His service on the general council for twoterms, in the arduous and important office of treasurer, followinga preparatory term as province president, has acquaintedthe whole fraternity with his worth, and made hima well-known figure in Phi Delta Theta affairs. THESCROLL also has frequently known his facile pen. BrotherDEWITT may be described as a conservative enthusiast forPhi Delta Theta. He is thoroughly in sympathy with thepresent administration of the fraternity's affairs, and hisappointment as editor will work for steady and harmoniousadvancement of the cause. A clear thinker, a tirelessworker, and possessor of the highest ideals of fraternityusefulness, Brother DEWITT'S acceptance of the editorshipgives the fraternity cause for sincere self-congratulation.Another announcement it gives us very great pleasure tomake is that Brother WALTER B. PALMER has consented toserve as assistant editor.
