Dear .Sir:
I gladly take -advantage of the opuortunlty of speaking a word of praise for tbe group of young men of Mercer University uSohool of Oommerce who are petitioning yoi5. for a local chapter of your fraternity. Each of the young men are knovm personally and a m.-mber of them have taken work in classes for my four consecutive years , It is a group that the college m.ay justly feel proud of, representing as it does, men who have shown their serious intentions by application to their work. ilie groun ia com^posed of men of the upper half in class standing, with the larger portion coming from the upper one-fourth.
The school of Gorraiierce has had a healthy and con tinuous groth. There is a find general spirit on the cam.pus . yo my mind there has been one little thing lacking; a distinctive representative group to aet as an inspiring and guiaing spirit for 'che men in commerce. I believe that a local cha.pter of 'che Delta Sigma Pi would fill this neeo_, and there could be no more' v/elcome nev/s than to hear that the chapter had been granted.
Yours truly, ZyZZyZ^. Professor of Accoui^ing. Sponsor For AlpJta Lambda Epsilon

Dear Brother V/right:-
I wish to recommend for yoxir consideration. Alpha Lambda Epsilon, local Comx-iercial fraternity at I.Iercer University. I have only hnovm this body of men for a short time, but I have been very favorably impressed v/ith each on and man, personality , ideals, seriousness of purpose. I firmly believe that this group of students have ideals and purposes that conform to the requirements of Delta Signm Pi, and I believe that fiey would make a good chapter of Delta Sigma Ii.
You airesdy liave all the necessary informrtion and data concerning Ilercer University, and I can add very little to what you already have.LIorcer is an old institution of high standing and has a proud record of having turned out some of the most prominent men in our State, and is still continuing in the good v/ork on a m.uch larger scale.
I v/ould like mighty v/ell to see a chapter of M. E. EVERETT R. H. fUNGMAN. jR.

Dear Brother Wright: it is \Tith T-nich ^^ratification that 1 can at this time most heartily endorse Alpha Lambda Epsilon which is noTr operating at Kercer UnlTsrsity, of this city, as a local corareroial fraternity in good staj^ding, to your consideration as a oetitioning group to our good fraternity. From personal obserration and inforraation gleaned from Tarious sources it is my belief that the abovementionod petitioning group represents -the cream of the enrollment in the oommereial depart ment of Mercer University. It has been my pleasure to read your letter Trritten in response to your visit of several days ago and I think the require ments outlined therein vrhen complied v/ith -nrill nake Alpha Lambda Spsilon highly acceptable as an integral part of Delta Sigma Pi. It is ry belief that the petitioning group will stride to meet these requirements in relatively a short time. It is needless to say how much benefit we all derived from your short but highly efficient vL-^it to our magnetic city, and I am quite sure you will agree that all things equal, Hacon is ripe for the establishment of an active chapter of Delta Sigma Pi. I will pledge my best efforts in a co-operative way towards the realization of the aforementioned petition being granted at some time in the future and I bespeak ny humble sentiments when I hope for a short lived future.

Dear Brother Wright: �ith reference to your letter of the 11th: Alpha Lambda Epsilon aopointed a comnlttee last Thursdajr evening to extend to you an invitation to be an honor guest at their banouet in Macon on the night of Monday 8th. This date conflicts with the date of Tuesday, March 9th, as scheduled on your itinerary. However, you mentioned in your letter cf the 11th that you could, if necessary, visit Pi Chapter on the 9th and be with us on the 8th. I regret that it was necessary on the part of the group bere to make this change. Por your infor- rtiaticn, the banouet rrentioned above originally vsas to be had this month but was postponed until the night of March 8th in order that you might be with them. You probably have already received the invi tation from the Mercer group. Brother Ed Morgan (Ka-opa) has kindly consent ed to meet with ua next week. I lock forward to your visit to Macon, Fraterna , lly yqu^� cz_ ^.yyy^y f February 13, 1926 Mr. Derward Smith, Secretary Alpha Lambda %)silon Fraternity Maoon, Georgia Dear Mr. Sbnitifi; In oompllanoe with yonr request, I an enclosing ooples of Vki� petitions we reoeived fron our Denver and Indiana ohapters, to assist you in the preparation of yours.

Mr ,H,G,Wright, 1502 Fisher Buildings Chicago, 111, Dear Brother Wri^^t, I am at a loss to understand w]iat the trouble could be at Kappa Ciiapter, I knew that conditions were not satisfactory financially, but I did n Y/hen I talked with Bro,Strickler last he told me that they would be ready for the initiation of a number of pledges at an early date, I do not know why this initiation '^�" postponed but I will meet with the chapter this week and give you a full report ''s soon as pnssible, I went to Macon Sunday and was met by the officers of Alpha Lambda Epsilon. I immediat ly called Bro,Ellis and we met with the entire chapter at two thirty in the library at Mercer, I do not hesitate in recommending the petitioning body for a charter of Delta Sigraa Pi and Bro .Ellis is of the same opinion. The school is small but is growing rapidly and the school of commerce with approximately 260 students is the leading school of the University, The personnel of tke local at present numbers only e"'D'hteen men but they assured me that they could increase it to the minimum of 25 within the next few days without sacrificing the type of men now in the chapter. You will receive notification from the'^ in a day or two that they are to petition Delta Sigma Pi, which will be followed a few days later by the petition. Mr .Derward Smith their Secretary asked me to have you send them a form of petition you may now have ,that he may be governed accordingly .We went over the petitioning instructions you sent them and tkey have most of the material already worked up for the petition and will await the form to complete same. Brother Ellis and I answered most all of the questions they had to ask and I believe they understand fully what is to be done. They a^e ve-^y anxious for a Charter and in my opinion I believe we will find them: a very energetic group and one that will make a good chapter, I plan tn go to Athens this week e^6. or next if the weather permits and will let you have a report from there immediately upon my return, JEy exjn�^-'^- ^^^ trip to Macon were railroad fare $3.92 both ways plus telegraun to the chapter |. 65, Total $8,49.

H. G. Wright, Sec'v, Fisher Bldg., Chicago, 111. Dear Brother Wright: It has been my intention to write you earlier with reference to our progress toward the establishment of a Delta Sigjra Fi Chapter at Mercer University - 'Hnt I have been out of the city a great deal and I have, con sequently, been behind with "everything". Soon after I received your letter of last September 5,1 had the pleasure of having lunch with Brother Fred vtenn (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta, at which time we discussed. In detail, the possibility of getting things in shape for Delta Sigma Fi at Mercer. Brother wenn was very ontlmlstic and offered to com.e down to Macon at any time he could be of any assistance. I also discussed it R'ith Brother George Mew, Alpha, (a close friend of the writer), who was, also, more^than willing to be of assistance, if necessary. It, originally, was my intention to carry some special work at Mercer this year - and I had anticipated selecting a few good men and getting Delta Slg started. How I was ever, In Florida for a time, and the dem.ands uuon my tim.e were such that I could not register for anything during the first semester. In the meantime, .^ilpha Lambda Eos lion, a local commerce fraternity, was organized at Mercer, the intention of which local was to petition a comoetltlve fraternity. Prof. C, B, t'^ray, of the Commerce School, was good enough to be of assistance and distributed a number of Deltasigs. Uoon Invitation, I met with officers of the local and explained Delta Sigma Pi to them. I later met with the local and answered all their questions, to the best of my knowledge. Inasmuchas Alpha Lambda Epsilon was organized, ori ginally, for the purpose of petitioning a competitive fraternity, I feel very good over the progress made and the present orospects for a chapter of Delta Sig. These fellows are a selected bunch and comoose the correct m.aterlal. Brother Griff is was here yesterday (Sunday) and wo met with them and answered their questions. lam. very glad you had Brother Griff is to come down, for I was not sure that some of the inquiries I had answered were correct.

Hence the Mercer University School of Commerce was organized to answer this demand, and to m�et this need of tho business world by supplying mon with the necessary culttire coupled with a sound training in business principles and methods. It sole purpose being to elevate business to a profession, and inculcate business ethics and Christian motives. Candidates for tho degree of Bachelor of Science in Conmerce were required to satisfy tho same entrance re quirements and complete the same number of hours work as the candidate for a Bachelor of Arts degree. Courses were available in such subjects as salesmanship, businoss English, businoss administration, marketing, banking, railway trans portation, businoss law, and advertising in addition to the various courses in practical accoxinting.

PART V HISTORY 0 F ALPHA LAMBDA EPSILON $ '1 # HISTORY OF ALPHA LAMBDA EPSILON On Feb. 17, 1925 Professor C. B. Wray called togeth er J, N, Minchin, Loy J. Bowen, and Frank M. Gormly to discuss the advisability of ibrming an organization restricted to the School of Commerce of Mercor University. Those present en dorsed the proposal very heartily and decided to hold another meeting on Feb. 25 next. On Feb, 26 the meeting was held in phi Delta Literary Hall. Messrs. J, N. Minchin, Loy J. Bowen, Frank M, Gormly, � and R. Derward Smith each took an oath to bind themselves in a brotherhood as professional fraternity of commerce students. At the following meeting the name of Alpha Lambda Epsilon was adopted and a tentative constitution was presented and accepted, committee on A affiliation was appointed to moke rec ommendations to the Praternity as to the advisability of peti tioning a national professional fraternity of commerco. After consulting "Baird' s Manual of College Fraternities" and several copies of "Banta Greek Exchange", the committee proposed to the Fraternity the International Fraternity of Dolta Sigma Pi be for a petitioned charter. Alpha Lambda Epsilon upon reconanon- dation of its committee voted on May 6, 1926 to petition the International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi for a charter. On May 7th the Secretary of Alpha Lambda Epsilon wrote to Chas, D. Keen, then Scribe of Kappa chapter of Dolta � � Sigma f�, asking him to furnish us with the name of an alum nus of Delta Sigma Pi residing in Macon, Georgia, whom wo could invite to a meeting of Alpha Lambda Epsilon to give us more information concerning Delta Sigma Pi, No answer to our request was received before the last meeting of the Fraternity during tho year 1924-1925. Alpha Lambda Epsilon had grown from four members at its inception on Feb, 25 to fifteen members at the end of the school year. At the beginning of the Fall term of the preaent year, eight members returned. These eight mon proceeded with tho work of Alpha Lambda Epsilon; increasing their number by careful selection to sixteen members before the Christmas Holidays, and perfecting their Constitution and By-Laws. Im mediately after the Holidays we petitioned tho authorities of Mercer University for official recognition of Alpha Lambda Epsilon as a professional brotherhood of students in the School of Commerce. The authorities gave our Fraternity their approval and sanction in writing on Jan, 22, 1926. Mr. E. C. Ellis, an alumnus of Kappa Chapter of Delta Sigma pi, attended a special meeting of Alpha Lambda Mr. a Epsilon. Ellis presented clear view of the purposes and activities of Delta Sigma Pi. He answered many questions and informed us to whom we should write for information as to haw to petition Delta gigma Pi, Mr. Ellis visited our Frat ernity often and has given valuable assistance to Alpha # # Lambda Epsilon, On Jan. 25, 1926 wo corresponded with Mr. H, G, Wright, Secretary-Treasurer of Delta Sigma Pi, notifying him of our intention to petition the International Praternity of Delta Sigma pi for a charter. On Feb. 7 Mr. P. M. Griffis, District Deputy of Delta Sigma Pi, in response to our invitation, visited Alpha Lambda Epsilon at a special call meeting. Mr, Griffis, after meeting each member personally, gave us information in regard to preparing our petition. The organization of Alpha Lambda Spsilon, although proposed by a member of tho faculty, was effected only by the active participation and continued interest of its members. Its menibership has increased from eight returning members to twentyfive members since Fall. The members of Alpha Lambda Epsilon are open-minded, progressive, and scholarly men. There ia no other professional organization of students in the School of Commerco, The laembers of Alpha Lambda Epsilon represent the best in tho School of Coimaercer at Mercor University, At the Feb. 25 the meeting , following officers were elected: Head Master Jas.
