354 THE SCROLL.put one in at Washington and Lee soon. The catalogue isnearly ready, but I cannot say how soon it will be out. Letme have your constitution as altered before I go to the convention.—A.G. Foster, Indiana University, to W. B. Palmer,University of California, March lo, 1878.Your revised constitution was received Saturday and yourletter today. The constitution I think very fine. I am goingto Indianapolis some day this week to see Norris, and I wantto take it with me for his perusal. I will be glad to present itto the convention. About two weeks ago, Norris told me thatI am expected to take the business management of THESCROLL. I don't know whom in the world I am going tochoose as editor, as Norris wanted me to make my ownchoice. I wish you were further East, and I would determine"mighty sudden." THE SCROLL shall be started again, ifsuch a thing be possible. The Lombard boys have securedthe Illinois Delta charter and will send an official delegate,being taxed the same as other chapters, though in the nameof Illinois Delta. The Illinois Wesleyan boys number aboutthirteen, and will send a man to the convention to look aftertheir interests. Virginia Epsilon is chartered and catalogued.I have sent a copy of Indiana Delta's by-laws to Robbins, atTrinity College, North Carolina.—George Banta, Franklin,Ind., to W. B. Palmer, University of California, March 11,1878.Accept my heartfelt thanks for the establishment of NorthCarolina Alpha at Trinity. Virginia Epsilon is all right andhard at work. Virginia Beta is doing finely and has goodprospects. Virginia Gamma's men are mostly seniors, but Ithink the chapter will come out all right. Our chapter, VirginiaDelta, is all straight. Our roll gives the names of twelvePhis at Richmond College, and the number in the city isalmost enough to start an alumni chapter. Kentucky Gammais about gone, no rivalry proving its ruin. L. L. Bristow,now of the University of Virginia, was the mainstay in keepingit up. John Rogers, who is a noble man and a good Phi, isthe only Phi now at Georgetown College.—G. W. Cone,Richmond College, to W. B. Palmer, University of California,March 12, 2878.The charter for Virginia Epsilon has been signed by theState Grand. Received a letter from Keitt the other day; hespeaks cheeringly.—T. M. Hobbs, Helena, Ala., to W. B.Palmer, University of California, March 14, 1878.
