T HIS ISSUE is dedicated to the past ... and yet also to the fu ­ture that the past has made possible. Let it be known that the

Star and the Lamp shine more brightly because of the contributions of:

true and faithful brothers all. They saw the need, purpose, and place for the magazine, and each responded so generously in his own way to build a journal worthy of the bond of brotherhood it represented. That they succeeded is reflected in the Fraternity itself around us.

"'IJGu

HOnce Upon a Line" By THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

THIS ISSUE observes the Golden Anniversary of the magazine of the Fraternity. Actually, the 50th year does not arrive until October,

but the current plan of publication does not have an October issue (for many years the four months of publication have been February, May, August, and November). Since the August issue does not normally feature chapter news due to the Summer recess, thus a lighter burden of material, it was decided to have this special milestone issue developed for August.

True, 50 years is not a long time in the general scope of things, but it does represent the mature years of almost all the membership of the Fraternity. Further, it carries The Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Jottrnal and its successor, The Star and Lamp of Pi Kappa Phi1 into a special circle in the art of the Printed Word which is limited to very few publications.

In a sincere attempt to comprehend and appreciate fully the maga­zine through the years, each bound volume was removed from the ar­chives of the National Office and every page turned of the now golden trail through the years. This project, which was to last several evenings, ran into several weeks as browsing turned to reading and in turn to avid interest. A Fraternity's history unfolded. But even more, a brother­hood's membership developed-some being followed from pledgeship through college life, into business and, indeed, for some onward to the Chapter Eternal. Names make news, and many names, new when first introduced into the columns, went on to make history.

It is our desire in this issue to cover the highlights and points of gen­eral interest through the 50 years of publication. We have tried to keep the historical review "light" enough to offer pleasant reading, but please forgive us if nostalgia finds its place in our thoughts for, after all, that's what anniversaries are made for.

~~~CTOBER of 1909 the printing presses at Walker, busy :;:s, _Cogswell Company in Charleston, S. C., were long f rntng out a certain magazine destined to survive \Vere a t:r ~ost other printed matter of the day, for they kappd~h~tng Vol~me One, Number One, of The Pi

The printer must have been very cooperative for most of the material he received was not typewritten as its Editor now contends he did not have a typewriter nor did he claim to have had any experience in developing a magazine such as was being printed.

Perhaps the printing company (which had once been

the official printer for the Confederacy) sensed the ex­citement and pride of the Editor in the undertaking for to work hard and create material is one thing, but to see it in print is something else-something special-re­served for those who have experienced sud1 an occasion. Imagine the anxiety of waiting for the original issue to be stapled and then finally passed on to its originator to thumb through with confidence and pride. Justified pride we might add! Though the first issue may appear to be small by today's standards, it was significant in many ways. For while he claimed to be a novice, Editor Henry P. Wagener pioneered with good taste and well-applied wisdom. The original issue carried an editorial that was

. considered worthy of reprinting by many of the other fraternity magazines and was even atrried in Bantds Greek Exchange-not bad for the first attempt.

Less than 100 copies came off the press in 1909, but their content and historical significance has been judged worthy of being reprinted in this issue (See page 18) by a photographic process, and will be over 160 times the original press run.

The Name Is Selected

The Convention in July of 1909, at the Isle of Palms near Charleston, brought about the founding of the magazine. 11here were then not quite 70 members scat­tered about the entire nation (one source indicates 59 members) . At this Convention Brother Henry P. Wagener, a freshman medical student, proposed that the official magazine of the Fraternity (that was being pro­posed and discussed on the floor) should be called The Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Journal. This was accepted and Brother Wagener was elected Editor of the proposed publication.

From the offset it was desired to carry news of the Greek world in general along with the chapter reports to the Fraternity. As was its purpose, the magazine re­mained for many years the only contact between the chapters themselves and also between the general mem­bership and still is the· one constant source of general contact among the brotherhood.

The Journal-1909-1911

Let us pause a minute to review more closely th' news carried by The Pi Kappa Phi Fratemity Jo111'11~1

During the first two years it seems that each chapt~ news letter carried glowing reports of successful "ban quets." A good banquet must have been the differenct between a good chapter and a poor clupter. One all' gets the impression that the early chapter letters we~ better composed and written in a more sincere man~et than those of the present day. But even then a famih' phrase or two occurs such as "the cream of the campus, "the best year ever," and similar thoughts which eve! today are considered by dupter historians to be ne\\'11

originated by them and not used before. The J om·nal set out to create and develop a mo~

continuing interest in the young national Fraternity. 'fil' first issue announced a contest for a Fraternity song an• later issues also included requests for a "new frat yell. "distinctively and exclusively representative of and f culiar to Pi Kappa Phi."

One of the earlier pages also reported that "Frate! Thomas F. Mosimann had announced his engagemen1

and the observation is made that he is "probably ~ first Pi Kappa Phi to become a 'Benedict.' " Ah yes, Kappa Phi was a young fraternity composed of youn! men. A comparison used elsewhere was "modest as

it is recorded that the chapter banquets rolled on. 1l1e first cuts appeared in 1912. The January, 1913, and May, 1913, issues were put out by a committee of four which included Founders L. Harry Mixson, Simon Fogarty, Jr. , and two others- John D. Carroll and W . H. Monckton, Jr. A subscription problem and monetary situation con­tinued to plague the publication.

October, 1913, saw a new Editor, John D. Hamer. Also Business Manager H . Lankirk must have been work­ing hard for there were several pages of ads. The pages of the magazine were open for discussion and debate on any general topic of interest to the Fraternity. Quotes of many sources were carried in an effort to Jill up the pages, and it was a spectacular effort too for there were some 70 pages in the first issue put out by Hamer and the following issue had 170 pages! One issue carried 8 pages of editorials. Fiction was introduced.

The March, 1914, issue carried a tremendous number of cuts for that era. Associate Editor R. E. Moody took pen in hand to encourage subscriptions:

For Alumni Only

A certain alumnus named Wood Said he'd subscribe for the "mag" if he could,

But he was paying some debts Which he'd made by some bets

And !.hat's why Wood would if he could.

Another Pi Kappa named Bagg Said he couldn't subscribe for the "mag;"

But he paid seven dollars For two shirts and two collars,

And then bet at the race on a nag.

A tightwad alumnus named Camp Refused to subscribe for the "Lamp;"

But he cashed a bad check For a friend, and, by heck,

He lost five times the price of the "Lamp."

The Chapters continued eating, but the term was now "dinners" instead of "banquets." A discussion on the co-educational system of schooling is noted along with comments on women voting.

The greatest single crisis of the magazine developed in 1915 when it appeared as though it would not be possible to put out another issue due to the monetary situation. Wade S. Bolt, a founder of the local chapter which became Sigma Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, but who himself had not at that time been initiated into the Fra­ternity due to his location in Indiana, wrote Editor Hamer and offered to publish 300 copies of The Star and Lamp free of charge in an effort to rally the mem­bership for the Atlanta Convention of July of that year. Thus a "non-member" saved The Star and Lamp. Bolt was made the new Editor and also an official member

It is noted in a chapter Jetter 1916 where Gamma Chapter (California) decided oc way to raise extra money was to have a piggy bank an ~very time a lady called a member on the telephone h would have to pay a nickel.

The Editor answered the call the colors along with most of the National Council all' the brotherhood in general. Brother George Brunson ~ came Acting Editor and stated in his editorial that . apo logized for the delay in printing but due to his 1c experience and lack of a staff that wasn't marching 0

to war, he and Business Manager Byrd have made valiant effort to get out the issue and hoped it proVL' to be "acceptable." This was the last issue printed unt· the return of Editor Bolt from the war in March, 191'

members, house picture, and activities listed. District Presidents, the national organization, and other items were also reported, and it is probably the most complete report ever made of its nature.

The October, 1934, number featured the Silver An­niversary of the magazine and was treated in a style be­fitting such an occasion. The depression is upon the Fraternity, but many chapters announced the building of a brand-new house ... many destined to be lost.

The presses roll on, and when Howard Leake resigns the Executive Secretaryship in 193 7, the Fraternity again looks around and elects Richard Young to take over the editorship again, and he carried the magazine faithfully through the World War II period. Following the war the publication was returned to the National Office and put under the authority of the Executive Secretary who became Editor-in-Chief. The man to re-open a full National Office following the war was W. Bernard Jones, Jr. Brother Jones, in January, 1951, employed Miss Elizabeth H. W. Smith to serve as Managing Editor to provide that professional background and know-how which began to prove necessary in the competitive age of the spectacular that existed after the War and could not be offered by the office which was so busy re-open­ing the Fraternity's many doors across the country.

Jones was followed by Jim Wilson who became Execu­tive Secretary and Editor-in-Chief who in turn was fol­lowed by Greg Elam, the current Executive Secretary and Editor-in-Chief. The basic organization and layout of

the magazi_ne had lo~g been established, however, and they contnbuted their share of innovations or slight changes, but the foundation had been laid well by men such as Leake, Young, Bolt, Hamer, and Wagener.

That Money Problem

'J1he financial stability of the magazine was its first greate~t, _and most endurin~ .Rr<?blem. The first plan of subscnpt1on was based on mdiv1dual members' subscrib­ing yearly. Of course, the greater burden was carried by the undergraduates who had the intimate contact of the organization. The December, 1910, number carried the ~nnouncem~nt of a life subscription plan which was be­mg offered 1n an attempt to create a fund over and above the regular running expenses to be available in the case of an unusual demand. The price was $20.00, and it was stated that "four or five such subscriptions was felt enough to offer The Journal financial safety." L. Harry Mixson, always one to show interest in The Jot~mal and The Star and lAmp, was the first to subscribe thus. There was a never failing effort to get people to subscribe or t? become ~ life subscriber. In. 1916 the life subscrip­tiOn was ra1sed to $25.00, and m 1919 the subscription was reduced to $10.00, being a lifetime subscription and compulsory ~or each initia_te: It was not until this point that _the Ed1tor could anticipate a dependable financial backmg, and thus ended the necessity of each issue carry-

ing its plea for more subscriptions. The subscription problem did not actually end the

but h_as carried forth up to the present time as the d

Paging through the back issues is as watching P 'fo tures of history flashing through the years. Lest anY?~ llla feel that the days of yore were straight-laced and w1t lo" ?ut fun, let us recapture the feeling of an era as report• \Vr. m the March, 1920, issue by Editor Bolt when cover~f gra the Convention of December, 1919. While discussJe lllu the banquet, he listed the toasts of the evening as:

The "Welcome," bespeaking of the hospitality ~~ Sin cordial atmosphere of the city of Charlotte; "A Vol to from the West," voiced by a mid-West brother, assU du1 ing all that Nebraska Pi Kappa Phis expected to r'' thr, mote the good name of Pi Kappa Phi as well as man'r late a campaign for conservative extension; "Some fr \Vh ternity Impressions," a survey of the Interfraternity Clfl dur ference; ' 'The Long Green," voiced by the d1ancellof' we, the exch~quer; ':The Stm· and lAmp," by the Edit~ son encouragmg contmued cooperation; "The Test," ash~ ~os tribute to the dead Fraternity heroes of the World '\l/1

have been dimmed almost to extinction by the passage of those 53 years, the last 42 of which have been spent of necessity in an atmosphere rather remote from college and fraternity life.

"As I try to recall significant events, certain ~ncidents, insignificant except from a personal. standpomt, flash vividly through my mind. But happ.enmgs of '':JPOrtan.ce in the development of the Fratermty and of tts offiCial magazine continue to elude me. I s~em to h~ve a clear mental picture of The Pi Kappa Pht Fralermty J.oftmal, with its plain white cover on the front of whtch the letters 'TT'Kcp in gold appeared in the uppe.r left hand corner, arranged diagonally from left to rtght. And I recall rather vaguely visits to Walker, Eva~s and Cogs­well on Broad Street in Charleston, makmg arrange­ments for the printing of the magazine. But I have no recollection of the details of these arrangements or of my approach to ,the handling of my editorial duties. I am sure that I must have assembled the material for each issue in my home for there was no Central Office. And I presume that mud1 of the material must have been submitted to the printer in longhand for there was no secretary and I did not own a typewriter. I have no idea how much or how accurately the galleys were proof-

11

read. I suspect that I was a very inefficient Editor as I knew little or nothing about journalism as a profession. I think that we printed 100 copies of ead1 issue. Some were used for exchange with the pub lications of other fraternities.

"I note in the '1929 History and Directory' that I wrote some 24 years ago, 'When I look back on that first ven~ure, I am surprised at my temerity. We had, as I recall tt, less than 100 members and either four or five chapters, two of which were sub- rosa.' By actual count as listed in the 'Directory,' there were on ly 4 chapter~ and only 52 members, both active and alwnni at the ti.me ~hat I proposed the pub.li cation of an offici;! maga­z tn~ tn July, 1909. It reqtmed the optimism and au­daCity of youth to undertake such a venture with so l imit~d po~sibil iti es of financial support. But, in spite of dtfficulttes and obstacles, The Pi Kappa Phi Frater­mty Journal was launched and survived, to become later The Star and .La1!1p. I like to think that the early issues of thes~ publtcattOns, though not models of journalistic perfectiOn, were of some aid in stabilizing our National Fraternity and in promoting its growth through their in­tended missions of binding together the scattered local units and of presenting to the widely separated individu ­al members, to quote again from the 'History and Di­rectory,' 'records of men, personal details whid1 mean so much for friel,"!dship.'

"In my recent' rereading of the Silver Anniversary number of The Star and lAmp, my attention was drawn particu larly to two sentences, one written by the Editor, Howard Leake, and the other by me. Leake wrote 'In nearly every issue we find Wagener forced to apol~gize for ~elay.' And I wrote, 'Yet those early issues, small a nd unperfect though they were, were a source of g reat pride to the Editor and great was his joy when he could get the copies mailed off on sd1eduled time-whid1 he rarely if ever did.'

"In those early days, The Joumal and The Star and Lamp were, as I wrote in my 1925 letter, 'constantly on the verge of bankruptcy and were very often almost the same in a literary way.' Undoubtedly, it was discourage­ment over these problems, combined with the iocreas-

was published by Brother Bolt free of expense to the Fraternity.

Brother Bolt's remarks about his years as Editor follow:

"Today, tense with the pressures of cold war and na­tional differences, when the pushing of the wrong but­ton or the pulling of the wrong lever can create far-flung chaos, there is little that can be said by an Editor of the old school.

"My problems were material and financial, insofar as concerned the issuing of The Star and Lamp. Every issue in 1915 and 1916 and part of 1917 was printed two pages at a time on a job press, assembled in our dining room at home. There was money for little more than the paper stock. But, it was a labor of love.

"The chapter personnel responded with material and chapter letters much more readily, I believe, than would be the practice today. In fact, co-operation eventuated from almost every approach and request, whether from alumni, past officers, or undergraduates.

"It is an experience to be looked back upon with a sense of pride in and appreciation for the responses of my brothers of that period.

EDITOR RICHARD L. YOUNG

BROTHER Richard L. Young, Kappa '15, University of North Carolina, whose home is in Charlotte,

N. C., served twice as Editor- from 1920 until 1930 and from 1937 until 1947. His tenure of 20 years rep­resents nearly half of the 50 years of publication. His reminiscences follow:

"A casual street-corner chat, back in the Summer of 1920, had a profound effect on my life, which was broadened and enriched thereby.

"Brother Henry G. Harper, who back in our under­graduate days at Chapel Hill had pledged me to Pi Kappa Phi and thus introduced me to a brotherhood that made my college days pleasant, met me on a downtown street of our hometown of Charlotte, N. C., that Sum­mer day of 1920.

"He then was an officer of the national Fraternity, and as a member of the National Council (they called it the Supreme Council back in those days), he was familiar with the Fraternity's needs.

" 'Would you be interested in becoming Editor of The Star a11d Lamp?' he asked me. He explained that Brother Bolt was resigning.

"When I expressed interest, he said he would take it up with the members of the Council, and not many weeks later I received a letter from Brother Roy H effner, Eminent Supreme Archon (National President), offer­ing me the appointment as Editor of Tbe Star and Lamp.

"Thus began an experience that broadened my life and added enrichment through association with men of h igh ideals who, as leaders of the Fraternity, were willing to devote their time and talent to the upbuilding of an organization for young college men.

"I began my duties in the early Fall of that year, and n1y first issue came out in November, 1920. I recall with distinction the cover of that first magazine. A new de­stgn, with the letters in Greek of Pi Kappa Phi with

14 •

rays from the student's lamp, was printed in gold c white paper.

"My recollection is that first printing was of ~(){ copies, and the Editor then had the duty of maintainJil· the subscription list.

"A hand-operated addressing machine was purchastl and I have the distinct recollection of feeding the t!!

velopes into the machine while my wife turned th crank.

"As a young newspaperman I was determined to shOl my professional qualifications which I was yet to att•1~ through experience of the years ahead. But I did tac~1

the job with enthusiasm which helped to make up fc my lack of experience.

"At that time, Pi Kapfa Phi had 14 chapters (th story of the installation o Tau at North Carolina Stl appeared in that first issue of mine), and there was J

urging for growth and expansion. "As Editor of the magazine, I felt Tbe Star and LttJ/i

could be helpful in promoting the Fraternity's growth· lhe issues were attractive, and so I set out to get out th· best possible magazine to impress prospects. After the'· years, I hope that ambition was realized in some measure

"At any rate, the Fraternity has grown, and I h~'· pleasant memories of laboring late at nights, editln~ chapter letters, and pushing to meet a deadline with ~­printer. And I was always writing letters beseechtl1:­copy and oftentimes being disappointed because corrt~ pondents didn't come through or they were late in senu· ing their copy. That's the reason I am writing this coF a few days before the deadline.

"The November, 1920, magazine was the usual 6:-.· size, and that was followed for several years until th· format was changed for a larger page. The change tL the larger size was made on the theory that the biglt page would provide more space [or better play and dtS. play. At least the larger size afforded the opportunity f~· more attractive covers, some of which we printed til two colors.

Star and Lamp, that ever faithfu l, ever present, ever staunch channel of communication in one of life's lines of beautiful experiences, that of fellowship in the spirit of Pi Kappa Phi.

"To few men are given the high privilege and sus­tained joys given to me in the service of the Fraternity in the dual capacity I had from 1929 through 193 7. The powers tlut be were either strongly economy-minded, or they had superb faith, to place both vital positions of Executive Secretary and Editor of The Star and Lamp into my hands.

"But didn't 1 wrap up that opportunity in bright rib­bons! It was so natural and happy a combination.

"Executive Secretary is a good rounded title, par­ticularly when that Exemtive flag is flown . Main job was secretary, and a corresponding one at tl1at. The Central Office was the depository of all suggestions, gueries, com­plaints, and reguests of the bustling, buzzing under­graduate chapters and of thousands of alumni who nursed in a corner of their hearts a bit of the flame which was good for big warmth in their undergraduate days­that association which brought to them man's greatest

15

blessing- the sense of being wanted and belonging. "You cou ld dictate all day and employ a harem of

Kelly girls, but never succeed in getting over to each and every one the things of the pocketbook, the things of the organizational machine, the things of the spirit, all in one relationship, of a pattern, and cohesive. If you had a magazine to assist, then you had a better approach to the need.

''That the Central Office should house the Executive Secretary and the Editor of the magazine in this deposi­tory of personalities was certainly a point of greatest efficiency, for here came the grist for the grinding, and the proper channels for the distribution of the milling should be immediately at hand.

"It has been a wonderful vehicle of bonding-this Star and Lamp. The tie that binds the distant and the near. It is the magic carpet which can transport you in an instant over many years and many places; it is as a bright mirror which reflects the forgotten and the half­forgotten in vivid outline; it is a mould in which be­liefs, ambitions, endeavors are poured in order to pro­duce the touch of unity and common intent.

"Yes, that is the main purpose of the magazine and always will be, sort of a round robin letter which is cir­cu lated within the family. To inform, to stimulate, to record, to strengthen the bonds and make them a greater source of enjoyment.

"It just had to be newsy and juicy, put in form and content which had verve and variety, jammed with pic­h.lfes alive with the personalities it was dedicated to dis­play. And there have been some extraordinarily fine ones to pass through these pages.

"This could be even though depression came to cur­tail funds and to emphasize the savings to a shol'tened budget. Reduced co lors in the cover could be partially replaced with a well executed drawing or an attractive combination of lines and photos. Smaller type permitted of good wordage in fewer pages. One big engraving showing a number of separate pictures was much cheap­er than mounting each small picture on an individual block. Get the engraver to separate with lines and deco­rate by use of his engraving tool.

16

"It was found that engravings made with copper· zinc combination were cheaper than the regular half· tone copper. There were found cheaper grades of paper.

"But let's not cut down the contents along the dedi· cated lines if we can possibly prevent it. Such was the battle cry of the devoted magazine staff.

"The Star and Lamp was the bond of the spirit of the whole Fraternity-in whatever corner of the world it could be found in the heart of men. It is little wonder of the high place it held in our thoughts of preparation and production."

BROTHER W. BERNARD JONES, JR. Executive Secretary-Editor-in-Chief

AFTER World War II, Brother W. Bernard Jones, Jr., Alpha '37, College of Charleston, became Exe<:·

utive Secretary and Editor-in-Chief of The Star and LamP· As Editor-in-Chief of the magazine, he followed Brother Dick Young who retired for a second time after seeing the publication through the war. Brother Jones' comments regarding the magazine follow:

"As Ed·itor-in-Chief of The Star and Lamp for eight years, I came to the definite conclusion that our publi· cation dollar is as well spent as that of any fraternity publication in America. Miss Elizabeth Smith, our Man· aging Editor, is professionally competent. She is sound budget-wise.

"Through the years, the style of our publication ]las been influenced more greatly by the colorful and flarn· boyant writing of Past Editor Howard D. Leake and the solid and sound layout of Past Editor Dick Young than any other factors. These factors, plus the fact that we have maintained a different printer from most pub· lications, have contributed to our publicattion being distinctive.

"Insurance actuaries, with experience in projecting such matters, have said that our long-range Star and LamP program is questionable from a financial point of view. You will recall from your pledge training program that you paid $12.50 for a lifetime subscription to The Star

BROTHER JAMES M. WILSON Executive Secretary-Editor-in-Chief

BROTHER James M. Wilson, Sigma '39, University w of South Carolina, who now lives in Columbia, S. C., t~n~ Executive Secretary and Editor-in-Chief of The Star tn Lamp from 1955 to 1957. His comments on the

agazine follow:

period, and with her background in editing and publish­ing books, pamphlets, and magazines, she has been able to give Tbe Star and Lamp the 'professional toucl1.' Brother Jones has given us the general procedures and organization under which we still operate. Brother Noreen, through his experience and foresight, has given the magazine financial stability. Through his efforts The Star and Lamp Fund is now the envy of most fraternities. Taking into consideration the size of membership and the cost of publication, our Star and Lamp has very few equals.

"During my term as Editor, Miss Smith and I added 1he following features: 'Out of the Past'-just a little reminiscing-we do have a PAST!-news gleaned from old copies of The Star and Lamp. This innovation was well received, particularly by the alumni. Continuing this idea-a great deal of interest was created when we published pictures from Conventions of Yesteryear in the Convention issue of 1956. Another major change was the compiling of all chapter news into a general narrative. This period being one of unusual expansion, the issue was usually dedicated to the new chapter, the cover featuring the new campus and several pages giv­ing highlights of >the installation and activities of the new chapter."

THE FIRST ISSUE of The Pi Kappa Phi Fratet'nit}1

J out·nal appeared in October, 1909. With less than seventy members and three chapters (and possibly one more sub t'osa) in the Fraternity, the pub-lication was launched. To the

left is reproduced the cover which was of white linen-finished paper with the Greek letters printed in gold. (This cover was also used on all live following issues of The Joumal.) To the right is reproduced, in exact size and in its entirety by a photographic process, the inside pages of Volume I, Number 1.

The Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Journal was intended to be the official magazine of the Fraternity from the start; it was not an evo­lution from a chapter newspaper or a hybrid development of such nature. It was bold proof of the intentions of the Fraternity.

Read it with care as it is offered with pride. One editorial, on page 12, was reproduced in Banta's Greek Exchange and also quoted in many of the other fraternity magazines of the day. It has been used again at even later dates.

So turn now to the October, 1909, issue of The Pi Kappa Ph< Ffaternity Joumal . ... Fifty years ago.

CONVENTION NOTES The Third Annual Convention of the Pi Kappa

Phi Fraternity was held in Charleston, South Caro­lina, July 13, 14, 15, 1909. Charleston has been the scene of all three conventions, and the local men have endeavored to make each successive year of more interest, value, .and enjoyment than the pre­ceding. We feel confident that there can be no dis­puting when we claim for 1909 the honor of being the banner year. Future conventions may strive to equal but they will never surpass it in the spirit of general good fellowship and good times. There was only one cause for regret, and that was by · no means the fault of the Charleston entertainers. But of that we shall speak later.

Summer time being on, and their city not being especially comfortable in that glorious mosquitory period of the year, the Charleston men decided to give their inland brethren a real treat. Conse­quently the Hotel Seashore, Isle of Palms, was se­lected as headquarters and rendezvous. This ar­rangement was equally agreeable to local men, as it gave them a chance for a real holiday. Regular seashore pleasures and amusements were arranged for the guests, and every plan was made to give them the time of their lives. Nothing can surpass the Isle of Palms alone, and, with the Charleston men

4 THE PI KAPPA PHI

as entertainers, the treat in store was inexpressible. But here comes in the disappointment:

Letters and circulars were sent out and favorable replies poured in. The Convention grew and ex­panded until it amounted to a Pi Kappa Phi re­union; for everybody was coming. Alphas and their alumni beamed with joy at its mere mention. So things went on until the fatal clay. Train after train came in without its proper burden. Faces grew long and sad. There was weeping and gnashing of teeth. And when the dust cleared off the battlefield, and the Convention was in full swing, it proved to be merely a convention after all. The reunion had evaporated. Seriously, though, the Charleston men were only too glad to welcome their visiting broth­ers. VIe enjoyed their stay with us, and we only hope that they did likewise. Of course we \\'Ould have been delighted had more turned up; for the more the merrier. But there were sufficient here to give us an exalted idea of the greatness and goodness of Pi Kappa Phi men.

The three convention days saw work and play mixed in about the right proportions. Mornings were given over to business sessions, and a mul­titude of important affairs were discussed and gen­erally settled. New enterprises were set on foot, and everything went to show that the brothers were all actively interested in the general welfare of the Fraternity. Afternoons and evenings were occu­pied with entertainments, and many, varied and delightful they were.

Charleston men decided that the countrymen (everybody outside of Charleston is a countryman) needed first of all a well-salted wash. A glorious surf-party was then in order for Tuesday afternoon. \Ve hope they enjoyed their ducking. Tuesday eve­ning a hop at the big Isle of Palms pavilion was on the ticket. Everybody was delighted whether they

FRATERNITY JOURNAL 5

danced or not. Charleston's beauty and chivalry was out in full force, and merely to watch the pretty Charleston girls is heavenly enjoyment enough. \Ve have the sweetest girls in the world right here; haven't we, boys? Subsequent to the dance there were manoeuvres on the beach. Country brothers, which did you enjoy most; the dance or the following adventures? From all we can hear, the latter must have been superb. How about it?

W~ednesday afternoon we showed our inland guests some water, and then some, when we took them around 01arleston's "magnificent harbor." Seasick sailors spent their best endea\'ors to control their assailant, and succeeded wonderfully well, con­sidering. Never were two jollier hours spent upon the "rippling waters" of Charleston Bay. Like babies we cried for more when at last our sails were furled, or rather the motor ceased its chugging. Wednesday evening Frater Mixson tendered, at his home, to his weary and seasick brethren, a re­ception which a necessitated early return to the island cut short.

Thursday afternoon the men took a farewell dip in the sea, and prepared themselves for the evening; for that was. as it always is, the crowning event of the Convention. Our Convention banquet was held at the Commercial Club, in Charleston. Finer feasting there never was. The spirit of peace and order, tinged with friendship, and good-fellowship, prevailed. After the eating came the speaking. Inspired by their meat and drink, the words flowed forth in eloquent oratory. After the formal toasts everybody had his little say. And then E. S. A. Kroeg dismissed the company by leading in the tuneful singing of "Auld Lang Syne." When the Convention adjourned with much handshaking and good-wishing, to the question: "When shall we meet

6 THE PI KAPPA PHI

again?" was returned the general heartfelt cry: "Let it be soon."

Ask Frater Miller how he likes Isle of Palms bathing suits.

At the Convention we had representatives of three great universities: Columbia, N .. Y., Johns Hopkins, Baltimore and California. The time was enlivened by hot discussions as to the relative merits of these institutions. Fisticuff settlements were prevented only by the earnest efforts of unifiterested parties. Frater Kelly, supporting the University of California, generally managed to hold the centre of the mat by the aid of his famous "military feature."

Wonder if Fratres Kelly and Reid have recovered from their seasickness yet?

Why are Isle of Palms partitions so thin? Per­haps Frater Lowman can explain.

People at the Seashore Hotel were greatly excited when they found that one of our party had regis­tered from Egypt. Why were the young ladies so disappointed when the Egyptian turned out to be E . S. A. Tom Mosimann, from Egypt, Georgia?

Ask anybody at the Convention whether ex-E. S. A. Kroeg isn't a brave man.

FRATERNITY JOURNAL 7

A man of interest at the Convention was K. E. Lowman, of Orangeburg, S. C., all-round athlete of Alpha Chapter. He made College of Charleston 'varsity in base ball, foot ball, basket ball, tennis and track. He is base ball captain for next year, and will in all probability head the tennis corps also. Pi Kappa Phi makes men of her fratres.

By the way, Pi Kappa Phi seems to take all-round leadership in tennis. Her men composed the whole College of Charleston team. At the South Carolina Inter-Collegiate meet she had four representatives, and kind of ran things up there. Pi Kappa Phi men hold the presidency and vice--presidency of the South Carolina Association for next year.

Pi Kappa Phi chapters, send m your athletic records to the editor!

It was suggested at the Convention that Pi Kappa Phi get a brand new fraternity song. In order to se­cure the best possible, a contest was proposed. All Pi Kappa Phi men are eligible. Write a song which has beauty and meaning; one that is really adapted for a frat. song. Set it to old music or com­pose a new tune. Send it in to the E. S. A. before December 1, 1909· Supreme Council will judge upon all songs submitted, and the writer of the one selected as fraternity song will be presented with a jewelled Pi Kappa Phi pin. The Council reserves the right to retain for its own uses any or all songs if it should so desire. Get busy and write a frat . song. The more the better.

CHAPTER LETTERS

S.C. ALPHA.

As South Carolina Alpha marked the birthplace and prime movers of the Pi Kappa Phi Fratemity, so sht> is expected to assist, if not to lead, in all new ventures. And she is always proud to do so. Accordingly she is glad to take her place and to extend the hand of fraternal welcome to all true Pi Kappa Phi's who read these pages.

Alpha is si,'uated in a small college, with ninety as the highest. year's enrollment, and with seventy as an average, to which we are much afraid that we will return during the coming season. Besides the Pi Kappa Phi, there are two national fra­ternity chapters (both .of which are old and pow­erful) and one strong local. With so few eligible new men, each year there is a tremendous struggle for initiates. This year we are preparing to make a good fight and to come out with a nice new enroll­ment if possible. We shall let you know the results in our next.

At any rate we stole a march on the others at the close of last year, for we took in two desirable men at our last meeting as a sauce for our annual ban­quet, which was held on the same night. The initia­tion was great, being conducted by· our "old team;" and the banquet was greater still, being a big joyous reunion. Nearly all of Alpha's alumni were with us; our star guests being T. B. Kelly, of Berkeley, Cal.; James Fogarty, of Columbia Uni,·ersity, ~ew York, and A. P Wagener, of Johns Hopkins, Balti­more.

If all of next year is to be as successful as that meeting we have a glorious outlook before us.

Fraternally, SouTH CAROLINA ALPHA.

S. C. BETA.

South Carolina Beta Chapter sends her greetings to the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Journal. She is delighted at her opportunity to be one of the first to utilize this new fraternal organ to extend broth­erly greetings to her sister chapters and to each and every individual Pi Kappa Phi.

Beta is more than fortunate in the number and enthusiasm of her sisters. At the end of each col­lege year it has been customary for the chapter to give a banquet. Last year, through the skill of her fratres and the efficient aid of her sisters, Beta sur­passed herself and her previous efforts by the most excellent banquet of her existence.

Frater L. Harry Mixson, of the Supreme Chapter, acted as toast-master, and filled the place as well· as it could be filled.

It seemed like a reunion, for we had with us Fratres Owet)s, Simpson and Bailey; and, if cir­cumstances had · not prevented, Frater Miller would have been with us. Then all the charter members of Beta would have been brought together in frater­nal union with the new men, and with one of the instituting officers.

As to the banquet, we wish t'hat all the other chapter fratres could have been present. We received our guests in the large administration building. After all had assempled we proceeded to the dining hall, which was decorated with ivy and ferns. Pi Kappa Phi colors and pennants in profusion adorned the walls. Then came the most interest­ing part, the eating. After being served with six courses our attention turned to the toasts, which were given by members of the faculty and some of the Pi Kappa Alpha men, invited guests from a sis­ter fraternity.

I cannot describe the banquet; I only wist that all Pi Kappa Phi fratres and sisters could have at-tended. Fraternally,

CAL. GAMMA.

Out of the land of the golden West come tidings from California Gamma, our chapter at the Univer­sity of California. This is one of the largest institu­tions of its kind in America; and Pi Kappa Ph;, although only quite recently implanted there, prom­ises to become one of its strongest and most in­fluential fraternities. \Ve have there a most ener­getic and enthusiastic worker in the shape of T. B. Kelly, an old South Carolina Alpha (who, by the way, was the prime mover in the institution of Cal. Gamma), and he declares that the others are as interested and earnest as he. We are expecting great things from them in every college and frater­nity line.

Out in that country the people work, while we ~azy Easterners sleep ; and consequently they are always getting ahead of us. Here we are just starting our college sessions, while they have been going since August IS· Accordingly they have some active work to t~ll us about. Frater Clarence Fraser, of Dinuba, Cal., writes as fotlows:

"Up to this time two new members have been taken into the chapter: William L'lwrence, of Santa Rosa, Cal., and Frank Stack, of Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. Both frat res enter with the class of 19 r 3·

"An informal dance was held at the chapter house on Friday, September Jd. in honor of the new members. Only the fratres and their ladies

were present, but all report a very enjoyable time. The annual Inter-Fraternity base ball series is

being played now at California. In the game with the Psi Upsilon Fraternity the local chapter of the Pi Kappi Phi won by the score of 7 to 4· Fratres Pronty,'I I, and Long, '09, composed the battery.

EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT In compliance with the action taken at the last

Convention, the Eminent Supreme Historian takes pleasure in presenting herewith to the officers and members of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity the first number of the official Journal. For pecuniary and other reasons it has not been possible to make the issue as full as might otherwise ·have been desirable. It has been deemed advisable to make the publica­tion quarterly, and to have it appear on the first days of October, January. April and July. The staff is always handicapped in tile first issue by the difficulty of obtaining matter on time. \Ve are compelled to put this number in press without wait­ing for some very desirable stuff. Still we have been unavoidably delayed; but hope now to have the issue in the hands of subscribers by October I sth. By that time all our chapters will be at work again. We wish to extend a hearty greeting to all old and new Pi Kappa Phi's.

A fraternity magazine is something apart from all other publications. It contains neither fiction, nor science, nor religion. It is intended primarily neither to amuse, to educate, nor to edify. It is intended first and foremost to be a bond of friend· ship. With chapters scattered from ocean to ocean,

FRATERNITY JOURNAL

with individuals dotting the whole country, with the two extremities seldom, if ever, coming into con­tact and relationship, what is there to bind together the members of a big fraternity? Of course, there is the sense that we all profess the same vows and are under the guidance of the same principles; but this is something intangible, and not apt to be al­ways powerful a.nd binding. What interest can I feel in a man of whom I know only the name? With some more intimate knowledge of his char­acter and doings, I have some foundation for friend­ship. To furnish such foundation must be the ob­ject of a fraternity journal. In chapters as a whole, in their continuance and success, an unconnected frat. man may be interested. But for their individ­ual members he can care nothing without a more intimate personal acquaintance. How can he es­tablish this friendship with a man thousands of miles away? Primarily through the agency of his journal. Our Journal is to be the chain of acquaint­ance, not only from chapter to chapter, but from man to man. Naturally we want chapter records; but more than all we want records of men, personal details which mean so much for friendship. We wish this Journal to be the bond which shall bind together the hearts of all Pi Kappa Phi men, active college men and alumni ; from the greenest FTCsh­mari to the sagest Justice in our pack. Greater in­timacy, more true inter-chapter fraternity spirit is to be our goal.

In order to accomplish this object we must have the aid and cooperation of all our fratres. Our edi­torial staff is as yet small. We cannot here in Charles­ton know by intuition the doings of our men in San Francisco. We must have first-hand informa­tion. Anything of interest about anyone in the Fraternity that anybody knows should be sent in immediately to the editor. We cannot divine when

iuteresting things will happen. If anyone has an idea he thinks will be of service let him write us at once. Don't wait to be asked. We are not mind­readers. Any definite information that we need at definite times we shall not hesitate to ask for. Please do not hesitate to give it then and at any other time you feel inclined. The more matter we get the bigger, better and more capable of per­forming its object will the Journal be. Above all things don't be stingy and don"t be bashful.

We hope that this first number of the Pi Kappa Phi Journal, meagre as we feel it to be, will be of interest to some, and will bring some welcome thought to a few of our fratres . \Ve are going to strive to make every issue better than its predeces­sor. \Vith your aid we feel that we are going to succeed. Without your aid we are sure to fail. 'N e extend our hearty greeting to each and every Pi Kappa Phi, and earnestly ask for your fraternal hand-shake, and for your heart-felt cooperation and aid.

FRATERNITY.

There is no sentiment more powerful in the re­lationships between men and women than is love. There is no principle more active in the inter-rela­tions of men and women than is friendship, broth­erly love. Through all times men have striven for the closer binding, the firmer establishment of this uniting bond. Their struggle has resulted in the formation of fraternal orders. College fraternities, Masons, Knights of Pythias and all such bodies have this for their basic creed. Naturally, each has its special signification. Each stands for some defi­nite function in business, society, education, religion, or whatever its particular sphere. Some ograniza-

FRATERNITY JOURNAL IS

tions are distinctly representative of one. Some include several. And even within the same order we are apt to find subdivisions. Iniluenced by ex­ternal forces, this or that local band lays emphasis on some principle or purpose elsewhere unempha­sized. Thus there are countless bodies of men and women varying in extremes in composition, in prin­ciples, in ideas and in purposes; all of whom, how­ever, are brought together by their search for mutual friendship.

The principle which animates such organizations and which inspired their institution, the natural craving, actual need, indeed, for true friendship and brotherhood, including the recognition of the strength and mutual gain aquired by close and inti­mate association in the bonds of fellowship, may be styled the sense of Fraternity. All fraternal organ­izations have for their lowest and foremost founda­tion the desire for brotherhood, unselfish, undying friendship, interdependence and interreliance. The stronger this mutual love, the stronger is the order, the more capable of performing its function. With­out harmony, active, meaning harmony, local branches are powerless. As soon as the stpirit of brotherly Jove throughout the national organization dies out, all chances for external or internal success are at an end. With brotherhood, fraternities are invaluable. Without brotherhood, they are worse than useless.

Laying aside the immense value of associative orders in the purely physical struggle of life, there is no worldly organization which can better aid the spiritual side of man's nature than a fraternity if conducted to live up to its basic principle; f-or its power is due solely to this actire, living force, Fraternity. There is no principle more ennobling than true, unselfish friendship; no force stronger in the building of character than the love of fellow-

r6 THE PI KAPPA PHI

man. Holding brotherly friendship as the key­stone of their formation, and as their watchword, the main object of a fraternity should be character founding and fixing. Were all fraternities profess­ing as their sole object the training and culture of their members in the road to true manhood, to up­hold and practice their teaching, there could and would be no grander secular institution in the world.

Fraternity should be to .us an active, not a passive principle. It is, for those who correctly understand it, an inspiration toward all that is better in human life. Without association with other ·men, our characters remain unformed. Fraternal association moves toward proper formation. Brotherly love exterminates all · the petty feelings of man's nature and brings to view the larger, nobler traits which are in embryo in every man, and which merely need the proper stimulus to which they must sooner or later respond. Fraternity means mutual apprecia­tion, self-knowledge, mutual knowledge. Fraternity teaches a man first to learn and to appreciate his own strength and weakness, and then to recognize the strength of his fellow. In fraternal association these weave backwards and forwards in and out among each other until a working whole is consti­tuted powerful even in its weaknesses. For to each man through his weakness is lent his brother's strength. Oose association with a few brothers teaches a man to apprise the outside world, to influ­ence it by his strength, and through brotherly assist­ance to be influenced in his weak points. Frater­nity lends strength to each individual and strength to the whole. It teaches the men under its influence to be creators of circumstances, to be rulers of them­selves and hence to be rulers of the world. Let a man through fraternity be made capable of frater­nity and he need never fear character destruction.

FRATERNITY JOURNAL

Fraternity is a powerful and peculiar force. Real fraternity can never harm or impoverish, and often cheers and enriches. The capability for fraternity is a gift from the divine.

The main object of a fraternity, then, should be exercise of Fraternity. All other purposes should sink into insignificance beside this. Not that all other sides of life should be dropped; for often they may cooperate and aid. But every conflicting ele­ment should be done away. The members of a fraternity should learn through Fraternity to know themselveS~, to know their brother, to rule themselves, to become forceful men, powerful in this world's regard; to be noble men of character irreproach­able, powerful in the spirit of the world to come; to be, in short, men really great. W.ith this accom­plished, no fraternity need be ashamed of its work. May it be the goal and well-accomplished task of Pi Kappa Phi to lead through trials and despair to the clear light of a noble spirit, great now and great forever.

1914--In the issue of March, 1914, the Editors of the magazine took time to indulge in predictions. Ac­cording to them, "the year 1924 will find us a Frater­nity of 2,500 members with a chapter list of twenty­five." It was then an organization of 376 members and eight d1apters.

In March, 1924, the F,-aternity consisted of 2,476 membet"s and 26 cbapten

'"If the Fraternity should adopt this as a program, without qualification and keeping it ever in mind in the coming years, it would be taken out of the class of idle and unfounded optimism and become vision and fore­sight."

The organization then consisted of 38 chapters with 6,300 members.

TODAY- Well, Brother Editor of 1934, here is how the Fraternity has done in the last 25 years-compli­cated by two wars and then inflation. '}}here are 52 under­graduate chapters. The membership is now 18,250. The magazine endowment is $133,500. The term "general endowment" has been so turned around as not to be applicable at the present time. Ce!tain fund~ have been discharged to the Devereux D. Rtce Memonal Founda­tion and other designated applications. All chapters, where permitted, have houses-most of which are "ac­ceptably financed" and a number of new ones ~r~ a'build­ing. We have fallen far short of your predtctiOn of a chapter tutor for each chapter. We have also fallen s~ort of providing graduate and undergraduate scholarshtps. And, there is no organized extra-Fraternity charity pro­gram. The National Office still uses rented facilities.

As for the magazine, we, Hke the others in .the frater­nity world, have had to adjus_t to inflation. 'X!e put out four issues a year (as you dtd) of twenty-etght pages each and at no time in ~he future will we have the

Let us see what the future could offer.

1984--Dear Brother Editor of 1984--on this 5°; anniversary of the magazine we pause to set forth a f t predictions for you to page through and find on the 75 anniversary. Let us see what they might be:

More than this, there are two very prominent fac!0 I that need improvement in the next 25 years. The ~~ is the use of the energy and manpower of the untt Fraternity for some worthwhile project. If for ~ hours once a year, every chapter undertook to assist certain charity across the United States-the manpo"' of the Fraternity could perform a marvelous service a~1~ great detriment to themselves.

Dear Father:

[Chapel Hill, N. C.) Wednesday, Mard1 27 (1918) 2:00 P. M.

I have just received your letter and your d1eck ~or $40.00. Please receive my thanks. I was initiated tnto the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Monday night ~ter taking a 12 mile marm in the afternoon. It is t e greatest thing I ever did and will mean mum.

Through my work for the magazine Tar Heel I have just received a bid from Sigma Upsilon, the great national literary fraternity. See Hiden Ramsey ~n~ he'll tell you about it. The expense is small and ~ ts a big honor to belong to it, only about 15 mem-ers in school. ~rite later.

National Office Offers Three New Trophie~

WILL E. EDINGTON AWARD

THE 26TH SUPREME CHAPTER Meeting in Atlanta in August, 1958, heard the an nouncement of a new

award to be named in honor of Dr. Will E. Edington. The chapter maintaining the highest scholast ic average during a collegiate year in the national Fraternity will receive the award.

The presentation plaque has now been created and is a work of art worthy of further explanation. The award was made from a 21V2" diameter piece of solid myrtlewood and is carved in relief. Its size and crafts­manship are hard to realize even when viewing it. No more suitable salute could have been created to honor Pi Kappa Phi 's National Sd10larship Chairman who is now completing a third of a century in that position.

The first recipient of the award was Duke University's Mu Chapter.

Houser served 24 consecutive years on the Nat10° Council of the Fraternity and was National Presid~ from 1950 until 1956. Although the rules governing ' presentation will not be announced until the 1959 sel sian of Pi Kapp College, the intent of the award is 1

Announcing

Leadership School and Workshop

On the National Level

August 30th-September 2nd

LATE AUGUST will see a minimum of two repre-sentatives from each undergraduate chapter of

the Fraternity converge upon Sumter, S. C., for Pi Kapp College-a concentrated training school of offi­cers in the Fraternity. The Archon and Pledgemaster of each are expected to attend: the Archon because he heads up his chapter and the Pledgemaster since this places proper emphasis on that position which can mold and develop the members of the future brotherhood.

Travel expenses for one car from each chapter plus all expenses for two men from each chapter while at the college will be paid by the National Office. This is being done at no expense to the undergraduate chapters or members.

The program will include lectures and discussions in the following areas of chapter operations: Fra­ternity laws, finances, chapter administration, schol­arship, pledge training, rituals, rushing, and alumni relations. In addition, there will be daily inspirational and informative talks by National Officers and other prominent members of the Fraternity.

Retiring Executive Secretary Greg Elam is in charge of developing this, the initial program, and carrying it through. Executive Secretary-Elect Durward Owen and his fall visitation staff will take part in the col­lege, meet the membership, and assume the full re­sponsibilities of the National Office following the close of the 1959 session of the training school.

Two camps near Sumter have been taken over to handle the meeting.

Let's All Sing! THE FIRST ISSUE of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity

Jot~rnal announced the project of developing a Fra· ternity song. As the years passed by, the battle cry changed slightly to become a desire for a song book. In time, all these things were done, and more too.

Yes, the early members of the Fraternity realized the importance of singing, for singing is important. A sing· ing group is a good group. There are very few excep· tions to this rule. Singing does something nothing else can do to a group.

The significance of singing can best be shown by tell·

ing about the rushee who was being entertained one evening at a Pi Kappa Phi Chapter house. As the Chap­ter stopped singing and prepared to disperse, he waS heard to say, "Gee, please don't stop now. This is what I miss in the dormitory."

And if we are to sing, let it be songs using the naiJle of PI KAPPA PHI. Above is an all new song just out­It's not to dance to or serenade with but just for goo~ harmony whenever the occasion permits. The writer JS

Brother J. Dayton Smith, Beta Eta, who is now Chair· man of the Music Department, San Diego State College.

THE STREAM

THINK of the water that has gone over the dam since the first issue of the magazine two score and ten years ago! Yet it seems but yesterday.

Think of the change in the name and size of the magazine, and of those who success1vely have been responsible for its continuance.

Think of the number of chapters the years have brought.

Think of the wave after wave of freshmen who came, as diamonds in the rough, from hills and valleys and towns and cities and who, through the col­lege home provided by the Fraternity, the wholesome fellowship there en­joyed, and the friendly guidance always available, had all their roughness hewn away and their brilliance disclosed. And think how in an incredibly short time they passed through the portals of their alma mater equipped far better for the tasks ahead.

Follow them for just a few years after they left college and there will be seen many who were and are earnestly and capably serving their fellowmen as doctors, pastors, business executives, judges, governors, members of the Congress, and in other responsible positions, constantly lengthening the shadow of their service.

You will also find others to whom fate was not so kind, for in the hour of their Country's need they sacrificed careers and opportunities and left home and loved ones and volunteered their services and fought on sea and land and in the air in many parts of the world. And many died, leaving as their contribu­tion to posterity only a record of valiant deeds and of patriotic devotion to duty. Many who survived bear lasting scars of battle.

Who were they? Have their records been preserved? Shall tomorrow know what yesterday produced? Have there been suitable and lasting memorials provided?

The Fraternity's only established Memorial is the Devereux D. Rice Fund. Contributions to it may be made in tribute to the memory of any member. Its purpose is primarily to make loans to worthy chapters of Pi Kappa Phi. Its trustees serve without pay. Friends and relatives of those who have gone on may find in it a thoroughly satisfactory and acceptable manner in which to per­petuate the memory of those whose achievements have distinguished them, as well as those who through their love and devotion and service have helped to make the Fraternity what it is today.

The dam is still there, and the stream flows ceaselessly on.

Fraternally,

John D. Carroll, Chairman

(Make your checks payable to the Devereux D. Rice Memorial Foundation. Please indicate if the contribution is of a general nature or in the name of a remembered one. Send the check and any other information to: John D. Carroll, Lexington, S. C. Contributions are tax deductible. Ed.)

Beta Delta's float took first place in the fraternity division of the Drake Relays April 25. The Relays have been annual event! 1

Drake University for the past 50 years.

First in Drake Relays By BROTHER ROBERT M. MOODY, Archon

Beta Delta Chapter

(The D,-ake Relays had its fiftieth mmiversary this year. The Pi Kapp Chapter at Drake Unive,-sity did themselves prottd, and we therefore add their float to our anniversary observance.)

FOR THE SIXTH TIME in seven years, Beta Delta Chapter at Drake University took first place in the fra­

ternity division of the Drake Relays April 25, a compe­tition which is open to all college groups throughout the country.

Beta Delta's two-unit float, "A Golden Record for Drake Relays," was patterned after the RCA Victor trademark-"His Master's Voice."

A large bulldog sitting on a record album was listen­ing to college songs coming from an old fashioned record player.

Thirty-two feet long by 12 feet wide, the Pi Kapp float was powered by a jeep under the first unit.

A large golden record, 10 feet in diameter, revolved as sound came from the large horn characteristic of rec­ord players 50 years ago.

30

The float took us approximately three weeks to buil• towards the end there were a couple of all-night ~ol sessions, but with the coffee and sandwiches provad• by the Mothers' Club everyone enjoyed it. The seC0r.. unit of the float was built on a borrowed running [!/).

Beta Delta also received a plaque as last year's swetf stakes winner. ·r.

The three-mile pamde route was lined 10-deep "''j spectators. The crowd of 88,000 saw the largest parJ in Relays history.

Brother Elam Resigns As Executive Secretary THE RESIGNATION of Brother Greg Elam as Execu-

tive Secretary of the Fraternity has been accepted by the National Council. Brother Elam joined the National Office staff in 1956, shortly became Assistant Executive Secretary, a post which no longer exists, and in early 1957 assumed the duties of the Executive Secretary and of the National Office.

Brother Elam took over supervision of the National Office with the understanding that he would stay two years .to see the office through. a tra~sitional period and then tntended to return to pnvate mdustry. His inten­tions to resign were announced at the Supreme Chapter meeting in Atlanta in 1958.

A number of new awards were created, the manual of pledge instruction revised, and internal revision ef­fected in the Fraternity during his period of office. Brother Elam is to remain Executive Secretary until September 1, thus following through on PI KAPP COL­LEGE, the national workshop which he was instrumental in developing. This anniversary issue of The Star and Lamp is his last issue on the staff as Editor-in-Chief.

ABOUT THIS ISSUE

~~ClJ

THIS NUMBER of The Star and Lamp is a spe-cial one and has been published on a special

~udget. The normal budget item for the publica­bon of the magazine could not be expected to carry the expenses of this issue. The additional backing needed came from a special fund. Several Years ago it was announced that the magazine was to go off the lifetime subscription basis due to cost problems, etc. This action came from the 1956 Supreme Chapter meeting. A subscription drive

ST, 1959

was announced and a good response received. This money was funded but not used. The 1958 Su­preme Chapter meeting returned the magazine to a lifetime subscription basis. It was then announced that those who had subscribed could request that their subscription donation be returned. The re­maining funds would be used for special purposes.

Few requested the return of their donation. A portion of that fund which remained was used to make this issue possible.
