THE SCROLL. 171OHIO ZETA, OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY.Since our last report we have initiated thirteen men, making -n. total inthe active chapter of twenty-one men. This is probably the largest chapterthat Ohio Zeta has had iu years, with the addition of several affiliates andnew men, we hope to have a chapter of twenty-five. We take great pleasurein introducing to the fraternity the following Bros: Glenn B. Southward,Charles C. Johnson, George E. Jones, James R. Johnson, WalterJohnson, Wallace B. Monnett, Edmund De Otstot Edgar W. Seeds, ArthurB. Brindle, Lee G. Warren, Gaines Laurence, Frank K. Carothers, andThomas B. Morris.Bros. Brindle and Warren are making excellent records on the varsityeleven. We are represented in the glee club by Bros. Prendergast, J.Johnson and Seeds. Ohio Zeta also expects to make a good showing inthe fraternity bowling league.The province convention recently held at Ann Arbor was quite a success,and especially so to us, in its effect of arousing enthusiasm towards ourcharter house. Bro. Waddell our delegate, brought back from the conventionmany good ideas- arid suggestions. Twenty-two from our chapter andalumni were in Ann Arbor on the last day of the convention, the Michigan-Ohio State game being played at that time.The chapter house corporation has instructed its secretary and treasurerto obtain an ojition on a lot, and with the cooperation of our alumni wesoon expect to have the chapter house movement well under way.Ohio Zeta earnestly requests that all Phis coming to Columbus shall payus a visit.C. C. SHERICK.Columbus, November, 1905.OHIO ETA, CASE SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCE.In the inishing season this year, Ohio Eta acquired her usual quota ofgood men. Last year several men were lost by overconfidence of the chapterin bidding, but this year all of the seven men bid were pledged. All ofthem were rushed by the other fraternities and this fact shows conclusivelythe prominence of Ohio Eta in Case.The initiation was held on Saturday evening, October 14, and the meninitiated were: Harvey B. Spelman, '06, Cleveland, Ohio; Ralph M. Rush,'08, Waterloo, Iowa; Chester W. Deane, '09, Cleveland, Ohio; WilliamFritz, '09, Mansfield, Ohio; Claude Mac Kenzie, '09, Cleveland, Ohio; PaulP. Tappan, '09, Mansfield, Ohio, and Ralph G. Traub, '09, Sandusky,Ohio. ' Leslie O. Parker, Ohio Beta, '07, was also affiliated. Almost theentire chapter went down to Columbus with the team October 28, on theoccasion of the Case-O. S. U. game.We regret very much that Bro. R. G. Robinson, Louisiana Alpha, '06,was compelled to return to Tulane November i, for the remainder of thecollege year.IJovember 9-11, Bros. IngersoU, Barkdull, Bourne, Ensworth and Converse(deelegate) attended the Delta province convention at Ann Arbor.Bro. Geo. S. Case, Ohio Eta, '04, was also there as delegate from the Clevelandalumni club. All who went reported a most excellent time andwere very favorably impressed with the Michigan chapter.The day of the Case-O. W. U. game, November 18, we had the pleasureof a visit from Bros. Figley, Scott, Allison, Craw and Sigler; alsopledged men Burns, Steger and Stillwell of the Ohio Beta chapter.The football championship of the '.'Big Six" will he in doubt again thisyear as it was last. Case and O. S. U. have each won all the games played.
