EDITORIAL The sixth year has arrived and again we are sending forth into the great world of Fijidom this little paper with the sincere hope that it will find a resting place in the heart of every true and loyal Phi Gamm. There must be a fraternal fire burning within you and to this bit of kindling is added that it may burn its brightest. If it serves to awaken in you memories of your own careless undergraduate days we shall feel that we have been well re paid for our labors. Why do we issue this pamphlet if it is not to enliven in you the in terests of your chapter and of your fratern ity. We have done our part but have you done yours? Just count the number of times you have written us or have made us a visit that will answer the question. If you have not done your duty now is the time We all realize Bro. Alumnus, that you have your business cares and other troubles—perhaps little ones—which may cause you to forget your past joys. Turn over a new leaf, forget your troubles and be joyful. There is not a one of you will deny that your college days were the happiest that you have ever had. That being the case come back to the house and rejuvenate these pleasant hours. The house is ever open to you and the boys are waiting for you with welcoming hands and hearts. DO IT NOW, COME AND SEE US.

There is a standing deliquent committee in the house whose duty it shall be to keep a monthly record of the tanding of every brother and to aid those ®1,0 have fallen below their standard in work. \r\nEarly in the evening of July 28, Brother Dan OUR FRATERNITY MAGAZINE iels was passing the burnt ruins of the Hotel In the last issue of THE PHI GAMMA DELTA a call was issued for 1000 new sub scribers. This magazine has been shamefully neglected during the last few years, and by whom, surely not the editor or any of those who aided its publication, but by the general Alumni. Here are some cold figures that will tell the whole story. Out of a general gradu ate body of 12000 members just 400have sub scribed. This chapter has 181 graduates and only 3 have entered their subscriptions. The percentage of Alumni subscribers in other chapters is way ahead of ours so lets take a brace.

A high wind was blowing that nigh and one of the walls of the hotel, in front of which he r was passing, was toppled over on top of him, killing him instantly.
