It's Show Time! Alpha Upsilon at Drexel, the d1apter which h~; achieved fame for the excell ence of its annu~ theatrical productions, is busy preparing for the 195 7 presentation. !I Under the guidance..of.Brother Dick Mensch~ a the brothers of the chapter will join in presenttn~ November 22 and 23, what tliey believe will the best musical comedy of the season. The theme this year will be taken from :he Prohibition days.

It is gratifying that so many look forward to each tssue and notice when it is late. We will try to do better.

It is Fall again and school has started again and chapters are rus?ing. again and the small diamond shaped pledge pm 1s bemg worn on coat lapels again-a new group perhaps- but the same pride that has endured the test of time. Do you remember. . . ........ .. .. . We find it a lot of fun to look back over the files of the past. This is the 48th year of an official publication of the general fraternity (Tbe Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Joumrd was launched in October, 1909, and the banner was then d1anged to The Star a11d Lamp of Pi Kappa Phi in 1911), and it is interesting to thumb through the arcl1ives and look at the pictures-some were printed and some were not. We wonder what those folks in the "ole timey" clothes w_ere thinking then . . . or doing now. We wonder-Did he marry that girl he's with in this picture? Wouldn't it be fun to find out. Did all of the dreams they had back then fade away or did some come true? That answer would be up to each one of you. We have come across a poem that is good. We don't know the story behind it, but if our recollection is correct, the writer is now the prosperous and respected Mayor of Spartanburg, S. C. Will it? It's up to you. Don't think becoz you wear the pin an' hold yer head up high, That you are worthy to be called a true Pi Kappa Phi; Don't think that you've done reached yer goal when you are once tuk in, Yer obligation only starts, when you put on th' pin. You'll find two different types of boys in every bunch, I guess: Them that do their bit, and them that leave it to th' res': There ain't no room in a Pi Kap fold fer loafers, drones, an' suchYou can always help a little bit, if you can't do very much. You'll see a feller now an' then that's been out o' school a while. An' when he sees yer Star an' Lamp, he'll say with a wistful Smile, " Look here, ol' map, give me th ' grip; when I was young like you, Up there a-doin' Emory, I wuz a Pi Kap too!" Just put it down he ain't much force, if he begins that way, A-tellin' what he used to be, 'stead o' what he is today. He shoulda learned this long ago: A real Pi Kappa Phi When once he's one, he's always one, till he lays hi:n down to die. Then remember this, my firm good friend : a true Pi Kappa Phi Is avatar of all that's good an' noble, true an' high. So hitch yer wagon to th' Star, an' steer by th' Lamp's bright glow, An' ten to one, you'll play yer role, as on through life you go. - ]. N. HOLCOMBE, Zeta '21 Wofford College

The Fabulous Earl Blackwell

AS RALPH WALDO EMERSON said, "An institution is the lengthened shadow of one man." This applies to Celebrity Information and Researd1 Service which has its headquarters in New York City. The service is indeed the lengthened shadow of a gracious Atlanta gentleman, Brother Earl Blackwell, Pi '26, Oglethorpe University. A person who likes people an d is fascinated by celebrities, Brother Blackwell has built a fabulous business in furnishing clients, for a price, the right answers to questions about any of 100,000 famous people, some Jiving and some deceased. The information is furnished to hotels, airlines, furriers, newspapers, magazines, television studios, the FBI. Process servers receive no information. Celebrity Service with branch offices in Hollywood , London, Paris, and Rome, brings into the till about half ~ million dollars annually.

Brother Earl Blackwell

Service Protects the Product

According to a feature story in the Providmce (R. 1.) S11nday Jomnal September 15, copy of which was furnished The Star and Lamp by Brother Euchlin D. Reeves, Eta, Emory University, the customers pay $23 a month for the service, but they have to accept the fact that Celebrity Service always protects the product, not the customer. If someone wishes to get in touch with a celebrity who does not wish to be disturbed, the service is struck dumb regarding the whereabouts of the person sought. Most celebrities, however, are delighted to be available. Brother Blackwell knows which celebrities will endorse which products and what the fee will be. He knows which ones will participate in fashion shows. He can advise clients as to which ones might get drunk or in other ways be a bad risk. Issues Daily Bulletin

Besides the telephone service that is ava ilable to clients, customers get a daily bulletin that lists the arrivals and departures of the great in New York, Hollywood, London, Paris, and Rome. Subscribers to this bulletin include all the New York papers. "Hardly a gossip column or a feature story on a transiting celebrity is written without some reference to Celebrity Service,'' the Jot~rnal reveal ed. "When does a mortal become a celebrity? When Mr. Blackwell's instinct decides it. He does it largely on the basis of bow prominently a name shows up in the New 4

York papers. You can knock them dead in PawtLJ(~ but unless you make a paragraph in the New Yorks aren't alive. But once in, you're immortal. No .lil.es ever thrown away. 'We still get calls for informatJ 00 Rudolph Valentino, Eddie Duchin, and Mayor Guardia,' says one of the employees. Miss Starr Plays Stellar Role at Office

"Necessarily, President Blackwell spends a Jot time working out in the pastures of fame. The corpr1' is covered with photographs of Blackwell with ' Mesta, Blackwell with Ethel Merman, Blackwell ~ Joan Crawford, Blackwell with Faye Emerson, Black~ with Van Johnson, Blackwell lying on a loun~e the Riviera talking to Ginger Rogers.

Past National Treasurer

7fitROTHER J. EUGENE ;utJ DUNAWAY, JR., a past National Secretary of our Fraternity, died suddenly at his Detroit home last July 4 at the age of 59. Burial was in Arlington National Cemetery. Brother Dunaway, or "Gene" as we affectionately called him, was born in Orrville, Ala., in 1897 and was graduated from Howard College in the class of 1917, and served in World War I as an Ensign in the U. S. Naval Flying Corps. Following the War, Gene was general agent, Reliance life Insurance Company, Pittsburgh, until 1936, when he joined the sales department of the Tappan Stove Company, and later became territory manager for the Detroit area, which he served with distinction. Gene returned to Howard College in April, 1925, and was initiated, as an alumnus, into their Alpha Eta Chapter of PI Kappa Phi. He later served as District Archon, District II, for the State of Virginia. In December, 1939, Gene married Sallie Virginia Brown. In 1950 Gene won Tappan's fir t sales contest, and, instead of accepting their offer of a trip to Hawaii for himself and his wife, he chose to take the cash and attend the Portland, Oreg., Supreme Chapter Meeting or Convention of his beloved Pi Kappa Phi. At this convention Gene was elected National Secretary and served with distinction until 1952. At the Detroit Convention in 1948 Gene was one of the four alumni to start the Devereux D. Rice Memorial Fund with a pledge of $1,000. The chief credit for the installation of our University of Toledo Beta Iota Chapter goes to Gene as he was the "Spark Plug" for this group from the very beginning. Gene had a long list of civic honors, such as being past Department Commander, the American Legion, Past President, Detroit East Side lions Club, a member of

Past National Secretary J. Eugene Dunaway, Jr.

the National Society of the Sons of the Amerielln Revolution, and a Noble of the Mystic Shrine. Gene is survived by his wife, Sallie, and two children by 1 former marriage, Albert Dunson Dunaway and .M~~ Jean Dunaway, and a brother residing in Detr 011' William Dunaway, who is also a "Pi Kapp." d Sallie is a loyal friend to Pi Kappa Phi and help~.

that comes from playing big games. He is the athletic director who looks the implacable budget in the eye. The Little Round Man and his husky, hungry athletes have to live. " That is why the 1957 Bulldogs, with few regulars returning from a battle-scarred team that did not win too many games, had to face University of Texas, University of Michigan , and the United States Naval Academy in the first five weeks of the season. The Texas game brought a handsome return at the box office." The Michigan and N avy games held prospects for sizable additions to the coffer .

In Competition with Football The writer of the article, Ed Danforth, pointed out that colleges located in small cities like Athens have felt the competition of TV and the public's urge to go fishing, hunting, boating, golfing, or gardening on week ends. "Until we discover that a football game is more fun and decidedly less expensive than do-it-yourself outings," he said, "colleges not located in metropolitan centers wi ll have to hustle for a living ... which is what Wallace Butts and his Bulldogs are doing this year."

"Lafayette Escadrille," the first picture to be made about the earlier global conflict since the late thirties, is directed and produced by William Wellman who was a member of the Lafayette Escadrille. His son, William Wellman III, who also attended Duke University, played a leading role as his famous father in the movie. Brother Roberts' part in the movie was the result of a visit with the Wellmans last Summer when the senior Wellman invited him to try his hand at acting.

Dr. W. M. Brown, ODK, Gives Pointers For Successful living FOR THE BENEFIT of those of our readers who did not hear Dr. William Moseley Brown, a founder of Omicron Delta Kappa, when he delivered the opening Convocation oration at the society's national convention at St. Louis April 11 or did not read the digest of the oration in the July issue of Banta's Greek Exchange, The Star a11d Lamp is happy to publish the following highlights of that oration, permission for which publication has been granted by The Circle of ODK in which a digest of the address first appeared. Dr. Brown, Delta Kappa Epsi lon and Omicron Delta Kappa, is professor of educational psychology and director of the Elon College Foundation. Here are the highlights: " In the year 1909 there appeared a little volume containing two addresses by Dr. Charles William Eliot, longtime president of Harvard University and a powerful influence in American education a half century ago. "Education for Efficiency"

"One of these addresses dealt with Ed11cation for Efficiency, which Dr. Eliot defined as 'effective power for work and service during a healthy and active life.' 'This education for efficiency,' said he, 'is not a training which should cease with youth.' In this he was in agreement with a vast number of others; for example, with Prince von Bismarck, of Germany, who exclaimed on one occasion in the latter years of his life: 'I learn from life, I learn just as long as I live, I am still learning today.' "In the further explanation of his thesis Dr. Eliot emphasized, among other things, the absolute necessity of developing in young persons the proper kind of motive power or 'devotion'-a sort of commitment to a cause, as it were, which in his opinion constitutes the one indispensable element in successful living. 'Sentiment,' he says, 'is the real motive power in every human life.... One's whole character and whole activity must be dominated by some sentiment or passion.' For this is what gives life that wholeness and that type of integration, which is so lacking in many of the younger generation today. "To those of us, who are older and who, in their educational careers became well grounded in the classics, Horace's ode, Integer Vitae (l'V' hole of Life) expressed the ideal of the perfect youth in eloquent terms. And St. Paul's dictum: 'This one thing I do ... ,· gives convincing expression of his passionate devotion to the cause of the Man of Galilee. One of the founders of ODK, Dr. Henry Louis Smith, used to differentiate between those students who were endowed with their own motive power, and those who were not, comparing the former 16

to locomotives and the latter to mere box-cars lackinf in mental and moral energies. ' "Cultivated Man" Detlned

"In the second of his two addresses, to which I ha~~ alluded, Dr. Eliot discusses the subject of The Ne~ Definition of the Cttltivated Man, using the terms 'cW ture' and 'cultivated,' as he says, in Emerson's sense. " 'He is not to be a weak, critical, fastidious creatu:e, Dr. Eliot avers, 'vain of a little exclusive informat! 0~ or of an uncommon knack in Latin verse or mathematiC 0 logic; he is to be a man of quick perceptions, broa sympathies, and wide affinities; responsible, but indd pendent; self-reliant, but referential; loving truth an candor, but also moderation and proportion; courage?~5: but gentle; not finished, but perfecting. All autho~111c agree that culture is not exclusive, sectarian, or part1sa~ but the very opposite; that it is not to be attained 11 solitude, but in society; and that the best atmosphere fol culture is that of a school, university, academy, or ch~rc~ where many pursue together the ideals of truth, !lghl eousness, and love.' "From this statement of his premises President E~~ then goes on to emphasize the viewpoint that our J 0 is not to produce geniuses (these are probably born anr not made) but cultivated men and women, who sh~ ' be characterized by ( 1) skill and the ability to labor. 1~ the highest sense; (2) character and unyielding integr 1 ~, ( 3) a broad knowledge of nature and of men; ( 4) tit· power of literary appreciation and expression; and (5) what he calls 'constructive' imagination, which we no~ designate as 'creative' imagination. Explanation of Key Terms

"In the consideration of our subject, it may be wei! to define certain key terms. "1. Leadership. The Oxford dictionary defines til· word 'lead' as 'to occupy the front place, to assume til~ function of a leader.' And of 'Leadership' the same ao thority states that it means 'the dignity, office, or p~~ tion of a leader.' Thus, as members of ODK our J is to 'precede, be foremost;' to act in a very ;eal seP 5' as pioneers in our respective communities and callinf to be willing to 'count the cost' and to 'pay willingly D,t price' which such a position entails; to suffer lonelin~ criticism, and condemnation, if need be, because of . , 0 cause in which we are engaged. Such leadership \\'1.· followers inevitably because men recognize almost 10 stinctively these qualities in a tme leader.

EMBER,

1957

"l am not pessimistic about the outlook, let me hasten to say. I am a born optimist. But I am also a perfectionist. I still hold to ideals-and I am certain that most of us here do likewise-those ideals which have always characterized ODK and all men of good will everywhere and in every age. I know that nothing can defeat us in the realization of these ideals except ourselves and an abject surrender to situations and forces, which we fondly claim are both immediately and forever beyond our control. I believe that the spirit of man is indefatigable and invincible. It knows no limitations, either of time or of space or of circumstance. It reaches beyond all material barriers, follows the star, discovers the fountain of perpetual youth, achieves the fulfillment of the ancient alchemists' dreams by discovering the philosopher's stone, the elixir vitae, and the guarantee of eternal life even on the material plane. "Through the exercise of the God-given power of the creative imagination, we can appropriate to ourselves even today the ability to summon the genie by the use of Aladdin's wonderful lamp and to transport ourselves on the magic carpet to the ends of the earth as well as to the farthest reaches of the universe. "No problem, then, remains unsolvable, no situation unconguerable when properly approached. When this fact becomes a conviction with enough of us, the salvation of our civilization is assured. And without it, just as certainly, we shall find ourselves condemned to existence on a dead level of mediocrity and to attempting to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, even assuming that we might still have the ability to aspire to higher things. We dare be satisfied with nothing less than that sort of conviction, which leads us (as it did the founding fathers of our country) to a commitment of 'our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.' Qualities Needed in Leadership

"May I suggest what, among others, are some of the indispensable elements characterizing the kind of leadership which the world needs and which we aspire to supply. "1. At the outset it would seem that an attitude of reverence for God and all. of his c.reation is indispensable to all men of good will. Nothmg short of this will enable us to achieve that 'kindness of heart and gentleness of manners,' which distinguish the tnte gentleman from the ill-bred and the ill-mannered.

"2. The second earmark is closely akin to the first and is what may be termed 'respect for personality.' By this is meant, as one of my former professors put it 'treating a person as he is with reference to what h~ may become.' Our tendency is too often to treat him as he is with reference to keeping him as he is.

"3. Next is that broad knowledge of the past which provides the foundation for appropriate responses to the present and egually valid planning for the future, both individually and collectively. "4. Then there must be a keen and highly developed moral sense to govern ~ll human r~lationships. For everywhere that human betngs come mto contact with their (Contin11ed ott page 22) 17

th China as a great cultural orbit existed for two thousand years. A major facet of that culture was e principle of the Golden Mean. The Golden ~ean was not something definite, like the average 0 . numbers in a column of figures, but it was a Prmciple applied to all situations-a middle yround; it belonged to the Wisdom of the East. n.stead of looking for exact laws (even the natural sctentists have abandoned this end) the sociologists ~~ 71/d make progt·ess in h~lping to solve the prob.ms of human persona/tty, of man and hrs enVIronment, and of the ine~·easing dominar1ce of the ~~~Personal slate over human freedom .

Back to Altars Go back to your altars, and what you learn there, believe; believe that it will work, if you'll let it work in and through you; try, so long as you shall Jive, to live those beliefs, in every day of your lives, not just while you are in college. Be fanatical about it, if you will, but not superior to others, ever; be deeply concerned; be humbly gratefuland you'll find that, with God's help, the teachings of your fra/emity altars will work! For faith-belief- is not a gamble, but it is rather, a personal savings account. When needed, it is at hand and upon demand, dependable and negotiable any time and anywhere. - John Henry Frizzell, in The Shield

NIC Opens Office In New York City (Sto1·y furnished by the National lnterfratemity Conference)

THE NEW CENTRAL OFFICE of the National Interfraternity Conference was opened officially September 26 in Room 706 at 15 East 40th Street, New York City, after three months in small temporary quarters at the same address. Attending the opening were two Conference past chairmen, John MacGregor, Alpha Tau Omega, and Horace Nichol, D elta Upsilon, as well as senior officers of member fraternities, Sherwood Bonney, Beta Theta Pi; Harold Coulter, Delta Kappa Epsilon; Charles Gebhardt, Zeta Psi ; Robert Kelly, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and William Melniker, Pi Lambda Phi; also N.I.C. office committee members, George Chapman, Theta Chi, and Reyner Samet, Zeta Beta Tau.

Contributions Make Office Possible The office opening was made possible by the generous voluntary cooperation and contributions of a majority of the N.I.C. members as well as of an unnamed benefactor who agreed to contribute the money needed for the rent for a period of three years. Mrs. Grace Smith is the office secretary in charge of the office. The committee supervising the work under the direction of Conference Chairman Van Derbur consists of Messrs. Chapman, Murphy, Samet, and Nichol, chairman. Records to Be Brought to Headquarters It is anticipated that all the Conference records, now stored by past N .I.C. committee men and officers in attics and cellars and partly at L. G. Balfour Company, will gradually be brought to the office, sorted, collated, recorded, and filed for reference. The publications of the

conference will be stored there and be readily avaiiabJe. A current file of fraternity quarterlies will be maintained with other material the executive committee decides to stock. It is hoped that minutes of meetings will be issue~ immediately following the meetings via the office an that facilities for increased communications to college ad· ~inistrators and Interfraternity councils will create bet~er !raison with these important segments of the fraternt~ world. The details of setting up the annual Undergradof ate Conference, which have grown beyond the capacity 0 any i.ndividual to do, will also be handled by the o~ce as wrll much of the correspondence in connection wttlt the work of the Scholarship Committee.

Facilities for Writers, Authors to Be Provided

Gradually it is believed that most inquiries concerning fraternities will be sent to this office; answered if routine, or acknowledged and referred to the proper committee when necessary. Facilities for writers and authors will bf provided, and the contacts and liaison they need in pref' aration of stories concerning fraternities will be initiated by the office. In fact, it is anticipated that so much of the detailed work will be removed from the shoulders of officers and executive committee members that they will be free to meet. more often ~ith fraternity and college groups, th 0{ keepmg the field !nformed of thinking and programs 0e N.I.C. and reportmg new developments and ideas of UJ coJJeges back to the Conference.

\\1

To Handle Much Detailed Work It is evident that there is a great deal of detailed wo!~ to be done by the office. How far and how fast it gro~S beyond that work depends to a considerable extent 00 the management of the Conference and to the support given to the office by the members of N.I.C. and Interfraternity Foundation. The office may well mark { real step in the forward movement and progress 0 American college fraternities .

Ability, Ingenuity Govern Quality of Product Another interesting observation of this year's finalists which should be of interest to all chapters was the fact that two publications were printed, two were produced by "offset'' methods, and one was mimeographed. Therefore, regardless of your individual limitations as to media used, in the final analysis, it depends only upon the ability and ingenuity of your editor, his staff, and the support of the entire chapter to produce an eligible paper which will also become a vital and virile part of your chapter and assist immeasurably in your alwnni relations. The rating system is so arranged to put the emphasis on content and not on type of reproduction. The publication is intended for a chapter's alumni and is judged with that in mind. The best article I recall reading was in Alpha Xi's Wood bird. The Be-Ep of Beta Epsilon deserves special note for its alwnni news and follow-up. The alumni interest has been developed to the point that alumni contributions actively support the publication.

Special Effort Urged Many of the chapters who published only two issues during the college year had publications which were of a caliber at least equal to those eligible for final judging. To those chapters, we urge you to make a specia l effort this time to get out the third issue so that you qualify. To all the chapters who published papers this year, we say, "Keep up the good work and better luck next time. " To the few chapters who were among the missing, we say, "Get your editor (the historian or a member specifically designated) 'on the ball' and get your paper started early this year."

OPPORTUNITY TO HELP Hardly an hour passes in the life of a chapter without its opportunity to fortify the character and spirit of some member who is tempted to do the easy, the foolish, or even the harmfu l thing which would by just so much defeat the purpose which has brought him to college. - Alvan E. Duerr, in July Banta's Greek Exchange

Dr. Wilkins Is Co-Discoverer Of High Blood Pressure Drug JUST as the page forms are closing for this issue of The Stal' and Lamp, an Associated Press story from Boston reveals that Dr. Robert W. Wilkins, Kappa '25, University of North Carolina, and his co-worker, Dr. William Hollander, at Massachusetts Memorial Hospitals, have discovered a drug-called chlorothiazide-for the relief of high blood pressure. The story stated that this drug "may add up to 20 years to the life expectancy of some 20 million Americans who suffer from high blood pressure." The doctors said they had " tried the drug over a period of several months on 51 patients, with 'amazing, startling, and exciting' results." "Toughest" Cases Respond

"The doctors said that even the toughest cases of hypertension (high blood pressure) patients who failed to respond to all other forms of treatment, responded to chloroth iazide," the story continued. "Dr. Wilkins, president-elect of the American Heart Association, said hypertension strikes some 20 million Americans at the average age of 32 and reduces their li fe expectancy by some 20 years. "The new drug, he said, may add 20 years to the life of the high blood pressure sufferer. "The doctors explained that it has been known for some time that the kidneys and the salt content of the body are somehow connected with hypertension and that kidney disease produces high blood pressure. Experimented for Seven Years

"For seven years they experimented with diuretic compounds to determine if they could make standard drugs for reducing high blood pressure more effective. "They said chlorothiazide initially was believed to be merely a diuretic compound, but soon they discovered it also lowered high blood pressure in its own right. "The doctors said it now appears that chlorothiazide has a double action. It effectively reduces the body fluid and sa lt and it reduces high blood pressure by itself." ----- ~K~-----

The Fabulous Earl Blackwell (Conlilllted from page 5)

spent almost four years in Hollywood; however he made more friends than pictures. The results of his appearances in several short subjects at RKO convinced him that he should try another field of expression. He decided to be a playwright. He wrote a fulllength play which was produced on Broadway, and it lasted seven nights. "Soon thereafter, Mildred Seydell happened to suggest the 'information bureau,' and it has become a busi-

ness whose ever-growing success enables Mr. BlackweH to say, in complete honesty, 'I'm glad I failed in Holl) wood,' " the Atlanta newspaper story stated. "More than once his Celebrity Service has saved ' client from embarrassment and possible lawsuit.

A suicide. " 'There's some mistake,' Earl Blackwell informed tht reporter. 'Miss Love is very much alive. As a matter ol fact, she's appearing in a play in London at this moment. Mr. Blackwell, as usual, was right. " An investigation revealed that the 'Bessie Love' ol Greenwich Village had been impersonating the star fol some years. Even the woman's closest friends had bef!l taken in by her claims. "Mr. Blackwell's office receives many inquiries about celebrities in politics, art, publishing, music, and sport'but his theatrical files are the most used. " Listed in "Who's Who in America" 1

Brother Blackwell's own place in the world of celebr ties is attested by the appearance of his biograph)' ,r. "Who's Who in America." The tremendous "shadow" of Brother Earl Blaci-"''.d is built of this man 's sincerity, love of people, and ~n dustry.

Gamma Chapter, University of California, has sustained a great loss in the recent death of Major General David P. Hardy, Gamma '09, who lived at 500 Rivera St., San Francisco, Calif. Death occurred in Fremont, Ohio, September 16. Brother Hardy was buried September 20 at the Presidio of San Francisco, with full military honors. Brother Hardy has always been an outstanding member and alumnus of Gamma Chapter, devoting much of his time and money to its growth and perpetuation. He was active as one of the chapter's alumni directors in addition to holding down the job of alumni representative on the judicial board of the Interfraternity Council at the University of California. His interest has inspired other alumni to work alongside him, and he deserves much recognition for this dedication to the cause. Brother Hardy was commanding general of the Second Brigade of the California National Guard Reserves and former assistant superintendent of schools in San Francisco. A long-time champion marksman, he was taken ill in Camp Perry, Ohio, where he was taking part in the National Rifle matches with the California National Guard team . General Hardy was born in Petaluma, Calif., 67 years ago. · 'He was graduated from the University of Cali24

After World War I he went into high school teaching and football coaching in San Francisco. In 1924 he became assistant superintendent of schools. With the outbreak of World War II he returned to the Coast Artillery and soon won appointment as a brigadier general. Brother Hardy retired from his post with the school department in 1948 and gave up his active duties with the National Guard two years later. l-Ie was named head of the 2d Brigade of Guard Reserves in 1952. --------- ~K~---------

Brother Earl Samuel Fitz, Jr., Beta '47, Presbyterian College, of Hanover, Penna., died September 12, 1956. This 31-year-old University of Delaware graduate student was killed when his small foreign-make car apparently slipped from concrete blocks while he was working beneath it near the Coast Guard dock at Lewes, Dela. Brother Fitz, who worked at the University's Bayside Laboratory in Lewes, was found pinned beneath his car by a fisherman. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. It is believed that he was working on the front axle assembly when the accident occurred. The October, 1956, issue of the Est11arine Bulletin, published by the University of Delaware Marine Laboratories, was dedicated to Brother Fitz. The publication pointed out that the deceased received the A.B. Degree from Drake University. In June, 1956, he received the M.A. Degree from the University of Delaware. He studied also at several Summer schools and laboratories, including the University of Oslo. He did extensive research during his connection with the University of Delaware. It was explained that "the first prize in an activities contest for a collection of seashells, while stationed on the Aleutian Islands with the SeaTHE
