influence of alumni on the attitude of our chapters toward many of THEtheir problems is of serious import. The abnormal difficulties of the post war days have been of no little concern to the fraternity but with the added responsibilities, caused by prohibition, our chapters, like all other fraternity chapters, have needed and will continue to need helpful brotherly direction from the right sort of alumni. There is no doubt but that the very great percentage of alumni would not think of exerting anything but the proper constructive influence on a chapter. There is also no doubt but that a very small percentage of alumni never stop to think what a seriously detrimental effect improper influence may have. Now from these statements it would seem that the greater influence for good would so far outweigh the other that our comments should be unnecessary. It is, however, unfortunately true that the first division of alumni do not make it a point to work with the undergraduates to anywhere near the extent they could and should. The alumni, whose example is not always of the best, do seem to be more in evidence than is desired, and far more than their proportionate numbers warrant. The good alumnus returns to his chapter for re-unions, for initiations, and other special events. He does his part loyally toward his chapter finan cially. His heart is with them�he wants them to do well, and when called that upon to do anything he is always ready to respond. He perhaps feels the small group of alumni who act as the chapter trustees are well able to direct the undergraduates and to advise them. His supposition that the trustees will do their work is sound but the good alumnus does not always stop to think that he, himself, could be of good service to his own or any other chapter of the fraternity that may happen to be nearer his residence and that he should set about to do something. All of our chapters want and welcome close alumni friendships. Our chapters do not need preaching, they do not need scoldings, they do not need criticizing, but it is invariably true that they will warmly receive the helpful suggestions of worthy alumni and any wholehearted attempt at its own and likes to be able proper directing. Every chapter has problems alumni who do to talk them oyer with the alumni. It is always true that the this brotherly work with the chapters are well repaid. They find the en thusiasm of the undergraduates stimulating, their hopes encouraging, and their friendship inspiring, real and worth while. Intimate contact and asso the fountain of eternal for ciation with any chapter is like visiting youth and make the horizon of life much every visit will tend to keep you younger greater. If the alumni would make it a point to do a good deal of this frieaidly of the several visiting in a most informal way�the serious problems chapters 5 6 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon

would fade away, because those few alumni or ex-members whose presence is not desired and who regrettably do not stay away, would soon find them selves unwelcome and they would either turn to the right or be very much less in evidence. The alumnus who returns to a chapter with the improper attitude toward prohibition, morals and the various college regulations needs to be curbed. We do not propose to argue these subjects�the fact alone remaining that our fraternity and chapters must uphold them and must be given every aid in so doing. It is the firm intention of the Executive Council to back all move ments to this end. Our chapters have the means of handling the alumnus whose influence is undesirable and it must be expected that the fraternity is going to do all in its power to protect its reputation. Our very existence in all colleges is by the suffrage of the authorities and could be terminated at their will. Psi Upsilon is not alone in having this problem to deal with and though we now have no pressing cases to particularly emphasize these conditions, other fraternities have had some very tinpleasant experiences, which we must try to avoid. We hope that those good alumni who read this will set to their opportunity, and we further hope that the undesirable element will keep to themselves.

present a toast "The Old Psi Upsilon" given by Hon. John U. Pettit, WETheta '39, at the third annual reunion of the Psi Upsilon Association of the Northwest in 1879. Since that time Brother Pettit has been numbered with the dead. He was a zealous and honored Psi U. having held several positions of distinction, among which were Judge of the Circuit Court of Indiana, Member of the House of Representatives and U. S. Consul to Brazil. In his toast he mentions many of our most eminent members some of whom are no more. He eloquently recalls the times when he was in college and when Psi Upsilon was in her infancy. Every undergraduate can draw important lessons from the words of our deceased brother:� This place of honor, at this hospitable board, to which, with so much I am now kindness, invited, is one merely of accident. It depends on no merit. Being myself one of an unusually large family of sons, with new sons continually bom into the family, I am an older brother. Of all present, if not first, I am among the first, born and christened in this household, and baptised with its earliest baptism. It just happens so. As in the ancient house of Laban, this precedence now, is only by birthright. Growing old, we accept the situation, as I do now, because old people can never be yoimger, even if they try. This makes peace between youth and age. The multiplied years of old men are never a thing of envy to the young. Besides, there is a divine commandment, "Rejoice, young man, in thy youth, while the evil days come not." As far as known, every young man is willing to obey this divine commandment. I was not present at the laying of the deep and solid foundations of Psi Upsilon. But I knew, very well and intimately, all its first builders. From that early beginning, I have seen the structure rise to its present perfect proportions of strength, and grace, and beauty. Looking out from my quiet place in life, now, at the end of more than forty years, never forgetting all this time the love and allegiance I bear it, and sharing the pride of every advancement; to know, now, that this brotherhood coimts itself by thousands, and all enough to make an army; rich in every scholarly purity and culture, at call of of high purposes; every face turned to the front, the restless duty, and by achievements already won, an army with banners, we all may rightly almost "builded think, this night, that the young associates of that early time, better than they knew." The Psi Upsilon was never a creed. It was not set in hard and set form of words, which were an exact measure. It was something better. It was a faith�warm, lively, living, buoyant, glowing, hopeful. As understood by lawyers, our whole law was unwritten law. Except in the mysterious mean ing of our name, and all it implies, between ourselves, and as duties and

sense and what rights, our manner, our manliness, our individual of duty, should be the paths, were all left plain and free. All had been born into a life of work. We were willing to prepare, and step forward, and take up

� Good work our respective tasks. Life was social we became friends. depends on who can do it best�^we became chosen friends. All honest life has common duties�we worked together. The strong are stronger than the weak�we helped each other. With like studies, tastes, purposes, ambitions, hopes; helping, and supporting, and cheering each other on the way, all grew warm and close to each other, by very contact, and so close, it seemed we could almost feel the beating of every brother's heart. At its birth, and in its cradle, Psi Upsilon was a marvelous child of full health, and strength, and beauty. From the beginning, the Psi Upsilon was a free republic; but, better, it was a family of love. Precious riches are God's twin gifts, Hope and Memory, to all of woman born. Hope, like morning, rises early and blushing from its rest, looks forward on a swelling landscape, too wide for vision, but everywhere tinted with golden light. No part of the whole sky is flecked with so much as a summer cloud. Over the long distance, Hope looks forward to the evening, and sees it in the midst of its distant, mellow glory, and its promises of sweet repose. But Memory, as we have climbed up to the noon of life, asks us to look back on the paths already trodden, and the fellow-travelers of our journey. By this wonderful gift, precious and magical as the prize of Aladdin, the whole past lives again. This present chosen moment of com munion, invites memory.

" This hour of love. In manhood's weary track, Hath a prophet's power to move Life's dial-shadows back; And the bow of other years. Born of the sun and rain. Half gladness, and half tears. Shines out in heaven, again."

May one, inclined to be old, dare to assert here an old man's privilege of garrulity? In the Iliad, no one of all the heroes mocked at the old, noisy, Thersites. While scolding thinking of this occasion, I went to my little cupboard, that has an old tin box in it. It holds early treasures. Here is an old parchment, headed, "Chirographa Fratrum, P. U., in presenti, Capituli Theta, datum Schenectadiae, die nana, Kal. Aug. undequadrigesimo, octingentissimo, millesimo, Domini Anno." This is supposed to mean July, 1839. It was the parting from college, with that painful word, that has The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 9 been and must be. It is the register of our little community. It omits only two names, Maunsel Van Rensselaer, long living by the classic shore of Geneva, with Hannibal's path of conquest of the Alps in sight, and Clem. M. Davison, who presided at the Detroit meeting last year. We were a "merrie companie." Memory warms. Now I recall it. The old attic, perched at the top of three flights of stairs, and just under the rafters, as if gone up to roost, reached only with difficulty, like climbing up the Mountain of Knowledge, this was the first home of Psi Upsilon. How climbing the ascent tried the acrobatic art ! The long legs of Hesden King, which a good Providence had spun into long-drawn gossamers, but whose head was always above the top of his class, were, facetiously, supposed sometimes to reach down to the ground, through the top cracks. But this statement is apocryphal. If the high place of our habitation meant any thing, we spent many Attic nighs. The place of meeting was sequestered in some odd corner of Schenectady, not necessary to be told. We were hooded monks, approaching our odd quarters by twos and threes, and by devious and various ways, lest our virtues should be drawn under suspicion. Each one of these is now seen in his own handwriting. The place and the persons now live again in vision. Van Vorst, so long an honored magis trate in the chief seat of magistracy in New York, our chief, with pleasing, honest face, and with manners already magisterial; Monilaws, with sparkling black eyes, always so much in earnest; Lewis, our beautiful Apollo, so good to look upon; Stebbins and King, our honesty; John M. Wheeler, who has so long, and so honrably, husbanded the riches of Michigan University, was our dry joker. He fired them all with a slow match�first, a little lifting of the ground, then, an upheaval, and then, at leisure, the vigorous explosion, that, like Yorick's, "set the table in a roar." Roberts was the only one gifted with the magic, but melancholy gift of poetry and song, which neither larks, nor thrushes, nor poets can explain, but which plays with all our heart-strings; and the fair, good face of Dan Shepherd always glowed in a corruscation. Thompson, and Stewart, and Schermerhorn, and Dunning, and myself, were the small boys, such as can be found in all well-regulated families. Clarkson Nott Potter, with so many honors worthily won, at the bar, and for so many years in Congress, was then the youngest of the family. This was the old Psi Upsilon. All is present. After finishing the regular work of the night, there was no withdrawing of the cloth, that hilarity might begin. Our potations were water, pure and simple. The diet of our board was leaner than the feast of Apemantus. and and and and But it was, then, abandon, and rollicking: fun, jest, song, love, and goodness, and greatness, till the small hours of the morning came, "All are and went our and we separated with the parting words, One," way. 10 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon

We had seasons of pleasure and of sorrow. I recall when death first made desolation in our household, in the death of David Humphreys, and how sorrowfully all bowed their heads, when in our little home, Joseph W. Gott, so soon to follow, told the simple story of that young life, so marvelous of promise, closing with the sorrowing words, borrowed from that most wonder ful creation of human imagining,

" Duncan is in his grave. After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well."

I recall again, when, by such authority as this Society could give, I took by the hand William E. Robinson, so well known in journalism, in letters, in oratory, in honest statesmanship, and gave him, in its name, the apostolic commission to go out and carry the Psi Upsilon to Yale and Harvard; and with what we joy rejoiced, when the glad tidings came back, that many had been added to the church.

While I seem to see it, many have gone beyond the river, and do not answer the roll-call. But all these were beautiful in their lives. By affinities we cannot undertake to tell, as we walk in life, some become grappled to us with hooks of steel. John W. Vanderveer was one, the Boanerges of every quarrel, but, in logic, greatest of all; whose quick thought, incisive and trenchant, cleft, at every blow, through the bone into the marrow. He went, But early. dearest of all of that dear, loved group, was little Harry White.

� We were of the same � class and age ^mathematically expressed 19* He was, in that childhood, beautiful as Adonis. In moral and mental gifts he united everything that is called genius. He was at the top of his class, and of all of the societies, and the idol of all. He was an orator born, and seeming to be in full ripeness. He died young, consumed, as genius often is, with its own fire. I met him in the siumner of 1840. The hectic, fatal blossom ing, looking so much like beauty, was already on his cheek. He knew its meaning. We went together to Niagara; and, at evening, in the moonlight, down the going ragged steps on Goat Island to the foot of the Falls, we saw some fishermen out their putting poles. We sat down on the fragmentary in die stones, weird, moonlit presence of the noisy, unceasing cataract, and talked of our future. With that personal presence, that was grace and eloquence itself, he pointed up to the rushing and ceaseless flow, and said, "For me, next. Eternity." It was prophecy. We parted next morning; to find an into myself unhelped path what is now this garden, then a wilder ness. whole soul and life were Harry's Christian. No whiter, purer spirit, of less taint from earthly mould, ever entered the gates of pearl, that widen into immortality, to which all must go, than little Harry White's. Rufus M. White, Harry's brother, much beloved by good Dr. Nott and Bishop Potter, The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 11 must be named. Nor can I here forget my own younger brother of the flesh, as well of the Theta, 1850. Summoned from the very threshold of his pro fession, on whose cold, white marble, which keeps his name, this dear society, with loving fingers, inscribed "In Memoriam: A scholar, wise with more than learning's wisdom." I almost wished to name others. Called on to answer for Old Psi Upsilon, I could say no less. But this is not the time. This is a festive night. I seem to speak unbidden, and almost without leave, like the Ancient Mariner to the Wedding Guest. It is left to others to tell the story of the wider expan sion, grown strength, and swollen numbers of this brotherhood�what memorials of good are left along its history�with what use and adornment its many children have walked all paths of life; and with what steadiness, care and conscience, they have kept every duty. But shall we not pause, in the midst of this flow of happiness and love, and silently remember the Early Dead of Psi Upsilon? Love and peace with all. May every year bring back to this communion the same fold of brethren, magnified, alike in high purposes, in Christian and scholarly culture and grace, and the same great wealth and warmth of heart. This is a festive night. It is a meeting of many children, from all places Psi in life, now returned, meeting again, together, at the old home. And Upsilon, loving mother, with arms outspreading to embrace them all, bids us Welcome.

BARTLETT GYMNASIUM, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO October 29, 1923. TO ALL FRIENDS OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL:

It seems like a matter of little consequence for one tO' attend the Sunday professional football games,�nothing more than attending any Sunday event�^but it has a deeper meaning than you realize, possibly a vital mean ing to college football. Intercollegiate football will live only so long as it contributes to the well being of the students, that is, while the influences of the game are predominently on the side of amateur principles, right ideals, proper standards and wholesome conditions. For years, the colleges have been waging a bitter warfare against the insidious forces of the ganibling public and alumni and against over-zealous and shortsighted friends, inside and out, and also not infrequently against crooked coaches and managers who have been anxious to win at any cost, and victory has not been completely won. And now along comes another serious menace possibly greater than all others, viz; Sunday professional football. Under the guise of fair play but contenancing rank dishonesty in play teams have ing men under assumed names, scores of professional sprung up a of some within the last two or three years, most of them on salary basis kind. These teams are bidding hard for college players in order to capital the name of the ize not only on their ability but also, and mostly, upon cases noised abroad of college they come from, and in many the mystery and incident of 1921 their presence. The well known Carlinville Taylorville this fall. There is is likely to be repeated in essence on different occasions for their and nothing that a bunch of gamblers will not do purpose quite of a of busi often they carry along with them the support thoughtless group ness men and well meaning citizens. Cases of the debauching of high school boys not infrequently have come teams to notice. Also recently one of the well known Sunday professional under assumed names on which several men are said to be regularly playing official who officiated under an assumed employed a well known Conference name.

13 14 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon

The schools and colleges are struggling to combat the various evils con nected with football which when played with the amateur spirit possesses more elements for the development of character and manhood than any other sport I know of. To patronize Sunday professional football games is to cooperate with forces which are destructive to the finest elements of interscholastic and in tercollegiate football and to add to the heavy burden of the schools and col leges in preserving it in its ennobling worth. To cooperate with Sunday professional football games is to work against the best inter^ts of interscholastic and intercollegiate football and to lend cooperation to forces which are destructive to the finest elements of inter scholastic and intercollegiate football. If you believe in preserving interscholastic and intercollegiate football for the upbuilding of the present and future generations of clean, healthy rightminded and patriotic citizens, you will not lend your assistance to any of the forces which are helping to destroy it. Sincerely, Amos Alonzo Stagg.

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL NOTES

Council held its first meeting of this college year at the Psi Upsilon THEClub of New York on Tuesday, October 30th. The officers of the Club have kindly provided exceptionally fine quarters for Council meetings and the fraternity is indebted to them for their thoughtfulness.

At the request of Brother Babst notices have been sent to all chapters and alumni clubs calling their special attention to the 90th anniversary of the founding of our fraternity on November 24th and suggesting that fitting observance be made.

The work on the new catalogue will be resumed at once under the direction of A. Hallock Xi Avery '16. Many of the chapters have not sent in their revised lists and the Council directs die attention of all chapters to this vital Brother Hallock be addressed care responsibility. may Psi Upsilon^ club of New York.

After a serious consideration of the matter of a new Psi Upsilon Epitome, the Council has decided to look into the possibility of having the old Epitome and reprinted reproduced as Volume 1 and at the same time having all The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 15 material collected concerning the history of Psi Upsilon from 1885 to date, and having this published as Volume II so that the chapters and members of the fraternity can obtain both volumes which will be uniform in char acter. Unfortunately it is going to be a very difficult matter to locate some one who can and will try to produce a Volume. II that will be anywhere near comparable to the original, as Brother Albert Jacobs, Phi '73, has had no worthy successor that we know of. The original is a classic in the world of fraternity publications and was the pioneer in its field, and as the edition is nearly extinct a reprint is to be made.

are indebted to the Executive Council for the loan of the original WEletter of Willard Fiske (Psi '51) dated September 27, 1881, concern ing his establishment of "An Executive Council Fund" together with a recent letter from Charles W. Smiley, Xi '74, who was a member of the Council from 1876-1884. Ithaca, N. Y., September 27, 1881. Dear Br. McLean:

I enclose you my check for fifty dollars, to which I wish the little balance due me for the song-books I paid for to be added. I want the whole to form the beginning of an Executive Council Fund, of which you and Br. C. W. I Smiley shall be trustees, with power to fill yoiu: own vacancies. wish the fund to increase, the principal to be always kept intact, and the interest to be spent only when the principal shall amount to $1,000. and Very soon I propose to publish one or two Psi U songs with music, ultimately my Historical Sketch of the Psi Upsilon, and shall ttirn over the bulk of the edition to you and Br. Smiley, so that the proceeds of any sale they may have may be added to the proposed Council Fund. Perhaps I may find some other ways of helping to increase the fund. Fraternally yours, Willard Fiske.

Perhaps the best way to dispose of the money sent, for the present, would be to deposit it to the credit of yourself and Br. Smiley in a sound Savings Bank�if you can find one.�W. F.

1023 45th Street, Oakland, Calif., July 17, 1923. Executive Council, Psi Upsilon Fraternity: As a matter of information, will you please file the enclosed letter of Professor Fiske. Upon the death of Ward McLean, in 1905, I appointed Chas. S. Benedict of the Delta, to succeed him and I have recently made him first trustee with power to manage the funds and to appoint my suc cessor upon my decease. On Feb. 6, 1905, the fund amounted to $177.36 and was transferred from the Seamen's Savings Bank to the Union Square Savings Bank, New York. On Jan. 2, 1922, the fund amounted to $330.99. To get a higher rate of interest, I transferred $300 to the Penny Savings Bank of Boston. I send these facts merely for information and future reference. Yours in the bonds, Chas. W. Smiley.

Campbell Dickson (Omega '24), known to the Midway campus as "the best all-around athlete" of the year, was awarded the Henry Strong scholar ship for the coming year at the University of Chicago today. The scholar ship is given "for excellence in scholarship and school activities." The award was announced by Dean Wilkins.�Chicago Evening Post, Oct. 12, 1923.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON Eugene

School of Business Administration�Office of the Dean June 27, 1923. Dear Brothers: An idea has occurred to me which, I think, the fraternity might profitably use, exemplifying the practical fraternalistic spirit. It seems to me that it would be a fine thing if the brothers located in the big cities of the country would let their wants be known through the columns of "The Diamond" as regards the employment of some of the brothers who graduate in June. There are men many capable who face the cold world upon graduating from the various colleges where chapters of Psi Upsilon are located, and it would be a progressive step, I believe, if these brothers could be given a boost. It is too late to put such a plan into operation this year, but do you think it is worth while considering for next year? Yours in the bonds, Alfred L. Lomax, Theta Theta '17.

PSI UPSILON MEN ESCAPE JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE We are in receipt of a postal card from Brother E. W. Clement, Omega '80, that he survived the earthquake in Japan and also stating that Brothers Henry Topping, of Yokohama, Omega '81, and Manzo Kushida of Tokio, Tau '90, had been saved, although the latter two were burned out.

Glens Falls, N. Y., August 20, 1923. The Diamond of Psi Upsilon, Auditoriiun Hotel, Chicago, 111. Dear Brothers: I have just finished reading a most interesting book written by Up De Graff, Theta '94. I do not think it would come amiss if you mentioned this book in the next issue of the Diamond and you can use as much of the following as appeals to you.

HEAD HUNTERS OF THE AMAZON By Fritz W. Up De Graff Foreword by Kermit Roosevelt Published 1923 by Duffield & Co., New York. A striking book of travel and adventure. The author wandered for seven years, sometimes with a few white companions, often alone, among the savages of the upper Amazon. His party included perhaps the only men of our race who ever witnessed an attack of the head hunters, the decapitation of their victims and the hideous rites attendant on the preparation of the trophies of battle. "Seldom have more exciting adventures with man and animal been recorded within the pages of one book.�Daily Mail.

It is always interesting to know of the opinion of others about ourselves and while we do not wish to are of answer these statements, suffice it to say that we in Psi Upsilon proud in our own our chapter roll and have been perfectly satisfied to go along on as see fit.

A GENERAL FRATERNITY CENSUS By William C. Levere in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Record for September, 1923 This census of the number of chapters of each college fraternity is worthy the attention and study of every student of Greek Letter affairs. The quickest conclusion one must come to at the very first glance is that agitation for the organization of new college fraternities is a wrong move. There is no need of more fraternities. What is needed is the development of a lot of small sisters into puissant organizations.

Sigma Phi 10 Kappa Alpha (Northern) 8 Kappa Delta Rho 10 Beta Alpha Psi 7 Alpha Epsilon Pi 10 Delta Psi 7 Phi Mu Delta 9 Theta Alpha 3 Sigma Phi Sigma 9 Take the first sixteen of these fraternities, beginning with Sigma Alpha Epsilon and ending with Delta Kappa Epsilon. Every one of them has marrow in its bones and impeccability on its brow. These are the fraternities that are doing big things in the Greek world. They build chapter houses, publish magazines, develop endowments, support fraternity defence, encour age scholarship, and back campus activities. Concerning the quality of their memberships, one might just as well say that the United States is inferior to other countries because it has a far flung line of wonderful states and a great population. It must not be inferred that we intend any aspersion concerning the character of the membership of the smaller groups. Not at all. They are full of fine yoimg Americans, whom it is an honor to know. It is simply that it is exceptional that their names are recognized and this is entirely their own fault. They hide their lights under the bushel themselves. My whole contention is simply this. If we are going to have any new fraternity chapters in colleges, instead of encumbering the earth with a lot of new national organizations, let the infants in the Greek world be backed and developed and made use of. Here we have seventeen national fraternities with less than twenty chapters each. Everyone of them has high ideals disturb and is a nucleus for a great national fraternity that will supply this ing demand for more general fraternities. Take these excellent groups con sisting of Sigma Pi, nineteen chapters; Phi Kappa Tau, nineteen chapters; Phi Beta Delta, ninteen chapters; Tau Kappa Epsilon, eighteen chapters; Kappa Nu, eighteen chapters; Delta Phi, fifteen chapters; Pi Lambda Phi, thirteen chapters; Phi Kappa, twelve chapters; Sigma Phi, ten chapters; Kappa Delta Rho, ten chapters; Alpha Epsilon Pi, ten chapters; Phi Mu Delta, nine chapters; Sigma Phi Sigma, nine chapters; Kappa Alpha (northern), eight chapters; Beta Alpha Psi, seven chapters; Delta Psi, seven and chapters; Theta Alpha, three chapters. They have the organization them to than to add how much better is it in every way to encourage grow is the ectogenetic fraternal babes, when what is really needed development of what we already have.

activities since last June have been rather quiet, as is usual during OURthe summer, for the lure of golf and vacations are too great to try to overcome. We did, however, have our annual field day at the Green Valley Country Club, July 25th, with nearly fifty brothers on hand. After the many golf matches the usual indoor-outdoor baseball game was held with Bro. Granville Browning, Phi '77, acting as umpire. His rulings were subject to some discussions, but his forceful voice amply drowned out all protests. It was a great day and we'll have another next year, so be on the watch. This fall so far we have had but one informal evening buffet supper gathering, but it was such a success that Roy W. Williams, Omega '16, who is chairman of our entertainment committee, has been asked by all those who attended or who heard about it, to repeat it every three weeks�Whence, keep your eagle eye out for the notices. At the suggestion of the Executive Council we are making special plans for the proper observance of the ninetieth anniversary of the founding of the fraternity Saturday, November 24th. We have had a founders' day dinner every year, but we are going to try to make this 90th birthday celebration the best yet. Thus far we have been very quiet about our plans, but we are happy to announce that our guest of honor and chief speaker will be Brother Charles P.

This news is a shock as great everybody thought that "Pat" would be one of the old Batches. Mr. and Mrs. Will Albert Terry announce the marriage of their daughter, Mary, to Herbert Willis Verrall, Omega '21, on October 10th last. Mrs. Verrall is a sister of William Terry, Zeta '21. Howard R. Copley, Omega '17, and Miss Hazel Virginia Magnuson were married on August 15th. Another member of the Board of Editors of the Diamond took the marriage vows recently; Allan C.

As noted elsewhere in the Diamond, we regret to announce the death of one of the founders of the Psi U Club of Chicago, Paul E. Wilson, Mu '98. His example of fraternal loyalty and his inspiration to ever finer ideals will always linger in the memories of those of us who were privileged to work with him in the early days of the Club. 0. W.

our last letter our Club has gone ahead in leaps and bounds. All SINCErooms have been filled with many on the waiting list. The dining rooms have been well patronized. We were more than satisfied with the number of "temporary bachelors" who used our facilities during the vacation months. This as well as many other facts, bring us to the realization that many more men are learning to appreciate the benefits to be derived from our Club. Here they have fine beds and fine food, and so much more than can be obtained anywhere else, for a price that seems like a joke when com pared with those of hotels and restaurants. Our membership is increasing each week, and as the patronage increases, our services increases, but the costs to the members remain the same. In the tri-cornered bridge tournament, we captured the cup with a third consecutive win. All fans along this line can find entertainment during idle moments of their stay with us. We had a tennis tournament during August, and there were several such affairs held for the golf enthusiasts. There is now a movement to take up bowling during the cold months. An effort is being made to obtain privileges at a nearby gymnasium. The old saying about the latch string holds good with us, so drop in and make yourself at home. Yours in the Bond, Frank M. Rees.

PSI UPSILON CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA PSI U CLUB of Philadelphia is planning for this year's activities, THEtwo dinners and an outing. The first dinner will precede that much advertised extravaganza, the T. T. T. show at the Tau Castle. This event is enjoyed by all, both young and old, and we expect a goodly turnout. In March, the almnni brothers will gather for their second dirmer, journeying later to meet with the Tau Brothers for their annual initiation. Brother Wiedersheim took full charge of the Spring Outing last year, and put it across in great shape. This year, he promises to repeat for us in the same style. A weather-wise member of the Executive Committee has established the fact that full moons and rain do not mix, so that the Spring Outing is for the planned Saturday afternoon and evening nearest to the full moon in the month. A heavy blow has fallen amongst us. Harry A. Dresser, Xi '08, has resigned his position at the Penn Charter School, Philadelphia, and has accepted the head mastership of the Cedarhurst School at Cedarhurst, L. I. Harry has been the mainstay of the Psi U Club of Philadelphia since the The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 31

� beginning in fact, Harry was the beginner. His energy, enthusiasm, and pep put the club across. The Executive Committee at its last meeting were presented with the job of filling Harry's shoes, and hope to have a ticket to present at the first dinner. The Secretary desires to have all brothers who have moved into Philadel phia and vincinity diuring the past year to send in their names and addresses to his office. We do the best we can to put in your names on the list, and if you don't receive our communications, don't feel slighted, but send in your name, and come out. A. Sidney Jenkins, Secretary.

PSI UPSILON CLUB OF SYRACUSE

are very glad to report that the Psi Upsilon Club of Syracuse is WEalive and functioning. Uur activities through the Summer months consisted of an Outing, which was held outside the city and at which we had fifty of the loyal brothers. Our regular Winter program consists of a monthly dinner at the Univer sity Club, the first of which is scheduled to be held tonight. We also have a regular Tuesday Noon lunch at the University Club and request any brothers who are in this locality to drop in on us. Our club has a membership of one hundred and twenty brothers from nine different chapters. We will at our next meeting urge all brothers to renew their subscriptions to The Diamond. Yours in the Bond, Eric W. Will, Secretary.
