The Phi Delta Theta Plaque
ELSEWHERE in this issue it is shown
how the success of the Ranger in
defending the America's Cup was in considerable
degree due to the skill of Burke
Wilford in finding and adapting materials
to the peculiar problem of the
ship's rigging. Another example of
Brother Wilford's fertile imagination and
his skill in translating ideas into material
form is the Phi Delta Theta Plaque. Devoted
to * A 0, he felt that the beautiful
new house of his chapter, Pennsylvania
Zeta, should bear some material evidence
of its dedication to the ideals of the
Fraternity. With characteristic insight he
designed a handsome bronze wall tablet
on which are inscribed some of the basic
principles of * A ®.
The tablet was exhibited at the Syracuse
Convention and immediately other
chapters desired replicas for their houses.
Claude M. Marriott, Syracuse '01, was
appointed to have charge of the production
and sale of the plaque, and the
General Council gave orders for the casting
of twenty-five copies. Over twenty
of these have already been set up in
chapter houses and orders are on hand
for the rest of them. New castings will
be arranged for as they are required. In
nearly every case the tablets have been
presented to the chapters by loyal
alumni,-sometimes by class delegations
or alumni' clubs. The,following chapters
now possess the plaque: Pennsylvania
Zeta, New York Epsilon, North Carolina
Beta, Ohio Epsilon, Ohio Alpha, Pennsylvania
Alpha, Minnesota Alpha, Texas
Delta, Rhode Island Alpha, Virginia
Zeta, Maryland Alpha, Pennsylvania
Beta, Pennsylvania Epsilon, Pennsylvania
Theta, Indiana Zeta, Nebraska Alpha,
New York Zeta, Colorado Alpha, Washington
Gamma, Ohio Zeta, Illinois Eta,
Washington Alpha.
