The Inn is named for john B. Minor, Professor of Law at-the Univer- sity from 1846 through 1895. Throughout its history, Minor Inn has selected its members from students in high academic standing at the Law School. The original requirement was a 3.0 average, but in recent years the Inn has selected its members from the top fifteen per cent of the enter- ing class. Primarily social, the fraternity nevertheless contributes in several significant ways to the Law School. Each year an award of 3550.00 is presented to the member of the Law Review whose decision is adjudged best by the faculty committee. Perhaps Phi Delta Phi's best known contribution is its annual presentation of the Libel, burlesquing the eccentricities of the faculty. This year's show was the Fiftieth Annual Libel and was dedicated to judge Armistead Dobie, one of the Libel's founders. The show, which originated in 1903 as a part of the initiation of new members, has for many years, except for a brief period during the '20's when it was banned, been offered to faculty and students as a full scale play, traditionally at Easter weekend. All proceeds are turned over to the Dean's Discretionary Fund. A second traditional function of Minor Inn, antedating even the Libel, is the Tally-Ho at Homecoming Weekend. This year, as usual, the 'fraternity was carried to reserved seats by its tally-ho carriage and two-horse team, The pre and post-game parties were signifi- cantly different this year, but nevertheless a great success . . . and kept out of the news- papers. The Inn boasts a distinguished group of alumni, many of whom are serving on the Law School faculty. The presept group of Phi's are active in many other activities and have received recognition for leadership. Three are ODK, six are members of Raven Society, and several are Phi Beta Kappa.

The fraternity has active senates in more than sixty law schools throughout the country, and alumni organizations in over thirty cities. The Robert E. Lee Senate of the University of Virginia was established in 1919. The Fraternity accomplishes a three-fold purpose through the cooperation of the students, faculty and alumni. Primarily, Delta Theta Phi serves as a medium through which ideas and suggestions for the benefit of the law student body may be exchanged. This is exemplified by the organization's bi-monthly luncheons where prominent business- men, practicing attorneys, and members of the faculty are presented as guest speakers. Secondly, the fraternity serves as a social organization with parties regularly held through- out the year on Law School and University dance weekends. Lastly, the organization serves as a link between students of the law and practicing members of the profession. Among its varied activities, Lee Senate manages the Delta Theta Phi Bookstore through which students may purchase and sell their casebooks at a sizeable saving. A portion of the income from the bookstore is used for the Delta Theta Phi Scholarship. Within the past few years, the fraternity has grown in size and activities, and thus is now better able to provide members with an opportunity to participate more actively in activities which bear directly on the curriculum of the Law School.
