recent honor, receiving the Founders' Trophy from National
Headquarters. It was presented to the chapter by
Spencer Carver, chapter advisor. At our last meeting Hobby
McCall, Nu Province President, awarded our chapter a
Scholarship Trophy. We were proud to have attained the
highest grade average ever achieved by any fraternity on the
S. M. U. campus. As usual, we are to date undefeated in
intramural football, with three games behind us so far.
Our golf team has also won all matches played. John
Kerr, recently affiliated from Dartmouth, was serenaded
last Monday night in honor of his pinning. In conclusion,
one other outstanding accomplishment by a
member of our chapter—J. L. Prideaux was named Lieutenant
Colonel in the R.O.T.C. program as a Group
Commander.—CHARLES WEBB, Reporter.

VERMONT ALPHA
University of Vermont
No letter received.
VIRGINIA BETA, University of Virginia.—The return
to the books this Fall has been met with much enthusiasm
by all the brothers. Our librarian, Wally Hatch, has
arranged our library in an efficient manner and the
brothers are off to a roaring start. Only Crowell reported
late, and that was due to an extended trip abroad. A
recent report from the University has shown that our
tremendous efforts last semester in our scholastic program
have paid off. We now find that we stand only a
hair under the all men's average, and with our present
scholastic program underway we expect to shoot weU
over the half-way mark. Again our Phis are active in
varsity sports. In football four returning lettermen have
again proved to be unsurpassable stalwarts. Ray Quillen
and Charlie Modlin have been starring while handling
most of the duties at the end positions. Big "Shady"
Schelhorn, is again doing an excellent job at tackle, and
although recently injured. Hank Strempek has again
shown his power and speed in the backfield. In soccer
"Bo" Hopkins has earned himself a position on the
varsity. Bill McKee has been seen running up and down
the Blue Ridge Mountains in preparation for the coming
cross country season. Our intramural program has
made an excellent start with the volleyball and football
teams still undefeated. Glenn HoUoman has proved to be
quite an efficient and capable intramural manager. Al
Smith and Sid Kinkead have launched a heavy rushing
schedule which should prove successful. Second year men
may be bid in October, and first year men will be bid
early next semester.—BOB BIGGAR, Reporter,
VIRGINIA GAMMA, Randolph-Macon College.—The
class of 1953 contributed more than the usual honor to
* A 6. Of our thirteen graduates, four—Reid Sinclair, John
