13y W. MASSEY FOLEY Grand President W EWILL celebrate another htrthtlay of Phi Kappa Tau on March 17th. The year just closed ha~ bcw undoubtedly the most trying one which we, in common with all college fratermtics, nave experienced for a long time. Some of our chapters have been able to withstand the continued onslaughts of economic pressure more effectively than others, but every one of them has survived the ordeal gallanrly, with lots of determination left over. The national organization closed ils fisca l year in very good condition. A greatly reduced operating income was literaiiy made to be sufficient for current expenses, and a modest amount wa:. added to the surplus funds of the fraternity.

We have much for which to he thankful. It IS my sincere hope that every active chapter and every alumni orgam:ation will make our next birthday an occasion for appropriate expression of our good fortune. When we meet together, renew old friendships and make new friends, Phi Kappa T au and its every member is a disttnct beneficiary. The commemoration of our founding, and the date dedicated to our Honored Founders, is mdeed an appropriate occasion for such meetings, so beneficial to ourselves and to our beloved fraternity. - 2- THE LAUREL

Return to Fundamentals • • By WM. F. SMILEY T HE TENOR of the times has stripped from our institutions many of the superficialities which, for a whtle, had seemed to be the real hearts of those institutions. In most human activtt}' now, the more genuine, the more deep-rooted purposes have again come to light as we have been compelled to cast aside much of our outward display. This has been true in college curricula, in government, and in business. T his change has been, in many respects, a beneficial one. It has awakened us to the realization that underneath the glittering surface of our institu­ tions there lies something deep and mcamngful, something which cannot be taken away by the curtailment of budgets. It is with the realization of this fundamental change in our many institutions that we commend to the chapters of Phi Kappa Tau an observance of Founders' D ay in keeping with the spirit in which the fraternity was born, as recommended by G rand President Foley. Recognition of the anniversary of our founding should be a ceremony that wiil impress the members with the fraternal principles to which they have dedicated themselves. There need be no elaborate banquets, no great amount of money spent in such a celebration, for such would be out of harmony with the real purpose. Alumm should be urged to return for a rededication to vows they took as initiates, to feel ag:tin the thrill of intimate association within the chapter hall. The spirit of this sort of simple gathering should impress the undergraduates by its very solemnity and sincerity. It should teach them that the real worth of a fratermty is tested by the degree of harmony and cooperation existing in the inner circle of chapter life. Dances and social functions, particip

Heretofore, much as we have done for the individual, it has been merely an inevitable by-pro­ duct of our tdealism and our attitude. \Vhy should not the fraternity devote itself consciously to the task of building men of character?
