Farmer Charles ti. Robb FRATER IX FACCLTY David E. Roberts During the past year Sigma Xu I'hi has been able to maintain that enviable posi- tion which it has acquired, through the earnest cooperation of its members. Many new members have been added to our ranks. XYe hope that they will be able to enjoy the privileges that we otier. Social activities have been very fervent. The retiring officers have labored zealously to uphold those principles for which we stand. The officers for 1929 were: Chancellor, Ralph B. Guy: First Yice Chancellor, C. XVillard Gitzen: Second Vice Chancellor. George H. XYilsong Master of the Rolls. G. Cameron Bu- chanan: Registrar of the Exchequer, Lawrence H. Hoeferg Marshall. Charles Deeg. Our Chapter expects to be the host of the High Court of Chancery to be held in Detroit in l95l. It is with deep regret that we record the passing of the Honorable NYilliam Howard Taft, the twenty-seventh President of the Cnited States and former Chief justice of the Supreme Court, which occurred at his home in XYashington, D. C., on March 8, 1930. Uur chapter. which was founded in 1915, was named in his honor and with his per- mission. NYe have always felt greatly honored to have had so great a citizen as our first honorary member. His life and achievements are matters of such common knowledge that they need no eulogy. May each member strive to perpetuate those ideals that he has established. Page One Hundred Forty-seven

FORUMl ALPHA THETA KAPPA vlune, WSU, and the conclusion of the most successful year in the history of Alpha Theta Kappa, Under the able leadership of Chancellor Benjamin Kurtzman, we have made great strides toward the goal of offering to the brothers the social and scholastic opportunities that make college worth-while. The crowning achievement of the year and of the history of the fraternity is the acquisition of a splendid fraternity home-and oo-1 Putnam Avenue has been the scene of many a joyous get-together: a home for out out-of-town brothers. and a house of gocd-fellowship for all the brothers Life at law school is dull at best, but our aim in furnishing an outlet for the social activities of the brothers has done a great deal to remedy this. Our Midwinter Prom at the Lee Plaza, Winding up with breakfast at the Oriole Terrace. will long be re- membered as one ofithe most enjoyable affairs ever held, and set a high record for our annual Spring Formal, in prospect at this writing. One of the high-lights of our fra- ternity year is the Farce given by the pledges each semester for the benefit of the active brothers. Among our other activities are monthly luncheons, which have been addressed by alumni and by men prominent in their profession. Among those who addressed us in the past year were Herman A. August, who delivered a very interesting lecture on Probate procedure, and Dr. Harry August. who gave a wonderful talk on Psychiatry as related to juvenile Delinquency. The social activities of the fraternity have not hindered our scholastic aims, and there has been unusual competition among the brothers to win the Simon Stier Scholar- ship Key. As the winner must maintain an average of 855 or better during the last two years at the college. it is evident that that scholarship is more than of secondary importance to the fraternity. The unfortunate part of college life is losing brothers by graduation. Our lone graduate of the january, 1930. class at Detroit College of Law was Harry Dworin, The following large number will be graduated in June, 1930. from the Detroit College of Law and the Detroit City Law School: Howard Berger. Samuel Binkow. Robert Danto, Leo Kolodin, Benjamin Kurtzman, Arthur M. Lang, Sol Marks, James S. Nonen. George Parzen, Maurice Robbins. Ben C. Shapero, Harry Thurswell, ,lack M.
