Dear Brothers:

After one term's experience in our new Chapter-house, we can
report that it is a success both socially and financially. As usual after
such a move, the other fraternities have united against us, but we still
hold our own, and let our real worth speak for itsel£ Our Chapter-house
was formally opened by a reception in May, at which the students
and friends from the city were surprised and delighted by our surround-
ings, while of the success of the reception, a leading daily paper of
the city regarded it as the greatest social event of the season. The
desirableness of its location was made evident on field day, when oar
athletes, who had been practicing for weeks in the lots adjoining the
house, showed the rival fraternities what pure air and good exercise
could do towards athletics.
The Commencement season has passed and our men have taken
their share of the honors of that time. Out of the six gentlemen
speakers, four were Delta U.'s, while our speaker on Sophomore
exhibition easily eclipsed his competitors.
