W. A. Ferry, ‘28On the evening1 of December 10th, the Alpha Epsilfn chapter of the National Jreek Letter Fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi, ;as installed at Johnson C. Smith Univerity, for use and service. The formal inflation, being: conducted by the Provincial ’olemarch of the Southeastern District, Irother Deaver P. Young-, brought into the old of the great Klan, Bros. A. S. Powe,J. A. Blount, J. A. Jones, L. L. Blakeney, J. H. Justice, and. W. A. Perry. For the past four months these newly made Greeks have been carefully supervised, by our Elder Brothers J. H. Alston and T. S. Jackson in the principles of moral courage, development of irresistible influence for good, and the resistenee of temptation toward vindictiveness.We have talked much of the brotherhood to come; but brotherhood has always been the goal of our life long before it became a modern and insipid sentiment. Only have we been brothers in slavery and torment; brothers in ignorance and its perdition; brothers in disease and war and want; brothers in prostitution and hypocrisy. What happens to one of us sooner or later happens to all; we have always been inescapably involved in a common destiny. Since men never have been able to separate themselves from one another’s woes and wrongs; since history is fairly stricken with the lesson that we cannot escape brotherhood of some kind; since the whole of life is teaching us that we are hourly choosing between brotherhood in suffering and brotherhood in good, it remains for us to choose the brotherhood of a cooperative world, with all the fruits thereof—the fruits of love and liberty.Our great thoughts, our great affections, the truths of our life never leave us. Surely these principles shall not separate from our consciousness, but shall follow us wherever we may go and posess their nature divine and immortal.The officers elected are as follows:J. H. Alston, Polemarch.A. S. Powe, Vice-Polemarch.A. Blount, Keeper of Records and Exchequer.J. A. Jones, Strategus.W. A. Perry, Historian and Reporter.T. A. Steele. OMEGA PSI. PHI.T. A.
