MILENER, Johns Hopkins Grand President of Delta Sigma Pi As DELTA SIGMA PI reaches its thirtieth birthday; my first feeling is that the fraternity has g~o~ ~p-that it is mature. Several years ago we began m1tiatmg sons of alumni and that event caused me to feel that we were very definitely entering a new stage in the life of the fraternity. The first son of an alumni member to be initiated was John B. Morris, son ?f John P. Morris, both of Alpha Chapter. There are others, undoubtedly. In my heavy mail, one letter recently caused me particular pleasure. It was from an older member in a large city who was sending his son to a university in another city where we have a chapter. He wa.nted to know what procedure should be followed to make sure his boy would be invited to one of the rush smokers. It made me feel that Delta Sigma Pi had accomplished worth· while things during its thirty years on the campuses of American and Canadian universities.
