This is also all very well as a theory, but in practice more needy boys might be attracted than the Fund could handle. And, what is worse, the Fraternity might some day find itself in the perhaps unethical and undesirable position of buying boys. Or the Fund might be designed to supplement the University's scholar ship-loan program. Obviously, if boys are not able to stay in college, they will not be able to stay in the Fraternity. This concept of the purpose of a Frater nity scholarship-loan fund, however, seems to me a little ambitious�unless the Fraternity is a whole lot more afflu ent than I think it is. Our primary job, as I see it, is to help those among our undergraduate members who, able to pay their college bills, are unable to pay their Fraternity bills. Let us do this Benedict Chables Hausdobp, Delta '40 job first and then perhaps we can think An Outstanding Scholar about others. In some�perhaps in many Psi U

There is something unsavory about a boy borrowing to pay his Fraternity bills; the Fraternity is too much a luxury. But where can the average Chapter lay hands on $13,000? If it runs a campaign among its very wealthiest alumni for $1000 apiece or among the general rank and file for smaller amounts, it endangers its ability to carry out its other responsibilities. Pump the well dry to establish scho larships and there may be nothing left for repairiag a Hurricane-damaged roof, or for putting in a new furnace, or for paying off a burdensome mortgage. Better no scholarships than no roof, no furnace, or no Chapter House at all. The only hope I can see for a Chapter's establishing a Capital Scholarship Fund is for it unexpectedly to receive $13,000 as a gift, from some one's es tate, perhaps. In the light of an article that appeared in an earlier issue of The Fbedeeic C. Olds, Phi '39 DiAMONn, this seems a rather fuliginous Scholar hope.

The Psi News /or March, 1939, contains the following item: "The improvement in scholarship at the Psi during the last few years reached a new high this January. In the mid-year examinations there were only 15 hours of work or 5 subjects failed by the brothers. No one in the Houseflunked out of college and this appears to be a record not equalled in some time. This excellent showing resulted in the initiation of the largest number of pledges in the history of the Psi when a total of 16 neophytes became brothers at the annual ceremonies on February 11. "The fine scholastic record of the first semester also resulted in the appointment of several brothers to the Dean's List, which carries with it permission of unlimited absence from classes. Those members of Psi U who were given this honor and privilege are Brothers Childs, Collins, Hil finger, Hummer, and Newkirk of the class of 1939 and Brothers Maloy and Klosson, both juniors."

The Editor has received the recent letter from Brother Herbert E. Ryerson, Beta Beta '15, the new President of the Psi Upsilon Association of Boston:

"Many Psi U's on graduation come to Boston for post-graduate work principally at Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. We would like to have these brothers on our mailing list. Is there any way The Diamond could be helpful to that end.'' "If these brothers on arriving in Boston or the vicinity, would send us their names and addresses, we would be glad to invite them to our various parties, etc. In this way we would be able to meet them and to intro duce them to each other. Many Psi U broth ers go to these schools for two, three or four years. Only a very few have discovered other Psi U's there. Usually this has happened when we have made a special effort to get a few of the Psi U's in these schools to our Smoker or Banquet." The Editor suggests that the members of the The Bell Ringek�Bowdoin College Fraternity who are going to be in the vicinity of Boston, get in touch with Brother Herbert tended, T. E.

The 1939 Convention of Psi Upsilon will be held with the Kappa Chapter, Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Me., on June 21, 22, 23. Bowdoin is particularly beautiful at that time of the year.

Alfred M. Decker, Upsilon '40, has been chosen as the outstanding junior at the Upsilon.

The Editor present of The Diamono regrets that it was necessary for him to tender his resignation. The pressure of his academic duties, how ever, has made it impossible for him to do the typing and other mechanical work that have been necessary to bring out the issues of The Diamond. For the same reason he has had to resign as Editor of the second volume of The Epitome, mm:h as he would like to have continued. He wishes to take this opportunity to thank those who have rendered valuable help to him in the past few years, and to wish his successors on The Diamond and The Epitome every success. Here are excellent opportunities for real service to Psi Upsilon. CHAPTER ROLL OF PSI UPSILON
