AL S

The much-talked of Berkeley convention has come and gone.Its proceedings now make up part of the fraternity's history.

Legislation has been enacted and the supremeConvention, law has been decreed. Loose ends have beenat en.Th caught up and efficiency methods, that look

good on paper, have been adopted. Officers who will beresponsible for the conduct of the fraternity have been elected.Delegates from the chapters have come to the convention, casttheir votes and have returned home, back to the chapters, whichsent them out.What next? What does this mean in terms of improvement

and betterment of Pi Kappa Phi? Absolutely nothing, unlessthe delegates carry back to the chapters the spirit of brotherlyfeeling and fraternal consciousness, which was displayed onthe convention floor. Unless the chapter spokesmen return totheir chapters and attempt to give to the less fortunate brothers,who were unable to attend, some idea of that gathering duringthe Christmas holidays, the force of the convention will bedissipated. The momentum, so magnificiently started at the1921 convention, will be spent ere long, if the brothers innineteen different sections of the country do not give thenecessary push and lift.Undoubtedly the Berkeley convention was history-making.

It is agreed to have been one of the best in the annals of PiKappa Phi. Much needed legislation was enacted. Yet whole-souled co-operation and willingness to serve and aid are non-legislative qualities. The trip across the continent and back,with brothers from every chapter of the fraternity in the samecar, served to increase the national conception of Pi Kappa Phi.

4 THE STAR AND LAMP

The representative from Psi, in the chilly Empire State mingledwith the delegate from Chi, situated in the balmy atmosphereof Florida. A Cornhusker from Nebraska got the point ofview of a Tar Heel from "Bull" Durham Town. And aboveall the energetic Gammazettes saw their eastern brothers forthe first time, and were further assured that Pi Kappa Phiholds a peculiar niche in the Greek-letter structure in Americancolleges.Yet the success of the convention lies heavily on the shoulders

of each chapter delegate. To him was given the honor ofspeaking for his group of brothers back on his college campus.To him has come the greater responsibility of carrying backto that group the ideals and spirit of progress shown at theconvention. He spoke for the chapter. Now it is time for himto speak for the convention. Tell of the progress of thefraternity. Relate the words of commendation spoken by thesupreme officers. Explain the reason for the pride that PiKapps have for their fraternity. Speak of the plans for thefuture. And the spirit of the place, ah, that must be lived andmade a part of one's life. To the delegate comes this honoredtask. On that depends the success of the convention.

THE STAR AND LAMP did not go to the convention "loadedfor bear" and determined on radical changes. There were,

however, a few places where touching up wasMagazine needed. The business management was notManagement

being handled in the most efficient manner,because Bro. J. Cozby Byrd was hampered and restricted. Hewas not residing in the same city with the editor-in-chief andthat had its problem. Then the finances and the payment ofthe life subscription were in need of re-vamping. And allthese things came to pass.

In the first place, the position of business manager of THESTAR AND LAMP was done away with. All funds of the maga-zine, the collection of active subscriptions, and the paymentof bills, will henceforth, be in the hands of the supreme

EDITORIALS 5

treasurer. In the present case, since Bro. Henry G. Harper,Jr., newly elected supreme treasurer, lives in Charlotte with theeditor, financial affairs of the fraternity journal should beadmirably conducted. We do not anticipate any hitch on thatscore now.

It should be remembered by the brothers in the chapters thatBrother Harper is the sole financial wizard of the fraternity.He handles all funds of the organization. What we are inter-ested in getting across just at this time, is that he looks out forthe money of THE STAR AND LAMP. All life subscriptionsshould be sent to him.

Another change that will make for efficiency in the conductof the magazine was the amendment to the life subscriptionruling, which now calls for the payment of $10 for life sub-scription in a lump sum at the time of initiation. This willeliminate the cumbersome method of attempting to collect threepayments of $2.50 from a brother who may have left the chapterand hied himself to the Isles of the Pacific or to South Africa.The entire cost is met at entrance into the fraternity and thebrother pays for his magazine, getting, the journal for theremainder of his life without worry on his part. The import-ance of this innovation can hardly be estimated. In the firstplace, it will guarantee to the brothers, who hereafter make thecomplete payment, their magazine. It will simplify the recordsof the supreme treasurer. This phase, due to the increase inMembership, as the years pass by, would have swamped thebrother who might have tried to handle the subscriptions underthe old plan. Now one record, with probable changes inaddress, is sufficient. Easy, isn't it?An innovation in the editorial staff has been made by the

editor, who has taken advantage of his appointive power andnamed two associate editors. Bro. George M. Grant, of Omi-cron, and Bro. Orvin B. Gaston, of Nu, have been selected forthe positions. In his choice the editor believes he hasbrothers, not only with fine editorial ability, but also that con-tagious Pi Kapp spirit and enthusiasm, which he furtherbelieves will be harnessed, for the betterment of Pi Kappa Phi.

6 THE STAR AND LAMP

• Mention of the entrance of the Komos local fraternity atCornell University, into Pi Kappa Phi as Psi Chapter, was

made in the January issue Of THE STAR ANDAnother Wel- LAMP. Owing to the closeness of the installa-come to Psi

tion date to the appearance of the magazine,it was impossible to include in the last number an account of theinstallation ceremonies and the history of the local group.These stories will be found elsewhere in this issue.By this time the new chapter has become an integral part of

Pi Kappa Phi. Its representative has taken part in the delibera-tions of a convention and has personally become known torepresentatives of every chapter. The "baby" chapter has seenthe inside workings of the fraternity, and therefore knows itsplace in the order of things.Yet the editor again voices the fraternity's welcome to the

new brothers and asks full-fledged support from the newlyinstalled chapter. This will be forthcoming, for assurance ofaid has not only been given but actual assktance has alreadycome from the chapter.Pi Kappa Phi has its program to pursue among college men.

Psi will share in that program. That fact is assured.

A-wearin' of th' pin—the diamond-shaped badge of Pi KappaPhi. That has been the bone of contention of many brothers.

It has been the thorn in the flesh of theA-Wearin' of stickler for the exact. Yet what has beenth' Pin

accomplished in the uniformity of the wearingof the pin? What good is it to legislate the pill into a verticalposition over the heart on the vest or shirt of a Pi Kapp? Thathonored emblem of membership in Pi Kapp? Phi has beenknown to appear on the waistcoat of a fellow. brother in as

• many different positions and locations as a college widow hasbeaux. It has been seen roaming over a brother's front fromthe extreme northern vest line to the furtherelt extremity onthe southern border.There was a time, back in the infancy of college fraternities

EDITORIALS 7

when the pin was worn on the necktie, right out under htechin of a fraternity man, where nothing could fail to show tothe world that the wearer was a fraternity man. Yet that dayhas passed, well that it has. That was flaunting membershipin the face of all, which was not well for the Greek-letterfraternal system. Good taste, no doubt, demanded that thebadge be worn in a less conspicuous place.Good taste in Pi Kappa Phi has said that the pin shall be

worn in a vertical position over the heart. The badge pinnedon in any position loses its significance. Why should a newlybetrothed wear her diamond ring on any other finger than thethird of the left hand. Why should a Pi Kapp wear his pin inany other place than over his heart. Think it over. There's areason for everything.

It is human nature to be careless with costly things. That'sthe reason grave-diggers, undertakers and detectives flotirish.

The value of things of worth often escapesSafeguarding the mind of the possessor: That's one of thethe Gripreasons why a fraternity man will be careless

in giving the grip to a brother of the order.The grip is one of the secrets that go to make a college

fraternity secret. Outside of the ritual, the grip is practicallythe last item on the secret list. Yet how often do brothers ofPi Kappa Phi give thought to the sacredness and worth of thegrip? How often do they in the exuburance of fraternalgreeting rush up to a brother and give the grip in such a waythat all may see and know. Care-free, thoughtless, and care-less. Through trials and tribulations wa knowledge of thegrip attained, yet often it is displayed to the prying public, whomay quickly grab it, without effort and test. Is it right? Thebrothers who are guilty of doing this very thing answer nq.They simply fail to stop and give heed.The correct way. Approach the brother with the hand in

its natural conformity. Shake hands. Place the left hand overthe back of the brother's right hand. He should do the same

8 THE STAR AND LAMP

thing. After both have "covered," the grip can easily andsafely be given. Remember, Pi Kapps, follow that policy allthe time, regardless of the place. If the grip is given in theprescribed manner there need be no fear.

As far back as the editor can remember, there has been talkin the fraternity of a song book. At last, a real step has been

taken in the direction of reaching the looked-That Song for goal. The convention started the ball toBook

rolling and before the convening of the nextconclave, the book should be ready to send to the long-waitingbrothers.In naming Bro. Wade S. Bolt as editor of the book, the con-

vention, was showing wisdom. Brother Bolt fits in the place,like a cog in a well-planned machine. That's his job and hewill do the work with pleasure and efficiency. Many are thepages of THE STAR AND LAMP adorned with his musical com-positions. Yet he can not and will not attempt to produce thebook of his own labors. He needs the backing of every man inthe fraternity. The convention has decreed that each chaptershall send in at least two songs.

Brother Bolt has already started work. He outlines histentative program on other pages of this number. Read whathe has to say and let him know what you think. Chaptersshould consider his plan and inform him of what the chapterthinks of it. He asks that. Let him know now. Offer sug-gestions now while the opportunity is at hand. Don't wait untilthe book is out and then criticise.

With the appearance of The Upsilon Torch, another printedchapter communication, has been added to the list. The Torch,

according to its pronouncement, is "a monthlyAnother publication devoted to shedding the light ofCommunication

ance. The staff is composed of Carl R. Miller, editor; E. B.Jacobsen, contributing editor; and H. H. Rathbun, businessmanager.Already the fraternity has the following chapter newspapers:

,Gaiiimazette; Nebraska Nies and Kappa Scroll. Other chap-ters are known to be contemplating the issuance of printedcommunications. Chapter communications are the best meansof keeping the interest of the alumni. That was agreed at theconvention and was the reason the amendment was made to thesupreme law, requiring four communications to be sent outfrom each chapter each school year.Extreme care ought to be exercised by the chapters in the

decision of the kind of communication to be mailed out. Besure, before attempting a printed affair, that the chapter is ableto bear the expense. Do not attempt to emulate the chapterswith printed newspapers, unless the treasury is able to stand thedrain. The communication is the thing; not so much the form.If the printing bill becomes too burdensome and the men inthe chapter are heavily touched, then such a communicationdefeats its conceived purpose. •

10 THE STAR AND LAMP

A PEEP INTO THE CONVENTIONBy Ti E EDITOR

The brothers took their places at the individual tables inGamma Chapter's living rooms, Berkeley, Calif., at 9 o'clock,December 28, 1921. Bro. Roy J. Heffner, then eminentsupreme archon, arose from his seat at the long and officialtable at the front of the room. He declared the eighth biennialconvention of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity in session.And the fraternity mill started to grind; turning raw ideas

of brothers into finished products for the progress of thefraternity.In his opening remarks Brother Heffner told the story of

how Gamma, far off and isolated, had thought of the fraternityas something to be thought of, and not seen. A few years agothe only connection the chapter had with the fraternity, he said,was himself, who had been privileged to attend the Savannahand Charlotte conventions. But the dreamed of had come realand visible brothers of the order had gathered in the chapter'sown house for a convention. He declared it was needless toexpress the appreciation and welcome of the western brothers,for that was self-evidentBro. F. W. Thomas, archon for Gamma Chapter, was. intro-

duced by Brother Heffner. Brother Thomas also spoke of thefeeling of the men of Gamma toward the fraternity, because

, of the distance of the chapter from the rest of the fraternity.Yet he said the chapter representatives made up a "fine tribe"

and he bid the visiting brothers welcome.Brother Harper was the next speaker and he spoke of the

importance of the convention and predicted the greatest gather-ing within the history of the order. He was followed by Bro.James W. Setze, Jr., who told of interesting experiences along

the route. He said that an elderly lady, who attended theChristmas tree °exercises on the train, was so impressed with theconduct of Pi Kapps that she said her attitude toward fraterni-ties had been changed and that on her return home, she wasgoing to give to her son a long-withheld permission to join a

fraternity. He also stressed the type of Pi Kapps and said


that Pi Kapps are the same on the Pacific coast, down in South

Carolina or above the Mason and Dixon Line.

Brother Setze was followed by Bros. J. Cozby Byrd and

Richard L. Young, who touched briefly on the possibilities of

the convention, emphasizing the beneficial results of the Pacific

coast meeting.

Bro. J. E. Erickson then made the announcement of the

entertainment features planned by Gamma Chapter and called

attention to the printed program of events.

Then came the reports of the supreme officers. These reports

are found elsewhere in this issue of THE STAR AND LAMP.

Brother Heffner then announced the, personnel of the com-

mittees.The custom at previous conventions of resolving

the con-

vention to a committee of the whole was discontinued. Instead

of threshing out all questions on the floor of the convention,

the entire work was done in the committee room. When a

committee finished its work, the chairman reported that fact

to the supreme archon, who called the convention into general

session to hear the committee's report. Then the report was

considered, adopted, amended, or referred back to the com-

mittee for further deliberation.

In that way a vast amount of work was done and much

needed legislation was enacted after careful and judicial con-

sideration. It was agreed that more was accomplished at the

1921 convention than at any other previous one. The reason

assigned was the method used.

Here are high lights in the way of legislation.

First in the thoughts of the fraternity is the election of

officers. Here's the result:

Supreme Archon—Roy J. Heffner, Gamma.

Supreme Secretary—J. W. Setze, Jr., Iota.

OUTSIDE THE CONVENTIONAL HALL

The two banquets on the program vie with each other for

first place in the hearts and minds of the visiting Pi Kapps.If a vote were taken on the question, it is sure that no brother

would be found who could put one before the other—bothwere worthy of the generous brothers who planned them.

The alumni banquet was held in a private dining hall at

Tait's, an exclusive establishment in San Francisco, Thursdaynight, the second day of the convention. The members of the

San Francisco Alumni Chapter planned the event and the entirevisiting delegations and supreme officers were feted by theGamma brothers. That gathering will be an outstanding brightspot in the memories of the men who made that unforgettable

trip to the land of Gamma. The cabaret dances, the good fel-

lowship, the first meeting with some of the Gamma brothers,

were enjoyed in Pi Kapp fashion, and that means in the spirit

of gratitude and appreciation for the efforts of the responsible

brothers.The San Francisco Alumni Chapter is composed of the fol-

lowing brothers: George E. Armstrong, Don B. Benson, 0. S.

Cook, Hal L. Cummings, David P. Hardy, Herbert Hardy, J. S.

Hook, William P. Hugo, Harry L. Long, Stephen Malapesta,

Louis D. Null, J. Boyd Oliver, Don W. Searles, A. E. Wash-burn and R. B. Wheeler.Then came the convention banquet, at Hotel Whitcomb, San

Francisco, Saturday, December 31. That was the grand finale

of Pi Kappa Phi's most progressive legislative meeting. It

came New Year's Eve, a fitting time to celebrate the close of

the 1921 convention.Bro. James W. Setze, Jr., labeled on the menu cards as

colonel of the gas attackers, acted as toastmaster and he per-

formed that pleasant task in a manner characteristic. The

"carbonated gas attackers" set down on the menu were Bros.

Roy J. Heffner, J. Boyd Oliver, Henry G. Harper, Jr., L.Lawton Ellis, Richard L. Young, J. Cozby Byrd, and GeorgeE. Armstrong. Of course these were not all the speakers ofthe evening, they were simply formally arranged for the open-ing of the fireworks.What would have the meeting turned out to be without

Brother Schubiger relating his experience of his four-bit squintat the two burros at the Balanced Rock? He gave the storybut failed (slip of memory probably) to tell how the burrosacted at the sight of Brother Young.Then Bro. Billy Borland, chairman of the resolutions com-

mittee, read resolutions of appreciation adopted by the visitingdelegations, thanking Gamma Chapter and her alumni for thesplendid entertainment provided. Gamma's hospitality, inassuming the entire task of entertaining the convention, thusestablishing a precedent, was lauded.

Brothers Adrian Blume, Hugh Perry, and Karl Gibbonspoke as representatives of the new chapters. Brother Schu-biger also spoke in that capacity.In addition, other speakers from the visiting delegation and

Gamma Chapter took the floor.The banquet, engineered by Gamma, was perfect in every

detail. From the first glance at the handsome menus to thelast handful of confetti all was perfect. Then there were thePi Kappa Phi cigarettes and generous bunches of red roseson each table. After the speech-making, when the old year wason its last legs, tin horns were distributed and confetti provided.Armed to the teeth with the sound-producers and abundance ofconfetti the Pi Kapps went into the night and onto the street,there to take part in San Francisco's famous New Year's Evecarnival.Tuesday night, following the arrival of the Pi Kapps, no

definite program was arranged, but the fellows went into SanFrancisco, and piloted by Gamma brothers had somethingdefinite to do and enjoy in short order. The visitors weredivided into groups with a Gamma man in charge and greattimes were reported at breakfast the following morning.

A PEEP INTO THE CONVENTION 19

A theater party was held at an Oakland theater the followingnight. After the performance, eating places and cabarets werevisited. Friday night came the party at the house and rightroyally did the house entertain. The cabaret act, the speeches,the solos, the instrumental selections, were the bright lights onthe evening's bill. The chief attraction was the dining hallwhere "hot tamales" were served.Friday afternoon, all the brothers were loaded into auto-

mobiles and taken for a sight-seeing trip over the Universitycampus, through Berkeley, Oakland, and the Berkeley Hills.The "sky-line" ride was exceedingly interesting. The scenesalong the way were most appealing.To the minds of many, the fact that Gamma turned the house

over to the brothers attending the convention was the chieffeature of the entertainment program. The visitors had theplace. Every room in the house was occupied by delegates.Then the meals in the chapter house. Those were events thatcan not be lightly passed even though the chronicler werepossessed with such a crazy notion. Around the tables, thefellows grew to know each other. There it was that the Eastand West met; there it was that Southerner and Northernerlistened to the "line", of each other and felt the urge of fraternalfeeling.The meeting overwhelms with memories. Pleasant, profit-

able, progressive was that conclave at Berkeley. It is thestandard by which all other conventions will be gauged. Thatis an honor to the convention's splendid hosts and an honor tothe brothers who attended. The dream has been realized; theconvention has been held at Berkeley, Calif.

PI KAPPA PHI SONG BOOK PLANS 23

PI KAPPA PHI SONG BOOK PLANSBy WADE S. BOLT, Editor of the Song Book

This is merely an impromptu discussion. Last evening mymail contained a letter from Bro. Dick Young, calling for mycopy for the exchange department. In that letter informationwas also conveyed to me that it had fallen to my lot to put acrossa song book for the fraternity.While the task is not Herculean, there is much to be antici-

pated in the way of soundly applied labor. And the successof the proposition will depend purely upon the response whichis received from the ranks of the fraternity. There is many abrother who has not classed himself as a muse, who has groundout verses with good thought in them, suitable for adaptationto music with probably a slight correction here and there. Thatwe have a number of talented musicians in our group goesundisputed. The more the reason we should have a goodcollection of songs.There are two methods of putting this proposition through.

The more expensive and difficult method would be to assemblesome fifty to one hundred compositions,' catalogue, edit andplan an entire issue, and place for publication in bound bookform. This would entail quite an initial outlay, weeks andweeks of delay, and no flexibility for the future. The methodwhich most appeals to me is one which is in use by one of theleading academic fraternities, the loose leaf system.At first suggestion the loose leaf plans will not appeal, but

there are many arguments in its favor. The loose leaf binderwould be first stocked with, say ten numbers in addition to thetitle-page. This would be placed on the market at a price tocover the expense plus a slight margin of profit. The pur-chase of the original binder would entitle the holder to allfuture sheets to be issued. That is the plan followed out by theorganization to which we referred.Extra sheets would be held on file for all numbers published

and catalogued at a nominal price for use in replacement ofsoiled or torn sheets in outstanding books.

•


This plan appeals to me for the flexibility which it offers.The binders can be obtained in lots of 100 and held in stock,catalogued at a stipulated list price with other details. Wecan hold plates of all songs printed, and at the time any of theloose leaf sheets should become exhausted new issues canbe run.The entire plan will be outlined and submitted to all of the

national officers, subordinate chapters, in anticipation of aprompt reply as to preference. Meanwhile our energy will bebent toward obtaining data on the making of plates, printing,prices of binders and the like. Send your reply to our com-munication promptly.

THE WORTH OF THE CONVENTIONBy GEORGE M. GRANT

The eighth biennial convention of the Pi Kappa Phi Frater-nity is now a matter of history, but the pages of this historyshall ever be spread before us. Its worth to the fraternity asa whole can never be measured in dollars and cents. The workaccomplished will achieve its purpose and ever remain as anincentive for future conventions. More important legislationwas enacted than at any previous convention and for the firsttime many matters of importance were definitely settled. Asa matter of fact there were some things left unfinished, suchis the case at all conventions, but these will be worked out indue time.The trip going out to Berkeley can only be fully appreciated

by those making the trip with the party in the special Pullman.We were eight days on the road including stop-overs and thushad a chance to learn each other and to get fully acquaintedas only Pi Kapps can do. For those who did not know of thefraternity as a real national organization, it might be said thatby the time we had reached our destination they had imbuedthe national spirit and no longer felt that their chapters werea sort of local, but knew that they were a composite part of agreat national organization.

THE WORTH OF' THE CONVENTION 25

If the party had only remained in Berkeley as the guest ofGamma Chapter for several days and then returned withouteven attending the convention, the trip and associations wouldhave been well worth the time and expense. The expression"Once a Pi Kapp, always a Pi Kapp," has never seemed truerthan it did in this trip. After being with the bunch and learn-ing them there is no doubt, but that the expression, "A PiKapp in Florida is the same as one in New York, California orHong Kong," is as true. They are the same brand of fellows.Many of the Gamma men met brothers from the east andsouth for the first time and it was the first time that many ofthe delegates had ever met a brother from our far west chapter.We realized that after all we were the same kind of men andthat distance was not such a barrier after all. The holding ofthe convention at California achieved what perhaps would nothave been accomplished in so great a measure at any other place,namely a solidifying of the fraternity.No matter what the financial cost of the convention may be,

it will be fully repaid in the realization that Pi Kappa Phi haspassed all experimental stages and is shortly destinated to takeits place among the leading fraternities 'of the Greek world.If the representatives only carry back to their chapters thespirit of the convention they will in a large measure haveaccomplished its purpose. May this convention serve as astimulus to achieve even greater things in the future.


WHEN FOLKS CALLED PSI CHAPTER JUSTKOMOS FRATERNITY

BEING AN HISTORICAL NARRATIVE Or THE CORNELL LOCALTHAT SUCCESSPULLY PETITIONED PI KAPPA PHI -

By LEONARD STOCK, '18

Common troubles have drawn more people together, formedmore organizations than any other single agency. One hecticyear in a typical Cornell rooming house six men formed a bondof union which led to the happiest of consequences. Whathappened is an old, familiar story to most any college man:One day a cold house; the next a landlord irate over excessivetop-side festivities; perhaps no hot water on the third, and soon. The net result was the formation of a mutual admirationsociety, which decided that friendships welded under theseadverse conditions were worthy of preservation.

This was in the spring of 1916. A committee of the wholepicked for themselves and an equal number of sympatheticsouls, a habitation for the ensuing year. That house, 505Dryden Road, with the exception of interruptions due to thewar, has been the home of the organization up to this presentyear, when the larger and better appointed house at 308 ByrantAvenue was rented. A club under the name of Komos wasformed. The six instrumental in its birth were: H. L.Holstrom, '18; T. G. Knudson, '18; L. Stock, '18; 0. R.

Ostergren, '19; L. Reck, '19; and E. W. Thompson, '19. Theoutside men who came in with them as charter members were:Charles Karsten, '18; D. J. DeAndrea, '18; E. P. Jenanyan, '18;R. L. Waxham, '18 (special) ; K. C. Lauter, '20; and H.Karsten, '20. The, purpose of the organization was to obtainthe benefits of a common home, to foster a spirit of friendship,and to create a club where real men, irrespective of financialstatus, would be able to share in its privileges. To the best ofour knowledge, Cornell at that time boasted of no such clubor fraternity. Officers were elected, the presidency falling to

the able leadership of H. 14. Holstrom, '18; a pin was adoppted,constitution and by-laws drafted, and prospective memberspledged. All was going well with a bright and successfulfuture apparently close at hand, when war was declared onGermany, and the recruiting drives began. The evening ofApril 2, 1917, saw five of our members—Holstrom, Meseroll,Ostergren, Reck, and Stock—leave to ship in the navy. Thenight of their departure brought the realization to all that thebonds already formed were worthy of perpetuation. We votedto become Komos Fraternity.The college year opened with but a mere handful of members

at school. To the courage and foresight of R. L. Waxham,

who, having faith in the vitality and ideals of the year-oldKomos, personally rented the house, can safely be credited thepreservation of the fraternity. To fill the house and make bothends meet, he found it necessary to take in a number of out-siders recommended from one source or another. Here fortunefavored us, for all of these men proved highly desirable,and were initiated into membership. Under the presidencyof F. W. Thompson, '19, we succeeded not only in keepingalive, but attained a resident membership of fourteen, a,large number considering how many Komos men and Cor-nellians had left for military service. Month by month more ofcur numbers left to enlist, while the remaining membersredoubled their efforts to keep up the standards and the num-bers of a waning membership. Then came an event that was totry our spirit. Owing to the collapse of our heating system thehouse was rendered uninhabitable. We were forced to takewhatever rooms were available. The fraternity was scatteredto four rooming houses. These circumstances„ instead ofdampening the ardor of Komos, lead to a fuller realization andappreciation of the place that the fraternity had in our collegelife. Meetings were held in each house in rotation. The highidealism and untiring energy of Charles Karsten was, duringthis period, a prime factor in the carrying on of the handi-capped organization.The fall of 1918 found every Komos man but two, in the

WHEN FOLKS CALLED PSI CHAPTER Komos 29

service. These two were under eighteen years of age, waitinguntil they could enlist. Upon the start of a new college term,January, 1919, after the declaration of the Armistice, ninemembers resumed their University work. With R. R. Drake,'18, as president, a small house, 311 Elmwood Avenue, wa'srented and filled with the returning veterans. Three danceswere held, thus continuing a custom which has now become apolicy. A banquet was held at a downtown hotel; this toohas become an annual event to which a number of our alumnialways come.Four members, desiring to make up the time lost during the

war, remained for summer school. These formed a summercommittee which pledged three men and again rented 505Dryden Road, as our home for the year 1919-20. The financesof Komos were reorganized by P. H. Alfke, '18, to such goodadvantage that his system still obtains.The opening of college found Komos once more firmly on

both feet. The presidency fell to the lot of 0. R. Ostergren,'19, and we prospered with the return to "normalcy." Ourmembership swelled, we boasted three faculty members, plansfor incorporation and the establishment of a sinking fundwere laid, and, through the efforts of Walter Measday, '19,the constitution and by-laws were efficiently revised. A numberof our most popular and prominent professors came to talkto us at regular intervals on all sorts of topics, including travel,men, books, plays, music, politics, and science; and all thisled to what was most delightful to us all—general discussions.These friendly, informal, "hail-fellow-well-met" get-togethers

served to bring us into far more intimate relationship with thefaculty, and at the same time afforded them an opportunity tomeet and know the students in a way not possible by the lectureroom route.By such actions and with such men did Komos make for

itself a seemingly fixed niche in the fraternity world at Cor-nell. Komos stood the test of separation, of hard times, andeven of war. Now that Komos has become Psi Chapter of PiKappa Phi, it seems logical to believe that she will carry on in


the same spirit of stubborn persistence against all obstacles.It was good for men to have builded up from nothing anorganization of such stern stuff; it meant that that group ofmen must have had sane and lasting ideas of a fraternity'sreason for existence.

THUMBNAIL SKETCH OF CORNELLUNIVERSITY

By JOHN R. FLEMING

Had Ezra Cornell, the founder of Cornell University, beenliving 50,000 years ago, to ride the glacier that dug out CayugaLake and shaped the hills about Ithaca, the seat of CornellUniversity, he unquestionably would have called the glacier toa halt at just the point it did happen to halt, for even as farback as that he would have seen the ideal site for a university.Now, some literal-minded, crassly material instructor of physi-cal geography might frown darkly on me for so lightly, andperhdps inaccurately speaking of the glacier. However, EzraCornell, gifted as he was with a wise, far-seeing imagination,

would do naught but concur with me.Here, then, Cornell University rests, five hundred feet above

the town of Ithaca, at the end of blue Cayuga Lake, whichextends north for some thirty miles, and with an average widthof from one to two miles. Two gorges well over a hundredfeet in depth mark the northern and southern boundaries ofthe campus, which spreads over 1,500 acres, and includes fiftybuildings, more than 800 faculty members, and slightly over5,000 regular students, exclusive of the summer courses. Cor-nell and Ithaca, a city of 17,000, are in the famous FingerLakes region of New York, a fact one appreciates after view-ing the Cayuga Valley and the forest-hidden city of Ithacafrom the hill, five hundred feet above. Solid, rocky hills,strips of forest, impressive waterfalls, rude gorges, and aspir-ing creeks give the topography of the region a beauty hard toequal.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY


To adequately describe just the physical equipment of Cor-

nell would take a volume in itself; I can but mention the vast-

ness of the University, allowing the reader to fill in the gaps

by a visit here—to Psi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. Eight col-

leges and a graduate school make up the University. Students

may take degrees, then, in arts and sciences, law, medicine,

veterinary medicine, agriculture, architecture, civil engineering,

and mechanical and electrical engineering. The agricultural

and veterinary colleges are both the New York State institu-

tions. Women are admitted to all these.courses. Cornell has

1,200 co-eds, according to last reports. In founding Cornell,

Ezra Cornell expressed this desire: "I would found an institu-

tion where any person can find instruction in any study." The

story and history of Cornell, its founders, and the like is

masterfully told in the autobiography of Andrew D. White, the

first president of the university, and the man who was instru-

mental with Mr. Cornell in really making the university. Dr.

White has left a remarkable collection—practically his whole

library, in fact—in the university library, to form part of the

accumulation of 625,000 volumes in that building. It stands

third or fourth among university libraries.

Fifty fraternities and fifteen sororities of general nature

either rent or own houses at Cornell. More than forty of these

are national organizations, and many of the chapters here came

soon after the opening of the university in 1868. The sorori-

ties use and adhere strictly to their rather straight-laced rush-

ing rules; the fraternities, many of them, belong to a rushing

association, but the matter of rushing still vexes, since no

suitable organization has been formed. There is an inter-

fraternity association, but its work has been chiefly advisory in

social matters. Fraternities aided greatly in the adoption of

university honor system by the students—half of whom are non-

fraternity men—a year ago. The spirit between fraternity and

non-fraternity men has always been good, probably because

Cornell has always prided itself on being a democratic institu-

tion.In this highly inadequate panoramic view—if you can dig-

THUMBNAIL SKETCH OF CORNELL UNIVERSITY 33

nify it with the name, view—nothing has been said of thepersonnel of the faculty, which includes scholars of nationaland international distinction; no mention has been made of thepresident, Dr. Livingston Parrand, deemed by students, faculty,and townspeople alike, to be the salt of the earth, if I mayspeak colloquially; nothing has been said of the wealth oftradition surrounding the hill; again, modestly has the writer,a Cornellian, refrained from speaking of athletics, chieflybecause most folks know Cornell's reputation in football, track,cross country, crew, wrestling, and the like, all with stringenteligibility rules and honest dealing.With all its bigness, Cornell has a spirit, a unique esprit de

corps. •One western university president ascribes much of theprogressiveness of western colleges to Cornell's influences, par-ticularly in educational and democratic policies. It seems nottoo presumptuous, then, to believe Pi Kappa Phi wise in estab-lishing a chapter at Cornell.

(NOTE—Brother Setze promised to have a story on the instal-lation ceremony at Psi, but at the date of publication thematerial had not arrived. The editor is sorry of the miscar-riage in plans and thus makes an apology for the non-appear-ance of the usual installation story.)

REPORT OF EMINENT SUPREME ARCHONINTRODUCTION

In accordance with established custom of the fraternity theeminent supreme archon presents to the Supreme Chapter ofPi Kappa Phi this general report covering the affairs of. thefraternity since he took office at Charlotte, N. C., in January,1920.

It has been the aim to make the report as brief as consistent•with the proper recognition of fact and circumstance. Ourduty does not lie along the lines of reminiscence or of self-satisfaction. The command which should be our watchwordis the old one we learned in the training camps and in the

trenches—"Eyes Front." The war is over but its lessons are

vividly impressed upon us. Our battle to make a bigger and

better Pi Kappa Phi has just begun.

EXPANSION

During the past two years Pi Kappa Phi has made gratifyingprogress in adding new chapters, both active and alumni. Ithas been through the whole-hearted activities of many members.that these things have come about, and the eminent supremearchon hopes to place due credit upon those who have madesuch expansion possible. The following active chapters in theorder named have joined our ranks:Rho—Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Va.

REPORT Or EMINENT SUPREME ARCHON 35

Tau—North Carolina State College, Raleigh, N. C.Beta—Presbyterian College, Clinton, S. C. (This chapter

has returned to active membership after an enforced period ofinactivity due to anti-legislation.)

Upsilon—University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill.Phi—University of Tulsa, Tulsa, Okla.Chi—John B. Stetson University, DeLand, Fla.Psi—Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.An increase in alumni activities has resulted in the formal

chartering in the past two years of alumni chapters in:San Francisco, Calif.; Roanoke, Va. ; Spartanburg, S. C.; -

Greenville, S. C.; Omaha, Neb.The Chicago alumni are organized and are about to present

their petition. The New York alumni are expected to organizeshortly. There are alumni activities at Birmingham, as well,but no petition has been received yet. In other cities thealumni organizations are in various stages of discussion anddevelopment.The keynote of our expansion has been one of conservative,aggressiveness; or, if you prefer, one of aggressive conserva-

tism. We are aiming to establish chapters in schools of regu-larly recognized standing. On the other hand, however, wemust not rush headlong into these matters. We shall profit inthe long run by tempering our enthusiasm by just the rightreservation.

ORGANIZATION

• There is at this time a feeling—somewhat intangible perhaps,but a feeling nevertheless—that we are closer together in frater-nal spirit now than we have been in years past. There seems tobe interest and enthusiasm in the work. The present supremeofficials have co-operated to the fullest extent in carrying onthe duties of their offices, and much is due them for their sin-cerity in this regard. Our organization on paper, however,is weak. All of the officials have been operating at somewhatof a disadvantage. We have before us at this convention theproblem of simplifying and solidifying our supreme govern-ment.


INSPECTION

The eminent supreme archon spent the entire months of April

and May, 1921, in visiting all chapters of the fraternity and in

meeting practically all of the supreme officials, as well as those

of the inter-fraternity conference. The description in detail of

the results of this inspection trip would be entirely too long for

the intended scope of this report. In summary, however, it

may be said that in almost every particular of organization,

ceremony, and ritual there was a tremendous degree of diver-

gence; in fact a lamentable degree. This is true, however:

Everywhere there was eagerness to learn the proper way and

willingness to make any changes which were desirable.

One of the most startling features disclosed and one of the

most gratifying as well, was the remarkable homogenity of the

fraternity. How it has come about that Pi Kapps in all of the

chapters are so nearly alike cannot be easily explained, since

we have been woefully behind in matters of co-ordination. The

major work of this convention will be to correct the conditions

unearthed during the inspection.

SCHOLARSHIP

Our scholarship, generally speaking, is only fair.. We can

and must do much better. It is to be hoped that this conven-

tion will result in establishing a means for encouraging and

supervising the scholastic features of the fraternity.

CATALOGUE AND HISTORY

The catalogue of members decided upon anon and anon by

past conventions is still in the dream stage, for one reason and

one only: The chapters have not furnished the supreme gov-

ernment with records of their active members, let alone their

alumni. Until this has been accomplished by the filling out of

the forms supplied and given out by the supreme council last

fall there can be no catalogue. It is well that we understand

this point full.Bro. Harry Mixson, one of the founders, has promised to

write a history of the fraternity. Unfortunately, however, our

efforts to speed this up have proved futile. It is hoped that

REPORT OP EMINENT SUPREME ARCHON 37

this august gathering will see its way clear to appoint a body-guard to wait upon Brother Mixson, and to stimulate him intothe writing of the history. A good history, properly writtenand illustrated, will be the cornerstone of fraternity spirit whichwill enable every neophyte to become a true Pi Kapp.

STAR AND LAMP' Comment on THE STAR AND LAMP is hardly necessary. Itspeaks for itself, and speaks forcefully. Beyond a doubt thecurrent issues of the magazine are the best ever; and at timeswe have seen, in the past, some mighty good issues at that.The policies and problems of THE STAR AND LAMP are farfrom settled and we are to expend some of our time thereon.To the present staff and management of the magazine go thecompliments of the entire fraternity.

BUILDING PLANSAt the present time four of the chapters, according to my

records, are engaged in purchasing or building their homes,with several others contemplating such action.

ENDOWMENT FurniAt a meeting of the supreme council in Charlotte, N. C.,

last spring, Bro. James D. Carroll initiated an endowment fund,and a certain amount was subscribed at that time. This fundmust be placed upon a firm foundation and we must establishmeans for its increase and for its administration.

RITUALOur ritual is excellent in principle. Fundamentally it is right,

and it can be made good in all particulars. This is one of themost important duties which confront us.

ALUMNI

We have had too little activity among our alumni. Toomany of them have literally left their Star and their Lampat the threshold of their fraternity home. We must put on agigantic reclamation project; beginning, in.fact, with this year'sfreshmen, who some day ( with due Providence) may be alumni.


EMBLEMS AND INSIGNIA

We are lax, very lax, in observing the rules which we haveset for ourselves in the matter of insignia. We must leave

the convention with a much firmer grasp upon this phase.

CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS

The constitution and by-laws were edited, revised and dis-tributed last spring. The eminent supreme archon, in poringover these documents has come to the conclusion that a largeamount of trimming and pruning is in order. It falls to thisconvention to straighten them out.

RECOMMENDATIONS

In discussing the situations which confront the fraternity ithas been virtually impossible to avoid making recommendationsas the points come up. Accordingly, therefore, throughout thisreport are contained many portions which should properly beclassified as recommendations. Furthermore, on page four ofthe December, 1921, issue of THE STAR AND LAMP, thereappears a general statement of the recommendations which theeminent supreme archon wishes to make at this time. Theyare, therefore, hereby made a part of this report, and it isintended that reference thereto shall suffice.

CONCLUSION

In completing his term of office the eminent supreme archonwishes to take this opportunity to offer his sincere appreciationand thanks to all the members of the fraternity who have madepossible the achievements, such as they have been, of the pasttwo years. The work—for work it has been—has been a pleas-ant task, and one inspired by brotherly love rather than by anyother motive. In closing his term the eminent supreme archonfeels that the joy of the effort has more than repaid him for

the energy expended. He beseeches for his successor the samecordial support and enthusiasm which has been given him byall with whom he has come into contact. May our progressalways be toward a bigger and better Pi Kappa Phi!

REPORT OP EMINENT SUPTIL NH.; JOURNALIST 39

REPORT OF EMINENT SUPREME JOURNALISTIlonorablc Archon:I have the honor to submit the following report of the activi-

ties of the eminent supreme journalist:It has been the desire of this office to publish a magazine

that would truly represent Pi Kappa Phi, both in the Greek-letter fraternal field and in the fraternity itself. What successmay have come to the present STAR AND LAMP administrationI largely attribute to the co-operation, well wishes and actuallabor of the brothers in the chapters and among the alumnito some extent. Believing that the fraternity wanted a repre-sentative journal the elitor, immediately following his appoint-ment by the supreme council, in September, 1920, set to workon the publication of the magazine. His first step was theselection of a printer in Charlotte where the editor resides.This was done with the belief that such selection would insurehater and closer supervision of the work as the magazine wentthrough the process of being put into type. .A saving of timewas also made when needless passage of copy, proofs and otherdetail correspondence through the mails,..was eliminated.

It Was the earnest desire of the editor to issue the journalat the regular prescribed intervals and with that idea in mindthe duties of the office were assumed. The Charlotte conven-tion decreed that THE STAR AND LAMP should appear fivetimes the year, but it was found that was not the best arrange-ment and when the Supreme Chapter held a conference inCharlotte in the spring of 1921, it was decided to issue themagazine four times the school year. The magazine is nowpublished on the first of October, December, February andMay.The constitution requires that the standard size of the maga-

zine shall be.six by nine inches. This has been followed. .Thesupreme law also holds that each issue shall contain at leasteighty pages. This requirement has also been met. A standardcover design is further required by the fraternity constitution.This too has been met and the same cover has been used forall issues. The financial side of the fraternity's publication


as well as its circulation lists properly belong to the businessmanager and will be aMply covered in the report of Bro. J.Cozby Byrd.The fraternity has taken on new life and so has THE STAR

AND LAMP. With the continued co-operation of the brothersthere is no reason why the magazine should not continue toimprove and be what each man in the fraternity would like tosee it be. Let the editor take this opportunity of officiallythanking the chapters and individual brothers for their aid andassistance. Without their help progress is impossible. I makea plea for the undivided support of the management of THESTAR AND LAMP by the chapters and alumni.

Respectfully submitted,RICHARD L. YOUNG,

Eminent Supreme Journalist.

REPORT OF EMINENT SUPREME DEPUTYARCHON

Honorable Archon:

I have the honor to submit the following report:Since the last convention at Charlotte, N. C., January 1,

1920, I have been instrumental in the installation of fourchapters for Pi Kappa Phi. The first was Rho Chapter,located at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Va., onSaturday, February 21, 1920, where seven men were initiated

by a very fine ritualistic team from Xi Chapter at RoanokeCollege. Xi Chapter en masse was present,, together withBrother Wagoner, head of the Latin department at that institu-tion, who was one of the first men initiated at Alpha Chapter.There were twenty-eight men at the banquet, including CharlesM. Hazelhurst and Neveland Brand, of Kappa Chapter, theentire Xi Chapter, the new brothers of Rho Chapter and J. W.Steze, Jr., eminent supreme grapter, and H. G. Harper, Jr.,eminent supreme deputy archon, the last two named beinginstalling officers. Bro. Ben Powell, of Eta Chapter, organizedthe petitioning group.

REPORT Or EMINENT SUPREME DEPUTY ARCHON 41

The next chapter was Tau at North Carolina State College,Raleigh, N. C. Eleven men were received into the bonds, May1. 1920, the initiatory ceremonies being held in Kappa Chapter'shome at Chapel Hill, Bro. John D. Carroll, eminent supremecounselor, and the eminent supreme deputy archon were theinstalling officers. On this occasion Kappa's ritual team didthe work in excellent style. After the ceremonies, which allagreed were impressive from every angle, Tau Chapter washost at an elaborate banquet, attended by Tau and KappaChapters, Brother Carroll, his wife and the E. S. D. A.On February 5, 1921, Richard L. Young, E. S. J., J. W.

Setze, Jr.,. E. S. G., J. Lawton Ellis, Jr., E. S. T. and theE. S. D. A., revived Beta Chapter, which had been inactive fortwelve years, due to anti-fraternity regulation by collegeauthorities. Eleven names were on the charter, five havingalready been initiated, who composed the initiating team, whichbrought the other six into the light of the Star and Lamp.Brother Setze acted as toastmaster sat the very enjoyable ban-quet and every one had a chance to express his sentiments.Visitors were present from Alpha, Delta and Zeta Chapters.Pi Kappa Phi was the first national fraternity to re-enterPresbyterian College of South Carolina, although lately wehave been followed by Pi Kappa Alpha. John D. Carrollhandled all details, preceding the petition.The last chapter in which I officiated at the presentation of

the charter was Chi, at John B. Stetson University, DeLand,Fla. The work was put on May 21, 1921, by J. Lawton Ellis,Jr., E. S. T., Nathan Mobley, supreme councilman at large,Pat Reese, of Lambda Chapter, and the E. S. D. A. Theonly other fraternity at the University is Sigma Nu and therewas certainly plenty of room for an excellent chapter of PiKappa Phi. The local organization had been running since1912, under the name of Phi Beta Psi. Eighteen under-gradu-ates were initiated from ten States. On the following afternoonfifteen alumni were brought to the archon's shrine by newmembers of Chi Chapter. A very delightful banquet was givenat Sanford, Fla., twenty 'miles distant from the university.


where the wide-awake Florida State Alumni Association was

formed.All these are active and alert chapters and will bear with

honor the name and traditions of Pi Kappa Phi. All the

charter members are worthy to be called brothers of our order

and have laid the ground work for stalwart chapters in Pi

Kappa Phi. .Upon the resignation of Bro. Wade S. Bolt as eminent

supreme journalist, it was the very great privilege of this office

to recommend for this vacancy Bro. Richard L. Young, of

Charlotte, N. C. who has so admirably filled the position of

editor-in-chief, of THE STAR AND LAMP. He has been able to

receive the co-operation of the fraternity at large and has

produced a magazine of which we are very proud and which

speaks for itself.' At the time he undertook the publication of

THE STAR AND LAMP it was in a run-down condition. Previ-

ously the magazine had made its appearance at irregular inter-

vals and did not represent Pi Kappa Phi as we wished. He has

been able to overcome all obstacles and to publish a journal

worthy of our good name. I can only ask that his good begin-

ning be continued through the unstinted co-operation of each

chapter, official and alumnus, and I hereby heartily recommend

his re-election as eminent supreme journalist, in order that the

good work may be furthered.

Although the duties of this office are meager and ill-defined,

I attempted through correspondence, to cement the chapters

together and to create an esprit de corps that would insure

co-operation and assistance, necessary to advance the ideals and

principles of Pi Kappa Phi.Respectfully submitted,

HENRY G. HARPER, JR.,

Eminent Supreme Deputy Archon.

SUPREME ARCHON ANNOUNCES CHAPTER GRANTS' 43

SUPREME ARCHON ANNOUNCES CHAPTERGRANTS

It is .with much pleasure that I announce the granting ofcharters to Alumni Chapters at Omaha, Neb., Spartanburg andGreenville, S. C. These chapters will be installed shortly.The increasing evidence of activity in the fraternity is very

gratifying to all of us, and I feel that the alumni brothers whoare establishing these organizations are worthy of our highestcommendations. Let us lose no opportunity to help them inevery possible way, since through their enthusiasm and loyaltythey have shown that the love of the fraternity is still strongwithin them.

EXPRESSION TO "BOYS ON THE TRAIN""Mrs. Euclin Dalco Reeves and family deeply appreciate

your kind expression of sympathy." This engraved card wasreceived by Bro. James W. Setze, Jr., for the "boys on thetrain," who tried to remember "Ches" Reeves at the time of hisfather's death, announcement of which reached him two daysout of Atlanta. In a letter to Jimmy, "Ches" said he wishedthat it were possible for him to personally thank each brother,and he wished to express his appreciation through THE STARAND LAMP. "YOU will never know how much my mother andbrothers appreciated the kindness manifested by the fraternity,"he wrote.

DRIVER IS SUPREME ALUMNI SECRETARYBecause of the press of business, Bro. John E. Havis, who

was elected to the new position of supreme alumni secretary, atthe Berkeley convention, finds that it will be impossible to acceptthe appointment and has filed his resignation with the SupremeChapter.Bro. George D. Driver, of Nu, has been elected by the

Supreme Chapter, to take the place of Brother Havis. Brother


Driver served last year as a member of the old supreme council,being the representative from the West. He has manifestedextreme interest in the fraternity and has worked for itsadvancement.

Admirable service has been rendered the fraternity byBrother Havis. While eminent supreme historian, he per-formed a task that heretofore has gone begging for a man, whowould give the fraternity a directory. Through his efforts thedata has been collected and he writes that the material is nowready to be turned over to the printer. For that alone, hedeserves' the heartiest commendation of the fraternity. It isunreservedly given him as he leaves the ranks of supremeofficials.

Co-operation on the part of Pi Kapps given to Brother Havisis asked for the new official. He has just as important duties toper form and he, too, deserves the best that Pi Kapps every-where can give.

SIMMS IN ACCIDENT

Caught between two street cars near the campus at EmoryUniversity, B. P. Simms, a pledge of Eta Chapter, was a victimof a distressing accident, his eighteenth birthday, January 4.His left leg was so severly crushed that it was necessary toamputate. For many days he lingered between life and deathand at one time hope was practically abandoned for his recov-ery. Blood transfusion was used in the hope of saving his life.Brothers of the fraternity and outside friends volunteered andgave their blood. From the latest reports, he was muchimproved and it is almost sure now that he will withstand theordeal."B. F.," as he is known on the Emory campus, is a big,

athletic, friendly, hearted boy. He is popular on the campusand is a leader in the freshman class. He is from Roanoke, Ala.

SEEN AND HEARD ON THE TRIP 45

SEEN AND HEARD ON THE TRIPBy THE STAR AND LAMP WATCHDOG

Fifth floor, Stock Exchange Building, Kansas City. Apretty girl is seen standing at the elevator gate. The lift isloaded with Pi }(apps. They beckon for the young damsel toenter. "Going down?" she queries. "Come on in," say the PiKapps. The man at the lever says not a word. With a scorn-ful look she turns to the operator. This time he says, "Goingup." "Well, why don't you say so?" Yet she can't help butlaugh. Of course, that bunch of Pi Kapps guffawed.

Sun-Maid raisins and California figs, right from the valley,were presented to the fellows on the train at Fresno, Calif.Bro. F. M. F. Nottage, of Gamma Chapter, boarded the trainand left a package, that could hardly be gotten through thegangway. He brought it, he said, to show the fellows whatgrew in California. His was the splendid Pi Kapp spirit, thatspirit so admirably displayed by Gamma. The hearty thanksof every man on the train is again presented.

Billy Borland—"Here, N. C. State, give me 'them" heavies."

Henry Harper had specific instructions from the "hard-boiled" official in Charlotte not to hang those signs on thesides of the perfectly good Pullman car. Now, Henry hadengineered that contract and had spent $20 of the fraternity'smoney and he was not to be out-witted. He finally got theconsent of the Pullman chief to put the sign on one side beforethe train left Charlotte in order that the brothers from ,thenorth might be able to locate the Pi Kapp special. But beforethe train left, said Pullman guy began taking down the sign.

Before the smoke from the engine gets back to our car, asthe train pulls out of Charlotte, McGill is "checking." Heafterwards said he made special arrangements for the littlelady at the "school on the hill" to be on that train. She wasplanning a trip to her home in Florida for the day before and


"Mac" asked her to wait another day. She did. And she was

a little brick, for she manned one of the windows in the first

expedition of sign-hanging.

In the station at Kansas City, McGill introduces a K A

and all the dear little Pi Kapps try to give him the grip. It

was "Mac's" fault and when the train got under way that night

• Billy Bolling threatened to aterminate him, if he pulled

another stunt without making the gent's identity perfectly

clear.

Hugh Perry takes up most of Henry Harper's time in Kansas

City in getting a ticket.

In the Old Maid's room, Cave of the Winds. The party is

standing before the mammoth pile of hair-pins lett by bachelor

girls with the hope of reward. Billy Boning exclaims, "If

that many old maids have seen this joint, how many folks have

been here?"

The party is gazing at the stock yards from a window in the

Stock Exchange Building, Kansas City. The man is explaining

the lay of the land below, which is divided into innumerable

stalls. All kinds of cattle are seen. Varnadoe : "Mister, do

they kill the black ones?"

Then McLean comes along with another of equal import-

ance: "Do they put the cows to bed at night ?"

Schubiger perched on the radiator looking out Of the window.

Same pastoral scene enacted every morning.

The burning question: What did George Scheetz do with

the playing cards?

And Jimmy Setze wanted to pay for the picture books. Now

wasn't that just like Jimmy?


Cozy Byrd, with his camera swung across his left shoulderenters the scene at Kansas City. He and that camera figureprominently thereafter. He was like Banquo's ghost.

"You boys stacked cards on me," quoth Preacher Dendy, ashe shifted his Greek Bible from his right hand in order thathe might make room for a Queen.

Balanced Rock, two burros and Schubiger. Enough said.Vital details suppressed by interested persons. And still theytalk of freedom of the press.

Jack Rogers slips and falls in the snow on one of Denver'scrowded thoroughfares. Two swell dames see and laugh andHenry Harper and Hugh Perry think they are one, but, alasand alack.

What was the matter with Dick Young's heart at TennesseePass, 10,000 feet above sea level? High altitude? HenryHarper says not.

At the end of the sight-seeing trip in Denver. In the snowin front of the Y. M. C. A. six Pi Kapps try to find outwhy the driver has only five dollars. In his haste to get awayByrd leaves his camera in the car. Get the hint?

How many know how Cozby Byrd spent the afternoon inPasadena, while the football classic of the year was beingfought out at Tournament Park? By a clever piece of newssluething all details were gathered. He hired a taxi and roamedall over town taking pictures of houses. All right, warden,here he is; he's yours.

"Box seats, two bits." Sure, orange crates. Henry Harperwas able to arrange a special price for the entire delegation,which saw the famous "Tournament of Roses" from the curb'spoint of vantage.

Cozby Byrd and party charter special freight train in Burnamyards, Denver, at midnight for two bits. Can you beat it?

"What's the pass-word ?" George "Pullman" answers,"Mexico." On the return George announces that the word hasbeen changed to "New Mexico."

"Uncle Harry"—How can we forget him. He gave us ourofficial song and satisfied our every want. Prince of fellowswas he.

"Lost in the Snow." Latest tragedy, scene laid in ColoradoSprings, late at night, with Frank Cumbee as leading actor.

George Scheetz with his feet stretched far into the dancingspace, reserved for the cabaret performers. George didn't care,it was the night of the alumni banquet at Tait's, San Francisco.

Henry Harper had longed to see Chinatown. He was therebut he didn't see a bloomin' thing.

Chester Reeves and Cozby Byrd compete for the Croix deGuerre in the sight-seeing bus that night after the party atTait's. Who won? Tied.

Why did Sid Harper make so many trips out of the banquethall during the banquet at Hotel Whitcomb?

Clever ruse John Barnett pulled in getting two dinners at theEl Tovar, Grand Canyon.

What became of Frank Cumbee's gray sweater? Ask BrightEyes, who'had to change cars just out of New Orleans.

The "Pig-Iron Lady" enters the car when the conductor isn'tlooking. She is as welcome as small-pox among a crowd ofbathing beauties.


Say, weren't you glad when the special pulled into Berkeley?Roy Heffner's grinning countenance was the first to smear thelandscape.

Orvin Gaston went ahead of the car going out. He made upfor it at Tait's, all right, all right.

Irwin Pickens was quick to repent. He made open con-fession to THE STAR AND LAMP representative down at thePerry Building.

Crossing the bay on the ferry. J. Litts on deck, enjoyingthe sights, has his thoughts distracted by McGill's talk. J.Lifts believes in preparedness and before the ferry docked, hehas a batch of Pi Kapp addresses.

Jimmy finall became a victim. Jimmy said she was natty inthat golf outfit of short trousers.

George Grant said the reason the railway track was socrooked in New Mexico was that they followed the trail of thecivil engineer, who was chased by a bear.

THE CORRECT WAYHow's Yours

THE STAR AND LAMP

The editor of Thc Journal of Acacia brought forth in hisinitial editorial in the November issue of The Journal, thefollowing argument of the proper function of the magazine:

ACHIEVES PROPER SPHEREWith the rapid development of the chapter publication as a compre-

hensive Acacia institution, the Journal is able to develop itself within itsproper sphere more thoroughly this year than has heretofore been possible.So long as many chapters did not have their own publications, it was

necessary for the fraternity's magazine to perform such publications'task of furnishing to the alumni that type of news and material whichwe will call "local," for want of a better title. But the dispensing of"local" news is not the function of the national magazine.

Rather indeed the Journal should give to its readers the "telegraph"news of the fraternity. News of routine activities within the chapter,while of real and vital interest to the alumni of that chapter, rarelyhas an appeal beyond the chapter circle. The material appearing in theJournal must appeal to all members of the fraternity alike.This issue of our magazine tries, for the first time, to be distinctly

and entirely the organ of the whole fraternity, and not the conglomeratecollection of the organs of each chaptee. One of the mechanical devicesused to accomplish this end has been the abolition of the chapter letter,that high sounding and often meaningless assembly of boasts about "themost successful year in the history of the chapter" either just past orabout to materialize.

Many chapters of the various fraternities have adopted chap-ter publications for the dissemination of the news of localcolor and interest. Several of our own chapters follow thatplan. If all could adopt the system, it certainly would lessenthe burdens of the editor in compiling his magazine.

Sigma Pi held its eighth convocation at Vincennes, Ind., inDecember. Sigma Pi was founded at Vincennes University in

ing: "Anything that you can do to help the young fraterni-ties nationally will also help to solve many of your problemslocally.—Dean Warnock."Sigma Chi has established a new chapter at Emory.Delt Tau Delta boasts of the arrival of twins: At Georgia

Tech and North Carolina. At both points Pi Kappa Phi meetswith the new chapters.Kappa Sigma has entered its Delta Gamma Chapter at the

University of Wyoming.Theta Chi has added another chapter to its increasing mid-

west group, Alpha Lambda Chapter at Ohio State.Delta Tau Delta may proudly lay claim to two national

officials: Col. Charles B. Warren, United States Ambassadorto Japan, and Frank White, Treasurer of the United States.These are but two of the most recent additions to a large listof Delta Tau celebrities.The famous Baird Library, honored and cherished by Beta

INTERFRATERNITY CONFERENCE

By JAMES W. SETZE, JR.

To attempt to cover in detail all of the happenings of theconference would be a task that should be left to the minutes.This article will solely tell you of the more important happen-ings and just how they should effect us as individuals and as anorganization.The acts of the conference, as you know, are not binding.

They are, however, discussed very thoroughly by very ablefraternity men and are never passed unless it is felt by thedelegates that they would benefit the fraternity world at large.As an organization we have always attempted to use the actsof the conference and to abide by them in all cases. This istrue of most of the members of the conference, but I wonderif the individual members of the various fraternities are follow-ing the suggestions made by the conference as closely as theyshould.We (I mean all fraternity men), will never be able to live

down some of the prejudice of anti-fraternity men as long aswe do things that will give them cause to criticise us. It seemsto me that it should not be necessary for the natinoal organiza-tion to adopt regulations prohibiting membership in o calledfraternities that stand for everything that anti-fraternity peoplelike to think fraternities stand for. Just so long as we allow•these imposters to parade themselves as fraternities before thepublic just so much longer will it take us to gain' the ground weloose by it. I feel that all that should be necessary when anundesirable organization makes its appearanc,e is for thenational government to suggest that the organization should beavoided by their men.The conference went on record as being opposed to Kappa

Beta Phi and again stressed the evils of Theta Nu Epsilon. Isit necessary for me to bring before our Supreme Chapter thisnew organization which is so detrimental to all fraternitieswith the request that we prohibit membership in it as we alreadydo in T N E? Or rather should not the course be a circular

INTERVRATERNITY CONFERENCE 59

letter to all chapters telling of this new organization and whatit stands for? Leaving the staying out to the better judgmentof our men. And realizing that if Our men really thought thematter over that they would, under no circumstances considermembership in such an organization.

Fraternity men must realize that when they wear the emblemof their organization that they are no longer individuals butrepresentatives of the entire fraternity system. And furtherthat an organization is judged by the worst people in it ratherthan by the best. Then can't we begin now and do only thosethings that will reflect credit on the fraternity system insteadof allowing some little thing to get by that will cause morecriticism than we will ever be able to explain. Why can't we,as fraternity men, do only those thing that will cause favorablecriticism and get fraternities off the defensive. We wouldnot have existed for more than half a century if there was notsome good in us. Then why can't we show the world this goodinstead of keeping it to ourselves. We must first start bycleaning out all undesirable organizations that cause so muchill feeling toward fraternities instead of flocking to them andpushing them ahead by joining them.The work of the conference, that struck me as being of next

importance was in regulating membership. Up to the presenttime there were no set regulations regarding membership andjustly so, for the conference had to first show its real worth tothe fraternity world before it could regulate membership. Butsince that it had gone far beyond the experimental stage it wastime to act. Among other things necessary to membership is aregulation about owned and rented chapter houses. It is asettled fact that to accomplish that a fraternity should accomp-lish it should have a large majority of its chapters in houses.The discussion on limiting the amount to be invested in a

house by individual chapters was very interesting and vital.We can not expect our men to develop into the real democraticmen of today that we would like them to be if we house themin mansions during their college life. Don't misunderstand me.I feel that we should spend a reasonable amount on our houses


and that they should not only present a good appearance fromthe outside, but be well equipped and fitted up on the inside.There is a limit to all things, however, and we can certainly gotoo far. Another side too, is that college men go to work fornominal salaries their first• year or two out and to keep themin too handsome quarters during their school life would causeno end of dissatisfaction when they first leave school.The magazine editors came in for their special dinner, which

was under the supervision of Frank Rogers of Delta Tau Delta.Here the trials of the editors are cussed and discussed and theyare many and weighty too. Plans for getting in chapter letters,articles and anything that will make your magazine what youwant it to be were considered. In fact the dinner usually turnsinto an open forum and everybody tells everybody else justhow his chapters do or don't do certain things. Generally aworld of good ideas are obtained from this source and help agreat deal, but the thought that runs in my mind is, will weever reach that stage where the chapters won't have to be madeto do things, but will do them just because it is right that theyshould be done.I have only told you of one or two things that were very

important from my view point. I have also attempted to showyou just how valuable the suggestions made by the conferenceare; how closely you should follow them. Just one more ques-tion and I am done. When an organization as large as all thegeneral fraternities in the United States says that we shouldnot support, but rather tend to eliminate an organization than,insofar as the members of the conference are concerned, thatorganization is going. The thing_that sticks in my mind is whydo the individual members fail to recognize the damage suchorganizations do and join them. And wait until they are toldthat the national organization will not tolerate their membershipin them. What I want to ask you to do is not wait to be toldthat Kappa Beta Phi and other kindred organizations are bad,but recognize it from their own teachings and leave them alone—don't wait to be told.

ALPHA CHAPTERArchon, G. E. Scheetz Secretary, J. H. McLeodChapter Room, 303 Dime Bank Building, Charleston, S. C.

Active Members, 13

Dear Brothers:

The convention of 1921 is over and Pi Kappa Phi mustsettle down again to working for still better chapters.We were, first of all, as we feel sure all other Pi Kapps

were, extremely well pleased to learn the results of the electionof new officers, and it takes no great prophet to predict thatwith such men again at its head Pi Kappa Phi's ideals willcontinue as high as its Star, and as bright as its Lamp.From what Brother Scheetz has told us, and from the

pictures he brought back with him, we know that the conventiontrip must have been everything that it was expected to be, andindeed far more. We only regret that it could not have been awhole train full of Pi Kapps—the coaches all named "Sal-phrona," if you like.For a long time Alpha has wanted a house, and has discussed

the prospects many times, without avail. But since we'vegotten the convention dope on the house situation, and in viewof our own need for some such way of seeing more of eachother, we're trying hard now to take up an extra hitch in ourtrousers, so to speak, and get after that thing for business.If there is any way we can work out the problem, we are goingto undertake it. If any of the chapters with successful experi-ence in this regard will drop us a line of suggestions we will lie

62 THIS STAR AND LAMP

grateful. And we are going after the alumni secretary fordope, too. We have thirteen active men and are located in theheart of a city of unreasonable real estate prices. But here'shoping.We heartily approve of all the convention legislation of

which we have heard, and are looking forward to receivingthe full minutes and copies of the new laws and ritual.And from all we have been able to learn of the convention,

we must extend our congratulations to Gamma for the wayit was handled, and this includes the Gamma alumni. Theydelivered the goods (except Cozby Byrd's three gallons ofsherry). That is what expected, of course, but apparentlythey went way ahead of anything that could have been expected.When some twenty-four men have travelled across the con-tinent, and have been on the train for over a week, it followsthat they must have a royal good time not to have the minutesdrag occasionally, even in a city like San Francisco. But noone could ever have had such a feeling in California, andagain we say that Gamma's got the "stuff."

It may be noticed that our number has increased to thirteensince our last letter, and we must report that Bro. Walter Allenhas again returned to college and restored himself to the frater-nal fold.With best greetings to all men of Pi Kappa Phi.

Dear Brothers:We have only nine active members but every one returned

after the holidays. Our spirit is the very best. At present weare in the midst of examinations and we all have our mindscentered on "books."We have no new brothers to introduce this time as we are

not permitted to extend bids until after the first semester.

CHAPTER LETTERS 63

There is some excellent material in the freshman class and ourprospects are very bright indeed. We will make the intro-ductions in our next letter.

Brother Dendy returned from the convention last week verymuch pleased with the outcome of it. We are all pleased withthe report that he made and our only regret is that we allcouldn't go, too. We are glad that the next one is going tobe held closer and we are all making plans now to be rightthere.

Just before Christmas we refurnished our rooms, whichadded wonderfully to their looks. Soon after we gave a partywhich proved to be a big success. We had about fifteen fresh-men and their "fair ones." A large number of our alumniwere also present. A delicious salad course was served andpunch was "handy" all during the evening. We didn't have"nothin' else" but a big time.We have a large number of alumni in town and we all unite

once a month and have a "stag" banquet. This is our bestway of getting our alumni and active members together and itcertainly is a success.On the football field we were represerited by Brother Hind-

man, quarterback, and Brother Brimm, fullback. They bothplayed good ball the whole season. Brother Brimm is also anold varsity man on the basket-ball court. We are expectinggreat things from him this season.In closing Beta wishes to every Pi Kapp the best of luck.

Chapter House, 2614 Dwight Way, Berkeley, Calif.Archon, Ferlys W. Thomas Secretary, John 0. Blair

Active Members, 33 Alumni, 136Brother Pi Kapps, Greetings:Once more 'Gamma has settled down to "grind"—that is,

the spring semester opened January 9, and most of the boysare carrying books around with them in their wanderings


around the campus, but as a matter of fact, Gamma is still inmuch the same frame of mind as was the "Connecticut Yankee"when he came to his senses after his mythical sojourn in KingArthur's Court. Gamma has just awakened to the realizationthat our long talked of Pi Kapp convention is a thing of thepast.

It is past in the concrete, but not in memory or in spirit.Brothers, that convention was the biggest and best thing thathas ever happened to Gamma. Where before we were all aloneout here, our only tangible connection with our sister chapters,with the exception of Roy Heffner, S. A., of whom we arejustly proud, being our correspondence with the Supreme Chap-ter and the issues of THE STAR AND LAMP, we now realize inthe fullest extent that we are members of a great nationalorganization of picked men—red-blooded men, not only imbuedwith the ideals of the highest order, but, what is more, living upto them.Those four days which we all spent together here in Berkeley

mean more to the fraternity as a whole and to Gamma inparticular than is apparent upon the surface, for bonds offriendship were made then that will never be broken, no matterhow far apart we may drift in after life.Gamma is justly proud of the honor conferred upon her

by her sister chapters in holding the convention here in Berke-ley, and every man is sorry that we could not meet each, andevery one of you as well as just the chosen few.Our first formal meeting was held Monday night, January 9,

at which time the new officers were formally installed as fol-lows Ferlys W. Thomas, archon; J. Lester Erickson, vice-archon; John 0. Blair, secretary; Lorenzo A. McHenry, treas-urer; Wesley A. Talley, alumni secretary; Brownley Perkins,chaplain; and John B. Gregory, warden.

In athletics, things look bright for us this semester. PaulBoren is with us again and is a cinch for the varsity in thebroad jump, having taken first place easily in last year's freshmeeting. Phil McCoombs, who took second in the same meet.is also stepping out a few over the sawdust pit. Sandy Fish,

CHAPTER LETTERS 65

a last year's varsity man, is again going out for the pole vault.

Ray Kern in the javelin, and discus and "Perk" Perkins in the

440, are promising. There is only one sore spot and that is

the fact that, as yet, "Duke" Welch, who ran the high sticks

for the fresh last year, taking second place, has failed to come

back with us. However, we hope to see him in the near future.

Bro. John Connolly, who made an enviable record last semes-

ter as business manager of the "Cal" Pictorial, is again at the

helm of that publication's finances. "Mort" Morgan is an .

associate manager of the '23 Blue and Gold, while Jack Gregory

( Napoleon) is fighting hard for the position of manager in

1923. Phil McCoombs and "Bud" Rea are working on the staff

of the Daily Californian. Bro. Les Erickson is a member of

the senior peace committee.Taking all in all, Gamma has a very busy and promising

semester ahead of her and with added strength and support of

our newly organized alumni chapter, we feel confident of suc-

cess in every venture.Wishing all Pi Kapps a belated but sincere happy new year,

and the best of luck in the coming year, I am,WESLEY A. TAtLEY, Correspondent.

next convention. As Atlanta is much closer than Berkeley, I

am sure all of us will be there.With mid-year exams so close on us social matters are some-

what at a standstill at the present. The inter-fraternity Christ-

mas banquet was a great success. There were between ninety

and one hundred men present, including pledges and members

of the two locals on the campus. This function was estab-

lished last year by Bro. D. L. (Flip) Harper, then president of

the Pan-Hellenic Council, and does • much to promote good

feeling between the fraternities.In closing I wish to say that Zeta is entirely pleased with

the changes and developments put through at the convention.

We are behind the supreme officials in what ever they see fit

to do.ED NASH, Correspondent.

Greetings for the New Year:

The opening of the second quarter found all but five of us

back at our posts. Of these, Bro. R. T. Overstreet is taking a

graduate course at the University of Chicago; Bro. Elton

Weaver is working at Fitzgerald; Bro. E. H. Rape is working

in Birmingham, Ala.; Bro. E. D. Reeves is at home on account

of the recent death of his father; Bro. Sidney Stevens has not

been heard from as yet. Bro. Chelcie G. Arant returned to us

from Yale where he had been during the fall quarter. Like-

wise, we were glad to welcome Robt. A. Fluornoy, one of our

most promising pledges, who had been away almost since the

beginning of the year.

CHAPTER LETTERS 67

Last Saturday night we held our initiation, taking into thefold of Pi Kappa Phi the following freshmen: William Belcher,Roanoke, Ala.; Joe Graham, Fort Valley, Ga.; William D.Hughes, Cordele, Ga.; Norman Newsom, Tampa, Fla.; Ray-mond Nixon, Tampa, Fla.; Eldredge B. Powell, Fitzgerald,Ga. These are all men to be proud of and are worthy additionsto Pi Kappa Phi. Likewise, let me introduce to all Pi Kapps

Bro. Webb H. Vermilya, Atlanta, Ga., of the School of Law,

who was initiated November 10.The imposing looking building that we can see from the porch

of our chapter house is the nearly completed main building of

our three million dollar Wesley Memorial Hospital. It is oneof the most modern in the United States, being six stories,including the basement, and containing three operating rooms.It is so planned that the sun enters every room. Its size canbe judged from the fact that it has over a thousand doors.There are to be eight more buildings, and work has alreadystarted on the nurses' dormitory and on the Candler Memorial

Maternity Hospital. Judging by the building activities on thecampus, the day of "Greater Emory" is well upon us. Eta is

ready and well able to do her part.During the latter half of the fall term the Emory Glee Club,

of which Bro. Raymond Nixon is a prominent member, made atour of Florida, stopping at Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, andother places of importance.

Marshal Foch made us a short address Decetnber 9, at ournew station which was strikingly decorated with the banners of'the two countries. Although the Marshal spoke in French,and therefore over the head of most of us, the huge crowddispersed apparently satsified as he entered the coach and thelong train pulled out.We welcome the wise changes brought about at the last

convention, of which Bro. Jack Rogers has been kept busy tell-ing us. All of its are ready and anxious to work for the greaterPi Kappa Phi which is not far distant, according to Jack, andto the belief of all of us for that matter.

Now that the holidays have passed, and with them a mostsuccessful convention, every one in the chapter is getting downto business for the first term exams, which begin the last weekof January. That being the case, study and back lot work areuppermost in our minds and actions.However, we have not been too busy to listen to the dele-

gates tell the minutest details of the convention, and to envypleasures they enjoyed.

Although it is rather ancient history, we hardly feel likepassing entirely over the successful season our football teamhad. One defeat is not a bad record, we should say. Basket-ball holds the limelight now, and Tech has prospects for avery good team. It might be mentioned that Iota's basket-ballteam is organizing, with good material.Due to the fact that no freshman was allowed to be initiated

into a fraternity, who had not passed three-fourths of his'workfor the first three months, we were unable to initiate any menuntil December 18. On that night, however, we initiated C. T.Hill, J. L. Knight, J. H. Lynn, and H. A. McKew. We hadthe pleasure of having Brother Setze, E. S. G., present, andhe made the chapter a most timely and interesting talk.January 13, we held our election of officers for the second

term, the following men being elected to the offices indicated:Archon, A. J. Little; secretary, J. H. Barnett; treasurer, F.

E. Whitelaw; histornian, E. R. Atchison; chaplain, R. C. Wat-kins; warden, H. A. McKen.These men will assume their offices at the meeting January

20.We wish, in behalf of the chapter, to welcome the new

national officers, and to assure them of Iota's co-operation inall their undertakings. And to those officers whose terms end,we express our appreciation of work well done.

KAPPA CHAPTER

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Ni C.Archon, W. F. Falls Secretary, P. H. Edwards

Dear Brothers:

"Grady Pritchard, for three years a tower of strength in theCarolina line, and during the past season the outstanding lines-man of the State, was elected captain of the 1922 football team,while en route to Chapel Hill from the Florida game," saysthe Carolina Tar Heel. Brother Pritchard's honor adds anotherlaurel to the athletic history of Kappa Chapter, he being thefourth varsity captain to come from this chapter in the pasttwelve months. We pont with pride to Brother. Pritchard—like another famous linesman of Carolina's, Beemer Harrell,whose outstanding work added another varsity captain to Kap-pa's credit. We believe that Brother Pritchard will be the greatleader of one of Carolina's greatest elevens.

Other distinctive honors that have come to members ofKappa are the recent elections of Brother McLean as vice-president of the athletic association, and of Bro. PrestonEdwards as assistant ball manager of the Easter dances.The Carolina Playmakers, producer l of folk-plays at the

university, are touring the State this month under the directionof Prof. F. H. Koch of the University English Department.Professor Koch has for his manager, Bro. George V. Denny,who besides managing the playmakers, plays leading rolesopposite Miss Mary Trail Yellot, much admired and belovedfriend of Brother Denny's—as well as of all the rest of us.Kappa wishes to announce that Minton E. Fetter of Greens-

boro, N. C., and member of the present sophomore class at theuniversity, was initiated into Kappa Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi,January 9, 1922.The returns from the convention make us realize that Pi

Kappa Phi is going strong, but that as yet we have not reachedtop speed. It is too bad that every member of our fraternitycould not be present at the convention, for such a meetingwould have given a wonderful impetus to the spirit of ourorganization. As it is, we have all heard reports from our


representatives, and it is for us to realize that each chapteris as strong as its weakest member, and that each member ofthe national organization is responsible for the standing andgrowth of. the fraternity. Even to an old member of thefraternity, who realizes the worth of our organizatibn, evento such a man as that the convention was a revelation. JoeMcLean was Kappa's representative to the convention, and hecame back to us with a quiet enthusiasm that has been in partconveyed to each one of us. He has told us about the con-vention, and about his stay in Berkeley, and we can all agreewith Brother McLean that the convention was very successful,and that Gamma Chapter boys are the best of entertainers.Kappa sends her best regards to the other chapters.

Pi Kapps, Everywhere—New Year's Greetings:Lambda returned to school, after the brief period of Christ-

mas holidays, with a pep and determination which can not bebeaten. The spirit of the new year was well demonstrated bya potent freshman who on returning greeted the boys by yell-ing: "Boys, my new years' resolution is to pass physics."If the reader could know how difficult it is to pass a course inphysics here he would realize the courage of this freshman.The new year resolution of the chapter is to accomplish all thethings which we failed in during 1921, and to be more success-ful in our initiative work of 1922.The resolution was not merely a "conscience soothing expres-

sion" either. Its sincerity has been well demonstrated by alarge number of boys trying out for college honors in theliterary field. January and February is the period here forcontests in class debates, orations and declamations. Last yearwe had a representative on each of freshman debate, sophomore

CHAPTER LETTERS 71

debate, champion debate and sophomore deClamation. It is

anticipated that the ensuing year will be even a greater success.

Our representative to the national convention, H. D. Griffin,

has returned with some very interesting and helpful reports.

He announces the convention as being a thorough success and

one of far-reaching results. With these new suggestions direct

from "headquarters," Lambda is going to try and make this

the greatest year of her history. The writer believes that it is

the duty of every chapter to become more interested in the

results of our national conventions. We should put into effect

more completely the suggestions and new legislation developed

by the convention. There are many benefits to be derived from

these mutual gatherings, if we would only take advantage of

them.It will be interesting to all Pi Kapps to learn that one of our

brothers, E. W. Highsmith, a graduate of "Georgia" in 1921,

has successfully competed for the "Rhodes Scholarship" here.

This is the highest honor that can be bestowed on a college

graduate and indeed is a privilege. Only a man of noble

character and sterling qualities can attain this honor. E. W.Highsmith is a man of whom Lambda ChaPter is proud.

Through his winsome personality, his mental ability and his

tireless energy he has made for himself and for Pi Kappa Phi

a record at the university which is perpetual. He took his

A.B. Degree with highest honors last June, and contemplated

taking law here this year. However, the winning of "Rhodes

Scholarship" gave him greater opportunities. Highsmith will

leave for England next August where he will enter Oxford in

September.Lambda held her annual banquet Saturday, January 14, at

the Georgia Hotel. This banquet is usually held on January

19 of each year, the date Lambda was founded. However, this

year it was moved up a few days because of other previously

announced college activities on the 19th. Several prominent

alumni from over the State were present and enjoyed a delight-ful dinner with the active members. The entire evening was

one of pleasure and display of real fraternal spirit. The last


thirty minutes of the evening was devoted to business, atwhich time the newly elected officers were given an opportunityto make their formal "speech." Our new archon, J. L. Mer-rett, is the oldest man in the chapter and is capable of leadinghis brothers to higher standards.In closing we will say that Lambda wishes all Pi Kapps a

most successful year in 1922.Fraternally yours,

Dear Brothers:

As the end of a semester draws near, we are looking.forwardwith a great amount of hope and anticipation that we shall besuccessful with our examinations. We have eight active mem-bers and seven pledges, and we feel confident that we areholding our own against the rest of the fraternities.There are still a few freshmen on the park who are good

fraternity material and these may be pledged later. Our lastfreshman lo be pledged is Sloane Payne of Taylorsville, N. C.Payne is a "whiffenpoofen" among the ladies, and as a dancer,he would make Saint Vitus hide his face in shame. I mightadd here, that aside from being an all-round good fellow, heis going to do well along scholastic lines.

Brother "Billy" Borland has returned to us after a longabsence. We are very glad indeed to have "Bill" with usagain; he was our representative to the Pi Kapp convention.He has told us of the many interesting and amusing thingswhich happened while enroute to the convention. Especiallydid he mention the beauties of the Pacific coast and the sceneryof the Grand Canyon. However, he came back safe and sane,which is all that we could ask.

After the examinations are over, we expect to hold ourspring initiation. Those freshmen who have passed the required

CHAPTER LETTERS 73

amount of work will be put through the "mill" that will make

of them true Pi Kapps. Unless the unforseen. happens, we

shall initiate seven men and we shall be delighted to have any

of our brothers come over and take part in the ceremony. We

are always glad to have fellows visit us from other chapters.

We were recently favored with a visit from Bro. Kenneth

M. Brim. "K" is at present practising law in Greensboro. Hewas an active member of Mu Chapter last year, and was man-

ager of basket-ball here for two years. We wish Brother Brim

the greatest of success, and trust that we may again be favored

by a visit in the near future.The fraternity is making very marked progress and we are

filled with the enthusiasm and spirit of Pi Kappa Phi. All of

us are having a good time and are working continually for the

best interests of the fraternity.Fraternally,

NU CHAPTER

University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Neb.

Dear Brothers:

Things at Nu are on the boom and most all of the boys

survived the examination and "seem to be ready for another

for the second semester. Ralph Ford, archon, '22; Harry E.

Stevens, secretary, '22; Herman Weigel, warden, '24; Charles

Adams, historian, '24; Sutton Morse, chaplain, '24; William

Simpson, treasurer; and Orvin Gaston was re-elected as the

inter-fraternity representative.William Simpson one of our noted brothers has been elected

to the president's job in the Pharmaceutical Society and it is

considered the biggest job in the Pharmacy College. Thesociety is organized to promote closer relations between thefaculty and students as well as for social purposes. Pharmacyweek is promoted by the society and its purpose is to show the

people of the State what is taught in the school as well as toshow how present day medicines are prepared. Also Brother


Gaston has been elected as editor-in-chief of the Daily Nebras-kan, the college paper, and that is one of the biggest jobs onthe campus.Nu Chapter. is going to have probation next week and the

following men will be initiated into the fraternity:Wilbur Wehmiller, Clarinda, Iowa; Dean MacMillan, Genoa,

Neb.; Ed Geistfelt, Washington, Kan.; Paul Stitzel, Madison,S. D.; Keith Catchpole, Morrill, Neb.; Eldon and MontfordKiffin, Lincoln, Neb.; Reed Tracy, Lincoln, Neb.

Also the following fellows were pledges and are back inschools for next semester:

Neil Morse, University Place, Neb.; Bob Elmen, Lincoln,Neb.; Frank Smith, Broken Bow, Neb.Nu Chapters has a team out for basket-ball and we are going

out with more determination than ever to bring home the inter-fraternity championship. Verne Thomas is coaching the teamand is having much trouble deciding the five best men as all areeager for a berth, anyway here's hoping. Fred Sturms, an oldbasket-ball star, has re-entered school and promises to be agreat addition to the squad.

Bro. William L. Simpson was initiated into Kappa Psi, hon-orary fraternity. Also pledges Geistfelt and MacMillian are tobe initiated next semester. •

CHAPTER, LETTERS 75

prevailed and succeeding in instilling it in our chapter. Wealso note with a great deal of pleasure the selection of thesupreme officers and sincerely believe that the guidance of ourfraternity could not be in better hands. Let every Pi Kappgive his most hearty co-operation which is absolutely essentialfor the betterment of our fraternity. We are putting forth

every effort to have our chapter and alumni up-to-date in carry-ing out the changes made.

Since our last letter the rushing season has closed and wehave pledged four of the most promising men in the freshmanclass, two of whom have been initiated. The initiates are C.Vincent Heck and Richard Crockett; our pledges are DonaldConk and D. M. Zea.Heck, better known as "Slats," hails from Bluefield, W. Va.

He has already proved himself a leader in his class, in socialas well as academic activities.

Crockett comes from Dublin, and has all the characteristicsof a southwest Virginian. He is living up to the S. W. Clubmotto, namely: "Ducemus alii sequantus." Dick has made

himself famous by his ability as a saxophone player.Conk and Zea are considered two ofthe best all-round men

in the student body. Don won his "R" as fullback on thevarsity this year and has recently been elected captain of the"Maroons" for the coming season. Zea entered Roanoke fromAugusta Military Academy. "Bunt," as he is generally known,is extremely promising in his academic work.Xi sends to every Pi Kappa Phi her best wishes and pledges

at it. We are exerting every effort that we might land thecup which is awarded to the fraternity leading in scholarship.Last year we held fifth place among fourteen fraternities, butthis year our goal is first. From the way some of the boysare working we are sure to have our share of Phi Beta Kappamen as well as all athletes.We wish to introduce three freshmen who have been initiated

into the fraternity since the last issue of THE STAR AND LAMP.These men are: Walter Brool,cs, Samson, Ala.; Thomas Sikes,Luverne, Ala.; and L. B. Strong, of Birmingham, Ala. Weare all pleased with these men who are proving themselves hardworkers both for the school and the fraternity. At present wehave two pledges, Clayton Albert, Guntersville, and LuciousNichols, Abbeville, Ala. We are anxious to see these mencome into the fraternity.

Just a few words about the convention. Omicron's heartbeats with pride and gratitude at the amount of work whichwas accomplished for the good of the order. From reports,all the problems that confront the fraternity were treated withmuch consideration, and we are in every way satisfied withthese accomplishments.

After the rain comes the sunshine. So after examinations.come the mid-year dances which mean lots to the "tea bounds"and "jelly beans," as they are commonly called here (PapaGrant says they are called "cake eaters" in the wild west). Aforce led by the renown Dr. Scott Harris followed by themoonshiner Baty Ingliss, will represent Pi Kappa Phi at thesedances.Omicron is all set on winning the inter-fraternity basket-ball

championship and thereby add another cup to our lot. Ourteam is thoroughly equipped, having jerseys bearing the frater-nity monogram. With men who are determined on winning,we feel sure that the team will soar to victory.Let it be understood that Omicron is working hard for the

uplift of Pi Kappa Phi and we are hoping that all chaptersare enjoying as prosperous a year as Omicron.

To All Pi Kapps :

January 14, eight new members were ushered into the life ofPi Kappa Phi and it was a grand and glorious time. We areproud of these men and we want to introduce them to all PiKapps.


There are three men, however, who must be introduced first.Their names were left out of our last letter by accident.

First is Bro. J. D. Kerr from Abbeville, S. C. Brother Kerris a wonderfully good sport and a fine fellow. Wheneverthere is anything brewing you will be sure to find him mixedup in it.Next comes Bro. E. W. Bibb from Helena, Mont. "Bull

Montana" is our honor roll student. He makes "A" in all ofhis subjects without any apparent study. He says cencentra-tion does it. We wish we had some. "Bull" is also a hurdler,on the track team.

Last, but not least, comes Bro. H. D. Leake from Birming-ham. Ala. Brother Leake, besides having been manager offreshman baseball and now being executive committeeman ofthe sophomore class, is on enough different publication andpublicity staffs to fill a letter by itself. Brother Leake alsointends to run in the two-mile race on the track team, althoughhe is not saying much about it.We also wish to announce that Brother Garrett from Xi

of eighteen fraternities on the campus we are second in scholas-tic standing. This is an accomplishment of which we 'feeljustly proud.Another of our steps in advancement is the establishment of

a table at the house. This is something we have needed forsome time but lack of members has kept us from attempting ittill the present time.Rho Chapter has had bad luck this year. Five men who

started the year with us have left. Bro. E. E. Rosborough,

CHAPTER LETTERS 79

Augusta, Ga., left during the middle of the first term. Hisfather died and he was called home. Two of our frdshmenalso left during the first term, both to enter other schools wherethey could get courses in illustrating and agriculture. But badluck comes, in quantity when it starts. Brothers Ashby andKerr failed to return after Christmas.

Brother McGill returned from the convention on the ninthand from his reports and his manner it must have been aninspiration and a help to all who attended.During the Thanksgiving dances Rho held an informal dance

at the house. About twenty-five other fraternity men attendedand there were in the neighborhood of twenty or twenty-fivevisiting girls present. The house was nicely decorated in thefraternity colors and there were many banners scattered aboutthe rooms. A jazz filled sextette of banjos, mandolins andtrombones, which is led by Brother Stolz, furnished excellent •music for the occasion.Wishing 411 chapters the best of luck during the rest of the

January 9 our archon returned to us brimming full of newsof the convention. As soon as he thrust his head through thedoor, he was rushed over to a davenport, arid was besieged witha million and one questions on the trip and convention. Hegave an account for every hour, including the good times.Every man of Upsilon was very much interested in the out-come of the convention, and when we heard it, we were surethat every minute of the convention was put to some good use.Above all we were well pleased to hear of the policy of exten-sion through the middle West.

Here's to a greater and better Pi Kappa Phi!

CHAPTER LETTERS 81

Early in November, Brother Lassiter of Lambda, who isnow in the Kent Law School in Chicago, paid us a few daysvisit. He also is a law clerk for Swift & Co.The week end of November 11 was Homecoming at Illinois.

There were many homecoming Pi Kapps, and among them wasBro. Wade Bolt of Sigma. Brother Bolt has become an Upsi-lon backer, and since he has no active chapter of his own, thealumni elected him an honorary member of Upsilon's alumni.December 2, the Pi Kapps at One-O-Six donned their eve-

ning clothes and enjoyed the annual formal dinner dance at theCountry Club. Of course, all the "one and onlys" wereimported. On the following night an informal dance wasgiven at the chapter house. The week end was a great success.

Brother Potter, '24, was among the basket-ball players whowere picked for the squad, and has played in several of thegames so far. He has a very good chance of making his letter.The house has entered a basket-ball team in the Intra-Muraltournament. The team is well organized and won its first game.

Upsilon has pledged since the last issue of THE STAR ANDLAMP, H. E. Seymour, '25, and G. H. Kuhl, '24.The semester ends January 31, so at present everyone is

After Brother Perry returned from the convention, told usof the many things accomplished there and of the wonderfulfuture that lies ahead for Pi Kappa Phi, we have begun toconstruct out program of development which will be in keepingwith the pace we all intend to travel within the next year ortwo.Our progress will depend upon the energy and sacrifice,

which each chapter manifests, in order that we might eventually


accomplish these things, which every Pi Kapp hopes to seeconsummated.

Initiation will come early in February and at that time weexpect to bring in seven or eight men whom we feel representthe best in collegiate life.

January 21, our pledges held their annual stunt night. Thiswas staged in the auditorium and all the other fraternal organi-zations of the college were represented in the audience. Itwas a decided success and we were quite proud of the young-sters.Phi is beginning to outgrow his "baby" clothes and now

Receipt of the following publications is acknowledged: TheScroll, Kappa; The Nebraska Nus, Nu; The Upsilon Torch,Upsilon. They were enjoyed very much. Naturally, we feltespecially interested in Upsilon's because of our old timemember (charter)—Jake. Chi is a little slow in getting oneout, but we are getting one started. The chief difficulty is inadopting a suitable name for it.The doors of Chi Chapter house were thrown wide open

December 17, from 4 to 6 p. m., for our annual "Open House,"the first Pi Kapp, at this institution. A large number of stu-dents and friends honored us by their presence, expressing theiradmiration of the house in general, and specially that of thedomicile of the "Terrible Three" (Costar, Cureton andRhodes), which was a sight for sore eyes. The snapshot here-with shows a portion of our parlor—be your own judge ofabove statement. Ice cream and cake; in fraternity colors, thecake being cut diamond shape, and punch, were served to allvisitors. The "University Five" furnghed music during theafternoon.That evening an informal dance was held from 9 to 12 p. m.,

and was enjoyed by all who attended. A similar dance washeld November 26.

Brother Dickey, whose brother, Ernest, is now in school,graduated in 1916. He is the owner of a large dairy, consist-ing of registered cattle, in Bristol, Va. He spent several weekswith us, last month. Brother Moore graduated in 1920, and isnow secretary of Douglas Manufacturing Co., in Philadelphia.He too, spent several weeks with us last month. His wife'shome, prior to her marriage, was DeLand. While here we puthim through. Brothers Dickey and Moore are members ofthe old local.


Great effort has been made to get as many of Phi BetaPsi's alumni into the organization. The alumni chapter men-tioned in last issue has not yet materialized, because of thebusiness activities of the men eligible to join. "Tom" Reidywas with us last month. He has been seeking a positionin a law office, having graduated last year. "Red" Williamsspent a week-end with us and it sure seemed like old times tohave him back. Everything seems so different when he makesthe piano talk "Jazz."Do you like excitement? Well, you should have been here

December 11. The "Freshies" wore their colors, and—well,you know. Brothers Bryant and Sloan, presidents of the twoclasses were the first to clash. Sloan was too enthusiastic andovertaxed himself, therefore was confined to his bed for oneday. The "Preshies" were acknowledged champs, although thegirls' "Sophs" won out.

Talton and Day took part in three one-act comedies givenby Theta Alpha Phi. The whole presentation was voted a suc-cess'. Henderson and Layton are members of the Glee Club,which, so far, has rendered a good program. Day and Curetonare members of the Y. M. C. A. basket-ball team. Schubigeris on the varsity basket-ball team, which has lost one gameso far. "Charlie" Costar, who was on the invalid's list for along time, is back on the job, smiling same as ever.

"Bill" Rhodes is doing fine in his undertaking. He sendshis best wishes to all of his friends.

Fraternally yours,ALMER M. FELTON, Correspondent.

Komos, the old love, has been cast off; and now, for betteror for worse, we're Pi Kapps, and more than contented in thefact. To tell you how contented we feel, would mean an

attempt to describe the worth and significance of the spirit ofPa Kappa Phi, and there words fall amazingly short. Sufficeit to say that, as brothers in Psi Chapter, we wear the pin witha pride hard to down; we use the grip of Pi Kappa Phi withhonest gladness and sincerity.From our convention delegate, Adrian Blume, comes the

belief that such a convention would be hard to beat. The workdone at Berkeley simply adds to our conviction that Pi KappaPhi is far along on the right road to establishing fraternalbonds that will live as wholesomely among alumni as amongundergraduates—that the ideals sought must then be as prac-ticable as they are fine. Psi Chapter is thankful that a sharein the work and spirit of the convention was granted it. Butthe convention history undoubtedly appears completely and ablywritten elsewhere in this issue; what little newspaper andmagazine experience we have had urges us to make briefwhatever Psi Chapter thinks about the convention, that meetingin itself is the leading "story" for this issue; all else can be"played down."A word on activities of the men here might be in order.

Thus far we have had no varsity athletes on our roster. Thatisn't so much to be wondered at when one remembers that thereare over thirty other national and twenty strong local frater-nities at Cornell. Several men have tried out for varsity andfreshman football, basket-ball and baseball, but thus far DameFortune has turned her face from us. We'll draw the old ladyaround yet. The house has entered a team in the inter-frater-nity basket-ball league, and we seem never to lack material, tosay nothing of loyal and large-lunged supporters. Though itpains, the truth must out; we lost our first two games by whatsporting writers call a "comfortable margin." We're dismayednot a whit, though; besides, the season's but a pup, so to speak.In other outside activities, Psi Chapter is better represented.

One man sings with the best of them in the Glee Club; anotherblows a trombone without reserve in the University Band; twoothers are in the sage Chapel Choir; another is in the cast ofthe Kermis play, one given annually by the students in the Col-


lege of Agriculture; sophomore in law aspires to the debateteam, though he hasn't made it yet; two of our engineers areon the board of the civil engineer; a senior, who was editor ofThe Cornell Countryman last year, is president of the localchapter of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalisticfraternity.More of the brothers are going out for activities each year.

We have a real handicap, as far as such things are concerned,and one of which we're proud, rather than ashamed. That isthat all but four of the fellows are working for at least part oftheir expenses. Several are entirely self-supporting.About ten of our alumni are in or near New York City.

Word comes from them that the establishment of an alumnichapter there may soon be possible. Without doubt there areseveral Pi Kapps in New York other than those from Psi Chap-ter. A line to any you happen to know there urging them toget in touch with Carl F. Ostergren, 891 Rugby Road, Brook-lyn, would aid in the formation of such a chapter:Term examinations come the first week in February. For

ourselves we ask strength and succor; for others who mayhave their good nature similarly inflicted upon, we extend afellow-feeling of sympathy and a wish for good luck. Greetingsand regards to all Pi Kapps the country over.

Fraternally,JOHN R. FLEMING, Correspondent.
