EDITORIALS 37 May number about May 15 and thus complete the current volume. .\s e.xplained in l'he Palladium. the (íeneral Council has found it necessary to curtail magazines in this manner, but it is our earnest hope that, beginning with the fall of 1919, regular publication may be resumed. W'e also cali attention of our readers to the fact that the Indianapolis convention reduced the authorized issue of each magazine volume from fi\'e to four for the college vear. so that our readers who are preserving files of 'I'HE SCROLI. will know that this volume begins the (juarterly plan of publication. Since this is the first issue of THE SCROLL since that of May 1918, it is likely that our readers will desire to know something of general fraternity conditions at this tiine. The fall of 1918 in all colleges will íorever be memorable for the reason that the Fraternity Con- Federal (iovernment, as a war measure, took entire r ,,, control, and for three months operated colleircs and of War ' '^ universi íes b\- means of Students .\rmy Training Corjis. commonl\- known as the S. ;\. T. C The practical effert of this was in many cases an entire disruption of fraternity chapter organizations, and for a while earlv in the fall, it appeared as tliough it was the intention of the (íovernment to do awav entirely with fraternities. When this appearance became threatening the Xational Ínter-Fraternitv Conference, through its executi\e committte, seiit its chairman and secretarv to Washington, where after two or three days consultation with the proper officials of the War Department a ruling was made to the effect that it «as not the intention of the Government to disrupt fraternity organizations and that chapters might hold necessary business meetings and might initiate new members, but that ceremonial and social sessions or meetings must be dispeiisetl with and fraternitv activities res'.rained to just sufíicient to maintain and perpetúate a fraternitv organization. Because at that time the whole country was on its tiptoes in war work and preparations, this was very satisfactory, and wc believe that his intervention of the Inter-Fraternity Conference was the means of sa\ing a great many of the chapters. Meanwhile, however. some of the commandants in charge of S. .\. T. C had assumed a most unfriendly attitude toward fraternities and the result was that quite a number of chapters were put out of com-
38 THE SCROLL mission, in some cases beyond resurrection. To communicate with chapters was a matter of the utmost difficulty as will be seen from the paucity of chapter letters in this issue. From information, either direct or indirect, we believe that at least three-fourths of our chapters are in fair condition and will revive rapidly foUowing the resumption of ordinary coUegiate activi.ies, which is taking place every where with the beginning of the calendar year. The situation now seems to be that the fraternity year of 1918 and 1919 must be condensed into the months of January to June and so far as possible we must urge our chapters to put forth their best efi^orts to get firmly upon their feet before next June so as to be ready next September to carry on all usual and proper fraternity activities as though there had been no war. That will be a great task, but we feel sure that meml)ers of Phi Delta Theta can and will accomplisli it. We are writing this about two months following the signing of the armistice which brought the great world war to a practical conclusión. The end was sudden. In all conditions and walks of life the breaking off of war tensión is very likely to bring about such a Resumption^ of relaxation of effort in all organizations that even if their existence was threatened their orderlv working tions -' ° was an impossibility. Colleges and fraternities are affected in the same way that industry and business generally have been affected. It is now necessary to make the quickest possible change from war to peace conditions. It is necessary to pick up quickly all lines of acíivity that have been gradually dropped since that famous day in April 1917, when finally the kaiser over-shot his mark and brought ruin upon himself and his hosts of hell by liringing this country into war against him. The transition from peace to war was much more gradual than the change is now from war to peace, so that the problem must be met quicker and more decisively. The burden of it naturally rests upon the necessarily small number of active men left by war conditions in each chapter, so that the prompt and active assistance of available alumni will be an absolute necessity for the rebuilding anJ re-establishmtnt of most of the chap'ers. We trust and believe available men will rise to the occasion, who will devote the necessary time and money to this needed work. It must be done, and what must be done, Phis always do.
