DIQESCIDIIDTO History of the Fraternity ilyfff-' Chi Iota Phi was organized on January 8, 1929, through the efforts of a group of forward and scholarly students of the St. Louis 'College of Pharmacy, the purpose of which was to aid the cause of Pharmacy wherever possible, and to uphold Pharmacy with other learned professions. ,Being the first organization of this nature in school. many difficulties were encountered during the early life of the Fraternity. I-Iowever, by everlasting and consistent work of this group of students, Chi Iota Phi obtained a charter, thereby gaining recognition and firmly organizing the Fraternity. The first President was James A. I-Iart. During this year Chi Iota Phi became a growing organization and rapidly assumed prominence in school activity. Many informal gatherings were held, and members were endowed by everlasting good fellowship during the first year. Wfilliain Mooney was chosen as the second President. In this year member- ship was greatly increased and the fraternity became an active part of the school life. In the third year, under the leadership of William P. Gurske, the organization was firmly established and the ideal of the Fraternity was ever prevalent. Stand- ards and ideals were of the highest and membership in so worthy an organization was indeed an honor. This year the Fraternity gave the first animal spring dance which was one of the leading social activities of the year. We are now in our fourth and most successful year. I-Iere under the direction of I-Ierbert Iacobus, we find an organization that is indeed one of Brotherhood. IV e have sponsored many activities during the school year including a campaign that Pharmacists must be College Graduates. The Fraternity gave the first dance of the school year and closed the social year with a very brilliant formal party. The spirit of Friendship and Fellowship created by Chi Iota Phi during these years, among the members, will endure forever. And it is this relation in con- nection with the high standards and willingness to co-operate that insures the success and higher esteem of Chi Iota Phi. .xx 'l Qi 'i a fir f Page Fifty-Two

-l-Ha DIQESCIDIIDTC e---- The Chi Iota Phi Banquet In the last week of December the Chi Iota Phi held an informal gathering at the Kingsway Hotel. The original plans were for a smoker, but these were later changed to a banquet. To say the least, the food was superb. Everyone enjoyed the meal, which was a good starter for an enjoyable evening. A well-chosen menu was selected by Mr. Thien. After the dessert, a few talks were given. President Jacobus gave the introductory speech introducing Professors Duclen, Hinrichs and 'Wf C. Clark. The speeches of the professors were interesting. After this the rest of the evening was spent in various ways. Part of the enter- tainment consisted of music by that senior with the well-known ability at the piano, Mr. Boyle, Later there was also bridge, pinochle, etc. The party finally broke up at about half past twelve. Members of the fra- ternity are looking forward to more banquets in the future and more excellent speeches by the professors. T--no I 3 2 Ds Page FiftyfFo1w
