What Did the National Interfraternity Conference Think and Do? Who Were the Pi l<eppa Phi Scholars for 1932?

The athlete has his cups, the politician his patronage, but to the fraternity editor there is no reward for efforts like that which is found in a few words of praise of his publication. we appreciate deeply the following comments and those many others which lack of space prevents our acknowledging in this way.

"Congratulations are in order on the rushing manual. It is a mighty nice book, well gotten up and interesting.

"I am quite sure that the material is worthy of being made into a number of the magazine and that it should be in the hands of all members of DR. A. PELZER WAGENER the fraternity."

"Only my desire to preserve a reputation for dignity of speech and deportment prevents my going into the ecstasies of a seventeen-year-old when I turn the pages of the rushing manual I received about an hour ago. It is beautiful. It is appealing.

And in every way it is very attractive. I am proud Lno H. Pou of it; proud of Pi Kappa Phi." "I have recently returned from vacation and only just had the opportunity to examine the Pictorial and Descriptive which you sent me. May I join the chorus and express to you my satisfaction in the way the job has been handled?"

ALBERT W, MEISEL "The new book for use in rushing reached me this morning, and after careful examination I am moved to write and congratulate you on having done a good job. The volume is most attractive in appearance and informative in its content. It will repay study not only by prospective neophytes but by many duly initiated brothers. The fraternity certainly owes you and your associates a vote of thanks."

WILLIAM J. BERRY "The Pi Kappa Phi Pictorial and Descriptive was excellent. I want to congratulate those of you who are responsible for this good piece of work."

CLYDE C. PEARSON

"As you will notice, the date of this letter is Sunday. Ordinarily, I write my Congressmen only on Sunday afternoon, but I am breaking this long established custom to congratulate you on the new rushing manual. Whenever I see a piece of work that inspires me to write congratulations, it is bound to be good work. Nevertheless, I assure you that I really do like the manual. It has class, color, and interest, even to the extent that those who do not belong to a fraternity are able to appreciate it."

CLAUDE BURTON "I have received the copies of the Pi Kappa Phi, Pictorial and Descriptive and I think they are great.

Reading them makes me want to hop on a train and visit every chapter." RICHARD Y. AT Lnn "The December copy of The Star and Lamp came to my desk today and I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate you and all others who have worked on this issue for it strikes me as being one of the most interesting and well prepared chapter directory numbers that I have ever seen of any fraternity publication," A. B. MUSICK

Acth1g Bxec11tive Secretary, Theta Kappa Nu "I can't refrain from writing you a note to express my appreciation of the December number of The Star atld Lamp of Pi Kappa Phi. It is a splendid issue. It is quite an idea to have so many details of the fraternity set forth so clearly and attractively in a single number. I am sure that everyone of your subscribers will prize this issue.

I have laid mine away among the things to be preserved."

DR. FRANCIS W. SHEPARDSON

President, Beta Theta Pi

"I enjoyed the Pictorial and think it will be of much assistance to all of the chapters and officers. It is arranged in a most pleasing manner, and you are to be congratulated upon the results." }AMES T. RUSSELL "We also wish to congratulate the office on the rushing manual. It is excellent."

Alfred Tyrrill

As the oustanding undergraduate contributor to this number of the magazine, we take this method of recognizing his excellent work by nominating Alfred F. Tyrrill, Alpha Xi Chapter, to the editorial board of The Star and Lamp for this issue. He fulfilled promptly the requests made of him, and then did a little more. His copy is always well prepared. Probably that is to be expected since he is managing editor of The Reporter of Brooklyn Poly and knows the value of good copy.

Fraternities and Housing Plans "There is nothing in college life that approaches the new ideal in education more nearly than does the fraternity," declared Alvan E. Duerr, twice chairman

3

of National Interfraternity Conference, in presenting the opening message of the conference. He outlined some of the problems before the Conference and urged definiteness of decision and positive action in settling them. He called particular attention to the programs for better housing being carried on by educational institutions in an effort to show greater consideration of the needs of the individual students, but stated that there is little evidence that the existence of fraternity houses has received much consideration in any of these plans, despite the fact that almost $75,000,000 have been invested in chapter houses. He urged that fraternities go to the educational institutions, find out their plans for housing students and inquire how fraternity houses are to fit into the scheme, and then face the question as to whether fraternities are willing to make the changes in organization and attitude which will remove pe.rmanently any fear that fraternity property might soon be in jeopardy.

He said in closing: "Potentially the fraternity house is a glorious nucleus about which the college might well develop its housing plans, and we shall strengthen the fraternity immeasurably through a conscious effort to help our colleges to create as nearly as possible ideal conditions for the undergraduate. Let us turn our attention to the individual. Heretofore, much as we have done for the individual, it has been merely an inevitable by-product of our idealism and our attitude. Why should not the fraternity devote itself consciously to the task of building men of character? Why should not the fraternity house by intent be the one place on the campus where a man may come nearest to the full realization of the fine hopes and ideals with which all of us approach life, but which too often do not survive even the disillusionments of an academic career?"

New Educational Adviser In acknowledging his introduction as the new educational adviser of the National Interfraternity Conference, succeeding the late Dean Thomas Arkle Clark, Dean William L. Sanders, dean of men at Ohio W esleyan University, said: "This Conference should increasingly bring the colleges and the fraternities together in the task that is common to both, and I am convinced that it will be done not so much by organization as by creating a proper spirit and attitude. It is out of that fr~endly understanding that the mutual agreements wtll be reached, and it is my purpose now and will continue to be my purpose as long as I am a dean of men to work to the end that the colleges and the fraternities may understand each other and that they m~y see ~at their path is a common one and that there ts nothmg inherent in the fraternity system that prevents the fraternity from becoming an integral part of the educational life of the campus."

offic cil, The tribute paid to Dean Thomas Arkle Clark, edu Cou cational adviser to the National Interfraternity Con Ore ference from the time the office was created and tb c first man to serve as a dean of men in this count~ ann· whose death occurred last summer, was worthy of tb tror man and of the speaker chosen to give it, Dr. Franc sup] W.

"I feel that the proper college attitude toward f~· N( ternities incorporates a recognition of the duty, resr.~ Co ing in the college once it has accepted a fratern! an, on its campus, to exercise an active, constructive 1: cor terest in the administration of that chapter and to .ma, m available to it the means of promoting the affarrs Le the college through an intelligently guided interfratt nity council." ne to Outlines Ohio State Program in!

fraternities are imbedded in this background where thinking is marked by disinterestedness, their members should be able to function later in business leadership, he said.

The university man, Mr. Carlisle stated, has by far a better chance to succeed than the man without college training, and a man trained in general thinking is better off than one trained along technical or professional lines. Business organizations today, he continued, are not one-man shows, but at the top one finds twenty to thirty executives, and it is in that group that a fraternity background is most helpful, assisting its possessors through its training for living, working, and playing with other individuals.

Discuss What Fraternities Are Doing Again the fraternity was given credit for important work being done throughout the educational world when the topic, "What the fraternity is doing for the undergraduate and what it should do," was discussed from three points of view: the college administrator, H. E. Lobdell, dean of men at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; the undergraduate, Ivan Allen, Jr., representative from the Georgia School of Technology; and the fraternity officer, Norman Hackett, graduate secretary of Theta Delta Chi. Dean Lobdell set up his standard at the beginning of his address in the following words: "If it is known that a chapter requires something besides an amiability of demeanor during 'rushing season' as a test for membership; that previous records at high or preparatory schools pointing to the definite (Continued on page 26)

Under the Students' Lamp Dr. Will E. Edington Introduces

The 1932 Scholars is an old saying that every cloud has a silver THERE lining, and during these times of economic and mental stress it is indeed refreshing to find that scholarship among fraternity men nationally has improved.

Pi Kappa Phi has maintained its standing above the national average during this past year and this accomplishment is not difficult to understand when one is familiar with the type of men who become our scholarship leaders. On Founders' Day, December 10, 1932, Pi Kappa Phi honored the sixth annual group of Pi Kappa Phi Scholars by formally awarding to them the Pi Kappa Phi scholarship. pendants and certificates.

Following are the records of those brothers whose scholarship achievements were outstanding.

ing first in scholarship in his class he delivered the valedictory address for his class. In addition to this high honor he was awarded three outstanding prizes; namely, the Furman University Scholarship Cup, the Durham Medal as the best Commencement orator, and the Vaughn Chemistry Medal as the best student in chemistry at Furman. In further recognition of his excellent record Brother Culbertson was appointed to a teaching fellowship at the University of North Carolina where he now is busy working for a Master's degree.

St. Nick Brings Recognition Buttons to New York

paj ch; int

Me" ;;; de1

ANTA CLAUS has been here again and many New York Pi Kaps are sporting the new recognition pin, for good old St. Nick distributed them to all who gathered at the 1932 Christmas dinner of the New York alumni chapter.

The annual affair was held this season in the Hotel Lafayette, on the evening of December 21. About eighty brothers were grouped around the table while the traditional ceremony of the lighting of the candle was performed. This candle burns through the course of the dinner, and its stump is preserved to light its successor at the dinner the following year. Alpha Xi chapter attended en masse.

Several awards were made during the course of the evening. The first of these was the first district scholarship cup, given each year to the chapter which makes the best showing in scholastic work. The trophy was first awarded in 1930, when Alpha Mu took it down to Penn State, only to lose it the next year to Alpha Xi. The cup seems fated to eternal travel, for Psi chapter now holds it. The award was accepted by Brother Carl Ostergren, of Psi, in the absence of any member of the Cornell undergraduate chapter. Alpha Tau made it definitely known that the chapter at Rensselaer meant to take its turn in possession of the cup, and issued its warning to Psi and the other chapters that it was out to do so.

Day celebrations among fraternities and easily bears mentioning.

Some organization of the office is imperative before it can effectively and consistently function. This would include the preparation of a mailing list of newspapers which the publicity manager beli ~ves would be interested in receiving stories from time to time. A good way of getting this list is to have a news card .file of all members of the chapter. On these cards might be written, besides the name of the man, the name and address of parents and nearest relatives, and in their connection, the community newspapers; the preparatory school he attended, its location and the paper read in the vicinity; honors gained there, year of high school graduation; and major college activities, honors, and chapter offices. If possible, the name of the editor or the person connected with the newspaper who will pass on the story should be available for addressing purposes. The p ersonal touch helps.

Most colleges have publicity bureaus that will be glad to furnish cuts or mats of the person to accompany stories to home-town newspapers. Contact should be made with this bureau.

In attempting to get material published, the publicity manager should realize that many other individuals have the same ambitions. The editor's desk of the most insignificant newspaper is literally swamped with voluntary publicity material. Indeed, it is a matter of speculation how many times an editor

"Ned" as he is known to everybody is taking preparatory work at the university before entering the Commerce school.

He is a candidate for the freshman boxing team and a popular member ·of the freshman class.

In high school Harrison was one of the popular members of the young set in Thomson. During his four years in high school he was a member of the football team, playing halfback on the squad during this time.

Editor of The McDuffie Progress: As Historian of Pi Karp• Phi fraternity I have the privilege of writing this loca news story.

If Thomson, Ga., keeps on sending men to the University of Georgia as has been done in the past I think I will move to the little city. Such men as "Shorty" and Larry Knox and Ned H arrison are an asset to any town. These men from Thomson have made a re.cord in Pi Kappa Phi and the university.

NE of the mysteries of the fraternity system is the Lilure of the alumni to wear the badge that ess~r eant so mucl1 to them as undergraduates. Pi Kappa priPPhi is no ~xception to the rule.

Accordmg to the last edition of Baird's Man11al the rdifl national frat~rn ities claim 800,000 members. It is not line>·an exagg~ratto~ to say that the bulk of the alumni repap(resented m thts group are rarely seen with a badge Ptyl': xcept at formal frater~ity functi~ns .. . ..vi& In an army, the untform, whtch ts the badge of '111 . cl• ervice, has among other important functions, (a) to . ven erve as a means o f 1"d ent1"ficat10n, (b) to create a feel0 sto~ng of mass solidarity and power, which has a like jjiCffect on the soldier who wears it as well as the civilian ae nn ho does not. \ \~ In much the same way, a fraternity whose alumni !se J~laithfully wore t!'leir badges would develop further d ~he feeling of mass solidarity and strength. The alumof a

nus who took the trouble of observing the rule of wearing his badge regularly would by reason of handling it daily turn his thoughts to his comrades and organization. He would inevitably become a stronger and better member.

Pi Kappa Phi would have a thrill of new stren~th if the 5000 alumni would wear their badges fatthfu lly. They would constitute an outward and visible sign of the extent of our organization and would be an inspiration for neoph}!te, active and alumnus alike.

If all the alumni of all the national fraternities were moved to display their badges daily, the country-wide demonstration would certainly yield great benefits to the fraternity system, and also materially affect the individuals wearing the badges.

What do you say Brother Alumni? Will you give the plan a trial-say for one year? Let us have 5000 badges showing on as many vests today.

Dixie Conclave Initiates the President of Howard College

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

By W. C. Davis, Jr., Omicron

outstanding feah1re of the program of THE the second biennial gathering of representatives from chapters of the fraternity in the Southeast at the University of Alabama, December 2 and 3, was the model initiation ceremony by which Dr. T.V. Neal, president of Howard College, Birmingham, Alabama, was inducted as a member of the fraternity.

Brother Neal is a graduate of Howard College.

While there he instituted the movement which resulted in the founding of Psi Delta in 1900. During his years at Howard he was always an active and important member of this local organization. When Psi Delta became a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi in 1925, he was out of the state and was not initiated into the national fraternity.

In January, 1932, Dr. John C. Dawson gave up his place as president of Howard, and a short time later Brother Neal was selected to fill this vacancy. He assumed his duties in May, and under his able leadership the college has been making rapid advancements, despite the adverse circumstances of the present time.

Those interested in Howard look for still greater accomplishments under his guidance.

When it was decided to put on a model initiation in connection with the Conclave, Dr. Neal was immediately selected as the neophyte to be carried through on this occasion. His initiation was one of the high points of the Conclave, and an event long to be remembered by those present.

Delegates from six Southern states convened at the university for the second Dixie Conclave. Omicron Chapter again acted as host for the occasion. States represented this year were Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama; which include chapters at Emory, Georgia Tech, Mercer, Oglethorpe,

Dr. T. V. Neal

University of Georgia, University of Florida, ~tets~n, Tulane, University of Mississippi, Sewanee, UmveCSlty of Tennessee, Auburn, Howard and University of Alabama. Large delegations from practically all of these chapters were present.

The conclave was especially noteworthy because of the presence of Leo H. Pou, Supreme Secretary, and Albert W. Meisel, Supreme Chancellor. Both were of much benefit in leading the discussion at the Saturday morning session, as well as in various other features of the program. Several other prominent Pi Kapps were present, including Francis J. Dwyer, archon, Fifth District; Clyde C. Pearson, archon, Seventh District; James T. Russell, archon, Eighth District; Dr. Jas. R. Simms, archon, Sixteenth District; L. S. Brewster, president of the Birmingham Alumni Chapter; John Moffitt, president of the Montgomery Alumni chapter; W. A. Berry, J. Chandler Burton and other prominent alumni from Birmingham.

Other features of the conclave program included a smoker at the chapter house on Friday evening, the business session Saturday morning and presentation of a Scholarship Pendant to Brother Wood-Rowe Purcell in the afternoon. Saturday night from 7:30 until 9:00 a formal dance was given at the house, and at 9:30 Pi Kapps assembled in the Union Building for the banquet, at which occasion J. Chandler Burton acted as toastmaster.

To Henry Mize goes the credit for the successful

13

handling of the Conclave. He not only served faithfully and efficiently as chairman of the committee on· this occasion, but also at the similar one two years ago.

Working with him on the committee this year were Brothers Mell F. Jackson, Edward Norris, Eugene Salmon, Joe Summerford and W. C. Davis, Jr. Members of Omicron always look forward with a great deal of pleasure to each Conclave, believing that much good is to be derived therefrom in the closer union of brothers in nearby chapters and the discussion of various fraternity problems. The chapter awaits with eagerness the next gathering, which it is hoped will be held here in December, 1934.

By Btll Maner, 111 o •33 ; VER one hundred Atlanta Pi Kapps, including the members of the Atlanta Alumni Association and the active chapters at Tech, Oglethorpe and Emory, assembled at the Piedmont Hotel on the night of December 10, for the annual Founders' Day banquet, given by the Atlanta alumni to commemorate the twenty-eighth anniversary of the fraternity.

Preceding the banquet the Atlanta Alumni Association held its annual Founders' Day meeting and elected officers for the year 1933. Brother Cleve Allen, prominent young Atlanta business man, was elected president.

Brother Allen was graduated from Georgia Tech in the class of '31 and since that time has been e;x:ceedingly active in, and held the positions of secretary and treasurer of the alumni chapter. He received one of the Pi Kappa Phi scholarship keys in '31 in recognition of his excellent scholastic reGOrd at Tech. He was an active member of Iota chapter for four years and was archon for both terms in his senior year.

The honor of being president of the Atlanta alumni is one which Brother Allen has earn·ed by his ability as a leader and he is certain to give his best to the office and to the furtherance of Pi Kappa Phi. Other officers elected were Henry Robison, vice president; Phillip Etheridge, vice president; and Walter Bedard, Jr., secretary and treasurer.

Following the meeting of the association, the alumni and the members of the three Atlanta active chapters joined in a banquet.

Dr. Joseph A. McClain, dean of the Jaw school at Mercer University and d1arter member of Alpha Alpha chapter, was the principal speaker. His subject, "The Founding of Our Fraternity," revealed an excellent

I NandT~ES~ tii?es of stress it is a great encouragement tnsptrat!On to have the chapter auxiliary Mothers' Clubs continuing their excellent work. And they are real soldiers.

Alpha Zeta Mrs. W. A. Roberts, president of the Alpha Zeta, Oregon State, Mothers' Club, writes most interestingly and ~nthusiasticallr of the activities of her group. The locatiOn of the maJOr part of its membership is in Portland and this permits monthly meetings which are well attended. They gather at the home of one of the members for a luncheon of a very simple type, the simpler the better because a charge of twenty-five cents is made for it and the surplus is turned over to the general treasury of the Club. From there it goes into the house at Corvallis in some tangible and attractive shape.

Mothers' Day was celebrated as usual at the house last year and a large turnout was registered. Apparently Mothers' Day at the house is always in the end the chapter's day, for something is usually left behind.

In this instance it was three sets of silver sugars and creamers.

The following comes from the graceful pen Douglas Willix, chapter adviser pro tern of .A.Ip Delta: The splendid Mothers' Club continues to operate in~ usual fashion. They were so unfortunate as to have t bank account in a local savings institution which coll~P some little time ago. But since then they have accurnull a surplus of about $50, and last night the Alumni Ass~ tion and actives were informed that the mothers had de'1' to turn the money over to the house rather than spend i4 originally planned, for some needed item of house furfll ing. The Mothers' Club is indeed a stalwart group and lv functioned quietly, efficiently, for years on end.

The activity of the Mothers' Club of Alpha P~ for the past few months also includes great assistall in moving the chapter into new quarters and the sp" soring of a chapter party, which was an undoubted 5~ cess and greatly enjoyed by the men of the chapter.

Much of its ac~ol plishments must be attributed to the able leadershtp Mrs. H. T. Granger.

Paul F. Carroll Is Named Acting Head of Norman Junior EAN PAUL F. CARROLL of the Norman Junior College was last night elected acting president of the college to succeed President R. K. White, who recently resigned, effective January 15. Dean Carroll's selection was made by a special committee recently appointed by the Board of Trustees and consisting of the members of the executive and .finance committees.

Dean Carroll came to Norman with President White in 1928 and during the four years of their joint administration the college has made rapid growth and development. ...

Dean Carroll is well prepared to handle the executive duties that will be his in January. Since graduating from Wofford College, Spartanburg, S.C., in 1921, Mr. Carroll has taught in the Wofford Fitting School and Carlisle School in South Carolina, both of which were under the control of Wofford College. At the time of his coming to Norman, he was Commandant and head of the English Department of Carlisle School. He has pursued graduate work at Columbia University and at Peabody College. He is a member of Pi Kappa Phi and Phi Kappa Delta fraternities and a charter member of the Association of Georgia Junior College beans. Dean Carroll is active in religious work, a deacon of the Norman Park Baptist Church, and also takes active interest in civic and fraternal organizations.- Mottltrie (Ga.) Observer.

Dr. Gowen Says Dry Law Hurts True Temperance Prohibition has been a trying foe of true temperance, the Rev. Dr. H. H. Gowen, noted Episcopal clergyman and professor of Oriental studies at the University of Washington, told members of the Woman's Organization for National Prohibition Reform and their guests at a meeting at the Olympic Hotel last night.

He conceded, in his talk, that he was taking a diametrically opposite view to that expressed recently by the Rev. Dr. Mark A. Matthews, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, who said he considered prohibition generally successful.

Dr. Gowen deprecated "ministerial dry squads" and rebuked the clergy for making prohibition "a religious issue, when it is nothing of the sort."

"I note that Dr. Matthews says he is reasonably sat-

• is.fied with the results of prohibition," Dr. Gowen said.

"But what are the results of prohibition? Americans who were in a fair way to be trained in temperance in 1920 are today noted for intemperance. The amount of liquor drunk is about equal to the amount th.at used to be drunk- but it is unwholesome and po1sonous liquor.

"The number of people who drink is abo~1t the same, but drinking has crept into classes where 1t docs not belong, notably the children, many of ":'ho~ believe a party is not a success unless. there ~~ l~quor.

The generation supposed to growmg u~ tn J gno~­ ance of intoxicating liquor Js the generatiOn that JS indulging heartily. .

"And the police, who are engaged to be protectors of lives and property, are being exposed to a gr~.ater temptation than anybody ought to be exposed to.

Principal speakers of the occasion were Dr. R. D. McKenzie, Alpha Delta, professor of sociology in the University of Michigan, and Supreme Treasurer Robinson. The gist of .Dr. McKenzie's speech was that the matter of choosmg an occupation should not be taken too seriously by the undergraduate in these times and expressed the opinion that a policy of watchful waiting for the proper position in one's chosen vocation should be adopted. During these times "The Price of Success," according to Supreme Treasurer Robinson, is mainly perseverance and hard work in the face of many obstacles.

Faculty members of the fraternity of both institutions were in attendance. A total of 15 members of the Detroit alumni organization made the trip to Ann Arbor to attend. This event was the climax of a year of activity on the part of the Detroit Chapter, which was characterized by consistent and effective support of the Michigan chapters in rushing and the readjustment which the year has demanded of them.

The Mothers Are Still With Us (Continued from page 18)

object which the conductor brings to his attention with evident pride, a new and commodious electric refrigerator. This is the gift of the Omega Mothers' Club.

The Club, under the direction of Mrs. W. D. Truesdale adopted as a method of raising funds the distribution of popular and frequently used table need, on which they were given a good commission. By their efforts a substantial sum was acquired and placed as an initial payment of the ice box.

The Illinois chapter is sporting a complete new set of curtains and drapes as the result of the efforts of the Mothers' Club last summer.

From other chapters come words to the effect that the mothers are working along beside the men in the chapter towards the aim of better living quarters. They are filling a definite place in the fraternity scheme and doing it well. And it is a place that no others could fill. To these lovely and loyal mothers the fraternity makes a profound and grateful obeisance.

Fraternities Are a Constructive· Force (Continr~ed

from page 5)

conclusion that a candidate possesses the aptitude and stamina required for success in college are considered as important for admission to the fraternity as to the college; that members of the chapter are encouraged to believe that amounting to something in student activities is worth while; that living conditions in the chapter house are such that a boy is proud to introduce his parents there; that the fraternity insists attention be paid such seemingly unrelated topics as regularity in money matters and decent table manners; that the alumni of the fraternity reflect upon their active fraternity life as something they are proud to cherish, and upon the chapter house as an institution which they as alumni should visit, watch over, and support financially and morally-if these be some of the things a fraternity is doing for its undergraduate membership, then one may confidently predict a bright future for that fraternity."

Pledge Early But Wisely College fraternities have a desirable influence over their members and the sooner that freshmen are pledged to them, the better for all concerned was the position taken by Dean Lobdell.

"Primarily the continued success of a fraternity chapter over a period of years," he said, "depends upon the care with which it selects its members. In the past fraternities have been accused of being snobbish. The current feeling of administrative officers is usually that fraternities err in not being selective enough. Many of us regard fraternity membership as a privilege which should be open only to the best men of the school.

"If there be justification for feeling that a fraternity and a particular campus is a bad influence for freshmen, it is that fraternity which calls for immediate action by the college authorities and the National Interfraternity Conference. The solution does not lie in a general prohibitory edict against freshmen joining fraternities.

"If the fraternity system deserves any place in our educational cosmos, which l think it does, it merits consideration because of what it can do to help its members meet the multitude of problems encountered at college. No one needs help more than an entering student. It is, therefore, the duty of the fraternity as well as its privilege to justify its presence on the campus by pledging freshmen.

Many Fraternities Save, Few Mar "It is likely that the apprehension about freshmen joining fraternities is traceable partially to the old myths about boys who enter college and were led astray by bad companionships formed in fraternity houses. Actual instances of boys who have been led astray by fellow students, particularly by fraternity

26

mates, are extremely rare. Any dean of men's 0 could furnish plenty of examples of a boy being · vented by the influence of fraternity brothers f leading himself astray."

The period between pledging and initiation, ac ing to Dean Lobdell, should extend over a ter!l1 more and should be a truly probationary period, 'HE the breaking of a pledge under certain circumstar the should be made something possible without lossrson honor or prestige either by the man or the chapter. d g{ Dr. Fraternities Contribute Much gh ti It was an unusual authoritative analysis of "e de fraternities are doing that was presented by :NorD Pro Hackett as a result of his experiences in visiting :1ce 1 merous college campuses. He showed how the fra sor. nities had been pioneers in solving the housing P1, ct < lem, furnishing suitable quarters for their merll~ He and thus establishing more satisfactory standards liver all students; how the fraternity is doing an invalu~~ ing service to the undergraduate in scholarship as pr.ol men by the fact that for the past two years the nat1'1eece average for fraternity men has been higher than .ry t< independents; how the fraternities assist in keeP11 19 men in college.

1 19: Blame for the extravagance and high cost of rll1·c 1< chapter houses was placed upon the colleges by. a~e ~ Hackett, who claimed they encouraged and pennt~:. Sis unwise building to improve the beauty of their C~l 19 puses rather than regulating expenditures by sane om< strictions. Yet, he insisted, these fine homes are sfi eogr ing an important purpose in instilling culture in thCwo c who are deficient and in maintaining standards of~~ Th , who come from an environment of culture. In addttl to the effect upon cultural standards, the managerll( of these properties furnishes valuable training, u Th speaker said, and the possession of such homes give51otee sense of responsibility so members live up to hO~CCUJ rules. Fraternities, Mr. Hackett asserted, are dotOillw more to minimize and control liquor drinking than al other influence.

Douglas North, Alpha Tau The following clipping tells of the death of Douglas North of Alpha Tau Chapter. The fraternity joins the chapter in mourning a greatly admired and liked brother.

Douglas North, until recently a student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, was killed and two passengers seriously injured last night near Monticello, N.Y., when their airplane failed to clear a tree and was wrecked.

North, 22 years old, of Hollis, L.I., was dead when rescuers pulled him from the wreckage of the ship. The passengers, Morris Weiner, 20, of Livingston Manor and Joseph Trimkins, 21, of New York, were taken to a hospital at Liberty with concussions of the brain and other injuries.

North was piloting the men on a picture-taking expedition over a Jake owned by Weiner's father. He was flying low when his plane crashed into the tree.

Enrolling at R.P.I. in September of 1929, North studied on the Hill for two years in the deparlment of mechanical engineering, and then transferred to Clarkson 1ustitute at Potsdam. He later abandoned his studies entirely and went into business at Kingston.

While at R.P.I., North was a devoted student of flying.

Later at Clarkson he acquired a plane and frequently came to Troy for football games. On those visits he often took fraternity brothers at the Pi Kappa house, 4 Park Place, aloft for rides. He was considered a good pilot.

North has a brother now at R.P.I., Ralph M. North, who Jives at the Pi Kappa Phi house, where Douglas Jived while at school here. He was a member of the varsity track team while on the hill.

W. H. Mixson .

The fraternity regrets to learn of the recent death of W. H. Mixson, the father of Brothers L. Harry and W. Hampton, and extends to them its deep sympathy.

Mr. Mixson died at the age of seventy-two. He was the founder of the W. H. Mixson Seed Company and the Southern Fruit Company, of Charleston, S.C.

"Taps" For Ross A. Fisher, Alpha Kappa

By CHARLES E. RICHARDS, Alpha Beta Alpha Beta sounded Taps at the beginning of the school year for an outstanding man, a gentleman, and a scholar, Ross Alexander Fisher, who died of double pneumonia at the Tampa Hospital on September 20, following a brief illness .

Brother Fisher's death cut short a career of research which had taken him to seven universities. He was initiated into Pi Kappa Phi when Gamma Sigma, local at the University of Michigan, was granted a charter in 1927. After two years at Michigan he attended Harvard and took a B.A. degree. For the next three years he studied in Europe, attending Cambridge, the . University of Edinburgh, and Heidelberg. Two years

27

ago he came to Tulane and took a B.S. degree. Last year he entered the medical school of Louisiana State University, and was planning to continue his studies in that school at the time of his death.

Words, even actions, are inadequate mediums of expression, and would be mawkish at best, so we send this message from our hearts: "Farewell, brother."

When rushing is at a Jow he immediately suggests some new plan where~ terest is kept at a high pitch and work is contld He has a fine personality, a high moral charade IS an ideal Pi Kapp alumnus.

Gilbert Hagen, Alpha Zeta The fraternity and members of Alpha Zeta were grieved by the death of Gilbert Hagen, which occurred on August 2 in his home in Hemet, California. He was initiated into the fraternity in February, 1932, and in the short time in which he was with the men of the chapter set himself well in their affections. He left behind in the chapter another Hagen, Leslie, a nephew.

The chapter sent letters of condolence to his mother and observed the traditional mourning.

was never a great deal of competition among the three national fraternities of the college. However, one of them obtained a home about two years ago and it was immediately seen what advantages it would, and did, have over the others. It also meant a larger chapter and greater effort to obtain men. As a result, a situation had arisen that was new to a great many-keen competition. As a partial result of occupying a house, Alpha pledged more men this year than ever before and will have the largest chapter in its history. These new men are the outstanding men of their class.

The house is located at 72 Coming Street, very near the college.

An invitation is extended to all Pi Kapps to visit us whenever they are in the vicinity. A cordial welcome will be given.
