THE SCROLL. 595intending to visit the Fair to be present during "Phi DeltaTheta Week."This idea has been carried out. The St. Louis alumniclub has taken up the matter with pleasure. The week ofJuly nth to i8th has been appointed "Phi Delta ThetaWeek," and arrangements have been made with the HotelHamilton for headquarters, and quarters for visiting Phis.It is not proposed to have any sort of formal program for theweek, and the St. Louis Phis will not consume any of thetime of the visiting brothers by attempting to entertain themin the conventional way. It is appreciated that they will behere to see the Fair, and they will be allowed to do so. Thecommittee appointed by the St. Louis alumni club for theoccasion has occupied itself therefore with the questions of(i) a time and (2) a hotel.The week of July nth to i8th is for local reasons the firstweek after the close of all the colleges at all feasible, and itis believed that more men will be able to come then than atany other time.
