The Grand President•s Page A T THE MID-POINT between Baltimore and Dallas it might be well to pause a moment and reflect upon the activities of the pa.st scho?l year. I. wish there were some way to share with each of you the many mterestmg expenences I have had during these winter months. It has been a real privilege for me to attend the installation of four new chapters: in October, Gamma Kappa Chapter at Michigan State College; in December, Gamma Lambda at Florida State University, and Gamma Mu at Tulane University; in March, Gamma Nu at Wake Forest College. Before the school year is over there will be still another jewel added to the crown of Delta Sigma Pi, Gamma Xi Chapter at the University of Santa Clara. The men who came to us in these ceremonies are all outstanding students in excellent schools, and they will be valuable members. Of equal importance has been the reactivation of five chapters; Upsilon at the University of Illinois, Sigma at the University of Utah, Phi at the Uni­ versity of Southern California, Rho at the University of California, and Eta at the University of Kentucky. Our active chapter roll now stands at sixty-nine. These things do not just happen. Past Grand President Fowler and his pred­ ecessors are entitled to much credit for the momentum they developed. Much of our growth is due to the ceaseless drive of Grand Secretary-Treasurer Wright, WALTER C. SEHM, Minnesota and his efficient Central Office staff, especially Assistant Grand Secretary-Treas­ Grand President of Delta Sigma Pi urer Jim Thomson. Delta Sigma Pi is most fortunate in having had Gig Wright as its sparkplug for the last 25 years. I am sure most of our members do not realize, because they have not had the opportunity to observe the work he is doing, just how much "Gig" has done for us and for professional fraternities generally. It was my pleasure to attend the Professional Interfraternity Conference in Chicago on March 29 when the work done by our own Grand Secretary­ Treasurer in that organization since 1928 was publicly acknowledged. He has made real contributions to the establish­ merit of professional fraternity standards in the United States, and in the advancement of professional fraternities to their present status and acceptance. In recognition of these 25 years of loyal service, the Grand Council at Baltimore created for and presented our Grand Secretary-Treasurer with a special citation "for outstanding service to the-fraternity 'above and beyond the call of duty'." It is at this moment too early to evaluate the work of the five Regional Meetings held this Spring. Their proceedings will be reported fully in the November issue of THE DELTASIG. It has been my good fortune to attend four of those meetings: first the Eastern at Washington under the able direction of Grand Council Member Feltham; next the Mid­ western at Lincoln, Nebraska sparkplugged by Grand Council Member Lucas; then the Southwestern at Dallas driven by Grand Council Member Merrick; and finally the Central at Chicago under the tutelage of Grand Council Member Mee. Conflicting dates prevented my attending the Southeastern at Atlanta. It was evident at each of these meetings, from the widespread attendance and enthusiastic interest, that the whole idea of such Regional Meetings is an excellent one and will be highly productive of results in the exchange of ideas and development of wider fraternal interest. The success of these meetings already insures the success of the Grand Chapter Congress in Dallas in '51. The fraternal spirit of Delta Sigma Pi is born in the active chapter, but it grows to maturity and lives over the years in the alumni clubs. The real opportunity to be of service lies with the alumni. Twenty-five of such clubs are formally organized and recognized in various parts of the United States, and a great many more are operating informally. 'Fhere are a considerable number in the process of formal organization. There may be still some communities where the number of our brothers has been comparatively small and there is no opportunity for regular alumni association. If you live in such a community, look around. You will probably be surprised to find more Deltasigs there than you suspect. You will find association with these individuals to be stimulating and profitable in many ways. Take advantage of these oppor­ tunities for your own sake as well as for the over all good of Delta Sigma Pi. * * * * 0 F D E L T A 5 . 1 G M A p ·I

A minor of 18 hours may be obtained in business administration by majors in other fields of en­ deavor. In both cases one-half of the work must be taken in upper division courses.

The History of Beta Tau The establishing of the School of Business Administration at Wake Forest College brought about the need of an organization in which students of the School of Business Administration would have a common interest. On December 8, 1948, a group of business students and one member of the faculty met for the purpose of forming an organization that would afford each member a better understanding of economics and business prin­ ciples; to promote a closer relationship between each member of the organization and between students and faculty of the School of Business Administration; and to promote higher scholarship among the students. The original group that met in December, 1948, to form the organization were nine in number: Dr. Gaines M. Rogers, dean · of the School of Business Administration, Burgess M. Allen, , William F. Connelly, Leander S. Hamrick, Robert A. White, George E. Wilson, Allen C. Cooper, Jr., Bernard McLeod, John W. Person and William R. Outen. The organization was so ' formed as to be of a professional nature; that it would strive to present outside speakers to the campus.

127 The DELTASIG of DELTA SIGMA PI GEORGIA-Pi PI CHAPTER held its winter quarter smoker on Sunday evening, January 15, at the Georuian Hotel. Entertainment consisted of re­ fresh~ents, and two movies; "This is Amer­ ica," and "Lets Go Skiing." •Sixteen ru hes of high scholastic ability were present to hear Dr. A. Aldo Charles, of the accounting depart­ ment deliver an interesting account of the purp~se and scope of Delta Sigma Pi. Brother Al Coram, pledge trainer, initiated a pledge training point system consisting of a mini­ mum of points under which a pledge will be declared ineligible to become initiated into Pi Chapter. This point system so far has been a valuable aid in evaluating the pledge train­ ing and the pledge's potentialities as a future brother of our chapter. Upon returning to school, we found that Pi Chapter had lost four of the chapter offi­ cers. At an election held to jill these va­ cancies the brothers selected Don Harris, head master; Bill Scoggins, senior warden; Curtis E. Waites, historian; and Jemmings Livington, scribe. The highlight of the winter quarter for Pi Chapter was the Anniversary Dance held February 18, 1950. Music for the dance was provided by the Georgia Bulldogs.

The invitation to the Eastern Regional Conference of Delta Sigma Pi which will be held in Washington, D.C., at the Raleigh Hotel was enthusiastically received and Alpha Gamma Chapter intends to be well repre­ sented. At least five brothers will accompany Head Master John Wiedenman in the pil­ grimage to the convention to better unite our fraternity relations with our neighboring chap­ ters. A chapter newsletter was published through the cooperation of all the officers and brothers. We have been very interested in exchanging chapter newsletters because we feel that in this manner the chapters are bound closer together and can help to advance new ideas and procedures for the benefit of the Delta Sigma Pi Fraternity. We stand ready and honored to help any chapter at any time in this matter. With our successful year coming to a close, we now are looking forward to next year and even greater achievements. We ex­ tend to everyone a sincere wish for a prosper­ ous summer and a successful academic year. HOMECOMING FLOAT of Gamma Iota Chapter at the Un iversity of New Mexico. -CHESTER A. R EED

The DELTASIG of DELTA SIGMA PI 133 BAYLOR BETA IOTA CHAPTER at Baylor Uni­ versity began its spring quarter with a regular business meeting Monday night, March 13. Names of prospective pledges were brought up and discussed. Many activities are being planned for the all important spring quarter. The organization of an intramural softball team is underway to be in keeping with our goal of winning the intramural team trophy. We are all looking forward to the many May Day activities. Even though the painting of posters and the organization of methods of publicity concerning our candidate for May Queen represents a great deal of work and planning, we are looking forward to entering our "Rose," Miss Jean Roach, in the May Day contest. Also the Deltasigs will operate a concession booth to help cover our expenses connected with May Day. A dinner is being planned for sometime in the quarter.

Delta Sigma Pi

Wall Plaques

The Official Ring of Delta Sigma Pi is attractively de· signed with an amethyst stone. Sterling Silver ...... $13.00 Coat·of-arms of Delta Sigma Pi printed in five bright Gold, lOk ...•...... 27.50 colors and mounted on an attractive walnut finished wood 20% Federal Excise Tax Additional base, approximately 5" x 6" in size, by the new lamination Delta Sigma Pi, 222 W. Adams St., Chicago 6 process, each ...... ' ..... $1.50 Delta Sigma Pi, 222 W. Adams St., Chicago 6 • THE blueprints were completed in 1930 for the National Endowment Fund of Delta Sigma Pi. They provided for the eventual perpetuation of the fraternity and the creation of a fund from which chapters could obtain means to finance housing and students could secure loans which would enable them to complete their college education.

1500 Life Members have already provided the foundation for the National Endowment Fund, and the loans which have already been made to chapters and scores of students have convinced the architects of the soundness of these blueprints. Your Life Membership is needed to continue the construction of the National Endowment Fund.

• The $50 which it will cost you for a Life Membership is not a gift or donation in any sense of the word as you will receive in return copies of the national magazine, The DELTASIG: the ALUMNI NEWS and all of the services of the fraternity for life.

• A beautiful Life Membership certificate and an attractive Life Membership card will be sent to you. You will also have an immeasurable amount of satisfaction in knowing that you have contributed to the growth of the National Endowment Fund, enabling students to complete their education and chapters to obtain fraternity houses.

Select the plan of enrollment which is most convenient to you and pick out your "knothole" through which you can view the construction of the National Endowment Fund. You may send your check for $50, which is the total cost; or you may elect to send $5 a month for ten months; or you may send $10 a month for five months. Applications and remittances should be mailed to The Central Office of Delta Sigma Pi in Chicago.
