LPI-IA Chapter of the national fraternity was established in Brooklyn Law School in the year 1911, one of the Hrst fraternal bodies in the school. Through the years it has maintained a place of eminence in the law school as a result of its activities, its scholarship standards, and its cooperation with school activities. The objects of Iota Theta are fraternal, social, and intellectual in scope. They include, briefly, the development of intellectual and social unity among its members, the promotion of higher ethical standards, good faith and har- mony in the conduct of their professional work among members of the legal profession and the promotion of the interchange of ideas tending toward the advancement of the science of the law. Toward these ends, Iota Theta, in the past, has been extremely active in sponsoring forums, radio programs, debates, round table discussions, lectures and many other activities open to the general public as well as students and members of the legal profession. Today among its several thousand alumni these same men who were so active in their undergraduate days are bringing further honor to Iota Theta and themselves as Congressmen, governmental of- ficials, judges, Professors of Law, and successful and respected members of the bar. During the war years Iota Theta's activities were necessarily curtailed for reasons common to other civilian activities, and mainly for the reason that prac- tically all of its members were in the various armed services of our country. At present we are trying to rebuild and re-establish our usual expansive activities. . The first problem, that of increasing our ranks, is being solved by the in- duction of undergraduates of high scholastic standing in keeping with the tradition of the fraternity. The problems of re-establishing active contact with our alumni, and replenishing our treasury, were effectively initiated through the efforts of Past Praetor Primus Bernard Wolf f'29j and Prater Irving J. Applebaum, who conceived and effectuated, with the aid of Fratres Morris Sbinowitz and Leon Dusewitz, the combined Graduate Convocation and Induc- tion Dinner held in the Mirror Ballroom of the Brass Rail Restaurant on De- cember 12, 1947. This affair served to induct some twenty new men into our ranks, and, due to the encouraging turnout of alumni, to renew our bonds of fraternity with the men who preceded us, and, incidentally, to swell our coffers by several hundreds of dollars contributed by our alumni. Among those present and participating as honored guests were Congressman A. J. Multer, Judge J. J. Schwartzwald and Judge M. M. Weclut, Vice Dean Prince, Founders Percy Freeman and Samuel Brettler, and many other prominent Iota Theta men. With the funds obtained through this affair, Alpha Chapter is now in the process of reupholstering and refurnishing its Sanctum in the law school build- ing. Prominent among plans for the immediate future is the dedication of our library to the memory of Professor Edwin Welling Cady, who as a frater, teacher, and as a man so deeply inspired and influenced all those who had the privilege of knowing him in the paths of learning and humanity. So guided by its ideals, and in the bonds of fraternity, Iota Theta looks to the future with confidence and hope. Pm Semi rw cgfie 1948 Gfzanceffor
