Those who have en- joyed its fellowship understand its advantages. In those who have not experienced that hlessing of boyhood life, no amount of argument can ex- cite an appreciation of its value. The closest friendships you and I have to-day were formed before we became of age, in the walls of our chapter house. Age, occupation, distance, separation, new associations, have no influence upon friendships that are formed under such circumstances. You may not have seen him for a third of a century; you may not have heard his name for a generation; the path of his life may have led him to the Antipodes, but, when you come face to face with a boy who was initi- ated with you on a frosty autumn night, perhaps with absurd and silly ceremonies, the flame that often burns low, but can never be extinguished, will blaze up with a glow that will warm the lives of both of you ; and you feel toward each other a sentiment that you have never felt toward any man since the day you graduated. I have met members of my fra- ternity in odd corners of the world. Among the Taoist temples in China ; in the mines of the Andes; on the banks of the Nile, and although we were strangers before and have been strangers since, there was at least a few moments of gratification that encounters with other people could not have inspired. . . . There have been and always will be, abuses of the op- portunities I have described, but those who are familiar with the history of college fraternities and will take the trouble to examine their cata- logues will find that the high character of the men who have been members are the best endorsement of their advantages. By their personnel the Greek Letter Fraternities may justly be judged." — William Elcroy Curtis. BOLOGNA THE FOUNDING OF KAPPA SIGMA One of the American universities of which our country should be most proud has recently celebrated with rejoicing the begin- ning of an era in her affairs, in the inauguration of her first pres- ident. New occasions now teach her new duties, larger oppor- tunity leads her to take up tasks unthought-of even by her great first founder, but by virtue of her unique history, her matchless situation, her spirit of truth and honor, and most of all by the example of consecration to a worthy cause which those men afford who have served her so long and so faithfully for so small a material reward, she remains a blessing and a hope to all the region which receives good influences from her benign hand. She will continue to influence all that great civilization which has flowed in a stream from Virginia across the South and West, as Harvard and Yale have influenced that civilization which has gone out from Xew England to the Northwest, and met the other upon the Pacific coast. The history of such an institution, even the history of its be- ginning, is not a mere matter of an act of legislature, or of the transfer of some millions from one account to another and the commissioning of an architect to make a new mixture of the old and the new. For the history of the University of Virginia there would be scant room in a manual of this size. Amid circum- stances as romantic as ever surrounded the birth of any such or- der, Kappa Sigma came into existence; the only college frater- nity of general extent to which the University of Virginia stands in loco parentis. There could be no nobler mother among the universities ; and it is not those Kappa Sigmas alone who have stood beneath the Rotunda and lived on Lawns and Ranges, who 12 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK feel pride and satisfaction at the influence, progress and prosperity of Old Virginia. When, in 1868, William Grigsby McCormick, of Chicago and Baltimore, entered the University of Virginia, he found there a college system and a college life which could have been at no time paralleled anywhere in the North, nor, in all respects, even in the South. Many of the students were men in years, and every one was such in spirit and in mental development. Many had seen the face of war. The most punctilious rites of gentlemanly in- tercourse, between student and student and between students and faculty, were observed, and insisted upon by an inflexible senti- ment. The system of the university's government left much to the choice of the individual student, asking only that his con- duct should be regulated by a keen sense of honor, as the chival- rous and convivial South interpreted that word. In some sec- tions of the country, many of the students would have been classed as roaring young blades ; in other sections they might not have received so indulgent a title. Much went on that would have caused Cambridge to put up its shutters or New Haven to bar its doors. Yet that there was true metal under all the polish, manly integrity under all the youthful exuberance, not the South alone makes answer ; for wherever there is a Virginia man from these buoyant years, there is an honored citizen whose worth compels his fellows' confidence. The association of McCormick with Frank Courtney Nicodemus and Edmund Law Rogers had begun in Baltimore, the home of all three and the birthplace of the latter two. When the circle of friendship which enclosed these three was found, almost with- out their knowledge and wholly without their premeditation, to have included two others, George Miles Arnold and John Covert Boyd, within itself, the Fraternity had its new birth. The adop- tion of its historical and traditional name and ritualistic basis was a matter only of detail ; its oath was merely the putting in words of vows already realized in the lives of the founders ; its future extension was yet upon the knees of the gods. Adopting to some extent a form suggested by the customs of the student life in which they had a part, the Five Friends and Brothers organized the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. 14 THE FOUNDING OF KAPPA SIGMA From the classic Rotunda which forms the center of Virginia's noble group of buildings, four colonnades, broken at intervals by taller structures, and modeled in every detail after the most authentic works of Grecian skill, stretch toward the south. As severely simple within as they were severely classic without, the rooms intended for the use of students had one attractive feature — the great fireplace, for the filling of which there was as yet no lack of oaken logs. In every chimney-corner a sheaf of long clav pipes betokened and invited brotherly intercourse. During his first year at the University, William Grigsby McCormick had EAST LAWN AND ROTUNDA, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA Showing location of 46 East Lawn. Present residence of Prof. Wm. Minor Lile, of Zeta, at the right. occupied a room (the front lower room of cottage C) in Dawson's Row, a group of dormitories just outside the main plan of the University buildings. In 1869 he occupied the room at 46 East Lawn, the situation of which, its present exterior and interior, is shown in the accompanying illustrations. The taller structure at the immediate right of 46 East Lawn in the view given is now, by the way, the residence of a Kappa Sigma, William Minor Lile, the dean of the law school of the University. Samuel Isham North and George Miles Arnold occupied this room in 1870-71. It was here that the first Constitution and Ritual of Kappa Sigma, THE FOUNDING OF KAPPA SIGMA 15 a document which lies he fore the writer of these lines, was com- mitted to writing. The Founders were scattered about the university, so far as their "legal residences" were concerned. Xicodemus was at 6 West Range; Boyd and Rogers, as well as John E. Semmes, who was the first one added to the brotherhood after the original five, lived in "Social Hall," a small dormitory between the University proper and the town of Charlottesville. This house was so packed EXTERIOR OF 46 EAST LAWN, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA Here Kappa Sigma in America was Founded with men of promise that their names are worth mentioning. On the lower floor, besides Boyd and Semmes. were Chas. R. Hemphill, now a noted Presbyterian divine of Louisville: the cultivated and literary John Adger ("lark, of South Carolina, now- deceased ; J. A. Crawford, now well known at the bar of Co- lumbia. S. C. ; and Robert P.. Boylston, now a lawyer of Fairfield, S. C. Upstairs. Edmund Law Rogers occupied a room, and others on the same tloor were John X. Steele, now an eminent 16 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK Baltimore lawyer and a partner of John E. Semmes, and his brother, I. Nevitt Steele, now of Trinity Church, New York. George Miles Arnold had a room on East Range; and when, early in 1870, he met Samuel Isham North upon the latter's ar- rival at the University from his Texas home, a great friendship sprang suddenly into immortal life. "The loveliest character I ever met," is North's judgment upon his friend and brother, after all the years.

':--' INTERIOR OF 46 EAST LAWN, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA followed almost as a matter of course. The members were al- ways together. Such intimacies as existed within their number, like that between Arnold and North, were not allowed to disturb the general feeling of perfect fellowship. Formal meetings there seem to have been none. "Good fellows, good company, good manners, good morals and bright minds, full of spirits and all in for a good time," is Founder McCormick's description of them after a quarter of a century. Arnold was a leading spirit in the proceedings of the Fraternity, and at the suppers at "Brown's" THE FOUNDING OF KAPPA SIGMA 17 and "Ambroselli's," which were frequent occurrences. These fes- tive gatherings were from the first a distinguishing feature of the new Fraternity, and those Kappa Sigmas — and their name is legion — who are bons vivants and whose wit Hows most freely around the festal board, may be assured that these characteristics stamp them the true descendants of their forefathers in the Or- der, of whom, by the way, there was but one who ever took too much wine, and not one who gave his strength to that which de- stroyeth kings. Edmund Law Rogers is remembered as one whose light always shone brightly at these impromptu affairs, and the rest were not behindhand. If the record of these proceedings but existed, some chapters might be added to the "Noctes Am- brosianae." The question of a badge was very early taken up by the newly- formed Fraternity, and after much discussion, the design due to Edmund Law Rogers was adopted. It is in every detail the same as the present badge, save that the original examples were not so markedly convex as those now made, and had a field of white enamel in the center of the star instead of the present black. The original constitution includes the full description of the badge and the signification of its various parts and of the em- blems borne upon it. At the Christmas holidays of 1869, an order for badges was placed with the Baltimore firm of Sadtler & Sons, who had the work executed in New York. After the holidays, the Star and Crescent of Kappa Sigma was seen at Virginia for the first time. Badges of this early make still exist, in the possession of George Leiper Thomas, Samuel lsham North, Airs. William Clark Whitford, and possibly others, and one is seen on another page in the portrait of Sam- uel lsham North. They were one inch in diameter, and were originally furnished with a guard-chain and a chapter-pin of the letter Zeta. The chapter-pin has of late years been generally abandoned, and the extreme size now allowable for the badge is three-quarters of an inch. The end of the college year 'bq-'jo put an end, for a time, to the close associations of the original Five, who by this time had united with themselves Semmes and North, as above stated. In the fall of 1870. Nicodemus was engaged in active business, THE FOUNDING OF KAPPA SIGMA 19 and decided not to pursue his university work further, while Mc- Cormick has recorded the confession that he was very much in love with the present Mrs. McCormick and was unwilling to sep- arate himself from her immediate neighborhood by the distance intervening between Baltimore and Charlottesville. Semmes not returning until 1872, only Arnold, Boyd, Rogers and North were found read}' to carry on the work of the Fraternity when the University reopened. All of these were interested in the Fra- ternity, which was just at its beginning, and willing to work for it. So far as can be determined from the recollections of those who survive, it was Arnold who had the rosiest dreams of the future, dreams which have more than come true. With his as- sociates, he laid the plans for the first extension of the Fraternity, even assigning in advance the letters by which certain Chapters should be designated; he fixed many matters which had been left uncertain in the free and informal life of the previous year ; and he introduced the ritualistic work which, without any change except certain amplifications of which the history is well known to Kappa Sigmas, still awes and impresses the initiate when rightly performed, and is pronounced by those in a position to judge a most beautiful, consistent and fitting production. The association of Samuel Isham North in this work with three of the original Five of the preceding year gives him full and un- questioned right to the honorable title of Founder. The work of 1869 alone could not have led to the present development of the Fraternity without the work of 1870; the work of 1870 undoubtedlv had as its basis the work of 1869. Much of the history of this important year is contained in the oldest existing Kappa Sigma minutes, of which the original is in the possession of the W. G. S., being held in trust by that official for Zeta Chapter. As the minutes contain nothing in itself secret, and as they introduce some other matters which must be pre- sented, they are here given in full : University of Virginia, Nov. "th, 1870. The K. S.

Rogers, Jr., per Wm. Whitford Secretary. It was in this year that members of the Fraternity rented and occupied a cottage, the property of the famous Latin professor, Gildersleeve, which thereby became the first fraternity house of Kappa Sigma, and apparently the first fraternity house in the South. George Leiper Thomas and Edmund Law Rogers lived in it. With them was Robert S. McCormick (the present Am- bassador to France, and a brother of William Grigsby McCor- mick) , who had been very intimate with the founders of the year before but who himself became a member of Sigma Chi. Here took place one act of the thrilling series of events known since in the Fraternity as "The Defense of Miles Arnold," which served to test the oaths of the new brotherhood and the feeling of mu- tual confidence among the students of the University. To say that political and social conditions in the South were at this time "unsettled" is to use as mild language as if one were to call Paradise enjoyable or the lower regions temperately warm. 9i > > -Q CO I 5 f > i§ t 3 24 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK The negro was "on the front seat of the band-wagon," as a brother has put it ; and the white citizen who confronted a colored man in any court had every presumption against him. The hot- blooded Southerners of the University went armed, and frequent- ly indulged in nocturnal pistol-practice, by way of warning to all whom it might concern that they were prepared to take matters into their own hands whenever necessary. Miles Arnold was what those nourished on icicles are accustomed to call a fire- eater; though of no overbearing disposition he had the temper which went with his nicknames of "the Count" and "the little Spaniard," and he was never unarmed. On a bitter day in Feb- ruary, 1871, he had been several miles from Charlottesville, across the Rivanna river, to call on a young lady. When he was about to leave her home, she, after the hospitable fashion of the time, pressed him to fortify himself against the outer cold by a sufficient number of apple-jacks. On reaching Charlottesville Arnold seems to have taken further similar measures with the same intent. Finding his conduct gratuitously called in question by a son of Ham, he made no long argument of the matter, but fired upon his assailant and laid him low. It turned out that, owing to the well-known thickness of the African cranium, the wound was not mortal ; but, in ignorance of this fact, and know-, ing that there was danger should a negro mob be formed, and al- most equal danger should he fall into the hands of what in those, times and in that region passed for law, Arnold at once sought his friend and brother North, in their room upon the University campus, and told him what had happened. E. Stanley Toadvin, who had met Arnold as he came up, was at once dispatched toward the town, to put the sheriff and his posse, who were known to be approaching, on a false scent if possible. North spirited Arnold away to a room in another part of the campus, and sent out word to the other Kappa Sigmas and his Texan friends — many of whom, owing to the constant asso- ciation of North and Arnold, believed the latter a Texan — to rally to his defense. Toadvin, returning, assumed the leadership of these, while the sheriff and posse searched in Arnold's and the neighboring rooms in vain. They then turned their attention, perhaps by the suggestion of some brother who knew where Dr. McGuffey John B. Minor Dr. Cabell Dr. Smith Dr. Davis Dr. Mallet Dr. Harrison Col.

Peyton (Proctor) FACULTY, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, 1869-70 From contemporary photo, by Roads, Charlottesville 26 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK Arnold really was, to the Gildersleeve cottage, the Kappa Sigma house, where Arnold might be supposed to have gone. George Leiper Thomas was sitting alone in the lower room of the cottage, nursing a crippled knee, when Robert McCormick rushed in upon him and dropped a loaded shotgun in his lap with the forcible injunction "Defend your fraternity brother." The situation was explained in a few words, and Thomas was ar- ranged so as to form a battery of one piece commanding the front door and the approaches thereto. The door being opened, Mc- McCORMICK OBSERVATORY UNIVERSITY OF VIRGIt* The gift of L. J. McCormick, an uncle of the Founder Cormick and Rogers took their positions outside as if to prevent any approach to the house from the rear, and, on the coming of the sheriff, parleyed with that officer at great length, finally con- vincing him that Arnold was not in the house. Meanwhile, it had been reported to North that a mob of ne- groes was forming to search the University grounds for Arnold. "Some negroes saved their lives by not finding us that night," says Dr. North in reminiscences of the affair. North's horse, and a fresh one for Arnold, were brought to the most retired side THE FOUNDING OF KAPPA SIGMA 11 of the campus, and forty armed Texans and Kappa Sigmas es- corted Arnold to the spot. By this time it had been dark for some hours. Arnold, with North as his escort, rode fifteen miles into the country, to the house of the grandfather of Arnold's sweetheart whose well-meant prescription of apple-jack had been the beginning of all the trouble. The two riders missed the ford of the Rivanna, and were nearly ready to perish with cold when. about two the next morning, they reached a friendly shelter. Arnold went on to friends in another county the next day, and. after some weeks, went to New York to enter a medical college there, where his inseparable friend North soon joined him. Ar- nold's resignation as a student was accepted by the Virginia fac- ulty without prejudice; the Ethiopian sufferer soon recovered; and thus by the quick wit of Kappa Sigmas what might have been a mournful tragedy was turned into a drama to be a stirring memory of years afterward, and a lesson of the strength of a fraternal obligation. A month after the departure of North, that of Boyd is re- corded. The work of the Chapter, as it may now be called, ap- pears to have ended for the year with the loss of three of the Founders in succession. The rest belongs to the early history of the Fraternity and of Zeta Chapter. Let that which is here set down suffice to show that American Kappa Sigma sprang from no rivalry, discontent or disappointment, but solely from the free spirit of brotherhood in loyal hearts. Already plans are being considered to celebrate, in 1919, the fiftieth anniversary of the founding and to make the event unparalleled among such fetes. WILLIAM GRIGSBY McCORMICK 1905 THE FOUNDERS OF KAPPA SIGMA It is said that Boston asks concerning a stranger, "What does he know? - ' New York, "How much is he worth?" Philadelphia, "Who was his grandfather?" and Washington, "What can he do?" The founders of Kappa Sigma could pass this whole exam- ination with credit. The too early death of two of the original Five Friends and Brothers cut short lives in which the spirit of a noble ancestry was fully shown ; the founders who survive are honored citizens whose worthy achievements in widely various walks of life exemplify the catholic scope of the Fraternity which they founded. The true romance of the Founding having been told in the preceding chapter, as fully as it can ever be given to the general public, it remains to show who the Founders were and to tell the story of their later lives. WILLIAM GRIGSBY McCORMICK A volume of four hundred seventy-eight pages (Ancestral Record and Biography of the McCormick Family : By Leander James McCormick. Chicago, 1896) is required to display the ramifications, in Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Virginia, of this fine old Irish Presbyterian family, of the self-same breed as their fellow-countymen who, settling in Augusta county, Vir- ginia, gave America scores of her generals and statesmen. It is possible to mention here only that branch of the McCormicks, celebrated in our national annals for a hundred years, from which our founder comes; a line known not alone for its enormous wealth, but also for the genius displayed by it in other fields than those of mere money making, and for its alliances with people distinguished otherwise than by their material possessions ; and 30 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK among the families of American multimillionaires, the only one which traces its origin to the South. The first of the name to become world-famous was Robert McCormick (1780-1846), the inventor, who laid the foundation of the family fortunes. He lived at "Walnut Grove," Augusta county, Virginia, an estate of two thousand acres into which he came by inheritance. Among his eight sons and daughters were Cyrus H. McCormick, the Chicago inventor and financier, whose daughter married Emmons Blaine (son of James G. Blaine), WILLIAM GRIGSBY Mccormick 1S69 and whose son married Edith Rockefeller (daughter of John D. Rockefeller) ; Leander J. McCormick, who gave the McCormick observatory to the University of Virginia ; and William Sanderson McCormick, allied with his brothers in the perfecting of the great inventions which influenced the agricultural development of a world. William S. McCormick married Mary Ann Grigsby, daughter of Col. Reuben Grigsby, of "Hickory Hill," Rockbridge county, Virginia, and cousin of Hugh Blair Grigsby, a celebrated president of William and Mary College. Of this union, the sec- THE FOUNDERS OF KAPPA SIGMA 31 ond born was William Grigsby McCormick, Founder of Kappa Sigma, whose elder brother, Robert S. McCormick, late Am- bassador to France, married a daughter of Joseph Medill, the man who made the Chicago Tribune, A son of Robert S. McCormick married Senator Hanna's daughter Ruth ; three sisters of the Founder married into well-known Chicago families; and the im- portant alliances formed by various members of the third and fourth generations are too numerous to be mentioned here. William Grigsby McCormick was born June 3, 1851, in the McCormick home in Chicago, on Cass and Illinois streets. After receiving his primary education in private schools of the city, he was a student in the preparatory department of the old Uni- versity of Chicago. His mother, widowed in 1865, soon after- ward removed to Baltimore, from which city young McCormick went in October, 1868, to the University of Virginia, returning to that University in 1869. There the associations, already be- gun in the case of some of the founders, developed, as we have seen, into the Fraternity. Leaving the University of Virginia in May, 1870, he spent six months in foreign travel, accompanied by his brother Robert and by a cousin. England. Ireland, Scotland and the Continent were visited. Returning to Baltimore in November of the same year, young McCormick followed his natural bent by associating himself with the banking house of John S. Gittings & Co., in whose employ he remained for two years. His happy marriage to Eleanor Brooks, daughter of Walter Booth Brooks (president of the Canton Company and son of a former president of the B. & O.) was the next important event of his life. At this first Kappa Sigma wedding, which occurred October 23, 1873, at the Brown Memorial Church of Baltimore, George Leiper Thomas was a groomsman and Edmund Law Rogers a guest. Returning late in 1874 from a year of foreign travel, Mr. and Mrs. McCor- mick spent a few months in Baltimore, removing in February, 1875, to Chicago. Brother McCormick now entered upon the active business ca- reer which continued until his retirement in 1900. As a member of the firm of McCormick Bros. & Findlay, and later of W. G. McCormick & Co., with offices in Chicago and New York, he was THE FOUNDERS OF KAPPA SIGMA 33 engaged in the fire insurance and real estate business until 1884. In that year he became a member of the Chicago board of trade and of the grain and stock brokerage firm of Smith, McCormick & Co. In the following year, \Y. G. .McCormick became a mem- ber of the Now York stock exchange; and after some changes of business relationships, the firm of W. G. McCormick & Co., hav- ing its offices in New York, Chicago and St. Louis, was organ- ized. In 189] lb-other McCormick transferred Tlis business in- terests to the well-known Schwartz-Dupee combination, with which he was associated until 1893. After a brief retirement from business, he reentered the arena in 1894 as a partner in the widely-known and successful firm of Price, McCormick & Co., which firm was terminated in 1900. Brother McCormick's only active entrance into politics was in 1880, when, against his ex- pressed wish, friends placed him on the Democratic ticket for al- derman from the eighteenth ward of the city of Chicago, a ward which had not elected a Democrat for more than twenty years. Brother McCormick was elected, to the surprise of many political wiseacres of the city. He is well-known in the principal cities of the world, and has many friends in both hemispheres. He is a member of no secret order except the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. He is or has been a member of the Chicago, Union, Athletic and Washington Park clubs of Chicago, the Union.

The pictures of Brother McCormick accompanying this volume are the only ones he has ever given out for publication anywhere. Seven children, of whom six are living, have been born to Mr. and Mrs. McCormick. One of the four daughters married Her- bert S. Stone, the Chicago publisher, son of Melville E. Stone, manager of the Associated Press. A son, Walter Brooks Mc- Cormick, is vice-president and general manager of the McCormick Coal Company, of Kansas, one of his father's enterprises ; the other son, Chauncey Brooks McCormick, is a Yale '07 man and a member of Alpha Delta Phi. Since the retirement of Brother 34 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK McCormick from active business life in 1900, the family home has been at their country house in Goshen, Virginia, and at the Brooks mansion, "Clover Dale," Baltimore. GEORGE MILES ARNOLD The father of George Miles Arnold was George Anson Ar- nold, a native of Troy, N. Y., and son of Dr. George Arnold, of Newport, R. I., who came of a family well-known in that section. George Anson Arnold married Mary Antoinette Filkins, cele- brated beauty of Troy, and engaged in a wholesale business in Mobile, Ala., where he prospered. On one of the Arnolds' yearly visits to Troy, George Miles Arnold was born, August 27, 1851. After receiving his^ first training at the Union Hill boarding school, Monroe county, N. Y., and at Dr. Davis' academy for boys, Bloomfield, N. J., Arnold entered the academic depart- ment of the University of Virginia in 1869, his chief studies being Latin, French and mathematics. Small but well built, speaking French, Spanish and Italian fluently, he was a typical young Southerner of those stirring times. Although carrying no Spanish blood, nevertheless, on account of his proficient knowledge of the language, he was known to his friends and THE FOUNDERS OF KAPPA SIGMA 35 admirers as "the little Spaniard."' From students of Kappa Sig- ma history he has later received the title of "the first S. A. Jack- son." All the surviving founders agree in praise of his devotion from the first to the cause of the Fraternity. "H,e gave nearly his whole time to the society," says one. In the summer of 1870, he began, with Samuel [sham North, his nearest and dearest friend even within Kappa Sigma, a course in medicine at the University, under Harrison, the famous and beloved professor. In February, 1871. the occurrence elsewhere related made it necessary for his friends and brothers to protect him from the consequences of a rash and hasty act, and caused his withdrawal from the University — the authorities, after investigation, accept- ing his resignation as a student and dismissing him with a clear record. He shortly entered the medical college of New York University, and by the end of the scholastic year 1872, had completed the medical course according to the requirements of the time. Being still under age. his degree was not conferred upon him until the 36 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK following year, 1873. He studied at Bellevue Hospital medical college in iSy2-'y^, and received a diploma also from this insti- tution. He also served for a time as resident physician at the E. and P. Hospital, Bedford Island, and in 1873 began to practice. Later he was resident physician at the Convalescent Hospital, Hart's Island, and, having become a Master Mason of Lebanon lodge in 1873, was in i874-'75 vice-president and examining physician of the Washington Masonic Mutual Benefit Associa- tion, of New York. Founder Arnold's marriage occurred on September 8, 1874, at the Jane St. M. E. church, New York, the officiating minister being the Rev. Dr. Hamlin. The bride was Miss Minnie J. Law, daughter of Robert J. Law, a wealthy real estate owner of the city, a Mason, and a veteran of the Civil War, being one of the first to go out with the New York Seventh. For a number of years the Arnolds resided at 105 east 71st St., New York, and their home was a meeting-place for Kappa Sigmas of that early day. The Star and Crescent, illuminated in the size of the early badges, appeared on Arnold's note-paper; he spoke much of the Fraternity, corresponding with his friends North and Boyd con- tinually, and often entertaining as his guests S. A. Jackson and Ed. Law Rogers, Jr., the latter of whom claimed kinship with THE FOUNDERS OF KAPPA SIGMA 37 Mrs. Arnold through their common descent from the Maryland Laws. Dr. and Mrs. Arnold were for years regular attendants upon St. James' Episcopal church, Xew York, and here for rive years, until the demands of a constantly increasing practice obliged him to abandon it. Arnold had a Bible claSS of young men, who were closely drawn to him by his ever attractive personality. To Dr. Arnold and his wife there were born eight children. ( )f the sad death of five of these, the widowed mother speaks seldom and with reluctance. Three died within one period of six weeks ; after an interval of five years, death claimed two in one day : and all were carried oft" by the same disease, diphtheria, which Dr. Arnold was accustomed to meet and to vanquish in his practice, having never lost a case. A lover of his home and family, the effect of these losses never left him. He threw him- self more and more earnestly into his active work, becoming regardless of his own health ; and on January 25, 1890, pneu- monia due to exposure resulted in his death, after an illness of but a few days. His body reposes in Woodlawn Cemetery. Mrs. Arnold, with her three living children, two daughters and a son, found a home with her mother for five years, until that lady's death, and then removed to her present residence. $~ W. 124th St..

Other Kappa Sigmas have been better known than Miles Ar- nold, but none has ever been better loved. Peace to his ashes ! The Fraternity would have delighted in these latter days to honor him living; dead, it reveres his memorv. EDMUND LAW ROGERS The third of the original Five, and the designer of the badge of Kappa Sigma, was the son of Edmund Law Rogers. Sr., and Charlotte (Plater) Rogers, and was born in Baltimore. July 1. 1850. He was descended through his paternal grandmother from Mrs. Martha Custis, afterwards the wife of George Washington ; whose son. John Parke Custis. early wedded pretty Eleanor 38 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK Calvert, daughter of Benedict Calvert, a head of the old-time Maryland family. Their daughter, Eliza Custis, married Thomas Law, whose brother, the first Baron Ellenborough, was leading counsel for Warren Hastings before the House of Lords in 1788, and Lord Chief Justice of England from 1802 to 1818. Thomas Law was of no less worth. Before coming to America, he had been governor of a province in India, under Cornwallis as gov- ernor-general, in 1786 and later. His devotion to his adopted country was shown when, in 1814, after the burning of the national capitol by the British, he with another purchased a house in Washington and allowed Congress the use of it as a capitol building until better quarters could be erected — by this one act preventing the removal of the capital of the nation from Washington. Eliza Law, daughter of Thomas Law, married Lloyd Nicholas Rogers, of Baltimore, and their son was General Edmund Law Rogers, Sr., father of our founder. The Rogers line was also one of distinction. Nicholas Rogers, father of Lloyd Nicholas Rogers, was a student in Scotland at FHE FOUNDERS OF KAPPA SIGMA 39 the time when the Revolution began. Hurrying back to his country by way of France, to give himself to the cause of free- dom, he became an aide-de-camp to General de Coudray, and was afterward Baron de Kalb's adjutant during the dreadful winter at Valley Forge. Soon after the close of the Revolution, Colonel Rogers married Eleanor Buchanan, daughter of Lloyd Buchanan and granddaughter of one of the founders of Baltimore. With her there came into the Rogers family the country-seat of five hundred and fiftv acres, then known as "Auchentorolv." which the city of Baltimore bought from Lloyd Nicholas Rogers in 1859 for $550,000, and which has now become Druid Hill, one of the surpassingly beautiful and perfect parks of the world. Gen. Edmund Law Rogers, Sr.. who died about 1895, was a prominent and wealthy citizen of Baltimore, and held many posi- tions of honor and trust in the city and state. His wife, Charlotte Plater, was a descendant of George Plater, one of the colonial governors of Maryland and a member of the Council. Their only surviving child is Charlotte, wife of Professor Kirby Flower Smith, of Johns Hopkins. 40 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK Edmund Law Rogers, Jr., was prepared for the University at the well-known academy of James Kinnier, in Baltimore, where Founder F. C. Nicodemus was among his classmates. Entering the University of Virginia in 1869, he was graduated in an aca- demic course. He then took up the study of architecture. Thor- oughly artistic in his temperament, none who knew him doubt that had he been under the kindly spur of necessity he might have achieved eminence in his profession, and, given the ordi- nary span of life, have been one of our country's chief apostles of a noble art which is just now coming to its own among us. Private theatricals had given him a liking for the stage. It amused him to act, and, free from personal anxieties and cares, he enjoyed the life behind the footlights. Handsome and clever, he was always in demand for leading parts and in the support of popular stars, from 1880, when he entered upon his stage career, to the time of his death. At one time he played in "stock" with Ada Rehan, and later he had the part, which one of his few extant pictures shows to have been easily assumed by him, of a Southern planter in Boucicault's drama of "The Octoroon." Upon the stage he was known as Leslie Edmunds. Kindly, pol- ished, full of quiet humor, a citizen of the world who loved the world in which he dwelt, his old friends found much pleasure in their continued association with him while he lived. He was a member of the Lambs club, of New York, and of the old Alston club of Baltimore. He married Miss Anna Carleton, of Boston, who survived him but a few years. His death occurred in New York, December 19, 1893 ; he was buried, from the old Rogers residence in Baltimore, in the Buchanan and Rogers burying- ground in Druid Hill, reserved to the family use perpetually when the sale to the city was made. Among the pall-bearers was George Leiper Thomas, his early brother in the parent Chap- ter of Kappa Sigma. FRANK COURTNEY NICODEMUS Frank Courtney Nicodemus is one of the five surviving children of Josiah Courtney Nicodemus and Mary Jane (Montandon) Nicodemus, both from old American and Maryland families ; and THE FOUNDERS OF KAPPA SIGMA is a native, and a life-long resident, of Baltimore. One of his sisters is the wife of Edwin W'arfield. "Hie first gentleman of the South," the present Governor of Maryland. Before entering the University of Virginia, young Nicodemus was a student at Kinnier's Academy in his native city, where he was associated with Edmund Law Rogers, Jr. Leaving' the University in the spring of 1870. he was taken into the office of his father's firm. Smith & Nicodemus. In 1874 he became a partner in the same firm, and in the following year he formed a partnership with his FRANK COURTNEY NICODEMUS 1904 father, under the title of J. C. Nicodemus & Son. The new firm engaged in a general investment and brokerage business for the following four years. In 1879, Brother Nicodemus formed the firm of F. C. Nicodemus & Co., for the manufacture of boilers, engines and machinery; withdrawing from this firm in 1885, he became treasurer of the Baltimore postoffice. In March, 1891, he was offered the general agency for Maryland of the Connecti- cut Mutual Life Insurance Company, which he continues to hold. Brother Nicodemus has been a member of the old Alston club, 42 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK and of the Maryland club, of Baltimore. He has always had a part in the social life of his city, and has been intimately associ- ated with some of the older and younger Kappa Sigmas there. He was married March 26, 1879, in the Franklin Street Presby- terian Church, Baltimore, to Mary Field Weeks, daughter of John L. Weeks, a member of the Baltimore firm of Woods, Weeks & Co. To Mr. and Mrs. Nicodemus were born four chil- dren : John Lee Nicodemus, who is about to become an officer in the regular army ; Frank Courtney Nicodemus, Jr., a graduate of the law school of the University of Maryland and a bright young member of the firm of Pierce & Greer, of New York, one of the strongest law partnerships in the United States; Mary Nico- demus ; and Gordon Kirkland Nicodemus, who has just entered upon business life. After the death of his first wife, Brother Nicodemus was again married, in 1891, to Miss Florence B. Smith, of Baltimore. At 181 5 Park avenue, Baltimore, is the pleasant home of the family. JOHN COVERT BOYD John Covert Boyd, who has been connected with the Navy medical corps for more than thirty years, was born December 24, 1850, near Bradford Springs, Sumter county, South Carolina. His grandfather was Dr. John Boyd, physician and planter, and his father, William Simms Boyd, was a graduate of the South Carolina Medical College, though he devoted his attention to the management of his estate rather than to the practice of his pro- fession. An ancestor in the paternal line was General Richard Richardson, 1704-1780, who attained to distinction in the colonial wars and in the Revolution. An account of his services and a history of his descendants is to be found in Johnson's "Traditions of the Revolution," and in Mrs. E. F. Ellet's "Women of the American Revolution," where the life of General Richardson's wife, who was Elizabeth Canty, of South Carolina, is given. John Covert Boyd's mother was Laura Nelson (Covert) Boyd, a daughter of John Covert, a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church and a graduate of Columbia and of Princeton Seminary. After being prepared for college in private schools of Charles- THE FOUNDERS OF KAPPA SIGMA \3 ton, S. C, John Covert Boyd spent two years at the University of Virginia, from 1869 to 1871, beginning the medical course in the second year. He then entered the medical department of the University of the City of New York, from which he received the degree of M.D. in 1872. After a year as interne in the Jersey City Charity Hospital, he was appointed an Assistant Surgeon in the Navy medical corps, and since that time has been continu- ously connected therewith, having risen through the grades of Passed Assistant Surgeon. Surgeon, and Medical Inspector, to that of Medical Director. The detailed record of his career would fill several of these pages. He has seen service both afloat and ashore; was for eight years assistant to the chief of the naval Bureau of Medicine and Surgery ; was detailed as a delegate to represent the medical department of the Navy at a meeting of th Association of Military Surgeons of the United States, held in Buffalo, in 1895 ! was again detailed as a delegate to the Inter- national Tuberculosis Congress, Berlin, 1899. Since 1902 he has been a professor in the Xaval Medical College, Washington, in 44 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK which institution he is second in seniority, and a member of the Board for examination and promotion of medical officers. Throughout his professional career he has been the author of numerous reports upon technical subjects, and he is at present engaged, under the supervision of the Surgeon-General of the Navy, in the preparation of a book of instructions for medical officers, which will make a volume of four hundred pages. Dr. Boyd is a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine ; a member of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States and of the American Medical Association ; an honorary member of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia; a member of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences and of the Archaeological Institute of America. On January 16, 1905, President Roosevelt designated him as one of the incorporators of the American National Red Cross, and appointed him a mem- ber of the Central Committee of that body. On the meeting of the incorporators he was made a member of the Executive Commit- tee of the Red Cross. His club membership includes the Metro- politan, Washington, the Reform, New York, and the New York Yacht Club. Attractive and magnetic, a typical Southerner and a loyal American, Dr. Boyd is known not only as the best in- formed man in the Navy, but also as the best loved man in it. It is said on good authority that he has to his credit the highest grade ever made in an examination for Passed Assistant Surgeon. He was married June 24, 1887, to Miss Katharine Dorr Willard, of Washington, a daughter of C. C. Willard, of the well-known Washington family, and a descendant of Simon Willard, once president of Harvard. With their son and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Boyd occupy a delightful home at 1315 P Street, northwest, Washington. JOHN E. SEMMES John E. Semmes was born at Cumberland, Md., July 1, 185 1. The Semmes family in America is a distinguished one, especially in the Navy, and is descended from Joseph Semmes, originally of Norman ancestry, who came to Maryland from England in 1688. Representatives of the family living in northern France THE FOUNDERS OF KAPPA SIGMA I.S offered their services to Admiral Semmes on board the Alabama at Cherbourg just before the engagement with the Kcarsarge. The father of John E. Semmes was Samuel M. Semmes. of Mary- land, a lawyer by profession. Receiving his early education under private tutors and in Chestnut Hill School. John E. Semmes entered the University of Virginia October 18, 1869. He was graduated upon the completion of a course in analytical chemis- try, and soon afterward entered the Navy as secretary to Com- modore John Guest, his maternal uncle. Later, he prepared for the bar in the law school of the I niversity of Maryland, and entered the office of the late John H. B. Latrobe. He is now a member of the law firm of Steele & Semmes. of Baltimore, is prominent at the bar of that city, and was at one time city solici- tor. One of his partners. John X. Steele, was with him at Virginia in 1869-70. Brother Semmes was married to Frances Hayward. daughter of Xehemiah P. Hayward, of Xew Hamp- shire, and Prudence ( Carman) Hayward. a descendant of Cap- tain Robert North, prominent in the early history of Baltimore. 46 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK He is a member of the Maryland club and of the Bachelors' Cotillion club of Baltimore. In the early days of Kappa Sigma, he was an intimate associate of the lamented Rogers. SAMUEL ISHAM NORTH Samuel Isham North was born May 14, 1849, on his father's farm in De Witt county, Texas, and received his early education in the schools of that state. Early in January, 1870, he entered the University of Virginia, forming that deep and lasting friend- ship with George Miles Arnold which led to North's early union with the just- formed Fraternity. The work of Rogers, Arnold and North, is known to those acquainted with the history of the secret work of the Fraternity, and has been spoken of in the preceding chapter, in so far as it may be told in these pages. After devoting some time to academic studies, North, with Ar- nold, entered upon the study of medicine, taking the first year of the regular medical course. Leaving Virginia in the spring of THE FOUNDERS OF KAPPA SIGMA 47 1S71 to take the summer course at the University of New York, he passed his final examinations in September, [871, at the latter institution, though on account of a regulation as to time of resi- dence the degree was not conferred upon him until the following March. At that time, after a competitive examination, Dr. North won the position of interne at Roosevelt hospital, where he served eighteen months. I le then became one of sixteen applicants for interne at the Woman's hospital, the examination for which is said to he one of the hardest in the country. North won the posi- tion. The illness of his father soon demanded his return to Texas, and in 1874 he began to practice in Galveston. Consid- erations of health necessitated a change of climate, and he re- moved to Cuero, in his native county, and in 1882 to Clayton, New Mexico, where he has since led the self-denying- life of a busy doctor; the monotony of which he has varied by a successful venture in Hereford cattle. His fellow-citizens have also pro- vided him with occupation for his rare moments of leisure by making him their county superintendent of schools. On June 25, 1884, Dr. North married Eliza Gordon, daughter of Jonathan W. Gordon, a major of regulars and afterward a celebrated criminal lawyer of Indianapolis. Their son, Samuel Gordon North, horn in 1885, is attending Washington and Lee University, and is an active member of Mu of Kappa Sigma. The four hundred Kappa Sigmas who attended the St. Louis Conclave remember the good gray doctor, and understand how much of the present beauty and strength of the Fraternity is due to the work performed by him, with the lamented Rogers and Arnold. GEORGE LEIPER THOMAS George Leiper Thomas, the first regular initiate the date of whose initiation is precisely known, was born in Baltimore, Sep- tember 10, 1852. His father was John Henry Thomas, a member of the Baltimore bar for fifty-four years, a distinguished and able lawyer, and a graduate of Princeton. After attending private schools in Baltimore. George Thomas went to Europe in the sum- mer of 1868, for a year of study and travel. After attending 4 48 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK lectures at Lausanne he went to Dresden, and was at the Circus Renz on the night of July 19, 1870, when the performance was brought to an abrupt end by the announcement, made from the ring by Renz, the proprietor, of the declaration of war by France upon Germany. Thomas then went to Berlin, where he remained a spectator of events until the end of the Franco- Prussian war. Returning to America, he entered the University of Virginia in the fall of 1870, and was made a member of Kappa Sigma at its first meeting of which the contemporary minute re- mains, November 7, 1870. He was one of those who lived in the first Kappa Sigma house during the year 'yo-'yi, and many par- ticulars of the early history may be derived from his recollections of the intimacy existing among the members, and of their habits and customs. He was the intimate friend and associate of Ed- mund Law Rogers until the death of the latter, and has kept up his acquaintance with other pioneer Kappa Sigmas. He received the degree of LL.B. from the University of Maryland, in 1873, and has practiced law in Baltimore ever since. THE EUROPEAN TRADITION The Fraternity is alone among the university societies of the country in a traditional and legendary European origin. History gives us the information that there existed in Euro- pean universities secret orders among students. About the year 1400. as is well known, there came to the oldest university in the world. Bologna, the Greek scholar Manuel Chrysoloras (l355?-I4I5) who gave to the world as his pupils many dis- tinguished scholars. He was the author of Erotemata Quaes- tiones, one of the first Greek grammars used in Italy. He is tra- ditionally asserted to have founded at the university a secret Order of students for mutual protection against Raltasare Cossa, at that time governor of the city, who practiced extortion upon the students, even sending out bands of his followers to rob them as they approached the university. The Order continued to exist, and spread first to the University of Florence, and then to the other three of the five great universities — Paris, Orleans and Montpelier. The lodges or circles among these scholars were known as Kohaths. They flourished throughout the revival of learning, enrolling the names of Bruni, Politian, the de Medicis, Michael Angelo, Chalcondylas, Bracciolini, and many others — poets, artists and wits. At one time it was intended to name all of the American chapters after these celebrities. In modern times the Order became practically extinct, but its secrets and symbols are said to have been preserved by a few noble families of Italy and France — principally in the de Bardi family. Its ritual, not a sophomore document, and peculiarly appropriate to a university society, is reminiscent of both the lower and higher degrees of Masonry. THE EUROPEAN TRADITION 51 Enough of these traditions and legends have grown up about the Order for a dozen more degrees for degree makers. A few of them, referring to familiar symbols of the Fraternity may be here explained. Lorenzo de Medici, "II Magnifico," who was a patron <>( the Order in its beginning, adopted the caduceus, an ^TERIOR OF THE Bologna's Westm :ampo SANTO emblem of Mercury, as his private seal. Hence the use of the emblem by Kappa Sigma, and name of the magazine of the Fra- ternity. The motto of the University of Bologna was Bononia docet mundum or Bononia docet. This is the open motto of Kappa Sigma, and suggests the mission which Kappa Sigma hopes to realize in the new world as Bologna did in the old. 52 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK Referring to the traditional origin, Alexander Yerger Scott, of Mississippi, the Conclave orator, at the Grand Conclave at Look- out Mountain, 1906, said: "We are here, gathered together from the furthest confines of our beloved country ; from the North, the East, the West and the South, actuated by like desires, centered upon a single purpose ... ^ nt§8lx*\\ ii ps ffBlJ^ """t':" '-i Ife 35J.1 ^l""'kac KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE. MICHIGAN and inspired by identical ideas and ideals ; and that which inspires us, the good we seek, is not selfish but unselfish, not personal, but impersonal, and is represented to us by a name — that name, Kappa Sigma. "It is this I would have you consider with me. Kappa Sigma is known to the outside world as a college fraternity, a secret THE EUROPEAN TRADITION 53 organization for boys; a thing for their amusement; a passing phase of youthful experience and pleasure. You and I know dif- ferently of Kappa Sigma, whatever may he said of others, for we have within our hearts the esoteric teachings of our beloved Fra- ternity, and we know it is something more, much more, than a thing" to amuse a schoolboy, and to be discarded with the toga. We know that Kappa Sigma represents within itself, and stands for, the great truth that, express it how or when or where we will, from the first dawn of recorded history — aye, beyond that, turn we back the pages of the eternal ages and dip into the past as we will — resolves itself into this, the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. "Our fraternity rests not its foundation upon recorded his- 54 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK tory. We cannot, with exactitude, say when nor where nor how the thing we call Kappa Sigma had its birth, any more than we can say when the light first begins to break over a darkened world ; nor when nor where man first became a living, breathing- spirit reflecting the qualities of Deity. Looking back into the dim past, we find this central truth of life first expressed in myth and in symbol; in the esoteric teachings of eastern religions, the Zend Avestas, the Dhammapodas, the Vedas, the Koran; in the Bibles of the men that have come and gone ; in the myths of Greece and Rome ; in the Sagas of the Northmen ; and the tradi- KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE. NEW YORK tions of savages express in some form the same idea — enmeshed, it may be, in much that is unbelievable, much that is absurd to our modern scientific mind. So the central truth of Kappa Sigma comes to us like the central truth of life — through legend and through tradition. "Tradition — did you ever think what a tradition is ; its power, its value, its utility ? Traditions are not made by any man, but by time alone. A tradition cannot be proved. It cannot be dis- proved. It rests alone upon faith — belief — and that is the power of tradition, for faith is the greatest power in all the universe. . . . THE EUROPEAN TRADITION 55 "Happy, then, that nation and that people who believe. That their tradition be true or false, reasonable or unreasonable, is of little moment, so that it is believed. "My brothers, do you realize that Kappa Sigma shares with the Masonry the privileges of having a traditional origin, and that these two seeret orders, so far as I know, are the only two that cannot point with historic accuracy to the date of their founding, without resort to tradition — to a time beyond which their written history extends — for a beginning? The Masons date their origin KAPPA SIGMA 11(11 >E. STWTORI) at the building of King Solomon's temple, and the sole and only proofs they have of this tradition are the esoteric teachings in their ritual. What one of you does not know that this tradition — fable, if you please to call it — has made Masonry the greatest secret organization the world has ever known? whose power for good is written upon the history of more than one nation, and because of which it is destined, yet. to endure so long as man himself endures. '"How account you for the marvelous growth of Kappa Sigma, for the loving devotion each of us has for the Star and Crescent, 56 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK the emblem of our order ? Among the youngest of college frater- nities in America, it stands to-day the greatest. Can you doubt for one moment that the living force behind its advance is bound up in its traditional history? If so, open the floodgates of memory and recall how your soul was filled with rapture as the story of her founding was gradually unfolded to you — how, as you learned KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, OREGON the truths taught, as you journeyed towards the City of Letters, a new light and a new life seemed to fill your youthful heart. You were at one with the youth of a bygone age. You shared in spirit the toil and travail of those who, when ignorance, like a pall of death, had settled upon the world, struggled amid the vicissitudes of a crime-ridden nation for light and for truth. And it was then THE EUROPEAN TRADITION 57 you learned in a new and forceful manner, your duty to your fel- low men, the eternal principle of brotherhood, of justice and of love. "Ah, my friends, through this tradition you and I seem, some way and somehow, linked to the brave spirits of that day, who sought to defy the power of might with the power of right; who sought to bring out of darkest night a resplendent day, who KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE. MINNESOTA wrought for others, knowing full well that one can only reach the full measure of greatness by serving his fellow men. I urge you, then, with all the power at my command, to cling to, believe in and live up to this hallowed tradition of Kappa Sigma that comes to us out of the dim past like the first faint breath of spring time, and which, somehow and some way, makes us better and nobler and stronger because thereof. 58 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK "But I like to think that the God of nations and of men held in reserve, from the beginning, another noble mission for our Fra- ternity — the mission of aiding in binding up and healing the wounds of a nation — and it has ever seemed to me that Kappa Sigma's refounding, after it has winged its gentle way across the dread Atlantic, was prophetic of its mission and lends verity to its early legends.

It was not, however, until 1873, that the mother Chapter took up the extension movement in earnest. In that year a Chapter was placed by Dr. James H. Durham at Trinity College, North Carolina, drawing its members mainly from the old Hesperian Society of that college. From that dav to this, time has wit- ' HEADQUARTERS AT BROWN A section of this Dormitory is occupied by Kappa Sigma only nessed a continual increase in the number of Chapters and the annals of Kappa Sigma, one of the youngest of the great college societies, have been no less brilliant than those of any ■other Greek letter organization. It was but natural that the Fraternity should first plant suc- cessful Chapters in the South, for there were the friends and kinsmen of its members. Besides, the war had disrupted nearly all college organizations in that section, the field for the running was open to Kappa Sigma equally with older fraternities, the colleges were of the high type of the old-time classical discipline, EXTENSION OF THE FRATERNITY 63 and fraternity material in the Southern homes of the most in- tensely thoroughbred of Americans was of the best. Notable as are the founders for their connections, so also may this be re- marked of all the Fraternity's early members, for no society had brethren of higher social status than did Kappa Sigma in all her early years. Among those who assisted in building tip the organ- ization may be found the sons of such men as Presidents John Tyler and Jefferson Davis, Generals Albert Sidney Johnston, Joe Wheeler. Walker, Taliaferro.

The chapter rolls of the first Southern Chapters are rosters of the names of the first families of the South. A number were the sons of men prominent in the history of other fraternities. Before Kappa Sigma had a Northern Chapter, she had eleven institutional seats in the South — at Virginia, the keystone of Southern education, with its graduates influencing America, the Harvard of the South ; Alabama, whose sons have illustrated the history of the state ; Trinity, the favored child of North Carolina 64 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK Methodism ; Emory and Henry, beloved of Virginia Methodism ; Washington and Lee, with its famous graduates in all sections of the history of the South, the West, and the nation, and loved almost as is Virginia ; Virginia Military Institute, the "West Point of the South ;" Virginia Polytechnic Institute, the first technical school in the South ; Maryland, one of the oldest of American medical schools and most popular; Mercer, representative of KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, ILLINOIS the Baptists in the lower South ; Vanderbilt, prosperous and favored of a rich benefactor; Tennessee, the sucessor of Blount College, one of the oldest colleges of the South. All of these Chapters save Virginia Polytechnic, Emory and Henry, and Vir- ginia Military Institute are alive to-day, and these three were killed only by anti-fraternity laws^ The founders knew well how to cultivate vitality and to choose institutions. All of these and our later Southern Kappa Sigma colleges are adornments EXTENSION OF THE FRATERNITY 65 to our Chapter roll.

The tone of their student KAPPA SICMA HOUSE. CASE bodies is unexcelled in the United States. With the prosperity of the new South, even many are becoming rich in money. The only period not of the highest prosperity known to the Fra- ternity was the college generation of four years from 1880 to 1884. This was due to no lack of interest among Kappa Sigmas, but to a peculiarly sad and universal condition of a lack of pros- perity of Kappa Sigma colleges in the unsettled condition of the 66 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK South, and to assaults, by anti-fraternity laws, on Kappa Sigma Chapters. In the movement into Southern colleges, the name of the im- mortal Kappa Sigma, Stephen Alonzo Jackson — "Lon Jackson" — is enshrined in the heart of every Kappa Sig. The son of a banker, a mystic, an idealist, and advanced in Masonry, this STEPHEN ALONZO JACKSON golden-hearted Virginian ruined his fortune in behalf of the Order. "S. A. Jackson Day," the fourth of March, was ordered to be regularly observed among Kappa Sigmas, by the Richmond Grand Conclave of 1894. It was not until 1880 that Kappa Sigma established a Chapter in the North. Then it was that a number of the members of the Zeta Epsilon literary society at Lake Forest petitioned for 68 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK and received a charter. This was the first Northern Chapter of a fraternity of Southern origin. The Chapter survived only till 1882, for knowledge of membership in it meant expulsion from the college. A second petition for a Chapter at another Northern college was received from an organization which had withdrawn from its general fraternity, but this petition was rejected. In KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, LAKE FOREST 1885, a Chapter was organized at Purdue. From this point on- ward is a history of the conquest of the North and West. The Fraternity now has the longest roll of all the fraternities — seven- ty-six Chapters. It has the widest geographical distribution of the fraternities, being represented in more states of the Union than any other — having Chapters in thirty-five states, the Dis- trict of Columbia and the coming state of Oklahoma.

The Fraternity early observed the decadence of many of the old KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, MISSOURI sectarian colleges in the North, where fraternities in the past had most of their chapters, and shunned them. At the same time, she prophesied the splendid future of the state institutions — the result of the congressional acts of 1862 and later — and other institutions founded since the civil war. Fraternities of Northern origin in these places had no more prestige due to the age of their chapters than did Kappa Sigma. The fraternity thus found opportunities in the North and West similar to those she had met in the South — the best universities, and these not overcrowd- ed by Greek letter societies. At present in the leading seats of American educational progress — the state schools, colleges, and EXTENSION OF THE FRATERNITY universities — Kappa Sigma has a larger number of Chapters than any other fraternity. Nearly fifty per cent of them are so located. She is also represented in all but four of the twenty universities in the United States having the largest enrollment — Harvard. Columbia, California, Northwestern, Michigan, .Minnesota, Cor- nell, Illinois, Yale, Chicago, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Syracuse. New York, Ohio State, Missouri, Princeton, Indiana, George Washington and Stanford. ( )f these four — Princeton, Columbia. Northwestern and Yale — Princeton does not admit fraternities. Alumni familiar with the situation in the next two institutions mentioned, in New York and Chicago respectively, have repeat- KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE. edly advised against entering Columbia or Northwestern. Both are crowded with fraternities, and conditions at Columbia seem to demand the ownership of a very costly house to start with. No movement looking toward Yale has ever received encourage- ment, for reasons recently expressed by President Hadley of that university — "A large part of the fraternities are not even known by their Greek-letter names. . . . When I want to know what is the Greek-letter name of any organization, I have to look it up in the Yale Banner. Even those societies like Delta Kappa Epsilon or Psi Upsilon, which have retained their Greek-letter names in common parlance, are never known as fraternities, but 72 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK as societies ; and when they go to conventions the delegates have to cram up on purpose to find out what is the grip, or what the Greek-letters stand for, or any other supposed secrets of the fraternity." Kappa Sigma was the pioneer fraternity of Southern origin in the seven Northern states of Maine, New Hampshire, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Minnesota. This does not take into account the powers extended to Dr. George Miles Arnold in 1871, by the Virginia Chapter to initiate from New York City colleges. Kappa Sigma has been the pioneer fra- 1 |ss^Ba»^ LcH -****» ■■HI HI Lff HI in] PQHK mil Ji j^_ IfiPflKj KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, PENNSYLVANIA ternity of Southern origin in fifteen Northern colleges : Bowdoin, Case, Dartmouth, Illinois, Indiana, Lake Forest, Maine, Minne- sota, New Hampshire, New York, Purdue, Swarthmore, Syra- cuse, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. She has been the second oldest fraternity of Southern origin in a number of Northern institutions, having been preceded by Alpha Tau Omega at Brown, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Washington and Jefferson ; and similarly preceded by Sigma Alpha Epsilon at Harvard, Bucknell and Dickinson, and by Sigma Nu at the University of Iowa. An examination of the history of Kappa Sigma's Chapter roll — North, South, and West — shows that at present or at some EXTENSION OF THE FRATERNITY 73 time in their careers, twenty-two of her Chapters arc or have been the first chapters founded or the oldest chapters on account of continuous existence in their respective universities. Many Chapters have been formed from local and other so- cieties, thus giving a Chapter an element of stability at its incep- tion, this policy being as marked in Kappa Sigma as in any other Fraternity. Vet it has never sought to add the names of United States senators and other prominent men to its alumni lists by enrolling them without initiation or active affiliation — an abuse in some fraternities. Indeed, conservatism in this regard led to the hreaking off of negotiations for union of Kappa Sigma with two other general fraternities. Until 1902, the initiation of alumni of local societies was prohibited ; since then under certain restrictions it has been permitted. Those Chapters formed from other societies are: Emory and Henry (Phi Mu Omicron), 1 Washington and Lee, as reestablished in 1904 (Mu Pi Lambda), 2 Lake Forest (Lambda Phi), 3 Grant, as reestab- lished (The Secret Fraternity) ; Hampden-Sidney (Phi Mu Gamma) ; Maine (K. K. F. — Roman letter) ; Bucknell (Phi Ep- 1 Some of the members of the 'Emory and Henry chapter and several members of other chapters of Phi Mu Omicron were admitted into Kappa Sigma in 1879. This society was founded at South Carolina College in 1858. and is the second oldest of the defunct societies of Southern origin. It also had chapters at Wofford, Charleston, Emory, Newberry, and Emory and Henry. Its badge was a monogram of the letters comprising the name of the society. Members of the first southern Kappa Alpha joined Phi Mu Omicron in 1866. Kukloi Adelphon or "circles" nourished as select organizations among the southern gentry before the war in the colleges and also in the "court" towns or county seats in Alabama, Virginia, Ken- tucky and other southern states. After the war, in the Reconstruction period, these kukloi formed a basis for the Ku Klux Klan. " The Washington and Lee chapter of Mu Pi Lambda was the mother chapter of that fraternity, founded in 1895, and also having chapters at Virginia, Harvard, West Virginia, and William and Mary. At Jefferson's home. "'Monticello," Virginia, in 1904, the society disbanded. The William and Man- chapter joined Theta Delta Chi ; part of the Virginia chapter joined Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Sigma. Its badge was a five-sided shield displaying the letters, Mu Pi Lambda, beneath an eye and above the skull and bones. It published a quarterly, the Archon. ' Lambda Phi was a continuation of the well-known "Suicide Club" of Lake Forest. 74 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK silon) ; William Jewell (Pi Alpha Theta) ; New Hampshire (Q. T.

G. K.) ; 3 Dartmouth (Beta Gamma) ; Harvard (Pi Upsilon) ; Idaho (Sigma Delta Alpha) ; Oklahoma (Alpha Delta Sigma). When the Michigan Chapter was founded its membership was at first confined to the law school, similar to Sigma Chi in that University. The few and short periods of inactivity of Kappa Sigma Chap- ters are remarkable to contemplate. Of the large fraternities having over fifty Chapters, Kappa Sigma has the smallest per- centage of dead or inactive Chapters. A number of the Chapters have become victims of anti- fraternity legislation. Those at Vir- ginia Military Institute, Emory and Henry and the ATrginia Polytechnic Institute were forced out through these regulations. The Alabama Chapter was killed by anti-fraternity laws shortly after its foundation, and was revived in 1899. Hostile legislation caused the inactivity of the Vanderbilt Chapter from 1880 to 1885, although anti- fraternity laws prevailed from the foundation of the university in 1875. The Lake Forest Chapter was also inactive on account of hostile legislation from 1882 to 1896. The inactivity of the South Carolina Chapter commenced with Senator Ben Tillman's anti-fraternity legislation in the South Carolina Legislature in 1897. Exclusiveness caused the Washington and Lee Chapter to be- 4 Q. T. V. was the first technical fraternity to have more than one chap- ter, being founded at Massachusetts State College, in 1869.

The Pennsylvania State chapter joined Phi Kappa Sigma and the Maine chapter joined Phi Gamma Delta. The fraternity published a handsome quarto journal from Boston and a cata- logue in 1886. The badge was a diamond-shaped slab upon which is en- graved a monogram of the letters "Q. T. V." 6 This society, established in 1868 at Massachusetts State, was the first technical fraternity ever founded. It published a catalogue in 1879 and issued for many years an annual called the Cycle, which it continues. EXTENSION OF THE FRATERNITY 75 come inactive in 1S77.

It was revived in 1898 and from that date has been very successful. By agreement, all fraternities, owing to the fact they were supposed to be ruining the literary societies, withdrew from Trinity in 1879; the Chapter was revived in 1892. The Chapters at Grant and West Virginia were discontinued, the first for lack of material, the second on account of local difficulties. Internal dissensions affecting the Indianapolis or Butler Chapter, 76 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK caused its withdrawal. The Chapter at Emory College was dis- continued on account of failure of members to return to college and the desire of the Fraternity not to remain in the institution, the last Kappa Sigma being valedictorian of his class. Several causes led to the withdrawal of the Indiana Chapter in 1888 : the Chapter was reestablished in 1900, and prospers. The Chapter at Centenarv was the first established there after the Civil War. KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, WISCONSIN but was withdrawn in 1904 on account of the decline of the col- lege, due to agitation over its removal. The Chapters at Ohio Northern and Thatcher Institute were withdrawn because these colleges were not considered to be up to the full American collegi- ate standard. The Chapter at Bethel College surrendered its charter on account of lack of suitable material. The Mercer Chapter was withdrawn in 1879 during a wretched period in the college's history, and was installed again in 1891. The Chapter EXTENSION OF THE FRATERNITY 77 at Kentucky State College is regarded as a continuation of the Chapter at Kentucky University, the latter having been with- drawn on account of the desire not to have two Chapters in the same town. The Chapter at North Georgia College surrendered its charter with a decline of the institution. When the Maryland Military and Naval Academy, the most important military insti- tute of private foundation ever established in the country, was financially wrecked by its officers in 1887, the Chapter there ceased to exist. The Fraternity's relations with other societies have been cor- dial. The first numbers in the following give the number of all the Chapters of various fraternities met by Kappa Sigma, and the second numbers the percentage of such Chapters to the entire Chapter roll of each fraternity: Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 45, 68 per cent ; Phi Delta Theta, 41, 59 per cent ; Sigma Nu, 36, 65 per cent ; Beta Theta Pi, 33, 49 per cent ; Phi Gamma Delta, 33, 58 per cent ; Kappa Alpha (Southern Order), 33, 67 per cent; Sigma Chi, 31, 57 per cent; Delta Tau Delta, 27, 56 per cent; Alpha Tau Omega, 2 7» 53 P er cent; Phi Kappa Psi, 23, 55 per cent; Pi Kappa Al- pha, 21, J2 per cent; Phi Kappa Sigma, 18, J2 per cent; Delta Kappa Epsilon, 16, 39 per cent; Delta Upsilon, 16, 44 per cent; Psi Upsilon, 12, 55 per cent; Zeta Psi, 12, 55 per cent; Theta Delta Chi, 12, 50 per cent; Chi Phi, 11, 55 per cent; Chi Psi, 10, 56 per cent; Alpha Delta Phi, 9, 38 per cent; Phi Sigma Kappa, 8, 42 per cent; Sigma Phi Epsilon, 5, 38 per cent; Sigma Phi, 4, 50 per cent ; Delta Phi, 4, 36 per cent ; Delta Psi, 2, 25 per cent ; Kappa Alpha (Northern Order), 2, 29 per cent; Alpha Chi Rho, 2. 33 per cent. Kappa Sigma has always opposed "lifting," repeatedly re- fusing propositions of this kind, although when such a practice was considered legitimate, in 1880, it took several members of the Virginia Polytechnic Chapter of Beta Theta Pi, after the Betas had surrendered their charter. However, the giving up of the charter was in no way influenced by Kappa Sigma. The charge that Kappa Sigma lifted the Iowa Chapter of Alpha Chi Rho is unsupported by facts. The Phi Epsilon Society of Buck- nell, which became a Chapter of Kappa Sigma, was formed some KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, CALIFORNIA EXTENSION OF THE FRATERNITY 79 time before by members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who had with- drawn, they asserted, for just cause, from the latter fraternity. In 1904, membership in the sophomore society of Thcta Nu Ep- silon was prohibited. The names of Kappa Sigmas may be found in all other famous inter-class local and professional fra- ternities. A Kappa Sigma, Dean Charles W. Burkett of N. C. A. and M., founded the technical fraternity Alpha Zeta. Another Kappa Sigma, Powell C. Fauntleroy, of the U. S. Navy, was one of the founders of Pi Mu, the first medical fraternity of Southern origin. One of the founders of Chi Omega, a prosperous national sorority of Southern origin, was Dr. Charles Richardson, of Arkansas. The following is the Chapter roll of Kappa Sigma.

While some fra- ternities count their disloyal members by dozens and even by Chapters, Kappa Sigma has had but a few isolated cases where an undergraduate left the Fraternity to join another. These sep- arate cases occurred a number of years ago in the North, while the Fraternity was young. Thus, this congenial society of scholars and gentlemen do not allow their fraternal associations to die when they leave their universities. Good-fellowship, and not scholastic pedantry alone, was emphasized by the American founders. There are Alumni Clubs all over the country where dinners and dances keep up a delightful friendship. Toasts to Kappa Sigma have been heard at dinner at all the famous resorts from the Palace Hotel in San Francisco to the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and from the Auditorium in Chicago to the St. Charles in New Orleans. Many of these events are becoming traditional, such as the "Norfolk Fish Fry,'' the "Dutch Treat" at Denver, the "French Dinner" at San Francisco, the "Round Table" at Washington, the "Thanks- giving Dinner" at Kansas City, the "Xew England Initiation Dinner" at Boston, the "Xew York Annual," the "Philadelphia Dinner," the "Big Chicago Dinner," the "Danville New Year's Dinner." and many more. In many of the leading cities — St. Louis, Los Angeles, Seattle, Xew York, Chicago, Salt Lake, Xew Orleans. San Francisco, Washington, Denver, Boston, Pitts- 86 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK burgh and possibly others — it is customary for Kappa Sigmas to meet once a week for lunch in some selected restaurant in the center of the business district.

At one time there were state associations of the Chapters and alumni of Ten- nessee, Louisiana, Texas and Virginia, but these were abandoned when the District system was adopted. A club-house, the first of its kind at Washington, D. C, was supported by the alumni of that city during 1902 and 1903. It was successful, but was temporarily given up in order that a club building more central- THE ALUMNI 87 ly located in the club district might be obtained, a task almost im- possible.

Membership in the Fraternity is restricted. No one may be initiated unless he be a member of the college where there is a Chapter.

The geographical limits of these are shown on accompanying maps. At the head of each is a District Grand Master, lie personally oversees the Chapters, resulting in the complete unification and understanding among them, and keep- ing the work of each individual Chapter up to the standard lie is also expected to know, ami to keep in touch with every alumnus residing in his District. While the greater part of the government is delegated to the THE "CHICAGO SPECIAL" EN ROUTE TO A CRAND CONCLAVE Supreme Executive Committee, still the ultimate and highest authority in the Fraternity is the Grand Conclave. The Con- claves' legislation in the past has been intended to hamper as little as possible the powers of the S. E. C. Conclaves have been held as follows: Baltimore. Md., 1876; Richmond, Va., 1878; Abingdon, Ya., 1880; Knoxville, Tenn., 1883; Lynchburg, Va., 1885; Nashville, Tenn., 1887: Atlanta, Ga., 1888; Baltimore, Md., 1890; Washington, D.

These meetings are usually held al some popular hotel or resort. They have grown into large concourses with hundreds of the silver-grays and undergraduates, with their wives and sweethearts, arriving on special trains and ears from all over the country. The St. Louis 1 [964) Conclave during the World's Fair was one of the largest meetings of Greek letter KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, CHICAGO The G. M's Room men ever assembled. The last (1906) Conclave was held at Lookout Mountain. Tenn., and the next (190S) Conclave will probably be held at Put-in- Bay, Ohio. Detailed accounts and minutes of all the Conclaves may be found in the Caduceus, the Star and Crescent, and various printed reports. There are also District Conclaves, usually held annually in each District. They are informal gatherings for fraternal intercourse Arms of the Fraternity.

The colors of the Fraternity are scarlet, white and emerald green. The Fraternity flower is the lily-of-the-valley. Xo other fraternity pays more attention to visitation of alumni chapters, for a feature of the organization of which much is made consists in keeping the alumni in touch with one another. This visiting is done principally by members of the S. E. C. and D. G. M's. The number of alumni meetings in Kappa Sigma is frequently remarked. HOMES OF KAPPA SIGMA The Fraternity has always insisted upon chapter houses when possible. In [870, the house occupied at the University of Vir- ginia was one of the first fraternity houses in the country and the first fraternity house in the South. In 1882, the house occupied hv the Chapter at the University of the South was among the first houses owned and occupied in that section. In 1883. at the Knoxville Conclave, Kappa Sigma made the first attempt to control the building of houses, by the national organization of a fraternity. This was a failure, and it has since been the policy to place responsibility on the individual Chapters. In 1895, Kap- pa Sigma erected a house at Maine, the Fraternity's first Northern chapter house to he owned and the first fraternity house in the state of Maine. The three fraternities now having the largest number of homes are Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, and Kappa Sigma. It is but a matter of time before all Chapters, where there are no restrictions by college authorities, even if houses arc not the vogue, will lie compelled by their general organizations to possess a home. At present there are Kappa Sigma houses at the following institutions: Maine, Bowdoin, New Hampshire, Massachusetts State, Harvard, Cornell. Syracuse, Pennsylvania State. Pennsylvania. Lehigh. Maryland, George Washington, William and Mary, Wofford, Vanderbilt, University of the South, ( )hio State, Case, Washington and Jefferson, Michigan, Purdue, Indiana, Illinois. Lake Forest, Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa. Nebraska. William Jewell, Missouri State. Missouri Mines. Baker, Arkansas. Oklahoma, Millsaps. Louisiana State, Texas, Colorado. Colorado Mines. Stanford. California, Washington. 108 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK Oregon, Idaho. Some Chapters occupy whole sections of college dormitories. Some of the houses are noted in the fraternity world. That at one Eastern institution has been described as "the best planned at Cornell" ; that at Texas, "the best house owned in the South" ; that at Iowa, "the most elegant house in the Middle West" ; that at Stanford "the finest house on the Pacific Coast." Some of them have been historic. One recently occupied by the Maryland Chapter was the Baltimore home of General Robert E. Lee. The one now occupied at Missouri Mines was the headquarters of the KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, CORNELL Army of the Missouri during the civil war. The Harvard house at Cambridge, Mass., and the William and Mary at Williamsburg, the ancient capital of Virginia, both stand on historic ground. At the California and Colorado houses, in the midst of the two American playgrounds, many alumni visit, making these Kappa Sigma seats their headquarters. More or less all the houses in the large centers are on many occasions utilized for this purpose. The Virginia Chapter and the remainder of the Fraternity have collected funds for a house for the mother Chapter as a memorial, to be known as "McCormick Hall." U B The publications of the Fraternity are extensive. From the lit- tle pamphlet struck off on a press of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute by Dr. C. E. Wingo and William Freneau Page, they have grown to the point where the periodical literature alone is over a thousand pages annually, probably a larger amount than of any other fraternity. Believing that a wide acquaintance among its members is one of its sources of strength, the organization fosters all efforts of this kind. The most important publication of any Greek letter society is its magazine ; in the case of Kappa Sigma known as The Caduceus. Previous to 1878, there had been several spasmodic attempts by various fraternities to found magazines, but with two excep- tions, these were unsuccessful and but a few numbers were is- sued. The period from 1878 to 1885 saw productions of this kind placed on a sound basis, although most of those established by the New England fraternities have since failed. At first, it was argued that Kappa Sigma was of too secret a nature for an open publication. However, the Lynchburg Conclave of 1885 author- ized the issuance of the Kappa Sigma Quarterly. Brought up in the cultivated and literary home of his father, General Terry of the Confederacy, Frank Hanson Terry, now a newspaper man of Wytheville, Va., was elected the first editor. In 1887, Ed. L. Sutton, now managing editor of the Semi-Weekly Atlanta Journal, became editor, and continued as such till the Baltimore Conclave of 1890. This convention made the magazine a bi-monthly, and changed its name to The Star and Crescent, rechristened be- fore issue The Caduceus of Kappa Sigma. During 1891, Duncan Martin, now of the Memphis bar, was editor. From 1892 to 1895. 112 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK the brilliant but erring George William Warner was editor. J. Harry Covington, of the Maryland bar, was editor from 1895 to 1905. During 1905 and until June, 1906, Professor Finis King Farr, of Cumberland, was in charge. The last and present edi- tor is Guy T. Viskniskki, of the McClure News Syndicate. The Caduceus is now in its twenty-first volume. It has never less than 176 pages in each of its five issues for the year. At least forty pages are given to alumni notes. Due notice is taken KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, IDAHO of all important college and fraternity matters, the interests of Kappa Sigma receiving the most attention. Illustrations are abundantly used, the five numbers of 1905-1906 containing two hundred and forty half-tones. It has been pronounced the peer of any magazine ever issued from the Greek press. It is also among those claiming the honor of the largest circulation. The first Catalogue of the Fraternity was prepared in 1881 by S. A. Jackson. Another edition by Brother Jackson appeared in 1886. In 1897 was published a Directory of Kappa Sigma, by THE PUBLICATIONS 113 George Vaughan, now of the Arkansas bar. For a number of years a history and catalogue, complete in every detail, was in course of collection by this gentleman. I lad this catalogue been published, it would have been in some respects one of the most complete ever issued by a college fraternity] Kappa Sigma began at a very early date after her origin to collect the "college honors" of her membership, which honors are lacking for early members KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, TEXAS in most fraternity catalogues. All of these records were com- pletely destroyed by fire at Little Rock, Ark. The accident was peculiarly unfortunate. In 1904 a pocket Address Book was pub- lished under the direction of David F. Hoy, registrar of Cornell University and now Catalogue Editor of the Fraternity. In 1906 Brother Hoy issued a second and enlarged edition of the Address Book. He has collected complete data for another 114 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK catalogue, which will contain some new features in fraternity cataloguing, and which will be published at the will of the Su- preme Executive Committee. The blanks for this catalogue contained the following questions : Full name without initials ; Chapter ; permanent address ; occupation ; date of initiation ; date of birth ; place of birth ; full name and address of father ; full maiden name and KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, SYRACUSE •address of mother ; full maiden name of wife ; full name and address of wife's father ; date and place of marriage ; full names in order of birth and addresses of all children ; names of prepara- tory schools and dates of attendance ; names of colleges and dates of attendance ; degrees received — colleges and dates ; member- ship in college fraternities and societies ; college honors, prizes, scholarships, athletics, etc. ; membership in learned, fraternal, and ■other non-college societies ; list of books and articles published ; THE PUBLICATIONS 115 political positions and places of trusl wl erence to any publication containing 1> information; names and addresses of name and address of personal friend dress; remarks: signature; business addi residence address; date oi information.

The Fraternity, like four others, issues a secret bulletin in addition to its regular magazine. This is The Star and Crescent, which appears quarterly. It contains reports of officers, and other official communications to the Fraternity, items of fraternity news of such a nature that their publication in The Caduceus would be improper, and in general all such things as concern the inner workings of the Fraternity. A unique publication is The Secret Book of Kappa Sigma. It gives. 116 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK from a Kappa Sigma standpoint, of course, the "standing" or "rating" of all fraternities and of the chapters of each fraternity in Kappa Sigma colleges. Reports of Chapters and circular re- ports of various offices of the Fraternity are voluminous. The Yell on.' Journal is issued from the office of the Worthy Grand Master, and circulates onl> among the national officers. All Chapters are required at least annually, to send out a letter to their alumni, most of these letters being printed. The Boston Alumni have published an address book of the alumni of New England. There are other locality directories published under KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, NEBRASKA different auspices for states and cities. The Cumberland, Maine, North Georgia, Maryland Military and Naval, Wofford and Massachusetts Chapters have issued annuals. The Chapters at the University of the South, Centenary, and Vermont have writ- ten histories. The Illinois, Swarthmore, Wabash, Purdue and Massachusetts Chapters have issued catalogues. The general Fraternity has had printed Kappa Sigma calendars. In 1896 the Bowdoin Chapter issued a small songbook. A songbook was published by the Fraternity in 1902. Another is in process of collection. There are a number of pamphlets containing Kappa Sigma songs and poems. There are three editions of the ritual THE PUBLICATIONS 17 and five editions of the Constitution. Many reports of Conclaves have been printed under separate covers. Kappa Sigma has been very fortunate in the preservation of its history. This has been chiefly due to the fact that it was but twelve years between the time the third Chapter was established, the records of the second Chapter having been lost, and the ap- pearance of the Fraternity's magazine. Also the early documents, KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE. WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON so frequently missing in many fraternities, were all collected and preserved at an early date. The events in the Fraternity's his- tory, previous to the existence of the magazine, which have not been covered by historical articles in the Quarterly, Caduceus, Star and Crescent, and catalogues, are preserved in the recently pub- lished Early Letters and Papers of Kappa Sigma, compiled by Boutwell Dunlap. now historian of the Fraternity. Freshmen are e>&mined upon the Fraternity's history. OTHER FRATERNITIES Some years ago it was customary to classify fraternities on a basis of their origin, into Eastern or Northern, Southern and Western. They are now usually classified as either national or sectional. "The national fraternities include those generally represented in all sections of the country. Of these Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Psi, and I 'hi Gamma Delta are prominent types. The sectional fraternities are Eastern and Southern. The (•".astern group consists of Alpha Delta Phi, Delta Phi Theta, Delta Chi. Sigma Phi. Psi Upsilon, Kappa Alpha (Northern) and Delta Psi. The Southern group includes Kappa xAlpha (Southern order), and Pi Kappa Alpha. Delta Kappa Epsilon and Chi Psi, originating in the Eastern States, have what might he termed a limited national development. Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, originally distinctively Southern, have completely lost that character. Zeta Psi and Chi Psi are difficult to classify." (Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities, Sixth edition.) The sectional fraternities were once more important than they now are. In most cases they have few petitions for charters and seldom es- tablish new chapters. They have failed to take advantage of the larger new- institutions, maintaining many chapters in unimpor- tant colleges. Their conventions are attended by a small number of members. Lacking in alumni clubs, they hold but few meet- ings in the large centers, and these seldom attract any attention. The fraternities are not a living reality to their alumni and the alumnus' active connection is soon lost. Their literature is con- fined to catalogues, which quickly grow out of date, and they publish no magazines. The funds and membership are not suf- 120 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK ficient to carry on the enterprises of the national orders. As fraternities they attract little attention. Collegians prefer the national fraternities, says a recent writer of authority upon the subject. The parent stem of the Greek letter college fraternity was Phi Beta Kappa, established at William and Mary in 1776. 6 It was extended to Yale (1780), Harvard (1781), Dartmouth (1787), and Union (1817). Modeled after Phi Beta Kappa was fc^kt KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE, WOFFORD the Kappa Alpha Society, the first Greek letter society in the pres- ent sense of the word, founded in 1825, to which ascent can be traced all the American college fraternities.

Although not in all respects satisfactory, the best general sketch of fraternities is the sixth edition of William Raimond Baird's American College Fraternities. The following fraternities have published manuals or histories: Psi Upsilon, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Theta Delta Chi, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Kappa Sigma. There is historical matter, principally devoted to chapter histories and ranging from a para- graph to several pages on a chapter, in the catalogues of Alpha Delta Phi, Chi Phi, Chi Psi, Delta Upsilon, Kappa Alpha (North- ern Order), Kappa Alpha (Southern Order), Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, Sig- ma Phi and Zeta Psi. Other important historical sources are the magazines — published by Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Kappa Alpha (Southern Order), Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, and Theta Delta Chi. The best defense of fraternities is a collection of views upon the subject by forty-eight college presidents under the title, The American College Fraternity, edited by W. A. Crawford, K. S. The most complete bibliography of fraternities is contained in W. B. Palm- er's History of Phi Delta Theta. 128 THE KAPPA SIGMA BOOK Familiar tongues that faintly call, Remembered songs of days gone by, Dim echoes, they too softly fall On ears that hunger for reply; For memory wakes and love makes cry In tones of greeting and of praise, 'To you I drain the health-cup dry, Old comrades of my college days."

Good cheer and blessing to ye all, Old friends of days that shall not die: Like sunbeams dancing on the wall May all the happy moments fly. Companions still, may ye and I, Though straying far on several ways, Remember well the days gone by, Old comrades of my college days. But, Brothers, as the seasons fly, While bright the Star and Crescent blaze, Still closer grows our nearer tie, Old comrades of my college days. James S. Wilson (Nu).
