DECEMBER. 1965 PAGe 3 memoriam

It is impossible to estimate how much a man of so many enthusiasm and accomplishments will be missed by the bro­ thers of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. Brother 1. Gregory New­ ton was not only a strong force in the fratemity. he was a strong force in the main streams of American life. He made his contribution to mankind by serving as a soldier, civic leader and educator.

Brother 1. C'tegory Newton would have been progress­ ive, forceful and respected in any field or profession. His per­ ception, his com passiel11 and his strength made him a giant among educators and leaders

"The measure of a life, after ali, is not its duration, but its donation. How much wr'll you be missed?"- Peter Marshall

(Conlilllled .from Page 8) be to be his brother's keeper. I do not mean to imply that one embraces each many equally, that each receives his pin, his last -cigar or the shirt off his back. I mean that whether in business or ·pro­ fession, as an educator or a doctor, a mechanic or a president, the Omega man objectively attributes to every man an irreplaceable endowment of dignity and inherent worth, The worth may have no immediate value to you but by the virtue of the breath of life in every human b~ing, he deser'ves the respect of some­ one's brother. Summary Fraternalism in our collegiate chapters a.! they exist today is rather an on-going search for fraternalism. It must be con­ stantly proved and re-examined. It is poorly explained and is not easily found. It does not come with the shingle or the pin If it does, it is an empty Omega spirit. It is based upon moral law and a belief in unseen things. It comes after a lot of soul-searching, a lot of stumbling and individual heartache. You can be proud of your experience with Omega if through it you gained a deeper sense of fraternalism. My wish is that each one of you can enjoy this priceless gift. Perhaps your present chap­ ter has not given you this sense of which I speak, but I believe we must all be dedicated to its discovery.
