Two men who had traveled the world over Were

“London,” said one, “is certainly the foggiest place

Honorary Musical Fraternity

 

 

 

Pi Nu Epsilon was granted a
charter in 1927, as an honorary
music fraternity, at Armour Insti—
tute of Technology, having been
founded by a group of men who
realized the need of a stimulus for
the musical organizations at the
Institute.

Inasmuch as-the pursuit of mu-
sic at Armour is regarded as being
outside the regular school curri«
culum, there must of necessity be a
goal for which the music—minded
student may strive in order to keep
his enthusiasm alive, for while a
musician primarily desires nothing
more than the opportunity to pro—
duce good music, the possibility of
becoming a member of an honor-
ary musical group is calculated to
induce greater effort and therefore
increasingly finer results. In this
respect the fraternity is a success,
because each year since the chap—
ter was organized has seen larger
and better musical organizations
and consequently better attendance
at school assemblies and concerts.

The first aim of the fraternity is
always to foster a better apprecia—
tion of good music among the stu—
dents and help them to acquire an
ear for the artistic, which is neces~
sarily neglected to a more or less
extent in their engineering pro~
E

ram.
The charter members of Pi Nu

Epsilon are T. J. Clark, N. Markoff,
W. E. VeVurka, W. Wilson, D. G.
Greenfield, W. M. Horn, and K. H.
Parker. It may be truly said that
it is because of the farsightedness
and initiation of these men that
the Musical Clubs are on the high
plane they now occupy It is thru
their efforts and those of the mem—
bers who have followed them that
students now join the orchestra or
glee club, more of a real desire to
do so, than to get their “gym"
credit.

Twice each year the members
scan the roll of the musical clubs
and select therefrom those seniors
and juniors who have been promi-
nent in furthering the musical
cause. Before initiation into the
fraternity each pledge is required
to prepare a paper; requiring re-
search in the musical world, which
is so seldom dipped into by the en"
ginecring student.

As the organisation is a musical
fraternity there is no set standard
of scholarship which'a man must
attain before he can be pledged to
Pi Nu Epsilon. However his musi-
cal prominence must not be reach—
ed at the expense of his scholar-
ship, and so he must pass a rigid
examination of his musical and
engineering knowledge before he
may be pledged.

The present members and offi-
cers of Pi Nu Epsilon are Richard
R. Eddy, president; William Schra~
der, secretary and treasurer; Fran
O’Conor, Robert N. Wilson, L. A.
Newman, George L. Bonvallet, Phil-
lip H. Korrcll and Frank F. Stras-
scnburg.

When the .moon goes under
eclipse, says a Carnegie institute
report, its surface temperature
drops 335 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Sophomore class of the arch—
itects played Santa, Claus at Christ-
mas time. The Monday before the
holidays, Walter Anderson. Catfisle
Schultz, and. Wilfred Davies, from
the class, took Goodfellow baskets
to two poor families. These bas~
kets were sponsored and contribut-
ed to by the Sophomore class.

Wednesday evening, January 7th,
the Architects had a Smoker in the
Club room of the Art Institute.
The guest of the evening was Mr.
E. A. chwick of the firm. of Hala-
bird and Root.

Mr. Renwick has for a hobby,
color photography and gave a short
talk on his travels in Europe dur-
ing 1925 and '29, and illustrated

. his talk with 150 of his collection

of 3000 natural color slides.

His trip included France, Italy
and England. Interiors and ex-
teriors with a specialization on the
early 14th and 15th century
stained glass windows, in which Mr.
Renwick is especially interested,
were studied.

It is not possible to appreciate
the beauty of these places without
the aid of color work. Mr. Suter,
critic of the freshman Archs was
responsible for Mr. Renwick’s in—
teresting talk. The entertainment
which followed consisted of re-
freshments and smokes.

 

We extend our deepest sympa-
thies to Charles A. Dutt on the
death of his brother in Los Angelcs,
Calif. Mr. Dutt journeyed there
and returned to school the end of
last Week.

In the last two years 13,000,000
Russian illiterates have been
taught to read and write.
