Excerpt from The Record of Phi Kappa Psi: A Short History of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity Phi Kappa Psi has been most fortunate in retaining through their lives the enthusiastic devotion of her sons. But college life is short, and, while most of the old boys have kept in close touch with their own Chapters, the Fraternity has grown so steadily that few of them really know the full extent to which they have reason to be proud of their Fraternity. In this little book they will find that with which to justify the faith that is in them. Phi Kappa Psi has never posed as an exponent of the strenuous life, but the remarkable activities of her members is proof that they have kept constantly before them her ideals of well-balanced and all-round manhood. It is natural that a college fraternity should be judged by the lives and character of those who have been brought within the range of its influence, and it is with confidence that we may abide any judgment of our beloved Fraternity based upon its record as herein shown. No other college fraternity of our years has achieved anywhere near so much. Phi Psi's record is a glorious one and we who have helped to make it, have a right to demand of the present bearers of our standards that they preserve our traditions, maintain our principles and keep our faith, so that those who take up Phi Psi's standards after them may find in their record, as in ours, an inspiration for the future. Splendid as our record is here shown to be, it is too much to hope that many of our best achievements and most distinguished brothers have not been overlooked, for memory is treacherous and many things are remembered only when it is seen that they have been forgotten. The supplying of my omissions, the correction of my errors and the recording of Phi Psi's still greater achievements will offer to another hand a labor of love which this has been to mine.
