From a small group of seven members, the fraternity has expanded into a well-knit active mem- bership of thirty-one students. The fraternity has continued to progress marvelously, both socially and educationally. The friendships that have grown within this group well bespeak their lofty ideals of fraternal- ism. Not content to restrict their enthusiasm for advancement within the fraternity, Phi Theta Epsilon recently presented a handsome bronze plaque to the College. This material token of cooperation now graces one of the portals that flank the entrance to the Campus. Phi Theta Epsilon was founded primarily for the study and advancement of Professional Optometry and, in all the years since its establishment, the fraternity has charted a course true to this ideal. Numerous requests for the extension of active chapters into other opto- metric institutions have been refused. This refusal of new chapter charters has always been based upon the failure of other optometric institutions to meet the high standards embodied in the Doctorate Degree of P. S. C. O. ln college as well as in the optometric world, Phi Theta Epsilon has always been most active. The spirit of fraternalism and good-fellowship, instilled during the undergraduate days, has been carried on by our Brothers in the Profession. To our Brothers who are leaving this chosen group, we wish all the success and rewards that they so richly deserve. We who remain take up the torch, as you pass it down to us, and carry on for the greater glory of Optometry and Phi Theta Epsilon. One Hundred and Twenty-eight
