Dr. Summey is 83 years old.

The Spirit IXTY-NINE years and six months ago, I went through the initial memories of Pi Kappa Alpha and its mysteries as well, so that I feel I am entitled to count myself, next to William Alexander, the of Youth only living Founder of the Fraternity, the next oldest living. And yet I think I am the youngest in life and vigor, and after all these years I attribute this life and vigor to my determination to carry 1n IIKA out and put into practice the faithfulness and truth that are the corner­ stones of our glorious Fraternity. Another reason to which I attribute my vigor and youth, being as fit for work as I was 40 or 50 years ago, is the fact that I have been in contact with our beloved brethren all the time. The first step I took ten years ago, over at Austin, Texas, to my present Chair of Theology in Austin Seminary, was to make myself known to the boys in the University of Texas, and I wish you could have seen the won­ derful cordiality they displayed, how lovingly Beta-Mu welcomed the old man of TTKA. The constant association I have had with the young men, and that I renew and make anew constantly over yonder in the University of Texas, in beloved Beta-Mu, is the thing, I believe, to which I may attribute the fact that God has spared my life now sixty-seven and a half years in Pi­ Kappa-Alphaism, to bless me and to endeavor to make me a blessing to others. -Dr. George Summey, Beta, at the New Orleans Convention in September, 1936
