tcYOU ARE OEFENDERS OF THE FAITH"*

WHEN THE people of this nation thought that the war to end wars had been fought and won and that the whole world was limiting armaments, some men, fortunately for us, continued to think and to plan. One of these was Lt. General McNair. We are indebted to him as we build our army today. Out of his clear thinking comes one idea that I want to present to you at· your commencement.

"In war men do the impossible Great souls shine forth-sometimes as officers, sometimes as privates. Perhaps they are born so; per. haps they are made by self-training, by contemplating inwardly what lies ahead, by charting their course and storing up resolve. Great as is the influence of leadership, it alone is not enough . Soldiers-our kind of soldiersmust be right inside .

"When soldiers are right and leaders lead, the combination is unbeatable, irresistible. Such troops cannot be stopped; they never tire; they never turn back, but go forward always."

What does it mean to be "right inside"?

Dr George Crile, the great surgeon, has made a study of the function of thyroid and adrenal glands He found that the thyroid made us capable of sudden spurts of unusual

• This is the Commencement Address given by President Dawson, who is now attached to Headquarters, Tank Destroyer School, Camp Hood, Texas, to the 21st Class O C S., at the School, on March 21, 1943. It contains a message for all B et as.-Editor

activity and that the adrenal gland made possible sustained drives for a long period of time. The antelope escapes its enemies by sudden rushes and has an unusually large thyroid ; the elephant plods along for hours, paying little attention to enemies and has a small thyroid but a large adrenal gland . It may be that some day we may rate candidates for commissions by studying their glandular development and balance! That, however, awaits long years of experiment and study.

I am sure that the general is not referring to visceral reactions ; rather he is referring to those inner spiritual qualities about which we hesitate to talk. Let me suggest that the man who is "right inside" has faith . This is the motive power that will make us unbeatable; it is the spark which will fire your own enthusiasm and that of the men serving under you. You need to have faith because your technical skill and your physic::'-! stamina are not aleme sufficient It is faith that sustains you as you look ahead to victory. Without it we live only for the moment and have no vision.

Even our enemies recognize this. In the diary of a captured Japanese lieutenant appear these words:

"I am worried because I cannot unconcernedly overlook another's troubles, and the feeling grows on me that as a commander I am lacking in sincerity. I feel that I am be-

coming detached from my comrades through insufficient mental discipline.

''Diligent people talk of their hopes. Lazy people bemoan their misfortunes. I will rectify my lack of mental discipline by diligence and industry."

Plainly this lieutenant was looking about him and doubting-doubting his own ability, wondering whether the whole effort was worth while. His faith was slipping.

What is this thing we call faith? I have called it "motive power," a "spark," and a "hope." But these figures of speech do not give the whole picture. St. Paul defined it when he said, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The faith I am talking about, the faith you and I must have, seems to me to be threefold.

There is first the faith we speak of as selfconfidence, the knowledge of our inherent power. This faith we have attempted to give you here. It is the confidence that comes from knowing how. It is familiarity with the military way of doing things; it is knowledge of weapons, of vehicles; it is physical staminathe ability to take punishment and withstand hardships. All of this combines as one to give us faith in ourselves.

The second faith is faith in our doctrines. With us it is faith in our Tank Destroyer doctrine. This doctrine you have seen grow and develop before your eyes.

As a leader you must have a third faith. This is the greatest faith of all. It gives meaning, purpose, and direction to all the rest. Without it, faith in ourselves becomes conceit and arrogance; faith in doctrine may become fanaticism and a means of oppression.

This last faith is most difficult to talk about because it is above the power of language. It is purely a spiritual characteristic; it is the faith in the rightness of things and the righteousness of our cause. This is the faith that gives us power far beyond our physical capacity. With this faith we undergo cold and wind, desert heat and sand, strafing and bombing. It is this faith deeply instilled in a leader that inspires his men to the same heights as the leader. It enables the

leader to turn again and again to rally his men to his support. It lifts the head, lights the eyes, puts courage in the hearts, and makes enthusiasm contagious. It is this faith that makes men do the impossible.

Our enemies have this faith too, and it gives them power. In a Japanese field manual called Battlefield Discipline appears this:

". Destroy propaganda and falsehoods of the enemy by unshakable faith in the cause for which your Empire stands, endeavor to spread Kudo (literally the 'Imperial Way')."

This faith of theirs has no rational back· ground. No one can think it through. Their faith is based on the deity of the Emperor; ours is based on the dignity of the individual. We believe in the right of every man to plan and live his own life so long as it is consistent with the right of every other man to do likewise.

Our faith is rational, and with us it is traditional. It is the faith underlying the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Atlantic Charter. Every great leader in every war has tested this faith and has found it giving strength to his arms. It makes the strugglethe combat-as satisfying as the victory. This faith grows as we fight for it as our fathers have fought for it. It is a great faith because it has been watered by the blood of patriots. I think we may give a truer meaning to the great hymn of the church if we changed it, "Faith of our fathers living still, because of dungeon, fire and sword."

It is a faith big enough to live by and to die for. With it there is no room for petty strife and personal bickering. It may be that it seems vague to you now, but the nearer you come to the battle-line, the clearer and larger your faith becomes. In that ultimate conflict for which we are training only great faith can survive. Make your faith great enough for the conflict. You ARE THE DE· FENDERS OF THE FAITH; make it worth defending, worth killing for, worth living for !

My Brothers-in-arms, our best wishes go with you . May it never be said of you, "Oh, ye of little faith," but rather, "Well done; ye have kept the faith."

JUD SAYRE: SALES EXECUTIVE

THOSE YOUNG Betas who read inspirational stuff to get ideas on how to climb to positions of prominence in business and finance wilf .find this brief biographical sketch of Judson Shirley Sayre, Ohio Wesleyan '20, challenging. Since October, 1941, he has been the President of Bendix Home Appliances. In his early forties, Brother Sayre is one of the top ranking sales executives of the country and one does not have to be much of a prophet to see that there are bigger jobs ahead for him to fill.

Jud came to New York in 1920 from the campus at Delaware, Ohio. While taking graduate work at Columbia University, he became the Sales Promotion Manager of the big West Side Y.M.C.A. His genius as a salesman, salesmanager and organizer made itself manifest early in his career He himself offered one of the .first courses in salesmanship ever given in New York. It was outstandingly successful. Although very young, Jud succeeded in persuading many of the leading sales executives in the city to become special lecturers in their own fields.

From the Y.M.C.A. he went to the Alexander Hamilton Institute, then in the height of its glory and fame. The Institute officials, recognizing his talents, sent him to the Southwest. For .five years he traveled through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Montana and through the Middlewest and South. Jud developed business in this territory that no one had ever been able to do. During this period on his occasional visits to New York he used to inspire me by his tales of closing prospects after a fifty mile trip through desert sands.

His great success as a personal salesman resulted in his appointment as a trainer of all new salesmen in his territory comprising the states mentioned. He was in fact if not in theory a sales director for the Institute. Whenever or wherever sales fell off in any district that he covered, he was always the enthusiastic executive through whose efforts

the sales curve would again rise. For .five years Jud did yeoman work as a salesman , executive, trainer. Finally, in 1925, somewhat wearied by constant travel , he came to

HE CAN SELL!

New York for a conference with the Institute officials.

Jud asked the Vice President in charge of sales, "What is my next job?" To which the officer replied, "Mr. Sayre, your next job is my job and I have no intention of resigning."

Jud quit on the spot. He had saved his money, had a tidy bank balance and needed a vacation anyhow. During it he thought of his future. This was in early 1925 He resolved then and there never to get into a business where promotion was barricaded by insurmountable obstacles .

At that time the Kelvinator Corporation was having tough sledding financially and otherwise. He went there because everything

wasn't all right. In July, 1925, he became a branch manager and early in 1929 he was appointed national sales manager. The renaissance of this corporation coincides with his appointment. His great work there resulted in his appointment as for Mont)omery Ward & Company where he was in charge of all their appliances, directing all designing, purchasing, manufacturing and selling. When he left Kelvinator, as a token of the high esteem in which he was held, the officers of the corporation presented him with a 16-cylinder Cadillac.

In July, 1935, he went to the Radio Corporation of America as assistant to the president. Then, late in 1936, when Vincent Bendix searched the country to get the best avail-

able sales executive to direct the designing and manufacturing and selling of the Bendix Home Appliances, Jud was chosen and made vice president. Five years later in October of 1941, he was elected president.

He has a large future ahead of him. His success, I should say, could be epitomized by saying three things: he is socially minded; he masters every detail of every job he undertakes; his vision is boundless. No narrow world can ever hold him. Jud is a national figure. Twice in recent years I have heard him address capacity gatherings of the internationally known Sales Executive Club of New York. He is the type of sales executive who is responsible for America's high standards of living.

LEADER IN WAR-TIME EDUCATION

SPURRED by patriotic interest and devotion to the cause of young America's war effort, Dr. Reuben T. Shaw, Ohio Wesleyan '05, is playing a dominant role in the nationwide program of adapting the public schools to war-time training and planning for post war educatiqn. To Betas in the educational world, Dr. Shaw's name and his works are not new, for he was president of the National Education association in 1938-39, the only Beta ever to lead America's one million teachers.

From his desk at Northeast high school in Philadelphia, Pa., have come new ideas for the readjustment of public school curricula to meet war time needs. Although his official capacity is that of science department head at Northeast high school, Dr. Shaw has devoted a large share of his time to the developing of war-time curricula, to insure that the school systems of the United States do their full share in the war effort.

A host of young men with mathematical and scientific skills are needed in the armed forces and industry. Military officials and personnel directors in war plants have re· ported an alarming, widespread weakness in those essential skills. It is this weakness that is being remedied. Today, hundreds of young

men are going into the army, the navy and other military services with a broader knowledge and understanding of the tasks that are to be undertaken. Much time is saved in their training, because these men already have a familiarity with basic fundamentals of those sciences.

Perhaps the foremost of Dr. Shaw's many interests is the World Federation of Teachers Associations, which he believes will be of great benefit to all nations in bringing about greater understanding once the war is over During his term as president of the National Education association, Dr. Shaw worked tirelessly for the cause of world education.

Who is Dr. Reuben Taylor Shaw? He was born on a farm in Ohio, and his entire elementary education was received in a oneroom, red brick schoolhouse where his mother taught before her marriage. He was graduated from the high school at Delaware, Ohio, and received his B.S. from Ohio Wesleyan university in 1905 and was granted a scholarship to the graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania, to be granted an M.A. degree in 1908 . The latter institution awarded him his Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1926. He_began his teaching career

in Radnor high school and taught for four years at Temple university. In 1909 he entered the Philadelphia school system and has served in the science department of three high schools there.

For many years, Dr. Shaw has been actively engaged in work of teachers associa-

war rests upon the war lords of Jap an .

The latest request of a world -wide nature which has come to him, was in December, 1942, when Dr. Paul Monroe, president of the World Federation of Educ ation associations, requested him to prepare a detailed statement as to how the public schools of America had met the war situation in the field of mathematics and science teaching . This statement is being sent to educators in England, Scotland, Ireland , Canada, Australia, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, The Argentine, China and India; it may be one of the forerunners of the United States of the world about which states!llen are already beginning to talk.

In his work as one of the educational leaders of the nation, he has had the valuable advice and cooperation of Dr. Cheesman Abiah Herrick, Penns yl vania '94, president of Girard College for many years and now retired, and Senator Franklin Spencer ·Edmonds, Pennsylvania ' 93, prominent Philadelphia legislative leader and former alumni counselor of Phi chapter and past president of the Beta Theta Pi club of Philadelphia .

tions, local, state and national. During his term as president of the N.E.A., and the year thereafter as first vice president, he visited every state in the union and wrote many articles concerning the teaching profession in any number of the foremost educational magazines.

In the interests of the World Federation of Teachers associations, Dr. Shaw had occasion to visit Tokio in 1937 and has also visited South America. In regard to his observations while in Japan, he emphasizes his belief that the Japanese as individuals are no more warlike than any other people, but that the responsibility for the present

Other Betas who have assisted him include Kenneth F. Titus, Bethany '30, of Point Merion, Pa.; Dr . A . Duncan Yocum, Dickinson '89, now deceased, for many years a member of the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania; Dr. H. Claude Hardy, W es" leyan '11, educational leader in New York State; and the late Henry M. Robert, Jr., Vand erbilt '95, Yale '96, member of the faculty of the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. 'Robert was the author of the latest edition of Robert's Rules of Order,, which was originally published by his father, General Henry M Robert; he served as Parliamentarian at an N.E.A. Convention.

Reuben Shaw's interests have not been confined to education alone, however. For some time he served as a first lieutenant of the Pennsylvania national guard as a company commander in the third regiment. He is also a fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science and member of the American Chemical society and Pennsylvania Academy of Science.

MacROSSIE RE-ELECTED APPRAISERS' HEAD

THIRD BETA to hold the presidency of the American Institute of Real Estate appraisers is William MacRossie, Columbia '11, recently re-elected to that executive position as the institute's "war president." Since

also served as assistant entertainment officer for the A.E.F.

Upon his return to the United States, he re-entered the insurance business and was made vice president of Ladd & Nichols, Inc., in 1924, as chief of the insurance department. He is now president of the New York corporation of Ladd & Nichols and vice president and treasurer of the Connecticut corporation of the same name.

For twelve years director of the Real Estate board of Greenwich, Conn., and for several years a member of the board's appraisal committee, MacRossie showed his abilities in those fields.

Prior to becoming president of the institute, MacRossie was a member of the governing council, chairman of the education and research committee and vice chairman of the disciplinary committee.

concentration of effort with the most experienced personnel is the order of the day, the institute has returned him to the executive seat. The institute, a branch of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, is now in its eleventh year. Philip W. Kniskern, Michigan '11, was the first Beta president; its 1941 president was Warren L. Morris, Denison '10.

William MacRossie was born in Hartford, Conn., in 1889, the son of Rev. Allan MacRossie, one of the leading educators of ministers of the Methodist Episcopal church. After taking his master's degree from Columbia, MacRossie entered the insurance brokerage field, organizing his own company in 1914. With the coming of the war, he sailed for France with the A.E.F., serving as liaison officer between the First Section of the General Staff and Aid Societies in France. He

Right now, he is being kept busy acting as consultant to the Real Estate Sections of the Army and the Navy, and other governmental agencies. He also serves on the Realtors Washington Committee, a select group which represents the member boards throughout the country of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. And as if that were not enough, he is serving as national consultant of the United Seamen's Service, Inc. This organization serves the in the same way the U.S.O. does the men in the Armed Forces. Admiral Emory S. Land is Chairman of the Board of Seamen's Service and Henry J. Kaiser is president.

In a prominent editorial, The Appraisal Journal recently summed up William MacRossie' s service to his country's welfare in the present emergency: "William MacRossie virtually gave up his private business during the past year to serve on the Washington Committee, and rendered continuing and outstanding service to the various agencies of the United States Government in assisting toward the solution of many perplexing problems having to do with real estate and its valuation under the war program."

·THE NEW DISTRICT CHIEFS

ONE OF THE immediate effects of the war was the calling of a number of Beta Theta Pi's loyal officers into the service of our nation. Betas throughout the country are proud of the fact that the President of the F[aternity, Major William W. Dawson, was commissioned on the headquarters staff of the Tank Destroyer School at Camp Hood, Texas.

As might have been expected, the demands of the service have hit the ranks of the district chiefs harder than any other group of officers of the fraternity. Since the war started, we have seen the enlistment of Robert M. Smith, Chief of District I, in the Air Corps. Brother S. B. L. Penrose, Chief of District II, has joined the Office of War Information in Washington, D.C. William Cramp Scheetz, Jr., Chief of District IV, is a Lieutenant in the United States Naval Reserve, and after continuing his work as chief for many months has now been forced to resign since the demands of the Navy are such that he can not do his visitation work. Edward M. Brown, Chief of District XI, accepted a commission as Lieutenant in the Navy, which forced his resignation. Brother Kermit W. Arnold relinquished his duties in District XII when he was inducted into the army. In XIII, Lt. Comdr. Arthur A. de la Houssaye was one of the first of our chiefs to be called into the service. Brother Kenneth E. Shepard, Chief of District XIV, en· tered the services of the Office of Price Administration more than a year ago, and has been dividing his time between Chicago and Washington. Albert L. McPherrin, Chief of District XV, entered the Navy as an Ensign and now ranks as a Lieutenant. Willard H. Seiffert was forced to resign the chiefship of XVII because of a necessary change of residence due to war work. Lt. Col. Lee B Thompson continued as long as possible as District Chief of District XIX, and gave up only when he was ordered to foreign duty.

With all these resignations, we have a large class of new district chiefs, but it is a real tribute to the fraternity that in these difficult times we are able to find men of vision and ability whose loyalty leads them to undertake the work of guiding our undergraduate chapters of Beta Theta Pi.

In District I, George Ritchie Struck, of 25 Beach Avenue, Swampscott, Mass., is carrying on as chief. Brother Struck is a member of the M.I.T. chapter, wh€re he was graduated in June, 1934. In his undergraduate days he served as recorder of the chapter, as well as rushing chairman and vice president.

CHIEF OF DISTRICT I

Brother Struck was active in campus activities, having played basketball, and was a member of the Beaver Key honor society. During his freshman year he held the Chaun-

cy Hall School Scholarship, and during his senior year received the James Means Memorial Prize for outstanding research; his problem was in the field of aeronautics. Since leaving college, Brother Struck has followed his profession of medical engineering as the Medical Division representative for Boston for the Eastman Kodak company . Although quite young, Brother Struck already has received patents on X-ray equipment, and has established his own business under the name of Precision Radiographs for industrial chest radiography. George was born in West Orange, N J., reared at Sea Cliff and Manhasset, L.I., where he developed a natural interest in sailing and scouting. He reached the rank of Eagle Scout. He took part in high school athletics, and has always maintained his interest in sailing, and his hobby is boats. Brother Struck married Christine Hollands of Hornell, N.Y., on December 29, 1939. Mrs. Struck is a member of Alpha chapter of Delta Delta Delta . They have one child, Stephen Hollands Struck, born October 1, 1941.

RUSSELL EARL RAGAN, Wabash '23

In District II, Brother Penrose was succeeded by the appointment of Russell E. Ragan, of the famous Beta Ragan family of Tau chapter at Wabash College. Brother Ragan was graduated from Wabash in 1923, and during his undergraduate days he served as steward of the chapter. He took part in general campus activities, but was particularly interested in journalism and was elected to Pi Delta Epsilon, journalistic fraternity. Brother Ragan was married to Josephine Koons on September 25, 1924. She is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma from the University of Illinois. The Ragans have two children, Robert Russell Ragan, II, who entered Wabash College in February, 1943, and is now a Beta pledge, and Peggy Lou Ragan, aged 12. Brother Ragan's Beta relatives include: Carroll S. Ragan, known for his composition of Beta music, an uncle, who attended Wabash in 1901; Richard 0. Ragan, his first cousin, who is now in the Wabash chapter; Lieutenant Malcolm S. Ragan, Wabash

'36, another first cousin, now serving as a flight instructor in the United States Navy Air Corps; Carroll E. Ragan, Wabash '27, first cousin; and the late Reuben S Ragan, Wabash 1848, who was a great uncle.

Immediately after leaving college, Brother Ragan started his career in salesmanship, and he has been employed since that time in this profession. He is Eastern Representative of the American Pad and Paper company of Holyoke, Mass., located at their New York office at 305 Broadway, New York City. His territory includes New York, New Jersey, and New England. At present, Brother Ragan is secretary of the Beta Theta Pi Alumni association of New York, and has served as past president of the Beta Theta Pi Alumni association of Western Massachusetts in

CHIEF OF DISTRICT II

1930. In addition to his Beta interests, Brother Ragan has been a loyal member of Rotary at Springfield, Mass ., and was delegate to three international conventions of Rotary .

JOHN EDWARD MCEVOY, Syracuse '36

Captain J. Edward McEvoy, Syracuse '36, has been giving effective service as Chief of

District III. Brother McEvoy was a chapter leader in his undergraduate days at Syracuse, and served as recorder, vice president, chairman of the executive committee, and delegate to the convention in 1934. Since gradu-

at Syracuse. He is Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics, and Acting Quartermaster and Supply Officer. Brother McEvoy attended the Centennial Convention at Miami, as well as the last two conventions of the fraternity. He served as secretary of the Beta Epsilon Alumni Association from 1940 to 1942, and became alumni counselor of the Syracuse chapter in 1940.

EWART WOODRUFF SIMPKINSON, Cincinnati '19

Ewart W. Simpkinson, long a close adviser to the Cincinnati chapter, was drafted into service to take over the supervision of District XI when Brother Ed Brown entered the Navf. His appointment was enthusiastically received by the Cincinnati Betas who know him well. Brother Simpkinson is a member of the Cincinnati chapter, the Beta Nu of Beta Theta Pi, and since leaving col..lege has been interested in the profession of chartered life underwriter. He received the

CHIEF OF DISTRICT III

ation, Brother McEvoy has been closely associated with the Syracuse chapter, and was in a splendid position to undertake the guidance of District III. As an undergraduate, Ed was active in dramatics, the University Radio Work Shop, and served as head announcer of the university radio station for three years. His speech interest brought him election to Delta Sigma Rho, honorary forensic fraternity. He is also a member of Kappa Phi Kappa, Scabbard and Blade, and Pershing Rifles. Since September, 1936, Brother McEvoy has been employed continuously at Syracuse University. He served from 1936-1940 in the School of Speech, and since 1940 in the Military Department. He was also part-time announcer at Radio Station WSYR from 1936 to 1940.

Captain McEvoy is now on duty with the infantry of the United States Army in the Department of Military Science and Tactics

CHIEF OF DISTRICT XI

Chartered Life Underwriter designation in 1931, after having received his Life Insurance Certificate in 1928. In college, Brother Simpkinson was interested in track, and he is

a member of the Alpha Kappa Psi honor fraternity. Brother Simpkinson married Helen Hoffman, a member of Kappa Alpha Theta, in 1931, and they have three children, Carolyn Clare, Charles H., and John Ewart.

Brother Simpkinson has always maintained his interest in civic and young people's work. Until .t;ecent years he was Chairman of the Boys' Work committee of the Cincinnati Y.M .C.A. He has been director of activities at a boys' camp-at Bath, Maine, and is past president and director of the Cincinnati Gyro club. Professionally, he is past president and director of Cincinnati chapter of Chartered Life Underwriters, and past director of the Cincinnati National Life Underwriters association. We are indebted to Brother Simpkinson for turning his attention to the supervision of the chapters in District XI during this war period.

HORACE HOBSON HULL, Vanderbilt '06

One of the most popular officers at the 103rd General Convention was the newly appointed Chief of District XIII, Horace Hobson Hull, who soon gained the affectionate nickname of "Honey." Brotlier Hull is a member of Beta Lambda chapter at Vanderbilt, where he was graduated in 1906. During his undergraduate days he successively held the positions of secretary, vice president, and president of the chapter. On the campus, he also contributed his leadership by being president of the Senior class of the engineering school, and president of the Panhellenic Association. After graduation, Brother Hull was married to Miss Willouise Scruggs, on June 28, 1911. The Hulls have three children, Charles Henry Hull, Vanderbilt '36, Mrs. Thomas M. Keesee (Mary Emily Hull), and Helen Hobson Hull.

In his professional life, Brother Hull has had an interesting variety of experience. He early became assistant engineer in the lock and dam construction on the Cumberland River, and later served as the assistant engineer in the construction of bridges across the Cumberland River at Nashville, Tenn. From 1909 to 1911, Brother Hull practiced privately in the firm of Hull and Raymond, at

Oklahoma City, and he served from 1911 to 1917 as assistant city engineer at Memphis. He became chief city engineer in 1918, and in 1919 became vice president of the Union Motor Car company of Memphis. Since 1921 he has been president of the Hull-Dobbs company, Ford dealers in Memphis, and he is also president of Continental Investments,

Brother Hull is also vice president of Forest Products Chemical company, the largest wood distillation plant in the South, makers of methanol, acetic acid, and other chemical products.

Brother Hull has always maintained his interest in the fraternity, and served a term as district chief in 1907 and 1908. He attended the general convention of the fraternity in St. Louis in 1904, and at Niagara Falls in 1907. In addition to his loyal interest in Beta Theta Pi, Brother Hull was a member of the Board of Education of the city of Memphis from 1924-29, and served as Po-

tentate of the Shrine in Memphis, Tenn. He is now a member of the Board of Commissioners of the Cossitt Library of Memphis, and is past president of the Memphis Rotary club. Brother Hull came to the leadership of District XIII at a time when his abilities were greatly needed, and Beta Theta Pi owes him an undying debt of gratitude. •

JOHN WILLIAM FORNEY, Minnesota '34

In District XVI, Brother Howard Meagher was permitted to serve as district chief only a short time when he was called into civilian war work which took him out of the country. John W. Forney, Minnesota '34, was then appointed chief of the district, and has served this year. As an undergraduate Brothf;r Forney was secretary of the chapter, and later vice president. John was unusually active in campus affairs, particularly in journalism. He served one year as editor of The Minnesota Daily, , the student newspaper. He was president of Iron Wedge, the Senior honor society, active in the University Y.M C.A., and a member of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity. As a Senior he was elected to Beta Gamma Sigma, the scholarship honorary in the school of Commerce. Perhaps the outstanding honor to come to Brother Forney as an undergraduate was his membership on the student committee which during the summer of 1932 completely reorganized the scheme of student government at the University of Minnesota. He was the only undergraduate man to serve on this • comnn1tee.

Five years after graduation, Brother Forney married Mary Adele McAfee on December 29, 1939. (John insists he remembered this date without assistance.) Mrs. Forney is a member of the Minnesota chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma, and is state president of the Kappa alumnre. Since leaving college, Brother Forney has been engaged in advertising. From 1933-39, he was in the advertising department of the Dayton company, a department store in Minneapolis. He later had charge of department store advertising in Peoria, Ill., and since 1940 has been employed by the Campbell-Mithun, Inc., ad-

vertising agency as an account executive, copy writer and new business salesman. Brother Forney first got the inspiration to be a Beta in attending Shortridge High School in Indianapolis, where many of his friends became Betas in the chapters in Indiana . John is vice president of the Beta Theta Pi Society of Minnesota, and was chairman of the annual banquet of this society in 1941. John and his wife enjoy comparing notes on the administration of Beta Theta Pi as against Kappa Kappa Gamma.

devoted member of the fraternity since his initiation into the Oklahoma State chapter in October, 1924.

As an undergraduate, Brother Bateman held the positions as chapter treasurer and president. He attended the national conven-

tion in 1926 as a delegate of Gamma Lambda. While in college, Frank was a leader in extra-curricular activities. He earned a letter in varsity tennis, served as cadet major in the R .O.T.C., acted as business manager for the college annual, and served as vice president of the Interfraternity Council. His wellrounded program of activities and scholarship resulted in his selection at Commencement for the cup awarded to the most valuable all-around graduate in 1927.

Brother Bateman is a member of Phi Kappa Phi honor society, and Scabbard and Blade . In 1933 Frank married Martha Overlees, a member of the Oklahoma chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. The Batemans have two children, Martha Anne, aged 8, and Frank Kenneth, Jr., age 3.

After graduation, Brother Bateman served three years in the accounting department of the Oklahoma Gas and Electric company, and three years as an independent producer of oil and gas. For the past nine years, Frank has been with the Central State College in Oklahoma, a state-supported liberal arts college, where he is executive secretary to the President and also Dean of Men.

Frank's greatest service to the fraternity since graduation has been his position as secretary-treasurer of Gamma Lambda Alumni association during the period of financing and constructing the present $75,000 chapter house. Brother Bateman has started his work as district chief with real insight and appreciation of the opportunities in the position.

JOSEPH MARSHALL TEWINKEL, Whitman ' 23

It is an old saying;that when there is a job to be done, seek a busy man to do it. This is exactly what Beta Theta Pi did in asking Joseph Marshall Tewinkel, Whitman '23, to become chief of District XXI when Brother Thad Byrne became editor of the Magazine . Since graduation, Brother Tewinkel has had an interesting and varied program . He is a member of the Lions Club in Spokane, and being from the Whitman chapter might be expected to be the chorister of that dub. A number of years ago, Joe helped in the or-

ganization of the Toastmasters Clubs, speaking organizations for business and professional men in the Spokane area. In the public schools where he is employed, he has charge of many activities in addition to his curricular work. Joe is director of Audio-Visual Education and Public Relations of the Spokane Public Schools, and is Assistant Superintendent-elect.

He does a radio show weekly, and won First Award for Educational Broadcasting in 1940, granted by the Institute for

Joseph M. Tewinkel, Whitman '23.

Education by Radio of Ohio State University. This show was entitled "The School of Modern Miracles." During the past year, Brother Tewinkel has been on the program as a speaker in five regional educational conventions of teachers . He is "godfather" of the "Spokane Rangers," the city victory organization of 12,500 grade-school youngsters Politically, Brother Tewinkel is a prominent young Republican. He was temporary and permanent chairman of the Washington State Convention in Seattle in 1938, and has given one or·two keynote addresses.

While at Whitman, Brother Tewinkel was editor of the chapter paper, and chorister of

the chapter three years. During these days he wrote the Whitman chapter song, entitled Under Western Skies in the Beta Songbook. Joe's campus activities included journalism, debate, glee club and varsity quartet, as well as dramatics. He is a member of Phi Mu Alpha (Sinfonia), Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity, Phi Delta Kappa, professional education fraternity, and wears the gold key of Phi Beta Kappa . Brother Tewinkel married Helen Evelyn Olson in 1931, and they have two children, Joseph Marshall, Junior, age eight, and Charles Gerhardt, age three. The Tewinkels reside at N. 1305 Madison Street, Spokane, Wash.

Recent appointments of district chiefs include Brother William Griffith Lodwick, Iowa Wesleyan '14, as Chief of District XVII. Brother Lodwick is the father of See-

ley G. Lodwick, outstanding officer of the Iowa State chapter last year. Brother Lodwick has long been a loyal Beta, and the recommendation for his appointment as district chief came with enthusiasm from District Chief Warren T. Fifer and Brother George McKibben, long-time friend from the Iowa

Wesleyan chapter. ,

In Indiana, Beta Theta Pi has turned to a long-time E cta worker, Mark White Pangborn, Sr ., Purdue '10, to take over the supervision of District XII. Brother Pangborn is the father of Mark W. Pangborn, Jr., Indiana '35. The most recent appointment is that of Carroll S. Ragan, Illinois '02, to succeed Howard A. Law, Jr., as chief of District V.

In the latter three instances, biographical material is not yet available .

A "JIMMY YEN'.' STORY

The publication of the inspiring Beta story about a great Beta, Y C. James ("Jimmy") Yen, Yale '18, in the May, 1942 issue of Bij"ta 0ij"ta lit, recalls a similar story about this great Chinese leader, in a previous issue. The story in last May's issue was entitled "He Determined To Do Something," and was written by Richard Young, St. Lawrence '40, former staff member of the Magazine who is now in the Army.

The story of 16 years ago was written by Stanley L. Garnjost, Union '24, and appeared in the October, 1926 issue, under the title, "A Beta ' s Contribution to China " In it, Garnjost said:

"One of the most thrilling experiences of my world tour happened on board the S.S. President Wilson sailing from Yokohama to Honolulu As the steamer was leaving Yokohama harbor a Chinese gentleman arid myself were longingly watching Fuji from the top deck . It was sunset and the famous snow-capped mountain stood out so clearly against the sky line, forming such a wonderful picture that I was spell-bound at the beauty of it all. The opened with my Oriental friend telling me that it was good luck to see Fuji as one left the harbor for it was a sure sign one would return to Japan and the East again

"Finally our talk drifted to colleges, and Mr. Yu Chuen James Yen, alias 'Jimmy,' told me he was of the class of ' 18 at Yale . I casually asked if that was Charlie Taft's class and Jimmy said that by all means it was for he was in the same wonderful Beta fraternity. I told Jilnmy I was a Beta and he immediately asked if I could sing The Loving Cup, Gemma NosJra and Oh! When our Sons to College Go; for he hadn't heard these songs since 1918 I started The Loving Cup and Jimmy harmonized with a wonderful tenor voice . We sang song after song and I was surprised that my new found brother could sing all the words of the various songs after being out of college eight years.

"We continued the celebration of our Beta alliance until the gong sounded for dinner and as we strolled arm in arm down the deck I thought of how inaccurate 'were Kipling's lines

Oh East is East and West is West And never the twain shall meet. But Kipling didn't know of our bonds of brotherhood and our famous saying, 'Once a Beta, always a Beta, everywhere a Beta.' During the rest of the trip Jimmy and I were inseparable " (G. S. S )

A BETA COLLEGE PRESIDENT

HAVE you an inner longing to visit Aunt Mary in Peoria? Would your heart thrill with a complete set of United States stamps? Would a balloon trip from Skowhegan, Me., to Miami, Fla., give you the satisfaction of having done everything at last? Perhaps you have some great hidden longing. Possibly you are the victim of these suppressed emotions. Just write down and send in your unfulfilled dream to the 'Dream Has Come True' program. It may be completed for you The Quaker Oats company has created a magic wishing well. The sages who sit about the well, dividing the oats from the hulls, include Dr. Samuel N. Stevens, prominent psychologist. ... "

In some such fashion the radio announcer may have brought the subject of this sketch right into your home. Who is this man who, to a small measure at least, takes over the prerogatives of the angels? A brother in Beta Theta Pi, of course--Or. Samuel Nowell Stevens, Wesleyan '24.

THE IMITATIVE YEARS

On October 20, 1900, the substantial home of Philip Thomas Stevens, U.S.N. at Eastport, Md , welcomed a new son, Samuel Nowell. The inheritance of a strong body, sound mind, and an almost unlimited capacity for work were the chief endowments of young Samuel. His early training was tutorial, and his first formal schooling at the age of nine led to high-school graduation at thirteen. When sent away for more schooling he left for the woods of Pennsylvania for almost two years where he developed a strong physique and self-reliance. A year of study at Dickinson Seminary served as the bridge for entrance to Wesleyan University at Middletown, Conn., in September, 1918.

World War I held sway in 1918. Wesleyan, together with other colleges, suffered disruption of academic and social life. The R.O.T.C. became the S.A.T.C., and the en-

college became a military camp. These events lasted only about one-third of the college year in 1918, but around it all the incidental horseplay of college and fraterntiy life crowded. (1) The freshmen were ousted by the sophomores, paraded and drilled for a night of introductory antics, paddled and repaddled as their welcome to college. (2) The pledgees of Beta Theta Pi were first given the initiatory rites of the original chapter of Mystical Seven, a three-night affair, involving considerable ictus with the paddle.

(3) The regular initiation ceremonies of Beta Theta Pi were preceded by a night of horseplay and extensive paddling of the nowtender freshman anatomy. (4) A group of Beta sophomores, unsatisfied with the impression thus far created upon the freshman delegation, took it upon themselves to initiate an individual third-degree for the freshmen, punctuated by adequate paddling. Thus the ideals of Beta Theta Pi as expounded in the really impressive formal initiation ceremony were bright by contrast.

Later on during the college year, one professor, Raymond Dodge, now deceased, his snowy white hair crowning his dark shaggy eyebrows, an impressive figure of a man, stood before the college body as a whole and with the subtlety of his profound psychological knowledge, suggested that a curious way to make a freshman respect and love the college of his choice was to beat him. Welcoming a lonesome lad away from home by trouncing his seat with a paddle was a procedure of questionable virtue.

The initiations, the return of soldiers to the campus, the reorganization to civilian life -these all moulded the career of Sam Stevens. In his undergraduate days he took an active part in debating, and was prominent in the psychology department's William James club.

In the spring of 1921, with only three hours of college credit work remaining neces-

sary for obtaining his undergraduate degree, Sam left Wesleyan and, starting with the summer session, worked for nearly a year at the Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore, Md. Then he went to Garrett Theological Seminary in Evanston, Ill., where he combined studies in theology with continuation of graduate work in psychology. In 1924 he received the degree of B.D. from Garrett and the M.A. from Northwestern University in psychology. Wesleyan also granted him the degree of B.A. as of the class of 1922 in 1924.

The upward climb for the Ph.D. in psychology was completed at Northwestern University in 1926. The distinction of the research completed led to election to Sigma Xi. But meanwhile pastorates at Waukesha and Racine, Wis., were served. All this was ac- · complished with the encouragement of Anna Albert, a gradul)te of Johns Hopkins who became Mrs. Stevens on September 22, , 1922.

While working for the doctorate in psychology at Northwestern, Stevens was employed as instructor on the staff. He tained his connection with the psychology faculty at Northwestern, leaving the ministry and eventually becoming full professor of psychology in 1938. His duties included the post of assistant dean of the college of liberal arts in 1930-1.

CONSULTANT

The area of psychology in which Dr. Stevens finds an interest is called psychotechnology. In order to perfect his preparation in this area he has also studied at the Medical School, ·and at the Lewis Institute of Technology in Chicago.

Since 1925 he has been called in as psychological consultant in problems of personnel training in merchandising, manufacturing, and financial fields. Frequently he has gone into companies and helped to reorganize the entire personnel system. He has originated and standardized tests for selection, development, and supervision of employees. Some of these are widely used. Among them are: Tests for Sales Aptitude,, Standard Classification Test for Mental Ability, A Test for

Mechanical Inclination, A Standardized Diagnostic Interviewer's Guide, and A Technic for Predicting Job Success.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

In the course of consulting work, Stevens became much interested in the problems of men and women who for finan ci al or other reasons had been forced to drop out of

LIBERAL ARTS CHAMPION

college before completing the requirements for their undergraduate degree . He had served as chairman of the committee for evening study for the college of liberal arts of Northwestern ·University, helped to organize and develop some of the first work which was done along these lines in the Chicago area. This matured into wh at is known as the University College of Northwestern University. He was director of this enterprise 1931-4, and dean , 193 4 -40. In this experiment in meeting a need in adult education which included some of the best features of undergraduate college, he has the satisfaction of pioneering successfully The University College has gro wn, and today it

continues to fill a real educational need for about 3000 persons each year.

AuTHOR

Sam Stevens has appeared in print, although he has yet to sponsor a best-seller. Perhaps his best-known item is a talk, "Why Men Fail." This appeared in the Life Underwriter, and it was widely reprinted both here and abroad. In 1929 his A B C of Sales Results was written for the improvement of salesmanship. In 1930 his Religion and Life Adjustments was received with a pious nod by his brethren of the cloth. Associated with Gilliland and Morgan as co-authors, a General Psychology appeared as a textbook m 1930.

MAN AsouT TowN

Sam Steven's academic interests have never been divorced from real people and real life. His psychology is no hot-house plant protected from the winds of actual experience. His interests in community, civic, and professional life have led him to accept offices and discharge them with distinction.

He belongs to the American Psychological association, American Society of Applied Psychologists, Illinois Society of Consulting Psychologists, American Association of University Professors, and has been known to appear in company with the National Association of Life Insurance Underwriters, American Management association, and American Association of Manufacturers. No information is available at present as to how he and Mrs . Stevens became involved with Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt sufficiently to be mentioned in My Day.

The Greeks call him Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Delta Sigma Rho, and Alpha Pi Zeta as well as Beta Theta Pi.

BETA AND FATHER

During his early years at Northwestern, Stevens associated himself with the Beta chapter on the campus . There he acted as informal adviser at times. His associations in the fraternity have ripened into many friendships, and the National Fraternity should not

overlook him as a speaker at regional or National Conventions.

His one son, Samuel Nowell, Jr., now stands in the Navy V-7 line, completing his work as a chemical engineer with distinction at Purdue.

GRINNELL

As sixth president of Grinnell, Dr. Stevens took up his duties on July 1, 1940. Grinnell College at Grinnell, Iowa, is the oldest college of liberal arts west of the Mississippi river. It is co-educational, and for many years it has served as a center for learning for the midlands area. It is distinguished by a fine, able faculty, a notable housing system and a rich cultural life for its students.

Since coming to Grinnell, Dr. Stevens' progress may be listed under two headings,

(

1) additions to the physical equipment, and

(2) curriculum development. (1) Up to the beginning of the war he and his associates had secured gifts for the college which include a new dormitory and dining room for men, a new gymnasium for men, an unrestricted gift of $100,000 for general needs, and an increase in a special fund for scholarship endowment of -% million dollars.

(2) The curriculum has been broadened along cultural lines. A freshman is advised on the basis of psychological yardsticks and four fundamental courses of four hours each are selected. At least one day each week is designated for creative study. Comprehensive examinations are placed as hurdles for becoming an upperclassman, and for graduation. The entire program has swung over to the emphasis on building a life, a truly liberal arts college program.

Back of it all stands the wmning personality, the untiring worker, the teacher, Samuel N. Stevens. A segment of his philosophy may be seen from the following:

"I am spiritually committed to the idea that nothing matters so much as the development of sound intellectual habits, real social sensitiveness, and strong moral attitudes in each new college generation. I want Grinnell to do a superior job of work in these areas. This for me is the real kingdom of the heaven which men should seek for first."

LUCKILY, HE MISSED THE BOAT

HENRY A. ARNOLD, Colorado '23, is one of the youngest officials of the International Telephone & Telegraph Corporation. He was elected vice president of that organization recently and now has charge of the principal South American operating properties. The 39-year-old communications executive maintains his headquarters in Buenos Aires, where he hopes that he may join other Betas in South America in forming a Beta club.

Arnold, despite his rapid climb to fame, is rather retiring in discussing his accomplishments. "In 1923 the University of Colorado turrfed me out into the cold world with a diploma-my only accomplishment having been the presidency. of the Beta Tau chapter," is the way he describes his college career. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company first employed him as a student in Denver, Colo ., where he received first actual experience in the communications industry. Thus, he started at the bottom of the business ladder, on which he has climbed high and fast.

Arnold's introduction to South American service was unusual, to say the least. Four years out of college and feeling himself entitled to a bit of rest, he had gone to New York, prepared to take a boat trip. The taxi that was taking him to the pier had a puncture in one tire en route and Arnold missed the boat, literally . While waiting the next sailing, Arnold met the International Telephone people who offered him an opportunity to go to South America and to assist in the development of communications systems throughout the South American countries.

Arnold joined the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation at the time when it had just acquired its Chilean concession and the Colorado graduate was assigned as general traffic manager. In 1931, he became acting general manager of the company and in the following year, was transferred to Uruguay as general manager He was made assistant to the president of

I.T. & T. (Sud America) at Buenos Aires in 1935 and from 1936 to 1938 was assistant general manager of United River Plate Telephone company, the Argentine subsidiary. He returned to Chile as general manager in 1938 and was elected a dire ctor .

He nr y A. Arnold, Colorado '23, Vice President of Jhe Interna tio nal Teleph one and Telegraph Corp. (Sud America).

"From the viewpoint of one who has lived with and learned to appreciate the countries and peoples of South America, at least one great good has resulted from the present world crisis," Arnold says. "North Americans are learning to look beyond their southern borders and to realize the necessity for a complete, friendly, mutual understanding with their neighbors of the South. I look forward to the day when this new neighborliness will result in many young South Americans in our colleges and universities, the best of whom I hope will be on the rolls of Beta Theta Pi."

Ohio Stat e '45

ON APRIL 27, 1942, Frank Taggart, III, was initiated into Beta Theta Pi, just as his father and his grandfather and his great-grandfather before him had been initiated into Beta Theta Pi. But that is not all, for less than a year later, on February 7, 1943, Alfred Swift Frank, Jr ., was initiated into Beta Theta Pi, just as his father, and his grandfather, and his great-grandfather before him had been initiated into Beta Theta Pi. And to provide the keystone and connecting link for this Beta arch of fraternal continuity, their great-grandfathers were classmates in Alpha chapter at old Miami, and were both members of the class of 1846.

Thus, when Alfred Swift Jr., became a member of Beta De1ta chapter at Cornell in February, was completed one of the most amazing and astounding chapters in the history of the fraternity ever to be told; if not a story unique in the annals of the American college fraternity system.

The parallel stories of these two "Beta dynasties" are not easy to keep in mind, all at one time, and above are given the "family trees," in order to help the reader visualize the story as it is unfolded in the following paragraphs.

The history of these two remarkable Beta familities dates back to within a few years of the founding of Beta Theta Pi by beloved John Reily Knox in 1839 at Miami University. It was there that classmates Hiram Strong and David Wallace of the class of 1846 had their names recorded on the roll

of the Alpha chapter-Strong, No. 47, and Wallace, No. 53.

It can well be imagined that when these two young leaders in college activity of a century ago at Miami received their diplomas in that fateful spring of '4 6, they may have taken a solemn pledge to each other. That pledge probably said , " Although oceans may part us in years to come-although we may never see one another again, may the Beta ties keep us together in spirit forever. We pledge that so long as our names and our posterity remain upon this earth, may this bond never be broken ." There is no record in the histories of either family that such an oath was taken, but surely, it must have been within their hearts.

Here, briefly, is the manner in which the Strong-Frank family of Ohio has remained in Beta. Hiram Strong was No. 47 on the roll of Alpha chapter at Miami. His daughter married Alfred Swift Frank, Wisconsin '75, No. 10 on the roll of Alpha Pi chapter. Their son is Alfred Swift Frank, Amherst '09, No. 254 on the roll of Beta Iota chapter . His son is Alfred Swift Frank, Jr., who last February became a member of Beta Delta chapter at Cornell.

The Wallace-Taggart family was founded by David Alexander Wallace, No. 53 on Alpha's chapter roll . His daughter married Frank Taggart, No. 6 on the Pi Alpha Lambda chapter roll, and who was a founder of the Wooster chapter, class of 1874, Michigan '77. Their son, Frank Taggart, Jr., fol-

lowing in the footsteps of his illustrious father , also attended Wooster, class of 1913. He later attended the University of Illinois. Last year, Frank Taggart, III, was initiated into Theta Delta chapter at Ohio State, where he would receive his degree in 1943 normally, but is now in the Army.

The family and personal backgrounds of Betas Frank and Taggart display the effect such steadfast allegiance to this fraternity must have had upon their lives. Betas of Ohio need no introduction to Dr . David A. Wallace, for he was the first president of Monmouth College, and serv:ed as its liead for 22 years. His n ame remains in memory there through a building, Wallace Hall, that occupies the ground once covered by the ori ginal college building.

David Wallace, born in Guernsey county, Ohio, in 1826, started attending school at the age of four, and continued to do so for practically the remainder of his life. He entered the junior class at Miami University in 1844, and was graduated with class honors two years later. Before graduation, he was elected president of Muskingum college in New

Concord, Ohio, but resigned in 1849 to be principal of a school in Wheeling so that he could study theology.

It was in 1856 that he was invited to become president of Monmouth College, Illinois , which he accepted. In the earlier years of the college he was "all things to all students," as president, professor, financial agent, pastor, tutor, registrar, chairman of

the building committee, and superintendent of the work of building. In 1868, his health failing, he was sent to Europe for a vacation. He returned with renewed vigor, but because of his health again failing, he resigned in 1877 to become pastor of the United Presbyterian church in Wooster, Ohio. He died in October, 1883, after being elected president of the Xania Theological Seminary, -a position he was never to fill.

But fortunately, this was not to end the family tradition. Frank Taggart, who had been born in a small Ohio village and had seen his father, a practicing physician, enter the Union army, was destined to keep alive the Beta tradition for Dr. Wallace. He entered Wooster College the year it opened in 1870, but elected to follow law instead of medicine. There he was a founder of the Wooster chapter, as was his brother, Rush Taggart, Wooster '71, Michigan '75. In 1874 he secured his degree, studied with Wooster lawyers and spent two years at Ann Arbor, Michigan, law school where he became affiliated with Lambda chapter.

He was active in the law practice at Woos-

ter and filled many civic offices as well. He was later appointed judge of common pleas court by Governor Asa E Bushnell and later became a circuit judge. In 1912 he was elected to the Ohio Constitutional convention and in 1915 became state superintendent of insurance for the state of Ohio. In 1917 he was made general counsel and attorney for the Ohio Farmers Insurance company of LeRoy, Ohio, where he served until his retirement. He died in December, 1928.

His wife, the daughter of Dr. Wallace, and sister of William Wallace, Monmouth '78, was a true "Beta Sweetheart, " hence it was only logical that their·three sons-Frank Taggart, Jr., Wooster '13, Illinois '14; Dr. John F. Taggart, Illinois ' 17; and David A. Taggart, Illinois ' 20, all became Betas

And now, in this year of 194 3, it is Frank Taggart, III, who carries on the Beta tradition as an Ohio State Beta. He was initiated into Theta Delta last spring

Unfortunately, less is known of the StrongFrank families . Hiram Strong was initiated into Alpha chapter and received roll num-

ber 47; his home address was listed as Centerville , Ohio. He served <J.S chapter recorder in 1846, and was graduated in 1846 He received his A.M in 1849. He later was a Dayton, Ohio, lawyer and became a colonel in the 93rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry during the Civil war. Colonel Strong was mortally at the battle of Chickamauga in 1863.

His daughter married Alfred Swift Frank, Wisconsin '75, who is No. 10 on the roll of Alpha Pi chapter and was initiated on December 12, 1873, just six months after the chapter had been founded by the five members whose names appear first in the roll. He was graduated in 1875 with first honors, taking his degree in classics in the literary department. He then went into law school , from which he received his LL.B. in 1880 While in college, he was a member of the Calliope Literary society.

Later, he lost his life through accidental drowning in the Pacific ocean near Portland, Oregon, when his son , Alfred S. Frank was only a f ew weeks old. The latter followed in the foot steps of his maternal grandfather,

to become a lawyer also in Dayton, Ohio. Of course, that was after he had attended Amherst, where he was an active member of Beta Iota chapter.

An interesting sidelight regarding the Frank family is the fact that the father-inlaw of Alfred S. Frank, L. P. Conover, became a Beta at Wisconsin, class of 1885, and two of his wife's brothers, Harvey Conover, Wisconsin '16, and Richard Conover, Amherst '29, also joined Beta Theta Pi .

It is his son, Alfred S. Frank, Jr., who was pledged by Beta Delta chapter last fall, and who was initiated on February 7, 1943, thus climaxing "one of the greatest Beta stories ever to unfold."

In spite of this Beta background of Alfred Frank, Jr., or "Swifty" as he is called, no pressure was brought to bear on him to become a Beta at Cornell. It is the opinion of his Beta Dad that he made his fraternity choice there solely because he felt the chapter's members to be the best. It might be, however, that the spirit of two men who were Betas together at Miami 100 years ago, had something to do with it.

THE FIRST NORTHEASTERN REGIONAL CONFERENCE OF BETA THETA PI

after a General Convention the National Fraternity, the First Northeastern RegiOnal Conference of Beta Theta Pt was held by representatives of 17 chapters from Districts I-VI, at the Yale chapter house April 3 and 4, 1943. A gathering unique in the annals of the fraternity, this "war-time" conference was acclaimed a success, both from the standpoint of attendance and definite results accomplished.

Bruce Rockwell, Yale '44, was elected president at the opening session, held early Saturday afternoon, and received the gavel from Trustee Howard A. Law, Pennsylvania '35, temporary chairman and guiding spirit of the entire two-day session. Guilford L. Spencer, Wi lliams '44, was elected secretary. One of the features of the opening conference was the reading of ( our inspiring messages from four national officers of the fraternity: President Dawson, General Secretary Smith, General Treasurer Gavin and Assistant General Treasurer Ensign.

Group discussions were held later in the afternoon, delegates meeting in three divisions: chapter presidents division (Thomas H. Davenport, Brown '44, ch.) ; treasurer-stewards division (Clarke H. Wertheim, Maine '44, ch.); and rushing division (Norman N. Alfe, Syracuse '44, ch.). Written reports of these three divisions were read and adopted at the final business session of the conference, held Sunday morning, and many helpful ideas were gleaned by the delegates. A few days later, the comlete proceedings of the entire conference were mimeographed in a neat 22-page bulletin, and sent to each delegate present, thus preserving for permanent reference -the findings of this important gathering. The conference was not without its lighter moments, the highlight of the social activities being the banquet served in the Yale chapter house Saturday evening.

IT WAS WITH great curiosity, hope, and a little apprehension that the Yale Betas looked forward to the First Northeastern Conference of Beta Theta Pi. None of us had ever been to a convention before, and the fellows we were to meet and the proceedings of the weekend were mostly new to us. Our hope was that this conference could solve some of the problems facing us and the other chapters of our great fraternity, but we had some apprehension that our role as host chapter would not be adequately filled.

Brother Howard A. Law, Vice President of Beta Theta Pi, arrived Friday night, April 2, and there was a small discussion between him, some of the Phi Chis, and a few delegates who arrived early. Laughing, grinning and joking, he put us at ease immediately and we all soon felt like old friends, as indeed we were by token of the badge we

wore. Howie was jovial throughout the weekend, yet when the time was proper he was an authoritative and efficient leader.

A keynote of the conference was struck Friday night when Brother Law made a few comments about the future of the fraternity. He said, "The important thing is not how we are going to open our ninety-qdd chapter houses after the war, but what we are going to put into those houses." This theme ran through most of the conference underneath and finally broke out on Sunday with an open discussion of improvements that could be made in Beta Theta Pi-starting from scratch. It is this willingness to perfect even that which is almost perfect which makes our fraternity as great and fine as it is.

The first general meeting on Saturday provided another taste of that time-honored thrill of getting to your feet and singing

AT THE FIRST NORTHEASTERN REGIONAL CONFERENCE, NEW HAVEN, APRIL 3 AND 4, 19 43

Beta songs with Beta brothers. We were led by Captain Ed McEvoy, Chief of District III, another of the grand bunch of Beta officials whose guidance was so important to the conference, though they continually stressed and carried out the principle of letting the undergraduates manage the proceedings. Our chapter president, Bruce Rockwell, was named Chairman of the confer-

ence, an honor which we greatly appreciated. Brother Guilford Spencer of Williams became Secretary. Both of these officers contributed greatly to the success of the meeting.

The district chiefs were introduced at this time, and Brother Russ Ragan of District II, the host district, made a short welcoming address. He stressed the three-fold purpose

of this conference: acquaintanceship among the Northeastern members of Beta Theta Pi, a substitution for a National Convention, and discussion and solution of problems raised by the war and the uncertain future of the post-war worl d,.

After lunch the conference split up into three committees, the Presidents' committee, the Finance Committee and the Rushing Committee. I managed to get around to all three but spent most of the time with the Rushing group. At all the meetings I was impressed by the realism of the delegates as they attacked the various problems raised and by the tenacity with which they clung to each one, delving into every possible corner of the discussion and making sure no possi-

bilities were overlooked

Norman S. Buck, Yale '13, Dean of Eli Freshmen, was the first speaker introduced by Toastmaster Rockwell at the banquet Saturday evening. He was followed by George Struck, Russ Ragan, Ed McEvoy, Carroll Ragan, Bill Scheetz and Howard Law. At 10:30 Sunday morning , the second general meeting was held and the various discussion group secretaries reported the resolutions adopted by their committees which were then incorporated into the minutes. A discussion of possible improvements on the present fraternity set-up after the war then took place followed by some more songs and the conference was adjourned, most of the delegates leaving immediately.

My Impressions of the Northeastern Conference

Two years ago as a lowly freshman I had the distinct privilege of attending a tridistrict convention at the Phi chapter as a representative of Beta Gamma chapter. Over the week-end of April 3-4 I was once again sent by the chapter to a convention, this time a northeastern convention at Phi Chi chapter. In normal times those two get-togethers would have been very much the same, except for the obvious fact that there were more delegates at the Yale meeting. To me, however, the two meetings were quite different.

Two years ago Beta Theta Pi was riding at the top of the heap. You could see it in every brother ' s eye and you could sense it in the atmosphere. Every Beta had a confident, almost smug, attitude that Beta Theta Pi was the best fraternity and that its future would be a succession of uninterrupted triumphs. That was before America was plunged into World War II. Few thoughts were of the war, and very few even thought that we would ever be involved. At Yale, the feeling of being on top was still prevalent, but the war, and Beta Theta Pi ' s part in it, was uppermost in everybody ' s mind . Although it nc:ver came out in the open, it seemed to keep turning up like the proverbial bad penny in

each discussion group and conference .

Two statements impressed me more than any others. One was by Dick Spier of the Syracuse delegation in which he pointed out that his chapter was selling brotherhood in their rushing instead of a big fraternity house, now that their house has been taken over by the university. That they would be able to combat a situation like that is to me a sign of true Beta spirit. Vice President Howard A. Law made the other one when he stressed the fact that this is an " undergraduate" fraternity . l had never thought of it as such, but the truth of the statement struck home to me, as I imagine it did to many of the other undergraduates present.

Perhaps I would be a little bold in predicting that my impressions of the convention were shared by any other delegat es, but it is not too wild a guess to say that most of the delegates arrived at the convention with definite doubts in their minds as to the future of the fraternity. I'm sure, however, th!lt their doubts were dispelled, and that they went away with the definite idea fi xed in their minds that this fraternity of Beta Theta Pi would come through this or any other war with flying colors.

ELIOT BLACKWELDER, GEOLOGIST

FROM 1939 to 1941, Dr. Eliot Blackwelder, Ch icago '01, head of the Department of Geology at Stanford University, was active in geological research preparatory to the second world war, which was then foreseen. His activities in this respect are in

to act as a special delegate to inspect the situation at the University of Illinois.

His research and activity in the field of geology has taken him all over the world and into nearly every state in the union. In 1903, he spent a year in geological investigation in the Far East for the Carnegie institution, going by way of Europe and attending the International Geological Congress in Vienna. He crossed on the Siberian railroad before it was finished and was in Manchuria a few weeks before the Japanese attack on the Russians at Port Arthur. After making a long expedition into the mountains of Central China, he followed the Yangtze river and returned to Chicago by way of Hawaii and San Francisco. Later he became professor of geology of the University of Wisconsin and head of the department of geology at the University of Illinois.

After going to Stanford in 1922, Dr. Blackwelder continued his research during the summers, devoting those months to field studies, chiefly on the glacial history of the Sierra Nevada and other ranges and to desert physiography. Many papers were the result of that work.

However, the other many and varied activities of his colorful career are not quite so confidential, and make an interesting chapter in the stories of Betas who achieve. The climax of his geologic career came when the more than 500 scientists attending the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America at Minneap olis in December, 1940, elected him as their president.

At the University of Chicago, he joined , Lambda Rho chapter in 1898, and successively served as corresponding secretary and president. One of his Beta commissions was

Honors to Professor Blackwelder have been many. In 1935 he was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences and has been a fellow in the Geological Society of America for many years. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington Academy of Sciences, California Academy of Sciences, American Philosophy society, American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Association of American Geographers, . Commonwealth club of San Francisco, LeConte Geological club, American Ornithologists Union, Society of Geologists Belgique, Geological Society of China, and of Sigma Xi. He has authored three widely read geological books.

The family home is at Stanford University, Calif., and Professor and Mrs. Blackwelder have seven children, five girls and two boys: Margery, Martha Jean, Richard, Gertrude, Lois, Ruth and Justin.

APPOINTED BONNEVILLE COUNSEL

On January 1, 1943, Secretary of the Interior Ickes appointed C. Girard Davidson, Tulane '33, General Counsel of the Bonneville Power Administration, whose principal office is in Portland, Oreg. The Bonneville Administration is one of the largest wholesalers of electric power in the world and is responsible for disposing of the electric energy generated at the Federal Government's gigantic power projects on the Columbia River, which include the world's largest dam at Grand Coulee, Wash.

Davidson was born July 28, 1910, at Lafayette, La., and at an early age acquired the sobriquet of " Jebby," by which name he

member of the student board of editors of the Tulane Law Review during his junior and senior years and during the latter year was civil law editor. While a senior he was President of the law school student body, as well as President of the student council of Tulane University As a re sult of his exceptional law school record he was awarded a Sterling Fellowship for graduate study in law at Yale University. The year following his graduation from Tulane was spent in residence in New Haven, and, after the preparation and filing of his thesis, he was in 1936 awarded the degree of ].S.D. by Yale.

C. Girard Davidson, Tul ane '33, General Cormset of the Bonneville Power Administration.

is known to his friends and associates today. He attended the public schools of Lafayette and Southwestern Louisiana Institute at Lafayette, where he was a member of Pi Gamma Mu, Pi Kappa Delta, and Sigma Pi Alpha. After receiving his A.B. degree from Southwestern in 1930, he entered the Law School at Tulane University, receiving his LL.B. degree in 1933.

On March 10, 1931, he was initiated into Beta Xi chapter of Beta Theta Pi, and during his last year was president of the chapter. At Tulane he also became a member of Omicron Delta Kappa and Phi Alpha Delta, as well as the Order of the Coif. He was a

After his residence at New Haven, Jebby traveled abroad and upon his return to the United States was employed as an attorney with the Tennessee Valley Authority at Knoxville, Tenn ., until the spring of 1937, / when he became a member of the law firm of Davidson and Davidson in Lafayette, La. He interrupted his practice in 1939 to take charge of the Public Utility Section in the Legal Division of the United States Housing Authority. While engaged in the practice of law in Lafayette he was a part-time member of the faculty of the Southwestern Louisiana Institute offering courses in constitutional law and political science.

In September, 1940, Davidson became a consulting attorney for the Bonneville Power Administration and on April 21, 19 4 1, was appointed Assistant General Counsel of that agency, serving in this capacity until January 1, 1943, when he became General Counsel. As General Counsel he is in charge of all legal work of an organization which has some 3,000 employees

On his staff very responsible positions are held by two Betas. The first, Charles W. Leavy, Washington State '33, is in charge of all legal work pertaining to power contracts. Chester G. Brinck, Idaho '33, handles the special legal problems of the land division of the administration and is also in charge of all legal work for the eastern Washington district office.

IN A LETTER

to all chapters of Beta Theta Pi, dated April 8, 1943, General Secretary G. Herbert Smith gives some definite and encouraging suggestions concerning rushing and maintenance of undergraduate organization for next year. He says:

"Word has just been released that the Army as well as the Navy will permit men in the college programs to be pledged and initiated into college fraternities. Even though we are unable to maintain our chapter houses, care should be taken to have proper chapter headquarters and an active rushing committee so that attention can be given to the men in the services who are assigned to the colleges in the Army and Navy college training programs. Beta Theta Pi was 43 years old before any one of our chapters occupied a chapter house. There is no reason why we can not continue to elect a group of congenial men who meet the standards and ideals of Beta Theta Pi and carry on our chapter organizations even though we may not be residing together in chapter houses. Each chapter should have its own undergraduate committee from the men who will be remaining in college as civilians next year, and this chapter committee should be augmented by an alumni committee with local representatives to assist in the rushing program ."

Two NEw PuBLICATIONS in the field of "Beta journalism" made their bows this year, and each received an enthusiastic and well-deserved reception at the hands of their readers. They are The Beta Brew and The Beta Stars and Stripes; they take their places among the long list of worthy chapter publications devoted to Beta alumni and their interests.

rhe Beta Brew is published by the West-

ASY CHAIR * * *

ern Reserve Beta Theta Pi association in the interest of the alumni and active members of Beta chapter. Norman M. Cornell, '29, Beta chapter counselor, is the editor, and Robert D. Templeton, '26, is the publisher; they are both prominent in Cleveland Beta Theta Pi alumni affairs.

The Beta Stars and Stripes embodies a brand new idea, and one that undoubtedly will be taken up by other chapters of the fraternity. It is published by the Mothers' Club of Rho chapter, for the Northwestern Betas in the service; Mrs. Allen R. LeRoy (mother of Lt. (jg) Allen R. LeRoy, '42, U.S.N.) is president and Mrs. W. A. Johns (mother of Pvt. William E. Johns, '43, U.S.A.) is vice president.

And while we are discussing chapter publications, may we say that Beta Theta Pi, in both the alumni field and undergraduate field, has some very excellent papers. They are well edited and well presented, and are more numerous than the layman would ever suspect. They are one reason for the great internal strength of Beta Theta Pi.

MAY WE INTRODUCE ••

as "guest editorial writer" in this issue, A. Ray Warnock, Illinois '05, National Scholarship Commissioner of Beta Theta Pi, who recently wrote the editor a letter which contains an excellent summary of the basic philosophy of Beta Theta Pi and its relation to the War. We quote:

"For more than a century our fraternity has been a vigorous factor in preserving America. It has fought through four of the nation's wars, and,

like the nation, has come out of each war to go ahead in greater strength and usefulness . It will Jive and fight through this critical war, and , like the principles for which it stands, will endure.

''In fighting through this war we all have two jobs: one is to defend our institutions against enemy attacks; the other is to maintain our institutions for survival after the war . We all-except possibly those who Jose their Jives in the current struggle--have a share in both jobs And even those brothers who Jose their lives help with the second job by convincing the rest of us that our cause is worth living and dying for

"A columnist of our Da;/y here at Penn State accidentally wrote a magnificent sentence last year . In summing up some remarks made by President Hetzel to a group of student leaders, he wrote : 'What the Prexy really said was that we should Jive richly while we yet Jive because tomorrow we may not die.' In this emergency we should be mindful of the thought that tomorrow we may die ; but for most of us-even our younger brothers-who probably will survive the battles, we must be mindful that tomorrow we shall be living and carrying on.

"Incidentally, may I say that I like the wartime issues of the Magazine. In make-up and contents they inspire confidence. Too many fraternity magazines these days are morbid and doleful. While our Magazine recognizes with proper respect the deaths of many Betas who have given their lives for their country's defense, it also records the vigorous contributions of Jiving Betas who are doing things and expect to keep on doing constructive things.

"And so I like to feel that my fraternity, while doing its duty in fighting through this war, also implies by its acts that it expects to carry on with a triumphant America through a productive future ."

IN CoNNECTION WITH

the announcement concerning the revised plans for publishing the SECOND MILITARY LIST of Beta Theta Pi to be found on the page following this one, may we make this suggestion to each chapter (or, more specifically, to the "Board of Trustees of the Building Association" or the "War Committee" of each chapter): that some one member be designated as the "Official Keeper of the Military Roll" for that chapter; and that every chapter member in the military service

keep this official constantly informed as to his military status, including promotions and changes of address. Many chapters already have such individuals who are doing just this; examples are C. J. Roseberry, '05, of the Illinois chapter; Karl Fischer, '25, of the Indiana chapter ; William R . Gaus , ?t . Lawrence '15; Sgt. William E. Miller, West Virginia '41; and J. H. Shubert, W hitman '10-and there are others. Such an official appointee, if one has not already been designated, might .well be the Chapter Counselor. The important thing is that the one selected should enjoy this sort of servicein touch with the fellows " (about which we have written before, in the columns of the Magazine) -and that he be fairly permanently located. The task of maintaining the " war record" of each chapter is a continuous one, and a vital one, and should be done with pride. Beta Theta Pi is making a wonderful record in the present conflict; it should be preserved by chapter units.

As WE WERE READING

over the final copy for the story on page 633 in this issue of II!, we could not help reflecting on what a wonderful Beta heritage and experience has been the lot of Mrs. Frank Taggart, Sr., who contributed so graciously and helpfully to that article. Hers has been a full and eventful life, and one that has been connected with Beta Theta Pi ever since she was born.

History tells us that Abigail Adams, of White House fame, was very proud of being the wife of one president, and the mother of another. How immeasurably more proud must this true "Beta Sweetheart" be of her Beta boys. Mrs Taggart is a Beta daughter, · a Beta niece, a Beta sister, a Beta wife, the mother of three successful Beta sons, anda Beta grandmother!

We can't help but wonder, is there any other woman in America who can equal such a record?

The Second Military List OF

The Second Military List of Beta Theta Pi, the publication of which was originally planned for this issue of IIi', will be published in the next issue of the Magazine. This decision has been made after serious consideration, in order to provide ample time to make sure that the name of every Beta in military service is included on the List. Present indications are that if it were printed in this issue, it would not be complete. It is the earnest desire of The Editor that the List be 100 per cent complete, inasmuch as when it is printed, it will constitute one of the great " Beta stories " of all time

It will be recalled that the Important Announcement in the Marc;:h issue of the Magazine requested that military data be sent to the chapter secretary, who, in turn, would compile the chapter list, and send one copy to the editor, and one copy (with military addresses) to Trustee Walter Holt, 151 Potrero Ave., San Francisco, Calif . The chapter secretaries, in almost every instance, have done a splendid and painstaking piece of work in collecting the names of the members of their chapters in military service, and in preparing them for publication . In this task they have received invaluable help from that loyal group of Betas who are the "unsung heroes of the fraternity" -the Chapter Counselors and Alumni Financial Advisers-and in some cases where the chapter house has already been closed, the chapter list has been prepared by the Counselor himself . However, so many of the letters which accompanied the lists emphasized the fact that the lists were incomplete, because of the shortness of time allowed for their preparation, that the editor has decided to allow more time.

So here, then , is the revised plan for the publishing of The Second Military List of Beta Th eta Pi: It will be published in the first fall issue of the Magazine, and thus, to a degree, will take the place of the Convention Number. The List will be published as outlined on pages 460 and 461 of the March issue; the names will be printed by chapter, will be arrang ed a lph abetica ll y, and will include the rank, first name, middle initial and last name, class, and branch of service of each man. The names of pledges will not be included.

During the past few weeks, the editor has received many additions for the milit a ry lists, from members and Beta rel a tives who read the announcement in the M arch issue too late to send the information to the chapter secretaries. These names , of course, have been added, and will continue to be added, as they come in. If anyone is in doubt as to a given name being on the list, it will be perfectly all right to send it direct to the editor, at N. 421 4 W a shin g ton St., Spok a ne, W ash ., anytime during the summer. A post card will do; however, the send e r is asked to sign his name and address, so that responsibility for information may be est ablished. And by all means , prom otions in rank received between now and August 15 should be sent in '

Ten days before the deadline for the next issue of the Magazine, each Chapter Counselor will be sent a copy of the List for his chapter, as it then stands, so that additions or corrections may be made to it. (Note: The names and addresses of the Chapter Counselors are listed in the Directory at the back of the Magazine ) Or, the List will be sent to anyone he may designate, such as another alumnus of the chapter, or the chapter secretary, in case the chapter is being maintained during summer school.

In conclusion, may we again say (1) that Trustee Walter Holt should be kept constantly informed of all changes in military addresses and (2) that the mailing address for the Magazine for any member of the Baird Fund will be changed only upon specific request by the member, or his representative (such as chapter secretary or immediate relative).

OF THE DRAGON"

He Saved His Beta Ring!

The fanaticism of Japanese airmen who deliberately sacrifice their lives in attacks on ships at sea, is vividly impressed on Lt. Wait R. Griswold, I ndiana '35, M .C., U.S.N .R., who visited his parents in Indianapolis in March. His picture appeared on the cover of the April Indi ana Alumni Magazine.

Disregarding all the rules of safety taught American airmen, the Japanese flyers loose their torpedoes and then return repeatedly to machine gun the ships until they are brought down, he said. Lieutenant Griswold was one of the medical officers on the heavy cruiser Ch i cago that was sunk January 29, 1943, while convoying troops and supplies into Guadalcanal.

Describing the sinking of the Chicago , he said the 10,000-ton cruiser left the west coast on New Year ' s eve following repairs to bow damage suffered from an enemy torpedo plane in the Solomons area. As the convoy moved toward Guadalcanal, at night the enemy planes came over and made torpedo hits in the fire room and engine room . The under-decks were flooded and the ship dropped sharply, but did not sink.

At four o'clock the following afternoon while the ship was being towed in an effort to reach an Allied port, the Japs made a second attack. They made four direct hits and the ship went down in 19 minutes. Liferafts were thrown over the side and men jumped into the sea. Lt. Griswold said he escaped with the three rings on his fingers, one of which bore a Beta crest, and a pair of bandage scissors. The crew members were picked up by other ships, he said, after being in the water about an hour and a half.

"While the men were swimming around

in the oily water waiting to be picked up, several Japanese planes were burning on the sea," Lt. Griswold related. "They had used the same tactics before, diving at the sinking ship time and time again to ma!=hine gun the crew, until they were finally shot down. Luckily, the oil on the water did not catch afire.

A graduate of Culver Military Academy, Lt. Griswold obtained his M.D , from the F.S.S.F.

FIRST LIEUTENANT GRAHAM NEILSON, Toronto '42, is a member of the First Special Service Force composed, approximately of equal numbers of United States and Canadian officers and men , all mixed together so that there is no way in which an outsider may determine the country from which any man, picked at random, comes This is the first such experimenta l unit of its kind, and is said to have proven a success.

Originally, Lt. Neilson was a platoon commander in a company which had a Canadian commander and one Canadian, and two American, platoons . He is now supply officer for his regiment. His organization went into training as a single unit last August, at an undisclosed location in Montana.

Indiana University medical school and after interning in Indianapolis was on the staff of the Madison State Hospital before beginning his practice in Hobart, Indiana . He had been on the Ch i cago since July , 194 1. He has recently been ordered to the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland.

Two Beta Pilots from California

PILOT OF STATESMEN

Capt. John H. 'Ruggles, California '38, is the world's No. 1 "pilot of celebrities." Flying for the R.A.F. Ferry Command for over 22 months , but still holding his reserve

It is over 13 feet long and has bills from 63 countries; it contains more than 600 signatures, gathered in flights to Moscow, South Africa, Egypt, Turkey, Algeria, Tripoli, Iran, Isle of Cyprus, and Tunisia, just to name a few of the places he has been in his 280,000 miles of flying.

His latest exploit was to fly Anthony Eden to America, and this was a particularly welcome assignment, as it meant he was to see his wife and 20-months-old son in Montreal, where he is based. And then he had time to take a little side trip out to see his mother, Mrs Claire Ruggles, of San Francisco, also.

Graduate of Randolph and Kelly Fields in 1938 and 1939 and instructor at Brooks Field in 1940, Captain Ruggles hustled off to Canada and joined the Royal Air Force to make an early entry into World War II. When asked about his most famous passenger recently, he said: "Prime Minister Churchill? A marvelous man with a terrific sense of humor; stamina that is unbelievable. In our language- a great guy."

MORE ABOUT THE "LONDON BROADCAST"

Readers of the Magazine will recall the "pleasant incident" recounted by Dr. H . Sheridan Baketel, Dartmouth '95, on page 444 of the March issue, concerning the Beta lieutenant who broadcast from the American Eagle Club in London on February 6. A fellow chapter-mate of the "unknown" Beta, 1st Lt. Charles H. Kent, Ohio State '41, Q.M.C., U.S.A., now sta,tioned at Camp Lee, Va., also heard the broadcast, and immediately set out to investigate it. Concerning it, he writes:

"Of the radio audience which heard the Mutual Broadcasting System's program from 8:00 P M. to 8:30 P.M. E.W.T. on February 6, 1943, all Gr eeks must have been surprised and all Betas pleased. During that program (a weekly feature of the network, which is a re-broadcast of the British Broadcasting Company's interview of U.S. servicemen at the American Eagle Club in London) spoke Lt. Robert B. Schultz, Ohio State '43, a member of Theta Delta chapter of Beta Theta Pi. What's more, during his interview he spoke of both his university and his fraternity (no doubt pre-arranged) .

"I happened to tune in upon the program just as Bob was speaking, and when I heard him speak of Beta Theta Pi-Ohio State-etc., I got quite a jolt. Since that time I have had letters from Betas in several states who a lso heard the broadcast.

"Thinking that this might make good material for the Magazine, I wrote to WOR in New York and asked them if they could provide a copy of the script which included Bob's interview. They referred my letter to the British Broadcasting Corp ., and put me in touch with Miss Ellen Winston of BBC's promotion department. She promised to send me the information as soon as it was forwarded from London, which she did. Here is the script (in part) :

to the native quarters, and out to her plane, as well as having tea with her. As a matter . of fact she does not drink tea but takes instead a glass of hot water with orange peel in it. She has a most charming personality and the nimblest, quickest mind you could imagine. It was easy to see why she is the most famous woman in the world."

If It Were Only a Dream

The drone of the enemy craft you hear, It's bringing death so very near.

" Zero Six Zero, he's coming in fast.'' Then the Nineties begin to blast.

The leering Jap has set his sight, The target's clear in the moonlit night, The bomb bay is open and away you dash To find your foxhole in the grass.

In you jump with rats and mudThat dreadful swoosh-the screaming thud; (I made it here and just in time), The bombs are coming, they're right in line.

Closer and closer they seem to fall, Raining their grim death over all. And when the rats begin to scream, The bombs are close. It's not a dream.

You shake and tremble and think of home And far above you hear the drone. He's dropped his load, his chow he's fed To those he thought he ' d caught in bed .

THE STORY OF A "BETA RING"

The following is the tale of how one Beta

in the service happened upon another Beta, through the medium of a Beta ring, and is no doubt typical of many such incidents that are taking place the world over. It is contained in a letter from Major Jonathan A. Wolcott, Nebraska '39, former secretary of Alpha Tau chapter, and who is Ass't AC of S, G-3, at Headquarters of the 11th Airborne Division, Camp Mackall, N.C. He says:

"Recently I had an interesting Beta experience when a new recruit reported in front of me to ask a question which came within my province, and he failed to salute me in the proper military manner. According to my custom I answered his question, and was just preparing to instruct him in very firm language regarding his military courtesy toward his superiors, when I noticed a ring on his hand bearing the crest of Beta Theta Pi.

" I immediately found myself unable to scold the man and instead got up from behind my desk, and walked down the hall of the Headquarters building with him to find out where he became a member of our great fraternity. This brother was Pvt. ---, who is now on duty with the Special Services Officer of this Division. He became a member of the fraternity at one of the western chapters.

"I have had in my short service with the army many such interesting experiences, and it is usually through some pure chance that I learn that the soldier or officer with whom I am talking is a Beta.... As is to be expected, the record shows that Betas everywhere are making a splendid

record in this present War, and I am confident that our fraternity will come through this present conflict into a world based upon the ideals of our founders."

In his junin the qualifying rounds of the 50-yard free- ior year at Lane Tech, Chicago, Kozlowski style, Henry Anthony Kozlowski, Northwest- received No. 3 rating in the 50-yard event on ern '46, clipped a half-second off the mark the all-American Interscholastic team of 1940

and the following year he was chosen for the No. 1 position in both the 50 and 100, setting a new national scholastic record of 52.6 seconds in the 100. At the Senior National A.A.U. meet of the same year he placed second in the century with a time of 52.4 seconds, the fastest clocking ever credited to a high school swimmer. He also swam on the winning 400-yard relay team which established a new world's record. At Ohio State University, where he enrolled in the fall of 1941, the brilliant Polish lad won all-American Freshman Team rating in both freestyle events. National I.C.A.A. meet officials described his great accomplishment as one of the finest in swimming history and yet, incredible as it may sound, Kozlowski has been timed unofficially in 21.5 for the 50 and in 50.5 for the 100.

Traeger won the State Interscholastic title in 1940 in 59.3 seconds ; repeated in 1941 with a fine 55.2 performance and swam on the victorious 200-yard relay team and in 1942 he captured 1st place in both the 50- and 100-yard sprints. He also won the 100 and 220 at the Oregon A.A.U. meet and defeated all rivals in the 50, 100, 220 and 440 at the Idaho A.A.U . championships. Traeger has a mark of 24.5 in the short dash and 54.1 in the century.

Another Husky swimmer, Clem Akina, Wash i ngton '4 6, speedy Hawaiian lad who holds several high school records in Hilo, won both the 220 and the 440 at the Northern Division meet, turning in a docking of 2:25 2/10 in the former event and 5:24 7/10 in the latter. Akina won the 440 at the Honolulu Interscholastics in 1940 in 5:22 ljlO and placed second in the furlong. He has been docked in 2.17 for the 220.

Tom Hedges, Ohio State '45, was a fine backstroke artist who had the misfortune to compete in a conference that boasted two of the greatest dorsal swimmers in America today, the great Holliday of Michigan and Follansbee of Ohio State. Improving steadily, he generally pressed his team captain to the limit, placing 2nd against Purdue, 3rd against Michigan, 3rd in the Annual Big Ten Conference meet and fourth in the National Intercollegiates. Hedges was clocked in 1:36 7/10, faster than the former Conference record for the 150-yard backstroke. He also has a mark of 61.8 seconds for the hundred and several weeks ago swam on the 150-yard medley relay team which won the Junior National A.A U. title in the excellent time of 1 : 21. He finished 5th in a record-breaking backstroke at the A.A.U. finals.

Ted Hobert, Ohio State ' 45, all-American Interscholastic selection for 4 consecutive years, was bothered by a throat infection which kept him out of several meets and seriously retarded his development. He managed to win the 50-yard freestyle against Purdue in 24:8, placed second in a fast 23 .5 race against Michigan and swam on several winning relays. He was also a member of the Junior National A.A.U. medley relay champions and reached the semi-finals of the "50" at the National I.C.A A. meet, just failing to qualify in a heat that was swum in 1.2 seconds faster than the heat in which he unfortunately was bracketed .

Handicapped by the fact that his coach was forced to use him in the events in which he was most needed and therefore given no chance to concentrate on his favorite distances, Henry F . Dunbar, Jr., Amherst ' 44, never quite reached the heights which we had expected of him He was, however, our most versatile swimmer, competing in the 100-, 220- and 440-yard freestyle, the 150-yard backstroke, the 300-yard individual medley, the 400-yard relay and swimming the breast stroke leg of the 300-yard medley relay. In a meet with the New York A.C., Dunbar placed second in the 220 and the 440; against Bowdoin he won the 220 in 2:22

and finished 2nd in the quarter; against Dartmouth he swam on the winning 400yard relay, sprinting his hundred in 53 flat, and he placed 2nd in the furlong. He won the 220 against Springfield with a time of 2:18 ?/10 and took second in the 440. In a meet with Worcester Polytechnic, he swam only on the relay team , helping to establish a new New England record of 3:37 6/10. Against Olneyville Boys club he won the 300-yard medley in 3:44 4/10 and swam on the relay team which lowered its own figures to 3:35 6/10. In the final dual meet with Williams,. Dunbar swam all 3 standard strokes, doing the breast stroke leg for the winning medley relay trio, placing 2nd in the 150-yard backstroke with a clocking of 1:47 and turning in another 53 seconds century on the victorious 400-yard freestyle relay team. At the New England Intercollegiates he was successful in his defense of the 220, winning in 2:21 i /10, swam on the medley relay team that finished 2nd and ended the evening by taking 2nd medal in the 300-yard medley swim.

Thomas C. Burke, Yale '45, showed a big improvement over his work as a freshman, winning his varsity letter by placing 1st in the 150-yard backstroke against West Point in 1:43 1/10. "Tom" also won 2nd in a meet with the Coast Guard Academy and 3rd in a very fast race at Princeton

David G. Manning, Michigan '45 (now at Annapolis), was the highest scorer on a good Navy team, swimming on many winning relay teams and generally placing 1st or 2nd in the 100-yard freestyle. He anchored the winning 300-yard medley relay team in meets with Dartmouth, Temple, Princeton, West Point and Pennsylvania; he swam on the winning 400-yard relay team against Harvard and Yale and he won the century against Temple (54.9 seconds) and also against Princeton (54 flat). Manning also placed 2nd in both the 50 and the 100 against Harvard, 3rd in a very fast 100 against Yale and 2nd in the 100 against Dartmouth and West Point. At the Eastern I.C. 4-A championship meet he anchored the medley relay team that won 3rd place

and the freestyle quartet that finished 5th. Other swimmers, whose records are more or less incomplete, include the following:

Ronald A. Trumble, No rthw estern ' 44, a clever diver who placed 2nd in meets with Iowa and Illinois; John Wooden, Northwestern '46, a freshman whose mark of 2.22 rated him faster than any of the varsity 220-yard freestylers; Rudy E. Schmalz, Northwestern '4 4, who won the 50 , finished 2nd in the 100 and anchored the winning 400-yard relay against Illinois; and Joseph N. Rizzo, Amherst '43, who was graduated a month after the season started. Rizzo managed to compete in a few meets, winning the 100 in 56 flat and swimming on a 300yard medley relay trio which set a new pool record of 3:06 against W.P.I. He also placed 2nd in the 150-yard backstroke and swam on a victorious 400-yard relay team against Springfield.

George J Kern, Bowdoin ' 4 5 (son of George C. ("Farmer") Kern, '12, one of the greatest fullbacks ever developed in Maine football ranks), lost a leg several years ago as a result of an unfortunate automobile accident. Unable to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious father , the plud<:y youngster turned to swimming and won his varsity letter by finishing 1st in the 440 against M.I.T. in 5:41 2/10 . A few weeks later he won the same event against Boston University, receiving a fine ovation from the spectators all of whom appreciated the handicap which the youngster had to overcome in order to defeat his rivals.

Three swimmers at Brown were Lawrence Wanthouse, '45, who is Junior State A.A.U. champion and Co-Captain for the Brown Swimming team for 1943-44; Timothy Joyner, '45, member of the freshman relay team which holds the national record in the 400 ; and Russell P. Dolan, '43, Brown ' s freestyle swimmer. . . . Lon Hetlage, DePauw •46, was a winner in the distance events for his alma mater Two Duke swimmers who were prominent were Foster K. Ingalls, '44, freestyle and backstroke; and William Marshall, '43, freestyle. E. Lauck Lanahan, '43, was Manager of the Duke Team .

SOME BETA BASKETBALL STARS OF 1943

All-Beta Basketball Teams of 1943

Robert J . Myers, Dartmouth '44, chosen by nine of the ten coaches for a position on the all-Eastern I.C.A.A . .first team, was easily our .finest forward. With a total of 283 points in 23 games the big 6 ft. 4 Ohio lad led the Indians in scoring and finished 4th in league totals after setting the pace most of the season. A , dangerous shot from any angle, Myers had many great nights, scoring 22 points against Columbia, 22 against N.Y U., 22 against West Point, 20 against Wayne, 17 against Pennsylvania, Holy Cross and Harvard, 16 against Yale, 15 against Columbia and 12 against Toledo and Pennsylvania.

His team mate, James Olsen, Jr., Dartmouth '43, all-League center in 1942, was chosen on the 2nd team this year. A little bit erratic in his shooting, big "Jim" failed to reach the scoring peak which he attained in 1942 ; nevertheless, he was still a .fine center, getting the ball consistently off both backboards and feeding his forwards in brilliant fashion. He accounted for 24 3 points, placing 7th in league scoring and there were occasions on which he did some .fine shooting. The rangy 6 ft. 5 lad tallied 22 points against Harvard, 19 against Cornell, 15 against Columbia and 14 against Toledo, West Point and Brown, each . Incidentally, Olsen has been a member of three Eastern I.C.A.A. championship teams-19 4 1, 1942 and 1943-playing regularly in every contest. Myers has held down a starting berth during the last two years, starting every game and helping considerably to win the last two league championships.

Richard West, U.C.L.A '44, a transfer from Long Beach Junior College where he earned high scoring honors on a team that won the Conference championship in 1942, was one of the outstanding players on the Pacific Coast during the past season. He led his team in scoring with a total of 215 points in 19 games, scoring 23 against Los Alamitos Preflight; 19 against Fox Studios; 18 against California; 16 against Santa Ana Air base; 16 against Fox Studios; 16 on two different occasions against Stanford and. 14

against Luisetti ' s strong St. Mary 's Preflight team He was a f ast, tricky floor man whose deceptive change of pace while dribbling combined with a rem arkably quick f ake that threw an opposing guard completely off balance made him one of the most dangerous forwards in the Co ast Conference ranks.

His team-mate, Marvin A. Lee; U.C.L.A. '4 4, veteran center and forward, was bothered considerably by an injured leg which kept him out of at least two varsity contests. He won t.he second game with California by tossing in 4 baskets in the closing moments of the game ; scored 17 points against San Francisco in one game and 12 in another; 14 against U S. C., and /.finished the season with a total of 136 points in 18 games. His ability to control the ball and his accuracy in tapping rebounds through the net made him an invaluable member of one of the strongest teams in his section of the country. Although a member of one of the weakest teams in the East, Guy E. M acGaughey, Jr , Yale '45, ranked as one of the .finest sophomore forwards, am assing the splendid total of 310 points in 24 games, a new college record, and .finishing sixth in the Eastern I.C.A.A. scoring race. The former freshman captain established a new Yale record by caging 32 points against Manhattan Beach C. G . He also tallied 20 against Brown; 19 against Ellis Island C. G.; 15 against Bolling Field; 18 against the Coast Gu ard Academy and 15 against the Naval Station, Manhattan and Columbia, each. He ended the season by tossing in 22 points in the final series with Harvard . Had M acGaughey been fortunate enough to play for a team like Dartmouth, he probably would have been quite a sensation.

Robert J. Jake, No rthwestern ' 44; Kenneth G. German, Columbia '43, and Rolph B. Fuhrman, Oregon '43, were all good forwards, the former scoring 19 points against Wisconsin, 12 against the great Illinois quintet and 11 against Ohio State. Fuhrman played so consistently well throughout the entire season that he was chosen on the allNorthern Division team; during his collegi-

ate career he traveled 14,500 miles as a member of the Oregon basketball team. German tossed in 19 points in a thrilling victory over Princeton, scored 14 against Pennsylvania and accounted for 10 points against both Dartmouth and Yale. He finished in the 13th position among Eastern I.C.A.A. scorers with a total of 94 points in 12 games.

Clarence C. Hasse, Northwestern '43, was a valuable performer who alternated between guard and center, playing equally well

in place of an ailing veteran, Brindley always rose to the occasion. If this rangy freshman is ever able to complete his college career, he may easily develop into one of Dartmouth 's greatest players.

John L. Carroll, Dartmouth '45, captain of a fine freshman team a year ago, served as understudy to the brilliant Myers. He played well in every game, scoring 11 points against Yale and usually dropping in 3 or 4 baskets against all other opponents. There is no doubt that the former Ohio high school

in both positions. He did a grand defensive job against Wisconsin and scored 14 points in a hard fought victory over Ohio State and 12 points in a game with Iowa.

Audley Brindley, Jr., Dartmouth '46, a brilliant young freshman who saw a great deal of -action at forward and center, was one of Dartmouth's best players, scoring 162 points during the course of the season, 18 of them against Yale; 15 against Cornell ; 15 against Springfield; 12 against Pennsylvania; 10 against Seton Hall and 10 against De Paul. Called upon to start several games

star, who recently received an appointment to Annapolis, would have been a regular forward on any other team in the Eastern I.C.A.A. league.

William H. Taylor, Washington (Seattle) '45, the only sophomore to figure prominently on a team that won the Northern Division title and then won 2 straight games from Southern California to win the Pacific Coast title, did a grand job as alternate guard or forward. He started some games and played at least one half of every contest, scoring 19 points in two important games

with Washington State; 16 against Oklahoma; and '10 points against Oregon Aggies. Taylor was the hero of the first thrilfing victory against Southern California and in the second game his 7 points helped to clinch the title. George R. Bird, '44, and William Gissberg, ' 44, were also valuable reserves, Bird playing very well at either a guard or a forward position.

Ellis Eugene Vance, Illi nois '4 4, brilliant guard on two successive Big Ten Conference champions, was chosen by the coaches on the 1st all-Conference team at the close of the season; he played an important role on what was generally considered to be the greatest team in Big Ten history. He was the finest guard in two important respects , getting rebounds and handling two men coming down the floor together. Moreover, his offensive work was excellent, for he scored 86 points in 12 league games, tossing in 14 against Minnesota, 12 against Michigan, 11 against Qhio State and 10 against Stanford. Against Northwestern he took only 6 shots at the basket and made 4 of them good while in a game with Missouri he tossed one through the hoop from a spot measuring 55 feet, the longest goal ever made in Huff gymnasium. A fine student, with a "B" average at Illinois, modest and extremely popular on the campus, Gene ranks as one of our greatest players of the past season.

James M. Coleman, Jr., Dartmouth '46, 18-year-old freshman who earned a starting berth in midseason, developed into a fine guard, playing brilliantly against Pennsylvania and ruin'ing Princeton's hopes by his magnificent shooting. Not only did he hold his Tiger opponent in check during the entire four periods but he also led both teams in scoring, caging 8 baskets from the floor and one from the foul line for a total of 17 points. Coleman tallied 10 points against Cornell and 10 against Harvard, piling up a total of 89 for the season, a really remarkable performance for a youngster playing his first season of intercollegiate basketball.

Joseph E. Walthall, III, West Virginia

'4 5, was one of the highest scoring guards in the country, setting up a new college record

· of 378 points in 21 games for the splendid average of 18 per game He also equaled the college record by scoring 32 points in a single game and he established a new fieldbouse record by caging 30 points ag ainst Salem. Walthall, who led the great fresh· man team in scoring a year ago , finished far ahead of his mates during the last season , scoring 15 or more points in 16 games and failing on only one occasion to tally at least ten. His work for the entire season can best be appreciated by the following figures: 32 vs West Virg inia We sleya n

l van ia St at e

D vs Temple

Floyd Stark, West Virginia '45, a 6ft. 4 center of considerable promise, rolled up a total of 173 points, scoring 18 against Pitt; 18 against West Virginia Wesleyan ; 14 in a return game with the same school ; 12 against N.Y.U. ; 11 against Annapolis and 21 in the final contest with Salem. Stark and Walthall collaborated to total 51 points against Salem ; 46 against West Virginia Wesleyan; 4 3 against Pitt ; 32 against Bethany and 30 against N .Y.U.'s strong aggregation. Herbert A. Reaves, West Virginia '45, alternated at right forward all season, playing well at all times. Incidentally, Walthall, Stark and Reaves played together for two years at Greenbrier Military Academy and starred in 1942 on a Mountaineer freshman team that lost only one game, Walthall finishing first in scoring, Reaves placing 2nd and Stark not far behind.

At Bethany College in West Virginia, the varsity basketball roster re ad like the Beta chapter roll call, 4 members (including the captain) holding down regular positions and doing most of the scoring with 4 others

seeing service quite frequently. The team had a rather poor season due to the fact that its members were very young-freshman and sophomore for the most part-and also because the schedule was a rather difficult one When the youngsters finally defeated Alderson -Broaddus after a string of consecutive defe ats, the four Beta regulars tallied 46 of the 52 points scored. William C. Dunbaugh, ' 4 5, accounted for 17 points; Richard D . Miller, ' 46, tallied 15; Everett E. Stewart, ' 4 5, scored 10 and Capt. George W. Callendine, Jr., ' 43 , tossing in 4. Miller led the team in scoring, shaping up as a fine prospect for future years.

For the benefit of those who read our article in the March issue, we are publishing the summaries of the 23 games played by the championship Dartmouth team The Big Green won 20 and lost only 3, rolling up a total of 1,270 points of which we are proud to state that our 8 Beta representatives tallied 910, an average of almost 70%, which

is perhaps the most amazing performance in all Beta athletic history. The following statistics speak for themselves . Beta players made:

WooDEN OF PuRDUE ALL-TIME, ALL-AMERICAN SELECTION

John R. Wooden, Purdue '32, selected on the all-Big Ten Conference basketball teams of 1930, 1931 and 1932 and a popular choice for all-American honors in his junior and senior years, was recently chosen by the outst anding coaches of the country for a guard position on the all-time, all-American team This remarkable team, picked from players of the last 15 years, contains such famous performers as Luisetti of Stanford, Hyatt of Pittsburgh, Murphy of Purdue and the current sensation "Andy" Phillip of Illinois with Wooden rounding out the quintet. George Glamack, North Carolina '41 received honorable mention at center. '

After being chosen on 2 consecutive allInd ian a i nter schola stic teams, Wooden enter ed Purdue and in his sophomore year was immediately tabbed the best guard in the 3 years he was the highest sc onng gu ard m the league, .finishing 3rd

in Big Ten scoring in 1930 with 100 points, 3rd in 1931 with 97 and 1st in 1932 with a record-breaking total of 154 points in 12 games. Defensively he was a standout and as a dribbler he was considered one of the greatest ever seen in college ranks.

Although we hesitate to attempt a selection of any all-time, all-Beta team, yet we feel certain that any such group would have to contain such players as Wooden, unquestionably our greatest; Glamack; Baumhaltz, Ohio '41; George Williams, Missouri '21; "Vern" Huffman, Indiana '37 ; "Jim" Picken, Dartmouth '27; "Rollie" Williams Wisconsin '23; and "Bob" Doll, Colorado '42, all of whom were brilliant performers during their undergraduate days.

BETA WRESTLERS

Malcolm W. MacDonald, Purdue '43 (now at Annapolis), winner of the 1941 Missouri Valley 115-lb. championship and the 1942 Big Ten Conference 121-lb. title,

THREE WRESTLERS FROM LEHIGH AND ONE FROM RUTGERS

added the Eastern I.C.A.A. crown to his collection by winning a 15-4 decision over McConnell of Penn in the finals of the 1943 tournament held last March. Undefeated in 7 dual matches, MacDonald scored falls in many of his bouts, pinning Defenbaugh of Ohio State in 1:25 and tossing McConnell of Penn in 4:08. He. also won a decisive verdict over Ridenour of Penn State, twiCe Eastern I.C.A.A. champion. The former Tulsa, Okla., wrestler was of the outstanding stars on an undefeated team which won the Intercollegiate team title by a wide margin and his coach was none other , than Ray Swartz, Oklahoma State '29, a great Beta athlete in his undergraduate days.

Vincent T. Murray, Rutgers '44, successfully defended his Middle Atlantic States I.C.A.A. wrestling title, defeating all his rivals in the 165-lb. division. During the, regular season, he scored victories over ponents from Columbia, Brooklyn Poly and Lafayette, losing only to Princeton and to Wessman of Muhlenberg who defeated him on points, 8 to 7, in an overtime bout. At the Middle Atlantic tournament, Murray avenged one of his losses by defeating W essman, the New York A.A.U. title-holder, 5 to 4 in a gruelling, overtime match. He then proceeded to whip Smith of Swarthmore in the semi-final round and Rose of Haverford in the finals. The sturdy Rutgers

grappler, undoubtedly the finest ever to wear the Scarlet, is planning to enter the National A.A.U. tournament early in April. ·

When Frank Winter, Lehigh '45, entered the A.A.C. on February 16, the Engineers lost the greatest heavyweight wrestling prospect since the days of the famous Howell Scobey. Entering college from Mephan High in Long Island with a long list of championships to his credit, the most important of which was a New York State title, Winter proceeded to win four of his freshman bouts by falls and the other by the one-sided decision of 17-2. As a sophomore he made the varsity at once, throwing Harris of Syracuse in 1:40; winning a 13 to 3 verdict over Steele of Cornell and tossing Bochnicka of Indiana who outweighed him by more than 25 pounds. A splendid Beta, admired by the entire undergraduate body, Winter was paying his entire college expenses by working on the 3-11 shift at the Bethlehem Steel Co. How he ever managed to participate in athletics, carry a difficult schedule at the University with consistently good grades and work eight hours a day is somewhat of a mystery.

Moved up from the Junior Varsity team where he had already won 2 matches by falls, Turner Read Fulton, Lehigh '46, became a campus hero by clinching victories over the strong Pennsylvania and Penn State

teams on consecutive week-ends. With Penn boasting a record of 22 successive mat victories and leading by a score of 14 to 12, Fulton scored a sensational victory over an opponent who had defeated him in high school 4 years ago. His fall, which required 5 minutes and 59 seconds, enabled Lehigh to emerge triumphant 17 to 14. The following Saturday he threw Morgan, Penn State's crack heavyweight, after the latter had built up a lead of 6-0. Once again his victory enabled the Engineers to come from behind to win 18 to 11. Although he lost an 8 to 5 decision to the rugged Perantoni of Princeton, his ability to avoid a fall kept the Tigers from gaining a tie score in the final tabulations

Ted H. Niewenhous, Lehigh '45, hailed by coach "Billy" Sheridan as " one of the finest 155-lb grapplers I have ever handled," was called into service early in January before the indoor season got started and consequently never had the opportunity to match his skill against other intercollegiate wrestlers. Niewenhous formerly attended Wyoming Seminary where he made quite a name for himself in his favorite sport.

Pledge Robert DeLong of the Lehigh chapter won 6 bouts, drew in another and lost only one decision in dual competition last winter. Improving steadily, DeLong defeated opponents from Lafayette, Cornell, Indiana, Syracuse and Y ale, grappling to a draw with Barkovitch, Penn ' s clever blind wrestler. He lost a decision to Ridenour of Peon State, twice Eastern I.C.A.A. 128-lb. champion , but one week later threw Moore of Princeton , a fall which enabled the Engineers to win a close team verdict of 14-12 over the Tigers. DeLong was the highest scorer on the Lehigh squad , gaining a total of 28 points won and only 3 lost in 8 dual matches.

ILLINOIS RELAY CHAMPIONS

Joseph J. Shy, Jr., M issouri '43 , the 194 2 Big Six Conference 2 20-yard low hurdles champion, defeated a fast field of sprinters to win the Illinois Relay (University Divi-

sion) 70-yard dash in 7.3 seconds. His opponents included stars from Michigan, Wisconsin and Michigan State, as well as his own brilliant team mate, Joggerst of Missouri, who was clocked in 9.5 seconds in the finals of the 100-yard dash at the Conference meet a year ago. Shy also placed 3rd in a fast 70-yard low hurdle race. At the same meet Wayne J. Albers, Miami '44, woo the gold medal in the pole vault (College Division) with a leap of 13 ft. and William H. Evans, Miami '43, ran on a record-breaking 2-mile relay team. At the Purdue relays a few weeks later Albers again did 13 ft. to tie for 3rd place, and Evans ran on the victorious College Two-Mile and Distance Medley quartets.

Shy, captain of both the indoor and outdoor track teams, led his mates to victory at the annual Big Six Conference indoor championships, winning the 60-yard low hurdles in 6.9 seconds, which not only established a new meet record but also equalled the world's record made a few years ago by Wolcott of Rice and tied in 1942 by the Missouri leader in a dual meet with Nebraska. Shy also placed 3rd in the finals of the 60-yard dash Medill Gartiser, Miiiouri '46, a splendid freshman prospect, took 4th place in both hurdle races.

of a Senator, Brother Taft spends much of his time now at Washington as assistant federal director of Defense Health and Welfare Services. He pointed attention to the vast difficulties that American administrators confront as Yankee armed forces extend their theater of operations around the world. Africa, he said, is a training ground for the solution of problems that will arise on a · global scale as the war progresses-the problems of relief to individuals in occupied lands, of health, of civil government and economic control, of boundaries, of postwar settlements.

"A most serious problem that we must answer," said Taft, "is what we are to do about the Germans and J:ipanese after the war. Here is the key to the future of tlie world. These two peoples have been suffering from an inferiority complex. Frustration led to the terrific explosion of this second world war. The explosion will be repeated if the .situation is unaltered and two nations defeated in war rankle under frustration for another generation.

"It is essential that we plan for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Germany and Japan on some basis in which those peoples can share, in which they can contribute toward the shaping of their own future: If they are excluded from any share in their own reconstruction, we can only blame ourselves for creating a solid axis that will persist as the solid south has persisted for 80 years. For our own protection, we cannot allow frustration to weld tl].em into a solid axis that will again destroy world peace."

Turning to domestic problems, Taft told of the studies undertaken by the Twentieth Century Fund, of which he is a director; studies of the $125 billion American manufacturing plant and its reconversion to peace industries, and the matching up of its production with the 130,000,000 consumers; studies of urban blight, of security from the normal hazards of working life, and of the role of the risk-taker, the entrepreneur, in industrial progress.

In his talk he was able to give some interesting facts about the personalities of the men who make up the Combined Chiefs-ofStaff and about the way in which the group functions Concerning the Casablanca Conference, be could naturally give only the sidelights He told of the pleasures and difficulties of the trips to and from Casablanca and also gave an outline of the manner in which the sessions were scheduled and con-

BETA ANECDOTES-V

The story is told of how a member of Zet a Phi chapter a t Missouri, in 1909 , accompanied a University of Mi sso uri athletic team of which he was a member, to Fort Leavenworth , which is in Kansas and is about 160 miles west of Columbia, Mo., to play a team from the post. It was the spring of the year. The surroundings were most impressive. Uncle Sam 's largest and most imposing military reservation never looked more attractive. The young athlete was, in fact, enamored by what he saw on this trip.

During . social interchanges at the post, he was asked why he did not take up the army as a career? It was suggested, too, that he looked like a born soldier, being a man of striking physique and commanding appearance. Result: that ·. started him thinking seriously about such a course and when he was finally graduated, he went straight from the university into the Army.

Now, 34 years later, he is one of the le adi ng United States military leaders in World War II. His name is Major General Raymond Eliot Lee, Missouri '09.

A Year of Beta at Cornell

Last summer, for the first time in its history, the Beta House at Cornell was open and busy all summer, as fifteen men took accelerated pro· grams. Several improvement projects were completed during the summer. Selected trees from the backyard gorge were cut down to improve the view of Cayuga Lake, and the ceiling of the second floor hall was sound-proofed.

New economies in the kitchen, in the social program, and in general chapter management have helped fortify us for the coming trials. The sophomore gift funds for the classes of '43 and '44 were used to purchase $400 of war bonds. Purchase of war stamps admitted the campus to our fall dance. Many Betas signed up for blood bank donations, and for influenza research inoculations.

There were fewer home football games this

year, but the Be ta House opened its doors and dining room to visiting Betas on these occasions. Kenneth Hillas was lineman on the Jayvee's, while Thomas Nobis and Dale D assler were ends on the 150 lb. football team. Frank Cox won his letter by doing a fine job on the J ayvee team.

Prentice Cushing won the managership of the 150 lb. football team, and Clyde Loughridge was again leading cheers for the Big Red. Robert Douglass was also a football manager compet, but left school to join the Army Air Corp s.

Fall crew practice found Roy Hughes and Bud Lanning, J ohn Calhoun, and Theodore Sprague down at the boat house sweating for Cornell and Beta Delta H erbert Do an is on the J ayvee wrestling squad. R. N. ("Smoky") Adair, Richard Stacy, and Richard Schluederberg represented the chapter on the varsity track team. Harold _ Hille ary

The Snobirds of Lake Placid Intercollegiate Ski Meet beckoned Robert Edmunds, '42 (Chern. E ), who is on the ski team; and Hillas, who was goalie on the college all-star team.

Beta Delta has also been active in intramural sports, piling up a great number of points toward the intramural trophy, which will be awarded in May. Although the accent has been on sports,

ford and Robert Adair were l ater elec ted to Scabbard and Blade. Stew art Sail o r was el ected to the Freshman Governing Board.

December 13 marked the d ate of our f all initiation. Due to uncert a inties cau se d by the wa r, we initiated our freshm an cl ass at this time instead of in the spring . Arnold W.

other activities have claimed the interest of our members. Burger is editor-in-chief of the Cornell Widow, while Loughridge is managing editor of the Cornell Engineer Richard Koppe has been drawing cartoons for both the Widow and the Engineer . Hope Ritter and Loughridge were elected to Sphinx Hea d, senior honorary society Robert Murphy was chosen for membership in the Savage club . John McDougal was elected to Scabbard and Blade, and has also been serving as vice president of the Cornell Radio Guild Loughridge and Egbert were elected to T au Beta Pi. Incidentally, there are more Betas in Tau Beta Pi, Sphinx Head, Scabbard and Blade, and Atmos than there are members of any other one fraternity at Cornell. Kruse is president and Nobis vice president of Tau Beta Pi Loughridge is president of Atmos Murphy, William Pearson and Theodore Sprague are singing in the glee club. Alan Spaf-

Sailor, ' 07 , was to as tm as ter Th omas N obis spoke for the chapter, and Pa ul Christensen gave us the impressions of the initi a tes. Willi am Hinsch, Cincin nati '22, resp onded for the d ads. Norman Dakin, Center ' 30, spoke to us about our job here at Cornell. The address of the evening was gi ven by Dr. George M Sutton, B ethany '19, ornithology professor at Cornell.

The spring term found th e ch apter l os ing men rapidly to the Armed Forces Nearly all of our sophomores left with the Corn ell Air Corps Unit in March. Calvin Roper was el ected to succeed Thomas Nobis as ch apter pre sid ent. D onald Ehret will assist Cal as vice pres ident, and also take over the duties of rushing chairm an. Ray Teeleaven is the new secretary Prentice Cush ing was made house manager and tre asurer ; David Hopwood continues as ste ward; Paul Christensen is the new recorder

Rho Leads in Honoraries

The first two quarters of this school year have been highly successful for Rho chapter. On January 17, 19 4 3, the following 15 men were initiated: William E. -Barnes, Anthony R. Brookman, Edwin B Brown, III, Carl N. Davidson, II, Gene T. Dyer, Jr ., Roger Friskey, D aniel S. Gridley, Roy S. Lasswell, Thompson M. Lewis, William Q. Lundmark, John F. Putnam, Charles W. Stiehl, John H. Teeter, John A. Widmer and Raymond S. Woodard. Then on February 22, eight more pledges were initiated: Robert S. Baker, David M. Bellack, William E. Brink, Henry A. Kozlowski, Robert T. Lundy, Walter J Miller, John C. Wooden, Jr and Lawrence W. Zonsius, Jr.

Since rush week, the chapter has pledged the following men: Robert Bruce, William Harder, James Northrop, Peck, James Richards, Wesley Tennyson and Jack Wheeler.

At the end of the first quarter elections were held in which William Kemp was re-elected president, Allan Conwill was elected vice president, Charles Fifer was re-elected secretary, Jerry McAuliffe was elected recorder, and Rudolph Schmalz was held over as treasurer. Con will later resigned and Clarence Hasse was elected in his place.

As usual, the chapter has been highly active in extracurricular activities. President Kemp was secretary of the interfraternity council earlier this year, and was recently elected president of that important organization. Mac Wilson is secretary of the Senior commission. When new members of Purple Key, Sophomore men ' s honorary fraternity, were announced recently, Beta had three elected, John Forester, William Oren, and Ernst Beck, whereas no other group had more than two. Out of the 15 Junior men elected by the Junior class to Deru, four of them, William Kemp, Ron-

aid Trumble, Robert Jake, and Richard Brahm, were Betas, no other other fraternity having more than two.

Rho chapter also has men in many other activities. Gene Dyer and John Teeter write for the Daily Northwestern, Perry Winsberg is chairman of the social division at Scott Hall (Student union), while Anthony Brookman is co -chairman of the Scott Hall open houses. John Forester is space-manager of the Syllabus (year book). Rho's basketball team won first place in its intramural league but was defeated in the semi-finals by the team that finally won the tournament. The Beta freshmen won the freshman sing at the capscrapping ceremonies late in the second quarter.

Many men from Rho represent Northwestern on its various athletic teams: Hasse and Hudson on the football team, Hasse and Jake on the basketball, quintet, Trumble, McDonald, Schmalz, Brook, Kozlowski, and Lewis on the swimming team, and David James and Maurice Hofmeister on the track team.

The Mothers' Club, besides presenting the house with money for new victrola records and bringing about many improvements in the house itself, have put out a paper, Beta Stars and Strip es, for Rho members in the service.

Until the end of the second quarter, Rho had lost only eight men to the armed services-four in the draft, three in the Army Air Corps, and one in the Navy Air Corps. However, 13 men in the E.R.C. left at the close of the second quarter along with two more men who were drafted. Until the Navy reserves are called, Rho chapter of Beta Theta Pi expects to carry on in fine fashion at least to the end of this school year when the Navy will probably take Northwestern over completely.

Beta in the Lone Star State

Despite the fact that we have seen many of our men leave for the training camps, Beta Omicron has had a successful year which reached its high point when National President William W. D awson joined us for the initiation of Charles A. Black, Wichita, Kan . ; Albert L. Guidera, San Antonio ; William R Hodge, Thomas R. Humphrey and William A. Litchfield, Wichita Falls; Currie McCutcheon, Jr , Dallas; Thomas S Miller, Oklahoma City, Okla.; John T. Morrow, Houston; A Y. Olds, Crowell; Brandon Putnam, El Paso; John D Richardson, Austin; Robert G. Schleier and Michel F Smith, Houston

Our new rush captain, Glenn Mortimer, very

ably instituted the new idea of mid-year rush which ended in the pledging of Clifton R Davidson, Wichita Falls; Wilbur R. Reid, Fort Worth; Thomas R. White, Pittsburgh; William H . Bell, Wichita Falls; Clark G. Thompson, Houston ; John B. Cowden, Dallas, all of whom were first semester men on the campus.

Outstanding in intramurals this year were Jess A. Sanders and John H. Tubb, who won the University championship in tennis doubles. Lawrence Skelly won his way to the finals in handball singles. Paul B. Horton, leading us on our serenades, has done much to maintain the title of the "Singing Betas."

Scholastically we have advanced our standing as of this time last year and we are well above the all-University average. Two new initiates, Olds and Smith, made Phi Eta Sigma, Olds being the secretary-treasurer of that organization. Graham Coffman, '42, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in October.

We expect to attain the '"Gavin Standard" for the third consecutive year. House Manager John

Garner is to be commended for the fine way in which he has handled the difficult situa tion which a fire caused last month. Repairs are under way and we expect to reoccupy the house shortly The Beta spirit and ,i nterest shown in our chapter by the alumni and especially the help in rushing has been appreciated by the chapter.

We are happy to welcome Brother Frank Bateman of Oklahoma State as our new District Chief.

Gamma Omicron Wins Songfest

For the third successive year, Gamma Omicron has won the Interfraternity Songfest at the University of British Columbia. This year the annual festival was held on March 3, in the main hall of the Brock Memorial Building. Competing with the eleven other fraternities on the Campus, Gam-

spect the Betas have won: "How do you fellows manage to get all the singers every year?"

The selection sung this year by Gamma Omicron was The Beta Stars. However, there is a story behind the selection of this piece which is worthy of being related. For the past two years, the members of the song team presented the beautiful Loving Cup in four part harmony. However, this year the judges amended the rules by stating that no song could be sung twice in succession. This necessitated a revision of the plans of Gamma Omicron

One night after the regular chapter meeting, the song team was grouped around the piano singing several songs and discussing their value in being presented at a song festival. The most appropriate song was The Beta Stars, but unfortunately there was no second verse. So with a flash of genius, Robert Wallace sat down and in less than five minutes wrote a second verse to The Beta Stars. The following is the second verse as written by him and which was sung at the Annual Interfraternity Songfest:

•"When stars are shining, Gamma Omicron will meet tonight All friends together , we will Sing of Old Wooglin"s might , Our voices rising to the skies on high Blending our song in a Phi Kai Phi." "

SONG LEADER AT U.B.C.

Jack Carlile, Briti sh Columbia '43, who led Gamma Omicron to its third campus victory in three years.

rna Omicron's selection was the unanimous first ' choice of the judges.

As this is probably the most interesting and most anticipated gathering of the fraternity and sorority people during the year, British Columbia Betas are feeling exceptionally proud {)f their singing achievement this year. A typical but a casual remark was overheard after the results were announced, which reflects the admiration and re-

The leader and conductor of the Song Team for the past three years is Jack Carlile, and it is to him· the credit for the outstanding success of Gamma Omicron's singers' achievement should go, to a very large degree Of the original song winning team of three years ago only two members remain: Jack Carlile and George Hutchinson. Of the last year's team, four members shared this year's glory: James Chatwin, Charles Carncross, Douglas Jackson and Jack Sparks. Other than those members above, the remainder are new members initiated this year.

Alan Eyre was in charge of the arrangements for the Interfraternity Songfest, which was attended by more than 500 people. Beta Theta Pi is definitely the University of British Columbia's singing fraternity.

BETHANY

Recently Psi chapter has purchased a one-hundred dollar war bond which has been supplemented by a twenty-five dollar bond given to the chapter by the n ew initiates. Future chapter surpluses will also be invested in bonds.

Bethany College has been approved by the Navy for its V-12 college program and approximately 375 Navy men will arrive at Bethany in July. The Beta house, as well as the houses of the four

been called to active duty. Included in the group were Theodore P. Herrick, Jr., president, and Robert Hudson, treasurer. Their offices were filled by Robert B. Wright, now serving as acting president, and Byron Henderson, acting treasurer.

Completing a successful second semester rushing program Psi pledged six freshmen who will be eligible for initiation before the end of the current semester according to a new college ruling. The pledge class includes: Robert Dueker, Wheeling, W.Va .; Andrew Hare, West Alexander, Pa ; Edward Lewis, II, Verona, Pa.; Robert Stankey, Jr ., Detroit, Mich.; Edward Taylor, Jr., Wheeling, W.Va.; Charles Van Camp, Bellaire, Ohio.

BETHANY PLEDGES BUY BOND

A twenty-five dollar war bond was recently given to Psi chapter by its first semester pledge class. Replacing the u sual gift of cups, plaques, or house furnishings, the Bethany group preferred to make its investment in the post-war fraternity. The active chapter is adding to this gift with a continllous bond purchasing program. Sho wn above is pledge class president D onald Nixon, '46 (left center), presenting the bond to acti11g president Roberl Wright, 45 (right center).

other fraternities on the campus, is to be rented by the college for housing purposes. Arrangements are being made to store chapter properties and every effort is going to be made by the few remaining civilian Betas in school to keep the chapter active, in cooperation with the alumni. Approxim ately 200 man-hours were put in by actives and pledges in refinishing the downstairs of the house during April. All of the first floor rooms were repapered, woodwork was repainted, floors were refinished, and general improvements made . Most of these repairs were needed and will add to the attractiveness of the house when it "goes to war'· in the V-12 program.

Can't you hear Johnny Bazeley yelling "Song practice!" That went on for a month straight and for no little reason: We are once again the proud possessors of the Interfraternity Song Contest cup. It has been from our mantel for two years, but it's back now to stay. In addition to winning the song contest we were privileged to take part in the annual Case Home Concert under the direction of G. F. Strickling, North Dakota '27. It was a thrill to sing before a capacity audience of 2000 people. Open House followed the concert; everyone had a good time. The following day we had a get-together with "the folks"; the Betas furnished the singing, the Beta mothers furnished the food.

The latest events are in bowling and wrestling. The stars in Interfraternity wrestling are Bruce Burns, Bruce Reese, and Robert Hawkins They are up for the final matches and have a good chance of taking the wrestling cup. For all Betas moving to Cleveland for the Navy Training Program, don't forget to inquire about staying at 2111 Abington Road. (WAYNE E. BARRETT, JR., Secretary)

Beta Phi has recently had its chapter elections and among the officers elected were Dona.ld L. Cedarblade, president and Kenneth C . Heald, Jr., secretary. Beta Phi chapter can still be reached at the chapter house in Golden until the end of the month of April; at that time the army will in all probability take over the house (KENNETH C. HEALD, JR , Secr etary )

DEPAUW

Allen Hermeling has succeeded James Winning as president of Delta . Eighteen freshmen

were initiated at the end of the first semester, all of them being initiated earlier than usual because of the uncertain nature of the reserve programs. House finances continue to be in excellent condition, having shown a profit for the first semester as a result of increased chapter economy. This profit will be returned to the members. In January the annual Beta dinner dance was held. Every man in the house is now an active member.

On campus Betas continue to take an ac tive part in all college activities. In publicati ons, Allan Vestal is editor of the D ePauw and Fra nk Donaldson and Robert Reckman are city editors In scholarship Delta chapter again led all fr ate rnities. Don Harris and Allan Vestal were elected to Phi Beta Kappa and Willi am North and Ch arles Westfall made the freshman schol astic honorary, Phi Eta Sigma. Allan Vestal and Ro ber t Reckman teamed up to represent DePa uw in sen ior debate this season.

At the present time Delta is second in a close intramural race. Last year the h ouse lost th e intramural cup for the first time in four years and the chapter is making every effort to regain it. Robert Watson and Frank Donaldson are head intramural managers. (EARL CAPEHART, Secreta ry. )

Alpha Sigma chapter was very fortunate in selec;ting a fine pledge class of seven men who entered college in February. The new men are: John Harris, Camp Hill ; George W. Heffner and William A . McDonald, Pottsville; Edward Nailor and David- Rogers, Mechanicsburg; Gilman Wing and Edward Young, Carlisle

The chapter has been paying special attention to the thorough training of the new pledges in the history and traditions of Beta Theta Pi. We have been stressing Beta spirit and have been instructing them in the various duties and responsibilities in the chapter in the hopes that they will be adequately prepared to carry on and maintain the active chapter when the remaining upperclassmen are called into the service.

On April 3 and 4, William Gale, Paul Harris, Benjamin Collins, and William Keown attended the Northeastern Conference of Beta Theta Pi at the Yale chapter house. The Conference itself was a wonderful and truly worthwhile experience and many valuable suggestions were brought back by the delegates. (WILLIAM S KEOWN, Secretary)

Marlin Zimmerm an h as been elected president of Alpha Chi chapter to replace James Cant{ell, who has entered the Johns Hopkins medical school. Peter Kerwin was elected to fill Zimmerman's position as vice president, while Paul Kiefer was named rushing chairman . The Drago n award, given each year to the freshman outstanding in chapter efficiency, has been given to Horace Siegler. The February rushing season resulted in the pledging of B. Herold Griffith, Hackensack, N .J. and Clark Allan Whitehorn, Detroit, Mich. Griffith was recently elected treasurer of the new freshman class.

At the end of the winter sports season the Betas were in the lead in the computation of points for the Wittich trophy, awarded each year to the fraternity winning the largest number of points in interfraternity sports competition. Softball is the only sport yet to be played in the competition. (JAMES E. APPLEGATE, Secretary.)

LAWRENCE

Gamma Pi has enjoyed a splendid year, ending the first semester in first place in scholarship. We pledged a fine group of 21 men last fall, and with the group initiated in April, we have initiated 22 men. We have lost about 19 members to the service, but our house is still full, and we will end the year with several hundred dollars surplus which will be added to the surplus of last year.

The chapter has been well represented in all college activities. We have had the president of the student body, seven men were on the championship Mid-Western Conference football team· two of them , Carl Giordana and John Messinger: made the All-Beta football team. Other members have been on the school newspaper, in the various plays and other school activities.

Lawrence College has been selected for a Navy V-12 training program. Next year our fraternity houses in all probability will be taken over by the girls, but we will have no financial trouble in some way we hope to keep the chapte; ahve as we expect that most of our members in V-1, af!d V-7 will be permitted to complete their training here.

Our freshman class has been in the limelight of sports all ·year. William Pockrnan was one of the very few freshmen who played varsity football this year on a very successful Lehigh team. Donald Williams starred on the varsity basketball team until he left for the air corps in February. Don was on the New Jersey all-state team before he entered Lehigh, and he continued his fine record at college.

When Frank Winters was called to the air corps, Read Fulton, another freshman, stepped in to take over the heavyweight position on the wrestling team. George H. Casey, Bowd'()in '19, athletic editor of Bii>« Sii•a lli:, has prepared a story on Frank Winters and wrestling, so I will say nothing more about him except that he was one of the outstanding heavyweights in the East. Read did a fine job after Frank left and was a big factor in the team's undefeated season.

We have just recently pledged George Bleul, Robert Delong, and William Plunkett. "Bob" Delong wrestled all year on the varsity in the 128 pound class. He ended the season as being high scorer in points won for the team. Another Beta had the 15 5 pound position on the team until he was called into the Army. He was Theodore Niewenhous, who came with a fine prep school record. As is well known, wrestling is the big sport here at Lehigh and Beta Chi was quite proud to be so well represented on the team.

)

In the past two months, Alpha chapter has held several initiations in order that pledges leaving for armed service might be admitted to the "inner circle" before leaving . Among those men, we take pleasure in announcing the following new initiates: Samuel W Gadd, Druce P Henn, Glenn W. Kessler, John R. Kistler, Robert E. Landaker, Gordon R. MacPherson, Lowell E. Smith, Robert M. Spenceley and Richard A Walter

Officers for the coming year are: William F Fey, president; William E. Alderman, vice president; William ]. Robison, secretary; Charles E Carroll, treasurer; Robert D Crooks, recorder ; Wayne J Albers, Wayne W. Martin, co-rush chairmen; Gordon R. MacPherson, assistant rush chairman; Leo H . Less, house manager; Wayne J . Albers, pledge master; Richard H Raymond, sergeant-at-arms; William ]. Robison, alumni secretary; Richard C. Berry, Jr., social chairman; and William M. Summers, scholarship chairman

The chapter has maintained its good representation in Omicron Delta Kappa, with the admission of William E Alderman, William F. Fey,

and Charles D. Hess to membership. This brings the number of members to five, Wayne J. Albers and Edward E. Hale already being members. Albers, Jack Beneke, and Harry Magill have been elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, all three being juniors, and all three having a cumulative average of over 3.75 for three years. Alderman has been elected to membership in Sigma Gamma Epsilon, national geology honorary; Robert S. Knight to Psi Chi, national psychology honorary; Robert D. Crooks to Phi Sigma, national biological honorary; J. Robert Killpack to Beta Alpha Psi, national accounting honorary; Philip H . Girard to Sigma Pi .Sigma, national physics honorary; and William J. Robison to Delta Sigma Pi, international business professional fraternity.

Miami won second place in the college division of the Illinois Tech Relays, the largest indoor relays of the season, held recently at Chicago. The two-mile relay team, of which William H. Evans is a member, won first place, and established a new record for college competition. In the college division for pole vault, Wayne Albers won first place, vaulting 13 feet.

Recently, the chapter undertook to mail questionnaires to all its alumni in the desire to check its address files, and to determine how many alumni are not receiving the Bij-,;a Eni•a IIi:. At the present time, the returns have not been satisfactory; only 150 cards have been returned out of the original 450 which were mailed. We are hoping that those alumni who have not as yet returned these cards will do so without further delay in order that our files may be brought up to date.

MICHIGAN

For the first time in history, the University allowed mid-term initiations this year. This was done to make it possible for those men who faced induction in the armed services to become members of their respective fraternities. In line with this policy, Limbda held a formal initiation at the chapter house on January 9 At this 'time, Sherman Massingham, Jr., John Laursen, John Gault, Nelson McCoy, Richard Moon, Wayne Morse, Cameron Lombard, Robert Anderson, Hillary Williams, Ralston Hayden, Charles Telfer, Vance Kleinstiver, Paul Heinze Jr., William Hedges, Richard Tennis, Warren B. Holmes and John Shockley were initiated . The initiation was followed by a banquet at the Michigan Union. Sylvester V. Williams, Carnegie Te&h '21, one of the founders of Gamma Iota chapter, gave the principal speech. On February 27, a second initiation was held for Thomas Colvin, James Kerr, Robert Bennett, and William Teesdale. In midyear rushing, we pledged Richard Seitz, Harry Weidig, Craig Rowley, James Christman, Donald Davies, Richard Forstell and Harold Fletcher.

Jack Hooper, our former president, was elected president of the Interfraternity Council. He was forced to !eave both of these positions when he entered the Army with the E.R.C. At the present time, our officers are Douglas Burton, president, Robert Buel, house manager, Edward Adams, secretary, David McCalmont, pledge master, and John Laursen, archivist. The positions of recorder and sergeant-at-arms are open, due to George Snow and William Klingbeil, former office holders, being inducted into the Army.

Our chapter as most chapters, has been hit hard by the entrance of its members into the armed forces, 14 having left since the beginning of the semester, February 5, and a total of 34 having left since October. The house is still well-manned, however, and we expect to keep on a " going" basis until the end of . the year. (EDWARD B. ADAMS, Secretary)

NEBRASKA

Alpha Tau chapter began the 1942-43 term in a very propitious manner by pledging 25 fine men These, coupled with 37 returning actives, filled the house very satisfactorily, giving indications of a splendid year. The chapter entered intramurals with a great deal of zest, emerging with a second place in football, losing in the finals by a very close margin. However, we still have a

long way to go before we can be sure of retaining the intramural cup which has resided in our trophy case for two out of the last three years.

As is true elsewhere, the war effort has taken precedence over a great many of the usual campus activities, and Beta spirit was plainly evinced in the scrap drive in October. We accumulated 23 ton s of scrap between a Tuesday noon and the following Friday morning, topping all efforts of other fr ate rnities and we had a lot of fun doing it. Two trucks were furnished by the father of John Edwards.

Inasmuch as a distinguished member of Alpha Tau, Kenneth Wherry, ' 19, was running for the United States Senate, the chapter decided that it would be nice to have a smoker for him. Paul Dinnis, a senior, made the arrangements and it was our pleasure and privilege to entertain Senator Wherry and several other alumni a few days previous to his successful election. Recently Dinnis received a letter from Sen a tor Wherry which expressed his appreciation of our efforts and thanking us all for our activity on his behalf during the campaign.

Initi ation was held on January 16, 1943. It was a rather unusual event in that four Beta fathers were present to place their pins on their initiated

sons. Willard Folsom, '16, had the distinction of placing his pin on his third Beta son, Burt; Dorsey Howell, Beloit '11, on his second son, Richard; Arthur Smith, '10, on his son, Robert, and Richard Peters, Colorado Mines '22, on his son, Kenneth, while the older brother, Richard Peters, chapter president, looked on . Alpha Tau now proudly displays a service Bag with 90 blue stars and one gold star, the latter for Frank Stuart Lomax, '39, who was killed in action on the U.S S. Arizona at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. (JOHN PETERS, Secrelary.)

NORTH CAROLINA

Much time has elapsed since Eta chapter's las t report, but the group has not been inactive. On the contrary, Eta has been very much alive on the campus of North Carolina. Under the leadership of Robert Stockton, president, we have maintained our position of leadership of the campus. William Herr and Robert Otte led a very successful rush season We pledged eighteen boys in October, and five more in January

Eta is playing no small part in campus politics with Stockton as a candidate for vice president of the student body, and Karl Bishopric as the likely winner of the yearbook editorship. William

Sharkey was recently elected to the post of business manager of the school yearbook. John Markham W!LS elected to the presidency of the German club, while William Williamson was elected to the executive committee of the same group. The pledges are also getting off to a fine start by placing two men on the Honor Council. They are Edward Hipp and Guy Andrews.

Eta also has a fine array of athletes this year, and so far has won the intramural boxing crown, placed third in wrestling, and fourth in football. The basketball team, nicknamed by the school paper as "The Beautiful Betas," are undefeated in five starts.

Channing Highsmith, varsity football center, was chosen on the all-Southern football team, and was also voted the outstanding sophomore in Dixie by the Associated Press. (JAMES E. HOLMES, Secretary)

OKLAHOMA

Gamma Phi has had one of its most successful rushing seasons last fall in spite of the war, beginning the term with the pledging of 23 men, and pledging siJ.C more at the start of the second term. Members of Gamma Phi who have left for the service are: Harry Diamond, Cecil Hardeman, William Huckins, Earl Mitchel, Ross Coe, and Thomas Hedley. Thirty-eight of the 42 actives are now in the reserves.

The annual election of chapter officers was held on January 18: James Nickel, president; James Berry, vice president; Weaver Johnson, secretary;

John Baumert, treasurer; and Bion Action, corresponding secretary. (WEAVER JOHNSON, Secretary)

ST. LAWRENCE

At Beta Zeta's annual election of officers on March 29, Louis DeRitter became president; Donald Shakeshaft, vice president; Garth Kaufman, secretary; Richard Robins, recorder; Douglass Vanderbilt, house manager and steward; while Gordon Christie retained the office of treasurer. A formal initiation was held on March 15. The new members of W ooglin' s band are : Thomas Greene, Marshall Stoddard, Walter Weigel, Norton Wilcox, and Paul Wiley. All are freshmen.

For the third year, "Smokey Joe" Kistner leads the varsity mound squad. Other baseball candidates are John Williams, Thomas Greene and Harold Helfrich. Due to his professional status Lawrence Eschen is coaching assistant.

A recent Army Air Corps summons took Ridgely Saunders, Thomas Cashin, Robert Parker, William Parker, Guilford Forbes, Richard Donavan, Clayton Lovejoy, Joseph Gough, Norman Eaton and Peter Sala from our midst. To add to this, the Navy V-7 division called Fred Cannastra and Gerald Soule, seniors. The annual inter-fraternity and inter-sorority song festival has been cancelled in favor of a campus skit night. Last spring, Beta Zeta's champion glee club gained permanent possession of another trophy, signifying three consecutive years of song leadership at St. Lawrence. (LAWRENCE E. ESCHEN, President)

SOUTH DAKOTA

February saw six Gamma Alpha men leave with the graduating Senior R.O.T.C. class-two of the men, Robert N. Williams and Walter F. Flint, going to the Infantry Officers ' School at Ft. Benning, Ga .; Theodore W. Rabey going to Tank Destroyer School at Camp Hood, Tex.; Harlan J. Bushfield and Jay C. Swisher, going to Fort Knox, Ky., for officers' training in the Tank Corps; and Wayne A Carmody, awaiting call for the Marine Corps.

The induction of the Army Air Corps Reserve in February took Charles H Burke, Elgin S. Scobell , Gerald ]. Boyd, Stanley R. Sebring, and Russell F. Heikes, who are all taking basic training at Jefferson Barracks, Mo. Robert L. Royem, '45, is n ow entering his last year at West Point,

and Peter Johnson, '45, is a midshipman at Annapolis.

One of Gamma Alpha's most talented undergraduates, Kenneth Relf, attained a goal that he has long worked and dreamed of when he left in March of last year to work for Dr. Ernest Orlando Lawrence, Nobel prize winner and inventor of the cyclotron. Relf, a physics major, is doing research work in the radiation laboratory at the University of California, and also serving his country, since the research is secret defense work . He was graduated in absentia in June {JOSEPH TROTZIG, Secretary)

LAMBDA RHO MOTHERS CLUB AIDS THE CHAPTER

Stepping into the breach and aiding materially in helping to carry on chapter activities this year has been the Mothers Club of the Chicago chapter. Caught in the act of making new chapter robes are (left to right) Mrs. J. J. Berg er, vice president,' Mrs. 0 V. Mongerson, president,' John McBride, '44, chapter president,' Mrs. H. R.

supports the largest Air Crew Training program in any college in the United States. The influx of the Air Corps men has overshadowed campus life. The calling up of the reserves has left but few men to keep the chapter going; a task made more difficult because the brothers are forced to live in scattered rooming houses instead of our own fraternity house.

After second semester rushing we wish to announce the pledging of Kip Campbell and William Ryan, Syracuse, and Daniel Dobson, Rockville Center. On February 13, the chapter initiated: Joseph A. Edinger, Charles R. Reinhart, Charles G. Rogers, William B Gebbie, Robert B. Morris, John H. Grimm, Roger P . Kirkgasser, Frederick E. Mider, Donald L. Burton, Dean E. Helm, Charles N. Lee, Richard C. Legge, and John C. Naatz '

At the election of officers held recently, the following new officers have been elected: Gordon Cerow, Jr , president; Robert Hitchings, vice president; Wesley Daniels, treasurer; Roger Kirkgasser, secretary; and Roger Williams, Jr., recorder. (ROBERT G. HITCHINGS, Secretary)

TORONTO

In spite of the exigencies created by the present conflict, Theta Zeta has steadfastly maintained the high Beta standard on the Toronto campus . The tightening of wartime restrictions, the enlistment of members into the armed services, increased living costs and drastic university regulations, have all contributed to the burden carried by the chapter.

The opening of the present session found the Mystic Circle comprised of but nine members. · Although some of these were drafted for work en the western Canadian harvest, the morale of the chapter was so good that the most successful rushing season in the last decade resulted · in the present membership of 22 actives and three pledges.

One of the chief problems in recent years has been the somewhat deteriorated condition of the chapter house. A redecoration program carried on over the summer months remedied this shortcoming. This factor contributed no small share in success of the fall rushing. The affairs of the chapter generally are in excellent condition The house has been kept fairly full and all expenses pared to a minimum. Additional efforts have been made, notably to start up an interfraternity council, and to foster more relations between the students and the faculty.

The Canadian government has shown much foresight and common sense in its policy with regard to university students . Every university or college student is to be given the opportunity to complete his course if he shows sufficient skill and application . Failure of the students to satisfy this condition immediately renders them liable for

compulsory military or selective service. This has done much to impress the seriousness of the present situation upon the average student, and it has had a far reaching effect upon the fraternities Mter three years of conflict, the numerical and financial status of Theta Zeta is stronger than at any time during world war I. Thus we feel that the chapter will be able to remain open and function for the duration of the war (MALCOLM

WASHINGTON (ST. LOUIS)

February 2, heralded a mid-year Loving Cup Ceremony which was held by Alpha Iota chapter. After the school year concludes in June, all of the active chapter members, pledges, and alums, come who may, gather at the chapter house for a final meeting before summer vacations begin. This system is the procedure in normal times, but now that . a war is upon us, these plans must be altered. The Loving Cup Ceremony is held as such in order that the graduating seniors may have a chance to bid farewell to the chapter before leaving. Now that classes are graduating in January as well as in June, the Loving Cup is held biannually. Ten seniors departed from the chapter halls this winter to enter the services and defense positions. Many other undergraduates also left to their calls in the armed forces. This gross departure cut our active enrollment in half.

The new semester that resumed on February 10 brought a large mid-year rush class. Our chapter pledged 14 men who will be initiated some time in May. The men who were pledged are as follows: Robert Bartlett, Mayo Brown, William Dolson, Donald Teichman, Francis Gotay, Dee Herrick, Robert Kling , AI Lorch, William Love, Robert Lund, James Meyer, John Stitt, Henry Schmulbach and William Meyer Charles Georgie, who was pledged last fall, was initiated February 10.

This spring the Army is moying into the fraternity houses on the university campus as has already been the case at many other colleges. Our chapter house, as chosen by lots, was one of the first to be occupied. Most of our valuables were stored, some were sold to the Army, and chapter records will be filed and meetings will now be held at the home of Gurdon Black, '01. We, the active chapter, are going to stay alive even though our house and chapter ro om are io st. (SIDNEY ]. ADAMS, JR., Secretary)

WASHINGTON (SEATTLE)

Although many members of Beta Omega were called into service with the E R C. , approximately 40 will remain until June. Of the se 40 most are enlisted in the Naval or Marine res erves and will not be called for active duty until July 1. Robert Hoonan, senior in radio writing, was head of the Senior Radio Show, presenting Washington at

War. Robert Hass was recently appointed University Rally chairman, and will be chairman of the annual all-University Songfest to be in May, in which each organization on the campus enters a chorus The Beta Omega chorus won this contest last year and is sharpening up for a repeat performance.

Leo Rubstello, freshman dash Bash from Raymond, Wash ., is expected to win a big "W" on the varsity track squad. Gene Swanzey, senior half-miler who took a first in the Pacific Coast Conference last spring, will be back with the squad. William Gissberg , Nig Kafer and William Taylor are turning out for baseball. Kafer is a freshman from Lewiston, Idaho. Three members of Beta Omega played with the Husky Pacific Coast Champions in the National A.A.U. contests at Kansas City. William Gissberg, WilJiam Taylor and Robert Bird made the trip. Robert Trager, from Aberdeen, Wash., and Clem Akina, Honolulu, T.H., Beta frosh, made big "W" letters on the varsity swimming team. (QUENTIN R. KoENIG, Chapter Editor)

WASHINGTON AND LEE

Elected on February 10, 19 43 , officers to serve Alpha Rho for the current year are Lincoln Holtin, president; William Mowris, secretary; Addison Lanier, recorder; Chad Smith, rush chairman and alumni secretary; William Terry, ser-

M. Stone, vice president and treasurer; Charles L. Griswold, secretary; and Charles W. Snow, Jr , recorder and house manager. House affairs are at the present time in fairly good shape, our chief concern being the eating dub, which has suffered with the drop in membership. It is safe to say, however, that we wilJ not enter the tbird term this summer, with the finances "in the red."

WEST VIRGINIA

On January 10, twenty-nine men were initiated into Beta Psi chapter. The reason for the early 1ruhat10n was the war, which is taking many students out of colJege. Speakers at the initiation banquet were William Barnard, '18 and Edward Smith, '43. Toastmaster was Arch C. Dorsey, '24. Thomas Linger, '4 6, made a speech on behalf of the newly initiated men. Present were Professor A. M. Reese, Johns Hopkins '92, and Wayne Coombs, '15.

Among the initiated were a number of Beta relatives. Thomas Linger is the brother of Harry Linger, '43. Davisson Hardman has three Beta uncles who are alumni of Beta Psi chapter; they are ]. G . Davisson, '30, E. G. Davisson, '24, and William Wilson, '2 5. Edward Stansbury's father is Herbert Stansbury, '10, his brother is Charles Stansbury, '42, and cousins are Frederick Stansbury, '44, and Harry A. Stansbury, Jr., '40. Thomas Coombs is the son of Wayne Coombs, '15, and the brother of Davis Coombs, '37, and J. E. Coombs, '43. Ronald Thompson is the brother of Stephen Thompson, '44.

Second semester pledges are Harry Murray, Grafton, W.Va. and William McCutcheon, Chester, W.Va.

With the Army Officers' Traini ng Scho ol here on the Washington and Lee campus, Alpha Rho has extended the privilege to the officers of using the chapter facil ities any time during their stay here. We also have a limited number of officers boarding with us to fill in for the members who have left for the armed forces. (WILLIAM C. MoWRIS, Secr etary)

WESLEYAN

On March 31, at the annual meeting of Mu Epsilon chapter, the following officers were elected : John G. Williams, president; Charles

Benjamin Leeper, Robert Muffiy, Earl Reiley, William Barker, and William Barnard were recently taken into Fi Batar Cappar, mock fraternity. Eugene Corum and King Johnson were taken into Mountain, senior men's honorary. Ralph Wallace, Eugene Corum, and Robert Muffiy recently became members of Scabbard and Blade, military honorary. Quentin Barnette and William Barnard were in Who's Who Among American College Students. Edward Smith was initiated into Phi Beta Kappa, and William Barnard into Tau Beta Pi Guy Morris and Edward Smith are honor graduates of the military department. Joseph Walthall, Andrew Reaves and Floyd Stark played varsity basketball. Walthall broke the University scoring record for one season, and tied the records of the field house for one game, and the highest score on an opponent's Boor for one game The chapter, after getting off to a slow start, stands third in intramurals, and has a good chance of retaining the all-year cup, which it has won the past two years. (MICHAEL MOORE, Secretary)

WITTENBERG

The second semester of the school year for Alpha Gamma is now drawing to a close and an eventful year it has been. Athletically, the chapter placed nine men on varsity teams, besides winning the intramural tennis trophy and placing close seconds in several other events. Academically, the scholastic average of Alpha Gamma was raised five-tenths of a point over last year's average, and we hope that it may go even higher. Of course the armed services have taken their toll of manpower. There was a total of 26 men in the chapter in September, and now that figure has dropped down to 14 men. A large service flag was bought in honor of those men who represent our chapter in Uncle Sam's services and 54 stars have been placed on it. It hangs in front of the house where all can see it.

Many of our alumni who have ·visited the campus since the first of March are amazed at the changes it ' has undergone. The Army Air Force has moved in 700 men and in doing so have taken over both the men and women's dormitories, pi us two of the largest fraternity houses on the campus. Thus it has been necessary that the other fraternity houses shoulder the burden of housing the independent as well as the fraternity men.

The Betas have done their part. Eight men were moved into the chapter house and 18 others were

LET'S ALL EVOKE THE FACIAL RIPPLE-III

Smith, DePauw '27 , president of Willamette University at Salem, Oregon, recently had the experience of spending one full day as a college senior to pay off a bet\ with Robert · Hamilton, the president of the student body of that institution. "Prexy" Smith was pegged "a swell sport" by Willamette students when he appeared as "Joe College," wearing sports shirt and slacks, after the freshman class had placed last in the College Glee, an annual interclass song contest; he had picked the first-year men to win.

The 38-year-old university president was stumped when, as a student in Dean Chester F. Luther's "math" class, he was asked to add a batch of fractions, fellow students reported. Later, acting as student instructor, he didn't have quite so tough a time with Hamilton's swimming class. In fact, the students were the ones who had the tough time. "Herb," after proving his own prowess as a swimmer and diver, ordered the boys to top off their day's lesson by swimming the length of the pool-18 times! (GEORGE M. ToNER, Washington (Seattle) '25)

The Semi-Centennial at Miami

EDITOR's NoTE : One of the " Beta Stories" which Former Editor Gordon S. Smyth , Pennsylvania '18 , had projected for the columns of Bij-.a 8ij-.a ITt during the last year of his editorship was the telling of the story of the Semi-Centennial of Beta Theta Pi, by an eyewitness, Captain Wilbur John Greer, Miami '89.

In December, Captain Greer wrote as follows: "Some day I'll write a brief account of my Beta experiences at Miami over 50 years ago, including the Semi-Centennial banquet and the adoption of the Beta Rose , if you would care for such an article I must not put off too long as I am now the oldest living Miami Beta-owing largely to the fact that Miami's doors were closed fo r 12 years before 1885."

And then , three weeks later, Captain Greer suited words to the action and wrote: "In response to your request for a contribution to the Beta Lore column of Biju 8ij-.a ITt, in which I might record my recollections of the Semi -Centennial of the founding of the fraternity, I can do no better than to quote in toto an article whi ch I wrote for the June, 1889, issue of The Miami St udent, of which I was one of the ed itors , as follows :

The Semi·Centenni al of Beta Th eta Pi was cel ebrat ed in a fitting ma nn er a t " Old Miami, " Wedn esday , Jun e 19. Tuesd ay the Pink and Blu e were al ready quite prominent about the college

and on the streets, but Wednesday they were everywhere. Alumni members from Alpha and other chapters, as well as active members from other colleges, were present to do honor to the birthplace of their fraternity and sing its praises under the inspiring influence of the old University , which so well deserves the name of "Mother of Fraternities." The local chapter has looked forward to this event with a great deal of pleasure, and the active members feel that they are indeed fortunate in being members of Alpha chapter when she closed her first 50 years, and began her second half.century, and also in being members of so prosperous and progressive a fraternity.

Of the eight original Betas, two, John R. Knox, class '39, and Samuel Taylor Marshall, class '40, were present and lent cheer to the occasion The remaining three who are still living but were unable to be present are David Linton, Farlinville, Kan.; Thos. B. Gordon, Lexington , Ky.; and Ex-Gov. Chas . H. Hardin of Mexico, Missouri . Michael C. Ryan, Hamilton (Ohio); James G . Smith, Lebanon (Ohio), and John H . Duncan, Houston, Texas, are dead

The reunion began with a public meeting in the University ch apel at 10:30 A.M. The Hon. John W. H e rron, Alpha, cl as s ' 46, presided. Mter prayer by Rev Isaac M Hughes, of Richmond, Indiana, Dr. A . D . Hepburn delivered the address of welcome in a few well-chosen words. Mr. Herron then introduced Pres E D Warfield , who delivered the addre ss of welcome on behalf of Miami U ni ver sity. He said th at " Betas could not fail to h ave a deep regard for the welfare of Miami , and that f or that reason , if for no other, he mu st welcome them cordially to the birthplace of their f rat ernity "

Pater John Reily Knox, da.ss '39, was then introduced to the audience and greeted with tu -

multuous applause, for he is revered by every Beta and his face is familiar to all He began with a few humorous remarks and then told briefly the story of the founding of Beta Theta Pi. He said that every Beta should feel it his duty to aid "Old 1 Miami." He was pleased and sur-

Mr. Knox's definition meant "behind the barn ." Happily that time has passed away and now fraternities are recognized as a part of the college, and a very useful part, too. Mr Ma rshall wore a Beta pin which was presented to h i m by Hon . John W. Noble, Secretary of the Int er ior

HE SPOKE AT THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL BANQUET

Founder Samuel Taylor Marshall, Miami 1840, who was a featured speak er at the Banquet held in connectio n with the Semi-Centennial Celebration at Miami.

prised at the growth of the fraternity . When he, Marshall, and the rest of the founders were in college they had no idea of extension into other colleges, and nothing of that kind was done until about '42 or '43; now the fraternity has 63 chapters in different colleges and a total membership of over 6,000. Truly he and the other founders builded better than they knew.

He was followed by Samuel Taylor Marshall, class '40. M r. Marshall is a witty and pointed speaker whose · every word is listened to with the strictest attention. He said that the fraternity was founded under difficulties; the faculty was not favorable and the majority of the students were very hostile. Many meetings were held in the corn fields, or sub rosa, which he said according to

Major Rans om of Lansing ; Michigan, then made a pretty little speech He was introduced as the man who had written more about Beta Theta Pi than any other man and had attended nearly every Beta Convention.

Dr Thad Reamy then spoke of the fr a ternity and the kind of men who compose it. " The best fraternity man is physically, mentally and morally sound." He said that the fact that five out of the eight original Betas are still living shows the kind of stuff that Betas are made of He thought from the appearance of Knox and Marshall that they would see the Centennial even if they would have to be 120 years old to do it.

John I Covington, class '70, of New York, then read letters of regret from some of the distinguished

members of the fraternity, among which were the following: Hon. John W. Noble, Secretary of the Interior; Senator Matthew W. Quay; Dr. G. W. F Birch of New York; Gen. R. W. Smith of Chicago; James R. Carnahan, of Indianapolis; Hon Will Cumback , of Indianapolis; Senator A. S. Berry, of Newport, Ky.; Ex-Senator · Joe MacDonald of Indiana; Ex-Governor Charles H. Hardin (a founder}, of Missouri; Gov. D R. Francis of Missouri; Ex·Governor Hoadley, of New York City; Hon ]. ]. Pugsley of Hillsboro, Ohio; Hon. C. C Matson of Indiana; Hon. Carter B. Harrison, of Murfreesboro, Tenn . ; Hon. W. H. West, the "fluid orator"; Dr. Stephen C. Ayres, of Cincinnati; and Dr. ]. T. Whittaker, of Cincinnati; also letters of regret from undergraduates of other colleges who were unable to be present because of their own commencements.

At 4 P.M. the Betas were tendered a reception at the Western Female Seminary by the principal, Leila S. McKee, who was assisted by the faculty and senior class. The Betas who attended the Semi-Centennial will never forget Miss McKee and the Seminary or cease to pray for their continual and increasing prosperity. The Western Female Seminary will hereafter be mentioned by Betas with respect and admiration second only to that which they feel for Miami. The reception lasted until 6 o'clock.

The festivities closed with a banquet at 7:30 P.M., when about 80 Betas with their ladies and a few invited guests sat down to a scrumptious feast. The banquet was held in the old chapel which is now used as a museum. The room was beautifully decorated with pink and blue. John I. Covington was toastmaster and on each side of him sat one of the two founders of the fraternity who were present. At his left sat President Warfield, Calvin S. Brice, class '63, and a few other invited guests who probably tasted "dorg" for the first time in their lives.

The toasts were as follows: The Thirty-ninerJ, by Mr. S. T. Marshall, Keokuk, Iowa; Our Fraternity, by Major W. C. Ransom of Lansing, Mich.; The Board of DirectorI, by Hon. John W. Herron, of Cincinnati; Miami UniverJily, by President E. D. Warfield; American CollegeJ, by Dr. J. K. Patterson of Danville, Ky.; Alpha Delta Phi, by Oark Montgomery of Cincinnati; Phi Della Theta, by J, E. Morey, of Hamilton, Ohio; Delta Kappa EpJi/on, by Senator Calvin S. Brice of Lima, Ohio; Beta GiriJ, by Hon. D. W. McClung of Cincinnati; Wooglin, by Col. H. C. Warren, of Louisville, Ky.; and Beta Centennial, by ]. Reily Knox, of Greenville, Ohio.

The most pleasing event of the day was when Mrs. Dr. Hepburn arose and announced that the fraternit}· had chosen a floral emblem. That em-

blem was the rose; Mrs. Hepburn, her daughter, Miss Etta Hepburn, and Miss McKee had chosen it. Mrs. Hepburn had three roses with her, which she presented to Mr. Covington, who gave one to Mr. Marshall and one to Mr. Knox, in order that they might manifest their approval of the choice. The other he kept for himself as officially representing the fraternity The next regular convention will no doubt formally adopt the rose as the fraternity flower. Each chapter will be asked to select some species of the rose for a chapter symbol, and Messrs. Chas. W. Hepburn, Frank M Joyce and Geo. Benedict were appointed a committee to notify the chapters of the actions taken .

The bush which furnished the first Beta rose grows by the front porch of the Western Female Seminary. No other fraternity possesses such an emblem.

Mr Covington then declared the Semi-Centennial closed. Happy, indeed, are the Betas who were fortunate enough to be present.

The banquet was served by Lloyd Johnson, of Cincinnati, the University Club caterer.

"That is the article, just as I wrote it. It might be appropriate to make a few remarks concerning it. For instance, I wonder whether Betas generally know that Mrs. Hepburn, who, with her daughter, Miss Etta, and Miss McKee selected the rose as the first Beta (or fraternity) floral emblem, was a daughter of William H. McGuffey, author of the famous McGuffey readers, or that John W. Herron was the father-in-law of the late President Taft?

"When Dr. Thad. Reamy said that he believed that Knox and Marshall would live to see the Centennial of the fraternity, the thought came to me that I really might have that privilege. And so I did, for I was present on August 8, 1939 with my Beta brother, Carl R. Greer, Miami '94, of Hamilton, Ohio, and my Beta son, Thomas L. Greer, Miami '21, of Barrington, 111. So my cup of joy lacked only the presence of my Beta wife, born and raised in the home town of Pater Knox, Greenville, Ohio, and who was unable to be with us at that time.

"It has been a pleasure to me to record these bits of Beta lore, and I hope that they may bring some pleasure and inspiration to present and future followers of Wooglin."

Frank 0. Lowden

In 1920, in almost every Beta chapter house in the nation was a picture of FRANK ORREN LoWDEN, Iowa '85, and under it the words "A Beta for President." By a quirk of fate, this great American and great Beta who died March 20, 1943 at the age of 82, never became President. First, the Republican nomination in 1920 went to a man from Ohio named Harding. Then Lowden was offered the place of vice president on-.__the ticket, which he refused. This offer was eagerly accepted by Calvin Coolidge and the rest is history. '

Although he never reached the White House, this fact fails to dim the brilliance of a career that is an inspiration to every American and especially to every member of the fraternity to which he was ever loyal. In Illinois history he will be remembered as its greatest governor. He will be remembered for his many contributions to jurisprudence as a noted lawyer. Problems of prison reform, agriculture-with special emphasis on cooperative marketing and good roads as measures of farm relief-were his special domain. And the workings of the intricate machinery that makes a democracy function will long feel the effects of his guiding hand. It is significant that in his will he bequeathed 21,000 acres of Arkansas farm land to be used for the betterment of tenant farmers.

Lowden became a member of Beta Theta Pi in the '80s at the University of Iowa For more than 60 years he remained a devoted member of the fraternity and any Beta, whether stranger or old classmate, who stopped at his famous SinnisFarm on the Rock River, near Oregon, Ill.,

received a royal welcome. Until his health failed he held open house on Homecoming Weekend for Betas returning to Chi chapter at Beloit College, not far up the Rock River from Sinnissippi.

With Mrs. Lowde11. This picture was taken in Chandler, Ariz., in 1935, while they were on a vacation trip.

More than one troubled Beta has left Sinnissippi Farm after these gatherings with new courage to fight his battle.

He was graduated from the University of Iowa

in 1885 as valedictorian. Later he studied law in Chicago, and soon became one of the prominent young lawyers of the city. One of his law partners for many years was Brode B Davis Iowa '89, Michigan '90, brother of Charles P. Davis, Michigan '96; later, Gordon A. Ramsey, Northwestern '96, was also a law partner. In 1898 be dosed the doors of his law office to take up arms in the Spanish-American War as a lieutenantcolonel of the First Illinois Infantry. He left his young wife whom he had married two years before, the late Florence Pullman Lowden, daughter of the sleeping car manufacturer.

Lowden campaigned for McKinley in 1896 and lent his oratory to the litany of the "full dinner pail." He was one of the Illinois delegation to the Republican National convention in 1900 and 1904 and was named national committeeman, a position he held through 1912. Meanwhile, he was elected to Congress from the 13th Illinois District. In Congress he helped put through the income tax amendment and supported farm and labor bills. He was elected governor of Illinois in 1916 and made a notable record as its war governor. His record catapulted him to national fame and national politics. On Governor Lowden's cabinet was the beloved Beta president, Francis W. Shepardson, Denison '82, Brown '83, as director of registration and education . Lowden was a devoted admirer of Dr. Shepardson; in a letter to Assistant General Secretary Frank G. Ensign, Beloit '00, written July 16, 1940, he said: "What a great life it was that "Shep" lived! His inRuence over young men not only of our fraternity but of all fraternities was one of the .finest things I have ever known in my long life."

His last active political campaign was in support of Harding for President, the man who defeated him for the nomination in 1920. Here again, Lowden demonstrated the loyalty that characterized his entire life. But after the campaign he returned to his beloved Sinnissippi Farm.

There he bred blooded cattle, produced .fine field crops and conducted soil and plant experiments . Only once was be tempted to leave the farm That was an offer by President Coolidge to make him ambassador to the Court of St. James. Lowden's three daughters-now Mrs . Albert F . Madlener, Jr. and Mrs. Philip Miller of Chicago, and Mrs . Frederick Wierdsma of New York-were then of debutante age. He knew what the appointment would mean to them and he gave them the decision to make. They voted it down, knowing how he loathed to leave Sinnissippi Farm. Other high positions which he has refused were first assistant Post Master General, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Navy (offered by Harding), and adviser on President Roosevelt's farm commission ( 1933) He also refused the nomination for vice president on President Coolidge's ticket. Lowden probably turned down more offers for high positions and honors of all kinds than any American in history. Recently, he said: "I have regretted none of these decisions."

Honors heaped upon him by universities include the honorary degree of LL.D. from his alma mater, the University of Iowa, and also from Knox College, Northwestern University, University of Chicago, Unive1sity of Colorado, Lafayette College, William and Mary College, Miami University and Washington and Lee University Syracuse University gave him an honorary doctorate in civil law. His many business activities included the presidency of the Pullman National bank, a directorship of the National bank of the Republic in Chicago and membership on the executive committee of the National Biscuit Co He was one of the organizers of the American Radiator Co. Aside from the three daughters, he is survived by a son, Pullman, of California and Arizona, and four sisters. The name of this loyal Beta and truly great American will .find lasting remembrance on the Great Memorial Roll of the Baird Fund, of which he was one of the earliest members.

Lucius R. Eastman

Beta Theta Pi lost a shining exemplar when Luaus RooT EASTMAN, Amherst '95, died at his home, Axonwold, Scarsdale, N.Y., on March 14, 1943. The Eastman family is one of the most outstanding Beta groups in the fraternity. The Catalogue lists ten members of that name as initiates of Beta Iota chapter, and all of them have made very distinctive places in the professions and business and councils of the nation. Lucius East-

Dartmouth '95

man was known not only as a lawyer, but as the head of a great food manufacturing con-

cern. He also was outstanding as chairman of the American Arbitration association, of which he had been president from 1926 to 1938, and chairman of the board since that time. The association arbitrates commercial and other disputes and maintains several tribunals for that purpose. Indeed, it has the facilities in 1650 commercial centers in

the country to arbitrate and all of them are run on a non-profit basis.

When the New York tribunal was founded in 1929, President Hoover, in a message to the group, said that " arbitration, in the place of avoidable litigation, increases business efficiency and permits good will and mutual confidence. " For the five years following 1928, Eastman was American representative on the Economic Committee of the League of Nations in Geneva, and he also served as a member of the executive committee of the American Section of the International Chamber of Commerce.

He started his career as a lawyer. Born in Framingham, Mass., July 29, 1874, the son of Lucius Root and Rebecca Porter Crane Eastman, he attended the public schools of the town and was graduated 'w ith honors from Amherst in 1S95. He was a fellow classmate of the l a te Senator Dwight W. Morrow, Amherst '95. He received the degree of LL.B. from Boston University in 1898, and practiced law in Boston until 1906. At that tim e, through family relationships, he was made president of Hills Co , prominent food manufacturers of New York, and

served as president until 1938, since which time he had been chairman of the board.

His activities were widespread. An outstanding member of the Merchants Association of New York since 1920, he was president for four years from 1924 He had been a trustee of Amherst College since 1931; was president for four years of the Congregational Board of Ministerial Relief, and for two years was president of the Amherst College Alumni association He was also a trustee of the Hartford Foundation and the Museum of Science and Industry of New York, the public director of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, and a member of the executive committee to Study the Organization of Peace. One of his closest friends for the last 35 years was Owen D. Young, St Lawrence '94, also a national and international figure and also a Beta father.

He is survived by his wife, the former Eva Hills; a daughter, Mrs. Paul C. French, and a son, Lucius Root Eastman, III, Amherst '34, vice president of the Hills Brothers Co., besides his other Beta relatives. A loyal member of the Baird Fund, his name will find lasting remembrance on the Great Memorial Roll of the Fraternity.

" Max " Babb came into nationd prominence in his work for and with the Allis-Chalmers Co. of Milwaukee. His connection with this great industrial organization began with his appointment in 1904 as office counsel. In 1910 he became sole vice president and then in 1932 was elevated to the presidency. In February of 1941, organized labor abruptly placed before him the issue of unionization vs. Allis-Chalmers-U. S. Army Commitments. Throughout this long, bitter strike it was said of Babb that "his decisions were never without fairness and justice to all parties to the dispute."

He came out of that titanic struggle with im-

paired health and at the time of his death was Chairman of the Board of Directors. His unusual executive abilities drew him far afield: three terms as a director in the United States Chamber of Commerce; director of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co .; director of the Federal Reserve Bank at Chicago; director of the Wisconsin Bell Telephone Co.; director of the Cutler-Hammer Co.; trustee of Downer College His LL.D . came from Iowa Wesleyan.

Harry Einhouse (DR. JOHN HARRY EINHOUSE, Idaho '17) is gone at the age of forty-eight. This ' announcement will come as a shock to many Betas who knew his massive, sturdy figure and breezy, cheerful manner. Early in ·the morning of March 15 he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage from which he did not recover consciousness. Dr Einhouse had a host of friends, and the floral tributes at his funeral were many and beautiful. The Masonic services at the chapel and at the cemetery were conducted by his old friend and teacher, Dean J. G. Eldridge. The officers of Gamma Gamma chapter attended in a body and only the lack of adequate space kept the entire active membership from being present. It was a most fortunate circumstance that it was possible for his two sons to be present from the Army and Navy, respectively.

Dr. Einhouse was born November 27, 1894, at Gates, Ore. After receiving his B.S. degree at Idaho, he chose Louisville, Ky., Medical School for his training in medicine, getting his M.D. from there in 1921.

Every summer he spent much time from his busy professional life attending to the endless details of repair and upkeep of the house. As an undergraduate he served efficiently as house manager; he also organized the other campus house managers into the first cooperative buying association. It was characteristic of him that at the time of his sudden death every business detail, including the signing of his income tax returns, had been attended to.

Flynn's parents came to this country from Ireland to escape the famine and the political upheavals in the early 1840 ' s. From this back-

ground the son took a keen interest in Irish history and politics, and also made a thorough study of American history and politics. He was much interested in the labor movement He is survived by three daughters, Miss Elizabeth Gurley Flynn; Anna Katherine Flynn; and Mrs . Evelyn Felton, and seven grandchildren (H S.B )

Few Americans have done more for their fellow countrymen across the sea than Mn.LARD KING SHALER, Kansas '01, who died on December 11, 1942 at Cape Town, South Africa. Perhaps no American has better personified, in a serious an'd dignified manner, "The Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.'' Here was a man of simple background, who gained world wide recognition for his "good neighbor" policy long years before the man on the street realized the meaning and need for such a policy in international relations. Shaler, known as "Doc" by his hosts of friends here and abroad, took a position in 1907 with the Forestiere Et Miniere, a company acting under control of the Belgium government for the development of resources of the Congo in Africa. He started as a geologist for the company and soon rose to the position of chief engineer in a survey of the Congo and development of mines.

When the first World War came in 1914, he was instrumental in establishing the BelgiumAmerican food agency with Herbert Hoover, whom Shaler long admired, as its head. As First Assistant to Hoover, he took charge of all the details, assisted to a large extent by Rhodes scholars who were then students at Oxford University It is little wonder, then, that Millard King Shaler, a native of Kansas, was advanced to Commander of the Order of Leopold by the Belgium King and also received the highest decoration of the French Legion of Honor. He is survived by his widow, a son, Amos, of South Africa, and a daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Shaler Brouha, of Cambridge, Mass. (EARLE W. MuRRAY, Kansas ' 03)

He had been commissioned captain in the Army Air Corps and reported for duty August 9, 1942, at Miami Beach, Fla. While in training he received an injury to his back while playing softball, apparently damaging his kidney. An operation revealed a malignant growth on his kidney, and death followed. As an undergraduate, he was captain of the University of Illinois golf team and when 19 he won the Indiana amateur title In 1921 he was both amateur and open champion of Indiana. He left the Illinois chapter in his junior year to enter service in World War I, in the air corps, serving in France. He is survived by his widow and five

children: John, a student at Purdue, pledged Beta there; Dorothy, William, Stewart, and Wilbur.

At the outbreak of World War I he enlisted in the Air Corps, received his commission as a Lieutenant and was stationed at Rockwell Field, Calif.

With the end of the war he entered the automobile business and for the greater part of his life, since then, he had been employed by the Parkard Motor Car Co. of Chicago.
