PACKER 1603 LAW e FINANC E BUILDI NO PITTSOU RGH, PENNSYLVANI A May 6, 1948. To the National_Officers, District Presidents, and Delegates of the Active and Alumni Chapters of Pi Kappa Alpha. Dear Brothers:- Your Supreme Council, in accordance with authority vested in~t in Article IV, Section 4, ha·s fixed the Hotel Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, as the place, and 9 A. Y.. (Salt Lake City time) August 16, 1948, as the time for the convening of the National Convention of Pi Kappa Alpha. Every effort of your national and district officers and of the active and alumni members of the fraternity in Utah is being expended to make this a profitable, instructive and enjoyable convention. It is our fond desire that this convention will be widely attended b,y many active and alumni delegates, as well as guests and wives and friends of our members. Our fraternity is also planning a Chapter Officers School to be held at the Fort Douglas Barracks, adjacent to the University of Utah, the opening meeting of this school to be held in the Student Union Building Ball Room of the University of Utah, at 9 A. Y.. (Salt Lake City time) on August 13, 1948. We feel certain that this school can do much to raise the standards of the operation of our chapters, and we are hoping that each chapter, through the use of community cars, will send at least two and possibly more from each of our active chapters. The school will be a participating one, and your future national officers we feel sure will glean much instruction from the undergraduate active members who we know will come there prepared to seriously participate in the activities of this school. This official call is issued in accordance with the authority contained in Article V, Section 2.
