112 THE SCROLL.In the lower left corner of the shingle is the seal of the fraternity,embossed in two tints of blue. The certificate isprinted on parchment vellum cardboard, 7x9 inches. It wasmade as small as possible, as the fashion in shingles is forsmall designs. The appearance is elegant and artistic.The first proofs were made on July 5 and submitted to thegeneral council, and the first edition of the shingles from thenew plate was shipped to the S. G. C. on September 6.It is understood, of course, that the S. G. C. signs his nameto the certificates, and that the other blanks for signatures areto be filled by the chapter officers. The blanks for the nameof the intrant, the date of his initiation and the name of hiscollege or university should be engrossed by a skilled penman.For this reason it is desirable that several shingles beengrossed at the same time. It will also be more convenientfor the S. G. C. to distribute shingles for all chapters at onetime than at different times, and they will be less liable todamage in the mails when several are sent together betweenboards than when they are mailed singly. It will probablybe found best for the S. G. C. to send to each chapter itsquota of shingle blanks after February i every year, when themembership reports of chapters to the H. G. C. show thenumber of initiates during the previous twelve months.OFFICIALMAKERSDETROIT, MICH.PHI DELTA THETA BADGESNOVELTIES AND STATIONERYADVANTAGE OF LONGEST EXPERIENCE, ORIGINATORSOF UP-TO-DATE METHODS OF MANUFACTURING ANDDESIGNERS OF NOVELTIES IN JEWELRY OF REALARTISTIC MERIT, COMBINED WITH A MODEST PROFITADDED TO COST OF PRODUCTION, HAVE MADE OURGOODS THE STANDARD IN PHI DELTA THETA.WRITE US FOR* BK, PROFESSIONAL ANDCATALOGUE ON REQUEST TECH.
