dominant force from the outset of his tenure�but he reached the pinnacle of his statesmanship during the six-year period preceding his tragic and rela tively sudden death from cancer in July of 1953 at the age of 63. As Republican floorleader in the Senate, particu larly at the outset of President Eisenhower's new administration, Senator Taft charted his own polit ical course, got along harmoniously with Mr. Eisen hower who defeated him for the GOP nomination in Chicago in 1952, steering much of the Presi dent's first legislative program through to comple tion.

He was a champion in every respect�whether friend or foe found agreement with his political philosophies. He was that in the Ohio Senate where he wrote the present basic tax laws of this state; he was that in Washington and on the stump for the Republican nomination for President, a cher ished goal he couldn't attain. His political foes privately acclaimed his high character and fighting qualities as emphatically as his closest aide. Who, in the midst of a bitter struggle for the GOP presidential nomination, would have assailed the legal concepts of the Nuremberg war trials in Germany as did Senator Taft one Saturday after noon, completely confounding his campaign asso ciates and sparking a nation-wide controversy for months?

they spent. These concepts, once regarded now have as shocking and revolutionary, been adopted widely. And their success has been demonstrated by the high rank ing of Chicago's graduates in the test- measuring academic achievement. In research, the pioneering tradition has been equally strong. During World War II, the university took over the scientific research which led to the atomic bomb, a project so tremendous that no other organi zation volunteered to undertake it. In the west stands of Stagg Field, scientists un leashed the energy in the nucleus of the atom. At the war's end the university ad ministration, anxious to retain the services of the scientists who had contributed to the national defense in such a major way, established its Institute for Basic Research. In this, teams of scientists co-operate in the study of the nucleus of the atom, of the behavior of metals, and of the effects of radiation on living cells. Among the scien tists gathered in this institute are Nobel Prize winners Enrico Fermi, Harold C. Urey, and James Franck.

We are planning a party week-end beginning April 24, and Spring Houseparties May 15-17. We extend to the Brotherhood an invitation to all of our social functions both this spring and next fall.

As the Brothers of Zeta Zeta leave U.B.C. after the spring exams, they can look back upon some signfficant achievements during the past year. Without doubt the most impor tant of these has been the successful launch ing of the fund drive for a new House on fraternity row, an event that foUowed months of careful planning by the Alumni Associa tion and the executive of the active Chapter. The response has been highly encouraging, and if there are no unforeseen delays the Chapter's new physical plant, which will be the most modern on the row, should be in operation by the end of this year. Great credit for this outstanding achievement must go to the alumni of Psi Upsilon who have so gen erously subscribed to this project, and to those members of the active Chapter who have worked so untiringly to convert mere wishful thinking into concrete reality. The winter term at U.B.C. started auspi- 86 THE DIAMOND OF PSI UPSILON ciously for the Zeta Zeta with the conclusion Psi U debating team narrowly lost out in the of a successful .spring rushing program.
