JANUARY, 1936
Three Decades
M ARCH 17, 1936, marks the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of Phi Kappa Tau. In the three decades which have passed since our four Honored Founders gathered in Old Main Building at Miami University great changes have been wrought in American educational institution s. College enrollment today is more than five times that of 1900; most college buildings have been constructed since L900; the course of study in 1936 is vastly different than that of a third of a century ago. Despite these changes, Phi T aus jealously cling to the Founders' ideals, which have made possible moral, spiritual, and social development of more than eight thousand men. Through the efforts of the Honored Founders and those who have followed, Phi Kappa Tau for thirty years has been a constructive adjunct to the system of education. If Phi Kappa T au is to continue an enduring part of American colleges and universities it must stand definitely and in a four-square fashion for the real objectives of the Fraternity. It must put scholarship above every phase of college I if c. It must emphasize the ideals which arouse valiant emotions, stir potential talents. It must encourage genuine culture, clean-cut living, clear business integrity. It must develop sympathetic understanding, provide a helping hand in times :lf need. It must foster wholesome fellowship, create endw·ing friendships. It must stand for sound fin ance, conservative growth, and the firm conviction that a fraternity should lead men rather than be led by them. By sincere devotion to these principles will Phi Kappa T au honor Brothers Shideler, D ouglas, Borradaile and Boyd, who established Phi Kappa T au three decades ago. - 3 - College Fraternity • • • A Character - Builder

President Roland W . Maxwell, Coun· cillor P aul T. Gantt, and Secretary Richard ]. Young were Phi Kappa Tau representatives.
Answering the question, "H ow can we vitali:e our fraternity life and make the fraternity more useful to the college," Dr. H enry M . Wriston, president of Lawrence College, in a stirring address recommended "an audit of experience" to prove the value of the fraternity. He declared that the college fraternity had made an mvalu,thle contribution w the American educational system and was a force for great gootl.
