Otherwise, fine condition. Text of letter in full: “Congratulations to you, Doug --/ on receiving the award for the most Outstanding Active in Delta Sigma Phi during the school year 1971-72. The certificate honoring you with this award has been mailed to you and this morning we send the other section of it, the medal./ The award will be formally presented to you by the Engineered Leadership Commissioner Brother Harmon Ruliffson of Alpha Psi Chapter. I believe it is his intent to make this presentation during the homecoming activities at which time you would then have a large and captive audience for this beautiful ceremony./ My personal congratulations. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy and I would hope that you would be a true inspiration to others in Delta Sigma Phi that might aspire to this coveted award./ Sincerely,/ YOURS IN THE BOND OF SPHINX”.
