Luncheon meetings, where members share ideas with professional guest speakers, are a principle function of the chapter. In addition, the chapter actively participates in intramural sports events and sponsors regular social gatherings for the members. The social highlights for the year are the Home- coming Dinner Dance and the Spring Ball. At these lively events, members of the national fraternity govern- ing board, alumni, and present members feast and frolic with dates and wives. Tau Epsilon Rho is a national fraternity of 5,000 members. It began its existence as a national fra- ternity in 1921 when two local law fraternities from Western Reserve University and Ohio State University combined to form Tau Epsilon Rho, an Ohio Corporation. Sixteen undergraduate chapters have been founded since its inception, the last being Phi Chapter at the University of Miami in 1952. Ten active graduate chapters maintain ties between alumni members from Boston to Chicago and from Milwaukee to Miami. Each year the fraternity holds a national convention hosted by one of the graduate chapters. Moot court competition, business meetings, and festive social gatherings combine to make a gay atmosphere over the New Year's Holiday. The Benjamin N. Cardozo Memorial Award is presented at each national convention to the person who best exemplifies the spirit of Cardozo in contributing to our democratic way of life. Among the distinguished recipients of the Award are: Honorable Robert H. Jackson, Honorable Frank Murphy, Honorable Learned Hand, Honorable Fred M. Vinson, Honorable Roscoe Pound, Pearl S. Buck, and Adlai E. Stevenson. 51 Dave Kerr . . . ...... Chancellor Paul Grant . . . . . .Vice Chancellor Bill Barris . . . ........ Bursar Steve Raimi . . . ......... Historian Fred Grimm . . . . .

PHI ALPHA DELTA Ed Henneke . . Bob Hollenshead Ed Henneke , Justice Phi Alpha Delta QPADj was organized nationally November 8, 1902. It currently has 147 active and alumni chapters, more than any other professional legal fraternity. PAD provides such services to students as a national endowment loan fund, placement services on a national scale, a group insurance program for life, disability and professional liability, a national publication sent to each member without change, and a Supreme Court clerkship provided by the United States Supreme Court Justice Clerk. Michigan's James V. Campbell Chapter was chartered on March 11, 1905. Campbell Chapter does not have a house, but, nevertheless, a very active professional and social program is maintained. The main profes- sional activities include weekly luncheon meetings at which Various pro- fessors, attorneys, and other persons of related professional fields are invited to speak, legal internship in law offices in Ann Arbor, legal aid to indigent criminals, Circuit Court clerkships, experience in the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office and various other activities. These services are maintained with the aid of alumni who are either judges or practicing attorneys in Ann Arbor. PAD is one of the few fraternities that can offer extensive opportunity for practical experience to supplement law school training, yet PAD is able to provide these benefits at minimal cost to its members. PAD also sponsors various social events throughout the year. Membership is open to all male law students in good standing at Michigan. Eight professors and two judges of the Washtenaw County Circuit Court are alumni. RayGreen.... Larry Sharp . . . . . . Jack Frost . . . . . . . . . Justice Vice-Justice . . . . Clerk . . Marshall .

Clerk Pete Burkard, De an Since Delta Theta Phi was founded in 1913 by the union of three older legal fraternities, it has grown steadily, until it now has more student senates and active alumni groups than any other law fraternity. Christiancy Senate at the University of Mich- igan Law School was one of the charter senates when the fraternity was formed, having been founded in 1912. The present fraternity house, one of several the group has had in Ann Arbor, has been the home of the Delts for only three years, and is now being purchased by them. The house carries on a somewhat fluid and always enjoyable social program designed for hard-working fand otherj law students who are looking for week-end sociability. Limited only by the imagination of the social chairman and the vigilance of the local constabulary, the program usually includes a Saturday party often with combo, and a variety of Friday night record dances, Sunday punch and jam sessions, and special parties. Of course the house is always open for a late drink and bull session. Current expenses are met by regular membership dues, the purchase of the house is being handled through very generous support from the alumni and pledges from all the active members for future contributions. A substantial program of physical improvements is now nearing completion. The roster of Delt alumni includes such men as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Calvin Coolidge, J. Edgar Hoover, Judge Voelker, and many other judges, senators, governors and educational and business leaders. On the local scene Delts continue to be well represented in Law Review, Lawyers Club Executive Council, Campbell Competition, S,B.A., Psurfs, Coif, and Barristers. fleft to rightj SEATED: G.
