Out of the Past (Material for this column was obtained from the February, 1917, issue of The Star and Lamp.)

40 Years Ago

Brother Eugene H . Sanders, Eta, Emory University, reports that "Eta Chapter is going to follow her brave brothers into the trenches with The Star and La-m p as much as it is possible to do so."

He recommends that other chapters do likewise.

Eta Chapter has purchased three bonds in the second Liberty Loan and taken three others which the chapter is asking her alumni to pay for. These bonds are earmarked as the nucleus for the Eta building fund .

Nu Chapter has purchased $600 worth of Liberty Bonds.

In an editorial entitled " An Apologetic SemiFarewell," Brother Wade S. Bolt, editor-in-chief of The Star and Lamp, announces that he is leaving the editorship temporarily for service in the Navy. He is a first-class musician with the Great Lakes Naval Band, Great Lakes, Ill. He announces that Brother George W. Brunson of Zeta will serve as editor during his absence.

"A regiment of home guards has been organized in South Carolina and 'John D.' (Carroll?} is now first lieutenant of the Spartanburg company,

having received his commission from the Governor."

"Bro. R. G. Nimocks, Iota, won a lieutenancy at Fort McPherson, resigned it to enter the Avia~on Corps, where he expects to receive a commisswn, and to cap the climax got married."

"Bro. Bobo Burnett, Zeta, who held the office of E. S. [Eminent Supreme] Historian, Bro. Hamp White, Sigma, and Bro. Guy Maxwell, Sigma, members of Co. B, 1st South Carolina Engineers, are 'Somewhere irl France.' " "Bro. J. Chester Reeves, Alpha, has volunteered in a hospital unit and is expecting to be called at any time. Brother Reeves is an enthusiastic booster of The Star and Lamp, and we are looking for· ward to some more literary gems from him in the next issue."

"Bros. J. L. Metcalf and J. Lawton Ellis, Jr., our E. S. T . [Eminent Supreme Thesaurophulax}, are both with the General Electric Company in Fort W'ayne, Ind.'' "Bro. Roy J. Heffner, Gamma, is in the Aviation Corps in California. Brother Heffner enlisted some time ago, and has now been appointed as instructor to the new men. After the success with which he fulfilled the duties of deputy E. S. A. [Eminent Supreme Archon], we feel confident in predicting great things for him in the future."

Upon A Line"

EVERY ISSUE of The Star and Lamp carries the names b of brothers who have joined the 01apter Eternal n~yond the skies. Each death is a deep loss to the Fraterh~%~nd, especially, to his family and close friends. What fa . le act1on we can take, such as sending a card to the is mtly and publishing an article in The Star and Lam p, v!te~h~ps short of expressing our feeling and sympathy. ' tt IS often difficult to do more.

. PI•'

__..,.

m Just. as we prepare to "close out" another issue of the wag~Zine and send it to the printer, we have received E~r that Brother Gene Dunaway passed to the Chapter rna] unexpectedly July 4.

I. \{ ly Jirt

co~r?the~ Dunaway was 1

:olle91 La.

ypsi~

indeed a loyal Pi Kapp, and his is f buttOns to this Fraternity were so numerous that it .A.Si th e t ~hat a more capable pen than this one should write ,Jd. Su~ arttcJe ~oncerning Brother Dunaway's contributions. !VI EP. Ch 1 an arttcle, as promised in the columns of "In Our ma apt~r Eternal," will appear in the next issue of the gaz1ne.

f

bu~ack in January of this year, Gene retired from active the Iness (and we do mean ACTIVE business), and soon go;Jafter the National Office received a letter from the and brother, stating that he had retired from his job Phi ~a~ now ready to go to work for "Ole" Pi Kappa Was· his st~tement is misleading since we doubt if there Phi e;hr a t1me when he wasn't working for his Pi Kappa ated e .Loan Fund of the Fraternity was not only ereWith by his drive and interest, but its funds were started the a ~ery generous offer of his own substance. Also, (wh~~rtt Award of the Fraternity for outstanding service des. IC. he won later) was his idea, and the cost of the Wri~~;tng, :asting, and purchasing of the pins was undern ent1rely by him.

Se~~ Fr~ternity brothers saw fit to elect him National also f~ry tn .1950; and along with these heavy duties he al i th lind .ttme to write personal letters to each chapterfor hese thtngs by the Dunaway "hunt and peck" method e had no secretary or typist. t t

The last w~ek m · May saw the executtve · secretary 1~ · M:ichi Kap gan to mstall a new mapter into the fold of P1 overpa Phi. As one would expect, Gene Dunaway drove the b~very d~y to make sure ti)ings were going along in st trad1tional manner.

.

n~i stallar ssue of the magazine carries a story of that m\Vay ~n~. the climactic banquet whid1 Brother Dunaeighth C d.

Phi. Of sud1 stuff was Gene Dunaway made, and upon such men was this Fraternity built.

We came across something very interesting while in the line of duty the other day. In order really to encourage you readers to recommend good college bound boys to us for rushing, it was decided to pay the postage on the recommendation form to be included in this issue. It then became necessary to visit the local Post Office to receive a permit to do this thing we desired . While we waited in a certain office to fill out the required form, a gentleman in the office was writing on some paper with a ball point pen. As he wrote, he came upon one of those inevitable spots where the pen wouldn't write (as a ball point pen user knows only too well). Let me tell you, the m an just picked up an ordinary pencil and used the eraser over the troublesome spot and then returned to writing .

It seems as though the eraser makes the surface conducive to the ball point pen.

We have had fun all week showing off this new found convenience. Since ball point pen ink isn't affected by an erasure, one can erase right in the middle of any word where a letter won ' t print with the pen.

If there is no other moral in the above, let us then at least declare that one never knows what is going to be said in an editorial until it is read.

ATTENTION WIVES: Ah ha! so we caught you reading your husband' s magazine. Well, we welcome you and trust you enjoy it. But, tell us, isn't it disappointing that there isn't more about your husband and his chapter classmates! Though his record is certainly one of which to be proud, he always forgets to let us know about himself. So, won't you help by writing us about any award he has won, organization offices h e holds, promotions he's achieved, or additions to your family?

You see, just as you, we are proud of him and know that our readers wou ld be too. g.e.

"Like Father, Like Son" Brother TPilliam TPork, Beta Pi's adviser, wa.r no stranger to Pi Kappa Phi when he joined the Fraternity's ranks at Eastern Michigan College in May, for he was reared under the shadow, so to speak, of the Pi Kappa Phi insignia. His father, Brother Paul Work, became a Pr Kapp when he was initiated into Psi Chapter in 1922 and assumed the duties of adviser to his chapter. It is interesti11g that father and s011 chose to join Pi Kappa Phi after having been chapter adr:is~rs for independent gro11ps. The circumsta11ces were stmtlar, the dates were 35 years apart.

The following Jette~, dated fun_e 4, was written by Prof. Pa11l TP ork to hu so11, lPrllram:

Dear Bill, I am glad your school is closing later than ours, for I have been intending to write you on the occasion of the installation of Beta Pi of Pi Kappa Phi. This event means more to me than it otherwise would since I was initiated into Psi Chapter here at Cornell about 1923, under circumstances similar to yours.

Congratulations .to you and ~ ~m su~e you will find much satisfaction m your assoctatJOn Wtth the members of the Chapter.

Please pass on my congratulations also to the Chapter and my best wishes for a long and fruitful fellowship.

I am convinced that a good fraternity chapter per. forms a real function in providing a "home away from home," and in helping the brothers to build high standards of scholarship and of good living.

Best wishes to you and to all the brothers.

so,

The National Rose HISTORIAN John W. Deimler was able to persuade four brave persons to serve as judges of the candidates for National Rose of Pi Kappa Phi. They are Dr. George C. Galphin, Zeta '19, Wofford College, who is director of admissions for Drexel Institute of Technology, chairman of the committee, and John D. McAvoy, Miss Nancy Thomsen, and T. Edward Townsley. Incidentally, the chairman is a psychologist. No doubt his training gives him extra know-how to combat the darts that may be thrust at him from quarters where the committee's decisions are viewed with less than complete approval (due to personal prejudices).

With this comment made, we will proceed with the announcement of the winners. The National Rose of Pi Kappa Phi for 1957 is Miss Kay Stewart of Dayton, Ohio, Mu's candidate. Miss Peggy Kerr of Baton Rouge, La., Beta Omicron's candidate, placed second, and Alpha Omega's Miss Birte Jensen, a Danish exchange student at the University of Oregon, and Beta Xi's Miss Carol Bloomer tied for third place.

Miss Stewart is a junior at Duke University and a member of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. Her principal activiti es at Duke have been with the musical production club, Hoof ' n' Horn. For the past two years she has played major roles in the musicals that this organization 8

has produced. Miss Jensen is a member of Zeta ~ Alpha Sorority. Miss Bloomer, who is a member of. pha Sigma Tau Sorority and a senior at Central MichtC' College, was Michigan's 1956 Miss Photography.

To the chapters whose lovely candidates did not p1 ~' better luck next time! There just weren't enough r places to go around this year.

Hall Ranch is Tourist Attraction UTILITARIAN AND SCENIC-this is the way one might describe, in the fewest possible words, the Ray Hall ranch in the Sand Hills country of Nebraska's Boone County. The owner, Brother Ray E. Hall, is an alumnus of Nu Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at the Univer'sity of Nebraska.

Brother Hall, who was initiated in 1923, served Nu Chapter as chaplain and historian and attended the Chicago and Birmingham conventions in the 20's, but not as official delegate.

At the University of Nebraska, from which he was graduated in Business Administration, Brother Hall belonged to the "N" Club, was student manager of the 1929 baseball team, and was in advanced ROTC. On the utilitarian side, the ranch is the scene of extensive agricultural operations. On the scenic side, it is the home of many white deer and pheasants, wild life that used to be plentiful in this section of the West.

Tourists Come to See White Deer

We are told by Robert Agee in a feature article in the Omaha World-Herald Magazine that "the rough Sand Hills road that once had heavy freight wagons and straining mule teams is now traveled by curious motorists who come out to the Hall ranch 'to see the white deer.' " The ranch has about 200 European white fallow deer roaming wild. They are descendants of 40 brought to the ranch in 1940 when the deer herd at Pioneer Park outgrew their allotted space.

10

"Across the road in a hay meadow a spot grows ul it resolves into a big buck, white with occasional ff markings," the writer said. "His 'rack' of antlers is?~路 but he carries it easily. He raises his head in curJ05路 and the antlers are silhouetted against the sky. He tc off a short distance, pauses to look, then he ambles a\lt "The tourist drives slowly along, and another buck is spotted in the middle of the road. This one Wlto the barbed wire fence but he doesn't jump it. He tfil' his big rack of antlers between two strands, care v steps through the wire and trots off into the meade "Farther down the road there is a hay meadow do~ with stacks. A dozen white spots become a herd of dt a buck accompanied by does. They begin to move a; when the car is driven into the meadow, and then trot into a grove of trees along near-by Beaver Creek路 There Are Pheasants Too

"By now the motorist is rubbing his eyes. A flock pheasants scurries across the sandy ruts. Some quail ~ into some roadside weeds. A big jack rabbit flashes awl) The Hall ranch contains 8,360 acres of good range: hay land. There are about 400 head of top-grade Ii fords and about 350 Black Poland China Hogs. A tbl' sand tons of hay are put up every Summer. The ranch 111 cable an entire stack of hay on a rubber-tired "low-~ trailer and pull it to where it is needed. There are )llf help and lots of machinery to speed the work here. d Hub of the ranch is the six-year-old modern l1.1 where Mr. and Mrs. Hall and their daughter, Judy, ~~ The home is spacious, with an abundance of closet THE

Brother Hall Devotes More Time to Ranch, Lodge

ing rt I Cl ~

b Until the last few years, Mr. Hall divided his time f etween the ranch and the Petersburg State Bank, bounded by his father many years ago. Brother Ray Hall h~carne president of the bank in 1946. He disposed of h~s bank holdings in January, 1955. This has enabled /rn to spend more time at the ranch and to devote more a'rne to lodge work and other activities, including serving s ~n officer of the University of Nebraska Alumni AsS Boc Ia t'Ion and as secretary of the board of trustees of the Moone County Hospital. Brother Hall belongs to the rn asons, the Scottish Rite, and the Shrine. He is a past aster of Masons.

w In the early days, his grandfather, Edwin Hall, who Pts born in Cass County, drove a freight wagon from b attsrnouth across country to O'Neill. The road went the land that became the Hall ranch. Mr. Edwin Hall 1 ed the country and staked out a homestead claim here

Two sons, Ernest and Gus, took over the place when the older man died in 1894. Ernest, still referred to as "Dad" Hall, became sole owner in 1900. He died in 1941. Brother Ray Hall, who remembers the early days of homesteading activity, was born on the place in 1905.

Small homesteads weren't practical in the Sand Hills country, Brother Hall explained. They couldn't break the sod because if they did the soil would blow away.

One by one the homesteaders left. Brother Hall's Dad bought many of their places afterward .

Brother Glen P. Brock

Railroad Enthusiast Moves Through Ranl\:.s to Presidency

ll

By BERNEY SHERIDAN Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad

GLEN P. BROCK, who never aspired to be a railroad president because he thought " running the trains was more fun and, anyway, the job was always ably filled," is the new president of the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad. He stepped up from executive vice-president and general manager of the 3,000 mile system recently when President Frank M. Hicks became chairman. Mr. Brock was initiated into Upsilon Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, University of Illinois, in 1921.

Happily reading congratulatory messages which are pouring in by the hundreds, the new GM&O president regards the occasion equally as thrilling as the time he was promoted to assistant night yardmaster in 1922.

"If I ever earn a million dollars, it won't match the

excitement of that raise from $140 to $285 a mont!l路 he confided. "Just ask Esther. We had been marrt~ a month or two and were trying to Jive on $70 a mon and pay some bills."

Working for the Illinois Central as a chainman in~路 engineering gang at the time, Mr. Brock received a ."'1 ~ to meet the vice-president of operations on his pnVJ car. "We knew it meant something, so we were up ' 3:00 AM pressing my one suit and shining my shoes, he recollected.

The eager employee met the boss in the hallwaY 'r the car and was told about the promotion and the r3~ with the parting admonition, "Boy, this is your chan Don't muff it!"

a As pr~sident of Gulf, Mobile and Ohio, a closely mant ged railroad which has grown from a small log line one ?f the nation's major trunk line systems, Mr. r~ck W11l have less and less time to "run the trains." th ~wever, when he was offered a swankier office on e eighth floor executive suite, he chose to stay on seven, 5 heat of operations. Here behind a big flat topped desk e.g~ sttll.get the feel of railroading as he likes it. th 11 5 desue to be beside the men in action and near b e mmbling freight cars on the road is best illustrated a letter of congratulations he received the other day 1romTa man who is now chief dispatcher on another n~e. h~ well wisher wrote, "Do you recall when I was ght tnck operator at Middleton, Tenn., and used to 0 ~~n the railroad phone and windows so you could hear fi .No. 32 with the two steamers go by from your ofce In Mobile, 368 miles away?"

He Grew up in Railroad Fam ily

IS new Job he is expected to make quite a pitch for 1 5 ~ ~ess. Already he has mapped out a rigorous visiting h e ule for himself among the company's customers and i;ds ord.ered the GM&O "red carpet" out for prospective ustnes. a A selling idea brought him his first railroad job. As to student ~t the University of Illinois, waiting on tables su earn tuition for a railroad administration course, he to g~ested to the local railroad that it send ticket sellers ro e campus in advance of college holidays. The railin:d ~greed and invited the originator for a personal erv1ew which led to a job between semesters.

Tea ch er Is Proud of Broth er Brock

B Dean Emeritus C. M. Thompson who taught Mr. ado~ economics at Illinois is still a good friend and B Vtser. "I am proud of you," he wrote back when Mr. y~ock ventured the suggestion, "A former student of urs may soon be elected president of the GM&O." lettAnswering the flood of encouraging congratulatory 1 ers which number almost 1,000 has evolved into a ~neasant take home project for the new president who is te} almost around the clock worker anyway. A company Jnth路 n ephone sits beside his bed and another one hangs arritt ear the steering wheel of his modest Chevrolet. ~on~ bu;he chief dispatcher at Bloomington wasn't surprised, su deeply chagrined late one night when Mr. Brock in J路 to ddenly rang him on the railroad line. "I expected him a wif I call," he mused, "and had all the answers on a pad, ,riv3t cothought. But he'd never wanted to know the price of up ' ca rn before." The boss was thinking about the freight 1oes, r supply for the expected movement of grain.

Bay from the city. However, the water front cottage has become a railroad hotel as vacationing supervisory personnel, along with their families, visit with the Brocks.

The boss would be the last one to recognize this as good employee relations.

An old engine bell calls the visitors out of the water to lunch and a loud-speaker on the wharf, which can be connected to a railroad phone, sometimes gives out such non-nautical information as "No. 40 left Laurel on time with 96 loads and 22 empties."

Mr. Brock brought this drive to the property when it was a scrappy, but traffic-lean local line running between Mobile and Jackson, Tenn. The decision to leave a large system where he was "doing good" professionally and to start all over again came as the result of some sage advice from an elder railroader under whom he worked.

"Get off this big railroad. Find a little one in the South where you can learn fast," was the suggestion.

So bag and baggage he arrived in Mobile, Ala. In a little cubby hole in the general office of the Gulf, Mobile and Northern, now a part of the GM&O System, he worked up cost figures for the general manager and learned the importance of a sharp pencil in good railroad operations. Today the same technique applies on GM&O which is generally regarded as one of the most efficiently run railroads in the country with reference to the ratio of transportation expenses to revenue, the industry's yardstick for measuring proficiency.

In a comfortable office car, unostentatious by any standards, GM&O's new president continues to make frequent trips over the property, conferring with his division officers as he rides. His line extends today 3,000 miles to the rich industrial and farming areas of the Mid-west, linking them with two Gulf ports. Last year he saw, despite a general decline in railroad profits, his company chalk up a net income of $5,093,000 and retain a comfortable balance in the bank.

Brother Julien C. Hyer

Brother Julien Hyer Becomes Judge of Dallas Court

WE HAVE SUCCEEDED in prying from

one of the early members of Zeta Chapter some information about himself. He is Brother Julien Capers Hyer, Zeta '11, Wofford College.

Brother Mel Metcalfe tipped us off that in the general election of 1956 Brother Hyer was elected, for a 2-year term, judge of the County Court of Dallas County at law, No. 2, Dallas, Texas, and that there was more to learn about him.

The judge was Zeta's first or second archon back in the days when Zeta was operating sub-rosa, fraternities not being allowed at Wofford at that time.

Brother Hyer was born in Greenville, S. C., April 1, 1894, received his A .B. Degree from Wofford in 1913 and his LL.B. from Georgetown University law School in 1916. He holds an honorary LL.D. from Baylor University.

December 25, 1919, he was married to Miss Agnes Barnhart. They have two children, Agnes Ann and Martha Jeanne. Martha Jeanne is a motion picture star with Universal International Studios. The family lives at 3307 St. John's Drive, Dallas.

the little spotted fawns in the Spring. One tirne counted 140 deer in a hay meadow, and I'll never forget that scene.' " The conversation then moved to Brother Hall wht' said: " The valley was full of deer in the old days, but tM were killed off. I like deer, so when I heard that the dee; at Pioneer Park in lincoln were increasing too rapidly d offered to take some. We brought out 40 by truck a~ turned them loose. They did fine, and we brought 10 some more.' "

M

Hunting on Ranch Is Banned

Brother Hall said that some native deer have come baC~ to the valley and mixed with the herd. He tried to ha'·e the state set aside the ranch as a wildlife refuge, b01 game commission funds would not permit it. Now tJ:' ranch is posted as a private refuge and hunting I' banned.

where I was master in Latin and history, as I had be::n at Malcolm Gordon. Thence I went to the Bancroft Schoo] at Worcester, Mass., a splendid day school for g irls; there, in addition to my Latin work, I was also the school librarian. To keep myself out of mischief, I was a guest lecturer on Roman archaeology and antiquities at the nearby Worcester Art Museum, and was also very active in youth work at All Saints' Episcopal Church.

Believes Remains Are Tenth Century Structures

"My archaeological bent got a strong boost from certain highly mysterious remains in nearby West Upton, and farther north at North Salem, N. H. These remains are stone huts and houses, not built by the early American settlers nor by the Norse, yet very strongly resembling the Celtic work of Brittany and the west coast of Ireland.

The theory, to which I personally subscribe, is that they were settled by Irish Culdee monks around 900 A. D., who had previously been driven out of Iceland by the invading Norse, and had fled westward to America. The Nor.e apparently found them in the country upon their arrival in 1000 or 1002. Anyway, it is an intriguing subject, and I wrote several articles on that and related matters for the Worcester S11nday Telegram. " For the past eleven years Brother Meader has been teaching at Susquehanna. He went there as instructor in Latin, to revive a defunct department which had been a war casualty. He also taught English literature, the English novel, and semester courses in the history of art and ·· the history of civilization, and two sections of English (Contin11ed

Brother Denny Sparks Program For World Understanding SEVERAL YEARS have passed since The Star and ~ Lamp looked in on Brother George V. Denny, Jr., Kappa ' 19, University of North Carolina, who is known to millions of Americans as the man who for a number of years was moderator of the radio program, "America's Town Meeting of the Air," which he founded in 1935.

A recent check revealed that he is now one of the two vice-presidents of the People-to-People Foundation, Suite 1402, 45 West 45 th Street, New York 36, N.Y., spending five days a week on foundation activities. He lives in West Cornwall, Conn., where his week ends are occupied with his Covered Bridge Inn and Shopping Area.

As the booklet points out, this type of program is no! new. "People-to-people activities have been conducted by private organizations ahd also by government for many years . .. . Of course, churches and other religious ~rganizations all have, as an integral part of their own lrfe, people-to-people contacts around the world."

How Program Operates

Necessity for the Program

Included in the literature which the People-to-People Foundation distributes is a booklet entitled "What You Should Know about the People-to-People ProgramHow It Operates-What You Can Do." The following guotations are taken from this publication :

"Why the People-to-People Foundation? " It became apparent at once that such a vast progra!l1 as that called for by the President would require equal!) substantial financing. The government, through its va· rious agencies, was spending an estimated $4o,ooo,oD0 on people-to-people activities, not including the Voice of America. Private organizations, whose activities were al· most wholly unrelated, were spending an estimated $2~,· 000,000. The need was clear for a central agency to ra 1se funds from private sources and to provide machi~etf for ready exchange of ideas, techniques, and inspiratJ0°· On February 4, 1957, the People-to-People Foundatiop• Inc., was formally organized with the committee cha,r· men serving as trustees, eight of whom were elected to the board of directors.

a

How the Money Is to Be Raised

au

"What is the People-to-People Program? " It is a program launched by President Eisenhower at a White House Conference in September, 1956. It is designed to promote contacts and activities among individuals around the world, which will further international understanding and friendship. Private in character, the program is distinct from official government activity. At the White House Conference about 50 leaders in various aspects of our economic, social, and cultural life who had been appointed chairmen were asked to organize committees to develop not one, but thousands of methods of people-to-people contacts through every avenue of communication. The President and the Secretary of State, after underscoring the natural limitations of the efforts of governments to maintain peace and to deal with the hazards of the present armaments race, called upon the committee chairmen to help create a climate in which governments can work more effectively toward securing peace with justice and liberty for all.

Work of the Committees

"What are the committees actually going to do?

"Each committee is autonomous and voluntary and is expected to initiate its own program in its particular field. For example: The Letter Writing Committee is working with those organizations experienced in or desirous of stimulating person-to-person correspondence between individual Americans and individuals abroad. A N ationalities Committee, working with some 35 million foreign-born and first generation Americans, is encouraging both letter writing and two-way travel to promote international friendship and understanding. The Music, Fine Arts, Cartoonists, Books, and Writers committees will promote the same objectives through both 22

media .an~ person-~o-person exchanges. The Advertisint Orgamzat10ns, Busmess Organizations, Business Counol for I~ternational Understanding, the Sports and YoU~ comm~ttees, ~e Transportation Agencies and Trave!ell ~omm1ttees .will encourage emphasis on these objectJV~ 10 world-w1de conferences and meetings. The Wome~) Gro~ps Committee is undertaking a study of communi~ reactiOns and resources concerning the thousands 01 foreign visitors, both students and leaders who co!l1e to this country each year. The Committee ~n Medicine an d Health plans interchange at medical meetings a~ d e~ch~nge of medi~al information. These are simply ~~· d1Cat1v.e of the vanety and scope of the activities noW 10 opera~10n or planned by the 41 committees whose me~; bersh1p now includes nearly 1,000 distinguished leaders.

"Will the foundation raise all the money for the People-to-People program?

"No. Each committee is independent and autonomous and may work through and with many organizationS and institutions. Most of these have long-establisht;d loyalties and sources of revenue. The foundation "''!) seek financial support for new and effective methods 0 expanding and strengthening people-to-people cont~cts around the world, and for the increase and expansion of activities based on the sound principles developed over the years by the pioneers in the field. The founda· tion will assiduously avoid competition with any esta~· lished people-to-people enterprises, government or prJ· vate."

The foundation envisions the formation of people-tO people foundations in other countries in order to make it possible for the people of the United States to lellrn more "from other cultures and peoples."

B?ne of the prime movers in the museum p~ojec_t was \'Qoth~r Fred J. Overly, Alpha Delta '28, Umverstty of ashtngton, who is superintendent of the park.

In a story published in the Seattle (JVash.) Times, the ~thor, Miss Frances Gallagher, tells the story of how e park obtained its museum. i ''In January, 1944, Thomas T. Aldwell, industrialist, PS oneer, and author now deceased gave to the United ' 'for recreational ' use of the ch'ld I ren ftates 35 acres of land ~i Port Angeles.' He gave the land in memory of his first th fe, Eva Wolf Aldwell, and a plaque stands today on e museum lot, explaining the bequest.

Government Accepts Land b "T~e government accepted the land the next September ut dtd nothing more with it until Overly became park ~Uperintendent in 1951. After ponderous turning of redaped Wheels in Washington D. C. the 35 acres became Part ' on January ' th 0 f Olympic National Park 6, 1953. s·mce h e area adjoined park headquarters, it increased the total eadquarters area to 70 acres." th Several others joined Brother Overly in asking that e doQ.ated land become a part of the park. l-:Ii~t ~e sa.n:e time, mem_ber~ of the_ Cla~lam_ County towtoncal Soctety were constdenng poss1ble stte_s m do~n­ n n Port Angeles for a small museum to dtsplay pw\V~r m~mentos.

Service for maintenance and operation. The idea was finally approved, an~ th_r~ugh the efforts of several organizations and many mdtvtduals, a $100,000 structure was built for an actual cash outlay of about $30,000. The author of the story in the Times pointed out ~at '_'it took the special efforts of the Clallam County Htstoncal Society, the late Thomas T. Aldwell, t~e Olympic ~a~ral History Association, Port Angeles Htgh School bUildmgtrades classes who took it as a class project. There were and Port Angeles industries, and of dollars from private citizens." The carpentry work was donated by buildingtrades classes who took it as a class projest. There were other donations as well as economies, including the use of salvable timber converted to lumber and the purchase of a furnace from surplus at Fort Worden.

Museum Is Orientation Center The museum overlooks the Strait of Juan de Fuca from its site just south of Port Angeles city limits. This sturdy cedar structure, which boasts 6,000 feet of floor space for its eight rooms a?d auditorium, is ser':ing a~ the orientation and reception center for Olymptc Natwnal Park visitors.

The museum will follow the "Mountains, Water, Life" theme, dealing with the origin of the mountains, glaciation, climate, rai_n, forest, wil? flow~rs, animals, the Olympic ocean stnp, and other mterestmg features.

Brother Overly and Park Naturalist Gunnar Pagerlund have expressed the hope that "the new building wi~l stimulate visitors' interest to get the most out of thetr park trip . Exhibits will_ direC: them t_o points where !=hey may obtain more detat!ed mformahon on the subjects most fascinating to them, or to places where they can explore this last great wi lderness for themselves.''

B rather Martin was born on a farm six miles from

~~~GIJ

S T • 1 9 57

Tifton, Ga., February 1, 1911. When he was six years old, the family moved into Tifton, where he received his elementary and high school education. While conducting his business in Tifton, Walter's father kept the farm, which others worked.

He Is Graduated From Furman

In the Fall of 1929, Brother Martin entered Georgia State for one quarter of work. During that time he received an offer of a full scholarship at South Carolina's Furman University, a Baptist instih.ttion, covering tuition, room, and board. He transferred to Furman in January, 1930. For the next two and a half years he attended Furman around the calendar, Summer quarters included, and thus was able to win his degree mm lattde in a class of 66 in June, 1932. For that entire period he worked, under the terms of his scholarship, as assistant to the Furman alumni secretary. Here he taught himself to type and learned such alumni office routines as getting out mailings, keeping files up-to-date, and conducting alumni meetings.

"When 21-year-old Walter Martin came to Palatka in the Fall of 1932 as a teacher in Putnam (now Palatka) High School, Clare Philips was a junior in the school.

They met in a study hall which he was holding, but she never was in one of his classes. " 'I didn't teach her anything then, and I haven't since,' her husband chuckled .

"They had their first date early in her senior year in high school-his second year in Palatka. Ordinarily such social relationships between a high school girl and a 25

young teacher would have caused unfavorable comment in a small city, but Walter Martin had the best possible allies in his courtship : his girl's parents .... They even helped things along by inviting him to dinner at least once a week and by taking the young couple on long rides in the country or to other towns.

"Before the year was over, Clare Philips and Walter Martin were engaged to marry, but they waited six years before they did. For one thing, young couples then, unlike today, were prone to wait until the future was a little clearer. For another thing, Walter Martin was making only $65 a month-hardly enough to support two, even in those days. For still another, he thought he should have most of his graduate work behind him before entering the state of matrimony. "

" 'After all,' Dean Martin said, 'liberal arts has bet' my life. Thorough grou nding in the liberal arts sho~' be the springboard to everything else. I even hope t · day will come-though I realize that the time is n~ yet ripe- when all professional schools will require ;ll AB Degree for adrrussion.' " His memberships, besides Pi Kappa Phi, include Pi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, recognition society; Alp~ Phi Omega, service fraternity; Gridiron Club, Kiwant> American Historical Association, Mississippi Valley J-ltl torical Association, Southern Historical Association, f]or da Historical Society, and Phi Alpha Theta, natianal Jw torical fraternity.

"The president-elect is firmly committed to education in the liberal arts as preparation for all professions and careers. This is one reason why he is looking forward to his work at Emory, which believes the same thjng.

Reports on Work at New York Celebration

In returning to the subject of English literature, Brother Meader referred to his coming upon "The History of Hamlet, King of Denmark," a tetralogy of plays, by the famous American poet-dramatist, Percy MacKaye. "I was tremendously impressed by the beauty and profundity of his writing," Professor Meader commented. "So impressed, in fact, that I have used it for three years as required reading in my English literature classes." About two years ago Mr. MacKaye invited Brother Meader to New York to his 80th birthday celebration to tell his assembled guests of the use that is being made of these plays at Susquehanna. Brother Meader expressed pride that Susquehanna is the first collegiate institution to have used the work as a part of the required work in the English course. As a result of his speech, six major universities, including Columbia, expressed their intention to use this work also. One of Brother Meader's students wrote such a fine critique of the plays that, at Mr. MacKaye's request, it was deposited in the special collection he has given to Harvard University of his works and manuscripts.

In reply to a question, Brother Meader said that he has two hobbies, picture taking and archaeology, chiefly classical, but actually any that deals with our Western civilization especially. He has done some digging around Wolfeboro and a very little in Italy.

Thus ends a story about another Pi Kapp trail blazer.

The Star and Lamp will be watching for reports on Brother Meader's future digging and other research .
