Both of these instances may require the sending of undergraduate Phi Psis to
their institutions and the payment of their expenses for a year, so that the chap-
ters may be revived. Colonization, as we call it, is apparently the only solution
in these instances.

Loyal and enthusiastic Phi Psi alumni in Tucson and the University of
Arizona are seriously considering the formation of a local club of the Fraternity
there, to petition for a charter of Phi Kappa Psi. At recent G.A.C's, there has
been evident a real demand among our undergraduate chapters for extension, particu}
larly in the South and Southwest. I believe that such an effort will meet with a
cordial response from the Fraternity as a whole.

Amherst College is engaged in a wave of reorganization and post-war planning.
A considerable element apparently is advocating the elimination of fraternities.
The outeome will depend upon the attitude of the alumni of Amherst College, and
action, if taken, will be in the next few months.

Missouri Alpha, which has published a remarkably fine chapter news letter
during the war, but has been inactive on the campus, is reorganizing for a very
active rehabilitation campaign. Craig Ruby, Mo. Alpha '16, well known basketball
coach and personnel director, is the new President of the chapter house corpora-
tion, and with the cooperation of Orson Lee and other well known alumni is actively
preparing for a revived chapter.

So it goes. These have been strenuous times, but through it all Phi Kappa Psi
continues to move forward. We ask your continued help and cooperation. As the
war news gets better, we can more easily visualize a stronger and better Phi Kappa
Psi, worthy of the thousands of Brothers who are fighting overseas,

Very fraternally yours,
THE EXECUTIVE BOARD.
