quet program will feature three of $ A 0's
and the Nation's most outstanding men and
most brilliant stars in our firmament of
aiter-dinner speakers. Occupying the center
of the stage in the important role of Master
of Ceremonies will be Dr. Paul R. Hawley,
Indiana '12, Major-General U.S. Army, Retired,
and now Chairman of the American
College of Surgeons. Dr. "Ram" Hawley, in
addition to his many other distinguished
accomplishments, is one of the most gifted
raconteurs ever to come out of Hoosierland.
It may be taken for granted, then, that the
great banquet (Phi Philosophy) on Friday
evening, September 3rd, will be conducted
at a lively tempo from start to finish.
Sitting on one side of the Toastmaster
will be Dr. Ralph W. Sockman, Ohio
Wesleyan '11, nationally renowned radio
pastor, writer, columnist and lecturer. Dr.
Sockman, who fills the pastorate at Christ
Church, New York City, has the reputation
of being one of a dozen of the greatest and
most dynamic speakers in the United States
according to a poll conducted some months
ago by one of the popular pictorial magazines.
Who can afford to miss Brother Sockman's
inspiring message
The toastmaster will be flanked on the
other side by one of Canada's and $ A 0's
first citizens, Louis O. Breithaupt, Toronto
'13, who serves the Dominion both as Lt.
Governor of Ontario and as a member of the
Canadian Parliament. Brother Breithaupt
was initiated by Ontario Alpha, Oct. 21,
1909, and holds Bond No. 60. He was graduated
from University of Toronto in 1913.
This distinguished Phi who claims Kitchener,
Ontario, as his home town has been a
prominent industrialist in that city during
his entire adult life. In addition, he has
risen in public life from a beginning as a
member of the Kitchener City Council—to
Mayor of that city—to Parliament—and to
the Lt. Governorship of Ontario. Brother
Breithaupt has a Phi son, Herbert Caskey
Breithaupt, McGill '49, thus lending sentimental
appeal to his participation in the
Convention program. Those who know
Brother Louis O. Breithaupt best describe
him as a man of charming personality and
a forceful speaker. What a banquet program!
Certainly not to be forgotten, or even
relegated to a back seat, will be our perennial
favorite-that indispensable man-
Brother E. N. "Jim" McWiUiams, Ohio '11.
What would a Phi Delt Convention be
without Jim McWilliams This well-known
and well-loved star of stage, screen and
radio until his retirement a few years ago,
will, as usual, be the talent scout, director,
producer, prompter and principal performer
of the traditional Phi Phrolics. This
always popular feature will take place in
the Blue Room of the Grand Hotel on
