For What Are We Here? BY THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
FoR WHAT
ARE wE HERE?
Professor Murphy, better known as "Buck," at Roa-
~oke College has a habit of referring to all college stuents as enrollees. When questioned why, he often relllarked, "I just can't find a student in class these days," llleaning that college enrollees were merely in a transition ~tage and would become students when they graduated rom college. It would be then that a person would be~ome a student of those things which he was subjected 0 as an undergraduate. Professor Murphy would then agree that we are at an institution to be subJ'ected to va · r•ous experiences.
To agree in part would in no way prevent us from committing ourselves to a stand that the student should a~d must take advantage of the educational experiences 0 ered him as an undergraduate. The Fraternity system ~eds to stress the importance of such opportunities. Any sc~pter of Pi Kappa Phi not demanding excellence in olarship from its members can never be considered a strong chapter.

J'l J)
th 'P as one of their basic principles. This may be due to c e fact that any fraternity chapter exists on any given i;,us only because the college or university welcomes e ·. ven where the welcome is not with open arms the ~•.stence there is at the discretion of the institution. th •thout the existence and/ or sanction of the institution, e ~d fraternity chapter would cease to exist. Thus it is e~' en.t that we are an educational, or at least a quasifr Ucat.?nal, organization. Even an examination of any a ~tern,ty's symbols and paraphernalia will reveal the c now]edgment of this fact.
I
WHY TAKE TIME TO RENDER GREATER SERVICE TO SCHOLARSHIP? The fraternity system today is under fire from many quarters. Criticism, due and undue, is being leveled from old antagonists and from new adversaries. Perhaps much of the criticism is unjust, however, we wi ll never combat it without constructive action. Improved scholarship would then be worthwhile in this instance. It would be well to take note at this point that we have already mentioned the fact that most national fraternities do stress scholarship to some degree. Agreed some fraternities stress it more than others. The point that is to be made, however, is as follows: In no way can the National Fraternity do the actual labor involved in improving scholarship. The national can lay the ground work for improved scholarship, give impetus to it, try to create desire through awards, and can punish or render adverse criticism for failure. It is at the chapter level that we must finally seek the answer. The mechanics of improvement are too numerous to mention. If desire to improve is present within the chapter, the chapter itself wi ll arrive at a suitable course of action. Thus then, it would seem that the key to improving scholarship within an undergraduate chapter lies in the one word, desire.
Desire to improve is natural. When we become aware of a shortcoming, then there should be a natural desire to overcome it. The officers of any chapter should within themselves be desirous of improving wherein the chapter is weak. The officers should make every effort within their power to create this desire in the minds of an average member. Likewise, a good fraternity member, even though not an officer, should have an inherent desire to improve his chapter. There too, if he is made aware of a lack of adequate scholarship within the chapter, he should assist the officers in taking action wherever necessary.
ly ometimes one would believe that this was done pureas a part of discretion, for we find that much too often 0 leur fraternity scl).olarship average falls below a desirable li vhel. It .would appear that any organization, so establos .ed 'Wtth scholarship as a basic principle, would be a a &,'ca[ body wherein scholarship would flourish. Upon IV Sincere examination of the Fraternity system as a whole, e ~nd the opposite to be true. Agreeing that the all111 ate~ s average is a facetious term, it is all that we have "-' e present to use as a guide. On too many campuses the all-fraternity scholarship average below this 111ed~nd e •um for all men. This definitely should not be true.
Where in a chapter we find inadequate scholarship, and a lack of desire to improve, the question would then arise, "Are these real fraternity men?" The question is on ly natural, for if a person is a real fraternity man, he wi ll desire to seek improvement in his chapter or in his fraternity wherever there is a weakness. When the weakness is evident and the desire is lacking, then the conclusion must be drawn that we do not have the proper men in this particular chapter.
r r~ is now the hour that our fraternities must begin to leahze that they have a greater responsibility than mere~ to furnish social life with accompanying room and b'i~~d. The fraternity chapter must take its responsi1 lbes more seriously and be all-inclusive.
The final analysis gives us the following questions: Is sd1olarship important? Is our chapter weak in scholarship? If scholarship is important and our chapter is weak, do we have the desire to become better fraternity men by improving ourselves and our chapter?

WHAT is a Pi Kapp Scholar? The word "scholar" would lead one to believe that he is merely a "brain" with only lofty intellectual interests. Generally, we find that intellectual interests are but a part of the total undergraduate life of the Pi Kapp Scholar. The history of the Pi Kapp Scholar Award indicates interest in many fields. With some few exceptions, the Pi Kapp Scholars have divided their attentions among campus leadership honors, military affairs, athletics, and Fraternity offices. Usually the scholar could be classified as a well rounded individual. However, it is well to note that the selection of the Pi Kapp Scholars is made purely on the basis of academic excellence, and the honors, etc., of an individual are not known until after his selection. The nine Pi Kapp Scholars for 1959 are indicative of this well rounded individual (The number which follows the name of the man's chapter indicates the number of scholars that chapter has produced):

Scholars and Scholarship By BROTHER GEORGE C. GRIFFIN Dean of Studef!ts Georgia Institute of Technology
ScHOLAR -A learned man or woman. SCHOLARSHIP-The quality of knowledge and attainment of a learned man.
As
A COLLEGE STUDENT, what are we striving for? (1) To be a learned man. That is why Pi Kappa Phi encourages scholarship and selects a certain number of Pi Kappa Phi "Scholars" each year. (2) To attain the knowledge necessary to be a learned man. When a student makes an outstanding scholastic record, we produce the Brother George C. Griffin scholar. During this period as never before in history, scholars are needed. It behooves us all to give a little thought to just why we are in college. We live in an age of war or rumors of war, and without the learned person as a bulwark, our country will soon exist by the sufferance of others; and we will have, instead of the virile, alert peoples that developed this great country, one which will slowly degenerate into a nation of self-satisfied persons living on handouts from our superiors. We will be on the other end of the Foreign Aid Program. Ability to Meet Challenges of Era
Outside of the prestige that good scholarship brings to the individual chapter, we must for our own good determine to attain such grades that will enable us to meet the challenge of the new era in which we now Jive. We all owe somebhing to our country, so Jet us do our part by being the finest scholar, the best fraternity, and the best individual in our particular field of endeavor. Scholarship is the backbone of a young man's career. In analyzing yourself, it is easy enough to be led astray because unconsciously you recall those things which bolster your ego, but an honest appraisal of oneself is most rewarding. Paraphrasing Miss Helen Barnes of the State University of Iowa, who lays special stress on scholastic achievement: Performance and resul·ts- that is, what he has accomplished as a student. We must in some manner try to gain a better insight into interests and aptitudes. Attributes to Success
In addition to scholarship, here are a few you might check yourself on: Ability to work harmoniously with others. Leadership ability. 4
Initiative. In the Navy, they say initiative is doing the right thing at the right time. Creative thinking. Ability to express oneself well in writing. THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT. Ability to speak well. Mental capacity. Personal appearance. Adaptability. Industriousness. Character. Remember, honesty is the best policy. Health. Sense of humor. THIS IS MOST IMPORT ANT IN BUSINESS. Are your aspirations within your abilities?

NOT EVERY GRADUATE shoul enter a graduate or a prod· fessional school. Indee ' not every college grad~ate is eligible for admission· There is a considerable number of graduates wh 0 are able to enter graduate sd1ool but never complete the requirements for we doctoral degree, and sof]le do not attain even the mas· ter' s degree. Brother L. s. Mcleod Th ere may be any one or more of several reasons for this failure to qualify fo! admission or failure to continue to a successful coil' elusion of a graduate program, but certainly one of tbf most frequent factors in such failure is the lack 0 genuine scholarship. Some who gain admission to gradu· ate school are deplorably lacking in essential learning, even in the ability to write a good English sentence.

Scholarship in Industry By BROTHER CLAUDE E. CARR, President Rawlings Sporting Goods Company
WHAT IS THE vALUE of good scholarship to a graduate seeking employment in industry? On the surface, good scholarship is important only as one of a number of basic characteristics for which an employer looks in appraising a prospective employee. But let's look at it a Ji.ttle more analytically. An employer wants, in an employee, something 8 rother Claude E. Carr more than just the ability to perform the functions of his job. He wants someone \Vho can work well not only on his own but also with an~ for others; someone who has a potential for leadersh1p; someone who is not satisfied to do a job the same
~EBRUARY,

way it was done yesterday but who looks ahead ¡ to how it can be done better tomorrow. And good scholarship goes hand in hand with these attributes. Ability and Desire to Learn
It is a common misconception that to be a good scholar one must be favored with a high degree of native intelligence. This is not true. A good scholar is determined by how well he learns rather than how easily he learns. Good scholarship means, therefore, that the applicant has demonstrated not only an ability to Jearn but also a desire to Jearn. It means in effect that he has a firm foundation for service to his employer and upon which to build a future for himself. You have heard it said that if an employer is to d1oose from among several graduates applying for a job that, everything else being equal, he will choose the one who had the highest grades in school. While this is true to a degree, it does not tell the full story. In many instances good scholarship can serve to offset deficiencies in some of the other characteristics that come under the close scrutiny of an employer. To me, good scholarship is evidence of intelligence, initiative, ambition, application, resourcefulness and other personality traits that are valuable to both employee and employer. Ability to Communicate
Good scholarship is also generally a good index of the ability to communicate, an ability that is of the utmost importance in our modern business world which is a maze of paper work--letters, memos, reports, charts, statistics, and so on. We must know how to communicate with our workers, with our customers, with our stockholders, and with each other. A good scholar is much more likely to be able to communicate effectively--to be able to think creatively, to be able to prepare and interpret reports, to be able to get his ideas across to others. In our industry, as are many others, we are experiencing a period of greater competition than ever before. All of our planning revolves around meeting this competition by making our products and our service ever better while maintaining competitive prices. To do this we use the collective talents and experience of many people--employees, suppliers, consultants. The combined "learning" of these people might well be termed our "corporate scholarship." And our progress is dependent upon maintaining a good corporate scholarship. In seeking employment, the college graduate should be no less aware of competition and of the necessity of using rul of the tools at his command. Good scholarship is one of the most importan.t of these tools . --------~K¢ ---------

Obligation of Fraternity By BROTHER S. WALTER MARTIN, Ph.D., President Emory University THE PURPOSE of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, as stated in its constitution, is to "promote fellowship and mutual tmst among its members, to uphold the traditions and ideals of the colleges where its chapters are located, to encourage excellence in scholarship, and to inculcate in its members the highest ideals of Christian manhood and good citizenship." These Brother 5. Walter Martin are lofty ideals, and are certain to challenge young men taking membership rn the group. Challenge To Uphold Ideals But the challenge to the Fraternity to uphold and promote these ideals, especially in the case of scholarship, is even greater. For, after all, the objective of the college is education and this is the main job of the student and the teacher. Of course, not all education takes place in the classroom, laboratory, or the library. The campus itself should provide the atmosphere for scholarship and the desire to search for the tmth. By an atmosphere of scholarship, I mean a true dedication to learning, an essential framework within which teachers, shtdents, and educational tools may interact. The gauge of the greatness of any college or university is how well it achieves this atmosphere of scholarship. The college which lacks such an atmosphere fails in the very purpose of an educational institution. Fraternities can have mud1 to do with the creation of this atmosphere, and they must accept this responsibility. Fraternity, College Programs Must Be One
If fraternities are to be located on college campuses and draw their membership from college student bodies, they are obligated to make themselves, their program of activities, and their ideals and objectives a part of the college program. They become one. Therefore, to be worthy of their existence, fraternities must actively promote scholarship. Woodrow Wilson, when President of Princeton, feared that fraternities and outside activities, sideshows, as he called them, would swallow up the main circus or the college. During Wilson's time, a wide gap had opened up between the two college worlds, that is, between the curriculum of the college and the extra-curriculum. These two college worlds must never drift apart. In some institutions, there is a tendency for this to happen. Fraternities have a great opportunity in seeing that the two, curriculum and extra-curriculum, remain close to-
gether and that the curriculum alw.1ys gains the major portion of the attention. In aiding the academic program of the college and the welfare of the individual, the fraternity is great~) st_rengthened. If fraternities fail in this regard, it 1' d1fficult to justify their continued existence on college campuses. ---------~K~'--------

BROTHER CLIFTON R. CLEAVELAND, Mu '55, Duke University, one of Pi Kappa Phi's 1957 National Sd1olars, is now a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford where he is reading medicine at St. John's College. After three years there, he hopes to return to his former alma mater, Duke, to finish his medical schoolmg. d Brother Cleaveland's Brother Clifton R. Cleavelo" home is at 823 Albion Road, Columbia, S. C. . He has furnished The Star a11d Lamp the folloWing highlights of life at Oxford: . 1 "Aside from the fact that both Oxford and the typ1ca American university are peopled largely by students, the two bear little resemblance to one another.

The award held special satisfaction for me since there were several in my graduating class at Omega whose scholastic records were outstandi ng. This was possible, I believe, because of the Pi Kappa Phi policy of keeping adequate emphasis on gaining an education while providing a full social life for its members.

Meeting Time Extended To Four Days The National Council has directed that the 28th Supreme Chapter meet for four days instead of three as in Atlanta. It was felt that the extra day was needed in order to accomplish more in a more leisurely pace. Thursday afternoon and evening August 25 have been set aside for recreation. The Louisville Alumni have arranged a wonderful program of activities for the graduates and undergraduates at this time.
NATIONAL HISTORIAN JERVEY, LOUISVILLE ALUMNI PLAN VARIED PROGRAMS
In co-operation with the Louisville Alumni, the National Historian is anticipating a varied program of interesting and prominent speakers for the S~preme Chapter meeting. Not only wtll there be an outstanding speaker for the banquet on Saturday night, August 27, but there are plans also for an address on Fraternity affairs for each day of the convention. This should add ~~ch _interest for those alumni part•c•patmg.

Counselor Perry Reports Interest Is Running High The Traveling Counselor, Brother Paul Perry, reports that interest in the 28th Supreme Chapter Meeting is running very high throughout the country. Wherever he has been this year, the chapters indicate a large delegation to be in attendance. At least five Alumni groups have desires for the 29th Supreme Chapter and are planning a concentrated effort to have this 1962 meeting in their city. From all sides it appears that attendance and enthusiasm are running at an all-time high.

Dr. Will E. Edington
(It was originally intended to include an article covering the history of the PI KAPP SCHOLAR Award, however, it was made evident very early in 011r preparation that the history of the award is really the story of Dr. Edington a11d his devotion to the Fratemity.)
DR.
WILL E. EDINGTON has served as Chairman of the Scholarship Committee of the Fraternity since December 12, 1925. That is a long time. It adds up to a total of 34 years of continuous service to Pi Kappa Phi, and this makes him an out-front champion in this respect. He is "Mister Scholarship" in the Fraternity; not only because of his Brother Howard D. Leake length of service but also because of his sincere persistence in the cause of scholarship in general and in his driving desire to have Pi Kappa Phi rank among the highest in this channel of accomplishment. All Is Possible to Agile, Trained Mind In the sense that two plus two equals four, or that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, which is a simple way of expressing the exact and the finite in his loved mathematics, Dr. Will (he shortened it from William) has always taken the 'firm position and emphasized in his talks and writings that all is possible to an agile and trained mind, and you get such mental ability only by work and practice (continuous and persistent) in those classes you came to college to attend. In his endeavors to get this message over to the Frater14 -
~~a~ni
ed
nity he has stimulated and persuaded, he has argu ' cajoled, and scolded. His finest tool has been the scholarship award gram of the Fraternity, in which up to nine undergra u ates may be awarded the certificate and pendant of Fraternity for exceptional scholarship attained.

This scholarship program as formally presented to til~ Supreme Chapter of 1927 in Birmingham, and su~se quently adopted therein with heartiest commendation, was mainly the brain- and heart-child of Dr. Edington路 It was complete and thorough, as you might expect fro~ a dedicated mathematician and a high ranking scholar 1n his own right. It was he who outlined the rules of procedure, participation, and recognition. He created ~;e scholarship pendant as the insignia of the award . .P~ approved the certificate of award which was to accomp~ 0a each pendant. He initiated, established, and carne through.

Higher Standards-of Study Urged v 路 ed Every opportunity he has had, and he has not m.t\5 1 D many, if any, of doing some "needling" for htg ee standards of study, he has used such opportunity to ~J fullest extent open to him. He was Th e Star and Latli,P best columnist until 1942. When he was not remindr~ an the undergraduates of the coming awards of scho ~ ship pendants or announcing the year's winners, he VI . writing to offer statistics, quotations, memorandwns, ~e guments, and other supports of his central theme-t great value of sustained study and practice. d a h In the 1927 issue of The Star and Lamp appear~, 5 his first article under the heading of "Under the Studen { le Lamp," a title to become very familiar in the years . 0n the magazine which followed. He became the chatnP 10d contributing editor of the magazine and is by far away the dean of all editors ever concerned with publication in terms of time of service. ,~ ~ t1 a

th l!is use of the magazine for his work was broken by re coming of World War II, which interrup~ed the ~ ocesses and awarding of the pendants and certificates. fter the war, the program was promptly revived, but its r~omotion was transferred to the bulletin channels of the '~at' th lonal Office, and the shortened number of pages of th~ m~gazine were used mainly for the announcement of Wmners each year. The bulletins lend to greater frequency of contact and to its directness. rl i~ natural that Dr. Will speaks of "his boys" when ter e~nng to that long list of astute minds of the Frat 01 ty. Two hundred and twenty-two of them. He likes ~ talk about them and to review their accomplishments ~ ter their entrance into society's ranks. Q11od erat emonstrandt~m, in a sense! Awards Made to Dr. Edington
its The Fraternity, in ways open to it, has tried to ~xpress 10 1deep obligation and appreciation to Dr. Edmgton. i 930 he received the certificate of Distinguished Serv~h of the Fraternity. In making this award, the Supreme adapter of that time had to take action to waive an in °Ptt;d policy related to the merit awards that "no man c't a~bve service should be eligible for nomination for s~bon." It was a special touch on the shoulder for the T olarship man. On March 3, 1951, he was awarded a tJ\V~nty-five Years Service Plaque. This took place at an~silon Chapter on the occasion of a district conclave, ll Was presented by the then Executive Secretary W. iner~ard Jones, Jr. In 1958, at the Supreme Chapter held . . ., tlanta, the Will E. Edington Sd1olarship Award ta~ launched. This is an award to the chapter which atlOs the highest scholastic rating during each year. :n~nd today, comes thi~ special Scholarsh!p Edition of ar Star and Lamp, wh1ch must of necess1ty be framed tind "Mr. Scholarship." 1 r.

citizenship, medal from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Silver Beaver from the Boy Scouts of America, presidency of the Greencastle (Ind.) Rotary Club and presidency of the Indiana Academy of Science. He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Mathematics Association of America, American Mathematics Society, American Association of University Professors, Indiana Academy of Science, and Iowa Academy of Science. His honorary fraternities include Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, and Alpha Phi Omega. Dr. Edington put his scientific knowledge to good use in World War I as Sergeant First Class in the meteorological section of the Signal Corps. Sets Goals by Precept, Example
Thus, it can be stated accurately that Dr. Edington has set the goals of scholarship achievement for the Fraternity both by precept and by example. Has it been a distinguished service to the Fraternity? Veritably, and beyond measure of the limited human comprehension. He has that quality of a remarkable devotion to a task or responsibility. The Fraternity has been a beneficiary of that great quality. And as a result, Dr. Will E. Edington has earned something far and above a distinguished service certificate or any other form of tangible recognition. It is that immeasurable and intangible something of fixing one's personality permanently in an on-going organization. Here is a compound of affection, respect, and an everpresent sense of indebtedness for work done and which will continue on in the tenets, policies, and events of the scholarship program. ---------~ K¢ --------

llJARY,
1960
DURING PLEDGE TRAINING, each one of us was made familiar with a page in the "White Diamond," concerning the credo of Pi Kappa Phi. The words on this page are idealistic words which are often forgotten during our life as undergraduates. If we could only keep these words burning within ourselves as undergraduates, we might attain the lofty ideals of fraternalism. In this changing period for institutions of higher learning, in which we can see the pendulum swinging back to academics, I challenge each undergraduate to review this section of his pledge training, noting particularly the lines of our credo pertaining to scholarship. "You can well be proud of the accomplishments of your chapter on our campus. They are an outstanding group of men, but they do not fully realize their responsibility to the organization in scholarship." How often I hear these very words in my discussions with the deans across the country. How many times, also, I hear chapters list their problems and wonder why these tribulations are befalling them: low membership, financial difficulties, house problems, social activity support.

Rho Wins Edington Award
ceived by Beta Iota at the University of Toledo, our sec· ond place winner. The Edington Award was .first announced at the 26th Supreme Chapter meeting in Atlanta, Ga. Named after our National Scholarship Chairman, it is intended to perpetuate his ideals and devotion in the form of J permanent Scholarship memorial. Carved from a 21~· inch-diameter piece of solid myrtle wood, it is truly 1 work of art and a .fitting salute to Dr. Edington. The .award will remain with the winning chapter for one full year. Displayed prominently in a chapter hou~e, it will add greatly to the atmosphere. Not only wiil 115 beauty enhance the house but it will also serve as a coo· stant reminder to the chapter of its obligation to the college or university. While the Edington Award is intended to recognize our chapter maintaining the highest scholarship avera~e, another form of recognition has been created for 0e 10; dividual within each chapter maintaining the h1ghf,' 5 scholastic average. This is known as the STUDEN1 LAMP KEY AWARD and will be presented each SpCJ 08 on National Scholarship Day. This will be May 6 for 1960. These two awards are but another effort on thf part of Pi Kappa Phi to impress upon our members thf value of excellence in sd1olarship.

sp FOR THE YEAR 1959, Rho Chapter at Washington and Lee University has been awarded the Will E. Edington Award for the outstanding scholarship average as an undergraduate chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. The award has been in the possession of Mu Chapter at Duke University, last year's winner. The basis for making this award is the Interfraternity Scholarship Reports which gave Rho Chapter an index of 13.80. This compares to the index rating of 10.30 re-

leaves the major portion of the week to be filled, and the responsibility for doing this rests with the individual. There are lectures and labs, but no one cares whether or not they are attended. Oxford lectures, in fact, are for the most part guaranteed cures for insomnia; only a few of the more gifted lecturers can hold more than a handful of listeners after the initial lecture of each term. " Oxford is not a 'system.' Tutors may advise reading certain books, and lab instructors may suggest a working schedule, but there are no definite requirements for the great amount of time remaining after tutorials and lectures. This time may be spent in the pubs, in going to concerts and plays, in reading the books that one never had time for before, or on the playing .field. Most people dabble in all of these. Other devices to insure against too much studying are the countless clubs and societieseverything from political associations to Scottish dancing. The result of all this is that a bare minimum of work16
i.e., studying in the single area of instruction- is done during term. "The terms themselves are three in number-each Jas~ ing eight weeks with six-week vacations at Christmas ~n Easter and sixteen weeks during the Summer. It is dunn~ these that material uncovered during term is hamrnere in. But here again, there is no one to say how long or how hard one should hammer. 1 Degree Depends on Final Examinations
"Two or three years after coming up to Oxford the student faces the day of reckoning in examinations. ~n the papers that he writes during the several days of test~n~ depends his degree.

ill of these things are very real .to ~ll of y~u, yet many
thrnes you don 't sit down and obJecttvely stnve to get to the base of these very problems. The attempt to relate hern to other weak areas of operation is not made. Peraps this can be traced to the fact that it would be a Parnful experience to realize that our lack of effort in ~~ . shor rntc . endeavors would be reH7c~e.d in . these other tcomtngs . Let me trace this posstbtltty a ltttle further. As 1 I visit with the various chapters in Pi Kappa Phi, darn amazed at the number of men we lose each year, l"ue_ to academic failure, and at the chapters that are 1'1llrted in the number of social functions held due to the .scholastic average which the chapter received the f revrous semester. These restrictions are a heavy burden aor the chapter to shoulder, and many times this lack of ic~ornplishment in academic work has such a far reaching c~ Uence that the entire moral tone of a chapter is in a~ged. Financial records and operations are handled stuJ · e same manner that the poor scholar handles his ti res-worked on whenever convenient. Social funca~~s are haphazardly planned, not followed through, s end up being a total flop, thusly tearing down the Park of existing spirit and drive. Alumni are not kept

aware of the chapter's activities and need for moral support. It should now be obvious to each one of you undergraduates that many of our chapter operational shortcomings can be directly attributed to the fact that we are not strong enough to face the challenge of increased emphasis upon academics and the ever expanding cultural advantages of our institutions. Take a close, careful look at the powerful words concerning scholastic achievement, as stated so completely in our undergraduate credo: I believe that the ideal chapter is made up of men "Who bring credit to the fraternity by striving to attain the highest possible standard of scholarship." These are strong words, words that you as an undergraduate must seek to attain; then watch your chapter grow to the prominence it desires.

Out of the Past-or-Forty Years Ago (From The Star and Lamp of March, 1920)
"THE SONG IS ENDED, but the melody lingers on." Thus it was in early 1920, following the December 31-January 1 and 2 Convention at the Selwyn Hotel, Charlotte, N. C. The lead story gave a resume of the proceedings. · In his opening remarks, Editor Wade S. Bolt stated that "so many pleasing occurrences, such splendid accomplishment in the way of legislation, the renewing of old acquaintances and the making of new, crowned by the successful banquet, give us so many suggestions for thought and expression that we are handicapped in ability to construct properly our article." Officers and delegates began arriving December 29 although the first session was not held until the afternoon of the 31st. The feature of New Year's evening was the banquet, full menu for which-from oyster cocktail to demi tasse and mints-was published. There was a considerable amount of speaking, and during the evening Brother John D. Carroll, Lexington, S. C., retiring Eminent Supreme Archon, "was made the recipient of a silver service set which would tempt a king." The gift was from the Supreme Chapter and the 12 undergraduate chapters. The writer of the story commented that "the silver service was truly appropriate, inasmuch as announcement had been made, just the day previous, of the coming marriage of Brother Carroll and Miss Carrie Ruth Efird of Lexington, S. C." Officers were elected as follows : Brother Roy J. Heffner,. Berkeley, Calif., Eminent Supreme Archon; Brother Henry G. Harper, Charlotte, N. C., Eminent Supreme Deputy Archon; Brother James W . Setze, Jr., Atlanta, Ga., Eminent Supreme Grapter; Brother J. L. Ellis, Jr., Madison, Wis., Eminent Supreme Thesaurophulax; Brother Wade S. Bolt, Otterbein, Ind., Eminent Supreme Journalist; Brother John E. Havis, Birmingham, Ala., Eminent Supreme Historian; Brother Carroll, Eminent Supreme Counselor; Brother BooneS. Bowen, Mt. Pleasant, S. C., Eminent Supreme Chaplain; Brother D. M. Hayes, Emory University, Ga., Eminent Supreme Thurepanioiktes. These were chosen to the Supreme Council: Brother J. S. Bryan, Wilmington, N. C., for the East; Brother W . L. Simpson, Sabetha, Kan.; for the West, and Brother William Melvin, Charlotte, N. C., At Large. Alumni chapters were authorized. The use of the state name preceding the Greek letter or letters in a chapter's name was officially dropped. Standard forms for chapter accounting were adopted. Berke-
18
ley was chosen as the Convention's next meeting place. The Convention summary was preceded by a long, folded page, a picture of the Convention officers and delegates. The story was followed by the pictures of three of the officers, Brothers Heff· ner, Harper, and Bolt. Eminent Supreme Grapter Setze wrote an en· thusiastic report of the installation of Rho Chapter at Washington and Lee February 21. Brother Setze was accompanied to Lexington, Va., by Brothers Harper, Charlie Hazelhurst, and Neveland Brand. "I had looked forward to meeting a fine lot of boys, but never once did I hope to meet the refre· sentative and splendid fellows that Ben Powel of Eta, the organizer of Rho, introduced to us . . . The men introduced to us as future Pi Kappa Phis were all that we could ask for, and I am sure they will ever be a credit and a help to the Fra· ternity. With the help of the initiating team from Xi Chapter, I must say that it was the most impressive and best initiation that I have ever at· tended," Brother Setze declared. The list of brothers who composed the "Baby Chapter" follows: Brother Wells Horace Rutherford, Sherman, N. M.; Brother A. Ben Powell, Red Level, Ala.; Brother Lewis Waters Milbourne, Baltimore, Md.; Brother Shirley James Robbins, Benton, Penna.; Brother Lawrence Waller Davis, Rural Retreat, Va. In beautiful language and fine sentiment, Brother Bryan called on all brothers to rally to the support of Kappa Chapter at the University of North Carolina in its efforts to purchase a house. He asked not for gifts but fq_r the purchase of shares at $100 each in Kappa's stock company. He pointed out that this was an opportunity not only to help Kappa but also to take advantage of a good business proposition. The stock would pay 6 per cent, and Kappa would have the privilege of retiring the shares as money was avaifable in the treasury. Kappa bought a 14-room house for $15,000. Brother Harper reported that when he and one or two other local alumni were planning for the Convention, they found that there were alumni living in Charlotte whom they did not know. Immediately after the Convention, an alumni chapter was formed. Brother Harper urged the organization of at least 15 alumni chapters. He pointed out that the responsibility for starting the ball rolling would devolve on the undergraduate chapters as they have a record of all alumni.

This float won for Beta Sigma, Northern Illinois University, the chapter's third consecutive flrst-place trophy In the annual Homecomins parade.
"They said it cou ldn 't be done"-this was the over-all theme for the 1959 Homecoming Parade at Northern 111inois University. One of the bases for judging t he floats is application of the en tire parade theme. The title for Beta Sigma's production, in cooperation with Sigma Kappa Sorority, was "They said Troy was invinci bl e, so goes Western ." Western Ill inois University was the opponent in the Homecomi ng football game. The 17-foot horse, standing between two arches, was covered with papiermache and plaster, and painted go ld . The arches were covered with thousands of tiny cardboard squares painted flat white with random patterns of turquoise and gold squares. Back of the second arch was a 15-foot statue of Helen of Troy, standing before a flaming sacrificial urn. Forty Sigma Kappa slave girls, barefoot and in turquoise costumes, pu lled the float. This presentation won for Beta Sigma their third consecutive first-place trophy in the annual Homecoming parades. BETA TAU, VALDOSTA STATE COLLEGE In elections held at Valdosta State College last Spring, the brothers of Beta Tau Chapter were victorious in every office for which they campaigned. They are: Pledge Jim Broxson, President of the Student Government Association ; Brother John Jackson , Treasurer of the association; Beta Tau 's Sponsor, Miss Jean Hooks, Secretary of the association, and Archon Tony Corso, Junior Class Representative to the SGA.
