rfHFJ DELTASIG, official magazine of the International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi, professional fraternity in the field of commerce and business administration, is published quarterly in the months of November, January, March and May. Neither the Editor nor the Board of Directors is necessarily in sympathy with any of the opinions expressed in TnB DELTASIO. We feel that one of the most important mi ssions of a fraternity magazine is to cause the members to think about themselves; thought being the chief deairedation, authors are somtimes solicited for expressions of opinions in the feeling that their opinions are wrong, but likely to at.imulate argument. M8D1bers of the fraternity are invited tO contribute special articles on business and fraternity topica, and news items, concerning alumni.

;157 The Delta Sigma Pi Phonograph Record

HROUGH arrangements with the Columbia Phonograph Com­ T pany of New York City, we have had two of the most popular of our fraternity songs recorded by Ben Selvin and his Orchestra, a well known New York dance orchestra, and this record is now offered for sale exclusively through The Central Office of Delta Sigma Pi. We have been very fortunate in securing · unusually good or­ chestrations for both of these numbers; both are played in dance tempo, with vocal refrain. Yours Fraternally in Delta Sigma Pi is to fox-trot time on one side ; while Rose of Deltasig is to waltz time, on the other side. We cannot say too much about this record; both recordings are par excellence! Nevertheless, if you have a phonograph in your home you will want one of these records; and if you haven 't a phonograph, it will be worth your while to purchase one just to pla y this record-no foolin '.

HE PLACE to take the true measure of a T man is not the forum or the field, not the market place or the amen corner, but at his own fireside. There he lays aside his mask and you may judge whether he is imp or angel, king or cur, hero or humbug. I care not what the world says of him; whether it crown hiin with bay, or pelt him with bad eggs; I care never a copper what his reputation or religion may be; if his babes dread his homecoming and his better half has to swallow her heart every time she has to ask him for a five-dollar bill, he's a fraud of the first water, even though he prays night and morn till he's black in the face, and howls halle­ lujah till he shakes the eternal hills. But if his children rush to the front gate to greet him, and love's own sunshine illuminates the face of his wife when she hears his footfall, you may take it for granted that he is true gold, for his home 's a heaven, and the humbug never gets that near the great white throne of God. I can forgive much in that fellow mortal who would rather make men swear than women weep; who would rather have the hate of the whole he-world than the contempt of his wife; who would rather call anger to the eyes of a king than fear to the face of a child. -WILLIAM COWPER BRANN.
