An Address Delivered by Alvan E. Duerr, President of the National Interfraternity Conference Before the National Association of Deans and Advisers of Men last April.

The fraternity was born of an instinctive realization that intimate contacts are valuable in the development of character. For over a century our fraternities, in carrying out this idea, have performed a supplementary function of education which has become increasingly difficult for institutions growing by leaps and bounds.

But education's recent swing away from mass production and back to the consideration of the individual indicates that during all these years the fraternity was very near to the essence of the educational problem.

And fraternities, organized originally because of this undefined realization, have gradually become more aware of the inseparability of social and mental development, just as the college is doing from the opposite angle; and consequently fraternities are becoming more and more responsive to administrative objectives and to their own group-responsibility for the solution of educational problems. What they have done during recent years in creating a better attitude toward scholarship is their outstanding contribution; but does not their success in this important field suggest potential influence in any phase of undergraduate life which presents problems that will yield only to cooperation of a high order? And would this not suggest also the wisdom of just as responsive an attitude on the part of the college, and of a more deliberate use of the fraternity by the college as an effective ally in any plan affecting the interests of the undergraduate? Isn't there an opportunity here to strengthen the work of the college immeasurably by converting the passive recipient into an active participant in the educational process? For we know that it is ,impossible to educate anyone; all that we can do is to give the student an opportunity to educate himself.

Let me cite a few examples of the kind of cooperation that I have in mind. (a) The objective of a college education has often been described in these meetings as preparing a student for useful citizenship.

And here we have in our fraternity chapters the nearest approach that college offers to self-governing groups with social relations and responsibilities of a complicated nature. It is hardly necessary to stress the opportunity that is presented here to drive home the 5

lesson of useful citizenship which college administrators are so anxious to inculcate, and the learning of which will determine so largely the usefulness of the individual in the world at large. (b) Many of you make good use of the solidarity of your undergraduate fraternity groups when you require an informed public opinion and concerted action on any question; but it has not occurred to more than one or two colleges to extend this attitude to the alumni, and, incidentally, at the same time to leaven undergraduate opinion by this means. It is not an accident that an unusual proportion of the active alumni of your institutions are fraternity men, for a process of selection and of social development as well as a continuity of interest and responsibility through their chapter has served to crystallize their allegiance to their alma mater. Fraternity men are the only alumni whose influence persists automatically after they leave college. It would seem possible to utilize this influence to good purpose. (c) Youth is today as idealistic as it has ever been, and infinitely more wholesome and honest. Its intemperances and irregularities are due to a large extent to the poor training and perspective which it has received from us.

The college has not succeeded in arriving at a really satisfactory solution of the problems of personal conduct; nor has the fraternity; if they were to join hands in the spirit, not of discipline, but of constructive helpfulness, there can be little question of the final result. (d) And finally, if education is best achieved by bringing the immature mind into intimate contact with a well-balanced and well-informed maturity, what a revolutionary effect on the educational process would result from placing in the chapter houses of the country the most inspired teachers that the college could command! Not the usual type of callow Doctor in Spe who attempts to prove that he is a good fellow by talking down to the undergraduate, but the sort that loves men even more than learning, whose richness of spirit and understanding would unconsciously attract eager minds to achieve similar strength.

Few men are so great that they might not feel that they had rendered a signal service to society if during their leisure they inspired thirty young men to higher standards of culture and social living. Moreover, such contact would do much to revitalize a profession which threatens to become a lost art.

A man goes to college for an education. Everything else is subordinate. And every phase of college life should be judged solely from the angle of whether it serves a broadly useful purpose in the educational scheme. Nicholas Murray Butler has said recently that in his opinion mental efficiency ranks third among the essentials in preparing an individual for a career of social usefulness, and ahead of mental efficiency he places character and the art of being a gentleman.

Surely he would subscribe to the belief that the fraternity is at least in a position to contribute more to

6

these latter qualities than is the classroom. And, f~r as the chapter house is removed from an achievab e ideal, is it not even so a better laboratory for we development of character and manners than the average dormitory or College Commons?

But if the fraternity is to occupy so importa~t ~ place in the educational scheme, even for the dtreCd benefit of its members, it must have leadership, ~ 1 0 this leadership must come from within the institut1° ' else we come inevitably to the conclusion that college administration cannot measure up to its own respo~· sibilities. The National Fraternity can supply admiots· trative guidance of chapter activities, but effective: ordination of undergraduate action directed toward 0 I solution of a purely local problem must depen? u~ local contact and upon a leadership that is insptred f immediate responsibility for obtaining the desired 1d suits. And so we must develop both the fraternity ~ the college as cooperative partners in the great t ·11 of making well-equipped men of character whO ~~· be ready to become the leaders of the world. we c r· not ask the fraternity to act as a vicarious agent supeii imposing educational functions which the college unwilling or unable to perform. etr It is fundamental to sound education that what . is done should be done as thoroughly as possible: ~ principle has brought about a gradual inclusion 111 jo organized work of the university-its curriculur!l tJ!' the broad sense of the word-of practically alii activities of the student body. But so far the co!~~ has made little effort to utilize for broadly educat1•0btl purposes one of its most fertile fields. And yet, e.tt ~ fraternities have a definite place in the educatl~·ch 1 scheme, and have a contribution to make withoutW , 1 1 education would not be complete, or they are on ;B. by-pass tluough which otherwise constructive en~e~ escapes. If they have real value, there should be 'ti: cooperation between administration and fraterfllur~ to develop and utilize that value; if they have no ~~ value, the sooner we clear the decks the better. tin! campus is already cluttered with too many emascula

But the college could hardly divide its student til' into groups which would lend themselves better 1 development of that finely social attitude which~~~ an individual real worth in society. Neither fa 1je:· nor Church, nor Y.M.C.A. can command the atte!l . of the undergraduate in any effort of this kind as as can the fraternity. Its foundation stone is membership in it is sought eagerly; and the house is the one place where inarticulate youth not to be ashamed to be spontaneous. But, nately, there is nothing aggressive about the nity's idealism; it lacks purpose and it lacks ship. Why should not the college formulate the pose, and correlate it with its own objectives,

Alpha Upsilon Chapter

By Dr. E. R. Allison, Alpha Delta Assistant Installing Officer A. Pelzer Wagener, Supreme Chancellor Albert W. Meisel, District Archon William J. Berry, and Executive Secretary Howard D . Leake. Because of the initiation ceremonies performed that afternon there was dual representation in the presence of three of the men from Drexel. Comptroller Wagenseller and Professors McDonald and Hanson were also brothers in Pi Kappa Phi. Under the able direction of Brother McDonald, who acted as toastmaster, the speeches, talks, and addresses followed one another in smooth combination bringing all the attractions of inspiration, instruction, sincere welcome and jubilation. In the order of procedure the "home team" came to bat .first and was followed by the "visitors side." There were heavy hitters in both line-ups and the results were very enjoyable. Outstanding were the inspiring welcomes of President Kolbe and Dean Wagenseller; the congenial yet forceful warnings and counsels from Supreme Chancellor Meisel, District Archon Berry, and Executive Secretary Leake; the friendly congratulation by Dr. Potts; and the scholarly address by the Supreme Archon.

There were enthusiastic and heartfelt expressions from Robert J. Riddle, retiring president of the active chapter of Kappa Sigma Delta; Wilson D. Applegate, archon of Alpha Upsilon, the new chapter; Robert E. Oberholtzer, chairman of the Alumni Control Board of

Kappa Sigma Delta; and Lewis E. Shemery, of Alpha Mu and the Philadelphia Alumni chapters. In several of the speeches, notably those of President Kolbe and District Archon Berry, Oberholtzer and Shemery were commended for their energetic and patient activities which led to the accomplishment of their hopes in the installation ceremonies. The credit is well placed, for it was from the friendship which developed between these two as they worked together in the same business office that Alpha Upsilon chapter came.

The following chapters were represented at the banquet: Philadelphia and New York Alumni, Alpha Mu, Alpha Xi, Psi, Rho, Iota, Alpha Delta, and Alpha. During the banquet some fifty telegrams of greetings from chapters and persons were received and read.

The installation activities began soon after the arrival on Friday, May 19, of Chief Installing Officer William J. Berry with the installing team from Alpha Xi. The team was composed of the following brothers: William R. Johnson, George A. Carleton, 3rd, George D. Everett, Walter Thielke, Arthur L. Koenig, Herbert W. Younkman, Hans D. Theurer, Charles M. Aronsen, Arthur C. Hansen, Jr., and Russell L. Strom. Dr. Elton R. Allison of Alpha Delta and the Philadelphia Alumni chapter acted as Assistant Installing Officer.

The pledging ceremony was completed late Friday afternoon, and the other serious work was continued the following morning.

On Friday evening a formal dance and reception was given by Kappa Sigma Delta at the New Aronimink country club near Philadelphia. This is one of the newest and smartest country clubs in the Philadelphia district, with plenty of dancing space both inside and on tiled terraces outside. The fine weather, excellent music, and good spirits of the crowd made everything just right. The dance served to acquaint the visiting Pi Kaps with the men of Kappa Sigma Delta as well as to give all a very good time. The dance was attended by many members of the Drexel faculty, representing national fraternities and sororities, and also by representatives of local fraternities on the campus.

The initiation proper began Saturday morning and continued throughout the day. These ceremonies were held in the Curtis gymnasium and adjoining rooms at Drexel Institute. Brother Hanson was instrumental in obtaining these quarters for the use of the fraternity.

He also helped carry out many of the necessary preliminary arrangements. Besides being a professor of chemistry Brother Hanson is interested in dramatics and coaches many musical and dramatic productions put on by the students at Drexel. Not the least of these is the annual minstrel show given by Kappa Sigma Delta in the past and which will undoubtedly be continued by Alpha Upsilon. These activities had provided Brother Hanson with valuable knowledge re8

garding the space and accommodations avail~ble ::1 Drexel and the fraternity was fortunate in havtng . cooperation in obtaining what was needed. The .to· stallation team performed its duties in a most pleas;o~ 10 and efficient manner in spite of the unusually h d weather which prevailed and the fact that they ~e none too much sleep the night before because of t festivities at the New Aronimink country club. ..

The following men of the active chapter were tO; tiated: Wilson D . Applegate, Harvey W. Bush, Rod. ert W. Deemer, John W. Deimler, James B. HenW 00f ~illiam M. Hawkes, Jr., Lemuel J. Holt, ~ane J McBurney, John H. McCann, William H. Miller; J Ralph Mulford, Jr., Homer A. Reichert, Rober 0 1 Riddle, Albert Schade, 3rd, Andrew K. Sweeny, f.·~· S. Tomlinson, James S. Tushingham, Edwin C. Wet mann, and George W. Wiley. f I· In its first meeting the new chapter elected theJJOP lowing officers: Wilson D. Applegate, archon; at S. Tomlinson, treasurer; James B. Henwood, seer~ tary; Albert Schade, 3rd, historian; John H. McCa~ chaplain; and William H. Miller, warden. The chaP plans a large initiation next fall at which time r ~ alumni of Kappa Sigma Delta are expected to ~flitdl 0 with Pi Kappa Phi. Pledges of Alpha Upsilon lfiC lt the following: R. A. Bell, R. S. Butler, Henry ~i> man, M. S. DeHaven, 0. E. Diehl, E. T. Duke, C r tian Ebensperger, Cliff Edwards, J. F. Engler, Fackler, W. A. Fleischli, David Greer, Wilbur Clinton Laughead, H. P. Leber, Jr., Safford Magee\~ M. McMullen, John Reynolds, John Rice, C. H. Sta M. L. Schaefer, and R. D. Wolfe.

SiC Besides the three honorary members of Kappa ·. rna Delta, Dean W. Ralph Wagenseller and Prof 1 RobertS. Hanson and Edward D. McDonald, th~ er lowing alumni were initiated: Robert E.

~n February, 1892. In September of the same year Instruction was begun in most of the departments in~uded in the original organization. East Hall, now andell Hall, was added in 1902, and includes the art gallery in which is housed the Childs, Lankenau and Drexel collections of fine art.

During the first ten years of the life of the Institute ?lany courses were added to the original curricula to ~ncrease the service of the Institute to the community.

1913 the movement was begun which resulted in hrexel being placed on a degree granting basis, and ~ e first degrees were conferred in the year 1914. DurIng the ensuing five years Drexel added a number of ~ur~es consistent with the new status of the Institute. t Urtng the period of the World War Drexel devoted ?the service of the country practically all of it facilihes and in the year 1918 trained many hundreds of students for the requirements of the army and navy ~~rvice. In 1919 the cooperative course was estabIShed at Drexel in the Engineering College. The cooperative plan was extended to the Business College in 192 4. In 1924 the Institute conducted an endowment calllpaign which resulted in increasing the endowment ~ore than $1,000,000. Since 1924 almost $2,000,000 s been added to the assets of the Institute through ~:ci.al gifts. The la~gest single addition ~a~ that of rtts Ball engineertng and laboratory buddtng com1 eted in 1929.

Mackelcan to Be Given Posthumous Initiation The government bombing plane which crashed into the James River on June 26, carrying to their death all who were in it, took Second Lieutenant H. W. Mackelcan, an active alumnus of Kappa Sigma Delta.

He was an enthusiastic adherent of the organization as an undergraduate in Drexel and played a leading part in the activities which led to the nationalization of Kappa Sigma Delta.

Prior to his death he had signified his intention of affiliating with the fraternity in the fall of this year. In recognition of his affection for the fraternity and their admiration of his sterling worth the chapter plans a posthumous initiation of Mackelcan during their scheduled initiation ceremony in October.

Macklecan would have completed his year's service with the government on the day fbllowing the one in which occurred the accident. He held a commercial transport pilot license and expected to make aviation his life work. He graduated from Drexel in 1931 with an M.E. degree. While in college he rose to be cadet major in the R.O.T.C., was head cheerleader, and a member of the track team, dramatic club, Scabbard and Blade, and Blue Key.

ten years Drexel has steadily broadened its athletic programs with other colleges of its size along the Atlantic seaboard. As a member of the Eastern Pennsylvania College basketball and baseball leagues, it meets Gettysburg, Franklin and Marshall, Lebanon Valley, Juniata, Ursinus, Albright, Bucknell, and Muhlenberg. Besides the colleges mentioned, Drexel also regularly meets in athletics such colleges as: Brooklyn Poly, William and Mary, Washington and Lee, Haverford, Swarthmore, Dickinson, Delaware, Temple, Lehigh, Rutgers, Carnegie Tech., Georgetown, Princeton, and Pennsylvania.

In both these sports, as well as in football and in minor sports, Drexel has always made a very acceptable record. In 1931, the football team was recognized as eastern champions among the small colleges, and in 1932 lost but one game. In both baseball and basketball Drexel took second place in each conference.

Probably the most interesting development of Drexel's athletics in recent years is the establishment of a program calling for participation by every student in all compatible forms of athletic events.

Kappa Sigma Delta Kappa Sigma Delta was the oldest established fraternity at Drexel Institute, having been founded in May of the year 1919 by a group of enthusiastic men in the engineering college. These men banded together for the purpose of exerting their united efforts towards developing and improving various activities, establishing traditions and promoting scholarship at Drexel. Their efforts were recognized and results were soon forthcoming. These early traditions, established by the charter members, have inspired the chapter each year to attempt new and better things for the benefit of Drexel.

The object of Kappa Sigma Delta as set forth in the constitution was: 1. To foster a loyal and enduring spirit of fellowship among the members and the student body of Drexel Institute.

2. To encourage a desire for scholastic achievements.

3. To cherish the ideals and precepts as set forth in the ritual.

In the first object Kappa Sigma Delta was successful in being instrumental in bringing the national societies of Tau Beta Pi, Blue Key and Scabbard and Blade to the Drexel campus. The object of promoting scholarship has been realized by the winning of the Robert S. Hanson Scholarship Cup for the highest fraternity average on the campus. The ideals and precepts as set forth in the ritual of Kappa Sigma Delta have enabled this brotherhood to continually build

and develop a worthy reputation during their four· · teen years of existence.

An established tradition of Drexel Institute is the annual Kappa Sigma Delta minstrel show and dance which is given in the college auditorium and Great Court during the winter term.

A strong alumni organization shows the Kappa Sigma Delta men maintain their interest in their fw ternity after graduation from Drexel; interest not onlY in the fraternity but in their Alma Mater as well. r~e 5 president, vice-president and a director of the ?vfen Alumni Association are Kappa Sigma Delta men. .

"The general public has gone along for yearstaking little interest in taxes. Presumably they affected only the owners of real or personal property-so let those owners worry. But the taxes which everyone is now compelled to pay on gasoline, on cosmetics, on telephone calls and telegrams, on letters and checks (just to mention a few items), bri~g home the fact that taxes and their intelligent reduction are very much the concern of every man and woman in every city, county, and state in the United States." 2 "It is estimated that the sum of federal, state and municipal taxes is in excess of $14,000,000,000, a_nd the aggregate income of all the people, out of whtch this sum has to be paid, was somewhere between $40,000,000,000 and $45,000,000,000 in 1932.

"If these figures are correct, then 33 cents out of every dollar of income goes to pay the .cost of g~v­ ernment. It does not require an acquatntance wtth higher mathematics to enable anyone. to grasp ~e significance of these figures and the ultimate result 1f • the brakes are not applied." 8 Examples of confiscations, by reason of _the tax b~ll exceeding the possible revenue, are contmuously 1~ evidence which "illustrates how the power to tax lS the pow~r to destroy; it is the duty of every citizen to curb that power before the country is bankrupt." a J. B. Berryman, president Crane Company.

"As just taxation is the great protector of the things we cherish, so also, abuse of taxation, as we have it today, is the great destroyer which undermines every step of progress." 3 "Unjust taxation brought the government of these United States into being," and "unjust taxation ... will destroy it." The moving principles of every uprising in the history of nations and peoples are tyranny and taxation. 4 Commenting on these conditions, a recent speaker stated it is so low a step-ladder would be needed to climb into Hell, and all because decent people haven't cared.

Now, there is evidence that decent people are making it their business to care. In order to promote discriminating economy in local government, fifty-two national organizations have joined for the formation of a Citizen's Council in every municipality and county in the country, including Chambers of Commerce.

"It is inevitable though unfortunate that some of the major problems which are due for consideration to-day receive less consideration than is their due from the older generation. The fact that the older generation will not feel the consequence of some of the happenings of today tends to make them indifferent to what is going to happen. The burden which that lays on the tax-payers and rate payers will not fall in its ultimate effect on his generation but on that which is to follow .... " 6 Continued support of our faithful legislators for their worthy attempts is needed, and perhaps condemnation of those nine who went to Washington from last fall's landslide with a mandate to support the "new deal," already christened "The Nerveless Nine."

They might have felt excused (if that were necessary) in voting for it by the attitude expressed in Senator Fess' (Ohio) letter: "In times of emergency it is necessary to do things that wouldn't be done in normal times. The national budget must be balanced. Government expenditures must be reduced. This bill gives the president power to do it. My vote will be for it on the ground that it is for the public good."

This same sentiment should carry us all on in our continued efforts. Let me plead that you cooperate to the limit in active support of scattering this shadow of constantly rising taxes. Our Committee would have you realize that these are the days when democracy is on trial, evidenced by experiments in Russia, Italy and Germany. Let us demonstrate that we have not ceased to think for ourselves, especially when we have been perfectly willing to admit that we represent tl1e highest level of intelligence ever attained. ·:we are no longer chattering of debt revision as the

one way out, worrying ab.out Manchuria, our wond~~ ing whether we shall have to wait on another wor t conference for recovery to make its appearance, ~u putting our own affairs in order instead of the easier job of watching and criticizing someone else." 6 f Let's get way from the Epicurean philosophY ~ floating a bond issue and then "eat, drink, and .: 1 merry for tomorrow you may die." The trouble 0 you don't die tomorrow; you have to get up a~d g to work to pay interest on the whoopee bond Issue; (Will Rogers says our trouble is "Old Man Interes just gnawing away at us.") . t Let us get a new understanding of the gigantiC cose . we are per f ormmg . a car r of government, an d realize public service in curbing this Frankenstein mons~~ of taxation, which threatens the permanent prospefl of every person in the United States. bt Grandad used to say there was "nothing sure ue death and taxes." Dad changed it to "death and !llO~ taxes," (not knowing which was worse); and no; let's not continue and have to tell Junior "stilllllor taxes." . rtl In his memorable address on "Public Duty," Will'\ Henry Curtis stated that "it is not discharged, as'in commonly supposed, by voting merely," and that)ee· the local elections of the great cities of today, e eat tions that control taxation and expenditure, the mass of the voters vote in absolute ignorance 0 er· candidates." This deplorable situation can most ced tainly be remedied as far as we ourselves are ~once~j~· and by spreading our influence through acttve a telY tion with interested groups we can more comP1e art assist in overcoming the heretofore inertia on the Pin of our "citizens" toward interesting themselves nt this essential phase of communal life. To the. e"J~tr that we measure up in the performance of thiS nd will we inherit the promised land of just taxation; ~us· in so playing its part the Pi Kap citizenry can J·ng tifiably deem itself a contributing factor in usher! in the new era.

The maximum number of Scholars that of ~ e ~hosen in any one year is nine but on account max路 e htgh standards required to win this honor the ing ~um number has been awarded only twice durlnad e se~en years in which these awards have been sev e. Thts year's group consists of the following Ja~~ brothers: J. C. McCaskill, Presbyterian College; Da .d Roper Scales, Furman; Woodrow W.

lower than for the preceding year. Our average, however, was still safely above the general average of all the national fraternities considered, and was based on scholarship standings of thirty-two of our chapters. Among the twenty-two fraternities having forty or more chapters Pi Kappa Phi ranked fifth in scholarship. Four of our chapters, Delta at Furman, Xi at Roanoke, Iota at Georgia Tech, and Alpha Sigma at Tennessee ranked first among all the chapters of national fraternities on their respective campuses. These chapters are to be congratulated on their excellent records which aided very materially in maintaining our national standing. On the other hand three of our ~hapters ranked las.t on their respective campuses and it ts hoped that thetr records for this year will show much improvement.

The local averages of our chapters upon which the national average for 1932 was computed were as follows: Alabama +1, Alabama Polytechnic +3, Brooklyn Polyt~nic - 1, Davidson + 1, Duke -3, Emory - 5, Flonda +3, Furman + 8, Georgia -1, Georgia Tech +3, Howard -2, Illinois - 3, Iowa State + 2, Mercer + 3, Michigan + 3, Michigan State - 1 Miss. . ' tsstppt + 5, Nebraska -2, North Carolina - 3, North Carolina State + 2, Ohio State + 3, Oklahoma -6, Oregon State +2, Penn State -5, Presbyterian College -3, Purdue + 1, South Carolina -1, Tennessee + 3, Washington + 1, Washington and Lee + 3, West Virginia -1, Wofford - 1.

Following are Pi Kappa Phi's scholarship averages for the past five years: 1928 - .09, 1929 -.29, 1930 +.12, 1931 +.41, 1932 +.28.

The scholarship reports for the year 1932-1933, fifteen of which have so far been received, indicate that our scholarship rating for the year will be about the same as for the preceding year. One of our chapters, Alpha Kappa, at the University of Michigan, was outstanding last year, ranking first among the forty-six national fraternity chapters at that institution. Unfortunately one of our chapters made such a poor scholarship showing last year that it appears that its local average is sufficient to lower our national average by almost one third of a point. If the various chapters of our fr~ternity realized how seriously the local average of a smgle chapter may change the national average they undoubtedly would realize how important and necessary it is that each chapter do its utmost to maintain high scholarship standards.

Noted Aviator at New York Meeting

Atlanta Men Go in For Government Study

By Frank J. McMullen, ~lpha Xi

T

HE New York Alumni at their regular meeting, March 15, were treated to an interesting airplane jaunt around the world. Mr. Hugh Herndon, Jr., who, with Clyde Pangborn, made this trip and the first non-stop flight across the Pacific, recited his experiences to a large gathering of Pi Kapps. The talk given in an informal and confidential manner and covering many items not published delighted the audience.

Under the leadership of Brother Chris Steffan the alumni have been meeting for lunch at Planters Restaurant in New.York. Every second and fourth Tuesday of each month the brothers have been gathering in one of the private dining rooms for a friendly chat and a tasty meal.· A true Pi Kapp welcome awaits visiting brothers who might find it convenient to drop in.

The New York Alumni have definitely embarked on a program to help relieve any unemployment among the brothers. The entire membership in New York has been canvassed by questionnaire. Brother Albert W . Meisel, sponsor of the plan, has filed the records of those seeking employment and those with positions to fill. It will be his pleasant, and it is hoped successful, task to bring the two together.

With the advent of spring came the swanky event of the social season, the Pi Kappa Phi spring formal.

On May 5 in the Grand Ball Room of Louis Sherrys on Park Avenue, ladies in beautiful gowns and brothers in tail-coats were to be found gliding to the enticing music of Joe Moss conducting his Meyer-Davis orchestra. This affair was under the guidance of Brother William R. Berger, assisted by an able committee.

Before adjournment, Archon Larry Bolvig impressed on the brothers the necessity for always wearing the fraternity badge. New York Alumni pledged themselves to display to the world the fact that they are Pi Kapps and proud of it. As chairman of the convention committee, he also announced the postponement of the convention until 1934 when New York Pi Kapps three hundred strong will entertain the delegates and visitors in a Supreme Chapter Meeting that will leave its mark on the annals of the fraternity.

Recent editions of several fraternity magazines have taken the forms of songbooks. The Delta of Sigma Nu and The Phi Gamma Delta are the latest to publish in this fashion.

Limited sales of songbooks led to this movement, editors say.

Many ptes of the plan have been requested and distributed. th:fter a preliminary discussion of the history of PaidWar debts and the impossibility of their being ices ~nder present conditions in gold or goods or servon ~ u~ to the lack of gold holdings and the effect service 1?dustries of America of unloading goods or bat' es tn the country, Brother Miller and Mr. Berde~s 1escribe unemployment conditions and the bur0 ind' charity which these place on the taxpayer, and spotca·~· ~hat repudiation would also mean another reerat~st tlity of the tax paying public. In full considPteston of these condition and problems, the authors ent the following set up and explanations:

Suggested Debt Payment Plan l. l'h . fi e m:un plans which have been considered by our A.nancial leaders are those which suggest that, · A. bond issue be floated in America and the returns be given to the American government as a final debt settlement. The amount of such a payment would approximate 2 billion dollars and the bonds would be amortized within 30 Years, but 1. This means the transfer of government debts into private debts, and since 2. This would mean taking money from American citizens and giving it to the American government, the debtor nations would really not be paying at the present time.

3. The acquisition of gold in an amount large enough to pay off the bonds must come through a favorable trade balance. This, we have shown, is impossible and detrimental to American business.

4. Such plans postpone final settlement too far into the future; a quick settlement is essen· tial, besides 5. It is very questionable if such a large bond issue could be floated in America at the pres·

~ Pt kAPPA PHI

Perbatis-Miller Plan for Debt Payments I. An immediate and final settlement of from 7% to 10% of the total war debts should be made. These percentages parallel the Lausanne Agreement fig· ures.

II. Inasmuch as payment cannot be made in gold or in goods which will be placed on the American market to compete against our goods, and inas· much as our social conditions warrant prompt action, we should arrange payment of from 7% to 10% of the debts to be made over 5 years starting with the present year (1933).

A. Payments would be made in goods exported to America by the debtor nations in amounts pro· portionate to their revised debts.

B. These goods, consisting of clothing, shoes, and blankets, should be allowed to enter America duty free.

C. The goods thus received will not be placed on American markets. They will not compete with American goods.

D. The goods are to be distributed FREE among our 30 million destitute people.

Possible Cr;ticism of the Plan I. It has been claimed that the use of this plan would rob American manufacturers of a part of their markets because as they say, some one has been taking care of the destitute in the past. In other words, the products for the destitute would come from: Europe rather than from American manufacturers, but A. Charity has failed to a great degree and will continue to do so as shown by present conditions, and the destitute, not being taken care of, will soon not be even potential consumers. (That is, if no one will care for the destitute, our American manufacturers will lose nothing for the destitute will simply not exist as a market.)

B. The money devoted to charity today, though small in sum, will, in all probability, if not given to charity, be spent in American markets. This will compensate the manufacturer for any loss he might suffer of the purchasing power of the destitute.

Special Advantages of the Plan I. It alleviates conditions in America by aiding the unemployed and the destitute.

II. It will lighten the taxation burden of the American people, for A. It will cause city, state, and national government to decrease the amounts spent for poor-relief.

III. Inasmuch as the loans were made with credit, which purchased American goods, the payment of the war debts will be made in goods also.

Chan has been for the past few years executive secretary of the alumni association of John B. Stetson University. His work and residence have thrown him in close proximity to the chapter daily and he has taken the opportunity to help the chapter and fraternity in many ways. He and his wife will be remembered vividly as the songbirds of the Detroit convention by all that attended. Both are talented in musical lines and have been active in radio work for the past five years.

As an undergraduate Chan was outstanding on the Stetson campus. For two years he was elected the most popular man on the campus. This might be considered a superfluity when his various honors are listed: chaplain, historian, archon of Chi; president and soloist of Glee Club; business manager of annual; president of his junior and senior classes.

Benj amin Harrison, a graduate of Miami University in 1852 and twenty-third president of the United States, was the thirteenth man after the six founders to be initiated into Alpha Chapter of Phi Delta Theta. While president of Ohio Alpha chapter he was instrumental in securing the first expulsion of a man from membership in his fraternity. He was secretary of the first convention in Cincinnati, December 30, 1851, and a charter member of the Indianapolis Alumni Club.

James H. Gressette

HE election of James H. (Toolie) Gressette to Tthe office of president of the University of South Carolina student body was a fitting climax to a most successful college career. In turn "Toolie" has been president of the sophomore class; secretary and treasurer of the student body, the highest office that any junior can hold; member of the Athletic' Advisory Board; member of Blue Key; in several high offices in the literary society; and member of the German and Cotillion clubs.

"Toolie's" election came after a bitter struggle, made more so by the fact that he announced his candidacy some time after the other candidates had entered the field. There were originally five entrants and a second race was necessary. This was the first time that Pi Kappa Phi had ever entered the presidential race.

He is the sixth Gressette (all brothers) to become a Pi Kapp. Bill, Furman, Tatum, Marion, and Bob having preceded him. All of these men left enviable records at their respective schools. Bill captained the Furman University football team for two years. Tatum likewise was a great football star, having been captain of his team at South Carolina. He is now head coach at the Citadel in Charleston, and was recently initiated into the local Blue Key chapter as an honorary member. Marion attended Furman, Wofford, and Carolina where he made excellent scholastic records. He is now practicing law in St. Matthews. Furman, after finishing at Carolina, began the practice of law in Columbia. He is now State Code Commissioner. Bob finished Carolina in 1931. While here he was secretary and treasurer of the student body; member of 0 A K; and captain of the football team. He is now teaching and coaching at Richmond Academy in Augusta, Ga.

Alpha Omicron Has The Year Promises Much Roll to Alpha Zeta Chapter

By Dale Swisher

By Marvin Wilbur ITH over a score of rushees, alumni, and members reaching the snowy two-mile peak of Mt. Hood, August 26 and 27, Alpha Zeta swung into its final lap of summer rushing before the start of the present fall term. With perfect co-operation from the members all over the state, enough Freshman Week date cards were .filled to amply furnish the chapter with good leads. For rushing parties and meetings held semi-monthly in Portland, the main rushing center, the men chosen were picked from the upper groups in their · respective high schools.

The new fall term will be under the leadership of Archon Rene Koelblen. Other officers chosen for this term are: Virgil Starr, manager; Sam Pearson, secretary; Marvin Wilbur, historian; Al Head, chaplain, and Sandy McDonald, warden. Seven men were initiated last spring. They were Sumner Alldredge, Tom Beasley, Ralph Davis, Clarence Ekstrand, Frank Hart, Peter Simbeni and Fred Wiggett.

Although eight Alpha Zeta men were graduated, the house holds a record of having more sophomores than any other house on the campus-a fact to be proud of during the present times. Alpha Zeta had a good representation of men in the various extracurricular activities.

Bill Callan, second baseman of the varsity nine, made such a remarkable showing on the .field and in batting that he was elected as next year's captain.

Pledge Kenneth Valberg played ball on the rook team. Freshman numerals in crew were won by Pledges Jack Medlar and Jerome Fluke, and a sophomore crew key was awarded to Sam Pearson.

Outranking his nearest rival 3 to I, Al Head easily won the sophomore class presidency. Marvin Wilbur is assistant night editor of the Daily Barometer and made qualifying grades for a Phi Kappa Phi freshman scholarship award.

Two members, Sumner Alldredge and Fred Wiggett, and Pledge Amo DeBernardis are recent members of the Beaver Knights, sophomore service honor society. Thorne Hammond is a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, national honorary fraternity in commerce and Alpha Delta Sigma, national honorary fraternity in advertising. Al Johnson is a member of Tau Beta Pi, national honor society in engineering. Don Tomlinson is a recent initiate of the National Collegiate Players.

Leg on Another Last Year Was "Most Successful" Basketball Trophy for Alpha Xi for Alpha Epsilon

By Walter Thielke

By Edwin Purviance ALPHA EPSILON completed its most successful r-\ year in many seasons when school closed June 5.

Twenty-two neophytes were initiated into membership during the term, boosting the active chapter to a total unsurpassed in several years. The initiates were: Mercer Spear, Apalachicola; Rett Smith, Sanford; Jesse Dooly, Mount Dora; Kenneth Van Antwerp, Tampa; Bill Taylor, L. W. "Spud" Harrell, Sam Davies, and Ernest Moore, Leesburg; Alton Brown, Center Hill; Glenn Wilson, Tampa; Harold Davis, Lake Worth; William Raiford Conway, Green Cove Springs; Abney Cox, Miami; Harry Baker, Hawthorne; Sam Kennard, Fernandina; Joe O'Conner, Sanford; Dan Allen, Tampa; George Howe and Dick Bardwell, Richmond, Virginia; Holcomb Ford, Jacksonville; J. E. Bush, Daytona Beach; Dick Cumming, Miami.

The chapter was very much surprised and delighted to learn during the summer that Frank Walrath, junior pre-med, was married during the spring holidays.

The outstanding honor bestowed upon the chapter during the year goes to Brother George Coulter.

George; junior law student, was elected secretary-treasurer of the student body for the coming year.

Jesse Dooly, first string catcher for the varsity last season, has been playing ball during the summer with the Mt. Dora club in the Central Florida League.

Dooly, only a sophomore last year, beat out keen competition to hold his job during the season.

Alpha Epsilon was glad to welcome Wilson Sanders from Rho chapter this past year. He is studying law and plans to return from his Wisconsin home to the University next year.

Harold Davis has successfully completed his two year pre-dental work at Florida. He plans to enter Northwestern this fall to begin his dental work.

Competition in sd1olastics was keen this year, but the chapter landed in eighth place, ahead of seventeen other fraternities.

A recently published r~ling of the Commissioner of the Federal Revenue Department at Washington clarifies the question of taxing of fraternity jewelry. Articles sold by the manufacturer direct to the consumer are to be taxed five and a half to ten per cent of the retail price if selling for more than $5.45. All jewelry priced at this figure or below are tax exempt. The Government interprets retail price to be the full amount collected from the consumer regardless of any royalty agreements. This ruling is effective immediately, but is not retroactive and does not affect any taxes collected under the previous ruling.

then in you, the Deans, supply the leadership which will make of this idealism a dynamic force in the lives of your undergraduates? For, after all, it is your function to mould public opinion in the student body and to direct its activities into paths that will bring them more directly to their objectives. College administrators have criticized the fraternity sympathetically and freely; but it has occurred to none of them to state clearly and specifically what he would like to see the fraternity do.

And what about the chapter house? Our colleges are spending millions on improving the housing and social conditions of their students. And in all their planning there is little evidence that your Boards of Trustees are aware of the existence of 2500 houses of ideal size, housing natural groups, therefore congenial, and having the essential qualifications for social development and growth; and that a small part of the money, and infinitely less effort, than you will require to create ideal conditions in your dormitories, will produce in these fraternity houses better conditions than I believe you can get in any other way.

Fraternities have spent $75,000,000 in the erection of these houses. They built them because they saw sooner than did the college the value of intimate life in small groups; they built them when the college had neither the money nor the inclination to build them.

Why destroy any of this value, now that the college is like-minded? Why not utilize first what is already there, especially when it includes spiritual values which the college can hardly duplicate. We must not condemn the chapter house because it does not furnish an atmosphere quite up to the ideal which we cherish.

Why not help the chapter house to conform to that ideal? The fraternity is an integral part of the college and of college life. You have its future in your own hands.

Our College Degree Tag From an interview with John Erskine, New York Herald-Tribune: Instead of sizing up a man as an individual, and trying to :find out what he thinks and what he can do, when we want to know whether he is educated we look for his tag. The degree is his tag. The tag does not mean a thing.

When a boy comes to college he is required to enroll for so many hours in one subject, so many in another, and, at the end, he gets his tag. Americans provide the students with the most extensive and expensive facilities to be found anywhere, and the attitude of most of the students is to sit back and dare you to educate them. Well, I suggest letting them decide that for themselves. If a boy, having paid his high-priced fee for a course, wants to cut classes and waste his time, then I say, take his money and let him do it. Let him know he must make up his own

KEYNOTES Controlled Fraternalism

gett~ng

word "controlled" is to be a most . stgnllicant one in these days and times. The new era :~eeconomic and political thought is class~fi:d under h encompassing term of controlled soCialtsm. We ave a theory of currency advanced under the name of controlled inflation. Production and marketing of farm f~ducts is facing a controlling influence. "Let things e their course" has become "we will point the way and attempt the keeping of the way. " I n d'tvt'd uar·tsm, t etn"" . IS. now th e group, rvran·ry at least is on the wane; 1t &enera[ Welfare, wh1ch ' · takes pnmary · · cons1·d erat10n.

Why not controlled fraternalism ? 'the fraternity system is suffering from an overrroduction. There are too many chapters. This had led ;. deleterious competition: house bills incommensurate ...-'~ cost have been used as a form of inducement, ~tous[y going lower and lower; rebates have been ?u 1 e~ed. Men have been made members who had no sttfiable reason for joining because of personal fi~~nce.s; many have been given membership who oro~nartly Would not stand the gaff of a close inspection n Personal qualities. This has brought a general weaktess to. the fraternity system. The one general derogan~~ Crtticism that is admittedly applicable to fraterclhes has a stronger foundation-a woeful lack of fOntroi, in general of chapter finances. Enmity has hound its birth in d'esperation and jealousy, leading to /~ercritica[ statements about each other of loose and tu~h·Unded nature and to flaring disregard of local 1' tn~. rules. . . ists he marginal" chapter-the chapter whtch sttll exti on hope for better times and on no other founda!Je p~;--should be eliminated with promptness and disby ~h. It obtains sufficient men to foster the hope but t pe er /r an inadequate number for proper financial op<$e beattton. It thus takes from another chapter in much · f rom I1iS • 'l{h er c'trcumstances the few men th e mcome de Otn Would mean a balanced budget. In competitive tllis lo speration it offers a house bill which is entirely too rraf thIV, and to a considerable degree sets the standard for .sseS· Oth carnpus which often must be conformed to by llljet theer groups, much to their financial distaste. It is Of /ource of most of the competitive ills, a deterrent 1 for Oh taterna! improvement and progress, and a surgical .~3t reratio · to 1ts · removalts · advtsa · ble. v• lt . n 1eadmg 18 Uh a rare case in which the individual operates or anat ron h'1tnself to remove the offend'tog part of h'1s 1t 0 1 >or · ope ~Y, or, a more applicable simile, undergoes an ~ o/ 1 of ~ahon until forced to by the increasing malignancy e trouble or until he is overcome by the weight of

opinion of those in position to advise. Over an~ above the fear which an operation engenders,. there .Is oft~n presented the situation where the operatiOn brtngs disfigurement and in this there ~s. added. the. elements. of pride and vanity to the oppos1tton. It IS th1s las~ whtch prevents the national orga~izations from lopptng the offending member, and whtch would lead to the utterance of vehement protest if the operation were recom· mended or done by others.

The fraternity system has proven an acceptable and valuable adjunct to college education. If given the proper conditions in which to continue to ~ourish and progress it should prove more val~~ble wtili: ~he passage of time. The present competitive cond1t10ns are not to be deemed proper ones. Competition is healthy only when it does not stoop to cutting throats, and there is too much of the knife wielding today. The future of the system then depends upon the approximation, at least, of the best competitive conditions.

Since this is true and it will be difficult to persuade the national organization to remove its chapter in a particular case where it is one of the weaker groups, a local board for each campus for survey and action be- · comes necessary.

This board should probably be fostered and under the sponsorship of the National Interfraternity Conference. Its personnel should be repr~sentative of the Conference, the university, and publtc; and be composed of men in whom every confidence could be placed. One of the board should be an accountant. It would be the duty of this board to eliminate from the campus the marginal chapter, or ~hapters, ·after :onsidering fully the facts which pertatn to the local ~ltua­ tion: amount of fraternity "material" made available by registration, financial condition of each chapt~r, present membership a?d pote?~ial future membersh1p, the positive and negat1ve qualtttes shown by ~ach ch~p­ ter in scholastic and extra-curricular purswts durtng recent years.

Instead of a survival of the fittest brought about by the process of time and circumstances, in ~~ich ~e fittest will come through in a weakened condttton, th1s should permit the fittest to continue while pos.sessing still its initiative and vigor. It would be the setttng up, and balancing, of a fraternity membership budget.
