I am happy to report that the Executive Council voted at its last meeting, to send a copy of our fraternity magazine The Diamond of Psi Upsilon to all living alumni, whose classes were prior to 1924 and who are not subscribers. All members since that date became life subscribers upon paying their initiation fee. This will include about 2000 members of Psi Upsilon. Through revamping and modernizing our bookkeeping procedures and by some donations, this policy has been made possible. I can report our chapters are flourishing but as could be expected there are some rather minor problems in a few of them. Our chapter at Williams College, while vig orous and successful, is experiencing a trying time due to unsettled developments on college policy by the administration. This afiFects all fratemities at Williams. Our alumni of this chapter in concert with other Williams alumni, are following this situa tion very intelligendy and closely. Psi Upsilon wants to keep all of our alumni abreast of our affairs, and particularly our older and senior brothers. In these changing times, where most fine things are under attack, we all want to have our beloved fratemity carry on its noble traditions of fine friendship amongst fine men.

Brothers were able to take time out from the many activities of the Con vention, centered at the uptown campus of New York University, to inspect the material. Among the treasured memorabilia displayed was the original Founders' Constitution, discovered after many years in 1936 in the shop of a dealer in old and rare manuscripts. Histories of the early years of many chapters were also on view. Newspaper articles relating the installation of our Canadian chapters, a photographic record of several Convention gatherings, including the Centen nial celebration in 1933, and dinners honoring well-known brothers over the years were presented. Recent material describing the purpose and aims of the Foundation and copies of The Diamond brought the collection up to date. It is hoped that this exhibit will encourage alumni and undergraduates alike to come and browse through the items that are on permanent display in the Fraternity's office. 82 THE DIAMOND OF PSI UPSILON dergraduate Brother of the Gamma, Kappa, highest moral, social and inteUectual ex Upsilon, Phi, Omicron, Delta Delta and Ep cellence. silon Phi Chapters.
