KAPPA PSI BANQUET, 



The nineteenth annual banquet of 

 Gamma Chapter of Kappa Psi Fraterni- 

 ty was held at the Hotel Marie Antoi- 

 nette on April 5th. About fifty members 

 and guests followed chairman of the 

 dinner committee, Kenneth A. Bartlett, 

 when he led the way to the dining room. 



When the liquids, semi-solids and sol- 

 ids had been disposed of the chairman 

 presented the toastmaster. Professor 

 Diekman. who asked the former to read 

 letters of regret he had received from 

 Professors Chandler, Coblentz, Rusby 

 and W'immer. 



Professor Diekman deplored the ima- 

 voidable absence of Professor Chandler 

 and then called upon Professor Arny to 

 speak in his stead, who entertained the 

 company by telling some witty stories 

 and then admonished the younger men to 

 become active and good members of the 

 fraternity so that they might do their 

 share of the needed work. 



The toastmaster then asked Professor 

 Mansfield to say a few words, who in 

 responding, brought several messages 

 from Dean Rusby, one dealing with the 

 future of college fraternalism and an- 

 other in reference to a "Medicinal Drug 

 Farm" at the Botanical Gardens which, 

 apparently, will be shortly inaugurated by 

 the Trustees of the College. 



Brother Julian of George Washington 

 University pleaded for closer relations 

 between physician and pharmacist, call- 

 ing attention to the mutual benefits that 

 would be derived therefrom. 



Professor Diekman then introduced 

 Regent Roy Lehman, who told of the 

 chapter doings for the past year and 

 asked for continued assistance from the 

 brothers who would soon graduate. 



Brother Genung, in responding for the 

 Juniors, thanked the Alumni members 

 for their assistance and remarked that 

 there was much hard work ahead as so 

 many members w^ould be lost to t-'.e ac- 

 tive chapter by graduation. However, 

 he expressed the wish and hope that 

 they would one and all assist in the work 

 to bring Gamma to a higher and better 

 point than ever before. 



Dr. Leslie called attention to the value 

 of fraternities and urged all present to 

 remain in harness after leaving college. 



Brother Reynolds, a charter member, 

 referred to the early struggles of Gam- 

 ma and expressed the hope that each 

 coming year would see a bigger and bet- 

 ter chapter. 



Brothers Ballard and Hostmann a.'^ked 

 the alumni present to take more interest 

 in the Alumni Chapter so that the latter 

 would be better able to be of assistance 

 to the active chapter. 



Brother McCarthy of Baltimore, Doc- 

 tor Brown, and Brothers Doolittle, Bald- 

 win, Moore, Madden, McBride and Dow- 

 sey also spoke.
