Evans Hall, Theta Sigma Tau, Sanford . . . three names that have been used in the last two years to designate one group, the residents of the central unit in the new dormitory. Like the other two fraternities in the building, the Sig Taus have succeeded in the past year in making themselves well-known on every college activity front.       Really settled in their sumptuous quarters for the first time this fall, the fraternity set itself the task of returning to Theta Sigma Tau the glory it enjoyed in the halcyon days of three years ago. How close the group came, under the able direction of Jerome Townsend, to recapturing those days can be adjudged by glancing at the record.       In athletics, in scholarship, in ROTC work, the Sig Tau boys were not hard to find. Crack freshman and sophomore classes kept the house near the top in scholastic averages, juniors and seniors were prominent in athletics, while the seniors and sophomores led the field in army.       Graduation will deprive the Theta Sigma Taus of five capable fraternity and campus leaders. Townsend, in addition to leading his fraternity, was president of the "R" club. Gordon Heup commanded an ROTC company. Bob Furman and Bob Heiden were house leaders, and Phil Biege was an active debate. No easy loss, you'll agree. But the Sig Taus have an eye on the future . . . and that's always the sign of a growing fraternity. [Transcribed without correction from the 1941 Crimson, pages 126.]
