Letters from Our Readers ESTABUSHES RESIDENCE IN RHODE ISLAND

191 Kno/lwood Ave. East G1·eenwich, R. I.

Dear Miss Smith: I always enjoy reading The Star and Lamp. I came to Rhode Island with the Navy, and we decided to

make this our home after my tour ended in December, 1956. I transferred my civil service job from the Charleston Navy

Shipyard to the Naval Air Station, Quonset Point, R. I. '1

built a split level home in East Greenwich, a lovely 1 1~ suburban town, 16 miles from Providence.

The family consists of Mrs. Walton (nee Genevieve A. SC ensen) and one son, John R., III. John is sy2 years old.

If any Pi Kapps reside in Rhode Island or near by New Eo. land, I would like to meet them or hear from them.

Sincerely, JOHN R. WALTON, JR., Alpha •: College of Charleston

(Continued on page 3)

Out of the Past (Material for this column was obtained from the February, 1917, issue of The Star and Lamp.)

40 Years Ago

Brother Eugene H . Sanders, Eta, Emory Uni­versity, reports that "Eta Chapter is going to fol­low her brave brothers into the trenches with The Star and La-mp as much as it is possible to do so." He recommends that other chapters do likewise.

Eta Chapter has purchased three bonds in the second Liberty Loan and taken three others which the chapter is asking her alumni to pay for. These bonds are earmarked as the nucleus for the Eta building fund.

Nu Chapter has purchased $600 worth of Lib­erty Bonds.

In an editorial entitled "An Apologetic Semi­Farewell," Brother Wade S. Bolt, editor-in-chief of The Star and Lamp, announces that he is leav­ing the editorship temporarily for service in the Navy. He is a first-class musician with the Great Lakes Naval Band, Great Lakes, Ill. He announces that Brother George W. Brunson of Zeta will serve as editor during his absence.

"A regiment of home guards has been organized in South Carolina and 'John D.' (Carroll?} is now first lieutenant of the Spartanburg company,

having received his commission from the Gov­ernor."

"Bro. R. G. Nimocks, Iota, won a lieutenancy at Fort McPherson, resigned it to enter the Avia­~on Corps, where he expects to receive a commis­swn, and to cap the climax got married."

"Bro. Bobo Burnett, Zeta, who held the office of E. S. [Eminent Supreme] Historian, Bro. Hamp White, Sigma, and Bro. Guy Maxwell, Sigma, members of Co. B, 1st South Carolina Engineers, are 'Somewhere irl France.' "

"Bro. J. Chester Reeves, Alpha, has volunteered in a hospital unit and is expecting to be called at any time. Brother Reeves is an enthusiastic booster of The Star and Lamp, and we are looking for· ward to some more literary gems from him in the next issue."

"Bros. J. L. Metcalf and J. Lawton Ellis, Jr., our E. S. T . [Eminent Supreme Thesaurophulax}, are both with the General Electric Company in Fort W'ayne, Ind.''

"Bro. Roy J. Heffner, Gamma, is in the Aviation Corps in California. Brother Heffner enlisted some time ago, and has now been appointed as instructor to the new men. After the success with which he fulfilled the duties of deputy E. S. A. [Eminent Supreme Archon], we feel confident in predicting great things for him in the future."

~~once Upon A Line" EVERY ISSUE of The Star and Lamp carries the names b of brothers who have joined the 01apter Eternal n ~yond the skies. Each death is a deep loss to the Frater­h~%~nd, especially, to his family and close friends. What fa . le act1on we can take, such as sending a card to the is mtly and publishing an article in The Star and Lamp, v!te~h~ps short of expressing our feeling and sympathy.

' tt IS often difficult to do more.

m Just. as we prepare to "close out" another issue of the w ag~Zine and send it to the printer, we have received E~r that Brother Gene Dunaway passed to the Chapter

rna] unexpectedly July 4.

co~r?the~ Dunaway was indeed a loyal Pi Kapp, and his is f f1buttOns to this Fraternity were so numerous that it th e t ~hat a more capable pen than this one should write Su~ arttcJe ~oncerning Brother Dunaway's contributions. Ch 1 an arttcle, as promised in the columns of "In Our ma apt~r Eternal," will appear in the next issue of the

gaz1ne.

bu~ack in January of this year, Gene retired from active the I ness (and we do mean ACTIVE business), and soon go;Jafter the National Office received a letter from the and brother, stating that he had retired from his job Phi ~a~ now ready to go to work for "Ole" Pi Kappa Was· his st~tement is misleading since we doubt if there Phi e;hr a t1me when he wasn't working for his Pi Kappa ated e .Loan Fund of the Fraternity was not only ere­With by his drive and interest, but its funds were started the a ~ery generous offer of his own substance. Also, (wh~~rtt Award of the Fraternity for outstanding service des. IC. he won later) was his idea, and the cost of the Wri~~;tng, :asting, and purchasing of the pins was under-

n ent1rely by him.

Se~~ Fr~ternity brothers saw fit to elect him National also f~ry tn .1950; and along with these heavy duties he al i th lind .ttme to write personal letters to each chapter­for h ese thtngs by the Dunaway "hunt and peck" method

e had no secretary or typist.

The last k · · · M:ichi w~e m May saw the executtve secretary 1~ Kap gan to mstall a new mapter into the fold of P1 overpa Phi . As one would expect, Gene Dunaway drove the b~very d~y to make sure ti)ings were going along in

st trad1tional manner.

n~i . stallar ssue of the magazine carries a story of that m-\Vay "M ~n~. the climactic banquet whid1 Brother Duna­eighth C d.

Phi. Of sud1 stuff was Gene Dunaway made, and upon such men was this Fraternity built.

We came across something very interesting while in the line of duty the other day. In order really to encour­age you readers to recommend good college bound boys to us for rushing, it was decided to pay the postage on the recommendation form to be included in this issue. It then became necessary to visit the local Post Office to receive a permit to do this thing we desired . While we waited in a certain office to fill out the required form, a gentleman in the office was writing on some paper with a ball point pen. As he wrote, he came upon one of those inevitable spots where the pen wouldn't write (as a ball point pen user knows only too well). Let me tell you, the man just picked up an ordinary pencil and used the eraser over the troublesome spot and then returned to writing . It seems as though the eraser makes the surface conducive to the ball point pen.

We have had fun all week showing off this new found convenience. Since ball point pen ink isn't affected by an erasure, one can erase right in the middle of any word where a letter won ' t print with the pen.

If there is no other moral in the above, let us then at least declare that one never knows what is going to be said in an editorial until it is read.

ATTENTION WIVES: Ah ha! so we caught you reading your husband' s magazine. Well, we welcome you and trust you enjoy it. But, tell us, isn't it disappoint­ing that there isn't more about your husband and his chapter classmates! Though his record is certainly one of which to be proud, he always forgets to let us know about himself. So, won't you help by writing us about any award he has won, organization offices he holds, promotions he's achieved, or additions to your family? You see, just as you, we are proud of him and know that our readers wou ld be too.

THE EMORY ALUMNUS devoted many pages of its May issue to story and pictures of the man who will

become president of Emory University September 1. This man is Dr. Sidney Walter Martin, Delta '31, Fur­man University.

At the University of Georgia, Brother Martin is dean of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences and professor of history. He has been on the staff of this university since 1935.

Brother Martin holds the Bachelor of Arts in English from Furman University, the Master of Arts in History from the University of Georgia, and the Doctor of Philosophy in History from the University of North Carolina. As an authority on Southern history, he has published two books, "Florida During the Territorial Days" and "Florida's Flagler," and at least 12 scholarly articles.

The president-elect will succeed Dr. Goodrich Cod tt White who sent a letter last February a year ago I· 1-:r Emory's Board of Trustees, expressing his desire ~ M._a retire no later than September 1 of this year. After co~ . 1

sidering 29 possible successors to Dr. White, the boM· f &I Or unanimously elected Dr. Martin April 18 of this Y I

The news of Brother Martin's election spread quiCk~ ~~i and within three minutes there arrived at his office .~ t

Brother Martin enjoys reading. His preference is for b_iographies. He tries. to read every new book in his spe-: eta! field, Southern htstory, and he attempts either to read or "skim" new history books in all fields. He does a considerable amount of reading in the fields of philoso-i · phy and theology in order to be better prepared to teach his current Sunday School class, which is composed of women. Previously he has taught three different classes at First Methodist: intermediate boys, couples, and uni­Yersity students.

"It probably goes without saying that the president­elect is a teetotaler and that no alcoholic beverages have ever been served in his home.

"Like Father, Like Son" Brother TPilliam TPork, Beta Pi's adviser, wa.r no

stranger to Pi Kappa Phi when he joined the Fraternity's ranks at Eastern Michigan College in May, for he was reared under the shadow, so to speak, of the Pi Kappa Phi insignia. His father, Brother Paul Work, became a Pr Kapp when he was initiated into Psi Chapter in 1922 and assumed the duties of adviser to his chapter. It is interesti11g that father and s011 chose to join Pi Kappa Phi after having been chapter adr:is~rs for independent gro11ps. The circumsta11ces were stmtlar, the dates were 35 years apart.

The following Jette~, dated fun_e 4, was written by Prof. Pa11l TP ork to hu so11, lPrllram:

Dear Bill, I am glad your school is closing later than ours, for

I have been intending to write you on the occasion of the installation of Beta Pi of Pi Kappa Phi.

This event means more to me than it otherwise would since I was initiated into Psi Chapter here at Cornell about 1923, under circumstances similar to yours.

Congratulations .to you and ~ ~m su~e you will find much satisfaction m your assoctatJOn Wtth the members of the Chapter.

Please pass on my congratulations also to the Chapter and my best wishes for a long and fruitful fellowship.

I am convinced that a good fraternity chapter per. forms a real function in providing a "home away from home," and in helping the brothers to build high stand­ards of scholarship and of good living.

Best wishes to you and to all the brothers. As always, your Dad,

The National Rose HISTORIAN John W. Deimler was able to persuade

four brave persons to serve as judges of the candi­dates for National Rose of Pi Kappa Phi. They are Dr. George C. Galphin, Zeta '19, Wofford College, who is director of admissions for Drexel Institute of Technol­ogy, chairman of the committee, and John D. McAvoy, Miss Nancy Thomsen, and T. Edward Townsley. In­cidentally, the chairman is a psychologist. No doubt his training gives him extra know-how to combat the darts that may be thrust at him from quarters where the committee's decisions are viewed with less than complete approval (due to personal prejudices).

With this comment made, we will proceed with the announcement of the winners. The National Rose of Pi Kappa Phi for 1957 is Miss Kay Stewart of Dayton, Ohio, Mu's candidate. Miss Peggy Kerr of Baton Rouge, La., Beta Omicron's candidate, placed second, and Alpha Omega's Miss Birte Jensen, a Danish exchange student at the University of Oregon, and Beta Xi's Miss Carol Bloomer tied for third place.

Miss Stewart is a junior at Duke University and a member of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. Her principal ac­tiviti es at Duke have been with the musical production club, Hoof ' n' Horn. For the past two years she has played major roles in the musicals that this organization

Hall Ranch is Tourist Attraction UTILITARIAN AND SCENIC-this is the way one

might describe, in the fewest possible words, the Ray Hall ranch in the Sand Hills country of Nebraska's Boone County. The owner, Brother Ray E. Hall, is an alumnus of Nu Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at the Univer­'sity of Nebraska.

Brother Hall, who was initiated in 1923, served Nu Chapter as chaplain and historian and attended the Chi­cago and Birmingham conventions in the 20's, but not as official delegate.

At the University of Nebraska, from which he was graduated in Business Administration, Brother Hall be­longed to the "N" Club, was student manager of the 1929 baseball team, and was in advanced ROTC.

On the utilitarian side, the ranch is the scene of ex­tensive agricultural operations. On the scenic side, it is the home of many white deer and pheasants, wild life that used to be plentiful in this section of the West.

Tourists Come to See White Deer

We are told by Robert Agee in a feature article in the Omaha World-Herald Magazine that "the rough Sand Hills road that once had heavy freight wagons and straining mule teams is now traveled by curious motorists who come out to the Hall ranch 'to see the white deer.' " The ranch has about 200 European white fallow deer roaming wild. They are descendants of 40 brought to the ranch in 1940 when the deer herd at Pioneer Park outgrew their allotted space.

10

"Across the road in a hay meadow a spot grows ul it resolves into a big buck, white with occasional ff markings," the writer said. "His 'rack' of antlers is?~· but he carries it easily. He raises his head in curJ05·

and the antlers are silhouetted against the sky. He tc off a short distance, pauses to look, then he ambles a\lt

"The tourist drives slowly along, and another buck is spotted in the middle of the road. This one Wl­to the barbed wire fence but he doesn't jump it. He tfil' his big rack of antlers between two strands, care v steps through the wire and trots off into the meade

"Farther down the road there is a hay meadow do~ with stacks. A dozen white spots become a herd of dt a buck accompanied by does. They begin to move a; when the car is driven into the meadow, and then trot into a grove of trees along near-by Beaver Creek·

There Are Pheasants Too

"By now the motorist is rubbing his eyes. A flock pheasants scurries across the sandy ruts. Some quail ~ into some roadside weeds. A big jack rabbit flashes awl)

The Hall ranch contains 8,360 acres of good range: hay land. There are about 400 head of top-grade Ii fords and about 350 Black Poland China Hogs. A tbl' sand tons of hay are put up every Summer. The ranch 111 cable an entire stack of hay on a rubber-tired "low-~ trailer and pull it to where it is needed. There are )llf

help and lots of machinery to speed the work here. d Hub of the ranch is the six-year-old modern l1.

Brother Hall Devotes More Time to Ranch, Lodge

b Until the last few years, Mr. Hall divided his time f etween the ranch and the Petersburg State Bank, bounded by his father many years ago. Brother Ray Hall h~carne president of the bank in 1946. He disposed of h~s bank holdings in January, 1955. This has enabled /rn to spend more time at the ranch and to devote more a'rne to lodge work and other activities, including serving

Ss ~n officer of the University of Nebraska Alumni As­oc t' B Ia Ion and as secretary of the board of trustees of the

Moone County Hospital. Brother Hall belongs to the rn asons, the Scottish Rite, and the Shrine. He is a past

aster of Masons.

w In the early days, his grandfather, Edwin Hall, who Pts born in Cass County, drove a freight wagon from b attsrnouth across country to O'Neill. The road went I'k the land that became the Hall ranch. Mr. Edwin Hall 1

in the Beaver Valley in 1882. The ranch is now eight miles west of Petersburg.

Two sons, Ernest and Gus, took over the place when the older man died in 1894. Ernest, still referred to as "Dad" Hall, became sole owner in 1900. He died in 1941. Brother Ray Hall, who remembers the early days of homesteading activity, was born on the place in 1905.

Small homesteads weren't practical in the Sand Hills country, Brother Hall explained. They couldn't break the sod because if they did the soil would blow away. One by one the homesteaders left. Brother Hall's Dad bought many of their places afterward.

Mrs. Hall Hopes to Paint

A native of Boone County, Mrs. Hall, the former Harriet Nelson, attended Peru State Teachers College and taught school in Boone County before her marriage. She collects ideas on modern homes and living. She has a filing cabinet for poetry she likes. She has a keen interest in painting and hopes that some day she will paint. She would like to paint some of the many good subjects in the area.

"Mrs. Hall is especially interested in the wildlife on the ranch," Mr. Agee's story continued. " 'I love to see

Brother Harlow Hall Helps Launch Antibiotic Age

BROTHER HARLOW H. HALL, Alpha Theta '25, Michigan State University, this Summer completes

30 years of public service, dedicated to promoting the general welfare of man and animals. During this time, Dr. Hall has become a recognized authority through his research work on the microbiological production of vitamins and protein materials from grain and other agricultural products. Today, he is assistant head of the Fermentation Section at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory where the antibiotic age was born from its developments leading to the mass production of peni­cillin .

Brother Glen P. Brock

Railroad Enthusiast Moves

Through Ranl\:.s to Presidency By BERNEY SHERIDAN

Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad

GLEN P. BROCK, who never aspired to be a railroad president because he thought " running the trains was

more fun and, anyway, the job was always ably filled," is the new president of the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Rail­road. He stepped up from executive vice-president and general manager of the 3,000 mile system recently when President Frank M. Hicks became chairman. Mr. Brock was initiated into Upsilon Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, University of Illinois, in 1921.

Happily reading congratulatory messages which are pouring in by the hundreds, the new GM&O president regards the occasion equally as thrilling as the time he was promoted to assistant night yardmaster in 1922.

"If I ever earn a million dollars, it won't match the

excitement of that raise from $140 to $285 a mont!l· he confided. "Just ask Esther. We had been marrt~ a month or two and were trying to Jive on $70 a mon and pay some bills."

Working for the Illinois Central as a chainman in~· engineering gang at the time, Mr. Brock received a ."'1~ to meet the vice-president of operations on his pnVJ car. "We knew it meant something, so we were up ' 3:00 AM pressing my one suit and shining my shoes, he recollected.

The eager employee met the boss in the hallwaY 'r the car and was told about the promotion and the r3~ with the parting admonition, "Boy, this is your chan Don't muff it!"

a As pr~sident of Gulf, Mobile and Ohio, a closely man­t ged railroad which has grown from a small log line B one ?f the nation's major trunk line systems, Mr. r~ck W11l have less and less time to "run the trains."

0 ght tnck operator at Middleton, Tenn., and used to

~~n the railroad phone and windows so you could hear fi .No. 32 with the two steamers go by from your of-

ce In Mobile, 368 miles away?"

He Grew up in Railroad Family

u ~his fas~ination is understandable, for Mr. Brock grew np In a ra1lroad family. His father was a railroad engi ­lieer and a brother is now a conductor on a competing

h nhk~ most operating men, Mr. Brock has always I~~~ flatr f?r the sensational as related to railroad sales. b . IS new Job he is expected to make quite a pitch for

5~1~ess. Already he has mapped out a rigorous visiting h e ule for himself among the company's customers and i;ds ord.ered the GM&O "red carpet" out for prospective

ustnes. a A selling idea brought him his first railroad job. As to student ~t the University of Illinois, waiting on tables su earn tuition for a railroad administration course, he to g~ested to the local railroad that it send ticket sellers ro e campus in advance of college holidays. The rail­in:d ~greed and invited the originator for a personal

erv1ew which led to a job between semesters.

Teacher Is Proud of Brother Brock

B Dean Emeritus C. M. Thompson who taught Mr. ado~ economics at Illinois is still a good friend and B Vtser. "I am proud of you," he wrote back when Mr. y~ock ventured the suggestion, "A former student of

urs may soon be elected president of the GM&O." lettAnswering the flood of encouraging congratulatory

1 ers which number almost 1,000 has evolved into a ~neasant take home project for the new president who is te} almost around the clock worker anyway. A company n ephone sits beside his bed and another one hangs ear the steering wheel of his modest Chevrolet.

bu;he chief dispatcher at Bloomington wasn't surprised, su deeply chagrined late one night when Mr. Brock to ddenly rang him on the railroad line. "I expected him I call," he mused, "and had all the answers on a pad, co thought. But he'd never wanted to know the price of ca rn before." The boss was thinking about the freight

r supply for the expected movement of grain.

Entertains Friends at Resort

th The railroad's officers and the men who run the trains boought the boss would get a little more rest when he

ught a Summer home at Point Clear, across Mobile

~ llcu sr, 19 5 7

Bay from the city. However, the water front cottage has become a railroad hotel as vacationing supervisory per­sonnel, along with their families, visit with the Brocks. The boss would be the last one to recognize this as good employee relations.

An old engine bell calls the visitors out of the water to lunch and a loud-speaker on the wharf, which can be connected to a railroad phone, sometimes gives out such non-nautical information as "No. 40 left Laurel on time with 96 loads and 22 empties."

Mr. Brock brought this drive to the property when it was a scrappy, but traffic-lean local line running between Mobile and Jackson, Tenn. The decision to leave a large system where he was "doing good" professionally and to start all over again came as the result of some sage advice from an elder railroader under whom he worked. "Get off this big railroad. Find a little one in the South where you can learn fast," was the suggestion.

So bag and baggage he arrived in Mobile, Ala. In a little cubby hole in the general office of the Gulf, Mobile and Northern, now a part of the GM&O System, he worked up cost figures for the general manager and learned the importance of a sharp pencil in good railroad operations. Today the same technique applies on GM&O which is generally regarded as one of the most efficiently run railroads in the country with reference to the ratio of transportation expenses to revenue, the industry's yardstick for measuring proficiency.

In a comfortable office car, unostentatious by any standards, GM&O's new president continues to make frequent trips over the property, conferring with his division officers as he rides. His line extends today 3,000 miles to the rich industrial and farming areas of the Mid-west, linking them with two Gulf ports. Last year he saw, despite a general decline in railroad profits, his company chalk up a net income of $5,093,000 and re­tain a comfortable balance in the bank.

Hall Ranch Is Tourist Attraction (Continued from page 11)

the little spotted fawns in the Spring. One tirne 1

counted 140 deer in a hay meadow, and I'll never forget that scene.' "

The conversation then moved to Brother Hall wht' said:

" The valley was full of deer in the old days, but tM were killed off. I like deer, so when I heard that the dee; at Pioneer Park in lincoln were increasing too rapidly d offered to take some. We brought out 40 by truck a~ turned them loose. They did fine, and we brought 10

some more.' "

Hunting on Ranch Is Banned

Brother Hall said that some native deer have come baC~ to the valley and mixed with the herd. He tried to ha'·e the state set aside the ranch as a wildlife refuge, b01

game commission funds would not permit it. Now tJ:' ranch is posted as a private refuge and hunting I'

banned. The Hall family has loved wildlife for many yeari

Thirty years ago, Brother Hall's mother obtained so(l11

pheasants for stocking and kept them in her chicken house until they were old enough to release.

Brother and Mrs. Hall and Judy are hoping that a da01

can be put across Beaver Creek. d " 'Such a dam would not only save the low land an

farms farther down the line but would give our Nebrask~ another and no doubt the best and most beautiful naturJd looking lake for fishing, parks, swimming, boating, an hunting,' " Mrs. Hall said.

(Edito~s Note: News of the death of Brother Hall has be~ received at the National Office. See story in "ln Our ChaP1 Eternal." Mrs. H all and Judy afe ope,·atillg the ranch.)

Educational Career Keeps New Englander Busy

A VARIED CAREER of teaching, ard1aeological re­R bseard1, and a museum curatorship keep busy Brother t ohe~t F. W. Meader, Alpha Tau '35, Rensselaer Poly­ec ntc Institute.

lJ I~1 t~e Winter he teaches English at Susquehanna

01 ntverst~, Selinsgrove, Penna., and he spends his Sum-ers at hts home, "Vinecroft," in Wolfeboro, N. H.

He Is Curator of Museum

5 las~ Summer he was appointed curator of Libby Mu­

h~urn 10 Wolfeboro. The museum specializes in natural a t:t?ry, bu_t it has also important collections of Indian a\1 acts,_ htstorical material, and maps, as well as the fin_e hr 5

: Thts Summer, for the first time in its history, it ts t avtng four traveling exhibitions of paintings by con­~~porary artists. The museum i_s open only during the

nths of July and August, as Jt ts unheated.

12 Brother Meader was born in Brookline, Mass., Janua!y to' ~;os, son of Dr. Frederick and Sarah Morse Whtt­v 0 ~vteader. Dr. Meader was an instructor in the Har­s;rd Dental School but was forced to give up this in­toructorship and a following lucrative practice in Boston b return to his and his wife's childhood home. Wolfe­i or~ where the family had settled in 1770 on land still c~· e family. Brother Meader's health, which had oc­M 10ded the removal, improved, and there Brother

ea er has been a resident ever since.

'WI~ 1925 he was graduated from Brewster Academy, 11? feboro, and in 1929 he received his A. B. from c~d~lebury College, where he had majored in Latin and f glts~. While at Middlebury, he helped found a local a~~e~ntty, Delta Sigma. Having an interest in b~t~ ritual ritu Jewelry, ~e was assig~ed the task of wrttmg the g a! and destgning the ptn and pledge button of the \V~0~P· After two years this fraternity was amalgamated "";t a small national Beta Psi of which, later, Brother •vtead ' ' . . a d er ~as elected the second national vtce-prestdent n put 10 charge of expansion in the East.

His Fraternity Joins Pi Kappa Phi

ti '''When the depression struck, Beta Psi, unable to con­\V~~he a_ separate existence longer, in turn amalgamated la~te Pt Kappa Phi," Brother Meader explained .. ·:The of . r _e_xt~nded to former alumni of Beta Pst the prtvtlege

F tntttatton into that chapter which was nearest to us. ~rn D ·

n e, as for another brother Clinton W. ementt, ow ' \V superintendent of St. Albans, Vermont, that chapter

and f In 1931 Brother Meader received his M. A. in Latin ·as~' hrorn the University of Pennsylvania. Since that time he turJI a a~ d_one graduate work in English at Harvard University,

and 0 tn archaeology at the University of Naples.

i ''All my life I have been a teacher, thereby following befl ~- 01Y mother's footsteps," he said. "My first job was

'llpttl n tth the Malcolm Gordon School at Garrison, N. Y. My elet school was my old alma mater, Brewster Academy,

,~ 4u G Usr, 1957

Brother Robert F. W. Meader

where I was master in Latin and history, as I had be::n at Malcolm Gordon. Thence I went to the Bancroft Schoo] at Worcester, Mass., a splendid day school for g irls; there, in addition to my Latin work, I was also the school li­brarian. To keep myself out of mischief, I was a guest lecturer on Roman archaeology and antiquities at the nearby Worcester Art Museum, and was also very active in youth work at All Saints' Episcopal Church.

Believes Remains Are Tenth Century Structures

"My archaeological bent got a strong boost from certain highly mysterious remains in nearby West Upton, and farther north at North Salem, N. H. These remains are stone huts and houses, not built by the early American settlers nor by the Norse, yet very strongly resembling the Celtic work of Brittany and the west coast of Ireland. The theory, to which I personally subscribe, is that they were settled by Irish Culdee monks around 900 A. D., who had previously been driven out of Iceland by the invading Norse, and had fled westward to America. The Nor.e apparently found them in the country upon their arrival in 1000 or 1002. Anyway, it is an intriguing sub­ject, and I wrote several articles on that and related mat­ters for the Worcester S11nday Telegram."

For the past eleven years Brother Meader has been teaching at Susquehanna. He went there as instructor in Latin, to revive a defunct department which had been a war casualty. He also taught English literature, the Eng­lish novel, and semester courses in the history of art and ·· the history of civilization, and two sections of English

Brother Denny Sparks Program

For World Understanding

SEVERAL YEARS have passed since The Star and ~ Lamp looked in on Brother George V. Denny, Jr., Kappa ' 19, University of North Carolina, who is known to millions of Americans as the man who for a number of years was moderator of the radio program, "Amer­ica's Town Meeting of the Air," which he founded in 1935.

A recent check revealed that he is now one of the two vice-presidents of the People-to-People Foundation, Suite 1402, 45 West 45 th Street, New York 36, N.Y., spending five days a week on foundation activities. He lives in West Cornwall, Conn., where his week ends are occupied with his Covered Bridge Inn and Shopping Area.

How Program Operates

Included in the literature which the People-to-People Foundation distributes is a booklet entitled "What You Should Know about the People-to-People Program­How It Operates-What You Can Do." The following guotations are taken from this publication :

"What is the People-to-People Program?

"It is a program launched by President Eisenhower at a White House Conference in September, 1956. It is designed to promote contacts and activities among individuals around the world, which will further in­ternational understanding and friendship. Private in character, the program is distinct from official govern­ment activity. At the White House Conference about 50 leaders in various aspects of our economic, social, and cultural life who had been appointed chairmen were asked to organize committees to develop not one, but thousands of methods of people-to-people contacts through every avenue of communication. The President and the Secretary of State, after underscoring the natural limitations of the efforts of governments to maintain peace and to deal with the hazards of the present arma­ments race, called upon the committee chairmen to help create a climate in which governments can work more effectively toward securing peace with justice and liberty for all.

Work of the Committees

"What are the committees actually going to do?

"Each committee is autonomous and voluntary and is expected to initiate its own program in its particular field. For example: The Letter Writing Committee is working with those organizations experienced in or de­sirous of stimulating person-to-person correspondence be­tween individual Americans and individuals abroad. A N ationalities Committee, working with some 35 million foreign-born and first generation Americans, is en­couraging both letter writing and two-way travel to promote international friendship and understanding. The Music, Fine Arts, Cartoonists, Books, and Writers com­mittees will promote the same objectives through both

22

media . an~ person-~o-person exchanges. The Advertisint Orgamzat10ns, Busmess Organizations, Business Counol for I~ternational Understanding, the Sports and YoU~ comm~ttees, ~e Transportation Agencies and Trave!ell ~omm1ttees .will encourage emphasis on these objectJV~ 10 world-w1de conferences and meetings. The Wome~) Gro~ps Committee is undertaking a study of communi~ reactiOns and resources concerning the thousands 01

foreign visitors, both students and leaders who co!l1e ent

to this country each year. The Committee ~n Medicine Nat

d d ~ an Health plans interchange at medical meetings a~ are e~ch~nge of medi~al information. These are simply ~~· d1Cat1v.e of the vanety and scope of the activities noW 10

opera~10n or planned by the 41 committees whose me~; bersh1p now includes nearly 1,000 distinguished leaders.

As the booklet points out, this type of program is no! new. "People-to-people activities have been conducted by private organizations ahd also by government for many years . .. . Of course, churches and other religious ~rganizations all have, as an integral part of their own lrfe, people-to-people contacts around the world."

Necessity for the Program

"Why the People-to-People Foundation?

" It became apparent at once that such a vast progra!l1 a as that called for by the President would require equal!) N substantial financing. The government, through its va· » rious agencies, was spending an estimated $4o,ooo,oD0 on people-to-people activities, not including the Voice of ~ America. Private organizations, whose activities were al· most wholly unrelated, were spending an estimated $2~,· th 000,000. The need was clear for a central agency to ra1se riJ funds from private sources and to provide machi~etf for ready exchange of ideas, techniques, and inspiratJ0°· tJ On February 4, 1957, the People-to-People Foundatiop• - ~ Inc., was formally organized with the committee cha,r· men serving as trustees, eight of whom were elected to the board of directors.

How the Money Is to Be Raised

"Will the foundation raise all the money for the People-to-People program?

"No. Each committee is independent and autonomous and may work through and with many organizationS and institutions. Most of these have long-establisht;d loyalties and sources of revenue. The foundation "''!) seek financial support for new and effective methods 0

expanding and strengthening people-to-people cont~cts around the world, and for the increase and expansion of activities based on the sound principles developed over the years by the pioneers in the field. The founda· tion will assiduously avoid competition with any esta~· lished people-to-people enterprises, government or prJ· vate."

The foundation envisions the formation of people-tO people foundations in other countries in order to make it possible for the people of the United States to lellrn more "from other cultures and peoples."

Opening of Museum Coincides With White Man's Centennial

}'l-IE OPENING of the new Pioneer Memorial Muse­th ' urn in Olympic National Park at Po~t Angeles, Wash., . Is Year coincides with the lOOth anntversary of the ar­

rtvat of the first white settler in Clallam County. (The ~rk is located in Clallam, Grays Harbor, Jefferson, and

ason counties.)

B?ne of the prime movers in the museum p~ojec_t was \'Qoth~r Fred J. Overly, Alpha Delta '28, Umverstty of

ashtngton, who is superintendent of the park. In a story published in the Seattle (JV ash.) Times, the

~thor, Miss Frances Gallagher, tells the story of how e park obtained its museum. i ''In January, 1944, Thomas T. Aldwell, industrialist,

PS oneer, and author now deceased gave to the United tat ' ' ch'ld f es 35 acres of land 'for recreational use of the I ren

~i Port Angeles.' He gave the land in memory of his first th fe, Eva Wolf Aldwell, and a plaque stands today on

e museum lot, explaining the bequest.

Government Accepts Land

b "T~e government accepted the land the next September ut dtd nothing more with it until Overly became park

~Uperintendent in 1951. After ponderous turning of red­aped Wheels in Washington D. C. the 35 acres became

Part f ' ' s· th 0 Olympic National Park on January 6, 1953. mce h e area adjoined park headquarters, it increased the total eadquarters area to 70 acres."

th Several others joined Brother Overly in asking that e doQ.ated land become a part of the park.

l-:Ii~t ~e sa.n:e time, mem_ber~ of the_ Cla~lam_ County towtoncal Soctety were constdenng poss1ble stte_s m do~n­n n Port Angeles for a small museum to dtsplay pw­\V~r m~mentos. The group who had turned "_red-tap_ed

eels tn Washington" suggested that the soCiety bmld a museum on park property and turn it over to the Park

Service for maintenance and operation. The idea was fi­nally approved, an~ th_r~ugh the efforts of several organi­zations and many mdtvtduals, a $100,000 structure was built for an actual cash outlay of about $30,000. The author of the story in the Times pointed out ~at '_'it took the special efforts of the Clallam County Htstoncal So­ciety, the late Thomas T. Aldwell, t~e Olympic ~a~ral History Association, Port Angeles Htgh School bUildmg­trades classes who took it as a class project. There were and Port Angeles industries, and of dollars from private citizens." The carpentry work was donated by building­trades classes who took it as a class projest. There were other donations as well as economies, including the use of salvable timber converted to lumber and the purchase of a furnace from surplus at Fort Worden.

Museum Is Orientation Center

The museum overlooks the Strait of Juan de Fuca from its site just south of Port Angeles city limits. This sturdy cedar structure, which boasts 6,000 feet of floor space for its eight rooms a?d auditorium, is ser':ing a~ the orientation and reception center for Olymptc Natwnal Park visitors.

The museum will follow the "Mountains, Water, Life" theme, dealing with the origin of the mountains, glaciation, climate, rai_n, forest, wil? flow~rs, animals, the Olympic ocean stnp, and other mterestmg features.

Brother Overly and Park Naturalist Gunnar Pager­lund have expressed the hope that "the new building wi~l stimulate visitors' interest to get the most out of thetr park trip . Exhibits will_ direC: them t_o points where !=hey may obtain more detat!ed mformahon on the subjects most fascinating to them, or to places where they can ex­plore this last great wi lderness for themselves.''

He Is Graduated From Furman

In the Fall of 1929, Brother Martin entered Georgia State for one quarter of work. During that time he re­ceived an offer of a full scholarship at South Carolina's Furman University, a Baptist instih.ttion, covering tui­tion, room, and board. He transferred to Furman in Jan­uary, 1930. For the next two and a half years he attended Furman around the calendar, Summer quarters included, and thus was able to win his degree mm lattde in a class of 66 in June, 1932. For that entire period he worked, under the terms of his scholarship, as assistant to the Furman alumni secretary. Here he taught himself to type and learned such alumni office routines as getting out mailings, keeping files up-to-date, and conducting alumni meetings.

"When 21-year-old Walter Martin came to Palatka in the Fall of 1932 as a teacher in Putnam (now Palatka) High School, Clare Philips was a junior in the school. They met in a study hall which he was holding, but she never was in one of his classes.

" 'I didn't teach her anything then, and I haven't since,' her husband chuckled .

"They had their first date early in her senior year in high school-his second year in Palatka. Ordinarily such social relationships between a high school girl and a

25

young teacher would have caused unfavorable comment in a small city, but Walter Martin had the best possible allies in his courtship : his girl's parents .... They even helped things along by inviting him to dinner at least once a week and by taking the young couple on long rides in the country or to other towns.

" 'After all,' Dean Martin said, 'liberal arts has bet' tio1 my life. Thorough grounding in the liberal arts sho~' "'f be the springboard to everything else. I even hope t · th~ day will come-though I realize that the time is n~ sul yet ripe- when all professional schools will require ;ll

AB Degree for adrrussion.' " "Before the year was over, Clare Philips and Walter

Martin were engaged to marry, but they waited six years before they did. For one thing, young couples then, unlike today, were prone to wait until the future was a little clearer. For another thing, Walter Martin was making only $65 a month-hardly enough to support two, even in those days. For still another, he thought he should have most of his graduate work behind him before entering the state of matrimony. "

He Joins Staff of University of Georgia

His memberships, besides Pi Kappa Phi, include Pi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, recognition society; Alp~ Phi Omega, service fraternity; Gridiron Club, Kiwant> American Historical Association, Mississippi Valley J-ltl torical Association, Southern Historical Association, f]or da Historical Society, and Phi Alpha Theta, natianal Jw torical fraternity.

Jects.

He Does Much Church Work

a Bro~her Meader's church work has continued to take becons tderable amount of his time. For ten years he has an~nl on the vestry of All Saints' Church in Selinsgrove, \Va a~ reader of the parish. For an entire year the church po~ ~tthout a vicar, and the bishop of Harrisburg ap­th~n ed Brother Meader lay vicar until he was relieved clerte~t Fall. For the past nine years he has been the has h 0 the vestry. He commented that it seems that he he h eld such an office in every organization with which

as ever been affiliated. "D .

Sum urmg the Summer of 1948 I was the director of the the me~ Classical School of Naples and Cumae, under ''It ~egts of _the _\' ergilian Society," Brother Meader said. \'q as fascmatmg work, and down my particular alley. toue Were then based in Naples, and conducted lecture va/s for high school teachers and college students to Pae1~ famous sites: Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, assist ' Cumae, Misenum, Capri, and Rome. We were ands e~ by ~arious professors of the University of Naples Naz· t e dtr~ctor and assistant director of the Museo cav ~onale dt Napoli, as well as by the directors of ex-

a tons at Pompeii, Baiae, and Ostia."

Or~hile a youth, Brother Meader was a member of the ''Da~~. of DeMolay for Boys, and adviser, and later bee of the Wolfeboro Chapter. For 27 years he has \'qo1f\member of Morning Star Lodge, F. and A.M., of han e oro. He is a member of Pi Gamma Mu, national

orary social science fraternity.

He Is Contributor to Magazines

bu~~ has been a member of various classical associations De ropped most of these when he dropped the Latin

Partment at the university and resumed work in Eng-

]ish. In addition to his teaching duties, he is university fire marshal. He has been a contributor of articles to Travel, The Classical Journal, The Classical Outlook, and The Susquehanna Studies, and is a member of the American Association of University Professors. Accord­ing to the article in "Who's Who in American Educa­tion," he has traveled in the United States, Canada, Italy, and Cuba.

Reports on Work at New York Celebration

In returning to the subject of English literature, Broth­er Meader referred to his coming upon "The History of Hamlet, King of Denmark," a tetralogy of plays, by the famous American poet-dramatist, Percy MacKaye. "I was tremendously impressed by the beauty and profundity of his writing," Professor Meader commented. "So im­pressed, in fact, that I have used it for three years as re­quired reading in my English literature classes." About two years ago Mr. MacKaye invited Brother Meader to New York to his 80th birthday celebration to tell his as­sembled guests of the use that is being made of these plays at Susquehanna. Brother Meader expressed pride that Susquehanna is the first collegiate institution to have used the work as a part of the required work in the Eng­lish course. As a result of his speech, six major univer­sities, including Columbia, expressed their intention to use this work also. One of Brother Meader's students wrote such a fine critique of the plays that, at Mr. Mac­Kaye's request, it was deposited in the special collection he has given to Harvard University of his works and manuscripts.

In reply to a question, Brother Meader said that he has two hobbies, picture taking and archaeology, chiefly classical, but actually any that deals with our Western civilization especially. He has done some digging around Wolfeboro and a very little in Italy.

Thus ends a story about another Pi Kapp trail blazer. The Star and Lamp will be watching for reports on Bro­ther Meader's future digging and other research .
