THE MEN IN THE SERVICE The men in the service—we'll give them a thought, The friends who are absent today; They are off with our colors, they have faced our foes, And driven our perils away.

The men in the service—we'll give them a song, To cheer them wherever they go; For their step will be light and their spirits rise high, If the love of a comrade they know.

The men in the service—we'll give them a vow Of loyalty, stronger than steel; We are with them and for them, wherever they go, And we pledge it with sign and with seal.

The men in the service—we'll give them a prayer, We'll ask that wherever they roam, Their Keeper will give them.victorious strength, And bring them in safety back home.

HISTORICAL SKETCH The historical genesis of Oglethorpe University takes us back to the middle of the eighteenth century when, under the leadership of Presbyterian men, Princeton College was founded in New Jersey and rapidly became the institution largely patronized by the young men from Presbyterian families all over the nation. After a while the long distances which must be traveled by stage or on horseback suggested the building of a similar institution under the auspices of Presbyterianism in the South.

The movement began with the spring meeting of Hopewell Presbytery in the year 1823, and eventuated in the founding of a manual training school. This, in turn, became Oglethorpe College in 1835 when Midway Hill, in the suburbs of Milledgeville, the then capital of the state of Georgia, was chosen for the location of the institution. Old Oglethorpe College was thus the first denominational college or university between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans south of the Virginia line, and of a right claimed to be the Alma Mater of all that brilliant company of institutions which were born after her in this vast empire.

The facilities of the old Oglethorpe were adequate for the time. The main building was probably the handsomest college structure in the Southeast when it was erected arid "contained the finest college chapel in the United States not excepting Yale, Harvard, or Princeton."

In the faculty of the institution may be found the names of men who are world famous. Among these were Joseph Le Conte, the great geologist; James Woodrow, the brilliant scientist and devoted Christian; Samuel K. Talmadge, the eminent administrator, and many others. It is, perhaps, the

40

THE STAR AND LAMP

chief glory of the old Oglethorpe that, after four years of instruction, she graduated Sidney Lanier in the famous class of 1859 and that he was a tutor to her sons until the spring of '61, when, with the Oglethorpe cadets, he marched away to the war. Shortly before his death Lanier, looking back over his career, remarked to a .friend that the greatest moral impulse of his life had come to him during his college days at Oglethorpe, through the influence of Dr. Woodrow. Her other eminent alumni include governors, justices, moderators of the General Assembly, discoverers, inventors, and a host of honest, industrious, and superb laborers for the highest ideals of humanity.

Oglethorpe "died at Gettysburg" for during the war her sons were soldiers, her endowment was in Confederate bonds, and her buildings, used as barracks and hospital, were later burned. An effort was made to revive the institution in the • 70's and to locate it in Atlanta, but the evils of reconstruction days and financial disaster made the adventure impossible and unsuccessful, and after a year and a half of struggle the doors were closed for the second time.

Only five years have elapsed since a new campaign was begun and they have been years of financial disaster and utter turmoil, yet the assets and subscription pledges of Oglethorpe University are fast approaching the sum of a million dollars, as the result of the most unusual and self-sacrificing liberality on the part of over 5,000 people.

The corner stone of Oglethorpe University was laid on January 21, 1915, with her trustful motto engraved upon it: "Manu Dei Resurrexit. (By the Hand of God She Has Risen from the Dead.)"

So it came to pass that Oglethorpe University after a fifty years' rest beneath the gray ashes of fratricidal strife rose to breathe the later airs of a new day. Her first building, constructed of granite trimmed with limestone, covered with slate and as near fireproof as human skill can make it, was ready for occupancy in the fall of 1916, when her first class gathered on her beautiful campus on Peachtree Road. A faculty equal to that of any cognate institution in the country has been formed. The work of raising funds goes steadily on. Ground has been cleared for a second building, which will be corn-

menced shortly. And all of this has been done in the midst of financial disaster that darkened the spirit of the whole nation, and against the evil influences of a colossal war, which caused the very joints of the world to gape. .FOUNDING OF PI CHAPTER

In 1916-17 an attempt was made to establish a chapter at Oglethorpe University through Brother Edwards of Alpha.

This attempt failed through lack of time.

During 1917-18 Bro. Chester Reeves of Alpha and Bill Randolph of Omicron started a movement through a friend of the latter's, Lester McClung. When both Brothers Reeves and Randolph were called out of town, Bro. L. Y. Dawson, Jr., of Iota assumed the duties.

After considerable work, McClung was prevailed on to take the matter up, and soon had a fine set of fellows in line.

They met and formed a club for the purpose of petitioning Pi Kappa Phi. Early in April they met with Brother Dawson and a petition was formulated and sent in through the proper channels.

Meanwhile, Iota, ably seconded by Alpha, Eta, and Lambda, had paved the way for the petition, so that it was accepted and a charter granted. The officers of Iota, Carswell, Dawson, Carreker and Setze, were appointed installing officers and the date of installation was left to their discretion.

The seventeenth of May was chosen on account of the Tech-Georgia games, which Lambda proposed to attend in a body. At eight o'clock the initiation of Oglethorpe men was begun at Iota's chapter-house at 9 East North Avenue, Atlanta, Georgia. These men were Lester McClung of Florida, Joe Wilson and Harry Metcalf of Alabama, D. C. McNeill and J. M. McNeill of North Carolina, S. H. Gilkerson and A. F. Laird of Georgia.

Immediately after the initiation the officers of Pi Chapter were elected and Lester McClung chosen archon, Joe Wilson, treasurer, Harry Metcalf, grapter.

The following night a banquet was held at the Ansley Hotel in honor of Pi Kappa Phi's newest chapter, Georgia Pi. Brothers from Eta, Lambda, and Iota joined hands in welcoming the boys of Pi to our midst: LOUIS YOUNG DAWSON, /ON.

ROBERT GAYLE NIMOCKS, GEORGIA IOTA First Lieut. Robert Gayle- Nimocks was born at Fayetteville, North Carolina, November 19, 1895. When the call to arms was sounded Brother Nimocks was a senior at Georgia Tech and immediately after his graduation entered an officers' training camp in company with fellow-students of his graduating class. He received his commission, but requested a transfer to the air service and was trained in that branch at Atlanta, Georgia, Memphis, Tennessee, and Dallas, Texas.

May 20, 1918, Lieutenant Nimocks sailed for France, and trained as a flight lieutenant there. It was at the time of his last flight before going to the front that he met with sudden, yet not an unexpected death. Flying at an altitude of 3,000 feet, near Caioux, Gironde, France, his plane was seen to collapse, both wings falling from the body of the plane.

The body was taken to Bordeaux and interred in St. Gene's cemetery to await removal to America, as soon as arrangements can be made.

Brother Nimocks is survived by a wife, Mrs. Evelyn M. Nimocks, and an infant daughter, Minnie Gayle Nimocks, both of Winston Salem, North Carolina; a sister, Mrs. Thomas Galling, who resides in Arkansas; and three brothers, George T. Nimocks, of Wilmington, North Carolina, and Capt.

Alfred Nimocks and David R. Nimocks, both in France.

A promising aviator, a fearless and intelligent candidate for the dangers of the firing line, our friend and brother sleeps beneath the French lilies. Of him, as of the thousands of others who paid the supreme sacrifice, it may be said that he answered the call of his country with veneration and love.

His honorable and distinguished departure reflects credit upon his family, upon his country, and we are proud to assume a portion of the honor. Long may his name live as a monument to his chapter and his fraternity.

His loved ones have the sincere sympathy of the Supreme Council, the individual chapters, and the fraternity as a whole.

THE STAR AND LAMP OUR READJUSTMENT AT HAND

Three years ago the world was horrified by the exercises of cruel, barbarous, and uncivilized practices of warfare, and the

sensibilities and human sympathies of the majority of our people were taxed to the limit. Ere 1917 was well begun our own beloved country was submerged by the wave of international conflict and the. manhood of America was weighed in the balance.

The result, the spirit of 1776 in obedience to the precept of principles, need not be considered further. There was not a lack of men, and we are proud to chronicle the fact that statistics go to prove that fraternity men were high in the percentage of service stars.

The call to arms witnessed an exodus of men from the active chapters of every fraternity, be it national or local, to such an extent in many cases that chapter-houses were abandoned and chapter treasuries depleted. But there has been and shall be no complaint upon this score.

We, of Pi Kappa Phi, being but fourteen years in age and experience, had not the alumni reserve force to assume the burdens of finance and management. Our fraternity lifeblood, as well as that of every fraternity organized within the twentieth century, was taxed more severely than that of those who had existed long before us. Many of those who went from our midst have paid the price, that the dark and evil spirits of malice and greed, national envy and sullen hatred might be overcome by international peace and equity.

We mourn for the golden stars, but while we mourn we are lifted up by the achievements which they represent, and by the grand heroism with which our brothers met their death.

It remains for the balance of world power to establish and perpetuate the principles of free government, and let us hope that the universe, in passing through the perils of the present, will settle down upon principles consonant with popular rights more permanent than heretofore.

As our men of the service return to us, many of them to resume active interest in the chapters, we observe the lifeblood of the fraternity coursing anew. But one issue of your fraternity journal has appeared since the summer of 1917.

A

MESSAGE TO FRATERNITY MEN

45

There has been no convention held since that time. We do not face a reconstruction, but a readjustment is at hand.

Conditions at Davidson called for the action of our Eminent Supreme Archon and a charter has been surrendered; we have lost one of our pioneer chapters,. North Carolina Epsilon.

But, to offset this loss, we have introduced to us in this issue Georgia Pi, of Oglethorpe University,- at Atlanta. Judge for yourself as to our great gain in the addition of this chapter.

Other applications for chapters will be considered during the coming months and we earnestly hope that we may choose aright in the selection of the baby chapters whom the good fraternity stork will bring to our roll.

We must not be concerned in expansion alone. Let us as well divert a portion of our attention to the improvement of that which we already have at hand. Let us further our systematization, and prepare to march forward into the front ranks of the line of recognition. •

TREASURY

DEPARTMENT—Bureau

of the Public Health

Service, Washington A MESSAGE FROM THE SURGEON GENERAL TO THE FRATERNITY MEN OF AMERICA The war proved two things which I desire to bring in this conspicuous manner to your attention.

(I) The priceless value to the nation of its young manhood, especially its educated manhood.

(2) The ghastly and unsuspected toll taken from America's manhood by venereal disease.

Our army was the cleanest in the war, and its clean record had not a little to do with its morale and its fighting effectiveness. Yet General Gorgas stated that even if the, commanding general could lay aside all question of morality, he would probably choose the eradication of venereal disease rather than the prevention of wounds.

The critical period which the nation now faces must depend even more upon the integrity of educated manhood, which American college fraternities hold as their ideal, and of which they furnish such conspicuous examples.

I naturally turn to you, therefore, at this time in a definite appeal and request that every fraternity and every jurisdiction and member thereof go on record, not only as insisting upon compliance with the fraternity's own highest standards of physical integrity, but as actively though unobtrusively exerting influence in support of the Federal campaign against the venereal diseases.

Respectfully, RUPERT BLUE, Surgeon General Each chapter is requested to have the above message read in chapter meeting or posted in the chapter rooms, and to take appropriate action.

EDITORIALS Unprecedented conditions interfered with the progress and expansion which our fraternity might have experienced during the two years past. War and disease have combined to play havoc with all institutions, and ours has been no exception.

The coming months must not be allowed to pass without heroic efforts on the part of every loyal Pi Kapp to make good the losses suffered during the past two years.

Numbers are by no means everything in the activities of the fraternity. We must not sacrifice character and quality for a cheap and superficial popularity.

There must be devotion to the standards of our fraternity, enterprise and aggressive determination to win. Each chapter will have its own situation to meet, and has been confronted with its own difficulties in the past. There is no lack of plans, no want for methods to use in any and all emergencies. Bend to it, brothers. *

Three years ago this spring the present Editor issued a catalogue supplement to the May issue of THE STAR AND LAMP. Providing that we do not receive instructions to the contrary from the E. S. A., the same plan will be followed in the May issue or the next following issue. Chapter grapters, prepare a complete list of all members of your chapter, for, if we have not already, we shall be calling upon you in the near future for a corrected catalogue list of your chapter membership to date. *

The subscription list of the magazine is growing very encouragingly. The matter of soliciting subscriptions is entirely in the hands of the business manager, Bro. J. Cozby Byrd, Iota, who is now located in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

You who are today chapter men will become alumni ere long.

Back in former days when we were at the helm of the magazine, we were hot on the trail of the alumni chapters.

Alumni chapters add to the pep and enthusiasm of a fraternity.

Columbia, South Carolina, Atlanta, and Charleston have at various times boasted of alumni chapters. We hope they are still active, but cannot state that they are. Is it not possible that we may hear of a Charlotte, a Spartanburg, a Greenville, a Lincoln, or a San Francisco Alumni Chapter soon? And, should any of these be in existence, is it not their duty to make themselves known at once? *

*

*

Georgia Pi is the baby chapter at present, and from the chapter letter we judge them to be a very live and energetic unit. With the present prospects in view it will be but a short time that Georgia Pi will bear the title of the infant chapter.

There are others to be brought into the fold. *

*

*

If you have any drones in your chapters, men, get behind them. Push them into the zone of activity. In time of battle and scenes of conflict it is said that the fellow who was a coward becomes an unusual fighter. Likewise the drone may be made an unusual worker.

Refrain from harboring the thought that the life and existence of your chapter, of the fraternity as a whole, is dependent upon the work of your fellow chapter men, of the Supreme Council and the Supreme Chapter. You are equally responsible with every other Pi Kappa Phi. It is only when you carelessly slip from under that responsibility that the other man assumes it.

Again we look forward to a convention. Our Kappa friends and brethren, the men of Mu and Zeta, will be in the majority, it is more than probable. Charlotte, North Carolina, is the place designated for the assembly. Charlotte is Henry G.

(Jr.) Harper's town. At the last convention Henry promised us that Charlotte was a grand place. Here's hoping that Henry is thereabout at the time of the convention. *

How many of the chapters are using the official whistle, call, and answer? One was adopted at the last convention.

If you do not know it, write the editor of THE STAR AND LAMP. Both the words and music will be sent. *

Each active chapter should proceed to elect an alumnus editor. Bro. Louis Y. Dawson, Georgia Iota, 320 West Peachtree Street, Atlanta, has been appointed Managing Editor. It will be one of his several duties to superintend the alumni and exchange departments. Those chapters not active should possess some alumnus who receives the magazine, who is willing to contribute notes of interest relative to his chapter men.

50

THE STAR AND LAMP BETWEEN US AND THE GATEPOST WHEREBY THE EDITOR WISHES TO TALK WITH THE CHAPTERS

Alumni news is being handled under an entirely new plan for THE STAR AND LAMP. Each chapter letter is followed by the news of alumni pertinent to that chapter. News of alumni of suspended chapters or those having no letters follows under a general heading. Bro. Louis Young Dawson, Iota, has been appointed Alumni Editor-in-chief. Each chapter. should procure the services of an active member, or an alumnus who is willing and competent, so that each issue will offer an abundance of alumni news.

During the two years of enforced lethargy, due to the absence of so many of the active members, alumni, and officers in the service of their country, there have been deaths within our ranks. We hope that the chapters will arrange with the relatives that we may have an obituary of each of the deceased members at least, if not a photo for reprint. Heed us on this call, please.

Previous to being reinstated in the capacity of Editorin-chief we were engaged in getting up data for the new issue of Baird's Manual, which will appear within the year. The duty was a greater one than we had suspected it to be. We began by writing individual letters to three or four of the chapters, calling for a catalogued membership of the chapter to date. That was of necessity abandoned that we might proceed with the more important duty of editing your beloved journal. Now your chapters are again on firm footings and it is not amiss that you should review your minutes for your own sakes as well as for ours. The chapters which have not already sent in a complete detailed list of members, active and alumni, from the date of installation of the chapter to the present time, will please perform that duty. In getting up your list, give mention of all deceased brethren and indicate each man who has been in the service, stating the branch and unit.

There seems to be a difference of opinion as to the proper time for holding the convention.. The place is a settled fact, Charlotte, North Carolina. Some favor June, immediately

following the close of the college year. Others maintain that Christmas vacation is better, with the point in view that the 'chapters will have been better established and running more smoothly by that time. Personally it is our view that the summer date is by far the best at any rate, for any and all conventions. First, our California Gamma brothers can ill afford to make the round trip across the continent and possibly be unable to devote time enough for the entire period of the convention. This same argument is true in part with Nebraska N. Second, the delegates from the chapters, whoever they may be, sacrifice the Christmas vacation which they might have, and no doubt prefer to have, spent with their families and friends at home. Nevertheless, we hesitate to place our personal opinion in opposition to those who have more of the general welfare of the fraternity in view. We shall abide by such decision as shall be made by the Supreme Council.

The Editor-in-chief is very desirous that the fraternity stationery shall be uniform, both for the supreme officers and the chapters. The matter has been sanctioned by the Supreme Archon, Supreme Grapter, and Supreme Treasurer and we are immediately setting about the production of a supply sufficient to satisfy any and all demands. Literature will be sent to the officers and chapters giving a sample sheet of the stationery and prices. The profit, if there be any, will revert to the fraternity treasury. We are interested in the matter from the standpoint of progress and uniformity rather than personal gain.

The chapter correspondents should be on the qui vive during the summer for such news as they may be able to obtain for the fall issue. News will be somewhat scarce at the time, so prepare it in advance. More about this in next issue, which we are beginning to prepare immediately after sending this issue to the publisher.

Not a poem, just a rhyme: Yet in these four short lines Kipling has embodied the essence of true poetry as the ruling principle of democracy. In war time we call it "doing our bit." Whether it be fighting, working as "the man behind the gun," accomplishing our share of the woman's war work, or merely doing the homely every day tasks that lie close at hand. It is the principle for which in 1776 our forefathers risked their all, and won; and it is the principle which has

Editor Seaman of The Rattle of Theta Chi offers this sound and worthy advice to the chapters of Theta Chi. We do not know of any chapters in Pi Kappa Phi that should take the article as a direct hint to them, but if there is any semblance of outdoor publicity to any of our initiations, this should be sufficient argument against the practice.

In one of the metropolitan cities recently more or less commeni was made in the daily newspapers upon the fact that a college fraternity, in the course of its initiation, had its members do all sorts of stunts in the main business section of the city. The comment of most papers was not to the credit of the fraternity in question. It has always seemed to us that such actions on the part of fraternities are entirely uncalled for and we are very glad to note that in the past few years outdoor public initiation had been done away with by practically all of the fraternities. It does not reflect credit upon any fraternity to have its members appear ridiculous in the eyes of the American people.

We never hear of any such organizations as the Masons, the K. of P., etc., holding any outdoor public initiations, which would tend to ridicule them in the opinion of the observer. That is exactly what a fraternity does when "pulling off some stunts" in public. We earnestly trust that none of our chapters will make this mistake. *

The following from The Tomahawk of A 4 , goes to prove that Editor Chapin does not approve of Bolshevism.

We offer this exchange note for its value as a comment on current thought.

Bolshevism is as great a menace to the peace and prosperity of the world as the dream of absolute dominion indulged in by Wilhelm the Failure and his German subjects. We are told that it is the agitators of foreign birth that are responsible for the propaganda that is being disseminated in America, and that it is planned to banish them in toto.

But our laws prevent the banishment of native born or those of foreign birth who have been here five years or longer. It is absolutely necessary that some legislation to protect society from this contagion should be enacted without delay. The man who would

NEWS ITEMS

55

undermine the home, subvert the law, uproot civilization, and destroy society should be treated as a private and public enemy as much as the man who upholds a doctrine of foreign aggression with weapons of destruction. We do not hesitate to war upon the latter. Why should we hesitate to war upon the former? The latitude given to liberty, free speech, and free press should never be extended to permit a social parasite to dominate his selfish and unholy will upon the peaceloving man respecting members of society. If banishment will not reach the native born agitator, then the firing squad or hangman's noose should be injected into the situation to clean society of its vultures and sworn enemies. Security in peace is as necessary as security in war. And those who war upon us should expect in turn to be warred upon. Let us abolish Bolshevism by turning back upon itself its weapons of destruction, but let it be done under the forms of law and according to its orderly procedure. *

NEWS ITEMS TAKEN FROM EXCHANGES AND "BANTA'S GREEK EXCHANGE"

J. Wilbur Chapman, famous as an evangelist the world over, died in New York City on Christmas morning of 1918.

Reverend Chapman was a Phi Gamma Delta.

Kappa Delta has established Psi Chapter at Lawrence College, Appleton, Wisconsin.

Phi Delta Theta has entered the University of Missouri.

Consul Glazebrook, American consul to Jerusalem, is an Alpha Tau Omega. •

Alpha Tau Omega established Delta Zeta of Alpha Tau Omega at Washington University, St. Louis, October 21, 1918.

Frank W. Scott, of Champaign, Illinois, is the new editor of The Alpha Tau Omega Palm. Former Editor Reno occupied the editorial chair for twelve years. The loss of Ex-editor Reno from the active service of Alpha Tau Omega is lamented by The Scroll of Phi Delta Theta in the following notice: It is with deep and lasting regret that we note the retirement of Claude T. Reno, of Allentown, Pa., who has edited the Palm for over

12 years. During that long period he has ably conducted the magazine and contributed largely to the fraternity's growth and success. A T can ill afford to lose such a leader. In every generation no fraternity raises up more than a few such men.

The University of Wisconsin lost a powerful factor when President Charles R. VanHise was summoned by death on November 19, 1918.

It is interesting to note that E is the only fraternity established at Lawrence College; X, the only one at New Mexico; A X A, the lone one at Oklahoma A. and M. College; A 4) is the only national fraternity at Thiel College; and A T ,f2 at Muhlenburg College.

Phi Gamma Delta has three new college presidents in Dr. Trotter of West Virginia University, Dr. Hoffman of Ohio Wesleyan, and Mr. Ladd of North Dakota Agricultural College.

This list shows that, during the last three years, these 38 fraternities have established 163 chapters, an average of over 4. A few chapters have died—those suspended on account of the war being indicated by astericks.—Scroll of 4, 0.

WHAT THE MEN SAID When I asked them: "What does your fraternity mean to you, now that you are out of college?"

"It's a decided social asset. It gives one social entree to many decidedly nice places and homes."

"It meant my job. The boss is in my fraternity and from my chapter, too."

"Well, it takes me back to college for reunions. I'd never go back except for the fraternity, because all the fellows I knew in college are scattered all over the globe. But the fellows at the house always make me feel so much at home."

"It gives me the privileges of the club and believe me, I meet some fine men up there. Men who really do things. I never dare say very much, but I do a lot of listening."

"It means my wife. I met her at a brother's home where I was visiting three years ago. We were married last month."

"It means that you can always meet a splendid crowd of men traveling, because your pin is a guarantee not only to your own fraternity men, but to other Greeks."

"It gives you a decided social standing when you are in college circles, as I am a great deal."

"It means more than almost. any other thing I know. Why one day in Paris I wandered around alone and so homesick I thought I'd die.

A fellow came into the restaurant with a pin on his khaki shirt, and believe me I grabbed him by the hand. He was the first fraternity brother I'd met over there but he knew dozens. He gave me their names and I met them all along the line. It was almost like meeting my family."

"It meant meeting two of the finest chaps in the world—in a dugout at that. When I was wounded one of them brought me back He'll never walk again. The other one 'went west.' He wore my pin when we buried him. Gad, he was a prince! And Jim's another.

He gave his leg for me and he'd have given his life if necessary.

You know that verse, don't you? 'Greater love than this hath no man—.'" Psi, '15.—Ag1ain of 4, M.

CHAPTER LETTERS ALPHA CHAPTER, COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON CHAPTER ADDRESS, 4 GREEN ST., CHARLESTON, S. C.

Founded 1904, C. L. Guyton, Jr., Historian Every member of Alpha Chapter was thrilled upon receiving news that THE STAR AND LAMP was to be published again. We have certainly missed it since it was discontinued.

Alpha started the year under very unfavorable conditions, the college being an S. A. T. C. training camp. But, with the five men that returned, we have been able to bring in five others. One of our former members, having been discharged from Camp Wadsworth, returned to us after Christmas.

In October Bro. William J. Bowen, a student at the Medical College of South Carolina, a very active alumnus of 1916, died from influenza, after a very short illness.

On March i President Harrison Randolph left for Washington, D. C., on leaire of absence for eighteen months, to take a position in reconstruction work Prof. N. W. Stephenson is acting president and Prof. R. H. Coleman (K A), an alumnus of 1915, has accepted the chair of mathematics during President Randolph's absence.

For the first time in its history the college has accepted women students. To the upperclassmen it seemed strange to have the girls in their midst, while to the freshmen they are an additional asset to the college. We are pleased to see that the "coeds" are promising students and are highly confident that they will help us to maintain our high scholastic standards.

April 2 will again find Pi Kappa Phi represented in the annual college oratorical contest by George A. Byrd, Jr. We are sure that Brother Byrd will uphold our fraternity's record in this contest.

During February the Kappa Alphas gave their annual dance, which was enjoyed by the entire college, as well as by many town guests.

The Alpha Tau Omegas expect to give their annual ball sometime during the latter part of April.

Stop! Look! Listen! Alpha alumni, Alpha Chapter is going to give a ball on May 9. This, as the men of the smaller chapters will realize, is a difficult undertaking, but the active members are being well backed by their loyal alumni. We intend to make this an annual affair, as we feel that it is a good way in which to make our fraternity known throughout the city and state. We extend a hearty invitation to every Pi Kappa Phi.

The convention was called off this past Christmas due to war conditions. Iota feels strongly the need of a convention in order that Pi Kappa Phi can organize again after the disorder of the war period, and continue her growth as befits a fraternity of her caliber and standing. Iota has many things to bring up in the convention, and is using all her influence to have it held as soon as possible, sometime in June at Charlotte, North Carolina, the place already chosen for the convention.

Iota is well represented in college activities. Bro. Fish Davis is president, and Bro. C. C. Carson is a member of the Skull and Key. Bro. B. Rodriguez is vice-president, while L. Y. Dawson , Jr., and E. H. Havis are members of the "Civil Crew." Bro. G. Mannin g is assistant leader of the famous Tech Band. Bro. L. Y. Dawson , Jr., is exchange editor of the Technique. Brothers Alden, Hucks, and Rice belong to the Emerson Chemical Society.

Iota is planning to have a big banquet during the Tech-Geor gia baseball games in Atlanta, in conjunction with Pi, Eta, and Lambda.

A like banquet last year was so much of a success in promoting fraternal spirit between the chapters that it was agreed to hold a banquet every year. All brothers in Atlanta on that date are invited to attend "Dutch Treat."

Iota wishes all chapters the best of luck and the greatest success in all their undertakings. When in Atlanta, you will find a welcome awaiting you at 9 East North Avenue.

Kappa started active operation immediately, and moved into its new location, a house conveniently situated on the campus in the fraternity row, between the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Nu houses. The house was occupied Wednesday, January 8. That night three new men were initiated, Bros. W. P. Andrews of Charlotte, N. C., a senior; Ralph H. Wilson of Wilsons Mills, N. C., a junior; and Howard E. Fulton of Winston-Salem, N. C., a sophomore. After the initiations and "feed" the members retired to their respective quarters.

At two o'clock in the morning a fire broke out in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house next door and before it could be checked had destroyed the large Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, our house, and the Sigma Nu house. The quick action of the student body saved practically all our furnishings as well as those of the other houses, and prevented a wider spread of the flames.

Kappa was not daunted by this. The next day we moved back into the house we occupied last year, where we have been comfortably located since.

Since moving back we have initiated Bro. Donnell Van Noppen of Greensboro, North Carolina, a sophomore, making a total of four men initiated since the opening. All these men are leaders in campus life and student organizations.

Most important work has been done this quarter. Feeling keenly our increased prestige on the Hill and need of better accommodations here, we have pledged $1,100 in the active chapter, an average of $too a man, which will form the nucleus of a building fund.

On Saturday night, April 5, Kappa is going to be the host to all Kappa alumni at a banquet and get-together meeting to be held in the Yarborough Hotel, Raleigh, North Carolina. At this banquet definite plans will be formed for the building of a new chapter-house which we hope to begin next fall. In our next letter we will inform you more definitely of our campaign's progress.

We are awaiting with almost breathless expectation the arrival of THE STAR AND LAMP, and•consequent news of the fraternity's progress.

We extend to all of the chapters and alumni fraternal greetings.

Fraternally.

LAMBDA CHAPTER, UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA CHAPTER ADDRESS, HOLMAN BUILDING, ATHENS, GA. Founded 1915, G. Hal McWhirter, Historian Lambda extends its best wishes and sincere desire for cooperation with all sister chapters, and joins hands with them to make this a prosperous year for Pi Kappa Phi.

CHAPTER LETTERS

67

It will be remembered that Lambda returned more old men last year than any other •fraternity at Georgia. History repeated itself again this year. Back in September twelve sons of Lambda and two affiliates, Thurmond Hood of Iota and John Adams of Eta, formed our nucleus for unprecedented success in the early stages of the collegiate. Our enthusiasm during the rushing season was heightened by the large number of old men, and we had the greatest success we have ever had at the beginning of the college year.

During the first two weeks of the session we pledged eighteen new men. More discretion and more investigation were required than ever before in selecting the freshmen, as the added military feature, which almost disorganized the college this year, brought many men, who would not have come otherwise. Of the pledged men we initiated fourteen, which made Lambda's working total twenty-nine. We have the best lot of fellows this year that we have ever had. Where another fraternity and Pi Kappa Phi were rushing the same man or men, as was the case with several, Pi Kappa Phi won out in every instance. We claim that we have the pick of the new men in the university.

At the time of the fall opening we were compelled to give up our former house (the finest at Georgia) since no fraternity was allowed to retain its house under the orders of the War Department. We then rented two large, handsome rooms in the new Holman Building up town, and at present we still occupy the rooms, there being no suitable fraternity house available. The splendid house which we have had in the past has spoiled us and we will not accept just anything. • In the beginning fraternity life was handicapped and hindered, not through any fault of the fraternity, however. We have heard numbers of fellows say that we were the most congenial fellows at Georgia.

But fraternalism and brotherhood were at the mercy of a pervading atmosphere of military influence which wrecked all the glorious traditions which hover around the University of Georgia. Now that Georgia has reopened in her former glory, as a college rather than a prep school, we older members have endeavored to demonstrate to the new men what a fraternity is, teaching them our standards and ideals.

It has been our effort to diffuse among them the spirit that goes to cultivate real brotherhood.

Lambda claims, and is anxious for a continuance of, a united fraternity. At present we have seventeen members, every one engaged in laboring for the same purpose, to better know one another and treat one another as brothers. It is true that we have not now many members, but quality is our virtue. The quality of our freshmen must be insisted upon, for they are not to be surpassed. Only recently we brought in two wonderfully valuable fellows and have two more, equally fine, whom we expect to initiate this week. Without doubt this has been the most progressive year Georgia Lambda has ever experienced.

The new men have successfully passed the bars of complete initiation, true and tried brothers in Pi Kappa Phi whom Lambda is proud

At present he seems to have it "cinched."

I am not boasting in saying this, but verifying the fact that Pi Kappa Phi always gets quality rather than quantity. Our three pledges are: George Allen Wooten, LaGrange, N. C.; Noah Rouse, LaGrange, N. C.; and Luther Augustus Lentz, Jr., Raeford, N. C. Though but seven in number we are represented in nearly all of the activities of the college. On the baseball team we have Brother Edens, who is an old varsity man and who needs very little introduction as his showing for Trinity last season, previous to his response to the call of his country, speaks for itself.

Brother Powell is captain of the tennis team, and is showing up in great form this season. If "pep" and enthusiasm count for anything, we certainly ought to put out a championship team this year, due to Powell's untiring efforts. We will have to hand it to Gilbert, for he is putting all he has into this particular phase of athletics this year.

We are not represented in basketball this year, owing to the absence of Brother Long, who was captain of last year's squad. Earle was with us in the fall and helped wonderfully in the capacity of a coach, and we hope to have Brother Wooten (who has somewhat of a .high school "rep" in basketball) to replace Brother Long in this branch.

Brabham is attempting track work this year and we are expecting him to make some marks.

We have four men in the "Tombs" this year. The "Tombs" is a local fraternity organized for the promotion of athletics. Brothers Edens and Powell are old members, while Brothers Brim and Leonard were received into its ranks this year.

The past week has been one of toil for the most of us, especially the 1919 men. But if expectations count for anything, we have run the gauntlet of examinations very successfully.

Mu extends her best wishes to all the chapters for a most successful year.

NU CHAPTER, UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA CHAPTER ADDRESS, 1522 S STREET, LINCOLN, NEB. Founded 1915, Ralph R. Park, Historian Nu Chapter opened last fall with ten old men and was able to keep the chapter-house for the first few months. During this time seven new men were pledged and initiated before being called to the colors. They were; Van Auken, Western; Pegler, Palmyra; Brown, Bertrand; Simpson, Sabetha, Kan.; Matson, Ralph, and Frank Park of Bertrand.

An army unit was organized at the University of Nebraska and it was found impossible to coniinue the house, but chapter-rooms were rented which the men used for a change from barracks life, and were a great help to all the men.

Nu Chapter was well represented in both the army and navy, overseas and at training camps here. Partridge, Crane, Nelson, Fowle, Driver, Anderson, Christensen, Oiler, Garrison, and Scott were overseas. These men met in many peculiar circumstances. Partridge, Crane, Nelson, and Fowle received commissions overseas, while .Ford, Hlava, Catterson, Barker, Devoe, and Clark were commissioned but did not go across. Haverstadt was commissioned in the Navy and at the present time has several years yet to serve.

When some of the men were discharged in the latter part of December, they obtained the house which we, are located in at the

present time. By the beginning of the last semester, we had things in fine running order. We pledged ten new men: Larson, Stromsburg; James, Benedict; Claussen, Beatrice; Stevens, Fremont; Muller, David City; Banta, Stromsburg, and Lessenhop were initiated a short time ago, while Lieut. James Cornish and Lyle Cornish have been pledged since March i, and both hail from Broken Bow. Harry Stevens ran for freshman class president this semester, and was defeated by the very small margin of 215 to 178. His opponent, a very good man, who won the race, is worthy of the position, and although Stevens was defeated we are proud of the fact that he was in the race. He gave his opponent a good run for the money.

Bessey Hall, Social Science, Teachers' College are new buildings nearing completion, while a new building plan is under way to build a new museum, which will cover an entire block and will be six stories in height. Also a new gymnasium, which is a needed improvement, is being planned. This will cost $rtoo,000 and will be modeled after the gymnasium of Northwestern University.

We have eight men as representatives in the annual spring tour of the university over the state. Four of the men are representatives in the band and four in dramatics and chorus.

The men are getting their gloves off the shelves and are preparing for the interfraternity which is next month. We hope to have a fine team.

Nu Chapter is located this semester at 1522 S Street and nothing would please us more than to have you come and get acquainted. It is rather lonesome so far from any other chapter, but we are in hopes that there will be a chapter at Kansas soon.

Fraternity spirit is running high and we wish to extend best wishes for success to all brother Pi Kapps.

NU ALUMNI NEWS

Glancing through the Epworth Herald, a Methodist Episcopal Epworth League publication (the Editor of THE STAR AND LAMP is not a Methodist, but his wife is) the following item was found, which is indirectly concerning Bro. George Odgers, a former Nu enthusiast, and a Pi Kappa Phi who retains the real Pi Kapp spirit although he is thousands of miles away: "The following newly-appointed missionaries sailed from Vancouver, B. C., by steamer "Empress of Asia" February 27: The Rev. L. C. Lewis and Mrs. Lew:s of Homer, Ohio, graduates of Taylor University, and Student Volunteers, for Cawnpore, Northwest India. The other member of the party was Miss Doris Slater of Lincoln, Neb., a graduate of the University of Nebraska, 1917, for Muttra, India.

Upon her arrival she will become the wife of Mr. George Odgers, a teacher in our Methodist School there."

THE STAR AND LAMP XI CHAPTER, ROANOKE COLLEGE

CHAPTER ADDRESS, SALEM, VA. Founded 1916, E. K. Kane, Historian Xi has suffered considerably from the after effects of the "flu" and the S. A. T. C., but, being bottled in bond, we are still going strong.

With regard to getting a house we have been in a "pussy wants a corner" state, but have at last located an excellent home, so that we may start housekeeping next fall in the proper style.

This chapter never did have too many members, but, considering the very unfavorable" conditions at the college, we have the "fat of the land" now. And, what is better, we are fortunate in available loyal alumni when it comes to celebrations. There are five within a radius of eight miles, and they are always present when the time comes to serve the sandwiches. We have nine active men, of whom five are old members from last year.

Xi can boast of the best material in the college. We furnish a good quota in athletics, and in almost every contest since our organization we have been represented in the literary work and contests. We are supplied well with scholars.

Atkins, '19, is a good all-around man who combines two great ideals, marriage and graduation. Chapman, '2o, is our real athlete; he was captain of the varsity football team last year and is also a varsity baseball man. Rust, '20, is a bright little lad with five feet and four incites of good intentions, a scholar and an artist with dry wit.

Erb, '20, is an interested and active worker; he is editor-in-chief of the Annual and a chief of a dozen other activities. Saum, '20, is our Beau Brummel and "Johnnie" is a real sport, being a "lion" among the ladies. Kane, who received his A.B. in '17, returned to college for his A.M., and is not only an earnest student for the ministry, but is every inch a fraternity man. Eley is our musician and a mighty good fellow. Of the three recent initiates, Comer, '20, is the tallest, being head and shoulders above all the other men. Webber, '22, is fullback on the varsity football team. Garis, '21, was a guard on the varsity basketball team and is third baseman on the baseball nine.

Muse, '18, received a commission as an ensign in the U. S. N. He will return to college next fall.

Craft, '18, Noel, '18, and Kane, '17, received commissions in the Army.

Our future prospects are bright indeed. The college, we are told, will have twice the number of students next fall and we are looking forward to an opportunity to make splendid Pi Kapps of some of them.

In the meantime we are making up for our numerical and financial stringencies with a superabundance of "pep."

Fraternally yours, E. K. KANE, Correspondent.

OMICRON CHAPTER, UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA CHAPTER ADDRESS, UNIVERSITY, ALA. Founded 1917, Earle Sanders, Historian Had this letter been written earlier in the year the news from Omicron might have been very discouraging. At the first meeting in September there were only, six present. The next week our archon departed for the Naval Aviation training camp, leaving but five members. These five, however, met the coming rush week with plenty of "pep." We had to give up our house on account of the S. A. T. C., but rented rooms for meetings and rushing.

When rush week closed, on the first of October, we were very glad to announce eight pledges: Aubrey Colquett, Brantley, Ala.; Wm. Bruce Shaw and David Dunn, Montgomery, Ala.; Dewey Acker, Birmingham, Ala.; Hubert Martin, Ozark, Ala,; Joe Pete McBryde, Troy, Ala.; C. C. Counts, Tuscumbia, Ala., and Paul Hooten, Roanoke, Ala. After Christmas several old members returned, upon being mustered out of the service, and some new men were pledged. 0. L. Bland, Abbeville, Alabama, has been initiated and W. D. Ray is pledged.

Brother Burchfield returned from Charleston Naval Aviation School and Bro. Joe McClure from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Chicago. Bro. Pierce Talbott came back to us from Fort Sheridan. Pierce was commissioned second lieutenant at Fort Sheridan, and that is why he bought those leather puttees.

The Y. M. C. A. has organized mass athletics and started contests between the fraternities. The basketball contests have not been completed, but we are very proud of the showing our team has made.

We are planning to enter the tennis tournaments with a determination to win, although no other contests have begun yet. All of the branches of athletics have been entered with much interest and we hope that the "Y" will continue the program. It has afforded us all a great deal of pleasure as well as recreation.

Bro. Steadham Acker paid us a visit and all enjoyed hearing him tell of some of his flights at Pensacola, Florida, where he was stationed.

He promised to return for our dance, which will be given the twentyeighth of March.

Bro. John Havis has returned from France and stopped with us for several days. Omicron was indeed pleased to welcome him back and enjoyed his visit.

Omicron sends best regards to all of the chapters. We are proud we are Pi Kappas and intend to keep up the Pi Kapp pep and shall not tire in working for the fraternity we love so well.

THE STAR AND LAMP PI CHAPTER, OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY CHAPTER ADDRESS, OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY, ATLANTA, GA. Founded 1918, S. H. Gilkeson, Historian

No doubt there are some of you that do not know that we have a chapter here, since THE STAR AND LAMP has not been published for quite a while.

This being a young institution, there were no national fraternities here until we succeeded in getting our chapter last spring. We had a local club of seven members and petitioned the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity for a charter. This was granted just before college was out for summer vacation and we had no time to do anything before leaving.

In the fall a unit of the Students' Army Training Corps was established here, so only five of our seven members returned. We were also hindered a great deal by not having a chapter-house, but took in seven new members anyhow.

The S. A. T. C. was demobilized in December and in January the university opened, offering regular courses. Since that time we have initiated ten more members, making twenty-four altogether.

We elected the officers for the remainder of the year as follows: J. P. Wilson, archon; S. H. Gilkeson, grapter ; A. Durham, treasurer; D. C. McNeill, Jr., chaplain; C. R. Newsom, Jr., doorkeeper.

We do not maintain a chapter-house this year because there are no houses convenient to the campus. We have, however, equipped a large room in the dormitory as a gathering room, in which we hold our weekly meetings. The Iota Chapter at Georgia Tech has been so kind as to allow us the use of their house for our initiations.

We fully intend to have a house next year if we have to build one.

As we were the first fraternity to be established here, we also expect to be the first to get a chapter-house.

We have in our chapter five "letter" men in athletics and will have several more in baseball this spring. We urge all who can possibly do so to go out for some form of athletics.

When any of the brothers are in Atlanta we want them to come out to Oglethorpe and look us up.

With best wishes to all the other chapters, Fraternally yours, S. H. GILKESON, Correspondent.
