THE SCROLL 257the high school societies and are backing up the stand taken by PhiDelta Theta. Members of other fraternities and the public prints haveunited in commending the legislation which outlaws the high schoolorganizations and no doubt other college fraternities will enact similarlegislation. It was a happy suggestion which brought representativenational officers of Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi upon the floor ofthe convention at Chicago. These gentlemen not only representedtheir fraternities but also the Interfraternity Council and Phi DeltaTheta again took the lead in this great movement among the fraternitieswhen the convention accredited delegates to represent officially theFraternity in future interfraternity meetings. The older delegateswere convinced that the young men of the Fraternity were setting thestakes of Phi Delta Theta far into the future and that the work of theFraternity would go on in enthusiastic and competent hands. Menwho have attended conventions regularly stated they never saw sucha convention. It was all worth doing.ON account of the abundance of material available for this issueof THE SCROLL it has been impossible to use it all. The conventionhas crowded out, for the time being, almost everything else and evensome convention items have had to go over to a later issue, and thisincludes biographical sketches of our new general officers. Howeverwe hope in the March number to print these as well as some descriptionsof new houses, accounts of our new chapters, their installationand the colleges we are about to enter. We sometimes are at a lossto find sufficient copy and at others are flooded with the very best;the present is one of the latter times for which we greatly rejoice.
