A new plan for getting the alumni addresses up-to-date has been worked out and is now ready to be announced to them. It is a very simple plan, just about the same as another, especially since it rests on individual initiative.
New cards have been typed out for each man on the chapter rolls as far back as 1890. These cards contain the name, roll number, date of initiation, address at initiation, occupation, and the last known address. There is plenty of room for changes of address.
The plan is for each alumni, as soon as he reads this article, to sit down and address a penny postcard to Beta Theta Pi, Delaware, Ohio, with the above information written on it. Then after that, when ever he changes his address, to mail an other postcard to the same address with his new address on it. That is all there is to it.
A special file of alumni in the service is also being kept, and anyone who is in the service, or knows some Theta alumni in
the service, is requested to send in that person’s address, both service and permanent. In this way, the chapter can be made a clearing house for Beta’s addresses. Also, we will be able to keep our Roll of Honor correct.
The reason for this campaign for addresses is that in the last few years, the alumni have not let the chapter know of their changes of address Consequently, we only have around 150 addresses which are correct.
This clearing house plan will be taken cute of by Mrs. Robert Watson, who is as much a Beta as her husband. Since she is always on the spot in Delaware, she will be able to insure its permanence through out the war.
Don’t forget, all that is needed is a penny-postcard with your correct address and the rest of the information mailed to Beta Theta Pi, Delaware, Ohio.
