TWENTY-SIX OUTSTANDING MEN
BECOME LAMBDA IOTA PLEDGES
This year, as in years past, the
FIJI rush was highly successful. Fol
lowing tradition, the two weeks of
intensive rush were utilized fully, in
cluding nightly smokers, a roller
skating party, a "Hippy" party, and
a "Roaring Twenties" party. Mike
Cannady, rush chairman, was instru

promptu, of course. The brothers
were justifiably pleased with the
selection, and rightfully named the
new junior actives the best pledge
class on campus.
This year's new Fiji's include:

Spencer Barrett, Martinsville, Ind.;
Kent Berner, Niles, Michigan; Gregg
Boehning, Lafayette, Ind.; John

The group displays a diversity of
talents, not the least of which is
scholarship; for the first semester,
the accumulative class index was 4.9,
high by any standards. Yet the oth
er campus activities manned by jun
ior actives show that the class is
well rounded and
versatile.
Athe-
letes in the group include baseball
players Gregg Boehning, who pres
ently attends school on funds from
the Chicago White Sox, the team for
which he is contracted to pitch. Mike
Christenberry, who travels with the
varsity squad, and Jamie Pratt, a
fine outfielder. Pratt also played on
the freshman basketball team, along
with George King, another two sport
man who plays golf in the spring.
John Bose wrestled during the past
season, competing in several varsity
meets, while Morgan Burke and Bill
boasts
a
number of outstand
ing high school atheletes who will
establish fine FIJI intramural teams
for the next three years. These in
clude basketball players Spencer Bar
rett, Tom Gamble, and Jack Morris
sey; tennis players Bob Burns and
Chip Woolverton; wrestler Mike Bul
ks, and trackmen Scott Sumner and
Steve Arey. Other interesting points
about those in the class include the
fact that Von Reichert is presently
in the Air National Guard, having
served his year of active duty; that
Kent Berner took a river trip in a
one man kayak from Illinois to
Texas last summer; that Stan Schultz
is a chorregrapher and math whiz,
and that Curt Linn, Mark Renie, and
Alan Bratkovich are fine instrumen
talists on the guitar.
It is obvious that each and every
member of this pledge class is more
than a student alone. We hope that
their widely varied talents will make
ever.v one of them a credit to Lamb

Doc" Crowder Speaks at
Founders Day Program
On May 1, 1970 approximately
twenty alumni returned to the Lamb
da Iota Chapter House for Founders'
Day Ceremonies. This meeting was
part of the regular monthly luncheon
series of the Alpha Graduate Chap
ter.
President Larry Lane, '50, intro
duced Burr S. Swezey, '13, who pre
sented the Swezey Service Award to
Tim Foley, '70, former undergradu
ate president. The award is given to
outstanding senior men of the Lamb
da Iota Chapter, who by the zealous
work for Phi Gamma Delta and the
University have become exemplary
citizens of the Purdue community.
Brother Foley's name was added
to the Swezey Service Trophy.
The principal speaker was Dr.
Richard H. Crowder, DePauw '31,
who prepared a special Founders'
Day message for the chapter. Be

on those present, the chapter wished

"It was in this busy, varied, and
interesting time — vital and stimu

born. Though contemporary events
were not subjects of formal study
at Jefferson College, they were most
certainly the topics of discussion of
many a midnight bull session in old
Fort Armstrong, the house where
John T. McCarty roomed, the house
indeed where our six first brothers
were gathered on that April Satur
day night in 1848 when they turned
at last to a discussion of the princi

true. There were rascally pranks and
some trouble-making. But in general,
the young men were dependable if
lively, responsible if spirited.
"Between April 22 and May 1 of
that year, six students in
particu

and their active imaginations toward

young men had had a maturing edu

—
the manly friendship that had grown
strong among the six of them ?
"And so they came together nine
nights later on the first Monday in
May, read and discussed the binding
document, and at length signed their
names thereto: first, the instigator,
the informing spirit of the new re
lationship, John T. McCarty; and
last, the Junior in their midst, N.
Fletcher, who was to become Wil
son's successor as president.
"The six weeks — think of it,
only six weeks — of fraternal asso
ciation that ensued were punctuated
b y frequent clandestine meetings.
The young men had discovered the
living truth of the strength to be
gathered from warm and faithful
friendship. They brought a few other
trusted
students
into
their
circle.
They established a second chapter at
the college in the town of Washing

"And then on Tuesday, June 13,
the night before Commencement,
they met together for the last time.
Sam Wilson, the first president, de
livered a valedictory. Discounting
the rhetorical language and the or
atorical structure that were the fash
ion of the day, we can find, in the
central paragraph of his remarks,
the core of the meaning of our fra
ternity, if it means anything worth
while at all. Said he in somewhat
impassioned prose: 'You have sworn
to be true to each other, true to
yourselves, true to the association.

lives. On the night of April 22, in

but most of all they had given con

"During those throbbing nine days,
Sam Wilson, with the able assistance
of Jim Elliott, drafted a suitable
constitution for this new society,
which was in truth a secret organi
zation, since its very existence was
undisclosed to any but the initiates
themselves until Commencement Day.
Sam Wilson had excelled in the study
of Greek. He it was who gave us the
principles on which our order has
built its 122-year record. He it was
who wrote out the ten pages of the
original constitution, exhorting the
new brothers 'to promote the inter
est, welfare, and harmony of the or
hood, of the values to be gained from
fraternalism.
"Important events were occurring
in the world in 1848. In this year
was laid the cornerstone of the Wash

"On the next day, five of the Im
mortal Six were gone out into the
world. The memories and the inspir
ation of those six weeks of genuine
brotherly affiliation were to stay
with them till death (some of them
never saw each other again) — six
weeks that had changed their lives,
six
weeks
that had
cemented
their
hearts forever, six weeks that were
to influence men far beyond the most
exalted speculations of the most exu

boys in that remote little town of

topic of discussion. The three pos

new house; revamping the present

annex, which would either be a
near-by house or a block of apart

complexes.
Because of the high cost of build

this was not presently an acceptable
solution. Remodeling and expanding
the present house seemed somewhat
feasible, but no further discussion
