West Range, at the University · of Virginia, where, in Room 31 , the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity was founded on March 1, 1868 If We Have High Ideals

ou HAVE asked me for a Founders Day message. Y I think my only message would be that I hope every member of the Pi Kappa Alpha recognizes hi s two-fold responsibi lities- his devotion to hi s Alma Mater and hi s loyalty to his Fraternity. This, it seems to me, is not unlike a man's obligations to his mother and to his wife. lf he neglects his mother, he wi ll not deserve to have a faithful wife. lf we have high ideals, are ambitious in reference to the reputation of our organization, and are di ligent in maintaining our devotion to our Alma Mater, as well as to our Fraternity, we shall not be exposed to any honest outsid e criti­ cism at any time. Faithfully and fraternally yours,
