During the summer a number of liberaldonations were added to the college endowment, and the building ofthe beautiful new library is well under way. It has been conjecturedby many loyal Hanoverians that there is no sectarian school, withsuch equipment as Hanover has, that is as well off financially.irhe chapter returned with a numerical force of ten men, withwhich to select the desirable fraternity material among the incomingfreshmen. Bro. D. Masterson the only undergraduate not returning,will attend Decatur University this year.The spiking season was vigorous but short, and now that the smokeof battle has risen there is no doubt as to tne primacy of Phi DeltaTheta at Hanover.We take great pleasure in introducing the following brothers to thegeneral fraternity: William C. Snyder, '07, Milton, Ky.; Junius C.Rightor, '07, Helena, Ark.; M. Obrien Gore, '07, Lawrenceburg, Ind.;Donald Du Shane, '06 (pledged), South Bend. Ind.In football Capt. S. I.

League.Bro. Spalding represents Hanover on the state athletic board.On the college debating team, which meets Centre College the lastof November, we are represented by Bros. Hatfield and Spalding.Mr. O. T. Oglesby, B 6 n, is the third member of the team.The chapterhouse committee has been working hard the pastsummer and from reports it looks like Indiana Epsilon will be ableto enjoy a chapterhouse soon.Among the social pleasures, a smoker was given by the chapter toher prospective members at the beginning of the college year.The Alumni Association which has recently been organized atMadison, Ind., the chapter feels to be its greatest friend, as we havelong felt the need of such an association.
