THE LEMMERMAN PRIZE OFFER \ j ' A Cleveland Fiji recently remarked, "Karl I>?mmorman is so busy that he always luis time to do something for his fraternity." Sounds paradoxical, but it is a fact. In spite of Karl's many duties as a National Officer and in spite of his various activities with the Ad Club, The City Club, Reserve Alumni and other organ izations, he has still found time and money (and money talks) to give a bit of encouragement to the active boys in Xi Deutoron Chapter. Lommerman's offer consists of our scholarships and "R" prize, as follows: 1. To the member of the clas.s of 1925, in good frateimity standing, who^ acquires a scholarship standing highest among the P'iji broth ers in his class, providing it reaches a point equal lo, or superior to, the highest fraternity average in Adclbcrt College for that semes ter, a prize of $25.00. I • 2. To the member of the clas.s of 102'l, in good fraternity standing, who shows the greate.st percentage of schola)"ship gain over the I total freshman grades, a prize of $25.00. 3. To the member of the class of 1923, in good fraternity stand ing, who shows the greatest percentage of gain in scholarship over his previous year's showing, a prize of $25.00.

To every member of the chapter who wins his "R" on fo»)t-balI field this fall a prize of $25.Ou. tu be app ied to semester's tuition the his next account. With the.se incentives and the honors attached to the winnirg rf the prizes there should be a most noticeable increase in the schoiasl.ic, athletic and social standing of the Chapter, and the Alumni cf Phi Gamma Delta, both approve and applaud the unso;fishness that urged this offer. PRKSIDENT THWING RESIGNS With the coming of Armistice Day, November Ilih, Western Rediplomat in his circle and a mighty force In the growth of Western Reserve University and its various departments. To the Fraternity man "Prexy" was ever a friend, broad minded and ever ready to be hcli>ful where help was needed. Realizing that a Fraternity has a vital place and can be a vital foicc in any col.ege, servo University will lose the leadership of our old friend "Pr»xy" Thwing. a man known over the whole of the United States as one of the foremost educutors, as an author, a minister of the gospel, a it seemed to be his constant desire to encourage the right type of Greek letter societies to make the most cf their inherent possibiil;ies to the uilimate benefit of them.selves and of the college in which they exerted their spheres of influence. Phi Gamma Delta and its Alumni of Western Reserve wiil sorely miss "Prexy" and his kind offices, but wish him the real happiness that he deserves and that comes of a lifetime of unselfis^h service to others. On September 2.1th, the City Club of Cleveland will celebrate Re serve Day and will honor President Thwing as his thirty-one years of service to the University rapidly draw to a close. As there are about three hundred Re.scrve men in the Club, this will be an occa sion which will long be remembered among the alumni of the old Alma Mater. HISTORY OF PHI GAMMA DELTA Have you scon the really remarkable Tomas Alpha (Volume one) of the history of the Fraternity? If you have not read it you have probably never realized the characters of the strong men that built U]) the greatest National Fraternity, of which you should be proud to be a member.
