Their thoughts following the line of frater- nalism, caused them to organize what turned Out to be the nucleus of the Phi Theta Epsilon Fraternity. The first constitution was drawn up in l92O, but was subsequently revised during the school years of l922-23. lt was in this year that the Phi Theta Epsilon Fraternity was granted its national charter. Since that time, and in step with the development of the College itself, the Alpha Chapter has grown continuously, so that among its ranks are now numbered no less than forty-three active members. Social, scholastic, and athletic activities-all have come within the scope of the Frater- nity's active attention. The most prominent events on Phi Theta Epsilon's social calendar for the past year have been the Pledge Dance, the March Formal and, of course, the Spring Formal Dinner Dance. Notable at all these functions has been the outstanding attendance of alumni members-a marked indication of the spirit of friendship, the strong bond between members of the past and the present. The advancement of Professional Optometry has always been the aim of Phi Theta Epsilong and, throughout the years, the maintenance of the highest ethical standards has been insisted upon by the Fraternity. The failure of other optometric institutions to meet the necessary standards required to obtain the Doctorate Degree of P. S. C. O. has called forth the Fraternity's refusal to extend Patents for active chapters to them. Regretfully, Phi Theta Epsilon parts with its graduating members, sincerely it congratu- lates them. To those going forth, our toast is: Farewell and Success. ' l4O

All those connected with the organization, which was founded in l926, are highly pleased with the progress made during the past year. Starting the year with a brilliantly successful smoker, the social season continued with various affairs held dur?ng the school year. At the time this was written, plans 'had been completed for the annual dinner dance to be held at the Manufacturers' Country Club in Philadelphia. Also, during the course of the year, the fraternity presented a gift to the Magee Chemical Laboratory of the school. Ten new names were added to the fraternity roll call during the past year. The rituals were held on the afternoon of january nineteenth. That same evening, a delightful dinner dance for incoming freshmen was enjoyed at the Arcadia The dance was attended by a large group of alumni who added to the gayety of the occasion. The officers of the fraternity, led by Chancellor Charles Charron, should be highly commended for their unceasing efforts in making i934-35 a banner year and for instilling a new spirit in the fraternity. To those who leave us this year because of graduation, the fraternity wishes early success, and solemnly promises to carry on the traditions handed down by every past mem- ber of Ciamma Omega Phi Fraternity.
