IT H the reopening of the colleges comes

again greater opportunities for fraternal

growth and service in the Fraternity. I

extend greetings particularly at this time to

our undergraduate brothers, now assembled for the

work of the school year 1925 -2 6. Need I urge you

to try to make the year a most successful one? You

are now either (( looking over" or have taken in many

new men. There lies your greatest personal responsi­

bility ; be sure these are given all possible encourage­

ment and help in order that they may develop into

leaders and good citizens, with good results to them­

selves, the Fraternity, and mankind.

Let our record be one of accomplishment;

strengthened by new and alert men, let every chapter

stand out as a model of manhood, courage, and energy

among the fraternities on its campus.

Fraternally,

J~· ~

Supreme Archon.

any.

Scholar h. ~~·e 'I b ry chapter est in its

must be guarded zealou ly. Let resolve that thi year will be the

scholastic record. Study and the ac-

quirement of knowledge gives Pi Kappa Phi, and all fraternities, the reason for their existence, for if young men did not go to coll ege, there would be no excuse for their establishment. Pi Kappa Phi was organized to erve th se young men away from home but let us not lose . ight of the real reason for their being away from home. L'pon the shoulder. of the officers of the undergraduate chapter falls the re ponsibility of the chapters' records of classroom achieve­ment and scholarship mu t be kept paramount in the minds of the undergraduate brothers. l'i Kappa Phi, at the various institutions where it is repre ented, has maintained enviable records but the best is yet to be attained . 11 I ake thi s year outstanding for our scholarship.

Looking Toward Chicago

W ITHI just a few hort months, the Thirteenth Supreme Chapter of the Fra­

ternity will be convened at Chicago, where wi ll gather repre entatives from Pi Kappa Phi's undergraduate and alumni chapter in all ec­tions of the country. This is the biennial foun ­tain head of the fraternity's enthusiasm, which caught up and concentrated in one place, hows the fraternity as it is in four corners of the earth.

At the Charlotte, Berkeley, and Atlanta­Supreme Chapter every single undergraduate chapter of the Fraternity wa repr sented and this is no time to break the chain. Every chap-

THE STAR AND LAMP of Pt KAPPA PHI

ter should now be preparing to send its official delegate to Chicago. L:nder our arrangement of fin anci ng, which is just and fair to all, each chap­ter bears the same amount of the expenses of all the delegates. Each chapter should be setting aside a sum to meet the expenses of its dele­gate. By thi s plan , it will not be hard for any one group.

The editor can not urge too strongly upon the chapter officers the importance of giving thought and action to this question . A n assessment, lev ied each month upon each member , is not a bad arrangement, and di vides the total so that it is not burdensome upon any man.

Our New Treasurer

B RO'I' I-ll~ R J. CHESTER REEVES, t\ lpha, has been appointed by the Supreme CounciJ

to fill out the unexpired term of our lamented brother, Willi am Fogarty.

The editor bespeaks the fullest cooperation of the fraternity with Brother Reeves, who has a difficult post at best. His is no easy task and without the helping hand of those in the under­graduate chapters, with whom most of his work li es, the job will be all the harder.

11rother Reeves is a man thoroughly imbued with the glorious spirit of Pi Kappa Phi and is every inch a P i Kapp. His election to the Supreme Council of the Fraternity, for which he has labored for years, is an honor well bestowed and ri chly . deserved.

Four New Homes

F 0 · R chapters begin the 1924-25 school year with new homes of their own: Tu at the

University of Nebraska . Omicron at the U niver­sity of Alabama, Psi at Cornell U niversity, and Alpha-Beta at Tulane U niver ity.

These chapters are to be congratulated and the editor extends best wishes for a larger and more useful life beneath their own roofs.

Thi s is a record the Fraternity might well be proud of, for it indicates greater stability and permanence. Nothing stamps a man as a worth­while citizen as the ownership of hi s own home. lt is no less true for a Fraternity chapter.

Railways: Chicago i the largest railroad center in the world. Thirty-nine railroads, in­cluding twenty-three trunk lines, terminate in Chicago. Forty per cent of the railway mileage of the nited States radiates from this city. It is the final de tination of every· train that enters its boundaries, no road running through Chica­go. In every twenty-four hours, 1,. 339 passen­ger trains arrive and depart from the Chicago stations, carrying 200,000 passengers.

Cli111ate: Chicago's weather is an invaluable asset. Lake Michigan moderates the effect of heat and cold wave , and the breeze from the lake are rich in ozone: th ir effect i bracing and timulating to body and mind. It will, how­ever. be well to bring you r flannels and a heavy overcoat, 'cau e we never know when it's apt to get windy or tart to rain.

Pa.rks and Bouleva.rds: Leaving the hotel we go acros the loop and land on M ichigan Boule­vard. It may be pos ible to reach Michigan Boulevard via the new \r\Tacker Drive along the river by the time we are ready. This drive is now under con truction at the cost of millions .of dollars. It was nece ary to demoli h the old South \Vater Street if arket in order to make way for " acker Drive. Here' hoping that it is fini heel o we may enjoy it.

After leaving the hotel or \Vacker Drive. the fir t point of interest i the new "Boulevard Link Bridge." which spans the Chicago river and wa opened to the public in May, 1920. With the completion of the Link bridge and its one hundred and thirty-five foot wide approach, the chain of boulevard from Jackson Park on the

At the right as one is about to enter the famous Midway stands the Fountain of Time, sculptured by Lorado Taft and showing the pas­sage of humanity in its journey from mystery into mystery before the si.lent shrouded reviewer, Father Time. A little further clown to the left will be seen the beautiful buildings of the Uni­versity of Chicago.

Jackson Park, scene of the \Vorlcl's Fair, is reached next. The ruins of the German building, the Fine Arts building, and the Japanese struc­ture on the wooded island are about all that remain. The way north leads through Hyde Park, down Drexel Boulevard and then over to South Parkway and finally over the Illinois Central tracks and down the outer drive. This outer drive is built on entirely newly made land and has been accomplished at the expense of many millions of dollars. Eventually it will con­sist of a beautiful park along the shores of Lake Michigan. Along its path located to the left stands the stadium which at present is only half

Side Lights on the ehicago Supremv ehapter

By ELMER N. TuRNQUIS1'

DID I hear some one say that "thirteen"

is an unlucky number? If you think so, you'l l know you are

unluckier sti ll , when the boys come back and tell you about the "Thirteenth Supreme Chapter," which they all attended in Chicago, December 28, 29, 30.

'Cause this is going to be the greatest epoch­making convention known in the annals of Pi Kappa P hi . No stones are to be left unturned, which might add to the comfort of visiting brothers. Oh, no, don't worry, you won't gather any moss on your feet from standing around in hotel lobbies, or street corners- not on your tin type.

Square and Compass at Lexington A t its last general convention in New Orleans

in December, 1924, Square and Compass voted to establish its national office at Lexington, Vir­ginia, where it was founded in 19 17. This or­ganization is an inte rcolleg iate fraternity of Master .Masons that has been estab li shed at fifty colleges and unive rsiti es throughout the United States. As the charters of thr e squares have been revoked, the Fraternity now has 47 square with a membership of approximately 3,200. Faculty members as well as students arc eligible to apply for membership, the Fraternity using the Masonic system of application for membership rather than the college system of ''bidding" or invitation to join. Tts official pub­lication is The College Mason, now in its sixth yea r. Tn college circles, Square and Compass is characterized as a professional fraternity. membership being open to members of th e gen­eral Greek-letter societies.

W \S it Shakespeare who a id , "the best is a lways sa,;ed for the last," or was it Cha rles Darwin? It sounds ve ry

much like a theory of evolu tion, but it is going to be demonstrated at the Chicago Supreme Chapter. Our worthy brothers who formed the tradition of end ing a convention with a banqu et understood what they were about, and the tradi­tion is not going to suffer on the evening .of December 30, 1925.

Now, if the on ly thing we had to offer was the selection of after dinner speakers it would be a great evening. T o li sten to the men who visua­lized a g reat fraternity and made that vision a reality at any place or at any time would be a treat; but to sit in the Tiger room of the Hotel Sherman, a gem of a rchitectural beauty, and feast of the best the J-:T otel's renowned chefs prepare, and then sit back in your lux urious armchair and listen to the sto ri es of the past and dreams of the future- ah, that is an occasion to be rem em be red.

A ide from the obvious function of gove rn­ment the convention affords the means fo r de­ve loping a conception of unity throughout the fraterni ty. A P i Kapp from F lorida receives the g rip from a P i K app from \iVashington and goes home to teU his brothers that the chapter they have heard about is a rea lity, and wha t is more, that it is made up of real Pi Kapps. Alpha through one of its brothers enj oys the f Jlowship

of di stant Gamma and each is mor closely bound to the other .

Speaking sti11 of the national organi zation we may say that the conventi on is the social fun c­ti on of the whole body; it is to the na tional body what th e annu al prom is to the local chapter . No one will deny the g reat part our social life plays in the activities of the local chapter, and the convention rightfull y g ives the same bene­f its to the national organization.

Benefits to Local Chapters

The convention floor is the open market for the exchange of ideas. Each delegate should come with a stock from hi s local chapter and return loaded with good suggestions obtained from his brother delegates. Iota Chapter has developed a scheme for financing the building of a chapter house which is presented to the con­vention and its delegate obtains some helpful hints for more effective chapter di scipline. In like manner a delegate may bring the problems with which the chapter has found difficulty and learn from a brother how such has been avoided by a different arrangement.

No brother who has taken an active part in the affairs of hi s chapter fails to appreciate the importance of real enthusiasm on the part of every member and pledge. It is the quality which determines whether a local chapter leads or brings up the rear. The successful conven­tion is a fountain of enthusiasm at which each delegate may drink hi s fill and return to encour­age hi s brothers to do g reater things for hi s fraternity.

]" u rther the local chapter may have a g riev­ance. The convention furnishes an opportune time to have it redressed. The local chapter may wish as a body to perform some brotherly act to another chapter much as one brother would as­sist another in his own chapter . The convention g ives the opportunity with sympathetic brothers to help. Thus, the convention is the assembly of the chapte rs as the chapter hall is the meet­ing place of the brothers.

Benefits to Individual Brother

W hether he attend the convention o r not, each Pi Kapp is going to be benefited by being a member of a better national organization and a better local chapter . J-{e wi.ll also indirectly, through the brother who attends, in a way participate in the many advantages found there. But to the Pi Kapp who is present fall s the lion 's share of the good things which a convention brings to the individual.

He cannot be present without becoming a better P i Kapp. I-:le cannot meet and tall( and work with men who a re g iving freely of their time and energy to the fraternity, ofttimes at no

small sacrifice, without placing a higher eva!ua·

tion on his membership in the organization. rr.e cannot take part in the transacting of the bt1~1 : ness of the fraternity and assist in making .1t' laws and regulation s without becoming more 1n­terested in what that business consists of and thC

Problems to which those laws relate. He tht1> 't, becomes a more valuable man to the fraterl11 ) and a more capable man in other walks of life.

In addition the particular individua l who ~~­tends, whether a delegate or not, enjoys benefit~ of a social nature, which need not be elaboratec

,en! upon here except for a word of encouragen . ]115

to the brother who has not fully made up . mind to attend the Chicago Convention. A visll to the second largest city in the tates and 011.c which is but a few hundred from the third } ~II' gest in the world, is in itself a rare treat even though a great frat~r.nity were not making eve.:): e ffort to see that v1s1t an unequaled opportL1 111.) to view the city's wonders and taste of 11: amu sements. The fact that a great hotel h~: thrown open its doors and pleclg cl its best e forts to in sure a royaJ entertainment is not 10

O ur ideal is to make learning possilJle to ali, a blessing to all. It has been the custom in Scotland when a boy, who gave promise of aptness in Latin and Greek, was found by the "Old Schoolmaster," a ll members of the family worked and sacri ficed in order that he might have a chance to receive coll ege t ra in­ing and make hi s mark in the world. T he prin ­cipal of one of the colleges in the university asked me one evening if our system of afford­ing every boy and girl opportuni ty to secure coll ege t ra ining did not lower the standard of cholarship.

a tendency to lower the standard of scholarship in the technical sense of the term but it widened the scope of the blessing of learning. Is not education for the common good rather than the special benefaction of a few?

The buiJdings of Edinburgh U ni versity are in various parts of the city. Some of them are very old, others are modern. The picture below is a snap of the "Old Quad," as it is affec­tionately called. This is the oldest part of the schoo.l. It is built around a block, the interior forming a court. One misses the spacious bui ld­ings and the beautiful campuses so much a factor in American university life.

THE OLD QUAD

For many centuries Scottish scholarship has been accorded a high place in the ranks of learn­ing. One only has to read the list of professors to discover many famous names. The present faculty includes a number of eminent men. An atmosphere of scholarsh ip surrounds the U ni­versity. T he professors always wear academic gowns when in the class room. The faculty members are chosen largely from the alumni as­sociation. One notices very few of them have

'l'he University of Edinburgh has no 01;ganized athletic activities, no specia l physical director, no football coaches. This does not mean the Uni­versity is without sports. The students are en­thusiastic sport supporters. A t the Rugby and football games there is no cheering, as ide from individual yelling. One who is in the habit of attending American fo tball games and basket­ball games and giving vent to one's lungs will feel depressed at the glances of reproach from the eyes of nearby spectators if one unexpectedly lets out a screaming yell , because they do not participate in noisy outbursts at regu lar inter­vals. The University Rugby teams have no or­ganized support from the students. During the winter international football games attract more attention than collegiate sports. Golf is the most popular game in warm weather. Bowling on the green has its followers. Most a ll of the pre­paratory schools play lacrosse and R ugby.

A student spending a yea r in a foreign Uni­versity is the recipient of certain benefit . Travel, as · a factor in education, should not be light­ly valued. It enl a rges one's sympathi es, cul­tivates intellectual, nationali ti c and racial toler­ation and, broadens one's outlook in life. A second benefit is that of becoming acquainted with new books, new magazines and new currents of thought. One makes new mental friend§. One clay I went to the A merican History Department of New College Library to find some informa­tion on the subj ect of the American Indian. Strange as it may seem I had to cut most of the pages of the books I read. The niversity

===========================================================~ THE STAR AN D LAM P of Pr KAPPA Pr-rr ~

In all di scussion upon expansion, we must bear in mind that higher education in A merica has not as yet reached its ultimate form of or­ganization, that there a re signs of coming rad­ical changes. \ iV itness the junior college move­ment, the lower and upper divisions of the un­dergraduate liberal arts and science coll eges, Johns Hopkins' new program. It is becoming increasingly evident that many of the small col­leges will be forced to junior college rank, and that the arts and science colleges of the g reat uni versities wi ll admit only those students who have completed the junior college course. ]t

is possible that in time we shall have junior fraternities, as we now have junior sororities, and that some of the present fraterniti es will become "junior" while others will turn over cer ­tain of their chapters to the junior organization:-;.

In this connection it is interesting and infor­mative to scrutini ze the enrollment and endow­ments of the 27 P i Kapp colleges and univer­Sities. '"' e find that 13 are state institution s, therefore, while they may not be flush with fund s, cf assured existence, 7 of the priva-.~ colleges each have more than a million dollars endow­ment ; and 7 less than a million each ; 16 have more than 1,000 studen ts, 11 Jess than a thou­sand; 7 have less than 500 students. O f the 11 , which have less than 1,000 students. 7 pos­sess small endowments. There is a possibility that some clay these chapters may become inac­ti ve.

A rti cle VI, Section 1, of our Constitution reads:

"Undergradu ate chapters shall be established only at colleges and uni versities of high standards and well · es tablished reputations which have no laws prohibiting secret f raternities ."

In the Supreme Laws I fail to find any inter­pretation of this. There should be a definite standard decided upon by the Supreme Chap­ter. O ur last eight chapters have been estab­li shed in outstanding institutions, all of which­with one excepti on-?ossess over $ 1,000,000 en­dowment or its equival ent, have enrollments ex­ceeding l ,QOO students, and are on the approved list of the Associa tion of A merican Uni ve rsities . I suggest that we embody in our Supreme Laws:

"Und crgratuate chapters shall be establi shed only at collegeo, and uni versities which are on the approved

. . . which li st of the Associat ion of American U nJversJtJes, .1 · tent 11 possess endow ments of $1,000,000 or its eqluva 11 . ! . I o liJ11 CI tax rece1pts, and have a ful -tim e stuc ent enr of not less than 1,000." is

O f the coll eges recently entered, 1VI ercer_f. h J•

the only one which does not meet these qua 1 . t muc I cations. H er enrollment, however, IS no

Tr-rE STAR AND LAMP of Pr KAPPA Pnr

Tn the seven "occupied" states li sted above, there are 1 -~ "unoccupied" institutions which qua ]ify. Jn the 24 "unoccupied" states, there are 44 institution s. A total of 58, which is surety a large enough field for expansion for so 111 e time to come. Some of the coll eges are at Present well occupied, but many of them anct especially the state universities are in dire need of more chapters.

If Pi Kappa Phi confines her chapters to these institution s, and to such as from time to time wi ll qua lify, she wi ll be assured of a strong and permanent chapter ro ll , and wi ll have automatica ll y set a firm check upon her

expansion. Having a firm foundation , let us build th ereon a temp le worthy of our ideal s.

Sewell, c?tlabama' s Greatest c?tthletv

BR OTHER J OE SEWELL, Omicron, last spring was elected through popular 'vote as th e g reatest li ving athlete of A labama,

and by hi s selection earn ed a place in A labama's l..,ivi ng fl ail of Fame.

A special di spatch from the nive rsity of Alabama, lo the Bi·rmingham Agc-He·rald, had Lhe following to say ap ropos of Brother Sewell 's selection:

" '!'he university is plea eel w ith th announce­ment that Joe Sewell , one of the state institu ­tion' s noted athletes, has been elected to A la­bama's living hall of fame as the state' greatest liv ing athlete.

"The sto ry of Sewell 's rise from shortstop on a co llege team to shortstop on the world 's champ­ions of 1920 has been told and retoJd so often that every sandlot youngster feels he is in igno­rance if he does not know it.

"Sewell , captain of the labama Crimsons in 1920, left along about mid-season of the South­ern league and joined the New O rleans Pelicans. l--Ie made good from the start. While not the best fielder in the league, he hit ha rd and timely. He had played shortstop for the Crimsons for three years and was considered the peer of a ll D ix ie shortstops.

THE S'rAR AND LAMP of Pr KAPPA Pr-rr

cAnother George 8 'y L1·:o II. Pou, o, '21

P R ESENT at the install ation of A lpha­Eta Chapter at Howard College last spring were three Pi Kapps, all of

whom hold national offices in the Fraternity, and all of whom are named George. They were affectionately referred to and photo-0Taphed as "The Three Georges," and their picture was published under that caption in

the last issue of 1'IIE S'l'AR AND LAMP. More­over, our Supreme Archon is a ·George, several chapter officials are Georges, and it would ap­pear that our Fraternity is almost entirely run by "George."

Thi s story is about another George. He holds no office in the Fraternity, yet probably does as much serious thinking for the good of the order as any of those who d0. He is prevented by his

residence on the other side of the globe fro1~1

knowing and associatitig with his brothers bacK in the States, yet he is known to most of the!11 as a frequent contributor to TnE STAR p!D

LAM r. He li ves in Calcutta , India, apparent~Y · S Ill too far removed to keep up with happe11111g .

the Greek letter world, but a single issue of 0.u1

magazine (December, 1924), contained more In­teresting statistics on fraternities in general, compi led and cia ri fied by this good brother, th~n

. . I. Ill c::tn be had even in the books which spec1a 1ze furnishing such in formation.

, \Jien 1 refer, of course, to llrother George 1

Odgers, student, teacher, preacher, missionary, . n·

author, traveler, husband, father, fraternity ma · one of the most interesting personalities I ha\'~

. discovered among my brothers of Pi Kappa Phi, I. h

as well as one whose character and acco!11P IS -

ments merit mention as one of our most dis­tinguished members.

B · . '' ad-orn 111 September, 1893, 111 a Nebraska s dy," George lived on a cattle ranch until nearlY seven, then moved with the family to \Vashing­ton State because of his mother's ill health. }le graduated from the Davenport, \Vashington, high school in 1910, taught a rural school th.e following winter, and entered \Villiamette l]nl-

•·for versity at Salem, Oregon, in 1912. There . two years," he says, he "majored in college ]t~e and minored in studies, never participated. 111

athletics, but mixed up in oratoricaJs, dramatics, journalism and politics," and among other canl­pus honors won by him, he was a member of a local fraternity. He "also got entangled i~ a chicken-stealing escapade, many apple ra~ds, bully-bulletining of the campus, numeral paint­ing and freshman kidnapping, including a chase by the university president."

His mother's death in the summer of 191.4

• ]1JS seems to have caused an entire change 1n plans and purposes, and he returned to his na­tive Nebraska that fall and entered the state university, from which he was graduated tWO

years later with a B. A. degree. At Nebraska

he refu sed two bids to we ll established frater­ni ties and joined the U nion Club, which after­Ward became Nu Chapter of P i Kappa P hi , with

Odgers as a sort of elder brother and pilot. Since the days at W illiamette he had been

thinking of the "miss ionary proposition," which \Vas first presented to him by hi s Greek pro­fesso r, and he continued to consider it along

1 With hi s conflicting des ires both to be a coll ege Professor and to enter the mini stry. During Christmas week of hi s senior year at Nebraska he and hi s closest fri ends gave furth er thought to the fi eld of foreign service, as a resul t of Which he signed the Student Volunteer's declar­ation. Soon after graduation the foll owing sum­'ller, he sa iled from San F rancisco, bound for p . \angoon, nurma, there to take the appomtment

a.s headmaster of the Metho li st Boys' H igh School ; from which he was promoted in 19 18 to be 1)rinci1.)al of the Normal School and the ]i' .

lora Blackstone Boys' School at Muttra, and ~ ~ so Superintendent of the \ i\Tm. E . Blackstone 1 raining School and of the M ilton Stewart Hoarding Schoo.l at the same place. The fol­lowing yea r he was elected P rincipal of the Calcutta Doys' School, at Calcutta, India, which ! ~os iti on he still holds and expects to reta in un­lil hi s nex t furl ough, which begins in the spring of 1931. All of the institutions named are fos­lerec] by the Methodi st Church, of which Brother Odgers is a faith ful member. The Calcutta ;:oys' School was founded in 1877 by Bishop 1. hoburn , one of th e greatest missionaries of all lin1es, was endowed by Sir R obert L aidl aw, has at present a plant worth over half a million dol­lars, a student enrollment of over two hundred. drawn chieAi y from the sons of the E uropean ~0n11nunity resident in Calcutta, and has a teach­~ng staff of fifteen. George w rites of hi s job 'n a humorous vein, the following being quoted from one of his recent letters to th e writer :

"In addition to Briti sh and A merican and Anglo-Indian (mixed bl ood ) boys, we have In­dian Christi ans, H indu, Mohammedan, J ewish, f\rmenian, Chinese and Burmese boys. f-Ie re in my little L eague of Nations and Races, T reign supreme. I am not only the pedagogical head, but I am also father, brother, f ri end, father-confessor, doctor, lawyer, merchant, po-

]iceman, confidentia l adv iser, chief janito r, etc. I have to li sten to everyone's woes, have people weep on my shoulder, despairing J ews hang on to my knees, and others grasp the hem of my trousers. I am supposed to be able to make the sun stand still , and to turn brass into gold, as well as make sa in ts out of li ttle dev ils."

In T hoburn Church, Calcutta, on April 25, 19 19, Brother Odgers was married to a sweet­heart of his Nebraska schooldays. T hey had become engaged while classmates at Nebraska, and she proved herself t rue by journeying half way round the earth to become hi s companion and helper in th e noble work in which he was engaged. T hey have one child , Charlotte F-fcn­ri etta, now four years old .

\\ 'e lea rn from the prospectus of the Calcutta School th at it is in sess ion a.l l the yea r round , except for three short intervals, the longest of whi ch, th e summer recess, commenced this yea r on :May 8 and lenninated on June 20. Thi s period is th e only rea l vacation Brother Odgers and his family have during the year, and they usually spend it at Da rj ee ling, a reso t·t place fa r up the llimalayas from to rrid Calcutta. The following account of the trip to the vaca tion site last :May is taken f rom one of hi s letters:

"You will probably be interested in Darj ec l­ing. It is about 19 hours from Calcutta. You entrain at Sealdah s tation, and ride all night. At 5:00 the nex t morning you hurriedly j ump in to some clothes, make yourself look half-way sane, and roll -up your bedding, lock your small t runk, and count your 321 pieces of luggage ( the compartment is always jammed with such like). T he t rain pull s into Parbati pur, and you grab several coolies, and hurry your things ac ross the pl atform to your rese rved compa rt­ment in the meter-guage tra in. A fter seeing that they are a ll there, you leave a coolie in charge and scamper for the refreshment room, find a seat or seats, and enj oy your tea and toast. A clang of railway iron, and everyone makes a rush for his or her compartment. Four hours across level rice and jute fi elds, dotted with clumps of feathery bamboo or mango groves, and the trains stops at S iligurgi. Out again, and more grabbing of coolies, and getting

Q N ·wednesday night, July 15, the Bir ming­~ ham alumni with the hearty support of the b 1Pha-Eta men of Howa rd College, two loyal Brothers from R ho Chap ter , one from A lpha­. eta, and two from O micron, gave a most en­Joyable dance.

l·'I'he brothers enj oyed the pri vate use of the ·/:ger Longer Lodge from 6:00 to 12 :00 P. M. f hi s Lodge is a p rivate club over the m oun ta in rom Birmingham and is loca ted on the crest

~f Shades Mounta in which overlooks the vall ey

1 or miles, and a ffords scenery that can't even

le matched by the scenic v iews of the mountains Of North Caro.lina.

You can picture a g roup of 25 Pi K apps repre­Senting fi ve chapters, with their ladies ga th ered together in a cozy lodge way up on the moun tain 10P with the wind whi stling through the pines as they danced to the splendid music of a five­Piece orchestra.

only a motor cop can force on anyone. r..:Iow­ever, he dese rves a grea t deal of credit for any­one who w ill travel 50 miles th rough the coun­try and then have to put up with the sad story of an unpleasant m:otor cop, to show hi s loyalty to the fraternity, you can readily say that he is a true P i Kapp.

At the beginning of the school, Tota was hit hard by eight of our last year men not returning in add ition to the ones that are absent now clue to their graduation last June.

Iota's 1 henomenal success with "prosp cts" was clue to a systematic program and especially

A s the schola tic year, 1925-26, merge in to a reali ty, O micron chapter faces the world

with hopes, prospects and ambi tions perhap un ­surpassed in the hi story of the chapter . Many new faces a re welcomed to the brotherhood and too, some of the old "stand-bys" have departed to weigh th emselves in the scales of this intri ­ca te and mysterious thing call ed life.

The election of the following office rs took place Jast spring: J ames B. S tapleton, A rchon ; Norman S. Morgan, Secretary; Clarence \Vil ­liams, Treasurer ; A. P. M ize, Jr., H istorian;

The most prominent achievement of Omicron at this time is the construction and occupation of a new chapter house. Suffice to say that this house rests on the apex of a long, bitter struggle, in which every loyal 1 i .Kapp at Omicron for the past eight years has joined, working faith­full y towards one def inite encl . Now that it is completed. we have ample reason to be proud of it.

Omicron has assumed leadership on the U ni­versity of A labama campus in relation to the proposition of house mothers, or matrons. M rs. Scarborough, of Tuscaloosa, has consented to serve in this capacity and will occupy a suite of rooms in the house permanently.

Brother Hulitt ·whitaker, one of the main­stays of the Crimson Tide of Jast yea r, graduated in the spring. Brothers Dreher and Perkins have entered the real estate business in Bir­mingham. Brother Roy Skipper is at present in Ozark, but hopes to return at mid-term. Brother Shelley S. Sansbury, one of the most active Pi Kapps that Omicron has ever known, is com­mandant of a mili tary academy in Georgia.

Brothers l-Toward Trawick and J rvin Glau­sier, f E ta chapter, E mory, have transferred their memberships to Omicron. Brother Julian l inkston, Omicron and Eta, who has been in the employ of the Central of Georgia railway for a yea r, has returned to complete hi s work for a degree at mid-tern1 .

Brother "Red" Joyce, who last yea r received the appointment to junior manager of the foot­ball team, has this week been named as Major of the third battalion in R. 0. T. C. corps. Brother Bob Young also has been promoted to the rank of first lieutenant. Bob made his let­ter on the varsity basketball team last season and is ready to take his place in line again . Brothers Bill Young, Bob Parks and Red Hamilton rep­resent Omicron in the Million Dollar Band.

Psi Acquires Home By E DWARD J. ELLJO'l'T

THE year 1925 will undoubtedly go down in the history of Psi Chapter as one in which

lhe most seemingly impossible things were at­telllped, and successfull y achieved. It will prob­ably remain the greatest year in our history, for, alllong other things, we have reali zed our two fondest hopes-owning our house and maintain-

ing a dining- room. A year ago both of these were considered imposs ibl e, but through the ef­fo r t. of the P i Kappa P hi Club of lew York, and the enthusiastic cooperation of al l the active members, both were accompli shed.

O ur new house is an impo ing structure on a hill overlooking beautiful Lake Cayuga. I t is admirably adapted for a f raterni ty house, having la rge, well-lighted study-rooms, a spacious li ving room affording ample space for our dances, and above all , what a co-ed would call a darling li ttl e f ire-place, so nece sa ry to the uccess of our bul L sessions on the cold win ter night fo r which Ithaca is famous. vVe also have extensive grounds a round the house.

We are a ll proud of our new home, and deeply grateful to all our alumni who have made its purchase possible. The leading spirits in the campaign were: Brothers Lauter, DeAndrea, and ] allou, ably supported by the other mem­bers of the P i Kappa P hi Club of New York. B rother K. C. Lauter, our chapter inspector , was the director of the campaign to raise funds. Notwithstanding Casey's well -known modesty, we are going to take this oppor tunity to record in Ti n: STAR ; \ ND LAMP our great appreciation of hi s loyal and persistent work, not only in making the purchase of our house possible, but in making Psi Chapter one of the best a ll -roun d fraternities at Cornell.

The ru shing season has been on now fo r a week, and never before has there been such en­thusiastic cooperation of the brothers. Every­one returned a week before school opened in order to start rushing with a bang. W ith sixty­fi ve fraterniti es all out after men we have to use in tensive methods to get the kind of men we want. At thi s writing we have seven men pledged, and school is just opening. T his is un­precedented, for never before have we been abl e to sta rt rushing so early. T he fo llowing men have been pledged: Tom L inster, '28; Geraci Pesez, '28; Carl Drandt, '29; Guy Youngman, '29; Kenneth Perkins, '29; J ohn O'Kain, '29; T:: ill hlson, '29.

O n Saturday, October 10, the lay of the W il ­liams-Cornell football game, we gave a fo rmal dance celebrating the opening of our new home.

Needless to say P i Kappa P hi is keeping pace with the rapid expansion of P urdue. \1\f hile we a re sti ll comparatively young on the campus we have again moved ' into larger quarters, located at 40 North Sali sbury Street, just west of the Beta Theta P i's and the Kappa A lpha Theta's on Littleton street and just across the street from Zeta Tau A lpha's. · The house is not only larger than the old chapter house but it is also splen­didly furnished, having been compl etely reno­vated during the past summer under the able supervision of House Manager . A. K inzer. N ineteen old men returned to school this year and we already have some good prospective P i Kapps. They are: H. K. ::\II. eye r, Crown ·Point, Incl., '29; D. J.

Alpha-Theta Starts Well By I l AR RY F. SMl 'l' ri

A L 'l'HOUGFI th e end of only our f irst term on the campus as a chapter of P i Kappa

Phi is past we have already begun to feel the added importance and responsibilities. T he in­terval between las t May 9 and the clo e of that term saw several innovations and changes of which we are extremely proud .

Th e scholastic marks and ave rages have not as yet been all compiled so we have been unable to asce rta in our ranking among the fraterniti es bu t we fee l assured of a prominent pos iti on.

Last term saw the graduation and departure of eight of our men as follows: George Q uigley, a rchon ; Manl ey Brooks, \i\f illiam Baker, Louis Dordeaux, R ussel Clewly, Russel Gaul t, Cla rk Sinclair, and J ame Stevens. It is to the guid­

ance and wise counsel of these men that we owe much of our present posit ion.

Just prior to the close of the spring term elec­t ion of offi ce rs was held with the following results: A rchon, O rson Bird; Treasurer, F rank­lin Creager ; Secreta ry, H arry Smith ; H istorian, Thoma J ermin ; Chaplain , F rancis Beeman ; \\'a rden, \ iValdo P roctor .

The evening of Jun e 19 marked the extremely successful fina le fo r an extremely successful yea r. Deginning with the lea t important thing f irs t, it marked the close of the college year ; and second, it was the evening of our first party as the Alpha-Theta Chapter of P i Kappa P hi . A b~ n q u et fo ll owed by dancing was held at the Meadowlark Inn near J ackson. T he J ackson De 1[ olay O rchestra furnished the music.

'.l'a lking a bout pin plantings, we had two dur­ing the last week of spring te rm w hen we had the opportuni ty of ex tending our congratulations to ::Hanley Brooks and "Bud" W helan. Since then it has developed that Clark Sincla ir gave us the sli p and is now happily married and liv ing in Det roit.

rtBJY the characteristics of the

~ human face one's qualities

are often judged-and so it

is with type faces. Being guided by

this principle we always try to use

only the type faces which are char·

acteristic of the thing to be adver·

tised. Good faces, either human or

type, always create a favorable im ·

pression.
