A few of the brothers in and around these parts have given some
consideration to the advisability of soliciting funds at this

time for the use of Kansas Alpha.

Numerous conversations have

been held in connection with the possible effort and it has been
concluded that it is time to devote some serious effort to the
establishment of an organization, the purpose of which will be

the promotion of scholarships at the chapter at Lawrence. In
order to do this, it has been felt that it would be well to
incorporate the Kansas Alpha of Phi Kappa Psi Endowment Associa-
tion, which would also have for a further purpose, the supervision
and direction of better housing facilities for the chapter.

In order to effect a successful campaign, it is felt that an
intensified effort should be put forth and that you would be
willing to help by serving on the so-called committee that would
have as its primary duty, contacting members of Kansas Alpha

in an effort to secure financial assistance from them. Without

to support this effort, but we are wondering specifically if you
would undertake from time to time, if it becomes necessary, to
