" He writes, "In 1907 Hanover College was not so prosperous as in the present days. The girls had a lavatory in the basement of the old Main Building and were furnished toilet pape_', but the boys had to go over the point of the hill toward the river for their morning's morning. Nothing was furnished. Five boys discussed the situation and decided to festoon the chapel with toilet paper from the girls' lavatory. One of the boys recanted because he was always caught at whatever he did. The others did a beautiful job. Unfortunately, Old Mack, the janitor, snooped and removed all of the toilet paper before school started except one little scrap at the top of the chandelier which remained there until the build ing burned.

HOMECOMING - OCTOBER 14, 1967 \r\nA Message From the President A man's purpose in entering college is to obtain an education. A fraternity's purpose is to encourage scholarship and foster a man's education. Tau Chapter is doing just this. Last fall term, Tau won the scholarship trophy for the fraternities with a 2. 783 point average. For the winter-spring terms last year, the fraternity won the trophy with a house average of 2. 885, placing the Men of Tau above the all men's average, all fraternity average, the all school average, the all women's average, and the all sorority average. We are proud of this achievement and if a journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step, last year in scholarship we took that bold first step. This year we must continue along the same lines of excellence, not only in scholarship but in all phases of fraternity life. We are trying to up-grade our public and campus relations. We are turning careful attention to rush. We are improving the physical facilities of the Chapter House, and finally we are working to enlist more enthusiastic support and interest from the graduate brothers. In each of these endeavors I ask your help. Tau will be looking forward to seeing YOU at Homecoming on October 14th. F raternally, Stephen J. Beardsley, President Perge! In order to keep brothers informed of each other's ac tivities, Tau Tales solicits information pertaining to our graduate brothers. Please jot down your activities, news, etc. on this form and send it to: Phi Gamma Delta, Han over, Indiana. This information will be printed in subse quent editions of Tau Tales for your classmates!
