OF DEFERRED RUSHING

ACACIA

FRATERNITY~~~ AUTUMN

VOLUME XLXIII

1957

It is the job of the Fraternity mag-

azine to keep the brothers informed about current thought in the fraternity world. Every year we hear about more schools adopting "deferred rushing" as the answer to all the problems of the chapters on that campus. Sometimes a Theta Kap is the "big wheel'' in the move.

Deferred rushing is bad-bad for the fraternity system. It sounds attractive but is usually being "sold" by several kinds of people: {1) college officers who dislike the fraternities and say so ; (2) college officers who dislike frater nities but don't say so; (3) college officers who like fraternities but are fanatics about scholarship and vision a cure-all; and ( 4) young college officers who are looking to please (1) , (2) or (3) The trouble with the reasoning behind "deferred rushing" is that it assumes from the first that college fraternities are an "ungood" influence on freshmen, from which they must be protected as long as possible (but usually not so long that the college will ¡ have to build new dorms for upperclassmen).

If college fraternities are a bad influence, they should be abolished. We think they are a good influence and thus draw the conclusion that the sooner and longer a freshman belongs to one, the better man he will be. And as far as we know, the best fraternity thinkers agree with this.

Our personal opinion of the best time for fraternity pledging is shown below, in our order of preference, the best on top: 1. One to two weeks after matriculation.

NATIONAL PRESIDENT KRIEGER AWARDED MASONRY'S 33rd DEGREE The highest honor which is available in the Scottish Rite Masonry was conferred in September at Boston, Massachusetts, on our President. The Scottish Rite Masonry is that branch of the Masonic Order which confers degrees from the 4th to the 32nd on members who are Master Masons which are men who have completed their first three degrees in Masonry. Teachings in the Scottish Rite Masonry are an exemplification of the various truths which are presented in the first three degrees of Masonry, and a further explanation of the work that a man receives when he becomes a Master Mason.

Geographically the Scottish Rite Territory is divided into two sections. The Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, comprising the area north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River, or fifteen states, and the older or Mother Jurisdiction is the Southern Jurisdiction comprising all the rest of the United States. The gov2

erning body of both jurisdictions is the active 33° members of which there are a small number in each state, usually from one to five members.

Annually the Supreme Council of the Northern Jurisdiction elects men to receive honorary membership in the 33° who after one year of probation receive the conferral of the degree. Of the 474,000 Socttish Rite Masons in the Northern jurisdiction, 174 received the honorary membership in the 33° September 25, 1957, in Boston, Massachusetts.

The election to honorary membership in the 33° is a much coveted honor and one which comes to a member of the Scottish Rite Masonry for his work in Masonry, his public service, or possibly distinction in some matter. Undoubtedly the selection of President Bill for membership in the honorary 33° this year was influenced to a great extent by his activities. One as a past head of one of the coordinate bodies in Scottish Rite Masonry

in Peoria, the other as President of the Acacia Fraternity that every Mason recognizes as a fraternity having a Masonic background.

Brother Krieger first became a Mason in 1917. In October of that year he was pledged to Illinois Chapter of Acacia and initiated very shortly thereafter. Thereafter as an undergraduate he was assistant business manager of the Illinois magazine and very active in student politics on the campus although he held no chapter offices.

About 1947 he was elected as an alumni director of the Board of Directors of the Illinois Alumni Corporation. The next year he became President of the Alumni Board for the Illinois Chapter and continued in that time until the fall of 1953 when he was appointed National Treasurer to succeed Frank Holloway who had to resign on account of illness. In 1954 at the Golden Anniversary of Ann Arbor, Bill was elected National President of the fraternity.

In addition to carrying on his practice as a Certified Public Accountant, he has also been active in affairs of his church, the First Presbyterian Church of Peoria, being a member of the Board of Elders and Chairman of the Finance Committee and for the past six years has been a Director of the McKinley Foundation, a Presbyterian Youth Center, at Champaign.

National offices in fraternity and sororities [eem to run in his family, since his sister was the national treasurer of Gamma Phi Beta. She was the wife of W. Elmer Ekblaw who at one time was National President and later National Secretary of Acacia Fraternity. His wife and two daughters are members of a local sorority at Bradley University which was for more than 25 years a local on the Bradley campus and only recently became a chapter of Pi Beta Phi. Mrs. Krieger not only served as President of her active chapter but later as Alumni President of her organization.

The organization of Scottish Rite in any locality consists of four distinct bodies. First is the Lodge of Perfection. It has juridiction over the degrees from the 4th . to the 14th inclusive. The second is the Council of Princes of Jerusalem that has jurisdiction over the 15th and 16th degrees. Third is the Chapter of Rose Croix that has jurisdiction over the 17th and 18th degrees.

The fourth is the Consistory that has jurisdiction over the 19th to the 32nd degree inclusive. These four bodies are coordinate, that is they have autonomous control over their work and are equal in stature as far as recognition is concerned. No man can be a member of the Consistory unless he is also a member of the Lodge of Perfection, Council of Princes of J erusaJ.em and Rose Croix. However, an individual can be a Sottish Rite Mason and only be a member of the Lodge of Perfection up through the 14th degree if he so desires. He may stop at any place and he is entitled to all the rights and privileges of the preceding bodies together with the body in which he maintains his membership. Many individuals complete their Scottish Rite Masonry in steps by becoming a member of each of the coordinate bodies in succession.

The York Right of Masonry consists of another branch of Masonry which begins at the Master Mason level and ends with Commandery in which an individual becomes a Knight of the Commandery. Membership in the Shrine which is normally called the playground of Masonry, is limited to men who are either Scottish AUTUMN, 1957

Rite Masons of the 32° or are York Rite Masons who are members of the Commandery. Whenever any individual loses his membershipship at the Master Mason level, generally for non-payment of dues or for charges unbecoming a Mason, which are proved, he automatically loses membership in all other Masonic bodies.

Since membership in the symbolic lodge or Master Mason is the foundation of all masonry, good standing as a Master Mason is a prerequisite for membership in any other Masonic body. Be it either York Right or Scottish Rite or Shrine, it must be emphasized that once a man has achieved the distinction of being a Master Mason, he is never any more a Mason, no matter how many other degrees or honors that he may receive. The degree of Master Mason is the ultimate of all Masonry.

WESTERN

By Roger Pearson National Tr aveling Secre tary

"Unto whom much is given, of him shall much be required," was to have been the theme of the 1957 Western Regional Conference held on the Berkeley Campus of the University of California. However, in retrospect, the words of Joe Bloch, Southern California Advisor, "From him unto whom almost no sleep has been granted, practically nothing can logically be expected," seem more appropriate as a theme and summary. Between the lure of San Francisco's night life and a raucous bass voice at 7:00 a.m., little sleep was granted to the visiting brothers, which they took, not ungrumblingly, in their stride.

Fifty-four official delegates from 12 chapters journeyed to the Bay Area for the four-day conference. The inclusion of the Colorado and Wyoming Chapters made 4

this the largest Western R egional ever held. The delegates and guests were housed in the fine new homes of California Acacia and P hi Kappa T au Fraternity.

The Registration desk began its activity at noon, September 1, with most of the delegates being officially registered by 6:00 p.m., with the exception of those brave men who valiantly fought the losing battle in Nevada. Las Vegas happened to be on everyone's route from the Rocky Mountain area.

A reception given by the California Executive Council was held at the Chapter House on Sunday evening, giving the delegates a chance to become better ac· quainted and to enjoy the free refreshments.

Bright and too early Monday morning, drowsy Acacians gathered at Dwinelle Hall to be awakened and

welcomed by Thomas E. Dutton, Assistant Dean of Men in charge of Fraternities in California. Kim Wakefi.eld also welcomed the delegates on behalf of the Host Chapter. A challenging Keynote Address was given by our National Vice-President, Harvey R. Amos, stressing to our men the responsibilities of a Fraternity man and in particularly, an Acacian.

A series of panel discussions followed the opening session, covering all the major phases of chapter operation. The Monday night session was devoted to discussion of the Ritual as to proposed changes and preinitiation week ceremonies. Many excellent ideas were acquired which have been forwarded to the Ritual Revision Committee.

Of course Acacians cannot gather without having a picnic, so on Tuesday evening our men wound their way through ,the hills of Berkeley to beautiful Tilden Park.

Upon arrival, much to their dismay, it was learned that the Picnic Equipment had not arrived. The only alternative then, was to sing. This they did loud and well, as a result of the many song breaks taken during the panel discussions. The Equipment did arrive and soon disappeared along with most of the picnickers as the chill bay breeze found its way to our lofty site. The concluding banquet was held on Wednesday evening at Spenger's Fish Grotto in Berkeley. The Honorable Chris B . Fox, Superior Judge in Alameda County, and California Acacian, gave the main address. Dean H . E.

It can be said that the 1957 Western Regional ConI· ference was a success in that the ties of friendship were l" strengthened; Acacians gained an understanding. of the National Organization from the fine comprehens1ve report of Vice-President Amos, and from this understanding, justifiable pride, plus the opportunity to give light to others by sharing ideas and chapter practices.

The University of Illinois was the scene of this year's Acacia Mid-Western Regional Conference, on August 25th through August 28th. The program provoked much serious thought and discussion on fraternity aims and policies, as well as providing time to share some good Acacia fellowship. The chapters present agreed that the conference was an excellent experience for all who took part.

Registration took place on Sunday and a reception was held that evening in the Illinois Chapter house.

The serious business of the conference got under way the following morning in the air-conditioned auditorium of the University's new law building. Welcoming speeches were given by two Illinois alumni, Dr. Clinton Spivey on behalf of the Illinois Chapter, and Prof. Haldane Bean on behalf of the University. They were followed by Roy Clark who gave the keynote address.

Roy's topic was "The Challenge of Fraternity Membership Today," and he did a very fine job of setting the tenor of the conference.

RUSSELL N. SULLIVAN NEW ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF LAW DEAN

Russell N. Sullivan, Norhwestern '29, Professor of Law at the University of Illinois since 1939, assumed his duties as Dean of the University of Illinois CoUege of Law on September the 1st. The University of Illinois Board of Trustees approved the recommendation of President David B. Henry to name Professor Sullivan to the Deanship. The appointment was also unanimously recommended by a committee of the faculty appointed in June, 1956, to make recommendations concerning the Deanship.

Brother Sullivan succeeds Dean Albert J. Harno, who served on the Illinois law faculty for thirty-six years, thirty-five of which as Dean.

Born in Corning, Ohio, on April 5, 1901, Brother Sullivan attended elementary school and high school at Bucyrus, Ohio, and went to Oberlin College where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1925. He served as a physical education instructor at Northwestern University 1927 to 1931, received his LL.B. degree in 1937 from the University of Illinois and his LL.M. degree in 1938 from Columbia University. He served as assistant professor of law at the University of Louis, ville in 1938 and 1939 and joined the Illinois University faculty in the fall of 1939. In 1945 he was appointed an Associated Professor and in 1947 he received his full i Professorship.

He is a member of the Ohio bar, having been admitted in 1937, and was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1947. He is legal advisor to the University Civil Service System of Illinois, and served as acting advisor to the I ~UTUMN,

1957

9

Section of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar of the American Bar Association from 1942-1945.

He has served as visiting professor at many institutions throughout the country. He was a visiting professor of Ohio State University in 1942, in 1946 at Hastrugs College of Law, San Francisco, at Western Reserve University in 1947 and at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, in 1952.

His memberships include Order of Coif, The American Judicature Society, The American Law Institute, The American Bar Association and the Illinois State Bar Association.

He has been the author of numerous articles and papapers especially in the fields of administrative law and labor law which are the fields in which Porfessor Sullivan specializes.

Prior to his being named Dean Brother Sullivan was Chairman of the Committee tor the new $2,000,000.00 Law Building and was Chairman of the Dedicatory ceremonies which brought outstanding men of the legal profession to the Illinois campus last spring. The principal speaker at the dedication ceremonies was the Honorable Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Professor Sullivan joined Acacia while serving on the Northwestern faculty and was initiated on April 7, 1929. He was a member of the Corporation Board of Directors of the Illinois Alumni Chapter from 1951 to 1953. Dean and Mrs. Sullivan presently live in Urbana, Illinois, and have two daughters, Margo, 19, a sophomore at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, a member of Phi Beta Phi and Ann, 16, a junior in high school at Gulf Park Junio-r College, Gulf Park, Mississippi. Mrs. Sullivan is a graduate of the Oberlin, Ohio Conservatory of Music and widely known in musical circles. She formerly taught on the University of Illinois School of Music faculty and her specialty is the cello and piano.

Brother Sullivan's appointment as a Professor of Law is on indefinite tenure and as Dean of the College of Law for two years. The Deanship appointment is in keeping with such appointments.

Illinois' beautiful new Law Building. The section on the left houses all of the various classrooms plus a modern up to date Court Room and Auditorium with a seating capacity of three hundred and fifty and a beautiful student lounge. The unit on the right houses the library, the administrative offices. seminar rooms and faculty offices.

YARBOROUGH IS ACACIA'S NEWES Judge Ralph Yarborough, an alumnus of the Texas Chapter of Acacia, was elected by an overwhelming majority to a seat in the United States Senate at a special election held in the State of Texas. Yarborough is a unique phenomenon in Texas politics: A candidate who grew in stature through three successive statewide campaigns increasing his support and vote at each election. His election to the Senate culminated years of hard work for the man who was known as "The Democrat with the Largest Following any Unsuccessful Candidate ever had in Texas." Brother Yarborough gained the above title during previous campaigns in 1952, '54 and '56 when he polled 488,000 votes, 683,000 votes, and 695,000 votes, respectively, but was unsuccessful in each of these previous attempts for public office.

The new Senator has always been known as an eager, earnest, tireless, hand shaking, old time political campaigner. He has always run his own campaigns and has never hired high pressure hucksters to direct a campaign for him. He believes the way a campaign should be run is for the candidate himself to go out and see the people--and be seen by them, and not cast in a play-actor's role and shepherded by publicity agents to make sure he doesn't do anything out of his assigned character like a movie starlet on a public appearance tour.

Brother Yarborough was born June 8, 1903 at Chandler, Texas, and was the seventh of eleven children.

His father, Charles Yarborough, was a Justice of the Peace in Chandler and wanted all his sons to be lawyers. (They are.) Ralph took his elementary and secondary school in Chandler and finished Chandler high school in April of 1918. Next year he was a cadet at West Point through a Congressional appointment, but after one year at the Fort-an-the-Hudson he decided to abandon the Army as a career. At age 18 he worked his way across the Atlantic on a French cattle boat out of New Orleans and then went on to Berlin. He was broke upon his arrival in the German capital but sent a letter to a newspaper enclosing a want ad. The ad never appeared as the editor was also manager of the American Chamber of Commerce and liked the letter so much he hired Ralph himself. He later returned to the United States and in 1923 he joined a threshing crew working across Oklahoma and Kansas. His earnings as a harvest hand paid his tuition and expenses during his first year of law school at the University of Texas and he helped build oil tanks in the oil boom of 1926 to earn money to complete his law degree.

When Brother Yarbrough began practicing law he decided that he could get a better foothold as a lawyer

if he ran for County Attorney. At the same time he was contemplating marriage with his high school sweetheart, Miss Opal Warren, however, Opal nixed his political ambitions at that time telling him that if he ran for public office the wedding is off. She told Ralph, "I won't marry a man in politics," and scared him so bad he dropped the whole subject for ten years. After this, he married her, and he began to practice law with a large firm and earnestly devoted his time to the law.

In 1931 the Attorney General of Texas, James V. Allred, appointed Ralph as an Assistant Attorney General representing the permanent school in the University of Texas permanent fund. He won $1,083,500 for the permanent school fund in the Mid-Continent case ¡ (second largest judgment ever recovered for Texas). He also established the state's interest in oil and gas income from 3,900,000 acres of land in a suit involving Magnolia Petroleum Company. He wrote an opinion asserting the state's title to tidelands oil and gas and advising the loan commissioner to issue leases on it (which was acted on) thus pioneering for Texas school funds.

When Allred left the Attorney General's office for the Governorship Yarborough opened law offices in Austin and was appointed lecturer on land law at the University Law School.

In 1936 Brother Yarbrough was again called back into the public service when Allred appointed him Judge of the 53rd District Court in which post his knowledge of law and humanity won him almost effortless re-elections and wide recognition. Three of his five years on the bench he was presiding Judge of the Third Judicial District embracing thirty-three counties in central Texas. In 1938 he took a brief leave of absence from the bench to run for Attorney General. It was his first state-wide campaign and he lost, but the campaign gave him a state-wide reputation and won him many new friends.

Shortly after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor Brother Yarborough was commissioned a Captain in the United States Army and sent to Washington, D. C. He was later transferred to combat service and served overseas with the 97th Division which was a part of Patton's Third Army. Upon his separation from the military service at the end of the war Ralph Yarborough held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Returning to civilian life he again returned to the practice of law and in 1952 he decided to run for Attorney General when he was told long before the election that the next candidate for Attorney General had already been selected. He then decided that a small conspiracy of men were presuming to select the man

as well as decide the policies of Texas govemment long in advance of the people's knowledge. Well knowing of the hard fight he would have to buck this Texas political machine Ralph Yarborough decided he would still put forth a good fight.

He returned home and announced immediately, not for Attorney General but for Governor. "If I'm going to fight an organized machine, a conspiracy against democracy-which is the people deciding-then I might as well buck the lead dog." He made an exceptionally strong campaign and received 488,305 votes. He and his opponents were both surprised since the vote was bigger than either expected. As soon as the 1952 results were in Brother Yarborough began campaigning for the 1954 campaign. In 1952 he had fought a holding action but in 1954 he was fighting to win. He had more 4UTUMN, 1957

support than ever before and although he again lost the election, he polled 683,132 votes.

Again he ran for the Governorship in 1956 and polled 694,578 votes and missed being elected the Governor of Texas by only 3,000 votes.

When the Stenatorial opening came in 1957 Ralph Yarborough knew that here was the time. Through many years of hard campaigning he had steadily built up larger and larger following as the years went by.

Northwestern University is situated just north of Chicago, on the shore of beautiful Lake Michigan. Picture the city of Evanston, Illinois, with its modern stores and businesses and its many old mansions and homes. This is the wealthy suburban atmosphere in Which Northwestem University is located.

The campus is a heavily wooded area about one mile long and two blocks wide along the shore of Lake Michigan. The buildings present a variety of appearances both in architecture and construction materials.

The oldest building at Northwestern is "Old College," a frame structure built in 1855 which now houses the School of Education. The newest structure is "Kresge Centennial Hall," a Lannon stone structure built in 1951 from the generous donations of the Kresge Foundation. Deering Library, a favorite place to study, contains over one million three hundred thousand volumes, one of the largest libraries in the country. The most outstanding building on campus, however, is the Technological Institute, built in 1941 at a cost of over thirtynine million dollars. This building is thought to be one of the best equipped engineering schools in the world.

Northwestern celebrated its one hundredth birthday in 1951. The charter was issued on January 28, 1851, and on that day the school's legal existence was assured. The ordinance of 1787 had declared that "Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall be forever encouraged."

There was a definite need for a school in the northern part of the state of Illinois. The only higher educa-

tion in Illinois in 1850 was a few denominational colleges for "down state" students. The "University for the Northwest" was established under the patronage of the Methodist Episcopal Church to help fulfill this need for education.

Dr. Clark Titus Hinman was the first president of Northwestern University, but he died after serving one year (1853-1854). The vacancy was filled by Dr. Randolph Sink Foster in 1856, and he served until 1860.

Under these two great leaders the University established the very high moral and scholastic standards which still prevail today. ¡ Northwestern is not a state supported school and is the only private school in the "Big Ten." It is also the smallest school in the "Big Ten," having an undergraduate enrollment of just over six thousand students on the Evanston campus. The University is divided into seven separate colleges, including the schools of Speech, Music, Technology, Business, Education, Journalism, and Liberal Arts.

Northwestern is divided into two campuses, the Evanston campus, and the Chicago campus which is located only five minutes from the famed Chicago "Loop." Situated on the Chicago campus are the eighteen story Montgomery Ward Building, which houses the medical and dental school and which was the first

college skyscraper. Abbot Hall built in 1938 was the first skyscraper built for a college dormitory. The professional schools, including the schools of Law and Business, together with the well-known Evening and Graduate Division, comprise the remainder of the Chicago campus. Total enrollment of the Chicago campus exceeds thirteen thousand.

The quarter system has been adopted at Northwestern and each new quarter initiates a change in interests and activities. Northwestern's beautiful site on Lake Michigan has both its advantages, as well as its disadvantages. The students enjoy ice skating and skiing during the winter quarter in the surrounding area. And, of course, basketball is a favorite winter sport which Northwestern students support enthusiastically. But with winter come the icy winds off frozen Lake Michigan which make the ten-minute walks between classes a perilous adventure.

Spring is the most beautiful quarter at Northwestern.

When the leaves and grass turn to green the whole campus springs to life. Tennis, golf, and baseball hold the interest of most of the Wildcats. Of course, the summer is devoted to swimming in Lake Michigan. In the summer the beaches are used by the residents of Evanston, as well as the students. The beach is the scene of many blanket parties and sorority-fraternity exchanges. Chicago is only five minutes away by car, and it presents an endless variety of entertainment for anyone who wants to take advantage of it.

THE TRIAD

With spring the most extravagant collegiate theatrical production in the country appears on the Northwestern campus. The famed Northwestern Waa-Mu show is presented in Cahn Auditorium. This show began in 1929 when the Women's Athletic Association and the Men's Union presented their first combined musical production. This show plays to its sellout crowds for its week run for which tickets are sold at a premium. All script, music, acting, and staging is done

by Northwestern students. The preparation for this extravaganza is planned ten months in advance of the performance.

Fall quarter is the best quarter for parties and social affairs. The football season brings as many as fifty thousand people to Dyche Stadium on Saturday afternoons to watch "Big Ten" football at its best.

All in all, Northwestern, though emphasizing scholastic achievement, offers a wide variety of activities to the student who wants to broaden himself mentally, physically, and socially to better face the world when he graduates.

Acacia was first established at Northwestern University on March 5, 1910, when a charter was granted to fourteen men, all students in the professional schools on the Chicago campus. The designation of the chapter was "Aleph-Beth," which was in keeping with chap-

ICme and dentistry. Among these were Dr. Abram Winegardner Harris, President of Northwestern University and father of Northwestern's famed quadrangle housing plans for students, and Alfred W. Bays, still a trustee of Northwestern University.

The present chapter came into existence on May 12, 1921, when the charter of the original chapter was restored to a group of 30 men, members of a local fraternity known as the Northwestern Masonic Fraternity.

This local group was an outgrowth of a Masonic Club which sprang up on the campus shortly after World War I and was composed largely of veterans of that war. In the fall of 1919 a residence at 2031 Sherman A venue was leased and later in the year an adjoining house was acquired to provide additional living quarters and dining facilities.

The path of the petitioning group was not an easy one and there was much opposition in high places. The National Officers, in view of the previous failure took a dim view of both the group and Northwestern as a field for expansion. Many tests were imposed, the first of which was locating the charter of the original group which had been lost. However, the young local soon found friends and sponsors. L. A. Bain, charter member, was strongly behind the group from the start and enlisted the support of the Chicago Alumni Association of

ter nomenclature at the time. While the outlook appeared bright on the surface for the group at this time, the chapter passed out of existence in less than three years for reasons which are obvious now. In retrospect, it is difficult to understand why the chapter was granted since it is the sole example of chartering a group composed entirely of graduate students on a professional campus.

Being graduate students, a large number graduated in the spring following installation. The chapter did not have a house and it was the only social fraternity on the campus. All these were contributing factors to the early-demise of the chapter. Notwithstanding the handicaps, a total of 61 men were initiated, many of them to become well known in their professions of law, medAUTUMN, 1957

Acacia and the Chicago Chapter. Northwestern Registrar, Fred L. Kerr, member of the local, was also very active and helpful in guiding the program.

As a final test and a further guaranty of permanence, the National Council required that the local should purchase a permanent chapter house. This was no small test for a group of boys, many of whom were working their way through school; plus a severe shortage of houses. Finally a house was located at 630 University Place, which was then being operated as a women's dormitory. At this point the University entered an objection to the purchase because of the tight situation existing for women's housing. However, President Walter Dill Scott, after meeting with the members of the local, graciously withdrew university opposition and all 15

that remained was raising the necessary $3,000.00 as a down payment of the purchase price of $20,000.00. This was accomplished by 30 members contributing $100.00 each and thus the last hurdle imposed was removed.

Installation ceremonies were held at the North Shore Hotel with the Chicago Chapter in charge. All members of the National Council were present as well as the largest gathering of Acacians for such an event up to that time.

A new chapter prospered and then declined until the membership base was broadened, although like all the then off-campus houses, it did not prosper to the degree that those having campus housing. This situation was remedied when the house at 630 University Place was sold to Northwestern University and Acacia moved into its present home at Lincoln and the Lake. This was done in 1938 when the University built a quadrangle for five fraternities. The cost of the present structure was $40,000.00 and it accommodates 25 men.

The accommodations, while modern, are woefully inadequate for needs of the present chapter of 66 men.

It is hoped that this situation may be remedied in the near future.

At present, the Chapter roll stands at 573. The 1957 chapter of Acacia Fraternity at Northwestern Univer-

THE PRESIDENT SAYS: A college education may begin in the classroom but it does not end there. Campus life is both a learning and a living experience, and the two are inseparably related. The record of the Northwestern University chapter of Acacia fraternity attests to the fact that it members understand this.

The scholastic record of the Chapter is consistently above the all-men's average and the Chapter usually ranks in the top four or five of the 28 fraternities on the campus. Year in and year out it regularly has among its members outstanding scholars and student leaders. This year, for example, two of the four recipients of the national Lockheed scholarships on the Northwestern campus are members of Acacia.

I am happy to have this opportunity to commend the Chapter for this fine showing and for the excellence of its contributions to many other aspects of campus life. This may be summed up by saying the members are good campus citizens, the kind of young men who are a credit to Acacia and to the University.

Acacia also has a varied social program under Stu Fleming. In addition to parties, exchanges, date nights, and open houses, two formals will be held this year, one in the Winter, and one in the Spring.

At the beginning of each quarter, the chapter officers have a retreat. This is held at the house of one of the brothers in the Chicago area, and new ideas for the betterment of the chapter are discussed.

In its comparatively short existence Northwestern Chapter has attracted many prominent and successful members. Among them are Francis H. Case, Senator from South Dakota, his brother, Leland F.

THE DEAN SAYS: Northwestern has long been proud of its fraternities and recognizes them as an integral part of the University's plan of group living. Although a few have been here for nearly a century, Acacia, among the younger generation, is already thirtysix years old at NU. In that time Acacia has won the respect and high regard of the other fraternities ; has maintained a consistently high academic average ; and had its share of campus leaders in every facet of the University's life. We are particularly proud of the many alumni who¡ have maintained close ties to Alma Mater and Acacia.

They have contributed time, effort and money to the support of both. Evidence for this is their well appointed house in the fraternity quadrangel, free of debt, beautifully furnished and maintained with pride. Northwestern considers Acacia a distinct asset in the university community.

When at the end of the present day patter.

As has been suggested above the book is written as one who has participated in the events portrayed observed them.

It is written, as all such volumes should be written, in the first person singular.

I personally have no patience with the editorial "we," and "us" and "our" nor with passive voice constructions like "it has been asserted" behind which, in assumed modesty, many write as though afraid of speaking their own minds. The use of the first personal pronoun gives authority and lends credence to any narrative.

Here are to be found, often in only a word or two, personal reminiscences and criticisms of American Governors from a "brief and explosive" experience with Governor General James F. Smith through those with W. Cameron Forbes "the Bostonian grandson of Ralph Waldo Emerson, of the blue-blooded cult of the Lowells and the Lodges" and Francis Burton Harrison. Following Harrison was General Leonard Wood, of Cuban fame, Henry L. Stimson, later U. S. Secretary of State, and Dwight F . Davis, known by many as the donor of the Davis Cup, Tennis Trophy. Of those of whom Malcolm retains "fond recollections" was Young Teddy Roosevelt, who was next to the last of the Govenors General. To him Justice Malcolm pays particular tribute for at Malcolm's wedding young Teddy gave the bride away and at the wedding breakfast regaled the group with an anecdote about his father. The former president, he said, "disliked attending funerals and weddings, because at a funeral he could not be the corpse, and at a wedding he could not be the groom."

For High Commissioner Paul V. MeN utt he has high praise as for Frank Murphy whom he characterizes as the official who "implemented the policy of preparing the Philippines for self-government in a deliberate and conscientious manner."

There is also a glowing tribute to General MacArthur and his wife Jean as well as a deserved accolade for General (then a colonel) Eisenhower who at that time served as Aide to MacArthur.

Of Aguinaldo, he tells us that "time and again ... I was guest in the Aguinaldo home at Kawit. By Filipino cus-

tom, I even belong to the family, because the General's granddaughter Amcurfina is my godchild." After this statement there follows a tribute to the General who, as Malcolm puts it, was "for the first time, a Filipino (who) succeeded in producing cohesion in the Philippines."

Succeeding pages recount Justice Malcolm's experience with the leaders and the Presidents of the various Filipino governments, many of whom had been law students who studied under him. There are sketches, comments, and anecdotes of experiences with Queson, Osmeiia, Roxas, Quirino, and Laurel.

There is also an account of the constitutional convention of 1934-35 together with some criticism of the product of the convention and the amendments later made to the document.

Halfway through the volume, Mr. Justice Malcolm discusses briefly his Supreme Court experiences which lasted from his appointment in 1917 by President Wilson to 1935 when he resigned to become an assistant to the High Commissioner. After his "reiterated resignation" to the court, he tells of his court record as written by Chief Justice Avancema. In this letter, after reciting the many duties he had performed the Chief Justice noted that Mr. Justice Malcolm, "Besides having performed various official duties, ... has prepared 3,340 opinions for the Court."

There is also rather lengthy section on Romulo of whom he thinks highly although he had no official connection with him. Other sections deal with many prominent and not so prominent Filipinos whom he knew only at a distance. Then, topping it all off is a 'chapter dealing with Philippine culture in its various phases as he witnessed it and appraised it.

Malcolm's final phase as a careerist was in Porto Rico where he went on the appointment of President F. D. Roosevelt in 1940 as the Attorney General.

This position he held for a half dozen years. Like the other sections, this one i:leals principally with the persons he met and worked with in the island.

There is some criticism of the unsavory conditions he found there and a tenel.ency to make comparisons, not altogether favorable to Porto Rico, with those with which he was mo•r e intiT)l.ately connected in the Pacific.

Taken as a whole the volume is interesting and instructive for the light it throws on the persons and events that to many of us are merely names or dates. I would not be fair, however, if I did not make one observation. I realize !P.at it is the intention of the author to tell of his on-the-spot observations of the people that were a part of the movement to prepare the Philippines for independence. In that respect each item ~UTUMN,

and every profile is a footnote to the history of the islands. For the person who knows but a smattering of that history, however, the book often leaves him guessing at the connection between the persons and the events. It also at times gets him mixed up in the chronology of events that to the author are perfectly obvious. In other words a bit more detail here and there and some connective tissue now and then would help the novice in Pacific history to appreciate the worth of the book that has so many things to commend it.

My apologies therefore are due for these observations only because of the very desirable brevity at times seem to cloud the clarity that is sought.

LELAND CASE, NORTHWESTERN, IS CO-EDITOR OF NEW BOOK

Reviewed by Geo1·ge Leighty, S pecial Feature Write1·, Alton Evening Telegraph Editing the Day's News, by George C. Bastian, Leland D. Case and Floyd K. Baskette. Fourth Edition, publish ed

by Macmillan Co., N.Y. This common sense textbook on the art of newspaper copyediting, make - up, layout and head writing, published in its present form during 1956, gets down to business with such firm finesse that its circulation will doubtless continue to be largely restricted to classrooms and newspaper offices. This in face of the fact that it it not at all dry reading, though of a high degree of technical excellence. The writers deal with the handling of the day's news once it has been put in some sort of written form by reporters, rewrite men, hopeful public relations firms, string correspondents, individuals with or without axes to grind-all the vast assortment of sources which contribute to a newspaper's content. This book is not whimsy of the "City Editor" variety in which the frantic straw boss bullies and b ellows his serfs, the reporters, all vagabonds and knaves, into exposing the mayor's secret love life so his own brother-in-law can get a contract to erect a new city hall. It is the calm delineation of the precisjon task of the quiet and often scholarly men and women who daily strive to make newspapers informative and readable. They adhere to a lofty set of ideals.

It is unfortunate that such a volume as this cannot be ~iven general circulation : it could be invaluable to a lawyer, an accountant and pen·ons in many 20

other professions and fields who make news and, in some ways, occasionally see in their failure to do so an economic or professional deficiency. The present complex American scene is so designed that "publicity" or mention in an advantageous manner in the public press brings a distinct advantage to many classes of people. For this reason, weary copyeditors would be most appreciative if such a book as this could be made required reading for all chairmen of publicity committees, be they representatives of lodges, fraternal organizations, veterans' groups or Bible classes. The content of the book at least would enable pressure groups to understand why newspaper people are unable to turn cartwheels of joy at the prospect of publishing a hanQ.- out from national headquarters and it would help the same gentry more readily recognize in their own organizations the happenings and events which are genuinely news worthy or adaptable to feature treatment.

JOSEPH R. WILSON

Joseph Robert Wilson, Franklin, Past National President of the Acacia Fraternity died on February 1, 1957, at the age of 91. Brother Wilson was a well known Philadelphia lawyer for over 50 years and was author of the book "A Chapel in Ev.e ry Home" and founder of the World Movement for a Meditation Chapel in Man's Home Wherever It Is, Be It House, Apartment, Hotel or Ocean Linecr. His book and its message was endorsed by religious leaders of the Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant faiths throughout the world including the House of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States.

PENN STATE With drums and "human calliope," Clarence William Dennis of Plymouth, Pa., is the newest member of the Fall Pledge Class.

Tom Cox, traveling secretary, ventured with us on a toilsome journey and saw the following initiated into our chapter: John Upton Bowman, Lauren Boger Meiswinkel, Thaddeus Stevens Merriman, III, LaVerne Wayne Myers, Joseph Donald Patton, Jr., Terry Alan Ritter, and William Evan Roberts.

On campus our chapter took prizewinning places in both the Ugly Man contest and the Homecoming displaythe only fraternity at Penn State to place in both.

Our social program has continued on the upswing. We started off the semester with a Fall outing at nearby Black Moshannon Park. Brothers Dick Hegarty and Wally "Balou" Hodge were the only ones to find the chilly waters inviting.

Junior Prom weekend once again ·found us on our annual hayride. Although somewhat dampened by rain, we all had a spirited song fest around a blazing bon-fire, climaxing an unforgettable evening.

A roller skating party was on the agenda of a recent weekend. Everyone enjoyed the "Whirl on the Wood," but hardly anyone left without at least once mopping up the floor. Brother Roy Rossman, a beginner at the art of skating, was one of the few to remain upri?ht-vvith the assistance of a railing.

Also a scavenger hunt provided much fun in looking for such items as: a football cleat mark in the sod, a woman's garter, teletype news, etc. The winning team consisted of Bob Falzone and Sheila Williams; Jack Bowman and Margie Moorhead; Bob Ritchey and Fran Keitz.

Recently, we have had mixers with the sorority women of Zeta Tau Alpha and Phi Mu. Al Jones directed a short, hilarious skit including pledges: Bob Ritchey, Clancy Dennis, Everett Barber, and Bob Bastian.

The chapter choir has recently given

serenades in honor of the following pinnings: Al Jones to Barbara Grest; Tom Williams to Jan Bargerstock; Joe Patton to Mary Ann Swager; and Wally Hodge to Penny Maple.

During the initiation period, our chapter was honored with a timely visit

by Brother William E. Krieger, National President.

Since Brother Clain Johnson has fallen victim to Cupid's arrow in marriage, brother John Chapman has taken the reigns of Senior Dean.

The chapter has established scholarship plaques to be awarded in the following manner: To the brother receiving the highest semester average; to the pledge receiving the highest semester average; and to the brother or pledge making the best scholastic improvement. This semester brother Bob Shaw received the highest semester average.

Pledge Joe P atton received the highest pledge average, and made the most scholastic improvement. Also each room has a graph on which is the current running average of the members of

the room. This gives a competitive spirit to improve house scholarship.

Under the direction of brother Juri Niiler, the chapter has designed and compiled a new rushing pamphlet which tells about: the purpose and deeper meaning of Acacia Fraternity; the National Fraternity organization; the local chapter and what it offers in the line of scholarship, social activities, and athletic activities; and the prerequisites for becoming a member.

The chapter as a group has decided to start a tradition of going once a month to different Sunday church services.

Oliver Smith, Penn State, '39, is the set designer and director for the American Ballet Theatre. He has designed sets fo-r "My Fair Lady," "Jamaica," and "Time Remembered."

Dr. Myer also introduced several superior strains of rhubarb and developed improved types of peppers. H e also made notable contributions to methods of b reeding peppers and other vegetables.

In addition to his extensive research , Dr. Myers was well-known among students for his unique teaching methods.

He taught plant genetics through draw-

ing comparisons with human beings and is reported to have never proctored an examination, believing that students, like vegetables, are inherently good if properly raised.

Brother Myers was a member of Alpha Zeta, p r ofessional agricultural fraternity; Gamma Sigma Delta, agricultural honor society; Society of the Sigma Xi, scentific society; the American Genetics Association; Society for Horticultural Science ; and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was a Mason and a member of the Society of F riends.

5. Beginning of sophomore year. , Don't misunderstand us-we don t dispute the institutions' right to call the signals. But if the fraternities themselves are still allowed to make the rules at your school, investigate thoroughly the opinion of the national officers of the fraternities on your campus.

They know "fraternity theory" better than the bonehead from the "Tri Kap" house who suggests a new deferred system because "they use it at Siwash where his brother goes"; or the assistant dean who wants to· impress his boss of his ability to "guide" you; or the faculty adviser (who can't recognize a mathematical identity from a formula) and wants to "wait till the first semester grades are out so we can see who will be good men" and thus raise the fraternity men's average.

The beneficial influence of a good fraternity chapter- the feeling of belonging- the help of upperclassmenthe advantage of a home away from home-are all needed most the first semester in college.

If fraternities are "good,'' they are "good" all the time.
