THE BULLET IN

Cambridge, Mass., May, 1917

PUBLISHED BY THE HARVARD CHAPTER OF THE ACACIA FRATERNITY

THE ANNUAL BANQUET

The eleventh annual banquet of the chapter was held at the Parker House, Boston on the evening of April 7.

An excellent six-course dinner was served, after which a splendid program wa·s rendered. Brother Frank G. Davidson officiated as toast master. The toasts were:-College Men and Masonry, A. G. Pierrot, of Colorado chapter; Harvard Chapter, Paul Amundson; Acacia, Dean Roscoe Pound, of the Harvard Law school; The Grand Chapter, Grand Secretary A. A. Jenkins. Brother Dale recited several poems of his own composition.

In behalf of the alumni, M. V. Connor presented the Chapter with a fine new American flag, size 6x10.

The success of the banquet was due in large measure to the efforts of N. R. Hayes, cha·irman of the banquet committee.

ALUMNI GIFTS TO THE CHAPTER

A large safe has been installed at the Chapter House for the safekeeping of the records, files, reports, etc., of the fraternity. The safe is a gift from the alumni, and the active chapter begs to express its appreciation to all who contributed to the fund.

The large American flag, which, together with fixtures, was presented by the alumni at the annual banquet is now floating proudly to the breeze in front of the fraternity house. We are very grateful to those who donated the flag.

MEN LEAVE FOR TRAINING CAMPS

A farewell dinner was held on Tuesday, May 1, in the North Tower Room at Memorial Hall in honor of the me.mbers who are leaving for the Reserve Officers' Training Camps .

ATTENTION, ALUMNI! ! !

In view of the interna·tional situation, it is e x tremely likely that next year will be the hardest one that the chapter has had to fa·ce. For this reason it is very desirable to turn our old accounts into cash as soon as possible. There are still over three hundred dollars on the book s due from the alumni If you are indebted to the chapter, won't you do your utmost to clean up the a•(!Count as soon as possible?

You are also urged to keep the chapter posted in regard to changes of address, marriages, births, and other inten:sting items.

Mortgage on house, Subscriptions received, LIABILITIES Surplus from house operation, to date,

The above balance sheet of the Acacia Trust as of April 1, shows the Trust in the most prosperous condition it has yet enjoyed. It a•lso shows the subscribers that every dollar paid by them is in the hands of the Trustees or has been applied upon the purchase price, thus proving that the Trust plan is working out on the bus : ness basis intended, namely, that all contributions should be held as capital and that the house should pa·y for its upkeep and Trust expenses.

The income statement below is important as showing more paid in on subscriptions than in any previous yean, and more paid by the Chapter on its rent account. The Chapter has paid its rent regula·rly and promptly instead of at irregular intervals as its surplus warranted.

Ca·sh on hand April 1, 1917,

In addition to the subscriptions received as above credited in the balance sheet, $3984.85 is pledged, making $6300 in all subscribed. As the house cost $9000, we need 27 a·dditional subscriptions before we can call the property ours. Do not think that because the Trust owns one bond it does not need your sub scr iption-or your yearly payment upon the subscriptions already made. The balance of the mortgage shows the nee d. We have bought a bond because it pays 5 per cent as against 4 per cent we pay on the mortgage. Do not forget that the mortgage is approachin g maturity and that we need your ten dollars per year now to a·void a hurry call for fifty dollars from you when it does mature It should be paid earlier so that the house can be made suitable for the Chapter-you surely have not forgotten how ill-suited it was when you were active. Every year we put up with it means a harder ta·sk to interest the new men in improving it . Mich;gan built a house for $40,000; Purdue built one for $30,000; Iowa state ha s just built :< new houst How long· must H arvarcl c hapter wa-it for ownership of a $9000 house? Get your name on this list of pl edges to a real house for the Chapter-get it on now.
