He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love. LO'IIe is very patient, very kind, LO'IIe knoweth no jealousy; Love makes no parade, Love gives itself no airs, is never rude, never selfish, never irritated, never resentful,· LO'IIe is never glad when others do wrong; Love is gladdened by goodness, always slow to expose, always eager to believe th e best, always hopeful, always patie11t. Love never disappears. Thus, faith, hope, and love last on, these three, but the greatest of all is love. This scripture from I John is the cornerstone of our concept of loyalty, friendship and integrity. Love in all its power is the basis of strength we need today. This basic belief provides the rock of strength upon which Kappa Kappa Gamma stands. " .... foursquare to all the winds that blow." Tennyson's thoughts suggest that there are stormy winds in our lives. For Kappas in colleges and universities these problems tend to be centered around collegiate life. We are often inclined to lose track of greater concerns in the world as we go about our busy life of classes, examinations, meetings, and social events. Alumnm, however, have lived beyond college days, and see more lucidly the threats that the four winds bring. The threats of Communism, world war, depression become clearer as one leaves formal schooling and faces the realities of life. We believe that the concepts of love, loyalty, and friendship among the members of our fraternity provide us with a basis of strength to meet the problems of life. If we carry through college and into our mature lives a dedi­ cation to the principle to which we have pledged ourselves in Kappa, we will meet with equanimity the challenges of political, economic, and social de­ velopment. Let us pray. Dear Lord, Who knowest us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that by the reason of the frailty of our nature we cannot always stand upright; grant to us such strength and protection as may support us in all dangers. Mercifully accept our prayers, and because, through the weakness of our mortal nature, we can do no good thing without Thee, grant us the help of Thy grace, that in keeping Thy commandments we may please Thee both in will and deed. We pray for Thy special grace upon this hour, not for this hour's sake, but that all of life may be elevated and strengthened. May our fraternity life be more wholesome, our difficulties borne with more fortitude, our work done with better fidelity, honesty, and kindliness, and our friendships more faithful, because we have met here.

With this state­ ment Mary Turner Whitney, Fraternity President, set the background for the opening Conven­ tion program and established the theme for the meeting. Continuing she said, "Through the years we of Kappa Kappa Gamma have shown a loyalty and a responsibility to heritage. We have felt an obligation to instill and encourage among our members a self-dedication to the preservation of our free society, knowing the wisdom of Goethe's words, what you have inherited from your fathers, earn over again for yourselves, or it will not be yours. "Throughout this week we hope to develop as the theme of our convention the establish­ ment of our Fraternity upon this basic rock of freedom, and the development of that Fraternity as a source of strength to us now in this time of decision." The English s trata Following closely upon Mrs. Whitney's opening remarks, Jean Hunnisett Hayhurst, R 'lr­ Toronto, adviser representative from Beta Psi Chapter in Toronto, traced briefly the substrata of English history upon which the great democratic way of life, cherished by both Canadians and their neighbors of the United States, was built. She pointed out that "The English people evolved from an amalgam of Iberian neolithic man, Celts, Romans, Jutes, Angles, Saxons, Danes and Normans. The clash of racial strains gave great range to the English genius, which is found in politics, agriculture, commerce, literature, the arts, war and colonization . ... From the time of the Anglo-Saxon Witenagemot to the twentieth century Parliament, there has always been some form of organization or machinery for criticizing the government. This may sound inefficient in the short run; but it is most efficient in the long run, because there is always someone trained to take over responsibility. It is liberty alone which fits men for liberty. * Conven.tion theme taken from Alfred Lord Tennyson. 4 "Like the Americans after them, the Eng­ bility. It is no real accident that women and lish have always felt that the state exists for freedom for women also grew from constitu­ the individual, not the individual for the tional liberty with responsibility. It is no acci­ state.
