When a member's donations total $25 the donor will be designated a Pi Kappa Phi Patron, and a badge and certificate will be issued to him to indicate his standing. The certificate will make him a life mem­ber of the Supreme Chapter in the sense that regist:a­tion fees to the biennial conventions of the fraterruty will not be charged to him. The badge will be a recog­nition button with a P within the emblem of the star. Such a man will be considered as having fuJly met the requirements of The Corps, although he is at liberty to give more.

Emergency Features

As has been indicated, in its initial stages the mem­bership fee and the additional dollar requ~sted is. to be placed in an emergency fund for use m the Im­mediate future. This has been a difficult year for fra­ternities. Many national organizations have lost chap­ters and continue to lose them. The roll of defunct chapters is steadily growing. Decreased enrollments in colleges and universities plus decreased individual allowances for education have been the major ob­stacles to the continuance of chapters. Men able to finance fraternity membership are scarce, despite radical reductions in costs in all departments of chap­ter activity. Undergraduate members have been forced to leave college or to avail themselves of outside liv-

1 00% Undergraduate Chapters Presented with the opportunity of joining

The Corps with no emergency fees attached, several undergraduate chapters have reported 100% enlistment of their active members:

Others have signified their intention of com­ing through with a like response.

ing facilities operated by individuals facing cut-throat competition and operating on a less than cost basis. Banks have closed and tied up much needed funds.

It is a pure and simple case of survival of the fittest. Those chapters which can hold out longer are the ones which are to survive. Stamina is the word. That Pi Kappa Phi has not yet closed the doors of one of its chapters brings no sense of elation to us, for no one knows better than we of Central Office how near several chapters are to the act of purchasing a passage to limbo. It has been a marvel to us that they have not made the trip, even as their continuance has been a revelation of the undergraduate type of courage, doggedness, and loyalty. They have fought and are still fighting a splendid battle. If a chapter is slated for ultimate defeat, it will be a gallant one.

An injection of financial aid into the veins of the chapter is needful in several instances, we feel, in order to stimulate the chapter to greater efforts in its battle to continue its existence. Its further con­tinuance is its remaining hope, for there is another college year coming with its chance of pledging under possibly more favorable conditions. Most of the chap­ters in a precarious position are meeting to a satis­factory degree the current operation demands of their budgets, having slashed overhead costs of operation right and left; yet there has been no opportunity of accumulating a bit extra to liquidate accounts of ancient standing, reduce fixed indebtedness, or meet notes for furniture or other equipment essential to the operating needs of the chapter. To bring aid to these chapters is the purpose of the emergency phase of The Anniversary Corps.

A comparatively small amount of money judicious­ly used would serve to relieve the tension to an ac­ceptable degree in several instances and, in all prob­ability, save the units of the fraternity involved.

The national organization decided to place the matter in the hands of the general membership. Out

4

of the decision evolved the idea of the Anni'· Corps with its emergency features. In the earl! of March the call was issued to all on the fll list, the first plea for financial assistance ever to the membership by the national organization response has been heartening despite the rnisf1

of having the banking moratorium leap out as~ unexpected and paralyzing obstacle. I

Supreme Archon Wagener Leads Wal An inkling of the manner with which the JJ11

of the fraternity would accept the request and was indicated in the response of Supreme Arch Pelzer Wagener, when the idea was presented 1

for official approval by Central Office. He prl returned a message of hearty approval and en the first check received by this office for meJJ1D in The Corps. Greatly encouraged thereby, II·

New York Convention Postponed By Leo H. Pou, Supreme Secretary

ON MARCH 6 announcement was sent to the ac­tive chapters of the decision of the Supreme

Council to postpone the New York convention for one year, or until August, 1934. This statement is intended to carry the news to our entire membership, and to make certain that the reasons for the post­ponement are understood by all. The members of the Council made their decision final only after submit­ting to the chapters the question as to whether the convention should be held this year as originally scheduled. The vote was almost unanimous in favor of postponement.

This decision should cause no member of Pi Kappa Phi to become discouraged about the fraternity's pres­ent condition or its future welfare. The country's economic paralysis has affected colleges and college fraternities perhaps to a larger degree than it has ordinary business and industry. Probably very few members of our order have escaped it. In our personal affairs, in our chapters and in our national organiza­tion we have been forced to place "first things first," to carry out the absolutely essential parts of our pro­grams, and to omit, for the time being, many very

desirable and wholly worthwhile, but not reatl) dispensable things.

In that spirit we have decided to postpone the vention. We wished to have the gathering this' We feel the need of the inspiration which a coP tion always affords. We shall miss the fine fel ship sud1 a meeting fosters among brothers frorn' E to coast. But right now it is more important f 1

to conserve our resources, to trim our individualicati< chapter and national out-go to meet the lessenf'hat come, and so to ride out the storm. -Ieigl

We are not alone in taking such action. Many their national fraternities and sororities have postp ith their conventions. Very few are carrying out hey · usual schedules without material curtai lments. tnsot

Let us begin now, in each of our undergra ege and alumni chapters, to plan for a bigger and P As convention in 1934 than the fraternity has ever kfltmJy Let us use this postponement, not as an excuSilensi time-wasting regret, but as an opportunity at 1

strengthen ing our several positions. And then, ''usee August, 1934, does arrive, let us attend the conveCt fev in such numbers as will surprise even our New 1n th brothers themselves. 'ecul

Pi Kappa Phi to Enter Drexel tn ir

Institute ~7i:f

THE formal petition of Kappa Sigma Delta Fra­ternity of Drexel Institute, Philadelphia, has been

granted by the fraternity and arrangements are being made to install the organization as a chapter of the fraternity on May 19 and 20. It will become the Alpha Upsilon Chapter.

Following a protracted period of contacts, negotia­tions, visits, inspections, and correspondence, the very attractive formal petition of Kappa Sigma Delta made its appearance in the fraternity channels early in Febru­ary. It was favorably received and aroused much commendation. In due time the votes of the chapters and Supreme Council were called and the tabulation showed a unanimity of opinion in favor of granting the petition. In the latter part of March the verdict was communicated to the local.

This new addition to the chapter roll comes under the active sponsorship of the Philadelphia Alumni, which, under the leadership of Archons Lewis E. Shemery and Norman G. Johnson, made the pre­liminary contacts with Kappa Sigma Delta and has been since assiduous in pushing its cause.

6

Kappa Sigma Delta is the oldest and most pri1 vas nent of the social fraternities on the campus, havi~fl~~, joyed a healthy existence since its founding in I 7 1g1

It comes to the fraternity with the unqualified ~se!J hearty recommendations of the faculty. By ado~w\1

it as a chapter, Pi Kappa Phi becomes the first nail. tt to enter the Drexel campus. Four locals remain. :oun

Drexel Institute was founded in 1891 by Ant :>far J. Drexel. It has had a splendid history in the~ Te following. The enrollment for 1931-32 was If 1

It is co-educational. Gifts of the Drexels, of C" ore, H. K Curtis, of A. J. Drexel Paul, and others"~~ augmented the plant and equipment of the instil11.:~10 to the extent that it is valued at present at over s-" ts, million. The work of the Institute is recognize>. In being of excellent caliber by the outstanding accfllect ing associations, including the Association of ;.~t re can Universities. The degree of Bachelor of Sollnd is awarded in engineering, business, and home e~m nomics. 0Ptn

The establishment of Alpha Upsilon will makethe forty-second active chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. _

lumbia, where tl1e question had been so sharply raised, heartily concurring.

The answer was this: Fraternities should not be abolished, if for no other reason than that they could not be abolished at present without substitute group­ings of undergraduates promptly taking their places.

These substitute groupings would lack the tradi­tions of the existing organizations, tl1eir alumni back­ing and the control over them thus indirectly exercised. They would lack also the powerful incentive which consciousness of historic continuity (even in terms of college generations) gives toward a line of conduct decently respectful of public opinion and regardful of accepted standards- including, of course, local academic standards. The new groups, more accidental and less responsible, would be less in tune with the college spirit, if not with purely academic aims.

The minimum bill of health also acquits the fra­ternities of "moral delinquency." The exuberance of youth is not to be denied, but this exuberance is no monopoly of undergraduates decorated with Greek­letter pins.

In Campus Politics

Political activity among undergraduates on their own campus is a vital part of American college life, as politics in the larger field is a vital part of Ameri­can life when the campus has been left behind. It is not denied that the fraternities as organized groups do play politics. Sometimes the game of politics as played by students is little if any better than the game of politics played by their elders. Sometimes "ring rule" is set up in a college by a combination of fra­ternities using steam-roller methods, and offices are parceled out among the members of the ring and their friends. But precisely this same sort of thing happens in colleges without fraternities and wiili only the local organizations which local conditions have produced.

Also the ruling organization may be a ring of anti­fraternity men in colleges where fraternity rule has been challenged. In general, however, campus politics have tended to fade out of the foreground of ilie picture, since interest in college offices has tended to

7

grow less acute and interest in sport-and even in academic pursuits-to increase.

Each of two big universities reported the number of fraternities represented by local chapters on the campus at sixty. Two other universities had not far from half than number. In the case of all four, it was noted that the fraternities had served a useful purpose for many years by taking over the job of housing and feeding undergraduates which the uni­versity had neglected to assume. The alternative was living in boarding houses and private lodgings-if they could be found.

More Dormitories Systems of dormitories, in process of building at

all four of the places in view, are changing materially that aspect of things-and tending automatically to reduce the number of fraternities and chapter houses. The depression is also working that way--cutting

Nevertheless, the dean of students of one universities with three score fraternities goes on 1

This is a fair indication of a general drift, sincc,f Br colleges have inaugurated (and many have rnadl r 0 progress in) ambitious building programs, th1m N of which is dormitories for all undergraduates. tim

Fay taught this course until he left for Europe this fall. Thus he came into intimate contact with almost every student. Those who did not meet him in their first year because of their advanced qualifications, usu­ally continued to study chemistry, and worked under him in organic chemistry, metallurgy or mineralogy.

Pi Kappa Phi did not initiate him until February 25, 1929. That fall, however, the alumni of Alpha Xi, as a remembrance of the hours spent under his tute­lage, presented him with a large Pi Kapp pin, outlined with alternate pearls and rubies. He was proud of the gift, and wears it either on his coat lapel or high on his vest, so that it stands forth for all to see.

Dr. Fay believes in illustrating the points in his lecture work and in his daily life by actual demon­strations or by relating some analogous and illuminat­ing story. His supply of anecdotes is apparently un­limited, and it is doubtful that any situation could arise that could not find some paralleling tale in his collection. However, it is his demonstrations which everyone remembers. Branded in the mind of many a student is the sight of the doctor bending down behind his lecture desk, and, with considerable effort and much clatter, lifting to the desk top a long length of iron chain, which must have served to anchor some rather large ship in its day. The links of the chain were each about six inches in length. The purpose of

Informative and Interesting Studies of Pi Kappa P r

Dr. R. D. McKenzie Says American Cities Are Going Feminine

A MERICA'S big cities are going feminine, accord­r-\ ing to a monograph by Dr. Roderick D. Mc­Kenzie (Alpha Delta), head of the department of sociology at the University of Michigan. It was made public today by the research committee on social trends, appointed by Herbert Hoover.

The monograph, entitled "The Metropolitan Com­munity," says that in 65 of the 93 cities with popula­tions of 100,000 or more there were in 1930 more women than men. Ten years earlier, in 1930, there were only 43 large cities in which females outnum­bered males.

Change in Trend

"The ratio of males in the population to 100 fe­males in 1900 was 98.6; in 1910, 101.7; in 1920, 100.4, dropping to 98.1 in 1930, or lower than at the beginning of the century," the report says. "The city ratio of white males, native and foreign born, to 100 females was 99 in 1900; 102.1 in 1910; 100.5 in 1920. Receding further in 1930 to 98.4, native white males in cities in 1900 were 96.9 per 100 females; in 1910, 97.3; in 1920, 96.9 dropping to 96 in 1930."

"It will be observed," writes Dr. McKenzie, "that the proportion of males to females in the total ur­ban population and in each of its several classes is on the decline. The influence of the large influx of for­eign immigrants during the first decade of the cen­tury, a high proportion of whom were males, is in­dicated in the rise in the sex ratio in 1910 over 1900. The effect of this migration, however, had disappeared by 1930, when the proportion of males dropped to less than in 1900.

Cities More Feminine

"The extensive migration to cities of native women of native parentage is indicated by the decline in the urban sex ratio [males per 100 females] of this group in the last decade, a decline from 98.6 to 97.3.

Notwithstanding the high proportion of adult for­eign males in American cities, the sex ratio of the ur­ban population, twenty-one years and over, was 98.2 in 1930, only slightly higher than the sex ratio for the total urban population, which was 98.1.

"The general tendency in the larger cities is to­ward greater femininity; only twenty-eight of the ninety-three cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more in 1930 contained more males than females, as com­pared with forty-three of the same cities in 1920. "­Chicago Trib11ne.

It is the purpose of tests now being conducl' !h Dr. Lauer to determine drivers of this type and, ;anot the law permits, to have their licenses revoked. e!~t:

Dr. Lauer considers the accident-liable type as it wa! who cause nearly 50 per cent of all accidents Oitern n highways by their foolhardiness, excessively fasttell ir ing and disrespect for other persons' safety. rogrrep~rt these two types cause nearly 90 per cent of the (the ~ accidents. rrer.

The accident-free, about 75 per cent, are tht ~s tl mal or above type, states Dr. Lauer. "They are sl e lo in the handling of their car and show control of thr:n car in difficult circumstances," he declares. "lt~ Th show that they average one accident or less in . en 16 to 20 years' driving." Ctrcuit

Method of Physics Instruction Intro­duced by Dr. R. L. Petry, Xi

IN THE course of lecturing to classes in Physics, problems of teaching which involve motion arise

frequently. At present models and laborious black­board diagrams with word pictures are used in an at­tempt to meet the students' difficulties with such topics. But experience with these methods has in­dicated that in many cases an animated drawing would have unique advantages, especially since a .film can be shown over and over again until the slower stu­dents have grasped the idea.

With this in mind a survey of Physics texts was be­gun and topics that might profit by illustrating were selected tentatively. In considering the method of pro­ducing such projects it seemed very advantageous for the teacher to work out these animations himself, since then, as he discovered ead1 difficulty, he could solve it in connection with his own text and could integrate it with his course successfully. At first this seemed im­possible because of the equipment and time supposedly necessary, as well as the technical skill involved; but a period of experimentation has demonstrated to the writer that with ordinary amateur motion picture equipment, a tracing board, usual drawing supplies, and a little celluloid, usable animations can be made with a moderate amount of time.

The simplicity of the method has several advan­tages. First, the method can be applied best in cases where the problem .first appears as a genuine difficulty in teaching, and the animation is then used to solve it. A problem may sometimes be worked out within a short time after it arises. This adds greatly to the in­terest of the work. In the second place, the cost in time and money is small enough so that the interested teacher can discard entirely films of doubtful teaching value which he may have made. He can remake these with the benefit of the experience gained, profiting in particular from the reaction of the class to his .first attempt. In the third place, the method should make possible a greater variety of expression in this field. Standardization in teaching films will have its advan­tages in a later stage of development. But at present there are too many able teachers in all fields who have had no opportunity to contribute their ideas as to the best use of motion pictures in teaching. As a result, these have Jacked constructive interest in films. Possi­bly the best means of arousing this latent interest and of drawing out original and constructive ideas about the planning of teaching films lies in presenting the opportunity of making .films themselves, even if only a few feet of sketchily-made pictures.

Finance Committee Is Reorganized

THE recent action of the Supreme Council to re­organize the Finance Committee is recorded in the

following form in the minutes of the fraternity: WHEREAS, The present emergency requires prompt action

on the part of the Finance Committee in connection with the handling of the securities of the fraternity, and two of its members have expressed the opinion that the best interests of the fraternity require that during the period of this emer­gency the committee should be so constituted that its entire membership can meet frequently in the same city,

RESOLVED, That the Finance Committee should be located in New York City during tl1e period of emergency and that, for the purpose of effecting a reorganization, the present com­mittee consisting of Ralph Noreen, L. C. Gould, and George D. Driver shall be discharged and replaced by a committee consisting of Ralph W. Noreen, Chairman, Robert E. Allen, and K. C. Lauter, in accordance with the provisions of Law X, Section 2, provided that the above mentioned persons shall ·accept appointment; and be it further

REsOLVED, That the thanks of the Fraternity be expressed to Brothers Gould apd Driver for their past services in con­nection with the work of the Finance Committee.

This a progressive step in the efficiency of the national organization and is in accord with accepted practice of many of the national fraternities. Its ad­vantages over the old system of conference by mail are obvious. It means a minimum of delay in reach­ing decisions, it permits fuller discussions. In addi­tion, the men are located in the financial center of the country with every facility for information at im­mediate hand. These items are indispensable in this time of unusual fluctuations of securities.

All three appointees have signified to Supreme Ar­chon Wagener their willingness to serve. All three hold responsible positions in prominent financial in­stitutions of New York and bring to the work of the committee many cumulative years of experience.

Ralph W. Noreen, Gamma, heads the Commitee as chairman. He serves the Irving Trust Company in the capacity of assistant secretary of the Loan Division. Mayhap early environment had some in­fluence in his choice of vocation, for he was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and spent fifteen of his youthful years in contact with the gold mines in the vicinity. His father was a mining engineer. He came to the States and obtained his undergraduate educa­tion in the University of California. It is not sur­prising that mining engineering was his forte in those days. After leaving the university he was associated successively with the Pinal Dome Refining Company and the Shell Oil Refining Company. After a few years experience as superintendent of service stations of the latter company he decided it was time to do some switching of horses. He went to New York to study commerce in New York University. Upon graduation in 1924, he became affiliated with the Irving Trust Company as assistant trust officer. In

12

1932 he was promoted to his present position· addition to his banking duties, Brother Noreen f instructor in Personal and Corporate Trusts at York University from 1926 to 1932. He is a ~ her of Alpha Kappa Psi, professional fraternity. J

Kurt C. Lauter is graduate of Cornell Unive B.A. degree and class of 1920. Most of his F graduate work has been with the Irving Trust d pany, which he reached via an assistant auditor's ~ tion with the Fulton County Trust Company, where he is now also an assistant secretary in the lJ Division. Brother Lauter's fraternal history has ~ an active one. He was one of the founders of Comas Club which became Psi Chapter. He served district archon of the first district for several rt' In 1925, he was instrumental in negotiating the f chase of the present home of Psi Chapter and st has been interested in its handling. He was recel elected president of the Realty Corporation, alul! holding company of the property. He has al~ been identified with the alumni chapter of New Y1

and has held positions of leadership therein. Robert E. Allen is a member (membership nufll'

1) of the original Delta Chapter and graduated fr Furman University in 1909. He holds the positiO~ vice-president of the Central Union Trust Corn!" After obtaining an M.A. degree from Furman, started his career teaching. From this profession. went to that of banking, holding positions succe~ w ly in the Norwood National Bank of Greenville, " and the National Bank of Commerce of BaltiJil~ ti The war brought a temporary break in his voc~t~ si but following his release he became associated ~r a the Central Union Trust Company. In 1921 he r made an assistant treasurer and in 1925 vicel te dent. His major activity is in connection witll Loan Division. Numerous clubs and societies ace- J his extra-banking hours, but despite the fact that c is giving up much of his active participation in ~ he has indicated a willingness to serve his fraterJI He has served before on the committee as chairfl1

From these brief biographies of the peri' nel of the Finance Committee it may be seen v the investment affairs of the fraternity are in , perienced and interested hands. Under the ne\\'. 1\ up the handling of investments during this c~t period is due to be efficacious and careful, an fraternity may count itself fortunate. "

The indebtedness of the fraternity to the past Jll' li hers of the Committee, George D. Driver, Nu,d' L. C. Gould, Alpha Kappa, has been expresse I the Supreme Council. They have worked faith ' and well in the face of the great handicap of do business by mail.

James W. Chambliss Succeeds 0. F. McGill

THE resignation of 0. Forrest McGill, Rho, as dis­trict archon of Florida left the way open for an­

other fraternal honor to be bestowed on James W. Chambliss, Alpha Epsilon. He was selected by ti:e Supreme Council to ~11 the pla~e l~ft vac~nt. It ~s a position in the natiOnal orgamzat10n wluch he 1s well qualified to assume.

Chapter treasurer for one year, archon for two, member of L' Apache and Theta-Serpent, are only a few of the achievements which he garnered in the course of his undergraduate career, which ended with the obtaining of an LL.B. degree. He was a charter member of the chapter and its delegate to the na­tional convention of 1925, held in Chicago. In the chapter he is considered one of the best and most efficient leaders ever produced in its history.

He has earned and retained an enviable place in the legal circles of Tampa.

Alpha Sigma's Mc­

Phersons Are Brother­

Leader Combination By T.V. Murphy

FOR the first time in the history of the Scarrabean, senior honor society of the University of Ten­

nessee, brothers have obtained this coveted honor in the same year. Kenneth and David McPherson, Alpha Sigma's brother-leaders, are wearing ·the badge that is symbolic of leadership and outstanding accomplish­ment in scholarship and activities.

Da'l'id Kenneth

The scholarship of both Kenneth and David has been high throughout their college careers, each hav­ing made an approximate average of eighty-five. Ken­neth will receive his B.S. in Agriculture in June of this year, while David will receive the same degree in June, 1934. Both attended David Lipscomb Col­lege near their home in Nashville, where they won many honors, prior to registering at the University.

Presidencies and editorships are Kenneth's hobbies. His activities as the president of the Glee Club have won for him the sobriquet of "the little man with the big voice." As president of the "Ag" Club he has just completed a successful term. Managing edi­torships of the Tennessee Farmel' and of The Barn­warmin' Special constitute his work in the publication field. The forthcoming Agriculture banquet has in him a capable manager. He is an outstanding member of the Tennessee chapter of Alpha Zeta, national agri­culture fraternity.

David, commonly known on the campus as "Free­wheeling," a nickname bespeaking his agility on the basketball court, bids fair to outshine Kenneth if he

continues to annex honors in the future. At pre he is an outstanding member of the "Ag" Club,~ was also accorded the honor of election to j\lp Zeta this spring. In the impending All Students 0 election Dave will run for treasurer and he baS excellent chance of election. ' T}

In the recent basketball campaign the sports w( h ers found in Dave one of the most colorful and c~ ~as sistent players to wear the orange and white. :N u, he has turned his attention to track where in e~ and

' 'f6 res season tryouts he seems destined to break the et nessee record in the high-jump. Already in preli.ll ~ere nary workouts he has tied the mark set in 1930, ~ t oe as he rounds into form the experts predict the toppll ;n; of another record. au,

~oth men are very loyal and active in all chaP th; affatrs.

On Saturday evening an informal banquet was held. It was well attended and all seemed to enjoy them­selves. The speakers were Brothers Berry and Meisel and Grant K. Palsgrove, Alpha Tau's chapter adviser. Brother Berry's speech carried a splendid message. He listed the three R's of the modern fraternity sys­tem:

1. Reticence. Modern fad is to lay bare thought; the fashion is to display. It is not spiritually healthy to spend ourselves on the chance passerby; better to reserve intimacy of thought for one's intimates, not only of fraternity matters but of general thoughts.

2. Reverence. The fraternity is the guardian of its own and the college's traditions. Things are not necessarily good or loyal because of age, but things found to be good and founded in the past should be reverenced as an aid to modern existence. "Be not .first to cast old aside nor yet last by whom the new is tried." Reverence for ourselves moves respect for our own honor and responsibility for our own conduct. Since fraternity men are more responsible for exam­ples, they are quickly censored if the examples are bad.

3. Repose. Clear thinking is rare today and greatly needed. This can only be done with adeguate leisure. It is necessary to withdraw within ourselves for re-

Unusual Editorial Honors BeFall Joseph Duncan

By A. Dale Swisher, Alpha Omicron

J OE DUNCAN, of Alpha Omicron Chapter, has been elected editor of the Iowa State Stttdent, of­

ficial tri-weekly newspaper of Iowa State College, for the school year beginning with the first issue of the spring quarter.

Duncan has just retired from the editorship of the Iowa Agricttlturist, one of the largest college agricul­tural publications in the world. The honor of stepping from that position to the editorship of the newspaper is a new one at Iowa State. No man in the history of the school has consecutively held two such im­portant positions.

Duncan is no novice in newspaper work. He has worked consistently on the St11dent since he entered Iowa State as a journalism freshman-a period of nine quarters. Four of these were spent as a reporter putting the little publicized veterinary medicine de­partment in the lime-light. The next two quarters were spent as an assistant issue editor and then for three quarters more he labored as one of the three issue editors. The mast during the first of these three terms revealed that Alpha Omicron held two of the three issue editorships. Edwin Dean, now owner and editor of the Seymour (Ia.) He,-ald, was the second.

Besides his St11dent work Duncan worked on the staff of the Iowa Agrimltttrist for six quarters. At the end of that time he was promoted to the edi­torship of the magazine.

The quality of his work is shown by the fact that at the national convention of the Agricultural College Magazines Associated held in Chicago last October he was publicly complimented upon the im­provement in make-up, editing and choice of material displayed in the Agrimltmist.

In addition to his work on the campus Joe has had considerable experience in weekly newspaper work. He has spent two years on the editorial staff of his home town newspaper, the LineviJJe (Ia.) Trib11ne. Two more summers were spent as an assistant in the mechanical department, one summer as mechanical foreman, and then in the absence of the editor he assumed the duties of that position for three months.

Within the chapter Joe has been regarded as final authority for all freshman English themes. To that dubious distinction was linked the editorship of the A/micron for two years and senior representative to the Alpha Omicron Building Corporation. He is also vice-president of the Iowa State chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalistic frater­nity.

Dr. John Donaldson, Xi Economist, Educator, Author

After a perusal of John Donaldson's personal record in Who's Who, one cannot but wonder how anyone can do so much in forty years, twenty of which is really applicable. At the same time, the ordinary individual stands dismayed in the front of an array of accomplishments which bespeaks of highly energized personal driving power.

He has a wealth of degrees and his work has proven his right to them. In theory and practice he is a political economist. His theory has been given to students in various educational institutions since 1914. Both theory and practice have been available to the government and influential organiza· tions of the country and the world. He is an author who en­joys world·wide prestige.

John is professor of political economy in the George Wash­ington University, has been since 1929. Prior to that, 1922-29, he was professor of commerce. He is also a member of the president's council of the university. Other institutions which have had his services are, successively, Smith College, Mount Morris College, Roanoke College, and American Uni­versity.

Among his professional connections with governmental bodies and allied organizations the following are but a few: economist, U. S. War Trade Board, U. S. Shipping Board, U. S. Department of State; technical adviser, American Dele­gation, Conference on Limitation of Armament; editor, For­eign Countries, The Commerce Yearbook of 192;. He is the American member of the International Committee on Research in International Relations, of the Institute of International In· tellectual Cooperation of the League of Nations .

As an author, his outstanding work to date is "A Treatise on World Economy and World Politics." It has been widely reviewed in the United States, England, Germany, France, Italy, Japan; a two·volume edition was published in Spain in 1930; it is now being translated into Turkish. The pub­lisher's adopted list included: London School of Economics and Political Science, Yale, Michigan, and California. Sev­enty-five copies were distributed by the U. S. Department of State among the embassies and consulates in 1931. He has been a prolific contributor to the Encyclopedia of Social Sci­ences and various European and American journals in the field of political science, economics, and international relations.

He was the guest speaker of the National Broadcasting Company on April 20, and spoke authoritatively and eloquently on "The World Gold Problem." Social Science for April carries his "The United States and Economic Pan-America," an address delivered before the Institute of International Rela­tions in October, 1932.

Alpha Nu Performs Ceremony for Cleveland Alumni

By E. 0. MaHocks, Psi

THROUGH the courtesy of our new district archon, H. 0. Merle, and one of our loyal Alpha Nu alum­

ni, Gene Baker, we were able to stage at the Uni­versity Club in Cleveland on Saturday, March 4 a most memorable evening. It was at this time that Brother Merle outlined to us his plan of activity for District Nine.

The initiation team from Alpha Nu at Columbus, Ohio, which was transported to Cleveland by the aforementioned brothers, together with thi.rteen mem­bers of the Cleveland Alumni Chapter sat down to a banquet presided over by Archon J. H. Haas.

The banquet was followed by several short talks by Archon Haas, District Archon Merle, Robert Crossley, archon of Alpha Nu, and Gene Baker. After these talks, the entire party adjourned to other quarters, where the initiation ceremony was put on by the Alpha Nu team in a most creditable manner.

Many of us in Cleveland had not seen the initia­tion ceremony administered since it was revamped by Dr. J. Friend Day. It was of course an inspiration to all of us in itself as well as giving an occasion to the establishing of what we trust may be a mutually profitable acquaintance and connection with Alpha Nu . .

After the meeting, several of us were privileged to get better acquainted with our neighboring brothers, who stayed all night at our various homes. The next morning the District Archon and Baker and the initia­tion team returned to Columbus with the assurance of our hearty cooperation and support for the betterment of Pi Kappa Phi.

flections on our own conduct and problems. One must learn to be quiet in thought and manner.

Professor Palsgrove gave a message of pleasant greeting to the delegates. Supreme Chancellor Meisel's talk touched, in the main, the following thoughts: Fraternities are going through lli very serious time, quite similar to the times of the civil war period. Competition is keen and chapters cannot get along on reputation alone. The young fraternities have all the advantages of youth and their actions must speak for them. They must also make every effort to re­duce expenses. Good common sense must be employed in picking leaders.

sistent to place a burden on the chapters to hold the convention, which is not necessary. Indirectly, through lower fees and elimination of assessments, the money saved has been returned to the chapter and the individual, where it is most needed.

The convention in 1934 will be the happier for the delay. There is visible evidence presented each succeeding day that our economic condition is better­ing itself. Bugaboos of this year will have become faint backgrounds. The faltering stride will have again found itself pounding the middle of the road and moving steadily forward.

It is a real misfortune for those lads in New York. You never saw a more enthusiastic or anticipa­tory group of men in your life as they were in facing the prospect of welcoming the Pi Kapp visitors from over the country. They had been working for a year when the decision was made known to ·them. In that year they had exhausted every possible source of novel entertainment in order to present to you the best that there is to be had. The resulting program was one calculated to be appealing in every item. We ha.ve seen it ar.d we know .

They took the dose like the real soldiers they are, and they are pointing to 1934 with the same eager­ness for your coming. If the main enjoyment may be said to be found in the anticipation- what a great time they are having! It has been our experience that the anticipation does not approach within a distance of a mile or more the pleasure of the actual event, so that it is to be added to the cumulative pleasure the New York Pi Kapps are getting and going to get. They have worked hard, will work hard, and the result is going to be the best gathering under the name of the fraternity.

It will be a pleasure at that time to welcome to active participation in the national business and so­cial affairs that fine group of men who call the Quaker City their fraternity home. Until the conven­tion happens to take place in Philadelphia, the Drexel men will find the New York convention the out­standing one from a standpoint of their participation therein. It will be their first introduction to the most effectively tangible realization of the national charac­ter of the fraternity, it will occur in their backyard (so to speak and with an eye cocked N'Y ork' ards) , and it should be an attractive opportunity for the men to have a real reunion. Alpha Upsilon will be a fine addition to the undergraduate chapters of the fraternity, and as chapters perform and accomplish, it is our pre­diction that it will take its place among the leaders.

19

It is going to be another chapter which will tell the public by its actions that any weaknesses of the fraternity system are far overshadowed by the accom­plishments, as H. T. Brock expresses in his article, "Reappraising the College Fraternities." The fact that he used the word "reappraising" is indicative of the attitude of the press in the past; it speaks volumes. Maybe it is a promise that the worm is turning. It is certainly high time. Possibly the fact that the Na­tional Interfraternity Conference has organized an effectively functioning and militant publicity bureau is helping the worm to show another side. The fra­ternities have no objection to the truth but they do not desire sensationalism based on half-truths. Neither do they desire facts, infinitesimal in their relation to the whole, to become the basis of generalities.

If fraternities were not a potent force in character formation, in assisting educational processes, is it to be thought that such outstanding educators as are men­tioned in this issue would be actively interested in the organization? The fraternity cherishes these lead­ers of thought. To speak of Dr. Irving W. Fay as the oldest Pi Kapp is to have a concomitant question of who is the youngest. Are there any applicants of un­usual youth ?

We are more than willing to recognize in our small way those alumni who are doing things in this troubled world to bring about a better understanding of its forces and attempting to improve conditions. We are proud of their work and wish to join others in expressing a deep sense of indebtedness. They are doing interesting things, practical things.

The battle for progress is an unremitting one, but it is a joyous task to carry the fraternity forward when you have such stalwart men beside you to help and encourage, as the fraternity has produced for us

in this year and former years. These last few Y1'

have demanded more of each member but it has 1)11

forthcoming without hesitation. Especial gratitude due those officers of the fraternity in the field, t district archons and the chapter advisers. They hl been Gibraltars of morale and dynamos of inteli and activity. It has been an inspiration to us to W~ with them. Organized and unorganized alumni hi rallied in faithful numbers.

We welcome the new men appointed to special sponsibilities and who are well qualified to carry tht! We are grateful for their willingness .to help 11

for the promptness with which they have tackled til tasks. Just as we are grateful to those who did 1

work before them and who were forced by cir~ stances beyond their control to retire from ac~ service.

This issue is a saga of accomplishment. The aio!ll are doing things, the undergraduates continue to eli on and gather unto themselves distinctive honors scholarship and activities, the national organizati0~ alert and active: The fraternity moves forward, }. like the feathered songster which offers to the sertl sun and the promise of another day his tuneful tribil' we unburden our heart of its load of gratitude $!

Omega's Adviser

Charles L. Porter

WHEN Professor George W. Munro (Uncle Mun) expressed the wish to retire to the sidelines, it

was natural that his duties as chapter adviser of Omega should fall to the lot of Dr. Charles L. Porter, for he has closely seconded the efforts and interest of Brother Munro in behalf of the chapter. While regretting deeply the decision of "Uncle Mun," the chapter has welcomed heartily B_rother Porter.

Dr. Porter is doubly interested in the chapter be­cause the second generation of his family, in the person of his son John, is an active member of the group.

He is a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan and received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois, in which institution he taught for many years. He is a well-known botanist and in Purdue University is pro­fessor of Plant Pathology and Physiology. His work in fungi and leaf spots of corn has received recogni­tion. In 1922-23 he was the botanist of the Illinois State Natural History Survey. Various societies and organizations in which he holds memberships are: Botanical Society, Illinois Academy, Indiana Academy, Sigma Xi, and Masons .

Chapter. After obtaining his Master's from Emory, he went to the University of Mississippi to instruct. Following ·the repeal of anti-fraternity laws in the state, he organized a local group to petition the fra­ternity, which was later established as Alpha Lambda Chapter.

He obtained his Ph.C. degree from the University of Mississippi in 1928 and his M.D. degree from Emory in 1932. He is married and has a son six years of age. Memberships in Chi Beta Phi, national scientific fraternity, and in the Oxford, Miss., Rotary Club are held by him.

Reappraising the College Fraternity (Contin11ed from page 8)

graduate body in Greek-letter societies. A line-up of fraternity men against non-fraternity men in campus politics is in this college obviously absurd. Activity in college politics exists, but is regarded as healthy, and the fraternities are credited with raising the level of scholarship and of serious college endeavor generally.

The other small college, also in New England, con­stitutes a "small homogeneous community." Here, too, fraternities are very active in college politics; but the undergraduate is apt to be rpore college conscious than fraternity conscious. Everybody knows what everybody else is up to. Combinations check combi­nations and produce a tolerable balance of power- a factor in that balance being the organization of non­fraternity men, which is frequently ably and energeti­cally led. Here again the verdict is healthy politics.

It is the nature of "clubs," whether clubs of under­graduates or of the undergraduates' parents and guardians, to be organized groups of insiders able to

Typical of scores of letters received is that of Past Supreme Archon George D . Driver:

DEAR HowARD:

I have just received your letter regarding the Emergency Corps and am very much impressed with the plan and the very effective way in which you present it.

There are probably very few members of the fraternity but who are experiencing severe financial difficulties of their own at this time, but if we can make any contribution at all to the fraternity, even though it requires some sacrifice, I think we should do so in this emergency. I hasten to send enclosed a check as my first contribution and I hope that I can complete payments to become a patron at a much earlier date than would naturally come about under the plan.

It seems to me that the Emergency Corps idea, in addition to its possibilities for the immediate assistance which I am sure the fraternity needs, offers a means for building up the permanent endowment in later years which is something looked forward to for many years.

With best wishes for the success of the plan and with personal regards, I am Fraternally yours,

GEORGE D . DRIVER

Yes, there are many to whom the donation was a sacrifice. Yet they have expressed a warm pleasure in the opportunity to do their bit. There are many who are not in position to make the gift. Some have written in to explain, to wish us luck, to state that we may count on them at a later date. The situation of both types of members is fully appreciated, and we have a heartfelt wish that the silver lining may soon appear. Many that gave wrote that they wished it might be more.

District Archon William J. Berry had this in mind when he wrote the following:

D EAR HOWARD: The form of your appeal to the alumni of the fraternity,

the issuing of which was forecast at our meeting in New York last November, is very attractive and the request that it makes of our alumni is modest. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that there will be those in whom the spirit to give is not equalled by the ability to make even the small contribution asked. Accordingly I am not basing my own gift on any mathematical computations, but am sending you a cheque for five dollars with best wishes for the success of your under-taking. Fraternally yours,

WILLIAM ]. BERRY

In addition to the gift, many took the opportunity of expressing their affection for the fraternity. The following came from W . B. Shaw, only Pi Kapp among the 90,000 people of Nevada:

When basketball season rolled around, Beta placed three men on the first five­Pledge Copeland headed the team at guard, while Brothers Adams, N ettles, and Pledge Clark practically monopolized the forward positions. Brother Seagle and Pledges Clark and Wyman very capably repre­sented Beta in the ring. Pledge Clark was the state champion in the lightweight class. At present, Broth­er Pinson is hurling the javelin for Brother McMillian on the track team, and Pledge Copeland is vaulting and broad-jumping in the same sport. Pledge Clark is proving quite a sensation in the 440 and 880 runs, while Pledge Perrin is proving himself to be a nifty low hurdler. On the diamond, Adams captains the Blue Hose from his position at second base, and Nettles is another Beta contribution to the national pastime.

Brother Mills is the Director of both the college band and orchestra, being seconded in the latter or­ganization by Brothers Graham, Ratterree, and Pledge Clark.

In a military way Adams is lieutenant-colonel, com­manding the R.O.T.C. battalion; Pinson is battalion adjutant; Pledge Copeland commands a company.

Brother Covington is the retiring editor of The Bltte Stocking, the college newspaper, and the retiring business manager of the college yearbook. Brother McCaskill has just gone out of office as business man­ager of The Bl11e Stocking.

Among the honorary fraternities Beta is well­represented: Pinson is president of Blue Key as well as being a member of Sigma Upsilon, Gamma Sigma, and Sigma Kappa Alpha. Covington heads Gamma Sigma, and is a member .of both Blue Key and Sigma Upsilon. McCaskill is the president of the Honorary

27

Fraternity Council and of Sigma Upsilon. In addition he is a member of Gamma Sigma, Sigma Kappa Al­pha, and the International Relations Club ..

In the student government of Presbytenan College, Pledge D. W. Boggs is the newly elected secretary­treasurer of the student body, and Pledge R. N. Belk is a sophomore member of the Student Council.

We have had our usual social functions, of which the Mid-winter Formal, held February 10, was easily the most outstanding. An even more enjoyable time was had on April 14-15, when Beta's annual Spring Formal took place.

The chapter recently enjoyed a visit by G. C. Adams, Beta '32, who is at present attending Stetson University at De Land, Fla. M. W. Miller, of Win­chester, Ky., also visited us, bringing with him his charming bride.

The annual Purdue Athletic carnival was held Feb­ruary 24 and 28. Preliminaries of the events were held on Friday, February 24. Then the semi-finals and finals were run off on Tuesday, February 28. Every year the high spot of the carnival is the interfrat~rnity re­lays which are flashy and packed full of thnlls. ~wo years ago the Pi Kapp relay team won the champiOn­ship and last year it failed to win by a narrow margin. This year a team composed of Chuck I~saccs, Jack Strawbridge, Al Welty, and Wally Norrmgton sur­prised themselves and everyone else by going through the preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals undefeated.

On March 9 the Chi Omegas and Pi Kapps had an unusual dinner trade. Half of the Chi Os had dinner at the Pi Kappa Phi house and half the Pi Kapps had dinner at the Chi Omega house. Names were drawn, to decide who would go there and with whom.

At the Pi Kapp half, the party was a dinner dance, the dining room being arranged so that those who wished could dance between courses of the dinner. After the dinner the evening was spent mostly in dancing, but bridge tables were provided for those who would rather play cards.

The Chi Omega half was somewhat different. There was no dancing during the dinner, but everyone danced afterwards. No bridge tables were necessary for no one wanted to play cards. Of course, the din­ners at both houses were perfect. This was the first of a series of dinners that Omega Chapter has planned for the remainder of the present school year.

Alpha Kappa PHILIP DALZIEL, Historian

On Friday March 24, 1933, the chapter held an informal dance at the chapter house with Brother Ernie Jackman's orchestra furnishing the music. Mr. and Mrs. Jed Barnes Maebius acted as chaperons and among the guests were Prof. and Mrs. R. D. McKen­zie, Alpha Delta, who honored us with their presence during the earlier hours of the evening.

Alpha Kappa is anxiously awaiting a Spring For­mal, to be held during the early part of May.

Alpha Kappa had a team entered in the Interfra­ternity Basketball League but unfortunately, due to lack of practice, did not fare as well as expected.

Due to the "banking holiday," which started early in February, the chapter was faced with a financial crisis, but since all chapters on the campus had to contend with the same conditions, the merchants were quite lenient in extending credit. With the reopening of the banks we are again getting back to normal con­ditions, and should finish the year in fairly good condition.

The grades for the past semester were the highest in the chapter's history, the house average being above eighty per cent. Brother Klute topped the list with seventeen hours of A, while Brother Wells and Brother Smith were runners up with nine and ten hours of A, respectively, the balance being B. If the chapter maintains the same high standard during the second semester it should finish among the first five chapters on the campus.

Sometime in the near future we expect to initiate Emil Wm. Keck and Wm. Hugh Moffat.

J. B. Maebius was elected local president of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, national geology honorary.

Alpha Mu recently won the interfraternity contract bridge tournament cup. The victory was made possible by the splendid playing ofT. Glenwood Stoudt, John Leightty, E. Bradford and John Wolfenden.

Grant A. Colton is one of the most active men on the campus. His achievements are: Blue Key Society, chairman of Blazer Committee, first assistant baseball manager, member of Pi Lambda Sigma, honorary pre­legal fraternity, Interfraternity Council representative and is the nominee for secretary of the senior class.

Marvin Hepler, a freshman initiate, has proved to be a talented wrestler. In the 165 pound class, he be-

36

came the intramural champion and was also victorious in several interclass contests.

Ernest Miller, the Alpha Mu caterer is a rnembe' of the varsity debating team for the second straight year. He went on a debating trip recently and ¢5 highly successful in all of his contests. Miller is ~~ a member of Delta Sigma Rho, a national forenS'' fraternity.

Alpha Sigma has in school this quarter 24 actives and 23 pledges, with 23 men living in the house. Ini­tiation plans are being formulated, with hopes of in­ducting a majority of' the pledges.

David McPherson was tapped Scarrabean, senior honor society. A. K. McCalla was elected business manager of Tennessee Fa1·mer fbr next year. Rich­mond McKinney, chairman, and Kenneth McPherson are two of a committee of three in charge of the an­nual university sing, to be held in April.

We have two representatives on the track squad. Dave McPherson bids fair to break ·the university high jump record this season. Luke Smith has been showing good form in skimming over the hurdles. Nathan Lowe is confined to the infirmary with a knee injury suffered in spring football practice.

Elmo Rowland was elected to Phi Kappa Phi, also Alpha Zeta. He is business manager of the Tennessee Farmer.

John Primm, captain and regimental adjutant, was named manager of the annual military ball.

Alpha Sigma has continued to pl~ce men in high positions in all activities. The scholarship record held a top place, as we had the highest general fraternity average, although failing to win either pledge or ac­tive cup.

Bob Allen was recently named general manager of the Carnicus, Tennessee's annual combination carnival and circus. W. H. McClure is assistant, with other Pi Kapps as committee heads and workers.

Reappraising the College Fraternity (Continued from page 25)

include or exclude outsiders. In colleges like the two just mentioned most of the outsiders as regards one club are insiders of another club. Exclusiveness is mu­tual and hurts nobody's feelings. The situation is dif­ferent in other colleges where the number of persons not ~ncluded in fraternities at all is a very large pro­portwn of the student body and where the fraternities, though in a minority, combine to run undergraduate activities more or less regardless of the unorganized majority outside the fraternities.

Percentage in Fraternities

A university is a considerable city in an old State with lavish traditions of wealth reports that the line­up in college politics is, indeed, fraternity men against non-fraternity men. But the non~fraternity men are organized effectively and are more active in going after things than their opponents. The result is that fair run of mutual good feeling which is normal between two groups in more or less equally matched rivalry.

Conditions are peculiar in large institutions in great ~ities where ~e proportion of the undergraduate body m college residence-and therefore in a state of iso­lation as an undergraduate community definitely col­lege conscious--is very small, the rest of the under­graduates being "day scholars:· from many levels of economic life and representing a wide range of racial origins and social backgrounds.

Of an undergraduate body of 1800 at Columbia, roughly three-fourths are in effect "day scholars." They live with parents or relatives scattered about the greater city and the metropolitan commuting area. Only 15 per cent are in college residence in dormi­tories. About 6 per cent live in fraternity houses grouped about the university buildings.

Two-thirds of the total of 300 fraternity men live at home. The day scholars generally, when their day's work is done, go home and eliminate themselves from the situation. Probably not more than half of the stu­dent body ever attends college meetings or votes for candidates for undergraduate offices. But the two­thirds of fraternity men who do not live on or about the campus are mobilized by the one-third who do.

With organization, it is not difficult for this small minority to "run" things and to parcel out offices, sup­posing the fraternities can accommodate their own· rivalries and jealousies to the point of acting together. The fraternities at Columbia generally do run things - more or less.

Fraternity Training As specialists in college politics, fraternity men get

a certain preparation for life in a country where the political game is a career not quite like any other pro-

38

fessional career. If the result of this specialization is ~at the acade~i~ stand in~ of the fraternity men is 1

'

btt below par, It IS a questwn (even in the mind of the dean) whether everything is lost and nothing gained·

The ~arne of c.ollege politics is not always plared on the htg~est ethrcal.level. Competition for promistnS freshmen m the rushmg season is a cut-throat encoun: ter. But the fraternities at Columbia with their alull1°1

)

backing of graduate members and their intercollegiate set-up, have standards to maintain-even traditionS· They have ~ sense. of responsibility, even as proper~ owners, whtch mrght not be found in the campuS cliques which in the course of human nature would take the place of the fraternities if they were abolishe~· ,

Mo~eover, the interfraternity board, or Panhellen~c CounCil, of. all the fraternities represented at Colurnb1~ meets (by Its own choice) with the dean of the col· lege in the chair. By this means the officer who ]laS charge ~f college discipli~e is kept in pretty cios: touch with what goes on m Greek-letter circles. I1 stands by at the washing of the dirty linen of the ' Greeks- if any.

Finds Greek Groups Are 0. K.

Considering that they are, after all, college bOY5

pent up in a city and not allowed to make night hid~' ous after the immemorial privilege and usage of col· le~e boys in the days when all American colleges ]lad wide open spaces convenient, the dean thinks the be· havi?r of ~olumbia' s young clubmen is fairly good; He IS convmced that their clubhouses do not harbO evil livers and corrupters of academic virtue, but a regular line of decent young men. And he is quite cet· tain that nothing would be gained by carrying out Spectator's sentence of "Delenda Est."

This is to be added. The expense of maintainin8. a fraterni~ chapter house. in New York City is d15

:

proportionately great. Chtefly because of financial pres sure, there are now only twenty-five fraternity houseS at Columbia where a few years ago there were thir~ five: !he number of undergraduates who can aff~r. to JOin fraternities-like the number of adult ctU' zens who can afford to belong to clubs- has fallen o6·

The resulting tendency toward the reduction in tlt' number .of f:aternities favors the strongest and fitteS~ for survival m the long run. That is what is happeOd ing generally in the case of college clubs not provide with a national hook-up or Greek-letter label. Fore~· ample, one result of the putting into effect of 1<ft· L~w~ll's. house plan at Harvard was expected to be~~ eltmmatwn of the excess of social (and, some Sll' '

pol.itically exc.essively influential) clubs at Cambridg~ Thrs process IS actually taking place and lies para!l to the process noted in the case of another institut1°J where the completion of a dormitory system on a gra!lf scale tends to reduce fraternities from the statuS
