158 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for December, 1937
The Delta Weekly, a bright "journal of fact
and opinion" published at Greenwood, Mississippi,
whose Advisory Board lists the names of
two Phis, WILLIAM M. GARRARD. Mississippi '04,
and WILLIAM T. WYNN, Mississippi '12, contains
in its Volume i. Number 1, an interesting article
concerning a new agricultural enterprise by JOE
PRITCHARD, Vanderbilt '06. He has discovered that
the bottom lands of the Mississippi Delta are admirably
adapted to the growing of oats, and is
securing record-breaking yields, much of which
he has sold at high prices for seed. It appears
that he is pioneering in an enterprise that will
bring about an important change in the farming
of the district. The article includes the following
paragraph: "Mr. Pritchard, big of stature,
friendly of face, is a graduate of Vanderbilt University
where he joined the Phi Delta Theta
Fraternity. His son [JOSEPH G. PRITCHARD, JR.,
Vanderbilt '34], who is with him now in his
planting enterprises, also attended Vanderbilt
and is a member of his father's fraternity."
The Phi Delta Theta Club of New York, in
fact A 9 Fraternity, hereby places verbally
around the recently established entrance of Barrett
Herrick & Co. Inc., at 68 William Street,
New York, a sizeable, durable horseshoe of carnations-purest
Phi white. Brother BARRETT HER­
RICK, President of the New York Alumni Club,
popular throughout Philand, has established his
own brokerage business in the heart of the New
York financial community. He has branches in
Syracuse, Baltimore, and Kansas City. Incidentally,
there is one of those many effective Phi
Delt teams in operation here. Brother W. H. C.
"Squire" Grimes, Syracuse '14, is Senior Vice-
President and boss of the Syracuse branch. Every
form of good luck, Barrett 1—E.W.G.
DANIEL J. FAUSTMAN, California '37, has been
granted one of the fifteen Harvard Traffic Fellowships,
providing a year's graduate study of
highway and traffic subjects. The stipend is
$1200 plus $200 for travel and field investigation.
The candidates were selected partly on the basis
of their college and professional records and
partly as the result of interviews which showed
that their personalities would stand them in good
stead in future traffic work with officials and the
public. Brother Faustman received his engineering
degree at the University of California in 1937,,
submitting a thesis entitled "Design of Highways
to Embody Safety."
