For a long time our brothers had expressed themselves as desiring some means of keeping in touch with each other and for inspiring the chapters. After many requests and only after as many promises of loyal support the last Grand Chapter authorized the publicatian of the .Journal as a monthly magazine. The many kind responses, some of which are printed elsewhere in this issue following the issue of the May number have convinced us of the value of the venture. The success which comes ensues only as a result of the hardest work and closest co-operation on the part of all of us. ('ertainly it has made the Editors' hearts glad at the splendid fratei'nal manner in which some of the chapters have responded to our every appeal. But on the other hand, we are surprised at the seeming lack of interest and general inertia on the part of some of the men. If you should meet a brother on the street and should ask him a question, would you not expect the courtesy of sonic sort of answer? Is not the same courtesy to be expected in the matter of correspondence? Repeated letters have been sent to some of the chapters and no reply of any description has been forth-coming. We have felt reluctant to omit news of these chapters but no other course lay open. Shall we not expect the whole-hearted co- operation of these brothers in making the Journal a complete success? It would facilitate matters greatly if the chapters would see that the Grand Polemarch and Grand Keeper of Records are informed of the correct list of their officers. In several cases mail must be addressed to men who have ceased to hold office, but of which change no word has been sent to the Grand Keeper of Records. Attention is directed to the ruling of the 1920 Grand Chapter that fees for each new initiate must include cost of membership certificate, membership card and plain pin. Chapters should send this money for the membership certificate and cai'cl to the Grand Keeper of Records at once. and published as his thesis, "The Spatial Con- ditions for the Fusion of Cold and Warmth into Heat." Because of his untiring efforts in the class room and his success in the laboratory, Dr. Boring, director of the laboratories at Clark Univei'sity, wrote: "Mr. Alston is a young man of rare qualities and is able to think indlependlently." After read- ing his thesis Dr. G. Stanley Hall accepted it and wrote in a personal letter to Mr.Alston, "I want to comnien (I you for your success in

Corn mencernent The period of youth is one of delightful picture-painting. Who does not recall the roseate pictures he once painted—pictures of a future in which he tilted at the world, and won! True it is that some of these pictures are cubistic, futuristic, or even Einsteinesque (requiring elucidation). And yet it is good for youth to indulge his vivid imagination. It is thus that progress and achievement are attained. At this season of the year the schools are preparing to graduate literally thousands of young men and women. Some of them, no doubt the vast majority of them, have already made conscious settlement with the multiplex possibilities of life's issues. Gallantly opti- mistic, they have ideationally hurled their javelins at the baloon and have pierced it Time will show them, as nothing else can, that they have not inaugurated or created a "new order." It matters not what line of studies one has pursued ; it matters not how brilliant one's attainments— there is infinitely more in life to he learned than one can learn in a dozen life-times. Why, it is a matter of impossibility, keen specialist though one might be, to exhaust the contents of even a sub-science. So the sane graduate will be humble nad will not proudly proclaim that graduation is the end of education, nor will he think that his diploma arms him with the key with which to unlock the sum-total of life's arcana. He will continue to apply himself diligently to further mastering the higher points of the studies which he has already started, and, re- lieved of the artificial regimen of a formal curriculum and the necessary pie-occupation which it entails, he will set about the task of his well-rounded cultural development. The embellishment of a broad culture is an asset in any field of human endeavor. In his intercourse with his fellow-men he will be liberal in his views, tolerant of the opinions of others, even when those opinions seem to him to be stupid and absurd, willing at all times to serve the community in which he lives,—sold to the principle of helpfulness. For this is the end of Education! Inauguration of the Pi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia In the fall, Brother Aiston, through whose untiring efforts Epsilon was established at Lincoln in 1915 appeared at Morehouse as Professor of Philosophy and Psychology. During the academic year 191 9-20, Brother Alston was a University Scholar at Clark University, \\orcester , Mass., and worked out

KAPPA ALPHA PSI JOURNAL

In the college activities Kappa Alpha Psi was well represented. In the Inter-Club League, three of the seven teams were owned and led by 'Kappa" men. Brother Alston managed and coached the "Sweeping Torna- does," who won the pennant. Brother Gayles was manager and played first base on the "Wild Cats" who came up to the finals un- defeated. Brother Davis was captain of the "Junior Tigers" and their success in making the finals may well he attributed to the stellar playing of Brothers Davis and Bozeman. Brothers Gurley and Johnson are both men of influence and considered among the best men of aftairs. REPORT OF REGIONAL DIRECTOR, Third District The Third District is making a very en- thusiastic showing with progress being shown n all the Chapters. Delta Chapter reports wonderful success in the class room, on the athletic field, and en the debating teams for the Kappa men. This Chapter, the oldest in Ohio, is a distinct credit to Wilberforce and the Fraternity. Zeta Chapter, one of the strongest letter Chapters of the FratcrnBy, is continuing on its way of success. Bro. J. Harmon Wilson. a Phi Beta Kappa man, has been the recipient of a scholarship to a French University on the completion of his course in medicine next year. Bros. Simpson, Exum, Sloan and Blythe and others are doing great work furtheriny the interests of our noble clan. The Detroit Chapter at present is .the weak member of our District but its members are as one in predicting that crc long they will be able to stand alongside the other chapters in the same old Kappa way. The Junior member of our chain, Cleveland Alumni, is really doing wonderful work. They are situated in the strongest Alpha Phi Alpha section of Ohio but are now second to none. We are planning an initiation on the second of June and at that time twelve men of true Kappa spirit will hit the trail to seek the secret of Kappa achievement. It is my hope that a District meeting will soon be held and any suggestions as to the date and place will he gratefully appreciated. With the best wishes to Kappa Alpha Psi members, I remain, Yours in the bond, HAROLD M. TYLER. 0

working out an original piece of work and add that you are the first man of 'our race to contribute to the American Journ,il of Psychology." Brother Aiston received hi, master's degree last June and was accredited two years' residence on his doctor's degree. Brother Alston lived and talked Kappa until he was able to interest several of the young men who had not already allied them- selves with one of the two other Fraternities already in existence. Brother Caesar F. Gayles, who had learned quite a hit of Kappa Alpha Psi while at home in Evanston serve,) very well as a guiding star in the direction of the activities of Epsilon in her embryonic state and was elected Polemarch of the chapter for the next ensuing year. The chapter is well balanced with men from each of the college activities. Brother \Vrthy was sub-manager of the football team for the past season and was elected a--istant manager for the season 1921 and will be manager during 1922. Brother \Vinters was sub-manager of the football teani and assistant manager of the baseball ('a in and will be manager of the be seball noni for the season 1922. Brother Gayles the individual football star last fall and (sauce of his abilities he was unani nouslv sisted captain for the next season. So well ii he play his position that the quarterback one of the opposing teams remarked, lake Gayles off the end and Morehousu (iDes ii have a team.'' Brother Lycucgus Gentry. var>ity halfback of 1919 was playing well in hi position until he was injured and the doctors retired him for the season but he nomises to be out next year in old time 1cm. Brothers Byron Gentry, Roberts, Grose and Gurley were rather conspicuous on the diamond and it looks as though there is going to be some rather hard pushing for the varsity next year. In scholarship we are well represented by Brothers Shockle , Plump and Roberts, who are all contesting for their class scholarships. Brother Gayles led his class in English and the Professor says of him, ''A man of rare abilitybut little effort." Brother Roberts gives promise of becoming a scientist of no mean ability. Brother Holmes is a physician of rare fame and with the knife has very few equals in the race. Although one of the busiest men in Atlanta, he has worked untiringly for Pi (hapter and insists that she must be the very best Chapter in the organization. On April the thirtieth, 1921, Brother David, the Grand Polemarch, arrived in Atlanta and initiated with the aid of Brother Alston fifteen stalwart, loyal aspirants into the mysteries of Kappa Alpha Psi. We have six pledges for the fall initiation. They measure up to the same standards as the other niem- hers. Mr. \Vm. Malcolm is the scholarship man of his class. Mr. Louis Irving, the varsity tackle for the past two years says that he plans to be better than ever on the gridiron next fall. Mr. Marc Terrell has the distinc- tion of being one of the very few men who is equally well in all the branches of college athletics. Then Messrs. Bozeman and Huggings are both men of good affairs and in flue nec.

Cleveland Prepares For Grand Chapter In I)ecember The Cleveland Alumni Chapter ii progress- ing in excellent fashion. Little less than a year ago seven of its members were granted their charter and so manfully have they plodded and worked that we now stand second to none in this city, which contains the strongest Alpha Phi Alpha chapter in Ohio. On Jane 2nd, we will hold an initiation for twelve pledges of real Kappa character seek- ing the secret of the great spirit and purpose of our Noble Clan. Doctors 0. A. Taylor, Owens, Craig, Christopher, Scott, together with Messrs. Gasaway, Wills, Morrison, Jef- ferson, Davis, and the Reverend Sothern will tread the trail to achievement. It is our hope to have a stronger chapter in the near future, which will comprise the men attending Western Reserve, Case, and Baldwin-Wallace Colleges. The Chapter sends its best wishes to its brothers and bids them to prepare for a won- derul trip to Cleveland in December. DR. HERBERT WALLACE, Polemarch. We have just received our Journals and everyone seems to be very enthusiastic over the new edition. We are now looking for- ward to a new era in the development of the K a p p a Alpha Psi spirit. —HARRISON HOLLIE, Polemarch, Mu of Kappa Alpha Psi. I wish you and your Staff unbounded suc- cess on the sea of your journalistic adventure for the Grand Old Clan. I will be glad to co- operate with you in all the ways that I can to make your voyage successful—H. W. JAMESON, Grand Keeper of Exchequer. I take this opportunity to express to you for Epsilon of Kappa Alpha Psi the deep ap- preciation for the style and the value of material, in fact, for the real worth of the ,Journal as a magazine of no mean appear- ance. And with the persistent effort and hard work that you and your Staff are putting into the project, it bids fair to make a mark that will be the envy of the whloe fraternity world.—E. WASHINGTON RHODES. After persuing every letter, I have reached the conclusion that it is one of the best Journals that it has been my good fortune to read. All those who have received them are in hearty accord with me in their unstinted praise.—DR. .JESSE J. PETERS, St. Louis Alumni Chapter.

New Alumni Chapter The C olumbus Alumni Chapter was estab- lished April 23, 1921. The Chapter roll con- Ists of the following: W. R. Morrison, M. D.; RI. Johnston, M. [). J. H. Wilson. A. B.; R. S. Sloan, A. B.; l. E. timpson, A. B.; R. C. Minor, A. B.; \V. R. Tyler, Ph.B.; J. E. Byrd, B. M. E.; R. S. Skelton, A. B.; C. H. Hunter, A. B.; S. Lane, A. B.; G. Williams, A. B.; W. Doyle, A. B.; A. Dotson, A. B. The purpose of this organization is to carry the principals of Kappa Alpha Psi from college into the larger sphere of after-life. The noble purposes and high ideals of our organization must be employed to enrich the future lives of its members and to wneliorate the social conditions of our communities. As a permanent association of college men we strive for the achievement of success in every worthy field of endeavor. With high hopes and courageous hearts the Columbus Alumni Chapter is struggling through its incipiency. But soon we shall leave our embryo and become a real power. Friday, June 3rd, initiation ceremonies will be held for seven candidates. The Chapter is arranging for club rooms to which it will welcome all Kappa Alpha Psi men when visit- ing in the city. E. E. SIMPSON, Polemarch. The Journal certainly shows the results of the hard and very excellent work as done by you and your Staff, and those of us who have only the easy task of reading and enjoying, tender to you our most grateful and hearty thanks toward your magnificient effort to make Kappa Alpha Psi the grandest and noblest Fraternity in existence—HAROLD M. TYLER, Regional Director, Third District. We wish you every success and extend our co-operation to the Journal for a Greater Kappa Alpha Psi.—LIONEL L. SPANN, Polemareh, Kappa Chapter. Accept our congratulations for the interest- ing subject matter and the neat form of the first issue of the Journal. We assure you our future co-operation in this worthy under- taking—Delta of Kappa Alpha Psi. Omicron Chapter heartily congratulates you and your corps of assistants on the suc- cess of the Kappa Journal. It is nothing to what it will be. You can count on Omicron Chapter for all the support needed to ''put it over."

credit in this field. In attaining social pres- tige and tavor no phase has been unexplored, and today Kappa Alpha Psi social programs are banded by the Chicago public as special features. It is in the field of material gain that we take great pride. Realizing that our home on Bryant Avenue does not possess the facilities necessary for our advancing needs, the once remote vision of a new home during the winter months of deliberations is now a fact. This new home will be the pride of local Kappa Alpha Psi men and an inspiration to visiting brothersand their friends. Tri- bute should be paid to the undaunted spirit and hard work exhibited by the "House Corn- niittee" to which was committed the task of securing an imposing home for the organiza- tion. The personnel of that comniittee is: Dr. Troy Smith, Polemarch, ex-officio; Earl B. Dickerson, Chairman; W. Ellis Stewart, and Thomas B. Mayo, Pilot.

This chapter is on the ascent to higher achievement in its endeavor to accomplish bigger things and help, with the wonderful co-ordinating spirit of THETA and IOTA chapters, to place Kappa Alpha Psi in the front rank of fraternities in this city. In order to do this we are advancing in the channels of scholastic achievement, social prosperity and material gain in all fields of business and professional activities. The Chicago Alumni Chapter is composed of brothers from various undergraduate chapters, who come here imbued with the basic principles and spirit of Kappa Alpha Psi, ready to contribute such knowledge and enthusiasm to a great work. With such factors to work with, our brothers in other localities could expect nothing less than some signal achievement. In the field of study nothing need be said as it is the first duty of every Kappa Alpha Psi to accomplish his purpose with honor and

ball Brothers Simms, Toilet and Sevell are starring. During the year we have been much en- couraged by Prof. D. W. Woodard. Dean of the School of Liberal Arts. Then, too, we owe a great deal to our Polemarch, whose un- tiring efforts and willing sacrifices helped Xi Chapter greatly during her infancy. Because of the scarcity of houses in Wash- ington and the lateness of the season Xi ('hapter was not able to go into the house she had arranged for, but plans are under way for securing this house next year. The Chap- ter is now planning for its initial ''Prom" which will be held at The Whitelaw Hotel on May 30, and which we are striving to make in keeping with the tradition of Kappa. The co-operation of every brother is making this possible and that same spirit of co-operation is going to hold up Kappa Alpha Psi at "The Largest Negro University in The World." —LEMUEL D. BOLTON. NOTES FROM DELTA The year 1920-21 has brought success to Delta Chapter. Beginning the year under various hardships, we have overcome all of them and are now moving along in splendid shape. In every school activity Kappa Alpha Psi has stood out prominently. In athletics we have held the balance of power. The football team was practically Kappa, having six of the regular players as follows: Brothers Bruce, Laws, Lowery, Coleman, and Mum- ford. Delta was no less conspicuous in base- ball the team being captained by Bro. Town- send. Other players were Bros. Lowery. Laws, Hunter and Coleman, Manager. The inter-Collegiate Debating Team con- sisted of six members, five of which were from Delta Chapter. Brothers Murray, Cole- man, Lane, Laws and Hunter made up this (luintette. The Kappa Alpha Psi Quartette composed of Brothers Emanuel, Lockett, Jones, and plec1gc-b ro ther Fouchee, promotes harmony in the musical circles. The social phase of college life has been well cared for this year. May 7th marked the annual reception and was a brilliant affair. Brother Irven Armstrong, retiring Grand Polemaich was a guest as was the present Grand Polemarch, Prof. Geo. F. David. In short, in every activity of college life Kappa Alpha Psi has not only held its own but has raised the standard. The old Kappa Spirit is rampant in Delta today and we are away in the lead.

Sin o f these activities have been sUrpris- for an organization five months of age. As was expected the announcement of the organization of a chapter of this well known fraternity caused much comment and much was expected of her. At the first initiation held on December 17, 1920, a group of strong young men became the charter members of Xi Chapter. They were: J. \Vvcliffe Keller, now Polemarch, Grand-Lieut.-Strategus; Hil- bert L. Rozier, Keeper-of-Records; Leo S. Butler, Keeper-of-Exchequer; Lemuel D. Bol- ton, Corresponding Secretary; Charles S. Hall, Strategus; Johnathon L. Young, Lieute- nant Strategus; Hiram U. Moore, Joseph E. Moore, Ernest T. Hemby, Alden B. Thomp- son, Samuel Lassiter, Julian J. Evans, Len S. Williams, Ernest E. Miller, Webster Sewell, Harry B. Thornton, Clarence B. Friday. We have with us from other Chapters of Kappa, Herman Austin, W. J. Pinkard, L. S .Sutor, Walter I. Delph, W. L. \Vatts, Payne Ran- som, James E. Scott, James W. Johnston, W. Ghans and Simeon Cunningham. At our second initiation, held on May 25, we were increased by ten: Morris Simms, Henry P. Owens, Ernest S. Hartgrove, Robert Greene, Herbert Dudley, Robert K. Peyton, John W. Bates, Geo. W. Davis, Harold ToIlet, and A. R. Harris. This is ciuite a large number com- pared with other chapters, but is clue to the large enrollment of students at howard University. Kappa Alpha Psi, though young at Flowarci University, is by no means slow in taking part in the activities around the University. Kappa is represented in nearly every activity in the lJniversity. in the R. 0. T. C. our Polemarch is Adjutant with the rank of Captain. He is also president of the Grenadiers Club, an or- ganization of R. 0. T. C. officers. Brothers Hemby, Sewell, and Thornton are officers in this department, while Brothers Dudley, Evans and Williams are ncui-conimissioned officers. Brother Butler is presilent of the German Club which was successful in giving a Grand German 'Prom.'' Brother Hemby represents us in the Glee Club. Brother Owens is in the Dramatic Club. Brother Bolton is a prominent member of the Stylus, a literary club, holding a competitive contest for membership each year. Brother Pinkard is a member of the R. 0. T. C. Band. In athletics Kappa takes a very prominent part also. Brother Sewell is a 'Varsity foot- ball man. Brother Simms is a 'Varsity basketball man. Brother Simms is one of the best all around athletes that has ever at- tended this University, and is held in great esteem. In the recent Intercollegiate Track Meet held here on May 11, Kappa was well represented by Brother Rozier who captured the 220 yard clash and was second in two one hundred yard (lashes. He is without doubt one of the fastest sprinters on howard's track team and was the highest individual scorer in the meet. Brother Evans easily slipped away from his nearest rival in the two-mile race. Besides these Xi Chapter has the following on the track team: H. U. Moore, J. L. Young and J. W. Keller, and in base-

L. BAILEY.

WIN LEGAL VICTORY Attorney R. L. Bailey, Keeper of Ex- chequer of the Indianapolis Alumni Chapter, last month secured a decision in the Superior Court in that city, which represented a not- able victory. Dr. Lucian Meriwether, who is Vice-Pole- march of the Indianapolis Alumni Chapter, purchased a home on Capitol Avenue, one of the fashionable residential districts of Indian- apolis. Notwithstanding the fact that Dr. Meriwether had served in the recent war and is a quiet, unobtrusive, well-educated young man, some of the neighbors voiced their dis- approval of a Negro moving into the section by building a ten-foot "spite" fence on each side of the ProPei'tY. The case attracted considerable attention last summer when the dluestion of preventing colored people from moving onto Capitol Avenue "invading the white residential sec- tion" was discussed, and the Capitol Avenue Protective Association is said to have con- spired to hack the proposition of building "spite" fences and in other ways seek to dis- courage colored people from moving into that section of the city. Brother Bailey secured a permanent in- junction from Judge T. J. Moll enjoining the defendants from erecting any fence between their property and Dr. Meriwether's over six feet in height. Brother Meriwether was also awarded damages in the sum of five hundred dollars and the defendants were fined for con- tempt of a court order. The woman who sold the property to Bro. Meriwether was born in a Georgia city but her heart, according to her story, "was ab- solved from all race prejudice when on the very day her husband took leave of her to go to the Front in the late World War, she wit- nessed a parade of black boys on the way to the sante railway station and saw them taking leave of those near and (lear to them for a common purpose."

Among the Brotherhood"

In a former volume in listiig the charter members of Alpha Chapter the name of Bro. Ezra D. Alexander was unintentionally omitted. The present Editors take this means of correcting the omission. Bro. Alexander is now a practicing physician in Indianapolis. Bro. F. E. Dc Frantz (Indianapolis Alumni Chapter) and Executive Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in that city, was a visitor in Chicago attending a national meeting of the Metropolitan Secretaries. Mu Chapter gave its first Annual Spring Party on May 13th. It was the first "get- together" meeting between the Kappa Alpha Psi men of Kansas University and the citizens of Lawrence and the results were all that one could have desired. Notice has been received that the present Polemarch of the Cleveland Alumni Chapter is Dr. Herbert Wallace instead of Bro. Tyler, who is the Regional Director of the Third District. Correction should he made in the listing of the Grand Board of Directors in the last issue of the Journal. The name of Bin. E. W. Rhodes should be inserted in the stead of that of Bro. J. W. Keller, as the Grand Lt. Strategus is not a member of the Board of Directors according to our Constitution. Beta Chapter gave its Annual Spring Dance and Banquet at the Beardsley 1 -lotel and Assembly Hall, Saturday, May 21, 1921. A delightful program left no odd moments during the evening. Beta Chapter is conducting a (lriVe for a House Fund among her members and alumni. The initial payment has already been made on the house and with her live membership the incoming year looks bright. Little Waif—"Mrs. White! Mrs. White! An automobile ran over your husband." Mrs. White—"O honey wha—where is he?" Waif—"He is under the bridge fishing." —J. W. Keller, Xi. Information Son: Pa what should I do to become a man? Father: Live long enough and follow the sign of "KAPPA ALPHA PSI." —Denver P. Young, Omicron.

Brutheis Suol,ie Linthecome, J. Richard (olin, together with Pledge Brothers, White. Kuykendall and Washington were attendants at the Spring Dance given by the Indianapolis Alumni and Nu Chapters. Brother Julius Morgan, who graduates from Purdue University, this term, was a visitor in Indianapolis during the District Meeting. Brother Sterling McElwaine, an Indiana man, was initiated into the Indiana- polis Alumni Chapter at this time. Brother Morgan and Brother McElwaine ought to be the nucleus for a splendid chapter at Purdue University this next Fall. Brother F. B. Ransom of the Indianapolis Alumni Chapter was the principal speaker at a "Go to College" meeting held in Indiana- polis by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Brother S. Douglass Miller, Gamma, has opened in Kansas City, Mo., one of the most modern dental parlors n the Middle West. His charming wife and son, a pocket edition of old ''Doug," have recently joined him and the three are always ready to make it quite pleasant for any brother who passes by. Brother Dvsart has just been appointed Dental Surgeon to the Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. Mrs. Helen Ricks London is spending a few months in Kansas City, Mo., with her hus- band, Jack London, interne in Old City Hos- pital of that city. Brother Fred Woods, Eta, in partnership with his brother owns the leading drug store in Kansas City, Mo. Prominent among the faculty members at Prairie View State Normal and Industrial School in Texas are Brothers G. V. Cools and T. H .Jac kson. Brother Everett H. (Colonel) Colbert, Gamma, has accepted a position in the Ac- countancy Department of Sumner High School, St. Louis, Mo. Brother J05. H. Ward, Indianapolis Alumni Chapter, has a splendid sanitorium in Indiana- polis. Associated with him is Brother Ezra D. Alexander of Alpha. Brother Aaron Scott and Brother J. Roscoe Hampton are associated in the drug business in Indianapolis. Announcement has been made of the en- gagement of Brother Fred Smith, Nu Chap- ter, to Miss Anna Bennett, one of the public school teachers in Indianapolis.

KAPPA ALPHA PSI JOURNAL

C. UDELL TURPIN Polemarch of Omicron

Columbia University in the City of New York President's Room

Omicron Chapter is putting Kappa Alpha Psi on the map with a bang in New York. The Journal Staff is in receipt of an invita- tion to attend a formal banquet and dance given by this chapter at the "Hollywood," Friday evening, June 3rd, 1921. Many re- ports have come to us through the press and otherwise of the aggressive program of Omicron and one is proud to acknowledge fellowship with them. The May "Sphinx," the official organ of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, has an article about the chapter at Columbia. Through the kindness of Brother Turpin, Polemarch of the Chapter, the Journal is per- mitted to make public a letter received by him from Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University, congratulating the chapter upon its success. Such expressions as these coming from such a world-character as Dr. Butler should make every Kappa Alpha Psi man strive to uphold the ideals of his organization.

May 19, 1921.

C. Uclell Turpin, Esq. Apartment 67 133 West 140th Street, New York, N. Y. Dear Mr. Turpin :-

I am very glad to hear from yours of the 16th of the success of your fraternity under- taking, and congratulate you and your fellow students very cordially upon this successful organization. With best wishes for its future, I am, Faithfully yours, NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER.

"Our Status" Question: Is Kappa Alpha Psi Greek? Answer: No, it's international!
