* THE INTERNATIONAL* FRATERNITY OF DELTA SIGMA PI

Founded at New York University, School* of Commerce, Accounts and Finance, on November 7, 1907, by Alexander F. Makay, Alfred Moysello, Harold V. Jacobs and H. Albert Tienken.

A fraternity organized to foster the study of business in universities: to encourage scholarship and the association of students for their mutual advancement by research and practice; to promote closer affilia­ tion between the commercial world and students of commerce, and to further a high standard of commercial ethics and culture, and the civic and commercial welfare of the community.

ROTHER JOHN L. McKEWEN was born in Baltimore, Md., on January 1, 1899. He was initiated B into Chi chapter on April 14, 1923, four months after the chapter was installed at the University of Maryland. He served as Head Master of his chapter in 1924 and 1925 and graduated from the Uni­ versity of Maryland in 1925. He immediately affiliated with the Baltimore Alumni Club of Delta Sigma Pi and served as its President from 1926 to 1932. He became interested in national fraternity affairs and was Director of the Eastern Province of the fraternity for a number of years. He was elected to the Grand Council in September 1933 and was elected as the Twelfth Grand President of the fraternity in September 1939. Brother McKewen is a Certified Public Accountant in the city of Baltimore and a member of the ac- - counting firm of Irving & McKewen there. He is past President of the Baltimore chapter of the National Association of Cost Accountants and is President for the ensuing year of the Maryland Association of Certified Public Accountants. He is also a member of the American Institute of Accountants and is a lecturer in accounting at Johns Hopkins University where our Chi Chapter is now located. . Both Brother and Mrs. McKewen are well known throughout Delta Sigma Pi circles. Their Baltimore home is the favorite and frequent meeting place of many Delta Sigma Pi groups. Brother McKewen will give us an administration that will be in keeping with the highest and best traditions of the fraternity. 0 t D f LT fi S I G M R PI

Another idea of the new economics is that you can obtain something for nothing. This idea throws to the wind all the lessons of history and ignores logic. A grand time is being had with this idea in California just now. Because an administration was elected by favoring a scheme of $30 a week for every one over a certain age, that plan will be sub­ mitted to a popular vote in November. If voted, it not only won't work but will go a long way toward wrecking the finances of the State. It is based on the utterly false assumption that something can be ob­ tained for nothing. Although a similar idea has failed in the Province of Alberta, Canada and has well nigh wrecked decent government there, its advocates still preach it with fanatical zeaL Let us look this idea squarely in the face. Is it not evident that all the goods and commodities that we use in our daily life-food, clothing, housing, etc.-are produced through the labor of others; that all goods and commodities are the result of materials being combined with labor, implemented by the use of tools and machinery?
