Theydeal with what man has done and what he has found outabout the natural world. . . . The best start college can giveyou is to help you understand the important things—history,the masterpieces of literature and the arts, mathematical andnatural laws, and the few happenings in our own lifetimewhich have a clear meaning. A strong and lively teacher willteach any of these subjects in such a way that now and thenyou will see its relation to other courses and to life, evenyour o^vn life. . . .Your next four years may be made the most exciting andthe most rewarding you have yet known. Things will happento you within yourself which will call forth ability and powersyou never thought you possessed.

To put yourself in the way ofthe numerous discoveries which you may be able to make,it ^vill be important to find the people who can teach youwell—the instructors and the classmates.

Yates had been named on theWalker Cup team. He obtained leavefrom his job at the First National Bankof Atlanta and was finally to realize acherished ambition to play golf in Englandand in the British Amateur Tournament,which has always been so difficultfor American players. It was expectedthat he would play well in the Cupmatches, as he is a fine competitor, buteven the caddies at East Lake, his homecourse, would have made book againsthis winning the British Amateur. Notthat every dusky soul of them wasn'tYATES IN ACTION[3]

He hadwon for the American team in theWalker Cup matches of 1936.But there was one aspect concerningthe Yates game that had not been properlyconsidered. In the past few yearshe has revised his golf, slowly and painstakingly,under George Sargent, and theresult had begun to show. He was playingwell when he left home. His practicerounds at Troon were good and in theearly short matches he was seldom introuble. Luck would have it that thedraw first placed him opposite his teammate, Johnny Fisher; Charlie won at thenineteenth hole. Then came Frank Pennink,followed by three relatively unimportantmatches. After that in a rowcame Cyril Tolley, Hector Thomson, andCecil Ewing, four former champions, inthe eight matches.In winning, Yates produced a gamethat in the 142 holes of play scoredninety pars, twenty-three birdies, and aneagle. On the outgoing nine, which wasalways completed even in the shortmatches, he was nine under par for theweek. So Charlie Yates of East Lake andAtlanta had won the most difficult golfcompetition in the world and was tobring home the cup engraved with onemore American name.In the Walker Cup matches whichcame later, Yates's team won in the foursomeand in the singles he won over thenew Irish star, Bruen—a clean sweep inthe competition in England.At Troon, Charlie immediately becamethe favorite of the galleries. Hisfine sporting demeanor and infectiousfriendliness completely won the crowdsand when his competitive determinationpulled him from behind, they gave himtheir heart. At first the reporters dubbedhim the clown of the American team,but they immediately perceived a descriptiveerror. It was just that he was not selfconscious, liked people, appreciated thegood play of his opponents and toldthem so, was too natural and unawed tostand on his dignity.

The fun he got out of the wholething was evidenced once when he hadgraciously conceded a putt, and the holewith it, he knelt and sank the ball with

Bobby Jones was every boy's heroand Charlie Yates's Galahad. He wentto high school in Atlanta and was amember of the golf team. He played inall the local tournaments in the Statethat he could catch a ride to attend.When he reached college he was developinginto a player of the first rank andpredictions were being made about hisfuture.

Genesis of Phi Delta Theta in CanadaBy GEORGE ELLIOTT HOUSSER, McGill '06IN the fall of 1900, Charles AlbertRichardson, a graduate of Colby Collegeand a member of the Maine Alpha,entered McGill University to study medicine.At that time fraternities were representedin Canada only at the Universityof Toronto and at McGill. The Canadianfield had been pioneered, not as onemight have expected, by the younger andless conservative fraternities, but by K A,A A *, AY, A K E and Z *. In fact K A,the oldest of all fraternities, had two ofits eight chapters in Canada.Available records indicate that up tothe time Richardson entered McGill,$ A 0 had given little thought to enteringCanada. Richardson, however, soonformed the idea of getting together apetitioning body, and in the fall of 1900he succeeded in organizing a small butvery representative group, most of whomhad at one time or another received andrefused invitations to join one or otherof the fraternities already at McGill.The fraternity situation at McGill atthe beginning of the century was a peculiarone. The University was old andwell endowed. It had about two thousandmale students, a large percentage ofwhom were excellent fraternity material.Nevertheless, the average membership ofthe chapters there was below twenty-fiveand the total number of fraternity menless than ten per cent of the student body.The chapters at McGill found that theirgreatest difficulty lay, not in competitionone with the other, but in persuadingdesirable men that it was advantageousto join any fraternity. It therefore speaksvolumes for Richardson's personalityand perseverance that he was able togather round him such a strong andCHARTER MEMBERS AND INSTALLING OFFICERS OF QUEBEC ALPHASeated are the initiates: front row, Crowell and Rowlands: middle row, Dickson, Tilt, Lauchland,Sellery, Faulkner, and Thorpe.

The first four were members of theclass of 1903, and the others members ofthe class of 1904. The formal installationtook place April 5, 1902. The new chapterflourished from the beginning, andhas now had an uninterrupted andhonourable career for over thirty-sixyears. It has long been recognized, notonly as one of the leading chapters ofMcGill, but as one of the strong chapterso£ the Fraternity. It has built and ownsan attractive house on University Streetwithin a stone's throw of the campus.The welcome extended by the wholeFraternity to Quebec Alpha as the pioneerCanadian chapter was hearty andspontaneous. Letters and telegrams ofcongratulation came in large numbers,CHARTER MEMBERS OF ONTARIO ALPHA;

7 he SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for October, 1938and they forecast truly the fine fellowshipthat has always obtained betweenthe chapter and its neighbours. TheApril 1902 SCROLL devoted much spaceQUEBEC ALPHA'S HOUSE, MONTREALto accounts of the installation and laudatorydescriptions of McGill University.The urbane Hugh Th. Miller, then editor,included two long editorials, fromwhich the following are excerpts:"Quebec Alpha is not the first fraternitychapter placed in Canada, but itis the first chapter of our own Fraternityto be established there. The initiation atMontreal, therefore, on April 5, 1902,will go down in the history of $ A 0 asan event of first importance. . . . We donot recall that any charter ever grantedbetween conventions has received sonearly a unanimous vote as that withwhich the chapters ushered in QuebecAlpha. It is a happy augury. . . ."The Phis of McGill are thrice welcome—asfellow-Americans, as collegemen, and as Brothers in the Bond. Theyround out the many-ended character ofthe most national of American collegefraternities. No other fraternity that hasgone, or that can go, to Canada has thestrength in South and North and Westand East alike that abides in * A 0. Wehave been rightly credited, as the northernfraternity which has most southernchapters, with playing no small part inthe welding of North and South. We arebetter qualified to play this role in internationalextension than is any rival. Andso, while we know that we are to beheartily congratulated on our acquisitionof a chapter of the best men in the strongestuniversity in our great sister nation,we are so frank, despite modesty, as tocongratulate Canada as well as * A 0."Owing to the close relationship existingbetween McGill and Toronto, it wasalmost imperative from the first that thenew chapter at McGill, in order to secureand maintain a proper position, shouldhave the benefit of a sister chapter atToronto. Negotiations were opened witha local fraternity, Z S N, resulting in apetition being presented to the IndianapolisConvention in 1904. D. S. Likely,McGill '05, now a prominent physicianin New York City, attended as delegatefrom the McGill chapter, and foughthard to ha;ve the petition granted. Unfortunately,however, owing to certainsectional rivalries which at that timewere rampant in the Fraternity, he wasnot successful and the petition was notgranted.The petition was again presented toALBERTA .\LI'HA, EDMONTON

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for October, 1938the Alpha Province Convention in thefall of 1905, and was universally approvedby the eighteen chapters in thatprovince. Following this, a vote betweenconventions was taken and in the springof 1906 the welcome news was receivedthat the necessary number of favourablevotes had been obtained, and that a charterwould issue at once. The installationof the new chapter took place atToronto on the twenty-seventh andtwenty-eighth days of May, 1906, BrothersBallou and McCrillis representingthe General Council. The Toronto chapterhas also had a most successful career.From 1906 until 1930 no further attemptwas made by the Fraternity todevelop the Canadian field. In themeantime Z * had established chaptersat the University of Manitoba and theUniversity of British Columbia; A K Ehad entered the University of Manitoba;A A * had entered the University ofBritish Columbia, and *rA had establishedits first Canadian chapter at thelatter institution.The Detroit convention in 1930 wasDR. CHARLES A. RICHARDSON, Colby "osPrime mover in the organization ofQuebec Alpha.made memorable by the presentation ofpetitions from four Canadian Universities:Dalhousie, in Halifax, the Universityof Manitoba in Winnipeg, theMr. Justice HARRV H. DAVIS, Toronto' '07, of the Supreme Court of the Dominionof Canada.University of Alberta in Edmonton, andthe University of British Columbia atVancouver.Thanks to the untiring efforts of theSurvey Commission and of the Canadianalumni, these petitions were so forciblyput before the Convention that they wentthrough with practically an unanimousvote. Phi Delta Theta became then, andremains to date, the only fraternity havingchapters across Canada from theAtlantic to the Pacific. It may well beargued that we are the only fraternityentitled to call ourselves Internationalin the true sense of the word. A fraternitycan hardly claim the title "National"in either the United States orCanada unless it is represented in everysection of each country, and unless afraternity is entitled to call itself Nationalin each country, the term "International"is hardly applicable.The record of the four younger chaptersis on a par with that of the two

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for October, 1938older chapters. They have already madea very enviable place in their several universities,and are contributing largely tothe cultural life of the communities inwhich they are situated.Already the Canadian chapters havea long and distinguished Alumni list, includingthe Honourable H. H. Davis,Associate Judge of the Supreme Courtof Canada; The Honourable CharlesHebert of the Canadian Tariff Commission;H. R. Emerson, Member of Parliamentfor New Brunswick; The HonourableJ. A. Faulkner (one of the chartermembers of Quebec Alpha), formerMinister of Public Health for Ontario;The Honourable S. J. Shepherd, Justiceof the Supreme Court of Alberta; andHonourable R. L. Maitland, Vice-President of the Canadian Bar Associationand former member of the BritishColumbia government.Mining is one of Canada's most importantindustries, and among prominentmining engineers who are alumniof Canadian chapters are J. H. Stovel,Managing Director of the Dome Mines,J. G. Dickinson, Manager of the O'BrianMine, C. V. Brennan, Assistant Managerof the Howe Sound Company, and ReginaldHore (a charter member of OntarioAlpha), one of Canada's leadingconsulting engineers. Major W. G. Swan,the engineer in charge of construction ofthe great bridge across the Fraser Riverat New Westminster and of the FirstNarrows Bridge at Vancouver, is also acharter member of the Ontario Alpha.The above list might be greatly enlargedif space permitted.Taking it all in all, *A0 has everyright to regard itself as the leading Fraternityin Canada and to view with prideand satisfaction the part its sons havetaken and will continue to take in thebuilding up of the Dominion. Not theleast of its contributions has been therole it has played in promoting a betterunderstanding and sense of brotherhoodbetween picked groups of university menin the United States and Canada. A servicewhich must have a profound effecton the relations between the people ofthese two great Democracies.HUGH ARTHUR CROMBIE, McGill '17 GEORGE ELLIOTT HOUSSER, McGill '06These two Canadians preside over provinces 0/ A 9: Crombie, Co-President of Alpha Province, embracingNew England, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces; Housser, President of Pi Province, composedof Western Washington, Western Oregon, British Columbia, and Alberta.

Fraternities and the PublicBy GEORGE BANTA, JR., Wabash '16; P.P.G.C.AT recent meetings of the National^\. Interfratemity Conference, for men,and the National Panhellenic Congress,for women, there has been considerableagitation to have the fraternities set upsome agency for the dissemination of informationabout fraternities to the public.It is said that none but the uncomplimentaryactivities ever get into the publicpress and accordingly the public hasentirely the wrong opinion about whatfraternities are and what they are supposedto do. And so, a bureau of propagandais proposed, thus taking a leaffrom the book of other organizations.Somehow I cannot think of fraternitiesin that way. I am old-fashionedenough to want to feel that fraternitiesare no particular concern of the public.I dislike to see them mentioned in newspapersand magazines, and I shudderwhen they are erroneously depicted onthe stage or the screen.But it does not make any differencewhat I, or any other individual, maythink: fraternities are definitely assonatedin the public mind with rah-rahJoe College and everything that has todo with the frothy side of college life.That reputation has been built up overa period of years, and recent happeningshave done nothing to change it. Not longago I saw a clipping from a newspaperin a college town which said that thepolice had been called to a certain fraternityhouse, and that it was the twentiethtime within recent months that theofficers of the law had visited that house.Since fraternities have long been onthe defensive, and their troubles seem tobe multiplying, I wonder how muchharm will ultimately be done to the systemby public opinion. Unquestionably,college authorities are calling on Greekletterorganizations to prove their needfor existence, or else—. Please notice thatI said "their need for existence" and nott'3]"their right to exist"; because on thatground the question will be determined.Read the ritual of any fraternity—theyare inuch the same; you will find no connectionbetween it and the popular conceptionof such organizations. How canyou associate the Bond of Phi DeltaTheta and the type of men who wouldsign it in good faith with men who needconstant visits from the police?The fraternities do not need any bureauof propaganda. What they do needto do to change public opinion is to carryout what they profess to stand for.But, as usual, the minority is the noisiest,and the situation is not so bad asthe public is led to believe. No one onthe outside knows of the hundreds ofboys who are helped each year to get aneducation by the agency of a fraternity.No one hears of the personnel work doneby chapter officers and elders with theyoung men under their responsibility.Little is said of the alumni assistancegiven each year to help boys get startedin business and professional life.Once, when I was particularly discouragedabout the outlook, I received a letterfrom the late Doctor Shepardson, towhom I had written a tale of the blues.He said, "When a boy comes to you,looks into your eyes, grasps your hand,and tells you what it means to him, youcan forget all about the dead-beats, theloafers, and the boozers, for you knowthat it is all worth while." I reread thatletter occasionally, and I always deriveconsiderable comfort from it.So, let us stop worrying about the public,and worry rather about our own consciences.Let us be more nearly what weprofess to be. And let us "let our lightso shine that they may see our goodworks." College authorities will not questionus, and the public will lose its interest,which now is only in that whichis sensational.

BACK in the disillusioned days offlaming youth and the flappers (today'scollegians may have heard the termsfrom their elders; the current campus vocabularyhas substituted its own expressivesynonyms), the honor societies fellinto rather poor repute in collegiateAmerica; the emphasis was on showierthings; study was dull business; the winnerof a Phi Bete key was viewed askance.Today the attitude has changed and asaner view prevails; study has become respectable,and the rewards of distinguishedattainments in the classroom andlaboratory are once more held in highesteem. Honor societies have been organizedto acclaim performance in almostevery avenue of college activity.phi Delta Theta is honored in recordingthe names of her sons who have wonrecognition in these societies. Lack ofspace prevents including all; we list thePhis who have been elected to membershipin * B K, 2 S, T B n, * H S, andOAK, for they are nation-wide in scope.There is implied no disparagement ofother honorary societies; it is well knownthat many of them have similar or identicalobjectives.The lists are made up from the recordsat General Headquarters. It is known thatOur Honor Menthese are incomplete. For instance, thirtyeightare included in the * B K list, butnotices of elections without submission ofnames bring the total well above forty.It is probable that there are similar omissionsin all the lists.Phi Beta Kappa, the venerable forerunnerof all the Greek-letter societies,elects to membership, usually in the senioryear, a small group of those who havedistinguished themselves in the liberalarts. Sigma Xi, composed mostly of graduates,elects a limited number of undergraduateswho exhibit aptitude in scientificresearch. Tau Beta Pi confers the distinctionof its membership upon studentswho have maintained high rank in engineeringstudies. Phi Eta Sigma rewardshigh scholastic attainment among men ofthe freshman class. Omicron Delta Kappahonors campus leadership as evinced byexcellence in scholarship, publications,forensics, athletics, and influence in thestudent body.Our list includes: * B K, 38; S S, 5;T B n, 23; * H t, 71; and OAK, 70. Thefigures for 4> H S and OAK embrace notonly the 1938 initiates, but also those undergraduatePhis in college last year whowere elected in previous years.Certain chapters deserve special men-A QUARTET OF REPEATERSOhle, Washington (St. Louis) has been elected to ^ B E, IS, and 0 A E, besides numerous local honoraries;Cregg, Syracuse, is a ^ B K, a $ E $, a A S P, and more; Fisher, Colorado, is a member of S S, A X £, and A E A;Musbam, Purdue, wears the keys of 2 S, T B II, and II T £.[H]

Florida Alpha BuildsCOMES September, bringing coolbreezes, sombre autumn colors, andthe drama of the gridiron parade; butfor Florida Alpha bringing more, farmore, than that—the fulfillment of thechapter's dream of a decade. For whencollege opens the chapter will move intoits new home.The new house will be all the moredeeply appreciated because its possessionhas meant years of patient waiting, severesacrifice on the part of active men andalumni alike, and many a disappointment.In 1927, at the very peak of theFlorida boom, the chapter purchasedthree lots for the site of the permanentchapter house. The price was high, andduring the following years of the depressionthere were many times when the lotswere very nearly lost. They were in themiddle of the block; on the corner, separatedfrom them by a private property,were two fine vacant lots. Some yearslater, these could be acquired by theBy ROBERT ERWIN HOAG, Florida '36chapter for less than half the cost of theoriginal three. Even though it meantpostponement of building for three orfour years, the chapter determined towait. The corner lots were bought, theintervening house was moved, and thechapter possessed an ideal site—four anda half lots on the corner facing the mainentrance to the University.The house, now well under way, is designedto accommodate forty boys. It isin the Mediterranean style of architecture;the structural material is whitebrick. The building is ell-shaped, withthe main entrance from a court in theangle of the two wings. To the left of theentrance hall is the great high-gabled livingroom, occupying the whole of onewing. It is a magnificent room, with abig fireplace at the north end, and wideFrench doors opening on the tiled courtyard.Across one-third of the south endof the room is a large balcony, an idealplace for card tables or for an orchestra.THE FLORIDA ALPHA HOUSE AS IT APPEARED AUGUST 15[24]

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for October, 1938 25Opening from the right of the entrancehall is the chapter dining roomcapable of seating about sixty persons;beyond this is the kitchen. Yet anotherapartment opens from the front hall: theconveniently located and well-appointedtwo-room suite for the housemother.On the second and third floors, in thewing over the dining room, are the quartersfor students. Comfortable individualrooms will each accommodate two Phis.The new house is a monument to theunselfish co-operative effort of all themembers, alumni and active, over a periodof ten years. Each has done his part,and the sense of a common responsibilityhas had much to do with the chapter'shigh morale. A conspicuous leader in thewhole enterprise has been Olin Watts,who was first president of the chapterJOHN J.

Ricketson, Jr., Kentucky '18, ispresident of Fox Inter-Mountain Theatres. Hewas born in Leavenworth, Kansas, October 22,1896. Before entering the motion picture industryhe engaged in newspaper work. Sincehis entrance into the field of theatre managementhe has had wide experience in the West-The Management of Motion Picture Theatresis a manual dealing with this vast commercialfield. While its scope is chiefly of interest toworkers in theatre management, there are manyinteresting sidelights regarding the industry tomake interesting reading for the layman. Fromthe commercial standpoint the author discussestheatre management from the viewpoint of theexecutive, methods of determining and establishingsuccessful policies, efficient operating methodsof various theatres, and various other matterspertaining to the mechanics of this work.His analysis of the success of pictures is givenupon the basis of an examination of picturesover a period of fifteen years. Ricketson writes:"the style in picture themes is as changing asmilady's fashions. . . . The top gross attractionstravel in style cyclesi The author goes on topoint out: "The surprise of our analysis is thatso few pictures are accidental."The book is a contribution to its field, andreveals the wide front over which authors of4> A e are to be found.When Japan Fights. By Percy Noel. TheHokuseido Press, 1937, 249 pp. $2.Percy Noel, Dartmouth '05, is one of 'J'Ae'sleading representatives in the field of journalism.He has had experience on a world-wide frontin the arena of international events. Noel wasthe founder and editor of the first aviationweekly in the United States. He has been acontributor to many leading newspapers andmagazines. From 1914 to 1918 he experiencedexciting adventures as a war correspondent ofthe Chicago Daily News on various AlliedFronts. More recently he has been located inJapan, where he has been in a position to observeevents in the Far East.When Japan Fights is something different onthe Chinese situation. It deals with and exploitsthe Japanese side of the question. (The Chineseside of the question has been presented to ourreaders through a review of Brother Carl Crow's/ Speak for the Chinese.) The book contains areview of the background pertaining to thestruggle now going on in the Far East. It attemptsto point out reasons for Japanese aggressionin China as a stabilizing factor againstlawless social elements. Drawing upon his vastexperience from the World War, Noel effectivelydiscusses propaganda from the standpointof both sides, and shows how each side may beconsidered right or wrong in the eyes of theworld as you choose to interpret or have interpretedfor you international situations.China and Japan have engaged in an unofficialwar. Noel points out Chinese blundersand atrocities that have occurred, but of whichhe says the world has not been properly informed.Perhaps this has been because of theeffectiveness of propaganda. As a matter of factthe author points out so clearly the importantaspect of propaganda in time of war that hehas literally sawed off the limb on which he iswriting. How may we know what the truth isin time of international conflict?The book is well written, and it is an interestingaccount of the Japanese side of thestruggle. Of this we may be sure. Whoever isright, or regardless of the propaganda of competingnations, war is exactly what Shermansaid it was. And we are tempted to apply thesame statement to propaganda.Keep the Library in MindSlowly but surely an invaluable collection of material is being gathered intothe David Demaree Banta Memorial at General Headquarters, Oxford,Ohio.

OctoberScROLL inAugustEDITORIALTHE date-line of this issueis an anachronism.The initial number ofthe new volume, it is beingpublished six weeks ahead ofschedule in order that it may be in thehands of the active men when collegeopens; it is even possible that copiesmay be available at the Old PointComfort Convention. There is anomalyin calling August, October; it ishoped, however, that the time will notseem too obviously out of joint.Old IN many years of associa-Point tion with the Fraternity, theComfort Editor has never knownPhis of all complexions tobe so eager about a General Conventionas they are on the eve of OldPoint Comfort. The enthusiasm hasnot been worked up by high-pressuremethods; the publicity about it haseven been criticised by some zealots asbeing insufficient. The present feelingseems rather to be the spontaneoussense that here is to be a great gatheringwhich Phis will enjoy, and that asthe law-making body of Phi DeltaTheta the Convention is big with issuesthat are important to us all.The feeling is justified in both instances:the committees in charge havemade every possible provision for thecomfort of officers, delegates, andguests, and all the unexcelled resourcesof the region have been requisitionedfor our pleasure.Important measures are coming upfor discussion and action. Some of thefundamental relations between thecolleges and all fraternities, includingour own, will be debated. W'ays and[33]means will be sought to vitalize andstrengthen the tie between the GeneralFraternity and the. chapters anthe men in the chapters. The questionof expansion, latent in recent years,will be renewed by the presence oftivo bodies of petitioners seekingcharters. Problems of administration,social, educational, and financial, willdemand study and solution.It is clear that the agenda will beso diverse and will involve such farreachingconsequences that the bestjudgment of the whole membershipwill be needed. It will be a deliberativeand business assembly, but oneplanned to give occasion for that fellowshipwhich makes a Convention anever-to-be-forgotten experience.Legacies STATISTICS compiled atGeneral Headquarters byBrother Gerlach reveal the interestingfact that in the last four years the initiatesinclude 43 grandsons and 426sons of Phis, and that 818 brothers inthe flesh became brothers in the Bond.These figures are an evidence, it onewere needed, that the tie of the Fraternityis an enduring one, that the adage"blood will tell" is a fact, even if exceptionally,in the language of thecynic, "blood may tell too much."Most fathers who have loved theirFraternity in their youth cherish, usually\vistfully and in secret, the hopethat their sons may be privileged alsoto add their names to the old Bond;and few disappointments are more bitterthan that which comes to thefather with the knowledge that his boyhas been rejected. These sons andbrothers have through the years proven

34 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for October, 1938a source of strength in the undergraduatebody, and they have servedtoo in restoring the active interestof older Phis who have felt the joy ofsharing, through the youngsters,something of the old chapter life.No person has a birthright in PhiDelta Theta. But a father or brotheror other kinsman of an entering freshmanis justified in expecting that thechapter of his Fraternity will showthe lad the courtesy of making hisacquaintance. After that, matters restwith the chapter—and with the boy.If he has a record of attainment andhas also those qualities of mind andpersonality that the Fraternity expectsof its candidates, he should be givenevery consideration; if not, painful asit may be, the chapter's duty is plain.In our older chapters a problem iscreated by the very number of "legacies"—touse the term employed in thejargon of the campus. Sometimes theyapproach or even exceed the numberof freshmen that the chapter mayreasonably expect to pledge, and thequestion of choice between them and"outsiders" of equal or superior qualificationsbecomes a difficult one.In these circumstances, some chaptershave developed a prejudice againstfraternity relatives and accept few ofthem. Others discriminate againstsons, but readily accept brothers ofactive men or recent alumni, on thedubious ground that "little brother"will reproduce the desirable traits ofthe elder brother.Several old chapters come to mindwhich have the heaviest percentage ofrelated members. In them the policyfor many years has been to accept Phirelatives unless there is a clear defectin their records. They point withpride to the families that for generationshave been sending their sons tothe old chapter. There may or may notbe a correlation between these factsand another—that these chapterswould be cited without hesitation byanyone who knows Phi Delta Thetaas those which have given inspiringleaders to the Fraternity and whichyear in and year out are recognizedas the strong chapters in their respectivecolleges and in Phi Delta Theta.They appear less liable than others toperiodical slumps and depressions.Fortunate indeed is the chapterwhich can add to its membership upstandingboys who from their childhoodhave loved Phi Delta Theta becausetheir elders loved it. With sadexceptions they become living exemplarsof noblesse oblige, and PhiDelta Theta is incomparably richerfor their presence in it.ManyThanksTHIS number of the SCROLLbegins the second year ofthe present editorial regime.The Editor makes it the occasion to acknowledgeco-operation by his brothersthat has far exceeded his expectationsand, he suspects, his deserts.Almost without exception calls forhelp have been met with immediateresponse given in a spirit that leavesno doubt as to the personal and intimateconcern which great numbersof Phis feel for our journals. Lettersof commendation and encouragementin multitudes have made the Editordeeply grateful and have strengthenedhis determination to make the SCROLLand Palladium represent Phi DeltaTheta at its best. New correspondentsare joining faithful old ones in sendingunsolicited contributions whichoften prove to be the choicest itemsin the SCROLL. May their tribe increase.With such support our journalscannot fail.

Co-operative and Go-ordinated RushingALUMNI, here's the recommendation blank—let's have those namesi The initial. effort of General Headquarters to act as a Clearing House for rushing recommendationshas met with a reasonably generous response. We appreciate the factthat this plan is in its infancy and that, as in the case of most Fraternity projects, itwill develop slowly, yet here is a service so simple of performance, so negligible inthe time it takes you to do it, and yet so vital to our active chapters, that Headquartersshould have been buried under an avalanche of recommendation blankslong ago. Actually we have received several hundred recommendations in the courseof the summer, and for these the chapters affected are deeply grateful.Surely there is a wealth of good Phi material in your community—boys about whommany of our chapters will not learn unless you are willing to act as the intermediaryand provide us with all necessary information prior to the opening of college ina few days. Why not sit down right now and go over the roster of last June'sgraduating class and send us the names of those lads who have distinguished themselvesalong scholastic and activities lines, and who have indicated that they aregoing on to college?

THE SCROLLOF PHI DELTA THETADECEMBER 1938

Charters . . .A limited number of young men in each of a hundred andmore American and Canadian colleges and universities havebeen entrusted ^vith charters of * A 0. Such a charter is apriceless heritage. Its value and the responsibility which itspossession entails are not to be regarded lightly. In manyinstances those charters were obtained by the predecessors of .those now in the chapters at a considerable cost of time andeffort. They were handed down to those Avho are now chargedwith their guardianship in entire confidence that the principlesof fraternal affection, sound learning, and upright conductwould be an inspiration to lives of greater accomplishment,culture, and usefulness.The task of transmitting those charters, unscarred and unblemished,to future generations of Phis is a responsibilitywhich every present member of the active chapters assumedwhen he signed the Bond. There is nothing implied in theguardianship of that charter that could interfere in any waywith a wholesome participation in all recognized collegeactivities. But for the individual or the chapter to indulge indeliberate or thoughtless violations of the recognized rulesof conduct is an act of treason to those who made possibleyour membership in * A 0. For your four years in college thatcharter is yours to guard as you would your sacred honor.Do not fear that * A © or the fraternity system is going tofollow the dodo bird into oblivion. Adjustments in methodand perhaps in some of the relationships which the chapterbears to the college may be necessary to conform to the changesin social thought and values which will inevitably take placein a world which inconstantly striving for human betterment.But so long as men continue to feel the need of human companionship,and so long as the members of this Fraternity, asindividuals and as chapter groups, conduct themselves in conformityto the teachings of the immortal Bond, so long will*A0 endure.—JOHN B. BALLOU, President of the GeneralCouncil

The SCROLL of Phi Delta ThetaDecember1938Volume 63No. aOld Point Comfort Is HistoryTHE FORTY-THIRD GENERAL CONVENTION A GREAT SUCCESSGENERAL CONVENTIONS o£ * A 0have much in common. The patternis pretty well fixed by tradition and theexigencies of the business that has to betransacted. But each Convention managesto take to itself a character that stampsit, and old convention-goers will tell youthat, while they are alike, they are all different.Syracuse was noted for its gaiety;Estes Park connotes the outdoors and, tomost of those who were there, the noveltyof mountains and snowstorms in August.Mackinac is a memory of hilarity andgroups ot singing Phis.Old Point Comfort, too, was different.It was an intimate, homey meeting, lessformal than most, with more visitingamong the delegates and visitors. Thoughits attendance of 460 ranked it among thelarge conventions, the accommodations ofthe Chamberlin Hotel were adequate,and since there were few housed outside,there was a unity that is sometimes lacking.It may have been the isolation of themilitary post, with few outside distractions;perhaps it was the atmosphere ofthe Old Dominion, with its gracioushospitality and its mannered deferenceTHE CONVENTION IN SESSION[99]

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938to its guests; or maybe the good-naturedfriendliness of President Hoffman wascontagious—whatever the cause, the feelingof fraternity was more manifest thanusual. One delegate commented that hefelt as much at home as in his own chapter.Much of the charm ot the Conventiongrew out of its location. In his address ofwelcome. Major Lowry called attentionto the fact that we were in three placesat once: Old Point Comfort, the geographicalname of the peninsula juttingout between Chesapeake Bay and themouth of the James, Fort Monroe, themilitary reservation embracing the Point,and Fortress Monroe, the old fortificationdating back to the era of the Warof 1812, on the site which has been astronghold since the time that CaptainJohn Smith built a fort there in 1609.The old fortress is a shrine to the South,for it was here that Jefferson Davis wasincarcerated at the end of the War betweenthe States. The Chamberlin facesdirectly upon Hampton Roads, famousin our naval history. A few miles distantare Jamestown and Yorktown and Williamsburg;the whole of Tidewater Virginiais like a lesson in American history.And, for those whose tastes incline lessto the historical, there is plenty ofpresent-day interest in the neighborhood.Norfolk and Newport News and LangleyField offered opportunities, and the delightsof salt-water bathing and boatingand sailing were always at hand. TheChamberlin salt-water pool proved aprime attraction.There appeared to be a larger proportionof alumni present than usual. Aporter on the doci remarked, "Boss, theydone tole me this yere wuz a college boys'meetin'; whut you-all doin' with all thesyereole men?" Conspicuous among theveterans were Dr. John Edwin Brown,president thirty-five years ago, and editorof the SCROLL for many years; W. O.Morgan and M. S. Woodhams, of CaliforniaAlpha '87 and '88 respectively;Milo C. Summers, a graduate of fiftysevenyears' standing, without whose presenceno convention would be complete;Thomas W. Reed, of Georgia Alpha, thedean of our chapter advisers; James E.Davidson, the devoted chairman of thePermanent Endowment Fund; John J.Lincoln, a charter member of the LehighChapter; Carter Helm Jones, beloved ofall Phis, rejoicing in the resurrection othis old Virginia Delta—all ot them GoldenLegionnaires. Seven Past Presidents otthe General Council were there: Brown,Ruick, with his record-breaking Conventionladder of twenty-one rungs; Tigert,always ready with a wise-crack; Haas,laying low all and sundry in argument;Urion and Banta and Bayes, earnest incounsel on measures of vital importanceto the Fraternity.

C. of 1986-28: Tigert,Urion, Haas, Banta, and Davis; they wereas happy as schoolboys together.Every one of the 105 active chapterswas represented by an official delegate,and there was a multitude of undergraduateswho were not delegates, among thema sprinkling of Phikeias viewing fromafar much that was going on.For more than a hundred Phis, theConvention began on Tuesday, whenthey stopped off at Washington and wereroyally entertained by the WashingtonAlumni Club in a day of sight-seeing.Like many others, most of these Phis tookthe evening boat and arrived at OldPoint Wednesday morning.Meanwhile, the General Officers andProvince Presidents had assembled Tuesdaymorning for a general conference atwhich all details of the Convention wereelaborated.The handsome printed program was agreat help in holding everybody to aregimen, and it was invaluable as a meansot recognition. It contained pictures ofall officers and many other alumni, and ofall chapter delegates, and accompanyingeach delegate's picture was a summary othis college achievements and distinctions.An innovation this year was the inclusionin the program ot the full reports otthe President ot the General Council, theExecutive Secretary, the Treasurer of theGeneral Council and the Finance Commissioner.The Convention liked thisidea and many asked that other reportsbe preprinted for the next Convention.Two particularly happy appointmentsof the Convention were those of theChaplain and the Chorister. BrotherBraxton B. C. Lile, Auburn '30, wasideal in his office: fervent, sympathetic,and dignified. Howard Winterson, Duke'39, as Chorister, added much to thepleasure of all meetings as he led groupsinging, and his glee club, hastily organizedfrom volunteer delegates andvisitors, was effective beyond all expectations.The opening session with the addressesof welcome and responses set the pace torgood humor for the week. Major PorterLowry, South Dakota '16, stationed atFort Monroe, presided and formallyopened the Convention sessions. ColonelW. E. Shedd, Commanding Officer ofFort Monroe, welcomed the Fraternity tothe famous old Post. Robert Morrison,Cincinnati '11, son of Founder RobertMorrison; Ben G.

The candidate for initiationwas Dean Meek Hoffman, Jr., PennsylvaniaEpsilon '41, son of the P.G.C. Thiscircumstance of itself lent interest, andthe manner in which the Ritual was exemplifiedby officers chosen from manychapters was a revelation.Thursday night, in a session lastinguntil after midnight, occurred the electionof the General Council for the ensuingbiennium: President, John B.

Robert Morrison was the chiefsponsor for the Richmond petitioners,Frank Wright, for those at L.S.U. Probablythe most effective plea of all wasthat of the venerable Carter Helm Jonesfor the restoration ot his old VirginiaDelta, inactive for thirty-two years. Hewas transported with joy by the vote.Both charters were granted by large majorities—andthe result was symbolized bysuspending two new chapter banners onthe speakers' table.The Convention Banquet Friday eveningbrought together at the speakers'table a remarkable quartet ot Phis: theToastmaster, John J. Tigert, Presidentof the University of Florida; and thespeakers. Rear Admiral Wat T. Cluverius,U. S.

Morning and afternoonsightseeing trips were arranged with theview ot giving some idea ot the attractivenessof Washington. In the morning atrip was taken about the city, passing theprincipal places of interest, such as theWhite House, the Capitol, the new SupremeCourt Building, the CongressionalLibrary, the various new Governmentbuildings and a part ot the residentialdistrict.

Childs, andothers. It was amazing to note the largenumber ot necessary committees and stillmore amazing to observe the competentway the undergraduate delegates buckleddown to produce such intelligent andhelpful reports. The clear, thorough, andfrank statements ot the trustees of the endowedfunds and of the chapter housecommittee were a revealing and stimulatingpart of the proceedings. BrotherRuby's interesting and illuminating reporton the SCROLL, and Brother Davidson'sreport on the Palmer Fund werememorable to me.

Westerners all had fortunes in oilwells—and, I presumed, Canadians meantEskimos to many of the Americans. Iwas all wrong—why, most ot the fellowsdidn't even have accentslThe men ot the General Council andthe alumni brothers ot the Fraternitywere, to me, the most impressive aspectof the Convention. They made a fellowfeel rather "tingly" inside—proud to be amember ot a society that commanded suchan active and sincere interest from men ottheir type. To an undergraduate theyimparted a confidence that the objects of$ A 0 were not soon to be obliteratedby the passing years. Friendly they were,too; meriting that respect that comes notfrom age alone.The dispatch with which the businessof the Convention was carried throughprovided indeed a striking revelation.Dean Hoffman, as chairman, was withoutfault, giving opportunity to everybrother who desired to speak on any motion.Everyone was conscientious in attendance,and keenly attentive to theproposals.The recesses were well timed and refreshing.Worthy ot special note was theafternoon trip to Yorktown and Williamsburg.To a Torontonian, Yorktownmeant even more than the birthplace otour best neighbour, for it was there thata young British officer, John Graves Simcoe,so distinguished himself on the fieldof action—Simcoe who was later to becomethe first governor of Upper Canadaand to take his place as the greatest namein the history ot Ontario.The enthusiasm and spontaneous applausewith which the Phis present acclaimedJustice Davis, of the SupremeCourt of Canada, at the Convention banquet,gave me a thrill that I shall notsoon forget. Up at Varsity, we think a lotof Harry Davis—it was mighty fine toknow that the American chaps felt thesame way. But we're not all like BrotherDavis, we Canadian Phis, any more thanwe are all Eskimos—six chapters who areusually late with their reports, do notdeclare dividends on the year's operations,but merely try to struggle alongin the best Phi spirit. I only trust thatwe active chapter delegates from "UpNorth" succeeded, in some measure, inconveying that attitude to our "foreign"brothers at the Convention.By ROBERT DANNIES, Pittsburgh '39THE thing that impressed me most atthe Convention was the fine group offellows present, delegates and visitors aswell. I was probably introduced to everyone of the active delegates and I distinctlyremember at least forty. TheTHE MCFETRIDGES DIVIDE THE MORNING PAPER

Even now I amwriting to a couple of the delegates andsincerely wish that I could keep in touchwith them all.The business meetings provided mewith much pleasure. Every delegate hadhis bit of work to do. The election of theGeneral Council was most exciting. Iliked the way the self-styled small-townlawyer got up before the assembly anddeclared that out in the Midwest thepeople believed in passing the piearound, and therefore Brother Jungeshould be elected to G.C., as he subsequentlywas.Naturally the social affairs roundedout the program to perfection. CharlieYates stole the show at the smoker withhis genial humor and radiant personality.The formal dance on Saturday night wasone of the highlights we all enjoyed. Perhapsthe most enjoyable affairs werethose not on the regular schedule, butconsisted of various groups ot Phis meetingin each others' rooms for the everenjoyable "bull sessions." After three ofthose so-called sessions, I was sold on* A 0 forever.Before going, I was told that a Phinever appreciates his Fraternity until heattends a Convention.

There was but one commonbond—"I am a Phi."The spirit of comradeship and brotherhoodthat was everywhere in evidencewill cause Old Point to go down in Fraternityhistory as a high-water mark ofgood feeling, co-operative effort and honestinterest in the other fellow.The earnestness, seriousness, and sincerityof those in official positions was animpressive feature. When busy men willgive their time and their best efforts tosee that the business side of our organizationruns smoothly, efficiently, economically,and with a minimum ot friction,it augurs well for the successful continuationand survival of our ideals. It isproof, too, that our fundamental principlesare sound and worthy to survive.Alumni interest and activity was mostencouraging. Ways and means were carefullystudied for continuing and extendingthe benefits of * A © membership beyondundergraduate days so that Phis inbusiness and professional life may enjoyand profit by association with brotherPhis. Plans, as yet only in blue-printform, will complete an alumni organizationthat has long been a dream in theminds of many interested members.

Did yousee where the ball went that he drovefrom the platform the night of thesmoker? Mrs. Bortle has it and considersit her most prized souvenir of the Convention.By THOMAS W. REED, Georgia '88FORTY-NINE years ago in Bloomington,111., it was my pleasure to attendfor the first time a general Conventionof * A 0. It was a notable gatheringand abounded in enthusiasm and inspiration.There I had the great privilege ofmeeting with Robert Morrison, one otour immortal Founders. Were I an artistI could almost paint his picture now.Certain it is that I can never forget hiswords ot advice to his young brothers. Icame away a richer and better man fromhaving grasped his hand and having feltthe influence of his great spirit.Across a jubilee of years I came to theConvention at Old Point Comfort, Va.Into those years have been crowded amultitude of experiences, in which thoserelating to * A 0 hold prominent places.The one thing at the Old Point ComfortConvention that struck me withmore force than any other thing was theattendance of so many of the olderalumni. Six members of the Golden Legionwere there. Fully forty men werethere who had been away from collegetwo score years. Their mere presencedrove home the conviction that theremust be something of lasting and eternalvalue in * A 0, something that stays witha boy long years after his college days areover, that goes with him through cloudand sunshine, through joy and sorrow,through success and adversity, and bringshim past mid-age into the shadows ot thewestern hills happy, contented, unafraid.One other thing of inestimable valueto me I gained through contact with myyounger brothers at the Convention. Icame away with the feeling that as longas American youth remains of the typeof those boys, all will be well with theRepublic and, our country will go forwardto greater and greater triumphs inits service to mankind.The Convention BanquetTRADITION has made the ConventionBanquet the accepted occasionwhen the Fraternity gives voice to theinner ideals and principles that guide itsactions and shape its outward forms. Itis always an occasion ot fellowship at itsbest, a happy mixture of fun and thoughtprovokingdiscussion. It is a hilariouscompany, but always held within thebounds of decorum. Time-honored customand enactment decree that no intoxicantsof any sort may be served at thedinner, yet there is never lack ot noisygood cheer.It is doubtful if there was ever as brillianta Convention Banquet as that atOld Point Comfort. President Tigert wasthe perfect toastmaster: witty, eloquent,possessed of an endless supply of patanecdotes and wise-cracks, he has therare faculty ot putting speakers and hearersat their ease, and he, maintained interestand enthusiasm at high pitchthrough the long program. The responseswere the eloquent expressions of greatmen who have lived strenuously andthought deeply, who have achieved deservedrenown in their professions, andrecognize their responsibility to lead thethinking of others.After the dinner, the Toastmaster appointedBrothers Ben Childs, PorterLowry, Isaac M. Harris, and Don Kieffer,to escort the ladies to the banquet room.As the ladies entered, they were greetedwith hearty applause.An enthusiastic welcome was accordedalso to the representatives of the twobodies of petitioners that had just beengranted charters by the Convention:A $, of the Louisiana State University,and *An, of the University of Rich-

Navy, Tulane '95:"Today's Responsibilities."Brother Toastmaster, Brother Hoffman,and my new Commander-in-chief,Brother Ballou, my Brother Phis andthe attractive girls, who stand alwayswith them:It we didn't learn something new everyday, certainly in my profession I wouldcount that day lost. I knew ot a man inPhiladelphia who was trying to read hisevening paper when his wife said, "John,you know Eleanor is almost seventeen."He said, "Yes, my dear."And she went on and said, "John, Ihad a very frank talk with her todayabout the facts of life."He put down his paper and said, "Didyou, my dear? Did you learn anythingnew?"I have learned much new in foregatheringwith the young and old ot our Fraternity.When I was asked to take part in thisprogram this evening and the subjectwas set, I had not the slightest idea that"Today's Responsibilities," which is thesubject, would mean personally so muchto me nor that I would assume responsibilitiesin this great Brotherhood ot oursas a result of last night's balloting. Irejoice that I am to have an opportunityto serve further with men who are informed,useful citizens of the UnitedStates, the greatest need that our countryhas at this most uncertain period ot herhistory. Being associated with the youthof $ A © in a convention is an opportunitythat no other convention could evershow, where the young men and the oldmen sit faithfully and loyally together inthe interests of our Fraternity, all informed,all self-reliant, all trained in selfhelp,which is the basis of democraticcitizenship. I have learned a great dealfrom the proceedings of this splendidconvention. The little that I have donein the past was principally for my ownenjoyment, when the occasion aroseeither at home or abroad and I sat downwith the undergraduates of the chapters.It heartened me, it helped me on. We inthe Fleet teach, first, good citizenship.I find here that our Fraternity is makingits contribution daily to the formationot self-reliant, honest, upstanding, practicalcitizenship of the morrow.I have learned, first, these things thatpertain to our Fraternity: Among thethings we need most is to cement furtherin a practical way this contact betweenmen and youth. I should like to see ouralumni associations working out moreand more the welfare of the undergraduate,with whose welfare we are every oneof us charged.At every post that I have had whenI have not been at sea, I find in ourcommunities men ot * A 0 who are honestlyconcerned with the undergraduatesof our Fraternity in the 105 colleges otthis Western Continent where we have acommon problem tor the future.On either side there is war. We inAmerica stand between, we of whom ourPresident has said, "in our strength isthe highest factor of world stability." Ifthat is so, then it is time to take accountof today's responsibilities.In our Fraternity what I like to see,as I have been through our country andvisited our chapters, is that when a ladin the extremity of the conditions thatsurround us has the desire to acquire aneducation, to complete his course, to gethis degree, there are the alumni at eachcollege standing by to give him a helpinghand, and, more than that, to start himto work in this sorely stricken materialworld of ours.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938 "5I knew a man when I served at theGreat Lakes Station, who told me thathis Fraternity had placed, through contactingalumni, ninety-eight per cent ofthe graduates of a certain university thatyear. That is a splendid thing. But theyoung man had to know what he wantedand had to be inspired with the thingsthat his years ot hard training had inculcatedin him. Here is the privilege tora man who has gone before; to point tohis younger brothers the way to successand happiness, if indeed that may befound. That is my idea ot what more wecan do for the youth of America underthe banner of our great Brotherhood.And I believe each year that that opportunityimproves.If we are to be the strong nation thatPresident Hoover referred to as "a factorof stability," we must be.strong, first, incitizenship. The fibre ot our citizenshipis sorely and distressingly attacked today;there is much working against the progressof this democracy of ours, and ifwe do not stand four-square with thosethings that are American, just as truly asother democracies in history, this of ourswill pass from the world. God forbidl Ourstrength is that of citizenship. With theworld at war across the Atlantic, withprobably only one European nation, anEnglish-speaking nation, with the will topeace, considering the things that happenedafter the world was practically devastatedin the European conflict, if the nationsof Europe cannot adjust themselvesto the troubles of the day, and if moremoney wherewith to conduct war is madepossible, there will be a European war.And they look to us in this Western Continenttor help, they look to us as a strongnation, strong not in armaments, forthose are the inhuman weapons that arebrought into play after all the good officesand efforts ot arbitration have failed.We know how it was from 1914 on. Weknow that our President prayed that wemight not be drawn into it, as everyother President in every other administrationprayed, that his administrationshould be one of peace. And you knowwhat happened.And with the treaty ot peace—thetreaties have proven so woefully inadequate—nationswere carved out of othernations, in the determined effort to maintainthe status quo. And today, nationsthat lost territory are just as insistentupon gaining that territory again. Andthat nation over there, with her Dominionsthat stand here with us in the WestemContinent, is perturbed today, because,as Marshal Foch once said—theGeneral of the combined armies, you remember—"Itis not sufficient to disarm apeople who desire to make war."And across the Pacific, a great nation,rising in her new-found strength, whosedoor was opened by these United Statesnot so very many years ago, is insistentupon achieving her destiny to reign supremein the Orient.Between these nations is this WesternContinent ot ours. It, then, we are to doour share as men interested in peace—and in no other way can there be progressexcept in peace—then our responsibiltiesare very great indeed. And oneof them is the realization that we can doour share in making it well understoodthat those who enjoy the rights and privilegesof this tree American citizenshipmust hold themselves responsible tortheir self-preservation and tor the preservationof those rights.So many are apt to enjoy the rightsand privileges but are uninformed as tothe obligation and the responsibilitythere is to maintain them. The time willcome when citizens worthy ot the namewill have to stand and be counted. Therewon't be any question about that amongthose who have carried the colors of ourFraternity. We shall know what it is allabout. We shall have been instructed inthose things that are American, thosethings that are right and that will leadus towards the destiny that certainly mustbe ours as a free people. We shall knowthat, if our free citizenship is to be maintained,there is entailed loyalty to the

ii6 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938Constitution of the United States whichkeeps us free. Too little attention is beinggiven in these days to the basic formsot our Government. Our institutions arebeing treated as being outmoded, andour youths are being taught that.We are concerned in the Fleet of theUnited States, because there must be behindus an understanding and sympatheticcitizenship if we are to go forward,which God forbid, to carry our Colorsonce more in a cause that we know isright. But with that behind us, and withthe splendid young men flocking to ourColors as they came in 1917, we may haveno fear of the outcome. These implementsof ours, ot course, are meant forone sole purpose, and your Fleet, preparing,as it does, night and day in thePacific and the Atlantic and in the Gulf,to be ready tor any call that may come,is praying all the time that it may notcome.Those are some of the responsibilitiesof today which are practicable and shouldbe more and more taught our youngpeople. As they are now learning thelesson ot life, let it be the lesson of practical,human life, built upon the presumptionof the Founding Fathers, thatwhen a man came here to this blessedcountry he could enjoy the work ot hishand and the fruits of his labor and behappy and be prosperous. That time willcome when our citizens, standing on theirown feet, understanding their responsibilities,will assume them and do theirshare.A great American citizen, Melvin Traylor,whom I had the privilege of knowing,said, just before he passed on: "Thisthen, is my hope for the future: that wemay be rich without forgetting to berighteous; that we may be powerful withoutbecoming offensive; that we may benational-minded, without being narrowminded;but before all, that we may holdthe faith in this world of uncertain tact."Faith, my brothers, in those things thatwere given to us to transmit to theseyoung men of the undergraduate chaptersof our Fraternity throughout theUnited States; faith that we may be ablessing and a blessed nation under anomnipotent God, faith to stand, faith togo forward; faith that if we do our shareand accept our responsibilities for thefuture, this will continue to be a land ofhappy homes of millions, stretching fromsea to shining sea.Address of the ReverendCARTERHELM JONES, D.D., Richmond'82: "Inspiration and Aspiration."Brother Toastmaster, Brother President,ladies and gentlemen, my belovedBrother Phis:A British gentleman of classic moodwas walking by a place of amusement inLondon many years ago and he saw avast figure clad in complete Roman armor.He immediately made a sweepingbow and said, "Appius Claudius, I perceivel"But from behind the helmet therecame a dismal voice, saying, " 'Appiestnothing! Unhappy as 'ell!"Now, I'm not like that—I'm as happyas Heaven tonight because you havegiven me back my beloved * A © AlmaMater, dear old Virginia Delta. And Irejoice that along with her there willcome that new sister from lovely Louisiana,and we will walk together.You must not take us preachers tooseriously. Sometimes we take a text andstraightway depart from it. You haveheard a preacher say, "I will preach fromSuch and Such a Text." I feel as the latelamented Sam Jones did sometimes. Hesaid, "For a text I will take you tor apretext."We have a delightful Bishop down inGeorgia where I once lived. He used totravel a great deal without clerical garb.He was in the smoking car of a trainenjoying stories with one ot these ubiquitousand voluble traveling men. And ashe reached his destination, the travelingman, who knew nothing about him,slapped him on the knee and said, "Ihave met you somewhere; where in thehell do you live?"

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938 117The Bishop said, "I don't know. Whatpart of hell do you live in?"I was reminded of that between thehours of two and three this morning. Ifelt that I was living in a nearby suburb,anyway. [Alluding to the fact that someof the early risers exploded giant firecrackersin the forecourt.] But don'tbother about that. As first aid to insomnia,some ot the brothers were a distinctsuccess. As a matter of fact, that is myjob. And with all your faults and all myfaults, I love you still. What I like aboutmy * A © brothers is that they are straightout and out sinners. You can look aroundhere and you cannot see a Pharisee, andif you listen awhile you cannot hear anySadducees. They are just sinners, thatis all. And the Master ot us all has taughtus that we were to call, not the righteous,but sinners to repentence.You know, the greatest trouble I have—what a handicap it is to any preacher—we would have an easier time if therewere not so many sour saints and so manysweet sinners.But I am to speak on a subject, orspeak from it, and just a few words, becauseafter the eloquent words of ourgifted man of the Navy I must be serious,"Phi Delta Theta—an Inspirationand an Aspiration."The golden memories of chapter daysand fellowships of conventions like these,that stir the pulse's play and bringmusic to the heart beat, bring back theinspirations of the fellowships of the longago. Oh, that great motto of ours—ET; ovrip ouSei?

It was there that the Master said,"I have called you, friendsl" And therehe took that word that is sacred in everylanguage and beautiful in every tongueand gave it a radiance that made itshine with a supernal sheen. And a realchapter house of * A 0 is a spiritual descendantot that group ot men.Friendship! Ah, the friends of thoseold days. Boys, you are making memoriesnow. Make them as fragrant asShakespeare would say—"so softly blowingo'er a bank of violets." Make themas musical as the chiming of distant bells;make them as sweet as your mother'ssmile, or your sweetheart's.But I must add that other point. Iam not orthodox. I haven't three pointstonight, just two. Inspiration, yes, inspiration—notonly from the chapter days,but inspiration from the achievement.I almost hear the tramp ot the marchof * A 0, as illustrious men who in everyrealm of idealism, in every area of activity,intellectual, industrial, in the hallsot the nations, in the White House, inthe courts of justice, in commercial, inlegal, in the pulpit—wherever men work,* A 0, unashamed and unafraid stands apeer among any of them. I love to thinkthat the inspiration comes, as it comes,from the king of the prophets, when hesaid once in one of His noblest moods,standing, methinks, upon the tallest peak—"A man shall be as a hiding place fromthe wind and a covert from the tempest,a stream ot water in a dry place, andas the shadow of a great rock in a wearyland." There is the inspiration of theglory ot real manhood.But is there also an aspiration? Yes.Don't try to live in the past. Don't try tonecklace yourself with the tombstones ofthe yesterdays. I love to think that thereis an aspiration in the glorious call tolife that $ A © gives. Life! Lite! Life! Itis the challenge to live.Many years ago an old negro man inWashington went into the old D. & T.station. And when he saw the ticket agentwas idle, he sidled up and said, "Boss,what do it cost for a round-trip ticket fora corpse down to Fredericksburg?""Why," he said "you idiot, you don'twant a round-trip ticket tor a corpse."He said,- "Yes, I do. Boss. You see, thecorpse has lots ot friends up in Fredericksburgand it 'pears to me like itwould be cheaper to take him up thereto let them see him and bring him backagain than to have all them niggers comingdown campin' on me."Now that man was a financier; he wasa psychologist; he was a philosopher.And I would love tor * A 0 to see thatany man who comes among them who isnot alive, superbly, gloriously, unselfishly,magnificently alive, shall use thereturn coupon and go back where he belongs.I went into a great cemetery in a midwesterncity years ago and I was amazedto find a great granite monument withjust one word on it, "Limburger." NowI knew Limburger was dead the firsttime I made its olfactory acquaintance,and I ought not have been surprised thatit took several tons of granite to keep itdown after it was buried.But we find that * A 0 stands likeJoshua. It was a great day in the historyot the world back there upon frowningNebo, Pisgah, the Mount of Promise,from which Moses, the old leader, lookedacross the River to that beautiful PromisedLand that had floated like an idealbefore him, and yet which his disobedientfeet should never tread. But Joshua,the new leader, summoned his people ateventide and said, "Consecrate yourselvestoday, for tomorrow the Lord willdo great things among you."Oh, beloved brothers of $ A 0, and especiallymy beloved undergraduatebrothers, may one who has lived threescore years and ten and nearly seven, butrefuses with springtime in his heart tonotice the snow upon his head, beg youto think tonight of * A 0 as like Joshua,issuing the call to tomorrow.There is our aspiration. We will neverbe strait-jacketed with that stupefying

No; as one of the great menof the old times said, 'Torgetting thethings that are behind, reaching forthunto those things which are before, wepress toward the mark for the prize of ahigh calling."Our noble Admiral told us tonightthere is a call for men, $ A 0's call. It isa challenge to the intellectual life, to theideal life, to the practical efficiencies, tothe spiritual efficiencies, and we can trustyou to bear the banner onward.Forty years ago I stood one moonlightnight in the Colosseum in Rome.I had skillfully lost a party on the wayand had the time to myself. I lookedupon those great tiers where thirty, forty,fifty thousand used to look down. I sawthe caverns where the famished beastswere waiting for the Christian martyrs.I saw the spot where Nero sat, that massot mud and bloodl And then I picturedthose gladiators as they used to comeforth and bow before the emperor andsay their famous "Morituri te salutamusl"—Weabout to die salute theelO, brothers! We are not about to die,we are about to live. We salute you asyou carry forth in splendid aspirationthe glories of the days that are gone.Address of Mr. JUSTICE HARRY H. DA­VIS, Toronto '07, of the SupremeCourt of the Dominion of Canada:"More than a Neighbour."Brother Toastmaster, Brother Phis, SisterPhis:Some weeks ago when our good friend.President Hoffman, wrote me at Ottawa,asking me to come down, in amoment ot weakness I accepted becauseot the extreme cordiality and affectionot his letter; not that I was not anxiousto come again to a convention of my dearFraternity, but because of some stressand strain ot work upon me, it seemeddifficult to get away. But I could notescape from the invitation of Dean Hoffman.I know the good work that he hasbeen doing in the Fraternity in the pasttwo years and I am sorry that his termhas come to an end. But, it I may saythis, I would like to congratulate thisConvention of * A © upon having beenable to induce Brother John Ballou tobecome the new President. I go home toHARRY H. DAVIS, Toronto 'o^Canada with a very sincere feeling thatthe undergraduate body of * A © is soundand sane when it has unanimously chosena man of the type and character of JohnBallou to carry the leadership ot * A 0.This being a gathering ot Greek-lettermen, it may not be inappropriate that1 say a word about the fraternity systemin college lite on this continent. In thefield ot pure science and of appliedscience, in medicine, in law, in fact inall branches ot scientific knowledge, collegemen and college women have madean incalculable contribution to the publicgood. Fraternity men are a special groupwithin the larger circle. I have no hesitationin expressing my full confidencein the fraternity system. I recognize, asyou all do, that there are many who dislikefraternities and would have none ofthem. Such persons are perfectly sincere,no doubt, in their opinions, but I ven-

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, itture to suggest that few of them haveformed their opinions from personalknowledge and from personal experience.In the very nature of things, asystem which involves hundreds of differentsocieties, some with thousands ofmembers scattered across the whole continentin a hundred or more colleges anduniversities, is bound to disclose isolatedcases and isolated experiences which arenot truly representative of the best thatthere is in fraternity life. But to thoselike myself, and there must be thousandsin the United States and Canada—who have been privileged to enjoy theintimate comradeship and friendship, theencouragement and the co-operation otthe members of their own particularfraternity, not only during their collegedays but through all their later lite,there cannot be any question of thegreat benefits and advantages gainedwithin the fraternity. After all, friendshipsin life are the precious jewels, andfriendship and scholarship are the realobjectives of college lite. One of yourgreat American jurists, Mr. Justice Cordozo,whose recent death we of the lawin Canada deeply regret, once said:"Ask any youth who has gone througha university what part ot the training hascounted most in later lite. Almost invariablythe first place will be given, notto shreds of information, to book-learningot the schools, but to the transfiguredsense of values that is bom ot companionshipwith lofty minds, the living and thedead."There is a lot of good sense in theold Cambridge toast: "God bless thehigher mathematics, and may they neverbe of use to anyone!"The fact is that many ot our greatuniversities in the United States andCanada have become huge institutions,with enrollment of students running intothe thousands. The fraternity system hasoffered to many a student an opportunityto live at college with a small groupot carefully chosen, congenial fellowstudents,in a house owned and maintainedby their own members, under adiscipline imposed by mature and intelligentmen and with high ideals andworthy practices passed on from generationto generation—a unique opportunityfor close companionship and helpful cooperation.I am entirely satisfied thatthe fraternity life on this continent hasitself made, within the larger sphere ofthe university, a substantial contributionto public and private life. Many of theleaders in professional and business lifein both the United States and Canada arecollege fraternity men.Phi Delta Theta entered Canada in1902 with the founding of our McGillcliapter. In 1906, our chapter at theUniversity of "Toronto was established—and those were the days of a strong antiexpansionistgroup within the Fraternity.We were preceded in both universitiesby Z *, A A *, A K E, and K A, and manyhave followed us. Today, $ A © is tarflung across the northern part of thiscontinent, with chapters at DalhousieUniversity in Nova Scotia, McGill Universityin Quebec, the University of Torontoin Ontario, the University ot Manitobaat Winnipeg, the University ofAlberta at Edmonton, and the Universityof British Columbia at Vancouver.The Fraternity is no longer a nationalunit. It is in tact international in itsactivities and in its friendships.What an influence, then, are thesecollege fraternities in their wide internationalscope and relations! They havebecome a great agency tor better understandingand tor good will among collegemen of the two countries. Whatmore beneficent influence can there beamong nations than the constant meetingand mingling of their college menas friends and brothers? The real basisof understanding and of friendship andof good will among nations lies in theintimate personal contacts ot the individuals.If nothing else could be creditedto the American fraternity system, itwould be enough and to spare that ithas brought into the closest of personalfriendship, college men of the UnitedStates and Canada.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938 121And yet we are citizens of two differentcountries and live under different flags.We are two distinct and separate nationsand I venture to think we-shallso remain. No one, so far as I know,advocates or contemplates anything inthe nature ot a political alliance. We areseparated, flag from flag, nation fromnation, sovereignty from sovereignty. Butthe things in which we differ are purelypolitical; the things in which we arealike are as deep rooted as life itself,won in a thousand years of historic background,with a common language, acommon law, a common literature, acommon faith in the same ideals ofliberty and of justice. We live side byside without the slightest feeling of fearor unrest. The thought never occurs tous. What a bold contrast with other partsof the world today! What an exampleot democratic institutions! On this continent,nothing obscures the essentialfriendships of the American and theCanadian peoples. Confidence, understanding,good will, security, prevail andabound. We are more than neighbors.We are of the same kith and kin.You are none the less loyal to theStars and Stripes, we are none the lessloyal to the Union Jack, because we feelthat the national spirit which each representsmay be lifted up into an internationalismthat makes the best use ofeach and yet makes each work for theother and tor all others. On the basis ofa strong nationalism there can be builtthe structure of a strong internationalism.And the elements that go to make asound and sane internationalism possibleare elements that are supernational, elementsthat are broadly human becausethey are divine."There is nationalism, internationalism,and supernationalism. The ultimatesecret of good international relations,the ultimate remedy for internationaldiscord, lies in those things that aresupernational, supernatural, that are farabove all national boundary lines. Goodfaith, good will, truth, justice, freedom,brotherhood, love—moral, intellectual.and spiritual factors all. Between thethings that really count in the true lightof nations, there can be no internationalboundaries. They are one; they are human;they are divine.We of both nations believe in thethings ot the spirit. We believe thatnational ideals are of greater importancethan even national realization in thingsmaterial. It is because we believe, I repeat,in the things ot the spirit. Together,we believe in the two outstandingteatures ot Western civilization, law andliberty, and both law and liberty areamong those imponderable, those eternal,those spiritual principles that leap beyondall international boundaries.The last official Canadian statisticsavailable to me show that 345,000 personsborn in the United States are nowresident in Canada, seventy-two per centof whom have become naturalized Britishsubjects. Of all those persons resident inCanada who were bom outside theBritish Empire, the United States makesup thirty-one per cent. No other foreigncountry has half as many. And there isa striking evenness to the widespread distributionof the American-born residents,which affords a unique opportunity tothe freest possible exchange of ideas andcultures. Moreover, the Dominion statisticianhas estimated that on any typicalday in any typical year you can counton 300,000 American visitors within ourgates.The other side of the picture is thatthere are 1,280,000 persons born inCanada now resident in the UnitedStates. Over sixteen per cent ot all Canadian-bornpeople are at this moment livingin the United States. The Canadianbomin the United States, unlike theAmerican-bom in Canada, have largelysegregated themselves in "blocs." That is,they bloc wherever they are found in anythingapproaching large numbers. Threestates contain half the Canadian-bom:first, Massachusetts; second, Michigan;and third, New York State.We are interwoven as threads in thetapestry of life on this great continent.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938We appear to be destined to stand, in theprovidence of God, together, not toraggression, not in lust of dominion, notfor a display of material force to holdthe world in awe, but to exemplify tothe world that two nations pledged tothe preservation of law and liberty maylive together, side by side, in perfectpeace and harmony.Together may we continue to guardthe sacred altars of peace and of freedom,in a spirit of sacrificial fraternity,for the welfare of all men, for the helpingot the world.EXCERPTS FROM THE TOASTMASTER'SREMARKS.. . Dean Hoffman and I were comparingnotes on hick towns. . . .

Andsomebody else has said a hick town is aplace where the curfew bell does notdestroy the sleep ot the citizens.Charlie Yates is a wonderful boy, awonderful speaker and entertainer. Andhe is a great golf player. The only objectionI have to him is that he hasdestroyed the best definition of golf, so taras I am concerned, that was ever known,that which was given by Woodrow Wilson,who was both an experienced golfplayer and knew all the words in theEnglish vocabulary, when he said, "Goltis an ineffectual attempt to put an elusiveball in an obscure hole with implementsill devised tor the purpose.". . .

For example, they talk about Virginiahams, and I guess they're all right.But there was one of these Virginiagentlemen—and he was one from first tolast—bom here, and I suppose will jointhe Chapter Grand here—who went overinto Kentucky one time, where theyreally do have hams. And he had hisnegro cook along with him. After theyhad eaten one ot those Kentucky hams,he asked his host how in the world theyprepared that ham. So, the Kentuckiancalled in his cook and had him explainhow to cook hams. He said, "How do Ifix up this ham? Well, sir," he said,"You get a quart of bourbon and putin there and you just cook it and cook ituntil it kind ot sizzles down, and thenyou get a quart of Scotch and put thatin there and you cook it until that simmersdown well, and then you get aquart of rye and put that in there andcook that for fifteen or twenty minutes,or a half hour, until finally that allsimmers down. And then," he says,"you'se got a pretty good ham."And the Virginian said to his cook,"Now, what do you think of that ham?"

Since Charlie McCarthy homedin, ventriloquism is coming back, andsome say it is the last word. I would likelo tell the story of two actors, one ofwhom happened to be a ventriloquist.They fell on evil days and got down toalmost their last dollar. So one ot themsaid, "Well, let's go down and have anotherdrink." As they approached thebar room, a little dog ran across theirpath in front ot the door. One ot themthought he was a pretty good dog, so hecaught him. And he took the dog alongwith him and set him up on the bar. Thebartender said, "What will you have?"One said, "I'll have a straight whiskey."The other said, "I'll have abrandy." And just for tun, he said to thedog, "What will you have?" And the dogsaid, "I'll have a ham sandwich."The bartender was astonished at thedog asking for a ham sandwich, and hesaid, "Does that dog talk?"The actor said, "Yes, sir; that's a remarkabledog."The bartender got to thinking it wouldbe a great asset to his business, so heundertook to buy the dog. They told himit was out of the question, that it wasthe only dog anywhere that could talkand speak fluently, it not affluently, andthey couldn't part with him for any consideration.So they went on and had their drinks.And they had a little more money leftand they decided to have another drink.And they said to the bartender, "We'llhave another drink."The bartender said, "What will youhave?"And the first fellow said he would haveanother whiskey and the other fellowsaid he would take another brandy. Thebartender said to the dog, "And whatwill you have?"The dog said, "I'll have another hamsandwich."So the bartender started bargainingagain with them tor this dog. He wentover to his cash drawer and counted allthe money he had—seven hundred andfifty dollars in cash. He said, "I'll giveJOHN J. TIGERT, Vanderbilt '04you seven hundred and fifty dollars forthat dog."But they said, "We just couldn't partwith him. That dog is priceless; we justcouldn't sell him for any amount otmoney.""Well," said the bartender, "I'll go alittle further. I'll give you seven hundredand fifty dollars cash, which is all I'vegot, and I'll write you a note tor twohundred and fifty dollars."They went into a huddle, talked itover, went back and very reluctantlyparted with the dog, let him have thedog for the thousand dollars. Theycounted out the seven hundred and fiftydollars, passed the dog over, and startedout. And as they went out the door, thedog said, "I will not say another damnedword until you pay that note."So, following the example of the dog,I will not say another word, and you aredismissed now without any further ado.

Cruise of the Siren KTHE Siren K proudly lying at anchoroff the Chamberlin Dock with a* A © banner at her masthead was a colorfulpicture at Old Point that attractedmuch attention and added to the sea-BURKE WILFORD, Pennsylvania '22By CLAUDE M. MARRIOTT, Syracuse 'oigoing atmosphere of the Forty-third Biennialgathering of Phis.When the 1938 Convention was tomeet amid scenes illustrious in our navalhistory with a Rear Admiral in attendance,it seemed inevitable that the Philadelphiadelegates should go nautical.Captain Burke Wilford selected a crewfor his 34-foot ketch with much care.Viewed in dungarees it was a roughgroup, but a jolly crew withal. All wereland-lubbers, but all had successfullypassed the one eligibility test—"R-U-A-Phi?"Assignments, sobriquets, and posts otduty were: "Commodore" Bortle, delegateof the Philadelphia Alumni Club,chief cook; "Dry Bud" Read, delegate ofPennsylvania Zeta, cabin boy; "Buckeye"Reese, chief steward; "Doc" Jim Schultz,bo'sn's mate; and "Old Salt" Burke Wilford,captain and skipper.The initial entry in the Ship's Logreads:"5:30 A.M. Aug. 27, 1938;—Port of Departure,—Crockett'sBoat Yard, TownPoint, Oxford, Md.-Longitude 76° 18'W.-Latitude 38° 18' N.-Port of Destination—OldPoint Comfort, Va."With a—"He-e-ave Ho,—My Hearties!"and with anchors aweigh the Siren K setsail fully manned and loaded to thegun'als with duffel and supplies sufficienttor all emergencies on a long cruise. TheCaptain's salutatory to his crew was similarto that of the Old Sea Captain of thePilgrim in Two Years Before the Mast:"Now, my men, we have begun a longvoyage. If we get along well together, weshall have a comfortable time; if wedon't, we shall have hell afloat ... Ifwe pull together, you'll find me a cleverfellow; if we don't, you'll find me abloody rascal. That's all I've got tosay."The Log ot the cruise is as good readingas pages from Dana's classic of thesea. The sail down the Chesapeake wasfull of incidents—some exciting, manydroll and ludicrous, all most interesting.There was much sea-going talk amongthe members ot the crew during the firstday out. About four bells the lookoutreported a storm off the starboard bow.By noon there was a heavy rain; the sailswere taken in, and the auxiliary enginestarted. Then a jigger sail ripped and anoil lead to the engine started to leak badly.When repairs were completed all werewet through. Lunch was served off PossumIsland and they continued down theEastern Shore under auxiliary power.By evening they were off Crisfield, Md.,where they landed to mingle with thenatives and talk politics. The primarycampaign was at its height in Maryland24]

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938 125and arguments were easily started. Afterdinner at Crisfield the crew returned to"the ship" and found an anchorage inthe harbor. With a change of the windthey discovered they were in the lee ofa fish packing plant. The stench is recordedas "terrible." Such are the entriesin the Log tor the first day out. A notewas added reading—"Crew starting tofunction well."The second day was Sunday, August28, and the weather was ideal tor sailingdown Tangier Sound. About four in theafternoon they cast anchor and landed atConcord Wharf on the Virginia Peninsula.Here they were entertained by agroup at a house-party including severalguests from the University of Virginia.In jockeying for a new anchorage theSkipper sailed directly into the course ota local regatta which was in progress. Aserious situation threatened. The raceswere interrupted and were later calledoff when several of the officials were invitedaboard for "a conference.""Crew mutinous" is the entry in theLog tor Monday morning, August 29.Then follows a note—"Captain irate becauseof no milk for his coffee." Later anentry reads—" 'Tarzan' Hart assumespants preparatory to landing at OldPoint." At 2 P.M. the Siren K tied up atChamberlin Dock and the crew reportedat Headquarters. No mention is made inthe Log of any difficulties encounteredwith Custom Officers or in passing Quarantine.During the Convention many sailingparties were taken out for "joy rides" onthe waters surrounding Old Point Comfort,Newport News, and HamptonRoads made famous by the First Battleof Ironclads between the Monitor andthe Merrimac and by many other navalencounters.It has been hinted that several importantmeetings of the Naval Board ofStrategy were held in the cabin of theSiren K during the Convention whenweighty problems were considered withmomentous results.

New Men of the CouncilWat Tyler Cluverius,Tulane '95IN May 1938, a landing party from thePhiladelphia Alumni Club made itsway into the U. S. Navy Yard at LeagueIsland, and gained the office ot the Com-ADMIRALCLUVERIUSmandant without its intentions beingdiscovered.On all sides were engines of war. Submarineswere being reconditioned andmade seaworthy. Destroyers were creepingin and out of the harbor dressed inominous grey. Great battleships werepoised, about to slide down the launchingways. The din of riveting hammers,the crash ot huge steam hammers, blastsof escaping steam, puffing locomotives,and the shrill screams of warning whistlesshattered the air. Great guns wereswinging aboard new ships of the line.The roar of propellers overhead and thesinging ot machinery told of a multitudeof aircraft in the air and in course offabrication. Armies of workmen and ar-tisans bustled about their labors. Itseemed as though a whole city werehurrying to prepare for war.Having surrounded the commandingofficer, the Phi landing party named itsterms: complete surrender and permissionto present his name tor membershipon our General Council.Surrender was not complete, butBrother Rear Admiral Wat T. Cluveriusdid not say "No!" That he was takentotally by surprise was apparent, and hewas obviously pleased by the suggestion.Later, he capitulated, and at the OldPoint Convention was made a memberof the General Council.Wat Tyler Cluverius was born at NewOrleans December 25, 1874. He graduatedfrom Annapolis and was commissionedEnsign in 1896. In 1900, he marriedHannah Walker Sampson, daughterot Admiral Sampson, the chief in commandin Cuban waters during the Warwith Spain. Mrs. Cluverius died January20, 1938.Recently I inveigled one of his navalaides into giving me the Admiral's officialrecord. It reveals his promotionthrough all grades to that of Rear Admiral,May 30, 1928. Among his highcommands at sea have been those of theSecond Division of battleships, Chief otStaff of the United States Fleet, theFourth Cruiser Division, and the BaseForce of the Fleet. Ashore he has hadduty at the United States Naval Academyand the Naval War College and hasbeen Commandant of the Navy Yard atNorfolk, the Ninth Naval District andthe Great Lakes Naval Training Station,Chicago, and, since June 1937, the FourthNaval District and the Navy Yard, Philadelphia."The official record is a marvel of understatement.It does not mention thatBrother Cluverius was initiated into*A0 at Tulane in 1891 and thatthrough excellence in scholarship he[> 26]

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938 127qualified tor the Naval Academy in 1892.Casual mention is made of his presenceas a midshipman on the U.S.S. Mainewhen it was blown up in Havana harbor,and that Cluverius barely escaped withhis life. In like manner the Official Recorddoes not expound upon his leadershipwhen he led the landing party thattook Vera Cruz in 1914.Nor does it adequately describe hisarduous duties during the Great War inlaying the mine barrage across the NorthSea. Here his U.S.S. Shawmut was inconstant danger of submarine attack;the ship was at the mercy ot howlinggales and tempestuous storms, an adventurethat gave men grey hair.His Distinguished Service Medal, hisOrder of Leopold of Belgium, the Legionof Honor ot France, the Order ofthe Crown of Italy, and the Order ot St.Olav of Norway, testify to his braveryand intelligence in command.In accordance with the laws of ourcountry. Brother Cluverius retires fromthe Service on January 1, 1939, at NewOrleans, whence he was inducted into theNavy forty-six years ago.From his intensely active life in ourNavy, Brother Cluverius now comes intothe active service of * A ©. His wonderfulexperience in training young men is nowto be applied toward the perfection ofour own Fraternity.His interests have always been inyoung men and in * A 0. He has not forgottenhis happy days as an undergraduatein the chapter at Tulane. When hespeaks at a chapter house, or replies to atoast at an alumni banquet, his auditorsexperience an exhilaration in spirit anda surge ot love tor our Country and ourFraternity. His more informal conversationssparkle with engrossing interest. Asone undergraduate expressed it: "It Iwere a rushee, and were to meet theAdmiral, I would know immediately thatI desired to join his Fraternity." He radiatesa feeling of youth and optimism,tempered with mature judgment and enthusiasm.He is happy in his new duties on theGeneral Council. Our Brotherhood willcertainly gain immense profit from hiswealth of attainment, his broadness ofvision, and his energetic interest in thefurtherance of the ideals of *A0.—ROBERT WILLIAM BAILY, Wisconsin '07.Emmett J.

Ruby.Published by the Fraternity, 1938. 86 pp. $0.50THE Editor of the SCROLL, to whomwe are already indebted, has earnedour gratitude again for this careful, accuraterevision of the late BrotherPriest's The Phikeia: His Book. Here ina handy, well-printed pamphlet is thestory ot our Fraternity from its beginningto the present; its origin, history, and organization,its ideals, its aims, and so taras they can be set down on paper, somethingot its achievements.The newly pledged Phikeia can turnto this booklet for answers to his questionsabout * A 0; the chapter adviserand officers will find it an indispensableguide during the period of pledge training,with a good section of examinationquestions tor the Phikeia; the active Phiwill recognize in the excellent sectionheaded "The Phikeia" the criteria bywhich he too should measure his ownstature in relation to the qualificationtor the true Phi. The roll ot chapters ishere, with photographs ot over a hundredchapter houses; a list ot distinguishedPhis, with some sixty pictures, and amap showing the geographical distributionot active chapters.The whole is brief and readable, preparedwith a happy sense of balance anda nice appreciation for felicitous phrasing.It is a welcome thing to have ourFraternity come out so strongly that"loyalty to the college must stand first";or that "quiet refinement is ot greatervalue than athletic prowess, it minus refinement."It is well tor the active chapterto be reminded that they alone donot constitute that chapter, but that "afraternity is the sum of the memoriesstored up by generations of alumni, plusthe cumulative experiences from fresh-

Wehope that in the next edition the indexwill bring out the names ot the menwhose photographs are reproduced (thechapter house pictures are arrangedalphabetically), and that somewhere inthe Manual the division of provinces willbe indicated, perhaps on the map ofchapter distribution. It would likewisebe helpful and interesting in the sectionof "Famous Phis" to have some symbolindicate that a man now holds the positionot prominence under which he islisted. Even the Phikeia will know thatBenjamin Harrison is not the Presidentof the United States; will not many, however,experience some confusion whenthey find Gordon K. Chalmers listed aspresident of Rocktord College.and KenyonCollege, or G. P. Benton as presidentot Miami University, University ot Vermont,and the University of the Philippines?But these are minor points. The importantthing is that The Phikeia: HisBook has now quite properly become"The Phi: His Book"; every Phi, whetherhe be active, pledge, or alumnus, willhere find interest, pleasure, and profit.Custodian of the Founders RoomBy PAUL C. BEAM, ExecutiveTHE choice for the great honor ofserving for a year as Custodian of theFounders Room falls upon Jack Storms,CUSTODIAN FOR 1938-39SecretaryMiami '40. It is hard to imagine a moredeserving recipient. The criteria of theaward are ot three sorts: eminence inscholarship, leadership among collegemates, and devoted service to * A 0. Theappointment is the equivalent of a universityscholarship, and is open to anactive member of Ohio Alpha, a juniorin Miami University.Brother Storms was bom in Dayton,Ohio, in 1918. He prepared for collegeat Oakwood High School, where his recordwas such as to entitle him to a threeyeartuition scholarship in Miami, andhe won letters in high school in toursports.In his freshman year at Miami, besidesbeing elected to * A 0, he was honored bymembership in * H S and earned freshmannumerals in football, basketball, andbaseball. In his sophomore year he was invarsity football and was a member ot theOhio Alpha golf team, which won theintramural championship. As he entershis junior year in the College ot Liberal

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938 131Arts, he is again on the varsity footballsquad, and his scholastic record predictshis election to * B K, perhaps while stilla junior.Such is the mettle of the man who isentrusted with the care ot * A 0's shrine—John McMillan Wilson's room in theOld Northeast Building, now renamedElliott Hall, where on that night ninetyyears ago the little group met andbrought * A 0 into being. Its custody isin safe hands.By action of the Board of Trustees ofMiami University this room has beenturned over to the Fraternity to be occupiedby a Phi, and thus continue thestream of sentiment which unites * A 0with its past.A Phi's One-Man CommencementTO George C. Bright, Brown "38, wasreserved the unusual privilege ofhaving a Commencement all his own. Illin a hospital, he was awarded his diplomaby the hands ot his father at the verymoment his classmates received theirs atBrown.Bright, a brilliant student, was votedhis degree by the Board of Fellows onrecommendation of the Faculty, whopointed out that, in spite of the fact thathe had not completed his formal collegework because of illness, his record hadbeen of such unusual excellence that hemerited his degree. It was the first timein the history of Brown that a degree wasgranted under such circumstances.Brother Bright prepared for college atCentral High School, Scranton, Pa., andentered Brown in 1934. He was chosenBy WARREN R. CAMPBELL, Brown 21by the university to spend his junior yearin study in France. While abroad, he wastaken ill. He returned, however, tor hissenior year and continued his studies untilMay, when he was forced to enter thehospital. He was elected to membershipin * B K, and was awarded a fellowshipin the Harvard graduate school.George Bright, known to his Fraternitybrothers as "Judd," belongs to afamily that has brought honors toRhode Island Alpha in other years also.His father, William E. Bright, of theclass of 1907, was on the student governingbody, a member ot Cammarian, andprominent in other undergraduate activities.His brother, William E.

IdahoAlpha gave Ghormley to * A 0 and subsequentlyto the Naval Academy, otwhich he was an honor graduate in 1906.He is fifty-five years of age, which meansthat he is one of the youngest flag officersin the Navy—one with nine years of activeservice ahead of him.In the thirty years since he was commissionedEnsign he has advanced steadilythrough the official grades of theservice, and has frequently been promotedtor special merit. During theWorld War he was Flag Lieutenant otthe Commander Battleship Force of theFleet, and for that service he was awardeda special letter ot commendation by theNavy Department. Transferred to theOffice of Naval Operations in 1918, hewas awarded the Distinguished ServiceMedal by the War Department with thecitation: "For exceptionally meritoriousand conspicuous service as Assistant Directorof Overseas Division, Naval OverseasTransport Service."In 1920, he served as aide to AdmiralMayo, president of the Court of Inquiryinto conditions in Haiti.

Brother Ballou brought thegreetings of the General Fraternity, andspoke on alumni-undergraduate relations.The high spot of the program wasthe presentation by Brother Hugh Packardof a Golden Legion certificate toErnest Emmons Smith, '89, representingtlie charter members of the chapter. Thebanquet was enlivened by spirited singingled by McLeod, '39, choragus, Winslow,'38, and Reusswig, '20, who led thecompany in his own song, "In that MysticGrecian Symbol." The banquet hal'was tastefully decorated with flowers anda silk fraternity flag back ot the speakers'table.The complete success ot the week-endwas assured when on Saturday afternoonAmherst defeated Williams by a score of41 to o with three Phis contributing tothe success of the team, which scored thehighest number ot points ever scored inrecent years against Williams by an Amherstfootball team.After the game Massachusetts Beta entertainedits alumni, guests from Williams,and faculty of the college at aninformal tea held at the chapter house,some two hundred and fifty being present.Here those alumni who had been unableto attend the initiation banquet metwith undergraduates, renewed old acquaintancesand had an opportunity toinspect the numerous house improvements,the new library, the redecoratedTHE INITIATES OF 1938

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938chapter room, and the refurnished commonrooms.From the point of view ot the undergraduates,the whole week-end was a success.We were happy to be the first togreet Brother Ballou in his official capacityas President of the General Council,as well as to become acquainted withhim as a true friend and loyal member of* A ©. We were pleased, too, to be ableto meet so many returning alumni ofMassachusetts Beta and to join with themin reviewing the history of the Fraternityat Amherst.I Visited Texas BetaBy WILLIAM H. MOUNGER, Mississippi '38ARRIVING in the capital of the LoneL Star State with my plans for a summer'swork in the South's largest university,I found myself rather lost—that isuntil the taxi driver opened the door otTexas Beta's imposing home. From thatmoment I have appreciated more thanever before the great national organizationof $ A 0."Here's a chapter like my own," willdescribe Texas I5eta if you believe yourchapter to be tops in its college. No onedid tell me and no one needed to, thatthe chapter is respected and well knownon a campus of ten thousand students;I knew, as each man presented himself,that here was indeed a group of unusualpersonalities, men who excelled in allsorts of fields of activity.To begin at the beginning, I wasgreeted first by House Manager FredScott. There's a little tinge of pride inthe voices of the Texans when you talkof house managers and anyone will tellyou Fred is the best they've had in years.The house, occupying a very beautiful lotjust a block over from the main campus,is a true Southern mansion and has justthis year received a new coat of whitepaint with green trimmings. Inside, too,the paperers and painters have been atwork and when school opens in the fallmany a native son will look twice at thevery attractive quarters. All this is to thecredit of Fred Scott and still more, includinga sun parlor, a sleeping porch,better meals, and a well-pleased brotherhood.As a host for many visiting brothersthis summer he exemplified southernhospitality extraordinary.Bobby McGinnis and Joe Greenhilldangle their * B K keys as they lead oneof * A 0's best scholastic chapters. Withan average either at the top or rangingthereabouts year in and year out, theuniversity authorities are well convincedthat herein lies the reason for the chapter'sinfluence in the vast student body.Others too find themselves excelling inthe honorary orders of the law, engineering,business, and other schools. Greenhillremains to further his scholastic laurelsin the School of Law. To restrict remarksto his scholastic achievementswould be slighting a man who has foundsuccess in a very varied program of collegeactivities. To the average student onthe Texas campus the name Greenhillmeans respect, for he heads one of thecampus' most powerful political parties.Not only a political leader, Greenhill hasproof of popularity in his own right. All-American honors came to the 1937 yearbookof which he was editor, and stillthey measure successful Texas annualsby his publication.When football season takes the limelightone finds Brothers Stan Neeley andBurchell Allinson not only holding downthe end and tackle positions on one sideof the Longhorn line but doing a veryexceptional job of it. Neeley, most expertssay, is headed this fall for an end berthon the All-Southwestern team. What will

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938 137THREE FROM MANY OF TEXAS BETA'S LEADERSSCOTT GREENHILL NEELEYimpress you more about this tall goodlookingbrother is that next year by hisoutstanding scholastic record he wouldbe among the chapter's * B K's but insteadhe has chosen as a co-partner to hisfootball feats the first year law class ofthe University. It is not just hearsay, thistalk ot * B K, for those who know saythat the only thing that will deprive himof that honor is his departure from theArts and Science School. How does he doit?—I don't know. A regular on the gridirontor two campaigns, a scholastic averagehigh enough for * B K, Neeley lastspring in the campus-wide political campaignstacked up the largest majoritygiven to any candidate, being electedVice-President ot the Student GoverningCouncil. Facing a year as an executiveof the largest student body in the South,a regular berth on Dana Bible's Longhornteam, having a marvelous scholasticaverage, and going into one of the toughestlaw schools of the country. BrotherNeeley has not yet found conceit and isstill a grand brother to meet anywhere.There are numbers of other honormen, including Al Wadsworth as thehead of the University Light Opera Company,two men on the tennis team, butI can't go on forever. Lynn Milam, anothergenial host, has turned over thechapter presidency to Ben Powell, abrother I regretted to miss. If I am anyjudge at all of real personality, of culturedgentlemen, and of grand Phis,Brother Powell will next year presideover one of the great chapters of the Fraternity.It was to me a very delightful experienceto be associated with such fine brothersin the Bond. I shall not soon forgetmy roommate. Brother June Morrill,other summer house members, and thebrothers who dropped in for the night orweek-end during the summer months—they were all great hosts to me and to allPhis who came tor the night or a longerperiod. With such fond memories behindme, I find myself happy to be a privilegedmember of this great Fraternity ot ours.Our Front CoverJOHNSON CHAPEL, beloved of all the men ofAmherst, is displayed upon the front cover. Acharacteristic old New England meeting house,it differs from most of them in not being surmountedby a steeple. Its beautiful porch, withits four Doric columns, is one of the strikingfeatures of the campus.Amherst may be fairly described as the perfecttype of the American liberal arts college which,with its curriculum of broad cultural studiesand its emphasis on sound scholarship, has hadsuch an impressive rdle in furnishing the intellectualleaders of the Nation.Massachusetts Beta, now celebrating its fiftiethanniversary, has nobly carried on the finetradition of the famous old College and theequally fine tradition of (|> A 6.

EDITORIALDeanHoffmanRARELY does a man retirefrom a public trust so belovedof his associates asour late President of the GeneralCouncil. It is not merely that he waspopular in the current sense of theword, though he was that to a markeddegree, as many of our officers havebeen. There is in the man a congeriesof qualities that admit him to the intimaciesof hundreds of men. Theysee his sincerity that has no guile andexpects none in others; they feel thesympathy that springs from his warmheart; they admire his courage thatfights for his convictions; they relyon his seasoned judgment that leadswhen there is confusion of counsel.Phi Delta Theta owes Dean Hoffmanmuch. As an administrator he isthe peer of the best; as a leader andfriend of men he is the spiritual successorof the Morrisons and Wilsons,of the Palmers and Bantas and Brownsand DeWitts and Priests who havemade the Fraternity a strong factor inenriching the characters of men.It is our great good fortune that heis available and willing, as he retiresfrom the General Council, to take upthe work, so well begun by the lateFrank Mitchell, of reorganizing andre-enlisting the man-power of ourgreat alumni body. No greater taskconfronts the Fraternity, and no morecompetent and consecrated leadercould have been found for it.Chapter THIS number of the SCROLLLetters sets what the Editor believesis a record, if not for alltime, at least for many a day. ^Ve[»45]present a chapter news letter fromevery one of our 104 active chaptersand, for good measure, one each fromthe groups at the University of Richmondand Louisiana State Universitywhich have been chartered but not yetinstalled.Chapter letters are a time-honoredinstitution in Phi Delta Theta; theyhave survived attacks from generationsof cynical critics, and continue steadilytheir important mission in helpingto consolidate all elements of the Fraternity.In the present instance it is not theperfect record for numbers that sodelights the Editor as the ready cooperationof the reporters. When theSCROLL was ready for the printer, onlyfive letters were missing, and remindersbrought these by the first air mail.It is a cheering thing for the Editorto feel that he has more than a hundreddependable collaborators.Amherst THE celebration of theSemi- completion of their firstCentennial half-century by MassachusettsBeta is an importantmilestone in the history of thewhole Fraternity. Fifty years ago PhiDelta Theta was in the process ofrounding out the chapter roll to becomethe most truly national, now international,of the fraternities. Strongin the Midwest and the South, it wasnow entrenching in the fine old collegesof New England. Vermont hadled the way in 1879, followed by Colbyand Dartmouth in 1884 and Williamsin 1886. These old chapters have mademagnificent contributions to Phi Delta

146 The SCROLL of Plii Delta Theta for December, 1938Theta. Massachusetts Beta has givenus a long line of brilliant, culturedmen and loyal Phis. The whole Fraternityrejoices with the chapter inthe happy auspices for the second halfcentury.Session RECENT Conventions haveof the have left the impression thatPyx the undergraduates had toolittle to say; that, chiefly becausethey hesitated to lift their voicesin debate with their elders, the discussionswere dominated by older men.Old Point Comfort successfully metthat criticism by allotting one-half dayof the busy program to the Session ofthe Pyx. President Hoffman gave fairnotice that the alumni might be auditors,but that they would open theirmouths at their own peril. The delegateswere requested in advance tosubmit questions and problems thatengage their chapters, and from thesesuggested topics the committee incharge selected a half-dozen measuresthat are of vital concern to chapterlife.Comment was general that the Sessionof the Pyx was not only one ofthe most interesting, but also one ofthe most helpful, feature of the Convention.Doubters had feared that itmight be a mere performance or anexhibition; actually, it was nothing ofthe sort. Debate was spontaneous andheated, and brought to light manypolicies and practices in some chaptersthat may be serviceable to others.While it is inevitable that, in orderto maintain a continuous and consistentregime, the administration of theGeneral Fraternity and the managementof the General Convention mustbe in the hands of alumni, it is desirablefrom every point of view thatundergraduate participation be as freeand as full as possible.Revision ONE of the important acofthe complishments of OldCode Point Comfort was thethorough overhauling ofour Constitution and General Statutes,the first general revision since 1922.Obsolete sections and inconsistent orambiguous statutes were amended. Itis worth noting that very few changesof major importance were necessary.The Code is time-tested and is servingwell its purpose. The thanks of thewhole Fraternity are due to the revisioncommittee for their faithfulwork, and especially to Brothers Tallmanand Henward, who spent literallymonths in collating the laws.The Time Grows Short—Alumni!Do you think it quite fair to ask our undergraduate brothers to pay the entire"freight" to keep the administrative wheels of our Fraternity in motion? Once eachyear * A 0 invites all alumni to contribute the modest sum of $2.00 to help defrayoperating expenses, particularly those which have a direct bearing on alumni relations.This year, as in previous years, the response has been generous, but not sufficientlyso to meet our requirements. The contributors are in large part the same loyalgroup ot alumni who have given financial support to the Fraternity year in andyear out. For those of you who have not paid the voluntary dues this year, we urgethat you do so while the matter is fresh on your mind. Your check for the suggestedamount ot I2.00 will be gratefully received at *d0 Headquarters, Oxford, Ohio,—PAUL C. BEAM, Executive Secretary.

South Dakota Alpha's New HomeBy WESLEY C. HOFFMAN, South Dakota '39AFTER twenty years. South DakotaXi. Alpha is going to realize the dreara ofevery member, a new and modem home.On November 15 they celebrated an informalopen house. The new house islocated on the same site as the old. Thereare new and more convenient walks surroundingthe house with an excellent opportunityfor the landscape artist to lethis ideas run wild. The house is done inDutch Colonial architecture. It is finishedin rusty brick, shutters on the windows,white window casings and door framesfurnishing the trim. Six white pillars extendingfrom the first floor to the top ofthe second story distinctly set off the frontof the house.The interior walls are painted white,while the wood work is mahogany andthe floors oak.Although the three-story structure hasa dining hall capacity of sixty, the livingquarters will accommodate twenty-fourmembers, a house mother, and two guests.The dining hall is in the basement wherethere is a game room, kitchen, and severalstorage rooms.The handsome Great Hall extends almostthe length of the house and threequartersof the width. The house mother'squarters take up one end, while alibrary will be on the other side of thecenter hall. The Great Hall is furnishedwith the modem tubular type easy chairs,divans, and end tables and lamps. Concealedwall fixtures furnish the indirectlighting. A huge fireplace on the westend of the Hall will be a favorite spot inthe winter months.The upper floors are devoted entirelyto study and sleeping quarters. The studyrooms each have large closets for thewardrobes. The dormitory style sleepingquarters have double deck bunks, oneroom on each floor being used as a dormi1017. The study rooms will accommodatetwo boys with ample room forseparate desks and book shelves.THE NEW HOME OF SOUTH DAKOTA ALPHA AS IT APPROACHED COMPLETION[147]

America's Crack ShotWILLIAM SMILEY of Kansas Alphais a modest young man of twentywho has a liking for shooting guns, andwho, at the National Rifle Matches atWILLIAM SMILEY, Kansas '40Camp Perry, Ohio, this last summer, wasranked as the best civilian marksman inthe United States. Winner of numerousmedals and trophies, holder of the StateBy CHARLES CURRY, Kansas '40Rifle Championship of Kansas, and oneof the few men in the country to havethe ranking ot Distinguished Marksman,Brother Smiley has been firing a rifle inchampionship competition ever since hewas large enough to hold a gun to hisshoulder.He went to Camp Perry for the firsttime in 1931, at the age of thirteen, whenhe was a member of the team selected torepresent the state of Kansas. He was theyoungest marksman entered in thematches. The National Matches were notheld for the next three years, but theywere resumed in 1935, and Smiley hasbeen a member of the Kansas team eachof the four years since then.It was at Camp Perry in August of thisyear, when he also ranked as the highman on the Kansas team, that Smileymade the record that tops his career as amarksman. In the individual competitionsover ranges of several differentlengths, he made the highest averagescore among over two thousand competitors.As an example of the kind of shootinga crack shot does, he scores ten bullseyesout of ten at three hundred yards,rapid fire, or makes a ninety-seven at adistance of one thousand yards.During 1938-39, Brother Smiley willcaptain the University of Kansas rifleteam, having been high man on the teamfor the past two years. He is a junior,preparing to study medicine and becomea doctor—a doctor for whom shootingwill be a fascinating hobby.New York Alpha's All-AmericanBy CURTIS B. ALLIAUME, Cornell '40OFTEN enough "All-American" impliesrecognition on the gridiron. contribution to the All-American la­lacrosse. Bob Brennan, '40, is *A0'sNew York Alpha has its own All-American,but his game is not football, but from that in football in that it is officrosseteam tor 1938. The award differs[148]

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, ic 149cial: each year the National CollegiateLacrosse Association names a team uponrecommendation of coaches, referees, andmembers of the All-American Committee.A word about lacrosse is in order becauseoutside of a limited area in theEast the game is not well known. It is anold Indian game and has probably beenplayed for a longer time than any otherAmerican sport.The game is staged on a field aboutone hundred and thirty yards long andforty yards wide. Half-way between thesidelines and twenty yards from each endare the goals. These are similar to hockeygoals except that they are fitted with nettinginstead of wire. They are six feethigh and consist of two posts set six feetapart and joined at the top by a crossbar.The effect is a box front with the nettingdraped over the top and brought to atriangle in the back.The "stick" is a wooden shaft four tosix feet long, bent at the top like abishop's crosier or "crosse," from whichthe name is derived. Strips ot gut or rawhideare stretched diagonally across thecrosse, forming a network pocket. Thelacrosse ball is hard india-rubber eightinches in circumference and five ouncesin weight.The play is similar to hockey. The ballis advanced by running and may bepassed from one player to another. Theplayers may not touch the ball, but catchit in their sticks and try to advance.There are ten players on a team: a goalkeeper,three defense men, three attackmen, and three center fielders. The attackmen are stationed near the opponents'goal and try to score. The defense, menprotect the home goal; neither groupmay cross the center line. The centerfielders aid in keeping the ball in playand carry it back and forth. The game isrugged and very fast and has penaltiesand a penalty box like hockey. Shortsare worn and little or no padding, so thatthe players are likely to suffer more orless bruising in the course of a game.The game is very popular in Maryland,where it is played as a major sport. Therea youngster learns to handle a lacrossestick rather than to swing a baseball bat.In New York, New Jersey, and New Englandinterest in the game is intense. It isone of the leading outdoor sports inCanada.Bob Brennan has won his honors in aROBERT BRENNAN, Cornell '40very tough and hard sport. Nineteenthirty-eight was his first year of varsitycompetition. To win All-American recognitionin the sophomore year only makesthe honor seem brighter. As a freshmanhe far outclassed any of the varsity menwho were playing on the mediocre Cornellteam. He scored almost half of allthe goals made by the Cornell team thisyear. Winning such an honor has notmade Bob over-confident; he still playsthe game for the fun he gets out of it,not the publicity.New York Alpha has two others on the

150 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1938Cornell team. Bill Brennan, Bob's brother,played a good game and won his letter;it was his first year of competitiontoo. Ray Mitchell played in several gameslast season and has made rapid stridestowards becoming a first-team defenseman in 1939. Curtis Alliaume won thelacrosse managerial competition.TifiBton and Colman of Union andLucy of Colgate are other New YorkState Phis who have won prominence onthe lacrosse field. Schurr of Syracuse wasassistant manager in 1938.The game has become increasinglymore popular in recent years and is tendingto spread elsewhere than in the East.THIS year those who know the traditionsof Illinois salute Justa M.

Phis in 1938 World's SeriesBy GEORGE BANTA, JR., Wabash '16THERE was a most unusual circumstancein the 1938 World's Serieswhen the New York Yankees, AmericanLeague champions, vanquished the ChicagoCubs, National League champions,in four straight games to win the year'sbaseball supremacy. Each club had a Phiplaying regularly, and both had been animportant factor in the success of theirteam during the regular league season.The accompanying photograph wastaken just before the opening game atChicago. When the contest started LouGehrig, Columbia '25, was at first basefor the Yanks and served as their captain,while Carl Reynolds, Southwestern '26,was in center field tor the Cubs. Carl wasin a tragic batting slump so that he failedto hit safely during the series, but Louwent rambling along and did his sharein the decisive beating which his clubadministered to the hapless Cubs.Known as the "Iron Man" ot baseball,Gehrig has set an all-time record by playing2117 consecutive league games andhe is still going strong.

The invitations were sentout in the form of Summons and Complaint demandingthe presence of fifteen; all obeyed exceptLonsdale Green, Jr., of Westville, N.J., andAlpheus W. Koontz, of Ottumwa, Iowa.

Fishing, golf, and gabfests werethe order of the day. Some of the men had notseen each other since college days, and there werea lot of things to be discussed. They recalled, forinstance, an occasion when several of them, playingon the university basketball team, traveledto Minneapolis to play the University of Minnesota.The thermometer read fifty-four degreesbelow zero that night, and they were glad to getback to Illinois.The little group stuck close together whilethey were in college. In their freshman year, theyall resolved to achieve some position of importanceon the campus and everyone of them did.One was captain of the football and basketballteams. Another was manager of the teams; a thirdwas connected with the Daily Illini; and anotherwas president of the Athletic association. Theothers were all with campus organizations orathletic teams.Their energetic leadership in college was aprophecy of their success in after life. Every manof the group has found his place and has filledit with distinction.They separated with loud praise of their host'shospitality and warm and affectionate sentimentsfor their Fraternity.B. M. L. ERNST, Columbia '99, attorney for theAmerican Civil Liberties Union, is vigorouslydefended in Walter Winchell's column againstthe aspersion that he is a Communist. Afterenumerating a half score of persons of widelydifferent beliefs whom Brother Ernst has defended,Winchell asks, and answers: "Why doesMorris Ernst bother to help his fellow-man,even if his fellow-man is an enemy? . . . Becausein 1848 his father was a political exile(Austria persecuted the old man until he wasforced to leave the land) and ever since Morriswas old enough to yell loud he has fought forall refugees—and for political asylum in theseUnited States."

He added,'when I first arrived in Seattle, I'd take a strollby walking around the block—you wouldn't catchme crossing any streets.""When he reached California, he bought his'first suit of clothes in twenty-five years—I wearbuckskin at home.' Asked if he intends to takehis new clothes back to Anan, he replied witha grin, 'nol if I take back myself, I'll be lucky.*"

KIMBALL, Michigan State '95, ChiefMeteorologist of the New York Weather Bureau,recently offered a plan for tracing stormsand keeping a closer watch on hurricanes in themaking. Following the unprecedented hurricanewhich swept the Atlantic and wroughthavoc and destruction to Long Island and NewEngland during the late summer a questionarose in the minds of many—"What can be doneto send out hurricane warnings more expeditiouslyand frequently?" Dr. Kimball said thatwith the resources at his command the bureaucould have given no more adequate warningthan it did. The only way the freakish courseand unprecedented speed of the great hurricanecould have been more promptly and adequatelycharted would have been to have governmentships at sea following its path and reporting itsdirection and scope. Under his direction theWeather Bureau is rapidly developing the obtainingof improved reports on upper-air conditionsthrough the co-operation of the army andnavy and commercial airplane companies. Theseagencies give reports on barometer readings,pressure, temperature and wind velocities. Thisinformation will assist greatly in following thecourse of destructive storms in the future sothat prompt warnings can be sent out to thesections lying in their path.SENATOR TOM CONNALLY, Texas '00, known asone of the Senate's silver-tongued orators wasthe principal speaker at a giant public meetingheld in the Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston,Tex., by the Houston Association of Life Underwriterson the evening of September 20 duringthe forty-ninth annual convention of the NationalAssociation of Life Underwriters held inHouston, September 19-23.

m^THE SCROLLOF PHI DELTA THETAFEBRUARY 1939

A PHI who requests that all names in the episode be suppressedhas submitted the following letter from an undergraduate Phi toan alumnus following the latter's enrolment in the GoldenLegion. The letter is published as showing a typical example ofthe influence which the older brother can, and in countless instancesdoes, exercise on the college boys. It is not often that theseheart-to-heart relations are revealed, but they are the very life ofthe Fraternity.DEAR BROTHER:Young men always look lo their elders for examples and imagesof what they would like to be themselves. For that reason, it ismost important that men who are connected in some way withyouth should do all in their power to set that example.I have always admired your attitude toward young men and thekindly respect that you have shown them. In turn you have gainedtheir respect and confidence. I only hope that some day I can havethe admiration and confidence of the yoUrig men that you nowhold.For fifty years you have been affiliated with my Fraternity andthey have been fifty years of loyalty and friendship to the organization.You have been marked by your endearing friendship toPhi Delta Theta. May I, as an active member of Phi Delta Thetathank you for being one of its most loyal and substantial alumni.I wish you many more years of fine health and undying loyalty toour Fraternity.Sincerely, yours in Ike Bond,

The presentation was theclimax of two busy days, January 9 and10, devoted to the ceremonies o£ initiationand installation.Forty Phis representing a dozen chaptersassembled in the Episcopal Center onthe L.S.U. campus at 10 o'clock Fridaymorning and were called to order byMajor A.

He introduced the officersappointed for the installation: John B.Ballou, President of the General Council;Rear Admiral Wat T. Cluverius, memberof the General Council; Paul C.

The guests included membersof several other fraternities and allexpressed pleasure that * A ® is nowrepresented at L.S.U. Dr. Irwin's finehospitality was deeply appreciated by thePhis and is acknowledged in behalf ofthe whole Fraternity.DELTA PHIFor almost twenty years the project otplacing a chapter of * A ® in LouisianaState University has been debated.Always insuperable obstacles presentedthemselves to prevent it. Groups petitionedthe Survey Commission repeatedly,and on two occasions formal petitionswere presented to the General Convention,but to no avail. Two years ago thesentiment of the whole South was overwhelminglyin favor of entering the university,and with the encouragement ofLouisiana Alpha a local fratemity wasformed with the express purpose of applyingfor a charter. The adviser wasMajor John Edwin Hull, Miami '17, thendetailed as an officer in the R.O.T.C.Only the preliminary arrangements werecompleted, including the selection offourteen men to form the nucleus of thegroup, when at the end of the academicyear 1936-37 Major Hull was transferredto another command. Fortunately, he wassucceeded by another Phi, Major AlfredV. Ednie, Pennsylvania '18, who provedto be a genius in organizing and collaboratingwith young men. Under his guidancea group of thirty men were assembledand welded into an efficient and aggressiveorganization. The individuals exhibitedstrong leadership in every phaseof college life: high honor men in scholarship,commanding officers in the military,top-flight athletes, class officers inmany departments, and members of allimportant honorary groups in the University.On its first appearance in scholasticratings A* stood third among thetwenty-odd fraternities at the University.Having been approved by the SurveyCommission and by the chapters inTheta Province, the Delta Phis were authorizedto present their petition to theOld Point Comfort Convention. JackBushman and Towner Pringle were theirrepresentatives at the Convention, and byan overwhelming vote the General Councilwas directed to issue a charter.Louisiana Beta enters the Fratemityunder the most happy circumstances, welcomedheartily, and assured of universalco-operation in establishing a strongchapter in their great university.LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITYThe University owes its origin to certaingrants of land by the Federal Governmentin 1806, 1811, and 1828 forthe establishment of an institution ofhigher learning, but the university wasnot opened until i860; it was located at~^,"«W?^»^' Jf^^fT^^ mTHE GREAT ARENA AT LOUISIANA STATE

He resigned his presidencyat the outbreak of hostilities in theWar between the States. The universitywas closed from 1863 to 1865, and in 1869was moved to Baton Rouge. For nearlyforty years it occupied the old UnitedStates Army Post which had been turnedover to it in the city of Baton Rogue.In 1826, the university moved to thesplendid site embracing nearly five thousandacres on the Mississippi, about twomiles from the city. Here has been developedone of the most complete andefficient university centres in America.Last spring, in connection with a greateducational conference, buildings werededicated whose aggregate cost exceededten million dollars. Library and laboratoryfacilities are equal to the best in thecountry. Means have been available toassemble a well-trained and well-balancedfaculty.

The Chapter House LibraryBy ROBERT W. CHRIST, Amherst '30AS a librarian I had been much interjt\ested during the past few years inthe discussions of various fratemity anddormitory libraries which had appearedin library journals, and as a member of$ A 0 I was particularly gratified by thereports of such libraries in a few of ourchapter houses. The prospect of a libraryfor Amherst gave me the opportunity andincentive to review these articles and toconsider the theory and function of thechapter house library and its place in thehfe of the fraternity and in the educationalscheme.The whole meaning of such a libraryis dependent upon the acceptance of twocommonly held assumptions: first, thatthe reading of worth-while materials isof value, and second, that the formationof the reading habit is desirable. Thisdefines the two chief functions of thefratemity library: the provision of worthwhilereading matter, and the formationor development of the reading habit. Thelibrarian of Pennsylvania State College,which was one of the leaders in the encouragementof fratemity libraries, haspointed out the familiar and lamentablefact that "all too frequently the collegesenior leaves his Alma Mater with lessrespect for books than when he entered. . . whereas books and reading and thecultural education derived therefrom areamong the few things the college graduatecan take away and develop in afterlife." The college, and the fratemity asa part of the college, must prepare itsgraduates for the profitable use of leisuretime, recognizing that the problem isnot only how to work, but how to livewhile working.The fratemity system has been underscrutiny at many colleges and universitiesduring the past several years, andthroughout the country its place in oureducational system has been questioned.We are told repeatedly that if the fraternitiesare to exist at all, they must takean increasing part in the educationalscheme of the college; "they should functionmore adequately in educational anddevelopmental experience among the collegestudents who comprise their membership. . . [and] be centers of intellectualand cultural life and expression."The fraternity house takes the place ofIN THE LIBRARY OF INDIANA THETA, PURDUE[201]

202 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for February, 1939the home for an important part of theformative period in the intellectual andspiritual development of tomorrow'sleaders. Many of them have been madephysically beautiful, sometimes luxurious,and they are delightful social centers.MANTFXPICCE IN THE LOOMIS MEMORIAL LIBRARY,MASSACHUSETTS BETA, AMHERSThut too many have forgotten that there isno such thing as an attractive home withoutbooks. President Wriston of BrownUniversity has expressed his belief that"if a book is to be read, it is better thatthe student should do it in private andin the familiar surroundings of his dailylife. ... In the privacy of his home heshould cultivate the private life of themind." The relationship of the student tobooks is much like that ot a child tomeasles: he will never voluntarily seek itout, but if exposed to it, will pick it up.The distance of the fratemity housefrom the college or university libraryplays an unsuspected part in the attitudesof students toward reading. Especially inthe larger, metropolitan universities thephysical fact of having to leave the"home" and make a trip of some distanceto the library makes is impossible to usethe library as a resort when only a shorttime is available. It discourages droppingin to check that disputed fact which cameup at the dinner table, and will hencenever be looked up since it wasn't doneat the moment. It tends to make a periodof reading or study a separate and distinctprocedure, divorced from all otheractivities of the college. This may leadto an unfortunate and lasting psychologicalassociation of the idea of study orreading as something apart from living;the use of books becomes thus not anatural, easy part of the life of the student,but just another job to be done, anecessary evil, attended often by physicalinconveniences and discomforts—a tarcry indeed from reading as a part of away ot lite.Coupled with physical distance as afactor in the difficulty experienced in developingthe reading habit is the impersonalityof the college library, a characteristicalmost inevitably increasing with thegrowth in size ot its book collection, itsbuilding, and its parent institution. Theimportance of recreational reading iskeenly felt by most college and universitylibrarians, and in many institutions theyhave taken the lead in building up dormitoryand fraternity libraries, or browsingrooms within the central librarybuilding; some have been able to provideat least a part-time readers' adviser ordirector of such special projects. Butoften an inadquate staff, working underconstant pressure of demands for help onparticular academic problems finds itimpossible to offer the leisurely, informalbookish conversation and "steering"which might open magic gates for a receptivestudent. It is difficult to breakdown the feeling that the college libraryis the place to go only to get througha hundred and thirty-three pages of economicsreading for that quiz at nineo'clock tomorrow morning, and that it isfor purveying such books alone that thelibrarian and his staff are on hand.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for February, 1939 203even just a quiet comer lined with carefullystocked shelves, where a studentmay sink into a comfortable sofa, light apipe, and pick up an interesting book fora stormy evening or even the few minutesbetween classes, or after lunch when thereis neither the time nor the inclination tovisit the college library, may do much tobuild up the cultural background of thestudent, and provide him with the meansfor self-education and self-entertainmentthroughout his lite.In another respect the fratemity librarymay have an advantage over thecollege library. In recent years librarybook budgets have had to be stretched tothe utmost to meet the increasing demandsfor materials for curricular needsof the academic departments. The trendaway from the use of textbooks to theassignment ot important selections froma number of books (to be supplied by thelibrary) has aggravated the problem. Thecollege library can seldom supply in sufficientnumbers to meet the demand the importantnew books, the best sellers thatare being talked about and referred tocasually by this or that lecturer, those interestingworks that do not fit the patternof any one course (or if they do are immediatelycommandeered tor the use ofstudents in that course). Yet these areundoubtedly books that students shouldand would read. The librarian has justbought one copy of the latest revision ofGunther's Inside Europe tor every tenstudents in the course in modem historywhere two hundred are enrolled; whatis he to do when fifty eager students signup to read Rachel Field's All This, AndHeaven Too as soon as it is received?Even it he could afford to buy five copies,and allow each student just a week toread it, perhaps a quarter ot them wouldhave lost their desire and another quarterwould find that pressure of course workprevented their reading it at just themoment their turn came. The fraternitylibrary, on the other hand, by supplyingone copy ot each book where its memberslive, eat, and spend much of their leisurecan make it possible for the history studentto do his reading in an unhurriedfashion, and for twice as many men toread a distinguished piece ot historicalromance.Similar in educational value to the opportunityof living with books is theCORNER IN THE LIBRARY OF OHIO ZETA,OHIO STATEopportunity of participating in the buildingup of a library. The economic depressionfollowed closely on the heels of thenew teaching scheme which depends on~the college library to supply its readingmaterials. Both have contributed to a declinein book buying by students. Yet thedepression has emphasized the tact thatthere are values and satisfactions whichmoney cannot buy, or its loss take away.A fraternity library in which the groupmembers share in the selection of booksand in the contribution of funds maypartially overcome this unfortunate condition.And the task will be helped by theincrease in the number of well-printed,well-edited books now available at lowerprices. Enjoyment of his fratemity librarywill give the student an incentive to find

204 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for February, 1939the means of buying books to keep forhis own, both before and after graduation,and give him valuable training inbook selection.The pleasure of reading will be foundto be contagious in a small group, andthe interest developed by the fratemitylibrary will be transmitted to a determinationto form a personal library aftergraduation if it has not been possible before,and this will carry into the home thestudent may later establish. The incentivefor collecting the greatest Shakespearelibrary in the world came to HenryClay Folger when he was an undergraduateand it is a common admission of menin all fields ot endeavor that many oftheir best-loved and most frequentlyread books are ones which they boughtor first discovered while in college.No one list of Books, prepared by whateverexperts, 'will be completely satisfactorytor every fraternity library. Thereare certain indispensables, to be sure. Asection of general reference books will beessential everywhere for quick reference,to settle arguments, to check statementsof fact in writing papers. Beyond this,the character of the book collection willbe affected by local conditions. A groupliving at some distance from the centrallibrary may wish to buy more heavilyfrom lists of books required as reading incourses being taken by its members. Agroup close to the college library, particularlyif that library has required readingbooks in sufficient numbers, may wishto spend a larger proportion of its fundsfor purely recreational reading. Here thepooled interests of the membership willbe the guide to the type of books andperiodicals ordered, and this will varyfrom year to year.If the motto of the chapter house libraryis Sydney Smith's "Live only in thebest company when you read," any leisurespent there will be both educationaland recreational. It will contribute to theintellectual, emotional, and spiritualgrowth of the reader. Experience hasproved not only that a fraternity librarywill encourage wide and substantial noncurricularreading, but also that scholarshipin the formal sense will thereby beimproved rather than impaired. PresidentWriston has expressed an ideal goalfor college libraries: the greatest good tora fratemity library is in co-operation withthe college library to assist "in the reconstructionof [the student's] outlook uponlite, in the reorientation of his habits ofthought and expression, in the refinementof his taste and appreciation, andhis achievement ot something like philosophicalcoherence in the interpretationot life and experience."Reference Books for the Chapter LibraryBy JAMES T. RUBY, Whitman '27THE past few years have seen thegrowth of real interest in chapterhouse libraries throughout the fraternityworld. Statistics on the number andcontents of such collections are not readilyavailable, but intensive studies as wellas descriptive articles appearing in libraryperiodicals and college fraternityjournals, clearly show the value of thistype of library within the college community.In most cases chapter libraries have"jest growed." Often they had their beginningsin those extra rooms in chapterhouses which served little useful purposesave as catch-alls. The accumulations ofsuperseded texts from year to year wererelegated to these rooms, shelves werebuilt after a time, and the rooms became"chapter libraries." Or, frequently,shelves provided by the architect in theliving room, or an adjoining room, werefilled by hit-or-miss methods with anykind of reading matter, so as to avoid thatempty look.If we admit that there is a place for

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for February, 1939the chapter library, it seems evident thatone of its most vital tasks is to furnishspecific information, through referencebooks, to members of the chapter in connectionwith their courses, or their extracurricularactivities, no matter in whatfields. Is it not strange that discussionsof fraternity libraries have as a rule failedto include recommendations of books forchapter collections? The writer hasundertaken this task realizing only toowell that, in newspaper parlance, he issticking his neck out, since no three librarianswould agree precisely on a basiclist of reference books.Users of the list which follows are cautionedto remember that it includes onlyforty of the more essential reference materials,representing suggested expenditurestotalling only $300, in realisticrecognition of limitations imposed bythe ordinary chapter budget. A wellroundedchapter library, as the writer hasinferred previously, should include notonly the titles listed and as many other205reference works as are applicable to thecollege curriculum, but also a goodlyselection of the classics, fiction, and otherrecreational reading. Thus the presentlist represents only the foundation uponwhich a tmly useful collection may bebuilt.Members ot the chapter should consultthe college librarian before undertakingany considerable number of purchases.In addition to receiving sound advice onthe development of their library, membersmay be able to arrange to buy booksthrough the college library, with the advantageof discounts.In cases where there is little choicebetween two or more reference books ofthe same type or subject field, the severaltitles are listed.Latest available information on imprintsand prices is given for each title,but reference books are being revised constantly.In ordering these items, therefore,delivery of the latest edition shouldbe stipulated.SUGGESTED LIST OF FORTY BASIC REFERENCE TOOLS FORCHAPTER HOUSE LIBRARIES^I.

Our New Alumni CommissionerByALAPSE of time is sometimes necessaryto evaluate properly the servicesrendered by an individual to anorganization or to a movement, but therewill be none to question the statementthat Dean Hoffman's outstanding leadership,both before and after his elevationto the Presidency of the General Council,is gratefully appreciated by all who arefamiliar with the record, and that thevalue of his constructive genius will becomeincreasingly apparent with thepassing of the years. There are those whocould pay more eloquent tribute to hisyears of devoted service than this biographer,but none who has a more intimateknowledge or a deeper appreciationof the value of his contributions to theFraternity's welfare.A review of some of the events of hisadministration is necessary in order torealize the magnitude of the problems hewas called upon to face. The failinghealth of Arthur Priest, who had for somany years conducted the details ofFratemity administration with such conspicuousability, made it necessary tofind some one to relieve him of thoseburdens. In Paul Beam, a successor toBrother Priest was found, whose abilityand whose grasp of the situations involvedwere such that the period of transitionwas reduced to a minimum. Notwithstandingthis fact Brother Hoffman'ssense of responsibility during that periodof transition can be readily understoodand appreciated.Again, he had to face the problemsinvolved in the change in the editorshipand management of the SCROLL and Palladium,owing to the death of Frank J.R. Mitchell. Here again a solution wasquickly found owing to the availabilityand recognized ability of Edward E.Ruby. But such important changes inadministrative personnel cannot takeplace without adding to the burdens ofJOHN B. BALLOU, P.G.C.[209]the one upon whose shoulders the responsibilityfor maintaining a continuityof administrative efficiency necessarilyrests.In addition to these duties he traveledDEAN MECK HOFFMAN, Dickinson '02from coast to coast, bringing messages ofgood fellowship and cheer to countlessactive chapters and alumni clubs, andcarrying on at the same time a correspondenceso voluminous that it is notsurprising that the great state of Pennsylvaniaslid back into the Republicancolumn in the absence of his guidinggenius at the Democratic helm.The SCROLL for December carried thebrief notice that Brother Hoffman hadbeen appointed to and had accepted theposition of Alumni Commissioner. Generationsof Phis to come will gratefullyremember the outstanding services whichthe beloved Frank J. R. Mitchell renderedto the Fratemity in that capacity.But upon the conclusion of his term otoffice as President of the General Council,

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for February, 1939to which he was not eligible for reelectionunder the laws of the Fratemity,it was obvious to every Phi familiar withthe situation that there was no one soeminently fitted to build upon thefoundation which Brother Mitchell hadlaid as Dean Hoffman. And to no onewas this more apparent than to RobertA. Gantt who, at a great personal sacrifice,had carried on so ably the workamong the alumni in the interim whichfollowed Brother Mitchell's death. It wasto Brother Gantt's very great credit thathe was foremost in pointing out toBrother Hoffman the need of the Fraternityfor the character of service whichhe was so conspicuously equipped torender, and in urging that he continue togive the Fratemity the benefit of his longand varied experience.The mantle of Frank J. R. Mitchellcould not have fallen upon more worthyshoulders. There are many cities whereinthe alumni are realizing to the full thebenefits to be derived for themselves andconferred upon others by the more intimatecontacts which participation in theaffairs of an active alumni club afford.The development and further extensionof this activity is one of the most importantfeatures of successful Fratemity administration."That the Fraternity canlook forward to a continued growth inalumni activity under its new AlumniCommissioner, and that the members ofboth the active chapters and alumni clubswill greatly benefit as a result of the increasedactivity and interest which hisleadership will inspire, can be predictedwith entire confidence.Again Two Phis for OxfordTHE Rhodes Scholarship appointmentstamps the winner as a manfitted, by natural ability and sound discipline,to profit from unusual educationalopportunities.

He is now presidentof the Victoria athletic association.Although he is interested in only a fewuniversity societies, Ted Hodgetts is oneof the most active and enthusiastic ofPhis. Evidently well trained at home byhis elder brother, Albert Hodgetts, whois also a Varsity Phi, Ted refused even tobe rushed by other fraternities when hecame to Varsity, and wore a Phikeia buttonas a freshman.

Guiding Chapter PubHcationsBy ROY FRENTZ, JR., Northwestern '36WHEN Johnny Phi '40 hung hisSword and Shield emblem upon thethrobbing bosom of a cuddly coed, hisworthy undergraduate brothers receivedcigars and many a chuckle.Johnny's accomplishment received afull column of mention in the chapterpublication, the editors of which delightedlygave details on how the pinhangingtook place, where, when, who,and why. Forty undergraduates chuckledagain when the publication came off thepresses.A day or two later the four hundredalumni brothers, scattered all over theUnited States, obtained copies of thepaper. As each eagerly scanned thecolumns, hundreds of eyes ran across thefeature on Johnny's pin hanging. Manynoted that Johnny's column occupiedmore space than the entire section devotedto alumni news.Unfortunately, too many * A © chapterpublications during 1937-38 stressedJohnny's affairs of the heart, while passingover many events of importance tothe chapter and to the alumni.A study of the various chapter publicationsissued by * A © during 1937-38has shown that more than half appear tobe written only for the undergraduatechapter. News of interest to forty men isemphasized, that of interest to four hundredis hidden. However, here and thereamong * A 0's chapters may be founda shining example of how a publicationshould be edited, and it is noteworthythat most of these chapters are fraternally"strong."The major task of a chapter publicationis to keep the alumni interested inthe Fraternity. But those publicationswhich are seemingly written for the undergraduatesnot only make dull readingfor the graduate brothers, but fail completelyin their endeavor toward solidify-[a >3]ing the entire chapter membership into aco-operative group.Phi Delta Theta chapter publicationsfor the year 1937-38 show an almostunanimous tendency to "let the alumniknow what the chapter is doing." Thepolicy has resulted in a number of publicationswhich do nothing else, whichcompletely pass over the fact that alumniprefer most of all to read about the menthey knew in college, about themselves.With few exceptions * A 0 chapterpublications during 1937-38 were mechanicallygood. Headlines attract, storiesexplain, engravings are tastefully displayed,and the publications as a wholeare pleasing. Most chapters have amongtheir members men who possess journalistictraining; some chapters believe theirpublications to be of sufficient importanceto justify professional aid.Phi publications for 1937-38 ranged insize from the enormous annual newspaperof Ohio Alpha, to a small handbooksize used by several chapters. Somechapters attempt to make up by elaborateannual publications their shortcomingsin frequency of issue.The recent trend to picture magazinesin the United States appears to be havingits effect upon the publications. Illustrationswere used to good advantage innearly all papers. Many evidenced a dislikefor the formally posed pictures, infavor of more lifelike and natural illustrationssuch as those of Time magazine.The Webfoot Phi, issued by OregonAlpha, was cited at the Old Point Comfortconvention for its excellence in1937-38.

Threechapters—Michigan Alpha, Ohio Gamma,and North Carolina Beta—have publicationsbearing the name The Swordand Shield.Many undergraduate chapter publicationseditors failed to grasp the purposeof the publication which they edited duringIPJ7-38, probably because they hadno way of knowing what to do. Followingis a brief summary of principles which,if followed, will do much to benefit thethousands 0/ $ A © alumni.Two great weaknesses of * A © publicationsare apparent in the issues of1937-38. They are: (1) the "Johnny Phipin-hanging" technique of editorship,and (s) the irregularity of issue of manypublications.In connection with the first point, editorshave asked, "If we don't tell aboutJohnny, what shall we print?" A roughlist of subjects for a chapter publication,in order of their reader interest wouldread as follows: (1) Alumni news; (2)Notes of the chapter's activities—Rhodesscholars. Phi Betes, house officers, interfratemityathletics, varsity athletics; (3)Problems of the chapter—financial, scholastic,pledging, etc.; (4) General Fraternitynews; (5) General college news.About one-half of the ideal chapter publicationis devoted to alumni news, onequarterto chapter affairs, and the remainderis apportioned among the othersubjects mentioned above.In writing stories for the chapter publicationit is well to follow general newspaperand magazine style. Avoid allextravagant phrases, superlatives, andmost adjectives. Facts speak for themselves!The chapter should be modest,and let the facts give the impression. Thealumni will not trust the publicationshould it become known for exaggeration,boastfulness, colored stories.The second weakness of * A © chapterpublications, that of irregular issues, isillustrated in the listing below. Less thantwenty per cent of the chapters are mailingmore than one publication a yearlThe only way a chapter can interest itsalumni is by showing an interest in them.This can best be done by means of aregular and frequent chapter publicationwhich will furnish alumni with the newsthey are seeking. It has been proven that,to be effective, a chapter publicationshould be issued at least four or moretimes a year. It permits more timely andinteresting news. Often the alumnus isreminded of the chapter only as often ashe hears from it.An important essential in publishing achapter paper is to keep up-to-date addressfiles on the alumni. This is a year'round job which demands constant attentionif it is to be done effectively.National headquarters of * A © makesgreat efforts to keep good files. It is to thechapter's advantage to make an equallyfine effort.Some hints on keeping good files: usethe aids given by the post office; guaranteeforwarding and return postage on allmailings; ask to have notices of addresschanges forwarded to you. The alumnioffice of your college can often give youhelp in finding lost men. Get acquaintedwith the college alumni secretary, and usehis files to check your own. Refer yourlost men to headquarters at Oxford, andyou will get help. This detail work mustnecessarily be carried on from month tomonth, if it is to be done rightly.The job of the chapter publication editoris not an easy one, but it is of greatimportance. When you have edited agood publication which will interest allmembers of the chapter; when you havecompleted your address files so that allmembers will receive a copy; when you

For Hollywood isthe home of four-star radio men, more ofthem members of * A 0 than of any otherfraternity.These Phis came to this mecca of entertainmentfrom chapters throughout theUnited States. They arrived through variouschannels of approach such as musicalcomedies, stock companies, radio, advertisingagencies, and publicity departments.But though they're headlinersnow, they'll tell you boastfully about thefirst-hand qualities of their chapters backhome, about the good old times withChuck, Bill, Steve, and the boys. Thenthey'll ask you a thousand questionsabout your chapter, the lads, the traditions.. . . Suddenly, you'll realize youcame to interview them!It's only a fifteen-minute drive out thefour-lane highway to North Hollywood,where, nestled in a small woodland witha few neighbors, is the long, low house ofKen Niles.You like this beautiful white homewith its high hedge about the front andsides, the tall eucalyptus trees standingsentinel over the gardens.The gardener has hardly clicked thegate behind you when you're sure it'sKen walking along the drive to greet you.His medium height and slim physiquespeak of trackman's qualities, his suavityforetells of a dramatic background, butthe disarming smile is his strongest characteristic.You know you'll enjoy the interview.Then you notice his roughing clothes."Why didn't you say you were planningan outing?" you ask, "Another afternoonwould have done as well for our chat.""Lots of time, lots of time," he smiles,calling you by name. "Just a little fishingwith the boys later on," and he guidesyou within.Seated in the long living room furnishedwith early American pieces, youjoin Ken in a smoke and commence yourbrief interview.Ken tells you he was initiated at MontanaAlpha, but finished at the Universityof Washington. His introduction to radiocame when, as a member of the varsityquartet in 1928, he began singing on acollege program.

2l6 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for February, 1939Following graduation, he became amember of the Duffy Players, a tiramaticorganization heard regularly over KJRin Seattle, which at the time was the keystation for the American BroadcastingNetwork. Later, he joined station KHJ inKENNETH LINCOLN NILES, Montana '28Los Angeles, and was heard over the ColumbiaBroadcasting System.In 1935, Ken became a free-lance announcer,joining the Campbell Soupsfirm. He is heard weekly now as the Voiceof Campbell Soups on the HollywoodHotel program, broadcast over the ColumbiaBroadcasting System each Fridayevening.A review of his best-known programsincludes the George Burns and GradeAllen, Old Gold, and Ken Murray shows,along with the Bing Crosby-Woodbury,the Dick Powell-Ted Fiorito and HollywoodHotel programs. The latter Kenproduced and directed alone for a periodof two months, as well as being its masterof ceremonies for more than a year."But Wen is the announcer in ourfamily who's going places," says Kenleaning forward, smiling with eyes sparkling.With keen interest. Ken tells you ofWendell's rise from college orchestraleader to his present position as Hollywoodannouncer for the ColumbiaBroadcasting System. He details how theMontanians, all of whom were Phis butone, made a complete world's tour underWen's direction, playing on the Leviathan,in the capitals of Europe, as wellas four seasons at Lake Placid."I have two other brothers who arePhis too," says Ken, continuing.Russell Niles is a graduate of the Universityof Montana. He is now an attorneywho teaches at the New York Universityand who spends considerable timedoing research work relative to radiolaw.Donald, the youngest Niles brother, isa graduate of the University of Washingtonlike Ken and, like Russell, is an attorney.Donald taught law at Loyola University,did special radio work at stationKOL, Seattle, and then came to Hollywoodto take his present position in theTrust department of the Bank of America."You'll want to see Earl Anthony ofKFI and his son, Kelly, who are alsoPhis," Ken advises you as you cross thegrounds toward your car. "Then there'sCarpenter and Bunker at NBC as well asLew Crosby at the CBS studios in Hollywood."In your car you thank Ken Niles forhis courtesies and his invitation to return.You turn your car about and presentlyyou're headed for the City of Makebelieve,and another interview.

You see the nonchalant,ever-hatted Jack Benny leisurely strollingpast with the heavy, trudging, voice-raspingAndy Devine following. Andy ischatting and laughing with a newspaperphotographer who is preparing his camerafor a "take."Presently you recognize Ken Carpenterapproaching. When he grips your handyou hear his greeting in that clear vibrantvoice so familiar to you on the BingCrosby-Kraft Music Hall program.He steers you into a secluded comeraway from the traffic, where, once seated,he informs you, "I've got to be on the airin a half-hour and there's Walter Bunkerfor you to meet, so we'll only take a fewmoments to cover my end of the story."Ken was a member of Illinois Zeta atLombard College before the merger withKnox College. Following graduation, hewent into department store advertising.It was not until 1929 that Ken enteredradio. He came west at that time, joiningthe announcing staff at KFI, Los Angeles."And by the way," he adds, "EarlAnthony, the owner of KFI, is a Phi. Hisson is also."Ken was on the KFI staff for six years,during which he did broadcasts for NBCsome of which were Rose Bowl games.Only last September, Ken was chosen todo the Alabama-Southern Californiagame for NBC's nation-wide audience.For the past three years.

All right, I'll giveyou a thumb-nail sketch, but publicity isnot for me—I'm a back-stage man."In crisp statements. Bunker tells youhe graduated as a member of OregonAlpha in '25, went into department storeadvertising for two years before joining adramatic stock company. He played stockon the West Coast and in Honolulu forsome time, then returned to the UnitedStates and entered musical comedies inNew York.In 1929, he entered radio. With stationKFRC, the CBS affiliate station in SanFrancisco, he became chief announcer.Then he plunged into a new venture, becomingbusiness manager for AnsonWeeks and his Orchestra, scheduling appearancesthroughout the country.Two and a half years later. Bunker returnedto radio, coming to NBC in Hollywoodas an announcer-producer. Today,he is NBC's production director for itsentire western division."Speaking of production," says Bunker(cleverly changing the subject), "There's"Ted Sherdeman, the writer, who's doinga real job of it right here at the studios."Enthusiastically Bunker explains.Sherdeman was the perennial Phikeiawho did a Hell Week every year for goodmeasure. He failed in scholastic requirementsfor * A 0, but he has always beenconsidered by his colleagues—and he hasalways considered them likewise—abrother in the Bond.Bunker informs you that Sherdeman'sbackground is one of the finest in allHollywood among radio's writers. He hashad experience in newspaper work, painting,music, and the theatre.At the present, Sherdeman is writing astrip called "Candid Lady" which is sponsoredon the West Coast with expectationsof its being broadcast nation-wide inthe near future."Then there's Lew Crosby over atCBS," says Bunker suddenly. "Lew is agreat announcer and a swell guy."You immediately recognize Crosbywhen Bunker tells you of his announcingthe Joe Penner show, as well as theWoodbury Playhouse.Crosby, like Ken Niles, is a free lanceannouncer. He is under contract to thesponsor and is only heard on the air withhis sponsor's programs."Now," asks Bunker, leaning back andsmiling with relief, "How would you likesome tickets for a broadcast?"Naturally you'd like to see one of thenational broadcasts, and with your answerBunker disappears into his adjoiningoffice to return presently with therequired tickets.Later that evening you enter one ofthe theatre-studios with some four hundredother guests of the broadcast's sponsorto see one of your favorite programs.Tonight you will enjoy it particularly.It's a Phi's production.

One Flag Down; Another UpWITH a thirteen-gun salute Rear AdmiralCluverius hauled down hisflag at the Philadelphia Navy Yard ateleven o'clock on the morning of November15. Thus was brought to a gloriousclose his forty-six years of active service inthe United States Navy.Having reached retirement age. RearAdmiral Cluverius relinquished hisduties as Commandant of the FourthNaval District with headquarters inPhiladelphia to his successor. Rear AdmiralJulius C. Townsend. On December31 he was formally mustered out and honorablydischarged from the Navy at NewOrleans where he was enlisted in 1892.The flag of *A© is now proudly flyingat the masthead as Brother Cluveriustakes up his new duties on a new flagshipas a member of our General Council.A group of Phis representing the Officersand Directors of the PhiladelphiaAlumni Club called at the Commandant'sheadquarters Monday morning,November 14, to bid Brother Cluverius aformal farewell and present to him atoken of their regard and fraternal affection.This was in the form of a silvercigarette case bearing the Fratemitycoat of arms and a greeting from the Clubinscribed.In his presentation Brother Baily,President of the Philadelphia AlumniClub said: "In your two years of officialduty in Philadelphia you have become somuch a part of us that we all feel keenregrets at your leaving. We are cheered,however, by the fact that you are still tobe one of us in a much broader sense.You are now to be "on the bridge" directingthe course of our Fraternity. Wewant you to know that we are all loyalmembers of your crew and, whether onthe quarter-deck or down in the engineroom,we are with you. And—'when youreach for a lucky,' think of us."Brother Cluverius expressed his appreciationof the group of busy men tak-[2ing time out to come to bid him farewell.He said, in part, "I shall never forgethow much you have made me feel atTHE FAREWELLAdmiral Cluverius welcomes his successor.

Our 1938 Gridiron HistoryBy MURRAY S. SMITH, Knox '25IN selecting this year's all-Phi team, Imust first of all give credit to StephenC. Brown, Columbia '32, of East View,New York, for his splendid assistance. Hevoluntarily spent a great deal of time inselecting an all-Phi team that practicallycoincided with the one I had chosen.Football players in * A 0 were moreplentiful than usual this year, especiallyin the backfield, end, and center positions.All-American selections includedTom Harmon, of Michigan, on the secondLiberty Magazine player selections,with honorable mention going to Dolman,Wendlick, Wenzel, ends; CaptainLucy, Kinnison, and Chivington, centers;and Winterholler, Stebbins, Brock, andKohler. Grantland Rice named Brockand Stebbins on his all-American squadof '38. Honorable mention was given toWenzel, Anderson, of Georgia Tech,Chivington, Kinnison, and Harmon.Chivington and Stebbins made Hearst'ssecond all-American team.Fifteen Phis were captains of their varsitysquads, which ties our all-time record.The chapters at Case and Whitmanplaced sixteen and eleven men respectivelyon their squads. Captain John Montgomery,of Ohio University, was placedby Red Grange on his Little All-Americanteam, composed of players fromsmaller colleges. I have adopted his suggestion,and have chosen an all-Phi teaimfrom elevens in our smaller colleges.The records of players during the seasonwere carefully noted by the professionals,and when the draft list wasproduced at the close of the season, thefollowing Phis were preferred. Jack Kinnison,of Missouri, was selected by theBrooklyn Dodgers; Bob Dannies, of Pitt,by the Chicago Bears; Willard Dolman,of California, by the New York Giants;Curly Stebbins, of Pitt, by the ChicagoCardinals; Joe Wendlick, of OregonState, by the Detroit Lions; and DanElmer, of Minnesota, by the Green BayPackers. The Packers already have CecilIsbell, of Purdue, the outstanding Phifootball star of the year, who was selectedon the all-Pro second team by the AssociatedPress and missed the first team byonly three votes.It seems to be the tradition with # A 0to have at least one player competing inthe classic Rose Bowl game at Pasadenaon New Year's Day. This year there werethree representing Duke, who lost a heartbreakerto Southern California in the lastforty seconds of play. Robert Haas andWillard Eaves were regular tackle andhalfback respectively, with Spencer Robbin action as substitute lineman. Haas wasBrock.i Purdue; Stebbins.i Pittsburgh; Larkowich,i Brown; Chivington,».c Georgia Tech[221]

The North-South game at Birmingham, foundElmer, of Minnesota, playing with theNorth. Shirk was found at end for Oklahomain the Orange Bowl against Tennessee,while Kaul, of Utah, started asguard, and Pace at halfback, in the SunBowl against New Mexico.Before selecting the all-Phi team for1938. let us offer a vote of sympathy forHenry A. Brown, of Colorado, who was atackle on last year's team. Because of aknee injury, this steller lineman, whohelped the great Whizzer White to becomefamous, has been unable to playat all. Best wishes for next year.The selection of our end positions thisyear was very difficult because of thelarge number of first-rate players in thisposition. The nod was finally given toWill Dolman, of California, and RalphWenzel, of Tulane. This race was extremelyclose with Costelo, of Illinois,Wendlick, of Oregon State, Warner, ofPennsylvania, and Held, of Arizona. WillDolman needs no introduction to Phifans, as this is his second year at the position.He starred in every game on thetough California schedule and his teamcame within a flash of winning the RoseBowl bid for the second time.

He is a great defensive endand did everything well that an end issupposed to do. He was named all-Southwesternover Wyatt, of Tennessee, all-American selection.There was a shortage of tackle materialthis year, although the two awardedthese positions were strong players instrong lines. The tackle positions wereearned by Larkowich, of Brown, andHaas, of Duke. Both played head-up footballall season. Larkowich, weighing over200 pounds, has been the mainstay of theline of a surprising Brown team whichdefeated Yale, Harvard, and Columbia,and lost to Holy Cross only in the lastminute of play. He was selected by all-American MacLeod, of Dartmouth, onhis all-opponents team. The fact that BobHaas was one of the famous Iron Dukesspeaks for itself. His name was well rememberedby radio listeners of the RoseBowl game as forever breaking up Trojanplays. Gargett must be commended forhis fine work at Michigan State.In the guard positions, we have placedtwo Phi captains. John Chivington, secondall-American from Georgia Tech, istransferred from his center position tofirst-team guard position, where he isequally at ease. This move was made becauseof the abundance of center material.He was a sparkplug of the linealways, and had an uncanny ability atdiagnosing opponents' plays. Chivingtonwas selected by every all-American teamin some capacity. The other guard positionis awarded to Captain John Lucy,of Colgate.

Captain Cox, of Alabama,Dannies, ot Pitt, Kinnison, of Missouri,Connor, of Butler, and Chivington,'whomwe moved to guard, are realstars. We have placed at this positionJack Kinnison, of Missouri, because ofhis consistent selection on all-star teamsas well as his nomination on the allopponentsteams of Oklahoma, MichiganState, and other teams which Missourimet this season. Michigan State selectedhim over Kodros, of Michigan,all-Big Ten center. This six-foot 200-pound giant has been pre-eminent inevery game that his team has played, andhis rise to this choice is beyond questiondeserved.Our backfield this year is composed offour players whose choice was quite decisive.Two of them are sophomores whowill be real stars for two more years. Oneis a junior, and one a senior. Tom Harmon,of Michigan, and Lou Brock, ofPurdue, are chosen as our halfbacks.Curly Stebbins, running-mate of the greatGoldberg, is placed at fullback, and NormanStandlee, Stanford sophomore giant,is our selection for quarterback.

He is an exceptionalball carrier, besides being a starpasser. After each Michigan victory hisname was always in the headlines. CurlyStebbins, of Pitt's dream backfield, wasone of those unfortunates who happenedto be overshadowed by one of the greateststars of all time, Marshall Goldberg.Given an honorable mention as a sophomore,placed on the second team last year,he has finally arrived where he belongs.Weighing about 195 pounds, he can doalmost anything asked of a back. He is aterrific line-plunger, besides being able topass, and is a dependable defensiveplayer. Lou Brock played his head off allseason. He is a triple threat, making longruns, completing many passes, and kicking80 yards once against Ohio State. Hestarred in every game he played, especiallyagainst Minnesota, Fordham, OhioState, and Indiana. Great things are expectedof him next year; he is a junior.Norman Standlee, our choice at quarter,is a 215-pound sophomore and one of thenation's finest triple-threat men. Hisweight and great speed made it possiblefor him to hit every line on the Coastwith consecutive success. Only twice allseason did this giant fail to gain yardage,a most remarkable record.

Twenty-Five Years at Iowa GammaPHIS, to the number of one hundredand fifty, joined in the celebration ofIowa Gamma's twenty-fifth anniversaryand burning of the house mortgage onOctober 21 and 22. The spirit of theBond ran high, with long-separatedbrothers once more recalling the "goodold days" when our chapter struggledalong stubbornly with a heavy mortgageand all the other problems which confronta young chapter.The banquet was largely a tribute toChapter Adviser and Psi Province PresidentA.

Under thecaption "One of the Old Reformers," the ChicagoTribune carried the following editorial regardingBrother King's appointment: "Hoyt King hasbeen appointed Clerk of the United States Districtcourt by Judge James H. Wilkerson to succeedthe late Henry W. Freeman. Mr. King willbe remembered for public activities which are nolonger, fortunately, what they need be in hisyounger days. He was secretary and attorney forthe Municipal Voters' league when a member ofthat fighting organization needed physical courageas well as public spirit, intelligence, and 100proof honesty."Any man who met the political gangsters onthe battlefield chosen by them had to stand upto physical dangers to hold the moral front. Thiswas no teatime reforming job. A fighter in oneof the various citizens' organizations had to gowhere the tough mugs were. He had to meet themon their own ground. He had to face them in thecity councils, in the legislature, and at publicmeetings. He had to keep his temper when insultedand protect himself when attacked."The old plug-uglies of corrupt politics wereorganized for control of legislative bodies and administrativeoffices and did not take the challengeof these earlier Chicago reformers tamely orunderestimate the probable consequences of theattack upon them. Hoyt King was not a powerfulman physically as were, for instance JohnMaynard Harlan and George E. Cole, but he wasan athlete and had what it took in those days."Harlan could stand on a platform and quieta riot of political ruffians by offering to take themon two at a time if they would come up. Theworst of them respected that. George E. Cole'spugnacious chin never retreated an inch fromthreatening fists and cursing only made himsmile.

In the halfcenturysince the plant was established its activitieshave been directed by only four managers, allwidely known leaders of the largest of Americanindustries.Elmore Phelps, who gave up a career in medicinefor a job with Swift & Company, becomesthe great plant's fifth manager as the meat industryenters its third era. First was the periodof salted or pickled meats—packed meats, witha few fresh cuts that could be obtained immediatelyafter dressing the animal. G. F. Swiftand his refrigerator car put an end to that periodand opened the second era—that of great technicalprocessing and distributing developments.Brother Phelps began his career in the industryin 1911, just as that second era was reachingits peak.

With that announcement,the executives in charge of the campaignhave focused general attention on a personwho is a worthy successor, in the post of chairman,of other members of the Philadelphia Bar,George Wharton Pepper, Edward Hopkinson, Jr.,and Henry S. Drinker, Jr.Familiarly called Brewster Rhoads, he is thepersonification of what we like to think of as thePhiladelphia lawyer. Gracious of manner, thehallmarks of his efforts are gallantry and friendliness.Behind this is a vigorous determination thathas always caused him to acquit himself well.And, in these troublesome times when others arefrustrated and have accepted a philosophy ofdefeat, he proceeds with a refreshing enthusiasmand initiative.And so we turn to the record. Born on IndependenceDay, 1892, of a family long assodatedwith Philadelphia and its activities, BrewsterRhoads was graduated from the University ofPennsylvania in 1912, and, threeyears later,received his degree from Harvard Law School.Immediately thereafter, he began the practice oflaw in Philadelphia with his father, E. ClintonRhoads.With our entrance into the World War, heenlisted early in 1917 as a private in the FirstCity Troop and, after his course of training, leftfor France, commissioned as a Second Lieutenant.He served there with the 28th Division as anartillery officer and saw active duty in the Aisne-Marne, Meuse-Argonne and Lys-Scheldt offensives.After the war he was dicharged from thearray, being then a First Lieutenant.Returning to the practice of law, BrewsterRhoads became associated with his present firm,Montgomery & McCracken, which was then designatedRoberts, Montgomery & McKeehan, andhad Owen J. Roberts, now a Justice of theSupreme court of the United States as a partner.For the next seven years Brewster Rhoads alsowas professor of law in Temple University.The confidence reposed in him was well illustratedwhen in 1933 he was appointed StateReporter by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.That such confidence is well placed is evidencedby his strong feeling of duty to the Bar andpublic and the understanding and impartial mannerin which he undertook the thankless job ofprosecuting to a successful condusion, the Philadelphiadisbarment cases of 1935.Among his other public duties it is noted thathe has served three years on the Board of TownshipCommissioners of Abington Township, thathe is a Trustee of Abington Memorial Hospital

THE SCROLLOF PHI DELTA THETAAPRIL 1939

Tour chapter at its best ...L.FOR many an undergraduate his college fraternity is the beginning ||of social, as distinguished from domestic, tutelage. Here he must Itake his place of responsibility in a free, self-governing society !^which is but a microcosm of the larger social life ahead of him. IHere also begins for him that iron discipline which life itself J)imposes, a discipline which, if less superficially apparent than that Ijof the home, is nevertheless far more severe. Nothing that any of Ihis fraternity brothers can tell him will help him far on his way; it ~is only what they can show him that will count in the end. For bet- Iter or worse he must fit himself into a new environment. God help Jus all if it be for the worse! T|His fraternity brothers have, I take it, no commission to preach Isermons to him, or see to it that he says his prayers and attends . •"church regularly. Their only job is to assist him in creating the Iatmosphere in which he and they must exist. If theirs is a way of Igraciousness and spaciousness, his life may become gracious and 11spacious also.... If they can find a way to put his talent and energyto work on immediate and unselfish tasks, his zeal and skill will JJgrow more muscular for the more important tasks of unselfishness Ithat lie ahead.iHere, if anywhere, he should learn that certain intangibles othuman association are far more important than are most of thethings a man perceives by the aid of his natural senses. Here, ifanywhere, he must learn that among gentlemen the standards ofhonor are inflexible. Here he must find courtesy become secondnature, good sportsmanship taken for granted, self-restraint elevatedto the rank of a virtue. And here, above all, he should findrespect for whatever is honest and decent and true together withcontempt for whatever is slipshod and false and phony. And if toall these can be added that most utilitarian of all intangibles, thequality of intellectual honesty, he will go away from his chapterhouse an educated man, even though the faculty may refuse tohonor him with a degree.—from an address by MR. JAMES C. CRAIG,to the National Interfraternity Conference, November, 1^38.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta ThetaVirginia Delta Lives AgainBy W. ROLAND GALVIN, Richmond '39VIRGINIA spring was in the air. Asthe Phis gathered to restore old VirginiaDelta, they sensed the parallel betweenthe awakening of Nature and therevival of the old chapter, dormant morethan forty years, now coming forth to anew and beckoning life.When Virginia Delta gave up its charterin November 1895, Pollard Cardozaand John P. Lea, the two loyal Phis whosurrendered it, dared to hope that underhappier circumstances it might be returned.Their hope became a realitywhen on February 18, 1939, O A f2 became*A0 and the old charter was restoredto them by the hands of PresidentJohn B. Ballou, for the re-establishmentof the chapter in the University of Richmond.They in turn gave it into thekeeping of William H. Martin, the undergraduatepresident who had so faithfullyand so capably led * A Q.The re-installation of the chapter followedby more than five months thegranting of the charter by the Forty-thirdConvention at Old Point. The exerciseswere conducted in beautiful CannonMemorial Chapel on the University ofRichmond campus. Social functions wereheld at the nearby Country Club of Virginiaand at the Hotel Jefferson.Hours before registration began on themorning of February 17, a number ofprominent Phis had already arrived,among them President Ballou, Rear AdmiralWat T.

At the banquet inspiringaddresses were delivered by PresidentBallou, Admiral Cluverius, andCarter Helm Jones, whose buoyantyouthfulness of spirit belies the grey ofhis hair.

The courtfurther decreed that he "henceforth shall

The romance of theoccasion, when the past touched the presentin such unwonted realism, stirredmen's emotions deeply. The followingexcerpts from a letter by one of the visit-CARTER HELM JONES, Virginia Delta '82ing delegates reveal the feeling of a collegeboy, expressed without reserve, becausehe never dreamed that the letterwould be published:"I have just returned from Richmondtonight where I was a delegate to the installationof Virginia Delta. I feel thatnever before have I come so close tograsping the fundamentals of $ A 0. Theopinion seeras quite general that it willbe a long time before another chapter isinstalled, and it is probably the onlyinstallation I shall ever see. It was myprivilege to aid in the initiation ceremonies,and I had a feeling of pride thatI was having a part in making historyin 4 A 0. . . . The gathering was not solarge but that I got to know the leadersof the Fratemity and could see whatreally good and great men they are. Andthe sight of the men of old VirginiaDelta so radiantly happy gave me an undescribablesatisfaction that I had done alittle in restoring their chapter.

But most surprisingof all is the fact that both celebratedthe same Founders Day—March 15.The father of * A fJ was George F.Smith, Jr., now a member of the administrativestaff in the Baltimore school system.To eight of his friends, all of whomhad received invitations from various fratemities,he discussed the formation ofa brotherhood which would perpetuatetheir friendship. His proposal met withan enthusiastic response.In granting the charter on March 15,1916, the University's faculty committeeon fraternities commended the local organizationand stated that if the groupwished to petition an "outstanding nationalfraternity" at some future date.

Not only ministerial candidates,but young men of other academic pursuitswere numbered among the studentbody.The War-between-the-States interruptedthe institution's march of progressand the patriotic action of the board oftrustees in investing the school's endowmentin Confederate bonds almostbrought ruin.The picture was far from bright when,in 1895, Frederick W. Boatwright, 26-year-old professor of modem languages,was elected president. In the years justpreceding, most of the fratemities,among them * A ©, surrendered theircharters in the belief that the future ofthe college was uncertain.That the young president was the manfor the job was quickly demonstrated.Just four years after his election he hadbuilt and paid for a new science hall anda dormitory. The enrollment grew, theendowment grew, and the institutionnever again was to face the fear of extinction.It was not until 1914, however, whenthe college moved to its new campus atthe western extremity of Richmond thatit enjoyed its greatest growth.

Midwest Phis Meet at IndianapolisBy J. RUSSELL TOWNSEND, JR., Butler '31EVERY Conference is better than thelast" was the comment of ExecutiveSecretary Paul C. Beam in reviewingthe first North Mid-Central RegionalConference held in the Columbia Clubat Indianapolis, March 10 and 11, 1939-This was the third regional conference.The twenty-seven chapters called toattend the Conference were all present;the entire General Council was in attendance;the Alumni and ScholarshipCommissioners were active in the meetings;and the Executive Secretary wasa participant in all the gatherings. Trulyan unusual gathering for Indianapolisand all HoosierdomlThe Conference was called to order byits able director, James W. Pottenger,president of Zeta Province, Friday morning,and practically every chapter waspresent at the initial session. The fewlate comers had arrived before the morningmeeting closed. Stewart W. Hartfelter,D.D., Wabash '35, the chaplain,opened the meeting with a prayer, andafter initial announcements by BrotherPottenger, a welcome to Indianapolis wasextended by J. Russell Townsend, Jr.,Butler '31, president of the IndianapolisAlumni Club. A. B. Whitney, presidentof Sigma Province, then took charge ofthe session and a discussion of "Phi DeltaTheta, Its Purposes" followed. This waspresented by representatives of severalchapters, a procedure followed in allsubsequent meetings. A discussion of"Rushing" concluded the morning meeting.At the Friday noon luncheon a veryinstructive talk was given by Mr. CharlesW. Jones, a member of B ® IT, managerof a large Indianapolis department store,on "Getting and Holding a Job."The first afternoon discussion was directedby John B.

Some Accomplishments of the N.LG.By HENRY Q. MIDDENDORF, Williams 'a8, Secretary of the N.I.C.IN his report last November as EducationalAdviser of the Conference,Dean Turner of the University of Illinoissummarized the past decade asHENRY Q. MIDDENDORF, Williams '28follows: "If there has been one outstandingfeature of the National InterfraternityConference during the tenyears just past, it has been its willingnessto face facts. Ten years ago fraternitieswere at a peak; a few years latermeetings were rather frantic attemptsto discover reasons for self-sustenance.Then came the true spirit of the Conference,with fraternities on the offensive,deliberately going about the grimbusiness of self-examination, the eliminationof non-essentials, and emphasison the worth-while aspects of the AmericanFraternity System. With this camethe recognition of the fact that whilecolleges and universities, if they choseto do so, could get along without fraternities,fraternities could not get alongwithout the colleges or universities."[268]Within the last five years the work ofthe Conference has been directed mainlyto endeavoring to fold the fraternity intothe educational objectives of the universities,to make it the greatest singlefactor, in the broadening of the educationof the individual. This work hasbeen carried on in two stages: the broadgeneral field of objectives, and the narrowfield of practical applications.The first step toward an objective wasthe formulation in 1934 of the FraternityCriteria, a statement in that "thefraternity is considered responsible fora positive contribution to the primaryfunctions of the colleges and universities,and therefore under an obligation toencourage the most complete personaldevelopment of its members, intellectual,physical, and social." The secondstep was to attempt to define the reciprocalrelations between the college,the group, and the individual. In 1937a report was formulated by a joint committeecomposed of college administratorsand fraternity representatives, andadopted by the National InterfraternityConference, and in January 1938 by theAssociation ot American Colleges, andpublished as a statement of principlesand procedures. In order that somegroup might serve as an instrument tosupplement this spirit of co-operation,the third step consisted in the appointmentof a Panel of educators and fraternitymen whose purpose was "to makeavailable to colleges and fraternities anyinformation, plans, or ideas concerningfraternities and fraternity life." Thefunction of this Panel is not to cleanup the fraternity world, but rather toserve in any advisory capacity for whichit may be summonetl.In order that the undergraduatesmight understand more fully the generalproblems confronting fraternities, andmight assist in their solution, the meet-

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for April, 1939 269ings of the National Undergraduate InterfratemityCouncils have been heldsimultaneously with the Annual Conference.So keen and active has been theundergraduate participation that manyproblems have been turned over to themtor solution through the local councils.These latter have not only attacked theproblems but have also sought for newmethods for improving the fraternities'status. To further this incentive the Conferenceis now publishing a booklet on"Projects for Interfraternity Councils,"to be followed by a summary and analysisot college brochures, describingcollege lite and the fraternity's part init.Some years ago, in an effort to improvethe intellectual tone ot their chapters,several groups adopted the plan ofresident advisers, graduate preceptors, ortutors. A recent survey of colleges andfratemities revealed on the part ot theformer an increasing interest in the workingsot such a system; the latter, havingtried the plan, were adopting it on anincreasingly broader scale. To crystallizethe adviser situation, the last Conferenceoffered a Town Hall Meeting on thetopic: "Chapter Advisers, Experience andObjectives." The speeches and generaldiscussion provoked so much interestthat the entire meeting has been reprinted.The question now is no longerare such men wanted; the demand alreadyexceeds the supply, for only thoseuniversities with large graduate schoolscan furnish the chapters with desirablemen. The Educational Advisory Councilserves as the clearing house for chapteradvisers, and is making every effort toplace the right men where their talentswill prove most effective.One of the most individually tediousand from a fraternity standpoint ottenleast appreciated accomplishments of theConference has been the ScholarshipCharts. An analysis ot these charts, however,reveals two important tacts: one,that despite the over-emphasis ot collegeson extra-curricular activities and the resultantinterference with scholastic endeavor,the scholarship of fraternity menis higher than that of non-fraternitymen; and second, that good scholarshipis a matter ot good leadership. This firstis a problem which must be solved bythe colleges; the second has been acknowledgedby the desire for or appointmentot resident advisers. In the last reportof the Scholarship committee wasthe following statement: "It is no accidentthat the national fraternities whichhave the highest requirements tor rnembership,and make the most realistic attackon this problem of scholarship arethe ones to whom we owe the tact thatscholastically we may look the collegeworld in the face."Because ot the tendency on the partof the public press to publicize the occasionalunfortunate occurrences inwhich fraternities are involved—with neglectof their good works as being ot nonews value—the efforts of the Conferenceduring the past year have been directedin part toward Public Relations. Thepublic psychology, however, is so incalculablethat the problem so simple ofanalysis is so difficult of solution. Thepictures in Life magazine last fall serveas a perfect example of unfortunatebiased publicity. The Conference has alwaysmade, and will continue to make,every effort to prevent the disseminationof false information, while at the sametime it will try to put before the publicthe valuable work which is being accomplishedon so many campuses. It is,however, primarily the task ot everyindividual to prevent the casting ot aspersionupon his fraternity and the fraternityworld. It might be well if allmembers of all fraternities might readPresident John B. Ballou's statement in"Charters" in the December SCROLL:"Such a charter is a priceless heritage.Its value and the responsibility which itspossession entails are not to be regardedlightly."

WA'TSON, Randolph-Macon and Washington and Lee *02one of the most responsible positions inthe executive branch of the Government,in this instance, the White House Staff.He is Colonel Edwin M. Watson, thePresident's Military Aide, who has beenpromoted to the grade of Brigadier Generalof the Regular Army by PresidentRoosevelt. In announcing Brother Watson'spromotion the President at thesame time announced that he would, onApril 1, assume new duties as Secretaryto the President, more specifically theliaison officer between the President, theheads of departments, the Congress, andthe public generally. This is the officefrom which James Roosevelt, the President'sson, resigned because of ill healthsome months ago.There is no better known or more[270]familiar figure in Washington than GeneralWatson, the only officer in eitherArmy or Navy who has served as militaryaide to two Presidents, for he wasalso aide to Woodrow Wilson and wasMr. Wilson's Chief of the Military Sectionof the American Peace Coraraissionat Versailles in 1919. When Franklin D.Roosevelt became President in March1933, one of his first acts was to nameColonel Watson as his military aide andfrom that day to this no man has beencloser to the President than this brilliantPhi officer—always with the President, onhis travels, when he addresses the Congress,and at public functions in theWhite House and elsewhere.As for General Watson's military recordit is one of the finest in the Army.In the World War, the battalion of thefamous Twelfth Regular Field Artillerywas commanded by Colonel, then Major,Watson. This battalion fired thefirst American shell at the Germans, atBelleau Wood. For gallantry in this action,the first major one in which Americantroops participated. Colonel Watsonwas awarded the Distinguished ServiceCross of the United States and the Croixde Guerre ot France. Subsequently forgallant action and leadership in theAisne offensive, at Verdun, and theMeuse-Argonne, he was made a Chevalierof the Legion of Honor of France,a Commander of the Belgian Order ofthe Crown, and the Order ot the SouthemCross of Brazil, and these are just atew of the honors bestowed on him toroutstanding services in the Great War.It was in 1919, following the Armisticeand his return to the United States, thatBrother Watson was named by PresidentWilson to be his military aide, servingin that position until May 1920, whenhe was ordered to return to France forfield artillery instruction in the famous

New York's Great Founders DayBy EDWARD W. GOODE, Colgate '26MAKE it three in a row for NewYork! The 1939 Founders Daydinner at the Hotel Commodore onMarch 15 brought together even morePhis than its record-breaking predecessorsof 1937 and 1938. The talent of itsspeakers, the thrill of its extravaganza otentertainment, the electric enthusiasmwhich charged the great ballroomthroughout the program and the emotionaldepth ot the spirit of brotherhoodat least equalled the standards set in 1937and 1938. Even with allowance for the factthat the 1939 dinner was the largest inattendance and that it was fresh in mind,the number ot those who have pronouncedit "tops" permits the statementthat it was a new high for college fraternitybanquets in New York City. In 1937it was Bob Gantt, Ike Harris, and BillGoodheart; in 1938, Barrett Herrick,Henry Urion, and Goodheart; and in1939, Herrick, Goodheart, and DonKieffer, who have given # A 0 banquetswhich are the envy of the Greek-letterworld.The 1939 speaking program had animpact which obviously stirred the entiregathering of Phis. The toastmasterwas Samuel E. Darby, Syracuse footballstar, prominent football official, coach ot[273]the New York State Prison gridironsquad at Sing Sing and, when he is notpursuing this avocation, one of the leadingpatent attorneys in the United States.He has a brand of oral magic which, ashe has stated in another connection, inducesthe Sing Sing boys to go out forfootball rather than for cross-country.The purely * A 0 significance ot theevening was presented by tlie two menot our Brotherhood best qualified as tooffice, and ability too: John Ballou, Presidentof the General Council, who wasgiven a tremendous ovation by the NewYork crowd in their first wholesale opportunityto greet hira as a leader of theFratemity; and Dean Hoffman, AlumniCommissioner, who is always a greatfavorite in New York, and who wasWILLIAM MATHER LEWIS, Knox 'oo. President ofLafayette Collegegreeted by the same pandemonium.Brother Ballou's remarks dealt very effectivelywith the significance ot theBond, and Brother Hoffman pointed tothese great alunmi gatherings throughoutthe Continent as conclusive evidence that"once a Phi, always a Phi."The guest speaker, William MatherLewis, Knox '00, President of LafayetteCollege, unquestionably found the mindof that company with a talk which willnot be forgotten soon. It was brief andcleverly flavored with humor, and manyPhis are reading the world news with anew approach since they heard whatBrother Lewis had to say about the responsibilitywhich rests today on trainedminds in organizations ot high purpose,such as * A 0. A dozen of the boys drove

Forone thing, they bring together under thesame root the good neighbors from Washington,Philadelphia, Baltimore, Bridgeport,Boston, Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo,Utica, Seattle (yes, sir), Michigan (JamesE. Davidson, Hillsdale '87, came to NewYork expressly tor the dinner), andpoints in between.Although Founders Day is inconsiderateot undergraduates when it falls ona midweek evening, there were a nuraberof fresh faces devoid of worry lines.They hailed principally frora Lafayette(Lewis), Dickinson (Hoffman), Williams,Brown, and other chapters within "cutsaving"distance ot New York.Colgate alumni tor the third time in arow led in attendance, with fifty-fourmen present. This gives them the permanentpossession ot the trophy, the rightto sing their college song without toomuch interference from Syracuse, Cornell,Union, and others inclined to discourtesyin this matter. Williams pressedthem rather closely with thirty-nine, andColumbia, Brown, Union, Lafayette,Maryland, and Dickinson were out inparticular force. Syracuse and Cornell aregetting ted up on that Colgate song andare aiming at a substitution next year.The speaking was over exactly onschedule and Bill Goodheart took over—not that Bill had not taken over fromthe beginning. The smoothness withwhich reservations and all details of thedinner were managed and the precisionof the entire schedule, including the timeallotted tor squirting grapefruit, werelargely the result ot his organizing talents.Everyone now is familiar with thetact that Bill Goodheart, Executive Vice-President of the Music Corporation ofAmerica, is responsible tor the superlativeprograms of entertainment whichhave made the past three Founders Daydinners in New York what they havebeen. And on March 15 Bill presenteda dozen ot the best acts which were inNew York on that evening. There areno "command" performances in America,and such a line-up represented severalweeks ot real "headaches" for Goodheart,headaches which he seems happyISAAC F.

He immediatelyestablished warm channels of communicationwith his audience, and capturedit. Lew Lehr, Fox Movietone funnymanand Ben Bemie's sidekick on the Halfand-HaltColumbia network program,opened his act with the accent horseplaywhich he teatures on the Bemieprogram, and then reverted to the selfwho is executive ot Fox Movietone onthe serious side; and the boys acclaimedhim a champion story-teller.As tor dancing, Gower and Jeanne, ahandsome young couple came over fromthe Rainbow Room and put on a polishedperformance; the Hartmans, comedydance team, made a tremendous hit,and Beverly Bemis fascinated with flashinggood looks and a clever tap-dancingroutine.The Milt Herth Trio almost stoppedthe show. Milt calls himself "Omar theSwingmaker," does everything but cookwith the electric organ, and his twomates follow his pace at the piano andtraps. This trio has been a regular featureon WEAF every morning and isdefinitely recommended to start you offto work in a truly rhythmic frame otmind.Goodrich and Nelson presented a remarkablestrength and balancing performancewhich set the gridiron-mindedbrothers thinking of the disadvantagesot entrance requirements. The RoyalWhirlwinds did some amazing things onroller skates and Novelle Brothers pulledoff pleasing antics in the bird language.The Virginians, splendid male chorus,sang the numbers the boys like to hear,including the Phi Delta Theta AlumniMarch, and made such a hit that theywere recalled for a second appearance.The Phis had the opportunity of beingone of the first American audiencesto see Paul Remos and his Toyboys. Thisis truly a sensational act.

New Co-operation at DalhousieTHEY are congratulating Kevin J.Meagher ot Nova Scotia Alpha. Forhis dream of a closer bond of understandingbetween University authoritiesand fraternities is a step closer to reality.Last year Kevin had the idea that itfraternity men achieved a better scholasticstanding than non-fraternity men, itwould go a long way to smoothing overthe subtle, but nonetheless emphatic,"non-recognition" policy that DalhousieBy RAOLD D. BUCKLEY, Dalhousie '40AN IMPORTANT AWARDKevin Meagher (left) presents the ImprovementTrophy to Frank Dunsworth, Dalhousie '41University heads have toward fraternities.So, it all meant that Kevin decidedto go out after a trophy. Not one ot therun-o-mine trophies that are so commonin scholastic and collegiate circles, butone that would typify a new order ofthings—would mean, the coming together,if only in small measure at first,of University authorities with fraternitiesand their leaders. Kev worked on thescheme, spent a great deal of time planningit, discussed its possibilities withUniversity authorities, and then, finallyhe knew that the groundwork to makesuch a proposal possible was laid. Hewas fortunate in receiving the co-operationof John E. Reid, B.C.L., K.C ofthe Department of External Affairs, Ottawa—andfather of Brother James Read.Mr. Read approved the project wholeheartily,and asked the privilege otdonating the trophy.Basically, the trophy goes to the Phiof this chapter who attains the greatestscholastic improvement in his springfinal term marks over his Christmas halftermmarks. Members of the Committeeon Studies at the University officiate asjudges and it is from their computationof mark aggregates that the trophy isawarded.This spring, the trophy was presentedfor the first time. It was awarded toFrank Dunsworth, a freshman initiateof last year. Kev did the presentationhonours and it was a proud day tor him.For in that presentation he saw the initialstep in bringing the University toa better footing with fraternities. So, yousee, another trophy on the mantel piecemeans more than just a trophy—it tellsthe story of a Phi who set out to dosomething for his own and other fraternities.That he succeeded in doing itis a matter of pride and satisfaction tothe Phis in Nova Scotia Alpha.Distribution of the Journal of Convention ProceedingsBY direction of the Convention and the General Council, the official Journal of the OldPoint Comfort Convention is limited to an edition of two thousand.

Fifty Years at BrownTHE fiftieth anniversary of the foundingof Rhode Island Alpha at BrownUniversity was fittingly marked by a twodaycelebration on March 25 and 26 inAT THE BROWN SEMI-CENTENNIALLeft to right: Gordon K.

FRASER, Brown '40Providence, Rhode Island. The programplanned by a committee of local alumniand undergraduates, opened with a dinnerat the Agawam Hunt Club, whichwas followed by a dance at the chapterhouse later in the evening. On the followingday the committee arranged forthe use ot the University's Outing Resservation,and staged an informal middayparty, thus providing a change fromthe more formal events.The dinner which was attended byconsiderably more than a hundred members,was noteworthy for numerous reasons.Three of the charter members werepresent to receive their Golden Legioncertificates: William T. Green, HamiltonE. Chapman, and Arthur Gushing.Seated at the head table were Col. G.Edward Buxton, Toastmaster, PresidentJohn B. Ballou ot the National GeneralCouncil, Dean Hoffman, Alurtini Commissioner,Dr. Gordon K. Chalmers,Brown '25, president of Kenyon College,Dr. Henry M. \Vriston, President ofBrown University, and W. Allen Traver,Jr., President of the active chapter.Rhode Island Alpha of $ A 0 first appearedon the Brown scene on the eveningot February 22, 1889, when fifteenmen were initiated and the chapter wasofficially installed. The first Phis atBrown were originally a group who hadbanded themselves together in order "tofrustrate the selfish plans ot several ofthe fraternities who were trying to obtainall, or as many as possible, of thesenior class offices tor themselves."Under the leadership of Frank A.Smith '89, this little group sought toperpetuate their organization by transformingit into the Sigma Rho Society.At this point, one of their number, C.G. Hartsock, '89, felt that he could notremain a member ot this new secret society,as he was already a member ot theIndiana Delta Chapter of $ A 0. He was,therefore, made an honorary member,and it was not long after that formalapplication was made for admission to* A 0 on November 17, 1888.In the fifty years that have followed,Rhode Island Alpha has well justified itsexistence. It has played a very definitepart in the development of men of highcalibre, has fostered the aims ot the Universityin many ways, and has alwaysmaintained a close bond with the NationalFraternity.i \Pr.[277]THE OUTING PARTY

Theactive chapter had been preparing forover a month for the event, and weredelighted at the whole-hearted responsefrom all quarters to their invitations byletter and by personal communication.In order to facilitate such communicationbetween alumni and chapter groups,the Fraternity has published, tor the firsttime in its history, a complete and accurateDirectory of all Michigan Phis,and it is felt that much of the success ofthe Jubilee can be traced to the stimulationof interest aroused by this bookletwhich contains, in compact form, allrelevant information concerning activeand alumni members.Although the main feature ot the Jubilee,the Banquet Saturday evening in theMichigan Union, was not scheduled untilseven o'clock, alumni from Detroit,Lansing, and Grand Rapids began arrivingas early as three o'clock in theafternoon, and after being shown to theirrooms spent the intervening hours inlooking over the house and grounds,greeting old acquaintances, and recallingthe happy memories ot their ownundergraduate days at Michigan. Fullyfifty alumni had congregated at thehouse by dinner time, and they made thetrip across campus to the Union enmasse, taking over practically the wholethird floor after their arrival.Identification tags tor coat lapels wereobligingly made out by Jack Bensley,'40, the chapter's Jack-of-all-trades, andBy JAMES E. TOBIN, Michigan '41as soon as everyone knew everyone else,the group settled down to the seriousbusiness of absorbing a tenderloin steakdinner.Dinner over, Toastmaster Tom Adams,Jr., president ot Michigan Alpha calledthe meeting to order. The group wasled in Fratemity and college songs byBill Geisert who in turn ceded his placeas leader during the singing ot Michigan'sfamous "Varsity" to Brother EarlV. Moore, head ot the Music School atMichigan and composer of the wellknownWolverine football war-cry. Representingthe newly initiated pledgeclass, John Shields, spoke on "The Freshman'sAttitude Toward Phi DeltaTheta." Phil Garvey, Michigan State '37,expressed regret that the early beginningot spring vacation had made it impossiblefor the chapter from Michigan Stateto attend as a body, as they had countedupon doing. The State chapter playedhost to the Michigan group last springand will do so again next year, as the[279]annual celebration of Founders Dayalternates between Lansing and AnnArbor. The Michigan chapter consideredthemselves fortunate in that the Jubilee,which was held in conjunction with thecelebration ot Founders Day, shouldcome on the year when it was their turnto entertain, and regretted that is wasimpossible for more ot the State chapterto attend.President Adams introduced in quicksuccession the alumni speakers ot theevening, all ot whom contributed shortspeeches. First on the list was James E.Davidson, Hillsdale '87. He is a nationallyfamous Phi and is the presentchairman ot the Palmer Fund campaign.He was followed by Harry G.

Whitworth,Michigan '94, representing theGrand Rapids alumni, who contributedsome of the most illuminating and amusingcomments of the evening. W. S. Foster,Michigan '00, then expressed a wordof greeting from the Lansing alumni inhis official capacity as their spokesman,and he was followed on the program byHarold O. Love, Butler '30, presidentof the Detroit alumni, who introducedthe speaker of the evening.Raymond E. Blackwell, Franklin '24,came from Cleveland and his post atWestern Reserve University to addressthe celebrants ot the Jubilee in his officialcapacity as National ScholarshipCommissioner of $ A 0. Refusing to devotemore than a minor part of his addressto the subject ot scholarship, Mr.Blackwell devoted himself in the mainto a sincere, moving tribute to the Bondand an analysis of the obligations incumbentupon every member of $ A 0 byhis acceptance ot it. He closed his addresswith an outline of the best methodsof service by alumni in aiding undergraduatescholarship programs.The final and perhaps the most inspiringevent on the program was the presentationof Golden Legion certificates.signifying fifty years ot membership in4> A 0, to three honored men. They wereHenry A. Sanders, Michigan '90, EugeneConger, Hillsdale '87, and Paul L. Woodworth,Michigan State '90. BrotherWoodworth has two sons in the presentundergraduate chapter, Jim Woodworth,a Phikeia, and Phil Woodworth, a seniorwho has been senior football managertor the past year and is a member ofMichigamua. Several other Phis eligibletor the Golden Legion award were notable to attend the banquet, but the chapterwill make every effort to see that theyreceive their certificates. The brothersare looking forward to the time, not fardistant, when Asher G. Work, Miami '94,ever faithful chapter adviser, will becomeeligible for his Golden Legionaward.The appreciation and knowledge ofwhat * A © can mean to the alumni aswell as to the undergraduates was thoroughlybrought home to every memberof the chapter, and the brothers wish toexpress their heartfelt appreciation tothe older members for their splendid cooperationin making Michigan Alpha'sDiamond Jubilee the tribute that it wasto the name, the honor, and the traditionof * A 0.A Purdue Phi Builds AutogirosBy ROY FRENTZ, JR., Northwestern '36IN 1929, shortly before a worldwideeconomic depression struck, rightsto construct autogiros—new-fangled flyingmachines which had first flown onlysix years earlier in Europe—were acquiredby an American.Also in 1929 young Richard HickmanPrewitt, president ot Indiana Theta of* A © and president ot the Purdue seniorclass, received his B.S. degree in mechanicalengineering. Two years later the babyautogiro industry and Dick Prewitt hadgotten together; Dick had a job with theKellet Autogiro Corporation, licensedmanufacturer of rotating wing aircraft.Dick had studied autogiros. He knewthat the history ot rotating wing aircraftdated back to 1784, when twoFrenchmen constructed a model helicopterwhich actually flew. He had readof the years of effort expended on helicoptersto no use. Commercial successwith helicopters was in 1931, and is today,a dream for the future.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for April, 1939 381THE AUTOGIRO AT REST AND IN FLIGHTOn the other hand, Dick eagerlyscanned page after page ot reports on thework ot the Spaniard, Juan de la Cierva,who in 1920 had constructed the firstautogiro (which did not fly). Cierva departedfrom standard helicopter theory,and evolved a scheme of his own wherebyhe disconnected the helicopter propellerfrom the motor, making the propellerinto a "tree-wheeling," whirling rotorwhich revolved at speeds independentfrom the engine. Continued work on thisidea had brought success to Cierva in1923-Dick knew that Cierva had made along tour of Europe with his machine,and that in 1928 the Spaniard pilotedhis machine across the English Channel.Shortly after Cierva's successful Channelflight, financial backing tor the autogirocame from Britain, and Cierva had fundsto continue his experiments.Clumsy autogiros of that period lackedmany ot the refinements which were tocome. Greatest inconvenience came atthe take-off, when pilots were forced totaxi around and around the airport,building up sufficient rotor speed in thewhirling blades to get the machine intothe air. Tiny wings jutted on each sideof the 1929 autogiro, providing lateralcontrol while it was in the air. Still, theplane could take off with a very shortrun after its rotor had built up speed;it could fly at much slower speeds thanits fixed-wing airplane relative, and wastherefore safer; it could land in a smallspace.Dick had an idea of his own in 1932.He dreamed ot autogiros which couldtake off right into the air, with no rollat all before the jump. Autogiros couldalready land with practically no roll.Dick figured that if he could get hisblades going fast enough at "zero lift,"then suddenly jerk the blades from theangle of attack of no lift to a properlifting angle of attack, the aircraft wouldjump high off the ground. Theoreticallythis was possible, but years were to passbefore the idea became a reality.It was not until 1938 that the firstsuccessful autogiro, using the jump takeoffidea which Prewitt had conceived in1932, was built. This machine, Britishmade, would jump off to a height ot 20

282 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for April, 1939feet or so, as a helicopter, dependingupon wing conditions. Further, it wouldkeep on going up as an autogiro.It is now possible to build a machinewhich will jump into the air with noRICHARD HICKMAN PREWITT, Purdue *2groll, fly in still air at speeds ot from 20to 125 miles an hour, land verticallyfrom great heights. The machine won'tstall, and can't tail-spin. It has a mechanical"parachute," the rotor, permitting itto settle in a vertical path. It is thesafest heavier-than-air machine possibletoday. Autogiros have indeed developedrapidly in the sixteen years since onefirst flew.American autogiro experts are workingon "roadability" tor rotating wingaircraft, which will almost elimifiate theneed for airports. Roadability will permitthe autogiro owner to drive his machineover highways much as he woulddrive an automobile. It will eliminatethat great hindrance to private flyinggettingto and from the airport.Kellett Autogiro Corporation, otwhich Dick Prewitt is now vice-presidentin charge of engineering, delivered sevenrotating wing aircraft to the UnitedStates Army in 1938. These aircraft wereused in training officers in autogiroflight, and mechanics in operation andmaintenance. Powered by a 225-horsepowerJacobs L-4 motor, the Army machinescan climb at a rate of one thousandfeet a minute. They have a topspeed in still air ot nearly 130 miles anhour. The Army craft can land with noroll, but Dick Prewitt's jump take-offplan was not ready at the time the machineswere built, so that they need 25to 250 feet ot runway, depending uponwind velocity.Further military development ofautogiros is expected, following PresidentRoosevelt's request to Congress for$1,125,000, to be used for rotating wingaircraft research. The appropriation wasauthorized by the Dorsey-Logan actpassed by both House and Senate lastyear, is now in Congress tor final action.Military uses of the autogiro wouldinclude that of observation, succeedingthe old observation balloon tor spottingand observing artillery fire; behind-thelinesliaison movements; communications.Experimental use has been made otrotating wing aircraft in shuttling governmentair mail from air port to postoffice. First flight of this type was madein 1935, when mail was delivered to,and taken from, the roof of the newPhiladelphia post office. Similar successfulair mail deliveries have been completedbetween the Chicago Municipalairport and the Chicago post office, betweena suburban post office atBethesda, Md., and Washington, D.C.Regular autogiro air mail shutde servicebetween the Philadelphia post officeroot and the Camden airport will bestarted in June.With eight years of work on autogirosto his credit (exactly halt the numberot years since autogiros first flew),Dick Prewitt continues in the forefrontot his field. In recent months he hasbeen asked to give speeches beforeaeronautical groups, and has contributedpapers to important technical publications.

Phis in Championship GameTHESE WON CHAMPIONSHIP LAURELSWintermute and Gale of Oregon and Hull of Ohio StateTHE National Collegiate BasketballChampionship was decided on March28, as the SCROLL was going to press. WhenOhio State and the University of Oregonmet in that great game, the teams wereled by three Phis, who, through theirperformances during the current seasonand in past seasons, had establishedthemselves as three ot the nation's brightestcaging stars. They were Slim Wintermuteand Laddie Gale, both Oregon'S9, and Jimmy Hull, Ohio '39, a triowhich might easily comprise three-fifthsof the 1939 All-America basketball teamin the opinion of many experts. WithGale leading the offense and elongatedWintermute the defense, Oregon won thetitle handily, but even in winning tailedto dim the individual brilliance of Hull,who scored five titnes from the field andtwice from the foul line.Of strictly national championship caliber,the game provided a fit setting torthe three Phi stars to close their careers.In the last three seasons Wintermute andGale have been outstanding in PacificCoast basketball. The former, at center,standing six feet eight inches in his stockingfeet, has used his height to advantageon both offense and defense. Teamingwith him from a forward position hasbeen Gale, only tour inches shorter, andtogether the pair has formed an almostinvincible combination. Both Wintermuteand Gale have received wide selectionto honorary all-star teams, includingAll-Conference, All-Coast, All-America.Jimmy Hull was easily the greatest starof Big Ten basketball during 1938-39.He ran away with individual scoring honors,and was a unanimous selection atforward on the All-Conference team.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for April, 1939WILLIAM MATHER LEWIS, Knox '00, president ofLafayette College, is the author of a pamphletentitled "Peace and Culture," published underthe auspices of the American Society of theFrench Legion of Honor. He urges more directco-operation of the nations in education, whilepraising the programs of the agencies which havearranged for the exchange of professors andstudents in the several countries, and the visionof Cecil Rhodes in establishing the scholarshipsat Oxford which bear his name. He commendsthe wisdom of Secretary Hull in establishing inthe Department of State the Division of CulturalRelations, and he makes this pertinent suggestionabout it: "It may not be presumptuous tosuggest that the work of this bureau might bemade of tremendous value in the promotion ofunderstanding if the State Department wouldsee fit to add educational attaches to UnitedStates Embassy staffs throughout the world.Every ambassador and minister has on his stafftoday military and naval and commercial attacheswhose business it is to keep in touch withthe latest developments in their fields in thecountries where they are located. Certainly, it isequally important for each nation to keep intouch with what is going on in the developmentof intellectual leadership and effective citizenshipelsewhere. If the United States were to takethis advanced step in the direction of internationalunderstanding, there is little doubt butthat we would soon find educational attachesin the various foreign embassies in Washington.That the educational institutions throughoutthis nation would be eager to have the benefitof the cultural offerings of these men is obvious;and that they would give hundreds of thousandsof American undergraduates a broader and moretolerant point of view relative to their fellowsoverseas is likewise evident."REALLY, the situation was getting desperate untilBrother JOHNNY BURROUGHS and Mrs. Burroughsbrought little Johnny, Jr., into the world shortlybefore Christmas.There was Brother JIMMY PHILLIPS, and thePhillips family named their firstborn Mary Ann.Brother PAUL M.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for April, 1939299than old Eddie George, who was our President backin the giddy twenties—or was it the doleful earlythirties?It seems that Eddie, who is offidally listed as EdwinB. George, Pitt '17, used this here now Federal governmentas a springboard to big New York stuff. LeavingWashington during those uncertain da^ thatpreceded these uncertain days, he joined up with Dun& Bradstreet (you've heard of them?) as one of theirexecutive officers on economic problems. Naturallyhe has been in great demand as a speaker beforebusiness and academic groups. So, as Ed said toEddie, "Whyncha come around some time and letthe Phi Delt boys in on some of this gossip?"So it was that on March i the monthly Itmcheonmeeting turned out twenty-five or so himgry andcurious and fraternally minded Phis to enjoy a reunionwith Eddie and to get his idea of some thingsthat are in the offing.Ed McMillan introduced him, Rollin Bortle presided,and Claude Marriott gave a preview of theFounders Day dinner. The rest of us enjoyed ourselvesno end, and we hope Eddie will repeat early andoften.PHOENIX—by GEORGE ERHARDTTHE Phoenix Alumni Club observed Foimders Daywith a dinner at the Arizona Club. The highlight ofthe evening was an address by Brother Gene Cunningham,Illinois '09, "What Alumni Program BestServes Phi Delta Theta." Brother M. O. Best, recendyappointed regent of the University of Arizona, andBrother Mel Goodson, speaker of the Arizona Houseof Representatives, spoke briefly. The evening's entertainmentconsisted of a combined ventriloquismand magic act by Mark Barker. The prying into theprivate lives of the brothers by Barker's dummy provedto be most illuminating, while the tricks of magiccaused us to wonder if a college education is of use,after all. Officers newly dected for the year are: A. H.Meade, president; Ted Riggins, vice-president; andGeorge Erhardt, secretary.PHILADELPHIA GOLDEN LEGIONNAIRESPITTSBURGH—fey DEAN M. HOFFMANTHINK of a Phi Ddt alumni club which has keptindividual attendance records for the last twenty-fiveyears, has held isgi luncheons in that period withone member who has attended all but twenty-five ofthem. Who is the brother and what is his club?Dr. J. Clyde Markel, Gettysburg '00, of Pittsburgh,of course.The SCROLL has carried references to the unusualattendance reports of Dr. Markd and other PittsburghPhis. He is the dub's scrupulous monitor, aswdl as its champion attendant. That is true not onlyof his own dub's sessions but the moment he feelshimsdf getting short on 4A0 vitamins, he hies offto other dubs for more. This year he attended theFounders Day dinner not only of his own dub, butthose of Philadelphia and New York as well.It is that perennial enthusiasm for ^^ A 6 whichhelps explain why he has attended 1166 luncheonsof the Pittsburgh dub in the last quarter-century.How many more he and others attended more thantwenty-five years ago is sealed in the waters whichstruck his tenth-floor office during the 1936 Pittsburghflood. A water pipe burst above his office anddestroyed his earlier records for dub attendance. Dr.Markel is in his thirty-second year of attending PhiDelt luncheons in Pittsburgh,Runner-up in the attendance race is Bob Lindsay,W. and J. '02, who attended 903 of the 1291 limcheons.For 1938, the record attendance was held byM. H. Floto, Gettysburg '03. who was present at 51of the 52 luncheons. Lindsay and Markel tied at 50each. That year there was a total attendance of 968,represented by 86 brothers with an average weeklyattendance of 18. The largest Itmcheon was heldJanuary 7 with 41 present; the smaUest, November 11,with 6.The acciunulated totals for the 25 years duringwhich Brother Markd has been keeping the records isimpressive. In that time the attendance reached23,626. Within the period, the year 1930 shows thelargest attendance with 1356. made up of 132 differentmembers. In 1926, there were 149 different Phis whocontributed to the year's total of 1119.PORTLAND—by CHARLES R. STIDDPORTLAND Alumni Club heild its most successful alltime Foimders Day banquet. We were ddighted withthe program, which consisted of a chapter song contestbetween Oregon Alpha and Oregon Beta (wehope to enlarge and indude all the northwest chaptersnext year), and a fine talk by Brother Pat Maitlandof British Columbia Alpha who was brought tous by Brother George Housser, Province President.Brother Housser made a very excellent introductorytalk, and Brother Maitland gave us one of the mostinspiring addresses on the subject of internationalfriendship ever heard in this community.The diapter song contest was excellent and itseffect was to bring to the banquet some sixty-fiveactive chapter men, a fact which bad a tendency toraise the standard of the whole affair.

Our distinguishedguest speaker was Admiral Wat T. Cluverius, Tulane'95, of our General Coundl. He gave us a fascinatingpicture of service in the Fleet, including the storyof the Maine disaster, of which he is the oldestsurvivor. He drew a striking and memorable parallelbetween the responsibilities of the Fleet and the Fratemity,and challenged our men to back with loyaltyand courage our country, so different from any otherin the manner of its founding and in what it standsfor before all the world. He was as inspiring as wehad always heard he was; we saw and heard a greatleader, a fine gentleman, and a wonderfiU Phi.Officers of the St. Louis club tor the coming yearwere dected as follows: President, Carl Hansman,Northwestern '18; Vice-President, Harold Knight.Vanderbilt '24; Secretary, Lawrence McDougall.

DOTENEnrroR's NOTE.—^The following is excerpted from apersonal letter to the Editor, not intended for publication.It is a good illustration of what FoundersDay may be in a community where there are fewPhis, and it shows, too, how helpful the * A 0 ladies canbe in arousing alumni interest. The Fraternity salutesMary Doten and all those other loyal women in everycommunity who share our devotion to * A 0. Mrs.Doten is a member of the Vermont chapter of K A 0.LAST night [March i6] for the first time in this partof the world the *A0's got together to toast theFoundersI There were seven present, with six wives.More would have come but that the notice was tooshort. Now let me tell my storylSaturday afternoon, we stopped to see Walter Shid,Purdue 'o8. In the course of conversation I said thatif I were in Boston this week I would be seeingsome very nice Phis and enjoying the activities ofthe Founders Day party. Mr. Shiel made the commentthat this would be the first year that he would missa Founders Day dinner. We said in one voice, "let'shave one".—and we did. With the aid of the cataloguewe found that there were fourteen good Phis in ornear this little dty so John Wheeler got busy onMonday morning and did some phoning and writing.I put in the wife business; I thought it would dressup the Phis and give us a good time too. And apparentlythe wives liked their husbands for they seemedvery glad to come. [Those present were Douglas C.Haynes, Kentucky "iS, Waldo E. Sexton, Purdue 'ii;Carroll W. Doten, Vermont '95; Dale Talbert, IowaState '26; John W. E. Wheder, Purdue '11; W. BlakeShaffer; Walter R. Shiel, Purdue "ii; and MesdamesSexton, Doten, Talbert, Wheder, Shaffer, and Shiel.]At the dinner, I learned that two men had neverattended a Fratemity function since graduating fromcollege, and that two more men had never attendeda Founders Day dinner, in fact did not know whatit was all about. I even told one man about the waythe conventions were runl Well, they decided that theywoidd like to repeat this dinner, next time allowingmore time for the notices. To that end they electedWaldo E. Sexton. President, and John W. E. Wheder,Secretary-Treasurer.WASHINGTON—by CARL A. SCHETOONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN Phis, including about thirtyactive members of Maryland Alpha, attended ourFounders Day dinner at the Carlton Hotd March 18.Although this was a smaller attendance than lastyear, which was disappointing, nevertheless a fire inthe hotd several days before our dinner and the presenceof picket lines which were much in evidence atall Washington hotels were adverse factors.William Mather Lewis, Knox '00, President ofLaFayette College, performed ably as toastmaster.Robert Lee Ghormley, Idaho '03, recently promotedRear Admiral, gave an interesting talk on the Navy'spart in training young men. From Congress SenatorElbert D. Thomas of Utah was present and CongressmanRobert Bruce Chiperfield, Knox '18. We werepleased to have two members of the General Coundlpresent. Brother Ballou, President, and Dean Hoffman,Alumni Commissioner.Much credit for the success of the dinner is due tothe efforts of Brothers Edward Stafford, GeneralChairman, Luther Ellis, George Ward, and H. C.Kilpatrick. Brother Milo C. Summers, who has guidedthe Washington Alumni Club for years, placed innomination the following officers for the coming yearwho were elected: Carl A.

J. WILLUMSIN granting the first (to the writer's knowledge) Statealumni charter in the history of *A0 to the WestVirginia State Alumni Association, the General Councilpaid high tribute to Frank J. R. Mitchell, a PastPresident of the Fratemity and at the time of hisdeath Editor of the SCROLL and Alumni Commissioner.The plan of the association was conceived and putinto effect by Brother Mitchell one year before hisdeath and the last letters from his sick bed weremessages of encouragement to the association.The organization is headed by John J. Lincoln,Lehigh '8g, one of the leading coal operators of thestate, who was one of the founders of the Lehighchapter over fiifty years ago and has been honoredwith a Golden Legion certificate. Brother Lincolnand Walter E. E. Koepler. Westminster '06, the firstdelegates of the association to a National Convention,Old Point Comfort, successfully presented the petitionfor a charter and it was through the efforts ofthese prominent Phis that the charter was gpranted.Brother Lincoln is president, and Brother Koeplersecretary of the Pocahontas Coal Operators Association.The plan of the association as outlined to thewriter by Brother Mitchell should be of interest toPhis as this may be one of the most efficient methodsof maintaining organized alumni support. First, eachstate shotdd have a director or state alumni commissionerwhose duties are to maintain an alumni organizationmade up of all Phis residing in the state.He is contact man between the state and the Fraternityand his services are gratis. He makes up the stateroster, keeps interest up by sending frequent noticesto all Phis in the state, arranges state meetings, etc.The assodation meets once each year to commemorateFounders Day, preferably on a Saturday as nearMarch 15 as practical. In our case the annual meetingis held on the first Saturday in May because of floodsand unreliable weather during March and April.The state meeting consists of a short afternoonbusiness' meeting with election of state officers, aFounders Day banquet for Phis, their wives andsweethearts, and the program is concluded with a* A 0 ball for Phis, their friends, and prospectivemembers. Each Phi residing in the state is considereda member of the association and the state roster,notices, etc. are financed by one dollar voluntaryyearly dues. State officers are President, Vice-President,Treasurer, Secretary and a Board of Directors.All Phis are invited to attend the fourth annualFounders Day celebration of the West Virginia StateAlumni Association at Charleston, W.Va., May 6.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta ThetaVol. 63No. 5Our Army OfficersBy LELAND C. SPEERS, Washington and Lee '99IN the United States Army, as in theNavy, * A 0 is proud to claim a gallantgroup o£ officers of every grade, frombudding lieutenants to generals, officerswho came to the service from West Point,from universities and colleges in all partsof the country, and in some instancesfrom the ranks.Phi Delta Theta is in every arm of theservice—infantry, artillery, cavalry, engineers,medical, aviation, gas, and serviceof supply. From Chilkoot Pass in Alaskato Hawaii, the Philippines, the PanamaCanal, the lonely Phi will be sure to finda brother in the uniform of his country.Also, Phis are on the General Staff, at thegreat service schools, in the states instructingthe National Guard, or commandingthe reserve organizations in great universities;in fact, wherever the Army of theUnited States functions, there you willfind * A 0.Now for the question, who are thesePhi officers who stand ready in these daysof international unrest to lead the defenseof their country? Among them onefinds the Judge Advocate General of theArmy, the man whose job spells discipline;the Commanding Officer of a crackcoast artillery regiment ready for actionin Hawaii; veteran airmen, field artillerymen,commanders of the Reserve OfficersTraining Corps in Yale, Pennsylvania,Louisiana State, Washington State, andColorado, expert National Guard instruc-[339]tors in a dozen states or more, membersof the General Staff.To name all the Phis who grace therolls of the United States Army wouldbe impossible in an article limited as isthis one. For that reason, only those officersof and above the grade of major areincluded. At some future date the captainsand lieutenants will have their inning,just as will the lieutenants and ensignsof the Navy, who for the samereason had to be omitted from a recentarticle on Phis in the Navy.Brigadier General EDWIN MARTIN WATSONMilitary Aide to President Roosevelt

Fellows at Harvard on May 6,twelve young journalists were chosen outof 209 applicants, and * A 0 rejoices thatof these twelve two are Phis: EdwardAvery Wyatt, Randolph-Macon '31, andAndrew Carroll Kilpatrick, Jr., Alabama'35. It is an honor rivaling that of theRhodes Scholarships, with the added distinctionthat it emphasizes achievementin the field of a man's chosen profession.The Nieman Fellowships were establishedin 1937 by Harvard, through a giftof more than a million dollars bequeathedto the university by Mrs. AgnesWahl Nieman in memory of her husband,Lucius W. Nieman, founder of theMilwaukee Journal, "to promote andelevate the standards of journalism in theUnited States and educate personsdeemed specially qualified for journalism."The terms of the bequest did notspecify the exact manner in which thefunds were to be expended and the creationof the Fellowships was decided uponas the best means to accomplish the desiredobjective. Appointments are forone year.The stipend approximates the recipient'ssalary and tuition charges at Harvard.Formal course instruction is notstressed, but is made contributory to aprogram in which lectures, seminars, privatereading, informal discussions withstudents and teachers, and dinner conferenceswith eminent newspaper menand faculty members are all combined.To Brothers Wyatt and Kilpatrick* A 0 extends hearty congratulations onthis recognition of their success.EDWARD AVERY WYATT, Randolph-Macon '31EDWARD A. WYATTBrother Wyatt was born in Petersburg,Va., March 10, 1910, and received his B.A.degree from Randolph-Macon College in1931. At Randolph-Macon he edited thestudent newspaper and was instructor inEnglish and Thomas Nelson Page

He was a member of$ A 0, serving a term as chapter president.In his senior year he was elected to* B K and two years ago was chosen forOAK.During his sophomore year he beganreviewing books for the Richmond NewsLeader, which resulted in summer jobs asa reporter on that newspaper. In August1931, he returned to Petersburg as associateeditor of Progress-Index. For atime he was engaged in research in militaryhistory in connection with the developmentof the Petersburg NationalMilitary Park, and he has written severalmonographs on Virginia social and economichistory. He is a member of thePetersburg Rotary Club and the VirginiaPolicy Committee.An editorial in the Richmond News-Leader, commenting on his appointmentcontains the following tribute:"Mr. Wyatt won that fine honor byhard, patient, and intelligent work. Whilehe still was a student at Randolph-Macon,he came often to the News Leader, wentcarefully over the new books, selectedsome of them, and reviewed them withmuch maturity of judgment. Later on hewas on the city staff of this paper and putinto every day's work his best. He wasfrom the outset the type of young newspapermanabout whose future his seniorsnever needed to trouble themselves. Hisambition went beyond his pay check. Hiseditorial work has been splendid by everytest and has been illumined by his intelligentstudy of the background of his constituency.At twenty-nine he is an authorityon Southside Virginia. We rejoice withhim and because of him."CARROLL KILPATRICKThe award to Carroll Kilpatrick is especiallycomplimentary to him, since itis the desire of the Nieman fellowshipcommittee to favor men long establishedas newspaper writers. This graduate ofAlabama Alpha is only twenty-five, theyoungest of the twelve who received thiscoveted award. He won it strictly uponhis professional attainments as a newspaperwriter and student of affairs. Hisage was against him when he applied.Kilpatrick was editor of the collegeweekly, the Crimson White, while at theANDREW CARROLL KILPATRICK, JR., Alabama '35University of Alabama. He started hisnewspaper career as a cub editorialwriter on the Birmingham News and wassoon transferred to the editorial staff ofthe Birmingham Age-Herald. In September1937, he became assodate editor of theMontgomery Advertiser, under Grover C.Hall, Pulitzer prize winner, and editor ofAlabama's best-known daily newspaper."On the Advertiser, Mr. Kilpatrick'went to town' as an editorial writer,"quoting Judge Hall. "He quickly provedhis mettle as a commentator on economic,social and international questions—subjects in which he will specialize atHarvard for nine months after which hewill return to the Advertiser.""Carroll Kilpatrick is admirably qualifiedto achieve the greatest advantagesfrom such an award—Nieman fellowship—and to reflect the highest credit on thefoundation and its usefulness," says aneditorial in the Birmingham Age-Heraldon Carroll's appointment.—CREYTONPARKS, Georgia Tech '37.

The first six Phis ranged in agefrom twenty-three to twenty-seven—oldmen for college students.

Itwas the period of the ominous fears inspiredThe thirteenth to be initiated after theby Freemasonry; anti-fraternityfirst six was Benjamin Harrison, destinedto become a general in the War betweenthe States and twenty-third occupant ofthe White House. Those were earnestdays. Harrison, as president of the Miamichapter, had the unpleasant task of tryingtwo brothers, Childs and McNutt, forviolating the Bond. McNutt was Harrison'sroom-mate, and on bended knees,calling on God as his witness, he promisedto reform (he was a good fellow but rumdone it). The two had celebrated thelaws were common and the opposition tosecret societies persisted through the nineteenthcentury. Entrance into KenyonCollege was refused # A 0 in 1849 becauseit was a secret fraternity; in 1876the same opposition killed the chapter atthe University of California; there werelaws against secret societies in the Universityof Alabama and Monmouth, andthe same sentiment forced the chapter atKnox, like many others, to carry on subrosa.opening of the railroad, and continued In the twentieth century, the three ancientleaders in collegiate education haveto signalize, with the help of Bacchus,the meetings of the Young Men's TemperanceSociety, and Harrison had themexpelled all Greek-letter fraternitiesexpelled.Phi Delta Theta had been established"to organize an association for mutualimprovement in friendship, literatureand morality."

I believethat secrecy was no longer considered asin when these fraternities were expelled.It is often said that they were driven outbecause they were snobbish and that theirsuccessors, the eating clubs, particularlyat Princeton, are more snobbish still.Whatever the argument and the excuse,it is evident that the fraternities wereconsidered inimical to the general educationalaims of those three distinguisheduniversities. One hears rumors of theweakness of fratemities elsewhere andthe prophecy that within ten years they,also, will be banished.Gloomy thoughts, these, on the Golden

Butour chapters exist, clearly, in a collegiateatmosphere much different from that of1848. So we do well to examine the statusof a fraternity in the modern collegeworld.There is always the chapter at thebottom of the scholarship list, and a freshmanaccepting a bid into that house seemsbound to take a nosedive, no matter howhard his adviser works on him. Thenthere is the chapter that doesn't pay itsbills and spends more than it has for adance or new wall-paper; the chapter thatgets drunk by mass production, the onethat joins with its neighbors to ruinthe extracurricular activities by placingthe important offices in incompetenthands, the one that really believes thatfraternities come first and the college second,the one smitten with suburbaniteand country-club snobbishness, and theone whose members are so enamored ofsuccess of the coUege-annual-and-alumnibiographytype that real accomplishmentof any sort, modestly and intensivelyachieved, goes unnoticed or even is discounted.Well, while I am at it, I may aswell say the worst. Many fraternities—let'sadmit it—most fraternities protect andpromote an innocent well-groomed mediocrity,providing, in the place where arecultivated the values which mean mostto all mankind, a haven of philistinism.When fraternities were founded theearnest men who prepared the literaryprograms of the weekly meetings and propoundeddebates for general disputationhad come to college to get ready for alearned profession. The colleges they attendedhad been designed on the modelof the German universities to which theirprofessors had gone for scientific andscholarly study. Not only have the purposesof the students in American collegeschanged; the colleges themselveshave changed. Germany is no longer themodel, but England. No longer an openuniversity with gelehrter professors stifflyignoring their students, but a closed collegeliving as a family of about two hundred,with dons young and old, largelybachelors, occupying rooms in the sameGORDON KEITH CHALMERS, BrownPresident of Kenyon College25.quadrangle with undergraduates. Thestyle in American colleges never has beennor probably ever will be anything butthe American style, yet the fact thatthroughout a great part of the nineteenthcentury American young men preparingto teach in college took their doctoratesin Munich or Goettingen while in thiscentury they have turned to Oxford, Cambridge,Edinburgh, and London haschanged the direction of scholarship, ofteaching, and, in Harvard, Yale, Princeton,and numerous other institutions, ofcollege organization. The secret societywas indigenous in the German universityand not in the British, probably for thevery reasons that recently have led to itsexpulsion from important colleges in thiscountry. The new style of higher educationin America is the collegiate style, asopposed to the university style. Tutors,informal instruction, honors work, andindependent projects in lieu of fixed examinationsbegin to show the change.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for June, 1939No one reading the educational literatureof the past fifteen years or attendingthe gatherings of the schoolmasters andthe college instructors, deans, and presidents,has failed to notice a revolution inAmerican thought about teaching andlearning. We have the new word. Personnel;attention in some quarters is paid notso much to the subject taught as to thespecial make-up of the student. Thewhole man is considered, not only hiswork, but his play, and particularly hisartistic play—President Cowley on beinginstalled af Hamilton revived a Greekword, holistic, to describe the modernAmerican view of the education of ayoung man.For a century the fraternities, by theircram sessions with freshmen and by thepersonal attention of alumni bringing upthe actives in the ways of the world, havetended to one half of the young men; theprofessors have tended to the other half.If the professors have expelled fraternitieshere and there it is because theyaren't satisfied with the job the societieshave done on their half.The universities are under the directionof vigorous and able men. Our ownpresident of Brown can not only managethe University and get money for it, hecan guide the faculty through one of themost difficult and important curriculardevelopments any college has recentlytaken—the reduction of the number ofcourses not only in the student's program,but (here is the mighty feat) in the faculty'sofferingsl What the colleges anduniversities may do with fratemities willnot necessarily be the result of the personalaffections and loyalties of their presidents,but will surely, as years go on,emerge from the general educationalpolicies of which I have spoken andwhich, with a few notable exceptions inurban universities, may be observedeverywhere from one coast to the other.Phi Delta Theta, which was founded"for mutual improvement in friendship,literature and morality" can meet thechanges which surround it. In fact, thefraternities in the past two decades havealready done a great deal to meet thechanges in the collegiate world. SincePresident Lowell of Harvard set out todestroy the belief that C is the gentleman'sgrade, scholarship cups, records ofchapter standings, and the visits of suchable national officers as Dean ArthurPriest have called attention to the importanceof good grades. Fraternity cram sessionsare common, not only to inch thepledges over the eligibility line for initiationbut to lead the stumbling steps ofthe upperdassman in search of a diploma.Cramming probably never hurtanybody, and it is a good thing to getfair marks instead of poor ones, but gettinggrades is not the chief business ofeducation, nor are the colleges, with theiractive interest in independent scholarshipand the student's own use of hisknowledge in some kind of written orordered performance, satisfied with meregrades.Other recent developments in fraternitylife are really more impressive thanthe pressure for marks. Chapter houselibraries stocked with good plays, novels,essays, and poetry—if they actually areused—represent an important side of realeducation; so do libraries of phonographrecords extensive enough to include symphonymusic, swing, ballads, opera, madrigals,and plain song. The picture rentalsystem instituted by President and Mrs.Wriston in Lawrence College a few yearsago has revolutionized not only fraternityhouse decoration but undergraduate tastein pictures.Phi Delta Theta and all the social fratemitiesare descendants of the firstGreek-Letter society in American Colleges,sad to say, a society which in recentyears has been more guilty than any otherof promoting a miserly view of highgrades—*BK. Its original purpose, likethe Purpose of * A 0, was to cultivate andenjoy ideas, not to mass the tokens ofhaving mastered them. The weekly orfortnightly literary exercise was the centreof fratemity effort. You were fined twentydollars if you failed to declaim, while itcost you only ten shillings for intoxica-

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for June, 1939 349tion or disorder. "Whether commonwealthsor monarchies are most subjectto seditions and commotions?" So ran theserious tone of the disputes—argumentsprobably lightly and informally treated,but representing some preparatory readingand study. In Williamsburg in theearly revolutionary days the studentsanalysed assiduously the problem:"Whether ye rape of ye Sabine womenwas just?"The literary exercise prevails in a fewfraternities today. If it flourished and ifin fact the attention and energies of themembers were focussed on the excellentdevelopment of their ideas on paper orin speech, one could say in truth that thefratemity contributes to collegiate educationnew style.At least in one particular modem fratemitiesprovide valuable experience notavailable to students in the new collegiateinstitutions. They offer the opportunityto learn how to govern. A man may governa committee or manage a dramaticsociety in business-like fashion, but hisexperience with resolutions, votes, andaccounts does not compare in significanceto the psychological problems, ranging allthe way from the amorous to the religious,with which he must deal if asa senior he is responsible for the house."He who is unable to live in society, orwho has no need because he is sufficientfor himself, must be either a beast or agod." This is the basic proposition of theworld's greatest treatise on Politics. "Asocial instinct is implanted in all menby nature," said Aristotle, its author. "Forman, when perfected, is the best ofanimals, but, when separated from lawand justice, he is the worst of all; sincearmed injustice is the more dangerous,and he is equipped at birth with the armsof intelligence and with moral qualitieswhich he may use for the worst ends.Wherefore, if he have not virtue, he isthe most unholy and the most savage ofanimals, and the most full of lust andgluttony. But justice is the bond of menin states, and the administration of justice,which is the determination of whatis just, is the principle of order in politicalsociety." Aristotle, whose words Ihave read, based the safe governance ofstates on the intimate government ot aman's own household. Debating societies,collegiate discussions, and tea parties ofyoung instructors and students do notprovide the practice of governing a household,and in these days when men withoutjustice are indeed proving themselvesfull of lust and gluttony and the mostunholy and savage of animals, it maywell be that the most important lessonof all is the lesson a fratemity senior maylearn if with discernment and sympathyhe does in fact keep harmony and realunderstanding among thirty young menliving under the same roof.Something, too, should be said aboutfriendship, not that the fraternity guaranteesfriendship. The shell of friendshipis there, and by keeping men together,four years of youth, and in looser touchfor the rest of their lives, the fratemityprovides the circumstances of fast andgenuine ties, of the kind of mutual regardwhich cannot spring up on firstacquaintance but requires the familiarityof years to nurture it.Phi Delta Theta numbers one hundredsix chapters, strong and respected in allquarters of North America. What I havesaid should not lead us to succumb, asfraternities have done in many colleges,to coercion from without, but to studywith care the new world of ideas in whichwe live and accelerate the improvementsnow at work within our chapters.All of us, as alumni, as actives, and aspledges, take part in iiie vast collegiateenterprise for reasons similar to those ofthe best and most imaginative of theteachers, deans, and college presidents—toenrich and fill with satisfactory enjoymentthe extractrrricular part of thosebright four years in college and to enhanceour use of what began in collegeduring all the rest of our lives. The orderof our efforts well may be supplied bythe words of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius:"Some seek for themselves privateretiring-places, as country villages, sea-

There are manyGermans, Jews, and Russians who cannever return to their homes.One evening after class a Russian, aGerman, and I walked out of the dass-

We could not understandone another's native language.We left school that evening laughing andjoking, all united by a chain of unrelatedincidents. There was nothingstrange about it. We were all the same,with the same desires to live and succeedin life. We were united by the bondof a common language. And why werewe so happy? Because we had met andhad been able to talk with one another.Whether we have world peace in thefuture depends largely upon the numberof personal contacts that can be madeamong the countries of the world. It isonly by living with the people that onecomes to understand them.In order to celebrate the end of theterm, my Swedish class one evening decidedto go to a cafe for a bite to eat anddrink. The group consisted of two Finns,a Bulgarian, a Russian, a Pole, a GermanJew, and a Persian. The orchestra wasmade up of Russians who played Russianguitars. The walls and window draperieswere black. On the walls were paintings,each depicting a Russian folk-story.We had a fine time while we ate anddrank and exchanged addresses, but itgot late and the conversation lagged abit. We requested a few Russian numberswhich the orchestra presented in thetypical, melancholy, Russian style. As Ilistened I glanced up and saw the Russianboy looking out through the blackcurtains, out over the waters of the Balticto his home in Russia. I had asked himbefore if he were going to return and heanswered, "Why? There is nothing theretor me. Why should I go back?" I askedif he were going to live here and he answered,"I don't know." There he sat withhis eyes a bit moist, his head restingagainst the wall, as he thought of hisfolks whom he, most likely, would neversee again. At the other end of the tablesat the eighteen-year-old German-Jewishboy. He had been here five months. Hehad not seen his parents for a year. Theyhad sought refuge in Italy before the lastcrisis. He was here absolutely alone withno legal permission to hold a job as yet.He was a sad sight. He told me it wouldbe at least two more years before hewould see his family again. And somewere not so fortunate as to leave beforethe crisis.How can boys and girls, broken awayfrom all their family ties, be expected togrow up with a normal, peace-lovingout-look, especially towards the peopleagainst whom they have been embittered?As one means to that end, powerful influencesare behind the movement to extendgreatly the exchange of students betweenthe different nations. I hope theuniversities of America will give moreopportunities to their undergraduatestudents for such exchanges. Better understandingis sure to result.The personal gains for the exchangestudent are many. The acquaintances Ihave made in these months will meanmuch to me. I attended the Nobel PrizePresentation, and later met Pearl Buckat a banquet given in her honor. I metthe presitient of General Motors in Sweden,and through him may spend a fewextra months here next summer. Everyexchange student may have the same advantages.Because of the opportunitiesto expand his outlook and his understandingof other peoples, I think theforeign exchange is a great thing for thestudent, for his future, and for his country'sfuture.Our Front CoverTHE cover displays our Allegheny chapter'sstately home, one of the finest in the Fraternity.Pennsylvania Delta is this year celebrating itssixtieth anniversary, having been establishedMay 30, 1879.

A Phi "Inside Europe"By CARTER ROYSTON BRYAN, California '37THE romantic idea of a foreign correspondentof one of the world'sleading newspapers, places him somewherebetween the status of an internationalspy, and an Alabama sophomore.The fact is that the Vienna correspondentof The Times of London has become involvedin more intrigue than the averageinternational spy, and at the same timehas had more fun than any college sophomoreever had—strictly in the line ofduty, of course. Daily we are supposed tocome in contact with fascinating, lissome,Danubian princesses. We meet the princesses,to be sure; I distinctly recall severalbuilt along the lines of Man MountainDean—minus the beard.But seriously, life as a foreign correspondentin Vienna has been most interestingand instructive, and for this opportunityI am indebted to my chapterof $ A 0, California Alpha. In the springof 1937, I was honored by my chapterbrothers by being selected as an exchangestudent to the University of Vienna. Assuch, I had the opportunity to come intoclose contact with Austrian students andstudent life, where as in all German Universities,the prime interests, aside fromstudies, are love, politics, and beer. Ieven became a participant in a studentduel.It was indirectly through such a studentpolitical discussion that I met BobBest, for sixteen years the Vienna correspondentof the United Press, who offeredme a part-time job working for theUP beginning February 10, 1938. Fromthe first night exciting stories werepecked out on my typewriter. On thatnight. King Carol ot Rumania set up hisdictatorship, and on the same night.Chancellor Schuschnigg quietly slippedout of Austria on his secret visit toAdolf Hitler at his mountain retreat inBerchtesgaden. Events moved so swiftlyin this part of the world that at times we[352]seemed to lose consciousness of the restof the world. Within one month, Austriaceased to be a sovereign nation. Newpolicies, laws, regulations, changed thelives of every individual with whom wewere acquainted. The man who yesterdaywhispered his political credo, nowshouted and ruled; those who yesterdayruled suddenly found themselves in exileor concentration camps.On the twentieth of April, I was appointedVienna correspondent of TheTimes. With the added responsibility ofbeing the sole representative of so importanta newspaper in Vienna, my journalisticcareer became even more fascinating.Although for some months no "worldshaker"broke in Vienna, I did have thepleasure of getting an exclusive scoop ofthe first big story to break since the Anschlussof Austria and Germany. At themoment the Nazi mob began to stormCardinal Innizter's palace, I was sittingacross the street in the Caf^ de I'Europe.As fumiture crashed through windows,and pictures, books, and other holy objectswere heaped on a great bonfire, Iflashed the news from a telephone booth,which stands between the palace and thecathedral. After about an hour, as I wasleaving the telephone booth, I was seizedby a couple of brown shirts and placedunder arrest. For forty-five minutes I wasgrilled about my activities; details of mystory were vigorously denied. They demandedthat I withhold other details,but the story was already on the press ofthe world. On the pretense of telephoningthe American Consul, I was able togive even the details of my arrest. Thestory was a smashi The day after the appearanceof The Times story, I wasquoted by the Strasbourg radio station,and denounced by the Berlin station.In about a month, I was arrested againby the Nazis, this time while taking notes

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for June, 1939 353on details of the anti-Jewish program ofNovember 10. A few minutes previousto my arrest, I had witnessed the dynamitingof a Jewish temple. Upon beingtaken to police headquarters, I observedacts of terrorism such as police make sureare never to be seen on the streets. Unwittingly,the Nazis gave me an exclusiveangle on a story which was otherwisewell-reported by the other correspondentsin Vienna. Furthermore, arrestat the scene of action, obviouslylabels your story as an eye-witness account.On the last day of November, I was"called on the carpet" for another exclusive.This time I had reported a purgewithin the party. In some respects thiswas the most thrilling story of all. Atelephone call from a friendly Nazi official;a "casual" meeting on a subwaytrain; in twenty minutes a carefullyguarded Nazi state secret, the shootingof over 135 party members, was beingprinted in the columns of The Times. Afew hours after the appearance of thenewspaper on the streets in London, Iwas "requested" to appear before thechief of the Press Bureau. In twelve hoursI was flying to Berlin. After three daysof questioning, I returned to Vienna. Thestory was never officially denied.Since that time, I have managed tokeep out of the "sauerkraut clinks," andhave had more time to drink Vienna'swine, listen to her music, and discuss politicsover a cup of coffee capped withwhipped cream, but I constantly have thefeeling that at almost any minute anythingmay happen.In New York Every Fri-day Is Phi-DayTHE Phi Delta Theta Club of NewYork is not moving out of town duringthe World's Fair.

Superlatives are expected fromsports writers, especially when they aredealing with their favorites, but wordscome at a loss when trying to describe ourteam of this year.I had the privilege of watching Oregonwrest the national collegiate title fromOhio State at Evanston last March 27and it was a real thrill to watch six Phiswalk under the searchlights and be introducedto the crowd; four on the easternchampion Ohio State team and twoon the western champion Oregon U team.And then Coach Hobson of Oregon alsotook a bow. Three of these players hadbeen selected for two consecutive yearson the All-Phi team and 1 felt that theywere really coming through in grand stylefor the fratemity. These three Phis areselected for the third year on our firstAll-Phi team—they are Captain JimmyHull, of Ohio State; and Laddie Gale andUrgel Wintermute of Oregon.We will start our first team selectionswith these three brothers, who are chosenfor the third time on our first team.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for June, 1939 355THE ALL-PHI TEAM OF 1939Upper: PHI DELTA THETA'S FOUR ALL-AMERICANS: left to right: Hull, OAi'o State; Wintermute andGale, Oregon; McNatt, OklahomaLower: Anderson, Purdue; Johnson, Maryland; Perry, Butler; Wardley, Illinoisthe first time in years. He was a greatleader and his unorthodox shots puzzledall opponents. Perhaps his greatest gamewas against Villanova in the easternchampionship tourney when he scored28 points to establish a new Palestrarecord. He had an average of 15.3 pointsper game in conference games and ledthe conference scoring with 169 points.Jim was not an opera star forward, forhe always did a good job on defense.Laddie Gale of Oregon is placed at aforward also. For the third season thisgiant six-foot-four forward led his team'sscoring and he came within one basket ofsetting a new conference scoring recordfor all time. He made 186 points in the16 conference games. He holds the recordfor a 20-game last schedule with 249points. The remarkable part of Gale'srecord is the fact that on defense he linesup at guard position. Gale shoots wellwith either hand and rarely missed acharity toss. He is a truly great All-American.Urgel Wintermute, towering Oregongiant of six feet eight, and.teammate ofGale on the national champion Oregon,team is placed at guard this year afterbeing our center for two previous years.He lined up at guard on defense forOregon and his stretch made it next toimpossible to score over him. Urgel wassecond high team scorer to Gale for thethird year. He will jump center and dropback to defense after all offensive breaks.

Scat McNatt, the Sooners'fiery captain, was one of the year'sfastest men in basketball. He led his teamto the conference title and set a newhigh-scoring record with 29 points againstIowa State. He led the conference andteam scoring again this year. McNattsparked his Oklahoma team to the finalsin the western playoff tournament on theCoast and was beaten by Oregon in thefinals. He was named on the all-star tournamentteam ot this western collegiatechampionship. He was named also onmany All-Americans and the All-Conference.Captain Gene Anderson of Purdue,after making All-American in 1938, wasdogged by injury this season and did notplay in more than half the games. He wasthe entire Purdue team and when he wasout the team lost. Hence the poor Purduerecord. We can not leave him off our firstteam because ot his stellar play and leadershipwhen he was able to play. Geneis a big six toot four boy with a dead eyeand a dribbling floor game that can't betied. He is a great leader and a fine player.In the Indiana hotbed of basketball hewas unanimous All-State choice.Three new men are placed on our firsthonorary team this year.

His6-foot-3 stature was always in evidencein Butler's play. Butler had one of thebetter teams in the nation and Perry wasthe spark. He did everything well andwas a stellar floor man and ball handler.Ed Johnson, son of the famous WalterJohnson, former baseball pitcher, washigh scorer and all-Conference choice ofthe strong Maryland team. He was asmooth ball handler and saved many agame for the Maryland team. He is atall, rangy boy who has all the qualificationsneetled for a first-team berth on ourteam.Jay Wardley, guard on the fightingIllini team, has bid for all-star fame forthree years, but always was dogged byinjuries. This season he played throughthe entire season without missing a game.He is a six footer and weighs 190. Heloves contact and roughs the play withfinesse. He is also a dead eye from out onthe court and rarely missed a set shot. Jayis a players' player who is always therewhen the heat is on.Other Phis had remarkable records andthe second team choices were not tar behindthe first team men in ability. Theyare all the best in their conferences andsections. However, there can be but onefirst team and since most of them areseniors this season the second team menwill move up next year.Special recognition should be giventhe Franklin team that had ten Phis toreceive letters this season.

Our Three New Province PresidentsSINCE the Old Point Convention threenew men have been called to theprovince presidency; in Delta, Lambda,and Mu Provinces. All of them have beenproved by previous work for * A 0. Ineach case their appointment has beenhailed with enthusiasm by their chapters,and the Fraternity can confidentlyexpect good results from their incumbency.In our scheme of organization, theprovince presidency is one of the key positions.It is fortunate for us that we cancommand the services of men like BrothersMattingly, Wilterding, and Barnes.MATTINGLY, OF DELTAEARL STANSBURY MATriNGLY, Washingtonand Lee '20, is one of those rare individualswho prefer to take things thehard way and earn their rewards by hardEARL STANSBURY MATTINGLYWashington and Lee '20work. This was characteristic of him inhis student days, in which he distinguishedhimself as a scholar and heldmany positions which called for careful,painstaking work coupled with capacityto get along well with people. While yetan undergraduate he was called to be anassistant in the university registrar's office;on graduation he was appointedRegistrar, and has held the position continuouslysince. He has the reputationof never having forgotten the name orthe face of any student whom he has registeredin Washington and Lee.For ten years Brother Mattingly servedas chapter adviser for his old chapter,and his record for sympathetic dealingswith the active men and for efficientfinancial methods was worthy of allpraise. More than any one person he isresponsible for securing and financing thehandsome house of Virginia Zeta. Becauseof his acquaintance with collegeproblems Brother Mattingly was made amember of the Survey Commission in1932 and served in that capacity for sixyears. This connection gave him acquaintancewith the problems of theGeneral Fratemity and the men who havebeen leaders in the administration.When the presidency of Delta Provincebecame vacant it was natural thatBrother Mattingly should be considered:by character and training he had thequalities requisite for it.In the short time he has been in officehe has visited all his chapters and establishedthe contacts that will mean efficientand willing co-operation. His abilityto manage was well shown by hishandling of tlie arrangements for the reinstallationof Virginia Delta, which wascarried off so smoothly as to astonish allwho were privileged to witness it.—HARTsiLLRAGON, JR., Washington and Lee '40.[358]WILTERDING, OF LAMBDAIT came as no surprise to members ofWisconsin Beta when the General Councilof the Fraternity appointed John H.Wilterding to succeed Judge Paul Carrollas president of Lambda Province.Long an enthusiastic fratemity leader,he has been a guiding force behind WisconsinBeta since its re-establishment at

360 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for June, 1939qualified to succeed the high-grade menwho have preceded him.When Barnes entered Westminster Collegein 1926, he was acquainted with thesignificance of the college fraternity, forhis father and older brothers were membersof other fraternities. Phi Delta Thetawas proud to pledge him, and has notceased to be proud ot him since. In thechapter and the college his abilities wererecognized. He served as warden, treasurer,and president of Missouri Beta, andheld many important college offices, besidesbeing an honor student throughouthis course.When he graduated in 1930, he wasappointed traveling secretary by GeneralHeadquarters, and in the two years heserved in that capacity he visited everychapter of * A 0. This experience gavehim a unique insight into the problemsof college men and of the fraternities.He entered the University of MissouriLaw School in 1932 and graduated in1935 with the honors ot his class. He enteredthe practice ot law at Mexico, Mo.,in his father's office, and a year later stoodfor election as prosecuting attorney, winningby a large majority and being reelectedfor a second term two years later.Last year, though the youngest practicingattorney in the county, he was electedpresident of the Bar Association.In Latney Barnes are combined a delightfulpersonality, razor-keen intelligence,sound judgment, courage to fightfor the right regardless of the odds, anddeep-founded love for $ A 0.

Ohio Alpha's Six Phi Beta KappasBy LARRY EDWARDS, Miami '40A BOUT ten years ago there was a re-/ \ vival, at Ohio Alpha, of an oldfashionedidea that the main purpose ofattending college is to learn something.While the chapter had not entirely lostsight of the intellectual side of collegelife, considerably more emphasis hadbeen placed on the number of athletesthan on the number of *BK keys.In a few years results began to show.Ohio Alpha slowly crept up the scholarshipscale. At last, in the semi-annualranking of fraternities at Miami, OhioAlpha, like Abou Ben Adam, led allthe rest. For the last six years the brothershave not fallen below second place.The flowering, however, of the intellectualrevival came recently when thedean of the College of Liberal Arts announcedthe mid-terra elections to $ B K.On the list were five members of OhioAlpha. These five, with a hold-over fromthe previous elections, give Ohio Alphasix members of the society. In the lastelections no other fraternity achievedmore than one member so that scholasticallyOhio Alpha enjoys alone a veryrarefied atmosphere.Robert Redlin, a senior, was electedto the society as a junior last year. Ofthe five new members, two are juniorsand three are seniors. Ohio Alpha justmissed having a sixth member, LawrenceEdwards, a junior, missing election bya fraction of a point. Three of the newmembers made straight A's last semester.A most surprising thing is that not oneof the six is a bookworm. Two have madeletters in athletics. One edited the yearbook, and all have been active on thecampus. One even found time to get married:The five new members are Dick Canright,senior from Akron; Jack Storms,junior from Dayton; Dane Prugh, juniorfrom Dayton; Louis Heald, senior fromDayton; and Bob Van Ausdall, seniorfrom Eaton.

Dick won his numeralsin freshman cross-country, and was 145-pound wrestling champion for two years.He is attending Miami on a three-yearscholarship, and has been awarded agraduate assistantship in physics at theCalifornia Institute of Technology fornext year. Incidentally, Dick and his wife—yes, he's the married member—bothmade straight A's this last semester, althoughboth are carrying an extraordinarilyheavy schedule. Mrs. Canright, ajunior, struts a B K key ot her own.Louis Heald was secretary of O A Kthis year, and chairman of the Homecomingcelebration. He was on the baseballand track squads his Freshman year,and played baseball his Sophomore yearalso. He edited the Recensio, campusyearbook, and is one of the most eloquentmembers of the University Speakers Bureau.This year he won first prize in theannual Fisk Oratorical Contest, open toall students ot the University. He is amember of * H 2 and 2 A II, Spanishhonorary, and was secretary ot OhioAlpha this year. Lou is aiming at thediplomatic service, and spent one summerrecently studying in Mexico City.Dane Prugh was the only junior mantapped by O A K last semester, and chairmannedthe all-campus carnival thisspring. He is a member of * H 2, and* 2, biological honorary. Dane has sufferedthe misfortune of letting two B'sblemish his grade-reports during two anda halt years. He is on the glee dub, theUniversity Orchestra, and is a memberot *MA, mu.sic honorary. He made hisfreshman numerals in football, playedvarsity football, made a letter in track,and is a member of Tribe Miami, athletichonorary. Prugh was president of hisfreshman class, and a member of thesophomore and junior "Y" councils. Heentered Miami on the two-year PatRoudebush scholarship, and the $ B Kjunior scholarship, awarded to a sophomoreman with a conspicuous scholasticrecord, took care of his junior year. Nextyear Dane will transfer to the Harvardmedical school, and, judging by his pastrecord, he should go places.Bob Redlin is an athlete as well as ascholar. Last year his principal honorswere a tap from OAK, winning theRamsen trophy for the best all-roundjunior in the School ot Business, andwinning the Hinkley award tor the bestall-round junior in the University. Inaddition. Bob was a meraber of the Student-FacultyCouncil and of the varsitysodal dub, as well as assistant businessmanager of the Recensio. He has alsobeen president ot his sophomore dass,treasurer ot * H 2, and a member of thecross-country squad. This year he hasbeen kept busy as treasurer of the Miamichapter.Jack Storms is also an athlete, one otthe most promising fullbacks in recentyears. In his freshman year, he won numeralsin football, basketball, and baseball,while making * H 2 on the side. Hemade his letter in football this year,and was recently initiated into TribeMiami. He was president of his sophomoreclass, and is custodian of the FoundersRoom in Old North Dorm. He wasrush chairman of Ohio Alpha this year.Jack has accepted an appointment atWest Point for next year.Bob Van Ausdal, a senior in the Collegeof Liberal Arts, was a member ofthe Recensio and the campus newspaperstaffs his freshman year, and was officemanager on the Recensio in his sophomoreyear. Bob is also a member ot LesPolitiques, honorary for students interestedin government and politics.That's the story of the Phi Betes atOhio Alpha. The rest ot the brothershave their share of the brains, too, forthe active average last semester washigher than any other fraternity on thecampus. Yet there is plenty of social life,and a bull session or bridge game is goingmost of the hours of day and night. Thesecret? It might be a good one to discover.

Three Notable Phi FamiliesTHE HOWES OF VERMONT ALPHATHE first generation of Howes includedfive brothers: Marshall, Herman,Arthur, Carlton, and Clinton.Marshall Avery Howe, '90, graduatedfrom the University of Vermont with highscholastic honors and went to the Universityof California as instructor in botanywhere he remained five years. Therehe developed an interest in liverwortsand seaweeds which occupied the majorportion of his research work during theremainder of his life. He received thePh.D. degree from Columbia in 1898 andthe honorary degree of Doctor of Sciencefrom the University ot Vermont in 1919.In 1901, he joined the staff of the NewYork Botanical Garden where he passedthrough all the grades from an assistant tothe directorship. He took part in the developmentof the Garden from its merebeginning to one of the leading botanicalinstitutions in the world. During thistime he produced many articles, reports,and monographs on the classification, lifehistories, and activities of the liverwortsand marine algae of North America andin this field he became an eminent authority.A permanent contribution by Dr.Howe to botanical and geological sciencepertains to the role of lime-secreting algaein the formation of limestone reefs in oceanicwaters, a phenomenon previously attributedsolely to coral animals.SECOND GENERATION HOWESLeft to right: Clifton D., Delevan H., Marshall D.,Prentiss M.[363]In recognition of his scientific contributions,Dr. Howe was elected to membershipin the National Academy of Sciences,fellow and one-time president of the NewYork Academy of Sciences, fellow in theHOWES OF THE FIRST GENERATIONLeft to right: Marshall A., Herman A., Clifton D.,Arthur O., Carlton D.American Association for the Advancementof Science, president of the TorreyBotanical Club; and he was presidentelectof the Botanical Society of Americaat the time of his death in December 1936.Conscientiousness, circumspection, andthoroughness characterized all his work.Herman AUine Howe, '92, is a farmerin Southern Vermont. In some ways Hermanhas the best brain in the family. Duringhis first year at the university he had avery severe attack of typhoid fever whichaffected his heart. The doctor sent himhome with only a short time to live. Thatwas forty-six years ago and he is still ingood health for one of his age. As ayoung man he was constantly tinkeringwith machinery. He devised and manufacturedin a small way a counter-balancedbicycle pedal; he patented a windowframe without putty which can be

He collectedplants and studied birds as a boyon the farm. In his mature years he wroteand lectured delightfully about birds andtheir habits. He received a Master of Sciencedegree from the University of Vermontfor a study on the birds of that state.Carlton and Clifton Howe were identicaltwins with very close mental andphysical patterns. "They frequently balancedin the same notch on the scales upto the age of thirty; their father never pretendedto tell them apart when a fewpaces away; they studied the same booksfrom country school through the universityand their academic grades nevervaried by more than a few points.Clifton Durant Howe, '98, after a yearin high school teaching, went back to theUniversity of Vermont for the Master ofScience degree and then proceeded to theUniversity of Chicago where he receivedhis Ph.D. in botany in 1904. The followingfour years were spent in teaching andadministrative work at the Biltmore ForestSchool on the Vanderbilt estate inNorth Carolina. At the University of Torontohe passed through all the gradesfrom lecturer to full professor and Deanof the faculty of Forestry. He has beenpresident of the Canadian Society otForest Engineers, president of the CanadianForestry Association, chairman ofthe Ontario Forestry Advisory Board,one of the vice-presidents of the AmericanForestry Association and a memberof the executive council of the Societyof American Foresters. He is the authorof several government reports on forestconditions in various parts of Canada andof numerous magazine and newspaperarticles on forestry.The second generation of Phis includesPrentiss Mellen Howe, '35, son ot MarshallA.

Kansas University's Interfraternity SingBy CHARLES E. CURRY, Kansas '40THE glee dub of Kansas Alpha hasestablished a record for musicalability of which it believes it is justlyproud. A trophy that is awarded annuallyat the University of Kansas for theorganization winning the InterfraternitySing, sponsored by * M A has rested inthe * A 0 house for the last four successiveyears, having been won by thePhis each year since it was offered.This spring the chapter again enteredthe contest, its glee club being directedby Jack Laffer, talented musician, dramatist,and chapter president during thelast semester. In spite of keen competitionamong eight fraternities, the threesongs presented by the Phis once moredemonstrated a choral ability which thejudges ranked in first place. The selectionssung by the Phi Delt glee clubwere the Alma Mater ot Kansas University,Brahm's Lullaby, and a stirring arrangementof the Marching Song of PhiDelta TJieta. It is the excellence of thisarrangement to which a large part otthe success of the glee club has been due.The numbers sung this year, the last twoof which were arranged by Laffer, wereno exception, and the contrast betweenthe Lullaby and the Marching Song displayedto good advantage the ability ofthe group.The Interfraternity Sing has become afirmly established and popular traditionat Kansas during the five years since itsinception, in spite of the comer on theevent the Phis have held thus tar.

The Knox Phis havewon thirteen games in a row.The Phis at the University of Illinoisare also the intramural basketball champsfor this year.It was only natural that these two intramurals,greatest of the great, shouldcome together. On the seventeenth otApril 1939, the two teams met in thegreat field of battle, the Knox Gym. AnKnox vs. Illinoisexciting game followed, fast, full ofthrills, and high scoring. And the bestteam won, and the other best team tookdefeat easily and entertained the winnersafter the battle at the $ A 0 house.Yes, Illinois Eta has a great team to beatthe Knox Phis by a score of 43 to 34.

Caches, West Shore Acres,Mount Vernon, Wash., and Edward Williams,331 Forum Building, Sacramento,Calif., are the officers in charge of theConference. They will be glad to furnishdetailed programs and other informationon request.—CHARLES E. CACHES.THE ATLANTIC CONFERENCEPHI DELTA THETA'S first AtlanticRegional Conference, scheduled forNew 'Vork December i and 2, will beheld in the most heavily populated Phicenter on the Fraternity map. For thatreason the question of a banquet roomadequate for the occasion is being studiedby President Ballou and Alumni CommissionerHoffman, who have been assignedto plan the Conference.Headquarters have been established atthe Belmont-Plaza hotel, Lexington Avenueand Forty-ninth Street. By cramming,the banquet hall will seat two hundredand fifty persons. Present indications arethat the New York Alumni club, whoseFounders Day dinners near the seven[369]hundred mark, will direct the banquet.Immediately the size of the hall becomesan important factor.The Atlantic Region embraces theprovinces of Alpha, Beta, Gamma, andRho. There are twenty-one chapters involved,including Dalhousie, McGill, Toronto,Colby, Dartmouth, Vermont, Williams,Amherst, M.I.T., Brown, Comell,Union, Syracuse, Colgate, Lafayette, Lehigh,Penn, Swarthmore, Dickinson,Gettysburg, and Penn State. This regionwill be recognized by old timers as coveringthe boundaries of old Alpha Province,so conspicuous at the general conventionsof years ago.Chapters in Delta province are beingurged to attend the Atlantic Regionalbecause when the Southern Regional washeld at Atlanta in 1937, examinationsprevented the attendance of some of thedelegates. In Delta province are the chaptersat Maryland, Randolph-Macon, Virginia,Washington and Lee, Richmond,Duke, North Carolina, and Davidson.Should all of these twenty-nine chapterssend delegations, the attendance shouldcome close to reaching the peak.Long before the colleges adjourned forthe summer. President Ballou sent lettersto all the chapters in the Region askingfor suggestions as to arrangements,themes for discussion, and what entertainmentfeatures the chapter delegationsthemselves could provide. This is in linewith the policy of all Regionals that the"undergraduates run the show."An extra effort is being made to havethe chapter advisers to attend. In someof the Regionals, chapters have takentheir advisers along as guests by way ofshowing appreciation for services. Somechapters already ha\e pledged one hundredper cent attendance. The conferencedates are holidays for most ot the chapters.Some chapters have started to accumulatea special fund to make the attendanceas large as possible.—DEAN M.HOFFMAN

A Corner with Phi AuthorsAs viewed by GEORGE A. SCHUMACHER, Butler '25A Puritan in Babylon. By WILLIAM AL­LEN WHITE. Macmillan. 1938. 460 pp.William Allen White, the Sage of Emporia,and one of * A 0's most distinguishedauthors, has come forth with anotherbook. This time it is a biography ofCalvin Coolidge bearing the interestingand symbolic title, A Puritan in Babylon.Undoubtedly Calvin Coolidge was oneof the strangest of men ever to live in theWhite House. When you have a man withthe characteristics of Calvin Coolidgeheading a great nation you have the subject-matterfor a good biography. AndWilliam Allen White was the man andthe writer to handle such an assignment.Much of the stem, cold Coolidge,White explains and interprets by delvinginto the ancestry and the background ofPresident Coolidge. While many Americanswere moving westward in industrialexpansion, the people of the Vermontcountry had remained well within theirown territory and retained the earlierhabits and virtues of their grandfathers.Thus Calvin Coolidge was shy yet shrewdin his own way.White traces the career of Coolidgefrom the days of his earliest political associations.He was essentially a party manand participated in politics unfailingly assuch. Through the long career Coolidgeis carefully portrayed until he reached theWhite House. Various interesting storiesand incidents are related regarding Mr.Coolidge. All ot them deal with thestrange, enigmatic character and personalitywhich Americans generally knowMr. Coolidge possessed. As a good andhonorable man he was surrounded io hispolitical life by a throng of men of histime who did not live by his high standards.For this reason White pictures himas a Puritan in Babylon.Throughout the book the personalityof Mrs. Coolidge shines with all the lustrewhich was so characteristic of the formerfirst lady of the land. Calvin Coolidgewas, to say the least, not outwardly a[371]romantic husband, but he was faithfuland profoundly devoted to Mrs. Coolidge.He was a man of few words but his wordscounted for much. About a month beforehe died he went to New York on business.WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, Kansas 'goAlthough he was gone from home foronly a few days he wrote as follows fromthe Vanderbilt Hotel:My dear Grace:Tomorrow I shall go home. Unlessyou hear send the car to Springfieldat 8:40 Friday.I have thought of you all the timesince I left home.With much love.Calvin CoolidgeIn the last line you have everythingthat summarizes Calvin Coolidge. Despitean outward appearance of austerity hewas gentle, kind, loyal, and affectionate.Whatever your politics, you will have abetter understanding and a better appreciationof Calvin Coolidge if you willread A Puritan in Babylon. In this bookWilliam Allen White once more revealshimself as one of America's foremost
