THE SCROLL 255ment to the books already mentioned as it will bring them both constantlyup to date and thereby give us the latest news of the wholefraternity world.We cannot too strongly recommend upon all our membership, andparticularly every one of our chapters, the immediate acquisition ofall these publications. Ordinarily we do not approve of using thisdepartment of THE SCROLL for advertising purposes, but we believethe coincidence in publication of three such invaluable aids to ourfraternity work is of itself a sufficient reason to here and now urgewith all the force at our command that, at least every one of ourchapters as such obtain all three of them forthwith. To all ouralumni who desire to keep in touch with fraternity affairs we makethe recommendation to DO IT NOW.THE thirty-second biennial national convention has come and gone.Its record is now made and we feel it is good. No Phi who had theprivilege and pleasure of attending either its business sessions or entertainmentscould help but be inspired to better things and greaterefforts toward the upbuilding of our beloved Fraternity. It was agreat convention in every sense of the word great. It was a comingtogether of more Phis than had ever before met at one time and oneplace. Its work was a long step in advance of any stand ever takenby any other similar organization, and as such our lead is assured forat least two more years. Its pleasures were things always to be rememberedby every one of us. We want, if permissible here to do so, onthe part of the whole of Phi Delta Theta, to thus pilblicly expressour thanks and appreciation to our hosts, the Chicago Alumni Clubas an organization, to its officers, who labored so hard and effectivelyto make this convention the success it was, and to its members individually,each of whom it was a pleasure to meet and from whomwe parted with regret.We, also on behalf of Phi Delta Theta, feel constrained to expressits deep appreciation for work well done by the delegates and participantsin the business of the convention. Evidently, from resultsaccomplished, our chapters and alumni clubs sent their best men tothe convention just closed. We are proud of them, of their conductand of their work. The best wish we can express for Phi DeltaTheta is that succeeding conventions may have their equal.
