The life of every Phi,whether now living or dead,is an inseparable and treasurablepart of his fraternity.IN anticipation of the Washington convention every activePhi should study earnestly how the interests of the fraternitymay there be advanced. Fortunately, our problems are thoseof improvement and little remedial action of any kind isneeded. Our general system of government demands littlechange, but there are always before us questions of betterpractical administration. The development of the fraternitytoward the accomplishment of all that of which it is capableis the matter of our most intelligent consideration. To the endthat the coming convention may be the most beneficial in ourhistory, each chapter and alumni club should select its delegatejust as soon as possible. Delegates, chapters, clubs andgeneral ofiicers should review the minutes of the last convention,re-read the discussions in our periodicals, and discussamong themselves all the matters and questions with which itmay seem to them that the Washington convention shoulddeal. Let us determine that this occasion shall forever benoted for deep, earnest interest and practical good accomplished,as well as well as for delightful fraternal associations.
