F. Tait as faculty advisor, has served well its purpose during the past year. Outstanding in the work of the Council has been the successful formulation of a code of fair and sensible methods of rushing and pledging. In the i934-35 season the new code was utilized to the advantage of all concerned. This representative body asks all student organizations of the College to do their utmost to build friendly and social relationships. ' l34

For the first time in its two years of official existence, the fraternity is represented in all three classes of the college. joining with the other four fraternities in maintaining the integrity of the rushing code established last year, Omicron Delta Epsilon's activities in that respect were both dignified and effective. With eleven neophytes as a nucleus, a season of pledgeship was invoked for the purpose of training the pledgees in the ideals of the fraternity. Of this group, eight finally received initiation and, in an impressive ritual ceremony, were admitted to full mem- bership. The past year etched Omicron Delta Epsilon more firmly into the fra- ternal picture at Pennsylvania State College of Optometry. While emphasiz- ing the curricular activity of the members, a calendar of extra-curricular functions was prepared and expeditiously carried out to the complete satis- faction and gratification of all the members. Banquets, smokers, and dances were interspersed throughout the year, offering variety and pleasure to all who attended. ' l36
