DEDI CATIO N The staff of the Torchlight dedicates this issue to Henry C. Fox, who unfortunately was not able to be with us at the University this year. Henry was one of the most active and diligent members ever to enter the ranks of Kappa Phi Kappa. He served in the capacity of treasurer throughout last year, and was ever alert in carrying out his duties. He was instrumental in the organization of and represented Kappa Phi Kappa in the Professional Inter-Fraternity Conference. Last year he served as President of this body, and through his efforts our chapter was rTade a leader among the other professional fraternities on the campus. Henry's other contributions to the advancement and welfare of Kappa Phi Kappa are too numerous to mention in this space. All of us who have been fortunate enough to have associated with Henry cherish his friendship and take this opportunity to thank him for his v:orl: in the fraternity. Henry served as president this past summer and was president-elect for this year, but accepted the offer of a teaching position---his gain being our loss. Again wo take this opportunity to dedicate this issue to a gentleman, a scholar, and a Kappa Phi Kappian---Henry C. Fox.

Having had, from all indications, what was considered a very successful beginning, the fraternity decided to make the publication of the Torchlight a permanent part of the activities of the organization. A certain fund was provided for publishing three issues per year, and the positions of editor-in-chief and business manager wore incorporated in the by- laws of the constitution as officers of the fraternity. Wo are inexperienced and quite incapable of such a venture; yet we hope to convince our alumni that our efforts -re motivated by our sincerity and zeal. We have as our goal the bringing about of a closer and more intimate relationship between our active members and our alumni. So far, as much as we hesitate to admit this fact, our efforts have failed. Therefore, we send this plea to you, our alumni, to get in touch with us, correspond with us, visit us, and let us know what you are doing and where you are located. Some of our alumni have been away from the university for a long time. ':e can understand their lack of interest in the fraternity. But what of our crop of brothers who graduated only six months ago? Are they keeping the noble promises they so unhesitatingly made when they said that they would surely keep in touch with us? Of this large group only one has had the courtesy to let us hear from him. We wish to repeat our plea again---alumni, let us hear from you. The Editor OUR N3W HO1-2 -- WHAT GOES ON ITf1ID. Last year Alpha Lambda broke all precedents by establishing a house on the Florida campus. It was necessarily a small start, but proved such a success that this year we decided to expand. While last year our home held only eight mon, this year's accommodates thirteen members. Thus a much closer contact between us is .nade possible. Our present home is a large two story house on '.ost Union Street. It has a spacious living room which has proven adequate for all meet- ings. About a month after the opening of school this year, we discov- ered that one of the fellows was an accomplished chef, so at the pres- ent time twelve of us gather around the table in the dining room when the dinner bell rings. Don Dyal is the house manager, and keeps busy with the necessary details. Joe James, our graduate student, is affectionately known to the follows as "Dean" James. He takes care of all matters requiring a mature mind. While certainly not the general rule among professional fraterni- ties, we foul that in maintaining our house, Kappa Phi Kappa has taken a large forward step on this campus. l. O. F. Page 2 Pa7o 2 TORCHLIGHT _TORCHLIGHT OUR COUNSELOR SAYS College of Education Office of the Assistant Dean At the present time, universities throughout the country are attempting, in some manner, to reorganize their curricula in such a fashion as to bring them closer to the dynamic life of to-day. Many different plans are being formulated and tried out, among which that of the University of Chicago is perhaps the pioneer. The University of Florida has under consideration a similar plan of reorganization. according to the tentative plans now in existence, the present four-year college system will be broken up, so that all Freshmen and Sophomores throughout the University will attend one school, to be lnown as the College. Upon completion of this prelim- inary two-year course, the student will enter one of the colleges which make up the upper division.. Thus he will have a choice of either the Arts and Sciences College or one of the professional col- leges now in existence. Orientation courses, of a broad and general nature, will be given in the College, while specialization will be left for the upper divi- sion. It is claimed by the advocates of this system that more consider- ation will be given the individual student in that provision for guid- ance or counseling will be made. G. Ballard Simmons, Assistant Dean Pago 3 TORCILIGET Pg_ 3 A LETTER FROE OE COF OUR AiLU.I2NI Box 54 Zverglados, Fla. Nov. 4, 1934 Alpha Lambda Chaptor Kappa Phi I lppa Doar Brothers, It seems funny to be writing you as an alumnus and not Cs an ac- tivo member. But, although not with you in Gainosvillo, your activi- ties will always be a source of interest. You are indeed to be congratulated for attempting to undertake the large task of guiding College of educationn freshmen through the trials of beginning university life. This should prove a great op- portunity to all concerned for service and experience. Ainco leaving the University, I have had the privilege of talk- ing -.ith other alumni members. They have all been deeply interested in the activities of the chapter. The Torchlight is proving to be a splendid medium to keep the graduates in touch with the work of the chapter. Although you are making a hard financial struggle this year to establish the house without raining the dues, it would be bad econ- omy to cut expenses through the elimination of the ten to fifteen dollars per issue for the Torchlight. This is the only bond which holds the experience of the alumni to the activities of the chapter. Instead, why not make an appeal to the graduates to contribute ;,.50 or .',l.O0 to help with the expense of publication. Another place where alumni might help would be the professional library for the house. Uan: have old education books which h they are not using, but which would be good reference books for the students. They might also send periodicals. I have had School Life sent to the house for a half year. 'Tr. Fickards, the editor of the F.3.A. Journal, told me last veek that he would be glad to send you his mag- azine if you would write him a letter. Wishing you continued success in keeping -appa Phi Kappa the outstanding professional fraternity of the campus, both in quality of members ania in service activities, I am, Fraternally, Henry C. Fox TORCHLIGHT TO M:Y BROTHERS OF KAPPA PHI KAPPA-- A LLiSSAGE AMD A CHALL3-1GE Alpha Lambda chapter of Kappa Phi Kappa is being weighed in the balance as perhaps no other professional fraternity on the University of Florida campus has ever been tested. Within the space of a single year we, a professional group, have established a house. We have built up the tradition of a chapter magazine. We have sponsored a Freshman Week program which won favorable comment from every dean on the campus. Our members have won positions of responsibility and lead- ership all over the campus. But there are those on the outside who are saying that our brilliance is as but a flash in a pan. They say that we have achieved but that we can go no higher. It is because of the many who are eager to say, "I told you so," that I say Alpha Lamb- da chapter is being weighed in the balance. To you who, like myself, are undergraduate members of Kappa Phi Kappa, I issue a challenge. It is up to you to prove that the "crepe- hangers" are not needed. Fo single officer, no group of officers, no clique of members can alone bring success to our fraternity. 1o must work together shoulder to shoulder if the chapter is to retain its position of leadership among the professional fraternities on the cam- pus. There is neither time nor place for petty squabbles, harbored grievances, imagined slights on the part of any member or members. If there be such, we must rise above them, sinking our personal f-elings in order to work for the good of the group. It is in your hands, my fellow members, and in your h.nds alone that the future of Alpha Lamb- da chapter lies. To you who are graduate members out in th. teaching field I issue an invitation to r-new your bonds of fellowship with IKa:pa Phi Kappa. Lot us know of your successes'-, for wu are interested in them. Share with us your professional experiences so that we may all grow in pro- fossio-al richness. Let us remain bound together so that we may be- come a potent force in raisinrF the educational standards of the state. Such we must become if we are to be true to our oath and to our frater- nity. To each and every one of you--both those uhom I have the honor of numbering among my friends and those whom I know only as fellow broth- ers of Kappa Phi KIppa--I extend my best wishes. A IKerry Christmas and a H-Lppy -ew Y-er to each of you. Fratornally, Gordon Lovejoy, President Page 4 Page 4 TORCHLIGHT KAPPA PHI KAPPA'S PRE3:TT OFFICERS The present officers of the Florida AlphaLLambda chapter of Kappa Phi Kappa are outstanding, well-qualified, and capable. Gordon W. Lovejoy, serving this year as president, is well-fitted for his position. He has filled a similar place in Peabody Club, and has been treasurer of Kappa Phi Kpppa. Gordon is an honor student of extremely high standing, a social science major, and expects to be graduated at the end of next semester. He is a resident of Gainos- ville. Homer 2. Wakofield, our first vico-president, is a senior in edu- cation. Homer is a member of Peabody Club, a lieutenant in the P.O. T.C., and a member of Pi D3lta Sigma, social fraternity. He served this yar as captain of the cross-country team, and is numbered among the track squad. His home is in Barbervillo. Our second vice-president is Roy Y!. Russell, a College of 3duca- tion senior. I.oy, whose home is in Tampa, is a social science major. Clifton A. I:cClellnnd, recording secretary, is a senior in agri- cultural education. He is a lieutenant in the E.O.T.C., a member of Peabody Club, and of Alpha Zeta, honorary agricultural fraternity. "Ihac" hails from Avon Park. Corresponding secretary Robert R. B-nson is a junior in education. "Bob" is a mmbor of Peabody Club and a junior in the R.O.T.C. He plays in the band, and was recently elected to Kappa Kappa Psi, honor- ary band fraternitr. His home is in Flaglar Beach. Valter E. Barker, treasurer, is a Collegu of Education junior, an English major, and a member of Peabody Club. Ho is a junior in the R.O.T.C. 'alter is from ;astport. B. H. K. PEABODY CLUB JL2CTI0Oi3 The opening of the fall term of 1934-35 brought several promi!- ing new recruits into our Po:-.body organization, and helped to make the work of the incoming officers very successful. Gordon Lovejoy, one of our outstanding seniors, occupied the president's chair, and MHlvin 0. Fuller, also a senior, ranked next in the office of vice-president. The members of the club selected Sydney J. Weinborg as secrotary-treasurer, and Herman :Davis made a ver; efficient critic. The mid-semester elections placed Russell 2. :4ller, a sopho- more, at the head of Peabody. Miiller is a pledge to Ka-ppa Phi Kappa. I'aurico Fletcher is our newly-elected vice-president and Waltcr Barker has assumed the duties of secretavy-treasurer. Gordon Lovojoy, our past president, now holds the position of critic. All of the present officials, vith the exception of Russell Mfiller, are active members of X..ppa Phi KTppa. Despite the fact that so many of our faithful and active members will graduate e either in February of June of this coming year, we hope to carry on and make our purpose: "To build and maintain a bigger and better Peabody Club." Page 5 Page 5 Page 6 TORCH LIGHT Pago 6 FRESHM-AN i32EK ACTIVITI.iS Alpha Lambda Chapter has this year entered into a now field of active service. Uith the approval and whole-hoarted cooperation of Dean J. VI. Forman, the entire Freshman eook program of the College of Education \.as planned and executed by this group. It sought to better orientate the incoming freshmen and to help thom over their initial difficulties. Furthermore, this unusual type of Freshman 'eek poss sessed some features that wore being continued throughout the first semester. Long before Freshman iooek began, every man who had applied for admission into the College of Zducation had been contacted by mail and was offered in a friendly way whatever aid in adjusting himesTf to his new surroundings that his student counselor could render. It was a brotherly gesture and the incoming students appreciated it as such. Many were aided in selecting rooms and arranging for the now adventure of college by thesJ self-appointed big-brothers. The regular routine of Freshman i;eek as outlined by the Dean of Mlon was not interrupted in any way, but in the several additional feat- ures aiid in its administration a groat improvement is believed to have been effected. lore friendly contacts were encouraged among the stud- ents and between the students and faculty. An opportunity for making friends was continually presented. In the first place, this was attempted by the use of more student counselors, each one being assignoa to a much smaller group of new students than formerly. Instead of merely giving the freshmen a ch-Lnce to ask advice on onu or two scheduled occasions during the week, these student counselors accompanied their charges ,,hrover they, as a group, wont during the wOek, rsady at any time to help or give a brotherly word of advice. These men also made it sufficiently clear th.it the same helpful attitude would be gladly continued throughout the year. It was realized by those who planned the work of freshmen orientation that later, when work was actually under way, more advice and assist- ance in the development of right habits would be needed than during this rather bewildering period. When the firtt-year man began that ordeal of registration which all Florida mjn somewhat drad, his student counselors were right there to smooth the way and to reduce his total of errors- It is remarkable how a word of direction and advice during registration can prevent later difficulties anu shorten the time spent waiting one's turn in the long linos. On the very first day of the week, a tour of the K. Yongo Lab- oratory School ,as terminated by a uwiner roast near the building vhere the new students met the members of the faculty in an informal way. One evening, the freshmen were the guests of K.ppa Phi XKappa .t a smoker held in the chapter home on UnionrStreet. There they met some of the outstanding students of the college -nd were told some- thing of the extra-curricular activities by members of various athlet- ic teams and about the organization of the College of Education by officers of 'P:ebody Club' Kappa Delta Pi and Kappa Phi Kappa. During the week, Gordon Lovejoy led discussions of the Honor System and Homer W~lkefield discussed organized recreation on the cam- pus. Dr. Alfred Crago gave the new students some helpful suggestions (Continued or P:7; 7) Page 7 TOROIGIIT Pagci 7 NEW PLEDGES Alpha Lambda held an election of members recently and five out- standing young men in the College of Education were chosen to member- ship. election to membership in this organisation is a very selective process and thus a high honor. In order to be pledged, a man must be an advanced student in the College of education, show qualities of leadership, have a high scholastic standing, show a genuine interest in toachinig, and have a high moral standard. The following men were elected and are now pledges. Victor Charles Grandoff is a junior from Jacksonville. He is an active member of Peabody Club, and a member of Los Picaros and the French Club. He is majoring in languages and expects to teach them. 1elbourne L. Winton is another junior and is majoring in sciences. He hails from Bushnell, and is also a member of the College of Edu- cation organization, Peabody Club. Russell Elliot miller is a sophomore in the College of education, and makes his home in Babson Park. He expects to teach English anid social subjects. That he is outst-nding is shown in that he was cho- sen as a Freshman 'eook leader this year. In addition he has recently been elected president of Peabody Club. adward Francis Nolan is also a sophomore. Besides distinguish- ing himself as a Freshman Week leader, he has a very high scholastic standing. He comes from Fernandina and is a member of Peabody Club. Raymond Forrest Vickery is last but not least on our list of pledges. He hopes to oern the degree of Bachelor of Arts in .ducatJon. He attends Peabody Club, and has a good scholastic record. raymid s hcme is in Avon Park. (Continued from Page 6) on attacking their new problems and some valuable hints as to the best methods of studying and preparing assignments. VWe believe that, as a result of our Freshman Week program, the first year men of the College of Education experienced a more pleasant [transition from high school to college, and that they aere better equipped to enter upon their new life as University man this year than ever before. Alpha Lambda chapter feels justly proud to this end and believes that such work should be continued by the frater nity in the future. COUNSELORS: Dr. Alfred Crago, Group 22, Yon-g 216 Prof. W. W.

MIr. Henry Fox, Sr. .proved very useful when it came to the manufacture of tables and the improvisation of a shower bath. Henry ox, the president of our chapter, scoured the town for all of the little essentials of a well-regulated home and soon -we felt quite at home in our house. The summer was anything but-a dull one. Several vocalists in the house made life pleasant for th; neighbors. ive had an initia- tion and banquet. -everal of the members were very active in campus politics, not without success. The daughters of several of our pro- fessors wure so kind as to invite us to numerous parties, weinor roasts, dances and swims. The party at Dean Norman's home was quite a success, as to fellowship and entertainment, and as an intelligence test. We had a very congenial group -.t the house and were heartily in accord with the administration cf our devoted president, Henry Fox We hope that next summer some of our alumni will return to Gainesville for advanced work and will avail themselves of the opportunity to stay at the house. W. S. L. PEABODY CLUB TO AWARD OUTSTAI!DI'G COLLJG-; OF 3DUCATIOI METF On October 22, Peabody Club set a precedent for societies of its kind on the University of Florida campus, Upon the suggestion of President Lovejoy, the club voted to use the money that has in the past been spent for a page in the Seminole to purchase four awards, one to be present:.. to a member of each class in the College of Edu- cation for outstanding work in the club -nd on the campus as a whole. The awards are to be given at the close of the school year. In taking this action, Peabody Club becomes the first society on the campus to thus recognize and award its members or students in its college for outstanding achievements. Gordon has been complimented by many of the deans and professors on the campus for his action in this regard. There is no doubt but that those awards, by recognizing true merit, will stimul:..to the m-n in our college to do better work uia to strive for higher levels o0 achievrmieunt. Gordon deserves praise for his initiative. Once again a Kappa Phi Kappian has scored. W. 1. B. The chapter extends its sympathy to William P. Dillingham who recently suffered the loss of his mother.

HA S HYGOOD AI1D D2 G.ATAYI AS R3CETT 3PYAK2RS nAong the speakers who have honored Xappa Phi Kappa xzith their presence during the fall term of 1934 were Prof. F. M. Do Gaotani, instructor cf Spanish at the University of Florida and Prof. D. A. Haygccd, instructor of French and Spanish at the P. K. Ycnge Labora- tcky School. Prof. Haygood gave an interesting talk on his experiences in Cuba during the trcubluous times of the Machadc regime. Last summer, desiring to make certain comparisons between Cuban and Castilian speech, he spent some time in Havana in the home of a cultured Cuban family, where he had hoped to find an environment conducive to study. But he was destined to be disillusioned, for the worthy citizen soon assumed a loading role in the recent _oup. Imagine Prof. Haygood's chagrin at finding himself virtually a prisoner in his residence un- til such a time as he was able to convince the authorities of his in- nocence. 'thile Maklig; his abode with the Cuban family, Prof. Hay- good had ample opportunity to observe certain customs and manners with the relation of which he delighted an audience of some twenty-five members of the local chapter. At a later meeting of Kappa Phi Kappa, Prof. F. IM. De Gaetani gave an informal lecture cn the causes of the downfall of the Bour- bons in Spain. From his studies in Spanish political history, which he made during a stay of two years in Madrid, Prof. De Gaetani was able to explain the overthrow of Alfonse XIII and the establishment of the Republic as due to the general dissatisfaction of the Spanish public with the incapable Bourbons. Tracing the history of the reigns cf the Spanish monarchs from the days of Ferdinand and Isabel, He pointed out instances cf tyranny, inefficiency, intrigue and im- morality. A cruel Philip, an indolent Fefdinand,aadtraitoeguhcFerdi- nand and an immoral Isabel wore all passed in review before an audi- ence of some twenty members of the local chapter who derived much merriment from the anecdotes (which Prof. De Gaetani related to illus- trate instances of the weaknesses of the Bourbons. V. C. G. SUTI "R SCHOOL ITITIATES Kappa Phi aappa may consider itself fortunate indeed on taking in as members the men it did this past su;;mer. Foremost among the summer initiates is Dr. J.

Mr. Fisher, the third on our list, is superintendent of schools in Dade County. .r. Virson is a principal in Jacksonville. Earl Kipp teaches in Seminole High School at Sanford. Pat Priest teaches in Anthony and takes 'ork a- the University, from which he hopes to graduate this year. Andr.w Rippey and KentlLittig are graduate students. William Chapman, our only regular session undergraduate to be admitted this summer, is a senior this year.

The editor wishes to state that he has strictly censored all gossip relating to himself. Why Not? Or does he know anything about it?

It's only 4:35-..t. yet. Some of cur members are sc professional minded that they confined their summer school activities to professors' daughters.
