time and money into reproducing composites from<br />
1949-1980 that were destroyed in af lood a<br />
number of years ago. These men now have their<br />

an idea of just how <strong>Phi</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Theta</strong> has grown<br />
and evolved at BGSU. This was BrotherCrock's<br />
goodbye gift to the chapter.<br />
