The SCROLL o/Phi Delta ThetaOctober1932Volume 57No. 1Estes Park Entertains ConventionPhis of Colorado Stage Highly Successful GatheringBy DEAN HOFFMAN, Dickinson, '02COLORFUL COLORADO" absorbed upwardsof 500 Phi Delts and theirladies in effective fashion at the biennialconvention of the Fraternity at EstesPark, August 29-September i inclusive.At the same time the state shoved into theranks of the impresarios of Fraternity conventions,"Cappy" Williams and his committeemenof the Denver Alumni Club.From first to last those Denver Phisshowed the open-heartedness of the West,anticipating every reasonable need for comfortand contentment of their guests andlavishing generosity like a cowboy on a tripto town. They staged a characteristic scheduleof entertainment including an hilarious"hold-up," a barbecue, a rodeo, a motorride at a 12,000-foot elevation, saying nothingof the more effete breakfasts, luncheons,dances, golf contests, and card parties.As has been the necessity in recent years,the day prior to the convention's openingwas devoted to a series of conferences andcommittee meetings. These were held atthe "Y" in Denver with a complimentaryluncheon to delay as little as possible theconvention's agenda. Such meetings involvedaU the general officers, includingprovince presidents, and a large proportionof the undergraduate delegates.The official program was launched Mon-[3 ]day morning, August 29, at the Union Stationwhere Phi Delts already in the citygathered to greet their brothers on earlymorning trains and all to be the guests ofthe Denver Alumni Club at breakfast.Immediately thereafter buses wereboarded for Washington Park, Denver, andthe dedication of a bronze tablet on thewall of the Eugene Field Memorial Library.Nothing in all the convention schedulewas more impressive than this briefceremony as the Fraternity marked in permanentform this cottage which served ashome for Brother Field when he workedfor the old Denver Tribune and whichnow serves the Denver children as a library.Again the buses, this time for the seat ofthe convention at Estes Park nearly a hundredmiles north. It was "high" noon inmore ways than one when the buses begannegotiating the last of the 7600-foot levelupon which Hotel Stanley is situated. Soonto catch the eye in front of the hotel was astaff from which fluttered in the sunshineand breeze the American, Canadian, British,Colorado, and Fraternity flags.Luggage had gone on ahead and for mostof the delegates was deposited in previouslyassigned rooms when the visitors arrived.This was just another sample of the way

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor Novem,ber, \9'il"Cappy" Williams saw to it that conventiondetails clicked. Luncheon followed andthen convention sessions started on theirfour-day experience of being sandwichedbetween convention entertainments.The opening convention session was attendedby the ladies, more of whom perhapsattended this convention than for manyyears. Edward "Cappy" Williams as conventionchairman presided. Daniel A. Millett,president of the Denver Alumni Club,welcomed the delegates on behalf of theColorado Phis, while Dr. Joseph C. Nate,Grand Historian and Grand Tribune ofS X, brought greetings from the MiamiTriad.Responses to the welcome were madeby Judge W. R. Bayes of the GeneralCouncil; William H. Bremner, Minneapolis,on behalf of the alumni clubs, and byC. A. L. Johnstone, Jr., Alabama Alpha,on behalf of the undergraduates. The businesssession under President Haas followedimmediately.This and other convention sessions wereheld in the casino, a short walk from thehotel. The auditorium was draped withFraternity and national colors and the bannersof more than half the chapters. Thehotel itself was decorated, dining room,lobby, and other first floor rooms, with theflags of many of the colleges at which theFraternity has chapters. One of the strikingdecorative features was the "coveredwagon" silhouettes which not only addedcolor to the picture but whetted the covetousnessof the souvenir hunter. Many ofthem doubtless hang in dormitory rooms atthis moment.Before the evening session of the conventionthe crowds "stood by" to witnessin front of the hotel an "Old Timer Cele-The General Council, 1930-32, and the Executive SecretaryLett lo Tight: Ruby, Clark, Banta, Haas, Bayes, Priest.

It involved such rough and readycowpunchers and "bad men" as "Rube"Ball, former traveling secretary, and otherColorado Phi Delts astride horses and inside"chaps" and all that as they startedin pursuit of the desperado who attackeda perfectly innocent stage coach and itsoccupants. Of course the "villain" wasfound after several hot heats around thehotel, brought before a hastily convenedcourt of justice in the hotel dining room, hislife sought in vain by a "Girl of the GoldenWest," and his deserved retribution at theend of a rope thrown over the balustradeof the hotel's porte-cochere, a rope thatobligingly released itself just at the psychologicalmoment.Most affrighted in the audience appearedto be those dignified ladies and gentlemenwho just that morning had been the breakfastguests of Brother Millett at his Denverresidence and had been assured that theWest after many struggles had now beentamed and could be trusted.Next morning, immediately after breakfast,the whole company save those sufferingfrom altitude headaches and other penaltiesof the upper levels, was given smallpackages of chewing gum. Soon the ideaprevailed that gum-chewing was the bestsafeguard against the perils of the 12,000-foot level soon to be reached over the famousand newly opened Trail Ridge Roadover Fall River Pass. Thereupon the moretimid chewed all the more tirelessly as thebuses filled up with passengers.Back in time for lunch and a conventionsession and off to the wide open spacesnear the Stanley for an "elk" barbecuein the Far Western manner. A big bon-

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor November,\3'ilfire furnished illumination for the alfrescomeal of "elk," baked potato, relish, beans,coffee, and other substantial of an outdoorfeed. As the company circled about the firea well-informed representative of the NationalPark Service told the story of theRocky Mountains, branding them as meregeological youngsters compared with theflat-topped ranges of the East.The only rain of the convention dispersedthe audience and sent the delegate sectioninto a night convention session. Wednesday,the thirty-first, found the convention inmorning session and another session thatafternoon cleared the decks fairly well ofimportant business so that adjournmentcould be had early to click with a thrillingrodeo (hard a accent on the e, please) ona plateau a'mile from the hotel. Here wasgood showmanship in "fan-tails," "bucks,"roping, and other tricks of the cowboys.The gallery kept up a barage of "wisecracks."Some of the morbidly curiouscrowded close enough to the "chutes" tobe brushed by the bucking ponies. Finallythe Fraternity sent two of its own "cowboys"into the lists, Frank Smith, of Denver,and "Larry" Armstrong, who camedown from his home in Wyoming to showthat no matter how he could toss the"bull," no bull could toss him—and it didn't.The convention banquet in the diningroom of the Stanley followed in a fewhours. There were 325 places and everyone of them occupied. Familiar cheers andsongs from the different colleges marked theprogress of the meal, when suddenly thelights were extinguished for the final course.The band started a gay march. Into theroom in military fashion marched the waitresses,carrying flaming torches on trays.The diners beat a tattoo with their handsand cutlery striking the tableware as smokingAlaska pies were served.Three Generations at the ConventionHilton V. Brovn, Butler, '80, President of the GeneralCouncil, 1882-86 (center), Mark H. Brown,Butter, '07, his son (left), and Mark H.

Now it was Elmer C.Henderson's turn as toastmaster to provehis case. He did it superbly as a Past Presidentshould. The delegates were ready forsome of the best speeches ever made at aPhi Delt banquet and they got them.Then followed presentation of trophiesto winners in golf and other sports, a specialprize being reserved for "Bob" Haas,retiring president, for never having got offthe tee. Perhaps the most touching episodeof the whole convention was the presentationby Arthur R. Priest, executive secretary,on behalf of the Denver Phis, of ajeweled pin to Dan A. Millett.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor November, 1932Brother Priest, as dean of the Universityof Washington years ago, first suggestedto Brother Millett the organization ofWashington Alpha at that institution.Brother Millett was the second to sign theBond. Reference to this and other relationsof the past were made by BrotherPriest who with considerable dramaticskill paid tribute to the man at his sideand then pinned the badge on his breast.The recipient was taken by complete surprise.It was obvious that he was laboringunder deep emotions. As he was strivingto gain control of himself, the diners werethemselves visibly affected by what was be-Three Former Traveling Secretaries—of the Fraternity, Fred J.

Brother Millett'swere not the only throat musclesthat were constricted. The silence of the325 diners was another tribute to the presidentof the Denver Phis who at lengthmustered a few words to express his gratitude,as he sank to his chair.Somewhat in the same category was thepresentation of a Golden Legion certificateto Dr. Jones by that knight-errant of * A 0,Brother Hilton U. Brown, Indianapolisnewspaper editor, who rarely misses a convention.As he reviewed the span of yearsby which a Phi gains the rank of the GoldenLegion, Brother Brown spoke tenderly offraternal associations and the grip one's fraternityhas. This concluded a dinner, perhapsunlike any in the history of the Fraternityfor its heart appeal.A "night club" set-up in the nearby casinowas available for the delegates after thebanquet.Business sessions of the convention werejust as strenuously devoted to business. Asusual, reports of all the general officers ofthe Fraternity were presented at the varioussessions. Fred J. Milligan, assistant deanof men at Ohio State and chairman of thecommittee on constitution and general statutes,became almost as familiar a figure as"Cappy" Williams as he presented the innumerableinstallments of his committee'sreport. Many other committee reports wereaccepted verbatim or modified by conventionaction.Of four petitions for charters which camebefore the appropriate committee, two werereferred to the convention for action, thosefrom the local groups at the University ofWyoming and at Massachusetts Instituteof Technology. The latter received a favorablevote and upon installation, tentatively

Some unique parliamentarymaneuvering was witnessedupon the Wyoming petition and although itwas denied the group was given a vote ofencouragement by the convention.One significant action taken by a businesssession was the resolution urging the devotionof a portion of the Palmer Endowmentfunds for immediate use for scholarshiploans if feasible. This had been anoriginal intention for this fund but thetrustees had felt that the fund had not yetattained sufficient size to permit it.Following an epochal report by ReubenC. Ball of the Western Electric Company'spersonnel staff, the convention adopted areport formulated by him looking towardthe establishment of rehabilitation work formembers of the Fraternity. This importantwork is to be undertaken under direction ofBrother Ball.The concluding session of the Conventionwas held the morning of September iafter the group picture was taken in anunusual setting of rock and pool. The finalsession was marked by the installation ofthe General Council, who had been electedthe day before: George Banta, Jr., President;Judge Wilham R. Bayes and JosephM. Clark, who were re-elected, and thenew members, Daniel A. Millett, of Denver,and Dean Hoffman, of Harrisburg,Pennsylvania, president of Gamma Province.Tributes were paid to retiring President,Robert E. Haas, who concluded 12years of service on the General Council, andEdward E. Ruby, whose new business connectionsprompted him to retire.With lunch the convention festivitieswere at an end and the hegira began. Manyof the delegates remained for sight-seeing.During the afternoon, general officers includingprovince presidents, went to the9800-foot level at Bear Lake for a dayand a half of conference on organizationfor the next biennium. Before six o'clocknext evening all the officers had left EstesPark behind them, all but its memories ofa highly successful and delightful convention,and eager for the next convention, thetime and place of which were left to theGeneral Council for, determination.HAn Undergraduate'sImpressionBy J.

The Estes Park BiennialConvention brought home to me this fact,that our Fraternity is very realistically amighty brotherhood of some thirty-threethousand living members. When properlytapped, just what force this latent powermight have is almost an alarming thought.Perhaps it was that gesture of "Hello"and that spirit of "Comradeship" which impressedme. More explicitly I felt that areal vibrant bond linked us together in afriendship as binding and comprehensive asthat of an individual family.More than this, though, was the crystallizationof my previous conception of theideals of * A 0. They developed from wordto deed, took on tangible form, in the adventof a fuller appreciation, of the sacrificeswhich our forefathers had made.Tempering, and at times almost taintingthis idealism, was that spectre of finances.But justly proud we should be of the trusteesof our endowment funds. For in thesetimes when banks are failing on either handand investments are barely worth the valueof a "Judas' word" the funds have not sustaineda single major loss.I set upon my homeward trek, not withouta sense of poignant regret that it wasover, but with a far deeper appreciation ofthe "faith and works" that have carried* A 0 throughout the eighty-four yearssince its inception.where the Officers Communed with NatureBern Lake and the neighboringthe background.glacier inTwo Golden LegioimairesDr. Millard F.

TROXELLGettysburg, '80y FIRST CONVENTION experience ofM * A 0 was at Indianapolis in 1880,and there we elected George Banta asPresident of the Fraternity. My latest conventionexperience has been at Estes Park,and here we elected George Banta, Jr., asPresident of the Fraternity. If there are anymore George Bantas we may hope theywill be eligible to the highest office at somefuture date.From Indianapolis to Estes is a broadjump and both conventions will have hadfar-reaching and strong influences for thehistorian to note in his story of the Fraternity'sprogress. Vivid recollections of bothconventions crowd the mind for expression.At the former they center about the personalitiesof Banta, Palmer, Gywn Foster,Clarence Goodwin, Emmet Tompkins, Hil-

AtEstes they include Ed Williams, ArthurPriest, President Haas, Judge Bayes, HiltonBrown, Banta, Jr., Frank Mitchell, HenryUrion, Dean Hoffman, B. M. Davis, andothers.It is probable that no convention hasgiven closer heed to business than the onejust held. The older members there and theyoung brothers from the active chapterswere alike alive to the discussions and thepassage of motions to mold and shape theFraternity's future. With such interest aswas manifest there need be no doubt aboutthe onward and upward march of * A @.The frequent and reverent references to theBond gave us older members the thrill ofloyal love anew for the high aims of thepresent generation of Phi Delts.While thus devoted to the first thingsfor which a convention is held, the importantbusiness considerations, it is likely thatno convention has had so interesting anddiversified a program of entertainment andrecreation—these so placed as to fit into thehours and time as not to hinder businessnor allow the one feature to interfere withthe other. How could it be otherwise withsuch a master of arrangement, ceremonies,and detail as Ed Williams, of Denver, aschairman of the convention committee ?Remember the exercises in Denver dedicatingthe bronze memorial tablet at theEugene Field Children's Library in whichbesides the notable Phi Delts the mayor ofDenver and the chairman of the city libraryboard took part—then the swift driveto Estes 75 miles away, Stanley Hotelgreeting with five flags floating in thebreeze from the tall white staff frontingthe hotel—Old Glory, Union Jack, DominionFlag of Canada, Colorado State flag,and * A 0 banner, the evening revival ofold mining days—shooting sharpers, hangthe smart youngster, bar, gambling tables,rope twirlers Will Rogers style, Indiandances from love to war dance, the Tuesdayevening elk's meat barbecue, the bigbonfire, the new trail and mountain topdrive with its snow squall, the Wednesdayrodeo, roping calves and cows, buckinghorses, the final beautiful banquet, the golftournaments and tennis prizes, the horseshoes,the horseback rides, the picture taking,the charming Phi Delt ladies, the oldtimertalks, the new acquaintances, theStanley fireplaces of blazing cedar logs—how do you do, goodbye.It was a great time in which a GoldenLegionnaire could take notes and renew hisyouth.

The tablet wasaccepted on behalf of the libraryboard of the city ofDenver by Frederick R.Ross, president of the board.The mayor of Denver wasintroduced at the services.The Field Children's Libraryoccupies the samebuilding in which Eugene Field lived whilea resident of Denver and which severalyears ago, as a result of the efforts of Mrs.J. J. Browri of that city, was moved fromits former location opposite the present cityhall to its present beautiful site in WashingtonPark.It is now used as a children's libraryand contains a full collection of the writ-J

ings of the famous children's poet, as wellas a number of holograph letters of Fieldto his relatives.The project of placing a tablet on thewalls of the library was first suggested byDr. M. F. Troxell, Gettysburg, '80, secondeditor of THE SCROLL, and now aretired minister living in Denver, and IraE. Lute, Iowa Wesleyan, '97, general secretaryof the Denver Y.M.C.A.Eugene Field's daughter, Mrs. MaryF. F. Englar, was unable to be present atthe services but sent a beautiful letter whichwas read during the ceremony. Mrs. Englar,as Mary French Field, was made a"Daughter of the Fraternity" at the Semicentennialconvention at Columbus, Ohio,in 1898.The ceremonies in Washington Parktook place just after the special breakfastarranged for the newly arrived delegateson Monday morning, August 29 at theDenver Union station. Busses transporteddelegates and visitors from the station tothe park and after the services there thehegira continued to Estes Park many milesnorth of Denver.Dr. Jones' speech of presentation of thetablet to the Denver library board follows:"In the unique personality of EugeneField there was blended beautifully thewhimsical philosopher, the poet, the humorist,and the lover of childhood. He was thewizard of the smile and the tear. Whetheras reporter, poet, satirist, or citizen, hehated shams. 'He drew the things as hesaw them, for the God of the things asthey are.' Although a versatile satirist, 'nospark of his wit was ever a cinder in theeye of a friend.'"Because he was an apostle of Reality,the children loved him. With trumpet anddrum he led them, rich child, poor child,city child, village child, country child. Yes,he led the democracy of childhood. Notlike a Pied Piper to the river, but like ashepherd, he taught them to romp in 'greenpastures,' he splashed with them in the 'stillwaters.' The greatest of all Teachers said,'Except a man become as a little child, heshall not enter the Kingdom of God.' Whohas not thrilled at the 'Duel between theGingham Dog and the Calico Cat?' Whohas not brushed away the furtive tear whenNevin set to music the tender epic of the'Little Boy Blue?'"Brother Phis, it is fitting that we pauseat this shrine of childhood's friend, to leaveS]

Intimate Glimpses of Our New PresidentGeorge Banta, 3Td Generation,Setting Type Home of the Bantas at Menasha, Wisconsin

New Officersand General Council MembersGeorge Banta, Jr., ElectedPresidentBy HENRY K. URIONDartmouth, '12PERSONS like institutions developfrom the men whorear them. Probably no one activein the fraternity world hasthe background, traditions andexperience of his fraternity sointimately interwoven into his life as hasthe new President of the General Council,George Banta, Jr., Wabash, '14.Being a son of the first President of theGeneral Council would, in itself, be amarked distinction. The father, GeorgeBanta, Franklin-Indiana, '76, likewise isrich in the heritages of * A 0—the firstPhi son of a Phi father, whose son, MarkBanta, Wisconsin, '04 was the first thirdgenerationPhi in the Fraternity, and whosegrandson, George Banta, III, Wabash,'26, became the first fourth-generation Phi.Since his undergraduate days the name ofGeorge Banta, Sr., has been almost synonymouswith * A 0 and now he is the belovedpatriarch of the Fraternity, the lastliving. intimate of the Founders and thesurvivor of those who built upon the foundationsso enduringly laid by the ImmortalSix.Fortunate is he who not only has theheritages of ancestry but has also the talentsof energy, ability and character to justifythe illustrious names of his forbears. GeorgeBanta, Jr., is one so fortunate. Initiated intothe Fraternity at the General Conventionheld in the summer of 1910, he enteredinto the activities of his Chapter and Collegereuniting in a rich accomplishment ofhis undergraduate life.After leaving college, he immediately enteredthe publishing business established by[19]his father, at Menasha, Wisconsin.By dint of his energy andability he succeeded his illustriousfather as the head of thebusiness and expanded its activitiesuntil it is now one of theforemost houses in the magazineand book publishing field,specializing in the publicationsof technical societies, collegesand fraternities and sororities A majorityof the Greek letter magazines bear the imprintof the Collegiate Press, showing theGeorge Banta Publishing Company astheir publishers.Answering the call of President Macauleyto take over the editorship of THESCROLL and palladium in the emergencyresulting from the reorganization of the administrationof the Fraternity, BrotherGeorge Banta, Jr., entered the GeneralCouncil in 1926 as Reporter, to which officehe was successively reelected until hischoice as President of the General Councilat Estes Park. Long identified with theInterfraternity Conference, he represented* A © as delegate at the annual meetingsof that body in recent years, and servedas the head of the organization made upof fraternity editors. Associate editor andpublisher of Banti^s Greek Exchange he hada wide acquaintanceship and familiarity withaffairs in the Greek-letter world.Brother Banta's election as President ofthe General Council of * A 0 followedthe reelection of his wife, Margaret K.Banta, to tjje presidency of K A 0 at itsconvention, likewise held at Estes Park,last June. Probably this is the first instanceof the conferring of such an honor—a husbandand wife simultaneously serving asthe chief executives of a fraternity and sororityoutstanding in the Greek world.

20 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor November, 1932As a member of the General CouncilBrother Banta has long served with distinction.Unsparingly he gave his time, untiringlyhe contributed his experience,knowledge, and sound judgment, alwaysunselfishly for the welfare of his belovedFraternity. Only those closely connectedwith' him can have a true appreciation of theservice he has rendered, and * A 0 is fortunatein the choice of its leader for the ensuingbiennium.Daniel A.

Millett, Washington, 'oi,once an Arizona cowboy and now a prominentDenver investment banker, is typicalof that hardy group that punched cattle betweenTexas and Wyoming, prospected atCripple Creek and laid ties on the U.P.President of the Denver Alumni Club,Brother Millett was elected to the GeneralCouncil at the recently concluded EstesPark convention.Daniel A.MillettIt was largely through his financial assistancethat the Denver Alumni Club wasable to play host to the $ A 0 conventiondelegates.Brother Millett obtained his Bachelor ofArts degree at the University of Washingtonin 1901. A charter member of WashingtonAlpha and its first president, he wasthe nucleus around which the chapter wasorganized and granted a charter in 1900.Leaving the University of Washingtonwith a * B K key, Brother Millett enteredColumbia University to study law and remainedthere two years, or until his healthfailed him, causing him to move to Arizona—thenas now—a vast sandy wastedotted with giant cactus.After his second year at the Universityof Washington, his education was interruptedfor two years. During that time heworked in a small country bank and becamethe youngest national bank cashierin the country.It was in Arizona that Brother Millettengaged in the cattle business, rode herd,repaired fences and galloped once a weekto Punkin Center for the mail—all in asuccessful attempt to regain his health.In time, his business spread to the statesthroughout the Rocky Mountain region andin 1918 he moved to Denver.Brother Millett has always taken an activepart in civic affairs and has been interestedparticularly in developing the livestockindustry throughout the nation. Hewas prominently identified with the AmericanNational Livestock Association and followingthe World War was chairman of theNational Livestock and Meat Board withheadquarters in Chicago.Always interested in the welfare of hisFraternity, Brother Millett was selectedto make the principal address at the 1930convention banquet in Detroit.He gained national prominence in thespring of 1930 when he analyzed and criticizedthe Agricultural Marketing Act underwhich the Farm Board was organized,at a United States Chamber of Commercemeeting in Washington, D.C. The

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor November, 1932 21address has since been considered a contributionto national economic thought.-Today, at 53, he is one of Denver's leadingcitizens, widely-known and liked, thefather of two sons and two daughters.Brother Millett was nominated for theGeneral Council by Charles E. Gaches,Washington, '01, one of his closest companionsduring undergraduate days and alsoone of the charter members of WashingtonAlpha.The new Council member is a vestrymanin St. John's Episcopal Cathedral andholds memberships in the Denver Club,Denver Country Club, the University Club,and the Mile High Club of Denver.Dean HoffmanBy GEORGE BANTA, JR., Wabash, '14HERE never has been a more popularTelection to the General Council thanthat of Dean Hoffman, Dickinson, '02.Capable, genial, dependable; these andmore adjectives are needed to describe ourfeelings toward this brother from Pennsylvaniawho has been a familiar figure at recentPhi conventions.Dean has a rare combination of sentimentand practical good judgment which makehim invaluable as a fraternity worker. Heis the type of general officer which * A 0must have if we are to meet the problemswhich are before us.At Dickinson, Dean was president of thesophomore class, senior chairman, memberof Ravens Clan (honorary), manager ofthe track team, and a * B K. He held allthe offices in Pennsylvania Epsilon and sincegraduation has been secretary of his classand advisory editor of the Dickinson Alumnus.He has been a member of the Board ofTrustees of Dickinson College for eightyears.A lifelong newspaper man. BrotherHoffman entered the profession in Harrisburgin 1902. He went to Philadelphia in1905 to join the staflF of the North Americanand in 1907 became night city editor ofthe Philadelfhia Press. He spent the year1910 in Europe and returned to Harrisburgin 1911 where he joined the staff of VanceMcCormick's newspaper enterprises. He hasserved as city editor, managing editor, andeditor-in-chief successively of the Patriotand, when it was started, the Evening News.In the Fraternity, Brother Hoffmanserved as assistant province president underGeorge Ward, and when he retired tookover his section of Pennsylvania. His workas a province president has been very outstandingand his handling of a most difficultcase which came up in one of his chaptersis a model of technique and tact and remainsa classic example of how to do thejob. He organized the * A 0 Club of Harrisburgabout fifteen years ago and is a trusteeof the Pennsylvania Epsilon ChapterHouse Association.Dean is 51, married, and has a huskytwelve year old son also named Dean. Heis a Presbyterian, teaches a boys' class inSunday school, is a member of the HarrisburgChamber of Commerce, and belongsto the Masonic Order.Dean Hoffman is leaving his mark on$ A 0.

Dr. Carter Helm Jones,Richmond, *82-Virginia,'86JonesAddressIsConvention Banquet HighpointWHAT was generally conceded to beone of the most successful banquetsever held in conjunction witha convention of the Fraternity was followedby a speaking program which the generalconsensus of opinion held to exceed eventhe banquet itself.Though there were two formal addresses,those of Dr. Carter Helm Jones, Richmond,'Sl-Virginia, '86, and Judge WilliamR. Bayes, Ohio Wesleyan, 'o2. Treasurerof the General Council, the excellent"toastmasting" of Elmer Henderson, Westminster,'93, Past President of the GeneralCouncil, introduced a number of otheri-speakers for various parts in the program.Dr. Jones spoke on "The Bond of PhiDelta Theta." Incidentally, there was presentat the convention and the banquet WilliamO. Morgan, California, '87, who,with Dr. Jones, had been on the banquetprogram at the Louisville convention in1900, almost a third of a century before.Dr. Jones said in part:I AM ASKED to speak tonight upon the Bond.I believe that the Bond was divinely inspired.I think the angels hovered near Morrison andWilson when they wrote that Bond, the sameangels that guided the pen of Moses when hewrote the Ten Commandments, the same angelsthat took part in the birth song of Jesus that

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor November^ 1932 23sounded o*er the Judean hills in the long ago.It is a magnificent piece of practical idealism.I was surprised when I first studied it, to seethat it quietly said that it was to last forever.But why shouldn't it? As long as the Ten Commandmentsstand, as long as the Sermon on theMount is the basis of real civilization, our Bondshall stand *'till the sun grows cold, and the starsare old, and the leaves of the judgment bookunfold."I would like to say that $ A 0 is an expressionof practical idealism. It dreams dreams.It sees visions. But it doesn't stop there. I loveto think of that one vision in the long ago towardwhich the pilgrim feet of three great religionsloved to travel. It was that ladder thatstretched from heaven to earth, when an ambitiousyoung man was sleeping with his head upona stone, and angels ascending and descending. Hearose and said, "Surely God is in this place, andI knew it not." And he took the stone whichwas his pillow and set it up for a pillar andvowed a vow, and Judaism and Christianity andMohammedanism go back to that spot. Happythe man that can pass from pillow to pillar, cantranslate his dream into deed, his vision into vow.It is a great thing to dream dreams. My favoritestory of Abraham Lincoln, the great proverbialphilosopher, is this: One day some gentlemencame to him and said, "Mr. Lincoln, howlong ought a man's legs to be?""Well," he said, "I have never given any specialattention to the length of a man's legs, butI should think they ought to be long enoughto reach the ground."There is great philosophy there. We dreamour dreams, we see our visions, but the practicalidealism of the Bond of ^ A 0 keeps its feeton the ground. It translates itself into activitiesand into deeds. It is a great time when a mansees his vision and then puts it into effect. A manwith a vision without a task is a visionary. Aman with a task without a vision is a drudge.A man with a vision and a task is a ^ A 0,cooperating with God in building a world ofbeauty.And so may I remark that the Bond of $ A 0which is the basis of our beloved Fraternity, isa challenge to personality. It challenges personalityfirst of all to find itself. My favorite storyis one of Kipling's, "The Ship that Found Herself."Tragic, the personality that does not knowitself. $ A 0 discovers personality, introducespersonality to itself, and helps to differentiatenot only the ego and the non-ego, but the variousand marvelous items in the inventory of personality,until it comes to itself. Not only that, itchallenges personality to realize itself.Young brothers—and oh! how I leve you, andhow I have been thrilled during these meetings—you are going forth into an age that threatenspersonality, with machinery, machine production,mass production, over-organization, standardizationj forces which dare to cross the sacred precinctsof personality and tell a man what hemust think, what he must love, what he mustbelieve, what he must do. For a few dollars, theman of today can have put on his table regularlyordained, O.K.'d, none-genuine-without-the-label,opinions of every subject, agricultural, horticultural,theological, artistic, political, literary,philosophic, and scientific. How dare a man yieldand become a mere atom, driven by the wind?^ A 0 discovers personality, and then calls It torealize Itself.It is a great thing to get the other fellow'spoint of view. One of the beautiful things abouta $ A 0 chapter house is that if a man doesn'tlearn the other fellow's point of view he learnssomething else and learns It quickly. It is thearistocracy of democracy, I repeat, believing inthe best and choosing the best.A * A © chapter house is a home of optimism.I am an unashamed, unapologetic. Incorrigible optimist,and I don't believe I am altogether a fool,either. Optimism doesn't mean that I think everythingI see is the best. Optimism opens its eyes;It knows when it rains. It knew yesterday morningthat it was cold up on those arctic heights.I saw two or three bus loads of beloved Phisand I said, "There go some 'frozen* $ A 0'assets.'"No, optimism knows when it is dark. I amin the habit sometimes of defining faith as factplus. Optimism puts the plus there, and says,"Of course it is dark." But optimism knows thatthe old sun will rise on time, and that if theclouds go away the stars will gem the sky asGod taught them to smile. Optimism believes inthe best, and believing in the best It believes thebest has a right, an inherent right, to win, andbelieving that, an optimistic personality mobilizesevery power of his mystic personality In the interestof the best.$ A •© Is optimistic. Why? Because It Isn'tdealing with senility and has-beens; it is dealingwith youth, today and tomorrow. I think of* A 0 as brooding over her boys, her sons, asI have caught a mother when she knew it not,looking into the cradle where her boy was sleeping.She bathes him with the love-light of tenderness,she enwraps him with a mother's prayers.But In analyzing that look, I have seen the propheticlook which presclently pulls aside the curtainsof tomorrow, and sees her boy leading thevan in some glorious enterprise. $ A 0 lovesher sons, with a prophetic love, a love that believesin them and believes in God and believesthat they will help build a world and a betterworld.

24 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor November, 1932Judge W. R. BayesBanquet SpeakerElmer C. HendersonBanquet ToastmasterHilton U. BrownBanquet SpeakerMy third point is this: that * A 0, interpretingits deathless Bond, not only calls personalityto develop, not only binds men In that mysticbrotherhood that calls to mind a David and aJonathan, a Damon and a Pythias, and the gentleMaster who looked around at his table companionsthat last night and said, with exquisitetenderness, "Henceforth I call you friends"—notonly that, but * A 0 stands for RADIANT SERVICE.It does not care to develop personalities thatthey may be "cribbed, cabined, and confined" toselfish use, but there comes in that other bigword, not only the centripetal force that gathersthem, but the centrifugal force that sends themout to make them radiate what they have. Itstands for freedom, a freedom which goes intoreligion and makes a man so free and broad thathe dares not be narrow and sectarian. It goesinto politics and dares a man to be a mere partisan,and makes a patriotism which is abovepartisanship as the stars are above our little lights.It is poisonous to prejudice, it is the enemy ofselfishness, it is gloriously alive.I love our name, "$ A 0." I am so gladthat those beautiful, symmetrical Greek letters,that are talismanic in the exquisite magic of their- power, mean something. I am glad our Fraternityisn't an A.M. or S.O.S. or any other Anglicizedabomination. It is the Greek-letter fraternity.Don't misunderstand me. I love mybrother Greeks. We have learned to throwinto the discard that ancient adage "when Greekmeets Greek then comes the tug of war." No!When Greek meets Greek on that fine Panhellenicplane, we catch step and march forth todo battle against the "barbarians" of error andignorance, prejudice and Intolerance. I am gladwe are Greeks. It seems but yesterday, and yet itwas thirty-four years ago, that I stood on theAcropolis at Athens. I still feel the intojycation ofthat glorious week, looking through the opalescentair and seeing the groves where Socrates andPlato and Aristotle had their disciples gather,looking down where Demosthenes made a newmusic in the symphony of human speech, andlooking away to those storied quarries whence theParian and Pentelic marbles came, from whichPhidias and Praxiteles wooed their dreams ofbeauty. But back of us was that marvelous Parthenon,alike the dream, ideal, and despair ofall succeeding architects. I saw a little templethat I had never heard of. May I liken it toa $ A 0 chapter house? It was the beautifullittle temple of Nike Apteros. Nike Apteros wasthe wingless victory. Oh, Athens dreamed that awingless victory might never soar away fromthem, but would abide there. Every ^ A 0 chapterhouse should be a temple of the winglessvictory, and in that spirit of optimism that makesme tonight look toward you young men, I askwhat if three score years and ten are mine? Iam young with you. I love with you. I conquerwith you. I invoke a wingless victory that shallalways give us the triumph over wrong andignorance, over intolerance and prejudice. Let thedays to come be the days that shall carry furtherour dreams, and let us sing:"Others may sing the song.Others may ri^ht the wrong.Finish what I begin.And what I fail of, win.What matter I, or they.Mine or another's day,So the right word be said.And life the sweeter made.Ring bells, in unreared steeples.The joy of unborn peoples.Sound, trumps, your blasts far-borne,Your joy is all my own."Ladies Banquet,Too—WHILE the men were enjoying theirsplendid convention banquet, the ladies, inanother part of the hotel, had a fine dinnerwith menus, toasts and much enthusiasm.

Nate Speaks for Miami Triadin Welcoming ConventionA MONG the several outstanding addressesl\ of the opening session of the conventionon Monday afternoon, August29, one of the best received was that of Dr.Joseph C. Nate, Grand Historian andGrand Tribune of the S X Fraternity.Dr. Nate, a resident of Denver, welcomedthe members of the Fraternity toColorado mountains as one who had adoptedthe territory through choice. He spoke ofhis many friendships with Phis, dating fromhis undergraduate days at Illinois WesleyanUniversity, home of our dormant chapter,Illinois Epsilon.A common danger faced by the threemembers of the Miami Triad, Dr. Nateaverred, was that the fraternities might regardthemselves too much as mere organizamthe second floor of this building in Oxford, Ohio, Sigma Chi was founded. Note theSig tablet commemorating the event between the two windows at the left.

"You younger men," he said,"will come to the day when you will lookback and say the best friends you have hadthrough all the years, the men you wouldmost vitally trust with the important thingsin your lives, are the men you sat beside inthe chapter halls of the colleges of today."Dr. Nate spoke feelingly of his long associationwith Walter Benjamin Palmer, authorof The History of Phi Delta Theta,and asked that the delegate from BrotherPalmer's chapter, Georgia Beta, be calledforward in order that he could present thechapter, through Henry L. Bowden, thedelegate, with a set of his own work.

Men like Leonard Straight,leader of the bar of North Dakota, I think itwas, in later years; Delmar Darrah, one of theoutstanding Masons of the world today, my ownclassmate and friend through all the years. Youknow in those years in the smaller colleges wechummed up with those in other chapters. Darrahand I were friends throughout the collegeyears.That was college days. In the years afterwardthere were Walter B. Palmer, a man of noblememory among all fraternities; Mr. GeorgeBanta, Sr. j and in these later years, GeorgeBanta, Jr.; Judge Bayes; Dr. Priest. I thoughtas I listened to Dr. Priest at the dinner at Denver,which I was privileged to attend, "How Iwish we could have the message he brought inevery chapter of 2 X in America," because ofthe important message in it.These have been my privileges in my associationsthrough the years, in my friendships in$ A 0. There are many others that I wouldgladly name.Speaking for the MiamiTriad, if one mightassume at all to do that,I think more often thannot when that has beenundertaken, when we havesought to say somethingin that relation. It hasbeen to emphasize thosethings which we have incommon, the commonheritage which we have,the memory and traditionfrom that wonderful campusat Oxford, Ohio, thespirit of the pioneer thathas been common toB 0 n, * A 0, and ^ X,. the youngest of the group,the spirit of these organizationsby which they havecovered the educationalfield of the country, bywhich our larger membershipsare enriched by thefellowship of so manycollege men, by which wehave gone back even to that older center of theold Union Triad, whose expansion has not beenlarge. And there is that spirit of the pioneer inall the members of the Miami Triad by virtueof which, in a sense, we are meeting in theseColorado mountains here on this August day.There is the common element of high aims expressedin the symbolism, of course, of every oneof the three. There is the foundation purpose forthe building of character and of manhood. And

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor November, 1932 27those things have been the emphasis of message, to forget that there is a responsibility from theI think, more often than, as I can recall, our re- homes from which our boys are coming, to the colunionsof the three of us.lege itself of which we are students, to the frater-* * * * * * nity at large, to the whole associated Greek-letterworld, for the honor of the whole circle ofIt seems to me that if I may be privileged, it Greek-letter life is in the hands of every chapmightbe just somewhat useful if I would take a ter of # A 0, ^ X, and B @ 11.

We have, in thenecessity of the case, withthree-fourths of a centuryback of us, perhaps,or more than that, andwith the program whichhas become complicatedand vast, an emphasisupon the organization Itself.The one thing that Ihope I may acceptablyexpress for all of us todayis that I think thatthe members of the MiamiTriad are first of allan organization, but weare least of all an organization. We are, over andabove the matter of organization, so many otherand more vital things, that we shall fail of fundamentalsin our day unless we shall always realizethat the organization as such is just a means toan end, and that end is just those larger things.I mean by that that besides being an organizationwe are, for instance, a friendship.I think we can carry on for organization withentire forgetfulness of the fact that the thingswhich are coming to us through the organization,houses and publications and improvements andmodernizations, of which we may well be proud,come to most of us in the first instance in chapterlife on a gold plate. Everything has come to us,because the time has not come to us to pay theobligations. So it Is easy to have received so muchJoseph C. Nate is Grand Historian and GrandTribune of Sigma ChiThen I would like togo on, if time permitted,to say that over andabove all these things weare an Ideal. I looked atyour beautiful badge asit is in the dining roomagain today. I have alwaysthought of it as abeautiful badge. We X Xsare given to talk a gooddeal about the beauty ofour badge. In frankness,I think of the badge of$ A 0 as sharing inbeauty with the badge ofX X, as among the mostbeautiful emblems in collegefraternities. I beganto think about it when Iwas sixteen or seventeenyears of age, while apreparatory student. Someof those things whichMr. Palmer has suggestedto us in thosewonderful meanings inthe Bond which you hold sacred, in that wonderfulvolume, a copy of which he sent me years ago,are the high things that I know are in the skiesfor you, as they are for all of us.If there is any word I would have wished tobring to your convention, desiring most of all tobe helpful In any proportion or degree that Imight, it would be that you shall have a wonderfulconvention in the relations of your work asan organization. This Is the important time forthat. But along with that, that you shall go outfrom the glory of this mountain country, imbuedwith those things which are above organizationand for which the organizations exist, mainly thedeeper things of friendship, of responsibility, ofscholarship and the ideals that you hold dear. Ithank you.

The second reason isto reward in some small measure thosebrothers who have shown this interest toa marked degree." Thus read the openinglines of the announcement of the ArizonaAlumni Award to Arizona Alpha of * A 0.This award was made two years ago, andhas proven so successful that it is desiredto call the attention of the Fraternity ingeneral to the tradition.In the spring of 1930, alumni in Arizonapresented to the active chapter at theUniversity of Arizona a beautiful lovingcup. In making the gift, it was set forththat it was to remain as a permanent possessionof the active chapter, and each yearthe name of that brother, who during hisentire college career had shown the mostloyal interest to his university and Fraternityshould be engraved thereon.It was further decided that the nameadded to the trophy each year had to bethat of a departing senior. This clause wasadded since it was felt that a senior is theonly man in a chapter whose loyalty andinterest has stood the test of time.Hence, each spring, shortly before thechapter holds its annual senior banquet, acommittee of alumni conduct the electionfor the award. The voting is done by theactive chapter. No nominations are made.The alumni simply ask each member ofthe chapter to turn in the name of thebrother who in his opinion deserves theaward for the closing school year. Thealumni committee then tabulates the votes,has the brother's name engraved on thetrophy, and announces the winner at theannual senior banquet, held each year justprior to graduation.In making this gift, the alumni did notlay down a set of hard and fast rules tobe followed by the active brothers in decidingthe winner. The announcement ofthe award, which is read each year beforethe election, simply made suggestions, toserve as guides for each member to considerin casting his ballot. Suggested requirementsfor the award are scholarship,activities, personality, leadership, character,loyalty, and last but not least, example.The announcement points out that perhapsnowhere is the influence of examplestronger than in a fraternity house.The names of three brothers have beenplaced on the trophy thus far. It wasawarded the first year to Emery Johnson,'30. The second year the name of EarlBennett, '31, was added, while that ofWatson Fritz, '32, was added last spring.Arizona alumni feel that they havestarted a truly worth while tradition. It ishoped that in future years, in additioh tohaving his name engraved on the largetrophy, each year's winner will be presentedwith a smaller trophy, together with a certificatefor his own possession.

36 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor November, 1932Will Rogers Says Roy ChapinGot Job in Time for Salary CutBEVERLY HILLS, CALIF., Aug. 4.—Oneof the very able men of the automobileindustry goes into the Cabinet, Roy Chapin.He arrived on his new job just intime to get his salary cut 15 per cent.You can get some awful good men nowto work for mighty little money.Yours,WILL ROGERS.head the great governmental departmentwhich he himself did so much to elevateto importance during eight years as its head.The new chief goes to Washington andto the task of helping rejuvenate Americanbusiness and trade from the chairmanshipof the board of the Hudson Motor CarCompany in Detroit, one of the foremostpositions in the entire automotive industry.President Hoover announced the newappointment on August 3. Secretary Lamont,it was announced a few days thereafter,had been chosen head of the AmericanIron and Steel Institute.Roy D. Chapin is a business man whohas been undaunted by trade barriers andthe thick coats of gloom which have envelopedthe business world. He has persistentlyregarded the effort to pull Americaout of the industrial doldrums from astandpoint of optimism and has taken alead in emphasizing constructive worktoward the revivification of industry andcommerce.The department which Secretary Chapinheads in Washington is the next to theyoungest of the great governmental administrativedivisions. It was originated asa component of the Department of Commerceand Labor in 1903. In 1913 aseparate Department of Labor was created.Importance of the department is not tobe measured by its years, however. Tradeand industry have grown so rapidly in recentdecades and the relation of governmentto them has in many ways become sointimate that the Department of Commercehas become one of major importancein the governmental mechanism. By thistime the Department has 15,000 employees,half of them in Washington, halfin the "field," which means the by-waysas well as the highways of well known orscarcely ever heard of countries which buyAmerican products just the same.The Department now occupies one'•ofthe most beautiful, largest, and most expensivebuildings in the national capital.Built at a cost of $17,000,000, the structureis six stories in height, many hundredsof feet long, and is one of the largestgovernmental office buildings in the world.While other pioneers in the automobileindustry devoted much attention to massPlant of the Hudson Motor Company, Detroit, of Which Chapin Was the Head until HeResigned to Become Secretary of Commerce

Secretary Chapin always hasemphasized the necessity of mass distribution,with full use of the nation's buyingpower. The energy and genius he is bringingto his new post have had full testingin his long and successful business careeras one of the first experimenters and executivesin the automobile field.This career, it may safely be said, datesback to the time when Secretary Chapinwas some nine or ten years old. Not thathe started making or selling cars at thattender age. But it was then, during hisboyhood days in Lansing, Michigan, thatR. E. Olds was driving his experimentalautomobile about the streets of Lansing.Self-propelled transportation fascinatedthe young boy. This fascination was fannedinto heat when he visited friends at theDetroit plant of the Olds Company andwas driven about the city—once reachingthe terrific speed of i8 miles per hour.The potential Cabinet member ultimatelypersuaded Mr. Olds to hire him as ademonstrator, although he admitted manyyears later that neither he nor Mr. Oldswas clear as to what a demonstrator was.Chapin on Depression"There can be little dispute that todaythere is a general feeling of optimism inthe air. It appears that the depression hasrurf its course and the upturn has come.There is no doubt that the United Stateshas a large volume of buying power lyingunused, held back by public caution. Buyershave been afraid to spend their money.The job is to unleash the buying power."—^RoY D. CHAPIN, Secretary of Comffierce.

38 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor November, 1932After graduation from high school heattended the University of Michigan wherehe stood fairly high in his classes, was activein extra-curricular interests, and wasinitiated by Michigan Alpha. He gave upuniversity life at the age of 21, though,and entered actively—at $35 a month—on his ultimate career in the capacity of"demonstrator" at the Olds plant. In additionhe was factory photographer, beingthen—and now—one of the best amateurphotographers to be found. Since that timehis life has been wrapped up in automobiles."Wrapped up" might at times havebeen interpreted almost literally. As, forinstance, in the year 1901 when he wasselected to drive to New York from Detroitthe Olds car which was to be exhibitedin the auto show. Not only was itthe first automobile trip ever made betweenthe two cities, but it lasted more than aweek and the driver was compelled practicallyto rebuild the car on the way, drawingupon a huge box of spare parts carriedfor the purpose.After three years both as head of therepair department and traveling repair manhe became sales manager. The experiencedexecutive was then 24 years old and theOlds Motor Works was the world's largestautomobile plant.Two years later Secretary Chapin, eagerto build up his own organization, resignedand shortly later entered into the establishmentof the E. R. Thomas-DetroitCompany. This new company, of whichBrother Chapin was general manager, builtcars selling at $2,750 and with over 500in the first year had a better sales recordthan any competitor had yet established.Among the associates of the youngChapin in those early days were men whomade automobile history. They includedRansom E. Olds, Howard E. Coffin, SidneyD. Waldon, J. L. Hudson, Edwin R.Thomas, Hugh Chalmers, and others. In1908 Chapin became general manager andtreasurer of the newly organized Chalmers-DetroitMotor Car Company.Another step up came at the age of 30when the young executive became presidentof the recently organized HudsonMotor Car Company.

Phis Furnish LeadershipTom Connally, Governor Ely, andJouett Shouse Were in the LimelightBy RUSSELL H. FITZGIBBON, Hanover, '24DEMOCRATIC national conventions canusually be relied on to furnish moreof a pyrotechnic display than thequadrennial gatherings of their friendlyenemies, the Republicans.We don't exactly know the reason. Perhapsit is because the Democrats take theirpolitics more seriously. Perhaps their appetitesare whetted as they taste victory lessoften than their opponents. Perhaps it is becausethey—tenaciously, whether wisely ornot—adhere to the century-old rule of requiringa two-thirds vote for presidentialnomination.The Democratic convention of last Junewas no exception to. the rule of exdtementand fireworks. Even if it did not furnishthe tense drama of its predecessor of 1924it was packed with Big Moments. Its leaderssensed victory in the air and Democracy'shosts were open in their jubilation.Three of those leaders were members of$ A 0. This unusual spectacle has neverbefore been matched by our own Fraternityand perhaps not by any other. The three inquestion were Jouett Shouse, Missouri, '99,Tom Connally, Texas, '00, and Joseph B.Ely, Williams, '02.Shouse had been prominent in the preconventionpicture as the militant chairmanof the executive committee of the DemocraticNational Committee. As such he hadGovernor Joseph B. Ely, Williams, '02, on the Speakers' Stand, Nominating Al Smith for the Presidency[42]

Raskob, chairman of the DemocraticNational Committee, to get Shouseto take the place as the party's executivechairman, and that when he did take ithe promised to make it a 24-hour-a-dayjob. Results attest the fact that he did.In the convention, early fireworks flewaround the election of the permanent chairmanof the gathering. Shouse was backedby the Raskob-Smith element in the partywhile the Roosevelt forces threw theirstrength behind Senator Walsh of Montana.Shouse was defeated for this positionbut only after a hard struggle which forec.istthe ultimate triumph of the Rooseveltdelegates in their effort to win the covetednomination for their indomitable leader.In the general party reorganization followingthe convention Shouse resigned hispost as chairman of the executive committeeand somewhat later was named as activehead of the Association Against theProhibition Amendment. It is anticipatedthat he will throw all his great energy andability into this new fight which he hasespoused."Cactus Jack" Garner, the more-thanfavorite-sonof the South, was one of themore formidable contenders in the preconventionmaneuvering for delegates.

Governor Ely swept the conventionfrom its feet with the fire and eloquence ofhis plea for the nomination of Smith. Hiscry, "Give us a man who dares: Al Smith,"was the climax of a speech which from thestandpoint of sheer oratory was the highlightof the entire convention.Governor Ely later announced he wouldsupport the choice of the party.

SMITH, Knox, '25SIX MEMBERS of our great Fraternity have come to the writer'sattention during the baseball season. Five are performing in theAmerican League and one in the National League.First of all, Henry Louis (Lou) Gehrig, Colum-hia, '25, must beconsidered since he and "Babe" Ruth are leading the New YorkYankees in the World's Series this year. Gehrig is again a leadinghitter with a .345 average and holds the records for having hit threehome runs in one game and also for driving in eight runs in onegame. The season just past also established Gehrig as the all-timerecord holder for consecutive games played. He is the Yankees' firstbaseman.Harold (Muddy) Ruel, Washington (St. Louis), '21, is the Phiwho has been in the major leagues the longest time. He began asa catcher for Washington's Senators and starred in the World'sSeries against the Pittsburg Pirates in 1925. Now he is one of thecatchers on the Detroit Tigers and still is a peppy receiver whosedeadly aim prevents base thefts.Carl Reynolds, Southwestern, '26, who was traded at theend of last season to the Washington Senators and tied "Babe"Ruth for batting honors in 1930, is starring with the Senatorsthis year despite injuries. His average this year is .307 andhis base running, outfielding, and hitting were largely responsiblefor the Senators' extended winning streak.Charles ("Chuck") Berry, Lafayette, '25, who was tradedthis year by the Boston Red Sox to the Chicago White Sox iscatching regularly for the latter team and is hitting for an averageof .251. He will be remembered as the former AU-American footballend at Lafayette.Wesley Schulmerich, Oregon State, '27,Harold Riielis enjoying his third year as outfielder forWashington, '21,Detroit Tigersthe Boston Braves.

He is hitting .265 and specializesin extra base hits, being a large fellow weighing more than200 pounds.The new rookie Phi of the current season is Elias Funk,outfielder with the Chicagto White Sox. He hits .256 andattracted the attention of "Babe" Ruth to such an extentthat he called him one of the most promising rookie outfieldersof the season. Funk's speed enables him to cover agreat deal of territory in center field. He was initiated at theUniversity of Oklahoma.Another Phi rookie who is slated for service in the N,ationalLeague next year is Eddie Baker, Pittsburgh, '30. Hehas been signed for a trial by the Chicago Cubs, this year'sNational League champions. Brother Baker made a greatrecord in both football and basketball while at Pittsburghand his natural athletic ability should carry him a long wayin his attempt to land a big league berth.GEHRIG "BIG SHOT" OF WORLD SERIESSINCE the above article was writtenLou Gehrig has more than lived up toadvance promises and slugged his way toleadership inthe recent WorldSeries which ended in fourstraight victories for the New YorkYankees, the American League champions.In the rout of the Cubs Brother Gehrig made thegreatest number of hits of any player, he hit for the greatestnumber of bases and he drove in the most runs. Thechmax of the series was reached in the third game atChicago, where before a hostile crowd Gehrig matchedBabe Ruth's performance of hitting two home runs andsettling the game beyond any doubt.Then in the fourth and deciding game at Chicago, afterhaving been robbed of an extra base hit by a fine catchby Outfielder Demaree of the Cubs in the first inning, hehit a vicious single in the seventh inning to break a tie andput the game and the series on ice for the Yanks.Elias FunkOklahoma.

As team captain of theYanks he led them with rare judgmentwhile in the field so that his club played ingreat contrast to the demoralized efforts ofits opponents.On the Fleishman Yeast hour October 6,Rudy Vallee, as master of ceremonies introducedLou Gehrig as one of the featuresof the program.

The first year of theHudson Company was inaugurated with aproduction of more than 4000 cars, a .record for that day. A new record wasestablished with the production in 1916 ofthe famous Super-Six—more than 26,000units were sold, making Hudson theworld's largest producer of fine cars.The new Secretary is probably the nation'sforemost good roads advocate. Hehas seen very clearly that unimpeded commerceand adequate traffic arteries wenthand in hand and has consequently givenmuch time and effort to the developmentof the latter. He also is an aviation enthusiastand has a dozen other things tooccupy spare moments. To illustrate thediversity of his interests, he has at varioustimes served as a director of the DetroitCommunity Union, the city Symphony Society,and the University of MichiganUnion. He was one of the first proponentsof the Federal Highway Act.He was in 1927 president of the NationalAutomobile Chamber of Commerceafter serving several years in the vice-presidency.He has been vice-president of theLincoln Highway Association, a memberof the Pan-American Conference of HighwayEducation, etc., etc. Public service hasthus attracted much of his time. A dramatictestimony to that effect is to be seen inthe check for one dollar framed and hangingon the wall of his Detroit office. It wasfor his services as head of the highwaystransport committee of the Council of NationalDefense from November 9, 1917,to November 8, 1918.He was one of the government's dollara-yearmen—and he didn't even cash hispay check!Secretary Chapin was married in 1914to Miss Inez TMeman of Savannah, Georgia.They have six children.Eugene Field Memorial Dedicated[^Continued from fage i6jas old as I act.

Dr. Harold G.Moulton, president of the Brookings Institution,in announcing Dr. Hall's appointmentto the new position, emphasizedthe peculiar qualifications of the new director,trained in government, law, and education,for carrying out and expanding theprogram of practical assistance to state governmentsbeing undertaken by the Institute.The new director comes of an old PhiDelt family, his father, Columbus H.

Thebeautiful Register-Tribune building was,when built, the tallest structure in the stateof Iowa, although later buildings have exceededit in height. The two papers havethe largest circulation in Iowa and onlynine cities in the entire United States havea daily newspaper with a circulation as largeas that of the Register and Tribune.A unique record, indicative of the papers'place as leaders in the agricultural MiddleWest is seen in the fact that the combinedcirculation among farm subscribers is greaterthan that of any other daily newspaper inAmerica. The mail circulation is the largestof any standard daily newspaper in theworld. Another superlative is necessary todescribe the carrier salesmen's organization—also the largest in the world. This grouphas 4032 members, quite a bunch of newsboyswhen one stops to think of it!One of the most unique features aboutthe two Cowles-owned papers is their useof airplanes for the past four years for thegathering of news and pictures. At the presenttime they own and operate an autogyro,the "Good News III." The Register andTribune are the only papers west of theMississippi River, and with one exception,the only papers in America, using a plane ofthis type. Needless to say, it is an excellentadvertising feature for the papers.Director Cowles goes to the ReconstructionFinance Corporation well acquaintedwith banking problems. Until two years agohe had served for many years as a directorof the lowa-Des Moines National Bank andTrust Company and of the NorthwestBank corporation.

To members of * A 0 the Utahelection is of special concern because SenatorSmoot's Democratic opponent is noneother than the best beloved of Utah Phis,Dr. Elbert D. Thomas, Utah, '05.Dr. Thomas was a charter member ofAmici Fidissimi, the local group organizedat the University of Utah in 1904, whichlater became Utah Alpha chapter of * A 0.He was already a member of the Utahfaculty when the chapter was installed, andwith such interruptions as have been occasionedby travel and study, has continuedin that capacity ever since. He receivedhis Bachelor of Arts degree at Utahin 1906, following which he spent six yearsin Europe and the Orient. His Ph.D. degreewas taken some years later at the Universityof California.The career of Dr. Thomas, in the opinionof Utah Democrats, has in the highestdegree qualified him to serve his state in[59 ]the Senate, for his studies and extensivetravels have been devoted almost exclusivelyto research work in international history,religion, and politics. He has contributednumerous articles to outstanding magazineson these and allied subjects, and is the authorof several books; among them beingSukui No Michi, written in Japanese, andChinese Political Thought, which is an internationallyrecognized treatise on a subjectof tremendous current importance.

®(t>mkEDITORIALS «^(c? sTHE Estes ParkConvention convention is now apart of the historyof the Fraternity. It will undoubtedlybe recorded in that history as one ofthe most notable conventions we haveever held, both from the standpointof business transacted and from thatof entertainment. Phis of Denver andother Colorado cities amply provedtheir claim that the state is indeed"Colorful Colorado."The Fraternity owes a debt of gratitudeto Ed Williams, Dan Millett,and the many other Colorado Phiswho labored so long to make the conventionthe great success that it was.One story was told that Brother Williamsmore than a year ago went toother Denver Phis with a minor detailto be decided regarding some featureof convention entertainment. Theylaughed and told him that the conventionwas yet more than a year inthe future. But to Ed it was somethingto be thought over and planned for inall the meticulous detail a successfulconvention requires.Conventions are much more thanfour days for the transaction of business.They offer opportunities for theMillard Troxells and the Milo Summersto come together for the firsttime in over half a century; they giveundergraduates from a hundred chaptersa chance to see how the Fraternityhas grown great and strongthrough the service and devotion ofthe Hilton Browns and the CarterHelm Joneses. They give Phis fromchapters in forty states and half adozen provinces an opportunity to seethat no one state, nor section—no, nor[6,]nation—is alone in producing the qualitiesthat Fathers Morrison and Wilsonand their confreres sought in invitingMiami students to sign theBond.And, on the lighter side—it occasionallygives one a chance to go snowballingon the thirtieth of August!Who will not cherish memories ofEstes Park and "Colorful Colorado!"The Spiritof the GamesIT HAPPENED atthe Games of theXth Olympiad heldin Los Angeles recently.The race was the 5000-meter,a gruelling grind at best. There werea number of stalwart entries from theseveral nations. Most spectators hadtheir eyes on the Finns, because oftheir reputation as distance runners,and naturally an American crowdwould also take note of their own entry.But as the race moved on anotherentry from still a different foreignland caught the eyes of many spectators.He was conspicuous by the everincreasing distance he lagged behind.He was a little Japanese boy, smallof stature as are most of his brethren.The farther along the race progressed,the farther behind the little Orientallagged. After several laps it began tolook as if it would be impossible forhim to finish. He seemed to sway fromside to side. Many people remarkedthat he should be taken out before hecollapsed. But just as it would seemas if he would topple and fall, hewould put on a little sprint, then dropfarther back.And as the mass of competitors

62 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor November, 1932breasted the tape at the finish line, thelittle Japanese competitor was stillrunning. He was almost in the thickof the group as they finished, only hewas more than one full lap behind therest. The crowd seemed to feel thathe would drop out and not continueon to finish, being so hopelessly outclassed.But this boy wouldn't drop out. Instead,he plugged around that last lapalone, finally to finish the completedistance, exhausted and worn out. Hedropped over on the grass, and layhelpless, until two fellow athletescame along and carried him off.The large crowd was appreciativeof his accomplishment, and from thevery moment he started that final lapalone, they thundered an applause forhim that would have thrilled even themost unemotional, unexcitable soul.That little Japanese boy had givensome sixty or seventy thousand peoplea lesson which could well be patternedafter. He had done exactly what thewinners of that race had done. TheFinn who finished first in that race,and the American who finished second,had done the very best theycould. And so had the little Japaneseboy who finished last. He had carriedthe colors of his native land, proudly,and with honor. He was glorious indefeat. It takes a great boy to be that.And when the announcer proclaimed"Ceremonie Olympique Protoclaire—OlympicVictory Ceremony,"followed by the proclaimingof the victors, it is a safe venture thatnone of the winners was any happierthan that little Oriental, who hadgiven all he had, who had performedthe very best that his midget physiquewould enable him to. His happinesscame from the satisfaction of havinggiven his best. The little Jap hadcaught the Spirit of the Games."The Main Issue in life is not thevictory but the fight; the essential isnot to have won but to have foughtwell. To spread these precepts is topave the way for a more valiant humanity,stronger and consequentlymore scrupulous and more generous."Doesn't this furnish a moral forchapter activities as well.?L.V.S.WITH thisissue"The Scroll" and volume THESCROLL takes on anew dress which, if wearing apparelhave a voice, we shall allow to speakfor itself. The format and frequencycharacteristic of Volume LVI (1931-32) had been effective since the fallof 1923. There will be certain disadvantagesin the change from eightissues a year to five, but we feel thatthe advantages will more than compensate.FRATERNITY mem-Louise Brown bers were shocked toRidgway learn of the deathof Louise Brown Ridgway,wife of Leland H.

The SCROLL o/Phi Delta ThetaDecember1932Volume 57No. 2We Can^t Complain About ElectionThree Governors, Five Senators NowGrace Our Roll of Contemporary StatesmenWHY?Because Joseph B. Ely, Williams, 'o2,was re-elected governor of Massachusettson the Democratic ticket, sweeping to victoryin what was admittedly one of themost doubtful states of the entire 48.Because Hill McAllister, Vanderbilt, '97,was elected governor of Tennessee undercircumstances which made that state, too,a highly doubtful one in so far as its gubernatorialcampaign was concerned.Because Elbert D. Thomas, Utah, '05,has been sent by his state to represent it inthe United States Senate, his election mark-.ing the third of a series of doubtful contests.Because H. Guy Kump, Virginia, '05,has been elevated to the gubernatorial chairin West Virginia, defeating by 60,000votes his Republican opponent, although hehimself was regarded as a "newcomer" instate politics. *Because Duncan U. Fletcher, Vanderbilt,'87, was reelected United States Senatorfrom Florida which he has representedin the upper house of congress since 1909.He is one of the oUest senators in point ofservice and will therefore be one of theleaders in the new administration.Because Elmer Thomas, DePauw, '00,was returned to the United States Senateby the state of Oklahoma. He has servedin the senate since 1927 and was a memberof the House of Representatives from 1923-Because scores of other Phis all overthese broad United States have been chosento other offices of trust and responsibility.The accession of a fourth Phi to occupancyof a governor's mansion was precludedonly by the tragic death, October 12 ofFrancis M. Wilson, Centre, '87, whom theDemocracy of Missouri had chosen as itscandidate.Three governors out of the 48! Five senatorsout of the 95 men who occupy suchoffices! Or one governor out of 16 and onesenator out of 19.This is the first time in the history of* A 0 when five Phis will at one time havebeen members of the United States Senate.The two holdovers are Tom Connally,Texas, '00, who has represented Texassince 1929, and Arthur R. Robinson, CKicago,'13, who has been junior senatorfrom Indiana since 1926. So far as weknow it is a record which has never beenequalled by another fraternity.No, we can't complain about the election.[83]

He won the regularDemocratic nomination in the August primaryand was elected to the highest office[85]in the state on November 8 by a pluralityof over fifty thousand votes.Brother McAllister was born in Nashvilleon July 15, 1875,ofa family that had hvedin Tennessee since Pioneer Days. Two ofhis direct ancestors were governors and hisfather was a member of the Supreme Courtof the State. He was educated in the publicschools of Nashville and at Vanderbilt University,where he received the degree ofLL.B. in 1897. He has since practiced lawin Nashville.He has always taken a very active interestin political matters. Soon after his graduationhe became Assistant City Attorney andlater served four years as City Attorney.

ALTHOUGH the October issue of THE/ \ SCROLL chronicled the fact that threemembers of the Fraternity had takena prominent part in the Democratic NationalConvention last summer, and the furtherfact that the then nominee for governoron the Democratic ticket in Missouri was awearer of the Sword and Shield, and thestill further fact that Utah had nominateda Phi Democrat to oppose the veteran SenatorReed Smoot in the November election, itis not consequently to be interpreted that allDemocrats are members of * A 0. Or, even,conversely, that all members of * A 0 areDemocrats.Nor is the Republican party without leadersdrawn from the ranks 'of our Fraternity.Three of the chief of these are members ofthe Republican National Committee, thegreat inter-convention governing board ofthe party. They are Rentfro B. Creager,Southwestern, '

UnderPresidents Roosevelt and Taft he had servedas collector of customs for the Brazos deSantiago district. For almost a third of acentury he has engaged in the practice oflaw at Brownsville and he is also presidentof the First National Bank of that city.James E. Davidson, Committeeman fromMichigan, is well known to Phi Delt convention-goersand many others as the loyalhead of the Palmer Endowment campaign.James E. Davidson, Hillsdale, '87, RepublicanNational Committeeman from MichiganFor many years the Fraternity has beenamong the greatest of his loyalties. He isthe only one of the trio of National Committeemembers who is not an attorney, his chiefinterests being ship building and banking.For 29 years Brother Davidson has beena member of the State Central Committeein Michigan and he has also held numerousother posts of importance in the organizationof the party in that state. He has beena member of the National Committee for anumber of years.The activities of Committeeman Davidsonare legion. His offices or directorshipsin industrial, commercial, and financial corporationscould not be counted on all one'sfingers and toes. Chief among these are theAmerican Ship Building Company and numerousother similar organizations at Duluth,Detroit, and Cleveland, the Pere MarquetteRailway Company, the First NationalBank of Detroit, and his own company, theJames E. and Edward C. Davidson Company.Brother Davidson was appointed in 1924a member of the St. Lawrence WaterwayCommission by President Coolidge. He is aThirty-third Degree Mason and has heldmany offices in that fraternity.Oliver D. Street, Alabama, '87, is thethird of the group of Phi Delt Committee-[87]

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor December, 1932men. He is an attorney at Guntersville, Alabama,where he has lived and practiced lawfor many years. He was admitted to the barin 1888 and has been active in politics forover 40 years. The Seventh Alabama CongressionalDistrict chose him as its Republicannominee for Congress in 1898, 1902,and 1918. He declined the Republicannomination for governor of his native statein 1914 but made the race in 1922.Three times, in 1912, 1916, and 1920,he has been a delegate to the Republicannational conventions. For the past 16 yearshe has represented Alabama on his party'sNational Committee. Brother Street wasfrom May, 1907, to February, 1914, theUnited States district attorney for the northerndistrict of Alabama and at the presenttime he is a special assistant to the UnitedStates Attorney General.Other interests of Brother Street includehis trusteeship of the department of archivesand history of Alabama, his secretary-treasurershipof the Tennessee Valley HistoricalSociety, and long and distinguished servicein the Masonic fraternity, culminating inhis tenure from 1925 to 1927 in the officeof Grand Master of the Grand Lodge ofAlabama. He is also the author of a volumeon Masonic symbolism.The Fraternity may be justly proud ofthese three members of the Republican NationalCommittee, men who have contributednot only to the welfare of their partybut in many other ways in their communities,states, and the nation.McAllister, New Tennessee Governor\Continued from fage 8s\Assemblies. From 1918 to 1920 he was Chairman ofthe State Democratic Executive Committee. He servedas State Treasurer for a number of terms until he resignedin consequence of an earlier race for Governor.He was re-elected to this office which he now holdsin 1931.Though nominally the result of the August andNovember elections of this year, Brother McAllister'svictory is really the climax of a long and desperatefight which began in 1926. To make this clear it willbe necessary to go a little into an explanation of thepolitical conditions in Tennessee. Ours is usually aDemocratic State, a part of the Democratic SolidSouth, but is not as solid as some of our sister statesbelow us. Though Tennessee seceded during the CivilWar, East Tennessee and spots of West Tennessee wereUnionists then and are Republican now. The Republicansare just strong enough to win occasionallyin a national land-slide, or when the people of thestate can find no other way of getting rid of a Democraticfaction they have grown tired of. The twoparty system will not down even in a one party state.The Democratic party is always divided into two factionswhich fight each other bitterly. Usually the Primaryis the only real election, this year, however, provingan exception.After the World War, Tennessee, like many ofher sister states, began to spend money in the nameof progress in amounts unparalleled before. Whilehighly approving of good roads and schools, BrotherMcAllister saw dangers in the way the state's debtwas piling up and also in the almost autocratic powerswhich had been given the Chief Executive in a reorganizationof the state government. He foughtagainst these tendencies when he ran for governor unsuccessfullyin 1926 and 1928. Any faction in powernow is much harder to dislodge than formerly, whethergoverning wisely or ill, because of the vast amountof money it has to spend, as in the Highway Departmentfor instance, and of the great number of stateemployees. Brother McAllister fought on courageously,each time accepting without complaint the verdict ofthe polls. The dangers he had warned against becamereal with the great crash in Tennessee In the fall of1930. His views have also been vindicated by his reelectionas State Treasurer and by his present triumph.It is interesting to note that one of his opponentsin the August primary. Ex-governor Patterson, wasalso a Phi from Tennessee Alpha. His other opponent,Mr. Pope, ran again in the general election, makingit a three cornered race which was much hotter thanusual.The next governor of Tennessee faces great problems,but those who know htm best are sure thatBrother McAllister will prove triumphant over them.

By far the most outstandingnational fraternity not then represented atMassachusetts Institute of Technology was* A ®. Accordingly, * A pledged itself todirect its efforts toward the attainment of* A 0 standards.On the suggestion of Professor Doten,professor of economics at the Institute, whohas on numerous occasions lent very ableassistance to the project, the Montreal convention,in 1926, was visited unofficially byBrothers Gerst and Webster for the purposeof observing convention procedure andthe path to be followed in presenting a petition.Then, in 1928, * A, having receivedthe endorsement of Alpha Province, presentedits first formal petition to * A 0 atNashville, with Brothers MacLaren andParsons as delegates. The Nashville gatheringanswered * A's petition with a vote ofconfidence and a recommendation to continueits eflForts. The spring of 1930 foundthe chapter preferring to devote two moreyears to improving its 1928 standing beforeagain appearing before the national body,and, accordingly, the petition was voluntarilywithheld from the Detroit convention.Work started on the most recent and successfuleffort early in 1931 under the abledirection of Brother Thayer, as chairman ofthe national committee. To the conventionof Alpha Province at Dartmouth, in October,1931, went four men. Brothers Thayer,Kingsland, Farr, and Murdoch, bearing* A's petition to that body, and aunanimous vote of approval was accordedthe chapter.

Thesemen, both as individuals and as an organization,took an active interest in the petitionfrom the start, and, later in the year, recordedofficially an unanimous vote of endorsement.Finally, in the spring of 1932, the petitionbooklet was printed in its final form,and plans for the exhibit and other details

DOTEN, Vermont, '95THE Massachusetts Institute of Technologyhas been engaged for nearly 70 years intraining students for leadership in the fieldsof science, engineering, architecture, economics,and business administration. Itsfounder and first president, William BartonRogers, early recognized the great gap existingin the educational systems of theworld, and saw the opportunity for an institutiondevoted to the extension of inventionand industry by means of exact scientificknowledge and research instead ofunskilled observation.To that ideal the Institute has ever sinceconformed. From a local school of 15 earneststudents, established in Boston, the Institutehas grown to a complex organizationwith a teaching staff of 400 and an enrollmentof nearly 3000 students. Through theyears the Institute has enriched the world'sstore of scientific knowledge and promotedindustrial development through research.The Institute's commanding site on thebanks of the Charles River occupies an areaof 80 acres, on which are located the massivegroup of educational buildings withtheir large and well- equipped laboratories,the dormitories, athletic fields, and WalkerMemorial, the center of student activitiesand recreation.In addition to the courses in civil, mechanical,electrical, mining, and chemicalengineering which are usually given in engineeringschools, the Institute of Technologyin recent years has set up a number ofnew courses, some of which, like architecturalengineering and construction engineering,are offshoots of the older courses inarchitecture and civil engineering.Beginning with Course I, civil engineering,the curriculum now includes more thantwenty courses, departments, or divisions.Among the more recent additions to thisprogram are business and engineering administration,aeronautical engineering, andmilitary engineering.From the beginning courses in pure science,like chemistry and physics, and researchwork in many lines have had theirappropriate place, and an increasing emphasishas been placed on graduate work inthese fields, as well as in engineering andother applied sciences. Although in a recentyear 31 doctor's degrees and 189 master'sdegrees were conferred, there were 456bachelor's degrees given, which indicatesthat the Institute of Technology is still fundamentallyan undergraduate institution.The pioneer in aeronautical engineeringeducation, the Institute built in 1909 whatis believed to have been the first wind tunnelfor aeronautical research in the UnitedStates. The new Daniel Guggenheim AeronauticalLaboratory now hcaises two greatwind tunnels which have formed the nucleusof important research in the scienceof aeronautics.From the department of mechanical engineeringhave come through the yearsgraduates whose names are internationallyknown in this field. In mining and metallurgicalengineering technology is knownthe world over for the excellence of its

Technology alsomaintains its own fully equipped civil andmining engineering camps, where field workis carried on during the summer.Industry's growing demand for new alloyshas considerably augmented the importanceof mining and metallurgical study.The Institute not only trains men for thisprofession, but is carrying on significant researchin the subject.The department of naval architecture offersa course not only in the actual operationof ships at sea, but in efficient businessmethods at the "shore end" of shipping administration,a combination of trainingwhich has aroused the favorable comment ofleading American shippers.In addition to the regular course in electricalengineering, that department offersfive year co-operative courses uniting theorywith experience in various leading industrialplants, and electrical and transportation systems.In recognition of the growing demandfor technically trained men in the field ofbusiness management, business training withan engineering background is given in a de-

Besides its coursesand research, the latter maintains field stationsat typical leading industrial plants inseveral cities, where students have an opportunityto apply their theoretical knowledgeto the actual problems of industrial processes.The generosity of Colonel E. H. R.Green has made possible the development ofa radio and meteorological research stationat Round Hill, South Dartmouth, Massachusetts,where are located field laboratoriesfor the study of problems in communication,the behavior of radio waves undervarying atmospheric conditions, and the applicationof modern methods of communicationto aerial navigation.There is at Technology a definite recognitionof the cultural influence of scientifictraining, and it endeavors to fit men notonly for professional responsibility but alsofor participation in the broader activities ofcommunity life.Students at the Institute are encouragedto take part in the various undergraduateactivities which are the source of muchpleasure and valuable experience in collegelife. They have the opportunity to engagein sports, publications, and drama, as wellas various branches of the musical clubs. Almostevery type of fraternity is representedamong the 29 which own houses at Technology.They provide one of the pleasantestand most stimulating influences of studentlife at the Institute.

Amherst Chapter Sets a RecordQ Entire Senior Delegation Graduated With Honors QARECORD of honors that probably hasnever been equalled in our own orany other fraternity was establishedlast year by Massachusetts Beta at AmherstCollege in the graduation of the entire seniordelegation of seven men with scholastichonors!Charles F. Bragg, II, a junior * B K,was graduated summa cum laude with thehighest average in the class. He receivedthe highest honors in his major, history, andalso won the Bond Prize for thebest commencement address. Besidesthis he was prominent in extra-curricularactivities, beingmanager of freshman football anda member of the Cotillion Club,an honorary social organization.Arthur F. Tripp, also electedto * K B in his junior year, wasgraduated magna cum laude; healso received high honors in hismajor, history. Brother Tripp,too, was a member of the Cotillion Club.The third of a trio of members electedto * B K during their junior year was JeremiahIngersoU, who was unable to returnto college at the close of the first semesterof his senior year. His average for the threeand a half year period was 91 per cent.The * B K trio became a quartet in itssenior year with the addition of Donald K.Keith. Brother Keith, too, was a member ofthe Cotillion Club.Three other members of the'""1 senior group were graduated cumlaude. They were Alexander P.Farrar, who was squash championof the college, Grover C. Richman,and Rodney U.

Phidom's Football Famous-By MURRAY S. SMITH, Knox, '25FOR one so young it is a most difficulttask to fulfill a request to select an ALL-TIME team of any kind. This becomesdoubly difficult when the selection involvesfraternity brothers.Although never considered primarily anathletic fraternity, $ A 0 numbers amongits members many AU-American selectionsdespite the fact that the first twelve of WalterCamp's AU-American teams includedonly students from Harvard, Yale, andPrinceton, where we have no chapters.After carefully considering this selection,it proved impossible to reduce the team toeleven members without seriously slightingthe ability of some candidate. As a result,there are sixteen men of this all-time team—four ends, two centers, three halfbacks,and two fullbacks.Only those who were unanimous AU-American selections by every critic in thecountry are placed on this team. There isalso an honorable-mention list of playerswho were not fortunate enough to makeevery AU-American team; but every one ofwhom was picked on one or more suchteams. Including the honorable mention list(according to available data) there are 52Phis who at some time made some AU-American team.The selection of ends on the all-Phi, aUtimeteam is the most difficult of aU becauseof a great number of Phis who have beenunanimous selections. "Red" Roberts, whoplayed both end and fullback at CentreCollege, is placed at fullback rather thanend to allow a deserving candidate a placeat end. Four men are placed at end positionson this team—^Joe Donchess of Pittsburgh;Henry "Bror" Bjorkman of Dartmouth;Charles "Chuck" Berry of Lafayette; andMark Catlin of Chicago. The old-timer ofthis group is Mark Catlin, Chicago, '05, ateammate of Walter Steffen and one of thefirst westerners to be selected by WalterCamp as AU-American. Catlin distinguishedhimself by tackling Clark of Michiganbehind his own goal line for a safety,winning that famous game 2-0. He is thefather of Mark Catlin, Jr., Wisconsin, '32,who played end on the Wisconsin varsitylast year.

An All-Time, All-Phi TeamIn 1924 Walter Camp selectedBjorkman of Dartmouth andBerry of Lafayette as his AU-American ends. This is probablythe only time that one fraternitywas ever so honored. Both menwere past-masters at their position,both offensively and defensively.Joe Donchess, Pittsburgh, madeevery AU-American selection atend during the 1929 season. He isone of many great athletes producedby our Pennsylvania IotaChapter and would be an honor toany team.Tackles were not so plentifulamong the membership but the menplaced on our team were so outstandingthat they selected themselves.Victor "Vic" Halligan ofNebraska was the first footballplayer west of the Mississippi Riverto receive commendation and anaward from Walter Camp.

He is now carrying onwith the championship professional GreenBay Packers team.Bully Van de Graaf, Alabama, '15, andJoe Curtis, Michigan, '05, are awarded theguard positions. Joe Curtis, one of the bestlinemen developed at a great football school,was recently selected by both Fielding Yostand by Grantland Rice, Vanderbilt, '01, ontheir all-time, AU-American teams. Thisrecord is enough to award Curtis an unquestionedposition on anyone's all-time team.Bully Van de Graaf, at present coach atColorado College, was once honored byParke Davis of the 'New York Tribune asfoUows: "You may wax as enthusiastic asyou wish about your Brickleys, your Oliphants,and your Tibbetts but take it fromme I will take Van de Graaf of Alabama asmy AU-American team, even if I have todispense with the other ten players." Van deGraaf was the greatest Phi-player everturned out at Alabama.Parke Davis in last year's issue of Footballselected Herbert Stein, Pittsburgh, '20,as center on his all-time, AU-Americanteam. Stein made unanimous AU-Americanchoices in '19 and '20. He was a big, rangy,roving type of player who never made a badpass in his three years of varsity play."Red" Weaver, stellar center on thewonder Centre College team of "PrayingColonels" that came out of the South anddefeated Harvard back in 1919, is alsoawarded a position at center. Weaver surprisedthe sporting world by making Camp'sfirst AU-American although playing on ateam representing a school of 500 students.The most notable feat accomplished byBrother Weaver was his record of 99 successivegoal kicks after touchdowns.

Will Your ChapterMake the Most of It?TIMES are getting better. It is claimedthat more than a miUion previouslyunemployed men have returned towork. The silver lining seems to be showingthrough.But times are stiU bad. Almost ten millionmen still lack work. The clouds are yetthick and in places impenetrable. Want,hunger, and privation stalk through the landwith appalling force.The coUege fraternity is the product ofa highly developed social order. Unless thesocial order were highly developed our fraternitiescould not have been born nor couldthey have grown to their present size andstrength. Yet that social order shows strangeand disturbing dislocations at times. Partshere and there do not fit. Lubrication isneeded. Million of Socialist and Communistvotes are but symptomatic.* A 0 is a cross-section of the college fraternityworld, partaking of its weaknessesand its strength. Perhaps dozens of chapterswill this month "throw" Christmasparties, dances, masquerades. WeU and good—man is a social being. But if they stop therethat is a weakness. Wherein Ues thestrength?It lies in demonstrating that the collegefraternity chapter, as an organized, integratedgroup, has within itself the capacityfor realizing in the best and highest sensethat truism that "man is a social being."One chapter has made a practice of givingan annual Christmas party for poorchildren in its community. Another has forseveral years distributed baskets of foodamong deserving families. A third group hasmade a collection of the dispensable clothingof its members and turned it over to theSalvation Army. Other ways wiU suggestthemselves.Not all of the Four Horsemen are ridingthis winter, but the grim shadow of certainones will blot out what should be the cheeryblaze on many a Christmas hearth.If college fraternity men are the aristocracyof our campuses in a true sense, why,then, noblesse oblige.Christmas is an opportunity!WiU your chapter make the most of it?[..3]

"Little BiU," as he is[. ,4]known on the coast, played his first footballfor Vallejo, California, high school.

EDITORIALSW E SHALL NOT besorry to see the well-known Depressionfold its tents andsteal away—^but itWatchthe Current,Chapters!has its advantages. Witness a now famouseditorial by an Amarillo, Texas,editor on "I Like the Depression."One of the probable advantages isthat it is testing with fire many of theOld and Established Institutionswhich we had fondly accepted as fixedand rooted. Some of these (supposedly)sturdy oaks, we are sadly finding,however, are badly affected with dryrot. It is a disagreeable disillusionment,just as is our first shadow ofdoubt in the authenticity of the LittleRed Riding Hood legend when webid goodby to childhood years.Among these accepted institutionswhich we are finding can fall is thefraternity chapter. The mortality rollin recent years is becoming appallinglylarge. Interestingly enough, whereasa number of years ago it was the smallcollege which was frequently attackedas unsuited for fraternity chapters, itis in the large universities that we findthe highest death rate now.The causes for this are many. Sufficeit to say that that fraternity chapterwhich is burdened with an overlargehouse debt, the chapter that hasany cankers affecting its internal moraleor organization, the group thatpermits an undue accumulation ofhouse bills, the chapter that does notpay at least a reasonable attention tothat much-discussed but basic factor,scholarship—these groups must watchthe currents with the greatest attentionto whither they drift.[ii6]Thus far Phi Delta Theta has fortunatelyescaped any decimation in itschapter roll, a pruning which severalother large fraternities have not avoided.But we must knock on wood—orbetter still, begin rowing against thecurrents. Darwinian maxims of struggleand survival are being proved withdisconcerting frequency these days.To MassachusettsGammaWITH all therest of the Fraternitywe sayto you, "Welcome!"We are proud to greet youas our baby chapter, although, ofcourse, that term can be applied inthe most figurative sense only, sinceyou already have behind you a decadeof maturity.You have a distinct opportunity beforeyou, we feel assured.

In their nearnessyou are favored above most chapters.The Fraternity moved wisely when itgranted you the charter for a third BayState chapter. We have all faith thatyou will amply justify that action. Andso, Massachusetts Gamma, we welcomeyou.Simon S.BakerTHE SCROLL elsewherecarries the storyof the suicide of Dr. SimonS. Baker, formerlypresident of Washington and JeffersonCollege, his alma m.ater. To quote apress dispatch, "he resigned last yearfollowing a five-day strike by students,who protested against the dismissal ofthree professors and the threatened expulsionof two football players forfighting in a hotel."Then he returned to the scenes heloved so well and took his own life.Thus three important chapters of hislife were written in this friendly, quietlittle town in southwestern Pennsylvania.His formative, impressionablecollege years were spent there. He returnedmany years later, in what tohim was "the proudest moment of hislife" to assume the college presidency.And now the final chapter is writtenand the book is closed with a tragedywhich has had few equals.If a moral is to be drawn from thiswe wonder if it isn't that the humanspecies has perfected refinements ofcruelty never witnessed in any Africanor Indian jungle. We must confessignorance of the details of the situationwhich brought to a close the secondchapter on the W. and J. campus.But when a man of education is, aftera year of "quiet life .. . depressed andmelancholy," brought to such an actas that of Dr. Baker it bespeaks a torturewhich those subjected to merephysical pain may not envisage.The talk around the "college of thePresidents" a year or so ago may havebeen of the "great victory" won overa president who was old-fashioned andcouldn't understand the students. Butin the unfolding of the aftermath hasn'tan enormously high price been paidfor that victory.?

The SCROLL #/Phi Delta ThetaFebruary1933Volume 57No. 3Phi Delta Theta in Football, 1932By MURRAY S. SMITH, Knox, '25TEN of the first eleven all-Phi teammembers received all-American mentionduring the 1932 football season.That four members of last year's all-Phiteam are relegated to the second teamproves that this year's team has more starsthan any I have yet picked. I predicted lastyear that we had an abundance of youngplayers who should develop into futurestars; and the brothers have come throughin great style, as usual. Chapters having thebest representation on the gridiron this pastseason were Duke, Florida, Stanford, Pittsburgh,Ohio Wesleyan, Washburn, Purdue,Michigan, Lafayette, Colorado College,Hanover, and Iowa Wesleyan. Thestrongest teams where we have chapterswere Michigan (national champions), Purdue,Pittsburgh, Utah, Auburn, Duke, andColgate.HIGH LIGHTS OF 1932A Phi alumnus, Harry Kipke, Michigan,'24, coached the powerful Michigan teamto the national championship as declared bythe Dickinson system and received the beautifulKnute Rockne trophy. This was anoutstanding graduate achievement.Undergraduate achievements on thegridiron were the excellent play of WarrenHeller, captain of Pitt, and William Corbus,stellar lineman on the Stanford team.Both were unanimous all-American choicesand made the famous Collier^s eleven."Gil" Berry, in a sensational come-back,finally received the credit long due him forunusual ability and was beaten only slightlyby Newman of Michigan for the ChicagoTribune "most-valuable-player" award.Roy Oen, lightweight center and captainelectof the Minnesota team, was also chosenby his team-mates as the most valuableplayer on his team in the Tribune contest.Fred Crawford received recognition onsome all-American team selections.HERE'S OUR LINE-UPIn selecting our fullback we are followingthe example of Collier's and placing ourgreat all-American, Captain Warren Hellerof the Pittsburgh Panthers, at this positionalthough he was listed as a halfback in aWarner system line-up. Heller led his teamin the Rose Bowl classic and is the outstandingPhi player of the season. Said to be Pitt'sgreatest back of all time this 170-pounderblocks, runs, kicks, passes, and tackles in away to please the most hard-boiled coach.To prove Heller's versatility Coach Sutherlandshifted him from the running back tothe blocking post when Sebastian enteredthe game. A keen diagnostician of playsHeller did not permit a pass to be completedin his territory in three years. Other fullbacksof exceptional ability are Olson ofNorthwestern, whose punting was a fea-63]

Fortune of Vanderbilt, Mencimer ofColorado Aggies, Seamons of Illinois, Buseof Stanford and Allen of Stanford.At the halfback positions Fred Heckerof Purdue and Clarence Edwinson ofWashburn are chosen from a field of shininglights. Fred Hecker was a member ofwhat was called the best backfield of theyear and played his second year of smart,dependable ball. Purdue was one of thehigh scoring teams in the nation and Heckerplayed the left halfback or "key" positionof the Rockne system, as coached at Purdue.Hecker did most of the passing forPurdue and figured prominently in thelong runs so dangerous to opponents.Clarence Edwinson, high scoring halfbackfrom Washburn College, is awardedthe other halfback job as a result of fouryears' stellar play on a good team representinga small college. He established a recordas highest scoring collegiate player duringfour years' eligibility. Brother Ernest Bearg,Washburn coach, says of him, "I beheveEdwinson is one of the best backs in theUnited States. He is exceptional as a ballcarrier, blocker, passer, and defensive safetyor halfback. He is rugged and can take it.In my 17 years of coaching I have had onlytwo backs that could compare with him, andthose were 'Red' Grange of Illinois andGlen Presnell of Nebraska, and in some respectsEdwinson is a better all-round backthan either of them." Other outstandingPhi halfbacks were Grefe, Ames (all-American mention); Sims, Stanford (allcoast); Creager, Colorado College (RockyMountain honors); Dorsett and Brown,Florida; Stark, Cincinnati; Meyer, Miami;Mahon, Akron; Garrett, Swarthmore;and Vasen, Knox.O A 0 is fortunate in having a standoutat quarterback such as Captain "Gil" Berryof IHinois. I have watched Berry play forthree years and he is the grittiest, smartestgeneral seen since EckersaU. In fact, I calledhim the "Berries" in a story two years agoand that still goes. He received honorablemention on the Associated Press, New YorkTimes and Telegram, and the footballboard all-American selections as well asbeing unanimous Big Ten and all-Westernquarterback.

"Dick"Fencl was again the leading Phi Delt endof the year. He was a pleasure to watch,always forcing the runner inside and oftenknifing through the interference and droppingthe ball carrier. This is Dick's lastyear and we bid farewell to one of thescrappiest and nerviest players in the game.Fencl made honorable mention on the AssociatedPress and New York Sun all-Americans and was honored by the NotreDame players, who placed him on their all-American team of opponents."Dutch" Wermuth played in and was abulwark of defense during every game duringhis three years of competition. "Dutch"is more than six feet tall, weighs 200 poundsand uses his size to advantage. He is a greatblocker and fearless tackier. Wermuthplayed on the "all-Northern" team againstan "all-Southern" team for charity in additionto being honored by mention on theAssociated Press all-Eastern team. Rossiterof Duke (all-Southern), Lowery of Purdue,Bellstrom and Thomson of Chicago,Captain Dablow of North Dakota, Shearerof Florida, Wrona of Wabash, Bennett ofOhio Wesleyan, Hickey of Amherst, andVolkman of De Pauw were other stars.Our tackles are exceptionally strong andthe race between Wistert of Michigan,Crawford of Duke, Howard of Utah,Schammel of Iowa, Schwammel of OregonState, Cummings of Illinois, and Barry ofIowa Wesleyan was close. However, FrancisWistert, giant tackle on the championMichigan team, and Fred Crawford ofDuke are the first team tackles. Wistert isa 210-pound giant measuring six feet fourinches. He was unanimous all-Big-Tentackle and received honorable mention onthe Associated Press and New York Telegramall-American teams. Francis alwaysplayed heads up football throughout a"man-killing" schedule and was a reason forthe scarcity of points scored by opponents.Fred Crawford of Duke, unanimousall-Southern and Associated Press and

168 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor February, 1933United Press second team all-Americantackle, is our other tackle. Crawford is anotherpowerful giant who goes down underpunts with the speed of an end and rarelymisses a tackle. Crawford uses his handseffectively and was instrumental in the defensiveplay of Wallace Wade's strong Duketeam. He wiU be back next year. Splendidtackles not named above are Starbuck ofFlorida, Sayers of Ohio Wesleyan, Heritageof Swarthmore, and Norfleet of U.C.L.A.ALL-AMERICAN CORBUSAgain Corbus of Stanford led the fieldof splendid Phi Delt guards. He receivedmore honors this year than last and hasanother year of eligibility. This season BiUwas unanimous all-Coast guard and madeevery important all-American team, includingCollier's and the all-American Boardteams. Called the "baby-faced assassin,"Corbus hurled his 187 pounds into the pathsociated Press and New York Telegramall-American selections. In choosing Martinon his all-American team, Alan J, Gould,sports columnist for the Harrisburg (Pa.)Telegraph, called him one of the nation'sbest linemen on an obscure team. The listof great Phi Delt guards this year includesHaas of Lafayette, Walker of Brown, Filburnof Arizona, Cantrill of Michigan, Coffinof Brown, Dablow of North Dakota,and Mecum of Butler.The most difiicult choice to make thisyear was that of center post. Lee Coates,U.C.L.A., all-Coast and all-Americanmention center; Roy Oen, briUiant Minnesotacaptain-elect; Bill Bates, captain ofStanford and Coast choice; Roark, captainelectof Colorado College and Rocky Mountainchoice; E. B. Dunlap, star center atDuke; and Johnson, stellar center on thestrong Auburn team are Phi centers anyone of whom would strengthen an all-starof the play or led his own ball carrier withferocity. "Pop" Warner used Corbus todiagnose the play and drop into the line atthe point where the play was to come.Modern football demands fast guards andCorbus was used to lead Stanford's interferenceon all plays.It is phenomenal when a football playerfrom a small school receives a great dealof publicity. The small school player mustbe doubly good to be recognized. Such is thecase with Guy Martin of Colorado College,who made the consensus all-Rocky Mountainselection and received honorable mentionon the all-American football board, Asteamof any kind. The position is awardedto Lee Coates, unanimous all-Coast centerand recipient of honorable mention on everyall-American team that was selected. Playingon a light team that depended on speedand intricate plays rather than power toscore, Coates was forced to pass on manytricky plays and he did not make one badpass from center throughout a diflScultschedule. Lee is a tall, rangy fellow; equallygood in a six or seven man line and oftenpulled out backs. Curtin, Oregon State;Ferguson to intercept passes intended foropposing Denison; and Baldwin, California,were other centers of note.

Mrs.Ida Allen became house mother at Kansasin 1912.The reports coming in from the 26 chaptersare overwhelmingly favorable. Indeed,only one chapter out of that number expressesany doubt about the system.Here are some quotations from letters:In the past five years, as more attention Indiana Alpha: "Mother Robertsonhas been given to living conditions in chapterhouses, and as new houses with properquarters for house mothers have beenerected, more and more chapters haveadopted the idea. Today 26 chapters enjoysuch advantages. Mu Province leads with ahouse mother in each of the seven chapters.Kappa has five out of seven chapters declaringthe merits of the plan.

Thegeneral tone of conduct is raised unconsciouslybut appreciably. A real financial savingis made through purchasing by Mrs.Holliday, the house mother, and dates canbe entertained informally and inexpensivelyin the house on week-end evenings."Iowa Beta: "Her presence gives the76]

Freshmen used to homesurroundings find in her almost a motherand become accustomed to university lifemore quickly. Mrs. Kinsloe puts her practicalknowledge to use in supervising thekitchen and arranging the menus."OKw Beta: "It would be diflScult toenumerate all the benefits the chapter hasderived from Miss Armstrong's presence.Cheerful, sympathetic and a congenial companion,returning alumni always look firstfor Miss Armstrong. Her duties range fromsuch arduous ones as serving as steward forthe house and doing all the purchasing offood, to sewing on stray buttons. One of thestanding house committees is the housemother committee, which is appointed especiallyfor her benefit to see that she is es'corted to the various university functions."Maryland Alpha: "Mrs. Hawkins hasbeen an unusual aid in another respect, becausefor the past two years she has tutoredthe freshman pledges who were weak infreshman English and history and she hasthe record that not one whom she has sohelped has failed his course."Oklahoma Alpha: "Always of goodcheer, with a kindly and sympathetic smilefor every one of 'my boys,' as she callsthem.

We of North Carolina Beta feel thatwe reap great benefit from our housemother. Her presence has a quieting effectupon us and reminds us to be gentlemanlyat aU times. Besides, a fraternity housemother tends to greatly enhance the socialprestige of a fraternity and to give it an individuality."Nebraska Alpha: "Our house mother'sname is Mrs. Dora K. French. She came tothe chapter in September, 1930. At thattime, she was given the power of managementof the fraternity house regarding theplanning of the meals, checking of the laundryand complete supervision of the kitchen.Since she has been with this chapter, she hasorganized a mothers' club which meets atthe chapter house once a month. Also, shehas promoted Sunday evening gatheringsat the fraternity house whereby the boysbring their dates into the house and areserved a light lunch. As you no doubt knowfrom our reports, the fraternity house is notadequately provided for quarters for thehouse mother, and as a result she is not ableto stay at the house.

£_. How FootballThe House that Grange BuiltThe huge Illinois Stadium hassupplanted the ChampaignFairgrounds as the sceneof Illinois games.PHI DELT pledges of today would findthemselves in strange surroundingswere they to be suddenly dropped backinto the days when the fathers of some ofthem were still college boys.In hundreds of colleges and universitiesthat now boast of their football teams andpoint with pride to rows of handsome fraternityhouses, football was not played at thattime and fraternities were few and far between,if there were any at all, for fraternitiesand football both had to overcome prejudicesin many quarters before they becameestablished in the esteem they now hold inthe college life of all sections of the country.FOOTBALL today is Big Business.Only a little over a generation ago itwas still in its svadJling clothes. Thespirited story of how a great MiddleWestern university began the nation'sgame is here told by the man who introducedit. Scott Williams not onlyaided in starting football at Illinois butwas also responsible to a considerabledegree for the chartering of Illinois Eta.This graphic account of the early daysof the Illini is thus both athletic historyand Fraternity history.[•78]The University of Illinois, which has hadchampionship teams in the Big Ten andwhich has fraternities in number and establishmentthe equal of any other institutionof higher learning in the country, furnishesa striking illustration of the changes thathave taken place. They impress me withespecial force because circumstances permittedme to have a part in starting footballthere and also in helping to secure a charterfor the Illinois Eta Chapter of * A ®; as Iattended the university during its transitionperiod from a small school to an institutionof more than 500 students, with an enlargedfaculty, extended curriculum andtwice as many buildings on the campus whenI left as when I began my studies there.During that four-year period the banagainst fraternities, which had been in effectfor a number of years, was removed,football was started, the first enclosed athleticfield was established, the first lUinoisstate intercoUegiate athletic association wasorganized, the first glee club was started atthe university and other innovations weremade.Our first team was organized in 1890.The game had been played for several yearsat Michigan, Purdue, and Indiana. Wisconsinorganized a team one year before and

Was StartedOhio State started the game the same yearwe did. During the same time the Universityof Chicago was emerging from itschrysalis and a football team was startedthere two years after we began playing.Phi Delts will be interested in knowingthat an older member of the Fraternity thanmyself brought the game to the Prairie statefour years before. The first organized footballI know of in Illinois was started simultaneouslyat Illinois Wesleyan at Bloomingtonand the Illinois State Normal Universityat Normal about 1886.A Wesleyan Phi Delt had previously attendedDartmouth for a time and had pickedup the rudiments of the game as it wasplayed in the East during the middle 'eighties.He organized a team at Wesleyan, butin order to have another team to play againsthe had to see that the game was also startedat Normal, the two campuses being just amile apart. This Phi had the unique jobof voluntarily coaching the team he playedon and the team he played against, ananomalous situation which was duplicatedsome years later when we had Captainat IllinoisBy SCOTT WILLIAMSIllinois '94Who Introduced the gameto the IlliniLackey of the Purdue team come over toIllinois and coach us every week or two duringour second season.Students of the model high school affiliatedwith the Normal university were eligibleto play on the athletic teams. I wasplaying on the Normal basebaU team whenClark Griffith, now owner of the WashingtonSenators baseball team, was our starpitcher, and never did I feel in such dangerof my life in a footbaU game as when Ihad to toe a mark beside the plate and practicebatting at the cannonballs "Griff"threw.When I first saw a football game it didnot appeal to me at all, but the Normalcaptain was a pal of mine and he talked meinto playing football.

180 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor February, 1933Both the Wesleyan and Normal boysurged me to try and arrange football gamesfor them with the University of Illinoiswhen I entered the university preparatorydepartment at Champaign. Imagine myamazement when I found that nobody atthe state university besides myself had evereven seen a footbaU game. Furthermore, Iwas given to understand that "preps" werenot expected to try and start new gamesthere. So I contented myself by playing onthe "prep" ball team and waited a year, untilI became a freshman, before I attemptedto get a football team organized.The Author TodayThe proposition of a freshman startingany kind of a varsity team would be ridiculousnow, but that was my job. It was not somuch a matter of picking the eleven bestplayers as it was to find eleven men whowere willing to play. Some treated the matteras a joke and some were severe in theirdenunciation of the game. But a few upperclassmenwere wiUing to help and by fiUingin with freshmen we got a team together.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor February, 1933 181One of the freshmen. Dr. William FredSlater of Chicago, was a mainstay of theteam from the start and later on was a starof the lUinois Athletic Association team,which preceded Chicago University as thatcity's favorite representative on the gridiron.Fred Slater and I were the only members ofthe original football team who became PhiDelts.The Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Associationhad just been organized as an adjunctof the state oratorical association andthe meeting that year was to be in Bloomington.It was my chance to make good mypromise to the Wesleyan boys to arrange afootball game for them with the universityteam. But it took the most urgent pleadingnominy and unnumbered caUings-downawaited me upon our return to Champaign.I was told flatly that if lUinois was to havea footbaU team it would have to win games,as Illinois was not in the habit of losing andwould not stand to have its prestige loweredby "the fool game of football."Then came the president of Purdue andspoke at chapel, which was a part of thedaily schedule at the university. He told usthat if we would bring our footbaU teamto Lafayette we would get the worst beatingwe ever had. Such a challenge from auniversity president was too much for thestandpatters and they mobbed me afterchapel and told me I had to go over andbeat Purdue. That was my chance to de-One of William^ successors as coach, the popular"Bob" Zuppke, head of the football staffJusta M- Lindgren, Illinois, '02, veteran line coach,former chapter adviser of Illinois Etaon the part of myself and others to obtainpermission from the university athletic associationto play football in the name of theuniversity. That privilege was reluctantlygranted on condition that we buy our ownuniforms and equipment and pay our ownexpenses.Of course the veteran Wesleyan teambeat us, as it was the first game for everymember of our team except myself. Ig-mand their help and we got together a reallyfine bunch of men. The main trouble wasthat I knew precious little footbaU and theothers knew none at all. George Huff, captainof the baseball team, agreed to playcenter, and he told me he had never had afootbaU in his hands until I put one there.Purdue had a veteran team coached bytwo Princeton stars, while the little footbaUwe knew was at least five years behind

How Idreaded going back to lUinois after such adefeat, but we found the sentiment hadchanged and a crowd met us at the depotand cheered us for having fought experiencedgladiators regardless of consequences.The season closed with a Thanksgivingday game against Wesleyan at the fairgroundsin Champaign, the first game everplayed in that city. It was made a gala occasion,with carriages filled with beribbonedladies and gentlemen cheering us from thesidelines. We won the game and footballpopularity at Illinois dates from that day.The next season Bob Lackey, captain ofPurdue, came over and gave us weekly orfortnightly lessons. I was captain only duringthe first year but continued to assist incoaching two years longer. Letters writtento Walter Camp, "father of footbaU" atYale, brought courteous replies that clearedup disputed points regarding the rules.We had our first real coach during thethird season, when the late E. K. Hall ofDartmouth, former vice-president of theAmerican Telephone and Telegraph Company,and chairman of the football rulescommittee, came to take charge of athleticsRed Grange, the GallopingGhost, whose playing broughtterror to all opponents ofIllinois. He is aZeta Psi."Like father, like son" is whatIllini are saying of the Cooks,father and son. Jimmy played onthe famous Illinois teams of thirtyyears ago, while Dave was one ofthe mainstays on the 1932Illini team.

He had me act as his assistantin coaching the footbaU team anddelegated me to give individual instructionsby lining up for practice against variousplayers who showed inclinations to holdback. As most of them were my superiorsin weight and strength, a full share of bumpingcame my way. I played no regular positionafter the first year, but was used whereeverI happened to be needed, and I playedquarter, half, fullback, end, and tackle invarsity games.Our team the third year was able to makea good showing against any of the westernteams, but we took in too much territorywhen we attempted a ten-day trip duringwhich we played six games, at St. Louis andKansas City, Missouri, Omaha and Lincoln,Nebraska, and Baldwin and Lawrence,Kansas. Eighteen men composed the squadon the trip and we won four of the games,but nearly every man of us was a physicalwreck before we got back, due to sicknessand exhaustion. Oddly enough, our onlyserious injury was to Coach HaU, who playedwith us in some of the games, as was thecustom of the times. He suffered a brokenarm in the game against Kansas University.We thought the world of him and therewasn't one of us who didn't wish it hadbeen us instead of the "Boss."An Illinois footbaU association was organizedduring our second year, but the conferencewas not organized until five yearsafter that. We played high school and athleticclub teams, the latter made up mostlyof old college players, there being no conferencerules to limit our schedule to collegeteams. Coaches frequently played with theirteams. Bob Lackey, while captain of Purdue,played with us against Lake Forest, whichwas agreeable to all concerned, as two membersof that year's Princeton team playedwith Lake Forest. Coaches and players weresometimes caUed upon to serve as refereeand umpire and I officiated with AlonzoStagg in a game between Oberlin and lUinois.The "iron clad" rule against fraternitieswas abrogated while Lackey was coachingus on the installment plan, and he lost notime in getting a K S chapter started at lUinois.A chapter of S X had been organizedin the days before the ban and resident alumnirevived it without the need of getting anew charter. Efforts to start a $ A 0 chapterwere begun early, but it took a long timeto get the charter.My older brother was a Phi Delt at II-Unois Wesleyan and as our home was nearthe campus and I became acquainted withmany members of the Fraternity during myhigh school days, I naturaUy felt that I "belonged"to the Phi Delts as far as fraternitieswere concerned and I readily agreedto requests of Wesleyan Phi Delts to start amovement for a chapter at Illinois. I wentto Cornell in the spring of my junior yearand the charter was granted while I wasaway, so I did not become a charter member,though I returned to Illinois later andjoined the chapter.Many interesting and amusing storiescould be told of the old footbaU teams andthe old fraternities. Suffice to say that, althoughthey opened the way for better organizationlater on, nevertheless the "oldtimers"who took part in the activities ofdays gone by enjoyed them fuUy as much asthe present day armored warriors of thegridiron or dwellers in the most palatial offraternity houses.A Phi Delta Theta Town{Continued jrom fage i-j2\Kansas, '28, is with the Citizen's NationalBank.Robert Hudkins, Washburn, '31, lawyer,was the successful candidate for probatejudge on the Republican ticket.

Chenery Leads Collier's to TopBy ELMER DAVISFranklin, '10Elmer Davis, one of the country's best knownfree lance fiction and essay writers, regular contributorto Collier's, Harper's, and other leadingmagazines, former Rhodes Scholar at OxfordUniversity, etc., etc., etc. contributes to this issueof THE SCROLL an original article about Collier'sChenery. The author is a leader of theyounger group of writers, one whose briUiant,rapier-like comments have gained the attentionof^ the entire literary world in recent years. Atcollege Brother Davis majored in Greek, preparingto teach Greek literature; at Queen's Collegein Oxford he changed his objective to Romanhistory. When he returned to New York oncompleting his Rhodes tenure he found that thesupply of classical scholarship was considerablyin excess of the demand and hence became amanuscript reader for a red-blooded magazine.From it he went to the New York Times as reporterand editorial writer, specializing in easternEuropean politics. For the past decade he haswritten fiction, both books and short stories, andessays on literature, politics, and theology.THESE past years, hard enough on mostof us, have been particularly hard onthe popular magazines which dependfor most of their revenue on advertising.Of them all. Collier's has come through inthe best shape; which is a tribute to thepolicies it has followed since William L.Chenery, Randolph-Macon, '07, becameits editor in 1925. It would be indelicatefor one of his contributors to discuss thosepolicies, but some account of Brother Chenery'scareer may be in order.He was born in Caroline County, Virginia,June 26, 1884, of a family whichhad migrated from Massachusetts to Virginiabefore the Civil War, and had becomethoroughly naturalized before hostilitiesbroke out. (When he says "haouse" hesays it with the Virginia, not the Yankee,accent.) If Brother Chenery's subsequentcareer takes on the aspect of an "up from theslums" success story, it should be pointedout that he dived down into the slums first,of his own accord; after graduating fromPart of the bankof huge pressesin which Collier'sis printed atSpringfield,Ohio.[.86]

coUege he got a fellowshipin sociologyat the University ofChicago, and spenta couple of years asa resident of HullHouse. Contacttherein gained withsocial problems andacquaintance madewith practical workersin sociology wasto influence a gooddeal of his laterwriting.In 1910 he wentto work as a reporteron the Chicago EveningPost, and afterfour years there wassent by the ownerof the newspaperchain to which thePost belonged to anotherof his properties,the RockyMountain News ofThe SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor February, 1933 187Denver,where forseveralmonths he was in charge of the editorialpage. At that time the miners' strike hadbrought on what amounted to a civil warin Colorado, of which the local papers weretaking very little notice. Chenery wrote aneditorial mildly suggesting that in the battlesof this war it would at least be just asweU if women and children were not shotdown by the military; and the resultantuproar from partisans of the established orderthreatened to make Denver too hot tohold him. The circulation of the paper hadtrebled, however, as a result of this recogni-F desk photograph of William L. Chenery, the nation'sgreatest magazine editor.tion of what was going on; so Cheneryheld his job till the crisis was over.Thereafter he returned to Chicago andbecame an editorial writer and column conductoron the Chicago Herald, till that paperwent under in 1918. George Creel, anold friend of his Denver days, then attachedhim to the Committee on Public Information,for which he first conducted laborpublicity and afterward served as one of itsParis representatives during the Peace Conference.Coming back to New York, he wasfor a year or so a special writer for the Surveyand the New York Times Magazine,some of the fruits of that time being embodiedin a book entitled Industry and Hu-

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor February, 1933man Welfare, which he published in 1922.Meanwhile he had become associate editorof the Evening Globe, a paper stiU affectionatelyremembered by a good many NewYorkers as the most civilized daily whichthe town has possessed in modern, or perhapsany other times.But in those days Frank Munsey wassinking New York newspapers one after theother, like a submarine operating in a shippinglane; and in 1923 he bought theGlobe and abolished it. Chenery was bythat time important enough to be rescuedby the man who had torpedoed the ship,and for the next two or three years heworked for Munsey successively on theHerald, the Sun, and the Telegram-Mail.In 1925 he went to Collier's as editor; andthe recovery of the magazine from a slumpof several years, though already beginning,was powerfully accelerated under his direction.In the early years of his editorship thecirculation increased from one million tomuch more than two million, with a correspondingrise in the prosperity of the magazine;gains almost all of which have beenheld even during the years of depression.Chenery was married in 1913 to MissDai Consuelo Smith of Chicago, who diedin 1927. In 1928 he was married to MargaretElizabeth Miller also of Chicago. Heleads the sedate life of a commuter in PelhamManor, mitigated by occasional tripsto Palm Beach to play golf and by summersspent on a farm in the rugged northwesterncorner of Connecticut, where you can't listento the corn growing because the groundis too rocky for it to grow at all, and accordinglyyou have plenty of leisure to readmanuscripts. a—iUndergraduate Contest AnnouncedTHE EDITORS of the Hound and Horn,545 Fifth Avenue, New York City, haveannounced a contest for the stimulation ofwriting in the United States which will undoubtedlybe of interest to active membersof the Fraternity.A portion of their announcement states"that editors of the Hound and Horn areposting its first annual prize of $100 forthe best piece of fiction, and a prize of $50for the best piece of verse, by an undergraduateof any American college or university.The winning story and poem wiU bepublished in the Summer 1933 issue of theHound and Horn.

Trufi^ealestTteillinlbotballAs told to HARVEY WOODRUFF, Chicago, '99, in the Chicago TribuneBy WILLIS A. GLASGOWIowa, '29MY GREATEST thrill occurred at the dedicationof our new Iowa stadium when I was a senioron the team in 1929. It was our first home appearanceof the season and against Illinois, whichhad won the conference championship in 1927 and1928. Illinois had beaten Kansas and Bradley bybig scores when it came to Iowa City.We had downed Carroll and Monmouth, butlost to Ohio State, 6 to 7, so the Illini were pronouncedfavorites to win. The team spirit wasgood, but I fear many of our most staunch supporterswondered just how bad the afternoonwould be.On the first play after receiving the openingkickoff I was given the ball for a thrust inside ourright tackle. Roberts and Sleisner opened a finehole for me and I shot through. Illinois was playinga box defense and I managed to sidestep theclosest secondary defense man. Meanwhile MikeFarroh and Pignatelli as interferers were takingout the other Illinois tacklers. There still was oneIllinois player, whose name I don't remember,who was in a position to obstruct my path to thegoal line. He made a dive for me at about the 20yard line, but missed, and I went on to complete a78 yard run for a touchdown, from which goalwas kicked.Even with that start we found Illinois a valiantfoe and the Illini scored a touchdown later, so thegame ended in a 7 to 7 tie.While, of course, my opportunity came throughthe hole opened in the line and in the co-operationof my blockers, it was a wonderful thrill to reeloif all those yards before a home crowd which hadexpected us to lose. I was rather small in stature,as you remember, but was lucky in my dodging' and open field running.Bill Glasgow in ig2g was awarded the ChicagoTribune silver football as the Big Ten player ofgreatest value to his team during the season. In i^^ohe played pro footbaU at PortsmouthyOhio, and in 1931 withthe Chicago cardinals to earnmoney to finish his law courseat Iowa, where he now is asenior. He has no intention ofcoaching or playing more profootball, but after being graduatedwill start a legal career,possibly in Seattle, Washington.By HARRY KIPKEMichigan, '22MY GREATEST football thrill, or rather thrills,occurred in 1922 when Michigan participated inthe dedication of the new Ohio State stadium witha 19 to o victory over the home team before75,000 spectators. We really were a great teamthat year but it was an early game, before weknew our strength, and Vanderbilt had held' usto a scoreless tie the week before.On this particular day we clicked. Everythingwe tried seemed to work. Even old No. 83, Michigan'shoary delay play, was good for several finegains. Of course we had men to make the playsclick, including Jack Blott at center. Kirk andGoebel at ends, with Frank Cappon, Doug Roby,Irv Uteritz and myself in the backfield.In the first period, Goebel made a clever placekick. In the second period, Uteritz tossed me apass which resulted in a 4.0 yard gain for a touchdown.In the second half, I was fortunate enoughto intercept a pass and get away for a 55 yard runfor another touchdown. The boys all were pullingfor me that day because Walter Camp was in thestands looking over material for his All-Americanselections. So they let me attempt a drop kick fromthe 35 yard line and it went over.Just to show how some days are great while onother days you feel just the same but nothingworks out right. I was called upon to punt 10times. I managed to place every punt out ofbounds—so the ball could not be run back—andthe average distance of the punts was 47 yards.You see I was a comparatively little fellow, 155pounds. I didn't want any one to run me off theteam on which I had been a regular the yearbefore, so I had practiced kicking all during mysummer vacation. I suppose that was my greatestgame. Any way, it gave me my greatest thrills.Harry G. Kipke, now head coach, played on theMichigan football teams of 1^21-2$, being captain in1923. And what a kicker! He was a nine letter man,also participating in basketballand baseball. He was named All-American by Camp in 1922 andwas all-western for three years.Following graduation, Kipke wasassistant coach at Missouri, assistantat Michigan, head coach atMichigan State, then returned toMichigan as head coach of theNational Champions.

192 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor February, 1933Blame for the failure of college fraternitiesto function properly throughout thiscountry was definitely placed upon AmericancoUege and university administrationsby Fred J. Milligan, Ohio State, '28, assistantdean of men, Ohio State University.He charged educational institutions withwelcoming fraternities to their campuses andthen failing to assist in their proper development."The typical administrative and facultyattitude toward fraternity is one of indifference,"declared Brother Milligan. Theyare unwiUing to admit that a fraternity isan adjunct to the educational system, unwiUingto consider it a necessary part oftheir college because they are afraid to assumethe necessary responsibilities incidentalthereto. They have become entirely uninformedand misinformed as to the fraternityconditions on their own campus."After having served as traveling secretaryof one of the larger fraternities for oneyear, and having been an administrative officerof a university for three years, I am willingto tell anyone with sincere and absoluteconviction that if fraternities are on thewane, if they are not fulfilling their purpose,and if the system is a failure—then theone most to blame is the college."One of the most effective means ofavoiding the occurrence of distasteful problemswith fraternities is for the college todirect and guide the activities of thesegroups in a rational and constructively helpfulmanner, provide the means for counsel,make it the college's business to know itsfraternities, and to be able to aid and toguide their program through an effectiveinterfraternity organization."Brother Milligan then outlined the extensiveprogram being carried out at OhioState University under his direction. Featuresof this include: the keeping of vitalstatistics of each of the fifty social and twenty-fiveprofessional fraternity chapters, theassisting of chapter presidents to meet theirresponsibilities, the aiding of chapters to securepledges, the issuing of reports to nationalofficers of fraternities, the auditing ofchapter financial accounts, the visiting ofchapters to establish social contacts, and theorganizing of all interfraternity activitiesunder the direction of the dean of men'soffice.Some of the accomplishments reported byBrother Milligan include a ruling by theOhio State University faculty that preventschapter members from continuing theirregistration in the university unless theirdebts to their fraternity chapters are paid,the holding of a banquet for all campusfraternity executives, the making availableto aU fraternities the names of entering studentsupon registration, and the publicationof a fraternity manual, giving informationabout the fraternities represented on thecampus.Again the fraternity was given credit forimportant work being done throughout theeducational world when the topic, "Whatthe fraternity is doing for the undergraduateand what it should do," was discussedfrom three points of view: the college administrator,H. E. Lobdell, dean of men atMassachusetts Institute of Technology; theundergraduate, Ivari Allen, Jr., representativefrom the Georgia School of Technology;and the fraternity officer, NormanHackett, graduate secretary of 0 A X.College fraternities have a desirable influenceover their members, and the soonerthat freshmen are pledged to them, the betterfor all concerned was the position takenby Dean LobdeU.Of more than usual interest were someof the reports. That on deferred rushing byDr. Charles A. Tonsor, Jr., reviewing thewidely differing methods in use throughoutthe country, was made the basis for theConference going on record as favoringfreedom of acquaintance between fraternitymen and freshmen, and opposing delay inpledging beyond the middle of the first semester.That very definite progress is being madein the experiment of trying out the tutorialsystem in fraternity houses was reported byProfessor R. H. Jordan, of Cornell University.

West VirginiaGovernor-Elect, A Phi,ApproachesInauguralBy JAMES W. HARRIS, JR.West Virginia, '31WHEN on March 4, West Virginiastages its own inauguration, thecentral figure wiU be the nation'sthird Phi governor of the present day,H. Guy Kump, Virginia, '05. The Democraticvictory in West Virginia last Novembermarked a political turnover—the wipingout of a sizable Republican majority andthe election of the Democratic candidate bya majority of more than 60,000.Governor-elect Kump, whose home isin Elkins, conducting a whirlwind campaignof 30,000 miles over the comparativelysmall state of West Virginia, made ameteoric rise in state politics, although hehad been active in the poltical and civiclife of his home county of Randolph for 16years prior to his election to the state's highestoffice. Serving first as prosecuting attorney,then as mayor of Elkins, Governor-Elect Kump was later elected judge of thetwentieth West Virginia judicial circuit andwas serving in that capacity when his party[i 93]Governor-elect H. Guy Kump, VirginiaBeta, '05, of West Virginianominated him as its candidate for governor.Soon after he received the nominationhe resigned his judicial position to prosecutehis campaign, and West Virginians in generalare still talking about the aggressiveness,effectiveness, and constructive characterof his efforts to attain the office, whileveteran political observers have been heardto say that his alertness and vitality havebeen unequalled in the state's political history.Judge Kump will have the support of alegislature, both branches of which wiU beDemocratic for the first time in 36 years.The new West Virginia chief executive isa native of Hampshire county. West Virginia,and was reared on a farm. Aftergaining his early education in the rural publicschools, Judge Kump matriculated at theUniversity of Virginia, where he affiliatedwith O A 0, and from which institution he

194 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor February, 1933was graduated in 1905 with a degree inlaw. He established his legal practice in Elkins,where, in 1907, he married MissEdna Scott, daughter of State Senator CyrusScott, one of West Virginia's foremostDemocratic leaders. To this union six childrenwere born—Cyrus, the oldest, nowan Elkins attorney; Frances, now on theElkins high school faculty; EKzabeth andMargaret, twins, juniors in Davis-ElkinsCollege, at Elkins; Mary Gamble, freshmanin Davis-Elkins; and Benjamin, studentin the Elkins High School.Since his election, Governor-Elect Kumphas devoted his time to a study of WestVirginia's governmental and fiscal structure,with the end in view of reducing thecosts of its operation, and subsequently reducingtaxes. He has carried his studies beyondthe borders of his home state, havingspent some time at Richmond, capital ofVirginia, studying particularly the tax androad laws of that state.Phi Delta Theta House Mothers\Continued from page lyy"]Missouri Al-pha: "We have always beenfortunate in having women of outstandingcharacter to fill the position. We have foundthat the house mothers that we have employedhave not been prone to delve intothe business of the fraternity or interfere inany manner whatsoever in the daily functionsof the chapter. On the contrary, theyhave always maintained a cooperative spiritand have always kept themselves in thebackground when their assistance is notreally needed. We have noticed that thehouse mothers have the interest of the chapterat heart and do all in their power tokeep things running smoothly and to helpout whenever the occasion presents itself.It is customary at Missouri Alpha for a Phikeiato take the house mother out for theSunday evening meal. We have found thatthe pledges are always ready to do this withoutpersuasion."Indiana Delta: "It seems to be the consensusof opinion here that a house motheris almost indispensable."Indiana Zeta: "Mrs. D.

WhatAbout theRollinsCharges.'^By FRANK S. WRIGHT, Florida, '26President of Epsilon Province[What about the Rollins Charges? That questionrang bluntly and vigorously around thefraternity world a few months back and itsreverberations echoed through the columns ofthe -metropolitan press, notably in a New Yorkpaper which gave considerable space to themovement to "boot the fraternities out ofRollins." In the view that the question cannow be considered more dispassionately wehave asked Brother Wright to review the situationfor THE SCROLL. It is our hope in subsequentissues to present reviews of unusualfraternity and educational situations on othercajnpuses.—EDITOR.]FOLKS disagree so often on trivial mattersthat it is no particular surprise thatthere should be a diversity of opinion onthe subject of college fraternities.In the parlance of the press, it is no especialnews that Greek-letter social fraternitieshave existed and thrived for more thana century. It is seldom recorded for pubhcconsumption that nine of the past elevenpresidents of the United States, and thePresident-elect, took college fraternity initiationvows. One seldom hears or readsthat there are approximately 2700 chaptersof 71 nationally recognized fraternities inthis country, and that the alumni registersof these organizations will reveal nearly900,000 names.Did the press pay tribute to college fraternities,and what they have meant to men,in the golden hour of triumph ? Did not thatintrepid explorer Admiral Peary plant theflag of A K E immediately beneath the Starsand Stripes as he stood at the North Pole?Pugsley and MayflowerHalls, dormitoriesforwomen[196]

HartzeU of the MethodistEpiscopal Church meant when heexclaimed at a gathering of his fraternitymates, "Fraternity among men is of God!"in O. Grover, Dartmouth, '94Professor at RollinsBut there is little news in all of this. Ittakes a disgruntled individual, and one ortwo aching pals, soundly denouncing thefraternity system to "break into print," andsmash through to the tune of two and threecolumns of space, and some vicious headlines.The man must bite the dog before itis news. What happened at Rollins Collegelast year has probably happened on anumber of college and university campusessince the birth of B K (the first socialfraternity), but because Rollins was obtainingconsiderable publicity as a result of its"Conference Plan" and the "New Curriculum,"it hardly could pass up anotherpublicity plum.I have been on the Rollins campus sincethe widely publicized "indictment" washanded to the public, and there was no indicationof a college or fraternity upheavalas a result. I am reliably informed that RqJlinsstudents and the majority of the facultyhave an attitude of utter and absolute indifferenceto the charges against the fraternities.No one apparently mentions them,and as far as the six fraternities and six sororitiesare concerned, it is a matter of noimport whatever. •If three men at RoUins CoUege had theirwiU executed, that charming, cultural institution,occupying 45 acres around LakeVirginia in Orange County, one of Florida'smost beautiful spots, would relieve itself offraternity houses. But the man who in six

198 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor February, 1933years has made Rollins into the most-talkedaboutsmaU college in America, has differentideas. If you don't know the man, it'sHamilton Holt. He even talks about W Y,his own fraternity; Alpha Delt, and A K Ecoming to Rollins.RoUins was founded in 1885, and up until1926, when Holt arrived, was a smaUchurch-supported school, with a tuition of$100 a year, and about 125 students, themajority of whom were women. Most ofthe students were from the state of Florida.Holt, former editor of the New York Independent,has provided phenomenal leadership,and today there are 445 students onthe Rollins campus who come from 33states. Sixty-one alone are from New York.Women have yielded the numerical supremacyand men now predominate at Rollins.The tuition fee is now $400 a year.In addition to building a large and sociallyprominent student body, President Holthas gathered about the college a very strongand distinguished board of trustees and anequally strong faculty. It would be fairerto say, perhaps, that Dr. Holt has built Rollinsnot so much around his own teemingpersonality as he has around progressiveeducational ideas, and it is generally admittedthat should Rollins lose Dr. Holt,the college and its ideals would be carriedforward by the able board of trustees and aloyal faculty..It is rather interesting that the criticismsof fraternities should come from a campuswhere fraternity fife has been rather mild.When Dr. Holt reached RoUins in 1926,there were only two fraternities, 0 K N,and a local, which in 1927 became K A(Southern). The K A chapter, incidentally,was installed by Dr. A. A. Murphree,predecessor as president of the Universityof Florida to O A 0's own distinguishedleader, John J. Tigert, Vamlerbilt, '04.In the early days of Rollins the small andfinancially weak student body produced noespecial need for fraternities, but at an almostunbelievable pace RoUins has beengrowing under the Holt administration.There are in addition to the two fraternitiesnamed, K (I* S, organized inFebruary, 1927; the X Club, organized in1929; Apr, and PAN, both organizedin 1930.There are six chapters' of outstanding sororitiesat Rollins, and a seventh, probablywiU go there this winter. F B, O ^l,n B O, X Q, A 0, and K K r are atpresent represented at Rollins.Holt is favorable to fraternities, and sois Winslow Anderson, dean of the College,and one of the founders of the © K N fraternity.Dr. Enyart, dean of men, sharesthe views of the administrative heads. Furthermorethese men are all strongly opposedto admitting young and weak nationalfraternities, and want only the betterones to come.Perhaps we have wandered away fromthis anti-fraternity compilation that wasborn in the breasts of three RoUins teachers,but there seems, truthfully, no reason tospend much time with it.Simply because this trio aired their sentimentsso often, President Holt asked thedissenters to "dig up" all the so-caUed evilsthey could discover against fraternities andsororities.All fraternities and sororities at Rollinshave filed replies to the indictment, andwhile a tabulated report of the pro-committeehas not been published, the elevenView of Rollins College from Lalte Virginia

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor February, 1933 199charges in the indictment, I am informed,have been answered remarkably weU, andin the opinion of several close to the situation,most successfully.It might be weU to say in further elaborationof Dr. Holt's attitude that he expressedan opinion that fraternities and sororitieswere "85 per cent to the good and possibly15 per cent on the other side." A great believerin frank, and open discussion, andwith a feeling that Rollins might discoversome way to reduce the 15 per cent to perhaps10 per cent. President Holt welcomedthe opportunity to render a possible service.He felt that if RoUins could muster the wisdomto reduce the 10 per cent to 5 per cent,a genuine service could be given to all nationalfraternities and sororities. It was inthis spirit that he appointed a committee,composed of the three who sounded thediscordant anti-fraternity notes, to bring ina report on the situation.Soon there wiU be something issued inthe nature of a counter-blow to the indictment,but as able an argument as it willprobably be, the press will not find any particularnews value therein. But one thingapparently is certain and that is that nofears need be entertained as to the status offraternities and sororities on the Rollinscampus.They have made an imprint; they willcontinue to thrive and do well there. Rollinsis not in any sense a competitor with thelarge and outstanding University of Floridawith its seven colleges and two schools andan enrollment of 2500 male students. RollinswiU always be a small, progressive, culturalcoUege with never more than 750students, and the A.B. degree will be theonly degree offered.It IS perhaps opportune to mention thatin the examinations of the American PsychologicalCouncil, Rollins in 1929 ranked42nd in a list of 131 colleges; in 1930 itranked 28th and in 1931 it ranked 27th.Among the coUeges in the Southern AssociationRollins stood fourth in 1929 and1930, and second in 1931, being surpassedonly by Sweet Briar CoUege. ApparentlyRollins, by its selective process, is gainingan unusually high quality of freshman students.A member of the State Board of Control,State of Florida, told me less than ayear ago that he believed RoUins wouldgive to America twice as many graduateswho would achieve real marks, as coUegesand universities elsewhere with three andfour times the student enroUment and thephysical equipment.New Hampshire Alpha of O A 0 hasproduced many able men, but one whom Iknow quite weU stands out not only an assetto his Fraternity, but to RoUins CoUege.That Phi, Dr. Edwin Osgood Grover,reveres his "argent and azure" and exemplifiesin his every word and deed the teachingsof the Bond. The influence of a man ofGrover's type is felt at Rollins College, andwe in O A 0 should be proud he is there.More Diificult to Get Charter—0 X AT ITS last convention made itmore difficult for petitioning locals when itraised its requirements from a two-thirdsvote to three-fourths.Man and Wife—THE case of George Banta, Jr., beingpresident of O A 0, while his wife serves ina similar capacity for K A 0 seems to havehad no exact paraUel in thfe history of Greekorganizations. Close paraUels however, maybe found in T K E, where Leland F. Lelandedits the magazine, while his wifeworks for the To Dragma of A O II, andin n K A, where K. D. Pulcipher editsthe Shield and Diamond and his wife isassociate editor of the Alfha Xi Delta.Thirty-six Years a Local—A 0 X AT THE University of Nebraskareceived a charter from X O, after havingbeen in existence as a local for thirty-sixyears. This is rather imusual, for after remaininga local over such a long period ofyears, fraternities usually remain withoutnational affiliation indefinitely.

Ohio Zeta Sets Enviable RecordByJOHN A. PRIOROhio State, '35OHIO ZETA has forged still farther beyondthe fraternity front at OhioState University, and in so doing,this chapter has rudely shattered all previousrecords for the recognition of outstandingmen in campus activities.At Ohio State University the most prominentmen in activities or athletics or bothare rewarded during their senior year orthe last of their junior year by membershipto the exclusive honorary fraternity. Sphinx,and those who have sparkled most brilliantlyin these same fields during their first twoyears on the campus are recognized by admissionto Bucket and Dipper, junior society.To be elected to Sphinx or Bucketand Dipper are the highest honors that canbe bestowed upon a senior or junior, respectively.A fraternity at this university is proud,and justly so, to have one of its memberselected to either of these groups, since thisrecognition is a good indication of its standingin the campus activity world. This yearfrom approximately eight hundred seniormen, only sixteen were elected to membership,and from an even larger number inthe junior class, fifteen were chosen for initiationto Bucket and Dipper.In spite of the bitter competition, OhioZeta placed three of its members in each ofFred Milligan,Ohio Slate, '28,Assistant Dean ofMen at Ohio State incharge of Fraternity Affairs.these honored societies, and it also had twomen among its seniors who had made Sphinxat the dose of their junior year. John D.Black, Thomas E. Ervin, and Wilbur Mahaffeywere elected to Sphinx last May, andStuart K. Holcomb and Ralston RusseU,both seniors, had made it the spring before.Carl Cramer, John L. Gushman, and PhillipJohnson were chosen for membership toBucket and Dipper.However, these men did not devote aU oftheir time to outside activities. The class of'32 was one of the most outstanding classesever to be initiated into Ohio Zeta. Headedby Edward Weaver, chapter president, thisclass placed A 0 at the top at Ohio State,and judging from the following classes, it isin no position to topple from the heights ithas attained. Also, there have been othermen of the senior class than these who havehelped the fraternity, inside and out, to reachits position on the campus.To do justice to the now-graduated class,we must tell a little about the activities ofthese men, both their work in the chapterand on the campus. To head one of thefinest classes of O A 0, Ohio Zeta had EdwardWeaver. He has undoubtedly beenone of the greatest presidents that the localchapter has recently had in office, and certainlyhas been the strongest and most capa-

202 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor February, 1933ble leader of the past few years. Along withhis duties in the chapter. Weaver has playedfootball and basketball. Weaver has been apowerful leader of a fine class.John Black has spent many long hours astreasurer during the past year keeping thechapter accounts in good order. He has beena splendid fraternity man, and his activitieshave been unsurpassed. Among them. Blackwas president of the senior class, captain ofthe varsity track team, member of Sphinx,Bucket and Dipper, varsity "O," homecomingcommittee, and B F Z, commerce scholastichonorary.At the head of the class in scholarship wasThomas Ervin. Tom was elected to Sphinxand 0 B K last spring, and within the chapterhe was the historian and pledge adviser.Among his activities were: president ofn Z A, honorary political science fraternity,member of C) H Z and toastmasters, andsecretary of the student Y.M.C.A.Stuart Holcomb was house manager forthe past year and was very active in chapteraffairs. "Stu" was captain of the '31 footballteam, playing as halfback, and a memberof the basketball team. He was electedto Bucket and Dipper at the close of his secondyear, and was made a member of Sphinxa year later. He was a member of the studentsenate. "Hole" was a fine leader inwhatever he undertook.Another all-round member of the classof '32 was Ralston RusseU. He played basketballand track for three years. Russellwas a member of Sphinx, T B H, honoraryengineering fraternity, Texnikoi, Keramos,American Society of Ceramical Engineers,and O H Z.Those who foUow this remarkable classhave, so far, gained more than their share ofrecognition. Carl Cramer made Bucket andDipper by his spectacular play as varsityquarterback. At this position he made themythical all-Western Conference team andwas given honorable mention on GrantlandRice's aU-American eleven. Jack Gushman,Bucket and Dipper, was elected president ofOhio Zeta for 1932-33 and secretary offraternity affairs. PhiUip Johnson, also amember of Bucket and Dipper, was appointedbusiness manager of the Sun DialO.S.U. humor magazine.Ohio Zeta was the first chapter on thecampus to adopt a preceptor system in whichan outstanding graduate student is appointedto help the undergraduate studentsin their studies. Although this developmentis still in an embryonic stage, it has provenvery helpful, and the lead of this Phi Dehchapter has been followed by several otherfraternities at the university.Did You Know?THAT THE FIRST Convention of 0 A 0was held in Cincinnati at the WoodruffHouse, December 30, 1851. Two chapters,Ohio Alpha and Indiana Alpha, were representedby seven men. Benjamin Harrisonwas secretary. a—1THAT THE FIRST catalogue of 0 A 0was published in i860 in Louisville, Kentucky,and edited by Robert Morrison.

They were known asBicameral chapters.

Aside from this, he pitchedwinning ball for O A 0 nines every spring.There was sufficient reason to mourn hisdeparture.However, when Boe got his first coachingjob at Thief River Falls, he discovereda boy who was soon to make amends backat the old Alma Mater.

His first attempt at athleticswon him a numeral in both freshman footballand basketball. In his sophomore year,he was a regular guard in footbaU andearned aU-c6nference selection. In basketballhe kept plugging but failed to make aletter. He repeated his aU-conference performanceat left guard as a junior and thenproceeded to replace a letterman at theguard post on the basketbaU team. Here,too, was he chosen to an all-conferenceberth.It seemed almost natural that he be selectedto captain both teams during his senioryear and the natural thing followed.

ERNST, Columbia, '99,is not only a successful attorney, buthe is likewise one of the well-knownmagicians of New York. Ernst is knownto his old time friends of the Fraternity as"Bernie." He was prominent in chapter Ufeand in the general meetings of the Fraternityfor a number of years after his graduation,having been chosen as president of AlphaProvince. Those members of the Fraternitywho met him at that time wiU recaUhim with great pleasure.Born in Uniontown, Alabama, in 1879,he was prepared for coUege at Uniontownand in the New York pubhc schools. In1892, he entered the College of the Cityof New York where he studied until 1897when he entered the junior class at Columbia.He received his Bachelor of Arts degreefrom Columbia in 1899 and his Law degreein 1903. At Columbia he was a member ofthe track and lacrosse teams and class basebaUteam. He won his varsity "C" in the[206]high jump event. He was editor of the ColumbiaJester and business manager of theColumbia Monthly.In public speaking lines, Ernst, however,won his greatest successes. For five successiveyears, he was a member of the Columbiadebating teams which met and defeatedChicago, Cornell, and the University ofPennsylvania.In 1920 he was elected a life member ofthe Society of American Magicians. Uponnomination by Houdini in 1926 he waselected president of Parent Assembly ofMagicians, to succeed Houdini after the latter'sdeath.

EDITORIALSA RECENT NEWS ITEMCorbus coming to our desk runsScores as follows: "New Orleans.—Declaringcollegefootball players should receive remuneration,25 students attending thenational student federation congresshere adopted a resolution favoringscholarships for such athletes. Theresolution, offered by William Corbus,1932 all-American player ofStanford university, expressed theopinion that the scholarships shouldnot exceed the cost of room, board, andtuition."We congratulate Brother Corbusfor having both the courage of his convictionsand the courage thus openly toexpress them. THE SCROLL doesn'tpropose to enter on any crusade in regardto college athletics or other controvertedtopics.But let's be honest about this!As Scott Williams' story about earlyfootball days at Illinois on anotherpage of this issue would indicate, footballand other collegiate sports havenow become Barons of Business andKings of Commerce. With millions ofinvestment, with the services ofcoaches who may receive as much asor more than the presidents of the respectiveinstitutions, with the nervousenergy of a year crowded into a feverishtwo months every fall, the worldof college and university athletics isripe for a change. But what sort of achange?It is not too much to say that a certainMid-Western university, wherePhi Delta Theta does not have a chapter,has become nationally famous forthe character of its football teams. To[209]give its name would be superfluous.Most colleges and universities financetheir "minor Sports" from the Midastouchof King Football. The touch isnot so golden now and minor sportsare being curtailed. But giant gymnasiums,stadiums, and field houseshave been erected with the goldenstream that flows in the fall.The heart and soul of all this phenomenonthat is America is elevenmen in sixty minutes of intermittentlystrenuous activity on a field 300 feetlong. That is the human factor. Do wetreat it humanely?These men are called on for everyounce they can give. All else for twomonths becomes subordinated to theinsatiable demands of football. It isrumored—^we hope it is nothing more—that a recent "Big Ten" coach administeredadrenalin to his players to"win the game." The die-for-dearold-Rutgerstends to become die-fordear-old-gate-receipts.What these students led by BrotherCorbus are asking is reasonable. Subsidizinghas reached an infinity of refinementand subtlenessj from the oldclassic of winding the campus eightdayclock on down.The only valid substitute we can seeis to cease our intercollegiate programsand return to the intramural systemswhich are being so splendidly built upnow in many schools. And needless tosay, alumni would never get undulyenthusiastic about a hockey game betweenthe first and second floor dormitoryteams. So, if we keep the presentscheme of intercollegiate contests—and it looks as if we would—^why.Let's be honest about it!

RooseveltBy B.G.LEAKEChicago, '01President ofIotaProvincethe courage of one whofights for his convictions,with no thought of selfishrewards.In February visions ofhis young manhood werefulfilled when, on the 27thof that month, our newlyelected President officiallyHarold L. Ickes, Ctticago, '97ON A crisp fall day, about four decadesago, a young man entered the portalsof old Cobb Hall, at the Universityof Chicago, there to launch a careerthat has carried him to the highest honors.Modestly dressed, unassuming in appearance,and rather shy, there was nothing apparentto the casual observer to set himapart from the throng of young studentsgathered there for registration. However, akeen observer would have seen pride andself-confidence in his quiet manner. Hewould have read determination and willpower in the firm mouth and strong chin,and in the set of the jaw would have found[24+]announced his appointmentto one of the mostimportant offices in ourgovernment. PresidentRoosevelt, in his choice ofHarold Le Clair Ickes,Chicago, '97, as Secretaryof the Interior, went outsideparty lines to select aman whose ability and integritywere so unquestioned as to fit himabove others for that important portfoliowhich has control of the great natural resourcesof the country. It is indeed a fittingreward for the gallant fight against specialprivilege and blind party allegiance thatBrother Ickes has led for many years.He should have been a staunch Republican.For many years all branches of thevon Ickes family, that came to this countrywith WiUiam Penn, lived around Ickesburg,Pennsylvania. They were all "LincolnBlack Republicans." In spite of this heredityBrother Ickes mapped his own course, andwith fearless determination threw off party

Chooses Phi as Cabinet Member* Harold L. Ickes, ChicagoBecomes Secretary ofthe Interiorprejudice with its binding shackles and hasfollowed a path of political independencewith no thought of personal reward.Although he has taken an active interestin politics ever since his college days, whenhe left school for several weeks in his senioryear to assist in the campaign of JohnMaynard Harlan, he has never built a permanentpolitical organization, nor does heintend to do so now, or at any future time.His organizations have always been builtafresh, to meet the demands, generally fromthe group of independent thinkers.He has been known in Chicago as "theSecretary Ickes and His Familyteit to riglil: Secretary Ickes, Raymond Ickes, Mrs. Re Qua Bryant, Wilmarth and Robert Ickes, Mrs. Ickes.

246 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor April, 1933Lone Wolf" of politics. One could nevertell in advance where he would stand, exceptthat it would always be on the side ofpolitical freedom. He has backed and ledmany a "forlorn hope" in local politics,knowing in advance tljat his cause couldnot win, but giving to it, freely and wholeheartedly,his untiring efforts, in protestagainst the graft-ridden political machine.For the past ten years he has waged a bitterand determined fight against the moves ofthe great InsuU interests to build up dominationof local politics.In 1912 Brother Ickes was an active advocateof Theodore Roosevelt when he wasthe "Bull Moose" candidate for the Presidency;in 1916 he followed Hughes; in1920 and 1924 he led the state campaign forHiram Johnson's nomination; in 1928 hesupported Al Smith. In the 1932 campaignhe organized in Chicago the National ProgressiveLeague for Roosevelt and Garner.At that time he had never met Mr.Roosevelt, nor was he influenced in his organizationby any individual. He had madea careful study of Roosevelt's record, andreached the conclusion that Roosevelt wasone who had the honest desire to better thecondition of the average American. Oncethat conclusion was reached, he plungedwith enthusiasm into the details of the campaign,working untiringly day and night forits success. Those who have been connectedwith his various campaigns say that theyhave never before encountered such capacityfor detail and hard work.The executive work of the Departmentof the Interior with its far-flung organizationoffers an outlet for the energy andability of Brother Ickes. Not only will hisnew work appeal to him for this reason, butalso because he sees in it a great opportunityto help men to better their conditions. It isdoubtful if any appointment could have beenmade by the President that would havebrought greater enthusiasm or such independentunbiased thought to his Cabinet,and it is indeed fortunate that he was a bigenough man to look beyond party expediencyin his choice of Brother Ickes, for bythis choice he will be assured of the uttermostindependent loyalty, frankness, and devotion.As may be readily imagined, the characteristicsthat have molded such an unusualand outstanding individual, were not theresult of a life of ease and luxury, but ratherthe product of self-denial, a determination tosucceed, and enthusiastic hard work. Althoughcompelled to work his own waythrough the University, Brother Ickes, or"Clair," as he was then known on the campus,not only maintained an unusually highscholastic record, but also took a deep interestin extracurricular activities. He was editorof the Caf and Gown, manager of the trackteam, and took a leading part in campuspolitics.By the time Clair had reached his senioryear, several of the leading national fraternitieshad established chapters at Chicago.Although he had ample opportunity to jointhese, none of them seemed to offer himthe connections that he desired, so he heldhimself aloof. Finally, after discussing thematter with his roommate William "Billy"Wilson, he decided to organize his owngroup, and then to petition one of the strongnational fraternities, for a charter. As a result"Clair" and "Billy," after carefulselection, gathered about them Stacy Mosser,Harvey Peterson, Carl Sawyer, CharlesBliss, Lester Fulton, Knight Flanders, andCharles Stockey.This group made a thorough investigationof the fraternity field and were unanimousin their decision to petition O A 0,for the reestablishment of Illinois Beta,which had been originally chartered at theold University of Chicago in 1865. Withthe active aid of several strong alumni theysucceeded in getting favorable action ontheir plea, and on February 18, 1897, thecharter for the reestablishment of the chap-

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor April, 1933 247ter was granted, and the petitioning groupwas initiated. Among those who took partin that memorable event was Frank J. R.Mitchell, Northwestern, '96, our presentalumni commissioner, and Past President ofthe General Council. With Clair as chapterpresident, Illinois Beta soon took a leadingposition on the campus. Since that time hehas always had the interests of $ A 0 andIllinois Beta deeply in his heart.During the World War the entire activemembership of Illinois Beta went into service.The chapter was put on a war basis,and the charter was held in trust by theGeneral Council. At the close of the warthe conditions on the Chicago campus werevery critical. There was a strong sentimentin the Fraternity against the return of thecharter. Many felt that the big city universitieswere not suitable for the proper developmentof the best chapters. Against thisstrong opposition Brother Ickes made a determinedand successful stand and at last,through his untiring efforts, the charter wasrestored. Again Illinois Beta had "Clair" tothank for its existence.For some time after his graduationBrother Ickes followed newspaper work onone of the Chicago papers as sports reporterand assistant sports editor. A vacancy occurredon the political desk. Fred Wilde,whom we often hear over the radio, and"Clair" both applied for the job. Clair got it.There, as assistant political editor, he learnedmuch of the practical side of politics, andmade many connections that proved of greatvalue in his later campaigns. After severalyears, having saved sufficient money for hispurpose, he gave up his work with the press,and again returned to the University ofChicago where he studied law, graduating,cum laude, in 1907. Since that time BrotherIckes has practiced law, maintaining hisown office in Chicago, from which centerhe directs his many interests.Brother Ickes is married and has fourchildren, Raymond, Wilmarth, Robert, andMrs. Re Qua Bryant. In his wife he findsa most congenial kindred spirit, for AnnaWilmarth Ickes is, in her own right, wellknown as a political leader, and for manyyears has held high elective offices. She hasbeen on the board of trustees of the stateuniversity, and at the present time is amember of the legislature. On their beautifulWinnetka estate both find relaxationfrom their arduous political life, in theirfamous dahlia gardens.WWMo^^''^mi^FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA., March I 7.

One year some miscreants spiked thelemonade with gin, and the almost universallydry attendants at the party enjoyed themild exhilaration so much, without knowingof the crime, that the lemonade lastedonly halfway through the dance and theycouldn't duplicate the lemonade because allthe gin had been used.

What PhiHas MeantDelta ThetaTo MeALUMNI COMMISSIONER Frank J. R.J\ Mitchell has again this year performeda service to the Fraternity incollecting the tributes to O A 0 which appearbelow. It will be recalled that last yearseveral dozen prominent Phis, whose namesappear elsewhere in this issue, similarly contributedto a symposium.IN YEARS it is indeed a long^ time since I enteredthe portals of Wisconsin Alpha in 1890.And of course in the minds of the undergraduatesI am classed among- the old fossils whosearteries and brain cells have become hardenedand set in the traditions of the early nineties.I remember distinctly how we used to lookupon the old grads of 30 or 40 years prior to ourtime. They seemed far removed from our waysof living and we found it difficult to reach anycommon ground on which to fraternize. TheyGilbert T. HodgesWisconsin, '94£252]wanted to reminisce about their days, about conditionsand personnel of which we were whollyignorant. On the other hand, we were completelyimbued with present conditions, with things doingnow and with which the alumni of the oldergeneration were entirely out of touch.And then their dress and tonsorial equipmentwas so different from ours that they were somewhatof a curiosity In our eyes.You can imagine therefore that our associationwa:s rather embarrassing on both sides. We triedand they tried to exercise diplomacy and tolerationbut we were all relieved when the tryingvisits were ended.As an alumnus I used to return each yearfor the homecoming footbaU game. The firstfour years, of course, I found brothers who werein college during my time and our reunions werehappy indeed. The next ten years or so wheneverI knocked,on the fraternity house door and announcedmyself I was most warmly welcomedwith exclamations such as "Hello, Gil, we'veheard all about you. Come right In and meet thefellows," and jolly times were had.But then, came the day when I knocked on thedoor and said "My name Is Gil Hodges." "Yes?"replied the young man with a blank expression,and as if he were saying to himself, "What ofit?" I hastened to assure him. "I am one of yourbrother alumni. I used to live here." Without atrace of recognition he ushered me In and presentedme to my brothers in the Bond. Not a oneof them had heard of me or of my deeds ofprowess while at the University.It became necessary for me to recount themall, which I am ashamed to say I did.In order to prove my Identity we looked upsome of the old group pictures which had almostfaded out of existence, and I pointed out a six-foot,cadaverous looking person with a shaggy mustacheand said, "That's me." Well, they were extremelynice and hospitable to me, but my pride hadreceived a terrible shock.I didn't get over it for many years, and as aresult lacked the courage to go back.But two years ago I happened to be in Madisonon business and of course called on my Fraternity.This time I had no false pride and didnot expect to be remembered. I introduced myself

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor April, 1933 253and told the boys to go right on with whateverthey were doing—that I simply wanted to sit in,and join in whatever it might be—that I didn'twant to be a guest, but just one of them. Theytook me at my word, and I wandered throughthe house joining one group after another, withoutinterrupting whatever was doing.We finally all sat down to lunch where it wasunderstood in advance that there would be nospeech making by the old grad telling them abouthow he used to do it in the Gay 'Nineties. As aresult, there was a full attendance at lunch.Later in the day a few of us took a walk abouttown calling on such well known citizens as PeteHamacher, Mayor Schmedeman (now Governor),Louis Hobbins, Stanley Hanks, Glenn Frank,"Reg" Jackson, Giddy Gernon, and Burnie Chapman.We worshipped at the shrines of TommyMorgan and Syd Rundell, and had a wonderfultime. For one full day the calendar was turnedback and I became once more an active memberof our local chapter.We all did just what we wanted to do. Noone was bored by reminiscences—^no one was censoringany of the activities. No one was on hisparticular good behavior. Everybody acted natural,including myself.I had such a good time that It was difficultfor me to return to the realities of life. I wantedto go on and live it all over again.That can't be done, but the next best thing toit, is to get a taste of it as often as possible.My problem with reference to my chapterhas been solved, and I shall take advantage ofevery opportunity to return.And that brings me to the crux of this matter,namely, what * A 0 has done for me. It hastaught me the value of friendship and the importanceof remaining young. Furthermore, it hasfurnished the secret for achieving both.There has been a great leveling process goingon in this country for the past 50 years. We areno longer a great aggregation of small communities,with separate modes of living and mannersof speech. On the contrary, we are now onebig composite community wherein we all livealike, think alike, talk alike, dress alike and eatalike. More important, however, is the levelingprocess that has been going on with referenceto ages.The young and the old no longer live in differentworlds wherein they have separate likes anddislikes—different styles of dress and diflFerentsports and recreations.No! We no longer get old—at least not thoseof us who wish to stay on the firing line. As wegrow older in years we keep stepping down andmeeting the new generation, absorbing their enthusiasmand ideas, and interesting ourselves intheir lives and activities.Our real friends who have stood by us throughthick and thin have been our Fraternity brothersof our own college days. And our Fraternitybrothers of latter days have kept us ever young.And so my suggestion to all alumni is—keepin touch with your local chapters—^make friendswith your brothers while they are undergraduates.They will be invaluable to you in after years,when the members of your own time have passedon. They constitute the fountain of youth j takeadvantage of it.Of course, up to now I have been thinking entirelyin terms of self. And why not? We alumnihave to think of ourselves if we are to survive.But it's not one-sided by any means. There areequal compensations for the undergrads.Friendships made with the alumni while youare in college will likewise be invaluable to youwhen you are struggling to get started in thebusiness world. And such friendships are so easyto make. Just a little attention and interest to anold grad works wonders. They are very susceptibleand respond immediately.To the undergrad I suggest that you deliberatelymake as many substantial contacts with yourbrother alumni as possible, with the view of makinguse of their counsel and advice, and theirknowledge and experience in after years. Add tothat your own energy and enthusiasm and you'vegot a combination impossible to beat.

HODGES, Wisconsin, '94—member of the executive board of the NetvYork Sun; president of the Advertising Federationof America.I KNOW of nothing which will make us "renewour pledges in ^ A 0" so much as to havea son enter college and join the old chapter.

But we still do havecertain intangible values which, if not neglected,remain constant. Among these are the fraternalfriendships formed in our younger days whichare unaffected by the flight of time.

HerbertjohnsonfAbleBy GEORGE T.STREET, JR.Denison, '18Cartoonist Johnson athis drawing boardPERHAPS most people think of a successfulcartoonist as a natural-born funnyman who just can't help it. HerbertJohnson, Nebraska, '03, for twenty yearsstaff editorial cartoonist of the largest magazinein the world, and one of the highestpaid men in his field, takes this notion by thecollar and the seat of the pants and chucks itout the window."I never had any particular desire to bethe village cut-up, or to make people laugh,"said Mr. Johnson to the interviewer whovisited him at his studio. "I always drew,even from earliest childhood. As I grew oldenough to have any definite ambition mydesire was to be a painter of animals. Mychoice was equally divided between wildwest subjects and beasts of the jungle. Myearliest ideals were Rosa Bonheur andFrederic Remington. Today I still have anunabated urge to draw and paint animals,though now my ideals might be WilhelmKuhnert, Charles R. Knight, or that greatpainter of American big game, Carl Rungius.I always envied my friend, CharlesLivingston Bull, the work which he did andthe life of a naturalist incidental to it.""But I became a cartoonist because Ienjoyed drawing story-telling pictures. I[2 60 JWalt Masonon Johnson as an UndergraduateCartoonist"Mr. Johnson, the able cartoonistof the Arrowhead, isone of the best portrait artistsin this country. When he makesa picture of a man it is notnecessary to label it. Many ofthe best cartoonists in theUnited States are poor handsat striking a resemblance whentrying to caricature anybody.The faces in Judge and Ptickoften have a wooden appearance,showing that they weretraced from photographs.Johnson can beat any of thecelebrated comic artists in thisline of work."—Nebraska StateJournal, December 2, 1900.found that it was possible for me to inventcartoon ideas, make drawings to illustratethem with sufficient wit and humor to finda market. It was the easiest way to makemoney that I knew, and I needed money.The demand for my output as a cartoonisthas always been a few jumps ahead of my

Saturday Evening Post Cartoonistcapacity to produce and I have never hadtime from it to do the thing I most wantedto do."Herbert Johnson was born at Sutton, Nebraska,in 1878. His father, J. W. Johnsonwas the owner and editor of a weeklynewspaper published at Sutton. J. W. Johnsonwas a leader in the political thought ofNebraska, one of the founders of ProgressiveRepublicanism in that state, and a lifelongadmirer and follower of TheodoreRoosevelt and Bob LaFollette.Young Johnson's education was interrupted.He never went to high school butentered the Western Normal College, nearLincoln, Nebraska, where he took coursesin the rudiments of pen and ink drawingHerbert Johnson, Nebraska, *03REPRODUCED BY SPECIAL PERMISSION OF THE SATURDAY EVENING POST, COPYEIGHT CURTIS PUBUSHING COMPANYA typical Johnson cartoon[261]

One ofhis fellow students atthe Western NormalCollege wasClare Briggs, a fewyears Johnson's senior, who also was destinedto become a famous cartoonist. UnlikeJohnson, Briggs was a natural-born funnyman. Caricature was his ideal and he becamea master of it.The necessity to contribute to the familyincome took Johnson out of the WesternNormal College to take a course in stenographywith a view to becoming stenographerin the office of his father, who at that timewas secretary of the Nebraska State Boardof Transportation. Another job presenteditself, however, and Johnson became clerkand bookkeeper in a little general store atCurtis, Nebraska.From there, on one of his vacations toDenver, he visited the office of the DenverRefublican to call on the cartoonist, Mr.Wilmarth. Johnson had no thought of beinga cartoonist, but was eager to see a livespecimen of that profession. Mr. Wilmarthseemed to take it for granted that the seventeenyear old boy was looking for a job. Heasked to see some of his sketches. YoungJohnson was delighted to comply, went outand bought some Bristol board, some Higginsink, and a Crowquill pen, and in hishotel bedroom produced several of his characteristiccow-boy pictures, plunging mustangs,hairy chaps, six-guns belching, fuUof action and incident. Wilmarth cast anappraising eye over the stuff and opined thatthere "might be something," and that thejob as assistant cartoonist paid $20 a week.There is a well-defined impression in Johnson'smind that he floated out of the windowand wafted to the street without ever touchingthe staircase. Be this as it may, it is afact that he got the job.This was in the summer of 1896.

He visitedChicago, wandering from newspaper oflSceto newspaper office without finding a joband finally went to Kansas City where helanded as artist on the staff of the KansasCity Journal and soon became head of boththe art and engraving departments. KindheartedPhil Creager, the telegraph editor,wrote a little piece about Herbert Johnsonas the youngest manager of a newspaper artdepartment in the country, which wasprinted in the Inland Printer of Chicago.When J. W. Johnson, at Lincoln, Nebraska,saw this article about his son, withportrait and everything, he was so proudthat he bought up all the copies of the InlandPrinter in town, intending to mailthem to all his friends. The first burst ofparental pride passing, the Inland Printerswere forgotten until they turned up at housecleaning time each spring for years thereafter.And now THE SCROLL man sharpensanother pencil because here is where O A 0enters the picture. Herbert Johnson wasbound to get an education. The magnificentart schools which have since grown upthroughout the Middle West were not thenin existence. Johnson would have preferredto attend an art school and learn to paint,but he realized that he must take whatevereducation he could get. Both of his parentshaving been school teachers in their youth,their son had been brought up with a tastefor reading good books and had done a lotof it. Having saved a little money he decidedto go back to Lincoln, where his familythen Hved, his father being at that timeRegister of the United States Land OfiBce.Johnson entered the University of Nebraskaas a "special" student. He became associatedwith a young campus weekly, called theArrowhead, as managing editor and cartoonist.Johnson joined O A 0 and madehis home at the fraternityhouse. Duringthe less than twoyears which he spentat the University ofNebraska, Brother

264 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor April, 1933Johnson was one of the outstanding men ofthe Fraternity and of his class. His work inthe Arrowhead kept things stirred up andthe reverberations extended beyond thelimits of university circles.A red-hot campaign was on to elect aUnited States senator. A candidate whomthe fair-haired young editors of the Arrowheadregarded as unfit was in a fair way toseize the prize. The Arrowhead beganprinting cartoons which attracted immediateattention throughout the state. Because noother cartoons were at that time publishedin the state the Arrowhead's pictorial assaultswere gleefully welcomed by the opponentsof the "undesirable" candidate andwere circulated widely throughout the state.Considerable excitement ensued. Universityappropriations were threatened by thedominant elements in the dead-locked legislature,and the demand was made that theArrowhead be suppressed by the Universityauthorities. The Arrowhead was not suppressedand eventually the campaign endedby the "undesirable" withdrawing as a candidate,though he was able to name thesenator.Editorially in the newspapers of Lincoln,Herbert Johnson's cartoons were accordeda substantial share of the credit for the outcomeof the senatorial dead-lock. Besideshis political cartoons he had also made numerouscaricature portraits of professors andothers prominent in University life andvarious sketches and cartoons which, withan occasional stolen moment for his studies,kept the young man on the jump, though hefound time to serve a term as president ofhis chapter.There used to hang on the wall of theold O A 0 house, at Lincoln, and perhapsstill does, a framed diploma conferring thehonorable, or dishonorable, degree of Masterof Prevarication, or words to that effect.That diploma bore Johnson's name. "At adinner," Johnson related, "given in honorof O A 0 by another fraternity, A 0 X,I think it was, a contest was held to seewho could invent or remember the biggestlie. Each guest was required to contributehis yarn. The diploma to be awarded to thewinner was a handsome document, beautifullyengrossed all in due form with plentyof Latin and ornamental penmanship.When the vote was taken it was my namethat was filled in as the winner of the prize.The incident sticks in my memory for twothings. One is the embarrassment inflictedupon me by curious co-eds who couldn'tunderstand why I didn't want to repeat forthem the winning story; the other is the factthat the genial toastmaster who wrote myname on the diploma, then an instructor inlaw at the University of Nebraska, was noneother than Roscoe Pound, now the very distinguisheddean of the Law School at Harvard."The expected happened. The youth withso many irons in the fire, who never knewwhen to go to bed, was getting so far behindhis studies that he couldn't see the restof the class for dust. His health went smashand he departed for California to mend it.Johnson spent a year or two in the Southwest,working in the mountains, and servingas city editor of a newspaper at Tucson;and finally, via his old job at Kansas City,he made his way to New York, where hearrived January 3, 1903, twenty-three yearsold, still dreaming of art school and of becominga painter of animals.New York was more hospitable than tomost job-seekers. The dingy Harlem bedroomwas quite according to the story-bookversions, but his cartoons sold. The firstweek he drew five and sold one to hije tor$45.00. The second week brought a $50.00sale, the fourth week a double page at$80.00. Luck varied, however, for whenLije rejected his drawings the possibilitieselsewhere were poor. Meantime, the cartoonskept him too busy making a living toattend art school, though he managed to acquirea very considerable and rare technicalknowledge of horses. The editors of Lijeliked horse drawings, and the young cartooniststudied points, breeds, types, and action,not stopping until he knew carriages,harness, saddles, and equipment as well asany groom ever did. In fact he traced thewhole evolution of transportation.Two years passed by and he sought addi-

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor April, 1933 265Vp from the Pond to the Garden. Morningside Farmtional opportunities in Philadelphia. Hisability to draw horses, and particularly tomake them funny, brought him a commissionfrom the North American to do a dailyseries of sketches at the horse show. Thisled to a permanent job, but he carefully reservedtwo days a week for art classes, stillclinging to his old ambition. Almost immediatelythe "front page Sunday comic"man vacated his job, and Brother Johnsonwas drafted to take his place. This endedhis last serious effort to study. He was giventhe assistant art directorship in charge ofSunday art, and later became front pagepolitical cartoonist, staying with the NorthAmerican until he left to join the SaturdayEvening Post seven years later.North American political cartoons wereinstitutional. The cartoon ideas were evolvedin editorial conference. Sometimes Johnson'ssuggestions were used but oftener theywere not. He began to consider the largeropportunities of the magazine field. Therewere few magazine cartoonists at that time,but illustration was a wide and temptingfield. Our hero took one of the cartoon ideaswhich had been rejected by the editor ofthe North American for one of his own,made a rough pencil sketch of it and showedit to Mr. Lorimer, the editor of the SaturdayEvening Post. Mr. Lorimer liked theidea and expressed a desire to see a finisheddrawing of it. This was executed, accepted,and published in the Saturday Evening Post,in November, 1911. From that time Johnsoncontributed occasional cartoons to thePost and Country Gentleman until, abouta year later, he was invited to join the staffof the Saturday Evening Post as art editorand cartoonist, which he did, December 12,1912.After three years he relinquished his workas art editor to devote full time to the responsibilitiesof staff editorial cartoonist, andin that capacity he has done the work thathas made his name familiar to many millions.Brother Johnson's work is of two types.He prepares regular editorial cartoons, usuallyfound facing the editorial page of the

266 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor April, 1933Saturday Evening Post, and special cartoonillustrations for articles, biographies, andsuch editorial matter.In the preparation of the regular cartoons,he develops ideas on subjects he thinksshould be treated. He roughs out three orfour of these—possibly even more—as pencilsketches. The sketch is merely a diagramof the idea and no attempt at compositionor drawing is made. An idea, or ideas, beingimproved, Johnson works up the finisheddrawing at his studio and sends it in.No editorial suggestions of cartoon ideas aremade. On rare occasions the editor may expressa desire to treat some subject in acartoon, but the idea is left to the cartoonist'singenuity. Inventing ideas is the mostimportant part of the cartoonist's job. Anidea being approved, the execution of thedrawing may require the better part of aweek. Usually it takes about two days ormore. Sometimes in a special hurry Johnsonhas done a Post cartoon in a day, but this isextremely rare.These regular editorial cartoons are usuallyrun weekly, though the editor sometimesuses two or three in a single issue.The schedule may also be broken by thenecessity for preparing illustrations for anarticle; otherwise the cartoon is a weeklyfeature. No partisan cartoons are permitted,but Johnson may treat issues as vigorously ashe pleases. His personal taste and the relativeimportance of the subjects have led himto deal mainly with business and economicproblems.The illustrations for articles are a differentmatter. The cartoonist receives a telephonecall to come to the office and read amanuscript that has been received. As a rulehe knows how the article and its illustrationsare to be used, and draws accordingly.After a first scanning of the article to get itsdrift and the high points, Johnson reads ita second time with great care, noting ideasthat will convey the author's purpose, anddetails of fact that can be used. He jotsdown captions that are suggestive, andother needed material out of the article.Thus equipped, he returns to his studio,makes the finished drawings, and turns themin. Rarely he may be asked to submitsketches first.As he has an exclusive contract with theSaturday Evening Post, he is unable to acceptother work except by special permission.Some outstanding advertising campaignshave been built up around drawingsthat carry his familiar signature.Many requests come to Brother Johnsonfor the originals of his cartoons, whichhe is unable to grant as a general rule. Apresidential request is honored, of course, ora request from any very prominent personagewith a particular interest in the subjectof the cartoon. Most of his fan mail comesfrom business men, with many letters fromyoung artists and their parents. With a fewexceptions the comments are commendatory,and practically never anonymous.Every fan letter is answered.There was one amusing instance of widespreadcriticism. In picturing the excessivetechnicality of legal procedure, the artistslipped into the familiar error of writing"council" where he meant "counsel." Theword occurred none too conspicuously in a"balloon" issuing from the mouth of oneof the characters. Rather to his delight thanotherwise, a flood of letters came to himfrom members of the legal fraternity far andwide, including a justice of a state supremecourt, none of them taking exception to hisattack, none praising his keen analysis of afault, but all with one accord begging toset him straight on his spelling, thus runningtrue to form and proving Mr. Johnson'spoint. On another occasion a candidatefor the presidency was greatly offended bya cartoon in which he appeared. He threatenedlegal action against the Post, but theincident blew over.For more than ten years Brother Johnsonhas done all of his work in his own studioat "Morningside Farm," Huntingdon Valley,Pennsylvania, about sixteen miles northof Philadelphia. His 56 acres lie a short distancefrom the world-famous Bryn AthynCathedral, adjoining the estate of the manwhose means and taste sponsored that architecturalmasterpiece. With a commandingview over hills and valleys, "Morningside

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor April, 1933 267Farm" has features that should make anyartist happy. The owner personally plannedthe landscape details, including a charminglake, and thousands of trees have been setout on his hills.The studio itself is a separate building andis excellently planned for the purpose. It israther more businesslike and practical thanmost studios, but the atmosphere is not lacking.Trophies that hang on the walls, hesays, were given to him; he is a lover ofnature and wild animals and he has no desireto kill any of them. While his secretarytakes care of correspondence and suppliesand the files of countless drawings, he sitsat his big board just inside a fine broad windowand puts on paper the ideas that are tomake millions of people think in spite ofthemselves.Brother Johnson admits having writtena few articles, and he is frequently calledupon to lecture and to talk to groups. Heis a Rotarian but has gradually withdrawnfrom most of the many societies and clubsof which he has been a member, exceptinga few art groups and country clubs. He isa Republican with independent views, butfavors reform efforts, when any are necessary,within his party rather than otherwise.He is an active and interested member ofthe Society of Friends. A nearby amateurdramatic organization claims some of hisleisure time both as a director and as aplayer. Their riding horses and the lake provideexercise and recreation for the family,and they delight in long motoring trips.Mrs. Johnson was Miss Helen Turner, ofPhiladelphia. Two daughters, HerbertaHoUingsworth Johnson and KatharineTurner Johnson, are students at BeaverCollege. They show no inclination to seekcareers as artists.Commenting freely on the importance ofthe cartoon, Brother Johnson points outthat its status has changed greatly in recentyears. Formerly it was a barbed weapon inthe hands of newspapers and political organizationsfor use in a partisan way. Thepublisher has come to realize, however, thathe is a merchant selling news, and he isaverse to alienating his readers or antagonizingany large part of the public by the useof cartoons of too partisan a character. Theresult is that the political cartoon of todayis generally an amiable jest, without bite,sting, or kick, and consequently of diminishingpolitical influence.It is for this reason that Johnson in hisown cartoons devotes himself to the expositionof economic and business situationsrather than to politics. Instead of beingmerely funny, he tries to be interesting andamusing, of course, but particularly hestrives to make clear to the popular mindobscure underlying truths of national andinternational problems. A Johnson cartoonwhich a Mutt-and-Jeff fan would pass bywithout a glance may be one which bringsletters of enthusiastic appreciation from importantbusiness leaders and men of affairs.From Our Phi Delt Town DepartmentTHE SCROLL probably started somethingin running a story in the February issueabout the plentitude and prominence of Phisin Emporia, Kansas. Correspondents elsewhereare assuming that Emporia must bein Missouri and are proceeding to "showher."Charles F. Reamer, Jr., Ohio, '33, forinstance, steps up with the assertion thatAthens, Ohio, will be a strong contenderwhen we get right down to the business ofcounting out the also-rans. Down in Athensthey start with the mayor (naturally), RobertS. Wood, Ohio, '09. To round out thecity government in good shape Ohio Gammahas supplied Rufus C. Hopkins, '19,president, and Charles H. Harris, '06, secretaryof the city council; the city clerk isDwight Rutherford, '26.Not to slight the county government, thechapter has furnished John Bolin, '24,prosecuting attorney, and Dr. J. M.

One couldjust about supply all his needs by patronizingPhi Delt merchants of all kinds in Athens,not to mention bankers, hotel owners, newspapermen, lavi^ers, physicians, etc., etc.,etc.

Hoover Awards Winner of Architectural CompetitionAmenc3!sForemostHomG Designer,HOMES and towns in thiscountry of ours are frequentlythought of asbeing by-products of, first, thegenerations-long struggle withthe frontier and, second, thenewer, speedier, madder uprushof industrial maturity.Perhaps it is true that only afew regions and a few periodshave given us an architectureof house and community whichis distinctively and charminglyAmerican, something we can be proud of.Of course, there is the appallingly uniformgeometrical design of our city streets,for which we may thank the sturdy Pennand his City of BrotherlyLove. That is distinctiveenough — but scarcelycharming. Then it seemsthat many of the architectsof our state capitols couldbe no more original than toborrow the traditional domeintroduced about a centuryand a half ago by an outstandingAtlantic seabord designer.But the simple, spotlesswhite and green of a NewEngland village home, the dignified,classic stateliness of thesouth Atlantic houses, and aGold MedalArchitectural few other styles of design haveNew York given us something of whichAmerica may well be proud.

The World Warcaused an enormous shortagein housing facilities and thetypical American small home,so influential an institution inour history, was among thehardest hit. It was in that sameyear 1914 which brought theWar that also brought BrotherBaum the loss of his job andlaunched him on his subsequentcareer which was tomake him so pre-eminent a factor in restoringthe "small home" to its own.A large New York architectural firmhad been emplojn'ng this young man, just afew years out of college,but financial difficultieswere encountered and thefirm was dissolved ;Dwight James Baum wasReverse of the same medal,one of the profession'shighest honors"at liberty." But instead ofmortgaging his future to someother firm in the canyons oflower Manhattan he and Mrs.Baum decided to strike out ontheir own. They went up to anundeveloped tract of beautifullywooded land at about246th Street in New York,where they bought an attractivelot, and designed and builta small home thereon. Thehome became office and draftingroom as well as home.A doctor liked the Baum house and engagedits designer-owner to build one forhim.

Many of the homesdesigned by Brother Baum were in the vicinityof his own and thus as the homes increasedin numbers in that neighborhoodthere began to grow up the little communityof Riverdale-on-Hudson which is itselfperhaps the architect's greatest monument.The impression is not to be gained thatDwight James Baum's work has been exclusivelythe designing of homes. That isfar from true.. The largest institutionalbuilding ever built, the WestSide Y.M.CA. in NewYork, is a product of hisdrafting board. The recentFlushing, Long Island, postoffice, a building handlingmail for some 6oo,000 peoplewas designed by him.

His ancestorsback to the middle of the seventeenthcentury, when they emigrated fromHolland to New York and Pennsylvania,have been solidly attached to that whichwas good architecture. Baum was born on aNew York farm in 1886. From high schooldays on, his vacations were spent in an architect'soffice and his work atSyracuse was formally directedtoward the end of hischosen profession. His workat Syracuse, incidentally, wonfor him membership inT Z A, the O B K of architects.Harvey Wiley Corbett,the architect of the RadioCity in New York, said ina monograph published sometime ago about DwightJames Baum and his work;"It is only the exceptionalarchitect who has the force ofHendricks Chapel, Syracuse University, designed by Brother Baum

Dr. Colwell's other outstandingfield of research, appeared in theFebruary number of the Journal oj theFranklin Institute.Dr. Colwell has achieved these distinctionsonly after a longperiod of preparationand experience. He wasgraduated from HarvardUniversity in1907, and a year laterreceived his master'sdegree from the Universityof New Brunsvpick.In 1918 he wasgranted a Ph.D. fromPrinceton.Brother Colwellserved as professor ofphysics at Geneva Collegeuntil 1924, whenhe assumed the departmentalduties at Morgantown.In 1927 hewas initiated into WestVirginia Alpha as itsfirst faculty member.Prof. Robert C. Colwell[»77]The foUowing is quoted from the LondonScience Service, which carried a fulldescription of the scientist-Phi's notes onsignal fading, gathered over a period of fouryears: "Fading of radio signals, so annoyingto most broadcast listeners and especiallyto fans specializing onlong distance reception,promises to help meterologiststo make weatherforecasts."Special observationswith a long-wave radio setwere made, and an automatic recorder,which registered the strength of radio signals,was installed and connected to the set.Records of the strength of the signals fromKDKA, Pittsburgh, as well as records ofthe atmospheric conditions, were kept in aradio room, together with weather maps ofthe country, showing high and low pressureareas, and the effects which were recordedwhen the areasshifted over the Morgantown-Pittsburghdistrict.Dr. Colwell foundthat when a high-pressurearea covered bothPittsburgh and Morgantown,the day signalfrom KDKA wasstronger than the night,while the night signalwas strongest when alow-pressure area existed.By such a method,weather conditionsmay be predicted, andthe British journalalong with other researchpublications andauthorities, believes Dr.Colwell has uncovered

Chladni sprinkled sand over thesurface while it was vibrating, and thegrains arranged themselves along lines ofno-vibration, in symmetrical patterns. Thinbrass plates were later adopted, a similartype of which was used by Dr. Colwell inhis recent experiments.Several years ago, it occurred to Dr. Colwellthat a valve oscillator, the three-elementvacuum tube used extensively in radiotelephony, might be used to vibrate theseChladni plates and thus produce heretoforeunknown sand figures.The experiment proved a success, andwith this instrument, thin plates were vibratedat high frequencies to produce extremelycomplicated but new and regularpatterns. The greater the vibration, themore complicated a pattern the sand assumes(see illustrations). Practical applicationof the principles discovered is possiblein telephony, telegraphy, and wireless, accordingto Dr. Colwell.\Continued on fage ^ojl

This plan sets us apart and distinctfrom all other colleges of forestry, and althoughwe are among the youngest of theforestry schools scattered all over the civilizedglobe, it has caused us, in a relativelyshort period, to become the largest college offorestry in the world."To these of us on the faculty, this planhas become so much a matter of coursethat we are apt to forget the remarkablevision of the man who first conceived theidea."Dr. Baker, in the face of the adverseopinion of his fellow foresters and even ofsome of his own faculty, conceived thisplan and placed it in operation. Instead ofa small school, teaching only forest production,as all other forestry schools had beendoing, and in most cases are still doing, heconceived in these earliest years practicallya forest university. To few is it given in theowner's lifetime to see a somewhat daringvision realized and success achieved whichperhaps has exceeded the early imaginings.This, it seems to me, is the good fortune ofDr. Baker."Do You Know That—O A 0 strengthened itself in the stateof Virginia in the eighties by the absorptionof a fraternity known as K Z K with chaptersat Randolph-Macon, Richmond Collegeand Washington and Lee.

Excerptsfrom theAddress ofCampbellJohnsonMiami, '10atHamilton-OxfordFounders'Day Banquet^A0)BGay Potter Bentoa. Ohio Wesleyan, '86ROTHER PHIS, I Was rather surprisedthis evening when our good friend Miami University and obtain a degree.and brother, Arthur Priest, asked me Those four years saw him pass through thatif I had prepared a manuscript to be used age which I now am enjoying and as I,in connection with what I have to say this with everyone else, have been called on toevening. There are some few individuals face the problems that have presentedwho stand out in my life, what I have lived themselves during what we have goneof it, in speaking of whom it would not be through the past three years, I have thoughtnecessary for me to prepare a manuscript, of that man and at times have wonderedbecause throughout my associations with what he would have done under the samethem, they left within me a keen memory circumstances. One thing above aU has stoodof what they stood for, what they worked out—^he wouldn't have quit.toward, and what they accomplished. This Fraternity has two mottos, one is open—Dr. Guy Potter Benton, born in 1865, els dvTio ofifielg d.vt\Q—^meaning: ''We enjoy lifewas such an individual. In the fall of 1906, by the help and society of others." There is anothermotto which cannot be repeated, for which $ A 0when my acquaintance with him began, hestands, but in substance it is quite similar to thewas 41 years old. I was with him the four open motto.years that were required to go through For this evening, I would like to go back and89]

290 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor Afril, 1933think of Dr. Benton as the man who lived up tothe teachings of both of those mottos. Dr. Benton,above all things, understood human nature. Heunderstood boys. He understood his own limitations.There was nothing of the despot about Dr.Benton. As I sat here this evening, talking to Dr.Davis, I recalled that within a week after theopening of college, when the Y.M.C.A. generalstudent reception was held, Prexy Benton knewevery man who had come in that freshman classby his first name. I don't think it was an easy thingfor him to do that. I think it required quite abit of study and thought on his part in order tobe able to do it. But he knew enough about folksto know that a boy who had been in here for aweek, perhaps his first experience away from hispeople at home, would be pleased and heartenedover the fact that Prexy could call him by hisfirst name. And he did it without an error.He would come down to our meetings quite frequentlyhere in this chapter house and ask to betreated as one of the boys and reprimanded forany shortcomings. He was responsible for thebuilding of this house. He would sit in our meetingswith us and when it came to the final rollcall and moss-scrapping, he was just one of theboys. You had the feeling, when you were withthat man that he was your friend. He was tryingto see what he could build with the material thathe had at hand. He would see you on the campus.Things might have been going hard for you. Ifyou caught up with him he called to you andhe had a way of slipping his hand in your armand asking you questions that pertained to youraflfairs back home and the affairs of your people.At the end of our third year, in the spring of1909, Dr. Benton got a call from Boston University.He accepted the call contingently. His decisionwas deplored by everyone here. I was appointed amember of a committee to call on Dr. Benton onbehalf of the student body and asked him to reconsiderhis acceptance of this call from Boston.We all thought the world of him. We sincerelybelieved that he represented Miami University tothe point where the University was merely hisshadow.I had the task of talking with him and presentingour appeal. I told him how much we thoughtof him, how much we admired and loved him,what it would mean to us to lose him, and thenI said, "Dr. Benton, we can't get along herewithout you." And he looked at me and he smiledand said, "Campbell, you unwittingly have hurtme. You have said that I am indispensable toMiami. You have said in substance, that my workhere and my accomplishments have been due solelyto myself, that I have not imparted the ability tolead, or, to carry on, to those who have been associatedwith me. You could not have intimatedthat I have accomplished my task morally." Hesaid, "I am saying this to you for your own good—never become indispensable. Never get the ideathat you are indispensable to others or to things.Whenever you arrive at the point where you areimpressed with your indispensability—that is yourending."How true it all was. We read our books. Westudy our history and our English and our mathematicsand our economics. We attain good gradesin them, but they don't mean anything to us atthe time. It takes the experience that comes notwith success, but with adversity to make one realizewhat those things were and what they wereall about, those things that you were trying tolearn. I have thought about Dr. Benton's remarksto me on indispensability many times in the lastthree years. He was right. He would go to anyextreme. His time was nothing—his money wasnothing. He thought nothing of money anyhow,to a point where it was a weakness, to help otherpeople. How charitable he was—how forgiving.He left here in the spring of 1911, after nineyears of highly constructive work, leaving a hostof friends in the University and in that part ofthe country that Miami University drew from. Hewent to the University of Vermont. -He had ahard time of it at Vermont for a while. It wasmost troubling—he wasn't dealing with peoplethere that react like we do in this section. It wasjust different—but his work there was finally asuccess.He went from there into the Y.M.CA. duringthe War. He went overseas.. He served there somethingover a year and then he was made Chiefof Education in the American Expeditionaryforces which were concentrated over the Rhine.He came back and accepted the presidency of theUniversity of the Philippines.Dr. Benton was what he was because he hadbeen an ordinary boy. He didn't graduate at OhioWesleyan. He never made a secret of the fact thathe was expelled from Ohio Wesleyan during hisundergraduate life there because he went to atheater in Columbus, which was against the rules.But Ohio Wesleyan, although they let him outwhile he was an undergraduate, were glad toconfer later every possible degree they could honora man with, on Dr. Benton.And then, toward the end, he went to theUniversity of the Philippines and became belovedby those people there. Something happened physically—Idon't know what it was. He becameafflicted with an insidious creeping form of ailment.It manifested itself through a gradualparalysis of the body and the faculties and yetthere was never a complaint from him. His financesbecame involved. He became destitute. BrotherPriest saw him during the last two years of hislife. He died in the summer of 1927 in his 62ndyear. His body lies buried out here on the Hamiltonroad in the little cemetery on the hill. Hesuffered. It is hard for me to imagine how a personcould have suffered more than did he.When you get up over forty, you begin to

The ScROLi. of Phi Delta Theta jor April, 1933 291philosophize. You like to know the why and thewherefore and some of your spare time is spent intrying to work out the scheme of things to yourown satisfaction. I wrote to Arthur Priest whenI told him I would be glad to come up here andmake some remarks concerning Dr. Benton's life,but I said that it was hard for me to build up aphilosophy that would justify what Dr. Bentonwent through the last four or five years, and Iasked Arthur if he would help me a little intrying to arrive at something that would be adequate.He wrote me quite a lengthy letter—agood letter. There are two paragraphs in it thatI want to relate to you. He relates that he calledon him twice in consecutive summers. On hisfirst visit. Dr. Benton could not control the facultyof speech; the second summer, his eyesight hadleft him. Arthur's letter continues: "He was cheerful,however, deeply interested in the Fraternity,delighted to learn of every forward movement,and helpful in suggestions about overcoming anyapparent difficulties. I am giving you this becauseit seems to me that it is not what we suffer, buthow we take it. Dr. Benton's life, to the veryclose, was a benediction to all those who came incontact with him, and I am sure that it neveroccurred to him to question the justness of hisaffliction. He had picked up trouble in the Philippinesand he was willing to take the results. Ibelieve there is a very definite philosophy thatcovers his case as well as other similar cases. Ihave always had a good deal more trouble to workout a philosophy to cover such cases as that ofHelen Keller, but I think there is a philosophyfor her case that does no violence to one's intelligence."How beautifully expressed! And these wordsstarted me thinking what was his reward? Itwasn't bodily suffering, it wasn't suffering thatcomes with financial reverses and poverty. True,those things were present, and yet, there must havebeen a satisfaction there that would overwhelm allthose pains and disappointments. Dr. Benton hadserved men as boys when he was associated withthem here at Miami University. The greatest asset •in my opinion, that a person can have in life isfriends, but an asset greater than making friendsis having those for whom you have struggledstick with you when the going is tough. Dr.Benton, in the last years of his life, saw the boyswhom he had seen grow up from youth to temperedyears, some of the boys he had dealt with asboys, meet with success as men, take hold of success,and yet involved as they were with success,they never forget that he was largely responsiblefor such success as was theirs and he went downknowing that there was such a thing as loyaltyin the face of adversity and that the principles ofthe Fraternity that he had devoted a large part ofhis life to were realized in his life even morevividly than through the ritual.Add List of Phi Delt TownsBROTHER WHITLEY AUSTIN'S story inTHE SCROLL for February about how PhiDelts own Emporia, Kansas, has had repercussions.The way in which one Phi repercussedis indicated in the following:The Indian River Products CompanyVero Beach, Indian River County, FloridaDEAR BROTHER BANTA:In the February issue of THE SCROLL I readwith interest the article, "Emporia, Kansas, aPhi Delt Town," and I cannot refrain from writingyou about our little community.I would not think of writing you if we werein the midst of colleges and in the north butbeing as far as we are from the field of actionand, in addition, in a small community, it isinteresting to know that in our orange grovebusiness and my dairy business which serves thecommunity, the orange trees are set by a PhiDelt, they are insured by a Phi Delt, the contractsfor the sale of the fruit are drawn by aPhi Delt, the manicuring of the trees—the pruningand spraying—^is done by a Phi Delt, the advertisingfor the sale of this fruit and for ourdairy products is done by a Phi Delt, the milk isproduced by a Phi Delt, our golf course was developedby a Phi Delt and it is also interestingto note that this

EDITORIALThis Matterof TaxesAN OLD SAW has itthat death and taxesare the only really inevitablethings. Theformer is a bit too gruesome but thelatter, even in such times as these,comes in for its share of jokes, puns,quips, and what not. For several scorechapters scattered over the country theannual payment of sums running up toseveral thousand dollars is no laughingmatter, however.A recent judicial decision in Kansasheld fraternity chapters liable for paymentof taxes. Indiana, unless a veryrecent change has been made, stillexempts fraternity property from realestate taxes. Most states make no suchprovision. Within limits, we feel thatfraternity property is legitimately entitledto an exemption from this growingburden of taxation. The questionis an old one, although reflecting newsignificance now, and it is not intendedto review in detail here the argumentspro and con.On this question, it must be stated,there is much weight on both sides.William Allen White, that pre-eminentpublicist and Phi, recently wroteus, for instance, that "fraternity menare the picked students of any school,men who are chosen for various kindsof excellences and they above all othersshould pay their full tax burden to thestate. They should pay in proportionto their ability to pay and apparentlythey have high ability to pay in standingand brains or they would not bemembers of the fraternity, unless perhapsthe whole fraternity system isbased upon a fake assumption not warrantedby the facts."The argument that the fraternitymust not shirk its social and economicresponsibility as a group in the communityby seeking to avoid payment oftaxes is to an extent a valid one.But against that there remains thefact that fraternity houses fill a largeand important niche on most campusesas dormitories and are under more orless careful regulation by college oruniversity authorities. Universityowneddormitories are increasing innumber but not for years can they obviatethe need for the facilities of fraternityhouses in solving the studentrooming problem.It is not the active fraternity membersthemselves in the large majorityof cases who pay the taxes on fraternityhouses, but rather their parents,and to the extent that the houses aresubstitute dormitories the parents arefinancially penalized for their sons'residence in the houses.We are unaware of whether a recent,careful, and comprehensive surveyhas been made of the cost per inhabitantof both university-owneddormitories and fraternity houses. Itis readily, even if regretfully, to be admittedthat a large number of fraternitychapters, in Phi Delta Theta andother organizations, have "over-built."The unfortunate result is what the secretaryof another fraternity has aptlycalled "mortgaged mansions." Fraternitiescan yet perform a great constructiveservice by putting a curb tothe mania for campus competition inthe construction of palatial fraternityhomes.But we have the feeling that were acareful analysis to be made the cost9»]

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor April, 1933 293per occupant of fraternity houseswould not be found much greater thanthat of dormitories. If not, much ofthe basis of the campaign against theextravagance of fraternity house buildingis thereby undermined.A compromise should, however, bestruck. It is diificult to generalize sincefactors vary so greatly from fraternityto fraternity, from chapter to chapter,and from campus to campus. But o£Fhandwe are inclined to feel that anyfraternity house should be tax exemptup to an assessed valuation of, say,$50,000. For that sum—or in realitymore than that sum, since the assessedvaluation seldom represents the constructioncost or true valuation—almostany chapter should be able tobuild an adequate home. If, then, itsresources are such that it can spendtwice or three times that amount on ahouse it is perhaps no more than fairto ask it to pay taxes upon the excessof valuation above a base figure of$50,000.Privileges and obligations are complementary.For such a concession intax exemption the fraternity chaptershould be required to have such universitysupervision of housing conditions,morals, facilities for study, etc.,as would, with a decent regard for thereasonable privacy of the group, besufficient to remove it from the ken ofthe usual charges brought against it.There has been altogether too littleof that wholesome and whole-heartedco-operation between fraternity groupsand university administrations whichProvince President Fred Milligancommented on so forcefully in NewYork last November.As long as the chapter house servesthe same fundamental purpose, i.e.,housing, that the university-owneddormitory does we cannot but feelthat it is entitled, within reasonablelimits, to the same privilege of tax exemptiongranted the university-owneddormitory, assuming that the chapteris willing to assume the correlative obligationswhich would seem to go withsuch exemption.What Phi Delta Theta Has Meant to Me[Contintied jrom fage 257]the brothers in the active chapter Icnow that theyare in the eyes of their alumni brethren youngmen of excellent physical, moral, and mentalattainments.This mutual admiration leads to one of thegreatest achievements of college fraternities.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor April, 1933 299Clarksburg, West VirginiaThe Clarksburg Alumni Club this year decidedto observe Founders* Day in a mannerwhich would serve a dual purpose. The chapterof West Virginia Alpha observes its foundingat the same time that the national organizationobserves its founding and so with that thoughtIn mind the alumni club here decided to visitthe actives at Morgantown for its Founders' Dayexercises.The club left Clarksburg early and arrived Intime for an excellent dinner and this was enjoyedfor it gave us a chance to mingle withthe boys and for some of our older men it wasjust like being in college again. After the dinnerthe boys held their regular weekly meeting. Andof course this revived old memories. The literaryexercises were taken care of by F. L. Vlllersof the alumni club and a charter member of WestVirginia Alpha who gave a short talk on thefounding of the chapter. This proved interestingfor it brought to the boys some of the hardshipsthat were to be overcome in the placing of achapter there, and the carrying on of the workafter the chapter was installed. After the meeting,initiation ceremonies were held for Dr, Carl P.Schott of the physical education department ofthe university. The members of the ClarksburgClub to make the trip were: Don Neal, West Virginia;Alexander B. Whittaker, Amherst-Ohio;R. S. Soule, Ohio; H. Kent Sine, West Virginia;Charles Daugherty, Pittsburgh; and F. L. Vlllers,West Virginia.F. L. VILLERSCleveland, OhioWe have been holding several alumni partiesand get-togethers' at the local chapter house atCase School, Ohio Eta. These affairs supplementour weekly Friday luncheons at the Chamberof Commerce.On January 30, the Cleveland alumni gave aparty for the undergraduates at the Case chapterhouse at which time the Cleveland Alumni Clubtrophy was presented to the Case active chapter.The presentation of the trophy to Harvey Haynum,'33, president of the Case chapter, was madeby Albert Baehr, Case, '16, in the presence ofmany alumni who were instrumental in donatingthe trophy. "Grizz" Baehr expressed, in behalfof the alumni, how glad they were that the Casechapter had performed so efficiently in scholarship,activities, and athletics, thereby outshiningall other colleges of their size and bringing thetrophy back to Cleveland.The alumni furnished food' for the victoriousbrothers of the active chapter when the trophypresentation was finished.Another alumni get-together was held at theCase chapter house on February 7. At this partyplans were laid for a monthly meeting at thehouse with the active chapter when a prominentCleveland Phi Delt alumnus will give an interestingand instructive talk on the workings ofhis particular field of activity. The first of thesealumni-active meetings was held on the last Mondayin February.A good crowd of Phis turned out to hear BertQuarrie, Case, '00, an expert in the steel industry,give an entertaining talk which everyone enjoyed.In view of the success of the first venture inthose monthly meetings, the committee is goingahead with its plans to continue the gatheringsat the chapter house on the last Monday of everymonth.Among the Cleveland alumni who have beenpresent at these parties at the chapter house are:Albert Baehr, Case, '16; Dr. Richard Barnes, Broevn,*27i Reve G.

However, wehope that our monthly alumni-active chaptermeetings will give the alumni a chance to renewtheir $ A 0 promises and friendships and tocarry on the ideas which were expressed by theFounders of our Fraternity.The officers of the Cleveland Alumni Clubelected for the year 1933 are as follows: president,Thomas Fulmer, Ohio State, '2 5; vicepresident.Dr. Richard Barnes, Broivn, '27; secretary,Maurice W.

It has refused to followthe usual custom of drifting into a period ofinactivity following the tremendous work connectedwith the holding of a national convention.A committee headed by Lorren Griffin of ColoradoAlpha has been unusually active in cooperatingwith the active chapters of Colorado in thematter of helping in rushing. The work of thiscommittee promises to be the most constructiveeffort ever undertaken by the Denver AlumniClub.At a special luncheon just prior to the Christmasvacation the members of the Denver Alumni

Theattendance at this luncheon was the largest thatwe have ever had at our weekly luncheons.On March 17 the 39th annual Founders' Daybanquet of the club was held at the Olin Hotelwith almost a hundred enthusiastic Phis in attendance.The guest speakers at this banquet were: W.T. Van de Graaf, Alabama, '16, footbaU coachat Colorado College; W. H. Saunders, Auburn,'19, football coach at Colorado; Percy Locey,Oregon State, football coach at Denver; FrankPotts, Oklahoma, track coach at Colorado.The following officers were elected for thecoming year: president, Lorren Griffin, Colorado;vice-president, W.

D. YOUNGThe Des Moines Alumni Club was just granteda charter prior to its first Founders' Day banquetheld in the club rooms of the Hermit Clubin Des Moines.Forty new members of the club attended, whichwe believe was a good percentage consideringthat this was our first banquet and that our listof Phis living in Des Moines is not very accurateand we have no means of knowing how manymore than those to whom we mailed notices shouldhave been notified. We believe there are about100 Phis in Des Moines. Our list has the namesof only 80.The meeting was attended by Lou Roddewlgof Davenport, former mayor of that city, andnow a member of the state board of assessmentand review, and Judge C. L. Ely of Maquoketa,Iowa. No formal program was attempted. Themeeting was more in the nature of a smoker anda get-acquainted affair. We believe it was a successin this regard.The next meeting of the club will be in theDutch Room of the Kirkwood Hotel at 12:30P.M., April I.A rushing committee was appointed, of whichBrother Zaiser Is the chairman. The club intendsto cooperate actively with the various active chaptersin rushing.MAXWELL A.

The speaker of theevening, Campbell S. Johnston, Miami, '10, gavea very interesting study of the life and philosophyof Guy Potter Benton, Ohio Wesleyan, '86. GuyPotter Benton, president of the General Councilof $ A 0 from 1915 to 1918, was president ofMiami University during Brother Johnston's undergraduateyears. From these years the speakerchose examples of the work and philosophy ofBrother Benton which caused us to appreciate thesimple phrase to be found upon his stone inthe Oxford cemetery—"Friend and Counsellorof Men."The Phis present from Hamilton were: HerbertS.

All activechapters in the state were represented by bothactives and alumni. Several from out of statechapters were also present.After an appetizing meal, Brother Murrayturned the meeting over to Brother Will P. Evans,DePauw, '07, popular with all, who acted as toastmasterfor the evening.The first speaker and certainly one whom theorganization felt proud to have with them wasour National President George Banta, Jr., Wabash,'14. Brother Banta in no undecided manner wonhis way into the hearts of all. His remarks onthe Fraternity in general, and on Indiana's partin the Fraternity in particular led us to believethat the Phis of Kappa Province have had muchto do in the building of the Fraternity.Brother Banta brought to our attention severalpertinent questions for thought, includingdealing with freshmen, size of houses, and others.He expressed to us the good wishes of his father.Following Brother Banta and well known toPhis in Chicago came Wilfred Smith, DePauw,*20, sports writer on the Chicago Tribune, whichhe modestly admitted "was the 'World's GreatestNewspaper' because it had never as yet failed togive him his pay check on time." He expressedthe regrets of Harvey Woodruff of the Tribunestaff, who because of illness was compelled tocancel his engagement. Brother Woodruff has beenill since the close of football season last fall.The club was extremely happy to have as theirthird speaker a member of the General Council,Dean Hoffman of Harrisburg.Brother Hoffman's address stressed the Bond of* A 0—that document which "offers a surerway to a successful life of a college man."Three men in Indiana at this banquet receivedthe Golden Legion certificate symbolic of 50 yearsin $ A 0. Arthur Priest, Executive Secretary, waspresent to make the awards. The three men presentto receive their certificates were Grafton Johnson,franklin, of Greenwood; James W. Fesler,Indiana; and Robert Wilson, Franklin, the lattertwo both of Indianapolis.In an effort to extend its activities beyond thesocial aspect, the Indianapolis Alumni Club in1927 inaugurated the system of presenting a cupto the chapter in Kappa Province having thehighest scholastic rank. This year in a close raceIndiana Gamma nosed out Indiana Beta by just.0051 per cent. The cup must be won three times,not necessarily in succession, to become the permanentproperty of any chapter. So far IndianaTheta is the only chapter to have won it twice.The list of Phis at the speakers' table included:Robert W. Wilson, Franklin; Franklin McCray,Franklin; Frederick R.

BROWNLynchburg,VirginiaThe visit late in February of Alumni CommissionerFrank J. R. Mitchell and ProvincePresident Ben G. Childs occasioned the revivalof the Lynchburg Alumni Club. At a luncheonmeeting at the Virginian Hotel, February 23,Brother Mitchell enumerated some of the outstandingfacts of the Fraternity and outlined thegeneral objectives of alumni organizations. ProfessorChilds urged reorganization of the LynchburgClub,A second meeting was held March 15 at Jenny'sTea Shop to celebrate Founders' Day. At thattime the club decided to meet at Jenny's threetimes a year, in September, during Christmas holidays,and in the spring. Effort will be made tohave each of the three Virginia chapters, Beta,Gamma, and Zeta, send a representative to oneclub meeting each year, thus establishing a contactbetween the Lynchburg alumni and the collegegroups. A committee consisting of GeorgeMoore, Virginia, Dick Horner, Randolfh-Macon,and Clay Gooch, Washington and Lee, was directedto keep the club advised as to graduatesof high and preparatory schools In and nearLynchburg who might be recommended to undergraduatechapters upon their entrance into colleges.Club officers are Frank P.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor April, 1933 303Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaFounders* Day was celebrated by the PhiladelphiaAlumni Club on Tuesday evening, March14, at the Pennsylvania chapter house. One hundredand fifteen were served at dinner and otherscame in later. It was a real "homey'* affair andenjoyed by aU because of its simplicity and informality.Dr. William Mather Lewis, Knox, 'oo, presidentof Lafayette College, was the guest of honorand speaker. Six members of the active chapterat Lafayette accompanied Dr. Lewis and twotrustees of the coUege were also present. Otherprominent guests were Frank J. R.

Thus we hadpresent two Past Presidents of the General Council(Brothers Moore and Mitchell), a formerTreasurer (Brother Ballou), and a former Historian(Brother McCluney Radcliffe) of the GeneralCouncil besides the present alumni commissioner(Brother Mitchell) and a representativefrom the Survey Commission (Brother Kolbe).The chapter register looks like a page from"Who's Who in * A 0."Alumni president, A.

Brother Beitler provedto be a "gavel-wielder par excellence" as had beenadvertised. He introduced McCluney Radcliffe andJ.

Both were graduated at Lafayetteand affiliated at Pennsylvania where they hadmuch to do in the early days of the local chapter.Brothers Mitchell, Ballou, and Kolbe werealso introduced and responded with short remarks.In his address Dr. Lewis spoke of the currentworld conditions and stressed some of the problemsconfronting the colleges and the AmericancoUege fraternity system in the present criticalperiod in the world at large as weU as in theeducational world. "To meet these conditions,"he said, "leadership of the highest order must bedeveloped." To the undergraduates he said, "Don'tbe afraid to stand out and be different." Hefurther said that he almost envied the young mangoing out into this new world. One of the importantproblems that he will meet will be howbest to employ his leisure time. We are now passingthrough some grave changes. Many of ourold established ideas and customs are in a stateof flux and the test will come to the individualstudent as well as to the coUeges when meetingthe changes and conforming to the new conditions.Two important matters were presented for consideration.In his report on the Estes Park Convention,"Bill" Baily, Wisconsin, '07, outlined hissuggestions for entertaining the General Conventionin September 1934 which were referred to aspecial committee for study.

It has come to ourattention that Stephen E. Anderson, Washington,'30, did not enter the tryoutsfor the games and hence wasnot eliminated from them at thatstage. Brother Anderson finished his runningcareer in 1930 after a tour of Europe.He retired with the distinction of never havingbeen defeated in the National A.A.U.meets for three years. So splendid a recordwould surely have presaged wellfor his success had he entered theOlympic competition.[3^ 3]

• N THE Senate of the SeventythirdCongress, which FranklinD. Roosevelt called in sessionextraordinary in March, thedeans are two of the most distinguishedmembers of the chamber,one Senator William E. Borah ofIdaho and the other Senator DuncanU. Fletcher of Florida. Noother Senators in the new Congresshave served so long as the oratorfrom Idaho and the calm-thinking,always courteous, able, and belovedSenator from the PeninsulaState. This articledeals with Fletcherfor the very good reasonthat he is a son of O A 0, one whosemembership goes back to the eighties whenhe was a student at Vanderbilt University,where among his chapter brothers wasJames Clark McReynolds, now an AssociateJustice of the United States SupremeCourt, and before that Woodrow Wilson'sAttorney General.In the new Congress the position ofFletcher has few parallels in the congressionalhistory of the nation for under a strictapplication of the seniority rules governingcommittee chairmanships Senator Fletcherwould head not one major but three of thegreat committees of the Senate, namely\^Tlorida'sSenator FletcherTakes Leading Rolein New Congress[3^4]By L. C. SPEERSWashington and Lee, '99Banking and Currency, Military Affairs,and Commerce. Of course he will not bethe chairman of all three for a cardinal virtueof the Senator from Florida is unselfishness.He will be chairman of the allpowerfulCommittee on Banking and Currency,the committee to which more thanany other in the new Congress the nationwill look for guidance in the drafting andenactment of legislation to buttress the financialstructure of the country and hastenthe restoration of prosperity.As a member of the other key committees—Commerceand Military Affairs—Senator Fletcher will serve as a senior majoritymember. On Military Affairs he willcontinue as he has for a quarter of a centuryone of the Army's best friends, a Senatorwho through the years has always stood forthe maintenance of a Regular Army adequateto serve the peace-time needs of theUnited States, and so organized, equippedand oiBcered as to provide the backbone forthe greater organization that would becalled into action in the event of a nationalemergency.On Commerce Senator Fletcher will alsoadhere to a policy that so far as he isconcerned has always been consistent. He isa tried and true friend of the Americanmerchant marine, a Senator of the schooladvocating a great American fleet of passengerand freight ships to carry Americanproducts into every port of the world, afleet under the American flag that in timeof war would be ready on the instant toserve as the nucleus of the auxiliary squad-

SenatorFletcher has always maintainedthat a merchant fleet flying theAmerican flag and operating onevery sea is absolutely essential tothe prosperity of the Americanpeople.Finally as Chairman of theCommittee on Banking and Currency,Senator Fletcher is and willbe an advocate of sound bankingpolicies, good currency, and sanegovernmental aid to, supervision of,and co-operation with the financialinstitutions of the nation to the attainmentof these ends.

THE SCROLL a Half Century AgoBy MILLARD F. TROXELLGettysburg, '80Dr. Troxell, guest of the Fraternity atthe Estes Park Convention, has had along and honorable career in the Lutheranministry. He held pastorates in KansasCity, Springfield, St. Joseph, Topeka, andDenver, among other cities. For eightyears he was president of Midland College,Atchison, Kansas, and for severalyears was executive secretary of theLutheran Board of Education. At one timehe was chaplain of the Illinois state senate.For many years he was the regularwestern correspondent of the leadingLutheran Church paper. The record hastruly been one of service. Eight times wasBrother Troxell president of his synod.Many more times has he been elected officialdelegate to conventions of hischurch. He has now retired from the activeministry and makes his home in Denverwhere he is accounted one of the mostloyal of the many loyal Phis there. BrotherTroxel was one of tfie Phis to suggest theerection of the tablet to the memory ofEugene Field, the realization of whichcame in the beautiful and impressive ceremonylast summer.tempts at publishing monthly or quarterlyorgans ended in suspensions. THE SCROLLis one of the very few of these early fraternitypublications that has maintained a continuousand consistent existence from 1878up to the present time.When changed from a quarterly to amonthly THE SCROLL was printed first innewspaper form of four, then eight pages.A conventional number was made up of apoem and several articles on the first pages,some editorial matter and reports of chaptersfor the rest of the forms.The title page had under the heading thewords sub rosa, and every effort was madeto see that no copy would fall into alienhands. However, as no secret items or workof O A 0 were printed in the monthly itwas decided after a year or two that theIT WAS 54 years last November that THESCROLL was placed in my care, first asbusiness manager, then as editor, andprinted at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Up tothat time its career had been uncertain andintermittent. It first appeared as a quarterlyin January, 1875. The subscription list wasmeager and in a year or two the publicationfailed for lack of financial support. In thisrespect it was like a half dozen similar experiencesin Greek letter societies whose at-[3^7]The first issue of Tbc Scroll

Our first editionwas 400 copies monthly, and the subscriptionprice was one dollar per year. Wesoon ran the issue up to 800 and the publicationthen paid its own way. The businessmanager and editor served without compensation.We could under the restrictions ofsuch a monthly solicit little or no advertising.We carried, usually, however, the advertisementof the official jeweler. Burgessand Company of Albany, New York, andDreka of Philadelphia, who was our finestationer and engraver. That firm did somebeautiful work for us in those days of 50years ago.As an incident of our success in printingTHE SCROLL at Gettysburg and the changefrom the newspaper to the magazine form,I may mention that a good friend in Z Xconsulted me about the matter, cost, etc.,and that resulted in the birth of the L Xmagazine which began publication at ourprintery 50 years ago and has been, if Imistake not, in continuous publication eversince.Beginning with the number of November1878,1 had full charge of THE SCROLLuntil I left Gettysburg at the end of mystudent days in 1882. During those yearsthere were important and vital changes inthe Fraternity. It was the era of fine growthand expansion. THE SCROLL was creditedby the leaders of the organization with makingthe Indianapolis Convention of 1880up to that time the most important and largestconvention in the history of C> A 0. Itwas there that a new constitution wasadopted, the securing of a charter was ordered,a new ritual was agreed upon, newnomenclature came into use, the province^I0J«JL^^:A Note from theSigma Chi EditorHear Mr. Fitzgibbon:While in the East I had the rare privilegeof visiting our first editor, the Rev.

Both of diem wereprinted at the Wible Print Shop at Gettysburg.The building has long since been torn down. Iwas glad to learn, however, that the copy forour first issue was prepared in Trowbridge's roomin "Old Dorm" at Gettysburg. He tells me thatPhi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi were the firstfraternities to exchange publications, a practicewhich is now quite general. You will note thatthe name of our magazine in 1881 was TheSigma Chi. In 1887 it was changed to the SigmaChi Quarterly.

His former residence has beenat Los Angeles.Once in a while a genius B so submergedin an antithetic element that full recognitionof his merit is retarded or even made impossible.Had that not been the case,

He thenreturned to Grand Forks to take up thepractice of law which he continued thereuntil 1925. For six years during that timehe was a special lecturer on evidence andpleading at the Law School of the stateuniversity.In 1925 O'Connor removed to LosAngeles and became associated with the firmof McAdoo, Neblett, O'Connor and Clagett,headed by K Z's William Gibbs Mc­Adoo, now United States senator from California.Since 1930 he has engaged in lawpractice with ex-Judge C.

Clowning for a VacationIN THE business world he's Harper Joy,the investment banker; but in the worldof the big top, he's Joy, the clown. Andthat transfiguration from the worrisomemarts of trade to the little known land ofmake-believe marks the culmination of aboy's dream and ambition.Every man's own experiencewill tell him howByfew are the men who havereally realized their boyhoodambitions, exactly as the "Clown's"they dreamed of doing.(Did you want to be a fireman, or an engineer?)That's why I asked Harper Joy,Whitman, '22, Spokane investment banker,just how it came about that for a week orso each year he dons the "clown white"and travels with a circus as one of the"joeys." Here is the story he told me:"Before I entered the investmentbanking business, before I wasa member of 3> A 0, even beforeI yearned toward the cultural atmosphereof Collegi Whitmanensus,I was a circus fan. I don't knowwhen it began, because as long agoas I can remember, I have lovedthe circus."I was born in Sedalia, Missouri,August 31, 1894. When I wasthree years old, my sister and Iwere adopted by a Walla Wallafamily, so I was raised in a smalltown, where Circus Day, theFourth of July, and April i, theopening of the fishing season; werethe high spots of the whole year.(I must admit, however, that unofliciallythe fishing season sometimesopened a little earlier.)"The circus somehow was mycontact with that world on the outside,and as I studied my geographyin school, and looked at the maps,with some of the states coloredgreen, some yellow, and some red,MARGARET BEMENT[332]SecretaryI longed for the day when I too might seesomething of the land that lay beyond thelimits of our town."My mother, being strictly religious, alwaysregarded the circus, and all otherforms of entertainment, as the instrumentsof the devil, but I am happyto say that although myparents were very strictabout many things, myDad's love of the circusovercame all scruples. Ourfamily was one of verysmall means, and the day at the circus wasone we looked forward to through weeksof anticipation. The first bill car was a delight,the second was an even greater thrill,and Circus Day itself was all that we haddreamed it would be. WaUa Walla was alwaysa good one-day stand, and I well re-Harper Joy, the down

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor June, 1933 333member those gala days when the farmersdrove for miles, with horses and buggies,with all the kids, to see the circus."And while the other boys were dreamingof becoming soldiers and cowboys andpolicemen, young Harper was longing forthe day when he might become a clownand live in the mysterious circus world."All my life I wanted to be a circusclown," he says, "andwhen four years ago Iactually became one, it wasto reach the Valhalla of mydreams. Always I wantedto ride the circus trainthrough the night, bringingthe happy holiday to the crowds in tomorrow'stown. Day after day, with thecircus, I have watched it unfold in themorning, and fold up at night, and the organizationand the precision of it never losetheir fascination for me."For to Harper Joy, the circus is morethan a mere matter of entertainment whichcomes to town once a year. "To me," heexplains, "The circus always has been agreat, mysterious world, and after severalyears of close assodation, it still retains thatm)^tery. One of the greatest thrills I everhad in my life was to work with the ArthurBorella trio of clowns, and do the samenumbers that I saw as a boy, thirty yearsago, when the Ringlingshow played our town.How wonderful it seemedto go around and hearthose kiddies laugh, just asI laughed at the same actin the days of long ago."Mr. Joy has been with Schell Brothersmotorized circus several times. In 1930 heand Leonard Gross drove more than 2000miles in the Middle West, doing nothing butvisiting the various circuses—Ringling's,John Robinson, Schell Brothers, and Hagenbeck-Wallace.In 1931 Sells Floto Circushad a new clown for thirty-threeperformances—a clown with somenew "gags" and a great zest inhis work. Last summer, Joy theClown made his pilgrimage withthe Al G. Barnes Circus, clowningin 17 performances. He hashis own wardrobe, and his ownprops. Last year he delighted thekids with a particularly effectiveMickey Mouse costume. Some ofhis stunts, like the latter, are original,some he borrows from hisfriends among old-time producingclowns. He gets no pay, but thecircus is host, and furnishes himwith food and transportation.Huper Joy, the bankerMr. Joy's indulgence of this ambitionof his brought forth the followingeditorial comment in theNew York Post entitled "SecretAmbitions": "Perhaps the mostsensible man in the day's news is theSpokane banker who has joined acircus as a clown. For two wholeweeks he will be indulging his

334 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor June, 1933secret ambition. One of the most naturalthings in the world is a secret ambition.One of the rarest things is the open indulgenceof it. Mark Twain continued to bea humorist, although he longed to be a pilotonce more on the broad Mississippi. GeneralWolfe remarked that he would rather havewritten Gray's 'Elegy' than to captureQuebec. Then he stormed the city. Collegeprofessors have kept on lecturing aboutjurisprudence or anthropology, only to writedetective stories in secret. No doubt somestatesmen and sages have carried to theirgraves their envy of a southpaw pitcher. TheSpokane banker's vacation is likely to proveof lasting benefit. His daily routine will beless irksome when he returns to it—^particularlyif he should happen to meet a liontamerwho is taking a correspondence coursein salesmanship."Asked if he didn't consider his hobby themost unique in the world, Mr. Joy replied,"Everyone has a different idea of a vacation,and that's fine. Some like to sit on a hotelveranda, and rock back and forth lookingover the fronded palms. Some like to fightmosquitoes all day at the lake; and somelike to eat sandwiches covered with sand,on the beach. For me, I would rather takeout the old wardrobe and sneak out of townwith the tented city."Seems to me it's no worse to be crazyabout the circus than it is to be crazy aboutbridge or dominoes, or for a grown manto collect coins or stamps, or to wrangleover which is the proper fly to use for Devil'slake trout."Most everything we do in life dependson our point of view. Some things we willor will not do, like eating rhubarb orspinach, or being shaved by a lady barber."I am unashamed of the fact tha,t I ama Circus Fan. I love the circus. It is colorful,it breathes the romance of the past, and itis the cleanest form of entertainment wehave today. If you ever get the circus virusin your youth, you never recover from it.Even now, after over thirty years of associationwith the circus, it never growsstale or commonplace to me. I love the redand the gilt of the circus wagons, thespangles of the performers, the smell of thesawdust, as much as I did when I first sawthe ring as a boy. Always, as long as Ilive, the circus will be to me the incarnationof romance and adventure."Being a clown is not an escape from

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor June, 193333Stroubles, according to Joy, who declares thathe has no troubles. He has become more successfulthan he ever expected to be, and herefuses to worry about the silly actions of adry looking stock market ticker.Do clowns usually have an aching heartbehind their costumes and hilarity? "Perhapsthey do," Joy explains, "but it's probablydue to another talary cut, the same asyours and mine."Joy's criticism of the circus is that it seemsto be forgetting the clown. You can leavelots of things out of a circus, he claims, butit must have clowns and elephants andmusic. He recalled the days of the one-ringcircus and the famous Dan Rice. In thosedays, he said, the clown was the circus. Today,he is often just a flash, an incident."What kinds of people do you find in acircus? All kinds, of course, as in any business.But the atmosphere of friendliness andloyalty among circus people is refreshing."Besides being an ardent Circus Fan, Joyis an enthusiastic devotee of the theater. Beforeentering college he was in vaudevillefor three years, playing over the B. F. Keithcircuit. He enjoys every phase of the theater,from Uncle Tom's Cabin to Cyrano deBergerac^-irom The Old Homestead toThe Barretts oj Wimfole Street,Circus photos courtesy of Charles Kitto, Beloit, Wisconsin.He also confessed to another hobby whichis almost as deeply rooted and relentless ashis devotion to the circus—and that is a loveof travel. He has seen ten national parks,and has been in every state in the Union,in every province in Canada, in Alaska, andin twenty foreign countries."There's only one thing more enjoyableto me than riding somewhere—anywhere—on a puUman car, and that is being with acircus," says the grown-up boy who likes tobe a clown. This year he has begun to impartsome of his enthusiasm to his wife and hisfive year-old daughter, and he says thatsmall Nancy seems to love the elephantsand the circus wagons and the white topsalmost as much as her daddy does. His twosons are still a little too young to evince muchinterest in the land of sawdust and spangles,but their dad has hopes.Joy is a past president of the WhitmanCollege Alumni Association, a member ofthe Spokane City Club, and was electednational president of the Circus Fans Associationof America at their seventh annualconvention held last year at San Antonio,Texas. This is a national organization embracingsome thousand members, whose purposeis to assist circuses and circus people(Continued on page 343)

In 1914, he opened officesin San Francisco but in 1917 enrolledin the service as assistant surgeon, medicalcorps, U. S. Navy. In 1919, he was commissionedas lieutenant in the medical corpsand in 1925 was promoted to lieutenantcommander.During his service in the medical corpsof the Navy, Doctor Behlow saw activeservice, and after the war was stationed atthe Naval Hospital, Brooklyn, New York,until his retirement in 1931, when he movedto Palo Alto, California.During the entire period of a very activelife after graduation, first as a medical studentat Harvard, then as a practicing physician,and later, during his long years ofservice in the Navy, Behlow has kept in activecontact with his University and his Fraternity,always ready whenever the opportunityoffered to carry his share of responsibilityand burden, whether in the form ofcontributions, or personal service, and nowhaving retired he has returned to Stanfordand is enthusiastically entering into the lifeof the campus, giving generously of his timeand experience to University and Fraternityinterests.—J.

The accomplishmentsof this company under his leadershipare notable in their field, the most recentbeing the the development of the VermilionLagoons, probably the finest residentialsection along the Great Lakes. Thisproject embraces an outlay of some$200,000. We think it worthy of mentionto say that it is paid for. Lou Wells doesn'ttackle things he can't finish.With all his varied business activities heremembers his duty to his church and toO A 0.

Preceptors of Phi Delta ThetaW. C. Kay, Preceptor of Massachusetts Gamma W. E. Slabaugh, Preceptor of Ohio EtaTHE recent systematic development ofthe preceptor system has merited theattention of many fraternity leaders.In fact, at the last session of the NationalInterfraternity Conference a report of aspecial committee commissioned to surveythe benefits of this system was made.Much confusion exists with regard to thepurpose of the preceptor plan. This has deterredits advancement. Its sponsors havecontemplated the placing in the fraternityhouse of an adviser pursuing an advanceddegree. His purpose would be to create- ascholastic consciousness, develop a culturalattitude and generally advise those membersseeking assistance. Obviously the success ofthis plan rests upon the choice of the preceptor.His personality must be such as tocommand the admiration and respect of theBy FRED J. MILLIGAN, Ohio State, '28President of Zeta Province[3+membership. He must be a diplomat in thetrue sense of the word—for it is onlythrough gaining their confidence that hemay expect co-operation.Unfortunately at present when a suitableindividual is found his tenure is short, andthe chapter is unable to replace him. Itappears that the best solution to this problemis to obtain the co-operation of the college oruniversity in making available a list of desirableapplicants for this type of work.O A 0 has been one of the pioneers in developingthe preceptor system. However, theindividual chapters have been primarily responsiblefor what progress has been made.We are not aware of all cases in which it hasbeen tried but in response to a request forsuch information we are able to present a reportof the activities of the O A 0 chapters.

342 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor June, 1933Fred R. Cowles, Kansas, '05, deservesthe title of Dean for having served as preceptorof Kansas Alpha for ten years. Hewas originally employed to supervise thescholarship of the freshmen. In recent yearsthe chapter and the alumni have co-operatedin expanding his activities to include financialsupervision. During his regime KansasAlpha won the Harvard trophy cup and hasuniformly maintained a position of powerand prestige on its campus.Minnesota Alpha has enthusiasticallymaintained the preceptor system with a numberof different Phis holding the position.B. V. Moore, president of Lambda province,says: "Usually those things are more or lessspasmodic and in one year they are up andthe next year they are down, but for the lastfive consecutive years, to my knowledge,Minnesota has maintained an especially finescholarship situation, evidenced by twoawards of the Harvard trophy. In additionto that they have participated very prominentlyin the intramural athletic program.They have won the basketball and baseballchampionships and have always had memberson practically all of the major varsityteams. They edit the coUege paper. Theyhave led the Junior Prom for two out offive years and they have had the presidencyof the interfraternity council and the alluniversitypresidency for two out of fiveyears. I think they have been unusuallyfortunate in the type of preceptors they havehad as all of them have been very popularwith the chapter members as a whole, but Igive credit more to the general chapterdiscipline along all matters including scholarshipthat the chapter itself enforces, thedemocratic way in which they drive everybodyinto co-operation rather than from theso-called preceptor system itself."California Beta chose Raymond Reise,'28, to serve as preceptor last autumn quarter.Unfortunately for the chapter he wasunable to serve longer than one quarter.Robert Craymer reports as follows: "Weadopted the preceptor system with two mainpoints in view. We wished to show the newmen in the house how to study, for wefound that the new men as a rule, didn'tknow the first fundamentals in concentration.Secondly, we wished to raise the houseaverage on the campus. Although we usedthe system for only one quarter, it proved tobe very satisfactory. It being the fall quarter,the preceptor aided the new men in startingtheir year with a bang. I am happy to sayour house average went up in the fall andagain in the winter quarter."Dr. W. W. Behlow, president of Omicronprovince, has expressed great interestin the preceptor system and hopes to extendit throughout his province.Massachusetts Gamma has since AprilI of this year enjoyed a preceptor. W. C.Kay, who spent his undergraduate years atthe University of Minnesota and was an activemember of Minnesota Alpha, is the preceptor.He is working toward his doctor'sdegree at M.I.T. Mortimer P. Williamsreports as follows: "While the system is toonew to hazard any worthwhile predictions'Bill' is giving the job the best of his abilityand will, I believe, do us much good despitethe shortness of the time he has availablebefore the close of the term."W. E. Slabaugh has served as preceptorfor Ohio Eta since 1931. He is an instructorat Case, and is an alumnus and formerpresident of that chapter. George B. Bodwellreports that a decided improvement wasnoticed almost immediately, O A 0 rising inone year from eleventh to fifth position inscholarship. He says, "This rise can be directlytraced to the preceptor system in generaland 'Watty' Slabaugh in particular.'Watty,' without resorting to disciplinarymeasures has been able to gain the respectand co-operation of all the active members,the result being a new outlook on the situationand a new spirit that has carried thefraternity forward not only in scholarshipbut in activities and general interest aswell." This testimonial is substantiated bythe fact that Ohio Eta recently won theCleveland trophy, awarded to the chapterin the Fraternity most outstanding in thatdivision of institutions included within thecompetition.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor June, 1933 343Ohio Zeta had as preceptor for two yearsRichard S. Clark. At the end of that timeBrother Clark completed his post-graduatework and a sucessor was not named. Thechapter reported that the system was withoutdoubt a strong factor in raising the scholarshipstandard of the chapter. It was felt,however, that a man selected from the graduateschool is not sufficiently advanced inyears to be in a position to render much assistancein raising the chapter's moral andcultural attitude.Oklahoma Alpha discontinued the planafter having had a law student serve themfor two years. They were unable to finda suitable successor.Roland Parker, an alumnus of DavidsonCollege has been acting for North CarolinaBeta for two years—with splendid results.It is reported that Wisconsin Alpha andVermont Alpha both have now adopted thesystem.The experiences of O A 0 seem to bewell expressed in the summary of the committeeto the National Interfraternity Conference:"Given a man of the proper personality,working in a receptive chapter withadequate financial support, better scholarshipis sure to result, and it may reasonablybe expected that better cultural tone, bettermoral tone, and better intellectual attitudeswill also be outcomes. With such resultsfraternity membership will receive theunanimous endorsement of college authorities,parents, and alumni; and thus will bejustified to a much greater extent than hasever been the case in the long history ofAmerican fraternities."Clowning for a Vacation(Continued from page 335)wherever possible. It is one of the greatestfun organizations in the world, and Joy saysit was made for people like him. From timeto time it has been headed by a banker inWashington, D.C, the president of tworailroads, and a prominent attorney in theSouth.There is an interesting and enthusiasticgroup of Circus Fans in Spokane, headedby Harper Joy, and each year during theChristmas holidays they stage a Christmasparty for the children of the city's orphanages.All the members make up as clowns,and visit the Spokane Children's Home andthe Hutton Settlement, one of the largestendowed orphanages in America. The"clowns" cut their capers, show motion pictures(circus pictures if possible) and passout crackerjack and candy. Last year theyalso gave each of the kiddies a toothbrush(the connection between crackerjack andtoothbrush was almost too direct, Joy stated).So you can see that at least one boyhoodambition has resulted not only in personalenjoyment for the little boy who wanted tobe a clown, tut in lasting efforts toward thehappiness of others. I wasn't surprised, therefore,when Joy the Clown said enthusiastically,"How can you get the most fun outof a circus? Wait at the front door until allthe cash customers have gone in, and see thelittle ring of kids standing around justwishing with all their little hearts that theyhad the price of a ticket."Then go up to the window and buy ahandful of children's tickets, and distributethem to the kids standing there, and watchtheir faces light up with gratitude and joy.You may be sure of being remembered bythem, and if that isn't better than living ona church window, then I don't know anythingabout immortality!"

ShallCollegeAthletesBe Paid.?By J. F.G.MILLERPurdue, '03(THE SCROLL is glad to give sfaceto the joUowing article by BrotherMiller, an outstanding Purdue athleteoj three decades ago, expressing viewsat vanance with those gvuen in an editorialin the February SCROLL.—TEDITOR.)HE editorial in the February SCROLLdeals with the old subject of the properrelationship between sport and lifein general. Since college education is ayoung man's preparation for life, both vocationaland avocational, then so far assport and sportsmanship are taught and directedunder the official supervision of collegeauthorities, they should be correctlytaught. All the rhetoric, calculus, botanyabsorbed in the classroom, which a youngman retains in his memory after he has beengraduated, will have small consequences inrelation to the satisfactions of life, includingthe regard in which he is held by his fellows,if in the meantime, he has acquiredan erroneous attitude toward play andsportsmanship.J. F. G. Miller, Purdue,There is without doubt a great deal of subsidizingof athletes in colleges. The primary reasonfor this fact is the profit that is made directlyor indirectly from the practice by the institutionsof learning and those connected with the game:the presidents of colleges and coaches, game officials,sporting writers, college town businessmen, and others who obtain financial advantagesfrom the existence of the ballyhoo attendant onintercollegiate sport. Some colleges derive a profitfrom gate receipts above expenses. Even wherethis is not true, the system of providing large athleticspectacles is continued from reasons of publicity.Almost every institution of learning mustdepend on taxing bodies or private benevolence forgrowth if not for maintenance. A successful footballteam softens the heart of the legislator, asit does of the opulent alumnus—at least it isthought so.The forms which subsidizing takes are various.Some schools frankly pay salaries. The techniqueis usually more subtle than that. Alleged "scholarships"are awarded to athletes which are nothingmore than devices for handing out cash. Muchwork is done by athletes legitimately. Many athletesare self supporting, although much work ispaid for which is never performed. The "scholar-[344]

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor June, 1933 345ship" evil is largely absent from the variousconferences of colleges.In one large conference there are several verylarge schools and others not so large. Some ofthese schools have the geographical location^ theathletic excellence and the physical facilities toreap great rewards through gate receipts. Othersare not so fortunately situated. The first class ofschools will not schedule football games with theother class for the reason that the stadia of thelatter are not large enough. To refuse to play anatural rival for the reason that the gate receiptswould be small does not augur well for the possibilityof a diminution in the practice of proscribedproselyting of athletes and payment of somesort for their services. There have been "gates"amounting to $200,000 or more. Problems involvingnice questions of ethics are not likely tobe resolved on the side of amateurism where asum of $2oO}Ooo is concerned.Some years ago a committee was appointed inthe Big Ten Conference to consider this serioussubject. Of course nothing was accomplished. Gatereceipts were too important. However, a committeeof alumni representing the institutions undertookto carry on and made some recommendationswith the idea in mind of improving the administrationof athletics. All recommendationsmade by this committee to the faculty representativeswere ignored with the exception of one.This referred to a rule of the Big Ten then on thebooks committing the organization to a policyof progressively reducing the expense of the conductof sport and the gate receipts derived therefrom.The committee asked that this rule beenforced. The Representatives responded by abolishingthe rule, and the gate receipts thereupon increased.These things are mentioned to show the causesof the present condition and to illustrate the difficultysurrounding any attempt to make and enforcestrict rules of amateurism.What of the boys? Without denying that mostboys playing football derive a great deal of pleasureand physical benefit from it, yet they areundeniably exploited in the interest of gate receipts.In using their enthusiasm and efforts inthe making of money, during the process of whichthey must without question be aware of the factthat there is cheating going on with ofiicial knowledge,the moral sensibilities of the boys are dulledduring the period of their character formation,and this damage is irreparable. Another practicenot harmonious with the ideals of good sportsmanshipis the scouting of games in which highlyefficient professionals diagnose plays and tacticsof an opponent in advance of a contest. Spiesin war are shot at sunrise. The use of a mirroror marked cards in a bridge game is not consideredgood form. The use of an almost unlimitednumber of players in a game illustratesthe fact that if numbers will win rather thanskill, the coaches are willing that it be so. Awrestling match in which one good man from asmall school might be opposed by four good men insuccession representing a larger school, would typifya similar situation.These practices are an inevitable outgrowth ofthe insatiable desire to win. If numbers can overcomeskill, they are used. If dollars can overcomedimes, there is no hesitation. Why should the bestman win! It is not contended that playing to winis reprehensible J quite the opposite is true. If agame is worth playing it is worth winning—withinthe rules of the game and practices of goodsportsmanship. No coaching staff, however clever,can win "big time" games with inferior players.If boys don't happen to attend the school, theyare induced to attend, and often the most powerfulinducement is money, however disguised. But,it is proposed to make the boys honest by statute,by legalizing the payment of money, or its equivalent,thus ending all troubles. Is it possible thatallowing certain financial concessions to athleteslegally, would stop the offer of further concessionsillegally, where large gate receipts are atstake? The history of all athletics proves that notto be the case. The expense accounts of internationaltennis players and Olympic athletes are casesin point. The instance of British soccer playerswho demand not only all expenses, both necessaryand otherwise, but "work time" as well, is another.The cupidity of man does not cease withthe possession of small pay—neither among hodcarriers nor football players. How does it helpto allow tuition to athletes on the theory that itcan not be stopped, if the payment to playersof salaries can not be stopped at the same time?Now, further on the practical side of this question,if it is allowable to pay tuition for an athlete-student,then by the same line of reasoningroom and board may be paid for, and salaries maybe paid. If the main idea is to avoid hypocrisy,why not recognize the situation and allow salariesout of gate receipts? We would then have aprofessional ball league representing the colleges.What would be the result? The first thing thatwould happen, if men were openly paid for theirservices, would be that they would be held strictlyaccountable for results as they are in any otherprofessional enterprise. All members of the teamwould become frankly professional in attitude asthey do now in schools in which unethical practicesopenly exist. There would be practically nosense of loyalty toward the professional athlete.He would be praised if he won and damned if helost. It is true in all professional athletics. Footballwould cease to be a sport; it would become aprofession and games would become mere athleticexhibitions—on a par with a juggling act on thestage. Could such an influence be considered as adesirable thing in college life?Before the dawn of history the strongest manwas king, or the fleetest man. Brain power was

346 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta jor June^ 1933given scant consideration. Surviving in man todayis that prehistoric admiration for the physicallysuperior man. It is a means of nature plantedin the consciousness of man for the good and sufficientreason that physical fitness is necessary tosurvival and always has been. A spectator seeshimself in the fast halfback. His pleasure in watchinga smashing home run is derived from the factthat his subconscious self leaps back countlessgenerations to the time when he, as Ug the Terrible,slung a stone which smote the forehead ofsome prehistoric Goliath. Men dally with theseideas. They are the subject of day dreams, particularlyof youth. They are the foundation stoneof athletic sports. Every game is a psuedo war.Colleges have corrective exercises in their gymnasia;they have intramural sports, in additionto intercollegiate football. The reasons for theseactivities are two fold. First, to make men physicallyfit so that their brains will have proper housingin which to carry on work; second, to providediversions and recreation as a relaxation from(brain) work. They are not properly pursuedas an end. The primary purpose of the college isto train the brain. Of course, it requires brains tobe a good athlete, generally speaking, but the purposeof the college is not to develop bodies forphysical work, but to take exceptional brain capacityand to train and educate it for things higherthan physical work. When this is said it is realizedthat physical work is perfectly honorable andnecessary, but colleges are not necessary for thepurpose of making physically strong men stronger.Colleges are wrought out of the sweat of the taxpayerand out of the savings of the philanthropistto provide a place where instruments for the bettermentof the race may be forged.No matter how honest or honorable a professionalball player may be, he is looked down uponas an intellectual human being. This may be rightor wrong, but it is probably due to the fact thatthe human race, in its urge to improve and excel,senses that a man of brains should be able tomake a living or contribute to the welfare ofsociety by some other way better than with hismuscles.A specious argument used in support of the ideathat "scholarships" should be given to athletesas such, is that colleges make available scholarshipsin journalism, oratory, debating, music, etc., andwhy not for the athletes. In the first place, thelatter are legitimate scholarships, and in the secondplace, why should they not be allowed for professionalpursuits? The proper object in attendingcollege is to acquire knowledge of the variousarts. They are frankly professional enterprises andshould be so regarded and rewarded. Oratoryand debating are used by teachers, preachers, lawyers,statesmen in their professions regardless ofthe fact that the study of these arts in collegemight be extra-curricular. Why should any comparisonsbe made between these professions andfootball unless one means to advocate the teachingof football playing as an honored professionto follow after the student leaves school?To call intercollegiate football a sport and atthe same time openly subsidize the athletes is agreater hypocrisy than the one it is sought toeliminate. Sport is sport only as long as all contestantsenter on the same basis of playing for thelove of the game, love of contest and pleasure incompeting with their fellows, with no taint ofselfish financial interest.In all this world there ought to be some humanactivity devoid of commercialism. Accordingto American ideals, religion, marriage, andsport should be free from money considerations.To teach young men that money can be made outof playing a game for sport, that money can bemade out of some religious graft as a business,that to marry a rich girl for her money is a slickthing to do, all come in the same category. Collegeis no place for Inculcating these ideas. It isnot necessary for any one to play football, and it isindefensible, ethically, for college presidents todemand bigger gate receipts on one hand whileon the other they have the hypocrisy to gesticulatedeprecatingly against practices which must necessarilybe carried out if the wanted gate receiptsare to be obtained. There is no more ethical justificationfor an educational institution to utilize asport for money-making purposes than there is forthe individual student. There is, in fact, less.THE SCROLL, having the influence it has withyoung men, should advocate what is right ratherthan what seems to be expedient.0—\ILLINOIS Alpha at Northwestern has announcedplans for keeping the chapter houseopen during the summer for the accommodationof visitors to the "Century of Progress,"the 1933 World's Fair at Chicago.All services given during the year will beoffered in the summer with the possible exceptionthat meals may not be served.

EDITORIALSEDITORIALS inFraternities and two fraternity j ourthePresidency nals in recentmonths have strucknotes which we had hoped might beomitted from all such pages in 1932-33, election and inauguration years.One attributed Herbert Hoover's defeatto the lack of leadership withwhich he has been charged and creditedthat in turn to his not having belongedto a fraternity as an undergraduateon the Stanford campus. Theother sounded a veiled note of jubilationat the triumph of a fraternitymember last November over a "barb,"the first to have occupied the WhiteHouse in several administrations.[353]With all due respect to our felloweditors' opinions and convictions we respectfullyprotest that they do the fraternitysystem little credit by such assertions.It is, to say the least, farfetchedto assume that Mr. Hoover'sunfortunate lack of contact with an undergraduatechapter at Stanford wasthe factor which, some four decadeslater, caused his defeat in his campaignfor re-election as President of theUnited States.Many will recall the story whichwent the rounds of the fraternity presssome months ago that Mr. Hooverwas once pledged to a prominent fraternitybut turned in his pledge buttonout of loyalty to his non-fraternityfriends. We recall also the testimonyof Stanford fraternity members of hisown day to the effect that as leader ofthe non-fraternity group in campuspolitics Hoover was a foeman worthyof their greatest respect. We recall,too, that Mr. Hoover's subsequent careerin many parts of the world and inmany positions demonstrated a considerablecapacity for leadership.As to the other point, it is decidedlyungracious to flaunt any open rejoicingat the victory of one man overanother for such a high office, if basedmerely on the fact of one man's fraternitymembership as against theother man's lack of it. We in Phi DeltaTheta are naturally proud of the factthat Benjamin Harrison, friend of theFounders and a man whom we are entitledto call Brother, served a term inthe office which is the highest gift ofhis countrymen. Nine other fraternitiescan experience a similar feeling ofgratification. But this pleasure is betterif reserved within the confines of ourown group which understands its motives.We can also feel a sort of vicarioussatisfaction that of the latest twelvePresidents eleven have worn the badgeof a Greek-letter fraternity. The greatestsignificance in the fact is probablyas evidence that fraternities select themost outstanding undergraduates afterall and that superficial polish is not theprimary criterion for membership. Butto express satisfaction so publicly at thevictory of a fraternity member over anon-fraternity man is merely to openthe fraternity system to another chargeof snobbishness.The vital issue of a man's fraternitymembership or lack of it, or of whatfraternity he is a member, loses muchof its vitality after he is away from collegeprecincts. We hope we may bepardoned any charge of heresy at sucha statement. We know some first rate(Continued on fags 384)

The Alumni ^B Club ActivitiesRelayed News fromDEAR BROTHER FITZGIBBON:LAST SPRING I had an experience which Ithink would be interesting to alumni club members.I dropped out of school a year ago lastChristmas and secured a job as cadet on a freighterwhich was making a trip around the world.

The gentleman incharge was a fine chap, and he accorded us everycourtesy in showing us about the station and explainingits operation. On leaving he chanced toask if any of us happened to be Phis, and it surprisedme so to find a brother In Honolulu thatCHARLESTON CLUBENLARGED TO INCLUDENEAR-BY PHISGov.
