The mod el initiation at the Ch icago meeting was a spl endid demonstration of correct exempli fication of our secret work and it served to give the brothers the co rrect manner of r eceiving neophytes into the order. Brother Day, who was in charge of the initiation, thus showed hi s qualifications for the job he has been given.

New Supreme Officers

\ '0 new supreme officers were given th Fraternity by the Thirteenth Suprent Chapter, which elected Brother E lmer N. Turr quist, Upsilon, to the position of Supreme Sec retary and Brother Raymond N ixon to the offic of Supreme Historian. The editor welco111c the e new officials to the Supreme Counci l o behalf of the Fraternity and at the same tir1i pl edges the support and co-operation of th brotherhood in their tasks as officers of th F'raternity.

These brothers take the places of Brothel Geo rge l\L Gra nt and Paul \ iValker, who fo years have serv ed the Fraternity faithfully atl loya ll y. 'l'o them is extended th e appreciatio of the 1~ raternity for what they have clone. I is hoped that Pi Kappa Phi will . till rece ive th benefit of thei1路 interest and of their cuunsc They are true Pi Kapps and they wi ll surel continu e to g ive th e " full measure of their cleVI ti on" for the further advancement of Pi Kap! .l)hi .

Music and Fraternity I Kappa Phi is really and truly headed for definite results in a musical way. The Supreme Chapter meeti ng at Chicago indicated that. ncler th e direction of Brother Fred Sturm of the Chicago Alumni Chapter, a constructive start was made in the gathering of P i Kappi Phi songs. The singing of these songs was emphasized at Chicago and to the mind of the editor thi s was one of th e best things that could have happen ed .

Brother Sturm has gotten off to a flying start and already has accompli shed much. That was amply demonstrated at the Chicago meeting.

Prev ious to the meeting he had coll ected a num ber of Pi Kappa Phi songs, which were printed and the sheets di stributed . He also asked for more compositions and many fine songs were presented to him.

The Supreme Chapter, realizing the valu e and importance of thi s work, has set aside in this budget certain funds for the compilation 路 and publication of Pi Kappa Phi songs. This movement shou.ld receive the whole-hearted support of every singl e chapter. Songs that have been sung around the chapter house should be sent into the central office in order that every bit of mu sical data may be gathered and a truly representative song book published.

To Brother \Vade S. Bolt, the Fraternity should be grateful for hi s untiring efforts at coll ecting songs and arranging them for publication. Like all pioneers, Brother Bolt found the way eli fficult and assistance "skimpy" and rare.

ship ra n clea r a nd strong throughout th e entire sess ions of the '.L'hirteenth Supreme Chapter, held December 28 a nd 30 at th e Hote1 Sherman, Chi cago.

Thi s evidence of true brotherhood was without a doubt more pronounced at the Chicago Supreme Chapter tha n at any other previous gathering o f the Fraternity. From the a rri val ~f the van~uarcl of brothers to the last depa rttng Pi Kapp thi s feeling of genuine fraternity was < • mant· f e. ted on ever y hand .

Conventions a nd gatherings of organi zati ons have personalities just as indi vidual s, and the meetings of l'i Kappa Phi a rc no exception.

Other S upreme Chapters hav e "a·one clow n in hi st_ory'' cha racterized by som: outstanding a~htevement. The Charlotte meeting, folJ ow mg c osely upon the heels of the \Vorld \tVa r, was marked by a gathering up of loose ends and a re · · -untttng of fraternal ti es. The development of a keener na tional consciousness resulted from the Berkeley conclave. A sp irit of progress stamped itself upon the A tlanta meeting, which resulted in the establi shme nt of the central offi ce, t 11e employment of a full -time secreta ry, , ~nd. a welding together of a strong-knitted organ' tzatJOn.

those of the fraternity, who were fortunate enough to attend the Thirteenth Supreme Chapter Meeting in Chicago, there is no need for the introduction of lhother Elmer "N . Turnquist, who was elected at that meeting as Supreme Secretary. Brother Turnquist was general chairman of the committee, which arranged the program for the Chicago Supreme Chapter, and because of that office and hi s magnificent efforts at entertaining the visitors, endeared him self to every brother at the meeting.

Brother 'J'urnqui t is research and development engi neer for the Central Scienti fie Company at Chicago and is at present engaged in the writing of scientifi c bulletins, which later will be grouped into textbooks for use in colleges and universities.

After receiving his A.U. degree from the Uni versity of Tllinois in 1918, Brother Turnquist obtained hi s master' s degree in phy. ics two years later. He served as an in st ructo r in physics at the Pn iversity from 19 18 to 1920.

For six months ] rother Turnquist was at the Bureau of Standards, \tVashington, D. C., having been sent there on a scholarship from the Sears, Roebuck & Co. While in \li,Ta bington he was married to Miss Frances D. Bolstein, membe r of Alpha-Beta chapter of the Delta Zeta

sorority. Brother and Mrs. 'l'urnquist have daughter, Darbara Louise, born September It 1923.

Brother Turnqui st was one of the founder of Gamma Sigma l(appa, local fraternity •· Illinoi s which in 1920 was in stall ed as Pi 1-.:apl Phi's Ups ilon chapter.

The social training is fur~ltshed by-what? Speab ng generally- noth~~~?! And for this deficiency there is a cause. e must consider the cause of this lack of social training if we are to find the rightful place of f raterntttes ·· · · · · 111 our JI1StttutJOns of 1earning.

The educational heritage of the Americas 111 co] · ontal days was that of England. English education was summed up in the words, "Ox!orci and Cambridge." "Oxford and Cambridge" itor 1111 Plied, first, an intellectual aristocracy, limited, or)' exclu ive, essentially different from the robust ub· d~mocracy of the New \ Vorld. Secondly, it iming Plted e lucation in sma ll corporate bodies, col)rk leges, which were self-contained, and each of of Which possessed an individuality which imra. ~)ressed itself on the men who passed through lee rt walls. on This was the traditional system of Engli h ill education. and the organization of Harvard Col1iS lege, at least. was ba ·eel on that tradition.

It is clear, to any who give thought to the question that under this traditional system of small colleges, where men live, move, and have their being in clo. e associati on, there can be no real need for fraternities. The colleges are themselves "fraternities" in the true sense of the word, and the super-imposition of Greek-letter societies on them is as superfluou an act a to "gild the lily or adorn the rose."

It was speedi ly shown. however, that the sp irit of the New \\'oriel was against academic exclusiveness. Students flocked to the colleges in large numbers; the development of "cloistered" foundations si milar to those of E ngland could not meet the needs of the day; the example of Scotland in the matter of supplying education alone, and leaving the student to look out for him self in the matter of living was certain ly not unknown; and because of these and similar cau es, the idea of the mal.l residential col lege vanished, and a university came to be regarded a an educational "plant" which could handl e the largest possible body of students.

Observe the development from these small beginnings: The increase of population beyond all former experience, the widening of the basi of education so as to include the agricultural, physical, and commercial sciences; aU combined to bring students together-not in hundreds, or one or two thousands, but in bodies of five, ten, fifteen and even twenty-five thousands. \Vhen institutions reach uch a size, it is evident that "social relation. hips" present in uperabl e difficulties.

cpreferential GJraternity G;Bidding By

FRANCIS F. BRADSllA w

Dea n of S tndents, Uuive路r sity of Nor th Caroliua HE Inter-Fraternity Council at the U ni versity of North Caro lin a, inaugurated last fall, with the approval of the faculty, further modification in their plan for handling, ru shing and bidding. I say further modification because the method of handling thi s situation has been changed once before in the last few years. The probl ems incident to fratern ity ru shing and bidding seem not to have fo und any ideal solution , so fa r, at any instituti on. There is such keen compet iti on between fraternities that rushing tends always to becom e more and more strenuous. It consum es a great deal of time, both for the upperclassmen and the freshmen, whi ch should be devoted to other co ll ege activ iti es, such as study, for in stance.

Previous to the change thi s fall , the plan in operation here see med to result in a considerable degree of confusion of mind among the freshmen as to just whi ch way to fo rmulate their deci ion, and some degree of ill feeling among th e fraternities consequent on the keenness of rivalry which was not always above mud slinging, or, as the campus slang goes, " low rating" the other fraternity.

U ntil some years ago there was no pledging system here at all. No student was eligibl e for initiation until the opening of hi s sophomore year. f\t that time, if he had passed the scholastic requirements, he was eligibl e for initi ati on, and was initiated without any preliminary pledge or probationary period. The first change provided for an initiation at the beginning of the pring quarter, and for pledging at the beginning of the wi nter quarter. The pledging date was later moved back to December, just prior to examinations. This yea r it was again moved back to about the middl e of the quarter; where, for the present, it remain s tationary. The reason offered for all this mov ing is to save time and improve f raternity di scipline by getting men under the control of the fraternity earl y in their academ ic adolescence. Just why

T

the fifth week instead of the fourth, or the third or the second should be approp ri ate from thesr points of view, it is hard to say. l t certainlY is true that each time that the shifting of date has been made, it has been thought that th1 waste of time would be eliminated by the change. and each time it has been found that ru . bing was not greatly diminished, but simpl y concen路 trated within a shorter period. The recent change embodi es, in addition to the shortened rushing season, at .least three important innovations. A two-clay period of sil ence before bid~ are submitted, the handling of bid by an itll' partial faculty committee, and what Dean \Vii路 kins, of the Uni versity of Chi cago, has ca lled a "preferential bidding system," which means si mpl y that the freshman states hi s preference to the faculty member without ever knowing w hat in vitations he has received. The follow路 ing quotation from the regul ations will indi cate the machinery !or thi s purpose: "Foll ow ing the 35 to 38 days of open ru shing there wi ll be a period of sil ence, beginning at midnight Monday and lasti ng un til 6 P . lVI. on the following \\'ednesday. During this period there shall be no ru shing in any form by the fraternities, or their agents, or the new men themselves, on or off the hill.

"On the fir st clay of the period of sil ence each fraternity shall submit a li st of those whot11 they wish to bid through the secretary of the Tnter -Fraternity Council to the faculty advisor on fraternities.

"On the second clay of the period of silence ( \ \' eclnesday), the faculty advisor on fraterni ties will summon every man w ho receives a bid to some conveni ent place selected by him , at which time each man shall appear alon e before the adv isor and any assistants he may select to aiel him , and state in writing hi s first, second and. third choice of fraternities he would like to join, or may have reason to expect bids from.

The advisor, after consulting the li st of bids,

THE STAR AN D LAM P the freshman felt that they we re the v1ctuns of unfairness on the part of that group which secured him by this process. It is generall y conceded that this one contested case represented a very great decrease in such squabbl es as compared with previous years. \ Vhil e some of the freshmen can still say what fraternities they "bumped," yet their statement lacks force and vitality in face of the fact that they cannot be dead sure that they really received a formal bid from any other save the one that they joined.

If I were call ed upon for a ve rdi ct as to this plan, it would be my impress ion that this year it was a success. It depends, as all other plans do, upon the support of the fraternities. \ Vhat will be its fate after th e men who ha ve worked it out have left school, and their successors in herit it as omething foreign to th eir ow n thinking. onl y the future can say.

Both boys played with a third brother, \\ .il liam, an Upsilon alumnus, at Aurora High School. George and l''rank played Freshman football at the U ni versity of Illinois, F rank playing tackle on the Freshman team captain ed by "Red" Grange. Opposite Frank, in the vars ity line, was George, who was then a gua rd delegated to stop "Red." George struck a bit of hard luck in hi s junior year when a pre-season operation prevented hi s playing as often as the coaches had planned.

He hit rece ivers of punt as often as the end s did; the Iowa, Butler and Penn sylvania safeties will say, 路'harder than any other tackler." 1\ s a guard he was probably even more valu able, being an important cog in the famed interference that started Grange on hi s way. ''G" H uff, athl etic director of IJlinois, praised George at the alumni team dinner in Chicago, when, in speaking of only two men on the squad he r eferred to George as the scholar and athl ete of the highest type and an admirable man, and said further: "He was ready when his chance came and came through with flying colors." This is quite an honOI', coming from a man who seldom makes such rema rks. George finishes hi engineering course this Fe! ruary and with his g raduati on Upsil on loses its foremost member and past archon.

By PETER VrscnER Cha irman Co·m mittec on Publicity

HE seventeenth plenary meeting of the Inter-Fraternity Conference, held November 27 and 28 at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York under the chairmanship of Dr. \i\falter H . Con ley, brought togetllf!t· for a frank di scussion of fraternity problems groups of fraternity officers, educators, alumni , undergraduates and representatives of local organizations.

In all, 309 attended the sessions. This is the largest yet. Of this number 12 were educators,

T

158 delegates and alternates, 44 visitors, 53 un· dergraduates attending the National U ndergrad· uate Interfraternity Council, and 40 represent· ativ es of local fraternities attending the Inter· local Fraternity Conference. A total of 54 otll of 58 member fraternities were represented.

Tt would be presumptuous to select any one attainment as the most important of the conferenc . Possibly the discussion that aroused the mo t interest was inspired by the report of the law committee, _o f which T-:Tarold Riegelmatt

J n accepti ng the chair, Mr. Johnston exp ressed his heartfelt thanks and said: ''It seems to. me that this yea r hold s forth three large subdiv isions of work. Fi rst, let us emphasize the sp iritual in the fraternity movement. Second , let us emphasize the scholast ic. If any g rave indi ctment can be levell ed against the A meri can college fraternity it is that the system does not promole schola rship, and if we can do anything in the Inter-Fraternity Confe rence to better the £ituation in that regard we should do it. A nd third, we come to another aspect, the question of secti onaJ organi zation ."

Dr. Oscar M. Voorhee, representing 1 hi Beta Kappa, in a brief add ress exp re sed concern for the over-o rgani zation of the field of honorary or honor societies. l-Ie pointed out that one uni versity in the Fa r \Vest has 35 societies li sted in the professional or the hono-r society group. He brought greeti ngs from P hi Beta Kappa, oldest of fraternities.

Jo hn J. K uhn reported to the conference that 53 undergraduate interfraternity councils had sent delegates to their own co-nference and to the plenary meetings. He pointed out that probably 30,000 underg rad uates a re being given some message from the Inter-Fraternity Conference as a resul t of this.

Several papers of importance and interest were read to the conference. \ V. L. Phi llips, Grand Secretary of Sigma P hi Epsilon, whose fraternity does business amounting to $ 1,000,000 a year , spoke on "Methods of Raising Money from A lumni."

Dr. F rancis \ II,' . Shepardson delivered an in spiring address on the conference, its growth, its progress, its hopes, its possibilities. He held

that the conference has not yet succeeded in get ting its message over to undergraduates, though "out of these meetings during seventeen year· have gone influences of such tremendous all 0 far-reaching consequen ces to fraternities that 11° one has the power of wo rd s with whi ch It describe them."

A rthur B. ·w eller, cashier of the Ithaca Trtt 51 Company, in the New York town where Corner University is, addressed the conference on "Chair ter Fi nance and Accounting." He was folloWf' on the same subj ect by Clarence B. P iper.

The repo rt of th e committee on Chaptrf House A rchitecture. made by Oswald C. J-l erin~ aroused considerahlc discussion. This report 11 a s published prior to the conference at 11 ' promptl y excited crit icism from some who u!l derstood that the report encouraged fraternitil'' to give th eir member s houses too extravagH 111 for th em. Dean Thomas A ride Clark, for in· 1 stance, said : "I think underg raduates should 11° li ve in much greater extravagance than they art 1ikely to find it possible to live after they get out of coll ege." Dean Clark protested again>1 houses that might cost as much as $150,000.

Albert S . Bard, in r eply, said that the report recommended a standard only, explicitly recog· ni zi ng that that standard cannot be reached as ~ practical matter in m any cases. He held thn1 the report tries to disseminate and encourage ~ stand ard and an ideal. \ll,lilliam C. Levert pointed out that some of the very coll eges thn1 a re trying to restrict fraternities to $50,(){t houses are " r aising the devil to get $500,000 £of a dormitory that wo-uldn 't accommodate so mall) niore students than the fraternity houses."

As a . result of the di scussion, the followin~ resolution was adopted: "Resolved, that it is the sense of the Inter· Fraternity Conference that fraternities cannot be justly criti cised upon the ground of extravw gance when they provide chapter houses in· volving high standards of architectural desigO and good fireproof construction; that the be51 standards of architectural design, construction and equipment appropriate to a we.ll-built modefl1 college dormitory are also appropri ate to a chaP' ter house as a basis of its cost, recognizing a~ well that the proportionate cost per student i:
