Excerpt from The Delta Kappa Epsilon Quarterly, 1903, Vol. 21The near approach of our Annual Convention brings forward a subject to which every chapter and every delegate should devote earnest and-shall we say - prayerful attention. The policy Of the Fraternity upon the question of further expansion is one which should be settled at this time, as far as it is possible for this Convention to do so. To be sure no legislature has the power to bind its successors to any course of action, for their powers are equal to its own, and circumstances may demand that some future convention absolutely reverse the policy deter mined upon by this one. Yet if such policy be decided upon as the result Of careful deliberation in chapter and convention, after an intelligent examination of all the arguments which can properly be advanced upon both sides Of the question, there is little doubt that an intelligent public opinion would support it, and render a change difficult for years to come.What, then, is the question, and what are the principal arguments advanced by the advocates Of the two answers which can be made to it? Brie¿y stated, it is this: Has the Fraternity reached that stage in its development where further expansion would be unwise It is a ques tion upon which undoubtedly many arguments can be adduced by the equally patriotic supporters of the two diametrically opposed policies, either Of which might be adopted by the Fraternity. It is one to the consideration of which the highest wisdom should be brought, for upon its answer depends very largely our future prosperity as a fraternity, and our progress as compared with that Of our principal competitors.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
