THE ACACIA JOURNAL.

I S our to the world. It is also the forum for the discussion o f our problems. Let us as chapters and individuals see to it that the J ouRNAL continues to k ee p step with the onward march of the Fraternity ; that it truly r epre se nt s the ideals and aspiration s , as well as, the actual acco mpli shment s of the individual chapter s; that within its co lumn s every broth e r ma y expre ss hi s opinions upon the work of the Fraternity; and that the s um of it all shall be to make us know one another better and appreciate our fellowsh ip more.

Th e editors have cl one their b es t and we h ope their work will meet with app r ova l. Most of th em have been prompt and the chapter letter s show their desire to make th e Jou RNAL worth while . 'vVe take thi s opportunity to thank th em for their -co - opera tion and s upp o rt , and beli eve that through th eir united efforts, the F raternity is t o have th e b es t JO URNAL to date.

THE DIR EC TORY.

It ha s be e n our desire to issue a directory for a year o r m o re and we are g lad, through the co-ope ration of the ch apte r e ditor s, to accomplish this task The chapter editors have well and we hav e tried to clas s if y their work and arrange the materia l so that the director y w o uld be serviceable. Vve have compared o ur r eco rd s and gone ove r eve ry name in the h ope of m a kin g it accurate. W e have realized that an inaccurate and illa rran ged directory would b e of n o u se and a waste o f effo rt. 'vVe tru s t that o ur effo rt s hav e r es ult ed in sa ti sfy in g th e wants o f the br oth ers.

There will be mistakes, no doubt, and this offic e s h o uld be g lad to h ea r from any brother pointing out th e error. You will not e a lso that th ose who do n o t hav e membership r eco rd s on fil e are n ot ified of the fac t b y an asterisk pr ece din g the nam e. In some- cases we hav e been unabl e to ge t the add r ess. \N e trust that any o n e whose re cord is n ot o n fil e or whose address h as n ot been g iv e n w ill write thi s office .

PROGRESS .

\Ale ope n ed th e edito rial co lu mn of th e Jovember JOURNAL with an expression of h ope that the yea r was t o b e o n e of pr og r ess. We beli eve that t h e year's work w ill s h ow that there h as been a r ea li za ti on o f that hop e . In th e g r ow th o f membership th ere ha s bee n marked advancement, and this too wit h out any sac rifi ce of the quality of membership . Everyw h ere our members are t a kin g hi g h rank sc h o las ticall y, and th e positions of honor held by our members in th e st ud en t bo dy sh ows th ey are h eld in high es te em by th e ir fellow s tud ents . There i s a g r ow in g sp irit of proper pride in our chap t er s in the Fraternity. The men are proud of their Fraternity. The y app r ec iate its oppo rtunit y for service and its purpose. V.l e may co nfidentl y expect a s till g r eate r g r owt h of F rat e rnit y spirit. A sp irit not of caste but of democracy, a sp irit which r ecog ni zes th e tru e worth of the in div idual measured by accomp li s hm e nt , se rvic e, and character; a spirit born o f th e conv icti o n that o ur Fraternity co nt a in s s uch m e n. and s uch a sp irit sh o uld g r ow among u s. Let us do n othing as individuals o r chapters t o impair the pride we tak e in th e Fraternity, o r to hind er it s future g r ow th .

Three new c hapt er hav e been added to th e r oll. Tav at re on promise s _ to be one of the tr o ng chapter of the F rat ern it y A leph-Aleph at \Va s tmgton wa in tailed by Brother He inrich o n Feb ruar y sth, and lep h -Bet h at Ko rth we te rn wa in tailed on larch 5th. The e n ,,. c hap ter s are added link in the chain of chapters and will add materially to o ur strength. Seve ral petitions are in the cour e of preparation and i f they s h ould be ubm itted this yea r the chapters s h o uld act promptly, favorably or unfavorably , . o that those chapter admitted may get fairly tarted before the clo s e of the yea r. v e may s ay for the work o f thi s office that it ha s been most ati fac t or y. The s ercetarie h ave been pr ompt in nearl y eve r y ca e. O ur lette r s t o man y of the s ecretarie s is to the effect that yo ur work is in fine hap e and we have no s ugge s tion to make. The work of ome of th e sec retari e ha been little le ss than remarkable. Brother Duxbury of Teth ha advanced the work o abl · beg un la s t ye ar b y Brothe r Dewey . Daleth C hapt er ha in the per on of 13 r ot her V illars one of the bes t chapter ecretarie in the Frate rnit y. There are a number of th e ot h er sec retarie s who are d o in g work whic h le erves commendat io n , espe ciall y B r o th e r Longenecker of vVaw hapter. lf we are pr o ud o f n o thin g el e we are pr o ud of o ur progress in keeping cl ose to the chapters and their work. It ha h e lp ed u s and we trust h as been of benefit to them .

T h e wo rk o n th e members hi p rec o rd ha s co ntinued t o cut down the numb er of mi s s in g membership record s. Th e r e are o m e mi s in g ye t as y o u will . ec from the directory, We h o pe that a number of rec o rd s will be s ent in before the clo s e of the yea r . O ur chapters are in ge neral attending to their clue s a nd f ees prom ptly. We s ubmit that an examination of the wo rk done during th e yea r will ati s fy the mo s t keptical. There ha s b ee n progres s .

LOOKING FORWARD.

In a few more weeks we will be in Jun e and o me o f the brothers will be o ff f o r t h eir vaca ti o n. Fo r some it will be a r o und of plea s ur e and r ec r eation, to ot h ers il will be a time of hu s tlin g to get the wherewithal to r e turn to co ll ege next yea r . We tru s t that all will hav e a pleasant vacation; that t h ose w h o are out for r es t and recreati on ma y find it and that th e man who hustles may s ucceed in ga thering in e n o u g h s heck e l t o tid e him ove r ne x t vear.

• T h en from all the chapters there will be the brot h e r. w h o are go in g {)Ut to comme n ce. We are s ure 'the y will succeed . T h ey are good m e n a n I true or th y wo uld n o t hav e come thu s far on th e r oad and we confidently expect them to be men of worth in whatever walk of life the y cast their lot. Vi/ e wis h th m well. Their chapter will miss their presence and coun s el. It i s to be h oped that in these remainin g days of the year that t h e o lder men will ee to it that , in so far as they can, the affairs of the -c h apter are adjusted for s mo o th sailing next ye ar.

We trust that vacation days will close and find the men who are r etu rnin O' to the c hapt e r re olved t o make another yea r o f progre ss We l1 ope that the brothers who are go in g out will n o t lose in the Frat e rnit y. Keep in t o uch with yo ur chap t e r. Let th e Fraternity h ea r from yo n thr o ugh the Jo u R AL.

ACACIA JOURNAL.

THE OF FICERS.

We shall soo n have new officers in the chapters. The retiring officers should see to it that the incoming officers are starte·d right. Do not drop everything, but take a little time to help your successor so he may av?id yo ur failures and mi stakes. To the new officers, especially the s ec:etanes, we would suggest that they give attention to our laws and also get 111 touch with this office befor e the close of the year.

THE NExT CoNCLAVE.

Grand President Wilson has notified thi s office that the next Grand Conclave will be he ld at Columbia, Missouri. , We trust that every chapter will be represented in the conclave. There are a number of important matters to come up for consideration . The ritual should be in shape to pas s upon finally at th<J.t time if not before. Delegates should be cho se n and the men elected should make preparation for the work of the conclave. The time for the meeting of the conclave is short and plans have to be worked out beforehand in order to accomplish the most.

Blanks from this office will be sent to the chapter secretaries and these should be returned before the clo se of the year filled out. The brothers at Mem Chapter are planing to show the visitors an enjoyable time. We are sure that the delegate who is fortunate enough to attend will not soon forget the Conclave of 1910.

FINANCE.

This i s not a discussion on high finance, a much di s cussed subject at this time. It i s rather a plain talk to the chapters which should be made. Our financial obligations have been met promptly during the year. This has been due to the fact that the chapters as a rule paid their clues and fees on time . All debts have been paid and our balance shows up very favorably . The general expenses of the Fraternity will not be as high as they were last year. The Jo u RNAL account will be heavier than it was last year. The cost of the last Conclave was $1,467.59· This item s hows that conclaves are very expensive. There is no hope of reducing our expenses unless we make the period between conclaves longer. This matter should be gone over carefully. If you believe that the conclaves are worth the money they •cost, then tliere is nothing to do but to pay for them.

Of course , we know nothing of the local expenses of the chapters . They vary widely. Before the year clo ses all accounts should be closed not only with this office but with your local creditors. Of course yo'u may not be able to meet all your demand s where you have gone in debt for furniture and houses but be sure to have a settlement and know where you stand. The sure way to have credit is to know what you owe and make definite s ion for meeting it. Report yo ur active members on May 1st and make it possible for the books of this office to be written up. We are glad to report a good financial showing on the part of nearly every chapter in the Fraternity. Not a single chapter is in s traightened circumstances. This is a good showing and one in which we should take pride.

HoNOHARY .

\V e feel compelled again t o call the attention of the borther to the matter of h onorary member hip. The method provided for the election of honorary members is a impl e o n e but it s implicit y eem to baffle ome of th e officers. Tn the fir t place the chapter ballot o n the propo ed member am! if carried un an im o u sly a petition h o ulcl be prepared and ubmitted to the G rand ouncil. T hi s petition hould be in about th e followin form: "To the o un cil of th e Acac ia F raternity :

Gen tl emen :-You are h e reb y n o tifieu that at a tated meeting of .. ... . h apter, held on the .. .... cla y o f .. . ....... , 1 9 1 .. , it was unanim o u ly voted to etxend an invitation to . ...... . ... (g iv e full name) ........... . to become an h onora r y member o f thi s chapter. We re pectfully ubmit the pet iti on for your approva l. "

T h en give the position of h o n o r held in th e community b y th e propo eel member, his lodge, c hapte r , commandry, etc ., member hip and hi addre

T h i petition s h o uld b e f o rwarded t o thi s office. It will then be ubmitted to the ou n c il and their action reported t o the chapter secretary. If the Co un ci l approve the petition then the br o ther should be initiated , or if a l ready a member, he s h o uld be notifi ed and up on hi acceptance, hi s membership record s h ou ld be se nt to thi s office, and hi s name will then be entered as a member o f yo ur chapter. , In all ca ses where yo u elect a member to ho n o r ary membership yo u should provide him with a certificate of membership and the fee in thi case is one Dollar. \life have gone into this matter at length for the reason that in some cas es the honorary member a sk this office if he ha s been e lected, and he s hould know thi s from the chapter sec r etary. It a l o com plicate s the record s of thi s office for we do n o t kn ow w h ther after th e approval of the Council the member has be e n initiat ed, o r notified and accepted, as the case ma y be , and until we do know we do n o t entei· the name o n th e c hapter roll in thi s office.

MEMBERSHIP.

Reference t o the con stitution will s how that there are only thre e classes of members enume rated In making up the directory it was evident that o m e of the sec r etari es were not aware that the active , alumni and h o n o rary m e mb e r s exhau t ed the li st . It is provided that after a member has been initiated h e ma y in certain case s become an alumnu s. The con s tituti on i s n ot a clear as it might b e on who are active members but we think that the s tatu s of a member o ught not to cau se the secretarie much tr o uble. If th e member t a k es part in the active work of the chapter, h o ld s o ffic e, votes o n the questions s ubmitted to the chapter, he i s an active member and houlcl be reported as s uch On May Ist a list of the active members in each chapter sh o uld be e nt in at once. This hould be clone whether th e dues are sent o r n o t. The lis t mu s t be in so the books can be written up. Take care of thi s matter promptly and please remember that on member s initiat ed during the yea r yo u are liable for the per tax, a s it i clear int e nti o n of the constitution that a member imttated shall be active for the year h e was initiated.

ACACIA JOURNAL.

THE RITUAL.

There has been some inquiry about the ritual from time to time and our Brother Keith has spoken. The ritual-mak ing process is a slow one. We fully believe that the ritual finally s ubmitted by the committee will be one welf worth waiting for and one that we all shall take great pride in. No doubt before it ha s gone many years some enlightened brother , who has just been initiated, will propose to the Conclave that improvements should be made and the Conclave will -hasten to s how that it is open to conviction. Now we h ope that the ritual will be a good one, and when finally adopted, that we will be slow to make changes. We ought, at lea st , to give the ritual a thorough trial before we listen to any suggestion of change.

THIS OFFICE.

There will be no vacation in the work of this office . We hope that the members who do not hav e membership records on file will let us hear from them, for they may expect to hear from u s .. If there are any questions during vacation do not fail to write 'N e will attend to your letter promptly. If you pass through our city do not fail to call. We shall be glad to see you. This office is maintained for the service of the Fraternity as a whole and we are here to serve at all tin1es. So do not fail to write u s or to call.

CoNCLUSION.

The J OURNAL may not reach you until a day or so after the elate se t. This is because of the great amount of work the directory has caused us. It had to be clone carefully and we have worked night and clay to get the Jo uRNA L out on time . A few of the chapter editors were late as usual. They will b e late when Ga briel t oo t s his horn, unle ss he has a police ambulance along with him and gathers them in. We trust that the result of the work of thi s office and th e chapter editors ha s produced a Jo uRNA L which will be creditable t o the Fraternity .

A THO U GHT.

TO MY BROTHERS I N ACACIA:

A few yea r s ago as I was returning home to Philadelphia from Buffalo. the train st opped at Bethlehem, where I purchased a new spa per. On the front page, in bold type, there appeared the announcement of the dea-th of one of th e foremost capitalists in the United States, whose name was sy nonym o u s with that ·of Wall Street. U nf o rtunately, there was no honor connected with that riame in the newspaper reference, nothing but reflections , o n one who during his lif e tim e, had manipulated the market to the ruin of thou sa nd s of little s peculators and room traders, and the beggary of their families. It was a sad commentary on a man who had every opportu!1ity to prove to the world that the ten talent s were not given to him 111 vam.

As the train sta rted out of the station I glanced up at the st ar s and thought of how that cla y, thi s man had passed beyond th e Great Divide to

CHARLES ADAM DREFS, Jr., YODH.

B rother Drefs has made an enviable record, and for the benefit of the brothers we are giving a brief re s ume of his career. We should all take pride in having fell ows hip with such men. He entered Colgate University, 1906, on scho larship from Masten Park High School of Buffalo, and the following year entered the University of Pennsylvania, department of Finance, Industry, Transportation and Commerce, 1907.

He belongs to the following organizations: Acacia, Sigma Pi (Delta Chapter) ; Scalp and Blade ( 1 ational society composed of college men from Buffalo) ; New York State Club; Philomathean Literary Society; charter membe r of Patten's Economic Club; charter member of Delta Sigma Rho (Intercollegiate Debating Fraternity); Fencing C lub ; Fencing Scrub.

He ha s won the following honor s in debating and oratory: Philo, N. Carolina, Philo-Zelo, Philo- Philo lexian (twice) ; Class: Sophomore- Freshman, Coach of Senior-Juni or; Varsity; Corne ll- Pennsylvania (tw ice) . (Six victories out of eight contests). Second prize in Philomathean Society Oratorical Contest; fir st prize in Philo S. 0 . C.; rst prize in Annual Public Speaking Contest.

He ha s been elected Moderator (president) of Philoma th ean Literary Society ; Secretary of Scalp and Blade ; Secretary of Delta Sigma Rho ;

THE C CI JO U R r L.

Pr sident of Delta Sigma Rho; Trea ur e r o f cac ta ; \'ice-Pr iclent then Pre ident of Hou ton C lub and Iv y O rat o r.

Beside: attending to all the e cluti he ha ha d time to contribute to Penn (weekly new paper) and Red and Blue (mo nthl y lit era r y magazme) and one of t h e ed ito r o f th e 1910 Record and i \ aledictorian of the P hil omathean Society.

Hrot h er l e ith ha s erved the Fraternity lo ya ll y in man y ways. He wa a member of the Grand Co nclave he ld in 1908 at Champaign, Illinoi s. t th at o ncla ve h e took hi s place wit h Ward of Waw and Gordon of He , which is ufficient r eco mmendati on . He was an active and aggre ss ive memb r and s h owed that he could pi lo t the Fraternity to a better ritua l. The res ult was that h e was ch os en by the Conclave as Chairman of a Committee to revi e th e ritual. He has worked faithfully and together with the other member of the o mmittee wi11 give us a ritual satisfactory in every way, ""e are ur .

Brothe r I eit h attended the la st Conclave and as usual was the ce nt e r of attract ion. He ha tories that fit every case. Our Conclaves are of inesti m ab le value in en a bling u t o meet s uch men. B rother Keith i a fit representative of cacia anywhere and the Conclave did well in placing him in his pre ent po iti o n.

He i a married man and ha s received the d eg ree of ' ·Pa." vVe kn ow "Pa" Ke ith , as a faithful and loya l brother , and we wi h it were po sible for eve r y Acacian to meet him.

Good intentio n s are, at lea s t, the seed of good acti on s; and every man o u g ht to ow them , and leave it to th e so il a n d the season whether they come up or no, and whether he or any gat her t h e fruit.-Si? - W . T em pl e.

ARTHUR }1. KEITH, NUN.

This charming prima donna has delighted western audiences, and is soon to invade the boards of the great metropolis. Her friends are quite s ure that she is soo n to be a star of the first magnitude. Her success is assured, they feel, since Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger have become interested. The brother s are especially concerned in the career of Madam Yelba, because of her sincere friend s hip and good will. We regret that space prevents a m o re extended notice of this remarkable young lady. For further particulars writ e Bro. F. D Curtis of Tav Chapter.

AN HONORED BROTHER.

Our illu s tr o u s Brother William Homan ma y take exception to our familiar salutation, U ncle Billy. This, however, expresses the feeling of th e brothers who have met him 'vVe have in our bro therhood no more lo ya l and enthusiastic worker. It speaks well for this Fraternity to have its be st intere sts held clo se at heart by William Homan. Four chapters have been h o nored, and h on o red him b y electing him to honorary membership.

MA DA ME YE LBA.

THEA CI JO ·Rx L.

Brother lloman ha been an active ::\Ia on for twenty-two year and a review of the hon or he ha held make one wonder if he ever did anything else short acquaintance with the man will convince you that he i ne of tho. e favore I few who can do many thing well. He has not only been an active :r..f ason but he ha participated in bu ine s ucce fully, edited and published a Magazine, made valuable invention s, and till had time to <Yive in behalf of public educatio n and variou civic activitie .

We hav e not the space to give all the honor held by Brother Homan . The "Ma onic Standard" of January 29th give an entire page to a review of the work of ou r honored £rater. The occa ion of thi notice being the re s ume of "l<ifty Active Year ." The article say among othe r O'OOci thing'>: "Although I ro. lloman ha been an active and prominent figure in ew York Masonry for more than a score of yea r , his very activity has seemed to indicate yout h and energy, and he has alway been cia eel with the younger element. Endowed with ability and enthu iasm, he ha achieved a high degree of succes . Vv'ith the passing of the year there has heen no diminution of intere t, and, equipped with a varied and unu ual experience, it is probab le that B r o. Homan, at the age of fifty , sta nd on the thre . hold of a caree r of till greater ucce s and u efulne s. He has discovered the sec ret of enjoying life as he goe along, and that, with ·Bro. 1loman at lea. t, is the secret of perennial youth."

We join with all o ur brother in expres ing the h ope that many more yea r s sha ll be awarded our distinguished member. The world need men with his courage, gentle ne ss and go d cheer. They are an in piration and a so urce o { strength. They kn ow the thing worth while and kn owi n g they toil and de spair not.

He wall's alone and bids for no man's aid, He gives a lift and hand-clasp where he may, His lips ne ' er utt er curses; he asl\s not Blind Chance nor Fortune, fair, to smooth the way.

Whal of his comfort, physical-his pains? For him there is no pain, his soul fast l eads, Since trials were evH made to fright the weak, ln his strength triumph over them he reads.

What of the hiss, which Scorn to Malice bears? He hears it not , or hearing does no t care, The doubter's sneer, the narrow bigot's cry, The unrewarded work-breed not despair.

When darkly scowls the world and breathes a threat, He calm l y pushes forward, frEle from fear , Careless of wha't they a ll may say or think, Content to !mow his way from sham is c lear.

THE AC CI JOURl AL.

What task is this at which he daily strains?

Some labor that has ever crushed man's life! What load is this he bears without a sigh?

The burden dropped by thousands in the strife!

When some great truth seeks for a champion, Some mighty work pleads for a master hand, His is the voice, decisive, his the touch That shapes the crude-helps man to understand.

About his person hangs a mystic power, His eye, his voice tell of the hidd en flame Which animales and moves to things most strangeThe leaping soul which hardships n ever tame.

Is he rewarded, is he feted, praised?

Ah, no! content to see his prophecies Fulfilled, must be this worker's payThus for her truest sons the World decrees.

The greatest things, the truths that thr ill with power, Are ever those the world is slow to see, And only by the man who walks alone The race is; lifted and the soul made free.

What are his thoughts, his dreams? Ah, who shall know!

Those few who strive to follow in his way? No! they but stimulate the strange, calm force,They never !mow the sun that makes his day.

His cr itics walk in corridors that pulse

With ec hoes of the steps that now have gained Some inner· shrine, some secret place of peace, Some lofty joy by strong desire attained. Who is this traveller without sign to guide, Who asks no one to lead , who scorns to groan?

Beneath a world of storm we see him, calm,Yes, it is he-the man who walks alone.

ARTHUR L. CLARK.

He ' hapter was called upon to mourn the lo s of one of her charter member s when Brother Clark answered the last summo n s . Art hur Louis Clark wa s born in ew York C ity, April 10, r877. He prepared for college in vVashington, D . C., and e ntered Columbia University. He then went we s t for hi health and entered the University of Cal if orn ia , as a freshman in mining.

During the year 1904-5 the Square and Campa s Club was formed in which he look an active part. In the spr ing of 1905 the charter was granted and on April 15th he was initiated into the Acacia Fraternity. It wa clming the e trying time when disappointments were many and succe s doubtful that Brother C lark help ed so much with his ready wit, never-giveup spirit, and open pocket-book. He was elected trea ur er of the chapter and the delegate to the first Conclave, but wa unable to attend.

His health improved and the n ext year he entered Co lumbi a Gniver ity. much to the regret of hi s brothers at California. He did n ot forg et them, however. His health again gave way and he returned to California and opened a metalurgy office at Los Angeles. He battled cheerfully and bravely until the end came, as was fitting for a noble son of Acacia.

ACACIA .

BY PROF. J. A. ME1\1.

(Recited by him at the Annual Banquet of Mem Chapter, March 28, 1910 . )

The legends of Masonry tell us; Way back in the days of yore, That Tubal Cain was a Mason Who smelted and worked the ore, And the mighty blows of his hammer Rang the whole day long And its handle was made of Acacia, Because it is tough and strong.

And Nimrod, the mighty hunter, A brother too was he, Who slew the beasts of the forest And caught the fish in the sea. His arrows struck the Eagle At the topmost pitch of its flight. And his bow and spear were Acacia, Because it is strong and light.

And when our ancient brethren Determined to climb on high , To visit the God of Nations Who dwells beyond the sky; They builded the Tower of Babel Far reaching above the plain And they used the wood of Acacia, Because of its beautiful grain.

And when the floods descended To wash the sin from the land Our ancient brother Noah Built, by the Lord ' s command , A staunch and commodious vessel To ride through the flood and storm. And the Ark was built of Acacia, To keep them safe from harm.

And the Master of All made ·order To Israel out in his tent, To build him another Arll:, The Ark of the Covenant. As a sign of Jehovah's greatness , A reminder of human duty, And this Ark was made of Acacia , Because of its fineness and beauty.

And Solomon, building his temple, Of marvelous beauty and grace, Imported woods for his purpose From every clime and place, He brought the cedar from Lebanon And olive and palm and pine; And Acacia was used here also, Because of its texture fine.

THE ACACIA JOUR AL.

To our Lord and Master kneeling, Alone in the garden, to pray,

To ask of his Heavenly Father Strength for the coming day, Comfort and peace descended, As a message from above.

The shade of Acacia fe ll o'er h i m, As a token of b less i ng and love. And thus in the years that have vanished 'J'o memory's uttermost length

The Acacia bas been a symbo l Of Beauty and Love a n d St r e n gth. Homes from its wood have bee n builded, The weary have sought i ts shade, And objects of use and beauty Out of its wood have been made. Our ancient brethre n used it In every conceivab l e way

Anti havo handed to us the lesson That we sho ul d learn to-day, The more nob le and g lo ri o u s p ur pose

To be of use to ot h ers,

To bring he l p a n d love to a ll men, But most of a ll to o ur b r ot h e r s.

And our Acacia sh all fl o uri s h Till its shadow g r o w s so w id e It touches the Po l e an d t h e Tr op ics And stretches from tide to ti de.

HARRY S. VILLARS, DALETH.

Brother Villars is one of the best secretaries ·in the Fraternity. Vve were about to say the best, but we are reminded of the splendid work of Duxbury, Longenecker and about fifteen others, who have so loyally cooperated with us. No secretary has clone more actual work than Brother Villars. At the beginning of the year Daleth was 37 membership records short; there were no addresses of the alumni kept, and the records were in very bad shape. He has reduced the missing records until we are hopeful of having a clean sheet from Daleth; he has located all but three of the alumni; sent out several chapter letters, and compi led a complete set of chapter records which we wish could be fully explained to ·the borthers. It is a pleasure to work with such men. We sha ll count it a lways one of the blessings of our life to have known such men and labored with them. They are the sa lt of the earth. May Daleth Chapter and every othe r chapter be served by such men as officers.

The soul's clark cottage, battered and decayed, Lets in new light through chinks that time has made. Stronger by weakness, wiser men become As they draw near to their eternal home.-£. liflaller.

THE REV ISION OF THE RITUAL.

JIY \. H. KE.lTllJ MEM, CHAIRMAN lUT AL REVISION COMMITTEE.

A little over a yea r ago the revi s ion of the ritual of our Fraternity was placed in the h ands of three men, who are authorized to make s uch changes and revision · as they considered wise and essential in order that a more dignified and satisfac t o r y form for work might be had .

From the beginning the task proved a mo s t difficult one, and while assitance was so ught from the various chapters enrolled previous to the fall of 1908, there seemed to be a genera l lack of intere t in thi s most imp rtant matter which ha s re ulted, therefore , in the committee havin g to do its work practically alone.

The building of a ritual for a fraternity such as ours need s a g r eat :amount of study and thought, and the work involved i exceedingly trying. Being 1\Iasons, perhap the most difficu l t problem . i to avoid with one or mor of the numerous degree found m Masonry. In th1 respect cacia mu st always fee l that she o.wes a debt of gratitude to Brother Albert K. Wilson of Topeka, Kansas, not only because he prepared the greater part of the revised work as it when presented the conclave at Philadelphia last September, but havmg been closely a soctated for over thirty years with the r i tualistic ceremonies of the variou Ma o nic

THE ACACIA FRATERNIT Y.

Fl<Ol\1 THE TYLER KEYSTONE., i\IAR H 5, 1910.

In giv in g space in our column to the review of the February number of the JoPRNM, of the cacia Fraternity, we are prompted by two motives: ne, that the journal con tains much of interest to the Craft at large; and second, that every Iason ought to feel a per onal interest in this Fraternity. lts me111bership is comprised of Master Masons, for the most part in the formative period of life, who are finding in Acacia the connecting link between the unrealities of University atmosphere and the real world which they are soo n to enter. The value of the association in thus keepin g in mind the real issues while preserving the glamour of the ideal can scarcely be overe. timatecl. It is the master hand upon the rudder which teer the unfound craft among the shoals of temptation to the afe anchora ge of sturdy character and a purposefu l life.

The Jo uRNA L recounts much of the accomplished work of the Annual Co uncil , which was held in Philadelphia, begim1ing Sept. 15. The Council officer s are alumni member s of the s everal chapters , s uccessful men, who are well qualified by past association and present interest to fill the offices they hold . The delegates are , of course, men engagecl. at the present time in college work, th o ugh a large proportion hold from two to five college de g ree s.

Yodh Chapter and the prominent Masons of Philadelpl;ia made the occasion a memorable one for the delegates. They were entertained by G rand President Jo se ph R. Wilson, Mayor Re y burn, Brother George W E lkins , and had the pleasure of meeting Grand Master George B. Orlady, J a me s S. Benn, and other di s tingui shed Masons of Philadelphia. In all the meeting was an interesting and instructive one .

Besides th ese details of imm ed iate jnterest to Acacia,. the Jo uRNA L contains several articles of not e. The Address o f Welcome, by Dr. Edgar Fahs Smith, Vice- Provost of the U niver sity of Pennsylvania, is a thoughtful talk on th e influence o f Masonry. The College Man and the State, by C. A. Dref s, Jr ., and The Enchanted Palace, by C. P. McCord are well worth r eadin g.

Last but not least are the Chapter letters telling of the past, the present, and the future o f the individual chapters o f the fraternity. Every letter is optimistic and s how s what a vital place the fraternity ha s taken in the few yea r s of its existence in the affairs of the college world. . Th e influence o f o ur colleges on the life of the nation is so great that we cannot but feel that this organization, made up of our younger brothers who by virtue of their Masonic life will reap the fulle s t of these years of harvest , will effect not only individual character, but will be reflected in the life of the community and in the great fraternity of which we are a part. We will loo k to them as th e leader s of the future , and a s s uch th ey de se rve o ur heartie st support.

A g reat deal o f th e j oy of lif e consists in doing p erfec tl y, or at lea st to the be st of one's ability, eve rything whith he attempts to do. There i s a se n se of sa tisfa c tion, a pride in surveying s uch a work.L-a work which is round ed, full, exact, complet e in all it s part s- which the s uperfi cia l man, w h o leaves hi s work in a slovenly, sl ipsh o d , half-fini s hed condition, can never kn ow. It is thi s co n sc ientious completene ss which turn s wo rk int o art. The smallest thing , well . clone, become s arti s tic . - M at hews.

Bad will be the clay f o r every man when he becomes absolutely cont ent ed with the lif e h e i s livin g, with the thou g ht s that he i s thinking, with th e d eeds he i s d o in g, when th ere is not forever beating at the door s of hi s so ul some grea t d es ire t o d o something larger, which h e kn ows he was meant and made to do because he i s still, in spite of all, the child of God. -Phillips B1'ooks.

The fact that many of ou r active member are uppercla men and post-graduates, with the r e pon ibilitie and work that fall to th Jot f fourth-year men, has made the cacia Hou e at tanford niv er. ity a bu y place thi pring. But with aiJ of thi we have endeavored t keep in touch wit h the social ide of college life , and the dramatic , athletic and ther collegiate events a well a . the local 1\Ia onic bodie have received our liberal patronage.

This semester finds u with two of our men no longer with u . Brother Hurgren completed hi work in lining Engineering in February and left for the northern part of the tate to begin active work in hi cho en profes . ion. Hro. H Isley was the other member to leave, he having tran ferred to the l Tniv rsity of Illinoi . to pur ue the tudy of architecture in that instituti n.

Tn }' ebruary we had the pleasure of entertaininng Bro. John D. offman, a member of N un and Pe Chapters. Bro. Coffman is in the U. Forestry Service in this state and we urely enjoyed having him pend a few days with us.

Of our alumni members we have been pleased to ee Arthur Shutts and Alex. 'uthbertson, who had each returned from a long journey-Bro Shutts coming from Alaska and Bro. Cuthbert on from Europe where h e had been studying and touring the continent.

In February we gave a farewell dinner to Prof. W. F. Durand, one of our faculty members, who left hortly afterward to spend hi s ebatical leave together with Mrs. Durand in Europe. We were orry to have Bro. Durand le ave u for he is a very popular man in the University and a leader in his work-he being the head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

A popular means o£ entertaining this seme ter ha s been accompli s hed by givi ng dinner partie. everal s uch gatherings were held on evening prior to college r< ., tunt s" the whole company going to the play in a body.

On Apri l 8th Beth hapter gives it s annual formal dancing party at the ''Playhouse" in Palo Ito. A number of the Brothers of He Chapter will be with us on thi occa ion and judging from the acceptance that are coming in daily we will have a goodly crowd.

We were pleased to receive the announcement of the marriage of our alumnus Paul 1. Davis, 'o8. to ![iss Helen Bli h of Los ngele s. Bro. Davis was a Va r sity track man while in college, making hi "S'' in the 4-fO.

We hav just completed the plans for an ideal Chapter hou se to co t about $Io,ooo.oo. 'vVe have incorporated as a s tock company and hope to soo n hav e eno ug h stoc k sold to justify active building operations.

Most of our men are contemplating returning in the fall and with a new h o u se, prospects will be brighter than ever before.

\Ve began the year with twenty- ix active member , three of whom are Iacully members. Since then five have left chool. During thi tim e we have initiated J. II. Dod and Fo ter lin e tudent , F. 0 . .:\!arvin Dean of th e Engineering Schoo l, and H. F. l\Ia on, Judge of the Supreme urt of Kansas, an honorary member. Nine of our number will be graduated with this yea r 's cla ss and will doubtle leave chooi to be in active work.

Bro. l:!:. 'vV . Tillotson of Yale Chapter , a fellow in chemi try, ha been with u this year. He SI eak well for the Yale Chapter and we are glad to have him with u s.

Bro s. l.lrock and Vhith , holder of fellowships in chemi try, are now in Roch ste r N. Y., putting into effect the fruit of their research work her e.

VVe have always encouraged hi gh tanclards of cholar hip, and to the li st of men already belonging to h o norar y fraternitie the following have be n e lected : J. F. Barnhill to Sigma Xi; Z. Wetmore, F. l\1. Thomp on. I. N. Williams, and W. J.

L. D. R obert s is one of the most promising men of the track team a nd ran almost abreast with Haddock at Kansas C ity who made the fifty year in 5 I-S seconds. t y ing the record.

\f\Te are pleased to note the interest taken by the Masons ove r the state in Acacia. 'vVe have had the pleasure of entertaining severa l of the Masons from different parts of the sta t e and they always s h ow much interest in the fraternity and the work clone by it. The two b lu e lodges of the city are very cordial and have exte nd ed u s many favors. The Scottish Rite Reunion will be held her pril 25t h to 28th. Ou r boys expect to put on one degree of the work as a fraternity affair.

'vVe wish to expre s o ur g ratitude to D. L. Rowlands, one of the active ma so ns of the city and an honorary m ember, for his int ere t and assistance. He ha always taken a keen intere st in the chapter, hi s counsel is good and hi s assistance generous.

During the past few months more intere t has been taken in socia l affairs. Several informal house parties have been g iven, all of which proved to be very enjoyab le affa ir s. 'vVe feel that s uch gatherings increase the circle of acq uaintanc e, make sc hool life more enjoyable and furni s h a mean s of cultivating the socia l side of life that is often ne g lected by the c harter where a group of fellows are h o u sed together with little opportunity to become acquainted except among them se lve s and in the class room.

l\1arch 5th we gave ur annual banquet. The intere t of the occasion was increased by the initiation of J uclge Iason, h o n ora r y member, Dean l\Iarvin , faculty member, and Foster Cline, a student. Afte r the initiati o n which was held in the lodge r oom all repair ed to the Eldridge Hou e where a seven course banquet was se rved. Geo. 0. Foster acted as toastmaster and the following toasts were re spo nded to : Our C hapter , by J. 0. Jones; The Nat ional Gra nd Conclave, by Geo. Magatagan; Acac ia and the University, by Prof. Sluss; Our Broth ers, by J. S. A mick: The Ma onic

Fraternity , by Judge Mason; The Future of Acacia, by D. L. Rowlands. The new initiates and the ever ready speechmaker Prof. Burdick gave interesting impromptu talks . A large number of alumni added greatly to the pleasure of the occasion

We are comfortab ly situated both as to house and location but feel that the rent being paid could better be applied to paying for a house that would in time become o ur own. A specia l meeting was held March 23d to discuss plans for building. Many of the faculty were present and two of the honorary members. No definite action was taken but committees we re appointed to arrange mean s and look up a site. They hope to report to the chapter in time to take definite action before the end of the year.

We have always striven to keep a good record in scho larship. A committee has been appoined to get monthly report s of the work done by each member. If the work of any has been unsati s factory he is informed of the

It h a been the aim of our chapter to keep the credit of the fraternity good, as well as that of the individual member .

The . February i ss ue of the JouRNAL caught us just starting in on our econcl 1trm' work. That term is now ended and we are about to tart on the third and final term of the school year. .

W started the la st term off in good hape by put!ing on third degree work for As hl ey Lodge at Ash ley, Ohio. The work went. very we ll , much better, in fact, than it did two years ago when we visited Asj1ley I.:.odge for the fir s t time.

We were in A hle y o n Friday and held an initiation here in. Columbus on the next nig ht, Sat urday, Jan. 22 At this initiation four men were received, namely: Bro . Darr, Lukens , Guillaudeu and Killian. They will all be with us next year with the pos ible exception of Bro. Guillaudeu, who graduates this year. Should he not be here, however , it is more than likely that h e will be in sc hool ome where, as he expect to do po tgTaduate worl Bro. Lukens is a Freshman, Barr a Sophomore and Killian a Junior. We are ur e that the y are going to work hard next year to make Waw Chapt er g row

It will be like turning the hou e over to a new bunch of felJows next year, for outside of Bros. 1 otts, vVard and Longenecker, alJ of the older member s in the hou'ie wi ll be gone.

One week after the initiation spoken of above, we gave an info rmal dancing party. Twenty-three coup les were pre se nt and the general op ini n wa s that it was o ur mo t ucce ful party.

Newark. To say that we will g r eat ly mi ss them is putting it li g htly , w hile the Station is finding it difficult to repl ace him who ha s se rv ed th em so well for the past four yea r s .

O n :rviarch JISt the one hundredth member was initiated int o Heth, on Apr il 28 th the fourth anniversary o f her installation was celebrated. A backward g lanc e over the f o ur years completed reveals the fact that , while everyt hin g ha s not alway s seemed t o be for the best at th e time , the t endenc y ha s eve r been onward and upward and the final r es ult s are ve r y e nc o ura g in g. In the li g ht of the se yea rs we have every reason t o be opt imi s tic in o ur predictions for th e future. We complete this yea r wit h over one hundred member s, an active bod y of thirty with twenty in the h ouse a nd an active alumnu s body of seventy -t wo. T h ese o n e hundr ed men have o r ga nized the chapter and have see n it through it s har dest days of development. Solutions f or m os t of the big problems h ave been worked o ut , from n ow o n m ore tim e and attention can be given to the fin e r points. Probably th e m ost imp o rtant of these new problems is t o bring the alumnus and active m emb e r s hip s into c1o se r relati o n with and knowledge of eac h other.

Satur.day, March I:?, ·we held our third1mtiatwn this ye_ar. At this time we ii1itiated Professors Mack and J:horkelson of Department ; an d _ Miller of the Medical Department in afternoon, and Brothers Berry, Berg, Higson and Kunze in the evening. We were agairi : happily to have Bro. MacFarland of Heth Chapter walk in duri ng the ceremony, and to listen to his inspiring rendition of the charge. We were . fortunate in having with us Brothers . Miller of A yin Chapter, Ray of Tav, Law of Yodh and Charters of . latter playing with the Purdue basket ball team the first part of evemng, but was able to attend the banquet which followed the ceremon.y.

A new feature was tried in the last two initiations and were found to work very satisfactorily. It consisted in putting two candidates through the ritual work together, thus saving considerab le time.

Lamedth Chapter bas had four of her members elected to membership in various honorary and professional fraternities during the past year. These are Brothers Crowell into Tai..t Beta Pi, the honorary engineering .Lobb into Phi Alpha Delta, the Law fraternity, Treleven into Beta Gamma Sigma, the Commercial fraternity, and Northrop into Delta Alpha ,- jhe · organized Journalistic· frat.ernity. ·

The social side is by no means neglected. Two informal dancing parties have held, one on Feb. 25, and the other on April 8, both of which formed agreeable diversions from the ordinary routine of scholastic life The coming of spring has already had its effect, and "fussing" is the order of the day.

Among the visitors we have . been. happy to enter-tain during -the last two months are Grand Treasurer Comstock of Kaph Chapter, who called at the house while on his way to and from the installation of Aleph-Aleph Chapter, and Brothers Charters of Samehk, Jones of A yin, and Abbott and Catron of Heth.

MEM CHAPTER

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI, COLUMBIA , MO.

Mem Chapter is looking forward with great pleasure to the Grand Conclave of the Acacia fraternity which is to be held at the University of Missouri next falL Nothing could have brought more pleasure to the members of Mem than the notification that Missouri would get the next conclave. The occasion will be all the more important for this chapter, because t.he occasion will be in a sense the dedication of the new Mem Chapter house which will be completed in time for the conclave.

The new home of Acacia at Missouri will accommodate from twentv to twenty five men, and will b'e one the best chapter .houses at Missouri. It be a typical fraternity house with large roomy parlors and lounging down stairs which may also be used for chapter meetings or moot lodge purposes.

Chapter indeed had a banner year at ·Missouri during I909I o_ Sixteen new members were initiated during the year. They include in addition to those mentioned in the former journals this year, Bro. W. W. Charters, clean of the School of Education; Captain Hershel Tupes,

In th e s tudent ac tivitie s at the U niver s ity o f Missouri th e memb e r of Acacia h ave been leade r s in all line s .

CORNEL L UN I VERSIT Y, I TII"i\CA, N v:

The pa s t year ha s proven Acacia' bariner yea r at Co rn e ll, bein g mark ed by_ th e acqui s ition of a permanent Home, a m o re th o r o ugh organization and a g ratif yi n g in crea se in m ember s hip. ··

O n Feb. 5th Brothers Morrow, Robin so n , Wils o n , Wilder, Rathm aso n , a nd Pelton were initiate d , after which the customary. wa s h e ld with Uro. Wait acting as toa s tmaster in a most plea sin g manner. -

In Un ive r s it y circles th e Masonic spirit making it se lf m o r e s tr o n g ly _ felt by a closer acquaintance with Facu lty and s tud ent body . At i! S m oke r for Maso n s "O n the Hill ," th e re 9 5 present , man y qew m e n a·ppearing. A t this ga thering committees , ,iei·e appoirited · (o prep a r e for the A nnual Masonic Banq u et. On even in g Qf Ma rch r 8, nin ety five ]\ ra s tud e nt s :1 nd fa culty ' including a r epre se ntativ e from eac h . of the To ,.Yt'i Lod ges, were sea te d at a mo t excelle nt Banquet in th e ifasonjc C lub Rooms. This exceeded all expectations and showed th e po ss ibilit y for future rr r o wth in th e It I1as proved the most sa ti s fact o ry m et h od of in touch with College Maso n s, for but few of them wear th ei r e mblem s 0 here. We look forvvard to the time when Acacia will b e so well

known that the Lodges will inform us that one of it s members i s in our midst. This has happened in a few cases in re sponse to a circular letter to all lodges of 1 ew York State. If all of the Chapters would spread the name of Acacia to the Lodges of their State, the effect would be for the ue neral uood of the Fraternity. Each of the answers to our circular letter "' "' . . s tated that lodge "so and so" was plea se d to hear of such an orgamzatJOn as Acacia and that we could feel sure of their support if the occasion offered itself. Nun Chapter thinks that a little advertising, in the way of an article now and then to a few of the most broadly circulated magazines, would further this purpo se to a great extent . A word in Grand Lodge by some of our more prominent Brethren would be well placed. A great future for the Fraternity lies with the Lodges and their hearty support, so the soo ner they become acquainted with Acacia the better.

During the yea! seve ral enjoyable Card Parties were given, generally ending with a dance , all of which proved to be very successful affairs. An Acacia Dance is now being planned which will be our last social affair of the y ear. We will inform our alumni of its elate and hope to see as many of them with u s as po ss ible ·

All o f our exi s tence here has not been socially by any means, for Nun Chapter is still proud to boa st of no "B usts " as we term it.

Several of our men have acquired College hon o r s, all of which help to give the Fraternity it s standing. President Bradlee has given the Cornell Countryman a very able management this year and wa s presented with a handsome gold medal in appreciation of hi s work; he ha s also figured very prominently in the affairs of his college as well a s presiding over Acacia in a most judiciou s manner.

Murray Howes, Cornell's veteran pitcher and "C" man, is now training for another season's work. All who are po s ted on Cornell's doings know of lVI urray ' s fine work last year . He bids fair to fill the box again thi s yea r and is developing in fine s tyle.

Brother Steelquist repre se nt s u s in the Glee C lub and in the :Musical circles of the City.

Brother Rame y is now acting Major of the Cadet corps and was h o no red thi s year by being elected to Tau Beta Phi.

Brother Jones is al so inclined toward Military work and sti 1l defends the medal for fine mark s manship which he captured last year.

Nun Chapter is particularl y proud of having by far the large st man in the U niver s it y. Brother Paul Wilder hail s from near Boston and i s a Freshman thi s yea r. In a recent ru sh he demon s trated that he had strenuth in size by actually walking away with seven clm g mg to hm1 ltke barnacle s. He s uffered a sprained shoulder, however , for too many were anxious of the h onor of capturinu the bigue s t man "o n the hill. " 0 o

During the year seve ral of our alumni have visited with u s and we hope they will keep_ up the good work. Rec e ntly Brothers Cameron, Thomas, McCa rtne y, Pierce and Smith have been with u s.

Th!s yea r we s hall lo se b y graduation Brothers Jayne , Thompson , Steelql11st. Overton, Robinson , Ra s mas o n, Ramey, and Howes . Brother Robmson ha s already completed hi s work and i s now with the Standard Oil Co. down in West V irginia.

of the Exponent and has voiced the student sentiments regardless of consequences . His fame has been extended recently by the wit of a series of his "Co llege Widow " editorials. He has also proven a most competent bu s iness manager of the 19ro Debris and has been honored with the presidency of the Indiana Intercollegiate Press Club.

C. B. Ritter, as chairman of the "M echanic's Burning" Committee , has plans for the most elaborate celebration for years . He is also connected with the business management of the Harlequin Club. This dramatic club presents George Acle's "The City Chap" this season and H. L. Kreiger has the feature comedy P R. Brown will have full charge of athletic day of the gala week exercises. 0. E. Gallup is representing us on the Exponent and Debris staffs. T . C. Kroeger one of our last pledges has been elected a member of the honorary Tau Beta Pi fraternity. Jay Hollingsworth has led our bowling team through a s uccessful season, winning the inter-fraternity contest championship cup. Our fellows alternatingly have charge of the gates on athletic days. There are a few not mentioned who have minor positions which are preliminary steps to the bigger things. We have already been campaigning and feel sure of a bountiful portion of next year's "P lum-tree " crop.

Our faculty members remain enthusiastic and are always interested in our welfare . The standing of the organization in the minds ot authorities of the school is readily shown by the request made of us by the president of the University recently- "S ince your organization control so many s tudent activities and are looked up to as examples, I would appreciate your help in holding within the bounds of morality , the outburst of enthu s iasm by the student body , following athletic victories and, etc."

Socially our ventures have not been so numerous, but elaborate enough to make up for time lost between acts. The social standing of the members is of the highest, many are well qualified for professional " fusserism." "B unch ," our bull-dog, is quite a favonte of the co- eels.

Our ·Sunday dinners are devoted to the entertainment of guests and certain evenings of the week prospective candidates are entertained. A St. Patrick's dinner was given for a number of Masons in the school. At the culmination of the ba s ket ball season the varsity team was entertained one . evening at our chapter hou se .

The event of the year was .when a delegation of Heth Chapter was entertained with a dance and a week's end series of festivities. Heth Chapter boys are royal entertainers themselve s and we look forward to our se mi-annual vi s its to Illinoi s.

Bro. A. R. Keith, Chairman of the ritual committee, was with us April rst and we initiated two candidates upon that elate. Dr. Stanly Coulter of thi s chapter accompanied him to Chicago where they were joined by Bro. Shepardson of Ayin . They expect to give us a new ritual in the near future .

Our relations with Masonry in Lafayette are very close. We are represented at every m ee ting. Many of our number are at present taking aclvantecl degrees.

The work of the Purdue Acacia Building Association is progre ss ing nic e ly and we expect within a year or so to have one of the finest at Purdue . ·

THE ACACIA JO U RNAL.

ALEPH-ALEPH CHAPTER.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

A lep h- A lep h C hap te r is taking eac h step quietly but cau ti o u s ly as we cons i der that policy best. T hi s h as caused u s t o be misunderstood and brotwht abo ut so m e unpl easant thing s, but o ur policy was eq u al t o the tria ]s 0 of inve s tio·ation and we are more t h a n g lad to find ourse lv es enjoyina the rio-hts benefit s of the Acacia F rat e rnit y, w hi ch is no less s in ce r e we, 1's Masons, had a right to expect. vVe are exceeding ly well p leased with Acac ia and receive it s honors wit h g r eat pride.

The Gauge and Gave l Club of the U niver s it y of Washington was o ro·anized May I 5, I908, w ith the aim of fu rth e rin g Masonic intere s t s and Master Masons of the in s titution into a closer fe ll owship. Short ly after th e club was organ ized the quest ion of petition in g Acacia was di scussed but th e petit ion was not s ubmitted until Apr il 6, I909. A reply was not received unti l after the co ll egiate yea r had end ed so the matter had to be left e ntir ely un settled until co ll ege opened in the fall. Eve n after that considerab le time elapsed before we cou ld get in t ou ch with the proper parties, owing to the change of officers in both o r gan i zat ions. Feb. 5th was finally fixed as the elate f o r in s tallati on and E. 0. Heinrich of He Chapter chosen as insta llin g offi ce r. The U niversity Maso ni c Lodge building was secu r ed f o r the occasion. Those who assisted B r ot h er Heinrich were: Broth e r s Little of He, More, Bartells, Meu ll er and Dehn of Het h , N ig h of Samehk, Dick of Lamed th a n d Wi l so n of Daleth. After initiation a merr y gathering was held in the banquet , room. To comp lete th e evening's wo rk each of ou r n ew ly acq uir ed brother s offe r ed so me kin d wo rd s of advice and encouragement, and made known his e ntir e w illin g n ess to lend us any assistance wit hin the leng th of hi s cable - tow.

ALEPH-BETH CHAPTER.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERS ITY, CHICAGO, ILL.

It is the !11ost s incere t hat the A l ep h- Beth Chapte r makes its debut 111 the Circle of Acac ia, the intellectual aristocracy of Freema so nr y."

The A leph - Be th C h ap t e r , o r the "Ba by of Acac ia " as it is better kn own at present, was born on Ma r ch 5th, and a ri gh t h ea lth y · baby it was too.

This newly-born doe not expect to "blu h un een'' but expect to ain uch and prestige in the near future, that cacia may well .be proud of Its offspring.

The enthusia m pre ent among the fourteen who were initiated a charter members ce rtainl y augers a pro perous future for our new chapter. Several of our new member overcame ome rather in urmountable difficulties in order to be with u , one man came all of the way from the I acific coast in orde r t o be with u s . another rode twenty mile through a blinding • outh Dakota blizzard to the railroad tati o n , and another came from a distance to the n ort h of u s, and it i uch men as the e. that go to make up a roster of charter members, wh ich Acacia generally and the \leph - Beth hapter especially may well be proud to loo k back upon in the future. At present whereas our chapter h o u e is n ot an actuallity, it is s u ch a probability that we can almost promi e the J OURN. \L that we will be able to tell them a ll abo ut it within a yea r ' time.

Our thanks is due the Grand ouncil for appointing s u ch an able man as Bro. Com tock to take care of our initiation and in tallation. The initiation and in s tallation took place in the '0/oo llawn l\Ia onic Temple which is located at 64t h St. and Lexington ve., in thi s city. Bro . omstock wa ably assisted by Bro. Wood, of the Illinois niversity; Bro. Connor, of Purdue Un iversit y; Bro. Iaki ch, o f the niver ity of \ isco n s in ; and Bros. Bell and Co1eber I, of the Chicago niver it y Afte r the initiation which was an unu s ually successful one by r easo n of the fact that the severa l delegate s were able to offer num e r o us ugge tions a t o the methods employed in the initiation s in their home chapters, all of which suggestions were tried o ut at our initiation , hence it was a gloriou and howling success. After the initiation the following officers were duly instal led: J. 0. \ i\T ild er, as President; L. Foster, a V ice-Pres ident; L. A. Dain, as Secretary; and C. Z. Graf, a Treasurer.

After the installation, the inner man received attention. by a banquet at llut c hin son Hall. of the University of Chicago, which was voted very much of a success. The evening's program included seve ral contributions from the silvery tongued orators present, Dro. Hill, of the new chapter. acting as toastma ter f or the occasion. Bro. Comstock gave us a declamatory treat entit l ed "The Hi tory o f Acacia.' which commanded the rapt attention of all present; hepard so n , of the Ayin Chapter, favored us with a speec h upon "Immortality and the earch for Truth. " which was n o l ess than a clas ic. and it would be impo s ible for o ne to hear such a talk without having higher id ea ls by rea so n of it , and becomin<Y a better man; Bro. Bell also of y in C hapt e r, gave the new Acacians so me m ost valuable advice and information which cannot help , if carried o ut , but a sis t a nd promote the successful ca r ee r of the Aleph-Beth Chapter. Following this the delegate and assisting brethren were heard from, much to the plea ure of those present.

The vcning wa s o ne long to be r eme mbered and l\Iarch sth wil a lways be held clear to the heart s of the A leph-Beth's at tern Un-iversity, and it wa s re olved that it s h ou ld alway be held a reel letter clay in o ur ca len Jar and as s uch be suitably celebrated.

\ i\Te of , \J ep h-D et h C hapter by a certain. table, and consi tent cour e of management expect to put o ur chapter o n a firm financial basi in the n ear future. These expectations and a ! o the o ne with reference to the

"BUNC H "

"Dunrh,'' the English-bu ll ma cot of Samehk Chapter has won the fri ndship of every student in Purdue University. He was adopted by the chapter al the time of it installation and since ha s become indisp ensabl e to the household. His presence has become essentia l to all University cveuts anti he is a privileged character.

In the pa t thr e sc hool years he has attended classes in every department of the niver sit y and has never been required to take a flunk test. His picture appears annually with the grad uating class in the Debris, but as yet no tlegree s have been conferred up on him. However, he i well qualified for B. S.-l\ r. S.-and Doctor in Good Pellowship. He is known at large throughout Lafayette as "Bunc h Acac ia of the Acacia Bunch."

"Bunch" has the pirit of Samehk Chapter. He is lookino- forward and a glance satisfies us that he ha grit and determination.

Four things a man must l ea rn to do l f he would make his r ecord true; To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellow men s inc erely; To act from honest motives purely; To tru st in God and Heaven sec urel y.-Henr:v Van DJ'lu.

T h e n ex t dreadf ul thing to a battle lost is a battl e won. - W ellington.

Look a t things as th ey a r e and yo u will see that the clever unju st are in the place of runners, who run well from th e s tarting p lace t o the goa l but n o t back aga in fr om th e goa l ; the y go off at a g reat pace but in the end on ly l oo k foolish, slinkin g away wit h their ears clown o n their s h o ulders , and without a crown; but th e true runn e r comes to the fini s h and receives the prize and is crowned. A nd this is the way w ith t h e ju st ; he who endures t o th e end of ever y action and oc casi on of hi s entire lif e has a goo d rep o rt and carrie s off the prize which men bestow.-Plato.
