'• Our Fraternity is neither a religious body nor a political organization.
It is neither a scheme for the relief of the poor, nor a substitute for life
insurance. It advocates no special creed, neither does it seek to influence
legislation. It does not deliver to its members homilies dealing with the
demoralizing effects of rags, neither does it ask them to support the families
of their deceased brothers. It is not even a social organization in the accepted
sense of that term. It is the most simple, the most unobtrusive, the least
ostentatious, and, when its purpose is properly carried out, the most beneficial
order within my knowledge."

T N the preparation of this work the idea of defining the position held by the
* general Greek Letter Societies as Institutions in a national as well as
local sense has been constantly kept in mind. It has been believed that this
end could best be subserved, locally, by an actual showing of the ' manner of
men ' who compose these societies, and, more generally, by a history of their
development and a glimpse at their status at the great institutions of learning
which serve as the recruiting stations for these fraternities.
The roster following the historical sketch of each fraternity will be found
a most useful as well as interesting feature of the plan. And, while the aim is
not Pan-Hellenic in the sometimes understood meaning of that word, still it is
believed that the showing made by the various fraternities in this book is such
that it may induce the healthful opinion that no one, nor two, nor half-dozen
of the general Greek Letter Societies monopolize all of the goodfellowship nor
have on their roll of members all the illustrious names in the Greek Letter
world.
To those who have so heartily entered into the spirit of this work and have
assisted so materially to its success by their co-operation, the compilers and
publishers wish to acknowledge their indebtedness. Also to Wendell and Com¬
pany, of this city, for patterns of the various badges illustrated in this volume.

INTRODUCTORY
/^.REEK Letter Societies have engrafted themselves on the university life of
America. The first of them, the justly renowned Phi Beta Kappa was
founded at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Va., on December
5, 1776. But it was not until 1825 that the first general Greek letter fraternity,
with a continuous existence to the present time, was founded at Union Col¬
lege. This organization may justly boast itself as the forerunner of the present
college fraternity, and Union College is often called the "Mother of Fraterni¬
ties." For within her walls, now held sacred by every frater, were founded
not only Kappa Alpha, but several other Greek letter societies, destined to
illustrious and noble fraternity existence.
In their pioneer days, opposed by the faculties of most colleges because
of the secrecy and mystery in which their every act was shrouded, fraternities
had a perilous existence and a slow growth. But during the past fifty years
opposition has gradually died out. and their number has multiplied until they
are recognized factors in the life of every college of commanding influence,
Princeton alone excepted.
Their secrecy, as is well known, is largely a myth, and argument against
them is new without force. Their long continued existence and their roll of
honored alumni have proved their right to live.
The true underlying principles of these organizations is that of brother¬
hood—a banding together for mutual help and improvement. A group of ear¬
nest young men, each one of whom pledged heart and hand to aid the others
9
to make the most of themselves and to gain the most from their college
courses, cannot but be a power for good in any university. Many an alumnus
freely acknowledges much of his success in college and after life to have been
due to the influence of his chapter.
When a fraternity is honestly striving to fulfil this idea, it deserves the
highest praise; when it degenerates into a mere social club, it is unworthy of
its name.
To those who cherish with warmest feeling the friendships made in col¬
lege hall or within the sacred portals of a fraternity lodge, this volume will be
of much interest and value in helping them to locate classmates or fraters
who are now living in Chicago, and therefore the publishers, in compiling it.
have placed every fraternity man under great obligation and are deserving of
hearty support.

YORK HALL-CHI PHI HOUSE AT YALE
THE AMERICAN COLLEGE FRATERNITY
' I HE Greek Letter Societies of the American Universities are secret organ-
' izations of students, who form these brotherhoods for literary and social
purposes, The oldest of these organizations, the Phi Beta Kappa, was estab-
l.shed as early as 1776, and it continued the sole society of its kind for fifty
years. It now differs from all other college fraternities and occupies a unique
place of its own. Its members are selected at the close of their under-graduate
course, and are chosen solely on grounds of scholarship. Membership in one
fraternity is ordinarily a bar to membership in another, although this is not the
case in the Phi Beta Kappa.
The large place these organizations have come to occupy in the American
universities can be inferred from the fact that there are now more than 800
" chapters " of these societies in our colleges, and that their total membership,
including their alumni, is more than 100.000.
In Germany and America students' societies form an important feature of
university life. These organizations influence in no small degree the daily life
of their members. They largely determine the social intercourse of students,
give rise to lasting friendships, regulate conduct, shape ideals and aspirations,
and influence views and habits.
We have in our American universities nothing that answers to the Corps
and Burschatschaften of the German universities. The Corps are said to be
recruited entirely from the wealthy and aristocratic classes, and to attach great
importance to the externals of manners and expenditures, and to be character¬
ized by a strong tendency to an aristocratic aloofness from the great mass of
the students.*
*See Paulsen's German Universities, p. 190.
13
They are the elite of the student body. When they appear together on
formal occasions they carry swords and wear a distinguishing dress. They are
composed in the main of students enrolled under the faculty of law, and in less
degree from those enrolled under the faculty of medicine. The Burschenschaften
are said to make less of social distinctions, to be less exclusive and to have a
greater number of representatives of the different faculties.
There is no element of secrecy about the corps of the German universities.
Their statutes of organization and by-laws have to be submitted to the university
authorities for approval. The Corps-Kneipe is a club room rather than a
"lodge," and outsiders are often invited to the meetings. A corps has no
" chapters" as our American college societies have. It has no existence out¬
side its own university. Its meetings are held twice a week, while the
American college society meets once a week. The corps students are duelists
and each corps has its Fecht-bodcn or fencing room, where its members meet
every day for practice among themselves.t
There also exist in the German universities the 1'erbindungen, which are
mere social clubs. These also aie independent organizations having no
"chapters." Their fellowship is less close and exclusive than that of the
Corps or of the Burschenschaften.
In the English and Scotch universities there seems to be nothing which at
all resembles the college fraternities of the United States. Their societies are
not secret and answer to the open literary societies of the American universities.
In the college fraternities of the United States membership is usually
indicated by gold badges, which contain the name and some of the symbols of
the fraternity. Sometimes they are set in diamonds and precious stones, and
are quite costly. In the German universities the societies are distinguished by
"color-wearing." They wear distinctive caps of a particular color, or some
color emblem attached to their dress.
In the United States it has become quite the practice for the students of a
particular fraternity to reside together during their college course in their
chapter house. A few years ago there were said to be seventy such houses in
the United States which were owned by the chapters, and three times as many
which were rented. There are decided advantages in this practice, as well as
some dangers that need to be guarded against. The members of a chapter
thus living together learn day by day what has been called the great art of gov-
fHart's German Universities, p. 70.

erning themselves. In Germany it is said that there are no laws in the world
which are more scrupulously obeyed and more strictly upheld than the laws
which the students' societies impose upon themselves. As a rule the fraternity
houses in the United States are well conducted. Severe rules are established,
which prohibit students from having intoxicating liquors inside these houses, and
and which forbid any form of gambling. The graduate members residing in
the town often keep up intimate relations with their society, and are keen
observers of the manner in which the under-graduates deport themselves.
Years ago, when the people were stirred to a high state of excitement
against secret societies, chiefly due to their indignation with Masonry, some
of the universities undertook to suppress college fraternities. The attempt led
to much bad feeling and was finally abandoned. As early as 1789, however,
eight years after Phi Beta Kappa was established at Harvard, and long before
the anti-masonic agitation, a committee of the Overseers reported to the board
' that there is an institution in the university with the nature of which the
government is not acquainted, which tends to make a discrimination among
the students,' and submitted the propriety of inquiring into its nature and
design. The chairman of that committee was the John Hancock whose signa¬
ture to the Declaration of Independence has made him immortal ! In 1831
the Harvard Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa were induced, " after a long and angry
discussion," participated in by Judge Story and John Quincy Adams, to throw
open the secrets of that organization to the world. This society is said to
constitute a kind of aristocracy of learning in a democratic country, Its name
in full is, translated. Philosophy, the Guide of Life. A distinguished Harvard
professor has said that this "is the only society whose right to examine the
condition of our scholarship is unquestioned," All other Greek Letter societies
in our colleges are secret organizations, with the exception of the Delta Upsilon,
which is non-secret.
Various judgments have been pronounced upon the value of college
fraternities. They have been denounced by not a few on the ground that they
lead to a neglect of study and to a waste of time ; that they involve consider¬
able expense and develop habits of extravagant expenditure ; that they
inculcate false social standards and tend to a supercilious contempt of non-
fraternity men ; that they lead to dissipation and vice. On the other hand, we
are told that these organizations are helpful and wholesome ; that they have
high ideals and hold' in check evil tendencies ; that the esprit de corps by which
15
they are characterized exerts an excellent influence ; that they tend to develop
a pride of scholarship by requiring their members to complete their studies
creditably, if for no other motive, then, for the sake of the society's reputation
and standing ; that they are organized for the intellectual and moral and social
improvement of their members.
The truth of the matter is that societies differ just as individuals differ.
There are college fraternities whose influence is not altogether wholesome, and
from which a student had better keep aloof. There are also fraternities which
are in a high degree in every way helpful, and to which it is an honor for any
man to belong. If this were not the case, it would be quite impossible to
understand the respect and affection with which mature men of the highest
type, men like George William Curtis and Joseph H. Choate, have been wont
to speak of their college fraternity. It would be still less possible to compre¬
hend why such men should consent to have their sons initiated into the same
society if its influences made for evil and not good. Generalizations are always
dangerous. We are not to condemn college societies because some of them
may be not altogether what they should be. For the same reason we should
not commend them without reservation because some of them may be most
wholesome and helpful. It is as necessary to discriminate between societies
as it is between individuals. A student proposing to enter a college fraternity
should study its membership and determine whether the men who compose it
are the manner of men he wants for friends, This much, however, should in
all fairness be said : No college fraternity can be wholly bad and long exist in
any reputable university. It is the duty of college authorities to weed out bad
men. Men who abandon themselves to dissipation and to a neglect of work,
when they are found out, as sooner or later they are pretty sure to be, are set
adrift. And a society composed of men inclined to dissipation would be under
the necessity of reforming itself before it became very bad, or it would be liable
to be suppressed by action of the proper authorities.
The fact that the universities permit these organizations to exist affords
strong presumption that they are favorably regarded, and that as a class their
influence is for good rather than evil. Princeton is the only institution of any
particular prominence in the country in which fraternities are prohibited, and
there is no reason to believe that the morale of the student body is any higher
there than in the institutions in which a contrary policy is pursued. Indeed it
would not be difficult to show by the utterances of numerous college presidents

These organizations pride themselves on a distinguished membership.
They number among their adherents many men who have won eminence in
statesmanship, diplomacy, jurisprudence, letters, the arts, and in all the various
walks of life. There are found in the faculties of the universities their strong
supporters, men whose personal experience and observation has led them to the
17
conclusion that these societies are worthy of a place in our institutions for the
higher learning. But every effort should be made to keep these organizations
from degenerating into mere social clubs, and no person should be admitted
into their membership unless he is possessed of those intellectual, moral and
social qualities which render intimate association with him desirable and help¬
ful. Fraternity men are sometimes accused of entertaining a weak, narrow
and unworthy prejudice which occasionally leads them to look down upon or
to depreciate non-fraternity or " neutral " men. It may be that such a spirit
now and then appears. That it is discreditable and unworthy is evident. But
that it is largely entertained is not believed. That it should be frowned upon
by all admits of no doubt. Henry Wade Rogers.

THAT OLD FRATERNITY PIN.
I'M a plain old business plodder who don't give a rap for frills,
And I'm worried less by fashion than I am by stocks and bills.
Though my wife insists that in me Nature planned a perfect man,
I'm afraid that I'm not building in accordance with that plan.
I have never owned a watch or worn a chain, or fob, or ring,
And. in fact. I'm out of sympathy with all that sort of thing.
I indulge no taste for baubles. Yet what thoughts come thronging in
When I see some college youngster " flash " my old " frat " pin !
At the sight of that old emblem I forget that I am gray
And my pulse beats just as strongly as upon that far-off day
When a band of student brothers taught me mystic grip and sign,
And I rode their goat in triumph—and that shining badge was mine.
Father Time has not been idle and those " boys " of long ago
Now are scattered far and widely, and their heads are crowned with snow ;
But their hearts. I know, beat warmly, for they keep alive within
All the principles embodied in that old "frat " pin.
How my thoughts go flying backward to youth's iridescent day.
When the world lay all before me and Hope beckoned on the wayl
Now another generation claims the center of the stage,
While I'm ready to write "finis" at the bottom of my page.
I'll confess a strange emotion sets my very soul aglow
As I greet again by proxy those old " boys " of long ago.
How it starts my nerves a-tingling ! How it warms my heart within
When I couple past and present with that old "frat " pin.

EARLY DAYS
IN the striking development of the American college the growth of the social
side has kept close and steady pace, crystalizing in what is termed the
Fraternity System. So perfectly and systematically has the fraternity or
brotherhood idea grown that to day there are few colleges of reputation, rank
or size that are not largely influenced and controlled by it.
The birth of the system dates from the historic year of American Inde-
dependsnce. Like the nation, small and trembling, but brave, the first chapter
of a Greek Letter Society announced its advent in the patriotic village of
Williamsburg. Va., on a bleak December night, 1776. It was here in this
secluded village, amid the primeval forests, that had been founded in the clos¬
ing days of the seventeenth century the second oldest college on American soil.
Perhaps the Virginia colony lacked that devotion to religion and education
that characterized the self-sacrificing men who established Harvard ; yet the
love of that culture born only of education and liberty was exemplified in the
founding of a college so early in the history of the colony.
Near the old college walls stood a modest hostelry where hospitality was
dispensed in true colonial fashion. College and tavern grew old together, and
their frequenters little dreamed of the place in history both were destined to
take. But within the Raleigh Inn the voice of Patrick Henry, in tones which
perpetuated his name, uttered the first battle note of the struggle for independ¬
ence, and in the year that witnessed the same sentiment, armed with legislative
authority, five students of William and Mary, while seated at the hospitable
board of the Raleigh Inn, expressed their bond of fellowship in a written
constitution. This society was known by the Greek Letters Phi Beta Kappa.
Secrecy may have been a useless appendage to this small band of congenial
20

BETA THETA PI HOUSE AT AMHERST
students, but their aim was considered best so subserved and its members were
only known by a badge in the form of a small golden key upon which was
engraved " Phi Beta Kappa," the initials of their motto.
In 1779 a newcomer arrived among the students of William and Mary in
the person of Mr. Elisha Parmele. Mr. Parmele was initiated into the mys¬
teries of Phi Beta Kappa, and so thoroughly was he convinced that the Virginia
dinners enjoyed by this society would taste equally as well at Harvard and
Yale, where he had formerly studied, that he journeyed one fine fall day. by
horse and stage, to New Haven, where, in December, 1779, he established the
chapter at Yale, and a few days later there was added to the Hasty Pudding
and Institute of 1770 at Harvard the Southern society of Phi Beta Kappa.
Thus were the first chapters of the oldest Greek letter society founded.
But the Alpha chapter was destined to soon experience the evil effects of
war, which has twice clothed the college of-William and Mary in poverty. In
1781, General Cornwallis, advancing near Wiljiamsburg. forced this university
to temporarily close. The chapter necessarily became extinct. Harvard and
Yale, however, rapidly extended the order, and chapters were soon thriving at
Dartmouth, Williams. Bowdoin and Amherst. More than seventy years after
the suspending of the parent chapter, one of the original members, although
nearly a centenarian, made the long journey from Philadelphia to William and
Mary to re-establish the chapter.
As the century was nearing the end of its first quarter, time-honored Phi
Beta Kappa had already lost the social characteristics of a Raleigh Inn dinner,
and, more and more, an election to its membership was considered as a reward
of scholastic merit. The golden key, so proudly worn by Virginia youths as
the insignia of genial fellowship, was now taken as evidence of the possession
of book lore and literary attainments.
Under these conditions, it is not strange that in 1825, at old Union College,
four members of Phi Beta Kappa should reincarnate the lost spirit of the youths
of "76 and boldly launch a secret society called Kappa Alpha. This was the
first of the modern Greek letter fraternities, and it was not a great departure
from the original idea of Phi Beta Kappa. They also had chosen a motto, by
the initials of which they were known. Their badge was not a departure from
the original idea of the older society. They also adopted a key, the only
change being that they suspended it from a corner instead of from the center
of its equal sides.
21
It was a stormy sea upon which this new craft embarked. The faculty
was unfriendly. The student body, long accustomed to open literary societies,
found no room for the new project. Yet the society prospered. It won its
way into the heart of college life. Friend and foe acknowledged the courtesy
of its members and the genialty of the wearers of the new badge.
Sigma Phi soon followed Kappa Alpha on the same campus, and in the
short course of a few years other fraternities appeared, and the system of Greek
letter brotherhoods became fairly and firmly launched.
It is interesting to reflect on the early days, when the Greek letter men
were invariably the minority of the student body, and conditions everywhere
seemed hostile to their existence. But the fraternity, contrary to expecta¬
tions, proved to be an association whose influence was to broaden, rather than
to narrow, the friendship of its members. It was a plea for friendship rather
than a protest against it. and its influence became felt beyond the banded
fellowship of its own conservative circle,
In the early days the chapter was a fraternity in itself, and if the mother
chapter had planted charters in other colleges, the association between the two
was not as intimate as it is to-day. It was seldom they came together. The
fraternity interest seemed to be measured by the days in college, and was
counted only a pleasant memory in the years which followed commencement.
Those who organized these fraternities and shaped their policy in the early
days builded far wiser than they knew.
Many are the men who answer to the roll-call of the classes of the thirties
and forties, who, years after they had worn the old fraternity pin, found some
genial youth displaying on his vest the old familiar insignia, and upon inquiry
as to when and where such good fortune befell him, learned that the fraternity,
which had grown dim and almost forgotten, had become an organization of
strength and power, and its chapters were on the green campus of colleges of
standing, from gulf to lakes, and from sea to sea. Such was the glad surprise
to many and many of the " Older Boys." who had wandered into the commer¬
cial and professional world, leaving behind the pleasant memories of youth.

' I 'HE road that winds among the rocks, and lifts
1 The toiler up to heights where all the gifts,
Most manifold, of nature, are enhanced,
And vistas open to the mind entranced
With hopes half realized, is rough and steep.
The level paths are easier to keep.
There are no bruised feet upon the plain ;
No sighs for hopes that proved to be in vain ;
No eyes that ache and yet refuse to weep
Aweary grown with looking up the steep
Ascent for that which, failing of a name
Men call, for lack of better reason, fame.
No balm has yet been found for such as feel
No bruise. That rest alone is sweet and real
When Labor first prepares the couch and makes
Immediate, magic cure of all our aches.
Whatever cause may underlie, 'tis true,
That fame has been monopolized by few
While millions failed, or else did not aspire.
The tide of fortune lifts few from the mire.
Who, beside Caesar passed the Rubicon?
At Waterloo, who stood with Wellington?
Who, with Napoleon, braved the Russian Bear?
With Washington, who crossed the Delaware?
23
Yet there were those who well deserved the meed
Awarded to the one. Their country's need
Became their own, and they as freely gave
Of their heart's blood—nor deigned one drop to save—
As he on whom the laurel wreath was laid.
One name shines through the years, while others fade.
Yet fame is ever circumscribed by fears,
Success breeds cares and victory hath its tears.
The happiest homes are not in palace halls,
Nor hearts found truest where the ermine falls.
In truth, to climb Aornus were an end
Most meet, if on the heights were found a friend
Whose trustful soul against your own would grow,
Too close to be cast off at any blow
Aimed by the tongue of envy or of hate.
They scarce deserve the name of friends who wait
On Fortune, when the brook grows shallow—fools—
Casting about their line for deeper pools.
These last comprise the most of humankind,
And even fame is not so hard to find
As the pure love from friendship's sacred mine.
Which, purged from dross, becomes almost divine.
Not hoarded treasure gained by years of toil,
The finer senses being dulled meanwhile ;
Not high position, with its motley horde
Of clinging sycophants, whose every word
Belies the real desire for pelf and place ;
Not the brief honor of the winning race
For fame, where false ambition sets the pace ;
Not one or all combined can fill the space
Of individual life, from dawn to dark
With full content, whene'er there lacks the spark

A brotherhood. As well attempt to find
A pearl or diamond in the serpent's nest.
As rare content or perfect peace and rest
Where naught but sordid avarice abides
And greed has scorched the soul it all but hides.
Let that fair word, Fraternity, sink deep
Into your hearts and lives, for round it sweep,
At ever varying range, half of the light
And sunshine of this life. It brings no blight.
But bloom instead. It proves a healing balm
To minds diseased. It finds a haven calm
For storm-tossed souls which else might have been lost.
It tells the truth whatever proves the cost.
Fraternity—thou child of college halls,
Although not circumscribed by any walls—
To thee we pledge the cup and faith renew.
To joys you add, in measure more than due.
And to the sorrows, bid us kiss the rod,
Seeing in them, fraternity with God.

OUR BADGE
TO those who wear " The outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual
grace," in the shape of the emblems of the college secret societies, there
always seems to me a peculiar fitness in the selection of the badge itself as
originally designed and worn. The desire for beautiful things and the love of
humanity generally for startling effects, are not necessarily confined to the
female sex, especially when it comes to the question of the wearing of our
emblems. The average student of means, from the moment of his initiation
into a secret society, seems imbued with the idea that he must procure some
insignia of his particular society, which shall be just a little bit different from
that worn by any other of his brothers.
It would be almost impossible to enumerate, much less describe in detail,
the various designs of badges, beautiful and otherwise, which would fill a
catalogue of pins ; nor is it the purpose of this short sketch to go into detail of
their variety, the object being simply to look back to the past of our older
fraternities and see what those men in the infancy of their several societies
designed and authorized as the emblems representing the particular fraternities
to which they swore allegiance.
Consider for a moment some of the older fraternities, for example the
Alpha Delta Phi, the Psi Upsilon and the Delta Kappa Epsilon. In the case
of the first named, for forty years what has been known as the old "slab
badge" was the only authorized insignia of the members belonging thereto.
Even now the two last named fraternities authorize, so far as the writer knows,
no other badge than the slab form so familiar to the members of those frater¬
nities. And why? There must have been as there now is. so far at least as
the Alpha Delta Phi is concerned, a very good and sufficient reason for the
preservation of this old style badge. The use of the Skeleton Star and Cres¬
cent or of the initials of Psi Upsilon, or even of Alpha Delta Phi do not
26
ALPHA DELTA PHI HOUSE AT DARTMOUTH
admit of the introduction of certain other emblems quite as important in them¬
selves as the letters designating their societies. If any Alpha Delta Phi man
is the happy possessor of an old time slab badge, let him turn it over and he
will discover the emblems appearing on the reverse side to be just as essential
to the badge itself as those that appear on its face. That slab badge was first
adopted, in 1833, as the only authentic representation of the principles of the
fraternity, and continued until 1873, when the Skeleton " Star and Crescent"
was authorized, and finally given equal force and effect with the old badge.
But the new fangled shapes and pretty and delicate combinations of many
of the modern pins wholly distract from, and do not draw the mind of the
careful, painstaking society man to, the side of the society which is best worth
thinking about. This is a case of the world, the flesh and the devil, with large
odds on the devil. That idea never suggested itself to the framers of the
various constitutions of the older fraternities. Emblems appearing upon the
badge had to them a meaning, and it was their endeavor in wearing it to live
up to all that their badge imported. It is impossible for the name of the owner
even, aside from other essential features, to appear on the reverse of the
jeweled insignia of any of the societies. They are crowded out by perforations
admitting that glow of light that is supposed to come through the diamond, ruby
or emerald, and thus the insignia that should appear on the reverse of the old
style badge are entirely lacking. I do not intend to inveigh against the ornate
in the style of our various insignia, but the ghosts of our forefathers would
undoubtedly advise a return to the original simple forms, with all the meaning
attaching thereto, in preference to what they might term the frivolity and
frippery and desire for show that animate us poor men. E. R. Jewett.

HISTORICAL SKETCHES
AND ROSTERS
KAPPA ALPHA
T^HE Kappa Alpha Fraternity can justly claim the honor of being the oldest
1 social and literary secret Greek letter organization in the United States.
In 1823 a secret social society was formed at Union College, Schenectady, N.
Y., as a result of discord which had arisen between two factions of a military
company at that place. The late Rev. John H. Hunter was the father of this
organization and with him were a number of congenial students, holding
meetings at their respective houses. In 1825 they formally organized them¬
selves as a secret fraternity, known as Kappa Alpha.
For some time the members were severely criticised and met with strong
opposition. Two years later, however, two other societies sprang into exist¬
ence—Sigma Phi and Delta Phi.
Dr. Hunter and his associates, among whom were Prof. Isaac W. Jackson
of Union College, Dr. Thomas Hunn of Albany, N. Y., Rev. Leonard Woods,
D. D., ex-president of Bowdoin, United States Senator Preston King from New
York, Judge Rufus W. Peckham of Albany, and Judge Levi Hubbell of Mil¬
waukee, had no dream of such a chain of societies binding institution to insti¬
tution and men of different colleges together through the country, such as
has been the direct result of their initial movement. The first group of Kappa
Alpha men at Union stamped a character upon the society which it has never
lost, and laid out its ceremonial features with such remarkable completeness
that few changes have been made in them during sixty years.
In the fall of 1833 a chapter of Kappa Alpha was inaugurated at Williams
College, where the opposition was so marked that in 1839 a social body, known
as "The Equitable Fraternity," led a night attack against the members of Kappa
Alpha at their rooms in a private residence about a mile from the College, but
were repelled. In 1864 the society came into possession of a house and
31
grounds in a most desirable part of Williamstown, and in 1877 a beautiful
lodge was erected. The history of the chapter has been marked by unusual
evenness of character and its prosperity has been continuous.
In 1844 Kappa Alpha established a chapter at Geneva (now Hobart), its
members coming indirectly from a burlesque society named " The Skin and
Bones." The meetings were held in the American Hotel (now the Kirkwood),
where they had rooms properly fitted up. The chapter had a successful
existence, and many of its members, later, became prominent in public life.
In 1854 the chapter was suspended. The alumni at Hobart re-established the
chapter in 1879, since which it has had a highly successful career. The
chapter now has desirable grounds and plans are on foot to erect a fine lodge.
At Princeton, what bade fair to be a successful chapter was established in
the winter of 1852. This chapter was given up because of the enactment of
anti-fraternity laws at that place.
The career of Kappa Alpha at the University of Virginia, which was estab¬
lished in in 1856, was a brief and brilliant one, its life being extinguished
at the outbreak of the civil war, as most of its members naturally joined the
Confederate army.
At Cornell, a chapter was inaugurated with the birth of the college, and in
1887 a very handsome lodge was constructed. The chapter there has been
highly successful.
In 1892 a chapter was established at Toronto University.
In 1894 the last chapter was established, that of Lehigh, and like its pre¬
decessors, has started with a vim that cannot but win success.
The Union Chapter celebrated its semi-centennial with elaborate cere¬
monies in 1875, some of the original members being present.
Alumni organizations are in several cities. They hold annual reunions
and banquets. A dining club is maintained by members of the society at New
York City. Several reunions have also been held in Chicago.
Records have been published at intervals, the last of which was issued in
1892. Supplements are published annually.
The emblem of the fraternity is a diamond-shaped golden key.
The fraternity color is scarlet.
The society has never admitted honorary members.

SIGMA PHI
'The Sigma Phi Fraternity was established at Union College in 1827. The
* founders were T. F. Bowrie, George N. Porter, Chas. Rowley. S. W.
Beall, R. h. Champan and Chas. T. Cromwell. The policy of Sigma Phi
from its foundation has been on conservative lines. It has but seven active
chapters in existence at the present time. They are at the following colleges:
Union, Hamilton, Williams, Hobart, University of Vermont, University of
Michigan, and Lehigh University. Each chapter owns its chapter house.
The total membership is about 2.500.
The fraternity has no honorary members.
An annual convention of delegates from the various chapters governs the
fraternity.
Catalogues have been issued every three or four years since the first one.
which came out in 1834. Song books and addresses have also frequently
been published for private circulation.
The badge of the fraternity is made up of the two Greek letters, " Sigma
and Phi." in the form of a monogram.
The colors are light blue and white.
The Chicago alumni association holds frequent reunions and banquets.

DELTA PHI
"THE Fraternity of Delta Phi, which was organized at Union College on
* November 18, 1827, is the third oldest of the Greek Letter Societies. It,
with Kappa Alpha and Sigma Phi, the two preceeding organizations, laid the
foundations of the present college fraternity system, and for a long time these
three were known as the "Union Triad,"
In 1837 the fraternity organized a branch at Brown University, and since
that time chapters have been established in all of the larger institutions of
learning in the East.
The fraternity policy has always been along very conservative lines, and
consequently the membership is comparatively small, the men being mainly
drawn from the Middle and New England States, where it holds a high social
rank.
There are now twelve chapters, with a membership of about three
thousand.
Delta Phi has no alumni associations at present, and but one club, which
is located at 56 East 49th street, New York City. The yearly conventions are
held there, and it is the general headquarters of the fraternity.
The last catalogue was issued in the spring of 1897, and hereafter it will
come out once every ten years, but supplements containing corrections and
additional names will be published from time to time as required.
Nearly all the chapters own houses, the one at Yale being especially fine.
The following is a list of the active chapters : Union College, Brown Uni¬
versity, New York University, Columbia College, Rutgers College. Harvard
University, University of Pennsylvania, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Lehigh University, Johns Hopkins University, Yale. Cornell University.
There were also chapters at Princeton, University of Michigan. University
of North Carolina and Colgate, but they are now inactive.
The fraternity colors are light blue and white.

DELTA PHI HOUSE AT YALE
ALPHA DELTA PHI
THE Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity was founded at Hamilton College in 1832
by Samuel Eells, a student from Ohio, a man of sterling integrity and
great ability, whose untimely death at the age of thirty-two alone prevented
his attaining a national reputation. He was at the time of his death the friend
and law partner of Salmon P. Chase, who afterwards became Chief Justice of
the United States. His idea was to establish a fraternity whose aim should be
to supplement the college course by outside literary work, and also to develop
the social nature by the cultivation of a fraternal bond of friendship.
The fraternity was judiciously extended, the first chapters being planted
under the founder's immediate supervision. It was the pioneer fraternity in
over a dozen of the best colleges of the East, including Columbia, Yale,
Harvard, Amherst, Brown, Bowdoin and Rochester. It is the oldest of the
large fraternities, there being but three older ones in the country, each of them
much smaller. It was also the first fraternity to go into the West, and in 1833
established a chapter in Miami University at Oxford, Ohio, which was at that
time one of the leading institutions of learning in the West. As a result of the
establishment there of Alpha Delta Phi. Miami became the mother of most of
the prominent Western fraternities. Beta Theta Pi was the first one, and
came into existence in 1839. Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi were rocked in
the same cradle a few years later. Thus it will be seen that the pioneer work
of Alpha Delta Phi was something of which any fraternity might feel proud.
But what would it profit a fraternity to be a pioneer unless it established a
high standard for others to follow ? How lofty the standards and ideals of
4i
Alpha Delta Phi are, may be learned from an examination of the long list of her
illustrious sons. The Harvard Chapter alone has enough illustrious names on
its roll to establish the reputation of any fraternity. When one considers that
James Russell Lowell, Phillips Brooks, Oliver Wendell Holmes. Jr.. Chas.
Francis Adams, Jr., Edward Everett Hale. President Elliott, of Harvard, and
the two leading members of the bar of New York City to-day. Joseph H.
Choate and James C. Carter, are all from the Harvard chapter, one can obtain
some idea of the standard Alpha Delta Phi has raised for others to follow.
The Yale Chapter is not far behind Harvard, and the smaller colleges have
done their share. This fraternity is quite distinctively a literary organization
and it has sought and obtained those who were aspirants for literary honors.
In addition to the names already mentioned, it will not detract any to add
Donald G. Mitchell. Hamilton W. Mabie and .George William Curtis in the
field of literature, and in theology the names of Bishops Coxe and Huntington
of the Episcopal Church, and Dr. Storrs, of Brooklyn. Probably the fratern¬
ity's most conspicuous strength at the present time is in the line of education.
It numbers in its ranks today the presidents of Yale, Harvard, Johns Hop¬
kins, Clark. Amherst, Northwestern, Union. Andover. Smith and Vassar. In
public life Senator Allison, of Iowa, is its most prominent representative, and
at the time of the death of the late Justice Blatchford, of the U. S. Supreme
Court, one-third of the nine members of that body were members of this
fraternity, the other two being Justices Shiras and Brown. In diplomacy.
Alpha Delta Phi has been represented by ministers to England, Germany,
France, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Holland, Austria, Greece and Belgium. The
most recent of these appointments were under the Cleveland administration-. •
Mr. Uhl, at Berlin, and Mr. Quimby. at the Hague, both being graduates of
the chapter in the University of Michigan.
The Chicago Graduate Chapter of Alpha Delta Phi is composed of some
two hundred members, and its present board of officers are David E. Bradley,
president; Rev. T. W. Goodspeed, vice-president; Henry M. Bates, secretary;
Henry W. Austin, treasurer. The following members have been prominent
as officers or otherwise in the graduate chapter: Rev. Herrick Johnson, Rev,
David Swing, James S. Norton, George Howland, C. Fred Kimball, Judge
Jos. M. Bailey, Judge Wm. H. Barnum, Franklin H. Head, A. A. Sprague,

This fraternity is prominently connected with the University of Chicago,
having four members of the board of trustees, Rev. A. K. Parker, D. L.
Shorey, Wm. Rockefeller, son of the founder of the University, and T. W.
Goodspeed, who is also secretary of the University. The fraternity is well
represented on the faculty, as well, and its under-graduate chapter there does
it great credit. There are at present 23 chapters in the fraternity. In addition
to those already mentioned it is represented in Adelbert, Dartmouth, Michigan,
Williams, New York City College, Wesleyan, Kenyon, Union, Cornell, Trinity.
Johns Hopkins. Minnesota, Toronto and McGill, the latter two being the
greatest universities in Canada. In this respect it is an international fraternity.
Its influence has ever been exerted to bring out the best there is in man. Its
members are loyal, and its motto "Manns mult at, cor uuum

PSI UPSILON
"T* HE Psi Upsilon Fraternity was founded with the establishment of the
' Theta Chapter at Union College. Schenectady, N. Y., November 24,
1833. The original founders, seven in number, were Samuel Goodale, now
of Columbus, Neb.; Sterling Goodale Hadley, of Waterloo, N. Y.; Edward
Martindale, of New York City; George Washington Tuttle, of Bath. N.Y.;
Robert Barnard, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.; Charles Washington Harvey, of
Buffalo. N. Y,; Merwin Henry Stewart, of Troy N. Y. Of these Samuel
Goodale, Sterling Goodale Hadley and Edward Martindale still survive. In
recent years, Samuel Goodale, who is now about eighty-six years of age, has
attended a number of- the fraternity conventions, meetings and banquets, among
which was the re-institution ceremony of the Omega Chapter in the University
of Chicago, at the Auditorium in Chicago November 24. 1897. He is still
active in mind and body, and, while living in the splendid memories of the
past, keeps abreast of the progress and achievements of the present. On every
public and private occasion, he is accorded the place of honor, and is rightfully
regarded and venerated by the Psi Upsilons of to-day as the father of the
fraternity.
There have been established altogether twenty-two chapters of the frater¬
nity, of which twenty-one are to-day active, thriving chapters. The fraternity
has no chapters south of the Ohio, or west of the Mississippi River, and but
one chapter, namely, the Alpha, at Harvard College, which is inactive.
The following is a list of the chapters : Union College. University of New
York. Yale College, Brown University. Amherst College, Dartmouth College.
Columbia College, Bowdoin College, Hamilton College, Wesleyan University.
Harvard College, University of Rochester, Kenyon College, University of
Michigan, University of Chicago, Syracuse University, Cornell University,
Trinity College, Lehigh University, University of Pennsylvania, University of
Minnesota and University of Wisconsin.
The tenth catalogue of the fraternity, which was the last one published,
appeared in March, 1888, and contained 6,778 names of initiates. It showed
an annual increase in names of 204 per annum during the nine years interven¬
ing since the publication of the ninth catalogue in 1879. If the same rate of
increase be taken for a period of ten years intervening since the publication of
the tenth catalogue, the names of Psi Upsilon initiates would now be over
8,800. However, during the last ten years the chapters have averaged a
larger membership and three new chapters have been added, so that it is
almost certain that the list of Psi Upsilon initiates numbers about 9,000 at the
present time.
The spirit of Psi Upsilon has not been confined to college halls, but has
made itself recognized and its influence felt in and through a large number of
strong, enthusiastic alumni associations, among which may be mentioned the
Psi Upsilon Club of New York, and the Psi U. Alumni Associations of Boston,
Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, Grand Rapids, Milwaukee, Hono¬
lulu, and other cities.
The Psi Upsilon Association of the Northwest, with headquarters at
Chicago, although it had existed in an unorganized condition for about fifteen
years, was not thoroughly organized and incorporated until May 15, 1890.
From the time of its incorporation under the laws of Illinois it has grown
rapidly in numbers. Its object is to promote the welfare of the Psi Upsilon
Fraternity, to cultivate social intercourse among its members, and to maintain
the fraternity spirit and sentiment among the alumni of the Northwest. Thus
far it has succeeded in a marked degree in achieving the object of its formation.
It aims to call its members together at least twice a year at the semi-annual
banquets, which in recent years have been held at the Union League Club in
Chicago, and have proved most entertaining and satisfactory to all who have
attended.
The most recent list of members of the association, published in 1897.
contains 322 names, of which all but 83 are residents of Chicago and the
immediate vicinity. This list is far from complete,
The fraternity holds a convention once each year with some one of its
chapters, and its general administrative business is transacted through and
conducted by the executive council of five members, who reside in New York,
which city is also the place of business of the council.
The fraternity colors, which are worn by Psi Upsilons on all public
occasions in the different colleges, and particularly at the annual convention,
are garnet and gold.
52
The tendency in recent times to build chapter houses for the Greek letter
fraternities in the different college towns has been followed by Psi Upsilon.
Nearly all of its chapters have their own houses, or chapter houses, where their
members reside and where their meetings and social functions are held. One
of the handsomest and most imposing of these is that of Phi Chapter, at Ann
Arbor, Mich. It is situated directly opposite the southwest corner of the
campus, at the southeast corner of two of the most prominent streets of the
city. This situation, for a chapter house, is the most commanding in the city.
All receptions, dances and fraternity gatherings are held at this house, and
about twenty-six of the chapter members reside there constantly.
Among the important historical events in Psi Upsilon annals there are two
that will never be forgotten. One of these was the ever memorable Psi Upsilon
trip over the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad and its connections from
Detroit to Salt Lake City, Utah, in April, 1869, and the other, the semi-centen¬
nial convention of the fraternity at Albany, N. Y., in May, 1883.
Through the kindness and hospitality of the late Perry H. Smith—always
a loyal and enthusiastic Psi U.—there was tendered to all the Psi U's of the United
States, in the spring of 1869, a cordial invitation to make a trip over the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad from Detroit to Salt Lake City. Mr. Smith was then
residing in Chicago and was vice-president of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company. He arranged and directed the whole trip himself. Nothing
was left undone that could contribute to the comfort and pleasure of the excur¬
sion. Pullman palace sleeping cars were provided for the entire journey.
Special cars were placed at the service of the fraternity at Detroit, and all the
Psi U's of the United States afforded an opportunity of seeing the Western
country. Over fifty of the college boys, representing ten states and the District
of Columbia, availed themselves of Mr. Smith's generous fraternal invitation.
On March 30,1869, the Psi Upsilons, overflowing with college spirit and stirred
by the music of the fraternity, began their celebrated trip at the city of Detroit.
Upon reaching Chicago a stop of two days was arranged and a magnificent
entertainment and reception provided for the fraternity at the home of Mr.
Smith on the North Side. The Psi U's were there presented to many prom¬
inent Chicagoans and especially to many prominent young ladies of the
North Side.
The trip was a remarkable success in every particular, and the Psi U. men,
who were fortunate enough to enjoy it, will never cease to bear in grateful
53
remembrance the name of Perry H. Smith, whose fraternal loyalty and gener¬
osity, on this occasion, as on many others during his life, contributed so greatly
to the pleasure of his brother Psi U's and to the honor of the fraternity he loved.
The semi-centennial convention of the fraternity at Albany. N.Y., held
with the Theta Chapter of Union College—the mother chapter of Psi Upsilon—
in May, 1883, witnessed the largest and most notable gathering of the fraternity
ever held. About 300 members from all parts of the United States, and repre¬
senting every chapter and alumni association, were in attendance. Three of
the founders of the fraternity. Hon. Sterling Goodale Hadley, George Wash¬
ington Tuttle and Charles Washington Harvey, honored the occasion with their
presence. Looking back through the vista of fifty years, they were able to
recall the early struggles of the fraternity and in simple but most impressive
language to tell the story of the birth of Psi Upsilon.
Among those who were present and participated in the proceedings were :
Prof. Willard Fiske, Prof. Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen, Chas. Dudley Warner,
Prof. [Goldwin Smith, Hon. Albion W. Tourgee, Hon. Joseph R. Hawley,
Hon. Alexander H. Rice.
Letters of congratulation were read at the banquet from Rev. Samuel
Goodale, Hon. Andrew D.White, Chauncey M. Depew, Hon. William P, Frya,
Hon. William Walter Phelps, President Seelye and hosts of others, and finally
the following telegram from the President of the United States was read and
followed by enthusiastic outbursts of applause:
To Hon. Alexander H. Rice, May 25. 1883.
President Psi Upsilon Convention,
Delavan House, Albany, N. Y.:
I hereby regret my inability to share with my brethren in Psi
Upsilon, now gathered in convention at Albany, the enjoyment
of this evening's festivities. To them all, and through them all
to the members of our fraternity, I send cordial greeting, Sing
for my sake the old refrain :
"Then 'till the sands of life are run,
We'll sing to thee, Psi Upsilon,
Long Live Psi Upsilon! Psi Upsilon!"
Chester A. Arthur.
No event previous to, nor since the semi-centennial convention, can be
compared to it in enthusiasm, attendance, importance or in the large number
of distinguished Psi U's present. W. T. Underwood.

DELTA UPSILON
CVERY organization that has a life worth the living has a principle worth
' the telling. The Delta Upsilon Fraternity assumes to be such an organ¬
ization, and its vital purpose, stated briefly, is to secure the union of college
men of kindred tastes for the promotion of social, intellectual and moral cul¬
ture on an open basis.
In the main its aims differ little, perhaps, from those apparently professed
by the secret college fraternities. It is in its principle of conduct toward out¬
siders that its position is unique. On this line it can be said without Phari-
seeism the fraternity has no rival. For while other fraternities differ from
each other in achievements, in closeness of organization, in degree of exten¬
sion, Delta Upsilon differs from the rest in a fundamental idea expressly
declared in its constitution.
The Delta Upsilon Fraternity is an open, non-secret organization. By
these words, open and non-secret, is not mèant that the proceedings of its
chapters are necessarily to be published in the college papers. Nor does it
mean that its meetings are open to all, with or without invitation. On the con¬
trary, it means first of all, that the fraternity constitution is open to such per¬
sons as care to read it. It means that no man joins the fraternity knowing
nothing of what the final pledge requires. It means that that pledge puts on
the initiate no obligation to keep from any one information regarding the
chapter or fraternity that he may wish to impart.
The fraternity was founded in 1834 at Williams College. Its history has
been one of constant growth. The Delta Upsilon Fraternity to-day numbers
over seven thousand members. It has active chapters in thirty-one colleges,
as follows : Williams, Union, Hamilton, Amherst, Adelbert, Colby, Rochester.
Middlebury, Bowdoin. Rutgers, Brown, Colgate, New York, Cornell, Marietta,
Syracuse, Michigan, Northwestern. Harvard, Wisconsin, Lafayette, Columbia,
Lehigh, Tufts, De Pauw, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Technology, Swarthmore,
Stanford. California.
67
These chapters have an average of twenty-four under-graduate members
each. Eighteen of these chapters own their own chapter houses, and four are
planning to build this summer. There are fifteen alumni clubs of the fra¬
ternity located in New York. N. Y.: Chicago, 111.; Boston, Mass.: Rochester,
N. Y.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Providence, R. I.; Buffalo, N. Y.; Indianapolis,
Ind.; Detroit, Mich.; Columbus, Ohio ; Cleveland, Ohio ; Philadelphia, Pa.;
Duluth, Minn., and Superior, Wis.
The fraternity numbers among its sons many who have gained distinction
in various fields in this and other lands, among them being President James
A. Garfield, Secretaries of War Redfield Proctor and Daniel S. Lamont,
Attorney General W. H. H. Miller, Stephen J. Field. Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States; Charles C. Nott, Judge of the United States Court
of Claims ; Charles G. Dawes, Comptroller of the Currency; Elijah B. Sher¬
man, L. L. D., Master in Chancery of the Circuit Court of the United States
at Chicago ; and Judges Hamilton, of Minnesota; Borden, of Texas; Boise,
of Oregon, and Tripp, of South Dakota.
Delta Upsilon has a long list of United States senators and members of
congress, among whom may be mentioned the venerable Senator Justin S.
Morrill, of Vermont; Congressmen Blair, of Michigan; Payne and Smith,
of New York ; Sperry, of Connecticut; Stone, of Pennsylvania, and Rockwell,
of Maine. Also governors and ex-governors such as Knapp, of Alaska ; Pow¬
ers, of Maine ; Voorhees, of New Jersey, and Stearns, of Florida.
Among her college presidents are David Starr Jordan, of Leland-Stanford
University; E. Benjamin Andrews, of Brown University; Beniah L. Whitman,
of Columbian University; Chancellor Snow, of Kansas University: Yatobe, of
the University of Japan ; Atherton, of the Pennsylvania State College, and

Nehemiah Boynton, B. Fay Mills, William Elliott Griffis, Samuel E. Herrick,

Country." William Swinton, Henry Randall Waite, Homer Greene. W. F.

BETA THETA PI
DETA THETA PI Was the first so-called "Western" fraternity to be
*—* established. It was founded at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, in
1839, John Riley Knox being the man who first suggested its organization and
one of the leading spirits in its affairs from that date until his death, which
occurred in January, 1898.
The fraternity adopted from the start a very active and aggressive policy,
and in addition to the chapters established by itself it greatly added to its hold
upon the East by its union in 1879 with Alpha Sigma Chi and in 1889 with the
Mystical Seven. The former fraternity was founded at Rutgers College in
1883, and the latter at Wesleyan University in 1837. They both had good
chapter rolls, and the alumni of both were admitted into full fellowship in the
Beta The ta Pi.
Although aggressive and liberal in its policy of extension, Beta Theta Pi
has always held high its standard of membership, and has an especially strong
roster of active chapters.
The government of the fraternity, during the first eight years of its
existence, was in the hands of the Alpha Chapter, but after that time a con¬
vention of the general fraternity assumed its government. During the recess
of this convention the affairs of the fraternity were administered by the presid¬
ing chapter, each chapter being successively termed the presiding chapter, in
the order of establishment. This system of government continued practically
unaltered until 1879, when a new constitution was adopted providing for a
board of nine directors, three retiring each year. The members of this board
were usually so chosen that six of them resided in the same vicinity.
In 1898 a revised constitution was adopted reducing the board of trustees
to six, establishing the office of president, making the general officers members
of the board, and greatly centralizing the doing of business.
77
Five catalogues have been issued and a song book published at six different
times. " Beta Theta Pi," the official organ of the fraternity, was founded in
1872, and has since enjoyed a continuous and prosperous existence.
The badge is an eight-sided shield, the sides of which curve inward. The
shield is black enamel, displaying the Greek characters Beta Theta Pi, above
which is a wreath encircling a diamond. At the top of the badge are three
stars in gold. At the bottom, and beneath the name of the fraternity, are four
Greek letters,
The colors are light pink and light blue. Its flower is the rose, each
chapter choosing a separate variety.
Alumni Associations are at Akron, O.; Boston ; Charleston, W. Va.;
Chicago ; Cincinnati ; Cleveland ; Columbus, O.; Denver ; Hamilton, O.;
Kansas City ; Milwaukee; Minneapolis; Nashville, Tenn.; New York; Phil¬
adelphia; Pittsburgh; Providence, R. I.; St. Louis; San Francisco ; Spring¬
field, O.; Washingtan. D. C.; Wheeling. W. Va.

CHI PSI
|HE Chi Psi Fraternity was founded at Union College, the mother of many
* of the oldest fraternities, in the Spring of 1841. The original members
were Major-General James C. Duane, chief of engineers, U. S. A.; Judge
Patrick U. Major. Philip Spencer, Col. Alexander P. Berthond, John Brush,
Jr.. Dr. Jacob A. Farrell, Robert H. McFadden, Samuel T. Taber. Hon. Wm.
F- Terhune and Hon. James L. Witherspoon.
The fraternity immediately extended itself, choosing only those institu¬
tions whose soil was most fertile for college fraternities, as they exist. The
wisdom of its choice manifests itself in the fact that the early chapters and the
recent ones are all equally prosperous. Conservative extension in the Forties
was followed by the same care in the succeeding decades, and is now the
established policy of the fraternity. As the first Eastern fraternity to "go
west," being the pioneer society at the Universities of Michigan and Minne¬
sota, and as the only Eastern fraternity with a strongly developed Southern
wing, Chi Psi pre-eminently holds a national character.
Chi Psi has now a total membership of 3,750, and 18 active chapters. It
owns at present eight beautiful homes, and in the near future anticipates pos¬
sessing half a dozen more. The chapter house at Cornell University is
acknowledged by all to be the finest Greek letter fraternity house in this coun¬
try, representing an original cost of between $300.000 and $400,000, In the
middle-west Chi Psi is the only fraternity owning homes at the Universities of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. During the World's Fair, it was the
only college society which maintained a club house in Chicago.
89
Chi Psi fosters more of a secret character than most of the fraternities,
withdrawing itself from rather than pushing itself before the public eye. The
bond among its members is very close, changing in no degree after college
life, except to be drawn the tighter. Evidences of this are seen in the active
alumni associations, which vie in loyalty with the neighboring college chap¬
ters. There exist now some twenty live alumni associations, which meet, not
only in the yearly banquet, but in numerous informal dinners.
The close bond in the fraternity was greatly strengthened almost at its
inception by the death of Philip Spencer, one of the original members. He
was a son of a cabinet officer and a member of a family of high social posi¬
tion. Leaving college, he entered the navy, and while serving as a midship¬
man on the U. S. Brig of War Somers, was hung at the yard arm for alleged
mutiny. The charge was groundless and has been proven so by many writ.rs,
such as Senator Benton in his " Thirty Years' View," James Fenimore Cooper
and Gail Hamilton. For years after this occurrence, the Chi Psis were dubbed
" Pirates " by their rivals in reference to the sad fate of Philip Spencer.
But they defended him to a man and made him as St. Philip, the Patron Saint
of the fraternity.
Chi Psi has published regularly catalogues and song books, has its waltz
and two-step, and issues a quarterly, the Purple and Cold, named from the
fraternity colors. This magazine, now in its fifteenth year, has a circulation
of over one-third of the total membership.
The Badge is a jeweled monogram, composed of the Greek letter "Chi"
laid upon the Greek letter " Psi."
The chapters are termed Alphas.
The fraternity has no honorary members, and does not allow a member
to divide his allegiance with any other college society.
A few of its members are: Chief Justice Fuller, of the U. S. Supreme
Court ; Speaker Thomas B. Reed, of the House of Representatives ; President
Thomas W. Palmer, of the World's Columbian Exposition ; Ex-Postmaster
General Don M. Dickinson ; Ex-Secretary of Agriculture J. Stirling Morton:
Elbridge T. Gerry and Wm. Astor (now deceased), of New York City ; Judge
Wm. L. Putman, U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and Judges Chas. C. Dwight
and Francis M. Scott, of the N. Y. Supreme Court.
List of active Alphas of Chi Psi: Union College, Williams College,
Middlebury College, Wesleyan University, Hamilton College, University of
90
Michigan. Furman University, Amherst College, Cornell University, Wofford
College, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, Rutgers College,
Stevens Institute of Technology, University of Georgia, Lehigh University,
Leland Stanford University, University of California.
The officers of the Chicago alumni association of Chi Psi for the year
1898 are: President, Prof. James H, Norton; vice-president, Charles L.
Billings; secretary and treasurer, John P. Montross.

DELTA KAPPA EPSILON
A S with a man or a nation, so with a fraternity. In the short space alloted
to this sketch, it is not the whole story of Delta Kappa Epsilon, not even
the title of all the chapters in its chronicles that will be mentioned. A little
over half a century ago our fraternity was founded. It had its beginning at
Yale in 1844, and during the interval of fifty-four years it has grown to an
organization that picks the best men from thirty-five of the leading colleges
and universities of the United States. The oldest of them cannot yet be an old
man, and yet the list is crowded with names the country knows and honors.
During this time the conditions of student association have so changed that
the glory of those early days, of which the witnesses yet survive, seems like
prehistoric fable. In the imagination of each succeeding class the sun will b;
always shining on that log cabin in the Ohio forest, and the ivy will be eve:
thick and green about the temple at Yale, to which Mecca so many pilgrimages
have been made. To these and other memories of the heroic age of Delta
Kappa Epsilon, her every triumph adds new pledges that they shall be per¬
petual.
The details of the founding of our parent chapter are too well known to be
repeated here. From the beginning the Dekes realized that they were found¬
ing a fraternity, not establishing a study hall.
The policy was clear, to make head against rivals in the East, and then
surpass them in the South and West. Scarcely two years had elapsed before
Bowdoin and Colby, Princeton and Amherst were occupied by aggressive
chapters, and our first national convention called to meet at Yale at Christmas,
1846. The whole field of fraternity possibilities was gone over, and it was
determined to occupy at once the leading southern colleges.
Nor was this all. In eight years Delta Kappa Epsilon had become
thoroughly national. The impetus given by the early Yale classes seemed to
assure prosperity for all time to come. For more than eight years longer her
sky was to remain unclouded, and her grip to continue to be the open sesame,
that, from Maine to Mississippi, opened to the visiting student the choicest
circles of every great college in the land. Petitions for charters showered on
every convention, and from the crowd of applicants Delta Kappa Epsilon added
new chapters to her galaxy.
97
Before 1861, she had issued three catalogues—as creditable a series of
similar publications as was then in existence—and her first song, in the con¬
tents of which Psi U was her only rival. The Quarterly was yet twenty years
off, but in 1847 had been commenced the systematfc gathering of material for
a Delta Kappa Epsilon magazine, the first number of which was issued in 1861.
The first of her conventions were duly organized bodies of delegates rather
than the informal gatherings frequently called such by other Greeks ; and the
Washington dinner of 1855 was the first national public dinner of a Greek letter
fraternity.
At Kenyon, our Lambda's log cabin, Built in 1854, was the first Greek
letter fraternity chapter hall, and at Miami and Yale substantial brick lodges
were then building.
The last few years had been especially propitious ones ; so that every
great college in the land, save Princeton, was Delta Kappa Epsilon territory.
The convention held at New York in 1860 had been the most noteworthy
ever assembled. And in January, 1861, had been published the grandest of
all fraternity music, the Delta Kappa Epsilon March. But at the first breaking
out of hostilities in 1861, the Southern Dekes rushed into Confederate service,
and college after college closed as its students joined the ranks; while at the
North, the chapters were depleted by enlistment, and on both sides Delta
Kappa Epsilon alumni hastened into camp. From first to last D. K. E. was at
the front on both sides. When the first shot was fired on Sumter, the Delta
boys were already in Confederate uniform, and at its first echo the members of
every chapter hastened to the field. At Great Bethel, the first important en¬
gagement of the war, Theodore Winthrop, of Phi, led the advance of the Union
force, and the Dekes, of Beta, were among the Confederates whose fire left him
dead on the field. At Shiloh and Gettysburg, D. K. E. met D. K. E. in combat;
and when, six years after at Appomattox, the last engagement was fought, it
was a Delta Kappa Epsilon Confederate colonel, of Zeta, who was then brought
to bay after more than four years of continuous service.
And so, in 1865, when the war was over, Delta Kappa Epsilon found her¬
self bereaved indeed. Not a single Southern chapter remained active, and at
our Northern colleges there was no longer the attendance of Southern students
that had so largely contributed to D. K. E. strength. For years the fraternity
struggled to repair its losses.
So much for the first twenty-five years of Delta Kappa Epsilon's history.

HENRY V. FREEMAN
Delta Kappa Epsiion — Phi-Yale —'69—Justice Appellate
Court First District of Illinois, Appellate Court-
Residence, 5760 Woodlawn Avenue,
With 1869 commenced a new epoch of steady development that has continued
to the present.
Fifty-four years have passed since the organization of this Greek letter
society. The history of those years is a chapter roll embracing the following
thirty-five representative institutions of learning in this country.
Yale. Bowdoin, Colby, Amherst, Nashville, University of Alabama,
Brown, University of Mississippi, University of North Carolina, University of
Virginia, Miami, Kenyon, Dartmouth, Central University of Kentucky, Middle-
bury, University of Michigan, Williams, Lafayette, Hamilton, Colgate, College
of the City of New York, University of Rochester, Rutgers, DePauw.Wesleyan,
Rensselaer Polytechnic, Adelbert, Cornell, University of Chicago, Syracuse,
Columbia, University of California, Trinity, University of Minnesota, Massa¬
chusetts Institute of Technology.
There are twenty-three alumni associations, with a membership of more
than ten thousand names. The following is a list of the alumni associations :
New York City, Association of New England, The Northwestern Associa¬
tion, Detroit, Association of the Pacific Coast, Washington, Rhode Island.
Buffalo, Kentucky Cleveland, Club of the Northwest, Eastern New York Asso¬
ciation, Rochester, Connecticut, Mississippi Valley Alumni Association,
Chattanooga Southern Association, Western Michigan Association, Harvard
Association, Association of Central New York, Indiana, Mountain Association,
Western Massachusetts Association, Wisconsin, Association of Central Ten¬
nessee.
Northwestern Association, of Chicago, claims to be the best and most
thoroughly organized college fraternity alumni association in the West. This
group of college men held its first meeting and banquet at the Tremont House,
of this city, June 24, 1881. Some sixty loyal Dekes were present, including
twelve of the under-graduates from the then active and prosperous chapter
of the old Chicago University. Gen. Horace H. Thomas, Alpha Alpha (Middle-
bury), '57, was chosen for the first president.
In the early '60s there were several Delta Kappa Epsilons (then called
Delta Kaps) in the old Green Mountain Chapter, who came West after gradua¬
tion and made their homes in Chicago. College memories and friendships
formed during their under-graduate days became an important element in the
establishment of the association. About a decade later. Chicago University
graduated a similar coterie of loyal brother Dekes,
99
These two groups were naturally drawn toward each other by fraternal
ties, and their enthusiasm, for the fraternity resulted in the origin of the asso¬
ciation. These two factors, assisted materially by the many resident Dekes
of other chapters, have made the Northwestern Association a most prosperous
organization of fraternity men. The records now show one hundred and fifty
active members representing twenty-seven of the thirty-five active chapters.
The cultivation of sociability and good fellowship, and the promotion of
Delta Kappa Epsilon interests in the West, has been the aim of the association.
During the first eight years of its existence, banquets were held only annually.
At a meeting held January 3, 1889, a re-organization was effected. Since that
time four informal bi-monthly dinners have been given each year, in addition to
the " annual," which is more formal and still prevails. Under this new system
the membership has steadily increased, and during the past eight years over
forty informal dinners and banquets have beên given, with a total attendance
of over two thousand men.
Since the re-organization, the association has been represented at every
D. K. E. convention by one or more delegates, duly elected and accredited.
Two conventions have been held under its auspices in this city, one in October,
1887, and one in November, 1897. Five of the members were charter mem¬
bers of their chapters in the '50s, but time has dealt kindly with them, and their
enthusiasm is equal to that of any of the younger men.
Much could be written of those who have worshiped at the shrine of the
fraternity and there paid their vows. In the record of the past half century
there are names which have been most influential in directing state and
national legislation; names which have adorned the science of jurisprudence
and theology and medicine, and which will live in the literature of the pro¬
fessions ; names of scientists and professors and authors who have largely
influenced public opinion upon measures of public policy; names of soldiers
who rendered the full measure of their devotion on fields of battle, while the
pages of the fraternity are resplendent with the glory of her sons in the mighty
struggle to preserve the the Union. A society thus animated by a lofty pur¬
pose and with a perpetual succession may well review her annals and mark
the stages of growth to the meridian of a century, and may well invite public
judgment to the spirit and object of her existence.

ZETA PSI
The Zeta Psi Fraternity was founded in 1847 at the University of the City
' of New York, by John B. Yates Somers, John M. Skiliman, and William
Henry Dayton, of the Class of 1849. Intimately associated with them was
Rev. Wm. Henry Carter, D. D., who is still living. Through the energy of its
founders and its new members, chapters were rapidly organized, sixteen chap¬
ters being established during the following decade in the leading Eastern col¬
leges. A chapter was also established at the University of Michigan, which
continued for many years to be the only chapter in the West.
The Phi Chapter, at the University of New York, has had a successful
career since it was founded in 1847, except for a brief period (1879 to 1881)
during the financial difficulties of the university. The Zeta, established at
Williams College in 1848, existed in spite of the anti-secret society regulations
of the college for seven years. It was re-established in 1881, and is now one
of the most flourishing chapters. The Delta (Rutgers College, 1848) has
enjoyed an uninterrupted and most successful existence to the present day.
The Omicron (Princeton, 1850) maintained an unequal struggle against the
opposition of the faculty for over thirty years. Not being permitted to have a
lodge, it was compelled to initiate its members at the Delta and Sigma chap¬
ters. The Sigma (University of Pennsylvania, 1850) has maintained its most
prosperous existence without a break. The Chi was established at Colby Uni¬
versity, Maine, in 1850. The Epsilon, at Brown University, and the Rho, at
Harvard, were established in 1852. The Epsilon has always been and is today
one of the best chapters. The Rho, after a brilliant existence of six years,
succumbed to the opposition of the faculty. It was re-established in 1881.
The Psi (Dartmouth, 1853) flourished until the outbreak of the rebellion. An
attempt was made to revive the chapter in 1871, but the restrictions of the
115
college regulations prevented this. The Kappa (Tufts College. Mass., 1855)
has existed without interruptions. The Theta (Union, 1856). after a successful
existence of over ten years, declined with the decline of the college. Its char¬
ter was taken away in 1871. The Tau (Lafayette College. 1857) is another
chapter whose prosperity has not been interrupted since it was established.
The Upsilon (University of North Carolina, 1858) successfully maintained
itself through the years of the rebellion and is highly prosperous today. The
Xi (University of Michigan, 1858) was the pioneer chapter in the West. It is
today one of the best chapters.
No other chapters were established until 1864, when a number of graduate
members residing in Chicago received a charter for the Omega Chapter at the
old Chicago University, It was very successful for many years. Anticipating
the closing of the old university, the chapter was discontinued in 1883. Steps
are now being taken to re-establish the chapter at the new university. The Pi
(Rensselaer Polytechnic, Troy, 1865) had a most successful career until the
decline of this college called for the withdrawal of the charter in 1890. The
Lambda (Bowdoin) and the Beta (University of Virginia) were established in
1868, and still flourish. The Psi (Cornell) has been ever since its establish¬
ment one of the leading chapters. The Iota Chapter was established at the
University of California in 1870, and was for many years the only college fra¬
ternity on the Pacific Coast. The charter of the Gamma Chapter (University
of Syracuse. 1875) was withdrawn after a few years had shown that this col¬
lege was not a desirable place for a chapter.
A most decided and unprecedented innovation in fraternity affairs was the
establishment of the Theta Xi Chapter at the University of Toronto in 1879.
This was followed by the Alpha Psi Chapter at McGill College, Montreal, in
1883. These chapters have reflected the greatest credit on the fraternity.
They are the only chapters of any fraternity in Canada.
In 1879 the Alpha Chapter was established at Columbia University. In
1885 the Nu Chapter, at the Case School of Applied Sciences at Cleveland,
Ohio. In 1889 the Eta Chapter was established at Yale. Although the fra¬
ternity system at Yale is peculiar to that college, and in many respects differs
from the character of Zeta Psi, the Eta Chapter has been most successful.
The last in the galaxy of chapters is the Mu, established in 1891 at the
Leland Stanford, Jr., University, California. It has been a success from the
start.

umet Avenue.
The chief characteristic of the Zeta Psi is its secrecy and the close com¬
panionship of its members. It maintains a greater degree of secrecy about its
affairs than almost any other college fraternity. For many years it has been
very conservative in granting new charters, having decided to establish chap¬
ters only in the best universities. The number of active members allowed in
a ehapter at any one time is limited, its aim being to create intimate friend¬
ships.
The Zeta Psi Club in New York City was established by graduate mem¬
bers in 1883. It has a most commodious club house at 148 West 34th street,
There are alumni associations in New York, Chicago, Boston. Washington,
San Francisco, St. Louis, Cleveland and other cities.
Many of the chapters maintain chapter houses for its active members,
with council hall and rooms for its secret work. The chapter house at Cornell
is admitted to be one of the finest, if not the finest, in the United States.
The fraternity is governed by its Grand Chapter, consisting of delegates
from the active chapters, and the members who have attained its highest
degree. Its meetings are held annually.
The fraternity has issued complete catalogues in 1859, 1867 and 1883, and
supplements in 1874 and 1889. A biographical catalogue is now being pub¬
lished. At the semi-centennial in 1897, it issued one of the finest song books
ever published by any fraternity. A magazine, devoted to the fraternity, was
first published in 1882 as a monthly, and subsequently changed to a quarterly.
Its publication was suspended in 1886.
The Badge is a monogram of the two Greek letters " Zeta " and " Psi,"
the " Zeta " being imposed upon the " Psi." The " Zeta " is set with twenty-
one stones.
The color of the fraternity is white ; each chapter having a distinctive
color.
Active chapters are at : University of New York. Williams College, Rut¬
gers College, University of Pennsylvania, Colby University, Brown Uni¬
versity, Tufts College, Lafayette College, University of North Carolina, Uni¬
versity of Michigan, Bowdoin College, University of Virginia, Cornell Uni¬

DELTA PSI
P^ELTA PSI was established at Columbia College, January, 1847. Charles
A. Budd and John H. Anton were its founders. A chapter was founded
at New York University almost simultaneously with Alpha Chapter at Colum¬
bia, although it was regarded more as a branch of the Columbia Chapter than
as a separate institution.
Fifteen chapters were established at various institutions during the first ten
years of the fraternity's existence, several of these being established in the
South, but becoming inactive during the war. At the present time active
chapters are in existence at the following colleges : Columbia, University of
Rochester, Williams, University of Pennsylvania, University of Mississippi.
University of Virginia, Yale Sheffield Scientific, and Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.
All of these chapters own houses and are in good condition, holding the
standard of membership high.
The graduate members of the fraternity have formed a social club, known
as St. Anthony Club, in New York, and alumni associations in Philadelphia
and Boston.
Catalogues of the fraternity have been published in 1876 and 1898. The
last book was a very handsome volume, bound in light blue, the color of the
fraternity.
The badge is a St. Anthony's cross with the sides curving inward, upon
which is a shield with the Greek letters Delta Psi.
The fraternity has np honorary members.
The total membership of the fraternity is about 2,500.

THETA DELTA CHI
' I 'HE Theta Delta Chi Fraternity was founded at Union College in 1848.
* The founders were, Akin, Beach. Brown, Green, Hyslop and Wile, class
of 1849. Hon. Allen C. Beach, Ex-Lieutenant Governor of New York, and
General William S. Hillyer of General Grant's Staff were Theta Delts from
same class. For twenty years the Alpha Charge governed the Fraternity,
granting charters and exercising the usual functions of the parent chapter.
The original badge was a shield differing but slightly from the present
official badge seen in accompanying cut. Badges are now worn in three sizes.
The Fraternity colors are black, white and blue.
The Theta Delta Chi flag consists of a field divided vertically into black,
white and blue sections, black next the staff with letters Theta Delta Chi respec¬
tively in center of each section.
The Convention of 1868 changed the governing power from the Alpha
charge to a body called "The Grand Lodge," composed of one graduate and
two active members, to be elected each year in convention assembled. This
body acts under a constitution and such rulings as may be noted in convention
or by charges. The fraternity has published four catalogues, the last in 1895
shows 2968 living and 407 deceased members, with a geographical distribution
covering almost the entire globe.
Two song books have been published.
The official organ is "The Shield," edited and published by Clay W
Holmes, Elmira. N. Y. It was founded in 1869, revised in 1884. It is pub¬
lished quarterly in the interests of the fraternity. Mr. Holmes has had the
magazine since 1889 and during that time it has held its place in the front rank
of Fraternity publications.
Theta Delta Chi is essentially an eastern organization. Since 1889, how¬
ever, charges have been established in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin
123
Universities, an eminently satisfactory departure even for this conservative
Fraternity.
Theta Delta Chi celebrated its Semi-Centennial in New York City in Feb¬
ruary 1898. The occassion was a notable one. Hotel Windsor was crowded
with Theta Delts. Many graduate members, representing every profession
and business in which college men are wont to engage, were in attendance.
Notable among these were Abel Beach and Andrew H. Green, the two surviv¬
ing founders. A host of under-graduates were present, several charges attending
in a body. What Theta Delta Chi is and what it has accomplished were faith¬
fully portrayed in this celebration. Fraternity enthusiasm was at high pitch
during the three days's session, reaching its culmination on the last day when
the following programme was given :
Oration, Elmer H. Capen, D. D., Pres. Tufts College. Poem, Rev.
Cameron Mann. History—First Period, Col. William L. Stone ; Second
Period, Prof. Duncan C. Lee.
Three hundred plates were laid for the banquet, with Mahlon N. Gilbert
D. D., Bishop of Minnesota, as Master of the Feast. Clay W. Holmes, editor
of "The Shield." was the moving spirit of the celebration and Chairman of
Semi-Centennial Committee.
The Central Graduate Association was formed in 1890. Among its mem¬
bers are these well-known Chicagoans : Hon. John M.Clark: George P.
Upton, The Tribune ; Col. P. D. Vroom, U. S. A.; Robert Forsythe, Illinois
Steel Co.; William A. Douglas, Dun 8c Co.; B. J. Wertheimer, Lawyer; W.
T. Chandler, Franklin McVeagh 8c Co.; Dr. Truman W. Miller ; Prof. Charles
W. French, Hyde Park High School ; Charles Raymond, Evanston.

PHI GAMMA DELTA
THIS fraternity was founded at Jefferson College, Cannonsburg. Pa., in
May, 1848. The charter members were John C. McCarthy, '48: James
Elliott, '48: D. W. Crofts, '48; S. B. Wilson, '48; E. B. Gregg, '48, and
Naaman Fletcher, '49, to which number was added in a few days the name of
one of Chicago's most respected and prominent attorneys, Benjamin Ray,'49.
As many of the students of Jefferson College were from the Southern
States, the first efforts at extension were very naturally in that direction. The
growth of the fraternity has been gradual since its establishment, and it has
ever maintained that conservatism in the choice of colleges into which it
should enter, that has given it the present strength and standing in fraternity
circles. The roster of its chapter roll will be seen on another page.
The chapter first established at Jefferson maintained a strong and promi¬
nent position in college circles as long as the college existed. When it was
united with Washington College the chapters in each institution also consoli¬
dated, and the resulting chapter was called the Alpha Chapter, and the Beta
letter was given to another college.
The war was fatal to the splendid prospects of many a promising young
man, and it was not less so in the matter of promising chapters of many col¬
lege fraternities. The ante helium career of many of our Southern chapters is
even yet an enviable record.
The days of the cruel war being over, a new plan of extension was
adopted, and the infusion of Northern blood attempted. While the fraternity
was not strictly speaking a Southern organization, yet the circumstances and
environment surrounding its infant days had made it that perforce of training,
and as said above, its early extension was Southward. The first effort to
129
locate a chapter with strictly Northern propensities, was made at DePauw Uni¬
versity, in the establishment of Lambda Chapter. This new era in the fra¬
ternity life proved to be a most propitious one, for the history of the chapter
has been almost an uninterruptedly creditable one, since the day of its found¬
ing. Its roster contains many names of prominence in circles of intelligence.
In several states there is a state organization of the chapters, holding meet¬
ings at least once annually. Such exist in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illi¬
nois, Virginia, and New York and vicinity. These are well calculated to both
keep up an inter-fraternity spirit, and as well to bring the members of the
different chapters into closer relations and to establish more uniform ideas as
to the general conduct of chapter life.
Graduate associations exist at New York City, Columbus, Ohio; Kansas
City, Spokane, Washington, Chicago, Chattanooga, Williamsport. Penn.;
Dayton, Ohio; Baltimore, San Francisco; Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Rich¬
mond and Roanoke, Va.
The convention meets annually in the fall, and the state organizations in
New England, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana hold district meetings for social
rather than business purposes in the spring.
The Alpha chapter acted as the executive body until 1868. The idea of a
grand chapter was then conceived and located in New York City, where it has
since remained. Its members are elected annually and are chosen from the
alumni residing in the vicinity of the city.
The latest catalogue of the fraternity was published at New York in 1888.
Previous to this edition catalogues were issued in 1878, 1870, 1865 and 1864.
A new catalogue will be published in 1898, which has been some years in
preparation and promises to be very complete.
The last song book was issued in 1886, by the composer, Walter C. Stier.
Another song book is about to be published, compiled by the same author.
The journal of the fraternity was first issued as a monthly in 1879, under
the auspices of the Ohio Wesleyan chapter, and was called Phi Gamma Delta.
It was a quarto in form. In 1884 it was removed to Greencastle, Ind., and
reduced in size to an 8 vo. Here it remained for two years, when in 1886 it
was removed to New York, and the name was changed to the Phi Gamma
Delta Quarterly. In the spring of 1889, its publication was placed under the
direction of the chapter at Meadville, Pa., and in 1890 in the hands of gradu¬
ates, with Fred C. Howe as editor-in-chief, by whom it has since been most
130

creditably and ably conducted. Its present place of publication is Cleveland,
Ohio.
The Badge of the fraternity is a diamond having a black field. It is about
an inch in length, displaying the Greek letters "Phi Gamma Delta," above
which is a single white star, and below are the Greek letters "Alpha Omega
Mu Eta." The fraternity color is royal purple, and the flower is the heliotrope.
The flag is pennant-shaped, bearing the Greek letters " Phi Gamma Delta "
across the face of the flag, upon a white background. In the upper left-hand
corner is a purple square, containing a single white star.
Among the prominent members of the fraternity might be mentioned
seven United States senators, twenty-seven congressmen, several foreign
ministers, several governors, twelve college presidents and a large number of
college professors of note in various lines ; no less than ten prominent litera-
teurs acknowledge allegiance to Phi Gamma Delta ; several of her members
are prominent in journalistic fields. All these, let it be noted, are regularly
initiated, and in no case honorary members.
The chapter roll is as follows : Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Amherst,
Yale, Trinity, College City New York, Columbia, University City of New
York, Colgate, Cornell, Union, University of Pennsylvania, Lafayette, Lehigh,
Bucknell, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania State, Johns-Hopkins, University of
North Carolina, University of Virginia, Roanoke, Hampden-Sidney, Wash¬
ington and Lee, Richmond, Washington and Jefferson, Allegheny, Wittenberg,
Ohio Wesleyan, Denison, Ohio State, Wooster, Indiana, DePauw, Hanover,
Wabash, University of Tennessee, Bethel, Illinois Wesleyan, Knox, University
of Illinois, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, University of
Kansas, William Jewell, University of California, Leland Stanford Jr,
The Chicago alumni association of Phi Gamma Delta is known to the
fraternity as Kappa Graduate Chapter. It was organized in 1890, since which
time it has been a most active organization. For its first two years it rented
capacious apartments in one of the large office buildings, which were used as
general headquarters. This was abandoned, however, shortly before the
World's Fair, and a three-story apartment building on 61st street, near Jack¬
son Park, was leased. This became the Phi Gamma Delta headquarters dur¬
ing the World's Fair. During those memorable six months Kappa Graduate
Chapter entertained their visiting brothers with several banquets given within
the Fair Grounds.
131
In 1894 the idea of a noon-day dining room was conceived. This was
maintained for two years on the second floor of the Saratoga Hotel, when the
hotel was rebuilt. Since that time regular monthly dinners have been held,
and banquets have been enjoyed quarterly. Some steps have been taken
towards maintaining regular club rooms on a more elaborate scale, but this
scheme at present is only developing out of the possibility into the probability.
The object of Kappa Graduate Chapter is to unite for social relationship,
and make for themselves a body of friends that will endure, and to further lend
a potent and useful influence upon the active chapters of the fraternity.
By holding to their fraternity affiliations, the old must always remain
young, and the little lozenge badge bears a significance that was prominent
when in college days they sang :
" Phi Gamma Delta, still to thee
Our hearts we'll turn eternally."

PHI DELTA THETA
T HE Phi Delta Theta Fraternity was founded December 26, 1848, at Miami
* University, Oxford, Ohio. The founders were six students, two in each
of the three upper classes, viz.: Robert Morrison, '49; John McMillan Wil¬
son, '49; Robert Thompson Drake, '50; John Wolfe Lindley, '50; Ardivan
Walker Rodgers, '51 ; Andrew Watts Rogers, '51. Of these, Morrison, Lind¬
ley and Rogers are yet living. Morrison and Wilson were joint authors of
"The Bond of the Phi Delta Theta," which is the fundamental law of the
fraternity.
Phi Delta Theta now has sixty-five chapters in leading institutions, from
Maine to California and from Michigan to Texas, making the fraternity
national in extent. Since 1883, Phi Delta Theta has had a larger number of
active college chapters than any other fraternity. Phi Delta Theta is estab¬
lished in twenty state universities. No other fraternity is represented in so
many. In addition, five other institutions having Phi Delta Theta chapters
receive state or federal support, or both. During the last decade few additions
to the chapter roll have been accepted, and the policy of the fraternity has
been in the direction of rendering old chapters more secure in their surround¬
ings and increasing their property interests. A large number of chapters live
in chapter houses, and in many cases own them, while other chapters are
acquiring building funds.
The Illinois Alpha Chapter was established at Northwestern University,
Evanston, in 1859, and was reorganized in 1887. The Illinois Beta Chapter
was established at the University of Chicago in 1865, and was reorganized in
1897.
The membership of the fraternity is 9,634. The number of living mem¬
bers of Phi Delta Theta is larger than that of any other college fraternity, with
two exceptions, being but slightly exceeded by them.
137
The first alumni chapter was established in 1Ô76, and now there are
thirty-six such chapters in various cities, a larger number than any other fra¬
ternity has. The Chicago alumni chapter was established in 1881; Alumni
chapters have the privilege of being represented in the national convention,
which meets bi-ennially, but not of making initiations. The convention of
1889 established Alumni Day, which is celebrated on the fifteenth day of
March, the birthday of Rev. Robert Morrison, D. D , who was one of the
founders. On that day every year, it is customary for each alumni chapter to
have a social and business meeting, a dinner and a discussion of some topic of
fraternity interest chosen by the general council. The members of college
chapters wear the colors and celebrate the occasion with ritualistic exercises,
to which all resident alumni are invited. Phi Delta Theta was the first fra¬
ternity to establish such a custom.
In 1881 the fraternity was incorporated under the laws of Ohio.
Six editions of the fraternity catalogue have been issued, in 1860, 1870,
1872, 1878, 1883 and 1894, the last being a handsome royal octavo volume of
475 pages. Five editions of the fraternity song book have been issued, in
1874, 1876, 1882, 1886 and 1895, the last containing eighty-seven songs, many
of which have been set to original music. Eight or ten pieces of sheet music
inscribed to Phi Delta Theta have been published. Two editions of the fra¬
ternity manual, which contains a succinct history of Phi Delta Theta, have
been issued in 1886 and 1897, The fraternity magazine, called "The Scroll
of Phi Delta Theta," was first issued in 1875. It is a bi-monthly, liberally
illustrated, the numbers averaging over 125 pages each. The " Palladium,"
a bi-monthly bulletin devoted to the private affairs of the fraternity, was
established in 1894.
The badge, consisting of a shield, with a scroll bearing the Greek letters
" Phi Delta Theta " in the lower part of the shield, and a radiated eye in the
upper part, was adopted in 1849. In 1865 an addition to it was made, con¬
sisting of a sword attached to the shield by a chain.
Argent aud azure were selected as fraternity colors in 1871.
The fraternity flag was adopted in 1891. It consists of three vertical
bars, the outer bars blue and the middle bar white, each of the outer bars
charged with the Greek letters " Phi Delta Theta," in blue, reading downward.
The fraternity flower, adopted in 1891, is the white carnation.
In 1891 Pallos was chosen as the tutelary deity of the fraternity.
138
The open motto, adopted in 1880, is, liberally interpreted, "We enjoy life
by the help and society of others."
The cheer, adopted in 1891, is " Rah 1 Rah! Rah! Phi-Kei-A! Phi Delta
Theta! Rah! Rah! Rah ! "
Phi Delta Theta has many distinguished alumni in Chicago, Illinois, and
neighboring states. Among them are : Ex-President Benjamin Harrison,

PHI KAPPA SIGMA
DHI KAPPA SIGMA Fraternity was founded at the University of Penn-
* sylvania in 1850 by Samuel Brown Wylie Mitchell, James B. Hodge,
Alfred Victor DuPont, Charles H. Hutchinson, John T. Stone, Duane Wil¬
liams and Andrew A. Ripka.
Dr. S. B. W. Mitchell, the prime mover in the organization of the fra¬
ternity. was a graduate in arts and medicine of the University of Pennsylvania.
He served with distinction during the civil war as surgeon and was breveted
Lieutenant-Colonel March 13, 1865, for gallant and meritorious services.
He was prominently connected with numerous fraternal and social organiza¬
tions. He died on August 16, 1879, that day being the fifty-first anniversary
of his birth and the twenty-ninth of the founding of the Phi Kappa Sigma Fra¬
ternity.
Phi Kappa Sigma started with an active but conservative policy of exten¬
sion and chapters were soon established in a number of the Pennsylvania and
Southern colleges and at Princeton and Columbia, At the commencement of
the civil war the fraternity had fifteen vigorous chapters in institutions of high
standing. The war closed all of the Southern colleges where the fraternity
had chapters and at its termination only five of the fifteen chapters were in
existence, though some of the others have since been revived. The chapter
at Columbia ranked high among the fraternities there but was so weakened by
the war that its charter was given up soon after. Beta Chapter, established
at Princeton in 1853, existed for many years sub rosa, but in 1876 it finally
145
succumbed to the anti-fraternity laws so long in force at that institution.
Alpha, the parent chapter, has flourished from the start, is influential at the
University of Pennsylvania, holds a high position socially in Philadelphia,
owns a chapter house and is especially strong in resident alumni,
In 1887, Alpha Chapter founded and presented to the trustees of the Uni¬
versity of Pennsylvania a prize, to be known as the " Prize established by the
Phi Kappa Sigma Farternity in honor of its founder, Samuel Brown Wylie
Mitchell." The acceptance of this prize was the first formal recognition by
the university authorities of any fraternity organization.
Most of the chapters of Phi Kappa Sigma are at Eastern and Southern
colleges; there is but one in the West, Upsilon Chapter, at Northwestern
University. This chapter was established in 1872, and has had a continuous
and prosperous existence since then. It has a strong alumni membership in
Evanston and Chicago and is well known among fraternity men of Western
colleges,
Three of the chapters have chapter houses, and there are alumni organi¬
zations in Philadelphia and Chicago. The officers of the Chicago alumni
chapter are : Frank B. Dyche, president; Dr. Frank Johnson, vice-president;
Charles S. Raddin, secretary; Louis S. Rice, treasurer.
A Register of Alpha Chapter was published in 1859. A Register of
Epsilon Chapter was published in 1860, The first general catalogue of the
fraternity was issued in 1872, an octavo of 136 pages; the second was issued
in 1882, of the same form, and of 193 pages; the third was issued in 1894, and
consisted of 256 pages. There have been some musical publications, also
various addresses delivered before the conventions have been published, as
well as the proceedings of the conventions, which have been printed for private
circulation only. With the ending of the century, the year 1900, the fraternity
will reach its semi-centennial, and a history is then to be issued.
The government of the fraternity has remained practically unchanged
since its foundation. It rests with the Grand Chapter, which is made up of
delegates from the different chapters, and meets annually. During the inter¬
vals between these meetings the power is delegated to the Executive Board,
consisting of ten members, elected by the Grand Chapter.
Phi Kappa Sigma does not elect honorary members,
The Badge is a maltese cross of gold with black enamel border, and with
the skull and cross bones displayed in the center. In the upper arm of the

cross is a six-pointed star and in the other arms are the Greek letters " Phi
Kappa Sigma," in black enamel.
The Flag is of black bunting, six feet by ten feet, the letters Phi Kappa
Sigma in old gold, sixteen inches in height, and their width in proportion,
extending horizontally along the center of the flag. Old gold skull and cross-
bones are in the upper left-hand corner (union), occupying a space two feet
square, and are ten inches from each edge. A five inch old gold border runs
around all four edges.
The fraternity colors are black and gold.

Jefferson College, Dickinson College, Franklin and Marshall College, Uni¬
versity of Virginia, Randolph-Macon College, Northwestern University. Rich¬

PHI KAPPI PSI
THE Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity was founded at Jefferson College, Pennsyl¬
vania, in February, 1852, by Charles P. T. Moore and W. H. Letterman.
At the time of its foundation, there was an epidemic of typhoid fever in the
college, and day after day those who were not prostrated by the disease sat at
the bedside of their afflicted friends administering to their wants. The warm
friendship formed in such trying times ripened into the fraternal sentiment,
which, coupled with the dissatisfaction with the two societies having local
chapters, led to the foundation of the fraternity.
During its early history, the fraternity extended rapidly, entering the best
institutions in Pennsylvania and Virginia. In later years the fraternity entered
Southern and Western institutions, and at present it has thirty-nine active
chapters, extending from California to New Hampshire, and from Minnesota
to Mississippi. In 1895 and 1896, chapters were established at Amherst and
Dartmouth Colleges, this being the first move of the fraternity into New Eng¬
land. The attitude of the fraternity at present in the matter of extension is
most conservative, and no new charters are granted except to institutions of
the highest standing.
The following is the present roll of active chapters : Washington and
Jefferson College, Allegheny College, Bucknell University, Gettysburg Col¬
lege, Dickinson College, Franklin and Marshall College, Lafayette College,
University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore College, Cornell, Syracuse Uni¬
versity, Columbia University. Colgate University, Brooklyn Polytechnic
Institute, Amherst College, Dartmouth College, University of Virginia, Wash¬
ington and Lee University, Hampden-Sidney College, University of West Vir¬
ginia, Johns Hopkins University, Columbian University, University of Missis¬
sippi, Ohio Wesleyan University, Wittenberg College, University of Ohio, De
Pauw University, University of Indiana, Wabash College, University of Mich¬
igan, Northwestern University, University of Chicago, University of Wiscon-
151
sin, Beloit College, University of Minnesota, University of Iowa, University of
Kansas, University of Nebraska, Leland Stanford Jr. University.
The following are the alumni associations: Philadelphia, Pittsburg.
Meadville, New York, Washington. Cleveland, Newark, 0.: Springfield, 0.;
Chicago, Kansas City, Twin City. Denver City, Bucyrus, O.; Indiana, Buffalo,
Louisville, Salt Lake City, Anderson, Ind.; Portland. Ore.; Los Angeles. San
Francisco.
The original system of government was by means of a Grand Arch Coun¬
cil, composed of three delegates from each chapter. The council met bi-enni-
ally, though for many years the meetings were held once in every three years.
One of the college chapters, called the Grand Chapter, was appointed to act as
executive during the recess of the Grand Arch Council. In 1886 a new system
was adopted. Its principal features being the continuance of the Grand Arch
Council to meet bi-ennially; the establishment of an Executive Council, com¬
posed of three alumni, who constitute the officers President, Secretary and
Treasurer, and four under-graduates ; the division of the fraternity into four
Districts, each to be presided over by an Archon : bi-ennial District Councilsr
and a re-arrangement of the financial and judicial systems of the fraternity.
The secretary is the chief executive officer, and, with the assistance of the
president and treasurer, practically has the control of matters under general
instructions given at the annual meetings of the council. The present officers
of the fraternity are, Hon. Walter L. McCorkle, of New York, president ;
Walter S. Holden, of Chicago, secretary, and George B. Baker, of Boston,
treasurer.
The Catalogue of the fraternity was first published at Philadelphia in 1860.
This has been three times revised, the last edition being published in 1894,
under the editorship of George Smart, of Cleveland, O., and contains many
of the best features of modern catalogues. A song book containing upwards
of one hundred and fifty purely fraternity songs, was published in 1893 by Rev.
Robert Lowry. A complete history of the fraternity is now in preparation.
The periodical of the fraternity was first called the Phi Kappa Psi Monthly
and was published during a part of the year 1875 at Baltimore. In 1879, the
fraternity began the publication of a monthly fraternity magazine called the
Shield. This has been published regularly ever since. It is under the man¬
agement of an editor who is elected at each Grand Arch Council. The present
editor is Wm. C. Gretzinger, of Lewisburg, Pa.

MICHIGAN CHAPTER HOUSE OF PHI KAPPA PSI
The fraternity is wide awake on the chapter house question, nine of its
chapters owning their own houses, which are conservatively valued at $100,-
000. Eleven other chapters occupy rented houses.
The present membership of the fraternity is 7.600.
The original Badge of the fraternity was a monogram of the Greek letters
Phi Kappa Psi. This was discarded in 1854 and the present style adopted.
The latter is a shield of gold, displaying near its top an eye, on each side of
which is a star. Across the center are the Greek letters Phi Kappa Psi. and
beneath is an antique lamp. The border is usually jeweled, The colors of the
fraternity are pink and lavender.
The convention of 1890, held in Chicago, adopted a fraternity yell : "High,
High. High, Phi Kappa Psi! Live Ever, Die Never, Phi Kappa Psi ! " of
which the Rev. Ernest M. Stires, rector of Grace Church, Chicago, is the
author.
The Chicago Alumni Association was chartered March 30, 1888, with
sixty-four charter members. The object of the association is social intercourse
and the keeping alive of interest in the fraternity. Each year a formal banquet
is held at one of the leading hotels, and during the year the members often get
together informally for supper, or for noonday lunch. The alumni frequently
are entertained by the chapters at Northwestern and Chicago Universities.
The presidents of the alumni association have been Hon. Jacob R. Custer,
Robbins S. Mott, A. R. Townsend, Hon. E. C. Moderwell, Rev. Frank M.
Gregg, Judge Edmund Burke, Rev. Ernest M. Stires. The present officers
are, G. Fred Rush, president; Louis Sass, secretary, and W. M. Butterworth,
treasurer.

CHI PHI
THE Greek Letter Fraternity Chi Phi as it now exists was formed by the
union of three distinct orders bearing that name, each founded sepa¬
rately and without knowledge of the others, finally combined into a unit to
secure the strength and influence sought by every Greek letter society and so
well achieved by Chi Phi.
In the year of 1854 there was found at Princeton College the constitution
of a Greek letter society bearing the date 1824. and having incorporated in its
motto the Greek letters Chi Phi. The students making the discovery resolved
to revive the old society and in December, 1854, organized the Princeton
Chapter of this now great brotherhood. By untiring activity they constructed
two more chapters at other colleges, although the original chapter finally suc¬
cumbed to the repeated attacks of the Princeton authorities, always antag¬
onistic to secret societies.
In the mean time a society had been founded at Hobart College by twelve
men who bound themselves in a brotherhood of ideal principles and adopted
an emblem identical to the one now worn by all members of the Chi Phi Fra¬
ternity.
This nucleus soon expanded into a power, founding chapters at three other
colleges, among them one at Rutgers. Until 1865 these two orders flourished
without knowledge of each other's existence. The discovery being made dur¬
ing that year by the accidental meeting of members of the two organizations,
an intimacy arose which resulted in a consolidation of the two into one order.
Then began a period of great activity, resulting in the organization of several
new chapters and the publication of the Chi Phi Chackett, the pioneer of
Creek letter society literature.
While this work was progressing in the North, college men in the South
were by no means idle, for in 1858-59 there were established ten Greek letter
societies at the University of North Carolina. Among these was a club named
Chi Phi, which during a period of two years founded five other chapters. The
civil war, however, was a terrible set-back, only one chapter (the mother) sur¬
viving, and the active membership of that one was greatly reduced by the call
t6i
to arms. After the c/ose of the war tne surviving members pluckily went to
work, recovered the constitution and charter, which had been buried at the
time of Sherman's march to the sea, and rebuilt the organization, meeting
with such success that the several chapters formed became a power in the
college social world.
Shortly after the war the Northern and Southern orders were mutually
astonished to learn of each other's existence, and a plan of consolidation
between the Northern Hobart order and the Southern brotherhood wss imme¬
diately set on foot. Owing to the sectional difference so strongly feit for a
few years after the war, the scheme was not consummated for several years. In
the mean time the Princeton and Hobart orders of the North were affiliated
and finally in March, 1874, a committee composed of three members from the
combined Northern organization and three from the Southern fraternity met
at Washington, D. C., and adopted a constitution and by-laws for the united
order and setting a date for the first convention, which was held in Washington,
July 23, 1874.
A period of prosperity and success followed, and many applications for
charters to form new chapters were received. A conservative policy was
strictly followed, resulting in several strong chapters being organized in lead¬
ing colleges.
In 1885, the chapter at Amherst College dedicated its chapter house, the
first owned by any chapter of the fraternity. Since that time nearly all the
others have followed the example of Amherst, notably among them being
Cornell and Yale, the latter chapter boasting the finest college house in New
Haven and probably in the country.
As Chi Phi now stands, it ranks among the strongest and most influential
Greek letter fraternities, having twenty active chapters and showing a roll of
over thirty-five hundred members, among whom are numbered many men
prominent in the professional, political and business world.
Active chapters are at the University of Virginia. Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, Emory College, Rutgers College, Hampden-Sidney College,
Franklin and Marshall College, University of Georgia, Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute, Ohio State University, University of California, Stevens Institute of
Technology, University of Texas. Cornell University, Yale University. Van-

TWO AMHERST CHI PHIS
HUBERT M. MESSINGER ALLAN P. DURGIN
SIGMA CHI
\17HEN the first chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity was established at
* * the old Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, June 20th, 1855. the State of
Ohio was distinctly " Western " and Sigma Chi was a frontier institution.
The brotherhood has grown with the region in which it was born and it is not
surprising that the greatest numerical strength is found in the middle
western states. For many years, however, the policy of judicious extension
has governed the Fraternity and Sigma Chi now claims to be national rather
than sectional. Isaac Jordan, Ben P. Runkle, Frank H. Scobey, Daniel W.
Cooper, Thomas C. Bell and William L. Lockwood were the founders of
Sigma Chi. These six men seceded from Delta Kappa Epsilon. There had
been twelve men in the " Deke " Chapter. Six wanted one kind of a chapter
and six wanted another kind of a chapter, and the result was a deadlock. There
was an aggravated case of incompatability of temper. After several stormy
meetings, the bone of contention being some issue in college politics, the six took
absolute divorce from the half-dozen and the Sigma Chi came into existence. At
that time Miami was pre-eminent, not only in Ohio, but as compared with other
western colleges. The student body showed a high average of ability. There¬
fore Sigma Chi was happily situated and the founders began their work with
fighting enthusiasm.
The rivalry between the Fraternities was intense. No less than eighteen
chapters had been established at Miami when Sigma Chi entered the list.
The condensed platform of the new brotherhood was, the basis of all fraternal
association must be good fellowship and congeniality—a real kindred of souls.
The Chapter made its way and prepared for immediate extension.
The Order was first called Sigma Phi. In 1856 the constitution and pri¬
vate records of the Chapter were stolen by the enterprising enemy, and so the
name was changed and a new constitution and ritual were adopted. The Alpha
165
Chapter surrendered its charter in 1858, not being able to get the kind of
members it needed, and the authority then passed to the Gamma Chapter of Ohio
Wesleyan University, by reason of its seniority. It continued to administer the
affairs of the Fraternity until 1882 when a grand council of graduate members
was made the executive head of the Fraternity, with headquarters at Chicago.
The story of the Fraternity's gradual extension from state to state can
best be understood from a running glance at the list of Chapters. With every
other college brother it encountered heavy reverses during the war. It has
the unique distincton of being the only Fraternity which had a chapter at the
front in a brigade of the Confederate Army. It was called " Constantine
Chapter" and was organized by southern members for the purpose of per¬
petuating Sigma Chi in the South. The meetings were held in camp and all
the participants were soldiers in service.
The Fraternity published a preliminary catalogue in 1872 and a complete
catalogue in 1876. The new edition, issued in 1890. was a large and preten¬
tious volume, bountifully illustrated and containing the best features of modern
catalogues. A song book was published in 1884 by the Beta and a new
edition, very much enlarged, has lately come from the press. Every loyal
" Sig " naturally believes that this is the best Fraternity song book yet pub¬
lished. The journal of the Fraternity is called The Sigma Chi Quarterly. It
was first issued by Theta Chapter in 1881. Two years later it passed to the
hands of an editor chosen by the general Fraternity. It is published at
Chicago and the members confidently believe that it ranks high among frater¬
nity magazines. In 1887 the Sigmi Chi began the publication of a secret
monthly journal called " The Bulletin," mailed under seal to active members
and subscribers, and devoted to the internal affairs of the Order. This novel
publication has proved popular and is of great help in the administration of
business.

SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON
'The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity was founded at the University of
1 Alabama. March 9, 1856, the founders and first charter members being
Noble Leslie De Notie, Wade Foster, J.W. Kerr, Nathan E. Cockrell, John
B. Randolph, Samuel M. Dennis and Abner E. Patton. All of these founders
are now deceased except Randolph and Kerr, who are both octogenarians,
yet still loyal and young in fraternity spirit.
For a time, in the early history of the fraternity, its extension was confined
largely to the Southern schools, and to such a degree, in fact, was this true
that for a number of years it was known as a Southern institution. Gradually
progress was made East and North until now it is well represented at the larg¬
est schools all over the country, Its enterprise has given it a place among the
strongest of Greek letter organizations.
The D. C. P. Chapter at Columbian University, chartered during the third
year of the fraternity's existence, was the only chapter to survive the civil
war. No chapters had been established during the period of war, and not
until 1866 was extension attempted, when Mississippi Upsilon, at the University
of Mississippi, was granted a charter, and the fraternity began a system of
rapid but conservative extension, charters being granted only to the strongest
and best institutions of learning.
President McKinley wears the little diamond-shaped pin of the fraternity,
bearing the insignia of the Lion and the Goddess of Liberty, under which is
inscribed the initia s of the " frat." " S. A. E." He has always taken an active
interest in the fraternity, delivering the address at the laying of the corner
stone of the S. A. E. chapter house at Ann Arbor.
Among the other prominent alumni are Ex-Congressman W. L. Wilson,
Hon. John G. Carlisle and Gov. Atchinson of Georgia.
177
The S. A. E. alumni are numerous in Chicago, and have a strong alumni
association, which meets every quarter for its regular banquet. The Evanston
Chapter, being the nearest active branch, frequently attend. Harry S. Bunt¬
ing, E. C. Nichols, Dr. Chas. W. Heywood, Chas. H. Osborn, W. K. Carlisle
and H. W. Wallace are among the older members and former officers of
the Chicago Association.
The present officers are; President, Dr. Walter G. Gray; vice-president,
Wm. E. Sheller ; treasurer, Harvey Yeaman; secretary, Chester A. Grover.
Strong alumni associations of the fraternity also exist at New York City,
Boston, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Savannah, Pittsburgh, Augusta (Ga.), Alliance
(O.), Chattanooga (Tenn.), Kansas City, Jackson (Miss.), Cleveland (Ohio),
Detroit and Freeport (111.)
The colors of the fraternity are purple and old gold, changed from royal
purple in 1883.
The present membership is approximately 4,000.
Following is the list of the active chapters : Boston University, Massa¬
chusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Leland Stanford Jr.
University. Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Trinity College, Columbia Uni¬
versity, St. Stephen's College, Allegheny College, Dickinson College, Penn¬

DELTA TAU DELTA
THIS Fraternity was organized during the fall of 1859, but all data being
lost at the time of the Civil War, and it being impossible to fix the date
exactly, January, 1860, has been officially recognized as the date of its founding.
The first form of government was naturally under-graduate, one chapter
governing the rest under the name of Alpha ; there were four such chapters
from the founding until 1884, when the present form of government was
adopted; they were, the Mother Chapter at Bethany, the Second Mother at
Jefferson, now Washington and Jefferson, Ohio Wesleyan and Allegheny.
The National Convention of 1873 divided the Fraternity geographically into
four sections, each with a presiding chapter, for the purpose of assisting the
Alpha in the administration of the affairs of the Fraternity. The same idea is
still found in the machinery of Delta Tau Delta though the presiding chapters
have been abolished.
The Convention of 1884 legislated out of existence under-graduate govern¬
ment, and elected a committee consisting of five Alumni and the Presidents of
the four Provinces, in whose hands was placed the duty of administrating the
affairs of the Fraternity, in many points absolutely, in others during the
interim between the Biennial Conventions.
In 1884 the W. W. W., or Rainbow Fraternity united with the Delta Tau
Delta, the former being a society limited strictly to the Southern States, organ¬
ized in 1848 and with an excellent membership.
Since the ten first years of the Fraternity's life, the election of honorary
members has been forbidden, and since that time every man who has the
right to wear the badge, received that right while a college student.
Delta Tau Delta first of all fraternities prohibited the initiation of sub-
freshmen ; for years it stood alone in prohibiting lifting, by making any man
who joined another fraternity ineligible to membership in its ranks, and even
today it has but little company on this point ; while some years ago it passed
legislation against class societies.
iSI
Up to the union with Rainbow, the colors of the Fraternity were purple
and Gold, since that occurrence white has been inserted between the other two.
The official organ is " The Rainbow," which has been published continuously
since 1877, first under the title of "The Crescent," then under the present
name. Six catalogues have been published, the latest in June 1897, and the
Song Book was published about 1884.
The growth of Delta Tau Delta has been marked by the withdrawal as well
as the granting of charters, and Chapters are now in existence in the following
Institutions. The State Universities of Mississippi. Georgia. Virginia. Iowa.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Nebraska, Illinois, California. Ohio, Michi¬
gan, Indiana, Pennsylvania; the Universities of Brown, Cornell, Lehigh, De
Pauw, Indianapolis, Ohio Wesleyan, Ohio, Northwestern, Chicago, Leland
Stanford, Jr., Tulane, University of the South, Washington and Lee. Vanderbilt;
Emory College, Albion, Allegheny, Hillsdale, Wabash, Washington and Jef¬
ferson, Tufts, Adelbert, Kenyon, Stevens Institute. Rensselaer, and Massachu¬
setts Institute of Technology.
The Chicago Alumni Association of Delta Tau Delta is one of the oldest
in the city, it having been chartered in February 1880. There are about one
hundred and fifty members living in the city, of whom about fifty are active
members of the Association, as according to its rules only those are active
who pay its annual dues.
Eight meetings or informal suppers are held during the fall, winter and
spring months of the year, on the last Friday evening of the month, they have
mostly been held at the Athletic Club. The formal Annual Dinner is held on
the Friday evening in February nearest to Washington's Birthday.

ALPHA TAU OMEGA
pVOWN on the Blue James River," is a favorite song with the members
of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity, because it refers to the fact that
the brotherhood was born at Richmond, Va., on September 11, 1865. The
founders were Rev. Otis Allan Glazebrook, still prominent in the Episcopal
Church, with which he is connected at Elizabeth, N. J.; Capt. Alfred Marshall,
who died of yellow fever at Mobile, Ala., in 1870, and Judge Erskine Mayo
Ross, prominent in the legal profession of the West, and now Judge of the U.
S. Circuit Court of California.
For some years the fraternity membership was confined to the South, but
in 1881 a chapter was founded at the University of Pennsylvania, which is still
active, and at present the list of chapters comprises Alabama A. and M. College,
Southern University, University of Alabama, University of Georgia, Emory
College, Mercer University, School of Technology, at Atlanta; University of
Illinois. Rose Polytechnic Institute, Tulane University, Tufts College, State
College, Maine; Colby University, Adrian College, Hillsdale College, Albion
College, University of Nebraska, University of North Carolina, Trinity College,
St. Lawrence University, Cornell University, Mt. Union College, Wittenberg
College, Wesleyan University, Marietta College, Ohio State University,
Muhlenburg College, Lehigh University, Pennsylvania College, University of
Pennsylvania, Brown University, Southwestern Presbyterian University, Van-
derbilt University, Southwestern Baptist University, Cumberland University,
University of the South, Austin College, University of Texas, University of
Vermont, Washington and Lee University, University of Virginia. The total
number is forty-two.
In addition to these there are state alumni associations in active existence
in Alabama, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, District of Columbia, New York,
189
Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas. And there are thriving city alumni asso¬
ciations at Allentown, Pa., Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, New
York, Pittsburg, Atlanta.
The chief executive officer of the fraternity is the Worthy Grand Chief,
and the present incumbent is Dr. Larkin W. Glazebrook, of Washington, D.
C., a son of one of the founders. Bi-ennial congresses are held, to which
chapters and alumni associations send delegates. The congress is the legis¬
lative body of the fraternity, and in the intervals between congress its powers
are exercised by the high council, which consists of five prominent alumni,
the present chairman being E. J. Shives, A. M., of Sandusky, O.
The fraternity publications consist of a song book, catalogue and a quar¬
terly magazine, called the " Palm," which is published by Louis C. Ehle, of
Chicago.
According to the latest edition of the catalogue, published in 1897, the
total fraternity membership was then 4,134.
The fraternity Badge is a maltese cross, with the Greek letters reading up
and down, "Alpha Tau Omega," and the same from right to left, the " Tau "
being in the center. The arms of the cross and the center, on which the let¬
ters appear, are in black enamel, with border of gold. The center also bears
a gold crescent and three gold stars. The edges are frequently beveled and
the badge heavily jeweled.
The fraternity flower is the white tea rose, and the fraternity colors are
blue, green, white and gold, and for general use, sky blue and old gold are
used.
A fraternity whistle was adopted at the last congress, but all the brothers
are not able to whistle it, and this ability is not a prerequisite of fraternity
membership.
The fraternity yell is, " Hip, Hurrah! Hip. Hurrah! Three Cheers for
Alpha Tau! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!"
Among the prominent Chicago Alpha Taus are Robert A. Waller, city
comptroller; F. C. Bryan, Chicago agent for the Norfolk & Western ; Victor
F. Lawson, of the Chicago Record ; Chauncey W. Martyn, attorney at law, of
the firm of Stillman & Martyn; Warren A. Drake, expert on handwriting;
Everett A. Thornton, with C. H. Mears & Co.; Walter S. Dole, superintendent
of People's Gas Light and Coke Co.; R. B. Daggett, manager of the Electric
Storage Battery Co., etc., etc. Louts C. Ehle.

KAPPA ALPHA
KAPPA ALPHA (Southern) was founded in the year 1865, at Washington
and Lee University. Its growth has been confined mostly to institutions
in the South, where it has a large number of prosperous chapters.
The fraternity stands well and its career has been marked by aggressive
activity. General conventions have been held annually since 1870.
Several catalogues have been issued and the journal of the fraternity is
published regularly.
The colors are red (cardinal) and gold.
No alumni association exists in Chicago, the local membership being
small on account of the purely Southern character of the fraternity. The
following are members in Chicago:
A. Rawson Waller, Pi chapter, University of Tennessee, class of '86,
occupation warehouseman, business address 2-18 Clark street, residence 356
Dearborn Avenue.
Edward Waller, Pi chapter, University of Tennessee, class of '87, occu¬
pation fire insurance, business address 170 La Salle street, residence 356

KAPPA SIGMA
'The Kappa Sigma Fraternity was founded in 1867 at the University of Vir-
* ginia, by George Miles Arnold, George Wyatt Hollingsworth, Edmund
Law Rogers, John Edward Ssmmes, John Covert Boyd and others. The
idea of the founders seemed to be to maintain a strictly local society, and con¬
sequently extension was not attempted till six years later, when the govern¬
ment of the parent chapter had passed out of the hands of the founders. Since
1873 the growth of Kappa Sigma has been rapid and extensive, its present
roster of forty-seven active chapters embracing a majority of the leading
institutions of the country. There are ten alumni chapters and four state
associations. Eleven of the active chapters occupy chapter houses, several of
which are owned by the fraternity.
Kappa Sigma maintains a hundred-page bi-monthly magazine. "The
Caduceus," which was established in 1885, and a bi-monthly secret publica¬
tion. " The Star and Crescent, '' for members only. Other publications of the
fraternity have been several catalogues, a directory, songs and musical com¬
positions,
The Badge is the star and crescent ; the colors, maroon, old gold and
peacock blue ; the flower, the lily of the valley.
The yell, "Rah, rah, rah, crescent and star; vive la, vive la. Kappa
Sigma."
The membership of Kappa Sigma is between three and four thousand.

and its membership of fifty comprises some of the leading business and pro¬
fessional men of the city. Its meetings are held quarterly, opening with a six
o'clock dinner at the Hotel Bismarck, and are looked forward to by the mem¬
bers with no small degree of interest.

SIGMA NU
ThE youngest of all the men's general college fraternities now in active
1 existence is Sigma Nu. This most youthful of the fraternity family
was founded on January 1, 1869, at the Virginia Military Institute, by Cadets
James F. Hopkins, of Mapleville. Ark.; J.W. Hopson, of Memphis, Tenn.;
Greenfield Quarles, of Helena, Ark.; J.W. Riley, of St. Louis. Mo., and R. E.
Semple, of Mississippi, three of whom, it will be observed, were Western
men, while the other two were Southern. Its formation was largely the result
of dissatisfaction with the unlimited and arbitrary control which the parent
chapter of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity, recently organized at the institute,
exercised upon the affairs of the latter. At the time of its organization, the
new order had no intention of extending itself beyond the walls of the Virginia
Military Institute. But before the next commencement it had been so success¬
ful—having initiated forty men and secured all the principal officers of the
Cadet Corps ; and had representatives in so many states, its forty members
hailing from forty different ones—that it determined upon a policy of extension.
Thereupon, a constitution, a badge, and fraternity signs and symbols were
adopted.
But for some years little real progress in extension was made. A number
of other chapters were founded, but in many instances the character of the
institution in which the chapter was placed prevented success. Some of the
institutions entered were small and insignificant, and very elementary in char¬
acter. One of them, for instance, was a little Asheville. N. C., law school,
which soon closed its doors. Other institutions had faculties which became
hostile to fraternities, and adopted such regulations that the chapters there
organized were crushed out of existence.
199
In other instances of these early chapters, the members themselves were
incapable of successfully carrying the obligations incident to membership in a
college fraternity. Some chapters were unable to cope with old and strong
rivals owning chapter houses. Others initiated so few men that a new collegi¬
ate year would begin with only one or two of them returned. One chapter was
founded not among college students at all, but among young men in the town
of Tarbora, N. C.; and of course it soon died. So ineffective and unsuccessful
was the early life of the Sigma Nu Fraternity that in 1883, fourteen years after
its foundation at the Virginia Military Institute, it had in active existence but
three of the nine chapters which had been founded, and had initiated but 300
persons.
In 1883, however, its struggle for existence became more successful. In
this year and the next succeeding year, 1884. there were organized six chapters,
five of which are to-day in active existence, and are among the strongest and
most stable chapters in the fraternity. Two of these five chapters are situated
in Kentucky, one at Central University, and the other at Bethel College. Two
others are in Georgia, one at Mercer University and the other at Emory
College. The fifth is in Kansas, at the Kansas State University.
In 1885, Lehigh University, Pennsylvania, was successfully entered. In
1886, there were established five more chapters, three of which are now living.
In 1887, one more was added, and, in 1888, four more. And so succeeding
years have seen the chapter roll and member list grow in size. On the 23rd of
Februa-iy, 1898, the date of the last authentic information furnished me. fifty-
three chapters in all had been established, of which number forty-one were
then living ; while the number of initiates had reached 2,869.
But the increase in the chapter roll is not the only improvement the
fraternity has undergone. It has shown a marked improvement in quality as
well. While many of the early chapters, and some few even of the recent
ones, have been placed in small and insignificant institutions of learning and
confined largely to the South, many of the later ones have been located at
institutions of prominence, size and influence in widely separated parts of the
country. The chapter roll now includes many of the largest and most influen¬
tial of the colleges of the middle West and West, such as the University of
Chicago, Northwestern University, Purdue University, Leland Stanford Jr.
University, and the University of California, as well as a few df the prominent
Eastern institutions, such as Lehigh University and the University of Vermont.
200
Active chapters are at Lehigh University, University of Vermont, Univer¬
sity of Virginia, University of South Carolina, Washington and Lee University,
University of North Carolina, North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical
College, Mercer University, University of Georgia, Emory College, Western
Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical College, Georgia School of Technology,
University of Chicago. Purdue University, Northwestern University, Ohio
State University, De Pauw University, Indiana State University, Rose Poly¬
technic Institute. Vanderbilt University, University of Missouri, Mount Union
College, Lombard University, Albion College, University of Alabama, Louis¬
iana State University, Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College, Central
University, Bethel College, Cumberland University, University of Iowa, Will¬
iam Jewell College, Leland Stanford Jr. University, University of California.
University of Kansas, University of Washington, and University of Texas.
Three of these chapters own chapter houses ; while ten others occupy
rented houses.
Besides the active chapters in the colleges, there are Alumni Associations
in most of the large cities in the country,
The Sigma Nu badge comprises a pin having a golden serpent coiled at its
center, and having five white radially disposed arms, in each of which is a pair
of crossed golden swords, and one of the Greek motto letters.
The fraternity colors are black, white and old gold.
Its organ is a quarterly publication called the Delta.
The present officers are: Isaac P. Robinson, Baltimore, Md.. regent:
James Alvin Clark, Clinton, 111., vice-regent ; Henry M. Furman, New Orleans,
La., treasurer, and Clarence E.Woods, Richmond, Ky.. recorder.
Since 1883, when its existence as a national fraternity really began, the
Sigma Nu Fraternity has displayed an energy, vigor and aggressivenes char¬
acteristic of youth.
. At that time it had practically no standing as a national fraternity. It had
but a comparatively small number of members, and but a few chapters. Its
few chapters were situated in small and. uninfluential institutions of learning,
in one part of the country. It owned no chapter houses, and rented none.
In fifteen years it has gained a place for itself among national college
fraternities, and a standing which is believed to be good. It has established
and maintained chapters in many of the most prominent and influential insti¬
tutions in the country. Its membership roll has increased ninefold. It has
201
acquired ownership of three chapter houses, and its chapters rent ten others.
And withal, it has maintained a high standard of mental and moral excellence,
as well as fraternal qualifications, for its members, so that they stand well, are
respected, and receive their share of honors at the institutions in which they
are students. All this has been accomplished in competition with college
fraternities possessing all the advantages which greater age might give them.
As might be expected as a result of its extreme youth, Sigma Nu cannot
exhibit a large list of prominent and influential alumni. Nevertheless it is not
entirely lacking in this matter.
Its list of members already includes six or eight national congressmen,
twenty or thirty state senators and representatives, the mayors of several
cities, a number of national electors, a few members of the national consular
service, one state solicitor general, two college presidents, and a considerable
number of prominent ministers, churchmen, lawyers, physicians and busi¬
ness men.
All of these were initiated into the fraternity while college students, for
the constitution forbids honorary membership.
So, all things considered. Sigma Nu feels proud of her past growth and
her present standing, and considers that her life has little more than begun, and
that, when she has reached her prime some years hence, her successes, victo¬
ries and achievements will be still more numerous and pronounced than they
are at present. A. Miller Belfield.
