentucky Military Institute,Kentucky Gamma at Georgetown,Wisconsin Beta at Lawrence,Indiana Eta at the Indiana StateTeachers College, Virginia Alpha atRoanoke, Illinois Gamma at Monmouth,Georgia Alpha Prime at Oglethorpe,Ohio Delta at Wooster, MichiganBeta at Michigan State, VirginiaDelta at Richmond, Missouri BetaPrime at Central, Virginia Epsilon atVirginia Military Institute, IllinoisEpsilon at Illinois Wesleyan, TexasAlpha at Trinity, South Carolina Alphaat Wofford, South Carolina Betaat South Carolina, Michigan Gammaat Hillsdale, New York Gamma atthe College of the City of New York,and Alabama Gamma at Birmingham-Southern.Most of these chapters are probablydeader than the proverbial doornail,however deceased it may be. In severalcases there are still antifraternityrulings, although these have decreasedin number. In other cases it was earlyrecognized that a mistake was made inentering or the subsequent history ofthe institution has not been such as tojustify an attempt at revival of thedormant chapter. In still others, solittle group activity was developedduring the comparatively short life ofthe chapter that there is felt little needof a revival in order to father the"orphans" created by the death of thechapter.The list is not exempt from futureshortening, however. The near-successof the recent effort to re-establishthe South Carolina chapter is too recentto deserve comment. Three chapters,Akron, Mississippi, and Duke,have been reorganized within the pastdecade, after periods of suspension ofrespectively twenty-eight, fourteen,and forty-seven years. But, thoughthere is a perennial and deserving agitationon behalf of a few institutionson the list, the future removals willprobably not be numerous. A coiiservatismbred of respectable age istoo inclined to wipe them off as of thepast and relegate them to the limbo ofliistory pages and catalog statistics.The Founders and those closely associatedwith them had early in mindthe expansion of the "Order" by theestablishment of additional "colleges,"as the chapters then were called. RobertMorrison collected a number of

Vol. LV, No. 6THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAcollege catalogs, among them that ofWittenberg, a Luthern institutionfounded in 1845 at Springfield, Ohio.Several early attempts were made toestablish a chapter at Hanover andHugh MacHatton, a charter memberof the Centre chapter, was authorizedto initiate his brother, Joseph, a juniorat Hanover. This was done but theHanover chapter did not immediatelyresult.Joseph MacHatton later attendedWittenberg and on February 20, 1852,the Ohio .\lpha chapter authorized himto establish a chapter at Wittenberg.MacHatton initiated two men and thethree applied to the parent chapter fora charter which was granted underdate of May 18, 1852. "The chapterexisted only about two years, andnever was in a flourishing condition."April, 1853, saw only two active members,and its last report was made February8, 1854. There were but eightmembers altogether, all of them longsince dead. Several strong fraternitieswere later established, including* K *, B 0 n, A T n, and * r A.The General Council in 1883 refusedan application from Wittenberg andthere have been several subsequent attemptsat revival.The "Prime" in the chapter name,Ohio Gamma Prime, comes as a resultof the chaotic nomenclature which existedfor many years and involvednumerous chapters in frequent changesof name. Wittenberg was at first OhioGamma, in 1871 the Ohio Wesleyanchapter was rechartered as Ohio Gamma,and in a general revision of chapternames in the epochal 1880 conventionthe Ohio University chapter becameOhio Gamma. For some yearsthe initiated membership at Wittenbergwas included with other Ohio chapters,but the catalog of 1894 labeled it OhioGamma Prime, and such it has sincebeen.Texas Alpha Prime, the chapter at.\ustin College, another of the quartetof "prime" chapters, was about asephemeral as the chapter at Wittenberg.It, too, had only eight mem[367]bers; the 1926 Catalog indicated thatone of them was still living. .Alexander,McK. Rafter was initiated in thefall of 1854 as a member of the secondMiami chapter, the one which a fewweeks later reunited with the originalMiami chapter. At his initiation Rafterwas authorized to establish a chapterat Austin College. Rafter wentthere during that college year and anapplication for a charter, dated May30, 1853, was signed by him and threeothers. Ohio .Alpha granted them acharter on June 9, 1853, this being thefirst trans-Mississippi chapter of anyfraternity. The members soondropped out of college, however, andthe chapter suspended in 1854.A. T. McKinney of the Austin chapter,then in Princeton, late in 1856 attempteda revival of the chapter. Atthe suggestion of McKinney some correspondenceresulted between an OhioAlpha member and one from .Austinand in June, 1857, the -Austin memberwrote, "I initiated three young men,all choice spirits, with whom you canfreely commune without any mentalreservation whate\er." Probably thecommuning was of little avail sincePalmer concludes, "Doubtless thechapter died with the graduation ofmembers in 1858."Five of the eight members of theAustin chapter served in the ConfederateArmy; one was killed in action;and one was recommended for a colonelcy.The General Council in 1895refused an application from AustinCollege sponsored by a Phi professorfrom the Westminster chapter. Thisrejected local then organized ^ * *with the intention of making it an intercollegiatefraternity. This wasdone, but the new fraternity died aslow death in the early years of thiscentury. The editors of the 1894 Catalogwere responsible for christeningthe Austin chapter as Texas AlphaPrime.The beginnings of the chapter at theKentucky Military Institute illustratethe delightfully informal way in whichmany an early chapter was launched

Vol. LV, No. 6THESCROLLPHI DELTA THETAon its voyage. Palmer tells the storywell. The J. W. Foster referred towas an active Indiana man, presidentof the Convention of 1856, later a diplomatof renown, and Secretary ofState. "In the summer of 1854, J. W.Foster, Indiana Alpha, '55, talked withC. K. Drew, at Evansville, Indiana,where both of them lived, and inducedthe latter to undertake the establishmentof a chapter at Kentucky MilitaryInstitute . . . where he was astudent." The charter was duly appliedfor that fall by Drew and twoothers and on October 17, 1854, KentuckyAlpha granted the charter forKentucky Beta. Additional chapterswithin a state were then chartered bythat state's first chapter."At Evansville, Foster initiatedDrew, who initiated the other two atK.M.I." Youthful enthusiasm apparentlyran high since the second Bluegrasschapter wrote to the first in thesummer of 1855 giving " 'a cheeringaccount of Phi Delta Theta-ism at theKentucky Military Institute.' " Perhapsthe soil of military schools wasbarren for the propagation of fraternities,even though the sacred precinctsof the Naval Academy at Annapoliswere twice invaded by fraternities forbrief periods. At any rate, KentuckyBeta at K.M.I, did not flourish, andthe Centre chapter on April 7, 1857,withdrew its charter. During thisperiod of its legal existence the K.M.I,chapter had but eight members. Fiveof them served in the Civil War—andwhat a five! Kentucky Beta gave tothe Union Army a lieutenant-colonel,a captain, and a brigadier general,H. V. N. Boynton. To the ConfederateArmy she gave a lieutenant-coloneland a captain.This three years of chapter life apparentlyended Kentucky Beta, but aseeming discrepancy in the 1926 Catalog,by which forty additional membersare shown in the classes of 1883to 1889, is explained in this wise: .AMississippi Phi, T. C. Hindman, enteredK.M.I, in the fall of 1882, beganto pledge men for a new chapter, andmisled by unofficial assurances that acharter would be forthcoming, he initiatedthe men. The General Councilopposed the move, however, and althoughHindman made a strong appealfor a charter before the 1884 Conventionit was not granted. Theseforty additional initiates included suchmen as John T. Boddie, SCROLL EndowmentTrustee and D. T. Hargraves,former mayor of Helena, Arkansas.K.M.I, also harbored, formore or less brief periods, A K E,S A E, X *, and A T n chapters.Activity of Kentucky Alpha was reflectedin the chartering of anotherKentucky chapter in 1857, KentuckyGamma at Georgetown. This chaptersucceeded another Kentucky Gamma inthe roster of chapter names, that havingbeen the title borne by the secondbranch at Centre for a few months in1855. Early in January, 1857, theCentre chapter elected one J. F. Cook,a Georgetown student, as a memberand the corresponding secretary wasinstructed to send to him a charter.Bond, Constitution, Articles of Union,and by-laws necessary for establishinga chapter at Georgetown.This chapter-by-correspondence wasestablished—but lived only threemonths due to the existence of antisecretsociety laws at Georgetown.An attempt was made in 1859 to reestablishthe chapter. Kentucky Alphaelected to honorary membership a Dr.Campbell of Georgetown that he mighthelp in the establishment of a "college"there. The Grand Chapter (thenIndiana Alpha) wrote that this wasa violation of custom, but gave its approval.The attempt was dropped,however, because of college regulations.The Centre chapter in 1874again took up the question of a re-establishmentat Georgetown. TwoKentucky Alpha men who had enteredGeorgetown initiated a number ofothers; and application for a charterwas filed with Kentucky Alpha; thecharter was granted.There was still the prejudice againstsecret societies and the chapter had[369]

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA March, 1931local at Lawrefice, which continued topetition $ A ® for thirty years. Apetition received in 1900 was referredto the Convention of that year, butin spite of the representations ofGeorge Banta, Sr., was tabled. Laterconventions brought a repetition ofthe same story. Fraternities havesince become well established at Lawrence.Phi Delta Theta's only incursion intothe field of normal schools camewith the chartering of Indiana Eta(although for a time it was known asIndiana Zeta) at the Indiana StateNormal School (now the Indiana StateTeachers College) at Terre Haute.The chapter was established throughthe activity of a Butler Phi who wasprincipal of the Terre Haute HighSchool. It was dated April 15, 1869,and, with no other fraternities competingat Terre Haute, our chapternaturally got the pick of the studentbody.It was soon decided, though, thata mistake had been made in enteringan institution of that type, and in theconvention of 1872 the charter waswithdrawn. The General Council in1880 refused a petition from the TerreHaute school. But fifteen men wereon the roll of Indiana Eta, of whomonly one is thought to be living now,but the fifteen included a future presidentand a vice-president of the IndianaNormal School.A Hoosier, David B. Floyd of theDePauw chapter, was responsible forthe introduction of * A 0 into Virginia,whence it spread to Georgia andother southern states. He had been acharter member of the DePauw chapterand in June, 1868, left Indiana toenter the freshman class at Roanoke.Imbued with the spirit, he immediatelybegan negotiations looking toward therough sledding. Its last member wasinitiated in January, 1876, and it becameinactive with the close of thatyear. But fifteen men had been initiatedaltogether. An application fora charter in 1900 never reached a vote.No other fraternities were establishedat Georgetown until after the turn ofthe century.What might be termed the last ofthe first group of inactive chapters wasestablished in 1859 at Lawrence College,Appleton, Wisconsin. No otherchapters chartered for the next tenyears were destined to lapse. The vigorousyoung chapter at Wisconsin wasresponsible for the extension to Lawrence."Lawrence University wasthen," to quote Palmer, "considerablymore of an institution than the Universityof Wisconsin. . . . Lawrencehad 8 instructors, 7 alumni, 129 collegiatestudents and a library of 3,800volumes, while Wisconsin had only 7instructors, 6 alumni, 30 collegiate studentsand 1,900 volumes." The movementwas started by Wisconsin Alphalate in 1857 when "on motion of Mr.Vilas" the initiation of a Lawrencestudent was authorized. The "Mr.Vilas" of the story was William F.Vilas later Postmaster General, Secretaryof the Interior, and U. S. Senator,then a senior at Wisconsin.The following fall and winter anumber of Lawrence students wereinitiated and in January, 1859, an applicationfor a charter was sent to andgranted by Wisconsin Alpha. Relationsbetween the two Wisconsin chapterswere most cordial, but due to thefact that the attitude of the Lawrencefaculty compelled a sub rosa existenceon the part of Wisconsin Beta thechapter did not become firmly established.Its life did not extend beyondthe commencement of 1860. Therewere but eleven members all of whom establishment of a chapter.are now dead.The General Council in 1898 refuseda petition from Lawrence, the first ofa series of petitions perhaps unparalleledfor longevity in * A 0 history.It came from 0 $, a newly organized[370]A longcorrespondence followed betweenFloyd and members of the Grand Alphachapter, then at Chicago, and IndianaAlpha, which was assumed tohave jurisdiction since Floyd was amember of an Indiana chapter.

The trail blazerwas C. B.

"Phi Delta Theta was thefirst fraternity of northern origin toenter Georgia after the Civil War."The Oglethorpe chapter, GeorgiaAlpha of course, was active in spreadingthe Fraternity among other Georgiacolleges, Georgia Beta in the University,Gamma at Emory, etc. Nameswere revised later. The Alpha chaptercame to an abrupt end, however,with the closing of Oglethorpe Universityat the end of the fall term in 1872.The catalog of 1894 first labeled theOglethorpe chapter Georgia AlphaPrime, after the other Georgia chaptershad each been moved up a notchalphabetically. But one member ofGeorgia Alpha Prime survives.

The initiative in formationhere again came from a Hanover man,R. H. McCelland, '74. He entered[373]Wooster in the fall of 1871 and immediatelyset to work to establish achapter, with the result that on February24, 1872 Ohio Alpha grantedthe coveted charter. By commencementin 1873 the chapter claimedtwenty-one members. An aflSliate ofthat year, Charles T. Jamieson of theHanover chapter, became one of theFraternity's strongest workers.As early as the fall of 1873, OhioDelta at Wooster became the "firstchapter" of the whole Fraternity.Miami had suspended, due to financialdifficulties, and Ohio Alpha at a specialmeeting on August 11, 1873 "decidedto transfer the business of the GrandAlpha, until the Convention, to theOhio Delta." The Wooster chapterwell merited the confidence placed init, despite its youth, since it was in avery flourishing condition. The Conventionof 1874 made official the transferof authority and established OhioDelta as National Grand. This authorityresided with Ohio Delta untilit was transferred, in 1878, to PennsylvaniaAlpha at Lafayette.A premature suspension of OhioDelta occurred in the fall of 1880 whenthe active chapter, due to the lack ofgood fraternity material in the Ohioschool, surrendered its charter. Thefollowing spring two of the chapter'syoungest members engineered a revivalof its activity when nine menwhom they had secretly pledged appearedin church one Sunday morningwith $ A 0 badges. The GeneralCouncil returned the Charter. THechapter name, which the Conventionof 1875 had changed to Ohio Zeta, wasrestored to Ohio Delta by the 1880Convention.A Wooster chapter letter of May,1897, showed a membership of ten,with high expectations for the followingyear. However, only two membersreturned to college. They decided thatdue to deterioration in the quality ofthe student body the chapter's prospectswere not good, and the ProvincePresident after a visit reluctantly concurredin the opinion. Hence, the

Wooster's greatest blight, sofar as fraternities were concerned,came sixteen years later when an intimatedgift of $1,000,000 by Mr. L.

Michigan Alphahad suspended in 1869 and was not rechartereduntil 1880. The establishmentcame about through the correspondenceof an Ohio Wesleyan Phi,whose stationery bore the Fraternitycoat of arms, with a friend at MichiganState. The Michigan State man,whose curiosity had been stimulatedby the coat of arms, forwarded, withsome friends, certificates of characterand ability to Ohio Wesleyan, and negotiationsfor a charter were forthwithundertaken.The Grand Alpha at Wooster authorizedthe Ohio Wesleyan chapter toproceed and after the routine steps ofthat day, the Wooster chapter issueda charter, dated November 8, 1873, toMichigan Beta (the application hadbeen for a "Michigan Alpha" chapter).The organization was kept as secretas possible but the faculty heard ofit and insisted upon knowing its aimand policy before giving oflficial recognition.The chapter furnished sufficientassurances on this score andsubsequently became well established."During 1874-75," says Palmer, "thechapter at Lansing made efforts to re[375]vive the chapter at Ann Arbor, butwithout success."Rumors of unfavorable conditions atMichigan State became recurrent duringthe 'Nineties. Hugh Th. Miller,P.G.C., visited the college in the summerof 1895 and on the basis of hisreport the General Council decided torefer the withdrawal of the charter tothe Convention of 1896. This Conventionordered the General Councilto investigate the college. Walter B.Palmer, elected P.G.C. in 1896, reportedafter a visit that its scholasticstandard was low. An affirmative voteof all other chapters in the (then)Delta Province preceded the withdrawalby the General Council in February,1898, of the Michigan Betacharter. Those who had been activemembers appealed to the 1898 Conventionbut without success. Theythen organized the local * A Societywhich for years following petitioned* A 0 for a restoration of theMichigan Beta charter. This localstill keeps in touch with the oldMichigan Beta alumni (178 were initiated)and helps hold them together.Many of the chapter effects—pictures,historical documents, etc.—were turnedover to the local society. Among theMichigan Beta alumni were such menas Dr. Frank S. Kedzic, for severalyears president of Michigan State College,Dr. William F. Durand, professorof mechanical engineering at StanfordUniversity, Liberty Hyde Bailey,author, editor, and former presidentof the American Association for theAdvancement of Science, and RayStannard Baker, writer, journalist,and l)iographer of Woodrow Wilson.Expansion in the Old Dominionstate was rapid. Within less than adecade five charters had been granted.The fourth of these was to a group atRichmond College for the establishmentof Virginia Delta. The applicationcame as the result of organizationof a group by a Phi transferringfrom Roanoke. The charter wasgranted by Virginia Alpha September30, 1875. The new chapter proved

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA March, 1931successful from the start. Withinlittle over a decade low membership,the nemesis of so many of the chaptersalong the South Atlantic seaboard,began to trouble Virginia Delta. Thechapter reported only two active membersin 1885-86.A new lease on life came with theabsorption by ^ A 0 of four chaptersof K S K in Virginia. Protractednegotiations preceded the acceptanceof this eastern remnant of a nationalfraternity, and through the union therecame to * A 0 a number of strongleaders. The five active Richmondmembers of K S K were initiated bythe two remaining members of VirginiaDelta June 18, 1886. That fallthe chapter initiated William L.Gravatt who had been a charter memberof the Richmond chapter of K S K,was then assistant rector of St. Paul'sChurch in Richmond, and is now abishop of the Protestant EpiscopalChurch.Visits by General Council memberscontinued necessary, though, largelydue to small membership of the chapterat Richmond. Faculty and trusteedissensions, lessened quality of matriculants,and probability of a loweredstanding of the institution all combinedto sap chapter morale. Only twomembers returned in the fall of 1895.After consulting with resident alumnithey placed the chapter charter at thedisposal of the General Council "withthe statement that they did not considerthe institution a desirable placefor # A 0 at that time." The GeneralCouncil, after inquiries, recalled thecharter in November, 1895.The chapter initiated a total ofeighty-four men, many of whom becameprominent. Among them, in additionto Bishop Gravatt, were Dr.Thornton Whaling, later president ofthe Theological Seminary of Kentucky,Judge Lyman Chalkley of Lexington,Kentucky, and Dr. Carter HelmJones, famous Baptist clergyman.Other inactives at Richmond includeB 0 n, A T n, S X, and S A E.The story of the chapter at Central[376](in Missouri) may be briefly recorded.The glamour coming from informalityof chartering had passed by 1876 andthe group had too short an existenceto develop a chapter personality. Thechartering came about through the activityof a Missouri Alpha Phi whowas a student at Central from 1874 to1876. Missouri Alpha granted thecharter. May 29, 1876, to MissouriBeta. No other fraternities existed atCentral and the chapter had to remainsub rosa because of antifraternityregulations.Such restrictions caused the death ofthe chapter two years later, no meetingsbeing held after June, 1878. Onlyeleven men had signed the chapter roll.An application for a charter was againplaced with the Fraternity by a groupat Central in 1893, but failed to receivethe approval of chapters of that Province.In the meantime, the Westminsterchapter, chartered in 1880, hadbeen entitled Missouri Beta, and thecatalog of 1894 appended the "prime"to the Central chapter name.Virginia Military Institute, "theWest Point of the South," came nearhaving a chapter in the year or sobefore 1876. George D. White, Centre,'75, a student in V. M. I. persuadeda number of his friends to joinhim in petitioning a charter of $ A 0.White, however, was forced to withdrawfrom the Institute due to hismother's illness, and so the initial attemptto establish a chapter provedabortive. .A charter member of theAlabama chapter, who had removedfrom V.M.I., was asked in 1878 to recommenda Virginia cadet throughwhom a chapter might be established.He did so, and after the customaryroutine procedure the group formed atthe Institute received a charter fromVirginia Alpha February 9, 1878.There were seven older fraternities buta Phi wrote to W. B. Palmer in October1878, that "we have done betterthan any other fraternity here."Weakness in numbers affected VirginiaEpsilon, however, as it did somany of the chapters in the (then)

Vol. LV, No. 6THESCROLLPHI DELTA THETABeta Province. The chapter openedin the fall of 1884 with but two members.Institute trustees in 1885adopted antifraternity regulations andVirginia Epsilon was forced into asub rosa existence. Temporary bettermentcame from the K 2 K unionin 1886. Virginia Epsilon had occasionallyinitiated students fromWashington and Lee, but the General, Council decided in 1886 that the twoinstitutions should be the homes ofseparate chapters and so Virginia Zetashortly came into existence.The Convention of 1886 appointeda committee of three to. investigateconditions at the Virginia Military Institute.The Washington and Leechapter reporter sang the swan songof Virginia Epsilon when in a SCROLLletter of March, 1888, he wrote: "Ishall close with a few words aboutVirginia Epsilon at V.M.I. Fraternitieshaving been abolished therethis year, this year will witness thedeath of this young and flourishingchapter which is composed of the bestmen in the institute. ..." The GeneralCouncil a year later voted to withdrawthe charter.Perhaps no school in the countryhas a more imposing list of "tombstones"than Virginia Military Institute.Associated with the ghost ofVirginia Epsilon are those of chaptersof A T n, K A, B 0 n, S N, K 2, S A E,S X, and S * E."•The Fraternity was almost extinctin Illinois, 1877, having only two chaptersin the state—those at Monmouthand Knox." George Banta, Sr. tookupon himself the responsibility of reviving$ A 0 in that great state. Heobtained the name of an Illinois Wesleyanstudent and began a correspondencewith him relative to establishinga chapter at Illinois Wesleyan. Thisstudent was a member of the # 2League, a small Mid-Western fraternity.He proposed the absorption by$ A 0 of the * 2 League and negotiationsproceeded on that basis.Although the Monmouth chapterwas then the senior chapter in Illinois,[377]its weak condition made it inadvisableto approach it with the proposal tocharter an Illinois Epsilon at Wesleyan.Hence, the application fromthe Bloomington group was referredto the National Grand chapter at Wooster.Ohio Delta refused to grant thecharter and Brother Banta determinedto take the application to the Conventionof 1878; this Convention, May 23,granted the charter.THE SCROLL for January, 1880,announced that, due to delinquency inpayment of fraternity dues, the ExecutiveCommittee of the Fraternity hadwithdrawn the Illinois Epsilon charterand expelled the entire active membership.The announcement like reportsof Mark Twain's death, however,were a little premature, and the situationwas soon adjusted. The chapterand resident alumni entertained theNational Convention of 1889.During the late Nineties both IllinoisWesleyan and the chapter sufferedfrom lack of students. A local alumnusadvised the General Council in thespring of 1897 that conditions wereunfavorable and that he thought thecharter should be surrendered. Fewerthan seventy men were then attendingIllinois Wesleyan. The General Councilinvestigated and late in March decidedto request the chapter to returnits charter at the end of the collegeyear. An application for recharteringwas refused in 1899, and one in 1901from the Knights of Classic Lore wasalso turned down. These applicationsreceived the very strong support ofRichard Henry Little, Illinois Wesleyan,'95, on whose recommendationthe Knights established the first fraternityhouse at Illinois Wesleyan andchanged their name to T K E. Thisgroup has since expanded into one ofthe strongest of the younger nationalfraternities. Illinois Epsilon initiatedsomewhat over 100 men. In additionto Brother Little, now a world-famouscolumnist on the Chicago Tribune, thenumber included such men as WilliamE. Higbee, SCROLL EndowmentTrustee, of Chicago, Dr. Charles S.

Obtaining the names of twoTrinity students, Brother Banta begancorrespondence with them, receivedwritten pledges of secrecy, forwardedthe Bond and Constitution, andreceived an application for a charter.The National Convention on May 23,1878, granted a charter to Texas Beta.Two years later, in an ill-consideredrevision of nomenclature, this namewas changed to Texas Alpha.The president of Trinity announcedin 1881 that the trustees and facultydesired that there should be no secretsocieties in the institution. As a result,Texas Alpha decided to operate subrosa, one member writing to THESCROLL that "the boys of Texas Alphaare too enthusiastic and have too muchpluck to give up their chapter withouta great struggle." The struggle wasfutile, however, and the chapter finallysuccumbed in June of 1883. The chapterwrote in December 1882: "Ourteachers watch us like a hungry hawkhis prey. In the lonely hour of midnightwe have to meet—if at all—inthe halls of our college, and with darklanterns read the dear old Bond." Thenames of seventeen Phis were revealedto the faculty by nonfraternity menand amnesty was promised by thefaculty only on terms which precludedany further attempts to operate. Onlyforty-one men had been initiated.[379]Walter B. Palmer was responsiblefor the chartering of our first SouthCarolina Chapter, that at WoffordCollege. He obtained from a NorthCarolina Phi the name of a Woffordstudent and opened a correspondencewith him. Palmer requested the chapterat Georgia, being the closest one, toconduct the initiation of the chosenmen and a representative of GeorgiaAlpha did so in January, 1879. Thecharter was duly applied for andgranted by the National Grand, thenat Lafayette, January 31.The bane of the chapters along theSouth Atlantic coast, small attendance,began its operation, however. Onlytwo Phis returned to the chapter atWofford in 1884-85 and only one thefollowing year. Deeming the strugglehopeless, he surrendered the SouthCarolina Alpha charter October 31,1885. But thirty members were on theroll altogether; this number, though,included a future governor of SouthCarolina, William H. Ellerbe. TheGeneral Council rejected a propositionreceived in April, 1891, from a chapterof another fraternity at Wofford thatit abandon that fraternity and unitewith * A 0.The second South Carolina chapterwas also destined to suspend its activityafter a brief existence. It wasorganized at South Carolina College asa result of the work of a charter memberof the Wofford chapter and aV.M.I. Phi. The Richmond Convention,1882, received the application fora charter and ordered the GeneralCouncil to grant it. Eight fraternitieshad preceded South Carolina Beta atthe state institution although all buttwo had then suspended.The South Carolina legislature in1887 changed the school to the Universityof South Carolina and made aliberal appropriation for support andenlargement. Apparently rosy dayswere ahead. The leavening of a"Pitchfork Ben" Tillman brand ofpolitics soon began its insidious course,though, and in 1889 the legislature establisheda separate agricultural col-

By thistime there was an attendance of onlyninety-five, to furnish material for tenfraternities!South Carolina Beta initiated butone man during 1891-92, and in thefall of the following year only threePhis returned. None was initiatedthat year. Only one, an affiliate fromGeorgia Alpha, returned in the fall of1893, and on October 1 the GeneralCouncil voted to withdraw the charter;The South Carolina legislature of1897 adopted a law prohibiting fraternitiesin state-supported institutions.This blot of their 'scutcheon remaineduntil some five years ago. Hence, theSouth Carolina fraternity list is dottedwith many withdrawals, althoughnumerous fraternities have in the pastfew years re-established their chapters.The chapter roll contains but fortynames. Outstanding among them allis that of David Franklin Houston,former president of the University ofTexas and of Washington University,former Secretary of Agriculture andof the Treasury, and now head of oneof the country's largest insurance companies.Other prominent members includeProfs. A. C. Moore and W. T-Aycock (of biology and law, respectively)of the University of SouthCarolina, and Commander John B.Patton, U.S.N., Retired. Chapteralumni have manifested considerableinterest in the activity of a grouppetitioning in recent years for the reestablishmentof a chapter. The mostrecent development was the unsuccessfulvote of this group at the DetroitConvention.Delta Tau Delta at Hillsdale inMichigan had an undisputed existencefor fifteen years following its establishmentin 1867. It was a rocky path,though, due to faculty opposition.Since this opposition had died down bythe early 'eighties, an opportunity waspresented for the formation of anotherchapter. Early in the fall of 1882 anumber of literary 'society members[380]banded together for the purpose ofobtaining a second fraternity charter.After a thorough study of fraternitiesthey decided to petition $ A 0 and didso with the high recommendation ofPres. D. W. C. Durgin of Hillsdale.The application was dated November15, 1882, and was granted by the GeneralCouncil two days before Christmas.A very welcome Christmas present! For two years after the charterwas granted the Hillsdale memberswere known as "Fijis" because of thesupposition existing for a time that thelocal organization had joined * P A,since efforts had previously been madeto induce the students to apply to thatfraternity.Michigan Gamma celebrated its anniversaryon Christmas Eve, 1883,with a banquet to which were invitedthe members of K K P. The banquetcame during the college vacation andthe chapter hence thought it unnecessaryto obtain faculty consent to invitethe feminine guests. The facultythought differently. All save onemember of the chapter were suspended.The chapter weathered thestorm, however.The Convention of 1896 ordered theGeneral Council to investigate conditionsat Hillsdale and W. B. Palmer,P. G. C, visited the chapter in November,1897. He reported that the collegehad suffered a great falling off in thenumber of students and that MichiganGamma was weak owing to the scarcityof good material. After an affirmativevote of the other chaptersof the Province the General Councilwithdrew the charter, effective at theend of the college year 1897-98.The chapter had initiated a few overa hundred men. Among them wereJames E. Davidson, shipbuilder andbanker, head of the Palmer Endowmentcampaign, George K. March,president of a Detroit Fire Insurancecompany, and L. P.

A UnionPhi began working through a friend inC.C.N.Y. for the building of a groupwhich might petition for a charter.The group was formed, the applicationmade, and on February 16, 1884,the General Council granted a charterfor New York Gamma.The chapter remained sub rosa fora few weeks, and for a number ofmonths meetings were held in thehomes of various members. NewYork Delta at Columbia was charteredtwo months after the C.C.N.Y. chapterand relations between the two citychapters were most cordial. The twochapters and a group of New Yorkalumni jointly rented rooms late in1885 and later the two chapters tookmore commodious quarters.The changing character of the studentbody at the College of the City ofNew York caused a swift decline inthe chapter membership a few yearslater. March, 1890, found sixteen activemembers and October of that yeareleven. But J. M. Mayer, ProvincePresident, a C.C.N.Y. alumnus, reportedto the Atlanta Convention inOctober, 1891, that the chapter thenhad but three members and he recommendedwithdrawal of the charter.The Convention took this action.New York Gamma was very nearlyrechartered in 1892. An applicationfor charter was received and the GeneralCouncil voted to grant it. Byearly May all chapters of the Provincewith one exception had voted in favorof a revival, but the Province Conventionin October disapproved the projectand it was dropped. The loss ofthe C.C.N.Y. chapter was not so keena one to its alumni as might otherwisehave been the case because theymerged so easily in spirit with the NewYork Delta alumni. Many of themdid aflSliate with the Columbia chapter.The chapter initiated a few over fiftymen including such ones as JudgeJulius M. Mayer, Prof. Charles A.Downer of C.C.N.Y., Eugene H. L.Randolph, Past Secretary, President,and Reporter of the General Council,Louis E. Van Norman, author anddiplomat, and Franklin B. Ware, formerNew York City alderman andNew York state architect.Alabama state conventions of 1885and 1886 had adopted resolutionsfavoring entrance of the Fraternityinto Southern University at Greensboro.An Auburn Phi entered Southernin the fall of 1886 and soon beganto pledge men to form a chapter. Apetition, endorsed by both AlabamaAlpha and Alabama Beta, was presentedto the New York Convention of1886. The Convention voted to grantit, but later reconsidered the vote andreferred the matter to the GeneralCouncil. Another application was filedin December and in January by aunanimous vote of the General Counciland Province Presidents the charterwas granted.By the time of the Philadelphia Conventionof 1896 discussion of the weakenedcondition of Southern Universitywas rife, and the committee on chaptersand charters of that Conventionrecommended withdrawal. The Conventionconcurred and on November28 revoked the charter of AlabamaGamma. Southern University latereffected an amalgamation with aBirmingham school as Birmingham-Southern College. A group from thiscollege petitioned $ A © some yearsago but was advised to look elsewherefor a charter.

Members of the activechapter and alumni provided carsto transport the boys to a movie house.Here a "big brother" for each childwas appointed among the actives,pledges, and alumni, to see to thatchild's welfare during the evening.After the show, the boys were takento the chapter house. There a Santa[384]Claus, Christmas tree, and giftsawaited them. Each little guest waspresented with a pair of gloves andstockings. An orange and a sack ofcandy for that "sweet tooth" were alsoto be found in Santa's pack.Pictures of the group were taken.Then the children were sent to theirhomes in cars.Even though the little boys seemedto appreciate the party greatly, the bigboys of the chapter received evenmore enjoyment in playing hosts.

Fraternity Advisers CouncilFormed at Ohio StateAN EVENT which might be of interestto fraternity advisers in generalhas occurred at Ohio State Universitywhere all the fraternity advisers have,,organized a council. At the organizationmeeting January 15, forty advisersmet, discussed the possibilities ofsuch an organization, and enthusiasticallydecided to establish it.The hope of the advisers is thus tosupplement the work of the fraternitypresidents' council and - actively cooperatewith that body in regard to allfraternity affairs.The actual detailed work of the organizationis carried on by the deanof men's office. This includes the assigningof committees, calling of meetingsand distribution of reports. Amember of the dean's office serves aschairman of the council. There areat present four committees at work:fraternity social life, fraternity scholarship,fraternity housing, fraternityfinances, five advisers serve as membersof each of these committees.At the first meeting several adviserswho have been quite active in relationto their chapters gave short talkstelling of the duties of advisers andexplaining certain outstanding featuresof their regime. These talks apparentlygave many advisers newBy FRED J. MILLIGANOhio State, '28ideas and new life, at any rate a numberof fraternity presidents have reportedrenewed activity on the partof their adviser since the first meeting.As is usually the case few ofthe advisers were acquainted withtheir duties and accordingly accomplishedlittle in the way of assistingthe chapter. The basic idea in thecreation of such a council is to makethe adviser a constructive force in actuallyassisting the chapter. We submitthis to be a much better programthan that of calling on the otherwisedormant adviser only in a defensivemanner when the chapter isin trouble.The following policy of the organizationwas announced:"The policy of this organizationshall be to distribute information tothe members regarding outstandingfeatures of fraternity organizationhere. To ask committees to work oncertain fraternity problems, reportingtheir findings to the council. To askindividual members to report to thecouncil on certain phases of fraternitywork in which his fraternity has beenparticularly successful. To meet asa council perhaps quarterly and fromtime to time with the fraternity presidents'council."[389]

GUY POTTER BENTON, OhioWesieyan, '86through many years, he was one of thebest loved men in the educational andfraternity world.As president of Miami Universityfrom 1902 to 1911 and of the Universityof Vermont from 1911 to 1917,at which time he resigned to go intoactive war service, he was known intimately,not only to many delegationsof Phi Delts, but to college studentsgenerally through this period of fifteenyears.After the war, as president of theUniversity of the Philippines, he drovehimself with the same relentless energythat had characterized him throughouthis life. Because of overwork and theoppressive climate of the Philippines,he broke in health and contracted apeculiar Philippine malady, fromwhich he never recovered.

South Dakota Alpha Has SensibleBuilding Finance PlanCULMINATING several years of chapterand building finance study. SouthDakota Alpha has evolved and placedin active operation an organization ofbuilding finance that has eradicatedmany of the difficulties connected withthe giving and collecting of housenotes.Approved by Lambda Province inconvention May, 1930, the last fallwitnessed the plan in nearly perfectedoperation in South Dakota Alpha.House building funds, raised by paymentsof a few dollars monthly byeach member of the active chapter,are given immediately upon paymentto three trustees who have the trustredeclared in a bank which activelysupervises the investment and controlof the moneys on deposit. The trusteesact as fiscal agents of the fundand are charged solely with accountingof the funds and the business affairspertinent to future building.None of the principal amounts can bewithdrawn until the depository is satisfiedthat they are being expended inthe acquisition of chapter house propertyor building contract.While not unusual because of itsnature as a trust fund, the plan hasparticular merit because payments towardthe fund are made only duringthe time members are actively enrolledin school or connected with thechapter, and then only for a threeyearperiod. Members leaving schoolleave with no outstanding obligationsdue the chapter or the building fund.They are never called upon to payhouse notes. All house notes unpaidat the time of inauguration of theplan were charged off as void, it be-[393]By HARVEY J. GUNDERSONSouth Dakota, '28ing left to delinquents either to makea gift of unpaid amounts or to notpay anything. In the future, no attemptswill be made to collect anybills from alumni of the chapter andthere will be no one leaving with billswhich should be collected.Success is achieved solely by thestrict adoption of the house financeplan whereby chapter bills due forthirty days are immediately pro-ratedover the members and the offendingparty declared inactive and deprivedof house privileges until the accountis cleared. Failure to clear the accountunder the recent ordinances ofthe fraternity will thereafter soon resultin expulsion from the fraternity.This combination of circumstances, operatingnow for six months, hasproven to keep all amounts paid withinthe time limits set and has thoroughlysucceeded in keeping chapterfinances in perfect shape.B. V. Moore, president of LambdaProvince, gave the idea excellent supportfrom the first and made possiblethe adoption of the uniform planthroughout the district. Mark Bradford,traveling secretary of the fraternity,during a recent visit, notedthe ease with which the plan hadplaced South Dakota Alpha on a permanentlysound financial basis.Trustees named and in charge ofthe operation of the plan at SouthDakota Alpha are Curtiss W. Espe,Wilfred L. Chaussee, and Harvey J.Gunderson. They are interested alonein arranging for future building. Thepresent chapter house continues inownership with the alumni corporation,who receive rents as usual and

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA March, 1931who in no way are affected under thenew system, save that house notes areno longer taken by the corporation andit is free to devote itself to alumnicontacts and the operation of thechapter house. Without increasinghousebills or disturbing maintenancefinance in any way, the system assuressufficient funds for the constructionof a new house within a few yearsand thereafter will be able to providefor replacement houses or additionsand extensive repairs wheneverneeded. The change was merely frompaying the money on house notes intothe trust fund by the chapter after collection,but the complete segregationof the various funds under differentadministrative heads has resulted inbetter efficiency and more attentionpaid to each division.Improved alumni relations includinggreater interest in the chapter by mennow out of school is the outstandingand first result noticeable from thechange and this is attributable directlyto the voiding of all house note obligationsand complete cessation in the useof house notes of any nature. This,unquestionably, is the chief asset ofthe arrangement and an asset that themajority of chapters have need for.Another Sewanee Phi MadeBishop of the Episcopal Church(Continued from page 383)reading leans to poetry and biography.He was vice-president of the BaUimoreFederation of Churches for six years.He is a member of the Buffalo AthleticClub, the Clerus and Masonic order.Interviewed shortly after he came toBuffalo in December, 1928, Dean Brownsaid of the ministry;"It is the happiest life in the world,for the greatest need among people todayis the need of Christ."He h»lds the degree •£ Doctor ofLiterature fr»m the University of Alabama,which he received in 1915, and in1921 he was awarded the degree of Doctorof Divinity from St. John's College,Annapolis, Md.In 1927 and 1928 he lectured on pastoraltheology at the Virginia TheologicalSeminary.He has contributed many essays tochurch publications and is author of"Chasing Foxes and Other Sermons."[394]

Phis of WashingtonDACK in the latter years of theeighteenth century there were thosewho thought the national capital quitefar enough west to serve the needs ofthe country through all the years tocome. Every schoolboy knows thestory of the compromise betweenNorth and South over the location ofthe capital. Then there were no Eastand West: it was only a "two-directional"country. The westward courseof empire soon placed the capital cityon the very fringe of the country, butnaturally it still remains the mecca forthe thousands who work there in theircountry's service and for other thousandswho are attracted there moreindirectly.Among both groups are to be foundmany Phis. In fact, there are morethan two hundred of them, and mostof them are actual permanent residentsof Washington and not merelyperiodic commuters. In going toWashington from other states theysacrifice something of the politicalprivilege adhering to state citizenship,but the compensating opportunities ofthe capital city are many. It is perhapsinvidious to single out a few ofthese Washington Phis for particularmention. Some of them, by virtue oftheir offices, are very much in thepublic eye; others, no less leaders, occupyobscurer positions.Altogether, the Alumni Club ofWashington is perhaps as cosmopolitanas any in the country unless,possibly, it be the Harvard Club.Thirty-six states are represented byPhis at Washington. The keystonestate leads the list, there being twentyfivePennsylvanians in the capital.Politically-minded, Indiana is secondwith a delegation of twenty-three. Oc-[395]By RUSSELL H. FITZGIBBONHanover, '24cupationally, too, the group is well distributed.Naturally the group oflawyers is comparatively large, abouta dozen and a half. 'There are approximatelyten doctors—and theymust be good ones since the club boastsonly one undertaker. A considerablesprinkling of Army and Navy officers.Senators, Representatives, judicial andother public servants gives an officialflavor to the club which few clubsmight claim.One of the most active of theyounger Phis in the capital is PaulShorb, North Dakota, '17. He finishedhis undergraduate work at the westernschool in that year and three yearslater took his degree in law fromGeorge Washington University in thecapital city. Brother Shorb's fraternityaffiliations are of a varied sort;aside from being an active member of$ A 0 he is a member (and officer,along with Brother Manier of Nashville)of the * A 0 legal fraternity;he also belongs to $ B K and ASP.He has numerous other professional,fraternal, and social connections there.Brother Shorb is a member of thefirm of Covington, Burling, andRublee, of Washington.In all probability one of the mostrevered and best loved Phis to be foundanywhere is Milo Colburn Summers,Lombard, '81. Brother Summers is atypically fine representative of this oldIllinois chapter which is just mergingits entity with that of its neighborchapter at Knox. He was a chartermember of the chapter at Lombard.He has recently been elevated to membershipin the Golden Legion. He hasrepresented his alumni club at threenational conventions and at numerousprovince conventions. He was a dele-

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA March, 1931gate to the epochal convention of 1880at Indianapolis where our present formof government was devised. He wasan early province president. He hasbeen secretary and president of theWashington club.Brother Summers came to Washingtonin 1887 and the following yearbecame a co-founder of the AlumniClub. He retired from 30 years servicein the War Department in 1917.Major Robert Y. Stuart, Dickinson,'03, might well claim—and his friendsprobably do claim for him—to be oneof the foremost experts on forestry inthe entire country. The claim couldeasily be substantiated as he has hada long, varied, and noteworthy careerin such work. After being graduatedfrom Dickinson he received an M.F.degree from the Yale UniversityForest School in 1906. Early in thecourse of the War he was commissioneda captain of engineers for serviceoverseas. In September, 1917Brother Stuart was sent to France,first for service at Paris and later atTours, where he assisted in the acquisitionof timber for the ForestEngineers. He became a major inOctober, 1918 and before his return inJune, 1919 to the United States occupiednumerous commands of responsibility.Brother Stuart was appointed deputycommissioner for forestry of Pennsylvaniain May, 1920, returned to theU. S. Forest Service in 1927 as chiefof the branch of public relations, andin May, 1928 was made chief of theU. S. Forest Service. He is a memberof the National Capital Park andPlanning Commission, chairman of theForest Protection Board, member ofthe executive council of the Societyof American Foresters, etc., etc.In Isaac R. Hitt, Northwestern, '88,is to be found another Phi who hascombined public and semi public servicein the nation's capital with outstandingservice to his Fraternity.From 1891 to 1894 he served as Treasurerof the General Council, and duringthose years his voice was aninfluential one in the affairs of theFraternity. He has been a Washingtonresident for thirty-five years. Heserved as Major Judge Advocate duringthe World War and in 1925 wasappointed judge of the police court forthe District of Columbia by PresidentCoolidge. His legal training he gainedin the Kent College of Law. BrotherHitt has numerous Masonic and otheraffiliations in Washington.Charles S. Hatfield, Hanover, '04,is a judge of the U. S. Court of CustomsAppeals in Washington, wherehe has been serving since his appointmentby President Harding in Marchof 1923. Like a number of otherBuckeyes he migrated to the smallsouthern Indiana college for hisundergraduate work, and later tookwork at Indiana University and OhioState University, receiving his lawdegree from the latter institution in1907. He then began his practice oflaw in his native state, worked his wayup through the various ranks of theofficial and political world in Ohio,became a prosecuting attorney, was Republicanstate chairman in 1916, andwent to Washington during the Hardingadministration.Alongside Brother Stuart in hisinterest and activity in forestry workmay be mentioned Hugh Potter Baker,Michigan State, '01. Brother Bakerfirst attended Macalester College andlater went to Michigan State where hebecame a member of Michigan Beta.From 1901 to 1904 he attended Yale.Ten years were spent with the U. S.Forest Service examining public landsfor forest reserves in Idaho, Wyoming,Nebraska, Washington, andOregon. He was professor of forestryor silviculture at Iowa State College,Pennsylvania College, and the NewYork State College of Forestry atvarious times. From 1920 to 1928Brother Baker held the responsibleposition of executive secretary of theAmerican Paper and Pulp Association,and since the latter date he has beenaffiliated with the United States Chamberof Commerce.[356]

What Is Scholarship?(Reprinted from theWashingtonian)I HE matter of scholarship and researchseems to be one of the fundamentalquestions which ever needsnew clarification and exposition betweenuniversity communities and thegeneral public. The main concept ofeducation is bound up, in the minds ofmost collegiate teachers, with scholarshipand research. Definitions areoften in consequence desirable, in orderto bring about a proper understandingof the values and aims ofhigher education.Most education finds its highest conceptionin its indirect values. Theformulation of its aims is bound to bedifficult, not only because of a certainnecessary amount of intangibility butalso because of the varying opinionsbrought to bear upon an objective ofthis kind. The value of a vocationalwork and training should not be deniedor minimized by anyone. It isonly a truism to state how far ourpresent achievements in industry andengineering rest thereon, but the ultimateadvances into fields "of diminishingreturns" must depend in great partupon the super-scientist who worksnot for a definite goal but to ascertainthe unknown and the hitherto incomprehensiblein the field of science andknowledge.It is only through an untrammeledoutlook and through an absolutely unbiasedconception of his task that thescholar can attain the best results. Itshould be immaterial to him whetherthese results are practical or not. Heshould not be compelled to test hiswork by a definite monetary value orto feel that he must be guided in hislines of endeavor by the necessity ofBy GEORGE R. THROOP, DePauzv, '01Chancellor, IVashington University[397]quick results or practical values. Itis only in this way that a scholarshipof the highest significance can be attained.Scholarship is a reaching forthe highest of which the mind of manis capable. It is of itself a trainingin character as well as in method orcontent. The perfection of method andthe reaching of the highest known inany field are values rather than aims,apart from any results which can befound.There is, of course, no higher functionthan to transmit knowledge andno more valuable experience than toacquire it. It is only thereby that ourentire civilization can become progressiveand cumulative. The preservationof the experience and philosophyof the past is the only sure departurefor the activities of the present and thefuture.Scholarship is not necessarily research,and research need not alwaysbe scholarship, but in actual fact it ishard to think of competent researchwithout the basis of high scholarship,which after all only means the properpreparation for the work to be done.Scholarship may not lead to research,but it affords the only secure startingpoint for it. The advancement ofknowledge for its own sake is theproper function of research. The acquisitionof knowledge for its ownsake is the ideal of scholarship.It is true, of course, that researchseems to have a more practical bearingthan scholarship and that the lattercan be and often is belittled in comparison.But from scholarship shouldcome the desire and incentive for research,and the accomplishments of

THESCROLLPHI DELTA THETAresearch continually add to the totalof our scholarly knowledge.There is no doubt that today moreinterest exists both in scholarship andresearch than ever before in history.The recognition of the high aims andMarch, 1931ultimate values to be furtheredthrough the acquisition and advancementof knowledge is one of the finestindications of an understanding of theproper function of institutions ofhigher education.Miller of Oregon to hieadBig Forensic UndertakingKoBERT MILLER, Oregon, '31, has thehonor to be the initiator of the largestforensic undertaking ever to beattempted by a university.

The Royal Purple of FraternalismI HE American, it seems, is almost instinctivelya "joiner." Our backwoodsgrandparents might have said "jiner."but still even they "jined." This gregariousexpression finds outlet in allsorts of societies, clubs, vereins, sodalities,auxiliaries, phalanges, circles,coteries, guilds and what have you.On the other hand they may bedignified and high-minded. The joininginstinct is not necessarily an indicationof puerility or an attributeof college days. It might be Menckenisticto lift an eyebrow at organizationsof the sort, but the large rosters,lodge buildings, and influence ofthese groups bespeak the popular mindin regard to them.The oldest, largest, wealthiest, andbest known of such fraternal organizationsis the Masonic fraternity. Thesuperlatives are not inspired by a patriotismtraceable to membership thereinbut are generally conceded facts,granted even by other fraternal orderswhich are, incidentally, patternedlargely after Masonry. In its presentform Freemasonry dates back morethan two hundred years and individuallodges have a much longer history.There would be little point in rehearsingin detail an account of theform which Masonry takes. Probablythousands of the alumni of * A 0are familiar with it through membershipin the organization. The basisof Masonry is, of course, the "bluelodge," presenting the degrees of "symbolic"Masonry. Upon this foundationthe architects of the organizationhave erected a superstructure whichextends through many more than thefoundational three degrees. Therehave in the past been a number of"rites" or groups of higher degrees.[399]By RUSSELL H. FITZGIBBONHanover, '24At present the ones most familiar andwidespreading are the York or AmericanRite and the Scottish Rite. Thelatter, one of the younger rites, is themost universal branch of Masonry,having its governing bodies, "SupremeCouncils," in most of the civilized sectionsof the world.All of the degrees exemplified by theYork Rite and twenty-nine of thethirty exemplified by the Scottish Rite(excluding the three of the "bluelodge," of course) are granted uponpetition. The Scottish Rite's "thirtythirdand last degree" is never sogranted, however. (It is "last" now,although in former centuries charlatanicdegree hawkers invented riteswith as many as ninety-nine degrees.)The "thirty-third" comes only for serviceto the order in a degree withwhich few if any fraternal honors canbe compared. It is the ne plus ultra ofFreemasonry, the summit of all thatcan come to an individual from fraternalorders of the United States. Allhis life the active and honored Masonmay remain a "thirty-second" and sufferno discredit; but if he is electedto take the long step up to the pinnacleof the last degree he becomesin truth a wearer of the royal purpleof Masonry.Forty-three living members of ^ A ©(according to the latest available records)have achieved this eminence.Twenty-two of them are in the "SouthernMasonic Jurisdiction" (the territorysouth of the Ohio River and theMason and Dixon line and west of theMississippi River) and twenty-one inthe "Northern Masonic Jurisdiction"(the rest of the states). We can takejustifiable pride in these men whohonor the rolls of thirty-third degree

Al umniDiamond fans in Texas have beenjustly proud of the baseball prowessof Carl Reynolds, Southwestern, '26,outfielder with the Chicago White Sox.Sporting News recently paid him awell deserved tribute, quoted in part:"Without any trumpeting to herald hisadvance, Carl Reynolds, White Soxoutfielder, in just four years out ofcollege, has moved up into the selectcircle of hitters and, despite the necessityof running his race with a teamapparently not in his class, he is pickedby many experts to rival such stars asBabe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx,and Al Simmons this season. Beingyoung, he will be 27 on February 1,Reynolds has time to travel far and ifhe continues the gait he has set duringhis brief service with the White Soxpromises to attain records that fewhave reached."Reynolds has all the assets to makea successful ball player. Standing sixfeet tall, and weighing 194 pounds, andpossessing a keen batting eye and apair of legs that have registered 100yards in 10 seconds, Carl is generouslyequipped as an athlete. Four years ofathletics at Southwestern University,where he was a four-letter man, gaveCarl the training that enabled him tomake good immediately with the WhiteSox in 1929, after one year of seasoningwith Palestine."the United States Shipping Board) hadthe greatest confidence in him andspoke his name only in high admirationand perfect reliance.

Chapter GrandLt. General Edgar B. Jadwin,Lafayette^ '88The country at large was shockedby word of the death of LieutenantGeneral Edgar B. Jadwin, Lafayette,'88, which occurred in Panama City,March 2, 1931. One of the most distinguishedof present-day Phis, GeneralJadwin had brought great honorto the fraternity as he was creditedwith being one of the ablest engineersin the world.The Associated Press account of hispassing follows:Panama City,March 2.—LieutenantGeneral EdgarB. Jadwin, U.S.A.,retired, formerchief of engineersof the Army diedunexpectedly of acerebral hemorrhagein GorgasHospital here atfive o'clock this afternoon.General JadwinLT. GENERAL E. B. came here February25 in connecJADWINtion with a meeting to determine whethera Nicaraguan canal shall be built to relieveinteroceanic commerce or whetherthe Panama Canal shall be fitted out witha new set of locks.The body will be sent to the UnitedStates on the transport St. Mihicl tomorrow.The body of Major GeneralGeorge Leroy Irwin, who died recently,will be on the same vessel.The name of Edgar B. Jadwin is connectedwith some of the most importantengineering enterprises and projects ofthis country. He is credited with housingthe American Expeditionary Forces;it was his plan for flood control on theMississippi which was adopted by Congressafter the 1927 flood; as consultingengineer of the Meadows ReclamationCommission he was author of the recentlyannounced plan for creating a newport city on the Hackensack Meadows; itwas he who built the Galveston sea wall.In July, 1930, President Hoover pickedhim as chairman of the Federal PowerCommission. He was a member of theSt. Lawrence Power Commission andproponent of the plan for a dam betweenMassena, New York, and Cornwall, Ontario.As chairman of the Inter-OceanicCanal Board he sailed for Panama February17 and was to advise Congress asto whether a new canal through Nicaraguashould be undertaken or the PanamaCanal enlarged. Three members ofthe board are said to have reported aNicaraguan canal feasible from an engineeringpoint of view.General Jadwin was called from retirementby President Hoover to becomechairman of the newly created FederalPower Commission in July, 1930. Thisbody was one of the pet projects of theengineer-President and superseded anagency consisting of the Secretaries ofWar, Agriculture, and Interior, who, exofficio,had been trying for ten years tosupervise the granting of power developmentpermits on navigable streams andpublic lands of the United States.President Hoover believed that the secretarieshad too many other duties toperform to permit them to give powerproblems the close attention that theseprojects merited. Since the army engineershad been used as the field force ofthe secretaries, he turned to a formerchief of that branch of the military servicefor the chairmanship of the new commission.In picking General Jadwin he selectedan officer of proved skill and energy.His record included work on the PanamaCanal and on many river and harborprojects, reaching its height when the"Jadwin plan" was applied to the ^^fississippi.This was one of the largest singleprojects ever undertaken by the Americangovernment. It called for expenditureof $325,000,000 and was broughtbefore Congress after a series of disastrousinundations had focused national[ 405]attention on the flood problem alongthe country's greatest waterway. It provokedmonths of bitter controversy,

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA March, 1931struggling for approval with a counterplan urged by the Mississippi RiverCommission and involving a cost of$775,000,000.Administration support was given tothe Jadwin scheme and it went throughCongress. It passed the Senate, in fact,without a dissenting vote, although minusa proposal by President Coolidge that thestates and communities directly benefitedshould bear a fifth of the cost.When the plan was formulated GeneralJadwin was chief of army engineerswith the rank of Major General, a posthe had filled since June 27, 1926. Hisplan approved and the groundwork laidfor actual construction, he retired August7, 1929, with the rank of LieutenantGeneral and took up residence at Sewickley,Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh.Mississippi River flood control was notthe only major project with which GeneralJadwin was concerned. Canalizationof the Ohio River, acclaimed as aproject likely to revivify river transportationin the great manufacturing andagricultural territory tributary to thatstream, was finished under his administration.He also had credited to his recordthe building of the massive sea wallat Galveston, Texas; construction of thebreakwater at Colon protecting the Atlanticentrance to the Panama Canal, andexcavation of the sea-level stretch of thecanal from the Atlantic to Gatun. Hewas responsible, too, for providing thethousands of tons of rock and sand inconstruction of the locks and spillway atGatun.His war experience was confined to engineeringwork rather than with combattroops. He commanded the battalion of"Matanzas mule" fame in Cuba afterthe American bombardment of that townand was responsible for the sanitationwork there after the close of the Spanish-AmericanWar.In the World War he organized andcommanded the I5th Engineers, a railwayunit and the first American contingentto pass through England underarms. In France he first was director oflight railways and roads for the A.E.F.and later was director of constructionand forestry. At one time he commanded160,000 men engaged in building railways,roads, bridges, barracks, warehouses,and hospitals.General Jadwin was born at Honesdale,Pennsylvania, August 7, 1865. Heput in two years at Lafayette College,Easton, Pennsylvania, then went to WestPoint, where he graduated at the head ofhis class in 1890.He was a first lieutenant when theSpanish-American War broke out andhe emerged from the conflict as lieutenant-colonelof volunteers. By 1913he had attained that rank in the regulararmy, was a temporary brigadier generalin the World War and achieved his major-generalshipwhen made chief of theEngineer Corps.He was awarded the DistinguishedService Medal by the United States,made a Companion of the Bath by GreatBritain and a commander of the Legionof Honor by France.General Jadwin was married October6, 1896, to Miss Jean Laubach whom hemet while he was a student at LafayetteCollege.Death Shocks WashingtonWashington, March 2.—Official Washingtonwas shocked tonight to learn ofthe unexpected death in Panama City ofLieutenant General Edgar B. Jadwin,former chief of Army Engineers. Thefeeling was particularly keen in view ofthe necessary termination of GeneralJadwin's important mission in CentralAmerica to survey the Panama Canallooking to important changes. He wasconsidered unusually well fitted for thework and the expectation was that somedifficulty would be encountered in securinganother man to carry on this farreachingwork.Major General Lytel Brown, the presentchief of engineers, paid tribute tohis predecessor's ability tonight, expressinga deep feeling of regret at his passing.He was firm in his belief that, morethan any other person in the nation, GeneralJadwin was fitted for the work whichlay before him with canal surveys. Hespoke feelingly of General Jadwin'syears of work with the Army, addingthat he personally would feel the loss tono small extent.• • •Franklin G. Tingley, Purdue, '93Franklin G.

VOLUMKLV THE SCROLL ^-"^PHI DELTA THETAEditoricIt becomes the sad duty of the Editor of THE SCROLL to announce tothe fraternity the death of Kathryn Paul Urion, wife of the immediatePast President of the General Council, Henry K. Urion. Mrs. Urion diedat the Evanston Hospital March 28 as the result of a major operation.The funeral services were held at Christ Church, Winnetka, Illinois,March 30, where a host of friends gathered to listen to the simple butappropriate rites and to pay their last respects.Mrs. Urion was in every sense a Phi Delt girl. Her two brothers, thelate Philip B. Paul, .Dartmouth, '06, and Richard F. Paul, Dartmouth, 'II,were interested members of New Hampshire Alpha and Brother Urionbecame acquainted with her through them. She was a visitor at severalconventions, and those who were at Detroit will remember her lively interestin all that went on. She leaves three sons, Paul, Kimball, and Phil.THE SCROLL extends the heartfelt sympathy of all Phis to BrotherUrion in his bereavement.Delta Tau Delta recently withdrew the charter of its chapter at \'anderbiltUniversity. This chapter had been in existence for many years butthe action was taken by the fraternity because of a consistent disregardfor the national fraternity, its ideals and its laws.In a formal statement, the Delts say that they had made every eflfortover a period of over ten years to bring the chapter into line but the attempthad not been productive of success. They had appealed to the chapteritself, they had tried to organize the alumni and acquaint them with theseriousness of the situation. Nothing they could do seemed to bring aboutany improvement so they decided to acknowledge defeat and retire fromthe field.Much as we deplore the necessity for that action b\ another fraternitywe cannot help but admire the Delts for the courage they exhibited. Fraternitiesare not trying to produce a standard article but they do have toinsist upon an adherence to the principles of decency and loyalty whichcharacterize gentlemen.[459]

Vol. LV, No. 7captains of their respective teams andone is a captain elect. Everything elsebeing equal the difference between afirst and second rate team dependsupon its brains and the captain usuallysupplies the brains.Because of the unusually good materialthis year I have selected eightmen on each team—three forwards,two centers, and three guards. Leadingthe list of excellent forwards are Bishop,captain of Kansas; Sanford, captainof Georgia; and Elbert Kamp,captain-elect of Illinois. Tom Bishop,second high-point man in the Big Sixconference and only unanimous all-starchoice in that league, heads the fieldof forwards. He does everything well—floor play, basket shooting, foulthrowing, and defensive work. ElbertKamp, captain-elect and high scorerof the "Fighting Illini" team, thatshould have won the Big Ten save forrestraints of a mediocre coaching staff;and "Sandy" Sanford, captain ofGeorgia and all-southern forward areplaced at the other forward positions.Both these players are leaders in theirterritory and high scoring aces. Otherbrothers who are deserving of honoron any team are: "Bill" Rohlffs, Montana;Adkins, South Dakota; PetrieMichigan; Raffety, Arizona; Rupe,Denison; Light, Minnesota; Hove,Whitman; and Stevens, Oregon.THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETACenter position this year is takencare of excellently. The class of thefield is Gordon of Washington State,six-foot-five-inch 200-pound sophomore,who was high scoring individualon the coast. Gordon was this year'ssensation—he was unstopable andwas never outjumped. Reynolds, captainof the excellent Stanford team,was not far behind Gordon in allaroundplay. He is a sure shot, an excellentfree throw artist, incomparablein floor play and defensive work.Wilson, Centre; Monier, Williams;Johnson, Kansas; Rockwell, Hanover;Russell, Ohio State; Sawyer, Brown;and Benham, Cincinnati, are other centersdeserving of praise.The most difficult decision this yearwas the selection of three guards froma list composed of Fish, Chicago;Baker, Pittsburgh; Grayson, OregonState; Nelson, Washington; Cameron,Case; Waters, Florida; Larkins, OhioState; Robertshaw, Duke; and Goodson,Davidson. "Eddie" Baker, co-captainof the splendid Pittsburgh Pantherteam, leads the guards again thisyear. He is one of the outstanding Phiathletes of all time, being the only oneto make both the first All-Phi footballand basketball teams this season. Fish,captain of the Chicago team, was anoutstanding performer on a mediocreteam. He excelled at free throws, makingabout 80 per cent of all his efiforts.As a floor guard he scored frequentlyin every game often outscoring his forward.Grayson, the high scoring lefthandedguard of the strong OregonAggies team, led that team in scoringas a guard, and is awarded the otherguard position on the first team. Grayson,of Oregon Aggies, and Baker, ofPittsburgh were both honored on theCollege Humor All-American squadlast season.As a whole, considering the strengthof the first team and the excellent reservestrength, ^ A 0 may be veryproud indeed of its basketball showing.[465]

Tennessee Alpha LosesThree Stellar PhisWITHIN recent months $ A 0 haslost three of her outstanding alumniwho were members of Tennessee Alpha.A brief account of each of theselamented brothers is here given.William R. Manier, Sr.,Vanderbilt, 81At the age of 69, William R. Manier,Senior, Vanderbilt, '81, splendid citizen,Christian gentleman and belovedalumnus of Tennessee -Alpha, at hishome in Nashville passed suddenly intothe Chapter Grand on January 17,1931. He was survived by his wife,Mrs. Mary Owsley Manier, and fourchildren, William R. Manier, Jr., Vanderbilt,'08, Dr. J. Owsley Manier,Vanderbilt, '07, Miller Manier, Vanderbilt,'17, and Mrs. Mary LindaCooper, wife of William P. Cooper,Vanderbilt, '08; and by his brotlier,James W. Manier, Vanderbilt, '89.For sixteen years Brother Manierwas the secretary of the Chamber ofCommerce of Nashville. He was foremostin many constructive civic movements—theMuscle Shoals Association,the formation of the Community Chest,the establishment of the Nashville IndustrialCorporation which led to theestablishment of the great DuPontRayon plants at Old Hickory; the promotionof public health work and farmdemonstration work. He renderedvaluable aid to organized charities.He was an organizer and influentialmember of the Southern CommercialOrganization Secretaries' Association.In earlier years Brother Manier,with his father and brother, was apartner in a wholesale shoe houseBy JOHN H. DEWITT, P.P.G.C.Vanderbilt, '94[469]which conducted a large business inthe Southern territory. No citizen ofNashville had more real friends or enjoyeda greater confidence on the partof the people. Brother Manier wasone of those fine souls that by theirgenerosity and lack of dissimulationattract people and hold for all timetheir friendship and confidence. Hewas an active member of the MethodistChurch. He was for over fiftyyears a loyal * A 0. His delightfulhome was a gathering-place for manyof the boys of Tennessee Alpha. Itwas through his interest and financialaid, together with that of his intimatefriend, Walter B. Palmer, that the lotwas acquired upon which stands thechapter house of Tennessee Alpha.His generous and sympathetic interestin the boys of each generation inspiredin them an exalted respect anda personal devotion. The death ofBrother Manier evoked many fineeulogies of him, in the press, thechurch, and in civic bodies. A truefriend of many and a useful servantof his fellow men had passed—"thememory as a cloudless air, the conscienceas a sea at rest.''Alfred E. Howell, Vanderbilt, '82On January 25, 1931, Alfred E.Howell, Vanderbilt, '82, died suddenlyin his native city of Nashville. Hewas survived by his wife, Mrs. JennieThompson Howell, and five children,Morton B. Howell, Vanderbilt, '07,Mrs. Paul Bartles, Mrs. EsmondEwing, Mrs. Clopper -\lmon, and MissIsabel Howell. He was a brother ofJudge R. B. C. Howell, of Nashville,

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETA April, 1931ALFRED E. HOWELLVanderbilt, '82and an uncle of the seven Adamsbrothers, all of whom are alumni ofTennessee Alpha. He showed constantlyhis devotion to * il 0, and thefine hospitality of his home was enjoyedby the Phis of each generation.Of the splendid life and character ofBrother Howell, the following editorialfrom the Nashville Banner affordsa just estimate:Alfred E. Howell, whose sudden deathyesterday was a painful shock to his multitudeof friends, was a man rarely endowedwith unusual talents of mind andheart. Then, even as Mr. Howell possessedmore varied abilities than aregranted men as a rule, so did he use themwith more energy and enthusiasm than isordinarily the case. The result was a lifeof peculiar richness and value both to theman who live

The new president becamea member in 1918.In addition to his activities as comptrollerof Duke, Dr. Brown is a widely-knownauthority on Shakespeare,and many students come here forstudy of the famous English writerunder the excellent teaching of theDuke professor.Although he has many other activities,the newly elected president ofOAK also finds time to take an activepart in the affairs of North CarolinaAlpha of $ A 0.OAK was founded with two chiefpurposes in mind, that of encouragingleadership in five different fields ofactivity and that of effecting an organizationthat would serve as a linkbetween students and those representingthe administrative policies. .A.charter will not be granted to any institutionunless the president or rankingadministrative officer is among thepetitioners as a charter member.The five fields in which students mayattain leadership meriting recognitionby the fraternity are scholarship, forensicactivities, journalism, social usefulness,and athletics.Membership in a circle of O A K[471]means the opportunity and the obligationfor effective work in the causes ofthe institution at which the circle issituated. The truth held uppermost bymembers of the organization is thatvirtue is its own reward and that therecan be no higher satisfaction that cancome to any man than the accomplishmentof good for his alma mater.DR.

THE SCROLLPHI DELTA THETAwould do credit to the banker thatBrother Hardt is. For he isn't only atournament manager—he is also thevice-president of the Fidelity-PhiladelphiaTrust Company, one of the largestand strongest of the Quaker Cityfinancial institutions.Statistics are usually more or lessof a bore, but in the case of the NationalAmateur they tell the magnitudeof the event in vivid fashion. Ten committeeshandled the details of the arrangements.These ran all the wayfrom preparing billiard-table surfacesfor the greens to sending out wholereams of advance "copy" for thepapers and press associations.Road maps were made, parkingplaces prepared, caddies retained anddrilled, programs printed, suppliesbought, refreshment stands erected,guides and guards instructed. For protectionof tees and greens and for aidingthe gallery marshals the clubbought 33,000 feet of rope and 1,000stakes. During the first tw-o days 248caddies were used.In the golf house 5,220 meals wereserved during the week of the tournament.The refreshment tent helpedout in supplying the inner man by furnishing8,441 sandwiches, 4,800 hotdogs, and 3,641 cakes of ice cream.April, 1931Naturally, the press room in the clubhouse was a busy place. It was BobbyJones against the field, and the worldwanted to know about it. In all, seventy-fivesports writers and three newsservices filed through this room 2,225-000 words describing the tournament.Thousands of other words were sentfrom downtown offices.Temporary magneto telephones wereinstalled at four of the greens. Leasedcircuits had to be arranged for broadcastingfacilities. Sound movie truckswere on hand. Sale of tickets was nosmall item; 3,109 season and 16,796daily tickets were sold.Naturally, Brother Hardt didn'tattend to all these details himself. Thatisn't the mark of a good executive. Thesuccessful executive knows how todelegate detail but must himself assumethe responsibility therefor. Andask any of those who had a personalacquaintance with the tournament,from the lowiest caddy to the presidentof the U.S.G.A., whether BrotherHardt's management wasn't somethingthe Merion Cricket Club can be proudof.The illustration shows ChairmanHardt of the tournament committeeand Champion Bobby Jones at the clubhouse.Fifth Consecutive Championshipfor Minnesota Alpha(Continued from page 468)[474]will also be augmented with this year'spledge class who won their divisioncompetition in the pledge race.The Minnesota Daily picked GeraldGriffin for one of the guard positionson its all-university mythical basketballteam.

VOLUMELV THE SCROLL ^^^PHI DELTA THETAEditorialThe selective system is in full operation in most American colleges ofany importance. The system has been invoked long enough to show thata higher precentage of those who enter go through to graduation andthat there is a greater interest in the scholastic side of college life.Fraternities are beginning to benefit by the situation but it is surprisingthat in so many cases chapters are not taking full advantage of it. Mostcolleges know months in advance of entrance exactly who will make upthe incoming freshman class. The coniplete individual records of the newstudents are on file in the college offices and are available for all fraternities,yet a large number of our chapters admit that they make nouse of this invaluable information. They continue to take a chance in thegrab-bag of fall rushing and are then disappointed when the men with onlyfair high school records keep the chapter scholarship average down.This is intended to be a plea to rushing chairmen to begin now to getthe dope on the men who are coming to your college next fall. No matterwhat other qualities they may have, if you can see that they will notmake the scholastic grade of your institution don't burden yourself withthem. If a boy has been frivolous in high school the chances are very muchagainst his being any different in college. A fraternity chapter is not areform school: it cannot make character; it can only help to develop it.Equally important as the selection of men is the selection of leaders.In most chapters officers for next year are being elected and because thefall semester is an important one too much care cannot be exercised in thepicking of these officers.The only consideration that ought to count is the man's fitness for thejob. Choose a president who is a real leader if you have one. His is a greatresponsibility; he should be looked up to and followed. It has been saidthat undergraduates are not capable of conducting their own financialaffairs and this seems to be the case in some instances. Your treasurer,therefore, should be chosen for his business ability, his firmness of purposeand because he is willing to do the large amount of work necessary toIceep the records properly.The successful handling of a chapter office is excellent training for theindividual. Don't accept a position of trust unless you are prepared to gothrough what is necessary to carry it out properly.[491]

FITZGIBBONHanover, '24b KEPTics—and those not so thoroughlyacquainted with the fraternitysystem—sometimes ask the question,how can fraternities justify themselves?Numerous answers have been given.Examples are rife from within thewalls of * A 0 itself. It might be theinstance of Massachusetts Beta infinancing for Amherst College anarcheological expedition to the farWest. Or it might be the case of OhioIota at Denison in adopting a boyfrom a family of eleven children, themother of whom was unable to supportthem adequately.Another answer is now given.It is found in the splendid work ofthe fraternities at the University ofWest Virginia in caring for the needyin Morgantown and the vicinity. Thework is not that alone of West VirginiaAlpha, but it is of peculiar interestto us because it was initiatedby Orren L. Jones, treasurer of WestVirginia Alpha and a leader on theWest Virginia campus.The fraternity chapters in the WestVirginia University Buyers' Associationhave jointly agreed to distributea number of meals to undernourishedpersons in Monongahela County, thework to be undertaken in connectionwith local social service authorities.During March the fraternities of thecampus were handing out a total ofsome three hundred meals a week, assuredlyno small item. Brother Jones,chairman of the association, has beenin general charge of the work.Many of the small children in thevicinity were suffering from ricketsbecause they had had practically nothingto eat through the winter, exceptflour or starchy foods. Several of thesechildren have been among the recipientsof the generosity of the fraternitychapters.[494]

JUDGE HERBERT B. RUDOLPH, South Dakota, '16Supreme Court of South Dakota

South Dakota Phi, 37 Years OldAppointed to State Supreme CourtBy HARVEY J. GUNDERSONSouth Dakota, '28U F UNUSUAL INTEREST to Phis everywhere,is the appointment of HerbertB. Rudolph, South Dakota, '16, to thesupreme court of the state of SouthDakota by Governor Warren E. Greenduring the early part of April thisspring. The interest lies not only inthe fact that * A 0 now lists anothersupreme court justice in membership,for there are many, but becauseBrother Rudolph at the time of hisappointment was thirty-seven yearsof age, making him the youngest justiceupon the bench, and so far as isknown the youngest justice ever tobe appointed to that body. It is notdifficult to believe that he is one ofthe youngest men to receive appointmentto such a position in any supremecourt of the country.Despite his youthfulness BrotherRudolph is eminently qualified for hisposition because of his training heretoforeon lower benches of the judiciary.Following thirteen monthsservice in the World War as a lieutenantof field artillery and a year'spractice of law, he was the countyjudge of Lincoln County, South Dakota,from 1920 to 1924. In 1924 hebecame judge of the circuit court forthe Second Judicial Circuit for SouthDakota, which position he resigned in1929 to re-establish his private practiceat Canton, South Dakota. He hascontinued in private practice fromthat time until his present appointment.As to earlier years, "Herb" Ru-dolph finished Canton High School in1912 and immediately matriculated tothe University of South Dakota in thefall of the same year, becoming apledge of $ A 0 following his entrance.During his undergraduate lifehe was unusually active in the fraternity,giving him an extraordinaryinterest in chapter activities which hestill maintains. His legal training wasaccomplished at the University ofMichigan from which he secured hisLL.B. in 1918 and at which institutionhe was a member of * A 4> legalfraternity. He was born May 22, 1894.Judge Rudolph is exceptionally wellknown among the bar of South Dakotaand has their solid support inhis new position. He enjoys a widespreaduniversal friendship that wouldbe unusual in a much older man, onewho had had the opportunity for morecontacts. This friendship is multipliedin intensity, quite naturally, with thealumni and members of South DakotaAlpha as well as Phis from otherchapters living within the state. Hefrequently is seen at the chapter houseand seldom fails to attend alumnihomecomings at the house on everyand all occasions. Ardently supportingprojects of the fraternity, he hasreceived recognition within it comparableto that received in his profession.It is of interest to note that JudgeRudolph has two brothers who areboth Phi Delts from South Dakotaand practicing medicine.[497]

Alumni ClubsBaltimore, MarylandBrother Robert E. Haas, President ofthe General Council, was the principalspeaker at the Club's dinner in April.He spoke of the problems confrontingour fraternity and of its plans for developmentand the future.On the first of May, Maryland Alphaentertained the Club at dinner in theChapter House at College Park. RetiringPresident William Robinson acted astoastmaster for a program of an hour'sduration, during which remarks byBrothers Appleman and Bruce, facultyadvisers, and Shorb, of the WashingtonAlumni, were greatly enjoyed.Later in the evening members of theClub held an impromptu entertainmentin Baltimore, From high authority welearn that Ostertag again gave the party.Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAnything we might say about theFounders' Day dinner now would scarcelybe news, but it is necessary to recordthat it surpassed all previous dinners inmany particulars, notably the charmingsurroundings and the lively spirit thatprevailed. For the rest of our accountlet It suffice that the entertainment—fromour active men and also from the professionals—wasfine; the speeches were excellent,the prizes handsome, and therazzberries thoroughly enjoyable.The officers elected have already madea fine start on the work of a new year.The slate elected is as follows: president,Edward N. McMillan, Dartmouth,'01; vice-president, Howard M. Van-Gelder, Brown, '97; secretary, Wm. B.Steele, Penn State, '20; treasurer. Dr.H. H. Parcher, Jr., Penn, '21: directors,Geo. T. Street, Jr., Denison, '18; FrankM. Hardt, Penn, '01; Thomas R. Mar[543]shall, Brown, '07; Wm. R. Main, Allegheny,'07; Rev. John W. Elliott, Colgate,'16; Richard W. Slocum, Swarthmore,'22.Edward N. McMillan, Dartmouth, '01,served his chapter as its president andalso by laboring on the building committeefor the first of the more thanfifteen fraternity houses now on theDartmouth campus. Entering the investmentbanking business in New York, hecame to Philadelphia as manager of theboard department of Winthrop Smith andCompany, in 1908. He was then associatedwith Barclay, Moore and Company, ofPhiladelphia until 1928 when he formedthe firm of McMillan and Rhodes. Heis one of the group of Phis who maketheir headquarters in the Fidelity-PhiladelphiaBuilding. Brother McMillan hasbeen very active In alumni matters of hisalma mater, serving as president of theDartmouth Alumni Association of Philadelphiafrom 1918 to 1921, and is a trusteeof the scholarship fund of that organization.His active participation in theaffairs of the Business Science Club ofthis city brought him its presidency in1924-25. We could hardly be expected tooverlook this habit he has acquired, andhe was drafted into the leadership of ourchapter with only one dissenting voice,his own. He considers a matter withcalm deliberation and then speaks withassuring conviction. Between serious momentshis infectious good humor assertsitself to win immediate response from agroup. The first reaction to his dignifiedbearing gives way to the impulse to callhim "Ed" or "Mac."GEORGE T. STREET, JR.Seattle, WashingtonThe Phi Delta Theta Alumni Club ofSeattle, Washington, celebrated Founders'Day with its usual annual banquetthis year in the Rose Room of the ButlerHotel. Entertainment was furnished bythe Ebony Bruisers, fresh from Broadway,and consisted mainly of melodioustenors and soft-shoe dancers.
