The Beta Theta Pi - June 1958

frat res

.I. In 1927 Dean Willard L. Sperry of Harvard Divinity Scho 1r livered two lectures in England under the title The Parad Religion. These are in book form and contain an amazing thought. It is that religion shows a paradox. On the one hand, religion is always telling how dissimilar I?an is to ?od; on the hand, how much like God man is . To put it in my words, the first IS man evil whereas G Perfect , and the second is "He made us in His own image."

The more I see of the Greek-letter fraternity world , the more I read about it and the m come in touch with it first hand , the more I realize it presents a series of paradoxes.

One such paradox is the phenomenal growth in fraternity in the of 1 ters and in the size of chapters in the face of the prevalent, bitter and often unrealistic cnt of fraternities.

A second paradox is that often those who shout most vociferously for civil rights, fre liberty and all unshacklings of the human body and mind are the most undemocrat.ic about 1 persons' rights of free association. Such persons not only refuse one. :nght to d his friends, they would go far beyond If they could not obliterate fraternities m the nan freedom, they would put them in handcuffs, chains, straitjackets and any other form of bi1 man's freedom.

A third paradox is seen within fraternities themselves. This is demonstrated by men who ci have to join a fraternity, but did. They took the place of someone who wanted to join but d get the opportunity. The persons to whom I refer , by some religious passion, burning of 1 science or social zeal, suddenly attack from within their own association and friends. The not say anything about the ideals, the purposes , or the good which fraternities have don« countless individuals.

A paradox is one of the most powerful things of life . To be frank about Jesus, he was, ass< one has said , "An infinite paradox ." Many of the greatest teachings of St. Paul were paradoxical form. Much of everyday life is a paradox; and through the paradox, we often more deeply and come to understand more widely the complexity of life. Is it too much to that the complexity of a paradox simplifies?

To get back to the paradoxes the fraternity world faces, we can come to certain conclusi In the first instance , growth which is because of popular acceptance is met with bitter oppos i by those with whom the fraternity idea is unpopular. I will place my confidence in the for half of the paradox . Fraternities will grow more and more. In regard to the second para1 " Liberty burns brightest in dungeons." I will place my confidence here that man will not render because of threats to his right of freedom of association. In regard to the third parae there are in every classification of life persons who hate what they are. They want to be so thing else They believe they can improve everything. They can find fault with anything. A fraternities, they came into one voluntarily; the solution to their problem is to withdraw fro1 voluntarily.

Perhaps one of the commonest maladies of our day is ambivalence, or trying to do or to two things at the same time. This dilemma our Fraternity should avoid . As the YMCA sho be a Young-Men's--Christian-Association, Beta Theta Pi should be what it is supposed to a Greek-letter college fraternity. It should admit with pride its origin , roots , history , ideals ; achievements. It should take pleasure in saying what it is, even though at times it may havf endure brickbats for that reason. May it never say that it is something it isn't to save its skin to win someone's favor.

THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF BETA THETA PI FRATERNITY

There·s a Lot to be Done

By FoRD R. WEBER, Denison '21, General Treasurer, Beta Theta Pi

NEw TIMES mean new needs, and they call for a new look occasionally at whether the old tools are adequate for new jobs.

One of Beta Theta Pi's finest tools, the Founders Fund, is in wonderful position to be of particular service to the Fraternity in these times. And as far as it goes, it's in extremely healthy condition. But in relation to the size of the job and the growth of costs, it no longer goes far enough.

The Founders Fund is perhaps mostly widely known to Betas as the source of scholarships awarded each year to deserving undergraduate Betas of high promise, because these awards have been publicized through our Magazine . This is a work which will continue, and it hardly is the kind of job we mean when we say the Fund must grow to match its responsibility

A far bigger assignment is the job of assisting in the improvement, renovation or renewal of our chapterhouses as a part of maintaining this nation's educational plant. This, on a loan basis, has been one of the functions for which the Founders Fund has operated. As we shall see later in this article, the function has been carried out. But the Fund cannot, at its present size, make much of a dent in the job.

Beta Theta Pi on most of its campuses was a leader in the move to acquire a home for fraternity living. Many of these chapterhouses which were real pioneers in the field have become as inadequate as the pioneer efforts in other fields. Some involve more tradition than efficiency, for repair is almost as costly as construction. Aside from questions of pride and competition , our housing on many campuses has reached a point of poor economy.

In some cases, the Fraternity which we believe deserves the best is living in "broke-down aristocracy."

Loans from Founders Fund large enough to do the job could help our chapters over this problem, and in doing so could be helping the nation's college greatly. It is no secret that many of our college administrators see the fraternity system as one answer to the housing problems that will come with the next ten years' tidal wave of enrollment. Yet this attitude in itself 442

is reason for not expecting too great a tren the direction of college-financed constructio1 new fraternity housing.

Let's take a look at the Fund, and how it operated:

The Founders Fund was established in 1 by the generosity of William Raimond Ba Stevens 1878, Columbia 1882. He was joi then and down through the years by ot Betas, alumni chapters, friends and transJ from the General Fund of the Fraternity.

Founders Fund assets now total apprc mately $265,000, about one-half of which invested in bona fide, legally-made loans various chapters. The remainder of the Ft has been prudently invested in stocks < bonds , accounting for much of the Fund's ass in recent years.

Lately, gifts to the Founders Fund, so sor needed, have not been forthcoming.

In 1956 , there were only four donors to 1 Fund. Their gifts, totaling $1,97 5 , in clue $1,000 as the latest of several similarly gem ous contributions by Mrs. Florence Gavin, : dianapolis , widow of James L. Gavin, DePa1 1896, never-to-be-forgotten, long-time Tre urer of Beta Theta Pi.

In 1957, Mrs. Maybelle Simpson, widow another great Beta, Col. John R. Simps Miami 1899, gave $3 ,000 as first payment ' an ultimate gift of double that amount, establish a scholarship in memory of her h 11 band. Except for scattered small gifts and portion of the income retained, these have be! the only increments to the Fund in rece years.

And neither of these has come directly fro a member of the Fraternity.

But the demands on the Fund are increasi n at a rate greatly beyond the increase of its r sources. Much more money is needed to sen the purposes of the Fund, which are stated : its indenture to be "held, used and applied e: elusively for charitable, scientific, literary an educational purposes beneficial to the Frate nity, its several chapters and members tl: Trustees are expressly authorized to make Ioar to assist the Fraternity or any chapter therec to build, buy, remodel or furnish a chaptf

)use and to encourage or assist needy or orthy students to secure an education "

Just how well the Trustees have carried out tese responsibilities is attested by the record. ver fifty loans have been made for more than 310,000 in total, and there are current comtitments for an additional $50 ,000. To the edit of the borrowers, the record of repaytent generally has been good. Although there ave been temporary defaults , no loss has ever experienced , nor are any anticipated in ew of the inherent integrity of the Beta entity hich is the obligor .

With the creation of the Gavin Fund in 1949 ; a part of the Founders Fund, the authority ' assist students was implemented. Thus far , 8 men have received scholarships totaling 19,1q5, one or more of the annual designaons being the James L. Gavin Scholars hip Much assistance to chapters and members as been given, but not enough to meet the

need. The generosity of the past has not been matched by the pre sent. Beta Theta Pi appeals to those loyal and devoted Betas of tod ay, to give , to the extent of their me a ns, to this meritor ious Fund Current gifts are needed Founders Fund gifts are ruled as tax-deductible by the Internal Revenue Service. Obviously , beque s ts would be Someone has suggested that " where there is a will , there is a way to help Beta." In the past , sub s tantial gifts have been received as memorials to great Betas who have joined the Ch a pter Etern a l.

One of the re as ons th a t Beta Theta Pi is great today is the generous a nd sa crificial giving of mone y a nd self by the Bet a " gre a ts " of the past. We of today can maint a in Beta's greatness by matching that grand spirit .

Do you feel the urge ? We hope you do , and that you will act on it now , and thereby expand your own Beta spirit and that of the entire Fraternity .

ew Role for Sparks

•IRECTION oF ONE of the biggest campaigns ter launched on behalf of higher education is te new role of a Beta whose several previous treers have been nothing short of fantastic.

He is Dr. Frank Hugh Sparks, DePauw '35, amed March 12 as ' the new president of the ouncil for Financial Aid to Education. The >rmer president and chairman of the board f Wabash College was named as successor to lr. Norman P. Auburn, who returned to the residency of the University of Akron. Auburn ad been acting president of the Council since LSt July.

Dr. Sparks' class designation as a Beta repremts something almost unique in itself, and it :lis a part of the story of his interesting career. Jready recounted several times in the Beta 1agazine is the story of how Frank Sparks as a young man following a storybook areer in business and industry, with the express mbition of acquiring a college education and ecoming a college administrator. By this time, e had two grown sons. The younger , Joseph, ntered DePauw. in 1933 and pledged Beta.

Joe's enthusiasm for this association im•ressed the father, who by this time was work1g on a bachelor's degree at Butler University ihile also lecturing on economics at that ersity. Frank Sparks visited the DePauw chapoften and became increasingly sold on the ellowship and unity of the Fraternity .

Through a series of moves which amounted o extraordinary dispensation , not likely to be epeated in these times, Frank Sparks was transferred" from Butler to DePauw for a 1rief period to permit his initiation into Beta fheta Pi with son Joe and the rest of the class 1f 1937 . Since he expected to complete requirenents for his bachelor ' s degree in 1935, the 1eneral Fraternity has listed Frank Sparks , tow age 67 , as D e Pauw ' 35.

Despite his busy schedule in Indianapolis, te attended chapter meetings at Greencastle requently and attended Beta Conventions with ·oe. He remained in active touch with Delta :hapter until he moved to California to coninue study on a master's and then a doctor's Iegree , also continuing to teach at the same ime. Announcement of his election as president >f Wabash College came the day after he re:eived his Ph.D. from Southern California in 1941.

During his presidency of Wabash , Dr. Sparks Jecame known not only as an energetic fund-

raiser and cheerleader for that institution but as the originator in 1947 of the idea of college presidents joining to ask business and industry for common support. What became known as the "Indiana Plan" has grown to 39 such state groups , such as the Associated Colleges of Indiana; these in turn produced the American College Fund ; he resigned the chairmanship of each to accept the Council presidency.

Accepting the Council presidency also included resigning from the chairmanship of the Wabash board of trustees. He had become chairman of the college board when he resigned the Wabash presidency in 1956 , when he was succeeded by Dr. Byron K. Trippet , Wabash '30. Dr. Sparks announced he would continue as public governor of the New York Stock Exchange and as a director of Arvin Industries, the corporation which he and Quentin Noblitt had built up as Noblitt-Sparks in the automobile automotive boom of the 1920 's.

The Council for Financial Aid to Education, Inc., has become most widely known through the campaign it has conducted in cooperation with the advertising council to acquaint the public with a growing need for additional financial support to the nation's colleges Standard advertisements prepared without charge by the Advertising Council have been featured through every medium of public opinion.

New Chiefs for Two Districts

FOR THE FIRST TIME in perhaps many years, two of Beta's 25 District Chiefs are classmates from the same chapter.

And it may be just as rare a circumstance that the District Chief 's circle is without a representative of a DePauw chapter which only three years ago was providing Chiefs of three districts when no other chapter was represented twice.

Paul E. Newey, Northwestern '22 , the new Chief of District XI , is not only a classmate but a close boyhood friend of Harold L. Brown, Northwestern '22, Chief of District XVII since September 1951. The new chief is the brother of a former District Chief, John W. Newey, Northwestern '18 , but he says that Hal Brown was "responsible for my taking on the job "

The Last of the Deltans , E. Weston Colbruno, DePauw '50 , after nearly five years as Chief of District XX has been relieved by Harold S. Hook, Missouri '53 , the "baby" of Zeta Phi's four Hook brothers.

Newey, who entered college under wartime conditions , was pledged Beta while still in high school, initiated shortly after school started in the fall before actually having earned any college credits. He was graduated from Northwestern's School of Business Administration and married a Northwestern Kappa Kappa Gamma , Norma Lawlor. They have three sons, David, age 31; William, Northwestern '45, age 29, and 446

Tom , 17, who hopes to enter September.

He spent most of his business life with th n companies: Montgomery Ward & Co. , as buyer; James 0. McKinsey Co., in ment consultant work, and Ceco Steel Prodw Corp., manufacturers of building products , treasurer-controller and member of the of directors.

Moving to Atlanta in 1953 "to enjoy soutr ern living," he set up a mail order and book business for the Board of Christian Ed cation of the Presbyterian Church. Since Ju 1, 1957 he bas been associated with Emo University, first as lecturer in the school and now as graduate placement office His main interest outside his business and has been in the church; he was a Sunday Scho • teacher and chairman of the board of trustel of large Congregational Churches in Omah Neb., and LaGrange, Ill. At one time he served on the board of the Bethlehem Con munity Center in Chicago.

As Chief of Di strict XI, he succeeds Wi liam A. Yardley, Ohio State '44, who had foun it difficult to continue to maintain contact wit chapters at Mississippi , Sewanee , Tulane an Vanderbilt after becoming dean at Midwester University, Wichita Falls, Tex. Yardley ha been District Chief since June 1954. Newey home is 726 N. Parkwood Rd., Dec atur, Ga.

District Chief Newey

District Chief Hook

Since completion of three years of active lavy duty just a year ago, Harold Hook has assistant to the president of the National Life Insurance Company, Kansas City, recently was elected an officer of the He and Mrs. Hook, the former Hunt (a Missouri Pi Beta Phi) and their r-old daughter Karen Anne live in neare Village, Kansas. His brothers are Dr. Ralph C. Hook, Jr., lissouri '48; a San Francisco investments man, nd James (Gabby) Hook, Missouri '53, former football star now with Unitog. Attending Missouri on an NROTC scholarhip, he was an honor student and received the 'h icago Tribune and Reserve Officer Corps wards for Outstanding Naval Cadet. He was ledge class secretary and chapter alumni secetary and pledge trainer before being chapter resident as a senior, the same year he was resident also of Student Union and 0 6. K. also was elected to A II Z, B r ! and Seven.

For the year following graduation, he renained at Missouri as instructor in accounting n the School of Business , receiving both his naster's degree and his commission as Ensign, 1 JSN, in June 1954. Then came three years of ctive duty aboard the USS Lapwing, mineweeper, as engineering officer and exec.

Dr. Ralph C. Hook, Jr., Missouri '48, is the new director of the Bureau of Business Services at Arizona State College at Tempe. He has taught at Missouri, where he received his master's in 1948; at Texas, where he received his Ph D in 1954, and at Texas A. & M and the University of Kansas City . Besides having been dealer-manager of the Hook Buick Agency at Lee's Summit, Mo., since 1952, he is an honorary trustee of National College, Kansas City, and a contributing editor of Implement and Tractor, trade journal. The Hooks' move to Tempe in February turned out to be a swap: they bought the home just vacated by Football Coach Dan Devine who had left Arizona State for the University of Missouri.

Now It's Official

Transfer of the duties and responsibilities of the office of Administrative Secretary of Beta

Theta Pi from Ralph N. Fey, Miami '40 , to Frederick Brower, Miami '50, became effective May 2 when the Board of Trustees of the Fraternity accepted Fey's recommendation that the transfer be completed.

Earlier plans to defer Brower's "inductio n" until the end of the fiscal year were accelerated after it became possible to complete an audit and other details earlier than expected.

B. Mautz, Miami '37, Chief of District X, beomes dean of academic affairs at the University of l!lrida, July 1 . He has been assistant dean of the lniversity's law school the past three years. He will · ontinue to teach one class in the College of Law.

As reported in the January issue, Fey, Administrative Secretary since the office was created in 1949, began acq uainting Brower with details of the job early last winter. By February, Brower was filling the job with benefit of daily conferences with Fey , so that he was considered fully squared away in his new job well in advance of the May meetings of the Board of Trustees which both attended.

Baily Heads <P B K Associates

HAROLD J. BAILY, Amherst '08, former General Secretary of Beta Theta Pi, is the new president of Phi Beta Kappa Associates.

Directors also include Judge James Alger Fee, W.hitman '10, of the 9th United States Circuit Court of Appeals, San Francisco, Calif., No. 1 on his chapter roll.

Phi Beta Kappa Associates dates from 1954 when the Phi Beta Kappa Foundation was chartered by the University of the State of New York as a corporation empowered to hold and to administer trust funds accrued through gifts and bequests. In 1940 the foundation's endowment stood at $290,000. A group of Phi Beta Kappa members that year formed Phi Beta Kappa Associates to provide the foundation with an additional and assured source of income to encourage and promote sound and humane education on a nationwide scale.

Regular membership in the Associates is limited to 200 members of Phi Beta Kappa who "have demonstrated by their present positions that they have not defaulted on their election to Phi Beta Kappa but have accepted the responsibility of public-spirited American citizens."

Each associate contributes $100 annually for ten years to the Foundation at which time he becomes a life member. Since 1940 the trustees of the Foundation have allocated more than $200 ,000 to the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, consisting of 163 chapters in American colleges and universities and 71 graduate associations in towns and cities in the United States and abroa d.

In addition to supplying working funds for the United Chapters, the associates have financed a Phi Beta Kappa Associates National Lectureship , enabling chapters and graduate associations to obtain distinguished speakers for local programs.

Sho-Nuff Show for Shanks

The weekend of March 1 was a memorable one for Cincinnati Betas .

As occasion for both the spring initiation of Beta Nu chapter and the annual banquet of the venerable alumni group known as the Diogenes Club, the weekend seemed appropriate for a joint Beta Nu-Diogenes dinner.

This was heightened when Carrol M. Shanks, Washington (Seattle) '21, president of the Prudential Insurance Company of America, agreed to come from New Jersey to address this dinner. Over the past year, he had been subject of a TIME Magazine cover story and had been

chosen as one of the nation's 50 foremost busi ness executives by Forbes Magazine. He was re garded as especially newsworthy for his re peated assertions of confidence in early busines recovery.

Arriving in Cincinnati early to visit his com pany's offices there , he was the subject of exten sive newspaper interviews, each of which in cidentally pointed out that he was in the cit: primarily to speak at the Beta banquet.

Early arrival also gave him time to ac company several Diogenes Club members tc Oxford , where he was luncheon guest of th( Beta Theta Pi Administrative Office and Betas. Officials of Miami University ( whom were Betas, anyway) and of Western lege also attended Afterward, Shanks was ducted on a tour which included stops at the site of the founding of the Fraternity, the Theta Pi Campanile and the Fraternity's Administrative Office plus a brief reception at the Alpha chapter house.

Shanks ' banquet remarks that night were directed to the undergraduate chapter and particularly to the 18 new Betas who had been in "'l troduced by Robert A. (Jim) Ibold , Jr., cinnati '61.

He urged the undergraduates to consider their fraternity life in part as training for a business world which places a premium on independent thinking and intelligent application of past training . He stressed the importance of creative thinking and of willingness to try new ideas, as opposed to being bound by conformity and acceptance of mediocrity.

The successful man was characterized by Shanks as one who "is not satisfied to follow

Iota finished the first semester with another "first." This time it was scholarship, undisputedly the most coveted "first" on the campus.

Second-semester rush resulted in 15 preferences for Iota. This is the largest secondsemester preference class we have had and is larger than any other fraternity obtained this semester. Yet we are more proud of the fine caliber of these potential pledges than of their number. Under the Hanover system, preferences will be pledged at the beginning of the fall semester.

Beta campus leaders include chairmen of Student Board of Affairs and public Affairs forum; presidents of Varsity H Club, Forensics Union, Student Christian Association and senior class; other officers and members in the Public Affairs Forum steering committee, Hanover Players, Student Council, Alpha Phi Omega , Student Christian Association, Choir, International Club, Science Club and others.

Graduation of an exceptional 1957 class left Alpha Iota a tough job in attempting to maintain its leadership among 18 fraternities here this year. Initiation of 18 of a pledge class of 24 has meant a great deal in filling this gap.

New pledges are Robert Jordan and Joel Harris, freshmen

This year's Greek Week for these new Betas was one of the best organized and most constructive in the chapter's history. It was under direction of James Tompras, '58 . The Greek Week project , under direction of David Wahl, '60, was shoveling more than a foot of snow off campus walks. This pledge class also won the Greek Week pledge basketball tournament.

Betas who have distinguished themselves on campus recently include Tompras, cadet colonel of the Army ROTC the past year; Robert E. Howard, '59, elected to Thurtene, junior honor-

ary, and William Jordan, '59, who bas won the $250 second-place prize in the St. Louis Home Builders Show. Five of our seniors have been admitted to the university's medical school, which usually accepts only about a dozen of the university's own graduates. These are Michael Brown, Ivan Cliff, Bruce Dunn, John Fenlon , and Raymond Ritter.

Beta was fifth among 18 fraternities in scholarship for the fall semester.

The Betas' record in intramural basketball ! has continued this semester. An eighth consecutive all-school championship was racked up as Beta won its 82nd consecutive victory in this sport. Mainstays of the team were Alwyn Wolfarth, '59; David Boucbein, '59; Gary Groh, '59; Michael Koenen, '61; Frederick Kroeger, '61; Richard Hopkins, '61; David Schmelig , '59; Robert Frick, '59; Morris Ebeling, '60 , and Clifford Jordan, '60 Two nights later, the intramural wrestling trophy came to Alpha Iota.

Almost immediately after initiation at the beginning of the second semester, a new pledge class moved into the house. Four men were pledged: Jack Spille, Tom Hargrove, Bruce Lloyd, and Burt Reanier. These immediately went to work with the new initiates and older pledges to produce the annual pledge dance, based on an "Inferno" theme

Having ranked third among men's living groups on campus at the close of the first semester, the chapter now has been in the top three for six consecutive semesters. As usual , the Daffodil Dance was one of the outstanding social events of the year. This included tea at the chapter house in the afternoon, dinner at the Pullman Country Club with fraternity singing and a general social hour after the dinner and dancing at the chapter house from nine until midnight.

Varsity track is an important sport for Betas at Washington State this spring. John Fanning, '58, chapter president, and Donald Ellingsen, '59, each of whom starred in football last fall, are two of the top pole vaulters on the coast.

Western Ontario

For the second year in a row, the fraternities at the University of Western Ontario have the singular distinction of having the highest ' campus scholastic average in North America. Some of the seniors who have made this possible are Joseph Wearing, '58, gold medalist in music; Morgan Fisher, '58, business school merit award winner, and Douglas M. Reid, '58, winner of the graduate assistantship in industrial relations, Cornell.

Recent rushing parties under the able direction of Gordon Jeffrey, '59, John Flindall, '59, and Ronald Elliott, '59, have been particularly successful. Generous donation of a new piano

John Anderson, '62 , has made it possible to some of the better-known musical groups the district. Particularly noteworthy is a caypso group from Trinidad .

Under the able direction of Robert Coates, '61, Interfraternity Council is planning for the !fall of '58 a sports program for some of the wayward adolescents of our city . While this still is in the planning process , evidence points to it bejng a very successful project.

David Durnford, '59, has begun to shape plans for the District IV conclave. All attempts re being made to find a weekend suitable to all chapters concerned.

Wittenberg

Alpha Gamma remained one of Wittenberg's leading fraternities this year. We are fighting to maintain the place we have established during the last year by winning the Homecoming display award, maintaining high scholastic average, and having excellent results in rushing.

On February 23, this chapter initiated 19 men, and on March 3 we held elections. The following men should lead Alpha Gamma through another excellent year: Stuart D Shanor, '58, president; David D. Mattes, '58, first vice president; Terry E. Weems, '59, second vice president; Richard Lamka, '60, treasurer; Tyler B. Phillips, '60, corresponding secretary and director of publicity; Donald Mogk, '59, recording secretary; Thomas Maurer, '60, pledge trainer; George Bell, '59, house manager, and David T. Lemmon, '60, steward.

As these men take over, we are looking forward to a busy spring, with Varsity Night, Scholarship and the Inter Fraternity Sing at stake. We are planning to revive the annual J?org J?inner, when Fraternal Fifties recognitiOn Will be accorded to Charles B. Zimmerman, '11; Frank E. Dock, '11, and Charles W. Gwyn, '11.

The Mothers Club of Alpha Gamma bas taken a renewed interest in the chapter; this bas resulted in Pot Luck dinners, bridge parties, etc., proceeds from which have gone toward various house improvements. Our Alumni Association recently purchased and installed an excellent deep well fryer, which is perfectly suited for fraternity use. Further house improvements during spring vacation were planned.

All in all, it is a bright semester for Alpha Gamma as the Dragon reigns supreme. (TYLER PHILLIPS , '60, Publicity Director)

The Community Theatre. By John Wray Young, Kansas State '27. 155 pp. New York : Harper & Brothers, 1957. $3.50.

More than 20 years' work to make the Shreveport Little Theatre a model of community theatre gives authenticity to this manual on how such a project works. Author says he "knew the book had to be written" after he found "too many questions and no time for complete answers" in a 3,000-mile tour of lectures and conferences on the Contains guidance for either starting from scratch or strengthening a going project. Covers problems of budget, talent, facilities and choice of material. A final chapter speculates on the future of volunteer theatre in the Atomic Age.

Having fun with Music 1Q' Doran K. Antrim, DePauw '13. 112 pp. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1958. $3.95.

Dedicated to the proposition that "you are more musical than you think," this offers simple shortcuts to having good amateur fun on a variety of musical instruments without elaborate training. The author's idea is to help the untrained enjoy music and music-making, so it's no joke about becoming a Paderewski in ten lessons. But if you want to go deeper, he tells you where to find more. Antrim is a former editor of The Musical Observer, The Metronome and Your Music Dealer. He helped World War I soldiers make their own music, formerly conducted a WNEW program, "How Musical are You?" and has written and lectured extensively on enjoyment of music. Favorite gimmick: getting people to play the piano by showing them three chords. Added to Knox Memorial Library, courtesy of the author.

Ray W. Irvin, Wooster ' 08, a central figure of the following article, died May 26 as this issue ":'as being readied for press Biographical informatoon will appear in the October issue.

BETAS ATTENDING the 119th General Convention of Beta Theta Pi will be treated to a splendid addition to the series of matching portraits of Beta Greats when the new painting of Founder John Reily Knox, Miami 1839, is unveiled.

"Unofficially," it was presented to the General Fraternity through Administrative Secretary Ralph N . Fey, Miami '40, at the annual Cleveland Beta alumni banquet February 28. It was pictured in the Cleveland Plain Dealer the following morning Shown with it were Ray W. Irvin, Wooster ' 08, who had commissioned and presented the pamtmg, and the Rev. Louis F. Ruf , Rutgers 1885, only man present who had been a personal acquaintance of Pater Knox. The dinner was attended by 229 Cleveland area Betas, including the undergraduates of the Case and Western Reserve chapters .

Anyone who attended the "unofficial" presentation would agree that the portrait is worthy of two presentations and unveilings It was most appropriate that its initial acceptance by

Pater Kn

the Fraternity should have taken place in Cleveland, where "Shorty" Irvin's day-by-day devotion to Beta Theta Pi is a by-word. It would be equally appropriate that the thrill of seeing the Knox portrait be shared by as many possible in the atmosphere of a Beta Convention.

The Knox portrait is the fifth to be executed for the Fraternity by Louis Szanto, New York artist. And although this is the personal gift of Shorty Irvin, it is the fifth in which he has had some part.

The presentation was part of a which included presentation of Fraternal Fifties Cards to Quay H. Findley and George E. Forbes, both Western Reserve '11. They were escorted to the speakers' table by a corps of Fraternal Fifties to be inducted and welcomed by the Rev. Dr . Ruf, who as usual had come from his home at Brockport , N.Y., for the event.

Principal speaker was Marvin Pierce, Miami '16 A member of <.P B K who also is one of Miami's all-time athletic greats, long-time president and board chairman of the McCall Corporation and more recently a special assistant to the publisher.,. of TIME magazme, he drew from experiences in these various fields to describe the long-range values of Beta Theta Pi.

But the part of the program which we shall preserve here, because of its ship to the Founder of the Fratermty, IS the brief commentary on John Reily Knox delivered by the donor of the portrait. We are indebted to a guest at the dinner, District Chief Edward M. Power, Washington & Jefferson '33, of Pittsburgh, for "capturing" and preserving the following remarks by Brother Irvin at the Cleveland dinner:

My remarks tonight will be brief, but I shall ask your indulgence for a while that we may consider together the life and works of a young man with an idea.

I speak, of course, of John Reily Knox, the beloved founder of our Fraternity. He had come to Miami from Butler County, Ohio , had excelled in his classes, was popular, a dreamer, and a doer.

At the age of 19 he conceived the idea of organizing a society to rival the then only other Greek-letter group on the campus, Alpha Delta Phi.

Secrecy was the great bond that was to weld these young, impressionable men together. The had only recently passed through the Morgan Raid and all the violent acts associated with the Anti-Masonic movement. Secret societies were forbidden on the Miami campus, yet John Reily Knox established the Beta Theta Pi in spite of what should have been discouraging times.

He succeeded far better than he knew; and I like to think that his success was based upon the most fortuitous choice of ideals, not only to inspire his immediate companions, but to be the beacon for generations of men who would wear the badge and bear the name of Beta Theta Pi.

Pater Knox had little to do with the building of the Fraternity. After his almost miraculous choice of a standard under which his society was to prosper, he was an observer, rather than a worker for many years. Indeed, he was an undergraduate member of the Fraternity for only five clays. The first meeting of Beta Theta Pi was held "on the eighth day of the eighth month of 1839." Knox was graduated from college on August 13, five days later.

He was recalled a year later to deliver the Anniversary address to the society. This address has been preserved and is a noble and inspiring oratorical effort. Flowery, perhaps, but filled with such sentiments as characterized the public addresses of the day. He there stresses the beauty of "unsullied friendship-untrammeled friendship."

"Here, then, is the secret," he says, "'Nor hope to find a friend but what has found a friend in thee.' Let only the members of the Beta Theta Pi repose in each other confidence unlimited, and I, for my part, ask no other security. This is a confidence which gold cannot buy. Let each member be as ready to assist as he would wish the brother to be of whom in the

hour of need he would ask assistance."

After a period of teaching in Tennessee John Reily Knox moved to Greenville, Ohio. There he read law and became a practicing lawyer for more than fifty years.

We know that his reputation as a college orator followed him, that he was in demand as a speaker at all great public occasions.

He was a loyal church worker, a genial and popular citizen of integrity. His only public office, however, was as a presidential elector who cast his ballot for Abraham Lincoln.

John Reily Knox is not heard from in the Fraternity again until 1873, 34 years after the founding, when he wrote a letter to John I. Covington* relating the events incident to the beginnings of the Society. Only in 1879 did he attend his first convention.

From then until his death in 1898 Pater Knox was a devoted, bewildered, affectionate and active participant in all Fraternity matters. In 1884 he was elected to the Board of Directors. He was President of the Convention of 1890 at Wooglin on Chautauqua. He never fully believed that the great band of devoted

Betas, by that time numbering 10,000 corning "from Gulf to the Lakes and from ocean to ocean" was the product of his brain child at Miami back in 1839 .

Billy Gravest gives us his impression of Pater Knox at the convention of 1895:

To have known him, however slightly, simply to have seen him and taken him by the hand must have been like a blessing and a benediction to any younger college man whose rare good fortune gave him the opportunity. Of all life's memories, none surpasses in pleasure that recollection of the splendid old man seated there in the circle of boys to whom he was the object of reverence and love, and whose image every one of them would bear away and cherish in his inmost heart.

I would like to close these remarks with a portion of the tribute paid to Pater Knox soon after his death in 1898 by that great stalwart of Beta Theta Pi, Willis Oscar Robb, Ohio Wesleyan 1879:

If a great college fraternity could have had the choosing of its own founder, if it could order beforehand his character his attributes his manner of living and his 'time of dying: I _am not it could possibly choose more w1sely for 1tself than Providence chose for Beta Theta Pi when it gave us for our founder

the simple country lawyer who died last month in Western Ohio. A scholar, a gentleman , a Christian , a pure-minded and tenderhearted man, the leader of his local bar, a vestryman of his parish church, foremost in all public enterprises, respected throughout the region where he lived, he lacked not the blessings of health and long life and domestic happiness. While the Fraternity lives, he will live, live in our grateful thoughts and reverent observances, his name in-woven in our traditions and embedded in our records. What securer fame, what worthier immortality than this?

Pater Knox, we salute thee!

Brother Fey, The Cleveland Alumni Chapter has accorded me the privilege of presenting to The Fraternity through you, this portrait of John Reily Knox. It is the hope of this Cleveland group of dedicated Betas that all who come to our National shrine at Oxford may find inspiration and increased devotion to the ideal of our fraternity as they behold there the features of our beloved founder. We speed this ' portrait to join those other great paintings by our friend Louis Szanto: John Calvin Hanna , Wooster 1881; George Moseley Chandler, Michigan 1898; Willis Oscar Robb, Ohio Wesleyan 1879, and Francis Wayland Shepardson , Denison 1882.

Southwest. Here Comes Hughes

By GuPTON VoGT, Westminster '31 Editor, St. Louis Beta Theta Pi Alumni Association

ON RATHER RARE O ccASIONS it is the pnvilege of Betas to honor a brother who has contributed so unselfishly to the welfare of the Fraternity that words , banquets and awards seem woefully inadequate.

" Once a Beta, always a Beta" describes in the St. Louis area one man more than any other: Arthur F. Hughes, Wesleyan '16. And it was our great pleasure and privilege to laud him as our Honor Guest at the Annual Banquet AprilS.

Art came to St. Louis only 15 short years ago and immediately stepped into Beta activities with a zeal and unassuming interest that endeared him to brothers throughout District XX, from new initiates to Silver Grays. If Art has any other interest in life besides Beta Theta Pi , his family and his job (in that order, we suspect), it never has come to light.

He served as president of the St. Louis "Alumni Club 1946-47 and inaugurated our annual September Rush Party which has been the envy of all local fraternal alumni groups and the pattern and inspiration for similar Beta gatherings throughout the country. Art promptly became our perennial Rush Chairman and has held that job for 11 years.

In 1949 the District Chief's job became open, and only Art Hughes could fill the bill adequately. His interest in and wide knowledge of fraternal matters , his constant vigilance and his insistence on high accomplishment in scholarship and campus activities made him a valuable, respected and much-loved Chief for the three and one-half years he held the post. Only the demands of his job necessitated his resignation, but he continued to provide many a valuable assist where District business was concerned. Every year since coming to St. Louis , Art has won a "Beta Tie" at the Christmas

party for one of the best attendance records a t our weekly luncheons. At our most recent Christmas Party, Art was presented with a watch paid for by voluntary contributionsjust a small and unprecedented tribute to a real Beta.

The Annual Banquet was well attended by nearly 150 brothers who turned out not only to say "Well Done" but to say "So Long" to Art, who had retired April 1 and with Mrs. Hughes was planning to move to Arizona or Southern California.

The chapter singing contest was held as usual , officers were elected for the coming year, and the meeting was closed with the Loving Cup , using the famous Pater Knox Silver Anniversary Cup which had been sent from Oxford for the occasion. Edward E. Murphy, Jr., Washington (St. Louis) '47, presided George Herpel, Vanderbilt '44, introduced the Honor Guest.

It was truly a great occasion in the annals of the St. Louis Beta Theta Pi Club history. We shall miss Art Hughes , every one of us; but we know the Beta Star will shine a bit brighter in the Great Southwest and that our loss will be their gain.

AND HUGHES, HERE COMES MAGAZINE For Art Hughes remembered to send a new address to the Administrative Office, 208 East High Street, Oxford, Ohio. Otherwise, the issue mailed to his own address would come back marked "undeliverable"-and that would be the end of a lifetime subscription. If you are changing your address, let us know.

But he remained true to our expectations and has found in the Church a bustling , active career

One of the few Betas to become Catholic prie sts , Father Chase travels all over Canada and upper New York state giving Missions and preaching in parishes. His base is at St. Peter's Church , 647 Markham St., Toronto.

He was the start of a Beta tradition. Ead year a lucky undergraduate chosen to livti with Sproul, who headed the e1ght campuses oJ the University of California. Maury passe the honor on to Donald J. Hitchcock, '46, a successful lawyer of Torrance, Calif., who i[ turn passed it on to Robert Rand , '45, now an assistant professor of surgery at the UCLA medical school.

Maury lived with the Sprouls again on the Berkeley campus, where he did a graduate year. (He affiliated with the Omega chapter there. ) He taught American history for a year at the University of Notre Dame, then decided that his destiny lay in the priesthood He was ordained by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen m 1953 and · was assigned to the Paulist Fathers' Church near the UCLA campus. Catholic Betas attended the church and became acquainted with l Father Maury, who often dropped into the chapter house for visits. He was speaker at the 1955 initiation banquet. He also attended the 1953 Beta Convention at Pasadena

He recently was prime mover in establishment of annual Robert Gordon Sproul Trophie s for public speaking for each of the four campuses of the University of California

In his new assignment , he has found much to keep him busy. Recently he was the guest of Bishop Sheen in New York and attended a telecast of the Bishop's program, "Life is Worth Living " It's only natural that Maury is an admirer of Bishop Sheen, a dramatic example of the vigorous , active life that can be found in the service of the Church.

Rev. James Schwartz

By CARL E. BOLTE, JR., Missouri '51

To BE SuccEsSFUL in our chosen field is a universal desire. But The Reverend James A. Schwartz, Kansas and Colorado, '38, goes that ambition three ·better. This Catholic priest was a nationally-famous athlete, aeronautical authority and naval gunnery specialist before devoting h'is life to his church

Jim Schwartz left home at Salina, Kan. ("a fine Beta town," he boasts) to attend the University of Kansas. There he was initiated into Alpha Nu Chapter. After an outstanding year as a freshman athlete, this 6'1" forward departed with his basketball coach to Colorado University. In only two years of varsity basketball eligibility Jim earned the nickname of "Swisher," All-American honors, and set a conference scoring record that stood for ten years.

Jim left Colorado and athletic fame in 1938 to enter law school at Michigan University . A year later he joined Boeing Aircraft and spent three years in aeronautics. He got a direct commission in the Navy in 1941 and served as an ordnance officer

It was during his tour of duty that Jim Schwartz felt his need. This need was to devote himself to the service of others. So he embarked in a new educational program for still another -and even more successful-career as a sevenyear student in the seminary After 26 years of school, this former aircraft executive, Navy lieutenant, law student, and All-American basketball player had finally arrived He was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest-his final and most rewarding position.

A visit with Father Brother (or is it Brother Father?) Schwartz is an enjoyable experience

You'll be greeted with a warm smile from a man whose appearance cheats the calendar. There's a pair of sparkling eyes behind rimless glasses. You'll see that he is in athletic trim at 170 pounds (he explains that golf does it, but , you have to ask to learn that the score .is a c?nsistent 75). Chances are, too, that thts active priest will have his sleeves rolled up .

Jim's modesty and keen awareness direct the conversation to everything but his interesting life. But you'll get his informed opinions on many subjects. It could be golf ("Middlecoff has the most potential , and he's a fine guy"), basketball ("who knows what happened to KState") , Navy ("I enjoyed the Blue and Gold") , philosophy ("I like living , don't you?") , theatre

for JUNE , 1958

("My Fair Lady-an excellent musical") , baseball ("the Yanks are weaker , but still tough"), or you-name-it ("the whole concept of physics has changed").

Father Schwartz is happy as director of Catholic Youth Activities in Kansas City. And Kansas City is grateful for his tremendous contribution to the community in this vital role "I hope to stay in the parish with the people," the priest comments, and refers to his youth organization as " my 20,000 friends."

Chances are the number is modestly low Jim Schwartz , the priest of many backgrounds, is a Pied Piper of People in his mission of service to others ·

Clarence L. Newton, Wesleyan '02, President of Beta Theta Pi from 1937 to 1940, died May 21, when this issue of the Beta Magazine already was in type. He would have been 81 next July 31. Trustee of the Fraternity and of its Baird and Founders Funds as well as of Wesleyan University for many years, the well-loved "Beta Bishop of New England" made contributions to Beta Theta Pi too significant for a hasty press-time accounting. A full tribute will appear in the October issue.

Iota's Oldest Member

By DoNALD DHONAU, Hanover '58

Oh, start the Loving Cup around, it speaks of other days; We see the milestones backward run, when on this cup we gaze

THESE WORDS CERTAINLY must echo in the memory of Dr. Walter L. Riley, Hanover. as he reviews his past life and the assoc1atwns of our great Fraternity.

Brother Riley, now approaching his 9lst year, has devoted his life to the Christian ministry. For more than 55 years he has followed his calling in the Baptist tradition, both as a minister and as a teacher . He has continued his devotion and active interest in Iota Chapter. In our own small way, we of Iota wish to express our tribute to an accomplished person who is the chapter's oldest living member .

Brother Riley was born July 25, 1867, on a farm in Boone County, Ky., about fifteen miles from Covington . Youngest of nine children, he now is the only survivor. When he was three, the family settled in a small farm community, raising general crops and tobacco to meet bills for groceries , clothing and other needs.

The county school which Brother Riley attended was scarcely one half mile from their home. It was in session five months during the winter and three months in the summer for smaller children Teachers then were not required to have any certificate. They were paid largely by the parents of the children in school. McGuffey's "blue back" readers were used. No grades or records were kept All the children attended school until they were needed for work at home.

His mother's family were Quakers , living in Pennsylvania Her relatives had founded what is now Swarthmore College , as an academy for their daughters. Walter ' s brother, W B. Riley , who later founded Northwestern School of Minneapolis , had been graduated from Hanover College; he encouraged Walter to enroll there.

Shortly after entering Hanover , he was initiated into our Beta Theta Pi. Of those days, he recalls that " the dear old Betas graciously trimmed off my rough corners and greatly deepened and refined those qualities by which, in my long ministry, I have won several thousand to a faith in our Lord and Savior ."

As his life's work was to be a Baptist minister, Brother Riley left Hanover in 1887 to at-

tend the Baptist College at Franklin , where he was graduated in 1889 While there, he was elected president of two student debating societies, the Athenian and the Oratorical. Upon graduation, Brother Riley entered the Southern Seminary at Louisville. For his graduate work there, Franklin awarded him the M.A. Degree. Ordained in June, 1891, he continued his study at Morgan Park seminary in Illinois. Here he received a B.D. degree in 1892, the same year in which the University of Chicago was • founded, taking as its theological department the faculty of Morgan Park .

Years later, while serving as a pastor of Highland Baptist Church in Portland , Ore. , he was asked to join the faculty of the newlyestablished Western Baptist Seminary. There he taught Biblical Archaeology and Evangelism seven years. The seminary conferred the honorary Doctor of Divinity degree upon him in 193(:1.

In recent years Brother Riley has been in poor health. He now resides in Napa, Calif.,

Dr. Walter L. Riley, Hanover 1 889

in a fine Old People's Home under the care of his son Dr. Gordon Riley. "So in the sunset of life," he says, "I go on to meet the Dear Lord that gave Himself on Calvary that I might be redeemed by His grace."

It would be most unfortunate, in a tribute such as this, to omit Brother Riley 's philosophy on college fraternities . We are sure that all would agree that this concluding statement of his has as much to say to each member of Beta Theta Pi as it means to him. It would be well for each Beta to heed it earnestly and think on its implications:

I am certain that the originators of a college fraternity such as the Betas did not

view life from the standpoint of the self being its cente1·. Rather they viewed life as a gift from the Father. He put us here to glorify Him, which is best done through our fellow-men. Our fellows are here to contribute to that end. As I majored in making life richer and more abundant for others, I found, to my surprise, the same treasurers therein for myself. Human society is as a fertile field, which needs the cultivation of love, kindness, and service. It is a natural law that "like seeks likeand like begets like." All growth is based on this fact, along with the necessity for rooperation.

KENYON COLLEGE LOSES an important figure through retirement this June, but he will stay in the harness for Beta Theta Pi.

Robert B. Brown, Kenyon 'll , has been Beta Alpha chapter's chapter counselor since January 1942. In that time he has been secretary of the college , vice president for development, college vice president and for three months of the current school year, acting president of the college.

During these years also, he and Mrs. Brown have known and befriended more than 200 Kenyon Betas. He has been an inspiration and guiding hand for the Kenyon chapter. He spearfor JUNE, 1958

The Commencement Week banquet at which Beta Alpha undergraduates and alumni will honor Brown's many years of service to the Fraternity and to the college will be the second major Beta event for him the current semester. The first was a dinner February 18, at which he was awarded his Fraternal Fifties card by William 0. Littick, Ohio Wesleyan '50, Chief of District XII. Guests on that occasion included Dr. Raymond D. Cahall, Kenyon 'OS, who was a senior when Brown was pledged. Dr. Cahall received his Fraternal Fifties card in 1953 and retired from the Kenyon faculty in 1957.

Looking back over his years of Beta membership, Brother Brown cited as one of the most important Beta qualities "the fact that you feel you are · backed by a group of the finest men on campus who sympathize with you and understand your ambitions."

"In addition ," he said, "my years as an officer here at the college have been made many times more enjoyable by the contact I have had with the young men who have been Betas here." (W. HARLEY HENRY, '59, Chapter Secretary)

Michigan State University's new ruling on an automatic retirement age for housemothers brought protest from the Betas that "this just can't apply to our Mrs. Scott." The Administration granted a oneyear reprieve. Now that is gone, and Mrs. Maud Scott must leave us at the end of the spring term. She is truly great. She has helped the Betas a great deal. We are sorry to lose her, and we offer her our heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude, with our best wishes for the future. But as one of her last official acts for us, we have asked that she write an article for The Beta Theta Pi on her nine years as a housemother for Beta Theta Pi.-Robert Bowman, Michigan Stole '60.

By MRS. MAUD F SCOTT

JusT To BE a Beta Theta Pi Housemother!

After 39 years of teaching, I was urged by my son to be a part of Michigan State's plan to place housemothers in each fraternity house on campus.

In June, 1949, I went to the Administration Building and volunteered to become a housemother . The Counselor of Men sent for Robert Youngman, president of a local fraternity, Beta Tau , which he said hoped to become a chapter of Beta Theta Pi. Bob took me to the Beta Tau house. At first sight of the little room overflowing with the belongings of President Bob and his colleagues , and my mind said, "Oh, no! Impossible!"

That is, until Bob Youngman, after some extended discussion of the group's plans and hopes, suddenly leaned across the small shelflike table and said, "Mrs. Scott, won't you come and be our housemother?"

That did it, though he says it really was the pair of cardinals that appeared in the pine tree just outside the window. The decision made then, regardless of all the ups and downs since, has been most rewarding-so rewarding that I hope some day to try recapturing those ups and downs in creative writing.

Came September, and I pushed through a rubble of baggage, furniture and tools to that same room-and gasped. Somehow , the se r vices of an interior decorator , brought. to the campus from Detroit to do some new women's dormitories, had been commandeered. The transformation was impressive. Sheer pride and gratitude carried me triumphantly past all the drawbacks. I realized I was a real member of the group.

"Member of the group " is not used lightly. On the coldest nights, I would fare forth at coffee-break time, in anything but shiny new chariots, for coffee and sandwiches. Sometimes, I gave up my room for group study Having

been an English teacher, I corrected themes, typed and helped with punctuation and spell- · ing. I went on serenades and to athletic events. I even learned something about bowling. Thus • I came to know my new family, a fast-growing one whose members have achieved success ali i over the nation.

Poor as we were in those days, it was , gratifying to see how much these young men 1 c worked together for things they wanted, and to c share their real thrill in the realization of what I teamwork can mean. Teamwork made the hard- c est, grubbiest jobs acceptable to them-and to 1 their housemother. - o

I was already on my way toward being a 1 deeply proud housemother by the time "Going o National" in 1950 found me seated among Beta Greats in Michigan State's huge banquet hall. This occasion, on which the local Beta 1 Tau fraternity became the Gamma Psi chapter

Gamma Psi's Mrs. Scott

of Beta Theta Pi, gave new meaning to some of those obstacles these young men and I had battled together.

I have watched my Betas graduate, many with high honors to find important places in the world of business. Homecoming events have brought many of them back; service stints have meant letters from far-off places, and even now, letters from coast to coast.

When the foundations of the old Delta Street residence literally crumbled beneath us , the General Fraternity made possible our moving into this "Bogue Street Paradise." With the

winding Red Cedar as a boundary , Canadian geese and lusty-voiced Mallards for neighbors, trees and shrubbery for treasured shade and privacy, all was at peace .

Again I saw teamwork of real significancethat "do it yourself" proclivity that spells America itself. These presen setbacks and temporary hardships are but proof that these Betas whom I shall be leaving this June in substance, shall we say, do have on call the mettle of those who bade me so gallant a welcome in 1949.

istrict Conclaves

Districts I & II

Joseph J. Romoda, St Lawrence '33, and over one hundred alumni and undergraduates braved an unexpected snowstorm to attend the ew England Conclave and Dorg held at !Brown University March 15 . Deleg ates from mherst, Bowdoin , Brown, Maine, MIT, Weseyan and Williams met in conclave and came up with constructive programs aimed at imroving each chapter. Each committee was asby able alumni who contributed immeasurably.

The .conclave was · topped off by the 79th nnual New England Dorg with Romoda deivering one of the finest talks the organization has known. He touched briefly on scholarship, then moved into the subject of what chapters can do to improve the attitudes of the public and insure the future of fraternities. owdoin College for the second consecutive ear won the Roger Wolcott Memorial Scholarhip Plaque The plaque is awarded annually o that New England chapter which shows the greatest scholastic improvement.

The conclave could not have been so successul without the guidance and preparation given by Eric Brown, Brown '58, president of Kappa chapter . He was praised by all present for his efforts and for the excellence of the arrangeents. Alumni who contributed time, ideas and work included Harry M . Easton, Jr. , Pennsy lvania '26; Wolcott, Dr . K. Roald Bergethon, ePauw '38, Dean of the College at Brown; rank 0. Stephens, Maine '48; Harry M. aston III, Maine '52; Maxwell Burry, Maine 57 , and Dr. Romoda , dean at St. Lawrence and Scholarship Commissioner of the Fraterrnity.

The conclave at Lehigh the weekend of IMarch 15-16 attracted good representation from each of the chapters at Dickinson, Pa ., land Pennsylvania State as well as the host chapter. We had a great time and got considerable ork accomplished. At a banquet in the chapter house the principal speaker was Charles H. Goddard , Ohio '27, one of a dozen or more Goddards in the Beta clan He i!l vice president of Thomas A. Edison Industries. A dance at the chapter house followed this banquet. The for JUNE, 1958

District XVI's First Conclave

At the Convention last August, the new District Chief, Francis M. (Chub) Rich, Illinois '24, was informed by representatives from his four schools, Michigan, Michigan State , Knox and Illinois, that to their knowledge there had never been a conclave for District XVI.

Rich knew that in the past few years, chapters have suffered in their contact with th General Fraternity because the previous Chief have been unable to visit each chapter regu larly. He felt that a conclave would be one o the ways to help bring the four chapters together. He assigned Paul Uhlenhop, '58, from Illinois as chairman of a district clave committee, including Robert Weise, Kno '58, Burton Jansen, Michigan State '59, an1 James R. Mosby, Jr., Michigan '59.

IN BETA TRADITION

It was late afternoon on January 7 when a Navy Crusader jet fighter, went out of control at low altitude over a residential district near Moffett Field, Calif . Barely missing the nearby highway, the pilot regained control long enough to aim his fighter for a small clear triangle of land between the highway and a row of houses.

By this time, it was too late to eject himself; Lt. (jg) Wayne Richard Bartley, Iowa State '55, was killed in the crash that sheared telephone poles and exploded the gas tank into flames.

Not more than 250 feet away, a group of ' children had been at play. Yet because of this precise, sacrificial act of Lt. Bartley no one in the congested area was injured. This was the automatic action of a naval officer , Beta and leader of men.

On April 21, 1951 Wayne Richard Bartley was initiated into the Tau Sigma chapter at Iowa State College. From this time until his graduation in architectural engineering, "Bart" was active in fraternity and on campus . He was in charge of building the fraternity float for Veishea, annual Iowa State College open house. As a sophomore, he was named Veishea Worker of the Week. Chapter treasurer as a junior , he handled his job so effectively that he became chapter president in 1954. As president he led and pushed the chapter to near the top in scholarship .

June of 1955 brought his degree in architectural engineering, his Navy commission through NROTC, his marriage to Mardell Squire and their move to Pensacola , Fla. , for his year of basic training. He received his wings at Corpus Christi, Tex., as a full-fledged jet pilot. He bad reported to Moffett only the day before the fatal crash. A son, Wayne Richard Bartley , Jr. , was born five days later.

for JUNE, 1958

The preceding does not tell adequately the impression Bart left on the campus , the fraternity and the officers and men of the Navy . Those with whom he associated found in him a magnetic personality , deep sincerity and the drive and a bilities which make men of hi s caliber leaders wherever they go. Brother Bartley felt a great lo ya lty to Beta Theta Pi and had maintained clo se contact with the Tau Sigma chapter In remembrance and appreciation of Brother Bart's loyalty, Tau Sigma chapter is forming the Wayne Bart ley Memoriaf. He will long be remembered by many, and I am sure his son Wayne , Jr. , will follow in the Beta tradition of his father. (RoGER BRYAN, Iowa State '61, Alumni
