Alpha Psi ( )nu a, in its thirteenth year at McKendree, has manifested new life and enthusi- asm. ( pening the year with an entire member- ship of faculty members, we began plans for more definite activity. A party was given at the home of Mrs. Grace Welch in honor of the pledges-elect made eligible by the Homecoming and earlier plays. After a pledge period, eight new members were inducted into our organization. A second pledge period added two new members. Alpha Psi has accepted the sponsorship of the faculty play, an activity which is anticipated to become an annual event, as of former years. This year the play presented was Pinero ' s The Enchant- ed Cottage with Mrs. Harold Hertenstein and Professor C. DeWitt Hardy playing the leads. Members of Alpha Psi met regularly to read and discuss drama. The meetings were held off the campus in the homes of the resident members and combined social pleasure with business. PROF.
