Sill Wa along s a quiet sort but he was a man cast as str noble and exalted lines. With courage as a ong as the lion, his spirit was as gentle lttenta~ornan's. Possessed of a remarkable alist. ti-· he was an attractive conversation­l:y enri hts store of knowledge was immense­~ersar c ed by extensive travels and his con­tertai~n Was always rich in thought and en-

ent. His ready wit sparkled with a

freshness of resplendent dew 1n the early morn.

As Supreme Treasurer of the Fraternity he was unduly careful in his work. The purse strings of the brotherhood were guarded with unflagging devotion by Brother Fogarty.

Bill is gone. That is a fact ofttimes hard to realize. Sometime it is with difficulty that we make ourselves believe that he has passed on. Doubtless it is the spirit of the man that makes this belief persist. His was a spirit of kindliness, gentleness, and calmness that gripped the hearts and minds of those who knew him. That is no easy thing from which to be released.

So we say, that though Brother Fogarty has gone on, his spirit lives on. Pi Kappa Phi has moved forward because of him. She will still feel the influence of his great spirit.

T HERE are many fine and noble words in our language. To the mind of the editor

loyalty is one of them. It comes to keep com­pany with such words as duty, brotherhood, love, mother, and home.

In a few short days, many brothers will be leaving the chapter halls and college walls and going out into the world to carve out their destiny. In the years that lie ahead

theirs will be a time of struggle and contest, work of body and mind for their place in the scheme of everyday life.

To these seniors we would give a hint of warning. These years in college and associa­tion with your brothers in Pi Kappa Phi have been most pleasant. You will doubtless say they are the happiest of your life. So when you leave behind you the faces you have grown to love, carry with you the memories of your brothers and the times spent together. Be loyal to those back in college and in the chap­ter. Be loyal to the Fraternity that made this possible for you and gave you these pleasant associations and a college home for four years.

It will be easy to forget . It will be so easy to lose ourself in the turmoil of making a liv­ing. But be big enough to show this fine sense of loyalty and no matter what comes and what goes ever think of Pi Kappa Phi.

Of such is a Greater Fraternity.

By Ggo, .R. Sm~r-:'J'Z and vVrr.T.IAM A. HAR'l'Z

T rT.E death of Brother \iVilliam Fogarty, Supreme Treasurer of Pi Kappa Ph i, came as a distinct shock to the entire

Fraternity, no less so to his intimates in Charles­ton than to those in distant states. It is sti ll with a feeling of strangeness, almost of be­wilderment, that we attempt to record here some facts of his career, and our sense of the loss the Fraternity has sustained.

"Little Bill," as he was affectionately known among T-'i Kapps in Charleston, was the young­est of six chi ldren. He was born in Charleston, September 30, 1890; so that at the time of his death he was but thirty-four years of age, just entering the prime of life.

After graduating from the Charleston High School in June, 1906, he entered the College of Charleston in the fall of that year. In January, 1907, he was initiated into Alpha chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, and from that time to the clay of hi s Ieath his interest and devotion to its welfare

never wavered. At college he was a member of the basketball and track teams for four con­secutive years, a member of one of the literary teams and otherwise prominent in college activ­ities. As a student he was thorough and ener­getic. He was in tu rn Secretary and Treasurer of Alpha chapter and served as a delegate to various conventions. He was graduated with the class of '10.

After his graduation he entered the business world and fina lly chose for his career the field of fire insurance. For a number of years he was identified with the Equ itable Fire Insurance Company of Charleston, holding a responsible po ition. A year or so before his death he was elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Hiber­nian M utual Insurance Company of the same city. As such he was very successful in its man­agement and had mapped out a course for its future prosperity.

He was probably most active in fraternal mat­ters in the affa irs of the Charleston A lumni chapter, and was its President twice and once its Treasurer. To him the chapter owed almost

. . d . delr· 1 tts very extstence. He represente tt as a 1

gate to the tlanta Convention of 1923, whef he was singularly honored by being elected Stt·

1' F . 1'1 . honor preme reasurer of the -< rater111ty. 11s he prized highly, and filled the office with thor· oughness and distinction.

1 C 11' He was a devout member of the Roman a olic Church, a member of the Knights of Coltttii; bus, a member of the Hibernian Society ~ Charleston, one of the oldest societies of ht~ natal city, and was identifi ed with the Alt1111

Droth r Clyde \\ 'an·en, the Archon of the

chapter, acted a toa tma tcr. \\'hile space pro­hibit a li st of all of the speakers, it is sufficient to tate that there was a marked degree of fra­ternal pirit in evidence. The members of the new chapter showed a fine pirit and from the talk made there is no doubt but that they expect to carry on and to accomplish great things for Pi Kappa Phi. In one sense it i sad to hear the members of an old local speak so dearly of their fir t 10\·e a wa done upon this occasion, however the members of old Psi Delta realized that they were ente ring into a larger field and that they wou ld be of greater service to them­eh·es as well as to others. It was time for Psi Delta to go National, it

was fitting that they should go Pi Kappa l hi. Doth being founded about the same time at small Southern colleges they had many thing in common. r\lpha-Eta has had a gloriou past as a local, but the present members are not will­ing to stop at that- tht!y see beyond their own chapter-they see Pi Kappa Phi in its Tational scope.

There is plenty of opportunity for our new chapter to be of service not only to them elves, but to Howard Coll ege and to P i Kappa Phi throughout the nation. Alpha-Eta will remain our baby chapter for only fourteen days for by the time this article is in print , \Ipha-Thcta will claim this honor.

i\I ay Alpha-Eta ever be a shrine of devoted brotherhood and may he and her si ter tate chapter Omicron, join hand in hand in exempli­fying the principle and ideal of Pi Kappa Phi 111 the State of A labama.

'l'he abo,·e hi tory is a copy of an article which appeared in the 1923 Entre Nous (the a nnu al publication of Howard College). It will sen·e to give a littl e in ight into the his­tory of the fraternity and also the seriousness and esteem with which former members have regarded the fraternity.

J n explanation of the abo,·e it may be said that for everal years prior to J 900 Howard College had been closed to fraternitie as a result of the wa\'e of reaction which swept the country again t them about that time. In J 900 or J 901. the college wa again opened to fraternities and Psi Delta was immediately formed.

Since J 900 O\·er three hundred men have gone out from this fraternity. They are scat­tered in a ll parts of the world. They embrace c\·ery profc sional field and bu · ine . Among them are many men well known in their field of acti,·ity. I refer to such men as Clayton Crossland, the first Cecil Rhodes scholar from • \labama; Cary P. McCord, head of the med­ical school of the Uni,·er ity of Cincinnati; P. P. Burn , the greatest southern authority on Shake peare; and many others.

These twenty-fi,·e years of activity serve at once as a foundation of tradition and an in­centive to maintain the tandard set by these men for the fraternity.

Psi Delta Fraternity was rganized in 1900 b)· the following men: 1ell Durant Smith, \\"illiam Crawford, Thomas V. Neal, F. Hatcher \\'atkins and Albert Lee Smith. These far-sight cl men founded an organiza­tion, largely social in its nature, for the pur­pose of promoting fellowship and strengthen­ing the fraternal bond between elect male tu­clcnts of Howard College; to encourage scho­lastic excell ence; to uphold the traditions of the fraternity a nd the college, and the lofty

of good citi zenship.

At present the Psi Delta Fraternity is oc­

cupying a house owned by Howard College.

This house is located on the camp us. Feeling,

however, that the time has come when the fra­

ternity should own its own home, we have laid

our plans for a new home, to be ready for oc-

cupancy next year.

In order to realize this dream our alumni

haY e come to our aid. Colonel VI. A . Berry

has made us the following proposition which

will make possible t he erection of the new

home. 'l'he active members and the alumni

are to raise $3,000, Colonel Berry will make

us a loan of $15,000, and the college will give

us a lot. This would give our home an ap­

proximate valu e of $20,000.

effort of the Baptists was the founding of a chool which fitted in well with the life of th

The Founding of Howard College

In November, ] 84], the State Convention in es i n at Talladega decided to establish and

endow a co ll ege or university of high charac­ter and "in connection with the college or uni­versity" to maintain a theological depa r tment. \ Vhil e t he earlier manual t rainin g school had been maintained exclusively for stud nts of the ministry, the new in titution was to be a college or univers ity in connection with which a theological department was to be main­tained. It is of interest to note the broaden ­ing of the conception and the change of em­pha is placed on education by the convention of J841.

In December, 1841, a school was chartered, named in honor of John Howard, the Engli h Reformer, who ha clone more than any other man to correct abuses in English prisons. The fo ll owi ng January, J842, the school was opene I at Marion. The student body wa . campo eel of nine small boys. There was but one in structor, who enjoyed the title of presi­dent- amuel Sterling Sherman- a graduate of Middlebury College in Vermont, w h o had come to Alabama to occupy a position as tutor­in structor in the University of Alabama. Be­fore the end of the first session the enrollment had been increased to thirty-one. Additional faculty members were employed in the begin­ning of the next session and a beginning of a library was made. By the end of the third se s ion the new school had $'W,OOO endow­ment , 1,400 volumes in the library, and more than $1i,OOO worth of apparatus. By 181i3, the enclowment fund had re~ch c1 $!l0,000 and a campaign was on to double that amount. By the next year enthusiasm was running high, and it seemed that t h e coll ege was to be placed upon a securely firm basis. A great catastro­phe occurred, however, to hlie-ht the hopes of the fri nels of the young in st itution. A fire hrok out w hich swept away buildings, hooks, ;,ncl apparatus. Two of the students lost t heir

Removal to Birmingham

1\ phys ica l cha nge more important than eith er of its fires and more un settling than its war experi ence was the removal of the coll ege from Marion to Birmingham in 1887-8H. 'l'h bid s made lo the State Convention by Birm­ingham land companies were handsome in the number o f acres offered and the amount of cash pled ged, and it wa the feeling of the co n­vention and of most of the college faculty that th e change should be made. U pon th e arrival in East Lake of the faculty a nd students for the October openin g in 1887, it was found that the g r at Birmingham boom had co ll apsed and that it was impossibl e to redeem all the pledge. of mon ey. Tn fact it was with t he g- reate. t difficulty that $8,000 was rais d for the construction of two wooden temporary buildin gs, known to tradition later as "The Barn" and "The Mess Hall" until they gave place lo Renfroe Hall and Montague H al l in 1903 and 1906. respectively. For nearly ten yea rs the faculty carried t h coll ege finan ially almost without backin g . In J 889-DO the en­rol lm ent of students reached the 170 mark and th e ses. ion following rose to 206, the la rgest number that had matriculated in Howard at that time. The present main bulding was co mpleted in 1891.

The decade between J 890-1900 was o ne of st ruggle and sacrifice on the part of the fac­ulty to keep the institution going. Tn spite of th e heroic efforts the indebtedness of the col­lege reached an amount greater than ould haYe been rea lized from the sale of the coll ege property and land s. Finally, in lR!HJ. t he State

onvention in sess ion at Opelika decided to come to the relief of the faculty. A campaign was made and b y July, J 899, the en tire indebt­edness of the college had been paid. "ith the remo1·al of the ind eb tedn ess a new spir it be­ca me apparent in the a ffair s of the coll ege and from th e beginning of th e new century th e in ­stitutio n has had a steady growth.

Adeq uate lab­oratory and library facilit ies have been in­stalled, and the college is giving instruction in a modern efficient way. In 1913 the doors of the college were open to young wome11 and nearly three hundred have been enroll ed during the present session. In 191 i) a summ er school was inaugurated which has had a steady growth. The enrollment in it last session was about 500.

Up l KAPPA PHI HOUSE-Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity!" These words an­swered cheerily every telephone call at

the Orphic Literary Society House at East Lan­sing after four p. m., May 9. T he proud and practiced way in which the response was given indicated clearly to Brother E lmer Turnquist and myself the anticipation which had preceded the installation of our first chapter in the State of M ichigan. It indicated to the caller the change which had taken place; that the old Orphi c House was no more, not even the gold lettering on the door remained. 'l'he Orphic ociety had entered both temporally and spiritu~lly into P i Kappa Ph i. A bright new star had been added to its chapter roll.

Fol.lowing so closely upon ·the installation of Alph a-Eta at Howard College in Dirmingham, in the heart of the South, it was with nlli ngled feel­ings of anticipation that I traveled toward East Lansing, Michigan, there to officiate in the trans­formation of the local Orphic Literary Society into Alpha-Theta Chapter of P i Kappa Phi.

0 N May J -1-, 1!)25, five days after the ·name of the Orphic Literary Society was changed to Pi Kappa l'hi, the

name of the college was officially changed from "Michigan Agricultural College," to ' 'The Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science." While this change may no t seem sig nificant to a n outsider, to th e stu­dent body, and to pro pective stud ent , it m eans that the college will no longer be im ­peded in its progress by an inadequate and outgrown nam e. The entire name will be used only on official papers, the common title bein g, "Michigan State College."

The l\llichigan State Colleg·e is the oldest col ­lege of agriculture in the world, and today ranks foremost among the land-g-rant colleges. The college was founded in J 857. It was located in the woods, three and one-half mil es cast of Lansing. The littl e city of East Lansin g has g rown up around the college. The early years

------------------------------------------------------------------------------~ a score of beautiful suburb s ly in g along the shore of Lake Michigan. A lso there is China­town, L ittle Italy, the artists' colony, besides dozens of mu seum s, conservatories, observa­torie and radio-broadcastin g stations . In ad­clition to all this, we've still got a lake, a two­million-dollar municipal pier, a muddy river , t he steel mills, the stockyards and a whole lot of brand new sky-scraper s.

Really t his list doesn't begin to tell you the wonders of Chi cago. A n 1 after all, li stin g them m eans very little anyway. Very few peo­ple who come to Chicago get to know much about it. One of the things you can be sure of is that yo u're going to see the sights. There ar c so many different types of things to see that we're goin g to have it arranged for you to be o n the "go" during all your available time, delving into those very corn er s in which you are interested. In other word , those who seck more of the cultural aspect s of the city w ill put in most of their time that way, where­as a fellow w ho wants to k eep whirling in the gaiety of the town will get a chance to do that during most of his waking hours. No matter how m any times you've been h er e before, yo u' ll swear yo u never kn ew what Chicago was like until you came back from the con­vention.

\f\Te are su re about this convention business because we know we got the stuff to put it on. l"ully as important as the hou sin g and enter­tainment facilities is the organization to do th e job . Gath ered together here in the Chi­cago Alumni Chapter we have old Pi Kapp stand -bys from m any sect io ns of the country. 'J'hey a re all back of this proj ect , each one eager to do his bit to make this convention a w hale of a success. While the Chicago m en w ill handl e most of the work, th ey have been pledged the ab le assistance of all chapters in this part o f the country . And in additipn to all t hi s, we have secured the h earty cooperation of the Chicag-o Chamber o f Commerce which brings with it a speciali zed convention service, coverin g- transportation, hotels, publicity and m<~.ny littl e special serv ices.

Now you can see why we urg-e you to HAVE I<ATTH IN CHICAGO. H aven't we g iven you a few reasons w hy yo u can T-<OOK

But, in conclu ion, I would like to say that the safest way is to go in for long-time engagements, be sure of the girl and investigate her precedents. Precedents is the correct word, because, like one girl friend (who is now a member of the past generation) many, many of the fair dam el are "collectors" and have, as she did a "trophy board" upon which gleam ten to twenty like ill-fated bits of jewelry and man's spontaneou s gener-o ity, a attributes to his vanity.

The blame for thi s con lition is nry rightfully la id at the feet of the coll eges and their tru stees and faculti es. nut this paper is not intended to be a criticism of those ycry ancient and honorable bodies, but to offer a sugges tion that is not new, for th e correction or betterm ent of the present condition.

scattered college campuses tracked by Pi Kapps, should not we give seri ous thought to the pur­poses for which we dedicate them? And indeed, those older, less attractive and less commodious structures, which are and long have been our college homes, which have witnessed our initia-tions, housed our study hours, and seen some of us become men-should not these be daily dedicated by us to the same proper purposes as the mansions we dream will follow?

A chapter house should afford a place for the active chapter members to sleep, eat, study and conduct fraternity business, but should not stop at that. It should be equipped with piano, victrola and such other instruments and furnish­ings as are necessary for the proper and seasonal entertainment of its occupants. It should con­tain an atmosphere that would welcome friends of its members, whether fraternity men or not. No fraternity house should harbor snobs or exhale an atmosphere of snobbishness. The house should be so furnished and kept as to make every member proud to have his father or mother or sister visit it at any time and even un expectedly. And no member should have or tolerate anything or any conduct in the house that he would not freely permit another to bring into his own mother's home.

"Rather puritanical," I can hear some of my brothers say. Yes, especially to those who have the viewpoint of one, who, as an alumnus giving ad vice to his younger brothers on one occasion, tolcl them, "If you must have liquor, then for the love of us all, keep it in the house where

The season of J D25, however, will have as one of its feature offer in gs the brothers Car­ly le, of Detroit, and \ iVashington, and their chan ce of making good in the majors at one and the same time is said to be more than a bare possibility.

By Lours L. S1~Al\-L\N, >¥

A S soon as instruction ended Saturday, Apri l 4·, and the Spring Recess began, six Pi Kapps set out from Psi for an

extended so uth ern tour. The means of trans­portation was a veteran Buick, ow ned by Brother \ ;\/bite, and adorned with suitcases and a three-by-six Cornell banner. The ulti­mate destination was Charlotte, North Caro­lina, where five of the brothers, R. P. Mason, S. G. Paterson, M. B. White, R. 'vV. Cull , and L. L. Seaman were to remain as guest. of the s ixth, Br'other R. L. Price.

Undergraduates seldom worry about the purpose of such a venture, but the Psi brothers had in v iew a definite end to accomplish by the trip. They were, in fact, gu id ed by two purposes: one being to enjoy themselves to the utm ost among the beauties of Charlotte; the more signifi cant being to carry a message of brotherhood from Psi to some of the other chapters of Pi Kappa Phi. Psi is almost iso­lated geographica ll y, and it is only by such a trip that it can come into contact with other chapter s. One chapter, knowing of others through transferred students alone, tends to become too independent and to lose the ad­vantages of a national organi zation, and it was partly to remedy such a situation that the Psi brothers journ eyed to the Carolinas.

On Tuesday evening, April 7, the Pi Kapps from Psi and a number from Epsilon were g uests at a dinner of the Charlotte alumni chapter. The Psi men! were particularly in­terested in the messages of Brothers Harper, Youn g, and Rone of the alumni chapter. 'fhrou gh the secretary of the Charlotte Cham­ber of Commerce, who attended and spoke at the dinner, the Psi brothers were present the next clay, as guests of the Chamb er of Com­merce, at a lun cheon of the local Civitan a~. .

On Wednesday the Cornell brothers drove to Davidson and v isited l':psilon. They were made at home in the chapter rooms, and in spite of the regrettable fact that most of the

Ptcr a 1 1. . 1 'l'J . ong as memory tngers wtt 1 u . ho lc litle of !fa ter Mercerian is the highest du~~~ that can be conferred upon an indiYi­. it , )y the tudent body of Mere •r ntver­acJ;: !t is the big election of the year, and in

IC\' tn h' . g t IS honor, Brother McClam at-

tained the peak of his college career, a career of honor and of out tanding accomplishments.

Requirements for the Master Mercerian selection are based upon scholarship, promi­nence in coJlcge activities and trength of character. The tudent who wins this honor is considered, as his title infer , Mercer's most reprcsenta tiYe man.

Brother Joe McClain fir ·t aw the su n peep­ing o,·er the hilltops in the thriving metropo­lis of Ringgold, a littl e town boasting some fifteen hundred inhabitants, nest lin g I etween two s turdy mountain in the northwest cor­ncr of Georgia. 'L'he mountain zone, together with a generous supply of Georgia ham and eggs, helped to equip Brother 1cClain with a st rong body some s ix feet and odd inches in height- a po ses ion that enabled him to make the Yarsity football team for thr e ucce si,·e year at Iercer.

Graduating from prep chool with honor, Brother Me lain entered Mercer U ni,·ersity four years ago, made the var ity footbaJI squad hi following year and became promi­nent on the campu a a speaker and a debater.

H e ended his athletic career last yea r when he twisted hi s knee in a football game, di s­ab ling him to the extent that he was unable to play thi year.

Brother T cClain ha won many hon r at :Mercer- so many in fact that even hi s frater­nity brother and Joe him self have almost for­gotten ome of them. Among hi outstanding accomplishm ents, howeYer, would be the en­,·iabl e record he has mad a an intercoll giat debater, in which capacity he has repres nted his chool for the past four years against Southern college . He is a member of the Ciceronian Literary Society, the Mercer Round Tab le, exclusive honorary society, and the Delta Phi, local lega l frat rnity. La t but not lea t, he is a charter member of th lpha­,\lpha chapter of Pi Kappa Phi.

1\lthou g h thi s is nly Brother McClain' . fourth yea r at Mercer, he was g raduated from

[ 33]

'1' n Jo; S '1' A R A N D LA M P for MAY, 1 9 2 5

the Law School last year, after having been hon or man of his class for three years. For hi s excel lence in scholarship, he was awarded a pr ize in the form of a set of law books at his graduation. He has received the LL.B. degree, and is th is year a cand idate for the A.B. degree in the School of rts and Sciences. Proof of his legal abil ity may be seen in the fact that Brother McClain is an assistant pro­fe ssor in the Law School thi s year.

Perhaps the best way in which to sum up I rother Joe McClain's character would be in the account of Brother Pau l \ \Talker's first impression of Joe-a story Brother Walker him self enjoys telling.

Brother· \ Va lker first saw Joe McClain at the Pi Kappa P hi conve ntion in Atlanta. At first glance, Brother \iValker breathed heavily a nd excla im ed, "Gosh, that's the ugliest man T e1·er saw," add ing t houghtfully-"but I'll bet he' s honest."

Soon after the inci lent, Brother McClain was appointed F ifth Distr ict Chapter Inspec­tor of the fraternity.

Brother vValker's surmise tn regard to Brother McClain was correct. Joe McClain is honest-hon est with him self, his fellow men, hi s God, and hi s frater nity.

0 !'\ Friday e\·ening, April 17, Zeta played the role of ho t at the annual banquet which

was th e center of attraction for our brothers in thi s part of the world .

There were gathered at the "festive board" ;tbout fo rty happy, care-free Pi Kapps, who seemed to ha,·e put off from them the burden of worldly affa irs and to have absorbed the atmosphere of pleasure, and why should they not feel thus? For by the side of each brother, from the oldest alumnus to the youngest f resh­man, was seated the "fair queen of hi s heart."

:-\ rchon J. T. H udson, acting as toastmaster, afte r a few words of welcome, introduced Brother J. N . Holcombe.

It was unfair not to give the ladies a chance to reply, and so J\Jiss Marjorie H udson, by her charming and delightful words, sent a thrill through e\'ery J' i Kapp present.

Then B rother Hoole, of the A lumni chapter, satisf ied a desire which delighted all , when he

men. Three arc from the fr eshm an class, one from the sophomore a nd one from the junior class, as follows: F. H. Bagg, vVilmington, N . C.; L. H . Bishop, Durham , N. C.; A. V-l. Pegram, \ Vin ston-Salem, N. C.; S. Vv. Pick­ens, A lb emarle, N. C., and J. W. Shipley, Shangha i, China.

Brother Bagg, a sophomore, is certain to make us a good fraternity man, especially on the basketball court. Last year he easily won hi s num eral on the freshman basketball team, and this year by hard work and a good shoot­in g eye promptly made a place on Coach Buck­hcit's tea m and consequently made hi s letter. Hrother Bagg hold s the list inction of scorin g the first point for Duke U nivers ity in athl eti c contest, for h e mad e the first score in the ini­t ial basketball gam e of the year which lnct­dcntally was Duke's first athletic co ntest. vVe

Next in line comes J. E. Dempster. Demp­. ter li terall y pitched hi s way through coll eg·e, but he was a man of much prominence on the campus, for hi s ac hi evements were many. For hi s record we will say t hat he was a n all-state and all-southern pitcher , a memb er of a south­ern championship team, member of the Tombs, member of the Red Friars, member of the Stu­dent Council, member of the Pan-Hell eni c C unci! , President of hi s Junior class, meml er of the Iota Gamma Pi, a cientific fraternity, and an a ll -round good fellow.

C. H. Pegram divided his time between the ladies and the college publication . His activ­ities cetr1tered a round T!tc Archive, a monthly literary publication, of which he became man­ager in hi s Se nior year. He managed the busi­ness en I so well that it is our private opinion t int he made om e extra "jack."

~1. I. Picken was another valu able man in th is yea r 's class. He wa a member of the football team, manager of ba ketball , member o f th e J~ed Friars, member of the Tombs, vice­president of a literary society.

ther men w ho are not seniors, but who de­serve cr dit for their work t hi s year are: . H. Borland, who is doing well in college publica­tions and in other departments; C. D.

Much to our sorrow, the automatic scholar­ship rule caught two of our pledges napping and as a consequence, we lost two future brother . for the present at least. T r owevc r, we ha\'C recently added to our li st by the pledging of J. B. Towill of Batesburg, S. C., and he wi ll L':! initiated in the near future.

Drother Rudy Lane has ju t completed another successful basketball season and has now turned his attention to the baseball team. Brother Summerson made a great record for himself as a wrestler and was awarded a letter in this sport. Ire is now getting in trim to continue hi s work of last year with the track team. L rothcr McLeod an l P ledge Towill may be seen any afternoon now hard at work in the spring foot­ball practice which began a few day ago.

Brother \Vilson was recently plcclgecl to T'hi A lpha Delta, legal fraternity. Brothers Sum­merson, McLeod and Stallings are our new members in Kappa Deta Phi, social fraternity on the campus.

All in all , Rho seems to be holding up well under the stress of real old summer weather, and we hope to carry on the work of the chapter to the greater glory of old P i Kappa T'hi.

MERCER PI KAPPS GOING . STRONG

By 1\L\l,cou,I JoHNSON

A 131\.JLU:\\''l' character dress ball-to usc the hackneyed and time-worn .term of the

society editor-the election of new officers and the initiation of new men h~ve featured the chap ter activities of A lpha-Alpha chapter during the past few months.

'.!'he an nual g- iven by A lpha-A! ph a chapter, came as a glorious climax to one of the most success ful coll egia te years the chapter has en­joye l sin ce its in stallation.

A nd while Pi Yapps are not g ive n to brag­ing, we of A lpha-Alpha cann ot help being a little boastful over some of the recent activi-ties of our chapter on the campus, on the ath­letic fie ld and in the clas room. The dance left other fraternities, rel uctantly admitting that it was the brightest spot in the social sea­so n and one of the best dances ever g iven by a fraternity at Mercer. Therefore Alpha-1\lpha cann ot suppress the almost un controll­ab le desire to sit back and bask in the glory o[ r eal ach ievement, a lthough at the same time comes the realization that getting chesty over past achieYements does not insure future sue-cess.

Part of the success of our "g-rand" dance, as people of Macon and the surrounding sectiOJ1S o[ the country put it, is clue to variety of cos­tumes worn by the g uests- the other is clue to the downr ight h ard work of brothers .

The dance came as the first character dress affair probably ever g iven in Macon, and the array of ga rments worn that night, coupled w ith the artistic decorations in gold and white, added much color to the occasion. The ball roo m was decorated with palms banking the wal ls, festoons of Southern smilax, beautifu l

A-B BROTHERS RECEIVE HONORS

By DuFF A KooKT\R

T H f~GS haYen't been so up and roaring around here lately. Spring has come, or

pretty nearly so, and yet we ha,·e had no win­ter yet. Down here in the flowery, balmy "wint r capital of America" we wonder what il is like lo see snow and frost.

This brings us to the initiation of \Yilliam Hughe Thompson and Duff A. Kooken. P,iJI is by point of years "Jimmie's" little brother. hut by special dispensation of the chapter he is now Jimmie's "big brother."

Speaking of Jimmie, it shoull be mentioned that he will probably be a contender for laurels in th ten-mile cross-country events this spring, or anyway sometime within the next len year.. That i. , judging by the way he legged it away from the house on initiation day.

Pledge Philip \Vatson, Law '27, was one of the lucky six to receiYe Phi .\Ipha Delta bids.

The chapter was honored with a vis it from Supreme Seer tary George Grant during the last month, George having spent several clays with us. \\'c hope other alumni will follow hi. example and come down and get ac­quainted.

The Pan Hellenic dance was a rallying place for Pi Kapps . and had the roll hccn callccl there would have been mighty few black mark.

FLORIDA FRATERNITY SYSTEM BECOMING STRONGER

Hy ]. :.\f. 1'1·:. \RCJ·:

W lll ~)Z .\lpha-Ep ilon wa. insta lled it made the eighth muional fraternity located on

the campus of the Gn i1·er ity of Florida. The g rowth of the institution ha been unu sual and it is not peculiar that several nationals ha1·e con ­sider d this a fitting place for expansion. The lemocratic atmosphere ex1 trng among the

. tuclents and also between the students and fac ulty, tends towards a get-toge th er spirit.

Se1·eral fraternities ha1·e conducted an exper i­ment of providing board in the fraternity house but at pre ent only one maintains a dining hall. : \!though the possibility of se1·eral doing so 111 the nea r future is in lica tecl.

Since . \lpha-Epsilon was insta ll ed. Sigma hi has entered t he uni,·er. ity, and charter granted to the following fraternities: Phi Delta Theta, Delta Tau Delta, Sigma l)hi Eps ilon. Theta l(appa :\' u, Alpha Camma Rho (. \gTi ­cultural ), Tau Eps ilon Phi (Jewish J, and Phi neta Delta (Jewi h). Se,·eraJ of the e new comers on the campus ha ,-e attracti 1·e homes and will soon e. tab! ish themseh·es, so th price of good 111ateria l is becoming better.

From e1·ery indication there will be the ever­increasing number of freshmen next yea r and Pi Kappa Phi stands as good a cha nce to benefit as any fraternity. Tt is a lso fortunat in I> ing ab le to ca ll on a lumni from it s old er si ter chapter at St tson.

The aiel of the hi men ha. not lessened now that the chapter is installed, and this aid ha. been of unusual benefit·.
