Brother DeWitt Wallace, Epsilon '14, and his wife, Lila, are co-founders and co-chairmen of THE READER'S DI GEST, the world's most popular mag azine. Besides literary activity, the Wallace's have distinguished them selves by giving substantial support to many diversified projects ranging from Macalester College to the res toration of the Villa Boscobel. Mrs. Wallace's gift of $1 million accounted for almost all of the money needed for the new YWCA Center in White Plains, New York. Brother Wallace is also a member of the President's Diamond Club.
