He is a Past President of the General Counciland former editor of THE SCROLL. A legion of Phis who know him personally,and who recognize his very important services to the Fraternity inthe past will welcome him back to the States. Mrs. Mitchell and the three boysreturned in July, and spent the summer at the family's summer home at SpringLake, Mich. Brother Mitchell expects to stay several months in this country,and every Phi that knows him and that expects to attend the convention hopesthat he can arrange to remain until after the convention meets. He is theauthor of some of the most constructive legislation that has ever been adoptedby Phi Delta Theta, and a national convention would be far from completewithout his genial presence and the suggestions that emanate from his fertilebrain. While here his address will be Suite 801-3, Number 30 North La SalleStreet, Chicago. On September 4, Mrs. Mitchell gave birth to a girl at Evanston,111.
