Middaugh Matron Hilda Boyd President Nolia Coats Secretary Letha Kemp H Treasurer For sixty-five years, the Brick has been a conspicuous feature of Alfred University. It has sheltered more homesick Frosh than any other building on the campus. It is here that all kinds of girls are thrown together in the intimate trials and joys of daily life. The Brick means a little something different to each girl, but it cannot help but recall to their minds many past pleasures and a knowledge that they really are stronger and better for having lived this kind of a group life and learned the true spirit of cooperation.

Phi Psi Omega is an honor fraternity, chartered to form a bond between men in the two upper classes who have proven their loyalty to Alfred. The fraternity grew from the belief that honor is due not only to those who have attained high scholastic standings, or who have gained athletic prestige, but also to men who possess a certain degree of the good traits that go to make true manhood. That is, spiritual, mental, and physical develop- ment. The aim of the fraternity is to reward that effort that is honest and true in the interest of Alfred, and to give undergraduates a goal, to be gained through service and loyalty to their Alma Mater. qi-esgrnrnlxxu t o D191 ,V wi 1- 1 cr . 1 Il T!

i V , if ll if I if m 2 1 Q X J? - Eurhirk iilall Amid the bustle and confusion of our Freshman year, the timeworn outlines of Burdick Hall loom large. How well we can remember the feeling of lonliness as we forlornly surveyed our new home for the first time. To think that we had left peace and happiness for these bare walls and strange companions ! But a short time wrought great changes. The bare walls were adorned with a variety of objects of high artistic value-fantastic creations of Freshman varsatility in the art of decoration. The erstwhile strangecom- panions were fast becoming friends of a lifetime. Cheery greetings flew back and forth in the echoing halls. Occasional snatches of song arose, fol- lowed invariably by resultant confusion. Burdick Hall had become home. The days that followed grew colder. Nightly, strange sounds from with- out disturbed the slumbering Freshmen, and oft the limpid waters of Prexy's closed over whiteclad forms. Through all our dormitory life are trials and hardships. They are part of our education, and serve their purpose in our lives. We look back on Burdick Hall with A feeling of sadness and longing That is not akin to pain,- And resembles sorrow only As the mist resembles the rain. Ifgzifirqnlx tm FE u wif? D211
