Neither the Editor nor the Board of Directors is necessarily in sympathy with any of the opinions expressed in TnB DELTASIO. We feel that one of the most important mi ssions of a fraternity magazine is to cause the members to think about themselves; thought being the chief deairedation, authors are somtimes solicited for expressions of opinions in the feeling that their opinions are wrong, but likely to at.imulate argument. M8D1bers of the fraternity are invited tO contribute special articles on business and fraternity topica, and news items, concerning alumni. Closing date for reeeipt·of material for each iasue ia the ftrat day of the month of the date of lasue. · · EDITORIAL OFFIOE-222 W. Adams St., Ohicago, Ill. PUBLIOATION OFFIOE-111 N.
