Graham, ' 38 Vice-President, Harry L. Blaisdell, ' 38 Secretary, George J. Haylon, ' 39 Treasurer, Everett W. Eldridge, Jr., ' 39 The Interfraternity Council, which meets on the first Wednesday of every month, is composed of two men from each fraternity. Its purpose is the strengthening of the bond of friendship between these organizations. Besides renewing the annual competition, the Council also sponsors an Interfra- ternity Convocation every spring. It also holds a banquet, at which the junior mem- bers of the Council are given keys in recognition of their work. President Baker, Dean Machmer, and one other interesting speaker are invited. The Council was represented at the National Interfraternity Conference in New York by Donald Silverman, ' 38. This year an entirely new set of rushing rules was instituted, the main feature of which was the elimination of second semester rushing. A Fraternity Bible was published for the first time in order to give the freshmen the history, meaning and importance of fraternities in college life. A new committee was formed to work in conjunction with the Student Life Committee in an effort to attain greater harmony between the students and faculty. [175}

a. 0. V. Q. T. V. FRATERNITY Founded at Massachusetts Agricultural College May 12, 1869 Colors: White and Brown As the oldest fraternity on this campus, Q. T. V. has a history that is nearly as long and fascinating as the history of the college itself. But since last year a brilliant new phase of development has com- menced. In the late Spring of 1937, the house instituted an annual formal dance as a part of the regular fraternity program. Last Spring the dance was held on the 15th of May and was a tremendous OFFICERS President, William B. Graham Vice-President, William J. Collins Secretary, Leonard C. Wirtanen Treasurer, Warren S. Baker, Jr. Soon after this, a project was started to improve the beautiful interior of the famous old Fearing estate which has been the home of Q. T. V. since 1915. A timely examination of the woodwork re- sulted in having the entire house redecorated on the inside. This work was supplemented by re- conditioning the tennis court in the rear of the house, a task which will take two years to com- plete satisfactorily. When the house has been re- painted on the outside, the ambitious program which began this year will be completed. The fall term found Q. T. V. activities shifting from improvement of the estate to preparation for the inter-fraternity competition. The announce- ment of awards in 1936-37 inter-fraternity competi- tion came out in October, and found Q. T. V. in third place. As a result of fall rushing, the house pledged fifteen men — eleven freshmen, two sopho- mores, and two juniors. And as the first semester came to a close, Q. T. V. was leading in inter- fraternity football and volley ball leagues, later emerging in first place in both. In retrospect, the scholastic, academic, athletic, and social activities of Q. T. V. during this past year have heralded a new era of accomplishment for the fraternity, as well as a period of even greater service to the ideals of the college. Such a year justifies the reverence which Q. T. V. men feel for the tradi- tions of their long-established brotherhood. The chapter thus becomes more than a mere fraternity; it becomes an admirable heritage, on this same campus where it was founded as a literary society so many years ago.
