Phi for Psi

Sirs:

... I am taking this opportunity to inform you of a mistake that was made in your write-up of the British Amateur Golf Tournament at Frestwick [TIME, June 4].

Lawson Little, the Stanford junior, is a member of Chi Psi and not Chi Phi as you reported it. This mistake is of interest to the outside world only when coupled with the fact that another Walker Cup youth, Johnny Fischer, is a Chi Psi from Michigan, and when the two are paired with Rodney Bliss, Chi Psi, Cornell '33, you have three of America's best golfers. . . .

ROBERT E. WALSH Chi Psi, University of Chicago '32 Chicago, 111.

Sirs ... As well call an Alabama Democrat a Republican, or, to bring it home to you, a New York Republican a Democrat, as call a (Godfearing Chi Psi a Chi Phi. If you correct mistakes, correct this one. If not please don't make it again, or if you do, make it in an account of our brother Charley Mitchell. . . . REV. R. M. LAUGHLIX

Ruffin, N. C.

Sirs:

Phi on you.

... I never heard of the Chi Phi Fraternity. . . .

For misprinting Phi for Psi, TIME offers apologies where due.—ED. Appreciative Moderator Sirs: I appreciate very much your interesting comments in TIME [June 4] in re the 146th General Assembly which several friends had forwarded, not knowing that I began TIME with Volume 1, No. 1.

Presbyterian Hymners

Sirs:

... As a son of a United Presbyterian theological seminary professor . . . and as a one-time United Presbyterian choir singer whose bass has often swung through hymns, limped through Psalms, I know that TIME (June 13, p. 35) made an unTiMEly error when it said the United Presbyterian Church "admits no hymns."

United Presbyterians at one time joined no lodges, played no church organs, sang no hymns. Now. among other things, they do all three. At least five years ago . . . "The Psalter was replaced in most United Presbyterian pews by

"The Psalter-Hymnal." U.P.'s have their choice of droning through often unmusical Psalm music or singing more spirited hymn music. . . .
