The five years between the two volumes have not passed lightly over the fraternity; those years constitute an era of accelerated activity, of preoccupation with world affairs, of abnormal emotional strain, of economic pressure, in short, of war. The fraternity emerges from the period stronger and more earnest in its desire to serve and to ennoble its members. In the pages that follow, the author hopes the readers will find, as in the 1911 and the 1916 editions, useful data in convenient form; a clear narrative of the development of Alpha Chi Omega in its environment in the academic world among contemporary fraternities; information adequate to enable members or casual readers to evaluate the organization properly; and the body of tradition and high standards so dear to all the fraternity's builders in the past. The fraternity's Opportunities never were wider than today, its prob lems never more complex; its need for intelligent, high-minded leaders of wide and true vision has never been more imperative, nor has the interest among its members and their willingness to serve in positions of responsibility ever been more gratifying. The World War perhaps has shown many members their capacity for responsibility, as well as the unparalleled satisfaction that comes from constituting a vital factor in a worth-while cause.
