The Grand Arch Council of Phi Kappa Psi met at Indianapolis, April 7, 8 and 9. Twenty-seven chapters were represented, and about 150 were present. J. C. Needham, a Senior from the University of the Pacific, was the first regular delegate that has ever come from California to the national convention of any fraternity. Kansas alpha was represented by E. C. Little, Frank C. Thompson, Solon T. Gilmore, W. W. Douglas, '84, who
A sweeping change was made in the entire constitution, to take effect July 1st. The government will be in the hands of an executive council of nine. Governor Foraker, of Ohio, is president, W. C. Wilson, a Cleveland lawyer, is secretary, and Geo. W. Dunn, an officer in the state treasurer's office at Columbus, O, is treasurer. Prof. E. F. Smith, of Wittenberg college, and Rev. Geo. D. Gotwald, of Salina, Kas., are also members of the Council. The fraternity is divided into four sections, the western section including Michigan, Missouri, Illinois and all west of the Mississippi. Resolutions commendatory of the manner in which Kansas Alpha has conducted the Shield were unanimously adopted and the Shield was confided to Kansas Alpha for another year. Its subscription price was raised to $1.25 a year.
The next G. A. C. will meet at Washington, D. C., in April, 1888, Governor Foraker is orator and Chas. S. Gleed is alternate orator. Robert Burdette is poet and Watson, of Ohio, is alternate. This province's convention will meet at Chicago, next April. Hallenbeck, of Michigan University, is undergraduate member of Ex. Council from this province. A great deal of business was accomplished, and this was undoubtedly the most important convention Phi Kappa Psi has ever held. The entire government of the fraternity was changed, and the initiation of preparatory students was forbidden
The delegates witnessed the Indiana state oratorical contest, won by Adams, of DePauw, who spoke on "Our Great Cities." He has a fine oration, with a tame close and a good manner, but rather poor voice. When Indiana University was called, two speakers rose and the friends of each made such a precious row that neither could be heard. It was more fun than a music box.
The convention closed with a grand banquet at the Bates, Friday night. Congressman Calkins, the last Republican candidate for governor, was toast master. Hon. Wm. Taylor, delivered the welcome, and the response was by Hon. John Griffiths, of Iowa alpha. His speech was the jewel of the evening. H. M. Watts, of Lafayette, Pa., read the poem, and the oration was by Hon. Ed E. Hendry, of Indiana. Toasts by Stoper, of Pennsylvania college, Hallenbeck, of Michigan, Little, of Kansas, and Hon. R. J. Murray, of Washington, finished the program.
