K. Ruick and Wm. H. Morrison, Jr. It enrolls 186 membersin Indianapolis and 115 in the immediate vicinity—49 ofthem-, at Franklin. The Hoosier capital has long been a* A 0 stronghold. In this list of 301 men are many Phiswho have rendered important services to the Fraternity; andmany men of conspicuous prominence in their various professions.This is the second edition of the directory (thefirst having been printed in 1901); it is conveniently arrangedand reflects much credit on its editors. We hope that similardirectories will be issued by Phis in many other cities.We are glad to note the enthusiasm of Bloomington, 111.,Phis, as shown in the following clipping from The Pantagraph,of December 7, 1903:"The # A 9 fraternity, which some years ago, was a notable factor inBloomington social life, was brought together in a delightful reunion onSaturday evening. It was the occasion of the annual banquet, and this yeara special effort was made to get out-of-town members present to enjoy therenewal of brotherly ties. The consequence was that about thirty-fivemembers residing in Bloomington and nearby towns gathered at the IlHnois,where the meeting was planned. A supper was served, followed by a numberof impromptu speeches by nearly every member present. In all, itproved to be one of the best attended and most delightful gatherings ofmembers of the fraternity that has been held for several years."AVestminster Phi Delta Thetas are in the chapter house procession.Their current chapter letter shows that they havepurchased a lot in a handsome location, in Fulton, with theintention of erecting a chapter house before September. Wetoss up our hats with gladness and congratulate them uponthis beginning of the realization of their cherished plans. By
