N THE QUIET, mystic surroundings of I inspiring snow-capped peaks forming the eastern frame of picturesque Kocky Mountain National Park, the 44th Bien­ nial Grand Arch Council of the Fra­ ternity was held July 6, 7, 8, and 9, 1948, at the Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, Colo. In attendance were 289 enthusi­ astic sons of iloore & Letterman, many of them accompanied by their wives and children. Fifty signed the guests' register. The main hotel building and manor house were jammed-packed with CACing Phi Psis, much the same as most post-war chapter houses. Presiding at the six business meetings, held in the Casino, was SWGP Winston R. Tate. An able, diplomatic leader, well-grounded in the ancient customs and traditions of the Fraternity, he conducted the meetings in a dignified manner, to the complete satisfaction of undergraduates and alumni in attend­ ance. Undergraduates, as generally is SWGP Winston R. Tate the case at Phi Psi Councils, took a preaches the Phi Psi gospel decidedly active part in all the discus­ sions and deliberations. ognized authority on national and world affairs, delivered a masterful message GAC Officers on The Illusion of the Far Away at After invocation, pronounced by Vice the second meeting of the Council.

It was the 44th GACing Phi Psi lads have met twice in Colorado, the first time at Denver in 1908,—a really plush affair, featuring sterling silver souvenirs and free everything. At Estes Park were at least seven youngsters who took part in the 1908 Council: George Edward Anderson, W. Va. Alpha '95; Ira C. Brownlie, Iowa Alpha '95; Edward H. Knight, Ind. Gamma '93; Russell C. Love, Pa. Alpha '99; Edwin M. Pomeroy, Pa. Theta '93; Robert A. Parrett, Ohio Alpha '06 (Pa. Alpha '05), and J. Q. Naret, W. Va. Alpha '98 (N. Y. Alpha '01).

Total registrations: 289

In numerical order, registrations at the last 20 GACs were:

Detroit, 1918 _ 170 Toledo, Ohio, 1910 333 Mackinac Island, 1934 203 Minneapolis, 1920 358 Des Moines, Iowa, 1942 217 Kansas City, Mo., 1926 363 Denver, Colo., 1908 223 Columbus, Ohio, 1946 366 Virginia Beach, 1936 255 Buffalo, 1928 376 Spring Lake, N.

Past President Sion B. Smith, Pa. Beta '81, and Edward H. Knight, Ind. Gamma '93, with 27 each to his credit, have attended more GACs than any other Phi Psi, living or dead. The latter has not missed a GAC, nor a DC in his District, since his initiation, 55 years ago. Each was accompanied to the Estes Park Council by his wife. Both Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Knight contributed much to the social success of the GAC. Happiest GACer? Undoubtedly Edward H. Knight, whose beloved Indiana Gamma Chapter (1870-1901) was reestablished (Oct. 17, 1948) through unanimous affirmative vote of all chapters and alumni associations. Speaking of an unanimous vote, a Phi Psi requirement since 1852 for a chapter charter grant, it always shocks this observer to read in magazines of contemporary fraternities that perhaps four or five charters "were granted with not more than from 4-10 dissenting votes in any one instance." For the able, diplomatic manner in which he directed the social and busi­ ness affairs of the EC and GAC and for the courageous handling of a decidedly ticklish membership problem that arose during his stewardship, President Win­ ston R. Tate, Kans. Alpha '18, will go down in Phi Psi history as one of the most fearless SWGPs ever to serve the Fraternity. Blessed with a Herculean physique, a rugged constitution, a genuine sense of humor, a real love for fellowmen, and the magnetism of a carload of extroverts, SWGP Tate was able to maintain a dignified poise at all times, offending no one—pleasing every one in attendance at the GAC, regardless of stand or position.

November, 1948 Page 21 Before the convening of the GAC, Win Tate presided at a 4-day session of the Executive Council. Seemingly on the go from dawn-to-dawn, attending business and social affairs of one kind or another,Tate never was known to de­ cline an additional assignment for the benefit of his family, his Fraternity or his friends. With SWGP Tate was his wife, the First Lady of the Fraternity, lovely Louise B. Tate, a pretty good GACer in her own right, and her sister, Agnes Buis. The Tates live in a suburb of Kansas City, Mo., where he is vice president in charge of the Plaza Bank of Commerce. A former Director of Fraterity Education, 1934-46, and treasurer of the Fraternity, 1940-46, including the war years, Win Tate joins the ranks of illustrious past presidents, all happily still active in the affairs of their Phi Kappa Psi.

With the exception of Colorado Alpha, represented by 28, SWGP Tate's chapter, Kansas Alpha, with 18, had more members present than any other chapter. A couple of dofis of the Phi Psi hat to West Virginia Alpha, 15 of whose proud sons signed the register, and to Missouri Alpha, with an even dozen on hand. Here's a bow to Harlan Selby and Bones Williams, editors respectively of the MOUNTAINEER PHI PSI and the MO- ALPHAN, a couple of really bang-up chapter publications which regularly rattle the old Phi Psi sword and wave the flag in behalf of their chapters -and the Fraternity including DCs and GACs.

Indiana Beta and California Delta, with 10 each, came next, followed by Massachusetts Alpha, and New York Gamma, with 9 a piece. Credited with 8 each were Nebraska Alpha and California Epsilon. Illinois Alpha registered 7. Pennsylvania Epsilon, Indiana Delta, Illinois Beta, Mississippi Alpha, Iowa Alpha, Iowa Beta, and Washington Alpha each registered 6 members. Other chapters were represented by 5 or less. Our baby chapters, Arizona Alpha and Oregon Beta had 4 and 3, respectively. Two inactive chapters, Indiana Gamma and Pennsylvania Mu, were represented by Eddie Knight and Ray Kruse. Correction: No longer inactive is Indiana (^amma; never inactive are Knight and Kruse. Phi Psi lads went to Estes Park in every conceivable manner, from at least two continents—by bus, motor, train, plane, and in numerous instances hy the good thumb of hitchhikers. Brig. Gen. E. H. Clark Jr., Kans. Alpha '17, 'the gentleman who pledged Win Tate,' flew by plane from Paris to Denver, to set up some sort of distance record. Two years previously. Major Ernie Clark left the GAC at Columbus to fly to Germany. No fly-by-night-Phi-Psi is Brother Clark. He's attended every GAC, 14, since his first at Minneapolis in 1920. An SCer, Brother Clark's wise counsel and advice is sought and appreciated by his associates. The oldest Phi Psi in attendance? Young Sion Bass Smith, Pa. Beta '81, a past president, a past vice president, a past attorney general, and for many years the Fraternity's Mystagogue. He started GACing back in 1885 (a year before your Editor was born, if you please), when the Fraternity was directed by a Grand Chapter, Pennsylvania Epsilon,—the last of our Grand Chapters. He is the founder of S. C, has served as its president, and has presided at all but one of its initiations. He is a 33° Mason. The Smiths live in Bellevue, Pa., a suburb of Pittsburgh. They motored to Estes Park.

Five other past presidents took an active part in the Estes Park Council —Harold G. Townsend, 1928-30, who presided at the meeting of the Endow­ ment Fund Corp., of which he is secretary-treasurer;

Page 22 The SHIELD of Phi Kappa Psi Thomas A. Cookson, 1932-34, Chairman of the Committee on the Dispatch of Business, who presented the humorous report of the Committee on Griev­ ances composed of all six past presidents at the GAC; H. L. (Jack) Snyder, 1934-36, GAC banquet speaker, who enjoyed the honor of introducing to his friends his sons, H. L. (Jack) Snyder III, W. Va. Alpha '45, and Giles Snyder, who has since entered West Virginia University and has pledged Phi Psi; Charles B. Strickland, 1938-40, chairman of the Membership Committee, whose wife, Esther, and their youngest daughter, Mary, all of Mason City, Iowa, were with him; Harry S. Gorgas, 1942-46, war-time president, now Co-editor of THE HISTORY, who introduced the motion to grant a chapter charter to Indiana Gamma, after Wabash College had been placed on the accredited list. Unfortunate it was that the remaining five living past presidents could not have taken part in Win Tate's GAC. They are: The Rt. Rev. Ernest Mihnore Stlres, 1900-02; Shirley E. Meserve, 1924-26; Howard C. Williams, 1926-28; Leverett S. Lyon, 1936-38; and Andrew G. Truxal, 1940-42. Our new president, Howard L. Hamilton, Ohio Delta '21, as a budding geologist back in undergraduate days, spent a summer or two in the Rocky Mountains around Estes Park. His wife, Ardis Hamilton, and daughter, Ardis Mary Hamilton, both members of Kappa Kappa Gamma, were with him at the GAC. In attendance at his seventh GAC, Brother Hamilton became a member of the SC. James C. {The Moose) Addison, Iowa Alpha '12, of Des Moines, Iowa, reg­ istered at his sixth GAC, accompanied by his wife, Irene D. Addison. Shortly after the GAC the Addisons went to England on the Queen Mary. A c&rtified public accountant and the head of his own firm, Jim Addison automatically is assigned to the Finance Committee every time he goes to a GAC, J. Bart Aldridge, Okla. Alpha '22, in attendance at his tenth GAC, always is a notable addition to any gathering. A lawyer with his residence at Wewoka, Okla., Bart's activities, besides Phi Psi, include oil, live stock, grain, etc. Intimate friends for many, many years, almost a half-century, if they'll pardon the reference, are G. E. (Ed) Anderson, W. Va. Alpha '95, of Latrobe, Pa., and Russell C. Love, Pa. Alpha '99, of St. Davids, Pa., both cultured gen­ tlemen of the old school, who registered at their 16th and 13th GACs, respec­ tively. At most of their Councils they shared suites, played golf, attended busi­ ness and social functions together—and declined to consider office of any kind. Joining them the last day of the GAC was J. Q. Naret, N. Y. Alpha '01 (W. Va. Alpha '98), of Chyenne, Wyo. Dr. ^illiam FoIIett Anderson, Kans. Alpha '35, stationed at the Vet­ erans Hospital at Ft. Logan, Colo., and his wife, Ann A., were in attendance. Their second child, Pamela Ann, was born April 10, 1948. A distance record almost as good as that established by Brig. Gen. Ernie Clark, was that of Reed Bachman, Mich. Alpha '17, and his wife, Carol C. Bachman, who motored to Estes Park from Detroit via Miami, Fla., and Phoenix, Ariz., with Los Angeles, San Francisco and other Pacific coast points coming up on their itinerary agenda after cheeking out of the Stanley Hotel. At his 9th GAC, Reed Bachman was chairman of one of the three sub-commit­ tees of the Committee on the State of the Fraternity—and turned in a really bang-up job, as expected. Archon Wasson Baird, N. C. Alpha '42, of District II, in atteridance at his third (1942, '46, '48) GAC, was accompanied by his wife, Eleanor. The Bairds have moved from Durham, N. C, to New York, N. Y.

November, 1948 Page 23 Among popular GACers were Edward M. Bassett Jr., Pa. Kappa '39, and his wife, whose current address is RFD No. 2, Seaford, Del. Brother Bassett is the son of the late Edward M. Bassett, Pa. Kappa '01, president of the Fra­ ternity, 1930-32, who died Aug. 2, 1941, after a brilliant career as a construc­ tion engineer. Brother Bassett, who has attended three GACs, 1940, '42, and '48, was Archon of District 11, 1942-44. Heber Beardmore, Colo. Alpha '26, and his wife, of Wichita, Kans., where he is in the oil drilling business, enjoyed every minute of their stay, despite her fractured arm, in a cast. Heber's GAC score: 3; 1936, '38, '48. George R. Bollinger, N. Y. Alpha '47, of Tarentum, Pa., near Pittsburgh, made the trip from that city to Denver by plane. His log book, like that of most others who travelled by plane, read something like this: Trip Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Toledo, Chicago, Denver, about 1700 miles, 8 hours; Denver-Estes Park, about 65 miles, 8 hours. Earle V. Braden, Pa. Alpha '01, of Pittsburgh, where he long since has been active in the alumni association, is a charter member of the Florida West Coast Club, with headquarters at St. Petersburg. Braden has attended 14 GACs. Richard Bradley VI, Md. Alpha '37, motored from Baltimore, where he is an electrical engineer. Interested in the reactivation of his chapter, which placed its charter in suspension early in 1942, Bradley told the Executive Council that prospects for resumption of activity in the 1948-49 academic year looked bright. Cecil F. Bragg, Mo. Alpha '31, and his wife, Mrs. Vara Bragg, registered at their first GAC. The Braggs live at Lamar, Colo., where he has headquar­ ters as a cattleman. Fred H. Breylinger, Calif. Delta '27, a rancher of Escondido, Calif., his wife, Mrs. Bernadine Breylinger, and their two sons, motored to Estes Park, where they spend most of their summers, via Yellowstone National Park. Joseph L. Campbell, Colo. Alpha '19, president of the Rocky Mountain Alumni Association, and his wife, Eleanor G. Campbell, took an active part in the social affairs of the GAC. A member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, she had just returned from a convention of her sorority at Sun Valley. Miss Lucille E. Rath, official GAC stenotype reporter, filled a similar position for the Kappas, and the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, which had convened at Sun Valley immediately before the KKGs moved in. Ralph A. Clark Jr., Neb. Alpha '30, in the furniture business at Lancas­ ter, Calif., registered at his fifth GAC: 1930, '32, '34, '38, '48, which means that he should become a member of the SC in 1952. Eligibility: attendance at seven or more GACs. With Ralph was his wife, Martha Jane Clark, and their daughter, Linda. Dr. and Mrs. Paul B. Copher (W. Va. Alpha '39), of Madison, W. Va., made the trip by train-plane; train to Chicago, plane, Chicago-Denver. Louis D. Corson, W. Va. Alpha '34, chalked up his sixth consecutive GAC 1936, '38, '40, '42, '46, '48. He was accompanied by his wife, Joan S. Corson. The Cor sons, who have been living at Morgantown and Wheeling, W. Ya., are going to Stanford University, Calif., where he is entering post graduate school for further study. Unfortunately, he was compelled to resign as Director of Fraternity Education because of this removal.

Page 24 The SHIELD of Phi Kappa Psi Morgan B. Cox, Calif. Delta '27, of Los Angeles, a writer, and Howard B. Kerr, Tenn. Delta '26, of Arcadia, Calif., made the 1200-mile trip by motor in two days. Cox was at his first GAC, Howie Kerr at his 5th: 1926, '28, '30, '38, and '48. Brother Kerr operates a chain of gasoline filling stations. Lee Dautel, Ohio Epsilon '17, of Cleveland, who began GACing back in 1920, registered at his sixth GAC: '20, '22, '24, '26, '28, '48, and, like several others, is knocking seriously at the door of SC. Burns H. Davison, Ind. Beta '17, and his wife, Dorothy IM. Davison, of Des Moines, Iowa, both active at the 1942 GAC in that city, were accompanied by their strapping-big son, Burns H. Davison Jr. Earl W. Deputy, Ohio Alpha '07, trust officer. City National Bank & Trust Co., Kansas City, Mo., and his wife, Mrs. Marguerite Deputy, registered at their second GAC, 1946, '48. They made the trip by motor. Robert M. Fisher, Mass. Alpha '13, his wife, Mrs. Gladys W. Fisher, and their Phi Psi son, John S. Fisher, Mass. Alpha '46, and a guest, James K. Leitch made the trip by motor. The Fishers live in Indiana, Pa., where he is an attorney. Chuck R. Flower, Colo. Alpha '34, and his wife, Mrs. Dorothy Flower, who operate the Rustic Theater at Estes Park in the summer, took time off to take in most of the GAC. They live in Bayard, Neb. Among the first arrivals were the Flowers of Findlay, Ohio,—including H. Fort Flowers, Tenn. Delta '09, and his wife, Sara Niles Flowers, daughter of the late C. F. M. Niles, Ohio Gamma '78, president of the Fraternity, 1906-'08, and its treasurer, 1900-'04, and two of their daughters, the IMisses Barbara and Sally Flowers. ^Irs. Flowers, who started GACing as a young teen-ager, has attended at least 12, as many as her husband, but five less than her father. Having more GACs to her credit than any other Phi Psi girl, it is not surprising that the SC sent her a bouquet of red carnations, the fiower of that organization. James W. Good Jr., 111. Alpha '29, and his wife, Virginia, of Wilmette, 111., enjoyed a trip through Yellowstone National Park before arriving at Estes Park. At one of the sessions he described the Phi Kappa Psi Placement Service, sponsored by the Chicago Alumni Association. Brother Good is a Chicago lawyer. Director of the Tom Piatt Alumni Fund, conceived and operated to assist distressed chapters, and Editor of the Grand Catalogue, is Ralph R. Haney, Calif. Delta '27, of Los Angeles, who registered at his fourth GAC. In addi­ tion to these two important posts, which would keep an average man busy all year. Brother Haney is financial advisor to Cal Delta chapter, and supervised the design and building of its new house (The Shield for May, 1948). In the way of extra-Fraternity-Chapter activities, Haney is active in the affairs of the Southern California Alumni Association, and generally has something official to do in connection with the Interfraternity Conference at Southern Cal or UCLA. Brother Haney's vocation: Mining. Brother Haney was accompanied by his wife and their two daughters, Nancy ilerilla, a senior at UCLA where she is an Alpha Gamma Delta, and Gerry, a senior at University High. Mark P. Helm, Ind. Beta '89, for many years registrar at the University of Indiana School of Medicine, always active in the affairs of his chapter, the Indianapolis and Indiana associations, started GACing back in 1894, but be­ cause of the nature of his work, could not enjoy another Council until 46 years later,—in 1948. Retired, Brother Helm has asked SC President Sion B. Smith to have an SC badge ready for presentation to him in 1958.

November, 1948 Page 25 Another Phi Psi youngster, Charles E. Wayman, W. Va. Alpha '04, an engineer of Fairmont, W. Va., is knocking loudly at the door of SC, with six GACs under his bek: 1910, '12, '14, '16, '46, '48. Clyde M. Joice, 111. Beta '09, an executive of a Chicago advertising agency, registered at his fifth GAC: 1912, '16, '38, '46, '48, and was called upon to assume the chairmanship of the Committee on The Shield. With Brother Joice was his wife, Rebekah A. Joice. The Joices claim a Phi Psi son, John Aldeaa Joice, 111. Beta '41. A favorite always is W. Lyle (Casey) Jones, W. Va. Alpha '27, a lawyer living in Bridgeport, W. Va. An able Archon, 1931-33, of District III, Brother Jones is a member of the SC, with a GAC attendance record of 8: 1928, '30, '32, '34, '36, '38, '46, '48. He served as general chairman of the Committee on the State of the Fraternity. At a post GAC meeting of the EC he was named Director of Fraternity Education. On hand bright and early were the Colby (Kans.) Lauterbachs, August W., Kans. Alpha '18, his wife, Mrs. Dorothy, and their daughter, Mary, for a lot of GACing and reunioning with the Charles E. Stricklands of Mason City, Iowa. He's Mrs. Strickland's brother. Gus Lauterbach, a banker, registered at GACs in 1920, '22, '26, and '48, and is a must on the SC rush list. Don J. McNeil, Ore. Beta '48, of Portland, Ore., referred to frequently as the "father" of our baby chapter at Oregon State, installed last February, got the GACing habit bright and early. With him were his wife, Verle McNeil, and their two daughters, Doris and Margaret. J. Wallace Miller, Kans. Alpha '21, his wife, and their daughter, Mary F. Miller, of Kansas City, Mo., motored to Estes Park. The Millers are parents of a Phi Psi son, John C. Miller, Kans. Alpha '45. The Mizes, Webb M. and Virginia {Miss. Alpha '30), of Gulf port. Miss., always are among the most popular participants in things Phi Psi. They home attended three GACs: 1938, 1940, 1948. Mrs. Mize is a Chi Omega. Happy GAC Honeymooners: Mr. and Mrs. Bradley N. Nelson (Wis. Gamma '41), who were at the Broadmoor at Colorado Springs before going to Estes Park. John 0. Parker, Colo. Alpha '38, former chapter GP, his wife, Mrs. Judith Parker, and their son, Craig, of Mission, Kans., enjoyed the GAC. Making the trip by motor, they stopped at Denver, to visit Brother Parker's family. Robert A. Parrett, Ohio Alpha '06, who attended his first GAC in De/nver in 1908, registered at his sixth at Estes Park, The other four: 1910, '22, '28, and '46. Bob was accompanied by his Pi Phi wife, Anne, and their Pi Phi daughter. Miss Barbara, and a Pi Phi guest, Miss June Link, all of whom con­ tributed to the success of the GAC. The Parretts live in Cleveland, and claim, in addition to their daughter, two Phi Psi sons, Robert M. '34, and David 8. '41, both Ohio Alphans. Generally looking for an additional assignment for the good of the Fraternity, Ray F. Kruse, Pa. Mu. '27, and his wife, Delores L. Kruse, of Braddock, Pa., registered bright and early. Ray served officially as chairman of the Committee on Fraternity Education, unofficially as a sort of a com­ bined Phu-Hod for the SWGP and SWAG. Representing the Philadelphia A. A. were Edwin M. Pomeroy, Pa. Theta '93, of Philadelphia, with 16 GACs to his credit, and Lee R. Stewart, Ohio Delta '91, of Bethlehem, Pa., who registered at his 15th GAC,—two cultured old school gentlemen endeared to aE.

Page 26 The SHIELD of Phi Kappa Psi Four fortitudinous Mass Alphans, Sumner C. Powell, '42, Robert E. Doane, '46, Robert E. Quaintance Jr. '47, and Robert A. Huggins '47, motored from Rochester, N. Y., in the latter's car, a Ford rumble-seat roadster of ancient (19~34) vintage, which seemed to reflect a Hunter's Green and Cardi­ nal Red paint job of fairly recent application. They made a camping trip of their GAC pilgrimage. Warren S. Reed, Pa. Gamma '23, of Lewisburg, Pa., who crossed the SC threshhold at Estes Park, again served on the GAC Committee on Finance. A gentleman of diversified interests, including banking, Speed Reed lists himself as a 'farmer,'—a descriptive cognomen quite understandable by all who have visited his farm not far from the Bucknell campus. Joseph W. Riley, Texas Alpha '29, an attorney of Dallas, Texas, Archon of District V, 1933-37, a Carnegie Hero Fund Commission beneficiary while in college, was chairman of the Committee on the Constitution. Joe was in attendance at his fourth GAC. Having thoroughly enjoyed the Columbus GAC from start to finish. Brother and IMrs. Meredith J. Roberts (N. Y. Gamma '14), of New York City, were among the early arrivals. They motored via Colorado Springs and planned to visit Yellowstone Park and Canada before their return home. Meredith is tapping at the SC ante-room door, with 5 GACs on his attendance record: 1924, '30, '36, '46, and '48. Emerson C. (Em) Scholer, Ind. Delta '36, of Tucson, Ariz., one of the perhaps half-dozen stalwarts who sponsored the establishment of Arizona Alpha, registered at his first GAC. He is the chapter's financial advisor. Treasurer Harlan B. Selby, W. Va. Alpha '18, and his wife, Louise, of Morgantown, W. Va., accompanied by Lyle (Casey) Jones, made the trip by motor. Selby has attended 9 GACs. Walter Lee Sheppard Jr., N. Y Alpha '29, of Philadelphia, registered at his 9th consecutive GAC. The son of the late WMter Lee Sheppard, Pa. Iota '98, president of the Fraternity, 1918-20, and a charter member of the SC, Lee is the first and only son of an SCer to become a member of that organization. He served as Chairman of the Committee on Scholarship. E. T. (Fish) Sturgeon, 111. Beta '07, and his wife, Mable R., motored from their home in Portland, Ore. Chairman of the Committee on Extension, Stur­ geon has attended 4 GACs: 1912, '22, '38, and '48. Among the Phi Psi father-Phi Psi son combinations in attendance were: Robert R. Tarbell, Colo. Alpha '14, of Saquache, Colo., and Wel- don W. Tarbell, Colo. Alpha '35, of Denver, both lawyers. The Tinsleys, ]Mr. and Mrs. Vernon F. (N. Y. Gamma '15), of Des Moines, Iowa, who enjoy a summer home in Rocky Mountain National Park, were in attendance,—the former at his 5th GAC: 1920, '26, '38, '42, '48. At least one fourth-generation member, Guy Morrison Walker, Teocas Alpha '47 {Ind. Alpha '43), of Laurel, Miss., took an active part in the Estes Park GAC. Pointing out that "nominations can not be closed," he suggested that officers be elected by ACCLAMATION, which met with unanimous approval. The Yowells of Chicago, Glencoe, 111., and Estes Park, Colo., served as perfect hosts and hostesses, before, during, and after the GAC. On hand to welcome old and new friends were Attorney General John J. Yowell, Colo. Alpha '14, his wife, Helen C. Yowell, their Phi Psi son, Kent Yowell, Colo. Alpha '46, and their 14-year-old son. Bill, who served faithfully and well as one of the official Council photographers, doing a bang-up job with his Speed Graphic. Banquet Symposiarch was John J. Yowell, and GP at the Council initiation was Kent Yowell. Helen Yowell served graciously as hostess at Yo Owl's Nest, the Yowell's summer home, high up in the mountains, about a dozen miles or so from Estes Park.

William B. Weisell, N. Y. Gamma '33, and his wife, Mary C, motored from their home in Indianapolis, where he is engaged in the practise of law. The Carter Lee Williams of Kansas City, Mo., (Carter L., Mo. Alpha '13, and his wife, Mayne), and their towering son, Curtis C, Mo. Alpha '47, were among the popular GAC participants. Sire Williams, a member of the SC, has registered at 8 GACs. W. A. Williams Jr., Miss. Alpha '34, and his wife, Lorna Russell Wil­ liams, motored from their home in McComb, Miss., via Dallas and Amarillo, Texas, and Colorado Springs. Brother Williams has attended 4 GACs: 1936, '38, '40, '48. Next to Mrs. H. Fort Flowers, Mrs. C. F. (Dab) Williams, with 11 to her credit, has perhaps attended more GACs than any other woman. It was a treat, especially to mid-western Phi Psis who claim him as one of their own, to exchange grips with Wallace M. Woehler, 111. Beta '23, for­ merly of Chicago, now of IMonrovia, Calif. With Wally was his young son, Wallace M. Jr., a nephew, Robert W. Magee, and one of their friends, John Ames. The Woehler delegation made the trip by motor. Get ready for the Centennial GAC in 1952, probably at Pittsburgh, not far from the cradle of Phi Kappa Psi at Canonsburg, Pa., site of Old Jefferson College.

CLEVELAND ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HE activities of the Cleveland Alumni T Association were heightened in August by a golf party and dinner at Aurora Country Club. About twenty-five of the Brothers dug and sweated their way around one of the toughest courses in the district and then, after a shower, repaired to the festive board and dug in there, too. The weekly luncheons on every Monday at the Midday Club have been perked up by somewhat better attendance. Mr. Truman has been counted out of the race and, the Indians were heartily wished into the pennant at these affairs. Some word has been bruited about a Christ­ mas shindig and notices for same will be forthcoming soon. Needless to remark, the pennant has captured our interest here in Cleveland to the virtual exclusion of all else. We hope that by the time The Shield is published we will have been host to a goodly number of Brothers who are lucky enough to be in town for the Series. Cleveland, Ohio HARRY W.

Many of the original ordinances of the village were written by Brother Holden. who at various times was Oak Park city at­ torney. Brother Holden's hobby was the study of Abraham Lincoln and collecting Lincoln books. He so vigorously pursued this hobby that he became an authority on Abraham Lincoln's life. He was the author of several books on this subject, the best known being Lincoln, Man of Inner Conflict. He was an active member in two Chicago groups, the Lincoln group and the Civil War Round Table. He willed his excellent collection of 700 books on the life of Lincoln to the University of Michigan. Brother Holden's wife, the former Bessie Walker, died five years ago. He is survived by three Phi Psi sons, Albon W., 111. Beta '16, Archon of District IV, 1919-21; Walter S. Jr., Mich. Alpha '30; and William W., HI. Beta '20, and a daughter. Miss Ruth Holden. Walter Holden was also honored with a de­ gree from Lake Forest College in addition to the honors listed above. He was past president of the University of Michigan Alumni Associa­ tion of Chicago, was a trustee of Lombard College at Galesburg, 111., when that school merged with Knox College. He was one time president of the Oak Park Library Board, and Walter S. Holden of the Oak Park Parent-Teacher Association.

This salute to Dr. Harding will be one of many which is climaxing a life given over to the youth of America.
