The purpose of the Conference, asa'nnounced, was to consider the desira­bility of forming a Professional Inter­fraternity Conference and to inaguratesuch an association if found desirableand feasible.

Butler OutEnes Objective

The Conferenc'e was opened by thePresident of the Conference of LawF'raternities, Major Jarvis Butler, SigmaNu Phi, who welcomed the delegates onbehalf of the law fraternities and out­lined the thought underlying the pro­posal. Major Butler said, in part:

It is not only a satisfaction togreet you because we are all en-,gaged in forwarding like hi gh ain1sin -\- he field ('If professioilal educa­tic ~l out gratifying to addr'ess youfor the moment as the spokesn1anfor the la\v fraternities. Many ofyou have come long distances to at­tend these sessions and all are im­bued with the intangible spirit ofdevotion to high ideals that bindsall fraternity men to each other.

fulness of the professional frater­nities.Here is a meetin'g, I can well be­lieve, which is an earnest of thea\¥akened consciences of moderntimes. It is not a convention ofremorse nor a session of sorrow,nor is it a council- seeking to re­make the fraternity system. It is,rather, a coming together of thefraternities representative of allspheres of professional activity toapply the better attributes of 'eachand to minimize the faults of all.

Organization Plus SentimentSpeaking on behalf of the law frater­

nities as official sponsors for the invita­tion, I think I may say that the call isnot of the law fraternities alone, butrather the desire of each organizationhere represented thirsting for better re­lationship, the advancement of a newspirit of comity, and seeking a mediumfor helpful co-operation.

We contemplate or apprehend no in­vasion of the respective rights of each.vVe ask nothing which belongs to an­other, and we wish only to do with youthat finer, nobler thing which no fra­ternity can do alone. vVe wish to sitwith you at the table of fraternal under­standjng and good will. In 'good con­science we are eager to meet you frank­ly and invite and offer co-operation.

We know that our several fraternitieshave common origins and commonideals. Structurally, we follow organ­iaztions of men in business pursuitsfrom 'which we get our ritualistic formsand to some extent our nomenclatureand machinery of administration and

tering school and was initiated March20, 1920.

The single life is still the lot of Bro.·Phillips, and he occupi~s his workinghours as a draftsman. He spent a yearand a half in Denver following hisgraduation and then moved to NewYork, where he was with the B. G.Goodhue Associates for ,two years.

A New York Alumni ChapterFraternally at the present time Broth­

er Phil is at the head of the New YorkA P X men who are preparing a petitionto the Grand Council for a charter to,establish an Alumni Chapter. The ac­tual pr'esen.tatton to the Grand Councilhas been delayed a little to enable allmen of all chapters to be petition sign­ers. At the last report there were overforty m'en from six of the ten chapterson the roll.

As his first job as Grand Lecturer,Brother Phillips will take hold of thesong book proposition. He writes: "Mypresent intention is to get out a bluelined print of the songs iR the presentbook and then to add to and alter untilwe have something to print. This willprobably take a number of years to ac­complish, but it seems the sure way toget a tried and tested group of son gs.I am anxious to receive any new orig­inal nlusic or lyrics."

Delegates to the Charlottesville con­vention "vill remember "Phil" as theAnthemios Alumni -delegate at thatgathering. -

government. To the things thus bor­ro,ved, ,ve have added a strong force(;of s':.:ntilllent "vhich appeals powerfullyto the maturing- youth upon his admis­sion to profess" onal society. It is tothis idealism that "ve look for our owninternal effectiveness, and the measurein which such idealism becomes a realitydetermines the influence of each unitand of the fraternity itself. * * *

A Study of Common ProblemsJust as effective in the direction of

better feeling is the consciousness that

the problems of fraternity administra­tion and of fraternity life are the samefor all. All have exactly the same ques­tions to answer and the sanie problemsto solve. The man who is elected toan Olffice of influence is glad to get sug­gestions frOI'll the experience of his pre­decessor.

The man who undertakes a businessenterprise, if he is a business man,profits by the successes or failures ofothers in similar undertakings. Frater­nity OIfficials and fraternity I'llembers arein exactly the same position and canwell afford to learn from those formerlyca.lled rivals. * * *

The best that is in men is brought outby association with others. In such as­sociation altruiSI'll takes the place ofselfishness. Both the opportunity andthe inspiration for unselfish action arefurnished by association.

A Miore Serious MissionThe professional fraternity has alvvays

had a more serious mission C~an tomerely offer social activities to the un­dergraduate. We believe it involves theentire lief of our meI'llbers from theclevelopnient of a professional snir'talnong undergraduates, through - thestages wherein we suppl:;ment ourschools by the encouragel'~v~nt of highscholarship, into the field of activepractice where our standards may 'becarried to aid in raising those of theprofession as a Whole.

To such extent as possible, the merekno"vledge that the practitioner is a

fraternity trained man should be at oncea guarantee of his steadfastness andworth, integrity and character. It shouldmake him eligible to fill any positionwithin his profession and create a de­mand for his services because of hisefficiency, thoroughness and superiority,-services always rendered vvith creditto his fraternity, to his client and tohimself. * * *

The experience of the conference ofLaw }1'raternities has so conclusivelydemonstrated the usefulness of anagency for promoting interfraternitycomity and co-operation between pro­fessional groups that vve unanimouslyrecommend the: most careful consider­ation of the proposal.

Interfraternity Confere'nce CordialRight here I want to say that the

onference of Law FraternIties has en­joyed the most cordial and helpful re­lations with the Interfraternity Confer­ence. The studies and reports of thatorganization have been made freelyavailable to us and theyhave sent ablemen to address our meetings. Beingdeeply sensible of the extensive workthey have performed, much of whichinures to our benefit, I strongly urgethat it always be the policy of the pro­fessional fraternities when like'iVise or­ganized to establish and Inaintairt har­monious co-operative relations with thatbod:v.

I have already stated that we have noissues to present and it follows that theproposal for this conference contem­plates no surrendered rights or narrov.redfreedom of operation, or denial of as­pirations. The Law Fraternities wouldno more ask for these than they 'iVouldgive. No pride need be humbled, nofraternity submerged, but vve would havea mergence of minds committ~ng all ofus to that finer spirit of co-operationin forwa.rc1ing the cause of the profes­sional fraternities which we confidentlybelieve in as helpful to the students andpra,ctitioners of any learned profession.* * *

We are met for a service to profes-sional education. In proportion to ourbelief in our cause we have the oppor­tunity to work for its advancement.The greatest assurance of accomplish­ment of this end will be found in ex­changes of simple honesty and direct­ness. I hope, therefore, for the accom­plishment of much good by this con­ference and for a unanimous sentimentfor a common recognition of a usefulservice to our nle-mbers of t~e presentand of the future. Such an accomplish­ment will be an added achievement toyour fraternity a,nd to min~.

Professional Organization DesiredFollowing his address, Major Butler

was chosen temporary chairman, andthe first action of the Conference \vasthe recording of the unaninlous opinionthat an interfraternity association ishighly desirable and tha,t its organiza­tion should be undertaken.

In vi·e\iV of the dependence of actionupon certain definitions the Conferencedirected that a committee be appointedto report a definition of "professional"and of such other tern1S as might berefeI red to it. The following report ofthe Definitions Commmittee "vas adopt­ed after discussion: The comlnitteerecommends that in the determinationof what are professional ideals, the fol­lowing tests shall be Inet:

The professional shall-(l) Be gener­ally recognized by universities and col­leges as a profession, by the creationof cours·'='s th·~rpin in s'3p~r~t~ sT)~""ial

. Committees AppointedThe Conference took up for consider­

ation, as a basis for discussion, the ten­tative draft of a constitution and by­laws prepared by the Executive C'om'­mittee of the Conference of Law Fra­ternities.
