~he Supreme c?trchon Says: BROTHERS OF PI KAPPA PHI :
As this school year, the twenty-fourth in which Pi Kappa Phi has played so~e part in American college life , is getting un ier way we naturally think of what can e done to make this the best year in the hist xy of the fraternity. Apropos of this let me ask your cons:'deration of ways and means in tuhich ~~ may bring about greater practical applicat ion of the principles and ideals upon tahtC Pi Kappa Phi is based and which are so solendidly exemplified in our rituals. Those principles and ideals to which every one ~f us, at some time, standing solemnlY fore an altar of the fraternity , has sworn allegiance. Let us at this time particular~ call to mind the characteristics symbolized to 路US by the Star and by the Lamp an consider how these can be pra~tically ajJp!ied. Such results will assure a year of ou~standing success for Pi Kappa Phi in its mission of promoting valuable friendshtP among college men , of building character and of supplementing the regular college opportunities in bringing about wider culture and noblier lives.
br
Many alumni, scattered throughout the country, are thinking just notV . I k,.;c:w, of the opening weeks of fraternity life in the years when they were in colfegei The pleasures of 'the " gathering of the clan" after the summer holidays, the fun an'f 0 the problems of securing new members come to mind among other things, some them with a tinge of regret that they all belong to the past. We cannot, of coursf, ever duplicate our undergraduate days . \V e can however, still get much enjoym_ent out of our fraternal associations. There a ~e our alumni contacts and if there 18 .~ college chapter at all accessible, you will find they need and I hope in all cases tVt welcome, proper interest and assistance fro'TI an alumnus. If the business affairs of a chapter an' not properly managed. scholastic an: moral standards and living conditions not what they should be, the influence on the lives of the members would be most unfortunate . Almost without exception t r undergraduates want their chapter on the right basis relative to these things and do a pretty good job in having it so,. but the alumni by a healthy and active interest ca? be most helpful. Each alumnus knows the manner in which he can best shotV htS interest and I can assure each one of you that all efforts will be more than repaid btJ the pleasure and benefits received from the contacts with the active brothers. Fraternally,

This is no attempt to preach, but just a re minder to call you to consider the responsibil ities that rest upon your shoulders. · The responsibility of shaping your careers is yours. Perhaps for the first time. you are "on your own hook" and maybe you are returning to continue you~ educational training. The privilege of college training, even in this day of al most universal education , is one that does not come to every young man. Our advice is simply this : Make the most of your time and of dad 's money. Be moderate, be not easily swayed, be not quickly tempted away from more substantial things to passing fancies and pleasures. Work hard and play just as hard. " And you' ll be a man, my son. "

Toward the 'Rising Sun
THE STAR AND LAMP OF Pr KAPPA PHI not be handicapped by the lack of information, which must be provided by the chapter secretaries. Let those officers charged with this duty, realize their responsibility and furnish Dr. Edington , promptly, with accurate and up -to -theminute records on the scholarship standings of eve ry brother in every chapter. Dr . Edington's work is a labor of love. He is working not for himself but for the Fraternity, so let's all of us who are called upon , answer him quickly , and give him all possible assistance. This cooperation is absolutely essential if the Fraternity's scholarship program is to be carried to full fruition.
The Scholarship Awards In this issue of the magazine, announcement is made of the first awards of the fraternity to brothers in Pi Kappa Phi for meritorious schol astic endeavors. To Brothers Grafton and Pritchard, go the honor of receiving the initial penaants granted by the Fraternity. It is with pleasure that the Fraternity recognizes the faithful and diligent work of these brothers and to them we offer our congratulations. This is no mean honor but it is a distinction that should be coveted by every man in the Fraternity. It is a goal that every brother should seek, not merely for the privilege of wearing a pendant but for the good that such efforts will mean to him personally.
Self-Made Men Dr . Edward A. Fitzpatrick, dean of the graduate school of Marquette University, took occasion to remark the other day that all meneve n college graduates-are " se lf -made men ." "Education can in the last analysis be only a process of self-development," where a man is master of his fate, and the artist creating his own life out of the raw materials of his experience," h e says.

Withcoope ratron and a true welcommg sptnt. e~ery a service de luxe the Tutwiler provides fastict· convenience and comfort that the most lOUs Of th can command. Located in the heart Purp e business district, it is convenient for all hlockoses. The railroad stations are only a few aroun~ away ; the best theatres in town are "just could the corner": in fact, everything that large be needed is near by. While it is the the cst hotel in the city, it is not so large that 0 Ptob ~~~ntion will be lost in the crowd. In all therea llny, there will be no other convention Birlll·at the same time. The Tutwiler, like all the t'tngham Pi Kapps, is anxiously awaiting 1111 to c e for the nearly five hundred Pi Kapps 0111 e rolling in. Pi Kappa Phi will reign
supreme at the Tutwiler and in Birmingham during those momentous days in December. In the spacious and exquisitely beautiful Tutwiler ballroom the convention banquet will be held. Brother McDanal. chairman of the banquet committee, says the banquet is going to be an outstanding feature of the convention. No time nor effort is being spared to make the ban quet a success. A " humdinging" toastmaster, plenty of eats, lots of-good speeches, a souvenir, and a jolly good time are to be expected at the banquet. Equally as great or important, is the convention dance. The scene for this event is laid in Birmingham's most restricted, most exclusive, most beautiful and finest residential section-the Highland Park Golf Club. Easy to reach, glorious in it..s setting, challenging in beauty, with all conveniences and comforts, it is the best place in the city for a dance. The dance will be the prime social event of the convention. Each chapter will have a sponsor selected from the most beautiful of Alabama's feminine sexand Alabama is noted for its good looking girts. After all the sponsors have been selected there

Seeing there the spirit of loyalty and forward looking among the active chapter members and delegates present, I feel it hardly necessary to urge a large attendance from this group . They will be there in large numbers to participate in the shaping of policies for the mutual good of chapters and of individual members and to imbibe ,. on a larger scale than i3 possible in the local chapter. the true spirit of our Fraternity. that they may take it back to their less fortunate brothers who are forced to remain at home . The presence of the full quota of supreme officers and chapter delegates is. of course, essential to the success of the convention. I feel. however , that a large attendance of alumni mem bers is of tremendous value in lending body and character to the assembly. And it is the alumni especially that I would urge to Jay aside tem porarily their business and professional life and to join once more .in the sessions of the old Fra ternity .

was seve n years ago, in the spring and summ er of 1920. that the need of an alumni chapte r d aw ned in the co nsciousn ess of the Birmin gham Pi Kapps. Such a chapter was needed, not only to support the lone chapter in the state-Omicro n- but to create interest among t he brothers throughout the State and to feel out for expa nsion in the district. T h e first year's work was comparatively hard. there being only three or four Pi Kapps in the city. Twelve months time , however, brought the total membership within the range of a dozen . Prospects were bright and apparently everyth ing was going good. But in 1922 there was a lull and the situation prese nted a gloomy aspect, but 1923 brought a revival of interest a nd activities have raged like wild fire ever since. On Jul y 21. 19 24. the charter was received with the following brothers as charter members: Norvelle Brice, J . Francis Fletcher. N. S. Morga n , V . H ain Huey, W. Morgan Burns, Harry W. Prater. Robert G. Pate , H . D . Acker, J. V. Thomas, Cecil A. Carlisle, and W . 0 . Stephen . The Birmingham Alumni Chapter has tried to meet the needs of Pi Kappa Phi in Alabama. In crea ting interest over the State, it has sponsored a " conclave" of all Pi Kapps in the seventh district. This mee ting was held in Birmingham the las t days of D ece mber , 1926 , and was a de cid ed success. Actives were present from the three chapters in Alabama and alumni from four states, representing Omicron, Rho . Eta , Alpha -Beta. Alpha-Eta and Alpha-Iota, were there . Pi Kapps throughout the whole district we re brou ght closer together and united in one zea l for the furtherance of Pi Kappa Phi . An expa nsion polic y has been pursued by Birmingham alumni also.

c5l Ti Kapp Sermon " The Capacity For Religion" By the REv.

things have left no place for God . I say you have to have a mind which is capable of seeing beyond what you can lay your hands on to the realties that are on the other side. And then there has to be about you a certain readiness to get yourself out of the way. You have to walk with a decent reverence and humility before the mysteries of life. Many an unbeliever has lost his capacity for religion by getting to full of himself. God will not make confidants out of irreverent souls. Nature will not and you will not. Why should He? He can't! Humility is the only mood that's possible for discovery. Whatever you may think of the Old Testament, however trustworthy or otherwise you may feel its revelations are, certainly the figures that move through it, most of them , are in a splendid posture for learning to know the Almighty-Moses, taking his shoes from off his feet and drawing near to a bush that burned and was not consumed; Elijah coming forth from his cave, wrapping the folds of his mantle about his face, and listening to a voice that was small and very still. If these men made no real discoveries it wasn't their fault. They had got themselves out of the way! The third thing which determines your ca pacity for religion is the earnestness of your search. I remember a funeral at which I officiated nearly two years ago. A young girl had died , and after the service was over. one of her friends, a college girl. said to me, " I wish I had your· faith ." The tragedy of it was that she could never have my faith. What I have I worked for and it belongs to me. "But," and I spoke to her. " you can have your faith. Only you too must work for it; as you worked for your knowledge of literature, so you must work for your knowledge of God." I wish I could drive that home. Faith is nothing inherited or picked up anywhere. It is wrought and earned. They say that when St. Gaudens was chosen to carve the statue of Phillips Brooks he felt him se lf so far out of sympathy with all the things which it stood for that he determined first of all to accustom himself if possible to the strange atmosphere. And so he visited the church there in Boston where Brooks used to preach. Day after day he studied the place and drank in the

But the following spring, he easily "lettered" as a regular on the varsity baseball nine which won its second consecutive Missouri Valley championship. Last fall he starred on the 1926 eleven, winning for his team and himself numerous honors. He made his second letter on the gridiron, gained honorable mention on the College Humor and New York Sun 's All-American selections, and was elected to pilot the squad for this year. Norris easily made his fourth varsity letter that winter as he played on the basketball quintet which placed second in Valley com petition . Then last spring, he again took up his posi tion as right fielder with the baseball nine which was then piloted by Brother Dick Jones, center fielder for the team. The team won its third consecutive Va ll ey championship. and Norris was proclaimed the leading hitter of the Valley with an exceptiona l mark of .446. Then he was selected to succeed Brother Jones as captain of the team . Norris' phenomenal ath letic career is an ex ceptiona l one in the history of the University. He will garner three more letters this year. He is a good student, and is one of the most pop ular men in Soonerland.

hAnd one matter which will require some t ought from the members of our various c~aPters now is a building fund for our frater nity. . last year, it was my pleasure to submit, in an 路 \\lh Issue of THE STAR AND LAMP. a plan f ereby our fraternity could accumulate a fund t~r. assisting our chapters in the building of a etr own homes. In this issue , I hope to call . to thts . p I an an d to t h e necesstty . fttenti on agam or such a building fund . s A fine property valuation cannot help but tak. Well for any fraternity. And what Pi a~pa Phi wants is more and better homes . it or a young chapter to build a home through as own efforts. it is a difficult problem . Such t chapter can raise only so much money, then o ra 路 f a tse more would be to squeeze blood rom turnip. n

if there were a building fund within our organizat.i on to which chapters could fo or help , knowmg that the fund was created wr the assistance of the chapters, Pi Kappa Phi o;rd soon own many more good homes. sra Uch a fraternity building fund can easily be fo rted, and will grow rapidly.

Brother Rankin is working in a gents furnishing store. He will not be ab le to return to school this fall and his excellent work as secretary will be greatly missed.

Brother Iverson Wright was married to Miss Cornelia Lacey August 17, and on September 2. Brother Clyde Warren was wed to Miss Bivien Awtrey. At the first meeting of the year twenty -two Pi Kapps were present. This was a fine showing due to the fact that Howard was not due to open for two days. Brothers Lent Brewster, ' 26 . and Alfred Bains. Earl Carroll, Hayden MacDanal and James Dillard, all of the class of '27, were present at the meeting. Plans were formulated for rush season. As an ice breaker a smoker was held September 14, which was largely attended by the freshmen and was one of the best opening nights AlphaEta has ever had . Our pledge banquet comes Monday night , October 3. Alpha -Eta lost seven men by graduation last year and four otherwise during the summer.
