HE picture above depicts an
historic event in the annals of the fratern::
1 It shows the conference
which attended the transferring of the ownershit
Ike Phi Gamma Delta
House at the University of
Chicago to a trustee fort,
general fraternity.
The house was owned by
Philip S. Harper (Columbia '16), Chicago In-anuf:
turer, who is seated in the
center of the group. The trustee is Louis E. Lever
(Dartmouth '04), President of Phi
Gamma Delta, seated at the left. Standt,
are John F. Dille

Upsilon Alumni Assoc..
tion; Fraternity Trustee
Marshall B. Dalton (Massachusetts Tech. '15),
ternity Trustee William J.
IVardall (Illinois '08) and Senior Councilor Cal
Chambers (Wisconsin '12).
The house is occupied by the
flourishing Chi Upsilon Chapter, whose corpo,
tion is now engaged in what
promises to be a highly successful campaign to Tai
funds to purchase it from
the trustee. The funds thus made
available will
turned over to the fraternity.
The fraternity is indebted to
Richard Corwine Stevenson (Ohio IVeskyan'1,'
for making available, as a
labor of fraternal love, the
services of his Chicago la''
firm in consummating the
arrangement.
