Alumni Secretary
Who was appointed recently by the General
Council to the post of Alumni Secretary to
meet the need for additional emphasis on the
alumni phase of Phi Delta Theta's program.
Brother Blackwell is well known throughout the Fraternity, having
served as Scholarship Commissioner for five years, and as President of
Beta Province for five years. He has entered into his new work with the
same vigor that has characterized all of his endeavor in behalf of Phi Delta
Theta. He submitted an outline of a temporary program at the recent
Officers' Conference in Oxford, and it was touched off by the phrase which
heads this page. According to Ray, an alumnus of Phi Delta Theta may
be said to be a "Working Phi" if he . . .

Founders Day dinner. Alumni Club luncheons or meetings. General
