The Delta Upsilon Quarterly

Google

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for general ions on library shelves before il was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project

to make the world's books discoverable online.

Il has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often diflicult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

publisher to a library and finally to you.

Usage guidelines

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parlies, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the plus We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a b<x>k is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other

countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means il can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

" The Quarterly is easily the peer of any fraternity journal ever published."
—Phi Kappa Psi Shield, October, 1889.

'•We could better part with any fraternity magazine published than with
this same Delta U" — Phi Gamma Delta Quarterly, September, 1889.

"The Delta Upsilon.Quarterly, as a society organ, is unexcelled. It con-
tains much interesting matter for even those not members of this society.' ' —
Exchange.

front rank of the Greek press." — Sigma Chi Quarterly, February, 1889.

" The Delta Upsilon Quarterly is the very best and most thoroughly fra-
ternity journal on our list. Bristling with news and full of life, it is at once a

— Sigma Alpha Epsilon Record, November, 1889.

HORSFORD'S ACID PHOSPHATE.

Prepared according io ihe direction of Prof. E. N. Horsfobd.

This preparation is a brain food. It increases the capacity for
mental labor, and acts as a general tonic and vitalizer. It rests the
tired brain, and imparts thereto new life and energy.
Dr. D. P..McClure, Rantoul, III., says:

"Very beneficial to strengthen the intellect."
Dr. O. C. Stout, Syracuse, N. Y., says:

"I gave it to one patient who was unable to transact the most ordinary busi-
ness, because his brain was ' tired and confused ' upon the least mental exertion,
Immediate benefit, and ultimate recovery followed."

The Magnificent Atelier of New York's Most Popular

Artist, FREDRICKS.

TT is a fact beyond question that the most beautiful and unique
establishment ever opened in the United States in connection
with the progress and development of the art of photography, is the
new gallery or atelier of Fredricks, at his old address, at Broadway
and Ninth Street For months past passers by have noticed the
extensive alterations going on, and innumerable have been the com*
ments made upon the enterprise that was being displayed by the
popular proprietor.

Mr. Fredricks has spared neither time, money, or labor to make
this a place veritably " sui generis," and visitors will find that right
nobly has he succeeded. It is not proposed to enter upon a lengthy
description of the interior decoration of the place, the purpose being
rather to suggest to lovers of the beautiful the desirability of paying a
visit to it.

That Mr. Fredricks is one of the great master minds of the
photographic profession is a thing known all over the country. His
work is characterized by the impress of the true fire of artistic genius,
and the productions of his competitors often appear to be of a merely
mechanical and chemical character when compared with it.

WAX-WINGS OR SAILS?

A CHAT WITH FRESH GRADUATES.
By William Elliot Griffis, D.D., Rutgers, 'dp.

My fancy has always been captivated by the story of Ikarus, the son
of the famous inventor in classic mythology. Daedalus, the father,
was, as all students of Greek know, an inventor. Had he lived in our
day, he would have kept the clerks of the Patent office busy in issuing
patents for his various Yankee notions. The wedge, the axe, the
wimble, or gimlet, the level, and the sails of ships are said to have
been his inventions. Like some patentees of our day, he was jealous
of a rival ; but, instead of lawsuits or buying off a competitor, he took
the shorter way of throwing him out of the window. Compelled to
abscond, on account of his curt method of doing things, he fled to
Crete, where he built for Minos the famous labyrinth.

There is a further story of his meddling with Pasiphae, and a bull,
which may have had some reference to the Wall street and stock mar-

4 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

ket of that island. Possibly, Dxdalus may have persuaded the queen
to sell the royal bonds and mortgages on a rising market At any
rate, Minos ordered the smart inventor to be punished by confinement
within his own labyrinth. There, with his son Ikarus, he was left, and
father and child were as hopelessly entangled, as Minos thought, as
two flies in a spider's web.

Not so, thought this inventive genius. Forthwith he set his son and
himself to catch birds ; and, like the busy bee (of College song only) to
' * gather beeswax all the day. " Then, with twigs and branches, he
constructed wings out of the feathers and wax. Carefully fitting them
to his own and his son's bodies as aerial life-preservers for a voyage in
the atmospheric ocean, they took their flight from Crete. Keen and
shrewd, cool and diligent in attending to his machine, getting in the
right air-currents and cool breezes, and keeping away from that dan-
gerous fellow Phoebus, the father reached Kumae. There he had his
suit of wax and feathers, and all his flying machinery, and himself, put
on exhibition in a dime museum. He thus raised a considerable sum
of money. With this, he invested immediately in real estate. He
purchased some neglected lots in one part of the city, and forthwith
built to Apollo such a handsome, well-ventilated temple, with all the
latest improvements, that the price of lots all around the neighbor-
hood went up immediately. Speculators bought up all his land at
enormous prices, and thus, in a few months, this once poverty-stricken
immigrant rolled in wealth. Thence he went to Sicily, where King
Kokalus received him kindly, and where he left many monuments of
his ingenuity. He was a blessing to mankind, and a civilizer.

But what of Ikarus? Alas for the young man who trusted too
much to what others had done for him, and who neglected to do for
himself wisely. Pluming himself on being the son of his father, the
great inventor, and full of conceit at being able to do what unwinged
biped mortals, unassisted by the gods, could not do, he scorned his
father's advice to beware of failure either through too much pride or
lack of care. He let his wings and the siren breezes carry him as
they would, instead of straining every muscle for low-flying, wise ad-
vantage of every puff of wind, and straight course for Kumae. Get-
ting beyond the voice and influence of Daedalus, the hot rays of Phoe-
bus melted the wax on his wings, and one by one the feathers moulted
with alarming rapidity, until down he plunged into the sea and was

WAX-WINGS OR SAILS. 5

drowned. He was never heard of again, though some people, either
cynical or compassionate, gave his name to that part of the ocean still
called the Ikarian Sea.

Now, fellow graduates, whether it be the Cretans (of whom one
Saul of Tarsus had a specific opinion), or the Sicilians, or Diodoras
Siculus, or Ovid, who tell this story (which we have slightly embroid-
ered), there are others, less poetical and more matter-of-fact, who trans-
late this classic tale not according to Harper or Bohn. They insist that
it means only that Daedalus was the inventor of sails, and that the
whole yarn is a story of " white wings," a mere "yachting romance."
Just as the Dutchman from the Shawangunk Mountains, on first seeing-
Fulton's steamboat going up the Hudson, went home to tell his wife
how he saw the devil going up the river in a saw-mill, so the people
of Kumae thought boats equipped with sails were winged. They
were a little ahead, in point of time, of the Indians, who imagined
Columbus or Hendrick Hudson was a modern Daedalus careering on
colossal pinions.

Father Daedalus did not rest on past laurels or attainments ; he
attended to his business, minded rudder, yard, rope and tackling;
watched the wind, kept his seams well calked, and, in spite of hot
weather and the malignant forces of the air, came duly to port

Ikarus, idly supposing that after such hard work in building and
equipment, no further serious care was needed, let his boat drift.
Whether the sun melted the wax or pitch out of the seams of his boat,
or a squall upset his boat, no witness by word of mouth, or deponent
in affidavit hath stated. Certain it was that the craft capsized and
Ikarus became a corpse.

True, also, it is,, that here are two contrasting types of men, one
inventive, alert, wide-awake, energetic, never sagging down into routine,
never becoming an old fogy, but young and fresh in mind to the
last Utilizing every opportunity, self-dependent, yet ever helpful of
others, Daedalus is the man who keeps his garden and dresses it,
makes the world better than he found it He is not satisfied, even when
he has graduated from college, or even after he has taken many prizes.
He forgets the things which are behind, and presses onward, prompt to
seize every opportunity. The world's work is done by such men, and
by them the race lifted up.

Ikarus is the type of the man who lives on the momentum which.

6 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

others have given him, until he tumbles and is heard of no more. He
is like those college graduates who keep up nobly in the race while
under the inspiring influences of professors and fellows, and then sink
so deeply into the sea of oblivion that only an exploring expedition,
well equipped with divers and bells, can find them. Forgetting that
the elan, the glow of college life, is and was something made not by
them, but for and before them, they imagine that they need, after gradua-
tion, only to let themselves move along by perpetual motion. They
imagine that a diploma is a storage battery, when in reality it is only
wax and hide. Before they are aware, despite their ambition and
desires, they fall like Ikarus, never to mount again, for opportunity
has been left behind.

The philosophy of success is a favorite topic on the commence-
ment stage, when students come to oratorical culmination. They
stand higher then, many of them, than they will ever stand again.
The day 6f flowers and music and congratulations is to very many the
zenith of a Ikarian flight They forget that their wings have been
furnished them. The audience, the triumph, the tokens of honor
have been made for then!, not by them.

The philosophy of failure is worthy of serious study. Twenty
years of life after commencement day are very apt to teach some
truths, by many painful object lessons. Why so many men, college
friends, brothers, companions still in the ruts of unprogressive routine?
Why so many mossbacks ? Why so many under a perpetually cloudy
sky ? Why so many utter failures among educated men ? We do not
think here of those who by sorrow, sickness, or calamity have grown
weary of the march of life, but those who have, for no sound reason,
disappointed themselves, and their friends more.

Yet, do we not see young men who, in college were eager and alert,
go out and bury themselves ? They either deliberately or unwittingly
cut themselves off from their acquaintances of college, of fraternity, of
church, of literary club, in a word from people of ideas and stimulus.
They stay away from lectures and meetings where people gather and
where ideas are exchanged, and where human nature rubs off unneces-
sary corners. It is by social contact that man improves, as pig iron is
refined into the best steel.

Others draw themselves away from active centers, from currents
and movements of humanity. Too often they do this in the belief

WAX-WINGS OR SAILS. 7

that their abilities are so great, their genius so marked, that exploriag
expeditions will be fitted out to recover them. What insanity of self-
conceit !

Silly notions and narrow views as to what is "economy" have
something to do with what issues in waste of life and energy. Often
students leave college in debt, or with little to start on. Hence, they
most foolishly and wastefully deny themselves books, papers, maga-
zines devoted to their profession, or for general culture, because they
cannot see the money immediately returning in increased income. It is
an amazing fact, ludicrous from one point of view, serious and alarming
from another, that some actually cease at once to be book buyers or
readers on graduating. Visit the college graduate a decade or two
after the commencement roses have withered and you too often see
that the canon of literature closed in the year of his diploma. Such
4t economy " is not the law of right living, but dissipation and anarchy.

To pursue this subject is too painful. We may joke about Ikarus.
To make merry with myths ought not to give us heart-pangs, but to
see brothers beloved, dear student friends, j deliberately choosing the
route to failure is too sad for mirth.

Brothers in Delta Upsilon let us get out of the labyrinth into which
conceit, indolence, habit, mistaken ideas, bad advisers, even outrageous
fortune, have led us. Let us make no deep valley between commence-
ment day and the next autumn. We must keep in line with the best
thought, and take courage from the best actions of our fellow-men.
Every man in the Delta Upsilon Fraternity should keep in touch with
his brethren, like a soldier with his file. He should welcome all her
literature. As fascinating as a volume of Plutarch should be our fra-
ternity catalogue rightly used and studied. Every man who has taken
the vows of Delta U., worn her colors or badge, or, best of all, entered
into her true spirit, ought to keep sympathetic grip upon her contem-
poraneous history and look eagerly at her future prospects. He should
walk hand in hand with his brothers. No better means of special cul-
ture in this line do I know of than regular reading of the Delta
Upsilon Quarterly. It will keep a man from silly contempt of the
college boy. It will save him from cynicism, hold him fresh and full
of warm-heartedness. It will stimulate him to honest ambitions, and
often enrich him with valuable hints which he can coin into success.

In every other respect, fellow students, especially of the graduating

8 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY,

classes of 1 884, of 1 889, and of the years between, let us attend seriously
to sailing our craft on the voyage of life. All things that others have
done for us are as wax- wings. Earnest watching of craft under wind
and current, rocks and dangers, should be ours. We cannot afford

, to relax our energies for one hour. It is not the mere question of
selfish success which we argue, but that kind of right living, that put-
ting into^est investment our talents; ten, or five, or one, with the

• motive of best serving our Master and helping our fellow-men.

THE FIFTY-FIFTH ANNUAL CONVENTION.

The Fifty-fifth Annual Convention of the Fraternity was held with
the Syracuse chapter October 23d, 24th and 25th, at Syracuse, N. Y.

When the delegates from New York left their private car on the
West Shore Railroad, and walked over to the Leland Hotel for breakfast,
at half-past seven, they were surprised and glad to find many brothers

. there. , Trains all night long on routes from East, West, North and
South had been bringing in bright-eyed, enthusiastic young men who
soon filled the Leland to overflowing. Their presence inspired a re-
porter to write: "One hundred and twenty-five shining silk tiles,
one hundred and twenty-five canes of huge dimensions were sported
by one hundred and twenty-five brainy young collegians who thronged
the corridors of the Leland Hotel yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon ;
one hundred and twenty-five pretty combinations of the Greek-letters
'Delta' and 'Upsilon,' studded with precious stones attached one
hundred and twenty-five gold and blue badges to one hundred and
twenty-five vests. Tiles, canes, brains, pins and badges formed part
of the accputrements of the delegates to the fifty-fifth annual conven-

. tion of Delta Upsilon Fraternity."

The list of delegates, as near as could be obtained, is as follows:

. Williams, Theodore Whittelsey, '90; Union, John W. Burr, '91,

The Leland is admirably adapted for the purposes of a convention.
The assembly room is on the top floor, and there at 2.30 p.m., on the
23d, the convention came to order under the gavel of the Rev. Smith
T.- Ford, Madison, '78, one of the best presiding officers the Fraternity
has had the good fortune to have in many years. After prayer by the
Rev. William H. Squires, Hamilton, '88, the Rev. Charles S. Sitterly,
Ph.D., Syracuse, '83, delivered the address of welcome, and Erman
J. Ridgeway, Northwestern, '90, responded on behalf of the con-
vention. The reading of chapter reports occupied all the session, and
in the evening the reception to the delegates and visitors was given by *
the Syracuse chapter in the parlors of the Leland. Nearly three
hundred people were present, including many members of the faculty
with their wives, the Senior class of the University, members of the
four ladies' sororities, and many other well-known people. Kapp's
orchestra furnished the music, and a collation was served in the cafe.

Next morning's session heard the report of the Executive Council,
of the Alumni Information Bureau, the reading of papers on fraternity
topics and letters from Dr. Anson L. ' Hobart, Williams, '36, of
Worcester, Mass., the first president of the Fraternity, and the Rev.
William Eliot Griffis, D.D., Rutgers, '69; of the Shawmut Congrega-
tional Church, Boston, Mass. Both of the letters, strongly urged the

i 1*" -*

convention to do some judicious extension. Dr. Peter R. Furbeck,
Union, '54, spoke on the "Early History of the Society."

In the afternoon came the Quarterly report, discussion of the new
Quinquennial catalogue, which is now a year behindhand, and the re-
ception given at the Alpha Phi House. Nearly one hundred mem-
bers called at the chapter-house, and enjoyed the bounteous hospitality
dispensed by the ladies. The house was brilliantly illuminated, and
the floral decorations and collation were much praised. Later in the
evening an informal reception was held at the Delta U. chapter-house,
and Miss Mary M. Sweet gave an informal reception to a number of
her friends in the New York delegation.

Friday morning and afternoon the last business sessions were held.
Wilson L. Fairbanks, Tufts, '87, was elected Quinquennial editor; the
next convention was given to the Northwestern chapter, to be held at
Chicago, and to Harvard in 1 891, at Boston. A number of petitions
for new chapters were received and turned over to committees for
consideration. The Committee on Executive Council Differences,
consisting of Syracuse, Williams, Hamilton, Columbia and Northwestern,
reported, entirely exonerating the Council of 1888 of all charges, and
stating that the Council of 1889 were "unwise" in issuing their circular
and that the language they employed was "unfortunate." There-
port was unanimously adopted by the convention. At noontime a
photograph of the convention was taken in front of the Leland, but
the "artist" spoiled the negative and, for the first time in years, there
will be no convention picture. The officers for next year were
elected in the afternoon, and their names will be found in the Fra-
ternity directory in the front of the Quarterly. The last public exer-
cises were held in the evening, when "Crouse College, Music Hall,
was filled with a large and appreciative audience. Professor G. A.
Parker began the exercises with an organ solo. Prayer was offered by
the Rev. W. H. Maynard, D.D., LL.D., Hamilton, '54. The Presi-
dent's Address was delivered by Joseph O'Connor, Rochester, '63,
editor of the Rochester Post-Express. At the conclusion of his able
effort, the Fraternity sang their song beginning : ' Oh, the happy days
we spent in Delta U. !' Henry W. Conklin, Esq., Rochester, '79,
gave the history of the Fraternity, stating the total membership to be
4,770. The poem was given by the Hon. H&nry Randall Waite,
Ph.D., Hamilton, '68. After an organ solo, President Henry A.Buttz,

THE FIFTY-FIFTH ANNUAL CONVENTION. II

D.D., Union, '58, gave the address of the evening and of the conven-
tion. His subject was American Scholarship, and his address was
masterly and complete. "

When the members returned to the Leland, after having escorted
the ladies to their homes, they found the annual banquet awaiting
them. The long, heavily-laden tables, with their snow-white linen,
shining silver, vari-colored lights, wax candles and beautiful flowers,
presented a most charming scene. Prominent among the decora-
tions were the floral emblems presented by the ladies' societies. One
hundred and forty covers had been laid, and when the President arose,
at 12 o'clock, to attack the toast list, every seat held a wearer of the
Gold and Blue. The names and subjects on the card were :

Finis John J. Porter, Union, '42

" Nihil dictum quod non dictum prius."

For three hours high carnival reigned, and then came the hour of
separation and sad farewells, as the brothers said good-bye and de-
parted for their homes, many, perhaps, never to meet again.

AMONG THE EXCHANGES.

Two numbers of the Alpha Tau Omega Palm, July and October,
came in the same mail. They contain together about sixty pages of
reading matter — much less than usual. This lack of portliness is per-
haps explained by the lack of alumni notes, condensation and smaller
type.

The subscription list (and therefore the financial condition) of a
fraternity magazine is at once the cause and effect of a well-filled per-
sonal column. This is a truth that few of our exchanges realize.
The July Palm contains editorials that are timely anc^ full of virility.
Here is something to provoke discussion :

" Perhaps there are fifteen or twenty quarterlies in America conducted by Greek
fraternities, at a cost of probably $25,000 per annum. If the fraternities, in their
coming conventions, would consider the question of founding a representative pub-
lication devoted to the interests of all in that higher sphere of fraternity work above
suggested, taking care to a necessary extent,' through the publication of a national
•catalogue and otherwise, of local interests, a definite advance would be made in
the growth of these organizations. The labor of many years will then begin to bear
^visible fruit. In dealing exclusively with local matters, and not with principles,
the Greek press is following a fashion which seems to be demanded by its ilientele;
tait the students and alumni of America are not satisfied with the toys and rattles
of babyhood, as is shown by plaints of the editors of the quarterlies of lack of ade-
quate support."

It is doubtful if Greeks are ready for such a grave step. The aver-
age fraternity magazine may well be likened to the country newspaper,
which, in all its raw and unedited state, is essential to its constituency.
No Forum, or Century, cr North American Review can take the place
of the Bungtown Banner or the Waybackville Gazelle. It may cost
the Greek-letter fraternities considerable to support their organs, but
to our mind the game is well worth the candle. The October Palm
contains a pretty cut of the chapter-hall of the University of the South
chapter. The organization of the Albion chapter inspires this pregnant
editorial :

"The zeal and enthusiasm of our new chapter, Michigan Beta Omicron, at
Albion, is cheering, and should be imitated by some of the older ones, whose steady-
going gait is wearisome at times. A little whooping up is greatly needed in Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Kentucky."

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. 1 3

Listen to this lusty "whoop " from Albion itself :

" From many brothers congratulations have come. From where rippling waters
press with warm kisses sunny Southern shores, and warm hearts beat ; from that
land of bloom, where opening flowers shower their sweet incense, less sweet by far,
however, than the mellow influences of friendships opening for us ; from the rosy
Orient and golden Occident come words of hearty welcome. Thank you all for
these kindly greetings."

Perhaps such gushiness is more pardonable in a new initiate, but
the inexorable use of blue pencil would have helped the paragraph.

*

The October Scroll opens attractively with an article on "The

Development of the Fraternity System," from the bright and busy pen of

Walter B. Palmer. He aims to sketch briefly the circumstances of the

origin of each fraternity, and speaks thus of Delta Upsilon :

" In 1834, Sigma Phi followed Kappa Alpha to Williams. These two soon found
themselves confronted with an anomalous form of a society. It started, in 1834, at
Williams as * The Social Fraternity, ' and declared its opposition to secret associa-
tions. In 1847 it combined with anti-secret clubs in several other colleges under
the title of 'The Anti-Secret Confederation.' In 1864 the Greek-letters Delta
Upsilon were adopted. In 1881, Delta Upsilon announced itself 'non-secret,'
instead of 'anti-secret.' Whatever its position on the subject of secrecy has been
since, its meets are as private as those of the professedly secret fraternities."

Private, but not secret ; Delta Upsilon will gladly accept that as a
distinguishing mark. The date 1864 should be 1858. The interesting
fact is noticed that Delta Upsilon and Delta Kappa Epsilon are the
only fraternities that were founded in New England.

The historian has the final words of summing up :

"This closes a brief account of the origin of the various Greek-letter societies that
have become intercollegiate fraternities, except perhaps a few of small importance
or short existence. Fraternities are now recognized as a powerful factor and one of
the most prominent characteristics in American student life. It is not expected
that their influence will wane. It is probable, however, that the period of frater-
nity making is about at its close. The indications are that the younger and
weaker societies will combine with the older and stronger, or else succumb to com-
petition. There is but little inducement to establish new fraternities ; the want has
been supplied. The various Greek -letter societies have many different peculiar-
ities and distinctive qualities ; among them the student has no trouble in finding
one that suits his nature. All the colleges of good standing are now so nearly
occupied by the old societies that it is difficult to see how a new comer can hope to
succeed. The prospects are that the fraternities already established will remain,
if not the only, at all events the controlling forces in the Greek -letter world."

14 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

Mr. Palmer seems to forget that there is still no non-secret sorority.

If we may rest on the proverbial reputation of womankind, a female

counterpart of Delta Upsilon would be an extraordinary success.

Mr. Brown's review of the college annuals is necessarily written for and

of Phi's, but is of interest to all. The rest of the Scroll is given to

matter of the usual character.

*
The Sigma Chi Quarterly for July is an extension number. The

addition of chapters in the Universities of North Carolina and South-
ern California is noticed to the extent of six pages, mainly history.
Some interesting alumni letters are printed. We wish some of our
alumni in the large cities would write up their Delta U. neighbors in
some such fashion. The under-graduate letters are less commendable.
One says with charming naivete :

"In spite of the time and labor spent on their (Sigma Chi's) speeches and of
the splendid manner in which they delivered them, the honor was borne away by
one {sic) John Franklin, of Arkansas."

This is the paragon of a Freshman one chapter introduces :

" He is a perfect gentleman in every respect, and is the leading man in his
class, both in scholarship and society."

The general tone of the letters, however, is fair and just — a matter
of congratulation. In the comprehensive statistical report of the Grand-
Tribune, no notice is taken of our chapter at the University of
Michigan.

The Beta Theta Pi is supposed to be limited in circulation to mem-
bers of the fraternity, but here is the May-June number before us. We
find nothing in this issue that needs must be kept hidden, and this extract
from an alumnus's letter shows that Betas are not all agreed on this
point :

" I am not aware on what grounds the convention ordered the exchange list to
be withdrawn. If for the purpose of discussing plans and improvements in fra-
ternity organization more freely or for the purpose of discussing how to establish
several new chapters which ought to be formed before the new catalogue is issued,
the move was a good one. But if the reason given was, as has been rumored, that men
from other fraternities claimed to know more about Beta Theta Pi than we do our-
selves, the action was a piece of poppycockism well worthy of the most narrow-minded
member of the most exclusive and seclusive society. It is true that the Sophomore
exuberance of fraternity spirit causes some cor. sees, to write things unmeant for
others than Beta's, but a judicious use of the editorial shears and blue pencil can

make any chapter-letter presentable to the outside world. So far I have seen no

advantage to be gained from drawing into our shell and following the very exam-
ple which we, a few years ago, so vehemently decried in Psi Upsilon and others.' 1

The prime element in this magazine is its excellent chapter-letters.
The editorials, too, are well written, albeit tinctured here and there
with a sort of Pharisaical tone, at once monotonous and offensive.
Speaking of the fraternity's choice of a flower, the editor says :

" In this, as in many another matter, Beta Theta Pi is the pioneer among the
fraternities. But in truth it now seems somewhat surprising that the rose never
before received recognition from us. For half a century it has adorned our ban-
quets ; our Beta sisters have worn it tenderly and gracefully on innumerable fra-
ternal occasions of happy memory. In a host of ways the * royal-hearted rose '
has been closely associated with important events in the history of Beta Theta Pi,
and with many of the happiest hours of members of the fraternity."

Much space is given to discussion and details of the proposed semi-
centennial at Chautauqua, which is already a thing of the past.

*
It is pleasant to scan the improvements in the appearance and
make-up of the Shield of Theta Delta Chi. That gruesome cover, the
inevitable butt of exchange editors, has taken flight, let us trust, for-
ever, and its successor is bright and tasteful. Inside, too, the changes
are marked, especially in a typographical way. A new feature, which
deserves popularity, is the department devoted to "Our Graduates."
The items would be made more thoroughly newsy, however, if the
personality of the writer was not so obtrusive in the use of the first
person plural. The Kappa charge seems to monopolize more than its
share of space, considering the unimportance of the matter. Under
the head of exchanges is told a story of Dicky and Deryew (D. U. ),
that has its good points. The old three-issue quarterly of D. K. £.
comes in for its share of attention.

*

The chief strength of the Kappa Alpha Journal for July lies in its
chapter-letters. We can agree with the editors that a fraternity maga-
zine ought not to be the place "for the board of editors to air their
rhetoric/' or the repository of "a mass of clipping," but it's a lame
conclusion that makes "the letter department, the department of the
Journal" Chapter-letters are a means, not an end, and quality is more
to be desired than quantity. So when we read in another contempo-

1 6 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

rary, the Shield, of Theta Delta Chi, the injunction of the editor that
chapter-letters should be "as long as possible," we are inclined to
protest. In a future number we shall discuss this point at length.
The Journal's editorials cover a wide range. This tells its solemn
story :

" Those members of the editorial board who have been attending to the wants
of the Journal for the past two years have been wondering at the long stay from
home of the prodigals who adorn the staff with their names. A fraternity organ
is one which might be described as a hand-organ. We guess Brother Brown's arm
is pretty tired by this time,' for, with the exception of two, the board of editors have
conducted themselves with a dignified inertia worthy of the fabled stuffed owl.
They haven't turned the crank a single time."

The "Notes and Clippings" column is well conducted, though we
fancy the readers would be better satisfied with shorter and more
numerous extracts. The October number sees a change, editorial and
typographical, and we are not prepared to say both are not improve-
ments. The doings of the Augusta (Ga. ) convention are reported in
non-committal fashion. Speaking of fraternity Presidents of the United
States, the editor comments in ignorance :

"As far as heard from, the Phi Delta Theta is prouder of Brother Harrison
than Brother Harrison is of Phi Delta Theta. And if Brother Garfield was a Delta
Upsilon he must not have been a strong fraternity man, or else there would be no
doubt as to the fact.* 1

That "if" has a peculiar sound. If any remark is needed we
should say the Journal had better prime up on fraternity history.

* *
*

A pictured group of heads, with the necessary biographical facts,
is the prominent feature of Sigma Nu's Delta for October. The heads
are those of the members of the High Council* and the Division Chiefs.
We should have guessed at sight that these fraternity leaders were
young, and the biographies show the oldest to be only twenty-six years
old, while three are but twenty. This hardly chimes with the old say-
ing of "old men for counsel, young men for war." The hackneyed
topic, " Are College Secret Societies Useful ? " gets a treatment that
develops little new.

*

We are beginning to look upon the Phi Gamma Delta Quarterly as
one of the most meaty of our contemporaries, and the September num-
ber increases our good opinion of it. Originality and timeliness are

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. I 7

the two great virtues of its editorials and leading articles. From a
pithy article by Will Siling on " Some Chapter Suggestions," we cull
these points :

" We have suggested a few things to be done in chapter up-building and
maintenance. We shall dwell only upon one. With the increase of chanter-houses
a new danger threatens us, or, rather, an old one intensified. With the members
all living under the same fraternal roof and seeing much of each other throughout
the week, the chapters are less likely to be fully attended. Now that chapter has
before it a sure death that cannot maintain regular meetings. How often does
your chapter meet? How faithfully are the meetings attended? Answer these
two questions, and in every case we can give you a correct estimate of your chap,
ter's life and efficiency. * * * That society man, of course, is of a defective
type whose sole work is summed up in attendance upon the meetings. But the
man faithful in this respect is to our certain knowledge the one not found wanting in
other departments of loyal service to the fraternity which has honored him with
membership. Watching carefully the smaller duties, there need be no fears con.
cerning the well-being and growth both of the chapter and the fraternity."

Another article forcibly points out the dangers of fraternity life. The
old, old question of extension comes up smiling, the writer taking this
high ground :

" The first question is, why should Phi Gamma Delta seek to extend her
borders ? The first and chief reason is, because the fraternity is beneficial to all who
are brought within its mystic circle. The teachings of our order inculcate what is
true, manly and honorable. The merits of the fraternity justify us in making
efforts to extend its influence and name."

Under " A Resume of the Year" the results of fraternity extension
are epitomized. About Phi Gamma Delta's entrance to Yale this is
said:

" Last November Phi Gamma Delta startled the Hellenic world by re-estab-
lishing her Nu Deuteron Chapter at Yale as a four-years' society and drawing her
membership from all departments of the University. This policy was in direct
opposition to the rules of the societies established there. In the first place, the
fraternities are restricted to departments, and finally all, except Alpha Delta Phi,
limit their membership to certain classes. Phi Gamma Delta's venture was looked
upon with interest, and since the course of six months demonstrated her success,
other fraternities no longer view Yale as an unfertile field for them. Already five
have entered, and others are knocking at her gates for admission."

An editorial utterance on the same pressing subject runs as follows:

" Has the fraternity any defined extension policy ? To our knowledge there
is none, but a fair degree of success has been attained in the past by an ill-formu-

1 8 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

lated plan to enter any first-class institution possible where eligible material could
be found. Considering the advance Phi Gamma Delta has made in the past few
years without such a policy, what might not be the result in this direction with a
systematic course of work and an energetic board of extension to direct the work,
as suggested by the remarks on 'extension' in the previous pages of the
Quarterly?"

The exchange column is one of the best features of this exchange.
This is a picture true to life :

"Moreover, the ' Dekes ' have been the Wampanoags of fraternity journalism.
We miss the stirring war-whoops of their exchange columns. How they yelled
and danced around their victims i Or else, wrapped closely in their blankets, ugh,
Big Chiefs, with contemptuous reserve, would sulk and complain because their
ideals were not reached by the other tribes."

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Record has a miscellaneous clipper on
its staff who takes many selections from our Quarterly without giving
the customary credit The November issue, under " Reviews of Our
Exchanges, " contains four and one-third pages of matter, all of which
is taken from our August issue. The editor closes the reviews with
these semi-apologetic and compensating remarks.

" The Delta Upsilon Quarterly, to whom we are indebted for much
of the above matter on exchanges, is the very best and most thoroughly fraternity
journal on our list Bristling with news and full of life, it is at once a source of
information and pleasure to others, as well as to her own fraternity men."

The September number of the Shield of Phi Kappa Psi, beginning
the ioth volume, opens with a review of the Annuals, which would have
been better if less thickly sprinkled with poetry, much of which hardly
reaches the level of the commonplace. Some space is given editorially
to a review of the D. K. E. semi-annual Quarterly article defending Mr.
Porter's much-berated Century "spike." Here is a new but telling
point :

" What thunderous onwargl movements Alpha Delta Phi and Psi Upsilon have
made since they both ceased to publish any journal to show that they were alive !
At its present rate Delta Kappa Epsilon and its Quarterly will execute a like pro-
gression."

Announcement is made that the compiling of the fraternity cata-
logue is finished. The chapter-letters are bright and loyal.

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. 1 9

The University has passed into hands that seem to better under-
stand the field that exists for a general college paper. The following
editorial from the October issue is so thoroughly in touch with the spirit
of Delta Upsilon that we are glad to reproduce it :

"The college societies should be more like modern clubs than the associations
of the middle ages. Would it not be a little wiser if all outside, consequently visi-
ble, mysticisms were done away with? The oldest senior society at Yale recently
did away with the apparently compulsory ever -visible wearing of its badge, and
the younger one of the three senior societies prides itself on the openness of all its
dealings with the outside barbarian world. Harvard has not sinned in this respect,
nor have Princeton and Columbia. The college society now is a much-sought-for
eldorado to the under-graduate, and frequently the sole home in his college town
for the graduate. Would it not be better if the halls were made more open, sup-
plied with periodicals and accessible at all times? This is done at certain colleges
— for instance, I understand, in some of the society halls at Cornell. The tomb-
like structures found in New Haven and New York are very majestic, but do they
not suggest vaults rather than the summit of human ambition ? Put in a window
or two, gentlemen, and let in a little of God's sunlight."

IVY ODE.

[As song by the Class of '89, of Rutgers College, at its Class Day exercises, Jane 17, 1889.
Words by Byron Cummings, '89.]

Through life's long and misty age,

On the future now we gaze,
Buoyed with hope by life's brief page,

We have conned these early days.

Now 'tis meet we pause just here

Close beside old Rutgers walls —
Walls we'll ever hold so dear,

Wheresoe'er our life work calls.

Trusting to their tender care,

Fondly leave this Ivy vine,
Where, with others, it may share

Their protection, Mater mine.

Thus we hope from year to year —
As our thoughts it may entwine —

It may be an emblem dear
Of the life of Eighty-Nine.

April.

The publication by the Alabama Phi Delta Thetas of a State organ,

not be published until every chapter has paid a pro rata assessment
to cover the cost.

Rawson Bennett, of Sigma Nu, is soon to publish a pamphlet giving
the history of the attempt in 1886-87 to consolidate the Sigma Nu
and Kappa Sigma fraternities. It would have been a good thing had
the negotiations succeeded.

The Beta Theta Pi chapter at Rutgers College holds a nominal
existence through two brothers, who were initiated by the Stevens

The Muhlenberg chapter of Alpha Tau Omega has expelled a man
for joining the Theta Delta Chi's at Lafayette. The Palm comments :
"The code of honor among 'Greek fraternities should be strictly ob-

consented. The literary exercises will be held in the evening of the
first day, followed by the usual ball. The dinner will take place the
following evening, at the Narragansett Hotel.

The law fraternity Phi Delta Phi has recently published a catalogue
which shows the total enrollment to be 1,243. The members who be-
long to fraternities have the fact indicated by Greek-letters of their
organization following their names. Under the Columbia Law School
chapter, class of '82, appears the name "Theodore Roosevelt, A KE,
A A $."

Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity has purchased the site for its chapter-
house. Phi Gamma Delta, holding " malice toward none, charity for
all," joyfully hails the success of Alpha Sigma Phi ; we hail the suc-
cess of Delta Upsilon, we hail the success of Phi Gamma Delta, and
say to them all : Nothing succeeds like success. — Marietta Letter y Phi
Gamma Delta Quarterly.

The University of California was favored last spring and summer
with a fraternity war on paper. The college weekly was inspired by a
public oration on "The Function of College Greek-letter Fraternities,"
to publish editorials denouncing fraternities right and left, and charging
gross immorality against the Dekes, Zeta Psi's and Chi Phi's, some of
which the Beta Theta Pi correspondent says was well founded.

University and Tufts chapters on May 9th), enjoys the distinction of

April 12, 1888, our Cornell and Pennsylvania State college chapters
were ushered into existence. Can any one antedate us ? — Phi Gamma

It was generally understood among the students last spring that the
Delta Gamma fraternity, which had died out for a number of years in

Hanover, had been revived and would spring a " surprise" (?) on
us Commencement week. After carrying everything before us with-

Kappa Alpha Theta.

• Beta Chi has always aimed to be progressive and ever a worthy
representative of the Phi Gamma, Delta fraternity. For a few years
the better fraternities at Lehigh have been getting chapter-houses, and,
recognizing the wisdom of the move, we have adapted ourselves to the
prevalent spirit. Consequently we find ourselves this year installed in
a commodious house equaled by none in many respects in the Bethle-
hems. — Lehigh Letter in Phi Gamma Delta Quarterly.

A letter from Johns Hopkins University, in the June Beta Theta Pi,
speaks thus of the other fraternities: "Delta Phi, though tottering,
still stands ; Phi Kappa Psi seems to have been granted a new lease of
life, and hopes in the future really to live ; as stated in our May semi-
annual, a. large and good chapter of Alpha Delta Phi has been estab-
lished here, and has declared its intention of absorbing the lion's
share of good men and things at this University ; we are ready for the
contest "

John M. Phillips, editor of the Delta Tau Delta Rainbow, was
recently killed by an accident at Chattanooga, Tenn. He graduated at
Emory and Henry College, Va., with the highest honors ever given,
and while at Vanderbilt University studying law, was one of the com-
missioners that consolidated the W. W. W. or Rainbow Society with
Delta Tau Delta in 1886. He is spoken of as a highly accomplished
gentleman, and had evinced marked ability in his management of the
Rainbow.

During the last week in May, Delta Gamma held her biennial con-
vention at Madison, which lasted four days. On May 28 th they were
entertained by Chi Psi. The next night the local chapter gave the
delegates a reception in Library Hall on the University grounds.
During the evening some "neutrals" threw red pepper down through
a hole in the ceiling in order to break up the reception and so vent
their spite on the fraternity students. However, they failed in their
attempt, and only succeeded in securing the expulsion of five of their
own confederates. Great excitement was caused by the affair, but

time settled it and brought peace to the college once more. — Wisconsin
Letter, Sigma Chi Quarterly.

The correspondent of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Record from Mt.
Union college, at Alliance, O. , gives some startling information :
" Other fraternities seem to be turning their attention to Mt Union
•college. This week has seen a chapter of the K. K. G. organized
here, and the A. D. Phi is likely to follow within a few weeks. The
fraternities here are strong. The S. A. E. has fourteen active mem-
bers ; the A. T. O. has twenty-two. We cannot say how many
Delta Gamma has, but the chapter is prospering. The K. K. G. has
five members, and the A. D. P. will probably enter with seven."
Alas ! Has Alpha Delta Phi descended to this low estate ? We await
anxiously a report of the initiation of the Mt Union chapter.

The regulation that keeps the fraternities out of Princeton and

permits the secret societies "American Whig" and ' ' Cliosophic " to

thrive is thus stated in the catalogue :

" We, the undersigned, do individually for ourselves promise, without any men-
tal reservation, that we will have no connection whatever with any secret society,
nor be present at the meetings of any secret society in this or any other college so
long as we are members of the College of New Jersey; it being understood that
this promise has no reference to the American Whig and Cliosophic Societies.
We also declare that we regard ourselves bound to keep this promise, and on no
■account whatever to violate it."

This pledge is required by the Board of Trustees.

The only "breeze" at Indiana State University this spring was fur-
nished by Phi Delta Theta. They expelled one of their members and
another resigned. They were both immediately taken in by Beta Theta
Pi. — Sigma Chi Quarterly. We should rather say that the "breeze"
was furnished \^y Beta Theta Pi, who seems to be distinguishing herself
in her own peculiar manner at that University. Last year they initi-

this be true, Beta Theta Phi has descended a long way from the lofty
ideal set up years ago, when their convention resoluted most em-
phatically against "lifting," and their journal Beta Theta Pi used to

terly. ^Shield of Phi Kappa Psi.

The members of the Zeta Psi Club of 8 West 29th street are
mourning the sudden disappearance of their steward, D. Johnson.
Some of the members of the club are also mourning. the loss of
several articles of wearing apparel, while one member who was rash
enough to place $100 in Johnson's possession for safe keeping is now
$100 out Johnson was about his work as usual on Monday, and
was apparently at peace with all the world. He resided in the club
house with his wife, who is also mourning the loss of her spouse. On
Tuesday morning Johnson disappeared and has not been since seen.
The handsome club house was almost deserted last night when a Press
reporter called there. One of the members, who refused to give his
name, admitted that Johnson and the articles had gone, and that the
. club was mourning his absence. "We will probably take him back
if he comes," the gentleman said, " because he used to make excellent
toddy, and we don't think he has left us." — New York Press.

The Alpha Tau Omega Palm proposes two subjects for discussion
by under-graduate fraternity men in general, and offers as a prize for the
best article on the affirmative or negative sides a badge of the fraternity
to which the winner belongs, to cost not less than $25. The ques-
tions are: "Should Greek Fraternities in American Colleges be
Tolerated?" and "Is pan-Hellenic Consolidation Practicable and

Expedient ? " The conditions of competition are stated as follows :

"Competitors from fraternities at, at least, ten colleges at which we have
chapters, to be selected after a joint debate on one or both questions by a committee
of Greeks or from the Faculties, or by popular vote ; only delegates from
fraternities to take part in such debate; the articles must cover both questions,
and not exceed 1,000 words, and must be sent to Palm on or before March 1, 1890.
The prize to be delivered at Commencement exercises, with other honors if
practicable."

The Kappa Alpha Convention held at Augusta, Ga., September
nth and 13th, elected the following officers for the next two years: K.
C, Horace H. White; G. H., William C. McLeod; G. P., Robert
McFarland. The Kappa Alpha Journal was entrusted again to the
Vanderbilt chapter. John Bell Keeble, Esq., was elected editor.
Lexie S. Parks will have charge of the chapter- letters, and Charles N.
Burch, Esq., will continue to act as business manager. The comple-
tion of the catalogue was also intrusted to the Vanderbilt chapter.
The convention, after discussing the feasibility of organizing alumni
chapters, referred the matter to a committee. The prize medal for the

GREEK-LETTER GOSSIP. 2*J

best essay was awarded to William S. Hamilton, of the University of
Virginia chapter. The convention was concluded with a banquet
tendered the Visitors by the Augusta members. The October Journal
indicates that Mr. Keeble intends to make it one of the best fraternity
magazines published. The editorials and exchange notes are well
written and interesting. The convention made a law that each chapter
failing to send a letter for each issue of the Journal should be fined $i. —

The national convention of Phi Delta Theta was held at Bloom-
ington, 111., October 1 4th- 1 8th. Sixty of the sixty-six chapters and
several alumni associations were represented by delegates. The Con-
vention seems to have handled a good deal of business in a satisfactory
way, and a great amount of social gayety prevailed. The second
evening the public literary exercises took place in the Opera House,
and the third night a brilliant ball was given the visitors by the Bloom-
ington Phi's. The fourth evening was given up to a theatre party and
a successful banquet. The fifth and last evening was given to a
reception by the Bloomington Club in their handsome quarters. Mr.
E. H. L. Randolph, for a number of years editor of the Scroll, was
elected President of the Council, and also one of the two catalogue
editors. Both are to receive good salaries. The Scroll was changed
to a bi-monthly and given to Dr. J. E. Brown, of Columbus, O., with
salary. He was also made paraphernalia agent. Fraternity pins and
canes were given to a number of popular officers. The initiation
of preparatory students is constitutionally forbidden. The catalogue
is to be published shortly, and the ritual, which hai been ten years in
preparation, is to be used another year before adoption. The third
Wednesday in February is to be Alumni Day. At that time each
alumni chapter shall meet and elect officers, and papers on a fraternity
topic assigned by the Council be read by some of the members.
A charter was granted to Tulane University and refused to several
other institutions. The provinces were rearranged and provision
made for a provincial convention next summer. A committee was
appointed to raise a fund to build a national chapter-house at
Miami University, Oxford, O., the birthplace of the university. It
is intended to be fire proof, and used, among other purposes, as a
library and storehouse for archives. The next national convention
will be held in Atlanta, Ga., October, 1891.

EDITORIAL.

Every one of our twenty-five active chapters and four of the
alumni associations were represented by delegates at the convention
held in October with Syracuse. The convention, as a whole, was
quite successful, the chapter reports were encouraging, the attendance
large, the literary exercises and banquet good, and the interest well
sustained. While the social side was profitable and very pleasant, the
business value of the convention was somewhat disappointing. The
customary number of delegates unfamiliar with the Fraternity consti-
tution were present, and as a result some business was transacted not
in accordance with the provisions of the constitution. Next year the
convention goes to Northwestern and in the year following to Harvard.

The convention did a wise thing when it elected Wilson L. Fair-
banks, Tufts, '87, editor of the Quinquennial Catalogue. Brother
Fairbanks took a most active part in the establishment of the Tufts
chapter, and was senior delegate to the Madison Convention in 1886,
at which time the charter was granted. Since graduation he has been
on the staff of the Springfield, Mass., Republican. During this time
he has been a freqfhent contributor to the Quarterly, and for the past
six months has had charge of the departments of ' 'Greek Letter Gossip"
and "Among the Exchanges." Possessing the requirements that are
needed to make such a work successful, he is well fitted for the posi-
tion, and the Fraternity is to be congratulated that his acceptance has
placed the Quinquennial in good hands.

EDITORIAL. 29

We are glad to present our readers with an article from the pen of
Rev. Dr. William Elliot Griffis, Rutgers, '69. Dr. Griffis is well
known to Delta U. 's as an enthusiastic fraternity man, and in the world
of literature he has achieved a high reputation through his books,
"The Mikado's Empire, " "Corea, the Hermit Nation," "Matthew
Calbraith Perry," and numerous magazine articles. There is much
wholesome advice in the Doctor's talk, and no doubt many men fail
to keep up with the successful stream of life through mistaken
ideas. It does not pay to fall away from the front. Keep in line
with the men of activity. Don't be found with the has-beens, or in
the reserve corps.

We hope to make our alumni news more interesting this year than
ever before, and to this end we ask all to help by sending us such in-
formation as they may obtain. The difficulty of securing items for
this department may be partially realized when it is known that we
spent nearly one hundred dollars in collecting alumni notes last year.
This department will again be in charge of Brother Eidlitz, Cornell, '85,
whom we are glad to welcome back after an absence of two years
spent in study in Germany.

The Delta Upsilon Club House at 8 East 47th Street, New York,
is enjoying greatly increased prosperity. Visitors to the city should
not fail to call as often as convenient. The chapters are asked to send
their college papers, annuals, etc., to the Club library. They are in-
teresting to frequenters of the Club, and help to keep the chapters in
the attention of the alumni.

SO DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

An official of the Alpha Tau Omega's broaches through the
Palm a unique and not unattractive plan for building chapter-houses
by means of mutual co-operation between the chapters. It proposes
that a general building fund be established, each contributor of $5
to this to be made a shareholder. When the desired amount shall
have been raised, it is to be awarded to one chapter by a majority vote
of the shareholders. Thus the chapter will have been enabled to
build long before it otherwise could. The inference is, also, that this
kind of co-operation is to be continued until all the needy chapters
are supplied with houses. An obvious and, to our mind, fatal weakness
in such a plan is the overwhelming probability that, after the first
house is thus acquired, there would be a decided falling off in the con-
tributions. Hope would inspire each chapter and its alumni to con-
tribute liberally the first time, that it might stand the better chance
of securing the fund. The disappointment of all the chapters except
one and the fulfillment of that one's hopes would both surely tend to
lessen enthusiasm and contributions too. This disappointment on
the one hand and complete contentment on the other would of course
increase with the awarding of each new fund. The question of ways
and means of building chapter- houses deserves more attention than it
is receiving, but the Palms plan seems rather impracticable.

the withholding of funds due the editor and a failure on the part of

The high quality of the verse in imaginative strength and graceful and
appropriate imagery was especially dwelt upon, and more than one
critic was not backward in ranking some of the lines among the very
best in our literature. In fact, Mr. Day's last book immediately estab-

The Executive Council of 1888 was severely criticised because
nothing pertaining to its business ever appeared in the Quarterly. The

The Rev. William Elliot Griffis, D.D., Rutgers, '69, pastor of the-
Shawmut Congregational Church, Tremont street, Boston, has in
press a volume giving the results of his studies in Hebrew poetry.
Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. will shortly publish "The Lily
Among Thorns ; a Study of the Biblical Drama entitled, The Song of
Songs." The little volume consists of three parts. In the first, seven
chapters of " History and Criticism " assign the true place and deter-
mine the form and interpretation of this matchless poem. In Part.
II, the text is given in the revised version, the parts spoken by
each person of the drama in solo or chorus being indicated. In
Part III, Studies and Comments, each of the five acts and fourteen
scenes are detailed. The author rejects the allegorical, and adheres
to the ancient, natural and historical theory of interpretation. He
finds it "as pure as unsunned snow," and nobly worthy of a place
in the canon of inspired Scripture. Though he has twice treated this
book in courses of sermons, the present volume is devoted chiefly to
developing the literary beauties of the Hebrew drama, though the
moral aesthetics are not forgotten. The book will be a duodecimo
of about three hundred and fifty pages, stamped in gold, with the
design of a lily blooming unscathed among thorns. The author
believes the " Song of Songs " to be a book full of lessons for our pres-
ent age.

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE.

WILLIAMS COLLEGE.

The College year opened with the usual handshakings, the usual sighs over
the abrupt departure of the idle summer days, and the usual resolves, as three hun-
dred new leaves were turned over, that great things should come out of the year
1889-90.

Ninety Freshmen decided to avail themselves of the advantages offered by life
in the Berkshire country, and five of this number were asked to become members of
our Fraternity. We consider our '93 delegation a very strong one, one well fitted
to take a prominent place in the intellectual, social and athletic life of the college.
On September 20th, as a preliminary to the initiation banquet, our fellows and the
Fratres Futuri, escaping from the toils and the labors of the rushing season, stole
quietly away to Stamford, Vt., where twenty spring chickens and as many porter-
house steaks were set before twenty hungry men by mine host Paradise, to whom,
we all agreed, the gods had given a fitting name. Then on September 27th came
the banquet proper. Early in the evening the festivities began, and the Freshmen
were given a vigorously earnest reception both externally and internally. It was
an evening they willlong remember.

Through the kindness of the Hon. James White, '51, the College Treasurer, and
an enthusiastic Delta U., the grounds about our home have been graded to meet
a side street recently opened. The improvement is a very marked one.

We are fortunate in having two of our young alumni with us this year. Oliver
S. Brown, '89, is instructor in the gymnasium and also holds the position of organist
in the chapel. George H. Flint, '86, is assistant in the chemical laboratory and
instructor in Latin. Buck, '88, is located at Adams this year, and we hope to see
much of him also. Our Fraternity is well represented in the chapel choir, the glee
club, the college quartette, banjo club and foot-ball eleven, and as usual we shall
sing, play and pound our way into the hearts of all we meet.

The year has opened most auspiciously. The Hopkins memorial building
now in process of erection is a beautiful structure. It will contain offices and rooms
for recitation. The library is being enlarged, and everywhere the spirit of progress
is keenly felt.

Ofcr Society is also progressing both in the firmer establishment of itself as a
leading fraternity here and in the drawing together of its sons in relations of
firmer friendship. Our home, with its wide, old-fashioned hall and its mammoth
fireplaces with their fires of great logs, has much in it to remind us of the homes we
have left behind us, and into this home circle of warmth and cheer we invite any
and all Delta U. 's who may chance our way.

Our initiates from '93 are : Henry Boon, Fall River, Mass., prepared at the
High School ; Elmer Edson, Indianapolis, Ind., prepared at Exeter. He is a
brother of H. W. Edson, Williams, 'go ; Charles T. Ennis, Lyons, N. Y., prepared
at High School; Lewis P. Slade, Fall River, Mass., prepared at High School; Robert

UNION COLLEGE.

Union enters upon her ninety-fifth year with more favorable prospects than
for several years. There are sixty Freshmen, nearly twice as many as last year.
And there are additions to all the other classes. The Faculty has been increased by
the appointments of Mr. Philip H. Cole, *88, to the English department, and
Brother Winans, '88, to the Mathematical department. Many improvements have
been made to the buildings and grounds. The gymnasium has been enlarged and
the apparatus increased, thus greatly enhancing the facilities for physical develop-
ment. President Webster, by his kindly ways, his open generosity and hearty
sympathy, has greatly endeared himself to the students. His lectures, de-
livered in the chapel each Sunday afternoon, have done much to develop and
strengthen the literary life here. In fact it would seem that Dr. Webster possesses
much of that personality which was characteristic of his distinguished predecessor,
Dr. Nott.

We turn from this brief statement of the prosperity of the college to a consid-
eration of the condition of the Union chapter, not without feelings of pride at her
renewed prosperity. New life, enthusiasm and energy have taken possession of the
men. At present much interest is being manifested in the formation of a glee club.
In this organization we have two men, Brothers Fisk and Whipple. The literary
editor and assistant editor of the Concordiensis are Delta U.'s. In athletics we have
several men who are prominent candidates for the foot-ball and base-ball teams.
Brother Church, '91, was compelled to leave college because of sickness, but is ex-
pected back next term. We initiated three members from '93, Russell H. Bellows
and James and Edward Burke. Our relations with the other societies are most
friendly, for now most of the.old-time feuds have disappeared. Our outlook for the
year is most promising, and we are sanguine for a most happy and successful year.

HAMILTON COLLEGE.

Hamilton college is entering upon a new life ; every chair in the faculty is
filled. A new and approved regime of absences and excuses has been adopted, and
everything' indicates successful work. Conservative Hamilton has conceded
another point, and openly has approved the sentiment so long tacitly acknowledged
yet hard to declare, that modern, improved modes of procedure are necessary to
the maintenance of equality with other institutions. A premium is no longer^laced
upon lying, and the Faculty do not have to act upon excuses for reason of headache,
earache, nosebleed, gout, rheumatism, etc.

This term marks what we trust to be a permanent increase of interest in chap-
ter meetings. It has been felt for some time past that our Wednesday ev^ning s
have not been as productive of good as they might be made. Tracing back to the
cause, it has been found that the repetitional character of the literary exercises
combined with a large amount of college work have been the prime factors. One
of the principal objects of our meetings being to better fit us to discharge college
duties, it has been decided to vary our literary programme in the hope of more effect •

ively accomplishing this purpose. Every man must now appear before the chapter
with his declamation, oration, etc., before presenting it upon the chapel stage.
Following comes criticism and suggestion. This is interspersed with discussions on
popular topics by some member, the subject having been announced a week pre-
vious. All are thus given time, to obtain information and prepare themselves to
discuss either the arguments presented or mode of treatment

In the social line Delta U. is gaining a more prominent position each year.
The chapter-house, in addition to the personal worth of the men, gives a definite
status to social standing and imparts an air of aristocracy.

Robert J. Hughes, '90, is leader and second tenor of the college choir, and
Cornelius J. Gibson, '93, is a first tenor. Thomas E. Hayden, '91, is business man-
ager of tint Hamilton Literary Monthly \ and George H. Harkness, '91, is an editor
of the College annual—the Hamiltonian. Melvin G. Dodge, '90, has been chosen
Senior Director of the Lawn Tennis Association, and John M. Curran, '92, Sopho-
more Director of the Athletic Association. We gladly welcome the return of Broth-
ers Tooley, Sheppard and Van Doren, all of whom were absent last year because
of illness. The first returns to graduate with '90, the last two with '92 and '93 re-
spectively.

Five of the forty- five Freshmen have joined Delta U. : Walter N. Van Doren,
Three Mile Bay, N. Y. ; Harold Marquisell, 106 John street, Utica, N. Y. {prepared
at Utica Free Academy) ; Charles W. Disbrow, 8 Walker street, Utica, N. Y. (Utica
Free Academy) ; Cornelius Gibson, Clinton, N. Y.' (Clinton Grammar School) ;
Carroll B. Bacon, Booneville, N. Y. (Booneville Academy). Brother Bacon is a
cousin of E. A Bacon, '90, and W. V. Bacon, '93, of the Madison chapter.

Hamilton was represented at convention by five men from the active chapter,
the two delegates, four of the late alumni, Henry Randall Waite, '68, Dr. Maynard,
'54, and others. The chapter's customary stand of conservatism as regards exten-
sion and of advocating the importance of strengthening the bond in and between
the chapters was resolutely maintained. To repeat an utterance made upon the
convention floor, the fraternity paper read by Hamilton " struck the keynote of
the assembly.' ' As a chapter, for the past year we have endeavored to become
more of a social company, to make the men more united, to cause each other to
feel that when graduated we are missed not so much for the mere honor we may
have won the Fraternity, but for what we are. Of inestimable value in this devel-
opment has been the chapter-house. More than all else combined has it developed
the fueling of brotherhood. Therefore Hamilton's advice to her sister chapters is'
to cherish some pet scheme for a home of your own. Even though perhaps it lie
many years beyond the present college generation, it will add a zest to college and
fraternity alike ; it will form a tie binding you close to the place where were passed
the happiest four years of your life.

AMHERST COLLEGE.

All the boys seemed glad to get back to college this term, and reported having
had jolly vacations. Several met at Chautauqua ; others were fishing down at
Cape Cod, and again, we regret to say, Amherst failed to be represented at the
Delta Upsilon camp. Our campaigning began early, and was carried on assidu-

40 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

ously until we had pledged one Senior and, as we supposed, our full Freshman
delegation. We were also heartily glad to welcome Brother Dewey, of Lafayette y
into Amherst, '90. After campaign work had practically ceased, and we were
congratulating ourselves on our fine Freshman delegation, three of them were
unconditionally forbidden by their parents to join. Consequently these three men
are enjoying the privacy and seclusion of non-society life, and we start out handi-
capped by the smallness of our delegation. In the presence of a few alumni and
two brothers from Brown, on Friday, October 18th, the chapter initiated the follow-
ing men : Nolte, '90 ; Buffum, Byron, Dodge, Hunt, Keating, Kimball and Raley,
'93. As usual, the solemnity of the occasion was relieved by the feast of good
things and lively toasts that followed.

Senior class election is also a thing of the past— and worthy of record ; because
it showed that a combination of all the other societies in college could freeze out
Delta Upsilon.

Delta U. is again prominent in foot-ball this year, combining manager and
right guard in one man, a most promising end rush, a half-back and a substitute.

We were very happy to entertain two of our Brown brothers at our initiation,
and missed the usual delegation from Williams. If we cannot all go to the conven-
tions, especially when held with the Western chapters, we in the East should
improve all opportunities, such as initiations and receptions, to make the personal
acquaintance of neighboring chapters. When Amherst sends out invitations to her
winter reception we hope you will not forget this. I cannot close without express-
ing a sentiment with which so many of you, especially upper-class men, must sym-
pathize. " How often we wish the '89 men were back ! " And then I become over-
whelmed with the thought that soon we must go, too ; and even Senior dignity
cannot repress the sigh and fit of abstraction that follow.

ADELBERT COLLEGE.

The year, though not far spent, has already been marked by two pleasant
social events. On the evening of September 2d the active and graduate members
residing in the city gave a reception to their lady friends at our hall. An excellent
programme had been provided, and was carried out to the satisfaction and pleasure
of all present

. Brother Wilson, '66, who re-established our chapter in '65, has recently moved
to this city, and has lost none of the loyalty to Delta U. which was so effective
when he was in college. On the evening of September 30th we were most pleas-
antly entertained by Mr. Wilson, his wife and daughter. Songs and stories of days
gone by in Delta U. constituted the order of a most enjoyable evening's entertain-
ment.

In college affairs we hold our usual place, having four men on the glee club,
the battery of the college nine, one of the members of the board of base-ball direct-
ors, the President and Secretary of the literary society, and two of the editors of
the college annual, The Reserve. We returned eleven men this fall, losing only
two of our active membership, viz. : Brother Hopkins, who graduated and is now
attending Harvard Law School, and Brother Hughes, '91, who has left college to

enter business life. At our initiation on the 28th ult. we added three new men to
our ranks, giving us an active membership of fourteen.

Our initiates are : Alfred John Wright, '93 (prepared at the Western Reserve
Academy). He has three uncles in the Fraternity. John A. Wright, '8o ; Hubert
N. Wright, '83, and George A. Wright, '87 ; Henry Alfred Preston, '93 (prepared
at the Central High School, Cleveland, O.), and Charles Whipple Shipman, '92
(West High School, Cleveland, O.).

COLBY UNIVERSITY.

With the opening of the college year 1889-90 begins a new period in the his-
tory of Colby University. Last Commencement Dr. G. D. B. Pepper resigned
the presidency of the college, and soon afterward Professor A. W. Small, '75,
was elected. The vigor and energy of the new administration is a safe assur-
ance that the prosperity of the college, which was never greater than at present,
will continue. Proportionate to the prosperity of the college is the flourishing con-
dition of the Colby chapter. By the graduation of '89 we lost only one man, so
that we came back with twenty-four men. Three Freshmen had been pledged be-
fore entering college, and within a week five more were '* solid " for Delta U. We
" fished " but one man unsuccessfully. They are a splendid set of fellows. On
October 2d occurred the annual initiation. After the initiatory ceremonies had
been performed, the company adjourned to the Elmwood Hotel, where a fine ban-
quet received ample justice.

After the banquet the following toasts were responded to: " Vive la Delta U.,"
Herbert L. McCann, '92; "Our Motto," Herbert R. Purinton, '91; "Our Initi-
ates," Chester H. Sturtevant, '92; "Our Year's Record," Charles A. Merrill, '92;
" Our Alumni," Hugh R. Hatch, '90; " The Loyal Ladies," George H. Dow, '91.
Then followed speeches by the alumni and remarks by Brothers Slocomb and
Getchel, '93. Storms of applause and roars of laughter greeted the happy
toasters.

At a recent meeting of the Junior class, Brothers Purinton, Luce and Dow were
elected President, Historian and Awarder of Prizes, respectively. Brother Burke,
*go, has resigned his position a? managing editor of the Echo y and Brother Hatch,
'go, has been elected to take his place.

Our chapter is now one of the strongest in the Fraternity, numbering thirty-
two men, and is also one of the oldest. In view of these facts, is it unreasonable or
unjust to desire that before many years the annual convention of the Fraternity
may be held at Colby ? In conclusion, we wish our sister chapters all success dur-
ing the coming year, and hope that our great Fraternity may increase in prosperity
and influence year by year in never-ending progression. Our initiates are: Albert
H. Bickmore, Charles F. Fairbrother, Merle S. Getchel, Harry T. Jordan, Jesse
H. Ogier, Albert Robinson, Charles M. Perkins and Joel B. Slocomb.

ROCHESTER UNIVERSITY.

The year begins anew era in the history of the University. For thirty-five
years it has had an increasing prosperity under the leadership of a great man.
Dr. Anderson's eminent executive ability has brought the college up to a standard

42 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

to which few men could have attained. To-day his successor enjoys and appreci-
ates the fruits of his labors. Bringing to his work a warm interest in young men,,
and having a strong desire to pursue 'and inculcate that which is best in modern
systems of education, Dr. Hill's administration promises to be not only popular but
practical. His first words to the students were upon the " Business Value of Col-
lege Training," and were of such a character as to create a very favorable impres-
sion upon business men in the city. Dr. Hill's attitude toward athletics is most
favorable, and he is very positive in expressing his appreciation of their value and
the high place which' they should hold in college training. As regards fraternities
he holds very liberal views, and appears ready to encourage any organization
whose purpose is to aid in the great work of education.

We have secured a splendid delegation of ten new men. Among them are
Clyde E. Marsh, '92, son of the Rev. Forrest A. Marsh, Rochester, '69; Edward-

A. French, '93, brother of Robert T. French, Jr., Amherst, '84, and Francis J.-
French, Rochester, '91; John Knight, '93, son of the Hon. Andrew J. Knight,
Roches ter, '6o; and Howard J. Smith, '93, cousin of Carl H. Smith, Rochester \
'85. Others of our new men are sons of men who are members of other fraterni-
ties in Rochester.

Albert H. Olmsted has returned to college and enters the ranks of '92. Charles
E. Burr, '89, is with us again, and will graduate with '90. Albert H. Wilcox, '90,
is President of the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association, and Charles
S. Brown, '90, is President of the Y. M. C. A.

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE.

When college opened, September 12, five of us girded up our loins and went
to work. Three of our '93 delegation were pledged then, and, thus encouraged,,
we have raised that number to seven. Of necessity we feel the gap in our ranks
from having no representative in '92.

Middlebury has recently received another bequest of $25,000. As the finan-
cial standing of the college improves, her standing in every other way improves also.
Our brother, the Hon. Walter E. Howard, '71, has been elected to the new pro-
fessorship of Constitutional Law, and is filling the position most acceptably. This,
gives us three members of the Faculty, and each of them aids us in every way con-
sistent witn his position.

Brother Goddard, '90, represented the college Y. M. C. A. at Moody's school
at Northfisld list summer. Brother Noonm, '91, is editor-in-chief of the Kalei-
doscope. Brother Flagg, '93, at the recent field meeting, broke the best previous
record for one quarter mile run, bringing down the record six seconds. Our
initiates are : Edgar R. Brown, Jacksonville, Vt.; Roy B. Flagg, Parrishville, N.
Y. ; James Donoway, Vergennes, Vt. ; George L. Hasseltine, Bristol, Vt. ; Frank

B. Nelson, East Middlebury, Vt. ; Gilbert E. Cady, Middlebury, Vt., and Benja-
min C. Miner, New Haven, Vt Brown prepared at North Adams, Flagg at Mid-
dlebury High School; Nelson and Hasseltine at Bristol, Cady, Donoway and
Miner at New Haven Academy. Flagg has two uncles in the Fraternity, viz.: the
Rev. Rufus C. Flagg, '69, and the Rev. James W. Flagg, ^jS. Cady has two-
brothers, the Rev. Martin E. Cady, '69, and the Rev. Henry O. Cady, Not kwe st-
ern, '83.

RUTGERS COLLEGE.

By the graduation of '89 we lost six as stanch supporters of Delta Upsilon as
could be found, and we are glad to have augmented the Delta U. alumni list by
such manly men. We feel assured that our new recruits —one Senior and five
Freshmen, out of our entrance class of forty -eight men — will acquit themselves
creditably.

Our new Senior is Samuel H. Lockett, Jr., of Jersey City. Throughout his
course he has been one of the most active athletes. At the last winter meeting he
won the 100-yards and 2 20- yards dashes, and is captain of the lacrosse team, and
holds other positions of importance. Of our Freshmen, Ellis R. Woodruff was
president of his class in the Grammar School, at the commencement delivered the
valedictory oration, and was also awarded the Rhetorical Honor. His friend
Isaac Wessler, who is also a brother, received honorable mention. Robert D.
Merrill is a brother of Merrill, '87. John S. Van Orden, '90, has a brother in the
entrance class whom we have welcomed as " one with us in principle and purpose,"
together with Charles S. Chamberlain, who is the youngest of five brothers to wear
the badge of Delta U. By these additions our chapter numbers twenty •nine men*
During the summer we received a visit from brother Van Cleve, Lehigh, '90, while
Cornelius I. Haring, Esq., '81, a prosperous lawyer in Milwaukee, paid us a flying
visit Of our '89 men, Maurice J. Thompson, the valedictorian, is studying Black-
stone with Brother William F. Wyckoff, '77, at No. 389 Fulton street, Brooklyn,
N. Y. John P. Street is the computer and chemist in the New Jersey Agricultural
Experiment Station at New Brunswick. Byron Cummings is Instructor in Greek
and German in the Rutgers Grammar School, while John T. E. DeWitt, Charles
Maar and E. W. Thompson have entered* the Theological Seminary. Brother
Kojiro Matsugata, '89, who left us to prosecute a law course at Yale University,
having received the degree of LL.B. last June, is now ambitious enough to be
studying for D.C.L., in the same institution. He spent the summer traveling in
Europe with an older brother.

BROWN UNIVERSITY.

The subject uppermost in our minds is the successful campaign. It has been
many years since the chapter has secured such a promising delegation. Even
President Andrews gladly expressed his approval of the men. We initiated nine
Freshmen, and they possess sterling Delta U. qualities. They have intellectual
ability, and are competent to represent the chapter on the various athletic and
musical organizations. We maintain our reputation as a literary society, and the
effort to uphold our good standing has again been substantially rewarded.

Brother Stockwell, '90, has received the Dunn premium for excellence in
rhetorical studies during the first three years of the course. The new glee club
contains three Delta LVs — Brothers Chase, '92; Lincoln, '92, and Llewellyn, '93.
Brother Birge, '91, directs the Symphony Society. The Senior elections gave
Delta U. a share of the honors. Brother Newell was appointed Class-day orator,
and Brother Stockwell a member of the Class-day Committee. Our hew delegation
has already displayed its ability. In the entrance examination in Greek, the first

44 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

prize was won by Brother Jacobs, and the second prize by Brother Rothwell. The
delegations from '90 and '91 have presented the chapter with a handsome portrait
of our new Delta U. President, Dr. Andrews. It is to adorn our chapter hall as a
type of Delta Upsilon ability, character and attainment. The chapter is in an
excellent condition, and we look forward to a successful year.

MADISON UNIVERSITY.

The new year has brought a spirit of progress and enthusiasm which is
greatly helping the chapter. Larger classes have increased the number of stu-
dents, and the advance made in courses and quality of instruction has materially
improved the standing of the college. Professor Harkness goes to Brown as
Assistant Professor of Latin and Greek, and his place is supplied by Professor F. W.
Colegrove. The entering class numbers fifty, ten of whom are Delta U. *s. We num-
ber, Seniors, 9; Juniors, 8; Sophomores, 7, and Freshmen, 10. Within the past year
methods of chapter work have been changed, and we have sought to make our
meetings full of interest as well as profit. Two or three debates are arranged dur-
ing the term, and the other evenings are taken up with literary critiques, discus-
sions, papers on industrial topics, or original articles and poems. We have found
this plan to produce better results, especially in adding to the interest and enthusi-
asm with which men engage in work.

On the evening of October 18th our annual reception was attended and enjoyed
by about forty couples, including many of our resident alumni. Our chapter-
house was handsomely decorated, and all united in pronouncing this the pleasant-
est and most successful reception ever given by our chapter. Mrs. Professor
Terry, assisted by Mrs. Dr. Burnham, received.

Brothers Retan and Storey, '89, have entered Hamilton Theological Seminary.
Brother Langworthy is pursuing a course in medicine at the University of the
City of New York, and Brother Wishart is preaching at Greene, N. Y.

Brother Butler, '90, is business manager, and Brothers Mallory, '90, and
Knights, '91, are associate editors of the Midisotunsis. Brother. Case, '91, is an
editor on the Salmagundi. We are sorry to lose Brothers Wheat, '90, and Brown,
'91, the former leaving us to enter the University of Michigan, and the latter to
engage in business. Brother Knight, formerly with '91, is principal of the Union
School at Lysander, N. Y.

UNIVERSITY OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK.

The chapter has secured pleasant rooms at 47 University Place, within a few
blocks of the University. Campaign work has been pushed very persistently, and
as a result we have already held three initiations. New life and activity have thus
been added to the chapter, and we are in good trim for our year's work. The new
rooms being light, airy and nicely furnished, give great satisfaction, and are much
frequented by the members. We are pushing the University more than ever, and
expect to have a successful year. The chapter was represented by five men at the
recent convention : Frederick M. Crossett, '84; Charles H. Roberts, '86; William
Francis Campbell, '87; Lincoln Peirce, '90, and Walter C. Reddy, '91.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY.

' The chapter has just passed through the most sad experience in its history.
Brother Harry S. Foskett, '90, on his return to the University this fall, was taken
ill with typhoid fever; for three weeks he made a valiant fight for life, and despite
all efforts in his behalf he died at the chapter-house Saturday morning, October
1 2th. Brother Foskett was the most esteemed member of our chapter. His
noble traits of character had won universal admiration and respect. The chapter
feels deeply this loss, and the memory of our lost brother will not soon fade away.

Although circumstances have been decidedly adverse, we have succeeded re-
markably well in our work. The chapter has initiated seven excellent '93 men.
We returned this fall with nineteen members. The Campaign Committee, consist-
ing of three Seniors, two Juniors and two Sophomores, has proved very valuable.
Owing to our inability to have the " rush 1 ' meetings in the house, the main part ot
the work has devolved on the committee, as a result, the strong and weak
points of this system of •« rushing" have been evinced. We are more than confi-
dent that the committee is a success; and the experience of this fall will prove
useful for next year.

Dr. William E. Simonds, Brown, '83, who was one of our faculty members
last year, has accepted the Professorship of English at Knox University, Gales-
burg, HI. We are very sorry to lose Dr. Simonds, who by his warm fraternal
feeling had won a firm place in the hearts of all.

We welcome as a member of our chapter Brother Auel, Columbia, '92. Our
representation on the Cornell Magazine consists of two Seniors. We feel proud of
this, because there are only five editors in all, and the positions are especially
meritorious. We also have an editor on the college annual, the CornelHan.
Brother Emerick was elected Junior President at the recent class elections.

MARIETTA COLLEGE.

College opened this fall with the largest attendance since its foundation.
Through the efforts of Professor Hulbert, Middlebury, '79, the interest in athletic
sports is being revived, and a fall field day in the interest of the literary societies is
one of the results. Professor Hulbert has also been instrumental in establishing a
Scientific Association, which is awakening a great deal of interest in the college
and town. The chair of Mathematics, formerly occupied by Brother Oscar 4 H.
Mitchell, '75, has been filled by Professor Metzler, a graduate of Johns Hopkins
University.

The first movement toward a chapter-house here has been made by Alpha
Sigma Phi. They have purchased a lot at a convenient distance from the college,
upon which they expect to build as soon as possible. This is a step in the right
direction, and we congratulate them upon it

Our Chapter is in excellent condition, both in numbers and in fraternity spirit.
We lost only one man in '89, and out of the thirty Freshmen we have admitted
five good men, giving us the largest chapter membership here. Last Commence-
ment we initiated from the Academy three men, C. W. Bartlett, Parkersburg, W .
Va.; W. S. Miller, Cincinnati, O.; E. C. Shedd, Oroomiah, Persia. This fall we

46 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

admitted two more men, Douglas P. Morrison, Marietta, O., and E. J. Hay ward,
Beverly, O. Brother Hayward was prepared for college at Beverly College, this
State, and Brother Morrison at Bett's Academy, Connecticut. £. C. Shedd is a
brother of W. A. Shedd, '87, and J. C. Shedd, '91. We have our usual number
of men on the staff of the college paper, and among the offices of the classes and
literary societies. At the recent election in the Oratorical Association, Brother
Jones, '91, and Brother Cooper, '92, were chosen to fill two of the three offices.

Brother Shedd, '91, has been distinguishing himself by rejuvenating the old
" College Clock," which has not been running for a quarter of a century. Brother
Sheets, '91, has been compelled to drop out this year on account of his father's ill-
health. Brother Belford, '92, is managing his father's farm for the present, and
we hope to see him among us again next year.

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY.

The burdens of "rushing" have rested lightly on us this fall, and we hope all
our sister chapters have fared as well and are equally satisfied. Spirited and brave,
our twenty-seven men still unfurl the banner of gold and blue from the highest
strongholds in our busy university life, reaping their share of honors and gaining
new vantage ground constantly. Heretofore our chapter has had good reason to
report prestige and influence through the pages of the Quarterly, and surely at
the present writing she can speak of a greater strength, a wider influence and a
better discipline than in any previous year of her history.

Many of our alumni have achieved success, and now occupy conspicuous
positions in public affairs. They support us most loyally, while it stimulates us
greatly to know that they stand ready to aid us financially and to encourage and
advise us in any political or social difficulty. It was these brothers who provided
us with a chapter-house, the advantages of which we fully appreciate. Further,
we congratulate ourselves that our chapter is so largely represented on our faculty.
Four of that body are Delta U.'s — Professors Smalley, Peck, Lyford and A. B.
Clark.

Our chapter has secured a splendid delegation of Freshmen. Already they are
typical, enthusiastic Delta U.'s— men whom we feel will honor their Fraternity and
uphold her interests. Financially, we were never in better condition ; socially, we
stand high in college circles, and consider some of our men leaders in society mat-
ters; in scholarship we are surpassed by no other fraternity.

We welcome back Brother Brackett, '89, who left college last November on
account of sickness. He will graduate in '90. About one hundred and sixty-five
students entered the University this fall in the Liberal and the Fine Arts Colleges,
from which the fraternities draw most of their men. Our initiates are Charles A.
Metz, William H . Perry, Henry Phillips, E. M. TenBroeck, L. D. Van Arnam, B.
C. Richardson, Henry Hoar, W. H. Wakeham, and L. M. Walsworth. To every
brother we extend a hearty invitation to visit us at our house. Remember that
our latch string is always out and our doors always open.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.

Nearly 300 more students have matriculated than at this time last year, and
prospects are good that the total enrollment will not fall far short of 2,200, in

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 47

which case the University will undoubtedly take rank as the largest in the
country, unless our Harvard brothers can persuade a few more unwary Fresh-
men to try life at Cambridge. The Faculty has undergone a number of changes,
which have in no case been detrimental. Certainly the admission of one or two
more Delta U. instructors will not prove a mistake. Our chapter is represented
by no full-fledged professor in this institution, but we have five " tutes," of whom
we are proud. They are all going to be professors some of these days. We
think this method of securing representatives in the Faculty vastly preferable to
that of voting in as honorary members those who have already established their
reputation. A large Freshman class causes all the fraternities to open the
campaign with more than usual energy, and competition for desirable men is very
sharp. Usually a majority of the Freshmen initiates are practically pledged before
they reach Ann Arbor. . While Delta Upsilon is a little more conservative in this
respect than her rivals, we are enabled, through the number of our alumni who
hold positions in high schools, to learn of many men who are unknown to the
other fraternities. After a man is favorably recommended, he must be a very pre-
possessing candidate to run the gauntlet of the objections which always arise
when a name is first proposed. We have initiated four men, are reasonably sure
of two others, and by Christmas expect to have a delegation of seven or eight.

Twenty-four active members returned at the beginning of the semester, who
are distributed as follows : Seniors, 8; Juniors, 5; Sophomores, 9; Law, 1; Medi-
cal, 1. Post-graduates : Sherzer, '89; Perry, '88; Corbin, '86, and Clark, '87.
We have the pleasure of welcoming to our chapter this year Brothers Wheat,
from Madison^ and Plant, from Amherst. The former enters '90, and the latter

v.

The subject of fraternity relations is somewhat trite ; concerning it we can
only say that everything is in statu quo. We are friendly enough with other fra- •
ternities, vote with them, and are not yet on the Palladium board, though we
think the time is not very distant when we will be admitted. A singular impres-
sion seems to prevail among some of the fraternity now here that at a recent
convention Delta Upsilon changed her constitution and became a secret society.

Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Alpha Epsilon established chapters here
during the last year. Although both fraternities secured as good men as could be
expected under the circumstances, Michigan University has no need of any fur-
ther missionary work, and the policy of the fraternities already here is to dis-
courage it as far as possible.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

The chapter is now enjoying its elegant new quarters in the Masonic Temple.
We were endeared to the old hall, but increase in strength and numbers necessi-
tated a place corresponding to our present size. The new apartments consist of a
large main hall, with ample space for our needs ; a tasty reception room, an ante-
room, a neat library, and two very comfortable students' rooms. These are all
elegantly furnished. We are proud to present this as the best fraternity outfit in*
the Athens of the West.

48 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

Since last you heard from us through the Quarterly we have been making
unusual strides toward our ideal. The present year opens more auspiciously than
any preceding one. Although we have lost in the class of '89, men who have
brought glory and honor to us, we have replaced them by seven strong Freshmen.
We have at present 21 men, comprising — Seniors : William A. Burch, Charles M.
Denny, Frederick C. Demorest, William R. Parkes, Robert H. Holden, Joseph H.
Odgers, and Elvin E. Scott. Juniors : John H. Haggerty, Ray C. Harker, Erman
J. Ridgway, and William B. Walrath. Sophomores : J. S. Graham, Hart Ray
Sweeney, and William Doble. Freshmen : Avery Hayes, of Kings, 111. ; William

guson, Malta, 111. Brothers Hayes, Ferguson, Way, Aldrich and Walker prepared
at the Northwestern Preparatory School.

The Senior Presidency has been given to Brother Denny, and Brothers Hag-
gerty, Demorest and Holden are to represent us in the Adelphic Contest.
Brother Harker is one of the speakers for the Norton Prize Contest. Erman J.
Ridgeway has charge of the Elocution Department in Preparatory, and Brother
Demorest has been appointed one of the teachers of mathematics in the same place.
Brother Ridgeway is captain of the foot-ball team, and other Delta U.'s will play
with it. We have three promising men in the Fourth Year Preparatory, who
take care of our interest in that quarter.

Our relations with other fraternities are not so strained as of old. The so-
called Pan-Hellenic was not a very brilliant success, and the Beta Theta Pi's, Phi
Kappa Psi's, and Sigma Chi's, found that, in the Pan-Hellenic or out of it, we
could hold our own against their combined forces. Every day we gather strength
as well as encouragement from our alumni. Many of them find time to drop in,
give us a cheering word, and help us by their counsel. We are looking forward
with a great deal of pleasure to the convention to be held with us next year. We
hope to give the boys a royal welcome, and show them that some of the brain,
brawn and hospitality of America is in the West. We are glad to believe that the
time is coming when our great University, near our great city, in the center of the
continent, will be heard from with no uncertain sound.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

We of Harvard hardly know what "rushing" means. We seldom take in
any Freshmen in the fall, and when we do, rarely have to contest with another
society. There are so many men to choose from that we think it well to give each
class a year to show what there is in it before we make our selection. We have
taken in a Senior already, Louis Henry Dow, of Cambridge, Mass., and usually
have a fall initiation in November.

This has been an active year with the college. A new athletic field, large
enough for two diamonds, has been opened ; work begun on a new building for
the use of the crew, the nine, the eleven, and other teams ; a building is to go up
by the river for the extension of rowing as a pastime, and an old English gate of

brick and hand-wrought-iron, worth $10,000, is nearly completed. This forms a
very imposing entrance to our "yard."

In the award of scholarships based on the work of last year, five Delta U.'s
were included. They receive an aggregate income of $1,100. Nine of our men
went to the Brown initiation on Friday, October nth, and were very cordially
received by the brothers there. We have a profound respect for the record of the
Brown chapter, and a warm regard for the present members. Brawn's new Delta
U.'s president, Dr. Andrews, says that the initiates of this fall are the best the
chapter has ever had ; and we are glad to say that, as far as we could observe, we
think so too. We think it strengthens vastly the fraternity spirit to have men of
different chapters meet and mingle ; and we should like to have every chapter in
New England represented at our spring initiation.

The committee on literary interests, which I mentioned in the last Quar-
terly, has reported a scheme for literary work which may interest the other chap-
ters. It is substantially as follows: The Vice-President is made responsible for the
appearance of something literary at every meeting. At the beginning of the year
he arranges the members in pairs, and assigns each pair of names to certain days
of regular meeting, until he has provided two men for each meeting of the year.
The list of the assignments is posted, and members are notified that on the days to
which they are assigned they are expected to take literary parts. This arrange-
ment furnishes the basis of literary work. The Vice-President has power to add
to the programme speeches by other members, discussions, addresses by gradu-
ates, or anything else of interest, and the chorister is expected to provide music
whenever he can. The scheme has already gone into operation and promises to
work well. The officers for the first term of 1889-90 are: President, R. £. Dodge,
'90; Vice-President, C. P. Blaney, '90; Recording Secretary, F. L. Jervis, '91;
Treasurer, A. S. Hayes, '91; Chorister, W. G. Howard, '91; Librarian, O. B.
Roberts, '90.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.

The chapter for four years has been steadily reporting progress; now she is
able to greet the Quarterly with the announcement of a boom. We have already
initiated seven men this year, numbering some of the best talent from the four
classes of the University. This may not seem much to those familiar with the
large chapters of the East, but on the closely-fought ground of the University of
Wisconsin it is a grand success. We are not content to stop here, however, but
hope to report more good news in our next letter.

The University opens the year with increased numbers of professors and stu-
dents. No official announcement of the number of students has yet been made,
but it is estimated at over eight hundred, with a Freshman class of over two hun-
dred in the collegiate departments proper. Among the new members of the Faculty
is Professor Charles E. Bennett, Brown, '78, who takes the chair of Latin.

The chapter is pleasantly located in new and well-furnished rooms, and enjoys
the prospect of success in all directions. The honor list of our present members
far exceeds that of any other chapter in the institution. With increased numbers

we shall be able to dp more socially than in the past, and we expect to improve our
opportunities. Though athletics do not play so important a part here as in the
East, our men take fully as much interest in college sports as do the average stu-
dents. We have just fitted up a fine tennis court, conveniently situated to the rooms
of most of the members. One of the most pleasant features of fraternity life is meet-
ing with Delta U.'s from other chapters. Owing to our location such meetings are
comparatively rare for us, but they are always heartily appreciated. Madison is
situated on the direct routes of travel between Chicago and the Northwest, and
many Delta U.'s must pass through the city. To all we say, stop and see us. We
are always glad to welcome brothers, and glad to have them see us and our Uni-
versity.

Our chapter numbers fifteen men, with good prospects for more. Our new
initiates are: Horace Prentiss Boardman, '93, Madison, Wis.; Walter McMynn
Smith, '90, Madison, Wis. ; Andrew Alexander Bruce, '90, Madison, Wis. ; Theo^
dore Kronshage, '91, Boscobel, Wis.; Henry Elmer Willsie, '92, 824 Cass street,
La Crosse, Wis. ; Warren Downes Tarrant, '90, Durand, Wis., and Ralph Waldo
Trine, '91, Mt. Morris, III. *

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE.

College opened September 12th with ninety-five new men. Most of the old
men are back, so Lafayette bids fair to have a prosperous year. The boys have
settled down to the usual routine, and little occurs to relieve the monotony.
Lafayette is more quiet this year than formerly, as the Faculty have forbidden the
customary cane-rush between the two lower classes.

Delta U. regrets the loss of quite a number of men, nine in all. Brothers
Grube, Price, Gemmill and Dumont have graduated, and Brothers Dewey, Walters,
Seip, Sciple and Griffith have not returned.

Delta U<, as usual, sends her representation to the ministry.

Of the four who graduated, three are in the theological seminaries — Brother
Gemmill, at McCormick, in Chicago ; Price, at Princetqn ; Grube, at Union, and
Walters, '90, has entered the seminary at Gettysburg. Brother Dumont has
accepted a position on an engineering corps of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
and Frank Dewey, '90, has gone to Amherst, Brothers Seip and Sciple are in
business, the former in New York City and the" latter with his father, in Easton.
Eugene H. Griffith, '91, is in the newspaper business with his father, the editor of
the Cumberland, Md., News.

Delta U. is influential in almost every sphere of college life. David L. Glover
is President of the Franklin Literary Society, and in Washington Literary Society
Brother Tyler is Recording Secretary, and another brother is Secretary of the
Literary Committee. Brother Glover has the important position of centre-rush on
the college foot-ball team, and is also President of the Athletic Association, of
which S. Yamada is Treasurer. William G. McKinney has been elected leader of
the chapel choir.

But two men have been initiated into Delta U. this term— Charles E. Dare, '92,
Rising Sun, Md., and E. C. Hammond, '93, Cumberland, Md. He prepared

We are not strong in numbers,

But we work and toil together

Five years have we existed

As a band of Delta U.,
Many foes have we resisted

Beneath that royal banner

With justice for his guide
Who would not surely conquer,

Since truth is on his side ?

We are strongly knit together

In the work we have to do

Of our own dear Delta U.

Soon we shall all be scattered,

Each entering the world's mad strife,

But the bonds formed here shall hold us
Ever brothers throughout life.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE.

The Columbia chapter sends a cordial invitation to all Delta U.'s visiting in
New York this winter to come and visit her in her comfortable rooms in the Delta
Upsilon Club House.

m The year bids fair to be an unusually prosperous one for us, as we are well
represented among the class officers recently elected on the glee and banjo clubs,
and will take a good stand in athletics.

Our fall initiation will soon take place, by which several desirable men will be
added to our numbers. The college year at Columbia has opened brilliantly. The
Freshman class is larger than for any preceding year, and is a strong, fine-looking
set of men. Our Freshman crew this year will doubtless be a better one than we
have turned out for many years. The Hon. Seth Low has been elected to the
presidency of the college, and has accepted.

Many improvements, especially in athletics, will probably be made in the col-
lege. Mr. Low will meet with a hearty welcome, for he is just the man we want.

LEHIGH UNIVERSITY.

The year opens prosperously with an unusually large Freshman class — there
being one hundred and seventy-eight men admitted out of over three hundred
applicants. A few changes in the Faculty have taken place, and are as follows :
The Rev. A. M. Snyder, chaplain, having resigned, his position is temporarily
filled by the Rev. Mr. Kay. In the department of chemistry Paul Dashiels, A.B.,
Johns Hopkins, succeeds C. W. Marsh, Ph.D. ; E. A. Congdon, Ph.B., Columbia,
succeeds L. R. Lenox, who, in turn, fills the vacancy left by G. M. Richardson.
In the department of electrical engineering R. O. Heinrich, Lehigh, '88, has re-
turned to college as an additional instructor. In the civil engineering department,
R. M. Wilcox, C.E., Sheffield, and T. W. Sherwood, A.B., C.E., Union, succeed
S. W. Frischolm and S. V. Rice. Delta U., though handicapped at the start by the
loss of several men, is again on its feet and strong as ever. We have removed to new
quarters in the post office building, Bethlehem, though hope, before many months
pass by, to announce our address as the "Delta^Upsilon House."

Brother Clarke, '90, has left college to accept a position in an electric light
plant at Lynn, Mass. Brother Stone, '91, has returned to New Orleans, where he
is engaged with the Gulf Shot and Lead Works. Brother Howard, '92, has also
left us for his home in Maryland. Delta U. is, as usual, well represented in college
life. On the publications we have Brother Fink, '90, treasurer of the board of
the Engineering Journal, and Brother Paine, '91, an editor and secretary of the
Epitome board. Brother Paine is also treasurer of his class. We are represented
in the Engineering Society, in the Mining Club and in the Chemical Society.
Brother Warriner is captain of the foot-ball eleven and a member of the executive
committee of the Athletic Association. In the choir we have three men — Paine,
'91, Shelly, '92, and JLowry, '93 ; in the glee club one man, Brother Paine.
With an active chapter as a whole and with a good Freshman delegation, Delta
Upsilon at Lehigh is safe.

TUFTS COLLEGE.

The college year has opened very auspiciously for the Tufts chapter. We
have secured five good men— a number as large as usual. We held our initiation
and banquet at the Thorndike the evening of the 29th of October. The initiates
were : Joseph Warren Putnam, '91, Isaac Russel Edmands, '91, Edward Jarvis
Hunt, 92, Henry Sumner Swain, '92, and William Andrew Flynn, '93. Brother
Hugh R. Hatch, of Colby, who was their delegate to the convention, favored us
with his presence, but unfortunately, on account of a previous engagement, could
not stay to respond to the toast. One of the greatest difficulties our chapter has
to contend with in the rushing season is the fact that the other two Greek-letter
societies who have been established here much longer than Delta U. have men
come to them already pledged or strongly influenced toward them by their alumni.

Brother Eddy, '89, and Maxham, '89, have returned to the Divinity School,
and besides these we have Brother Lamson with us as the Walker Instructor in
Mathematics, and Brother Durkee as Instructor in Chemistry.

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 53

Brother J. B. Weeks, who formerly was a special '91 man, entered the regular
class of '93 this fall.

DE PAUW UNIVERSITY.

The enrollment in the University has reached seven hundred and fifty— ex-
ceeding any previous enrollment of the first term. The Freshman Class numbers
one hundred and twenty-five men. Vice-President John succeeds President Mar-
tin, resigned, as Acting-President of the University. Under his careful and judi-
cious administration a successful year is fully assured.

The year opens very favorably for Delta Upsilon. Last year was one of
steady and permanent growth. Our prospects for this year are even better than
they were last year. Of the sixteen men who left college at last Commencement
two graduated and four others did not return. However, two returned who were
not in college last year, making in all about twelve men with whom to begin the
year's work. Of these, three are Seniors, four are Juniors, and five Sophomores.
Our new initiates are : William A. Thornburg, '92, Farmland, Ind. ; Frank Evans,
*93» Newcastle, Ind. ; Elmer C. Mecham, '93, Mazon, III ; William W. Lewis,
•93, Greencastle, Ind. ; John Slavens, '93, Falls City, Neb., and James Hamilton,
'93, Morganville, Ind. Of these the first named were prepared in the De Pauw
Normal School; the remainder, in the De Pauw Preparatory School. Delta U. is
proud of her success. Our Freshman delegation, we think, is surpassed by none.
There has been comparatively little "rushing" done here this year. So far, no
strife has arisen between rival fraternities. This is largely due to the Pan-Hellenic
spirit

Since the abolition of the prize system more attention has been given to honor
work. In this we shall be well represented this year. On the college paper we
have one of the associated editors and one of the directors. We are all in earnest,
and intend to make this the most prosperous year of our history.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.

College opened this year with greatly-increased attendance and a bright out-
look for Delta U. Up to date we have only brought in five new men, but we
believe that the best plan is to take plenty of time in selecting men, for the future
life of the chapter depends on the choice of men whose tastes are congenial and
who will never bring discredit upon our brotherhood. The names of the new men
are Ryland W. 'Greene, '92, Merchantville, N. J.; Howard Persifor Smith, '92, of
Camden, N. J. ; Charles Doughterty, '92, Philadelphia, Pa. ; John H. Ruckman,
'93, of Philadelphia, and Norman Essig, of the Medical Department. Brother
Greene's father, Charles W. Greene, M. D., is a Delta U. alumnus of Colby ^ '63.
Besides these there are several '93 men who expect to join us as soon as circum-
stances permit Our new rooms at 11 15 Chestnut street are in every respect
satisfactory, and, on account of their central location, very convenient

WILLIAMS COLLEGE.

'36. Josiah Lyman, a charter member of the Fraternity, a native of Easthamp-
ton, and brother of Lauren D. Lyman, died at the home of his brother, in Spring-
field, Mass., October 6th. He was born October 9, 181 1, in the house where he
died, and was the son of Lieutenant Daniel Lyman and grandson of Benjamin
Lyman, who settled fn town in 1745. Graduating from Williams in 1836, he
taught in an English and classical school in Canaan, N. Y., for two years, after-
ward for a short time at Ithaca, N. Y., and then at Easthampton. He studied
theology at Auburn, N. Y., and was licensed to preach in the fall of 1843. After
this he taught in Bristol* Conn., and served as principal of an academy at Willis-
ton, Vt. t and Lenox, until compelled by ill health to relinquish sedentary pursuits.
For many years his business was that of a telescope manufacturer and civil engi-
neer. A reflecting telescope of his manufacture is the best, as it is the largest of
its kind, ever made in this country. He also invented an instrument called the
protracting trigometer, a very superior drafting instrument. He married Miss
Mary Bingham, daughter of Reuben Bingham, of Cornwall, Vt., May 22, 1844,
who survives him. He leaves a son, Albert J. Lyman, Pastor of the South Congre-
gational Church, Brooklyn, N. Y'., and a daughter, Sarah Bingham, wife of the
Rev. F. W. Baldwin, pastor of the First Congregational Church, Chelsea, Mass.
He was a member of the Congregational Church at Lenox, where he has spent
most of his life, but recently has lived at his old home on Park Hill, with his
brother. He was a man of sterling qualities and always lived, up to the high
standard of the Lyman family, having an unblemished Christian character.

'38. Ex-Governor William Bross, of Illinois, has recently given $50,000 to Lake
Forest University, for the founding of a chair in Bible study.

'40. Eliphalet Whittlesey died at Elwood, N. J., September 1, 1889, at the age
of seventy-two. He was born in Salisbury, Conn., July 13, 1816 ; graduated
from college in 1840, and from the Union Theological Seminary in 1843; ordained
a missionary of the American Board to Maui, Sandwich Islands, September 27,
1843, and labored there 1844-54, when, through failing health, he returned, and
resided in New Jersey, first at Hammonton and then at Elwood. He never fully
recovered his health after leaving the Islands, but preached temporarily in several
places. In later years he became interested in Swedenborgian views, and withdrew
from Congregational associations. He was a man of gentleness of demeanor and
possessed of many excellent traits of character. — Hartford Religious Herald.

'41. The Rev. Orramel Wellington Cooley died May 6, 1887, at Glenwood, la.
In early life he was pastor of a church at Dover, Mass., for three years. His de-

56 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

sign to enter foreign mission work was prevented by ill health, and, going West, he
preached four years in Granville, I1L During the rebellion he did Christian work
in the army; in 1867 he became pastor of a church in Glenwood, la., and four
years later was chosen president of the female seminary in that town, which posi-
tion he held eleven years. He was invited to a professorship in Baltimore Female
College, but after a short time there 'was compelled, by the failing of his wife's
health, to return to Chicago; he preached in the suburbs of that city until called
to Lanark, 111. His health failing after two years, he went back to Glenwood,
where he died.

'43. Judge John E. Mann has recently been re-elected County Judge at Milwau-
kee, Wis.

'47. Andrew Lansing died at his home in Watervliet, N. Y., April 23, 1889. He
was born in Cohoes in 1826, and was graduated from college in 1847. He lived
as a farmer at Crescent, near Cohoes, and at the time of his death was an elder in
the Dutch Reformed Church of the latter place. His widow and a son and
daughter survive him.

'48. The Hon. Thomas Jefferson King died at Machias, N. Y., November 5,
1889. The Cattaraugus Star of November 14th contains his portrait and a three -
column account of his life, from which we take these facts. Dr. King was born in
Easthampton, L. I., June 4, 1829, prepared at the Clinton Academy, at which he
afterward taught, and graduated from college in 1848. In 1852 he entered the
Albany Medical College, receiving his degree in 1855. He settled in Machias in
1856, and was the only physician there for over twenty years. Dr. King married
Miss Mary E. Farrar, in i860, and two sons, Dr. Clarence and Harold, survive.
Dr. King was elected to the State Legislature in 1876 and again in 1877. As a
physician he stood in the front rank, and of late years his services as consulting
physician have been much in demand. A ripe scholar and a leader in thought, an
active and public-spirited citizen, his death creates a vacancy that cannot easily be
filled. Eighteen physicians from out of town attended the funeral, attesting Dr.
King's popularity among the profession.

'51. Rufus James Bell died May 27, 1889, at Wilkes Barre, Penn., aged sixty.
He was born in Troy, N. Y., 1829; fitted for college at Burr Seminary, Manches-
ter, Vt. ; graduated from Williams in 1851, and studied after graduation at
the Harvard Law School. He ^as admitted to practice in Albany in 1853, and
until his removal to Wilkes Barre, in 1864, practiced in New York City. He was
made a member of the bar of Luzerne County, Penn., in 1864. Mr. Bell was a
man of commanding figure and splendid address. He was a vigorous newspaper
writer and a leader in labor contests. He was industrious and painstaking, and
discussed legal propositions with great ability and learning.

'51. Waldo W. Ludden, formerly of Ord, Neb., removed to Southern California
last year for his health. He is now a fruit-raiser at Beaumont, Cal.

He consented to it as an experiment, and told me in New York this week that it
had been a happy factor of asylum life, and the inmates of the asylum have been
much benefited. The patients have been permitted to come out in the open air
and watch the sport, and have taken the deepest interest in it, forgetting for a time
the things that have clouded their minds, and making them tractable and reason-
able to a considerable degree. The nine have even played match games with nines
from surrounding villages, and Dr. Talcott proudly exhibits a record of fifteen
such matches in which the asylum nine won eleven times and tied once, suffering
only three defeats."

REVIEWS.

"Coal and the Coal Mines." By Homer Greene, Union, '76. i6mo. Houghton,
Mifflin & Co., 1889.

This neat little volume, which forms the fifth of the * * Riverside Library for
Young People," is well suited to give a young person a good idea of the formation
of coal and of the history of its use as one of the great agents of modern civiliza-
tion. The author carries us back to the beginning, and carefully traces the geo-
logical theories of the growth of the coal beds and of the forces that brought them
to their present positions* Then he gives us a minute description of the discovery
of coal and of the methods of mining. Starting with a description of the coal
districts of this country, Mr. Greene carefully describes the various ways of open-
ing a mine and of developing it. He then tells us of the life of the miner himself
and of the wages paid. The volume ends with a glossary of mining terms.
While the work is intended for young people, it contains many points of interest to*
the ordinary reader. We can commend it to any one who wishes to obtain a.
popular idea of the subject.

"Seven Thousand Words often Mispronounced." By W. H. P. Phyfe. i6mo,
cloth, $1.25. G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1889.

In this new volume dealing with the pronunciation of words the author de-
parts from those who have preceded him by introducing a large number of words
and phrases from foreign languages. As he says, " No other similar book pre-
tends to give a list in any way approaching it for cbmpleteness." This we think
is his weak point. A work of its handy size should contain only such words as one
meets in ordinary reading or such as one would use in conversation. Other words
should be left to the large dictionary. The author would do well to increase the
number of words, thus making the work one of reference, or, if he prefer the small*,
handy form, the number of words should be reduced by omitting those foreign
words not used in ordinary works of history and fiction. S. S. H.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL MILLER.

William Henry Harrison Miller, Hamilton, '61, whose por-
trait is given on the opposite page, was elected President of
the Fraternity by the last annual convention. This is the
second time that he has held this position, having been pre-
viously chosen President by the convention held with the
Colby chapter at Waterville, Me., on May 15 and 16, 1861. At
the time that Mr. Miller was in college, the Hamiltoii chapter
was enjoying much prosperity and numbered over thirty
names on its membership roll. Mr. Miller took an active in-
terest in fraternity affairs, and was the senior delegate from his
chapter to the convention of 186 1. In this convention he first
held the chairmanship of an important committee and later
was elected President.

In a recent number of the University John C. Carter gives
this sketch of Mr. Miller's life :

78 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

' * Hamilton College is again fortunate in its list of distinguished grad-
uates. In New York, among the lawyers, we know and highly respect
Theodore W. Dwight, of the Columbia College Law Department, and
the Hon. Elihu Root, late United States District Attorney for New York.
Without looking into the lists of distinguished clergymen and physicians
who claim Hamilton as their Alma Mater, we are glad to add to the list
of lawyers the name of William Henry Harrison Miller, now Attorney-
General of the United States. Mr. Miller was born in Oneida county,
State of New York, in 1840. Early in life he developed a love for study,
and at the age of early manhood he entered Hamilton College, and was
graduated w T ith honor just at the time of the breaking out of the rebel-
lion. He entered the army as a lieutenant in the Eighty-fourth Ohio
regiment. After serving in West Virginia and Maryland, he left the
service, and in October, 1862, went to Toledo, where he entered the law
office of the late Chief-Justice Waite, as a student. Having been offered
the position of superintendent of schools in Peru, Indiana, Mr. Miller
left Toledo and went to Peru, where he remained until 1865. During
this time he devoted all the spare moments allowed by his official duties
to the study of the law. In the spring of 1866 he commenced the prac-
tice of his law 7 profession in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he remained for
eight years, building up, by his untiring devotion and industry an ex-
cellent practice. In 1874 he removed to Indianapolis, and became a
partner of General, now President, Benjamin Harrison and Judge C. C.
Hines. After that time he continued to reside in Indianapolis until last
spring, when he was appointed by President Harrison, Attorney -General
of the United States."

IMAGINATION.

This genie, from his secret cave,

Rising unheralded and swift —
Thrall of the lamp, too proud and grave
To come when men his presence crave, —

His fabrics w r eird how doth he lift ?

Ever, with little care or thrift,
He mingles with his flame, stern slave,

As into place his arches drift,

And into shape his colors shift,
The drops thy living heart that lave.

Richard Edwin Day, Syracuse, '77.

PRESIDENT ANDREWS.

Brown University, in September, 1889, stood on the threshold
of a new era in its history. Educators beheld with doubtful
satisfaction her struggle to arouse from lethargic sleep, and
secretly admired her staggering yet persistent efforts to meet
the progressive demands of the youth who thronged its por-
tals. While this would-be rejuvenation of college spirit
attracted universal attention, the center of interest was and is
now its newly elected President.

Elisha Benjamin Andrews was born at Hinsdale, N. H.,
January 10, 1844. Graduating at Brown in 1870 he imme-
diately became principal of the Connecticut Literary Institute
at Suffield, Conn. In 1872 he entered Newton Theological
Seminary and graduated in 1874. In the following July he
was ordained pastor of the Baptist church at Beverly, Mass.,
where he remained a year and then became President of Deni-

80 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

son Universitj', Granville, Ohio. In 1879 he accepted the
professorship of homiletics, pastoral duties and church polity
at Newton. In 1882 he left Newton and spent about a year
in Germany, studying in Berlin, Munich and Gottingen.
While abroad he was called to the professorship of history and
political economy at Brown as the successor of the late Pro-
fessor Diman. A year ago he was appointed professor of
political economy and finance at Cornell, and last June was
unanimously elected President of Brown.

The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by Colby in
1884. andLL. D. by the University of Nebraska in the same
year.

Dr. Andrews is a man pf exceptionally broad training, and
has been a special student in many departments of science and
philosophy. He places scholarship above all political in-
fluences and consideration, and agrees with Emerson that to
the seeker after truth * ' nothing is at last sacred but the integ-
ritj' of your own mind." He often says that "no truth is of
private interpretation," and his own liberal, aggressive views
and broad, catholic sympathy exemplify the statement. His
special departments are history and political economy, and he
has issued a text book on each subject. At present he is
teaching psychology and ethics in addition to his executive
duties.

As an instructor Dr. Andrews instils his own enthusiasm
into his pupils and imparts his own knowledge with a readi-
ness and lucidity truly marvelous. He has a multitude of
curious catching words, and an inexhaustible fund of anec-
dotes which are mingled and interwoven with rare skill. His
enthusiasm and humor are contagious, and his lectures in all
departments are the acme of fascination.

President Andrews is agreeably cosmopolitan in tastes and
manner, and has not that austere, repellant dignity which
characterizes the typical college president. His liberal thought
and aggressive temperament have placed him among the fore-
most educators and students of the day. Always open to

ARTEMIS. 81

conviction from every source, always alert to seize the truth in
whatever form, he has stored his mind with golden treasures
of knowledge, and filled his soul with noble traits of character.
He is the epitome of all the truths which he teaches, and
a worthy example to every student.

His administrative policy is progressive and is accomplished
by accepted and successful methods. Kind words replace
harsh commands, and he always regards the students as men,
not school boys. Still a young man, he is fond of young men,
but his love for youth never lapses into injudicious leniency.

President Andrews is an enthusiastic Delta U. and beneath
his official dignity an ardent love for the Fraternity silently
smoulders awaiting the opportunit}^ for an outburst of that
spirit of fellowship which is the heritage of every loyal son.
The fraternity points to Brother Andrews — for such we
can call him — with commendable pride as the Delta Upsilon
type of character, ability and attainment.

ARTEMIS.

Not as the many-breasted Eastern One,

With blood of slain things worshipped in the night,
Art thou when present to my inner sight ;

Nor like to her beheld by Acteon

Rising with dawn, behind her hounds to run,
Who slew the woodland creatures by her might ;
Nor yet seem'st thou that image of affright

Which judgeth mortals when this life is done.

I see thee ever in thy maiden guise,

With smouldering love within thy half- closed eyes,

Flying between the heavens and the deep,
Or see thee stooping thro' the wondering air
To kiss the Prince Endymion, who lay there

Worn with the breath of kisses given in sleep.

Hugh McCuixoch, Jr., Harvard, '91

DESTINY.

I stood, once, on a sandy beach,

And, as I stood, within my reach

The ocean threw a round, white stone,

Only the one ; it was alone.

I lifted it, I turned it o'er,

I looked. I saw a word — no more.

Saw ? Still see, though years are passed,

See, and cannot from me cast

That one word— "Doomed !"

"Doomed !" I cried, as through me rushed

The death throbs of a spirit crushed.

"Doomed !" I shrieked, as dreadful fear

Froze within me every tear.

"Doomed !" the mad, wild waves replied,

Roaring, crashing at my side.

"Doomed !" The wavelets out at sea,

Laughing, mocking, cried to me

That one word— 4 'Doomed ! " J

Oh, the terrible despair
That laid iron fingers on me there !
Oh, the wearying, anxious fear
That follows me so near, so near !
Oh, that ghastly, gruesome stone,
That sent me back to life alone,
Wand' ring now from land to land,
Burned with that one scorching brand,
That one word— "Doomed !"

Oh, I can't endure it more;
I cannot live, and o'er and o'er
Hear that blasting word of death,
Feel, O Fate, thy cold, damp breath.
Live, I will not. Doom, away !
Thou for once shalt lose thy prey.
Fate, thou art defied, and Fear —
Can this be Death ? No more I hear
That one word— "Doomed !"

WILLIAM H. P. FAUNCE.

The Rev. W. H. P. Faunce, Brown, '80, who has recently
assumed the pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church of
New York, the leading church of the denomination, is a de-
scendant of the Pilgrim stock. Six generations of his an-
cestors are buried in the old Burying Hill at Plymouth, Mass.

Brother Faunce was born in Worcester, Mass., in 1859, his
father being a Baptist clergyman, who is now settled at New-
ton, Mass. He fitted for college in the High School at Con-
cord, N. H. , entered Brown University in 1876, graduating
with the classical honor in 1880. During his college course
he took the President's second Latin Premium, the Dunn Pre-
mium, the first Carpenter Prize in Elocution, was an editor of the
Brunonian and class orator. In the fall of 1880 he entered
the Newton Theological Seminary, and after one year of study
returned to Brown as instructor of mathematics. This position

lie held for one year, during the absence of the mathematical
professor in Europe. Returning to Newton, he finished his
course in 1884 and immediately settled as pastor of the State
Street Baptist Church, Springfield, Mass. , to which he had
been called eight months previous. In 1887 his church sent
him to travel in Great Britain and on the continent. In July,
1889, he received the call to the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church
and began the pastorate on the 15th of last October.

Brother Faunce is an interested member of the Fraternity.
This can be said to be inherited, for his father, the Rev. Daniel
W. Faunce, D. T)., Amherst, '50, is a Delta U., having been
one of the charter members of our Amherst chapter. Brother
Faunce was treasurer of the convention held with the
Middlebury chapter in 1878. He was a delegate from his
chapter to the convention of 188 1, is an officer of the Western
New England Club, and responded to a toast at the annual
banquet of the New York Alumni Association, held in the
Club House on February 21st.

Delta U, with our hearts' deep emotion,

Our pride and the theme of our song ;
The tributes we bring of devotion,

And gladly thy praises prolong ;
Thy name is a symbol of glory,

A bulwark of justice and right ;
Thy triumphs shall live long on story,

No shadow their lustre shall blight.

Delta U, may high Heaven defend thee

From all who would dare to assail ;
May its kind benediction attend thee,

And before thee thine enemies quail ;
May thy fame and thy glory; increasing,

Be sung by thy votaries true ;
Like the sun, in its course never ceasing,

Be the praise of our loved Delta U.

SOLICITOR-GENERAL CHAPMAN.
The Hon. Orlow W. Chapman, Union, '54, Solicitor -General
of the United States, died suddenly in Washington, January
19th, of a catarrhal affection of the kidneys, aggravated by an
attack of the grip. He had been dangerously ill only a little
more than a day, and death came before many of his friends
knew that he was seriously ill. His end was peaceful and
painless, and he passed away surrounded by his wife, Attorney -
General Miller, who was devotedly attached to him and who
had been with him almost constantly during his illness, Mrs.
Miller, the wife of the Attorney -General, and Dr. Johnson, the
attending physician. Mr. Chapman was first taken ill about
three weeks before with the grip. He recovered from this
attack and insisted upon immediately resuming his duties at
the office. His exposure brought a relapse, quickly ending in
death. The funeral services held in Washington were attended

86 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

by the President, the members of the Cabinet, the Justices of
the Supreme Court and personal friends.

The interment took place at Binghamton, New York, where,
on the day of the funeral, many places of business were closed
and public buildings draped with mourning emblems. Thou-
sands of people attended the final impressive service, that was
held in the First Presbyterian Church. The high estimation
in which Mr. Chapman was held by his fellow citizens is well
expressed in these resolutions adopted by the Broome County
Bar Association :

"Death has removed from the Broome County Bar its most distin-
guished member.

Orlow W. Chapman has for thirty-two years belonged to that Bar, and
for many of those years has been its acknowledged leader.

As District-Attorney, as Senator, and as Superintendent of the Insur-
ance Department, he served the people of his county, district and State
with rare fidelity, untiring zeal and consummate ability. L,ater on,
when his services were claimed in a wider field, and the people of the
whole country were his clientage, the same characteristics were displayed,
fully warranting the dictum of one in high place, that 'his death is a
public calamity. '

Mr. Chapman was a masterful man, influencing his fellows by his can-
dor, his genius, his logic and the inherent force of his strong personality.

As a counsellor he was conscientious, conservative and wise, never
acting on blind impulse, prejudice or passion, advising only after careful
reflection; but his opinions once formed, were adhered to with honest
tenacity, and being well grounded on the underlying principles of law,
were seldom erroneous.

As an advocate he was adroit, able, logical, convincing, and at times
eloquent. He had great weight with juries, and possessed a courtesy
which took the sting from the defeat of his most determined adversary.

As a citizen and man he was above reproach. He loved the city of
Binghamton and its people, and was loved and honored by them in re-
turn, and by each and every one of them is sincerely mourned to-day.

As a friend and associate he was genial t kind, considerate and com-"
panionable. Modest, quiet, unostentatious, domestic, and even retiring
in his habits, he was best loved where best known. His life in his home
was in character with his whole career, and in that circle his death causes
a grief too sacred for the public view.

In all the relations of life he has been a model. 'He hath borne his

SOLICITOR-GENERAL CHAPMAN. 87

faculties so meek, hath been so clear in his great offices, that his virtues
are known and acknowledged by all.

And who shall say that his taking off was not of the kindliest? He
died in the full strength of his manhood. 'His eye was not dimmed nor
his natural force abated. ' Disease had not weakened his intellect, nor
obscured his mental vision, and he met the last enemy as he had met the
duties and responsibilities of his honored life — calmly, bravely, hope-
fully."

Mr. Chapman was born in Ellington, Conn., January 7, 1832, and
graduated at Union in 1854. After leaving college he taught for some time
at Fergusonville Academy. In 1856 he began the study of law with
Robert Parker, and in 1858 entered practice at Binghamton, N. Y. In
September, 1862, he was appointed District-Attorney of Broome county.
In November he was elected to the office which he held until January,
1868. In 1867 he was elected to the State Senate from the XXIVth dis-
trict, as a Republican, and was re-elected in 1869. While in the Senate
he served as chairman of the committees on Literature and Erection of
Towns and Counties, and was a member of the committees on Claims,
Judiciary, Roads and Bridges and Erie Investigation. He was appointed
Superintendent of the Insurance Department of this State by Governor
Hoffman in December, 1872, and held the office until January, 1876, when
he resigned. His administration of the office was above criticism. After
his retirement he resumed his place as leader of the bar of Broome coun-
ty. He was appointed Solicitor-General May 29, 1889. He was held in
high esteem by the members of the Supreme Court and the bar. Attor-
ney-General Miller, who had not known him prior to his appointment,
became greatly attached to him and valued him highly. He was careful,
painstaking and conscientious in the discharge of his public duties, and
the Attorney-General had frequently been congratulated by the Justices
of the Court upon having secured a gentleman of so much intelligence,
industry and ability as his chief assistant. The Solicitor-General is the
legal adviser of the government, and his place is considered next to that
of a Cabinet officer.

Mr. Chapman was over six feet in height. He was of a sunny, genial
temperament, and his uniform kindliness and courtesy endeared him to
all who were acquainted with him, while his culture and travels made
him a delightful companion. His wife survives him. He had been
married a long while, and having no family he and his wife spent much
of their time travelling.

WILLIAM BROSS,

The Hon. William Bross, Williams, '38, Ex-L,ieutenant
Governor of Illinois and one of the founders of the Fraternity,
died of diabetic coma, at his home in Chicago, at 10:30 p. m.,
on January 27th, aged 76 years.

Mr. Bross had been a sufferer from kidney troubles for over
ten years, and a severe stroke of paralysis about two years
ago nearly incapacitated him for business. He was able to
move around and attend to a few things until about two weeks
before his death, then came the last attack of his old
trouble. He rallied sufficiently from this to be out and attend
a meeting on January 20th. Returning home, he was never
able to leave the house again. Sunday he was so ill that a
consultation of physicians was held, but they could do nothing
for him and the opinion was expressed that his marvelous
vitality and strength of will had alone kept him so long alive.
Sunday night deliriousness came on, followed by the comatose
state usually preceding cases of diabetic dissolution. The next
morning he regained consciousness, and was able to speak and
recognize faces until 6 o'clock, when he again fell into the
coma and peacefully passed away at 10:30 p. m.

Mr. Bross acquired his wonderful constitution from a boyhood spent
among the lumbermen of the Delaware. To a strong constitution and an
indomitable will was added a singular simplicity of character. His
nature was so open that he could not conceal his purposes. Dissimula-
tion was foreign to him, and men could read him like a book. He had
exceedingly popular and hearty manners and was always more than glad
to extend a helping hand to young men trying to make a start in life.
He was a devout Christian and an ardent Presbyterian member of the
Second Church. Yet his mind was so broad that he expoused the cause
of Prof. Swing against Prof. Patton in the trial of the former for heresy.
Exactness and punctuality in business were two of his most conspicuous
traits. He was a devoted advocate of the Hennepin Canal scheme. His
celebrated overland trip to California with Vice-President Colfax, Samuel
Bowles^and Editor Richardson of New York he often referred to with
great pride. He also recalled with satisfaction that as Illinois was the
first State to ratify the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution it fell
to his lot as Lieutenant-Governor of Illinois and ex-officio President of

90 DELTA UP8ILON QUARTEKLY.

the Senate to write his name first on the act of ratification. Mr. Bross
was a successful public speaker and took an active part in several politi-
cal campaigns. His sympathetic manner of meeting an audience ren-
dered him highly effective. Mr. Bross was deeply intested in the Uni-
versity of Lake Forest. Last year he endowed a professorship in that
institution and donated to the university a house for the residence of
the incumbent He also contributed large sums to the guarantee fund of
$ i, 000,000 which is being raised in behalf of the university.

He was a close friend of President Lincoln, and appeared with him on
the stump in his first Presidential campaign. He often visited him at the
White House. In 1867 Mr. Bross visited England and met Mr. Gladstone
at a dinner. Mr. Bross plainly told the Grand Old Man that America
would require a settlement of the Alabama claims or there would be war.
Mr. Gladstone was astonished, but when time proved Mr, Bross to be
right he recalled the interview with feelings of some elation. Some years
ago Mr. Bross presented a bell and a clock to the church in Milford, Pa. ,
which he joined as a boy.

Up to the formation of the Republican party Mr. Bross had been a
Democrat. As his breadth of mind enabled him to support Prof Swing,
though a strong Presbyterian, so it enabled him to accept the principles
of the Republican party, In the old Democratic Free Press Mr. Bross
introduced the feature of publishing a review of Chicago's business at
the beginning of each year. In this, every morning paper of the city has
followed in his foot-steps. Among his lifelong friends was the late Mark
Hopkins, President of Mr. Bross' alma mater, Williams College.

Mr. Bross was born near Port Jervis, N. J., November 4, 1813. While
yet a boy the family removed to Milford, Pa., where he entered the Mil-
ford Academy at the age of 16. Two years later he went to Williams
College and graduated with honors in 1838. In the following autumn he
became principal of Ridgebury Academy and taught there successfully
for five years, after which he removed to Chester and taught five years
more. He was an able instructor, a thorough classical scholar, and a
devoted student of natural history.

In October, 1846, Mr. Bross visited Chicago, St. Louis and other West-
ern cities, and became attracted to Chicago, removed there in May, 1848,
and became a partner in the firm of Griggs, Bross & Co., booksellers. At
the end of a year Mr. Bross withdrew from the firm and in connection
with the Rev. J. A. Wight began publishing the Prairie Herald, a reli-
gious newspaper, which was continued two years with moderate success.

In 1852, when Chicago had been connected with the East by the Michi-
gan Central and the Michigan Southern railroads, Mr. Bross, in connec-
tion with John L. Scripps, started the Democratic Press, a paper Demo-
cratic in politics and especially marked for its commercial and financial
ability. The formation of the Republican party in the autumn of 1854

WILLIAM BBOS8. 91

caused a change in the political course of the Press, its editor from that
time on being a firm Republican. It was not long until his strong ad-
vocacy of the doctrines of the new party, both as a writer and a speaker,
made him a prominent figure. He stumped the State during the Fremont
campaign, and in Cairo delivered the only speech made there in favor of
the new party and its ticket. In 1855 Mr. Bross was elected to the City
Council, serving one term.

During the war Mr. Bross was a heroic defender of the Republican
policy. He assisted in raising the Twenty-ninth Regiment of Colored
• Volunteers, which was commanded by his brother, Colonel John A. Bross,
who was killed at Petersburg, Va., July 30, 1864. He also aided in dis-
covering the Rebel conspiracy by which it was proposed, in November
of that year, to release the Confederate prisoners at Camp Douglas and
to burn the city.

His services to the party and the State were recognized in 1864, when
he was elected Lieutenant-Governor of Illinois. For many years after
Mr. Bross was active in every campaign.

After the Chicago fire he took an active part in bringing relief to the
city, despite the fact that his own home had been swept away in the gen-
eral ruin. He was the first citizen to present the needs of Chicago prop-
erly to the business men of the East. His graphic statement given to
the New York Tribune was the first considerable account of the fire pub-
lished in the press of that city. His address before the Relief Committee
of the New York Chamber of Commerce did much to inspire confidence
in the early restoration of Chicago.

While Mr. Bross was Lieutenant-Governor the infamous black laws of
the State were repealed. In 1868 Mr. Bross visited the Rocky Mountains
in company with Vice-President Colfax and during this trip a mountain
was named after him. Mount Lincoln and Mount Bross, of nearly an
equal height, stand side by side in the same range, separated only by a
deep gorge a mile or so across.

Throughout his long life Mr. Bross took an active interest in religious
matters. In 1868 he was President of the International Union of Illinois,
an association formed for the purpose of erecting an International church
in London, England, in which leading American ministers might preach
and thus promote a better understanding between the two leading Prot-
estant nations of the world. Mr. Bross was one of those who signed an
agreement in 1874 guaranteeing $ 15,000 salary and expenses for Professor
Swing, who had then organized the Central Church, each signer being lia-
ble severally to the extent of $1,000. He was one of the strongest sup-
porters of the Chicago Academy of Sciences and was its Vice-President
from 1876 to 1 881, and its President in 1882. He was also prominently
identified with the Mechanics' Institute. Among his business connec-
tions outside of his interest in the Tribune may be mentioned the old

92 DELTA UP8IL0N QUARTERLY.

Manufacturers* National Bank, which stood on the corner of Dearborn
and Washington streets, when it was burned in the big fire, and of which
he was a director from its organization in 1864. He was also one of the
first directors of the State Insurance company, incorporated in 1863.

Mr. Bross was married in 1839 to the only daughter of Dr. John T.
Jansen of Goshen, N. Y., and a sister of B. L. Jansen, formerly of Jansen,
McClurg & Co. Only one of their eight children now survives — Mrs.
Henry D. Lloyd. Four grandchildren were added to the household dur-
ing Mr. Bross's latter years. — Chicago Tribune.

The funeral was, as Mr. Bross had wished it should be —
simple. But the Second Presbyterian Church held more old
settlers, paying their last tribute to a departed comrade, than
it had ever before contained. The services were most im-
pressive. From Dr. Patterson's discourse we quote the fol-
lowing :

"The life and character of this man were in many respects remark-
able and extraordinary. He was industrious and singularly energetic in all
his undertakings. He studied to use every talent for the accomplish-
ment of his ends. He was ambitious in a good, laudable sense. He de-
sired and attained success in almost every endeavor. He took an active
part in nearly every promising enterprise within his reach, was com-
monly a leading part, and yet was not selfishly ambitious like some
who must lead or do nothing. He was cheerful in following, as well as
in pointing, the way. This was illustrated in his religious life, in which
he was an efficient helper when not in the advance guard. Mr. Bross
was distinguished by his public spirit and interest in every public enter-
prise, whether of city or church. He was a warm supporter of the re-
union of the Presbyterian Church. For Chicago's high destiny and
large promise he seemed to have an almost prophetic enthusiasm. He
was always firm in his moral convictions. At home Mr. Bross was all
that could be asked of a husband and father. He was characteristically
cheerful, fond of music, and a patron of art in its various departments.
He had a special fondness for children, and many recall with pleasure
the interest he manifested in their intellectual and religious culture. For
years he was a highly successful superintendent of the Sabbath school
connected with this church. From his early years he was a true, con-
sistent christian. He adhered to what is usually called the Evangelical
faith. He died as he had lived — firm in his belief in Him whom we
worship as our Savior."

A large number of prominent people were present, the Press Club was
represented by its president, Stanley Waterloo, Will H. Freeman, and
others. The Lake Forest University, by the entire faculty. The Tribune

office by nearly all its local and editorial staff, a delegation from The
Tribune Chapel, representatives from the counting room, press and stereo-
typing rooms, and the Northwestern Chapter of the Delta Upsilon Fra-
ternity — Mr. Bross having been a member of the Fraternity — by C. M.
Denny, R. W. Holden, W. R. Parks, and W. A. Burch.

The latter brought with them the following resolutions adopted by the
chapter :

Whereas, In the death of the Hon. William Bross we have lost a valu-
able friend and brother and an enthusiastic supporter of the Delta Upsilon
Fraternity of which he was a charter member.

Whereas. He has sustained to the Northwestern Chapter relations
of intimacy, and has extended to said Chapter many kindnesses, there-
fore, be it,

Resolved, That we the Northwestern Chapter of Delta Upsilon, hereby
express our deepest respect to his memory and our appreciation of his
many private and public virtues, and

Resolved, That these resolutions be spread on the records of the Chap-
ter and published in the Delta Upsilon Quarterly and The Chicago
Tribune.

The following was adopted by the Lake Forest University:

Whereas, The members of the faculty of the Lake Forest University
have learned with the deepest sorrow of the death of the President of the
Board of Trustees, the Hon. William Bross, one of the founders of the
university and one of its firmest friends; and,

Whereas. They recognize the great loss the university has suffered
in the death of one who has done so much to promote its prosperity, aid-
ing not only by munificent contributions of money to meet pressing neces-
sities and to increase permanent endowments, but even more by his
thorough comprehension of the needs of the institution and by his per-
sonal care for all its interests through the Board of Trustees, frequent
visits to the university, and constant and earnest expressions of sympathy
and appreciation to the professors and instructors.

Resolved, That while we mourn the loss of a personal friend, of a gen-
erous benefactor, and of a zealous and faithful trustee and officer, we re-
joice that our loss is his exceeding great gain, since we rest in full assur-
ance that he is now with his Savior in whose service he has constantly
labored during a long lifetime.

Resolved, That we extend our sympathy to the afflicted wife and
daughter of the late President of the board, in the loss of one so worthy
of respect and* confidence, and so manifestly superior both in private
character and in public service.

Resolved, That we manifest our sympathy for the bereaved family by
attending the funeral service in a body, thus showing our appreciation of
the character and worth of our departed friend.

OLD WORDS TO YOUNG WRITERS,

When the editor of the Quarterly asked me to counsel his
undergraduate readers on the subject of literary composition, I
trust he did not expect any revelation of novel facts or prin-
ciples, but only had in mind the advantage that sometimes
arises from saying an old thing in a new way.

It is desirable that the young, and especially the ambitious
writer, should understand clearly what is possible to him in his
youth, and what is probably impossible. A cultivated and
graceful style may be attained by a young man or woman who
comprehends to some extent the genius of our language, will
study the best models, and knows how to practice self-criti-
cism ; but good creative work, except in the lighter kinds of
poetry, has seldom or never been accomplished by a very young
person. I know of no novel that has permanent value being
written by an author under thirty years of age. When a young
writer is discouraged by editorial refusals of his manuscript,
he should understand that it may not be because he does not
write well, but because he has substantially nothing to say.
The great facts of human experience cannot be evolved from
one's inner consciousness ; you must live them before you can
know them. As a court of justice will not permit a witness to
tell what he has heard, so the public that, reads to be enter-
tained and instructed cares little for any facts, feelings, or
observations that you may offer it at second hand, no matter
how skillful your phraseology. But one may learn to till the
ground before he has a farm of his own to cultivate.

A good style depends, first of all, upon a good choice of
words. Is it not as necessary to possess a large vocabulary as
it is to make sure that such vocabulary as you may have is
altogether legitimate. There is much good writing in the
daily newspapers, abounding in wit and well turned sentences;
but their verbal offences are so numerous, so gross, and so per-
sistent that they are in danger of permanently corrupting our
common speech. If I call attention to a few of these, the
reader will doubtless be able to discover many more.

OLD WORDS TO YOUNG WRITERS. 95

It is first an affectation, and then a vulgarism to transfer tech-
nical terms unnecessarily and topically to common speech.

The most widely distributed instance of this is the word " en-

•

dorse.' ' Undeterred by the disastrous results of careless
endorsement, our people are now endorsing everything — sen-
timents, platforms, business and legislative action, the charac-
ters of men, ' their motives, their assertions, and the men
themselves. The only proper way to endorse a man is to turn
him around and with a piece of chalk write your name across
his back, between the shoulders. You need not read far in
the dictionary to find the word " approve.' ' A book-keeper
talks about the * ' balance' ' of an account ; and people who are
not book-keepers are forever using that word as if they thought
it meant " remainder," which it does not. Do not write ' ^ar-
ty" when you mean "person," and do not say that either the
party or the person was " posted," when 3 r ou mean "in-
formed." You may be under the impression that two always
make a couple ; at least the newspapers would justify you
in that belief. But two do not make a couple unless they
belong together as a pair. There is no such thing as a
couple of weeks, or a couple of dollars, or couple of
comets. Look into your English grammar and see what it
says about reflexive pronouns, and after that never write
"John and myself went a fishing, w or " myself and Mrs. Smith
took tea with our friends." Do not be afraid to use the pro-
noun I where it properly belongs. Do not use the word
"commence" unless you can tell what right it has to be in
our language at all, or what need we have of it. When mis-
fortunes come thick upon you and you seem to be a victim of
conspiring circumstances, do not, even in your moments of
deepest dejection, permit yourself to complain of " hard lines,"
or even to look for better times "later on." When you
look at one of the many monuments that commemorate our
fellow citizens who fell in the civil war, you may ask what is
the position of the bronze soldier that surmounts it, and you
will be told that his position is known as parade rest. But
you should not talk about the " position" of president of Yale

96

DELTA UPSELON QUARTERLY.

college, or the " position" of attorney-general, or the " posi-
tion* ' of elevator boy in a hotel. And c Situation* ' is no better,
though you find column after column of advertisements for
"situations" in the metropolitan papers. Instead of either of
these words, the correct term is " place," "office," or " em-
ployment. ' ' Beware of unnecessary words. Do not write * ' the
house is situated by the river," and "the school is located on
a hill." Write "the house is by the river," and " the school
is on a hill." A little thought will show you the distinction
between the needful and the needless use of these two words.
Do not say " the rope was a long one," and " the argument
was a strong one." Say " the rope was long," and " the ar-
gument was strong." Do not say " the lumber was for build-
ing purposes," and the " fuel was for cooking purposes." One
may, perhaps build his purposes, but it is unfortunate to have
them cooked. Some expressions that are allowable, and even
admirable, when used originally become vapid, if not vulgar,
when repeated for the thousandth time. A good instance of
this may be seen in the expression "craning the neck."

When a writer has learned to choose his words as carefully
as he should choose his friends, his next task is to discover the
method of putting them in proper order. But this subject we
must reserve for a future chapter.

Rossitkr Johnson, Rochester '63.

RENO WN.

Idle were the poet's fancies,
Idler still the numbers came,

Laughed the muses at his folly,
Jested at his verses tame.

Then thought he of his Honora,
Sleeping 'neath the willow rare,

Where in love they laid his treasure,
Beauteous, divinely fair.

He thought of the roses twining
O'er her lonely place of rest,

Of her waxen fingers folded
Peacefully on her breast.

Then into the sad, sweet numbers
The heart of the poet poured

Its burden of nameless sorrow,
Of anguish and grief instored.

Eagerly read was the poem,
Wide praised the poet, and long,

For out of his deepest sorrow
Was fashioned his sweetest song.

Fred S. Retan, Madison, '89.

AMONG THE EXCHANGES.

Three numbers of the Phi Kappa Psi Shield lie before the
reviewer and are of even quality. The " Old Boy's" recollec-
tions of his fraternity life in the '50's ought to interest the
* 'young boys' ' of the fraternity, even though it is reprinted from
a former volume. The genuine boom in organizing alumni
associations is met with the natural rejoicings. We are free
to say that if some of the straggling western fraternities would
give more attention to extension of this sort, they would take
a better position in the Greek letter world. The January
number contains a good article on " How to make the annual
circular letter interesting to the alumni,' ' and we quote some
of the practical suggestions :

" My first point, then, is, crowd the letter with information. Let it be
a resume of the chapter's work for the year. Do not fill it full of brag-
gadocio. Above all, do not ' pufP your chapter up to the skies. State
facts — plain, cold, and telling facts. These are what the every-day bus-
iness man delights to read. What can delight an alumnus of a college
fraternity more than to know that his chapter is strong in the manliness
of men — both as scholars, athletes, and members of society ? Let there,
too, be news of every action in the chapter and its members, in which
the alumnus would desire to participate and enjoy, were he still with
Phi Kappa Psi in active relation. The alumnus should be made to feel
that he knows the 'boys,' and that he can be proud of them from
knowledge of their relations in college. * * * * In addition to the
circular letter I am of the opinion that it would pay every chapter of
Phi Kappa Psi to issue annually a small catalogue, containing the names,
business, address, deaths, marriages, etc., of alumni of the chapter issuing
the catalogue. Pennsylvania Gamma has a committee at work on such a
catalogue, which will be sent out with her third annual circular letter
next fall.' '

The conservatism voiced in "Our Method of Granting
Charters' ' is wise and to the point. The writer after consider-
ing the possible methods of extension, even while indorsing
the present system, reaches this broad statement :

"Many of us, if asked the bold, broad question, 'Are you in favor of
fraternity extension?' reply, 'On general principles, no.' Why? Be-
cause, we believe a small fraternity is more easily managed, and is more

unified.' The leading fraternities in the country are small. Three out
of four of the large fraternities are poor. As soon as a fraternity begins
to grant a number of new charters, it is spoken of as deteriorating. It is
absolutely essential that a fraternity be conservative. Our ideal frater-
nity is one with chapters at only the leading colleges of the country. To
wear the badge of such a fraternity would be a mark of distinguished
honor. We believe that brotherly love and devotion to the order would
here reach the very highest point"

In order to remedy the recognized evil of voting to grant

charters when little is known this is suggested :

"L,et there be published, then, say once in every two months, by the
executive council or the editor of Shield, a strictly private pamphlet of
four pages, for the use of the officers and the chapters — one copy for each
chapter will be enough ; probably fifty copies in all would suffice. The
expense of printing, sending, etc., would be covered, we think, by a tax
of from five to seven dollars a year per chapter. Let this pamphlet con-
tain letters from the brothers in regard to the different colleges in the
country, and the openings for new chapters ; extracts from letters of
petitioners, views of officers, etc., — in short, every bit of information
that will enable the chapters to vote intelligently on petitions. If this
plan is followed, a petition can never again be a surprise to a chapter, as
it now is."

Delta Upsilon's Executive Council might well take a hint
from this. ***

Kappa Alpha Theta has caught the craze for a new dress
(very naturally, as it is the organ of a sorority) and blossoms
forth with a new cover. It is a literal blossoming, too, for a
prominent feature of the design is a cluster of the fraternity
flower, black and gold pansies. This is the first issue of the
new editorial board and comment may well be reserved for the
present.

***

Originality is not a besetting sin with the Record of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon. Apparently the only things written especially
for number four of the present volume are a banquet song, the
editorials, and the chapter letters, not counting a running
comment on the convention doings. A staff of eight editors
should do better work than that, unless all are figure heads.
Here's a how-dye-do at Vanderbilt University :

" Probably no other chapter in the fraternity presents more diverse

characteristics — a more composite life. We have the largest man in
school and also the smallest We have men that are total abstainers
from principle, and men that like a social glass. We have men as de-
vout as saints, and those that never pray. We have men that smoke a
mild cigar and men that eschew the filthy weed. We have men with
mustaches and men with side-whiskers. Men that are afraid of any-
thing in female guise, and men that adore their sweethearts. We have
acted upon the belief that the domination of any one idea in any or-
ganization will cripple its usefulness and eventually destroy its life. The
heterogeneous elements that I have briefly enumerated above, in the
mysterious workshop of Phi Alpha, have been welded into an indis-
soluble brotherhood.* '

We certainly trust for the sake of Sigma Alpha Epsilon's
future that " no other chapter in the fraternity presents more
diverse characteristics. ' '

The first article in the October Beta Theta Pi on " Frater-
nity Journalism,^ ' is of general interest, and from it we quote
these remarks :

" The convention of Delta Upsilon, held in 1867, authorized the publi-
cation of a semi-annual, to be called Our Record. The two numbers
were issued under one cover in the spring of 1868, and were dated Octo-
ber and April, i867-'68. It was a pamphlet of thirty six pages, with a
cover in the fraternity colors. It was not a success and did not become
popular in the fraternity ; the editors footed the bills and attended the
funeral. The convention of 1870 again authorized the publication of a
periodical, and the project was tried again under the name of the
University Review. Two numbers were issued in January and May,
1870, and then it, too, ceased to exist. * * * Delta Upsilon, whose
Record and Review we have already mentioned, again made an appear-
ance in December, 1882, with a Quarterly. It began as a small quarto
of sixteen pages. In 1884, with the second volume, the Quarterly was
changed to the usual magazine form, which has since been retained. It
has also practically remained under the control of one man, Frederick
M. Crossett, of the New York chapter. It has maintained an even tone
of general excellence, and its news and opinions have been unusually
accurate. It is handsomely supported.'*

The other fraternity organs are also given appreciative notice.
This conclusion touches on one or two timely matters :

"Twice during the lifetime of the fraternity press have efforts been made
to form a press association, and it has often been suggested that one
journal devoted to the interests of the general fraternity world might
fittingly take the place of the numerous ones now existing ; but we do
not think so. Each fraternity has a pride in its own journal which

744512A

elicits a support which a general magazine, however excellent, would
not, in our judgment, obtain. A union of the business interests of the
different journals would be desirable, as they do not separately command
the advertising patronage which their combined circulation of nearly
forty thousand would obtain. A central bureau might easily obtain and
print advertisements and distribute them among these periodicals, and it
might also similarly obtain and distribute plate matter upon topics of
common interest. The Beta Theta Pi would be glad to be the medium
for the interchange of ideas upon this subject The fraternity press,
occupying as it does a field so particularly its own, has its own peculiar
requirements, and these it seems to meet very fully and adequately. "

Under miscellany is quoted a letter that came from the
"cloister" of a rival and is supposed to be a communication
from a chapter's officers to the parents of a prospective initiate.
We copy it as a suggestion to all Delta U. men :

"Your son, though a comparative stranger to us, has been strongly
recommended by certain alumni and has made a good impression upon

the active members of who have had an opportunity to form his

acquaintance. He has been invited to join the chapter of and

has accepted our invitation. The initiation will take place on — inst.
We hope that you will freely tell us in confidence anything you would
like for us to know about your son that may enable us to look after him
in a brotherly way. Anything you may write in confidence will be
communicated only to a small committee having the welfare of your son
and our chapter at heart," etc.

The rest of the issue is made up of the usual matter, not
omitting a pitiful appeal from the catalogue editor that ought
to bring all delinquent Betas to their senses.

***
The Rainbow for October is the first issue of a new editorial
board, and we hope the next number will see the space better
occupied than in the present instance. Possibly every Delta
Tau Delta will have a burning interest in the "sample of
fraternity enthusiasm' ' published, but to the average person
it reads like what newspaper men call " pure rot." The or-
ganization of four new chapters gets a good deal of space —
more than it apparently deserves, considering the frequency of
additions to the chapter rolls. The chapter letters are well
written in general, and while often mentioning rival fraterni-
ties, rarely gossip to an evil extent. The fraternity statistical
table at the end of this issue shows a total of 447 members in

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. 101

38 chapters, an average of less than twelve men to a chapter.
Is it possible that Delta Tau Delta, when it has got its growth,
will be very tall, and thin all the way up ?

***
It is the fortune of the November issue of the Phi Gamma
Delta Quarterly to be a convention number, and hence to con-
tain (unfortunately for exchange editors) less matter of gen-
eral interest than usual. It is sometimes a question with us
whether fraternity journals do not give up too much space to
convention reports. Interesting they doubtless are, but as far
as reproducing the real life of the inner spirit of the gathering,
forty pages will effect little more than four. The policy of
trying to report in full the social features of the occasion seems
to us a mistake. Following the " Convention Potpourri" in
this number is a bright little sketch of the home of the New
York graduate club and its inmates. We regret to learn
through an editorial that Phi Gamma Deltas are not properly
supporting their excellent magazine. Did they know the
comparative thanklessness and often worse of a fraternity edi-
tor' s task we fancy they would subscribe in hundreds out of
sheer pity. Our brother editors have our best wishes for a
constantly increasing mailing list. As we turn the last page
we note that this volume contains 386 pages. This is truly a
goodly number, and the quality moreover has not been over-
balanced by the quantity.

***

The chief feature of the October number of the Delta Kappa
Epsilon Quarterly is what may be called a symposium on the
question of alumni representation in the annual conventions.
The Quarterly is soon to publish an article on this pat sub-
ject, and so we will be content with quoting without comment
from the three letters published. Two of the writers favor
alumni representation and the third does not. The latter, to
our thinking, makes out the strongest case. Here is the nut

of his argument :

" The advice, the assistance, the co-operation of alumni members of
the fraternity, their unrecognized but no less potent restraining and cor-
recting influence, are invaluable, but to admit them on an equality with

102 DELTA UPSILON QUAHTERLY.

under-graduates to discussion and vote on the floor of conventions, that
is another matter. Of course it is assumed that if admitted to repre-
sentation they will be subject to the same burdens of taxation and con-
tribution as the under-graduate chapters. If so, they would necessarily
be chartered and organized in the same way. This done, and the fra-
ternity would be robbed of half its distinctive features as a collegiate
Greek-letter society. It was never intended that college fraternities
should come into competition with Freemasonry, Odd Fellowship and
the like. They fill a different sphere. And it is believed that the ex-
tension of chapter organization and privileges to the alumni would result
only in an imperfect copy of these wide-spread societies.

If, on the other hand, any self-constituted and unchartered body of
alumni members may endow themselves with all the privileges of active
members the result is evident and absurd. It would be almost impossible
to place a constitutional and logical limit to the number which might be
formed, and it would soon happen that under-graduate delegates would
be crowded out or relegated to the role of silent spectators by their more
mature and experienced seniors. Such a result, even if it eventuated in
more perfect organization, and more infallible legislation, could not be
too much deplored. The backbone of the fraternity is in its under-grad-
uates. It exists for them. Half the value of its tutelage is lost if they
are to have alumni to depend on at every turn. Alumni members
should be a staff, not a crutch. They should help, not carry. It was
with this idea that the Council was formed seven years ago. Our alumni
organizations, as they at present exist, have a perfect means of contact
with the chapters in an advisory capacity through the council, which is
supposed to keep in touch with both chapters and alumni. More the
alumni ought not to ask. For after all their interest is less vital, less present,
than that of their juniors. They live in retrospect. They have passed
off the stage, not of usefulness, not of activity — Heaven forbid ! — but of
legislation. No, brother alumni, let us help the boys, let us encourage,
let us advise, let us restrain them, but let us not try to put them under
the yoke of a patria potestas."

Here are the best words of one who thinks differently:

"Of course, if the fraternity is little more than a device for amusing
college students, with the by-play of initiations, the member may well
leave it when he takes his diploma, and to the alumnus it must be merely
an object of amused recollection. But among the college students them-
selves the fraternities are taking a much higher place than this, and the
question is whether we are not now close to the opportune moment for
making the fraternity a national association of college men, a fraternity
whose under-graduate members are simply in training, and the great
majority of whose active members are earning honors for their society as
well as for themselves in Congress, at the bar, in the centers of trade, and

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. 103

in all other fields of activity. I believe the influence upon the under-
graduate of membership in a society of college men, rather than of college
boys, would be excellent, while the tendency of graduates to get together
into alumni associations or university clubs gives evidence of the social
and intellectual pleasure they derive from this companionship, and the
fact of present active membership in such a fraternity as ours would
strongly reinforce the merely reminiscent pleasure which brings the
alumni together.' '

The third alumnus energetically favors representation and
tells his reasons up to sixthly. These are stated in order :
First, because the alumni interest in the fraternity will be kept
stronger; second, because it will stimulate the formation of
new associations and make the name of D. K. E. to grow in
the land ; third, because the chapter will get direct benefit
from any awakening of alumni ; fourth, because alumni organ -
ization has already done much for the fraternity and alumni
representation might do more ; fifth, because the conventions
need just the business-like spirit that older men could give ;
sixth, because the larger representation at conventions the
larger the attendance and the greater the success.

Fair promises are made editorially of more regular publica-
tion, and we hope the editor will get the needed support.
There are four well-written pages about exchanges, and one
could wish the Theta Delta Chi Shield's cover had not been so
ugly as to discourage the writer from saying more.

The January number contains little of special interest to out-
siders, over a third of the issue being given to the addresses
and poem at the recent convention. The story of the birth
and growth of the Gamma Phi (Wesleyan) chapter is told in
three articles and illustrated by a view of the present chapter
house. An editorial on ' 'Extension by Subsidy' ' deals some
sharp hits at the alleged conduct of a nameless fraternity,
whose representatives offered non-society men money to organ-
ize a chapter in their college. This is not too strongly said :
" Surely, no self-respecting fraternity will stoop to this subsidizing
method. The true fraternity maintains so high a standard of excellence,
occupies so unique a niche in collegiate thought, offers such priceless
privileges, that young men of the right stamp — with firm fibre and true
metal — will sacrifice time, energy, money, everything save character, if
only they may be permitted to enter her portals."

104 DELTA UP8ILON QUARTERLY.

In the case of the expelled chapter of Phi Delta Theta at the
University of Minnesota, which Delta Kappa Epsilon has lately-
absorbed, it looks very much as if these men had chiefly sacri-
ficed their character in joining D. K. E.

***
The seventh volume of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Key starts
off with a notably strong December number. An article on
"The Possibilities of Fraternity Journalism" hits forcibly some
of the shortcomings of the fraternity press. A trio of faults
are pointed out — lack of unity, novelty £nd originality — and

this is the writer's remedy:

"In the case of the first two, however, reform clearly lies within the
power of the editor-in-chief. Care, forethought and exhaustive study of
proper models will work wonders. Let the ambitious fraternity editor
examine the successful periodicals with an idea of determining the con-
ditions of their success. The system of solicited contributions, of special
papers, above all the mapping out at the beginning of a general outline
for the year's numbers — all these can be transferred, with some modifi-
cations, to amateur journalism. Find out at the start those of your
chapter, and personal friends in other chapters, upon whom you can rely
for articles. Search the files of your magazine for the names of those
who have done good work in the past. Write to chapter correspondents
for further information. Assign special subjects to those interested in
special lines of thought. A little preliminary work of this sort, and you
can be sure of some satisfactory matter for every number; and need not
make up the magazine at the last minute from a lot of miscellaneous arti-
cles, whose only connection is that of occupying space in the same
journal. Then the battle is half won. Unfortunately we must say only half
won. Even when the leading articles are assured, space still remains
which must be filled from the great mass of floating contributions. It is
in treating of these that we reach the third essential and the most elusive
one — that of originality; and here, at least, the direct influence and re-
sponsibility of the editor cease. Further suggestions must be addressed
to the contributors. ' '

As if to illustrate this article the Key offers two new and

interesting departments, ' 'After Commencement Papers/ ' in

which graduates will tell about their chosen professions, and

the ' ' Parthenon,' ' which is really nothing more than an open

letter department, but a good one at that. The establishment

of chapters at Smith, Vassar and Wellesley is advocated, and

the fact comes out clearly that sororities have confined their

work hitherto almost entirely to co-educational institutions.

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. 105

The chapter letters bubble over with fraternity love and enthu-
siasm, while the exchange column is given so little space that

its life is fairly squeezed out. This editorial speaks to all:

"Formality is one of the worst foes of the successful chapter meeting.
Nine-tenths of the ills attributed to "dull subject" or "lack of interest* '
could be remedied by a different arrangement of the chairs or the dis-
carding of set "papers.' ' Indeed, it may be stated almost as an axiom
that for a chapter meeting speeches are always better than essays and
discussion is better than either."

*#*
The Alpha Tau Omega Palm is nothing if not Pan-Hellenic.

Here is one of the editor's New Year's greetings to the chapters :
Endeavor by the organization of Pan-Hellenic associations at your
college to make Palm the journal of Pan-Hellenism. Secure cash sub-
scriptions to it from the members of such associations at half rates) elect
correspondents, ascertain by discussion with friendly members of the
chapters of other fraternities the general sentiment and desire for found-
ing or supporting a representative Fraternity magazine, to which all may
contribute and subscribe. Canvass the matter, get up a caucus of fraters,
adopt ways and means and make suggestions through Palm. A Pan-
Hellenic League should connect the 38 colleges in which Alpha Tau
Omega has chapters. Let the good work be instituted by the active
Fraternity men y who are generous and liberal and whose banner is
Fraternity and Progress.

In the same .line are the published answers from chapters to

questions regarding the consolidation of Alpha Tau Omega

with any other fraternity and Pan-Hellenic consolidation. As

might be expected, under-graduate sentiment is very strong

against any union with another fraternity, while opinions are

very diverse as to the merits of the other questions. This is

not to be wondered at, since Pan-Hellenism may easily be a

blessing in one college and the opposite in another.

Clay W. Holmes begins hjs five years' term as editor of the
Shield of Theta Delta Chi with a highly creditable December
number. This is the Convention number, but the detailed
doings of the gathering are not given to the public. The de-
partment of "Our Graduates" is growing in interest, many of
the items and biographies being written in a chatty style that
is eminently attractive. Under the head of editorial the new
editor thus outlines his policy :

106 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

"The Shield will not be a literary magazine. Students in college get
enough of literature, and graduates have the whole list of such magazines
to select from. What all want is Fraternity news, personal items — and
such they shall have. We therefore give notice that no criticism con-
cerning the literary standard of the Shield will be received kindly, as it
has none and wishes to keep as far from such an appearance as possible.
* * * * The Shield will be a Fraternity periodical, pure and simple,
with no pretensions beyond. The editor is a business man, full of work,
and with more of it on hand than two men ought to attempt, working
every day at least sixteen hours, yet willing to give midnight oil to the
task of sorting up matter and writing for a periodical which is for the
benefit of a band of brothers whose aims are one. The editorials will be
plain, blunt statements of honest fact and feeling, based upon life as we
see it and have felt it for twenty years of struggling effort * * * *
The Shield will treat all questions of a business nature from a business
standpoint, all Fraternity matters upon the standard thatTheta Delta Chi
is not, perhaps, any better than other fraternities, but that our Fraternity
is to us the only Fraternity. It is our world, and when we speak of it as
"the best" or "the only," we do not do any discredit or injustice to any
other Fraternity. ' '

These are sensible words, and all contemporaries will wish
for him that he may not lose $300 a year for the next five

years.

Two numbers of the Kappa Alpha Journal 'bring a miscella-
neous freight to our door. A letter from the K. C. in the No-
vember number bears to the members of this peculiarly Southern
fraternity a high-toned and inspiring message. As we run
through the chapter letters we are struck by the frequency
with which ' 'fair maidens' ' are mentioned, Kappa Alpha seem-
ing to monopolize the favors of the other sex. The chapter
letter editor speaks well when he says of the letters : ' ' There
are a few which are very bad indeed.' ' Why, then, O editor,
afflict the suffering public with them at all ?

The January number properly jubilates over the establishing
of a chapter in William and Mary and the reviving of Tau
chapter, which was suppressed by the faculty six years ago.
A page and a half is wasted in sharp remarks apropos of a
recent criticism in the Quarterly. The editorial column
furnishes a sufficient commentary to this in these words:
1 'There is nothing that so belittles a man as always to take
offense and retort at every attack. ' '

The rivalry among the various fraternities at Johns Hop-

them, but the idea did not seem to catch, as the feeling of
rivalry daily increases, and nearly all of the chapters have ob-
tained regular quarters for their assemblies. — Phi Kappa Psi

At the convention of D. K. E. at Boston, in October, two
graduates of the old Miami chapter were present and secured
the successful issue of a petition from seven students to revive
the chapter. The chapter was installed the Thursday before
Christmas by the aid of six or seven visiting members. All
save one of the initiates are old students in the university.

existence when the college closed in 1873. Alpha Delta Phi

vived. — Phi Delta Theta Scroll.

The other fraternities have shown a marked decrease in

power. The D. K. E.s have dwindled down to four. They

ill for the fraternity if they call their Kenyon chapter their
best. Alpha Delta Phi suffered a loss of one by graduation,
and four by withdrawal from college. This leaves them only
six. The charge of Psi Upsilon is also very much reduced.
It lost three by graduation and two have not returned. Their
muster is six, which is very small for Psi Upsilon. — Kenyon

Square theater on Thursday evening, followed by a slight mis-
understanding with the Broadway police, had sufficiently re-
covered last evening to enjoy the banquet at Delmonico's. At
the club house, 8 West Twenty-ninth street, yesterday, the
jamboree of the evening before was the favorite topic of con-
versation. Among the speakers at last night's banquet were
Dr. William Pepper, provost of the University of Pennsylva-
nia ; President Webster of Union college, General Livingston
Satterlee and Rev. C. DeWitt Bridgenan. — New York Press,

The feeling among the different fraternities here at Lehigh
reaches its highest point when the election of Epitome editors
takes place. The class is then divided into two combinations.
As we were with the winning side Brother Morris represents
his fraternity on '91 board of editors. By the board he was
elected editor-in-chief. * * * The Psi U's, our greatest
rivals in this and all elections, will not be represented this
year either by Epitome editors or class officers. * * * The
number of fraternities having chapter houses at Lehigh has
been increased by one, the Phi Gamma Deltas having lately
gone into a house. — Theta Delta Chi Shield.

There seems to be a sudden desire on the part of the * * fav-

Delta Upsilon will soon be established. ' * The more the

The first annual banquet and reception of the Cincinnati Phi«
Kappa Psi Alumni association was held December 30, 1889.
An informal reception to the fraternity officers, executive coun-
cil and members was given on Saturday, December 28, at the
residence of the president on Hewitt avenue, East Walnut
Hills. Sunday evening a Greek Fraternity and Alumni asso-
ciation reunion service by the Phi Psi pastors of Cincinnati
was held in the Walnut Hills Congregational church. Mon-
day noon a reception was given to the members of the Song
Book committee, and in the evening the banquet was held at
the Hotel Emory. The speakers on the list were J. M. De-
Camp, Governor J. B. Foraker, the Rev. J. W. Simpson, D.
D., Judge M. L. Buckwalter, Albert Bettinger and the Rev.
Robert Lowry, D. D. Ladies were invited to all the services.

A few brief facts will show our status at Middlebury. So-
cially Delta Kappa Epsilon is far ahead of any fraternity.
Brother Lavery, '90, was editor-in-chief of our annual. * *
On our college paper, the * ' Undergraduate, ' ' for which the
editors are elected by literary competition, we have three of
the seven editors. In athletics we had the captain and two
others of the ball nine. * * * * In the prize speaking
contest we had our usual success, three of our men capturing
the three best prizes, viz.: first and second Merrill, and first
Parkerian. The latter was especially agreeable because of the
persistent but unsuccessful attempts of a certain society to
prevent us having an equal and just represensation. — D. K.

Rumors have been afloat of late like the following : ' ' Psi
Upsilon has abandoned her old-time conservatism and is
attempting to establish chapters at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, Minnesota and California. ' ' This report, however, is
not well authenticated. — University News. Despite this Psi
* Upsilon organ from Syracuse University, Dame Rumor is cor-
rect. The chapter at the University of Pennsylvania has already
been established. Particulars of the granting of the other two
chapters are given elsewhere in this issue.

Bishop Potter will deliver the oration and Mr. Richard W.
Gilder the poem at the fifty -eighth annual reunion of the Phi
Beta Kappa, at Harvard College, on June 26 — the day after
Commencement. The Phi Beta Kappa is the only Inter-colle-
giate society based on scholarship, and dates back (at Harvard)
to 1772. — Critic of Jan. nth. The Critic is in error. Phi Beta
Kappa was founded at William and Mary College, December
3d, 1776. The Harvard and Yale chapters were established
late in the fall of 1779.

The last annual convention of Psi Upsilon was held with the
Rochester chapter, on May 16 and 17, 1889. Seventeen chap-
ters and four alumni associations were represented by delegates.
The most important business was the granting of petitions for
chapters in the universities of California and Minnesota. Much
discussion arose over this move, but the petitions were granted.
The vote in each was as follows : University of California, aye
— Union, New York, Yale, Dartmouth. Columbia, Bowdoin,
Hamilton, Wesley an, Michigan, Syracuse, Cornell, Lehigh third
alumni, total 13. No — Brow?i, Amherst, Rochester, Kenyon,
Trinity, total 5. University of Minnesota, aye — Union, New
York, Yale, Brown, Amherst, Dartmouth, Wesley an, Rochester,
Kenyon, Michigan, Syracuse, Cornell, Lehigh, second, third and
fourth alumni, total 16. No — Columbia, Hamilton, Trinity,
total 3. Minnesota was first rejected and then accepted.

GREEK LETTER GOSSIP. 115

For the past year or so the Syracuse chapters Psi Upsilon
and Phi Kappa Psi have been publishing a college paper called
the University News. There has been a falling out between
them. At least the Phi Kappa Psis fell out, for they woke up
one morning recently and found that during the night the Psi
ITs had quietly dropped them from the management of the
paper. The Psi LPs claim that the Phi Kappa Psis have failed
to fulfill their part of the agreement. The latter deny this and
say that while there have been some delinquencies on both
sides, * * the larger, more important and harder to bear have
been on the part of the Psi Upsilons, ' ' that * * the exact facts of
the last two years bear out this statement,' ' and that the whole
action of the Psi LPs in this matter is "sly, underhand, not
hasty; but far reaching, over reaching, dishonorable and dis-
honest.' ' Another surprise is promised, this time by them, and
it is supposed a new paper will be the outcome.

Another affair has occurred which, from all appearances,
bears the ear-marks of a clear case of theft. Delta Kappa Epsi-
lon is accused of having purloined a whole chapter from Phi
Delta Theta. It is said that this was brought about mainly by
the efforts of two prominent professors and the President of the
University, who are " Dekes." To the noses of the larger por-
tion of the other fraternities here represented, the whole affair
bears an utf savory smell. The alumni members of Phi Delta
Theta resident in and about the city, to whose aid the chapter
here owed in great part its existence and growth, are much
exercised over the matter. It has been the custom among the
Greeks here, whenever a new fraternity has made its appear-
ance, to "bounce" each member; but the distaste for * c li fl-
ing* ' in general and the cloudiness of their right to be considered
as legitimate born Greeks, insured for the new chapter of D.
K. E. a cold reception on the morning of their debut. The
bouncing they expected never came. — University of Min-
nesota letter *, Delta Tau Delta Rainbow. The l 'bouncing 1 ' was
done when Phi Delta Theta expelled the chapter at their last
convention.

to the fullest extent the principles and teachings of the Delta Upsilon

A district convention is what is needed to supply the want expressed by
our Harvard correspondent. Such a convention affords an excellent
opportunity for members of chapters situated near each other to become
acquainted. They can be held often and without much expense.

Our alumni associations ought to wake up and show. more life; they are
not as active as they should be, neither have we enough of them. The
alumni in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Washington, Buffalo, San Francisco,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit, Pittsburg, Utica and New Brunswick
should organize, and state associations should be formed in Maine, Ver-
mont and Wisconsin.

The suggestion by our Madison correspondent that we establish in the
Quarterly a Teachers' Directory, where members of Delta Upsilon de-
siring positions to teach, can register, is one that we have had in mind
for a long time. The appearance in our last issue of the "Educational"
advertisements was the first step in this direction. Success having at-
tended this move and the number of advertisements been doubled, we
are now ready to open a Teachers' Directory. Under this heading ad-
vertisements occupying not more than five lines will be inserted, for
subscribers to the Quarterly, without charge. Particulars can be ob-
tained from the Editor.

* The large demand during the past four months for back numbers of the
Quarterly has resulted in arrangements being made whereby we can
supply Volumes II, III, IV, V, VI or VII, handsomely bound in cloth, for
one dollar and fifty cents per volume. Single issue, twenty-five cents.

We are glad to see that the alumni are taking advantage of our re-
duced rates for periodicals. Up to date we have received 1 10 orders. A
number of subscribers have saved enough on their periodical bills to pay
for the Quarterly for several years. We have improved our facilities
and are now able to furnish any periodical that is regularly published in
this country or abroad.

Be sure and send your college annual to every other chapter, that they
may see how you stand in your alma mater. Send one also to the New

The work on the new Quinquennial catalogue is now well under way.
In order that the book may appear before the opening of the next college
year, every person who has any part to perform in connection with it
must give prompt assistance. A large part of the success of the volume
depends upon the chapter editors, and it is with them that the editor
places his hopes. He has already shown, by his vigorous, well-directed
efforts, that he is thoroughly competent to fill the requirements of his
position and that any failure will not be his fault.

To those who have undertaken Quinquennial work, we say, do it at
once and do not delay until it is too late.

For several years the Librarian has been a Fraternity officer, and during
that time conventions have come and gone without ever a word from that
worthy individual. Why this inactivity we do not know. The duties of
the position are certainly easy enough of comprehension, and the impor-
tance to the Fraternity of a good library, sufficient to demand careful
attention. If a man is elected by the convention who does not care to
undertake the work, he should favor the Fraternity immediately with
his resignation and not pose as a figurehead for a year among the Fra-
ternity officers. Delta Upsilon needs a good Fraternity library. Let the
Executive Council devote some attention to this matter, and with the
material already at hand a library can soon be gathered that will be of
much value and reflect credit on the Fraternity.

118 DELTA UP8ILON QUARTERLY.

About the hardest task we have is trying to impress on our Greek let-
ter exchanges the fact that we want four copies of each of their issues and
that all four of them are to be sent to the Delta Upsilon Quarterly,

Whenever you locate in a city where there is a Delta U. alumni associa-

Three new chapters of D. K. E., three new charters for chapters of Psi
Upsilon and two new chapters of Alpha Delta Phi are indications that
Mr. Porter's " Favorite Societies " are begining to appreciate the trend of

affairs in the Greek letter world.

" Developing our Conservatism," is the neat and appropriate term Psi
Upsilon employs in alluding to the establishment of her new chapters.

* *

With Alpha Delta Phi, Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Nu successfully
maintaining "four-year chapters" at Yale, isn't it about time Delta
Upsilon put in an appearance ? This leads us to request an expression of
views on the subject of extension, by alumni and under-graduates, for
publication in the Quarterly.

Our Cornell correspondent is mistaken when he says that their '93
delegation, numbering eight men, ' 'is as large a representation as we
have ever had in one class." The delegations in '71, '72, '73 and '74
each numbered more than eight men. These are the classes that have
given the Cornell chapter its large list of prominent alumni.

The news of the death of ex-Governor William Bross will be received
with deep regret by many members of the Fraternity, All who knew him
will be grieved to learn that the genial, warm hearted old man whom we
were proud to call " Father Bross," has passed away. This affectionate
appellation was well deserved, for from the time he helped found the
Fraternity on the fourth day of November, 1834, until his death, he kept
the faith and by-word and deed, was ever ready to advance her interests.
The date of the founding of the Fraternity was the twenty-first anniver-
sary of his birthday. For nearly fifty-six years Mr. Bross watched the
progress of the Fraternity and was never more sanguine for her future

than during the past few years. In all this time he carefully treasured
the golden emblem of membership that he had worn while in college.
He took much pride in showing it to the more recent members and tell-
ing them how much he thought of it and that he had carried it safely
through the great Chicago fire.

Mr. Bross was much interested in Lake Forest University and he hoped
some day to see a Delta U. charter there — that his four grandsons might
become members of the Fraternity. Governor Bross was frequently
elected a Fraternity officer. He delivered an oration entitled: "The
Religious Elements in Man's Nature as Developed in His Works," before
the convention held with the Cornell chapter, May 17th and 18th, 1876,
and was President of the Fraternity in 1883. The last convention that he
attended was the great semi-centennial in New York, in 1884. Though
at that time over seventy years old, he came on from Chicago especially
to be present and evinced deep interest in all that took place. His pres-
ence proved an inspiration and his advice was of much practical value.
In his famous speech at the Delmonico Banquet which ended the con-
vention, he made such an eloquent plea for extension that four new chap-
ters, Wisconsin, Lafayette, Columbia and Lehigh were installed within
eight months. An ardent believer in extension, he hoped to see the day
when there would be no dead chapters of Delta Upsilon, but an active
body of undergraduates in every prominent institution of the land. One
of the most pleasing incidents of the semi-centennial convention occurred
just before the banquet. At that time the large parlors of Delmonico's
were filled with a throng of happy Delta U's. The center of attraction
was Mr. Bross. He was surrounded by an admiring group of his "boys,"
each anxious to secure the " Father's " autograph. A card that has been
treasured since that time bears this characteristic inscription:

Services commemorative of the massacre at Schenectady, N. Y., in 1690,
-were held there in the First Reformed Church, on the evening of Feb-
ruary 9th. A poem composed for the occasion by the Rev. Charles S.
Vedder, D. D., Union, '51, of Charleston, S. C, was read, and the Rev.
Wm. Elliot Griffis, D. D., Rutgers, '69, of Boston, Mass., delivered an
oration.

One of the favorites at the last Convention was A. W. Skinner, Syra-
cuse, '90. A few weeks after the Convention, while on the way to college,
Brother Skinner fell and broke his leg. The healing of the wound was
not successful and after many weeks of confinement the limb has had to
be rebroken and reset. In addition to this, the measles have claimed him
as a victim. Brother Skinner has the hearty sympathy of his many
friends.

Banquet of The New England Club.

The New England Delta Upsilon Club had their seventh annual banquet
at Young's Hotel last evening, with sixty members around the board.
John C. Ryder presided over the post-prandial exercises. The first speaker,
Borden P. Bowne, Professor of Philosophy in Boston University, said
there was a feeling outside that students had a certain element of imma-
turity, a feeling that they were dealing with childish things after 1 the days
of childhood had passed. We are, he said, looked upon as belonging to
the childish period. We should feel when we enter college that the school
period is done, and that the college belongs to men. The college student
should be a synonyme for all that is great, high and earnest in endeavor,
and all virtuous and noble. The Rev. James F. Brodie, of Hamilton, said
his chapter had been building a chapter house, and was prosperous.
It was characteristic of the Fraternity that the thing it prized in its mem-
bership was manhood in preference to accidental advantages. The Rev.
George E. Horr, of Brown, '76, said the principle of unity in the college
society was like that in the family. There Vas no class of men which so
rapidly developed as college men. The men of ability put forward in
politics in Massachusetts were a direct result of advanced education in
the Commonwealth. Stewart Chaplin, Brown, '82, suggested the estab-
lishment of chapters of Delta Upsilon in the better colleges of the South
where there were now none, as a link to bind together North and South.
Other speakers were J. M. Potter and Frank L. Young, of Brown, '74;
C. L. Edgar, Rutgers, '82, and E. H. Hopkins, Adelbert, *8o.

John C. Ryder presided at the business meeting. These officers were
elected: President, William V. Kellen, Brown, '7^; vice-president, the
Rev. N. Boynton, Amherst, '79; secretary and treasurer, R. S. Bickford,
Harvard, '85. Executive committee, John C. Ryder, Colby, '82; the Rev.
George E. Horr, Jr., Brown, '76; C. B. Wheelock, Cornell, '76; E. A.
Slack, Amherst, '78; C. A. Bunker, Harvard, '89; W. L. Fairbanks,
Tufts, '87; C. L. Edgar, Rutgers, '82. It was voted to send a delegate to
the next convention. — Boston Herald, Decetnber nth.

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE.

WILLIAMS COLLEGE.

Another term begun ! How few are the words needed to call forth
more thoughts than could be written on many pages, were one to attempt
to express all that this one short sentence brings to mind. As we look
timidly ahead and try to pierce the veil of the "Great Unknown, " we
are still shuddering over the semi-annuals of last term, which called for
so many sleepless nights of ceaseless grind. Then, as an antidote, comes
the thought of the jolly vacation which has just passed. Was so much
fun ever crowded, before, into so small a time ? Then we turn our thoughts
from the past to the future days, here in quiet Williamstown, days of
snow and of blow, when the wind rushes up and down the Berkshire
hills until we almost imagine ourselves an isolated colony in Siberia.
Our newly enlarged library is to open its doors every evening. The
gymnasium, too, has caught the fever, and muscular callers will now be
admitted after the time for candles. A course of lectures by some of the
most eminent men in this country ; a series of concerts ; meetings of lit-
erary and musical clubs ; all will aid in keeping from us the knowledge
that we are in one of the most quiet and retired of places.

The social life in the chapter is peculiarly enjoyable this year. When
one has said that Hobart hall, our chapter house, " seems like home,"
the whole story has been told in the shortest, yet in the most expressive
way possible. Our wish is that we may see each and every member of
our sister chapters at Hobart hall.

AMHERST COLLEGE.

Winter term opens rather lugubriously for Amherst, her proximity to
the " Hub" making it necessary to indulge in a course of the popular
prevailing disease. Several professors are its temporary victims, so that
" bolts" are the order of the day. The Alpha Delta Phis have got their
handsome chapter house under roof, and work on the inside is being
rapidly pushed. The annual winter receptions, the lecture course enter-
tainments, the reception at Smith college on Washington's birthday, ap-
propriately called the "walk round," and our weekly chapter meetings,
will do much to drive away the proverbial ennui of winter term Our
chapter is, as usual, flourishing. Just now we are congratulating our-
selves over the appointment of three men out of ten to the Lester Ora-
torical contest. They are Crockett, Miles and Mulnix, with Chase as
second substitute, no other society has such a large representation on
the Lester.

We hope to give a reception soon, but are rather discouraged by the
news from our " cousins across the river," that positively no college girls
will be allowed to come over to receptions in Amherst. As we have

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 127

heard that same rule for two years past and seen the numerous excep-
tions, we again take heart. We hope our brothers in the vicinity will
not neglect our invitations as we can assure all of a hearty welcome and,
we hope, a good time.

ADELBERT COLLEGE.

The first term has passed pleasantly away, the " exams " are over, and
we are now well into the second term. We received, not long since, an
interesting and encouraging letter from Brother Frank Kuhn, '87, who
is practicing law at Tacoma, Washington. We are glad to hear by letter
from the enthusiastic brothers, who are too far away to have an oppor-
tunity to visit us. Brother Osborn was one of three speakers who repre-
sented the senior class at the entertainment given in honor of Washing-
ton's birthday.

The Junior Promenade which was introduced by '90 last year with
such success, was not neglected by the juniors this year. On Tuesday
evening, December 17th, a number of the boys and their friends, accom-
panied by a like number of the fair maids of Cleveland, assembled in our
gymnasium. This building had been transformed by the removal of the
various machines with which our athletes are wont to torture themselves,
and by the substitution of the national colors, and the red and gray in-
dicative of the prowess of '91. A programme of twenty one dances had
been prepared and the enjoyment of this was only interrupted by an
equally pleasant intermission during which refreshments were served. It
was at a rather early hour when the company dispersed, and the second
annual Junior Promenade was voted a success. The Junior Promenade
promises to be continued as an established institution and to take a de-
servedly high rank among our college amusements.

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE.

'91 has some fine base ball material in it, and a large number of men
are in systematic training for positions on the nine; we have a good bat-
tery, and it is hoped that Middlebury will put a stronger team in the
field than for some time past Situated as we are, it is very difficult to
arrange a good schedule of games for the season. The faculty and cor-
poration are continuing their energetic work, and money and freshmen
are becoming more numerous. '94 probably will be much larger than
'93. Nor is Delta U. behind time; we have come to realize that, with
judicious care in our selections, pledging in-coming freshmen is of great
advantage. This term we expect to make several valuable additions to
our hall and library. Our '93 members are solid men, every one. They
are taking hold in a way that predicts a prosperous future to Delta U. at
Middlebury.

128 DELTA UP8ILOX QUARTERLY.

RUTGERS COLLEGE.

Rutgers is experiencing increasing prosperity. Every chair in the
faculty is filled, besides having three adjunct professors. The new dor-
mitory, a gift of the Hon. Garrett E. Winants, of Bergen Point, is near-
ing completion. The library, under the management of Brother Upson,
'81, has attained such a magnitude as to necessitate new quarters soon, it
having been recently supplemented by bequests made by Dr. Jonathan
Stearns, through his son-in-law, Prof. Scott, who occupies the chair of
history, and also by the late Dr. George J.Janeway. The endowment fund
has been increased by contributions made by two. friends, whose names
are, at request, withheld.

During January New Brunswick has been undergoing a spiritual re-
vival, at the hands of the Rev. B. Fay Mills, Hamilton , '79. He has
preached to large audiences twice a day, and has met with signal success.
Many of the college men have participated in the meetings. During his
stay here, on behalf of the college Y. M. C. A., he delivered an address
to the students. On an invitation extended by our chapter he visited our
chapter hall; in the course of his remarks he said he had preached in a
number of college towns, and wherever he had found the Delta Upsilon
Fraternity represented, he always found them honorable and manly fel-
lows, or, to use his own words, "men of true ring."

The annual ball given by the junior class occured on the night of
February 7, and was, as usual, a brilliant affair. Brother Challen was
a member of the committee of arrangements. At the last meeting of the
Targum Association, Brother Van Orden, '90, was elected editor-in-chief.
Brother Johnson, '91, is teaching in the Rutgers grammar school, in con-
nection with his college duties. Brother Mather, '92, has obtained hon-
orable mention for special work done in French. There is no prize
offered in this subject, so the award is equal to a prize for work done in
that language.

Since the foot ball season closed there has been little athletic activity,
though our boys with gymnastic tastes have not been idle. Our redoubt-
able senior, Brother Lockett, competed for the prize offered by a local
organization for the best half-mile run, and won it. To further enhance
Delta U.'s reputation in athletics, on New Year's night Brother Thomas,
'92, won the Y. M. C. A. silver cup for the best half mile.

A group picture of the chapter was recently taken, and now, suitably
framed adorns our hall. During the past term we have received visits
from Brothers Davisson, Pennsylvania, '89, and Seibert, New York, '89.
The latter is pursuing a course in the Theological Seminary here.

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 129

BROWN UNIVERSITY.

The Brown chapter greets the brothers of Delta Upsilon. We take
pleasure in reporting a profitable winter. The attendance at our meet-
ings has been excellent,, as only a few of the brothers have been ill or
regularly detained. Our literary exercises have been performed faith-
fully and intelligently, and as the year draws to a close, we realize the
value of such work. Our programme was occasionally varied and new
features introduced. The result has repaid all additional effort The
semi-annual marks, as usual, have given Delta U. a high position in all
four classes. Brother Fish, '93, is our representative on the ball nine,
and Brother Meader, '91, was recently elected a member of the executive
committee of the New England Intercollegiate Athletic Association. We
have pledged two men from '94, and the new delegation promises to
equal, if not surpass, that of former years.

MADISON UNIVERSITY.

Our venerable president, Ebenezer Dodge, D. D., LL. D., died on
January 5th. He had reached his seventy-first year, but was so hale and
vigorous that few anticipated any serious illness coming to him imme-
diately. We cannot forbear a word in reference to his place in the hearts
of the students. To say that his students loved him is not enough. Men
far less cultured who had not his intellectual power have been loved.
But behind the love, prompting and supplementing it, was a sincere ad-
miration and esteem for the real power of the man. He was more than
a lecturer on theology and ethics, more than the president of a Baptist
university; he was a man whose earnest thought won him a place beyond
the limits of his denomination and the catholicity of whose faith en-
deared him to all sincere believers. Dr. Dodge was a graduate of Brown
University, and a member of Alpha Delta Phi.

Chapter work during the winter term is naturally quiet. The only
thing of interest is the initiation of another member of the freshman
class, Brother I. H. Wood. The dearth of fraternity news gives an op-
portunity to ask a question or two. Are not all of us too little communi-
cative, in our chapter letters to the Quarterly, upon such matters as
methods of work ? For instance, many would like to know the plans
pursued by other chapters in their action upon the resolution adopted
by the convention of 1888, requiring the examination of lower class men
upon Fraternity history and administration. Outlines of literary work
are always suggestive. As a contribution of that nature we might say
that among us, extemporaneous speaking upon current topics is being
more insisted upon. Another question : is it possible to establish in the
Quarterly a teachers' directory, where under-graduates desiring posi-
tions could register, and thereby, perhaps, come under the observation
of alumni ?

130 1)ELTA UP8ILON QUARTERLY.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY.

Since our regular initiation we have initiated another freshman, mak-
ing our '93 delegation number eight men. This is as large a represen-
tation as we have ever had in one class and the fraternity spirit evinced,
augurs well for the future success of the chapter. Plans for our chapter
house, which will be erected on the campus, are being rapidly pushed.
The chapter and alumni are entering into the work with an earnestness
that cannot fail to accomplish its purpose.

The circumstances attending the death of our brother, Lieutenant
Seward Mott, '82, were given in an Arizona dispatch of recent date,
which states that Nabdiezaza, an Apache Indian, who murdered Lieuten-
ant Mott, of the Tenth Cavalry, on the Gilia River, San Carlos, Reserva-
tion, March 10th, 1887, had been hanged. Lieutenant Mott was treach-
erously stabbed in the back by the Indian, who was in a quarrelsome
mood. The Lieutenant was a popular young officer, and there is great
satisfaction in knowing that the Indian who took his life has met with a
just fate.

Cornell, having a large student body, has become a desirable place
for frtaernities. Chapters of Alpha Zeta and Delta Tau Delta have re-
cently been established, making in all twenty fraternities. The success
of our crew last spring has aroused great enthusiasm among the students
and a most hearty support will be given to the crew this year. Brother
Emerick, '91, who was coxswain of the crew last year, has entered again
for the same position.

MARIETTA COLLEGE.

Since our last letter Marietta has moved along in her usual prosperous
course, with little to disturb her serenity. While we have had no
" boom" in the usual sense of the word, we are in the midst of an " era
of good feeling," a period perhaps dangerous to the life of a growing
fraternity, but, nevertheless, pleasant while it lasts. We can say now,
what we have often been unable to say, that we are not troubled by a
single jarring or discordant element. During the last term we have been
trying to make our meetings instructive as well as enjoyable by the ad-
dition of regular literary work. The reading and discussion of interest-
ing articles in the periodicals is, as far as we have advanced as yet, but
if this is successful we hope to introduce a complete system, such as the
last Harvard letter reported as in operation there.

We have been watching for some time the development of the Pan-
Hellenic idea in the other colleges as chronicled in the pages of the
Quarterly. Various attempts have been made to form such an asso-
ciation here, but little interest has been shown by the fraternities. Al-
though there is little hard feeling, yet the idea is too new here to meet

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 181

with much approval. Like other needed reforms in the relations of the

fraternities the spirit of Pan-Hellenism moves slowly, but it must come in

time, and when it does the Marietta chapter of Delta U. will be the first

to welcome it

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.

We have initiated five freshmen, every one of whom is a " true blue"
son of Delta U. We expect to increase this number somewhat before the
end of the year. The weightiest consideration with us, in favor of a large
freshman delegation is the large number of sophomores, who are now
enrolled in the chapter. Of late they have assumed complete
charge of those supplementary initiation ceremonies which have come
to be an established custom. At one of our initiations this year,
the sophomores evidently reckoned without their host. They forced
the bewildered freshman who had just been initiated to grasp a pillow
and try his mettle with a muscular sophomore who had been
selected as his antagonist. But imagine the consternation of the '92
men when the freshman came off victorious. No doubt the sophomore
brethren will select a more terrible form of persecution when they
"tackle" their next victim. The university has recently sustained a
great affliction in the death of the venerable Dr. Frieze. He was pro-
fessor of Latin for thirty-five years and was beloved by all who came in
contact with him.

Since our last letter was written we have given two dancing parties in
our parlors. Michigan would be very loth to give up these pleasant
features of fraternity life. At our meeting, February 1st, we were enter-
tained by a novelty in the shape of a minstrel show. The programme
committee seems disposed to introduce a little poetry into the ordinarily
prosaic literary meetings.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.
Twenty-one loyal men are looking after Delta U's interests at North-
western. Our meetings are enthusiastic and our condition is prosperous.
Altogether we claim one of the best chapter organizations in the North-
west, and invite comparison with those of the east. We have been
peculiarly fortunate in receiving college honors this year, and they have
come spontaneously. Brother Holden, '90, is editor-in-chief of the
Syllabus board; Brother Haggerty, '91, is editor-in-chief of the North-
western; Brother Denny is chairman of the committee on University
Day, an institution peculiar, we believe, to Northwestern. On this day,
February 22d, our departments in Chicago, of Law, Medicine, Pharmacy
and Dentistry, come out to Evanston, the 'guests of the college of Lib-
eral Arts. We, the hosts, divide our attention between entertaining
them and restraining their Bacchanalian proclivities, which are encour-
aged by a life in the adjacent metropolis, while in pursuit of a pro-
fessional education.

132 DELTA UP8ILON QUARTERLY.

James S. Graham, '92, is working some of his money making schemes
on the oily Mexican; E. H. Webb, '93, was compelled to give up work
on account of ill health; Charles W. Ferguson, '93, is now giving his
undivided attention to his flock; to balance this loss Brother Burton, '92,
has returned, and we have initiated Paul Tulleys, '93, of Council Bluffs,
la. Our thanks are due our alumni, who have kindly helped us furnish
our new apartments. Brother Elmore, '89, is now residing in Evanston
and his presence often graces our meetings. Brother Beers, '89, has also
been here several weeks recuperating.

There is very little friction between the fraternities at present The
local chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma has been revived. The Sigma Chis
are improving; they exhibit a great deal of enthusiasm though it is often
misdirected. This letter was hardly written when the news came of the
death of Brother E. H. McMasters '92, who had been very ill with
typhoid fever and congestion of the brain. This is the first time that
death has entered our active chapter, and it is a sad blow to us who have
known Brother McMasters so intimately.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

The chapter now numbers thirty-nine active members. Several pro-
jected and a few accomplished internal reorganizations have called forth
vigorous debates, and have given a zest to almost every meeting; so that
we can say, we are now on the road to acquiring a somewhat livelier
esprit de corps than we have always had. As far as the chapter itself is
concerned, there is every reason to be satisfied with our position. In our
relations with other chapters we are, I suppose, in much the same con-
dition that the chapters in other colleges are in — we have none. To be
sure we go to Brown and Tufts once a year, and Brown and Tufts come
here likewise, once a year; at these annual visits, in spite of the fraternal
welcome, we meet more as strangers than as brothers; for we have little
chance to become acquainted. Colby we never hear of, and Amherst
seldom. With Williams, by the accident of personal friendships, we are
now in somewhat more intimate relations; but, after all, those relations
are rather personal than fraternal. As to the chapters outside of New
England, they are as out of the world.

There ought to be some effort made toward a firmer union between the
New England chapters, so that one chapter should know another, as a
chapter, and feel an active interest in its existence. I have no directions
to give to this effort; but I can say that the desideratum seems to me for
every Delta U. man in a New England college to know every other,
and know him well. To know him well, he must meet him often. If every
Harvard Delta U. knew every Amherst Delta U. I believe there would
be a more live, human interest at Harvard in the Amherst chapter.
There are obvious difficulties in the way of such personal acquaintances.
We should, however, come as near to the desideratum as we can; and I

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 183

am glad to say that two Harvard men expect to visit the Amherst and
the Williams chapters very soon, they hope not for the only time, though
it is the first. Harvard doesn't need to extend an invitation to any
Delta Upsilon man who happens to be in Boston Monday night to come
out to our meeting; and if such a man anywhere makes up his mind to
be with us, he will be among his own.

Brother Ames, Amherst, '89, and Hopkins, Adelbert, '89, are this year
in the Harvard Law School. Brother Kitchen, Syracuse, '82, is in the
Graduate Department. All of these brothers come to our meetings occa-
sionally. Brother McCulloch, '91, is one of the editors of the Harvard
Monthly.

Deturs, prize* given to sophomores for excellent scholarship in their

freshman year, and to such juniors as did not receive them in their

sophomore year, but during that year made marked improvement in

scholarship, were awarded to Brothers Benner, Johnson and Reed. The

scholarships awarded to seven of our initiates aggregate $ 1,900. The

total amount of the scholarships paid to undergraduate Delta U. 's is thus

$3,000.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.

The Wisconsin chapter begins the winter term with a membership of
seventeen men — the largest we have had in our four years of existence.
Lest this seem a small chapter to our eastern brothers, let me say that
we are at least as large as the average of the chapters here. Besides,
like all true Delta U's, we prefer to count more on quality than on num-
bers. Since our last chapter letter was written the University has suf-
fered an irreparable loss in the death of Professor William F. Allen.
Aside from this blow the year has been in the main a prosperous one. A
slight hazing disturbance occurred early in the fall term, and the faculty
adopted the plan, new here, of turning the matter over to the courts to
be investigated. The press took up the affair, and what was originally
an insignificant attempt at hazing, participated in by but four students,
became under journalistic management a riot of large proportions. It is
to be hoped that the reports of our blood-thirstiness did not reach our
eastern friends, or if they did, that they were not believed.

Fraternity affairs in the University have been very quiet The annual
Inter-fraternity party was abandoned this year, and there have been fewer
chapter parties than usual. Our relations with other chapters seem
pleasant, though some of them recognize us this year for the first time,
as a dangerous rival.

Delta U. has more than her share of honors in the University, judging
by numbers. Brothers Bruce and Tarrant are managing editors of the
Aegis, our college paper, and Brothers Cairns and Kronshage hold posi-
tions on the editorial staff. Brother True is assistant in the department
of biology, and takes charge of the zoology laboratories this term.

134 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

Brother Smith is college librarian, and Brother Whitton, '89, still holds
his fellowship in philosophy. Brother Bennett is a captain in the Uni-
versity Battalion. Brother Kronshage represents his society on Junior
Exhibition. Brother Boughton is first tenor of the glee club. We
also wish to record an honor of another sort. Brother Polleys, '88,
dropped into a recent chapter meeting and blushingly announced him-
self the father of a "bouncing" girl. This is the first instance of the
kind in our annals. Two new men have been initiated since our last
letter was written, Clement A. Boughton, '93, of Baraboo, Wis., and
Charles Elmer Allen, '93, of Horicon, Wis.

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE.

The college term opened under rather sad auspices. Joseph E. Fox,
professor of civil engineering, died from a stroke of paralysis on Decem-
ber 26th. He was connected with the college for some years and was a
man of recognized ability. The vacancy is being temporarily filled by
J. Madison Porter of '86. We have recently initiated Percival L. Hoag,
'93, of Manhassett, L. I. Brother Griffith, '91, having returned to college
we number fourteen. We are pleased to have with us Brother Warren
S. Blauvelt, Columbia, 'go, who is the engineer for the Eastern Electric
Street Car company. Brother Price, '89, now at Princeton seminary,
visited his friends here lately.

The principal social event of college circles was the junior hop, which
took place on the 12th of February. Brother Hempstead was on the
committee of arrangements.

TUFTS COLLEGE.

Everything is going along nicely for Delta U. at Tufts; we have a large
and comfortable hall at West Somerville in which our meetings are held.
Of late these meetings have been everything one could desire in the way
of attendance, and our Tuesday evening meetings are usually a source of
much pleasure. We have instituted, in place of the old-time debates,
extemporaneous discussions, which the president has power to " spring "
upon us at any time; we find these more helpful and pleasant than the
debates on which one had to spend considerable labor, while the re-
mainder did not feel any responsibility.

There is one thing that we think rather strange; it is that from one
year to the next we seldom have any Delta U's call on us except at
special occasions. Is it because our brothers do not know where we are,
or how to get here ? It seems that being as near Boston as we are, that
some of the large number of our fraternity men who must pass through
there once or twice a year, might occasionally drop in upon us; they will
always find a warm welcome. We have our usual share of men in the
various offices, being well represented on the glee club, banjo club,
Tuftonian and Annual.

UNION UNIVERSITY.

'39. The President has appointed ex-Go v. Austin Blair, of Michigan,
as Assay Commissioner. Gov. Blair is now in his 72d year. His has
been a remarkable political history. In 1859 ^ e was prominent enough
to be a Republican candidate for the Senate. In i860 he was a delegate
to the Chicago Convention. His record as War Governor of Michigan
is still remembered. After leaving the gubernatorial chair he served for
eight years as a member of the House, and was once or twice again a
candidate for the Senate. In 1872 he was one of the leaders among the
liberal Republicans and was a strong opponent of Gen. Grant. In 1876
he headed the Tilden Electoral ticket. Four years later he was a Gar-
field Elector. In 1881 he was made a Regent of the State University,
and in 1883 was beaten for the Supreme Court. In 1885 he was chosen
Prosecuting Attorney of his county, the same office he had filled nearly
forty years before. He was mentioned for a place on the Civil-Service
Commission when President Harrison came in. His recent appointment
as Assay Commissioner is said to be grateful to him. Notwithstanding

'61. The degree of 1,1* D. has been conferred by Hamilton College
upon the Hon. David L,. Kiehle, superintendent of public instruction for
Minnesota. This is a merited compliment to long services in the inter-
ests of education. Mr. Kiehle graduated from the State Normal School
at Albany, N. Y., in 1856, from Hamilton in 1861, and from Union Theo-
logical Seminary in New York, in 1865. Coming westward, he was for
some years pastor of the Presbyterian church at Preston, in this state.
For six years, beginning in 1869, he was county superintendent of schools
for Fillmore county, -and in 1873 was appointed a member of the state
normal board, serving in that position two years. In 1875 he was called
to the presidency of the State Normal School at St Cloud, and held that
position for six years. He has now completed his eighth year as super-
intendent of public instruction, having been first appointed by Gov.
Pillsbury to complete the term of the late Superintendent Burt, and being
re-appointed twice by Gov. Hubbard, once by Gov. McGill, and in Jan-
uary last by Gov. Merriam, under whose administration he still holds
office. It is in this last position that Mr. Kiehle's services have been of
the greatest value to the cause of education. It might well be termed
the formative period of our educational system, and in connection with
it Mr. Kiehle deserves much credit for the development of the state high
school system and the teachers' institute system, while he had always
taken a deep interest in the normal schools and the university. — St. Paul

'79. " Evangelist B. Fay Mills approaches the ancient standard of
Christianity more nearly than some of his brethren of the same cloth.
He comes not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Mr. Mills
has begun a series of services in Jersey City. The seating capacity of
the Tabernacle church where the services are held is about 4,000. Last
night many were turned away. Next Monday Mr. Mills will begin his
attack on sinners. Every professed Christian must bring a professed
sinner along with him in order to secure admission to the hall. This
seems to be a good plan. Revival services are too often used as a means
of further grace by professed Christians than as an attack on the strong-
hold of sinners. If Protestant divines would take a hint from the admir-
able organization of the Roman Catholic church the results on habitual
non-church goers would be very much larger than they are now. Mr.
Mills has hit on one good plan." — New York Sun, Feb. 7. 1890

has been a vast deal of exaggeration, in official reports and elsewhere, of
the progress which Alaska has made toward the stage of civilization,
which requires a rally organized Territorial government Mr. Knapp
believes that the white population of Alaska does not exceed 3,500. His
predecessor put it at 6,500. The whole population, including both civil-
ized and uncivilized natives, has not materially increased, in Mr. Knapp's
opinion, since 1880, when it was estimated at 33,426. The value of all
the real estate, except mines and mills, of which individuals or corpora-
tions have titles within the Territory, does not exceed $ 15,000; and
Governor Knapp reports that an estimate of $5, 000,000 as the value of all
taxable property in Alaska, would be rather too high than too low. The
Governor thinks that the interests of the Territory demand some sort of
representation in Congress ; and yet, in his judgment, the time has not
arrived for a full Territorial organization. "How then," he asks, "can
representation be secured ? It must be admitted that an election would
be a farce of the most ludicrous character." He thinks that it would be
a good plan to keep the Governor of the Territory in Washington while
Congress is in session, because during the winter that officer is not of
much use in Alaska. " But it does not seem reasonable," adds the pres-
ent Governor, "that he should be expected to go there on a leave of ab-
sence to attend to the public business, neither is it dignified for him to
be hanging about Congress as a lobbyist, nor to be subjected to humilia-
ting intimations that he is loafing and absent from his post of duty. He
should go there, if at all, because the law requires him to do so as a part
of his legitimate work." We should say that Alaska has a sensible Gov-
ernor just now, and also that there is no immediate prospect that the
immense region will very soon require two representatives in the United
States Senate. — New York Sun, February 11.

You are giving us in every aumber a fine nmount of reading matter in exception-
ally excellent form; and a very good history of all the passing events of our alumni. —
Anson L. Hobart, M. D., Williams, '36, Worcester, Mass.

I possess four volumes of the Quarterly, three of which are bound, and esteem
them among the most valuable of literature. I would not miss a volume under any
consideration. — William F. Alden, Middlebury, '89, Rutland, Vt.

I am very much pleased with the D. U. Quarterly. It seems to grow better and
better each year. I believe it to be a great power for good in our colleges, a most
acceptable visitor to the Alumni. — The Hon. Ira W. Allen, LL. D., Hamilton, '50,
Chicago, 111.

I believe strongly in the good old society; it did much for me. I love its high aims
and its integrity. Do not let it recede from the high standard it has set for itself.
Multum non multa should be its motto. Numbers are nothing, men are everything.
- James L. Barton, Middlebury, '81, Harpoot, Turkey in Asia.

Glad to get your circular about the Quarterly, and if you will present the bill to
my brother he will pay it. By all means do not fail to do this, as I would not be with-
out it for anything. I find it more and more interesting. Try and keep up well the
Alumni department. That is what interests us, as well as present progress. — The
Rev. Horace G. Underwood, New York, '81, Seoul, Korea.

I appreciate the Quarterly very highly, and hope it will receive the support from
the Fraternity which it so well deserves. When will the Quinquennial be out, or is it
so far back that it cannot be predicted ? I sent one recruit for the Lafayette chapter
last fall, and expect to send another next— both the kind of which good Delta U's are
made. — Principal John G. Conner/ Lafayette, '87, Colora, Md.

I should be glad to give you some items of interest, but garrison life on the Staked
Plains of Texas, with the neighboring Indians at peace, has little of the eventful in
its routine. The enterprise and ability with which the Quarterly is conducted
must be a matter of congratulation to every member of Delta Upsilon. — Major James
P. Kimball, M. D., U. S. Army, Hamilton, '65, Fort Elliott, Texas.

CHANCELLOR FRANCLS H. SNOW.

MET 'AVQNA ZTE&ANOZ is the motto of the class
of '62 of Williams College ; and a royal family has that class
proved to be. Several of its members enlisted in the Union
army during the War of the Rebellion. Of these, two lost
their lives in the service, one, J. H. Goodhue, was a Delta U.
'Sixty-two has provided the Medical College of Kansas City,
Mo., with its President, Dr. E. W. Shauffler. It has furnished
its Alma Mater with a trio of professors: Raymond, Griffin
and Carter. The last of these, Dr. Franklin Carter, was elected
to the presidency of Williams College in 1881. J. Edward
Simmons has been president of the New York Stock Exchange,
and is now President of the Board of Education and the
Fourth National Bank.

'Sixty-two's latest and lasting cause for congratulation ex-
ists in the distinguished honor won by Francis Huntington
Snow ; namely, his election, on the 10th of April, to the posi-
tion of Chancellor of the University of Kansas. Dr. Snow-
was born in Fitchburg, Mass., June 29, 1840. In college he

164 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

was prominent as a hard-working student, and was regarded
with much interest by Dr. Mark Hopkins, then the president
of the college. He joined Delta Upsilon early in his course.
In his Sophomore year he was noted for his skill in the game
of chess, and was a competitor in the games played with Am-
herst at that time. In his Junior year he was treasurer and
librarian of the " L. N. H./'also treasurer of 'Logian. At the
Junior Exhibition he delivered the Greek oration — the highest
honor. In his Senior year he was one of the disputants of
the Adelphic Union, and vice-president of 'Logian. At the
Commencement Exercises he received the degree of A. B., and
delivered the Valedictory oration, having won the first honor.
He was also elected a member of Phi Beta Kappa. After
teaching in the Fitchburg High School for part of a year, he
entered Andover Theological Seminary, from which he was
graduated in 1866. He was never ordained to the ministry ;
his study of theology he considered merely a part of his scheme
of a liberal education. He removed to Kansas in the year in
which he finished study at Andover. Two years later he
returned, and married Miss Jane A. Aiken on the 8th of July,
1868. This union was blessed with six children, of whom five
are alive.

In July, 1866, Dr. Snow was elected a member of the first
faculty of the University of Kansas, and was made Professor
of Mathematics and Natural Science. His ability to enter
upon the duties of this position gives evidence of Prof. Snow's
broad culture. His education had been principally upon other
lines than these upon which he was assigned to teach ; but he
was equal to the necessity of the situation, and devoted himself
with a constant energy and intelligent purpose to Natural Sci-
ence. He was so successful that he not only established his
own fame as a scientist throughout this country and in Europe,
but also secured for the University the erection of Snow Hall, a
spacious museum, and placed within it a rare collection. In this
Hall can be found nearly 200,000 specimens of animal life, of
which number about 80,000 are insects. Dr. Snow contri-
buted personally to the entomology of Kansas by the dis-
covery of two hundred new insects. It is difficult to state, and
more difficult to comprehend, the great amount of work he

CHANCELLOR FRANCIS H. SNOW. 165

has accomplished outside of his class-rooms and laboratories.
To quote from Mr. Frank L. Webster's account of his life,
" He has catalogued 600 species of Kansas plants, 300 species
of Kansas birds, lists of the fishes and land animals of Kan-
sas, and a list of the insects of Kansas, Colorado and New
Mexico." He has kept complete meteorological records ever
since he began his life-work in Kansas, and has made many
observations and experiments which have proved of value to
agriculture. He is President of the Kansas Academy of Sci-
ence, Fellow of the American Association for the Advance-
ment of Science, member of the New York Entomological
Society, of the Boston Zoological Society, and of the Daven-
port Academy of Science, a member of the Cambridge Ento-
mological Club, and an editor of its publication, Psyche. He
is the most valuable and probably the most learned member
of the Faculty of the University.

When the Chancellorship became vacant in 1889, by the
retirement of Dr. Lippincott, there was a peculiar sentiment
expressed to the effect that an Eastern man should be found
to fill the position. It is said that two Eastern men declined
to enter upon its responsibilities, and then this sentiment dis-
appeared, and Professor Snow was immediately selected Chan-
cellor. Dr. Robert W. Oliver, the first Chancellor, who retired
in 1867, upon hearing of the election of Professor Snow, wrote
him saying : u The State has done a wise thing in placing one
at the head of its University who has done so much for its
elevation, usefulness and perpetuation." Wise, indeed, was
the choice ; for Dr. Snow's characteristics — devotion, erudi-
tion, breadth of view and executive ability — render him a
model chieftain. To the students his elevation was peculiarly
acceptable, judging from the reports in the University Courier.
Hilarity and enthusiasm reigned supreme for two days. In
the style of which collegians alone are masters, the boys ex-
pressed their appreciation of the Regent's felicitous choice
and their affection for the new Chancellor. Dr. Snow has long
-enjoyed the trust and confidence of the friends of the Univer-
sity and of the people of the State. His administration will
be eminently successful and honorable. A. W. F.

THE DELTA U. CAMP AT LAKE GEORGE.

Lake George ! What unwritten
history clusters around this pictur-
esque spot ! To the many Delta

U's who, for successive seasons, have
whiled away the mid-summer days

by camping on her wooded isles,
~"~ the name will not fail to recall

memories as bright as the sunlight that falls on her sapphire
waters. The camping season of '89 was opened by the advent
of two canoeists who made their appearance at the Lake
about the first of August.

They found, however, that they had been preceded by an
enthusiastic camper of previous years, who had gone up early
for the avowed purpose of "spying out the land." Like
.Eneas on the island of Calypso he was lured from his object
by two maidens, and the only place that he succeeded in
" spying out," was the most secluded nook on the hotel piazza.
With a gentle reminder, that desirable as might 'be, Che tent
could not be permanently pitched there, we proceeded to find
a suitable position for the camp. To our great sorrow we
found that Leontine Island, one of the most beautiful and
desirable of the group that nestles around Bolton Landing,
and which we occupied the y-ear previous, was already taken
by a " Greek," who, we were afterward told, found balm for a
broken heart by making himself the sole occupant of this
sequestered isle. After a lengthy search and a brief council of
war, we decided to locate on one of the State islands, known
by the unpoetic name of "Huckleberry."

Here we pitched our tent, lighted our camp-fire, and thus
opened the season of '89. One by one the boys began to
arrive, until representatives from a dozen different chapters
were present, and by the end of the second week we found our
canvas scarcely able to cover all the campers. The law of
adaptation, however, works marvels in camp life, and by plac-
ing a row of trunks in the center of the tent, a clothes line. over-
head, from pole to pole, (the only place we could hang the
articles of our limited wardrobe), and a row of mattresses on

THE DELTA UPS1L0N CAMP AT LAKE GEORGE. 167

each side of the trunks, we made snug quarters for the rest of
our stay. Not a day passed that we did not muster our little
band and sally forth to Bolton Dock to meet the boat that
made daily excursions from Caldwell. Thus we were always
at hand to give Delta U. arrivals a hearty and fraternal wel-
come. When the boat swung into the dock the boys lined
up, and at a signal, the camp yell, Rah, rah. rah, rah ! Delta
U ! Ha, ha ! Rah, rah ! Ha, ha ! Delta U. Camp ! was
given with such telling effect, that the usually calm and peace-

ful " George " lashed himself into a seething foam. As far as
Bolton Landing was concerned, Delta U. held undisputed sway.
" Ladies' Day " was a prominent feature in camp life. On
a certain day of each week, announcement was made to the
five neighboring hotels, that Delta Upsilon would be at home
to receive the ladies. The preparations prior to these affairs
were of a most interesting character. While order is not the
first law of camp life, we were decidedly opposed to the idea of

THE DELTA UPSILON CAMP AT LAKE GEORGE. 169

having our fair friends see to what an extent masculine con-
fusion could attain ; consequently, on the morning of those
eventful days, we organized ourselves into a house-cleaning
brigade, and by means of broom, rake and shovel, made our
quarters look as presentable as the circumstances would per-
mit. Then, arraying ourselves in fine linen and winning
smiles, and with the addition of banjo and song, we awaited
the coming of our guests. In the early afternoon, a score of
row boats and canoes could be seen approaching the island.
As each boat touched the shore, a salute of welcome was
given, and the fair freight safely landed. Upon their arrival
we resolved ourselves into sub-committees, and proceeded to
initiate them into the mysteries of camp life. One of the
most interesting of these was our barber shop, consisting of a
looking glass and soap box, in which were deposited shaving

- cups, brushes, and razors. However simple this may seem, it
never failed to appeal to feminine curiosity, and searching
indeed were the glances bestowed upon this mystery of our
toilet. The inside of the tent was inspected with maidenly

, modesty, and we were frequently complimented on our neat
method of keeping house. Within ourselves we chuckled, and
sighed with the prophet of old, " verily appearances are deceit-
ful." We shall never forget the expressions of horror that
arose when we explained what interesting vigils we frequently
kept, through nightly visitations from the ant, spider, and
cricket. The tour of inspection finished, refreshments were
served, which on these occasions consisted of ginger pop and
bolivers. Though a simple repast, it was evidently enjoyed
by the daintiest of the party.

Delta U. songs were always in demand, and met with much
enthusiasm. Camp is the place where they are heard to the
best advantage ; there the hills send back pleasing echoes
across the quiet water. Into the hearts of many of our visitors
these songs have fallen, to be sung in new homes, where the
strains caught up, perhaps, by some younger brother, may in
the future bear a fruitful harvest for our beloved Fraternity.

Too much time would be required to tell of the tennis
tournaments, the yachting and lawn parties, the boat races,
base ball games, the germans and hops in which the campers

170 DELTA UPS1LON QUARTERLY.

took a conspicuous part. All these were features of our daily
life.

Nightly we gathered around the burning logs of our camp-
fire. Here, under its glow, wrapped in our blankets, and
smoking our pipes of peace, all hearts were warmed into a
kindlier sympathy and a more fraternal enthusiasm. The
hours were whiled away with story and song, with merry jest
and hearty laughter, until the dying embers bade us say

"JOLLY CAMPERS THESE.

" good-night." We realized that the Delta U. Camp was some-
thing more than a place of summer recreation. To us it was
the creator of a deeper enthusiasm and a more enduring
loyalty for those principles which make us brothers.

The camp fires that burnt so brightly on old " Huckleberry,"
did not die out when the last flickering embers expired, bul
lighted by memory's torch they have oft been rekindled into
fond recollections of the days that too soon sped away.

Frank. P. Revnolds, New York '90.

THE FRATERNITY HOUSES AT HAMILTON

COLLEGE.

The last decade has witnessed a revolution in student life
at Hamilton. The "good old times" when all roomed in the
dormitories and ate at the same table, and when u a worthy-
theological student was granted the privilege of selling
herrings, beer, and crackers to the other students, to help him
meet his expenses, 1 ' are gone forever. The growing import-
ance of fraternity life caused a separation into boarding
clubs on strict fraternity lines ; and this proved an entering
wedge to the chapter-house system.

At present, all the Greek-letter fraternities at Hamilton own
chapter-houses. The most immediate effect growing from
this fact is the gradual decrease in class spirit ; — whether or
not to the detriment of the college is a disputed question. It
was much feared at first that this would be followed by a cor-
responding increase in fraternity exclusiveness ; but fortu-
nately it has not yet proven true. Fraternity loyalty and
spirit are no less strong than they have always been ; if any
change has occurred, it has been toward fairness of dealing
and manliness of Inter-fraternal relations.

The first of these chapter-houses to be erected, and the first
that greets the eye of one coming up College Street, is the
Sigma Phi Hall. It was built* of brick, in 1871, and is in
conformity to the idea prevalent at that time, (and still held
by some fraternity men), that a chapter-house should be
primarily and almost exclusively for chapter meetings and
social gatherings. There are only two sleeping apartments,
and at present only two of the Chapter room there. Its situ-
ation, on the south side of the street, about five minutes' walk
from the depot, is a well chosen one, though no other of the
chapters have selected town sites. Sigma Phi was founded at

* Were this article to be read exclusively by persons acquainted with
the houses mentioned, it would be an interesting study to note the various
values placed on their property by the different chapters. But since it is
not, and considering the evidently inflated values given by some, and the
impossibility of obtaining more accurate ones from other sources, it has
seemed more just to all not to give the separate valuations, but to merely
state that they vary in cost from $9,000 to $18,000.

Union, in 1827, and the Hamilton Chapter was established in
1831. Prominent among her alumni are, the late Gilbert C.
Walker, '54, Ex-Governor of Virginia ; Col. Emmons Clark,
'47 ; the Hon. John Cochrane, '31, and the Hon. John Jay
Knox, '49, all of New York ; Prof. Oren Root, '56, of Hamil-
ton College.

Although not the next in construction, the Delta Kappa
Epsilon House is the next in location on College Street. In
1885, the Chapter purchased and remodeled a large dwelling
situated at the foot of College Hill, known to all old students
as the Spencer Place. This was burned in the summer vaca-
tion of 1886 ; but they decided to rebuild on the old site, and
early in 1888 a new house stood ready for occupation. It was
built of wood in the Queen Ann style, and will accommodate
twenty students, besides fraternity and public rooms, and
culinary department. The Fraternity was founded at Yale
in 1844 ; this Chapter was established in 1856. Among their
most eminent alumni are the Rev. Dr. W. C. Winslow, '62, of
Boston ; the Hon. J. D. Henderson, '68, of Herkimer ; the
Rev. Dr. Willis J. Beecher, '58, of Auburn ; A. Minor Gris-
wold, '59, of New York ; and the Hon. A. J. Whightman, '8i,
of Duluth.

In the angle of the street, and next adjoining the Dekes,
stands the home of the Psi Upsilon chapter. It was completed
in the spring of 1885, in time for occupation during part of
the last term. The construction is of wood, and the archi-
tecture one of the many Queen Ann designs. There are
accommodations, for fourteen in addition to the usual social,
fraternity and culinary rooms. Psi U. was founded at Union
in 1833, and this Chapter was established ten years later.
Among her sons are the Hon. Joseph R. Hawley, '47, of
Washington D. C. ; Charles Dudley Warner, '51, of Hartford ;
Perry H. Smith, '46, of Chicago ; Chauncy S. Truax, '75, and
Ralph W. Thatcher, '59.

Our own Chapter House is situated next, just in the middle
of Sophomore Hill. The architect was Brother Gouge, '70,
and the design is an excellent example of his good taste and
skill. It was built of wood, in another variety of the Queen
Ann, and, like the other modern houses, is a home for the

176 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

Chapter. It was completed in the winter of 1887, and occupied
in January, 1888. There are rooms for fifteen of the boys,,
public and fraternity rooms, and suitable provision for the
epicurean propensities of human nature. Though it is hardly
necessary to mention to the readers of the Quarterly the
prominent members of the third from the oldest of our chap-
ters, we will venture to record the names of Attorney-GeneraL
W. H. H. Miller, '61, of Washington ; the Rev. Dr. Arthur T.
Pierson, '57, of Philadelphia ; Judge L. S. B. Sawyer, '62, of
San Francisco ; Dr. Henry Randall Waite, '68, of New York ;
and Rev. Dr. William H. Maynard, '54, of Colgate University.

Adjoining us is the Theta Delta Chi house. This was the
last house to be built, having been completed in the fall of
1888. Like their three neighbors below them, they chose a
modified Queen Ann style, and built of wood. Tuere are
rooms for sixteen students besides the customary fraternity,,
public and culinary apartments. This Fraternity, founded at
Union in 1847, was the last to enter Hamilton, coming in 1867 ;
but it is not wanting in eminent alumni, among whom may be
mentioned John Cunningham, '66, editor of the Utica Morning
Herald ; the Rev. James H. Ecob, '68, of Albany ; the Rev.
Dr. Rufus S. Green, '67, of Orange, N. J. ; Judge W. C.
McAdam, '77, of Minnesota ; and E. M. Rewey, '73, of the
New York Sun.

After passing these four, there are no other chapter-houses
till the college is reached. Directly opposite the first entrance
to the campus, stands the Chi Psi house. In 1881 this was
remodeled and enlarged from a private dwelling, formerly
owned by Professor Huntington. Though it is of wood and
can accommodate only nine of the chapter, it is amply supplied
with the necessary chapter and public rooms, as well as a
department for the satisfaction of the physical man. This
Fraternity was also founded at Union, in 1841, and came to
Hamilton in 1845. Among the noted alumni of the Chapter
are the Hon. Horatio C. Burchard, '50, ex-Director of the U.
S. Mint ; the Rev. Dr. J. A. Priest, '47, of Cincinnati ; the
Hon. A. E. Pattison, '62, U. S. District Judge of Mo. ; the Hon.
Frank Rice, '68, Secretary of State, N. Y.

Just north of the library, on the college campus, is located

the Alpha Delta Phi Hall. The corner-stone was laid in 1876,
but it was not completed until 1881. The building is of stone,
and is occupied by four of the Chapter ; the balance of the
house being used for social and fraternity purposes. Hamil-
ton was the birthplace of Alpha Delta Phi, and since 1832
many prominent men have taken their degree under her care.
Among them are Samuel Eells, '32, the founder of the Fra-
ternity ; Dr. Edward North, '41, Professor of Greek in the
college ; Isaac H. Hall, '59, of New York ; the Hon. Theodore
W. Dwight, '40, of Columbia College, and the Hon. G..W„
Schofield, '40, of Washington.

The Emersonian Literary Society is a local organization^
established here in 1880. In 1887 they rented a house formerly-
used as a college boarding-house, and fitted it up to accom-
modate thirteen of their number, besides public rooms and a.
culinary department. Of their alumni, the most prominent:
are Prof. Andrew C. White, *8i, of Cornell University ; Chan-
ning M. Huntington, '84, of the Utica Morning Herald ; and.
Edward R. Fitch, '86, assistant professor of Greek in this,
college.

During the years of change, much consternation was felt by
the early, and even by some of the later alumni, lest the loss;
of the dormitory system should be detrimental to the college
as well as to the students. The latter certainly has not been
true, if we are rightly informed in regard to the past ; and
we confidently believe that these homes will serve rather to
bind the alumni more closely to their Alma Mater. The
houses came from the pockets of the alumni, and "Where
their treasure is, there will their hearts be also."

As Hamilton is somewhat noted for her numerous divines,
perhaps we will be pardoned if we close with a little homily
to our sister colleges, — "Go thou and do likewise."

THE NEW YORK DELTA UPSILON CLUB.

As early as 1869, alumni members of the Fraternity residing
in New York city, recognized the good-fellowship which
existed among their number, and attempted the establishment
of an alumni organization. An informal organization resulted,
which died a natural death in a short time. In 1873, another
attempt of a similar nature was made, but this, like the
movement of foui* years before, had no permanent result.

At the seventeenth anniversary of the founding of the New
York chapter, held at Martinelli's, December 19th, 1882, the
movement was started which terminated in the founding of
the present New York Delta Upsilon Club. The convention
•of that year had authorized the establishment of " a graduate
-chapter in New York city," and had designated Eugene D.
Bagen, New York, '76, and Dr. Albert W. Ferris, New York,
'78, as the committee. A temporary organization was effected
at this meeting and a committee appointed to draft a consti-
tution. The next meeting of the new organization was held
at Frobischer's Hall on East 14th street, February 10th, 1883,
when the late Congressman Benjamin A. Willis, Union, *6i,
•delivered an address on " The Principles and Success of the
Non-Secret Society." His address was followed by the adop-
tion of the constitution, and the election of these officers :
President, the Hon. Benjamin A. Willis, Union, '61 ; vice-
president, Frank C. Partridge, Amherst, '82 ; secretary, Albert
W. Ferris, M. D., New York, '78 ; treasurer, Otto M. Eidlitz,
Cornell, *8i. The executive committee elected consisted of
Samuel Bowne Duryea, New York, '66 ; A. Britton Havens,
Jtutgers, '82 ; Josiah A. Hyland, Esq., Hamilton, '75, Starr J.
Murphy, Amherst, '81, and Charles E. Hughes, Brown, '81.

The executive council of the club proceeded to rent rooms
-at 842 Broadway, where, in this modest beginning, it shared
its expenses with those of the New York chapter. Re-unions
and entertainments, several in number, were held during the

l80 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

year, but the club did not receive the generous support which
it deserved, and at the expiration of the lease gave up its
" lodge room."

On December ist, 1887, another, and happily, a more suc-
cessful attempt, was made to put the New York Delta Upsilon
Club on a substantial basis. The present club-house at No. &
East 47th street, had already been leased, and at this meetings
committees for the drafting of a new constitution and for the
incorporation of the club were appointed. In a few weeks
these essentials had been accomplished, and the club, under
its own fig-tree, started on a new era of existence. Its first
officers were : President, the Hon. Samuel B. Duryea, New
Yor^ '66 ; first vice-president, the Hon. Charles D. Baker, Cor-
nell, '74 ; second vice-president, the Hon. Don A. Hulett,.
Union, '58 ; secretary, John Q. Mitchell, Marietta, '8o ; treas-
urer, Frederick M. Crossett, New York, '84.

A vigorous policy marked the new administration. The
club house was at once furnished in excellent style, and new
names were constantly added to the list of members. Not
only newly graduated members of the Fraternity, but the
older and more prominent Delta U's manifested their good
will toward the new organization by making liberal subscript
tions and donations.

To-day, as one enters the club-house, at 8 East 47th street,,
his eyes meet a lamp in the vestibule, which bears the ever-
welcome monogram of Delta Upsiion. To the left of the hall
is the spacious reception and drawing-room, furnished in
modern style and set off by valuable tapestries. On the walls
hang the portraits of the founders of the Fraternity, and those
of Dr. Anson L. Hobart, Williams, '36, the late Hon. William
Bross, Williams, '38, Justice of the Supreme Court, Stephen J_
Field, Williams, '37, the Hon. W. H. H. Miller, Hamilton, '61,
and Secretary Redfield Proctor, Middlebury. Several master-
pieces presented by members of the club, also adorn the walls,
and represent famous artists. A fine Chickering grand piano-
occupies one corner of the room.

Separated from the reception-room by a screen is the club-
caf6. Small tables, well appointed, give the room a home-
like appearance, and meals can be obtained at any time. The

cafe* is neatly furnished, and about the walls hang a number
of valuable etchings secured chiefly through the generosity of
brothers Samuel B. Duryea, Esq., New York, '66 ; Otto M.
Eidlitz, Corntll % '8i ; Dr. Louis A. Coffin, Union, '82, and John
Q. Mitchell, Marietta, ,8o. In the dining-room is a rack with
the daily papers handy for consultation.

In the basement is the comfortable billiard-room, equipped
-with seats for the use of spectators, and its walls hung with
mementoes of the Delta Upsilon Camping Association, and
portraits of the resident members of the club.

On the second floor are located the meeting- room of the
Columbia chapter, the reading-room of the club and the smok-
ing-room. The chapter-room is furnished in the generous
style common to college rooms. The reading-room contains
all the current periodicals, college papers and annuals, and
the club library, which, at the present time, consists chiefly of
books and pamphlets written by members of the Fraternity,
and contributed by the authors.

The upper floors are occupied by resident members of
the club, nine chapters being represented.

But two years and a half in existence, the club has made
unexpected progress. To four men is its success in large
measure due, Samuel B. Duryea, Otto M. Eidlitz, Eugene
D. Bagen and Frederick M. Crossett. Its membership—
which is both resident and non-resident — embraces the names
of men prominent, not only in the Fraternity, but in the world
at large. Some of them are, Justice Field of the Supreme
Court of the United States, the Hon. Redfield Proctor and
William KK H. Miller, of President Harrison's cabinet, the
Hon. Charles D. Baker, the Hon. David A. Wells, ex-Gov.
Austin Blair, Daniel S. Lamont, Rossiter Johnson, the Hon.
Hans S. Beattie, the Hon. Sereno E. Payne, Prof. Herman L.
Fairchild, and the Rev. William H. P. Faunce.

The present officers of the club are : President, Otto M.
Eidlitz, Cornell,, *8i ; first vice-president, William M. Hoff,
New York, 73 ; second vice-president, Leonard D. White, Jr.,
Columbia, '87 ; secretary, Augustus R. Timmerman, Williams,
'88 ; treasurer, Samuel S. Hall, Harvard, '88. The trustees
are : The Hon. Charles D. Baker, Cornell, '74 ; A. Britton

nell, '85 ; the Hon. Hans S. Beattie, New York, '73 ; Samuel S.

Upon every alumnus resident in or near New York city, let
it be urged to join the New York Delta Upsilon Club, and
thereby contribute, not only to its sustenance, but to the wel-
fare of the Fraternity as well. The club membership is
encouraging, but is not. as large as it should be in the metrop-
olis of the country.

The recently graduated alumnus who comes to New York
for purposes of study or business, will find in the club-house
superior accommodations and that blessing of blessing — good
fellowship. Moreover, living expenses at the club have been
reduced to a minimum, and considering the location and
benefits offered, it is to be doubted whether one can secure
more advantageous quarters in New York city.

Among the entertainments offered by the club during the
year are receptions, "smokers," the annual banquet of the
New York alumni, and numerous informal affairs. The last
mentioned are perhaps the most delightful, since they combine
the intellectual with the social. A paper or an address by
some prominent alumnus or eminent specialist constitutes the
first part of the meeting, which is followed by the ubiquitous
" spread " and general merriment. These affairs are held
monthly and members of the Fraternity are at all times wel-
come. •

To make the club the headquarters of Fraternity work, to
afford a meeting-place for all Delta U's, to promote the wel-
fare of and good-fellowship in the Fraternity — are among the
prominent objects of the New York Delta Upsilon Club.

THE FIRST FRATERNITY MAGAZINE.

The Theta Delta Chi Shield in an editorial last summer said :
" Our brotherhood was the first to publish a magazine or
journal devoted to its interest, ot the Greek Letter fraternities ;
the first to adopt emblematic colors." In our August, 1889, issue
we questioned the accuracy of these statements, and asked for
particulars. The October Shield answered : "In 1869 Colonel
William Stone, the historian, a member of Theta Delta Chi
from Brown University, in 1857, together with one or two
other members of the fraternity in New York city, joined in
the publication of a journal designated as The Shield, and
4 devoted to the interests of Theta Delta Chi,' as the title page
declares, and not to the interests of all the fraternities as Mr.
Baird states in his book on American College Fraternities."

The April 1890 Shield follows this up with : "The conven-
tion of 1868 directed the publication of a fraternity periodical
to be known as the Shield, to be edited and published by the
Grand Lodge. The subscription price was $1.00 per year, and
no advertisements were inserted. The first number, which
appeared in July, 1869, was devoted entirely to fraternity
topics. * * * The first page of this historic Shield is repro-
duced in this number of the Shield as perfectly as possible.
The yellowness of age and the poor quality of paper prevent
a perfect representation. Such as it is, however, it establishes
the fact of our priority as regards the issuance of a fraternity
publication, and also our clear right and title to the use our
name, the Shield. Our friends of Phi Kappa Psi should note
this fact, and would be entirely excusable if they should cour-
teously change the name of their journal. Such a procedure
would save some confusion. As sufficient subscriptions were
not received to justify the continuance of the Shield, it was
merged into the College Review, and published for two years
by Bros. P. C. Gilbert "and Wm. L. Stone, beginning Septem-
ber 1, 1869, and ending July, 187 1."

Though the size, table of contents, number of pages, etc.,
are not given, the reproduction of the title page definitely

places the magazine. So much for Theta Delta Chi, now for
Delta Upsilon. We have in our possession a forty page pam-
phlet, bound in a cover of gold and blue, six by nine inches in
size, whose title page reads : " Vol. I, October and April,.
1867-68, Nos. 1 and 2. Our Record. Published by the Delta
Upsilon Fraternity. Editors : Henry Randall Waite, Hamil-
ton Chapter ; Nelson B. Sizer, New York Chapter, New York ;
Baker & Goodwin, Printers, Printing House Square. 1868.""
It contains an oration delivered before the Thirty-Second
Annual Convention of the Fraternity, in Corinthian Hall
Rochester, N. Y., by the Rev. William J. Erdman, Hamilton*
'56; a poem, " The Isle Up the River of Time," by William
G. Walker, Madison, '65 ; " Anti-Secrecy In and Out of Col-
lege," by Hamilton; a history of the foundation of the
" Middlebury Chapter ;" the " Minutes of the Thirty-Second
Annual Convention of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity ; " Editors"
Table," and " Fraternity News." Although this paper appeared
twenty-two years ago, it was a distinctly fraternity magazine,,
and will compare favorably with many that are now pub-
lished. Volume II., numbers 1 and 2 of Our Record, consisted
of 60 pages. Henry Randall Waite, Hamilton, '68, was editor,,
and the associate editors were : Hamilton, E. R. Payson p
Rochester, F. A. Marsh ; Middlebury, E. H. Bottum ; Washing-
ton, J. G. Thompson, Jr.; New York, N. B. Sizer ; Western Re-
serve, H. R. Parmalee ; Madison, J. W. Ford ; Miami, C. W.
Earnest ; Brown, W r . T. Peck. It contained " Balance Wheels,^
by the Rev. Samuel J. Rogers, Rutgers, '59, a poem, "Our
Morning Star," Minutes of the 34th Annual Convention of the
Fraternity, History of the " Brown Chapter," " Western Re-
serve Chapter," "Miami Chapter," "Law of Association as
Applied to Young Men in College," a poem " Dites Moi,"
"National Christian Association opposed to Secret Societies;"
" Editor's Table," " Personalia," " Our Book Table," " Art No-
tices," and four pages of advertisements. After the issue of
the second number the Record was discontinued, and revived
later as the University Review.

In order that the comparison between the Shield and Our
Record 'can be made more easily, we have had reproduced the
title page of the Shield and four pages of Our Record — the

THE FIRST FRATERNITY MAGAZINE. 187-

latter being reduced to one-fourth of original size. From
these plates it is conclusively shown that Delta Upsilon's
Our Record was more than a year in advance of the Shield.

As to the colors, the Shield says : "In 1870 a fraternity flag"
was floated over the Astor House. The flag had a blue
ground containing the letters S. J. X. in black, bordered with
white. These were and are stillthe fraternity colors, and this
is the first instance on record of a diplay of colors by any fra-
ternity." The Delta Upsilon convention of 1866 was held with
the Rochester chapter. The minutes contain these words : " A
committee on fraternity colors reported chrome and blue-
Adopted. In addition to this, an advertisment in " Our
Record" in 1868, reads : " Fraternity Catalogues, 35 cents ;.
Fraternity Colors, 35 cents ; Fraternity Music, 40 cents ; and
back numbers of Our Record, 25 cents." Thus it will be seen
that Delta Upsilon adopted and displayed colors four years
before Theta Delta'Chi, and published a magazine a year and
a half in advance of the Shield.

Our friends of Theta Delta Chi should note these facts and
" would be entirely excusable if they should courteously "
cease to claim the honor of having been the first to publish a
fraternity magazine or the first " to adopt emblematic colors.""

A CITY SHRINE.

(From New York Times of April 30.)

I saw a sparrow on the window rest,
1 caught a simple rose in blossom there.

O nerveless echo from the muffled past

How canst thou with the living voice compare ?

Ye costly shrines, in stone and splendor clad,
That stir not, though the stately music roll,

For me the pulsing life, the sun, the sky,
The blessed influence of soul on soul.

Must bird and rose and sunbeam be without,
While gloom and dust and marble fill the shrine ?

Let those who will all humbly bow within,
O larger, sweeter Father's house, be mine.

Abram S. Isaacs, New York, '71.,

AMONG THE EXCHANGES.

•

It is a little odd how the quality of our exchanges varies
with their locality and the fraternities' sectionalism. We are
led to this reflection by chancing to get together the organs of
two Southern fraternities, the Kappa Alpha Journal, and the
Kappa Sigma Quarterly. There is a distinct spirit discernible
in these magazines that is hard to characterize. There is not
in them that " hustling " tendency so noticeable in Western
fraternity organs, nor yet the serious and sober solidity that
marks the pages of magazines in the East. Ambitious they
surely are, and full of a certain vigor that promises much for
the future. In a sense they typify in excellent fashion the
awakening of the South to its' wide opportunities. There is
oftentimes a deferring of the esthetic to the practical, there is
a certain rawness about the finished product that suggests
crude methods. But with alt their faults they have a peculiar,
because sectional, interest for an exchange editor.

More pretentious of the two in appearance and make-up is
Kappa Alpha's magazine. The March number is not notably
strong, but an article discussing the propriety of the establish-
ment of chapters in institutions where secret fraternities are
forbidden, has an interest. Incidentally the question is raised
whether a chapter should be allowed to initiate students from
other colleges. On both these subjects the writer has decided
opinions, and those unfavorable to the action considered.
Here are some objections urged against initiation of the kind
mentioned :

" That any one chapter may embarrass the whole fraternity by initiating
-students from some other institution (as in the case of Tau), and promis-
ing them that the order will grant them a charter. Or, if they are not

•

really promised a charter, they may consider that the conduct of those
who have unfolded to them the mysteries of the organization, has been
such as to entitle them to confidently expect a charter. Or, if not this,
.after an existence of six months, or a year, or two or three years, as mem-
bers of the mother chapter, they may consider themselves, from their
loyalty and devotion, if nothing more, as entitled to the dignity of forming
a separate and independent chapter ; and if the privilege is denied them,
trouble is necessarily brewed. Not only this, but even if no charter is
^expected by the newly-initiated students, and they are content to remain

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. 189*

members of the chapter which initiated them, a chapter at one institution
can not properly oversee and care for its members at another. * * *
Again, these brothers at a distance, being full members of the organization,,
either have, or assume to have, the authority to initiate other candidates,
and in nine cases out of ten they will do so ; and thus, while they may
initiate none but spirits thoroughly gentlemanly, and congenial to them-
selves, there is no assurance that the new initiates will be either congenial
or acceptable to the mother chapter, and thus will the most important
feature of fraternity life be nullified."

The editorials in this number cover a wide range, from
facetious comment on " la grippe," to the broad topics of fra-
ternity policy.

The Kappa Sigma Quarterly opens with a " cute " little-
poem entitled " An Anatomist's Ode to His Mistress." Here
are three good stanzas :

I list, as thy heart and ascending aorta

Their volumes of valvular harmony pour ;

And my soul from that muscular music hath caught a

New life 'mid its dry, anatomical lore.

O ! rare is the sound when thy ventricles throb
In a systolic symphony, measured and slow,
While the auricles answer with rythmical sob,
As they murmur a melody wondrously low.

O thy cornea, love, has the radiant light
Of the sparkle that laughs in the icicle's sheen ;
And thy crystalline lens, like a diamond bright,
Thro' the quivering frame of thine iris is seen !

The drama, " Little Ado About Something," lacks point to-
the ordinary reader. More than half the space of this number
is given up to chapter letters, many of which sadly need the
pruning knife.

* *
The April number of the Shield of Theta Delta Chi, comes to

us in portly body that suggests prosperity. It is pleasant to see
that the magazine's quality also is improving. As a frontis-
piece there is a portrait of one of the six fraternity founders,
and two other honored alumni are also pictured. The bio-
graphical sketch of Mr. French is poorly written. A writer

X90 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

on " Pan-Hellenism " sets the seal of his disapproval upon the
Palm's far-reaching project, and the article is sufficiently posi-
tive to be taken for an official utterance. An interesting matter
to all Greeks is the attempt to substantiate Theta Delta Chi's
claim that she published the first fraternity periodical. To
silence the doubting Thomases, the first page of the first
number (issued in July, 1869) is photographically displayed.
It was a four column publication, but the writer does not
state its exact size, or the number of pages. This sample page,
with four of Delta Upsilon's Our Record of 1867-68, we have
had reproduced, and will be found elsewhere in this issue.
From these plates it will be clearly seen that Delta Upsilon is
entitled to the honor of having published the first fraternity
magazine. The department of " Our Graduates " has a grow-
ing value, but we fancy all would be better satisfied if the
men were classified by colleges. Thirteen pages are given up
to editorials, and much of this space is wasted on mere business
announcements, notes about various features of the issue, etc.
If these matters are to be made very prominent in any maga-
zine, why not make a department for them ? The exchange
columns also are marred by "reading notices" of articles
advertised, and it strikes one rather queerly to read, after a
learned critique of an exchange, sentences like these :

Brandreth's Pills and Allcock's Porous Plasters only need Theta Delta
Chi stamped upon them to make them perfect. Don't forget Bro. Ralph
Brandreth when you have a lame back or a pain in your stomach. ijfriH

High class newspapers some time ago discarded such obtru-
sive "ads." and why should the Shield adopt the obnoxious
habit ? The exchange department is well handled in this
issue, although the comments are very general. A large
batch of fraternity news, much of which is stale, and some
bright chapter letters, close the highly creditable number.

A trio of the Shields of Phi Kappa Psi come up smiling for
notice. An interesting document in the February number is
the annual report of the fraternity. The writer touches on
several vital fraternity topics, notably fraternity life in cities
and alumni associations. He does not indorse the present
system of requiring a unaminous vote of chapters to admit a

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. 191

siew chapter. This is Delta U's. method, and there is much to
say in its favor as a centralizing force. In the March number
another writer discusses this matter at length. He seems to
lay too much stress on the fact that one chapter may thwart
the wiHof the great majority. But granting that it may, how
ivill any self-respecting chapter representative wilfully make
"void the judgment of his fellows on important matters ? A
fraternity convention is supposed to be made up of men of
reason, consulting about large interests, and any disposition
to block the wheels selfishly will have its inevitable punish-
ment. We cannot think the writer's suggestion that the exe-
cutive council have power to grant charters, is in the line of
best development. The feature of the April number is the
report of the Grand Arch Council at Chicago. To make a
.guess, from a casual reading, the advocates of an easier method
•of extension won a victory. But in practice the council showed

itself conservative, rejecting two out of three applications.

The editor of Delta Tau Delta's Rainbow nods a little
in his January issue, noteworthy points being few. This
editorial extract, apropos of the new Deke chapter at Minne-
sota, has its value :

" Some older fraternities as Delta Kappa Epsilon and Psi Upsilon, on
awakening from their long lethargy of imagined conservatism and self-
satisfaction, seem to have found themselves morally dazed by the pro-
gress of certain other fraternities and certain institutions in the crude
West. Not many years ago, overtures were made by representatives of
Psi Upsilon to one of our prominent chapters in a large western univer-
sity, and to the shame of Psi Upsilon and the honor of that chapter, the
proposition was not for a moment entertained. If fraternity honor or
morality means anything, it means that a general fraternity is as much
T>ound by it in founding new chapters, as the chapter is in seeking new
men, or the men themselves in dealing with other men. It means that
there is temptation in extension policy for the general fraternity, as well
as in wine, gambling, etc., for the individual member."

It might well be added that an unreasonable, indiscriminate
extension policy is inevitably a source of fraternity disease.
An article somewhat out of the usual is that on chapter gene-
alogy, tracing out mother chapters and grandmother chapters
in most approved style. It is to be noticed in passing, that

many of the younger chapters have been established by-
individuals rather than by the fraternity as a whole. Here is
something from the Symposium that we can heartily indorse :

"If the Greek world could be brought to look with disfavor upon com-
binations, the abominable practice would soon be discontinued by Greek
and barbarian alike. In some colleges there is a growing sentiment
against combinations and all manner of political intrigues. Some chap-
ters of Delta Tau Delta are known in their own colleges to discounte-
nance combinations. Shall not this reputation extend to the entire fra-
ternity? Let Delta Tau Delta be known in the college world as a
fraternity which does not enter combinations, and she will have done her

part toward the attainment of the ideal in college politics."

The April Rainbow offers some good things in its symposi-
um on " Fraternity and Morality." One writer has this word
to say :

" Perhaps it might well be said that a false idea of fraternity life has in
many cases been destructive of fraternity morality. " Mutual fun " has-
been the complete motto of many a chapter, and the chapter that does-
not cultivate hearty, hale fellowship does not enjoy a full-orbed existence.
A good time is a part, but it is only a part of the fratertiity idea. Some
men seem to think that sturdy morality is incompatible with true frater-
nity. And so when they speak of a chapter of men, who are strict and
conscientious, scorn curls the lip and it is said slightingly — " A. Y. M. C.
A/ Strange to say, too, many seem to think that, when the men com-
posing a chapter are striving to fulfil the purpose for which they came to-
college, they fail to reach up to the fraternity idea, and so it is whispered
— ' A literary society.' It seems to be the general tax that is laid upon
every Greek Letter Society that it must endure the presence of chapters^
whose standard demands only the possession of certain merry social
qualities. Wherever such a body of men have in their unholy grasp a
charter, the only way to save the repute of the fraternity is to apply the

pruner."

The Kappa Alpha Theta, to our mind, runs a little too much
to general essays. Where so little space can be given" to all
subjects, we hold that a narrowing of one's field to fraternity
topics is not merely necessary, but just and right. We pre-
sume that our contemporary finds the same old difficulty of
getting fraternity articles, and has to fall back on other matter

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. I93

to "fill up." A little sermon, brightly preached, is this which
is found under the exchange gossip :

" Has it ever occurred to Theta girls that one who has been asked to
join them and who has refused — for such a thing may sometimes happen
— is not materially changed, and that she is deserving of attention and of
thoughtfulness even after such an event. It is an utter impossibility to
gather all the nice girls in college into one fraternity, and by shutting
herself t up in her own chapter a girl may miss some of the dearest friend-
ships of school life. We go to college to broaden ourselves, not only
mentally, but also socially and most important of all to broaden our
charity. But how is this latter to be accomplished effectually if one knows
only those of her own set. The truest charity will have a pleasant greet-
ing and a kindly smile for all ; and let me whisper to you, girls, nothing
will aid your chapter more than the fact that it can be said of your mem-
bers, ' They are not afraid to speak to other folks."

The Beta Thela ./Yean generally be counted upon to furnish
interesting matter even in the dull days of fraternity journal-
ism. So when three numbers pile up on our table, we can
really expect something. The February issue opens with a
reminiscent article treating of an early song-book. The latest
"absorption," the Sigma Delta Pi local (society) at Dartmouth,
gets its due in an historical way. Less space is given to the
chapter than to the initiation of five old members of Sigma
Delta Pi in an Ohio town. Under the caption of " Some
Facts for a Contemporary," the editor finds the Rainbow
guilty of misstatement, due presumably to ignorance of fra-
ternity history. No comments are needed save that if any
magazine tried to correct all the mistakes of its contempor-
aries, it would have its hands full. As long as fraternity jour-
nals are so largely edited by inexperienced men, there is little
hope for the better. A young alumnus tells how five men
started a chapter-house building association, and the bright
idea deserves chronicling :

" It was voted to subscribe for five shares of building association stock,
at a par value of two hundred dollars each, to be held in trust until ma-
turity, and then be transferred to the chapter to assist in building a chap-
ter-house ; each member to pay his share of the dues. It was estimated
that the stock would mature in about ten years, with a payment of one
dollar per month per share, or twelve dollars a year for each member,

194 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

the stock at maturity being worth one thousand dollars. Thus, by an
investment of about six hundred dollars, made in easy payments of one
dollar per month, a sum sufficient to make at least a substantial begin-
ning for a chapter-house fund could be raised. * * * * The tax
upon each member is slight, being only about three and one-third cents
a day ; and who is there among any chapter's alumni who cannot afford
to give that small amount to show his love for his chapter, and assist it
in obtaining what would be of so great an advantage ?'*

The chapter letters are as usual in this magazine bright and
high-toned.

The March number contains little that calls for special-
remark. Perhaps the best thing in possibility of suggestion
is to be found in the California chapter's letter. Speaking of
revising by-laws the writer says :

Article IV, section 6, treating of the duties of officers, says : " It
shall be the duty of the librarian : (i) To keep under lock and key the
ritual and other secret matters of the fraternity. (2) To keep a file of
all fraternity publications. (3) To keep a file of all chapter publications.
(4) To keep a file of all the university publications. (5) To keep a file
of all the exhibits referred to in the minutes. (6) To keep a file of all
manuscripts read before the chapter. (7) To keep in a suitable scrap-
book all programmes, newspaper items, and other scraps concerning the
university, the fraternity, the chapter, and its members. (8) To keep
such other memorabilia as may seem best to himself and to the* president.
(9) To secure for the chapter-album the pictures of all members of
Omega. (10) To have bound from time to time, with the consent of the
chapter, such publications as may seem best. (11) To keep all other
documents, books, and archives belonging to the chapter. (12) To take
charge of the loan library of the chapter and to secure donations there-
for. (13) To keep in a suitable book a complete index of the files, docu-
ments, books, and archives above referred to.

It will be seen that the officer who performs these many duties, will
occupy a position of no little responsibility in the chapter. Upon him
will depend, in a great measure, the success of all the other officers' work.
Not only does he relieve the corresponding secretary and his assistant of
many duties which have hitherto fallen to them, but, in addition, he will
perform duties which are entirely new, — such, for example, as procuring
the pictures of alumni, and the care of the loan library. The scrap-book
has always been kept with more or less faithfulness since the chapter has
been in existence. In fact, the idea of creating this new office was first
suggested «t a recent meeting, when the question of the scrap-book cus-
todian was being discussed. We were surprised at finding what a large

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. 195

number of duties existed, but which at that time were considered " every-
body's business," and, consequently, were not performed. The result of
our discussion was the appointment of a committee to draft a new set of
by-laws, in which the office of librarian should be created.

We fancy that some Delta U. chapters have need of the

same ubiquitous kind of officer.

" Betas in the National House of Representatives," is the

most prominent sketch in the April number, but confines itself

to brief personal mention of the ten men. Exchanges, which

in February had a department of their own, now take the last

place under u Fraternity News and Notes." We trust this

does not forebode the extinction of this pleasant feature. The

Knox correspondent has a good deal to say about Phi Delts,

especially in a local way, and some of it may return to trouble

him. Scandals alleged or real are not the things to air in

chapter letters.

* *
One does not need to have the words " The Pan-Hellenic

Magazine," printed on the cover of the Palm to know what our

contemporary's hobby is. You can find a Pan-Hellenic spirit

running all through the magazine. It is a helpful hobby, we

are bound to add, and we could wish some of our sickly and

dyspeptic exchanges could get something of the verve so

noticeable in Alpha Tau Omega's organ. Symposiums seem

to be the fashion these days, and the Palm follows it, taking

as a topic, " What Is Fraternity ?" Here is one answer :

" Any organization which has for its aims the advancement and pro-
tection of the individual member, inculcation of morality, truthfulness, and
a high standard of friendship, comes under the banner of fraternity.
Wherever men come together there are affinities. Recognizing this
fact, students of colleges and universities sought a means which would
more thoroughly perpetuate the friendships formed during their course,
by banding themselves together under a common name, and a constitu-
tion stating the objects and aims.

The Greek Fraternities of American institutions were brought into
existence in this manner. The true purpose of any fraternity should be
advancement all along the line of human progress ; then it will have
materialized the hopes of its founders."

The winning orations in the Indiana and Ohio State oratori-
cal contests, get places in the Pan-Hellenic department, while

exchange gossip and Greek news items all have a leaning in
the same direction. The purely Alpha Tau Omega matter is
largely confined to the chapter and alumni letters, not forget-
ting a portrait and life-sketch of the Worthy Grand Chief.

First and foremost in the March Key is the second instal-
ment of a discussion of the possibilities of fraternity journal-
ism. The problem considered is the nature of the contents, and
this is the way the writer illustrates her view of the matter :

" A simple illustration, perhaps, will show this matter in its true pro-
portions. Suppose that I draw four circles, using in their construction
the same centre but different radii. Against the smallest circle I will
write the name of my own fraternity ; against the second, which is larger
but somewhat fainter than the first, " Fraternities ; " against the third,
larger and fainter still, " College ; " and against the fourth and faintest,
which includes all the others, " Fraternity," using this term in its broadest
sense. Such a diagram illustrates roughly my idea of the general relation
of these subjects, and their order of treatment, as regards importance, in
a Greek-letter journal.

First of all comes the smallest circle, my own fraternity. The fratern-
ity magazine is above all else the organ of that fraternity. Its chief object
is to give to each member of the organization an accurate idea of its
character, policy and workings in general. But in order to accomplish
this, the magazine must offer something more than chapter letters,
official notices and catalogue reports, necessary as these may be. The
character of a fraternity should be represented in its journal, and that is
made possible only when the individual members supplement the views
of the editor by their own views and suggestions. Only when the con-
tributors will consent to write informally of themselves, their work and
tastes and ambitions, will the magazine become in any degree a repre-
sentative journal."

The second subject, that of fraternities in general, though subordinate
to, should not be overshadowed by the first. Contact and comparison
with similar organizations is always essential to the growth and prosperity
of a fraternity. For many Greeks, one or two fraternity journals furnish
the only accessible information in regard to the history and methods of
other fraternities ; and according as this information is liberal or scanty,
will their views be broad or bigoted. Nor is it necessary to devote many
pages to " Fraternity Items." Many articles upon fraternity policy require
frequent reference to the attitude of other fraternities in the same matter ;
many more might be enriched by illustrations drawn from other fraterni-
ties than the one in question/'

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. I97

We shall look for more breezy talk from Miss Dodge's
pen.

The Parthenon offers several suggestive talks and in one
on chapter homes is this picture :

" A permanent place of meeting is itself almost an essential to chapter
progress. For all Kappas to know that there is a certain place in which
Kappa pleasures are to be found at a particular time in each week, cannot
but benefit the attendance and interest of chapter meetings. Regularity
and permanency as to the place of meeting would seem to make easier
and less forced all other regulations as to punctuality, order, etc. And
these are conditions conducive to more perfect organization, and more
earnest chapter work.

Pleasant associations soon gather about the fraternity room ; here we
have renewed and fulfilled our pledges of friendship ; here, perhaps, we
first tasted of Kappahood ; here we have sung fraternity songs and par-
ticipated in all sorts of jollity, There is much to attract the new and old
members, and unite all in the common heritage. There is an irresistible
charm about the place — a charm which must sweeten and strengthen
Kappa bonds."

This contemporary dabbles little in fraternity news, and
that is not very well selected. The chapter letters are well-
balanced and entertaining. Some good editorials and exchange
gossip close the number.

A good fashion it is to publish portraits and biographies
of distinguished alumni, and it is the Phi Gamma Delta Quar-
terly s pleasure to follow it by presenting Prof. J. C. Ridpath.
This is peculiarly timely in view of a rival's insinuation that
Mr. Ridpath, with Gen. " Lew " Wallace and Edward Eggles-
ton, are honorary members. In fact an indignant alumnus
writes a communication dealing with this very matter. It
does one good to see the opposition to honorary membership
growing thus among fraternities. Among the active members
of Delta U., we know the sentiment is general that the admis-
sion- of such members on our part was an error of youth, and
none have been created in the last nine years.

" Once Upon a Time," a talk upon life by an old graduate,
is full of interest, and we are sorry that we cannot quote more
than this :

I98 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

" Life is a tale in three volumes : ' Once upon a Time ' is the first in
historical order, but the last to be written ; ' Being about to Be,' is the
last in order, but the first to be sketched out ; ' Now ' is a thin second
volume between the other two, at which we are always pen in hand, but
write none of it down save in memoranda, tables of contents, heads of
chapters. If youth writes anything, it is about that 'futurum ' on the
other side of the divide. When it has left college, when it has made a
fortune, when it has gained proud eminence, when it has builded its
palace and brought home its bride, then — ah, then ! But for those who
are nearing the ' divide,' there is the fond, lingering look behind. Life
seems more in the sunshine in the plains and valleys they have left as
they toiled onward. They begin to dip their pen in memory and write
the first book, the volume whose title is ' Once upon a Time.' Memory
is your true, first-class fountain pen, that runs out the lines without
refilling. See to it that it does not soil the fingers that use it by careless
filling in the first place!"

The editor is doing yeoman service in writing up the
alumni, and two articles in this number hold well to the
golden mean that lies between the ponderousness of biograph-
ical details and the levity of undignified remarks. A vigorous
talk, " To the Disappointed Idealist," pictures a class of fratern-
ity men with whom we are all acquainted. This may be good
physic for some Delta U. idealists :

" He who would form a true conception of what fraternal organizations
should be, must look with two eyes, holding one upon man as he is,
whilst the other is fixed upon man as he should be. It is the man that
looks with both eyes upon man as he ought to be that I pronounce my-
self against. A working idea, I insist upon ; and when an idea is to be
a harness into which a man is expected to step and work, I hold that he
makes a serious mistake who measures a being more angel than man,
more divine than human, and therefrom makes a pattern. The loftiest
realizations must satirize the purely ideal. Only the immortals in the
long list of artists have succeeded in preventing the act making the
thought ludicrous.

The pure idealists, and there are not a few of them, are the disappointed
in fraternity life, as, indeed, where are they not? It is not what they
expected ; not a constant march into profound mysteries ; not an enchanted
life by any means. If one of the disappointed is doing me the honor to
glance over these pages, let us ask, after due reflection, how does your
expectation of fraternity accord with what you know to be bed-rock
human nature ? A little extravagant ! Well, I thought as much. The

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. 1 99

truth is, you would have been satisfied with a sentimental varnish, whereas
the way of the practical fraternity is to polish by sharp contact with men
as good as, if not better than yourself. "

The editorials run the full scale of fraternity topics. One
touches on a need of Phi Gamma Delta that is likewise a need
of Delta U. — a carefully written, and broad-spirited history of
the fraternity. Twenty-five pages of chapter letters have their
varying stories to tell, mainly of encouragement, for these are
halcyon days with the " Fijis." Why should they not be, when
the fraternity has such an admirable organ of opinion and
fact?

* *
The neat cover of the Sigma Chi Quarterly for February

envelopes a number of good things. The writer of "Sigma
Chi in the Colleges," however, fails to do justice to denomi-
national schools, when he says of them that,

" They were founded to shade and color knowledge. They were to
abridge the right of private judgment. They were to propagate special
opinions. They were to mould religious opinion on the lines of catechisms
and confessions ; to bias and cause to be favorably received ancestral
thought ; hence to destroy freedom of inquiry, and consequently predes-
tinate the religious opinions of their students.

We venture to say that nine-tenths of the so called denomi-
national colleges were founded with the purest and most
unselfish motives, designed especially, of course, to give edu-
cational advantages to those of their respective religious
beliefs. This is true, certainly, of the many strong denomina-
tional colleges in New England, and special religious instruc-
tion therein is now a genuine rarity. Still we recognize the
truth of the argument, that in the West at least, the State uni-
versities have the largest future. Almost as an appendix to
this article, is one on the number of American colleges. Like
all wise men, the writer regards the large number as a matter
of regret. Sixteen pages seem a good deal to give a sym-
posium on "The Proper Study of the Law," but perhaps this
foreshadows a long series of articles on the professions.
With that understanding we will pass on. Editorial promise
is given of the early publication of the desired alumni cata-
logue. The long-suffering editors have our hearty congratu-
lations in advance.

Boston University is probably the only institution in the
country where the number of sororities exceed that of frater-
nities. There are four of the former, Alpha Phi, Kappa
Kappa Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, and Delta Delta Delta, and
three of the latter, Beta Theta Pi, Theta Delta Chi, and Delta
Tau Delta.

The Union correspondent of the Beta Theta Pi, writes :
" Psi Upsilon, by her avariciousness and desire for a monopoly
of officers, has been ' set upon ' so heavily by the other fratern-
ities that she has been compelled to combine with Delta Upsi-
lon, a combination which I think is unique in the history of
Psi Upsilon."

The Kappa Alpha Journal says that : " Phi Delta Phi, the
non-secret law class fraternity, is to establish a chapter shortly
at the University of Virginia. The charter members are
eleven in number, and with one or two exceptions are of a very
inferior character. The better class of students in the law
department have refused to connect themselves with the
organization."

In July, one more name was added to the roll of Kappa
chapter. May Booth, who was spending her vacation from
Smith College, Massachusetts, at her home in Iowa City, was,
with awful rites, converted into a true and lawful Pi Beta Phi.

tice with Pi Beta Phi, or is the new initiate to become mother
of a Smith chapter?

The Executive Council of Psi Upsilon is composed of five
alunuii, who are elected annually. The present members are :
H. L. Bridgmwa, Amherst, '66 ; B. H. Bayliss, New York, '65 ;
F. S. Bangs, Columbia, "78; H. G. Johnson, Cornell, '73, and
\V. M. Kingsley, New York, '83. As the Cornell chapter oi
Psi U. was not established until 1876, Mr. Johnson is evidently
an honorary member.

The Phi Gamma Delta Quarterly says that Beta Theta Pi is
endeavoring to absorb Zeta Phi, a society of only local influ-
ence at the University of Missouri. The fraternity formerly
had three chapters, situated at William Jewell College, Wash-
ington University, and the University of Missouri, where it
was founded in 1870. All except the last are defunct, or have
been absorbed by other orders.

The University of Virginia correspondent of the Phi Kappa
Psi Shield, says : " The Eli Bananas, an organization com-
posed of the leading and picked men of the college, had their
spring initiation last week, four new men being taken in. To
be an Eli is the highest honor attainable at the University, as
the flowers of the fraternities are selected, and the requisites
are of a very high standard. Brother Greenway was one of
the favored few, and he may be now seen walking around col-
lege with the blue ribbon on his left breast."

The American Newspaper Directory for 1890 gives the cir-
culation of the Greek letter magazines as follows : " Alpha
Phi Quarterly, 250 ; The Beta Theta Pi, 1000 ; Chi Phi Quar-
terly, 750 ; Chi Psi Purple and Gold, 750 ; Delta Gamma Anchora,

The fraternities here, with a single exception, are composed
of good men, and are in good condition. We are on pleasant
terms with our rivals, especially Delta Upsilon and Chi Psi.
Our relations with the former could hardly be more pleasant.

We are gratified to note the long step forward which they
have made this college year. Chi Psi has been unfortunate
this year. In '89, five of their men graduated, and this fall a
Junior and Senior failed to return. Only one of the four
Freshmen solicited by them was secured. In addition they
began the winter term with the fresh loss of a Senior and
Sophomore. — Univ. of Wisconsin letter ; Phi Delta Theta Scroll.

Psi Upsilon has a new song book in preparation. The
Wesleyan (Xi) chapter, chairman of the committee, reported
at the convention, last May : " Early in October the Executive
Council notified the Xi that it had been charged with the
preparation of the song book, and immediately thereafter
selected Brother Karl P. Harrington, '82, editor in-chief.
After this election, a chapter letter, and later on a printed circu-
lar, were sent by the Xi to the other chapters urging the
appointment of the associate editors. We regret to state,
however, that as yet only seven chapters have sent in the
names. This delay on the part of the chapters has retarded
the work to a great extent."

The New York Tribune is responsible for this fairy tale :
" It is related that when Mr. Calvin S. Brice went to college
he often found it hard work to pay his necessary expenses.
The D. K. E. fraternity was the swell one ot the college. A
number of the boys saw that Brice was a brainy fellow, and
his name was proposed. The rule of the society was that one
black ball would prevent the election of a. candidate, and
Brice's name was twice black-balled. The members of the
fraternity demanded who had cast the opposing vote, and
they found that it was a young aristocrat named Fisk, of Cov-
ington, who said he didn't want Brice in the fraternity because
he was a poor fellow, and had not what he considered a high
enough social standing. The remaining members of the fra-
ternity were so desirous of admitting Brice that they informed
Fisk that the question had resolved itself into one of himself
or Brice, and that if he again voted against Brice he would be
expelled from the fraternity. The result was that Brice
became a member of the D. K. E., and that Mr. Fisk voted
for him."

THE NEW QUINQUENNIAL CATALOGUE,

To the Editor of the Quarterly :

Now that work on the Quinquennial is moving well all along
the line, I deem it opportune to acquaint your readers, which
means the Fraternity, with some particulars of my plans and
purposes with regard to the volume.

At the outset, let me say that the limits of my work have
been definitely set by the Convention, and restrict me to mak-
ing the publication largely biographical in its contents. I
am not yet disposed to call this a mistake, for there are sev-
eral reasons why it would be inadvisible if not impossible to
cover in detail the history and bibliography of the Fraternity.
The lateness in beginning work, due to an unfortunate
omission pf the '$& Convention, and the fact that Brother
"Chase, in his '84 Quinquennial y devoted a large amount of space
to historical and bibliographical matter, alike tend to confirm
an early impression that true wisdom dictates closest atten-
tion to the collection of correct data as to individuals rather
than chapters or Fraternity as a whole. In doing this we
shall simply be returning to the ordinary lines of fraternity
cataloguing, not one of the recent catalogues of other frater-
nities, I believe, having gone into early history with an elab-
orateness comparable with our existing volume.

As was indicated in the descriptive circular sent out to
members, the " plan of campaign " was somewhat changed
from that of five years ago, and much of the responsibility
for dates, places, and other details, has been thrown directly
on the alumni themselves. Thus far, the plan has worked
admirably, and has justified the hopes of Brother Eidlitz of
the Alumni Information Bureau, who suggested it, and
myself. And right here I would correct an impression seem-
ingly widely prevalent, that the biographies in the coming
Quinquennial are to differ from those in the '84 book only in hav-
ing later information. As a matter of fact it is my aim to
build on new, and, if possible, broader lines. Each biogra-
phy, so far as may be, will contain the following facts :

1. Whole name in full. 2. Residence address (business address also
in a city of more than 20,000 inhabitants, or if in a different place). 3.

206 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

Present occupation. 4. Offices held in chapter and fraternity. 5. Date
and place of birth. 6. College offices and honors. 7. Further studies,
ai d degrees received. 8. Occupations since graduation, with full dates.
9. Offices of honor and trust. 10. List of published works. 11. Con-
tributed to what papers or magazines. 12. Member of what learned
sccieties. 13. Honorary degrees received, with dates and names of
* cc lieges. 14. Date and place of marriage ; name of bride. 1 5. Relatives
in the Fraternity.

In the case of deceased members, even more details will be
given. While the attempt will be made to secure every
important fact that could be put under all these heads, special
care will be taken to obtain details of fraternity and college
life. These, it seems to me, are particularly essential points
in a catalogue like ours. No. 8 also will be given all the ful-
ness possible, with accompanying dates.

But while biography will be the book's chief feature, there
will be considerable other matter. Each of the eight chap-
ters founded since 1884, will have its story told by a young-
alumnus. The history of the old chapters also will be told,
albeit in a condensed form. A table of the relationship of
members will be of much interest. The Fraternity's bibliogra-
phy, the rapid increase of the quality and quantity of which
has been a marked sign of our progress, will be given due
space. For a preface I have asked one of our best-known
alumni to write an article strongly and clearly defining our
present position in the fraternity world, and stating what may
well be called our profession of faith.

So much for purposes. Now as to prospects, financial and
otherwise. I am glad to report that subscriptions have been
prompt and numerous, and I would not hesitate to promise
that if the members not yet heard from subscribe in the same
proportion as have those who have made returns, the book
would come very near paying for itself, — a very desirable
result, of course. It is gratifying to record at this time also,
the substantial interest shown by the very oldest members
Of the living founders of the Williams chapter, scarcely one
but subscribed at once, and the cordial notes received from
several deserve more than a passing mention.

The date of publication is still an unsettled question, but
will not be later than October 1st, unless something very

REUNION SONG. 20J

unexpected happens. In putting forward the date of publi-
cation from that originally stated, I am simply allowing for
contingencies, and it will not be utterly surprising if the book
appears during August. But I am sure I shall not mistake
the temper of the Fraternity when I say that I do not believe
in sacrificing thoroughness in order to have the book out early.
It is my present intention to edit and put in shape myself,
everything that is to go into the book, and also do my own
proof-reading. In no other way can genuine uniformity of
style be secured, and I esteem that quality so highly necessary
in a book of this character, that even if a slight additional delay
is caused, I think the results will be gratifying to all inter-
ested.

This. I believe, covers briefly the main points of my plans
and work, and I will close with the simple assurance that it
will be my chief pleasure if I can in the forthcoming volume
help to make more conspicuous the noble principles that gov-
ern our well-beloved Fraternity. I am

Yours fraternally,

REUNION SONG.
Tune, Arabys Daughter.

We gather to-day with the accents of joy,

And devotion of hearts tried and true ;
With no secrets to harbor, no cares to annoy

At the altar of loved Delta U.
We lift once again her fair banner on high

And exalt her immaculate name ;
The defender of truth, foe of dark secrecy

With her record familiar to fame.

Her voice is uplifted 'gainst error and wrong,

Her arms will the faltering sustain ;
She redeems the oppressed from the power of the strong

And inspires with fresh courage again ;
Her trophies are spread o'er the sea and the land,

Her sceptre's the symbol of might.
Her sons are united in heart and in hand

In defending the true and the right.

Rev. John Love, Jr., New York and Rochester, '68.

EDITORIAL.

Again has a high honor been brought to the Fraternity, and
again is it to the credit of the mother chapter, which has given
us the lamented Garfield and Bross, Judge Stephen J. Field,
the Hon. David A. Wells, and scores of other noble and prom-
inent men. In another place will be found a short biography
of Francis H. Snow, A. M., Ph. D., Williams^ '62, recently
chosen Chancellor of the University of Kansas. While a man
of uncommon parts and great ability, he is known as a most
unassuming man. As remarked by a writer quoted in our
biography, he might pass for " a well-to-do farmer, a trades-
man, or perhaps a country preacher making pastoral calls on
foot." His personality is strong enough, but it is all on the
inside. He is described as a "short, compactly-built man,
whose head is set close to his square shoulders, whose iron-
gray hair and side whiskers are both closely trimmed, on
whose pleasing face time has traced a few lines, and thought
has Jeft its autograph, and in whose keen, gray eyes is a
kindly twinkle." The educational world is to be congratu-
lated upon the elevation to this eminence of such a well-
equipped, experienced and able man. The Fraternity extends
to Dr. Snow cordial greetings and best wishes for a successful
administration.

* *
Word comes, just as our last forms are in press, that a

chapter of the Fraternity has been established, with fifteen

charter-members, at the University of Minnesota. We are

glad to greet the new brothers, and extend to them a most

hearty welcome into our beloved Fraternity. We know that

they have made a wise choice in selecting Delta U. for their

fraternity sponsor, and we believe that the Fraternity has

gained a strong foothold in a most desirable location. The

Minneapolis Alumni Association, together with the hundred

members of Delta U. resident in the State, will hail with joy

the news of this new birth. Their fraternity enthusiasm will

be increased many fold, and our influence in the State greatly

augmented. Full particulars of the initiation, which occurred

on May 23rd, will be given in our next issue. Health, long

life and prosperity attend the twenty-sixth active chapter of
Delta Upsilon !

This year marks the fifth anniversary of the founding of
the Wisconsin, Lafayette, Columbia and Lehigh chapters. They
should all celebrate this event on as large a scale as possible
at the coming commencement. A quinquennial re-union pre-
sents an excellent chance to review the history of a chapter,
count up the victories won, bring the alumni together, and
gather energy for another term of years. Chapters having
attained an age of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 40 years should not for-
get to use this opportunity to the best of their ability.

*

In reviewing the position which Delta Upsilon holds, and
in studying means for her further advancement, many things
demand attention. When the importance of one of them is
considered, it seems strange that its value has been so long
neglected. We have held conventions, established chapters,
formed alumni associations, created an Executive Council,
built chapter houses, issued charters, certificates of member-
ship and a form of initiation, published Annuals, catalogues
and Quarterlies, but a Manual of Fraternity Work has been
overlooked. If the Fraternity has suffered from one thing more
than another, it is from the failure of officers, both chapter and
Fraternity, to properly fulfil their duties. This is not due to
intentional neglect on their part, but to pure ignorance of what,
should be done. While it is true that the Constitution gives,
considerable direction, still something is needed which will
more fully and explicitly state what to do and how it should
be done. The greatest difficulty that a chapter has to contend
with is its constantly changing membership. By the time that
a part of its body becomes well drilled and competent to carry
on the work in a satisfactory manner, graduation day comes
along, the chapter is robbed of its trained men, and their places
taken by neophytes. As the strength of the Fraternity lies
largely in the chapters, we think the Executive Council can
find no better way of building up our organization than by
compiling and publishing a hand-book which will be of ser-
vice alike to graduate and initiate.

2IO DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

Before the Constitution is published in the new Quinquennial
catalogue, something should be done towards bringing that
venerable document up to the present requirements of the Fra-
ternity. It is five years since the Constitution has had any
noteworthy additions, and in this period the growth of the Fra-
ternity and the development of the system of government, has
been such that it is now inadequate in many respects. For
two years the matter of revision of the Constitution has been
in the hands of the Executive Council, but they have done little
more than report " progress." The last Convention ordered
the Executive Council to print another edition of the Consti-
tution, but before this expense is incurred, such changes and
additions as are needed should be made. When we have a
Constitution which will be a guide foi* the transaction of our
present business, there will be no opportunity for a difference
of opinion as to how things should be conducted.

Our agitation of the alumni association matter is beginning
to bear fruit. The Minneapolis association has been brought
to life, the Rhode Island Club is to be given a boom, a State
association formed in Wisconsin, and a club organized in Cin-
cinnati. This is doing splendidly, and now let us hear from
Maine and Vermont, Central and Western New York, New
Jersey and Michigan, Hartford, Albany, Philadelphia, Wash-
ington, St. Louis and San Francisco.

* *
Within a few months the Lehigh chapter has been visited

twice by death, and in each case a loyal charter member has
fallen. Two men, to whom life seemed to hold brilliant pros-
pects, have been cut down in the vigor of* early manhood.
Both of them were true men, whose friendship and association
it was an honor to possess. In the loss of brothers Ruddle,
'86, and Terrell, '87, the Lehigh chapter has the cordial sym-
pathy of the Fraternity.

The design of the Delta Upsilon monogram used in the
official seal of the Fraternity, is four years behindhand. This
piece of antiquity should be replaced by a new monogram,
whose proportions comply with the present requirements of
our badge.

To those Delta U. brothers who have not yet completed
thier arrangements for a summer outing, we would suggest
the consideration of our annual camp held at Bolton, Lake
George. The increasing popularity of our camp has been
attested by the fact that for the past few seasons the attend-
ance has greatly increased, and the unbounded enthusiasm of
those fortunate enough to attend has brought it before the
brothers as a prominent feature of our fraternity life. Lake
George, as a summer resort, offers inducements surpassed by
no other place on the continent, and the moderate expense
of camp life makes it just the place for you to spend your
vacation. The managers have made arrangements for the
coming season which will excel in comfort and convenience
all efforts of previous years. Delta U's who cast their lot in
with the campers will receive a most hearty welcome, and the
realization of an ideal summer outing.

The Fraternity needs to make one little reform relating to
its convention management. It should cease to put upon an
undergraduate the work of a convention secretary. The pres-
ent plan of choosing as the secretary a member of the chapter
with whom the convention is held, works injustice to the Fra-
ternity at large, and the man himself. While no grave faults
can be found, perhaps, with recent secretaries' work, it is
evident that the system as pursued causes the Annuals to lack
that continuity that is desirable. Each secretary comes to the
work untrained, at least probably ignorant of much of the
details of recent convention legislation. The natural result
follows in a laboriously compiled annual that may or may not
give all the facts, actual and inferred, which ought to be
recorded. Change this custom, put the secretary's work upon
a graduate acquainted with convention methods and prece-
dents, say upon the Secretary of the Executive Council, and
there would then be no chance for complaint of tardy or defect-
ive annuals.

For the third time we have the pleasure of recording the

giving of one thousand dollars for a chapter house fund. This

gift is the more remarkable because it comes from a man who

212 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

is now in college, and is the first large sum ever given by an
undergraduate member of the Fraternity. The lucky chapter
is Rochester, and the man who has so noblv come to her aid is
James B. Morman, of the class of '90. May this generous
action find quick response in the hearts of many Delta U.'s.

For many years our Wesleyan, Bowdoin, Washington and
Jefferson, Miami, Trinity and Manhattan (College of the City of
New York,) chapters have been dead. If we are not mistaken
the records of these chapters are all scattered, and none of
them are at headquarters. We suggest to the Executive
Council that an effort be made to gather these interesting
relics, and if found, to have them deposited in the Fraternity
Library. This is a good time to make the attempt, for much
assistance can be had from the Quinquennial editors of those
chapters. Every year the matter is delayed the more difficult
it will be to find these valuable documents.

From time to time a number of our members have left the
college where they joined the Fraternity, and have gone to
institutions where Delta U. had no chapter. In some of these
places chapters have been established since the men went there,
but unless each man's history is examined it is impossible to
tell, from the 1884 catalogue, what Delta U's graduated before
the chapter was founded. We think the value of the new
Quinquennial catalogue will be increased if a plan is adopted
whereby all the Delta U. members of a college are gathered
together under one chapter heading.

HERE AND THERE,

The attention of Exchanges is called to the fact that each issue of the
Quarterly is copyrighted. Exchanges are cordially welcome to the use
of all original matter, provided due credit is given the Quarterly.

Two of the Minnesota chapter's Seniors are named O. K. Richardson
and O. K. Wilson. It is seldom that a chapter is favored with so many
O. K. men at the start.

The greatest convention that Phi Kappa Psi has ever known was
recently held with their Chicago alumni association as hosts. They paid
the expenses, amounting to nearly $1,000. That is the kind of an alumni
association to have.

Thomas J. Ramsdell, Colby, '86, of South Paris, Me., sends his subscrip-
tion to the Quarterly and writes : "I have the sample copies sent, and
read them with great pleasure. The Quarterly has never stood so
high as it does to-day." Right you are, Brother, and if the Fraternity
will give us more support we will do our best to move the peg a notch or
two higher.

We are glad to learn that Phi Kappa Psi has re-elected for a term of
two years, Mr. C. L. Van Cleve, the able editor of the Shield. This is a
time in fraternity journalism when experienced men are required more
than ever before. In two years a novice can hardly fill the place of
a trained editor.

An examination of the Quarterly's subscription list, reveals some
interesting facts. In some chapters the percentage of alumni subscribing
is large, while in others it is very small. It is difficult to find a satisfactory
reason for this difference. As with chapters so with classes. In some
classes every man has his name on the books, and in others not one. New
York, '81, is the banner class, all six of her members having been
regular subscribers for the past seven years. Rochester, '84, comes next
with all seven members, six of whom have had their names recorded for
seven years.

" '60. — The New England alumni of Chi Psi Fraternity, held a banquet
last week, at which Speaker Reed was chosen one of the officers." —
Bowdoin Orient. Can it be that the Chi Psis have made an honorary
member of the distinguished speaker ? He did not belong to any society
while in college.

" Hail to Our Brotherhood !
Noble its aim !"

was a sentiment accompanying a toast given at the installation banquet

•of the Minnesota chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon. As the initiates were

men expelled from Phi Delta Theta for breaking their oaths, the selection

has a peculiar significance.

" This (Pan-Hellenic) celebration is not at all popular with the Delta
U's; they can't see it very well. They are on the outside of the fence.
The fence is a brick wall, very high. They say they prefer to stay outside.
But the fruit of the vine is exceedingly acrid. — Northwestern Corres-
pondent Sigma Chi. It can't be very acrid when Phi Delta Theta also
stays out of her own accord.

The New York Star of March 2nd, 1890, contains a three-column
article entitled " Peculiar Periodicals. The Exponents of the College
Secret Fraternities," by C. N. Ironside, editor of the Chi Phi Quarterly.
A large part of this article is taken word for word from the Beta Theta
Pi of October, 1889, to whom no credit is given.

214 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

A new college honor. — The following, which has been tossing
about in the editorial drawer for six months or more, is too good to be
lost ; and moreover, we can vouch for its truth from personal knowledge :

A certain successful businessman, of impressive bearing and sonorous
speech, and considerable influence in the commercial affairs of one of our
great cities, takes no little pride in the record made at college by a
promising nephew of his, whom we may call John. " John is a fine boy,"
his uncle informed a group of acquaintances some time since — " a fine
boy. He's bound to make his mark. Why, sir, he was the valetudinarian
of his class at the university." — Beta Theta Pi, April 1890.

This calls to mind something we published two years ago : — " Did
your son graduate with high honor in his class at college, Mrs. Porkine ?"
Mrs. Porkine, of Chicago : " Yes, thanks to his perfect health, he was the
valetudinarian!' — Delta Upsilon Quarterly, July 1888, page 255.

During the years 1882-90, our Harvard chapter has taken over
$38,000 in prizes and scholarships. At their annual spring initiation, held
on May 16th, there were twelve initiates, and eighty-eight men, representing
nine chapters of Delta U. sat down to the banquet which followed the
most excellently conducted initiation. We think Harvard holds the
record on prizes and attendance. Make your plans for attending a great
convention with them in the fall of 1891.

When the Phi Kappa Psi Shield said last fall that our Quarterly
" was easily the peer of any fraternity journal ever published," we had
little idea how popular the expression would become. Not long after
that, a speaker at a Theta Delta Chi meeting, said the Theta Delta Chi
Shield was " the peer of any fraternity magazine published in the
land." This enthused the Editor and he followed it up with the announce-
ment : " No pains have been spared to make the Shield the peer of any
journal in the land !" The Editor of the D. K. E. Quarterly then felt that
he was missing a good thing, and with characteristic " Deke," modesty,
made the types in his April issue say that the D K E Quarterly " is con-
fessedly the peer of any such publication in existence." Next !

The Hopkins memorial building, of which we give a picture on page

This money was subscribed by the friends of Williams College, in honor

building, with offices for the President and Treasurer. The building, of
which the exterior is now finished, faces the west. The first story is of
light limestone, the remaining ones are of light English brick, with
brown freestone trimmings.

" The Phi Gamma Delta Quarterly has three salaried editors. We
believe this is the only journal w T hich pays any of its editors anything.
Love seems to be the inspiring force which produces most of the Greek
journals of the present day." — Theta Delta Chi Shield. " The editor of
the Shield has had a salary for three years. Beta Theta Pi has paid the man-
aging editor of its journal for his services for an equal time, perhaps longer.
The Scroll's editor is being handsomely paid for his services." — Phi Kappa
Psi Shield. The editor of the Alpha Tau Omega Palm has been a
salaried officer for two years, and the editor of the Quarterly has been
receiving a salary for four years. Probably nearly all the editors of
Greek letter magazines are receiving compensation for their services.

The value of having chapters in different parts of the country is seen in
the initiating of a Colby man's son by Pennsylvania, and a Rutgers
man's son by Harvard. A fraternity gains great strength through
family lines.

Now is the time to exchange your college annual with the other chap-
ters. Don't forget to send a copy to the New York Club House, It
will reach many hands there.

Through the kindness of the Lehigh Burr t we are enabled to present
a portrait of Brother Samuel D. Warriner, Lehigh, '90. The Burr
says : " Mr. Warriner has captained the best team Lehigh ever put into
the field, with credit to himself and honor to the University ; winning the
approbation of all by his tireless energy and efficient service. He has
generally exhibited good judgment in the choice of his men, and excel-
lent generalship in the field, while his individual work has been uniformly
brilliant."

2l6 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

We suppose we ought to say in this letter, that the Delta Upsilon
chapter here induced one of our pledged men to break his pledge to us
and unite with them. We wonder if this is fraternity tactics ? Delta
Upsilon has a good reputation elsewhere, but this recent action has
lowered her in the estimation of all the fraternities on College Hill, and
it has put us on our guard so that we shall know how to act next fall.—
Tufts Correspondent, Delta Tau Delta Rainbow. The only trouble with
this statement is that it omits the important facts. If the writer does not
know that the man in question gained a release from his .pledge before
joining Delta U., he should, be told by his chapter officers. The
action of our chapter was above-board and honorable. We wonder if
this is fraternity tactics, to attempt to create false impressions by misrep-
resentation ?

" The history of anti-fraternity organizations bears witness that political
schemes are not confined* to fraternities alone. When the " anti-frats "
organize for the purpose of defeating the fraternities, they are often more
unreasonable in their demands and more artful in their intrigues than the
fraternities themselves. They commit the very sins they have so strongly
condemned in the fraternities, and often end by becoming fraternity men
themselves. So ended the famous Anti-Secret Confederation of 1847,
and so ended the less famed but more modern Haut-Beau club. Delta
Upsilon, from an anti-secret society came to be a " non-secret " but
" private" fraternity, and now it is said she has some thought of remov-
ing even this miscroscopic distinction." Editorial in Rainbow. — It is too
bad to spoil the editor's climax, but in the name of truth it should be,
said that in no convention of Delta U. has the remotest possibility of
such a desertion of the present standard been considered.

"Our motto is fraternity and business, but no literary 'per se.' " —
Theta Delta Chi Shield. If the insertion of advertisements like this.
" The Piner Del Rio Cigar is the best all-around smoker the editor ever saw
He has smoked the cigar for years, and therefore speaks with full knowl-
edge. Boys, try it. You will never find a cigar for the money which will
equal it," among the Fraternity Gossip, in the Shield is " business,"
give us the "literary per se."

The new editor of the D. K. E. Quarterly seems to have found out
very soon some of the difficulties that beset fraternity journalism. He says :
•* If you have changed your address, don't get mad and write a sarcastic
letter indicating your contempt of the poor methods in vogue at the edi-
torial rooms. It will be much better and cheaper to just drop a postal
card informing us of the change, and the mailing list will be corrected
accordingly." Also, " Don't put the bill that you have already received,
in some out-of-the-way pigeon-hole, and then forget all about it. To print,

but for pay. Words of appreciation are always pleasant, but a check or
money order in favor of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Quarterly, remitted
promptly upon the receipt of your bill, is the highest token of apprecia-
tion that you can send us. You have received a statement of your
account within the past three months; a thousand or so of you have
failed to notice that statement ; if you would enjoy our quarterly visits in
the future, let us hear from you without delay."

Cincinnati Thi Psis not only commend and indorse the Shield, but pay
and work for it, order it largely, and mail and distribute it extensively. It
is not only looked upon as the fraternity magazine, but believed in and
used as a home and fireside magazine. It is expected that from fifty to
one hundred extra copies of the April number will be ordered here for
special use. The May number will contain special items and personals
from Cincinnati, including an outline of the programme for the June ban-
quet and gathering. — Phi Kappa Psi Shield. We commend this state-
ment to the careful consideration of our alumni and undergraduates.

from th'e bench.

In Chicago, John W. Root, {New York, '69,) the recently elected

" The occasion of the meeting of the Indiana Academy of Science,
brought together a number of fraternity men from different parts of the
State. The DePauw chapter of Delta Upsilon improved the opportunity
and banqueted her visiting brothers last night. At the close of the busi-
cess meeting of the Academy in MeharryHall, the members of Delta U.
were escorted to the fraternity hall, where a pleasant time was spent
socially. At 10.30 all repaired to Merry weather's Palace, where refresh-
ments were served. The toasts, with the names of those who responded,
were : " Our Motto," L. F. Dimmitt, '92 ; " The Fraternity," Charles R.
Dryer, Hamilton, '71 ; "Delta Upsilon in College," J. M. Hamilton, '93,
" Delta Upsilon in the World," Joseph H. Tudor, Lafayette, '86; " Alma
Mater," George A. Caldwell, '91 ; " Our Dead Chapters," William P.
Shannon, Miami, '73 ; " Three Years Ago," W. O. Bowers, '90. Dr.
Jordan expected to be present, but was compelled to return to Bloom-
ington. — Greencastle, Ind., Sun., May. 10.

The Hon. Hans Stevenson Beattie, New York, '73, has been appointed
Commissioner of street cleaning in New York city, and the Board of
Health has confirmed the appointment, The salary is $5,000 a year.
Mr. Beattie, after leaving the University of New York, studied law and
graduated from the Columbia Law School. Although he is a member of

DELTA U. NEWS ITEMS. 221

the Bar he has practised very little. He was private secretary and sten-
ographer to ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney, when the latter was
Corporation Counsel. At that time he was a member of Irving Hall,
but afterwards was one of the Committee of One Hundred who organ-
ized the County Democracy. His first public office was that of deputy
county clerk under Patrick Keenan. He held this office until 1885, wnen
he was appointed Surveyor of the Port of New York by President Cleve-
land. While in this office, Louis Bieral, a discharged Custom House
inspector, attempted to take his life by shooting him. He was danger-
ously injured, but recovered after being confined to his house for
several months. The New York Press, Republican, says : " Hans S.
Beattie, the new Commissioner of Street Cleaning, is a man among
men."

Dear Quarterly :

Among the American students in the University of Berlin this year
there have been seven members of Delta Upsilon, and the first gathering
in honor of Delta U. on this side of the water was, I presume, that held
the evening of February 28, at the Wilhelm's Hallen Unter den Linden.
Invitations had been sent to our fellow exiles in other parts of Germany,
so far as their addresses were known, in the hope of somewhat increas-
ing our number, and also by way of neighborly and fraternal greeting.
No lack of interest was manifested in the replies, but owing to distance,
only Brother French, Brown, '85, at Strassburg, responded in person.
There were present brothers Alfred W. Anthony, Brown, '83, Calvin M.
Clark, Williams, '84, Isaac L. Adler, Rochester and Harvard, '89, Joseph
A. Hill, Harvard, '85, Ferdinand C. French, Brown, '85, and Ambrose P.
Winston, Wisconsin, '87. William E. Jillson, Brown, '82, was ill, and
Edmund N. Snyder, Harvard, '86, was otherwise detained.

The cook had lavished all the art of his profession upon the edibles,
and all the English of his assistants upon the menus, and the skill of the
chef quite compensated for the orthographic sins of his lieutenants.
Brother Anthony did honor to the occasion as toastmaster, and " Prosit
Delta U. " was drunk repeatedly in a variety of liquids, but with uniform
heartiness. Beginning with the representative of time-honored Williams,
each man responded for his chapter and college. An informal discus-
sion of fraternity affairs closed the evening's proceedings. Before
separating, it was decided that " through The Quarterly we reach out
across the water and shake hands with the brethren."

Shake ! and let us hope that the first may not also be the last such
long-armed giving of the right hand of fellowship. W.

The Minnesota Chapter. — Delta Upsilon entered the University
of Minnesota, Friday, May 23d, initiating fifteen of the best men in
the institution. The Quarterly appears too soon to allow a full
account of the occasion, but a more detailed description will appear in the
next number. The names of the initiates are as follows : O. K. Wilson,
W. A. Beach, O. K. Richardson, A. W. Shaw, G. A. Petri, F. E. Covell,
C. R. Cutts, F. J. Brabec, of '90 ; A. W. Stacey, W. A. Chowen, J. E.
Carroll, G. A. Clark, of '91 ; E. A. Covell, '92 ; E. Medley, and F. W.
Springer, '93. The most auspicious feature in connection with the new
organization is the fact that the eight seniors will return next year to take
courses in law and medicine. (Few new chapters have been so fortunate
in retaining so large a proportion of their charter members for a consider-
able period.) The men are enthusiastically endorsed by the Minneapolis
Alumni Association of Delta U., and will find a strong support in the
cooperation of that body. The initiation was conducted bv a com-
mittee consisting of Carman N. Smith, Michigan, '83, Edward B. Barnes,
Cornell, '88, Albert R. Moore, Harvard ,'91, who is now in the law school
of Minnesota University, and Frederick H. Whitton, Wisconsin, '89. Our
brothers in Minnesota start on their fraternity career most auspiciously,
and will receive the earnest wishes of every chapter in the Fraternity that
the future will fulfil the bright prospects of the present. Thoroughly
representative of various college interests, in its membership assured of
the continuous presence of many active charter members, and actively
supported by a body of enthusiastic alumni, Minnesota bids fair to
take high rank in our roll of strong chapters.

The Rochester Chapter House. — For quite a time the resident
members of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity have been discussing the pro-
ject of erecting a chapter house. Four of the collegiate fraternites here
already have chapter houses, but the Delta Upsilon is the first to build its
own, the others having purchased residences which were afterward
remodeled. A few weeks ago the handsome lot on the southwest cor-
ner of University avenue and Strathallan park, was purchased as a site.
This lot is directly opposite the campus, and is peculiarly fitted for the
use to which it is to be put.

The plans for the new building have been prepared by Architects
Thomas and E. B. Nolan, and call for a building of handsome design
and convenient interior. A Herald reporter was permitted to inspect
these plans yesterday, and also the exterior sketch. The chapter house
will extend 32 feet on University avenue, and 58 feet on Strathallan
park. It is to be three stories in height, with a commodious basement
The materials used will be stone, brick and shingle. The former will
extend up to the window sills. Blue stone will probably be used. Up
to the second story the walls will be of brick. The shingle work will

224 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

cover the second story and the sloping roof, or the third story. The
entrance will be on Strathallan park, a deeply recessed stone portico
adding to the appearance of this portion of the building. Stained
glass windows will be put in above the portico, and there will be a
number of dormer windows projecting from the roof, and affording
plenty of light for the rooms in the third story. The portico will open
into a hall. This hall will be finished in quartered oak, and the front
staircase will also be of this material. At the front of the house, on
the ground floor, will be the lounging and reading-rooms. The dining-
room will occupy the central portion, and in the southeast corner will
be the cosy smoking " den," which is sure to be popular with the
students. The reading-room and the dining-room will he finished in
quartered oak, and the lounging room and "dentin stained chestnut.
There will be the usual lavatory, kitchen and serving rooms on this floor.
The principal rooms will be so arranged that they can be thrown open
for reception purposes. There will be nine sleeping apartments in all,
six in the second story and three more above. A bath-room and closet
will open from each chamber. On the third floor, up by the dormer
windows, there will also be a pleasant sitting-room and a meeting-room.
The chambers will be painted in light and delicate tints, and made as
attractive as possible. Plenty of fire-places will add to the comfort of the
chapter house, and there will also be many pleasant nooks in which the
students can loiter at their ease. There are to be automatic electric
bells in each room, and every modern convenience. The building will be
heated by hot water, and the most improved system will be used, insuring
perfect ventilation. Much attention will be given to the plumbing, in
order that it may be thoroughly sanitary. In the basement an ample
store room will be provided, and the servants' apartments will also be
located there. The chapter house will cost between $10,000 and $12,-
000. The " D. U." boys will have every reason to be proud of their
handsome new building. — Rochester Morning Herald, April 23. 1890.

Western New England Club.— The Western New England club
of the Delta Upsilon college fraternity celebrated its second birthday last
evening by a banquet at Hotel Warwick in this city, six chapters being
represented by members, and Amherst and Williams also by under-
graduates. At the preliminary business meeting it was voted to take
the name of the Garfield Delta Upsilon club of Western New England,
and these officers were chosen : President, Judge L. E. Hitchcock,
Amherst, '72, of Chicopee ; vice-president, John W. Lamb, Colby, '55, of
of Hartford ; secretary and treasurer, David B. Howland, Amherst,

ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS. 225

'83, of this city ; executive committee, the Hon. Milton B. Whitney,
Williams, '49, of Westfield, Dr M. M. Johnson, Brown, '70, of Hartford,
Levi M. Pierce, Colby, '60, Elisha P. Bartholomew, Amherst, '71, and
Ralph W. Brokaw, Rutgers, '74, all of this city. The company then
adjourned to the dining-hall, where a fine supper was served. In the
after-dinner speaking, the Rev. Ralph W. Brokaw, proved a capable
toast-master. Responses were made by the retiring president, Mr.
Whitney ; the new president, L. E. Hitchcock ; Ellis J. Thomas, of New
York, secretary of the fraternity's executive council ; Mr. Lamb, Dr.
Johnson, Charles H. Sawyer, Amherst, '80, of Meriden, Ct., who spoke
eloquently to the toast of "James A. Garfield," D. L. Merrill, Williams,
'92, and John M. Clapp, Ainherst, '90. Fraternity songs filled in the
.gaps between the speeches, and the pleasant gathering was brought to
a close by the singing of the fraternity ode. — Springfield Republican,
March 8, 1 890.

The Minneapolis Alumni Association.— Another Delta Upsilon
alumni association is this month added to the already generous list of such
associations that adorns the fore part of the quarterly. This time it is
the great State of Minnesota which comes into the field and proclaims
herself the home of enterprising, loyal members of the Fraternity. Some
live or six years ago an association of Delta Upsilon alumni was organ-
ized in Minneapolis, Minn., with the Rev. D. D. MacLaurtin, Madison,
'8 1, pastor of the Immanuel Baptist church, as its President. Little was
done, however, the meetings being few and far between, and finally
becoming non est entirely. Recently, owing largely to the movement to
establish the chapter at the State University of Minnesota, interest has been
revived, and now bids fair to grow to large proportions.

On Saturday evening, April 19, twelve Delta U's of Minneapolis and
St. Paul, met at the West Hotel in Minneapolis, and took steps to reor-
ganize the association. Those present were as follows : Winthrop B.
Chamberlain, Minneapolis, Michigan, '84; Prof. C. W. Hall, Minne-
apolis, Middlebury, '71 ; Prof. George N. Carman, St. Paul, Michigan,
*8i; Carman N. Smith, Minneapolis, Michigan,''^ ; Edward B. Barnes,
Minneapolis, Cornell, '88 ; David W. Knowlton, Minneapolis, Colby, '83,
Hazen W. Parker, Minneapolis, Middlebury, '80; the Rev. Samuel J.
Rogers, Minneapolis, Rutgers, '59 ; the Rev. Thomas G. Field, Minne-
apolis, Brown, '70; Frank H. Pratt, Minneapolis, Brown, '77 ; Allen H.
Potter, Minneapolis, Michigan, '83 ; and James McK. Thompson, Minne-
apolis, Michigan* '83. Following some discussion as to the advisability
of reorganizing the old association, or to organize a new one, the former
plan being finally adopted. The following officers were elected : Presi-
dent, Winthrop B. Chamberlain ; vice-presidents, Prof. C. W. Hall,
Prof. George N. Carman ; recording secretary. Carman N. Smith ; cor-

226 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

responding secretary, Edward B. Barnes. These will constitute an ex-
ecutive committee.

The project of establishing a chapter of the fraternity at the State-
University was discussed thoroughly, and the sentiment was both unani-
mous and earnest in favor of the plan. The recording secretary was
instructed to express the feeling of the alumni present, regarding the
matter, in a circular letter to the Executive Council Immediate action in
the matter by the Executive Council was strongly recommended.

It was also decided to make an active effort to bring all alumni of
Delta Upsilon in Minnesota within the association, and a canvass is to-
be begun looking toward that end. A banquet is " on the tapis " for
some time during the month of July, when the convention of the National
Teachers' Association is to convene in St. Paul, and it is thought this
will be the means of bringing together a large number of sons of Delta.
Upsilon, not only from Minnesota, but from all over the country.

The University of Minnesota, situated at Minneapolis, is, outside of
Ann Arbor, probably the most thriving college in the West, containing a
few over one thousand students. Its president is Cyrus Northrup. The
Delta U. Alumni in Minnesota are among the most prominent in the
country, including honored names in the professions of the ministry, teach-
ing and law. E. B. B.

The New York Delta Upsilon Club. — The annual dinner of the
New York Delta Upsilon Club was held at the Club House, No. 8 East
47th street, on Friday evening, February 21 st. In point of attendance and
enthusiasm it was one of the most successful reunions ever held bv the
Fraternity. From eight o'clock, when the first guest arrived, until three
A. M. when the last one departed, the hospitable mansion was merry with
talk and laughter of alumni released from business cares and professional
schools. That the younger men are ready to assume the responsibilities
devolving upon them with the gradual retirement of their honored
elders, needs no higher demonstration than that afforded at New York on
the eve of Washington's birthday.

Tables were spread in the long parlors on the first floor, while the
guests gathered in the reception room above. A fine dinner was served,
to which the assemblage did ample justice. Banners and other fraternity
insignia decorated the walls.

William Travers Jerome, Amherst, '82, Assistant District Attorney of
New York city, presided over the post-prandial festivities, and by his
active leadership did much to make the affair a rousing success. Delight-
ful solos were rendered by Charles N. Adams, Marietta, '77, before the
toast-list was opened.

The guest of the evening was Dr. Anson L. Hobart, Williams % '36,
first President of the Fraternity. He responded to the toast, November 4.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS. 227

** 1834," and spoke earnestly of the beginning of the society and of its
requirements. The venerable brother was greeted with great enthusiasm,
the assembly rising and uniting in the Delta U. yell.

" Oh ! spirit of that early day
So pure and strong and true,
Be with us in the narrow way,
Our faithful fathers knew."

The next toast was " Delta Upsilon in New York." Otto M. Eidlitz,
Cornell, '81, gave the response, and evoked great enthusiasm by his
references to the prosperous condition of fraternity affairs.

" Our Ideals," was the theme of the Rev. William H. P. Faunce,
Brown, '80, and most ideally was it handled. It is seldom that a more
enjoyable toast has been heard at such a gathering. Brother Faunce
sought to bring into prominence by apt illustration the importance of
connection with the Fraternity in after college days.

Rossiter Johnson, Rochester, '63, who was to have responded to, " The
Outlook for Literature," was kept away by illness. Three rousing cheers
were given for him by the assemblage.

" Delta Upsilon as an Active Force," was toasted by John Q. Mitchell,
Marietta, '80, in a very successful manner. He was followed by Albert
B. Pattou, Columbia, '90, who responded most ably for, 4 * Our Under-
studies."

" Though Winter howls at the gate,
In our hearts 'tis Summer still."

As delegates were present from Harvard, Amherst, Williams ;
Lafayette, Pennsylvania and Rutgers, they were naturally called upon
at this point to respond for their various chapters. All spoke proudly of
the position of Delta Upsilon in the various institutions.

" Columbus and Delta Upsilon," was the unique toast of Charles H.
Roberts, New York, '86, and it was treated in his usual inimitable
manner. The last response was ably made by Alexander D. Noyes,
Amherst, '83, to " The Ladies— God bless 'em." As a token that the
formal exercises of the evening were over, all now arose and with clasped
hands joined in " Auld Lang Syne " and the Fraternity Ode.

Letters of regret were read from Attorney-General Miller. President
of the Fraternity, Hamilton, '61, Justice Stephen J. Field, Williams, '37,
Secretary of W r ar Proctor, Middlebury, Prof. Borden P. Bowne, New
York, '71. The Rev. Dr. William Elliot Griffis, Rutgers, '69. Samuel B.
Duryea, Esq., New York, '66. All expressed a hearty interest in the affairs
of the Fraternity.

evening in the history of the New York Delta Upsilon Club. Several
new men signified their intention to become members in a short time,
and considerable additions were made to the subscription fund, which
the men resident in the House had so generously begun. Long after
the last of the toastees had finished, groups of happy Delta U's remained
to renew the old days, discuss the pleasures of the evening, and sound
the praises of our beloved Fraternity. And each one, as he bade a late
good-night, declared that not for long moons had he found such great
enjoyment, and vowed that only the direst of calamities should keep
him away from future reunions of Delta Upsilon. E. J. T.

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE.

UNION UNIVERSITY.

The past winter has been prosperous for Union. Without and within
the college, a deep interest and activity have been manifest. Largely
attended banquets and alumni meetings have been held in New York,
Chicago, San Francisco, Buffalo and Albany. Extensive preparations
are now being made for commencement, and it is expected that this
will be the best commencement that has been held in years. It is
announced that William H. McElroy, of the New York Tribune, is to be
the Honorary Chancellor.

The literary societies, Adelphic and Philomatheari, which for a few years
back were inactive, have been revived, and are flourishing. These soci-
eties date back nearly to the foundation of the college, and in former
years they exerted a powerful influence on the literary life of Union.

The glee club, which was organized last winter, is now under the
instruction of Prof. William H. Rost, a brother of the class of '73. So
far it has been very successful, and wherever the club has appeared it has
been flatteringly received. .Delta U. is represented by Charles Fisk, '91.

Athletics are now getting much attention. The base-ball team bids
fair to be stronger than for several years. Field-day takes place at Syra-
cuse, May 30. Delta U. will probably be represented by two men.

Delta U. at Union still " pursues the even tenor of her way," friendly
with the other fraternities and receiving her share of college honors.

HAMILTON COLLEGE.

Marked improvements in the chapter house have occurred during the
past term, perhaps the most noticable of all being a re-papering of our
parlor, dining-room, and halls. The furnishings of some of the sleeping-
rooms have been bettered, and we expect to make more advances before
long. Believing that improvements when inaugurated should continue,
our ambition has extended to regrading the tennis court, and numerous
lame arms and backs attest the vigor with which we labored. The
result is that wearers of the Gold and Blue may be daily seen chasing the
elusive sphere. Nor is Delta U. unrepresented in other athletic depart-
ments. Brother Hayden is training for base ball, and will probably be
one of the tug-of-war team ; Brother Curran is doing well at the 220
yards dash, and is practicing some of the jumps; Brother Hughes is a
strong contestant in putting the shot ; and Brother Marquisee is the best
bicyclist in college.

One of the pleasantest events we have enjoyed was an evening
recently spent at Cottage Seminary. The host, a loyal Delta U., and
his amiable wife, invited the chapter to meet the young ladies at an

I

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 23 1

informal gathering. Rapidly the hours fled, mid music and conversation,
and now the chapter desires again to renew the acquaintances formed
there.

As to scholarship and prizes, it is too early for definite information.
A number of competitive essays and orations were handed in at the end
of the last term, from which we hope to hear our usual good account at
■commencement.

We have lately been called to mourn the loss of Brother Lewis A.
.Scovel, '84, son of the Rev. Dwight Scovel, '54, and brother to Prof. Carl
W. Scovel, '88. Having been ill for some time, the doctor had passed
the winter with his father in Clinton, and his cheery face, often seen
.at the chapter house, enlivened many an hour. Ever zealous for the
■chapter's best interests, always desirous to aid us in our efforts, we
keenly feel his loss. Only those favored with the near presence of active
alumni, realize the importance of their advice and endeavors, and such
well know the value of the helping hand that we would might help us
yet, but it can never be, George H. Harkness.

AMHERST COLLEGE,

The return of President Seelye, and his resumption of college work, is es-
pecially gratifying to the Seniors, to whom his absence during the last two
terms has been a great loss. While welcoming the President home, we were
called to lament the death of one of our most highly respected professors,
Richard T. Mather. His loss will be deeply felt by the college, as well as by
a large circle of friends. Prof. Mather was a member of Psi Upsilon.

Base ball has received its customary good financial support, and we feel
proud of our team, for though our chances for the pennant do not seem so
bright, we have the satisfaction of knowing that whatever games we do win,
are won by Amherst students, not by hired professionals. Delta Upsilon is
happy in the possession of three men on the team ; Hunt, a most promis-
ing young catcher, and 'qj's crack battery, Boutwell and Cutter, the
change 'varsity battery. When not catching, Cutter plays in right field.

The Amherst 'varsity have scored another victory over the Yale 'varsity,
and the Amherst Freshmen over the Yale P'reshmen. We hope that all
our alumni who may be in Amherst for Commencement, will not fail to
be at the chapter house Tuesday evening, Class day.

Wm. McE. Weldon, '90.

ADELBERT COLLEGE.

On the evening of February 22, the Seniors gave an interesting
entertainment in honor of Washington's birthday. An unusually
large number of the friends of the class were present, and greatly
enjoyed the exercises. We were represented by Brother Osborne,

232 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

'90, in a well written oration on " The Louisiana Purchase," and by-
Brother Tuttle, the only representative of '92, who delivered a declama-
tion entitled " Freed* in and Patriotism." Mr Tuttle's excellent delivery-
showed that the Sophomores had made a wise selection. After the
exercises we received the friends of Delta U. at our Hall, where the
evening was passed pleasantly, and the party dispersed with enthusiasm
and good wishes for Delta U.

Delta U.has again won two of the three honors awarded to the Junior
class, Brothers Dickerman and Ford being the successful persons. There
are four other fraternities represented in the class. Of the six speakers
chosen for the Junior Exhibition, three were Delta U's. Brother Dicker-
man was prevented by illness from delivering an honor oration on " The
Purity of the Ballot." The subject of Brother Ford's honor oration was
"The Art of Observation." Brother Dynes spoke on the subject,.
" Henry W. Grady."

Brother Wright, '93, has left college, but expects to be with us next
year. This leaves us thirteen members, a larger number than that of
any other chapter at Adelbert. At present Beta Theta Pi has 1 2 men ;
Alpha Delta Phi and Delta Kappa Epsilon, 9 each ; Delta Tau Delta, 6;
and Phi Gamma Delta, 1 .

Professor Perrin, instructor in Greek, sailed for Athens last February, to
study archaeology. The Rev. J. A. Towle, of Norfolk, C c nn., takes his place.
The college recently took an important step and entered the arena of
college journalism with a monthly, representing the various departments
of Western Beserve University. The first number of The Adelbert
appeared on April 8, and has received much praise.

J. H. Dynes, '91.

COLBY UNIVERSITY.

One of the events which enlivened the winter term was the Junior
prize debate. Among the six disputants (three on a side) Delta U. was
represented on the affirmative by H. R. Purinton, and on the negative
by L. P. Sturtevant and F. A. Luce. The prize was awarded to the
affirmative, and the winning speech is generally acknowledged to have
been Brother Purinton's. On the Sophomore prize declamation, held on
April 25, we had three representatives, but were forced to satisfy our-
selves with an honorable mention for Brother Sturtevant. Three of the
appointees for the Freshman prize reading, are Delta U's.

The base ball season is fairly begun, and Colby has won the five inter-
collegiate games thus far played. Brother Burke is manager of the nine,
and Brothers Purinton and Merrill play short stop and right field,
respectively.

At a recent meeting the chapter voted to have a photograph cut of

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 235

the members placed in the Oracle instead of the usual inset. Some of the
boys have been indulging in day dreams with reference to a chapter house.
We fear that these dreams will not be realized for many years to come ;.
however, communications from any and all of our sister chapters who are so
fortunate as to possess housesof their own — in regard to their cost, manage-
ment, etc. — will be of great interest to us, if not of immediate value.

William L. Soule.

ROCHESTER UNIVERSITY.

Our hopes have been realized and a chapter house is in plain
view ! The struggle is over and the chapter will soon erect a house
of which any chapter might be proud. The plans have been drawn
up and accepted, and within a week the work of construction will
be well along. Our location, across from the campus, is the finest
in the city for a chapter house. The cost will probably reach $15,000
or $16,000; but our alumni and active members have contributed so
generously that it will not be burdensome.

Among our contributors James B. Morman, '90, deserves especial
mention, as being one of the three men in the Fraternity who has given
one thousand dollars for a chapter house.

Delta U. never ranked higher here at Rochester. She has even more
than her share of social, literary, and athletic attainments, winning the high-
est praise in the college opera given by the Students' Association, acquiring
one-third of the Sophomore appointments, as well as first place ; and
two-thirds of 4». B. K. appointments of the Senior class. She will prob-
have three men at least on the ball nine.

In the midst of our happiness we deeply regret the temporary absence
of Brother Smith of '93, occasioned by the death of his father.

Delta U's are always welcome at Rochester, and especially will they
be when we occupy our chapter house. E. L. Fargo.

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE.

The spring term finds us again gathered together, ready to take
advantage of the opportunities it offers both for profit and amusement.
Tennis and boating, and trips to the beautiful and historic places in
which this region abounds, are some of the ways in which the latter can
be obtained at this season of the year.

The winter term closed on March 25, with the customary Junior exhi-
bition in the Town Hall. It was a great success, and is said to have
been the best for years. The " Hop " which followed the exercises, was,
as usual, fully appreciated by the students, just freed from their college
duties. At the annual meetings of the athletic and publishing associations
Delta Upsilon was well honored. Brother Noonan,'9i , the retiring business

^34 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

manager of the Undergraduate, reported a handsome surplus in the treas-
ury, and was given a vote of thanks. Brother Noonan is also editor-in-
chief of the Kaleidoscope, the Junior annual. We have three out of the
seven successful competitors for positions on the new Undergraduate
board.

We were much interested in what was said in the last Quarterly about
the literary work of the chapters, particularly extemporaneous speaking.
W T e have tried it in our" meetings with excellent results. The alumni, who
visit us occasionally, almost invariably advise us to give this special
attention, as it will be of the greatest service to us after graduation.

Carl A. Mead, '91.

RUTGERS COLLEGE.

On March 7 the chapter held its annual banquet, which was attended
by nearly fifty alumni and undergraduates. Seaman Miller, Esq., '79.
-acted as toast-master. At his right sat Prof. Frank L. Nason, Amherst,
'82, the Assistant State Geologist of New Jersey. Professors Nason and
Wyckoff, '7 2 » responded to toasts. Other speakers were Byron Cum-
mings, '89, Charles Maar, '89, and W. A. Mayou, '90. Among those
present were A. H. Van Cleve, Lehigh^ '90, and George G. Seibert, New
York, '89. The toasts were interspersed with fraternity and college
songs, " the feast of reason " closing with a poem written for the occa-
sion by the associate Quarterly editor.

Another member of the Senior class, Mr. E. T. Middleton, has been
initiated. This swells our membership roll to thirty. The chapter has
been called upon to express its thanks to Irving S. Upson, '8i, who has
given a handsomely framed monograph, presenting in tabular form all
the honors and prizes taken by Rutgers Delta U. men since the
chapter organization, together with comparative percentages showing the
ratio of superiority. Besides this gift, other friends have given decora-
tive works, so that our chapter hall has a most cosy and inviting appear-
arce.

In college circles we have been well represented. Brother Middleton
is President of the Rutgers Electrical Association, and vice-president of
the Camera Club. Brother Winn, '92, has contributed several pictures
to the Scarlet Letter; Paull J. Challen, '91, is prominently connected
with the Glee Club, and at the last meeting of the Targum Association
Herbert B. Roberts, '91, was elected an associate editor of the Targum.

Jasper Hogan, '91, is captain of the 'Varsity base ball team, and plays
second base ; his brother, Robert, plays right field, while our redoubtable
all-round athlete. Sam Lockett, occupies the box and dispenses curves to
the visiting team, and plays on the Lacrosse team, too.

James Westfall Thompson.

COLGATE UNIVERSITY.

The Madison chapter is dead ; so far as can be learned a very peace-
ful passing away. She was in the twenty-third year of her age, a blooming
maiden or a staid old dame according as one chooses to regard her.
Her's had been a thoroughly decorous life, — nothing if not proper. All the
effects of the deceased have fallen to the Colgate chapter, said chapter
being named as heiress, executrix, administratrix and assignee. In short,
our college has changed its name. It was quite fitting to bestow upon
the institution the name of a family whose members have long been its
benefactors.

The only important event during the winter term was the Senior Clarke
Oratorical Contest. The six places upon the scheme were assigned by
-competition upon the literary merits of the orations. Three of the six
speakers were furnished by our chapter, and. Brother Butler was awarded
the prize for a finely delivered oration upon " The Oratory of Daniel
Webster."

We initiated this term another member from '92, Brother Cholar, who
comes to us from Cornell. Two of our men play with the ball team this
year. Of the eight commencement honors, we received six, as follows :
Brothers Ford, second ; Weatherly, fourth ; Merrill, fifth ; Eyles, sixth ;
Roberts, seventh ; Mallory, eighth. William J. Eyles.

MARIETTA COLLEGE.

The trustees of the college have aroused the interest of the towns-
people in the project of building a new academy, which, when completed,
will probably prove a strong factor in the growth of the college. In her
general outlook, Marietta has a better prospect now than she has ever had
before ; while the founding of a Ladies' College, to commence in the Fall,
is all that is needed to complete the happiness of her students.

This term closes the twentieth year of our existence as a chapter of
Delta Upsilon. A retrospective view of our history discloses no evidence
of decline. As the Fraternity has grown and broadened, advancing
steadily toward higher ideals, we have kept abreast of her onward march,
and we are able to report ourselves, after our twenty years of membership,
.a prosperous chapter.

On our anniversary, the 23rd of April, we gave a reception at our hall
to the faculty and ladies, which passed off very pleasantly, but in view of
the fact that many of our alumni will be back at Commencement, the main
celebration has been postponed until that time. The full details have not
yet been arranged, but an effort will be made to have a more complete
celebration than has ever been held here by any fraternity, and we shall
be very glad to welcome the members of our sister chapters.

Arthur G. Beach.

236 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY.

The Chapter is still in good condition. She has lost none of her fra-
ternity zeal, although she has made no great advancements, and boasts
of no honors won. In fact, the faculty grant no prizes of any kind, the
commencement appointments being the only honors awarded for good
scholarship. At present, our athletes are diligently training for the State
Inter-collegiate Field day, to occur in this city on May 30, and in which
Rochester, Colgate, Hamilton, Union, Hobart and Syracuse will contend
for prizes.

The Harvard letter in the February Quarterly contains some
suggestions especially valuable to the chapters of Delta Upsilon in New
York State. As for our chapter, she, too, feels satisfied with her individual
position ; yet she also feels that she has very little acquaintance with
neighboring chapters, and that she practically understands none of their
methods of work. Were it not for occasional visits from brothers passings
through the city, we would feel as distant from some of our neighboring^
chapters as does Harvard from Amherst or Colby men. We believe
that most of the chapters in this State feel much as we do ; that they
have too little intercourse with each other. Can not our Fraternity be
made stronger by a system of inter-chapter visitation ? Could each
chapter send two or more brothers at least yearly to visit the neighboring
chapters, and in return be permitted to receive visitors from them, we
believe that we would increase both the interest in our own chapters and
create more enthusiasm for the Fraternity at large. In chapters situated
so near together as are these in central New York, the main objection to
such a scheme, namely, that of expense, need not be considered. While:
we cannot, by so doing, hope " to know every other " Delta U- in the
college world, yet we may form a fraternal friendship for many brothers,
and be made to love Delta U. more.

Our chapter has recently been visited by the following brothers : J. F.
Fitschen, Williams, '89; C. L. Walsworth, Syracuse, '89; J. Zartman,.
Syracuse, '7S; A. S. Knight, Colgate, '91 ; L. S. Chapman, Syracuse, '89^

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.

Of the 31 active chapter members, 14 hail from Michigan, 4 from Illi-
nois, 3 from Indiana, 2 each from New York. Ohio and Minnesota, and
1 each from New Jersey, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Washington. The
boys may be divided, as to religious preferences, into the following
groups : Methodists, 8 ; Presbyterians, 7 ; Congregationalists, 4 ; Bap-
tists, 4; Unitarians, 3; Episcopalians, 2; scattering, 3. Twenty-three
are Republicans ; 3 prohibitionists, and 5 Democrats or Mugwumps.

At one of our recent meetings the Freshman Annual was presented,
which has already become an established institution with Michigan^

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 237

Unlike their predecessors in '91 and '92, the Freshmen this year did not
attempt to enlighten the chapter on the destiny of man, fraternity policy,
function of education, etc., but restricted themselves entirely to " grinds,"
the patness and sharpness of which, evidenced the fact that '93 has a
strong bent for satire.

On the evening of April 25, another pleasant dancing party was given
at the house. The final hop of the season will occur some time in June. The
project of fitting up a dining-room and kitchen in the basement of the
-chapter house is being vigorously pushed and is likely to be successful.

Brother Nafe, '89, now in the law department, recently won the prize
offered by the Michigan Inter-collegiate Oratorical Association, for the
best speech on the subject of prohibition. George H. Snow.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

We were glad to see the subject of chapter programmes in the Mad-
ison letter of the last Quarterly. If this subject were thoroughly dis-
cussed, each chapter giving its method of passing the weekly meeting,
great good would result. It is evident that there is great diversity in
the manner in which different chapters carry on their meetings. We
usually have singing, declamation, essays or orations, extempore speeches,
debates, instrumental music of some kind, and occasionally an in-elaborate
play. We find it beneficial to have each class give in turn a programme.
This arouses good-natured emulation, and brings out ingenuity and vari-
ety. We are fully aware that Delta Upsilon is not a big literary society,
but as we are bound together for mutual improvement, we feel war-
ranted in considering of much importance the ability to write and
speak, knowing that one of the best powers a man can possess is to be
able to make others think as he thinks. It is no accident that we have
taken so many prizes. It is merely the law of cause and effect. The
literary societies here are about dead ; what training we receive must
come from the chapter. As a natural result of an inherent disinclination
to do anything not absolutely necessary, the programmes are " tabled "more
often than they ought to be. On an average this year we have had one
well prepared programme for every two meetings. Occasionally we have
merely a social time, with refreshments and singing, or sharpen our wits
in protracted business sessions in which the work accomplished is sur-
passed only by the knowledge of parliamentary law displayed. We have
rousing good times.

Since last writing we have lost one of the strongest men of the chapter,
and without doubt, the best athlete in college: Brother Ridgway, '91,
has gone to Yale. In the last Quarterly it was suggested that it is
about time that we have a chapter at Yale. The Fraternity now has a
fine opportunity, for Brother Ridgway has great organizing ability. We

238 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

expect him to take a high place in athletics there, at least playing on the
foot ball team. On the eve of his departure, we carved a small " dorg".'"
He leaves a vacancy that can scarcely be filled. Brother Hayes,
'93, is on the tug-of-war team, Champions of the Northwest. Brother
McDermott, '85, who is pursuing a special course in elocution, has
charge of that department in the Preparatory School. Brother Scott,
'90. took the Political Economy Prize, and Brother Walrath, '91, took the
first Gage Debate prize, which Brother Haggerty took last year. We are
glad to report another initiate, Wilbur Atkinson, '93, of Saybrook, 111.

Our tenth annual banquet was a great success. Over a hundred were
present, and thirteen chapters were represented. Brother Denny pre-
sided over the toasts, which were given by William B. Walrath, William
H. Foster, Herbert G. Leonard, the Hon. G. W. Kretzinger. and Judge
E. B. Sherman. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Wells B.
Sizer, Madison, '82, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. McClure, Western Resente, '76^
Prof, and Mrs. Ira W. Allen, LL. D., Hamilton, '50, Prof. George W.
Hough, Union, '56, Judge E. B. Sherman, Middlebury, '60, Parke E~
Simmons, Esq., Cornell, '81, Prof. Willard C. Clement, Colby, '84, George
Packard, Brown, '89; William E. Clarke Jr., Amherst, '89; Fred Arnd,
Amherst, '82 ; H. Ford Allen, Williams. '88 ; C. W. Kingsbury, Mari-
etta, '90; the Hon. G. W. Kretzinger, Union, '39; Edward M. Winston,
Esq., Harvard, '84; Mr. and Mrs. William H. Foster, '85; Frank Cook,
'85; Charles L. Rhodes, '84; Robert I. Fleming, '86; Eugene E. McDer-
mott, '85; Charles H. Brand, '87; Frank Middlekauff, '87; Arthur Patti-
son, '88 ; Forrest Beers, '89 ; Arthur Elmore, '89, of our chapter.

We were much pleased on University Day to find among the law
students Brothers Packard, Brown, '89, and Clarke, Amherst, '89. Hence-
forth .we will be able to report the Phi Beta Kappa keys, as a chapter of
that society is about to be established at Northwestern.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

Friday evening. May 16th, our annual initiation and banquet was held
in the chapter rooms. Twelve men were initiated, being the largest and
we think the best delegation the chapter has ever received. The regular
form of initiation was followed in full, including the distribution of cer-
tificates of membership, which made a very pleasant feature of the even-
ing. After cheers for the initiates, severally and as a whole, the company
proceeded to the banquet hall. Eighty-eight men sat down to the tables,
making, as all present said, the largest and most enthusiastic Delta U-
gathering ever seen outside of convention halls. After a spread, President
Blaney called the company to order and introduced the toast-master^
Brother Fisher. Toasts were responded to by the Rev. Wm. Elliot
Griffis, D.D., Rutgers, '69; Ellis J. Thomas, Williams, '88, Secretary

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 239-

of the Executive Council ; Frederick M. Crossett, New York, '84, editor of
the Quarterly; Frank G. Cook, Esq., Harvard. '82, one of thecharter
members of the chapter ; Clarence A. Bunker, Harvard, '89, President
of the recently organized "and energetic Graduate Club of the Harvard
Chapter, and by members of Williams, Amherst, Adelbert, Rutgers,
23rown, New York, Syracuse and Tufts. Every one was enthusiastic
over the prospects of the convention in Boston in 1891, to which we all
look forward with great interest, and the idea was well received as to-
celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Harvard Chapter, which occurs
next December. As there are now a large number of men in the chapter,
all enthusiastic and willing to work hard, the event should be a pleasant
one. \V e were glad to see so many of our alumni present, and we
received many encouraging letters from Delta U. men in Boston, who were
prevented from being present. Strict attention was given to the toasts,,
which were above the usual average of excellence on such occasions, and
at a late hour the company broke up with the Harvard cheer for the toast-
master, the visiting chapters, the prominent visitors and Harvard. The
eight Tufts men and twelve Brown men cheered in reply. Every one is
happy over the good time, and we look forward to a year of hard work
in arranging the details of the Convention for 1891.

Brothers Dow, Gulick, Page, Perry and Weeks are our Phi Beta
Kappa men in '90. In the provisional assignment of commencement.
parts, Brothers Blaney, Pond, Sands and Fiske have disquisitions indicat-
ing a probable degree cum laude ; Brothers Dow, Perry, Roberts and
Page have dissertations indicating a probable degree magna cum laude ;
and Brothers Gulick and Weeks have orations, indicating a probable
degree summa cum laude. Only seven men in the class of '90 have

COLUMBIA COLLEGE.

Our social career this year has been unusually brilliant, and has raised
to a high pitch our spirits for the spring contests. At the musicale given
on March 7th, at which Brother Adams, Marietta, '77, so distinguished
himself by his musical ability and by the rendering of his new Delta
Upsilon York, we had the pleasure of entertaining over a hundred of our

fair friends and admirers. The new feature of our weekly meetings,
which consists of two brothers acting as hosts at a small spread, has met
with great success. This term we have been taking lunch at the club-
house, which is near the college building. This*custom brings us together
more, and adds one to the many advantages of our fraternity life.

Our initiates have proven themselves " of the proper sort," and are
doing us great credit. Our track athletes are doing fine work " smashing "
■college records and getting themselves into trim for the Inter-collegiate
games, in which we will be represented in at least four events. We are
also well represented on the crews and in base ball, having five men on
the Freshmen nine.

Brother Travis, '91, is bringing us honor through one of the leading
parts in the Dramatic Club. Brother Warburton, '90, was on the yearly
Joint Debate, and won first prize. Brother Penfield will read the class
history on Class Day, and Brother Warburton the class prophecy. Both
of the last named brothers are on the committee for the graduating class
dinner, of which committee Brother Penfield is the chairman.

LEHIGH UNIVERSITY.

The chapter mourns the loss of two of her charter members. Brother
Otway Owen Terrell died on October 13, 1889, and Brother George
Arthur Ruddle, on March 13th, 1890; both of them men, body and
soul, loved and respected by all who knew them, eminently successful in
their start in life since graduation, promising to make marks for themselves
and to bring honor to the Fraternity. Brother Ruddle graduated with
the class of '86, taking the degree of Ph. B. In September of the same
year he accepted the position of tutor in mathematics at Selwyn Hall,
Reading, Pa., and early in 1889 became acting head-master at that well
known school. Later in the same year he accepted the position of Prin-
cipal of the Cumberland, Md., High School. He died of typhoid fever at
his home in Mauch Chunk, after an illness of but two weeks.

Aside from these sad memories, the chapter has passed a profitable
year. As usual we have been well represented in all departments of col-
lege life ; on the Junior Epitome board, in the Engineering Society, the
Chemical Society, the Natural Science Society, the Classical Club and the
Mining Club — not only having membership, but in most cases holding
office. At the Winter meeting of the Lafayette College Athletic Asso-
ciation, Brother Warriner carried off first prizes in the pole vault and in
the running high jump. At the Winter meeting of the Lehigh Athletic
Association, Brother Kramer, '92, took first in the light weight wrestling.
Brother McCaskey, '93, is the Lacrosse manager for his class. Brother
Paine is on the committee for awarding the Burr medal for excellency in

Lacrosse. At the musical entertainment held recently in the Fountain
Hill Opera House, Delta U. k was represented in the Glee Club, and Banjo
and Guitar Club. Brother Van Cleve, '90, and Brother Fink, '90, have
received appointments for Commencement.

We are proud to announce to Delta U. an acquisition we have lately
made, in the initiation, at the house of Brother Adams, of two charming
young ladies — loyal to Delta U. they have always been, and now by their
vows so they will ever remain. It is unfortunate that we must withhold
names, but such is the case. We merely mention the fact, however, as
an additional inducement for any brother passing this way to stop over
and see us. Charles W. Platt.

DE PAUW UNIVERSITY.

At the organization of the De Pauw Athletic Association, Brother F.
M. Smith was elected President. Brother Smith was also a delegate to
the meeting of the Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association of Indiana, held
at Indianapolis. Owing to factional disturbances, it is probable that
The Adz y the college newspaper, which has been supported hitherto by
all the elements in the University, will be controlled next year by Phi
Gamma Delta, Delta Tau Delta and Delta Upsilon.

Brother Best, '90, has been compelled to leave college on account of
sickness. The Chapter regrets very much his absence. He is at present
at Riverside, Cal. Brother Mecham, '93, is out of college this term, but
will return next year. Brother Caldwell, '91, has returned to the Univer-
sity and resumed his work with his class.

The administration of Dr. John is giving satisfaction to all connected
with the University. Preparations are being made for his formal inaugu-
ration at Commencement. William O. Bowers.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.

Our spring term has passed with the usual routine regularity, and I
am sure were it not for our brotherhood in Delta U. we should find
that routine growing extremely monotonous. Our regular weekly meet-
ings have been well attended, and we feel all the more the strength of
the bond that holds us together. The matter of regular attendance at
meetings is one that cannot be too urgently pressed. There is nothing
which so tends to separate men at such a college as ours, as a volun-
tary neglect of the few opportunities which are given us. The dormi-
tory system being impracticable here, at least for the present, renders the
students of the University of Pennsylvania especially liable to the
estrangement consequent on their almost entire disassociation. Rumor,
however, gives us some *,hope for the future in that direction, it being
even asserted that the site of the coming dormitories has already been
decided upon. Arthur C. Thomson.

WILLIAMS COLLEGE.

'38. The Rev. Francis Williams, of Chaplin, Conn., preached a ser-
mon, February 23, on the thirty-second anniversary of his settlement in
that place. Only four Congregational ministers in the State have had so
long a settlement in their present fields of labor. It is often alleged that
religion is declining in our rural towns. Is this, if true, owing to the
frequent changes in their ministers? What is the record when long
pastorates occur? When Mr. Williams was installed, the ratio of church
members was as one-sixth to the inhabitants of the town ; now it is as one-
fourth. The union between pastor and people has always been most
cordial. — Christian at Work.

class of 1 88 1. There were many competitors for the prize, both in
Europe and America, including names well-known in the world of Bib-
lical study. The award was made by Professors Harper and Crandall,
of Yale. Mr. Duncan was graduated from Princeton Theological Sem-
inary in 1888, with the highest honors, receiving among other prizes the
*' Green Hebrew fellowship," upon which he will soon go to Berlin to
pursue advanced Biblical investigations. As a Semetic scholar, Mr.
Duncan has already taken high rank, and his fellowship thesis on " The
Unity and Authorship of Leviticus," is considered a very fine piece of
higher Biblical criticism. A few months ago he was elected a member

recently delivered an address on " The Chemistry of Farming," before

" The subject, at first glance, might deter many who know little of the
science quoted in the title from reading the address, but Professor Voor-
hees has divested it of the technical terms used in the laboratory, and
treats it in the ordinary language that any practical farmer would use in
talking to another about his every-day work. He has succeeded in pre-
senting the matter in a manner that will be highly acceptable to every one
engaged in agricultural pursuits.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA.

The university of Minnesota is Delta Upsilon's latest bride.
Not only is she one of those healthy and robust Western
maidens whose cheeks are glowing with the enthusiasm of
youth, but also one whose growth is so phenomenally rapid
as to suggest awkward short dresses and uncomfortable tight
bodices. In the college annual of the class of '89, only a year
ago, there appeared an article pretending to be descriptive of
the university. This recited the departments of instruction,
gave the number of the buildings, and said somewhere near
the close that there were between four and five hundred
students. But before the ambitious publication was fairly off
the press a comprehensive law school was about ready to be
inaugurated; one new handsome building was well-nigh com-
pleted, as well as a second one started, and what was more
remarkable still, the number of students had increased away out
of harmony even with the somewhat flexible estimate of the
Gopher's historian. But the boys were not to blame for that.
They did the best they could, although their best endeavors
were weak as compared with the onward march of the college.

260 DKLTA UPS1LOX QUARTERLY.

The University of Minnesota, like most Western institutions
of learning, is both fortunately and unfortunately a part of
the State educational system, having been endowed in the first
place by the general government. Any institution regularly
dependent upon a State legislature for its working pap is very
much like the Mother Hubbard of our nursery rhymes, whose
bare cupboard struck misery in the heart, or rather stomach,
of her ravenous dog. The only hope in such cases is that
wealthy private citizens will replenish the cupboard and
revive the drooping spirits of Poor Towser. Thanks to the
whole-souled generosity of an ex-governor of the State, the
Hon. John S. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, this is now being
done in the case of the University of Minnesota. For some
little time, therefore, there is no reason why her dresses need
be immodestly short.

The university is situated in the city o*f Minneapolis, on
the eastern bank of the Mississippi river, nearly a mile below
the historic, but now very practical Falls of St. Anthony, — the
same that Father Louis Hennepin in 1645 blessed and named
after his patron saint, Anthony of Padua. The campus covers
a space of about forty-five acres and offers unusually fine
opportunities for beautification. The number of students is
now a few over one thousand. Including the lecturers in law
and medicine the faculty numbers 117. There are twenty-
seven regular professors, seventeen lecturers in the law de-
partment, including the dean ; forty-eight in the college of
medicine, including the departments of homeopathy and den-
tistry ; eleven professors and instructors at the agricultural
experiment station, and some four or five miscellaneous teach-
ers, including a professor of military science. Tuition is free,,
except in law and medicine, a fee of $5 a year for incidental
expenses being the only charge. That may account in large
measure for the marvellous increase in attendance, but. superior
advantages in instruction, one may be sure, have constituted the
fundamental sources of strength. Poor fly-paper, though it
may be given away, will not catch flies. The university con-
sists, at the present time, of a college of science, literature and
arts, in which there are three courses of study, called classical,,
scientific and literary ; a college of agriculture and a college

THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA. 263

of mechanic arts, with courses in civil, mechanical, electrical
and mining engineering (provisions for these last two colleges
having been expressly stipulated in the land grant of the
general government, as at Cornell and elsewhere) ; a college
of medicine and a college of law. The law department is ex-
ceptionally strong and is described at length by Dean Pattee
in the April number of the Green Bag. Post-graduate instruc-
tion, for students of her own or other colleges, is also provided.
The library contains about 25,000 volumes. The museums
embrace very gratifying collections of geological, mineralog-
ical, zoological and other specimens, the geological and
natural history survey of the State being fortunately in
charge of the university. The buildings number seven, the
latest acquisitions being as handsome and appropriate speci-
mens of architecture as can be found anywhere. There is a
main or academic building of stone, 168 feet in length and
90 feet in breadth, in which many of the recitations are held
and the chapel service conducted. The college of mechanic
arts building is of red brick with brown stone trimmings,
comprising two stories and a basement, twenty rooms in all,
including drawing-rooms and laboratories. But by far the
most imposing and best equipped building is the science hall
and museum, which has only lately been erected at a cost of
$150,000. This is the noble gift of ex-Gov. John S. Pillsbury.
Rich brown stone is the material, and the edifice extends 245
feet in length, and is 70 feet in breadth. A law building, 80
by 140 feet, of Roman brick, is also a late acquisition. Near-
by is the handsome little brown stone chapel of the Students*
Christian Association. A new $100,000 chemical and physical
laboratory, 190 feet front, has been building during the year
and will be ready for occupancy in the Fall. A military
building, called the Coliseum, on account of its amphi-theat-
rical form, is situated a little distance north of the main
university building. It is used for military instruction, being
the largest drill hall in the country. It is put to good advan-
tage at the time of the commencement exercises, being
capable of seating 3,500 people. Still anotiier building on
the campus is the old agricultural college, containing several
laboratories and class rooms. The new agricultural college

and the experimental farm are about two miles east of the
university in the direction of St. Paul. The latter consists of
250 acres, on which is also a cosy farm-house and other
buildings. The entire surroundings are almost ideal from an
agricultural point of view.

How different all this from the doubtful beginnings of
the university ! It was in February of 185 1 that the territorial
legislature passed a law providing for the establishment of the
University of Minnesota. A few days later Congress appro-
priated land for its support, but in view of the paucity of set-
tlers, as well as their poverty this " horoscopic " provision
seemed a hollow mockery. In 1851, however, a preparatory
department was opened, and in 1856 the south wing of the
present main building was erected. The panic of 1857 left the
building unoccupied for several years, and the Civil War turned
attention away from the institution. But in 1864, the legisla-
ture appointed a committee with full power to sell the property
and pay debts, and so wisely did the committee work that in
1867 they were able to report all the indebtedness liquidated
by the sale of lands. In October, 1867, the preparatory
department w T as again opened with three teachers, and in the
summer of 1869 a faculty of nine gentlemen entered upon the
work of the college proper.

The president of the university from 1869 to 1884 was Wil-
liam W. Folwell, LL.D., who is now the professor of political
science and the librarian of the university. The present
" prexy " is Cyrus Northrop, LL.D., a graduate of Yale, and
a very able administrator. He is surrounded by one of the
strongest faculties that can be found in any college of similar
size in this country. Instruction is offered to both young men
and young women, and the students flock to the halls of learn-
ing from all over Minnesota and neighboring States. The
present roll of fraternities includes Beta Theta Pi, 1889 ; Chi
Psi, 1874; Delta Kappa Epsilon, 1889 ; Delta Tau Delta, 1883 ;
Phi Gamma Delta, 1890 ; Phi Kappa Psi, 1888, and Sigma Chi,
1888. Psi Upsilon is to enter shortly and it may be before
this issue appears has "swung" a local society, known as
Theta Phi. The sororities are Kappa Kappa Gamma, 1880 ;
Delta Gamma, 1882 ; and Kappa Alpha Theta, 1889.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA. 267

Among the graduates of the class of 1861, at Hamilton
College, were seven Delta U.'s. They were all members of
Phi Beta Kappa, and included the valedictorian and saluta-
torian. One of them is Attorney-General W. H. H. Miller,
and another, the Hon. David L. Kiehle, LL.D., is the valued
secretary of the Board of Regents of the University of M inne-
sota. Professor Kiehle was superintendent of Minnesota
schools during i869-'75, member of the board of Directors
of the State Normal School, i87o-'75, Principal of the St.
Cloud State Normal School, i875-'8i, and since then has
been State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

There are two loyal Delta U. professors in the University of
Minnesota. One is Christopher VV. Hall, M. A., Middlebury y
'71, professor of geology, mineralogy and biology. He was
born in Wardsboro, Vt., and graduated from Middlebury Col-
lege in 187 1. In 1872 he came to Minnesota, and after teach-
ing three years went to Germany, where he pursued the study
of the natural sciences at the University of Leipzig. He
entered upon his work at the University of Minnesota in 1878.
Professor Hall has been assistant geologist on the geological
and natural history survey of Minnesota, and during the last
few years has been engaged on the work of the United States
geological survey. His energy, conscientiousness and high
ability in this particular field are as well established as his
geniality and sincerity toward friends.

Professor John G. Moore, is a graduate of Cornell, class of
'73. He was born in Schney, Germany, coming to this coun-
try in 1861, and at the outset bravely throwing himself into
the breach of the war of the rebellion. He served in Com-
pany K, 184th New York Volunteers, until the war closed.
During 1866, '67 and '68 he was preparing for college in the
Mexico Academy, Oswego Co., N. Y. After graduating from
Cornell he spent two years as professor of German at the
Trumansburg Academy, Tompkins, N. Y., whence he came
to the University of Minnesota as professor of German. He
has been a member of the Board of Education of Minnesota
since 1886. Professor Moore is personally very popular, being
whole-souled and honorable to the highest degree. His home
is a delightful semi-rural retreat midway between St. Paul and
Minneapolis, about a mile east of the University.

EDWARD LEAMINGTON NICHOLS.

Edward Leamington Nichols, whom we add this week to
the series of Electrical World portraits, is the son of the late
Edward W. Nichols, of New York city, and was born thirty-
six years ago. His father was a well-known landscape painter,
and it was, therefore, owing mainly to his natural bent that
the son turned to science. He was prepared for college at
the Peekskill Military Academy, and entered Cornell Uni-
versity in 187 1, at the age of seventeen. Here he studied
under Prof. W. A. Anthony, now President of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers, and then at the opening of
his long and successful career in the chair which his pupil,
Nichols, was to be called upon to fill fifteen years later.

After graduating from Cornell, in 1875, Mr. Nichols went
to Germany to continue his studies in physics. He first spent
a year at Leipzig under the Weidemanns, father and son, and
then went to Berlin, at that time the Mecca of students of
physics, owing to the presence there of both Kirchhoff and
Helmholtz, two of the greatest of physicists. Two years were
passed in the laboratory of Professor von Helmholtz, and
then part of another year under Professor Listing, of Gottingen.
Here Mr. Nichols received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy,
and immediately afterward he was appointed fellow in physics
at Johns Hopkins University, and returned to America to
work in the laboratory of Professor Rowland.

In 1880 Professor Nichols joined the Edison forces at
Menlo Park, being engaged chiefly upon the problems con-
nected with the testing of incandescent lamps until he received
the appointment of professor of physics and chemistry in
Central University, Richmond, Ky. From there he went to
the University of Kansas, at Lawrence, where he developed
plans for establishing a course of electrical engineering.
Similar steps had been taken at Cornell, and when, in 1887,
Prof. Anthony resigned his chair to enter the field of com-
mercial electricity, Prof. Nichols was promptly sought by the
authorities of his alma mater to fill the vacancy.

Prof. Nichols is the author of about 40 papers and memoirs,
chiefly upon experimental physics, which have appeared in

274 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

the Annalen tier Physik und Chimie, the Philosophical Magazine \
The Electrical World, the American Journal of Science ', Nature >
and the Transactions of the several scientific societies.

There are not many men connected with the electrical
progress witnessed during the past ten years in this country
who have been fortunate enough to unite a thorough theoret-
ical training with such valuable practical experience in com-
mercial laboratories as Professor Nichols has had ; and a
survey of the different electrical departments that have sprung^
up in the universities of America will show few that have had
the good fortune to secure the services of two such good
electrical instructors as Messrs. Anthony and Nichols. Cor-
nell has found a worthy successor to a worthy pioneer.

It is interesting to note that much of Mr. Nichols earlier
work was on general physical subjects, optics being a matter
to which he devoted considerable attention ; and his thorough,
mastery of this branch of higher mathematics perhaps assisted
in developing a bent of mind capable of turning with ease
and certainty to the more practical fields of applied electricity..

WHA T MY LOVER SAID.

By the merest chance, in the twilight gloom,

In the orchard path he met me ;
In the tall, wet grass, with its faint perfume,
And I tried to pass, but he made no room,

Oh I tried, but he would not let me.
So I stood and blushed till the grass grew red,

With my face bent down above it,
While he took my hand as he whispering said —
(How the clover lifted each pink, sweet head,
To listen to all that my lover said ;

Oh, the clover in bloom, I love it ! )

In the high, wet grass went the path to hide,.

And the low, wet leaves hung over ;
But I could not pass upon either side,
For I found myself, when I vainly tried,

In the arms of my steadfast lover.

WHAT MY LOVER SAID. 275

And he held me there and he raised my head,

While he closed the path before me,
And he looked down into my eyes and said —
(How the leaves bent down from the boughs o'er head,
To listen to all that my lover said,

Oh, the leaves hanging lowly o'er me !)

Had he moved aside but a little way,

I could surely then have passed him ;
And he knew I never could wish to stay,
And would not have heard what he had to say,

Could I only aside have cast him.
It was almost dark, and the moments sped,

And the searching night wind found us,
But he drew me nearer and softly said —
(How the pure, sweet wind grew still, instead^
To listen to all that my lover said ;

Oh, the whispering wind around us !)

I am sure he knew when he held me fast,

That I must be all unwilling ;
For I tried to go, and I would have passed,
As the night was come with its dew, at last,

And the sky with its stars was" filling.
But he clasped me close when I would have fled r

And he made me hear his story,
And his soul came out from his lips and said —
(How the stars crept out where the white moon led r
To listen to all that my lover said ;

Oh, the moon and the stars in glory !)

I know that the grass and the leaves will not tell,.

And I'm sure that the wind, precious rover,,
Will carry my secret so safely and well

That no being shall ever discover
One word of the many that rapidly fell

From the soul-speaking lips of my lover ;

And the moon and the stars that looked over-
Shall never reveal what a fairy-like spell
They wove round about us that night in the dell,.

In the path through the dew laden clover,
Nor echo the whispers that made my heart swell

As they fell from the lips of my lover.

Homer Greene, Union, '76.

OLD WORDS TO YOUNG WRITERS.

SECOND ARTICLE.

If, after reading my first article, you took proper thought,
you must have added several cubits to its length. Following
the line there indicated, you would quickly arrive at the con-
clusion that you should not speak of "voicing sentiments " or
"wiring messages," that you should not write "cut" when
you mean engraving ; or "ad." when you mean advertisement,
and that nothing must ever be "stated" if it can be said.
This last rule is simple and invariable. You state the conditions
of a problem, but you say that you cannot solve it ; you state
the terms of a contract, but you say that the contract was
broken. One principle in the choice of words might not be
suggested by anything that we have said thus far ; this is,
when a word has been overworked, let it alone. Perhaps the
most striking current instance of a word that was good until
it was overworked is furnished by " delicious." That
word has been so much used and so misused in the past
ten years that it has almost ceased to have any significance.
We should lay it on the shelf for a few years, with " perfect "
and " awful." These are errors of speech, rather than of
writing. An instance of a word that is constantly used erro-
neously, or at least unnecessarily, in print, but seldom orally,
may be seen in " however." It would be weary work to count
the sentences in which " however " is introduced, with a
comma before it and. one after it. In nearly every instance
the " however " should be struck out, and but or yet written at
the beginning of the sentence or clause. Avoid all unneces-
sary use of " there " as a word of euphony. I have seen
stamped on a book cover, as a motto this, translated from
Plato : " There can no evil befall a good man." It seems
incredible that the clumsiness of this did not at once suggest
to the translator that he ought to write instead, " No evil can
befall a good man."

When the writer has chosen the proper words to express
his idea, obviously his next task is to determine their best
arrangement in the sentence. Of several arrangements, the

OLD WORDS TO YOUNG WRITERS. 277

one that requires the least punctuation is almost always the
best. This is especially important in writing a telegram, for
the telegraph can never be trusted to transmit punctuation.
Take this example: " The dog, with the basket in his mouth,
ran away." If the two commas should be accidentally omitted,
the sentence would be made to mean that, of several dogs,
that one which had a basket in his mouth was the one that
ran away. The better form for the sentence is, " The dog ran
away with the basket in his mouth," which requires no punctu-
ation but a period at the end. Some ingenious person years
ago showed that in the third line of Gray's " Elegy " —

" The ploughman homeward plods his weary way " —

the words can be arranged in nineteen ways, and say the
same thing every time. Grammatically, perhaps, they do say
the same thing with each of those arrangements ; but rhetori-
cally they do not. For instance, if we place the word "home-
ward " at the beginning of the line — Homeward the ploughman
plods his weary way — we say grammatically the same thing
that Gray says, but rhetorically we make u homeward " em-
phatic, as if we wished to call the reader's attention specially
to the direction in which the ploughman is going — toward
home, not toward the field. Under some circumstances it
might be desirable to do this, as a method of indicating to the
reader that the time is evening, not morning. But as Gray
has already, in his opening line, told us that it is evening,
the word " homeward " has no special importance, and he
properly gives it the least conspicuous place in the line. In
short, if all the possible arrangements of the line are studied,
it will be found that Gray has chosen exactly the right one.

A fine instance of the effective use of an apparently violent
twist in a sentence is furnished by De Quincey. After reciting
a singular anecdote, he writes : " Me the story caused to laugh
exceedingly." Had he written, " The story caused me to
laugh exceedingly," no comparison of any kind would have
been suggested, no speculation beyond the effect on himself.
But by placing "me" at the beginning of the sentence, and
thus compelling the reader to emphasize it, he makes seven
words say : " I do not know what effect this story would have

278 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

had upon you, or upon people generally — perhaps you would
have discovered nothing ridiculous in it — but it caused me to
laugh exceedingly."

A writer should observe the different effects produced by
an adverb or adverbial clause when placed in different parts
of a sentence, and should alwavs bear this in mind when
revising his manuscript. Such sentences as this are common
in careless cyclopaedia work : "In 1850 he emigrated to the
United States, and remained there ten years." Of course he
could not remain anywhere ten years in 1850 ; and the comma
after " States" does not help the matter, though the slipshod
writer thinks it does. The sentence should read : " He emi-
grated to the United States in 1850, and remained there ten
years." If the writer has some special reason for wishing to
place the date at the beginning of the sentence, he may do so,
but in that case he must repeat the subject of the verb, thus :
" In 1850 he emigrated to the United States, and he remained
there ten years." Generally, the true place for the adverb
is after the verb that it qualifies, especially when the adverb
is the emphatic word. The little sign displayed in shops of
various kinds, " Orders promptly attended to," should read,
" Orders attended to promptly." Everybody supposes the
shopkeeper will attend to orders in some fashion, that is im-
plied in the very existence of the shop ; what he wants to
impress upon customers is, that he is prompt, and he should
therefore put " promptly " at the end of his sign, not in the
middle.

There is a similar conventional error in the title-pages of
certain books — "Privately printed." In our day, all books
are printed. The object of this legend is not to inform us
that the book is printed, which we can see without being told,
but that the work is done privately — not published. The
legend therefore should be " Printed privately." A large
portion of the energy expended by many people in demon-
strating, by full-breathed emphasis, which are the important
words of their sentences, might be saved if they would give
the words their proper places. Speech would thus be made
at once gentler and more forcible.

One of the best general rules for the collocation of a sen-

OLD WORDS TO YOUNG WRITERS. 279

tence is, to keep together the words that belong together.
This rule is none the less excellent because it is almost con-
stantly violated by a writer so skillful as Macaulay. He seems
to take infinite pains to separate the auxiliary from the
principal verb as often as possible, when he ought to take
infinite pains to keep them together. Open his works at
random, and you can hardly fail to come upon examples.
Here are two : " The castle had in 1686 been almost uninhab-
itable." " His march left on the face of the country traces
which the most careless eye could not during many years fail
to discern." Our auxiliary verbs take the place of terminations
in other languages, because ours is largely undeclinable ; and
these auxiliaries have the same force and meaning as the
terminations in declinable languages — no more and no less.
Hence, in the first of the two sentences just quoted, " had "
and " been " form together essentially and logically but one
word, and therefore they should never be separated unneces-
sarily. The sentence should read, "The castle had been
almost uninhabitable in 1686." Or, if the author wishes to
emphasize the uninhabitableness as much as possible, he
should write, "In 1686 the castle had been almost uninhabit-
able." In the second of the two quoted sentences, the words
** could not fail," form together essentially one word, and they
ought not to have been separated. The sentence should have
been, " His march left on the face of the countrv traces which
for many years the most careless eye could not fail to dis-
cern."

When you revise a manuscript, look sharply to see if all
the scaffolding has been taken down. By " scaffolding "
I mean thoughts that must and should pass through your
mind as you write, but that ought not to appear on the paper.
For instance, if you are discussing a theme that is divided
into several heads or questions, when you have finished with
the first, the thought must pass through your mind, " It is
now time for me to consider the second question." But do
not write that sentence on the paper ; say it to yourself, but
not to your reader. From the fact that you enter upon the
discussion of the second question, he may be trusted to infer
that you thought it time. Sometimes classic writers leave

I

280 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

portions of scaffolding in their finest works. Thus Hallam,
in his "Middle Ages" (chapter viii, part i) : "In such an
historical deduction of the English government as I have
attempted, an institution so peculiarly characteristic deserves
every attention to its origin ; and I shall, therefore, produce
the evidence which has been supposed to bear upon this most
eminent part of our judicial system." This whole sentence is
mere scaffolding. Hallam should have gone ahead at once
with his evidence, leaving to the reader the easy task of infer-
ring that he produced it because the subject was important.
Generally, all such expressions as " it may here be mentioned,"
" it is proper to explain," etc., are scaffolding ; and wherever
they are discovered in a manuscript or a proof, they should
be relentlessly cut out. For a similar reason, when you begin
a sentence with " Now " (the thought in your mind being, that
this is the turning-point of the argument), though it may be
desirable in an oral address, you will find that the word can
almost always be omitted from the written discourse with no
loss of clearness and with a gain in elegance. So also of the
expression "no less than," the idea in your mind being that
you are mentioning an unusual quantity — which the reader
would probably find out for himself.

LIMITATION.

" Bind the sweet influences of Pleiades,"

Restrain the virgin Spring from growing old,
And keep this lusty verdure on the trees;

Or put thy foot upon the Lake and hold
One moonlight wave that sparkles as it flees ;

Forbid the lover's ardor to grow cold ;
Restore the poet's paling fire with gold.

Thou canst not do a single thing of these.

For earth and man are creatures of a mood,

Each to the other's features is a glass.
And, knowing well the season's finitude,

And knowing that our fervors fail — alas ! —
E'en as the vernal foliage of the wood

Or as the regal splendor of the grass,
We fear that o'er God's heart some change must pass,

And dream that he doth sometimes tire of good.

THE MINNESOTA CHAPTER.

Delta Upsilon has entered the University of Minnesota and
fifteen sturdy, aggressive and able young men proudly bear
her banner aloft. The auspicious event took place Friday
evening, May 23, at the West Hotel, in Minneapolis, and was
in every way a credit to the Fraternity. The welcome news
that all the chapters had given their consent was announced
one week before in a letter from Secretary E. J. Thomas of
the Executive Council, and the committee appointed by the
Council to attend to the arrangements went to work at once.
These gentlemen were Carman N. Smith, Esq., Michigan, '83,
of Minneapolis ; Alfred R. Moore of St. Paul, a student in the
law school of the state university, and formerly Harvard '91,
and Edward B. Barnes, Cornell, '88, of Minneapolis. Corres-
pondence was entered into with the University of Wisconsin,
a delegate from which chapter was necessary to perform the
initiation. The result was a courtly ambassador in the per-
son of Frederick H. Whitton, of the class of '89. Mr. Whitton
upon arriving in Minneapolis on Thursday, May 22, met the
proposed initiates personally through Mr. Moore, and at once
entered into the spirit of the movement with undergraduate-
like enthusiasm. Previously invitations had been mailed to
all the alumni throughout the State as well as in Minneapolis
and St. Paul, urging their attendance upon the ceremonies.
Owing to the brief interval between the time the invitations
were received and the date of initiation, many regrets were
received. However, eighteen interested and loyal Delta U's
responded and lent substantial aid and encouragement to the
initiates. Those who came were :

C. W. Ames, Cornell, '78 ; A. R. Moore, Harvard, '91 ; E. S.
Chittenden, Rochester, '65 ; Prof. G. N. Carman, Michigan, '81,
St. Paul ; Prof. L. H. Batchelder, Middlebury, '74, Hamline
University ; A. C. Heath, Madison, '79, Buffalo, Minnesota ;
Prof. Frank T. Wilson, Cornell, '8i, Stillwater, Minnesota ; C.
J. Smith, Wisconsin, '89, West Superior, Wisconsin ; John T.
Baxter, Williams, '86 ; C. H. Childs, Michigan, '82 ; W. B. Cham-
berlain, Michigan, '84 ; Carman N. Smith, Michigan, '83 ; Prof.

282 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

C. W. Hall, Middlebury, '71 ; Prof. J. G. Moore, Cornell, '73 ; D.
W. Knowlton, Colby, '83 ; H. M. Parker, Middlebury, '80 ; E. B.
Barnes, Cornell, '%%, of Minneapolis ; and Frederick Whitton,
Wisconsin, '89, of Madison, Wisconsin.

The initiation ceremonies were conducted in the club-room
of the West hotel, and the banquet was served in the ladies'
ordinary adjoining. Brother Frederick Whitton, of Wisconsin,
presided and initiated the candidates ; Brother E. B. Barnes,
acting as secretary. The candidates, who had previously been
shown into the club-room to meet the alumni, first retired and
then, when the alumni had taken seats in the rear of the room,
the former were ushered in to meet the traditional "goat."
The first part of the simple, yet impressive ceremonies of the
Delta Upsilon initation was recited smoothly by Brother
Whitton, and was followed by an address to the initiates by
Brother W. B. Chamberlain, Michigan, '84. Mr. Chamberlain
touched upon the importance of the occasion and described
clearly and forcibly the kind of men the Fraternity needed for
its standard bearers. He urged the initiates not to falter from
the high standard that had been set, and pledged them the
loyal encouragement of the Minnesota alumni. Following the
address the pledge was then impressively administered by
Brother Whitton, and the right hand of fellowship extended by
the alumni. Handsome pins were placed upon the breasts of
the men, and when everything that was necessary had been
done the enthusiasm of the occasion found vent in the stirring
song, " Vive La Delta U." The fifteen men made a fine
appearance, impressing all with the fact that they were the
material of which sound, loyal and able Delta U.'s, were to be
made.

Of the eight Seniors all but one are to return to the univer-
sity next September to enter the colleges of law and medicine.
The prospects for the successful growth and prosperity of the
chapter are the brightest.

The banquet, which was served at the close of the initiation,
was a happy affair, but a little hurried by reason of the anx-
iety of the St. Paul representatives to catch the last train to
St. Paul. Plates were laid for thirtv-two and the menu was
served in eight courses of the choicest game and delicacies of

the season. Delta U. songs were sung with much spirit by an
impromptu quartette, composed of Chamberlain, Childs and
Knowlton of the alumni, and Chowen, '91, of the new chap-
ter. Carman N. Smith, Michigan, '83, did the honors as toast-
master and between courses read congratulatory telegrams to
the baby chapter from the Executive Council, the Quarterly,
the Alumni Information Bureau, and the Cornell, Union, Mid-
dlebury, Hamilton, Madison, Michigan, Brown, Dc Pauw, Lehigh,
Colby and Syracuse chapters. Letters of regret from alumni,
who could not be present were also read. The toasts followed
the menu, the subjects being set forth on delicate menu cards
^containing also the names of the initiates. The cards were
bound together by stitching of old gold and blue silk, and on
the cover was an embossed stamp representing a nest of infant
birds fathered by the parent, the idea being to draw a com-
parison between the baby chapter nurtured by the Minnesota
Delta Upsilon alumni association. The toasts with those who
responded to them were as follows :

" Delta Upsilon," Prof. C. W. Hall, Middlebury, '71 ; "The
University," Prof. John G. Moore, Cornell, '73; "Our Alum-
ni," Prof. Frank T. Wilson, Cornell, '81 ; " College Fraterni-
ties," David W. Knowlton, Esq., Colby, '83 ; "Teachers in Delta
U.," Prof. George N. Carman, Michigan, '8i ; "Our College
Days," Arthur C. Heath, Madison, '79 ; " D. U. in the Law," John
T. Baxter, Williams, '87 ; D. U. in the Ministry." Clarence H.
Childs, Michigan, '82 ; " Our Initiates," Albert W. Shaw,
Minnesota, '90.

Professor Wilson was substituted for the Hon. D. L.
Kiehle, LL.D., State superintendent of public instruction,
.and a loyal D. U. of Hamilton, '61, who was out of the city.
Mr. Heath spoke for Mr. Ames, who was obliged to catch the
late train for St. Paul, and Mr. Childs represented the Rev.
Samuel J. Rogers, Rutgers, '59, on the toast list, the latter hav-
ing found it impossible to be present. Professor Moore was
•obliged to withdraw from the banquet on account of sick-
ness and his toast was not responded to. Following the regu-
lar toasts impromptu ones were demanded of Brothers Smith,
of Wisconsin, '89 ; Parker, Middlebury % '80 ; and Barnes, Cornell,
"88. The festivities closed with appropriate advice to the

initiates from the toastmaster, Carman N. Smith, together
with three cheers for the new chapter, the Fraternity, and the
hearty singing of " Vive La Delta U."

THE MINNESOTA ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

Soon after the organization of the Minnesota Delta Upsilon
association, a circular letter, reading as follows, was sent out by
the corresponding secretary to the alumni throughout the State,
the addresses of whom were furnished by the editor of the
Quarterly.

Minneapolis 1 Minn., April 29, 1890.

Dear Sir and Brother:— At a meeting of alumni of the Delta
Upsilon Fraternity, held at the West Hotel, in Minneapolis, on the even-
ing of April 19th, a re-organization of an old alumni association was
effected with the following officers :

President, W. B. Chamberlain, Michigan, '84, of Minneapolis ; Vice-
Presidents, Prof. C. W. Hall, Middlebury, '71, Minneapolis, and Prof.
George N. Carman, Michigan, '8i, St. Paul; Corresponding Secretary,
Edward B. Barnes, Cornell, '88, Minneapolis ; Recording Secretary, Car-
man N. Smith, Michigan, '83, Minneapolis.

There were present in addition to the above the following :

The Rev. S. J. Rogers, Rutgers, '59, of Minneapolis; the Rev. T. G.
Field, Brown, '70, Minneapolis ; Frank K. Pratt, Brown, '77, Minneapolis ;
Hazen M. Parker, Middlebury, '80, Minneapolis ; James M. Thompson,
Michigan, '83, Minneapolis ; David W. Knowlton, Colby, '83, Minneapo-
lis ; Alden H. Potter, Michigan, '83, Minneapolis.

The organization will be known as The Minnesota Delta Upsilon
Association, and the purpose is to include all members of the Fraternity
now residing in the State, There are no dues, no cumbrous rules or by-
laws and the organization is of the simplest and most informal kind.
We are united for the purpose of promoting the sound and helpful prin-
ciples of the Fraternity, and one of our first active steps in this direction
will be to aid in establishing at once a chapter of the Fraternity in the
State University. Another movement will probably be an elaborate
banquet some time during the session of the National Teachers' Associ-
ation at St. Paul, from July 7th to July 15th, which convention it is
hoped will attract to the banquet board, not only our Minnesota Alumni,
but also many from other States.

Please inform me, as soon as you conveniently can, whether you are
in accord and sympathy with the plans thus outlined. Also kindly favor
me with not only your own address, college and class, but also those of
any other Delta U.'s in Minnesota with which you may be acquainted.

MINNESOTA ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. 285

In reply to this many letters were received and names of
Delta U.'s came in that previously were not generally known
as residents of Minnesota. The Quarterly is therefore
enabled in this issue to give a list of the Minnesota alumni,
which, if not entirely complete, is more complete than any
compiled. Here is the list in alphabetical sequence :

Ion. It is likely that most of those who have not responded
are laboring with the same knotty problem or have changed
their address. Occasionally a man was found who belonged
to another fraternity. Judge Thomas S. Buckham, of Fari-
bault, Minn., is one of the latter class, and his letter of reply
is interesting. He writes :

" I have no doubt the Delta Upsilons are all good fellows and that
their alumni association would be a good thing to belong to — if one
could do so honestly. And I am sure an 4 elaborate banquet ' is a thing
never to be lightly declined. But I shall have to wait till the A *'s have a
spread before I can break my fast. But I wish well to your association
and banquet. Yours sincerely,

AN IN VITA TION.

Chess at " The Larches," when in summer's heat
The cooling shadows glint along the grass ;

Till combinations clear the players greet,
And cares of business pass.

Aside be weighty tomes of science laid ;

Some dainty bits of Greek and Sanskrit bring,
Reclined within the balmy oilnut shade,

We'll read, and laugh, and sing.

And so, unheeded, pass the hours along,

That else were irksome in their pace to bear ;

Genial companions, wit and wine and song,
Cheer all the drowsy air.

And see ! upon our shelves, in long array,

The pages fair of " Scacchis' learned band ;" ,

The ideal past and skillful present play
Stand willing to our hand.

Come, then, and share our reason-tempered mirth ;
The grand old mountains add a wooing breeze ;
So shall content and health find gladsome birth,
And we play chess at ease.

AMONG THE EXCHANGES,

The June issue of Phi Delta Theta's Scroll is a veritable
war number. No pictures of double-shotted guns and
slaughtered victims confront the reader, but instead there
is a clear, uncompromising statement (official, because edi-
torial) of the recent capture of the Minnesota chapter of Phi
Delta Theta by Delta Kappa Epsilon. So far from deprecat-
ing the publication of this damaging information, we are
inclined to favor it heartily. If there is one sin in the frater-
nity decalogue that is close to the unpardonable, it is that of
"lifting" a rival fraternity's chapter — fraternity seduction, if
a strong phrase may be pardoned. So when this sin is
committed, let us have no mawkish sentimentality that would
cover it up and give the perpetrator the half-pardoning grace
of silence.

The case made out by Phi Delta Theta seems a strong one,,
and the safest guarantee of its truthfulness comes from the
publication of letters of one of the men who deserted their
fraternity colors. Here is an extract from one letter :

The Delta Kappa Epsilon scheme is working. Webb. [W. W. Har-

ing hard. Prexy [Pres. Northrop] is all O. K., but can't be very pro-
nounced. He likes the men and will not oppose it. Juddie [Prof. Jud-
son] and Mac [Prof. McLean] are simply red-hot. In all probability next
November will find no Phi Delta Theta in the U. of M.

As this letter was dated June 18, and the Phi Delta Theta
men did not resign till October, it is evident that the intend-
ing deserters had received local encouragement. This is the
Scroll's final word, which is not unjust :

The defection of our late chapter was wholly due to advances made
by, and solicitations and assurances from members of Delta Kappa Epsi-
lon, and it needs no definition from us to say whether or not these were
honorable. Delta Kappa Epsilon officials may not have been cognizant
of the steps pursued by Minneapolis and St. Paul Delta Kappa Epsilon men
to present to them a petition from such a source ; but it having come, re-
spect for her own honor demanded that they should become so acquaint-
ed, and in accepting the petition and granting the charter, that fraternity
endorsed those who secured the application and the method they used in
so doing.* Likewise she outraged general fraternity morality in charter-

ing men who were yet members of another fraternity. We have no de-
sire to criticize beyond the limits of this transaction, and do not do so,
but in all fairness and truth we assert that the establishment of Delta
Kappa Epsilon at the University of Minnesota records a page of dishonor
without a parallel in the history of fraternities.

Unique in its regular appearance (when compared with the
issues of preceding volumes) the Delta Kappa Epsilon Quarter-
ly this year has also been of excellent quality, the July num-
ber being no exception. A photo-engraving of the fraternity
chapter house at Rochester and the accompanying description
and dash of history make an effective opening piece.

Ten pages are given to reports of alumni association ban-
quets, and they are well spent. The exchange editor gets in
an effective and needful dig at the Beta Theta Pi brethren for
claiming everything as original with "Betas." The same
shadowy personage suggests a thing, not entirely new, but
yet peculiarly timely in view of the prevailing good feeling
among fraternities. It is that a convention of fraternity edi-
tors be held. If the motion needs seconding, Delta Upsilon
will gladly do it, and doubtless the Palm will give its most
fervent " aye " in favor of the proposition. This is a form of
Pan-Hellenicism that might have a practical result.

*
We like to see our exchanges giving space to thoughtful

and suggestive articles by the alumni as does the Phi Gamma
Delta Quarterly in the first pages of its June issue. From
personal experience we know what a heartening, invigorating
influence the enthusiasm of the older men in the fraternity has
upon the younger generation. Fraternities are getting over
their boyhood days, and although some of our rivals are appar-
ently not yet out of the boisterous " first pants " period, yet
there has been an unmistakable step forward toward manly
ideals and our contemporary bears many sure signs of it. The
Phi Gamma alumnus is only seven years out of college, but t
in his ideas he represents a much wider experience. Here is
something regarding the Quarterly itself :

As an alumnus I wish to congratulate the Fraternity on its having
such an excellent organ, and to express my gratification to the editors at
the work they are doing. But they should have the aid and sympathy

vSSd DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

and co-operation, not only of every active member of the Fraternity, but
also of every graduate member. No one is so poor but that he can aid
the good work in some way. All may not feel able to help financially ;
but there is no one who cannot help make the Quarterly more interesting
by sending to it personals and items of interest concerning members of
the Fraternity. This is what the alumni want. And they especially
desire news from their old chapters. If chapter correspondents would
write fully concerning the doings of the boys at college and those who
have gone away, there would be little difficulty in interesting the alumni
With the alumni interested, the means for extending the order, for making
the Quarterly better, for building chapter houses, and for other purposes
connected with the good of our order, would not in most cases be lacking.
I write as one who knows a little how this is. Often have I hungered
for news from my chapter. I believe others have done the same. May
I suggest to chapter correspondents that they hustle for news and give the
boys — who are boys no more save in feeling — the benefit of their work.

These are strong words and good. Supplementing it, but
in a different vein, is Mr. Mattern's dissection of "The Un-
fraternity Men in the Chapter." Still another suggestive
article is Mr. Siling's unique lesson in fraternity economy.
Here are some of the more interesting points made :

The greatest gifts that Phi Gamma Delta can bestow have value only
as they are assimilated by the individual man or chapter. The wealth of
fraternity, like the wealth of political economy, is the result of labor. It
exists and is enhanced by constant renewal and application. . . . The
field of fraternity work is a large one and one that will never be diminished
so long as the system endures ; fraternity work is as necessary in a chapter's
greatest prosperity as in its incipiency and days of depression. > . . . As
the product of one age when added to by the work of the next vastly
increases the ratio of progress, so increased activity in the Fraternity in
any part must give larger inspiration to all the chapters and to the indi-
vidual Deltas.

Fraternity work pays. It is usually true that the man who is an im-
portant factor in his chapter, is an important factor in the world. Growth
•continues. But fraternity work pays in the Fraternity. From our
workers, our leaders are taken. Our Fraternity executives and legisla-
tors, the editors and compilers of our publications, those in the order to
whom are entrusted power, are those who by energy and activity have
qualified themselves for the positions. Are you fitting yourselves to be-
come worthy successors ?

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. 288<?

The rest of this " filling " number is composed of state con-
vention reports, initiation announcements, editorials and
" sich," and we are bound to say that the mixing is well done.
This extract from an editorial has much meaning :

The fraternity has now reached a size which should be augmented
only after the most careful consideration. Any increase beyond our pres-
ent size will expose the fraternity to those disintegrating forces which
inhere to a large and unwieldy organization. Extension should rather be
expended in internal improvements and strengthening present positions
rather than expanding into new territory. The rope of sand will not do
for an ideal. Let us choose rather the solid rock as a model and build
firm and sure.

Delta U. must grow considerably before it reaches the
aldermanic proportions of Phi Gamma Delta, but even we
need a warning against the neglect of internal improvement.

*
The Chi Phi Quarterly for April does not offer much meat

to the professional chewer of exchanges. The first article,
which deals with "Affiliation," contains the choicest morsels,
as it discusses one phase of the ever-present problem of keep-
ing the alumni interested. Two suggestions to the end of
bettering matters are made, but the first is only preparatory
to the second. These are, stated in substance : to give every
man leaving his chapter a certificate of good standing, and
tnen to permit the affiliation of such members with the chap-
ters nearest their homes. As the writer well says :
\* How often, an alumnus leaving his chapter would be glad to actively
continue* his fraternity life, could he at once enter the chapter nearest to
his new home, being received as a member instead of merely dropping in
as an occasional visitor — unbound by any tie but the general one of the
fraternity. After years of separation from the old chapter the bret hren
become callous, not only to its active interests, but to those of the frater-
nity at large.

We fancy that in the practical working of this idea the under-
graduate control, which we at least hold to be desirable, would
be largely overbalanced and nullified. Still we should like to
see an experiment tried in this line. Certainly at present the
golden mean between alumni indifference, and alumni interest
that does not run to baleful interference, is not among the
things attainable.

288/ DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

The Sigma Chi Quarterly runs more to general literary arti-
cles rather than to general fraternity articles. When there is
a choice between the two, we feel that the literary production,
pure and simple, should be laid on the shelf. But we presume
that like most of our contemporaries, Sigma Chi finds a poor
supply of fraternity articles of the acceptable type. In the
current number, that of May, the literary articles reach a more
than respectable level and for once we shall not miss fraternity
talks. " The College Man in Journalism. " is the title of the
symposium in this number, and the brief essays by men who
" have been there " are to the point and interesting withal. The
general trouble with symposiums is that they are apt to degen-
erate into experience meetings, and after every one has told
his tale, there still remain great gaps that even the novice can
see. Save in the way of instilling some general notions the
average symposium lacks most of the elements of usefulness.
A keen article on " Foreign Influence upon American Univer-
sity Life," is another literary article that leaves an excellent
impression. In the way of fraternity reminiscence, a thing
above all things interesting to the older men, there is talk by a
'59 man on the White Cross at Jefferson. Fifty-nine does not
seem so very long ago to a Delta U., who dates his ancestry
back to *34, but Sigma Chi is one of the youngest sisters in the
band.

The July issue of the Rainbow of Delta Tau Delta is one of
the best of the year. " The Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology," " Pittsburg Alumni Association," "The Old Alpha,"
and " College Annals " are some of the subjects treated. The
twenty-seven pages of chapter letters contain some choice bits.
The University of Minnesota correspondent writes :

" And still they come ! Beta Theta Pi, Phi Gamma Delta, Delta Up-
silon and Pi Beta Phi represent the acquisitions to our fraternities the
past year, while Delta Kappa Epsilon represents the accusations. It
comes from good authority that Alpha Tau Omega will soon be abroad
in this part of the land*"

"The Greek World " editor savs :

" Delta Upsilon forgets that she is hardly organized on the same basis
as the other college fraternities."

The non-fraternity men at the University of Michigan are
to start a new weekly paper next fall, and it is hinted that the

Complaint is frequent from fraternity correspondents at
the University of Virginia that the field is overcrowded.
Something like fifteen fraternities are represented there by
organized chapters.

The new fraternity of Phi Theta Psi has placed its fifth
chapter in Randolph Macon College. The fraternity is still
in its long dresses, having been born at the University of
Virginia three years ago.

Kappa Sigma placed its Nu chapter in William and Mary
college March i, and its Chi Omega chapter in the University
of South Carolina, April 24. An editorial states that efforts
are making to establish two more, one north and one south.

The University of Mississippi is a great stronghold of
Northern fraternities in the South. Besides the chapter of
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, which is the only Southerner represented,
there are chapters of Delta Kappa Epsilon, Delta Psi, Phi
Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Chi, Delta Tau Delta, and
Beta Theta Pi.

The " Grand Alpha " of Pi Beta Phi, at its session in Gales-
burg, 111., in early April, adopted the carnation as the frater-
nity flower. Pallas Athenae as the Sorosis goddess, decided to
pay the editor-in-chief and business manager of the Arrow
salaries, adopted a new constitution and effected a province
organization.

At the annual meeting of the N. Y. Psi Upsilon club, held
May 20, an amendment to the constitution was adopted, which
divides the membership into three classes —life, resident and
non-resident. Ten men were made life members, and these
officers elected : President, R. L. Belknap, Columbia ; treas-
urer, W. M. Kingsley, University of New York, '83 ; secre-
tary, James Abbot, University of New York, '83 ; recorder,

reason for establishing new chapters. Let not Sigma Nu men
be startled out of their common sense.

An item is going the rounds of the fraternity press relative
to the membership of President Garfield in Delta Upsilon
and of his sons in Alpha Delta Phi. The explanation is trite
but plain. The Delta Upsilon chapter at Williams was killed
by the war and was not revived till the fall of '83, two years
after the elder Garfields had entered college and joined the
Alpha Delts. Their tutor, Mr. Brown, who married Miss
Mollie Garfield, was an Alpha Delta Phi.

Beta Theta Pi established a chapter at the University of
Cincinnati on May 30th. The initiates were organized three
years ago as a local society, named Chi Xi Sigma or Hour
Glass. At the end of a year it entered Beta Theta Pi as a dis-
pensation and has just now become a full-fledged chapter.
The present chapter is the successor of the old Cincinnati
chapter established in 1840, at the old Cincinnati College.
This chapter was organized one year after the foundation of
the fraternity at Miami in 1839, an( * died when the Cincinnati
institution closed its doors.

There are 380 students in the University of Michigan fra-
ternities. The memberships are : Alpha Delta Phi, 27 ; Alpha
Tau Omega, 11 ; Beta Theta Pi, 22 ; Chi Psi, 9 ; Delta Kappa
Epsilon, 24 ; Delta Tau Delta, 15 ; Delta Upsilon, 31 ; Phi

Matters in fraternity circles have been rather warm at
Union this year. We seemed to have set a precedent by
expelling two members at the beginning of the year. Since
then Psi Upsilon, Delta Upsilon, and Sigma Phi have each
expelled a man. The Chi Psis have been working hard to*

288/* DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

re-establish their chapter here, but so far they have met with
little success. They claim, however, that they will start a
chapter at Union soon with a $10,000 chapter-house. If they
succeed there will then be nine fraternities represented here.
The Sigma Phis have been striving to build up their chapter,
but they have been very unfortunate in their selection of men.
Psi Upsilon, by her avariciousness and desire for a monopoly
of offices, has been " set upon " so heavily by the other
fraternities that she has been compelled to combine with Delta
Upsilon, a combination which I think is unique in the history
of Psi Upsilon. — Correspondent Beta Theta Pi.

Every chapter has doubtless heard all about the contest,
but they have not heard all about the University of Nebraska.
The situation there is a peculiar one. The feeling there among
the barbs is very intense against the fraternities. There are
six frats there : three ladies', Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa
Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, and three boys', Phi Delta
Theta, Sigma Chi and Beta Theta Pi. The chapters are all
very small, none of them having more than eleven or twelve
members. Being so few in numbers, compared with the anti-
frats (who outnumber them ten to one,) it is very difficult for
them to make any showing in college politics. The college
paper, The Hesperian, is controlled altogether by barbs nor do
the fraternities support it at all. One reason why the fraterni-
ties do not have larger chapters is because some very desirable
men who are leaders in university matters know very well that
the moment they join a fraternity their prestige is gone.
Another is that the chapters prefer to remain small as a matter
of policy. — Minnesota letter, Phi Kappa Psi Shield.

An amusing incident occurred at Northwestern recently.
A gentlemen from our theological department, a mortal foe
of the secret society, gave a lecture on the "Merits and De-
merits of the College Fraternity," or rather on the demerits
of the college fraternity. It so happened that only Greeks
received invitations, and the audience was not entirely at one
with the speaker. But he proceeded, notwithstanding, to lay
on the lash. His special enmity was directed against Beta

GREEK LETTER GOSSfP. 288£

Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, Delta Upsilon, and Kappa Alpha Theta,
in whom he could see no redeeming features whatever. Most
of what he said was so ridiculously wide of the mark that his
few "hits " made no impression. After the lecture the speak-
er replied ' to all written questions that were sent up, from
which it appeared that he had never been in college except a
short time at Berea, a school somewhere in Kentucky, which
has a rule that " all students bringing fire-arms must deposit
them with the faculty." When asked what fraternities were
represented there he could think of none but Delta Upsilon.
The " frat goat " was introduced in the midst of the perform-
ance and amused himself by eating up the questions which
the chairman handed to him one by one as they were read. —

The United Societies of Phi Beta Kappa have published a
pamphlet containing a list of the officers for the coming three
years, an account of the recent triennial meeting at Saratoga,
N. Y., and an interesting article on various customs, usages,
and forms as revealed by answers from the various chapters to
•questions asked by the Senate. The question, how many men
does your chapter take from each graduating class, finds the
number ranging from twenty-five at Harvard (about one-tenth
•of the class) to one-third of the whole class, which, as the old
rule still holds good at Bowdoin, Dartmouth, University of
Vermont, Middlebury, Trinity, Wesleyan, Union, University
•of the City of New York, Columbia, Hamilton, Hobart, Madi-
son, Kenyon, Rochester, Dickinson, Rutgers and Brown.
Most of the chapters take men from the classical and scientific
courses simply, but at the University of Vermont candidates
for the C. E. degree are also eligible. The part played by the
faculty in the election of new members varies widely in the
different colleges, but in general they have simply the power
of recommendation. The question as to form' of initiation and
its comparative secrecy, developes the fact that only in Middle-
bury, Rutgers, Union, and the College of the City of New
York, are pledges of secrecy required, while more than half ask
no secrecy at all, and the rest require that the exercises shall
be private.

EDITORIAL.

The most gratifying feature presented by this year's statis-
tical table, which appears on page 297, is the greatly increased
representation which Delta Upsilon has secured in the last
year, in the faculties of the colleges in which she has chapters..
During the year 1888-89 there were fifty-two Delta U. pro-
fessors and tutors, while in 1889-90 the number has risen to
sixty-eight, showing a net gain of over twenty-five per cent.
This speaks well for the future life of our chapters. A strong"
faculty membership means a strong chapter and, in turn, in-
crease of power and prosperity for the whole Fraternity.

*
We trust the group pictures of Amherst, Michigan, North-
western and Minnesota, which are given in this issue, will prove
a pleasing innovation. The members of one chapter often
wonder what the members of another chapter look like, and
desire to know the physical characteristics of certain men who-
have become well known to them through proficiency in dif-
ferent spheres of college life. The alumnus, too, has a longing
to see the kind of boys who are carrying on the work he left
behind him, and there are other friends who are interested in
our undergraduattes.

The year 1890 will see more chapter-houses come into the

possession of the Fraternity than any previous year in our
history. The Rochester chapter is building a handsome home ;.
the Cornell chapter is to erect a fine structure, of which aa
engraving appears in this number. Plans are being drawn
for the Rutgers house. The Wisconsin house is nearly com-
pleted, and along comes Minnesota, the Baby chapter, with the
announcement that they will commence housekeeping this
fall, in a cosy sixteen-room house. This is the first one of
our chapters that has ever started with a house. The Minne-
sota men are bound to succeed. They have the vim and push
necessary to build up a powerful chapter and win glory and
honor for Delta U.

EDITORIAL. 288m

The Rutgers chapter has just experienced an unprecedented
piece of good fortune. For some time past they have been
•conducting negotiations for the purchase of a plot of ground
upon which to build a chapter-house. The papers were
drawn up and the first payment of the $5,000 involved was
about to be made, when word came that the owner had decided
to make them a present of the ground !

Such generous action should meet with hearty response
among Rutgers men and cause the erection of a structure be
fitting its liberal commencement. This is the largest gift
ever made to one of our chapters, and it probably has but one
equal in all other fraternities.

The University Magazine is publishing in monthly install-
ments the revised edition of Mr. Baird's "American College
Fraternities/' The third chapter, given in the August issue,
■concludes the bibliography and commences with the history
of Alpha Delta Phi. Mr. Baird endeavors to create the im-
pression that Beta Theta Pi is entitled to the honor of being
the pioneer in fraternity journalism, but he fails to produce
anything antedating Delta Upsilon's Our Record of 1867, and
hence that stands as the " First Fraternity Magazine."

This year's college annuals are greater in bulk and finer in
quality than any of their predecessors. Each possesses a
characteristic feature and offers interesting points to the
reviewer. The De Pauw publication presents a novel and
enjoyable innovation in the engravings of the pins of the fra-
ternities having chapters in that university. The pins are
enlarged to occupy a page, and the places of the customary
jewels are filled with small portraits of the members of the
chapters. Some of the annuals contain the name of Columbia
in the Chi Psi list of chapters, though that chapter has been
dead for years, and the long deceased Zeta Psi Quarterly is made
to answer for that Fraternity's official publication in the
Lafayette Melange. The Onondagan, of Syracuse University,
did not materialize this year. The editor-in-chief was a Psi
Upsilon and the business manager a Delta Kappa Epsilon.

" Hamilton University, of Rome, N. Y., has changed its
name to Colgate University." — The Teck. This is a fair
sample of the knowledge of American institutions possessed
by the average college editor.

We are indebted to the kindness of Edward B. Barnes,,
Cornell, '88, for the excellent articles covering the founding of
the Minnesota chapter which appear in this issue. The engrav-
ing of Superintendent Kiehie came through the courtesy of
the Gopher board, and those of the university buildings were
furnished by the university authorities.

Professor Norman Dunshee, Adelbert, '48, who died in Des
Moines, la., on June 23rd, enjoyed the distinction of being a
broad and thorough scholar and an indefatigable student of
the Bible, mathematics, history, philology and philosophy.
For thirty-five years he had been actively engaged in teaching,,
and many of his pupils achieved unusual distinction, among
them the late President James A. Garfield, Williams, '56.

Concerning the poem "What My Lover Said," which we
print in this issue, a writer in the Buffalo Express says :

" This poem was first published in some of the New York papers in
November, 1875, over the initials ' H. G.' and ascribed by many to Horace

HERE AND THERE. 2880

Greeley. Barton Hill recited it to a small company of friends in New
York in October, 1880, and stated that the author was unknown; but the
Ntw York Evening Post of January 16, 1881, proved that it was written
by Homer Greene while a student at Union College. I know that he
enjoys quite a reputation in the vicinity of his home in Honesdale, Pa., as
the author of this poem, and also some fiction, including * Burnhanu
Breaker,' a story of the coal mines in that vicinity."

Now that we are in the midst of catalogue making some
facts concerning the financial part of the last Psi Upsiion
catalogue will have especial interest. As the Psi U. catalogue of
1879 exceeded in scope anything published before that time, sa
cloes the issue of 1888 surpass all predecessors. The editor
elaborated his work to such an extent that the book cost over
$7,000, and the raising of the funds to pay the bill precipitated
a crisis in the fraternity. Five thousand dollars of the amount
had to be paid in October, 1888, and to raise this sum the
Executive Council levied a tax of $11.56 upon each under-
graduate Psi U. This drew down the storm, and some of the
chapters made an attempt to organize in opposition to the
assessment, but were unsuccessful, and had to pay their quota..
The cost of the catalogue exceeded the receipts from sales by
$2,086.84. Two thousand copies were printed.

For several years we have been predicting that a change
would take place in the Yale Academic societies, and that the
class organizations would have to give way to the four-year
fraternity system. Indications are not wanting that Yale menu
are dissatisfied with their societies and that the day of the fra-
ternities is not far distant. The Yale Horoscope^ issued last.
May, summarizes the Senior situation thus :

" Perhaps the most serious evil of the societies is that they tend to>
limit friendships to the fifteen chosen ones at the expense of those not so>
fortunate. We don't think that they intend it, but most men not in Senior
societies, feel thereby estranged from old friends who have been more
fortunate. The thought that fourteen of your classmates are preferred
before you by your old friend, isn't conducive to cordial intimacy. We
can't help thinking that much as the best men of the class undoubtedly
gain from Senior societies, they lose fully as much by their lessened influ-
ence on their classmates."

This is pretty strong from a publication which has always
championed the Senior societies, but it is as nothing compared

.288/ DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

to the attitude toward the Junior organizations which these
lines express :

" We have often made inquiries, endeavoring to ascertain any excuse
for the existence of Junior societies in Yale, but have never succeeded in
obtaining any satisfactory reply. Professor Hadley tells us that when you
have a large investment of capital the business must be kept running even
if it doesn't pay expenses. We take this to be the case with Psi U. and
D. K. E. If there were no Junior society halls we don't think it would be
possible to get the sensible men of the college to establish them on their
present footing. In fact they are a failure and we should like to see them
abolished or changed into social clubs merely, with commodious quarters
always open to the members, in the place of the dismal barns now in use.
What an inspiring sight is presented every Tuesday night by a crowd of
Juniors waiting on and hanging around a few Senior society men with a
devotion which is an honor to the manliness of the college, while the
Seniors not in Senior societies are neglected and treated almost with rude-
ness ! We hear that the Yale chapter of D. K. E. is in danger of expul-
sion from the fraternity, but it is not true. A Yale chapter is too good a
thing to throw away lightly, even if Yale men do hold the other chapters
in contempt. D. K. E. seems rather worse than Psi U., and it is only by-
some very ' shady ' moves that the former could secure any good men in
'92."

Passing from this to the scientific department, where the
fraternities have chapters, the Horoscope continues :

" The Sheff. society system is sui generis among the institutions of
Yale. The older society halls of Sheff. imitate the style of architecture
introduced by Bones, which we may call the dungeon style. But soon
the custom of maintaining club-houses grew up and each society, besides
its dismal depository of mysteries, had a commodius and pleasant place
of meeting, whither the members resorted when in search of social pleas-
ure. The Academic Department has not in the past felt the.need of such
clubs, their place being supplied by dormitory life, and the Fence as a
fosterer of class spirit. But the increasing size of the classes, and the
increase in the number of wealthy men, seem to point to some such evo-
lution in the college as has taken place in Sheff. We confess that the
old class spirit seems to us nobler and better, but if it is doomed to be
extinguished, a substitute must be found, and we may look upon the club-
house system as the only ^alternative which has as yet offered itself. To
be sure, the weight of the Senior society influence is all against such a
system, but even the gods upon Olympus cannot forever resist the irre-
vocable decrees of fate, and those organizations which have so long lorded

The recently published catalogue of the Williams chapter
of Phi Beta Kappa, enumerating all the members up to half
of the " ten " from '88, discloses some facts highly gratifying
to Delta U. Of 496 members graduated since 1836, when the
first of our members went forth, 73, or more than a seventh,
were members of our Fraternity. These fall into 33 classes,
an average of two to each class, and only four delegations
have failed to get a member into the society. But this is not
the best exhibition. If from the 496 men be taken those ad-
mitted between 1863 and 1884, when our chapter was dead,
the number is 299. The Delta U. chapter has therefore fur-
nished nearly a quarter of all the Phi Beta Kappa men
admitted while it was living. The totals of the other chapters
are : Kappa Alpha, 54 ; Alpha Delta Phi, 48 ; Sigma Phi, 39 ;
Delta Kappa Epsilon, 28 ; Chi Psi, 27. Kappa Alpha's total
represents 55 years, and Alpha Delta Phi's 38, which makes
their showing even less favorable. The comparative record
of Phi Beta Kappa men in Delta U. and Alpha Delta Phi
during the 18 years that the chapters have lived. in- rivalry, is
38 for the former and 28 for the latter. The Delta U. chapter
has had five since its revival in '83, and the Alpha Delts only
one. These figures do not include, of course, the second five
from '88, the '89 and '90 men.

The fifth summer school for college students was held by
invitation of D. L. Moody in Northfieid, Mass., under the
auspices of the Y. M. C. A., June 28 to July 9, 1890. Three
hundred and eighty students were present, representing one
hundred and twenty-one institutions of learning.

The speakers at the regular meetings in Stone Hall this

294 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

two Bible classes were held in tents near the buildings. At
10.30 came the regular morning service, with addresses by the
speakers already mentioned. The afternoons were given to
rest and recreation. Two baseball diamonds, eleven tennis
courts and a swimming wharf were thoroughly appreciated.
At 7 p. m. came the meeting on Round Top in the interest of
the Student Volunteer Missionary Movement. The evening
service was at 8 o'clock. This meeting was of the same general
character as the 10.30 a. m. meeting. On the Fourth of July,
only the morning meetings were held, the afternoon and even-
ing being given to the celebration of our nation's birthday.
Soon after dinner the boys began to collect in front of Marquand
Hall.

" The crowd was a typical college one, lots of students lying around
on the grass, or engaged in conversation with the large number of young
ladies, who, for the most part, out of consideration for A. A. Stagg and
the Yale delegation, wore blue colors. It must be added that it was
Yale's day, about all the prizes falling to that college. The superiority
of Yale's powers was especially manifest in the fruit race, which was a
test of the rapidity of the banana-eating powers of the contestants ; and
envious rivals assert that this might have been expected from the gastrono-
mic feats performed by Yale at the dinner table. The egg race and
obstacle race awakened much curiosity and interest among the ladies

Fully 1 500 people were at Stone Hall in the evening, when the patriotic
celebration of the students began. The college delegation sat together,
each having some emblem. Great enthusiasm, tin horns, yells, watch-
men's rattles, etc., enlivened the approach of the young ladies and their
chaperons. The British and Japanese delegations enjoyed the honor of
sitting on the platform with A. A. Stagg, of Yale, who presided. The
exercises began by the national hymn, the Americans singing " America,"
the British " God save the Queen," and everybody coming in on the third
verse, " So Say we all of Us." Prof. D. B. Towner, then sang, " The
Sword of Bunker Hill," which was received with great eclat by the boys.
The Japanese delegation sang a song in their own language, the signifi-
cance whereof was not given away. John Lennox, of Edinburg, responded
to the toast, " What we expected and what we found." The Harvard
delegation rendered " Fair Harvard," and their effort was followed by a
solo by Nathan Noderblom, of Upsala, Sweden. His voice is very fine,
and although the sentiment was understood by few, because the ballads
were rendered in Swedish, they fully appreciated the singing. The Rut-
gers delegation sang a song, after which A. A. Stagg sang the comic

DELTA U. NEWS ITEMS. 295

song, "Are you there, Moriarty?" which was received with wild applause,
Viscount Yataro Mishima, of Tokio, next executed a Japanese war-dance.
This a'so was warmly received. The Amherst delegation then sang the
star of the evening, and Rev. H. G. Mowll, of London, responded ot the
toast of the evening, " The Ladies." The enthusiasm at the close of this
toast was something tremendous, cheer on cheer rising to the roof as
though to burst the building and inform everybody within half a mile that
the Fourth was being celebrated in truly first-class style. The Virginia
delegation rendered a song, followed by one by the Cornell delegation.
One of the French students then made a few remarks, after which the
Hamilton delegation sang a Greek song John G. Scott, of Virginia, then
responded to the toast, 4< The Blue and the Gray." The Princeton and
Canadian, Wesleyan and Yale delegations then sang their college songs.
The entertainment closed with the cheers of the various colleges, but the
British delegation took the palm from everybody in this sport."

The following is the roll of Delta U.'s in attendance : The
Rev. Dr. A. T. Pierson, Hamilton, '57 ; W. H. Cossum, Colgate,
'87 ; G. P. Morris, Rutgers, '88 ; G. H. Flint, Williams, 'S6 ;
A. H. Mulnix, '91, A. G. Moody, Amherst, '92 ; Richard Collins,
Columbia, '91 ; E. V. V. Searle, '91, R. J. Hogan, '91, J. B.
Thomas, '92, and E. R. Woodruff, '93, of Rutgers ; B. W. Lab-
aree, Marietta, '88 ; W. B. Green, Williams, '92 ; E. C. Warri-
ner, Michigan, '91 ; A. L. Shapleigh, Harvard, '92 ; F. S. Retan,
'89, C. D. Case, '91, J. G. Briggs, Jr., '93, T. Cain, '93, and
W. B. Smith, '93, of Colgate; F. D. Torrey, '91, and M. Y.
Takaki, '91, of Syracuse ; J. B. Slocum, Colby, '93.

The Colgate and Rutgers chapters had the largest delega-
tions ; Rutgers having five and Colgate six men. Twenty of
the wearers of the gold and blue tried conclusions with a
photograher one afternoon. The result was a very good pic-
ture of a representative Delta U. group. The brothers had a
table by themselves in the large Marquand Hall dining-room,
over which Brother Mulnix, Amherst, '91, kept a watchful eye.
Dr. A. T. Pierson, Hamilton, '57, gave one or two addresses,
and W. H. Cossum, Colgate, '87, lead the 7 p. m. meetings. Not
only was there a great deal of profit and pleasure in the meet-
ings themselves, but it was very delightful to meet so many
friends and brothers who honor the motto of our Fraternity.

UNION UNIVERSITY.

Union closes her 93d year under auspicious conditions. President
Webster's policy is no longer an experiment, but a most brilliant reality.
The college, under the two years of his administration, has taken long"
strides toward its former prosperity. The income of the college for the
past year was much larger than in former years. The number of stu-
dents in attendance has greatly increased, especially the class of '93, which
is nearly three times as large as the previous class. The courses of study
have been re-arranged and the faculty has been enlarged and strengthened.
Here are but a few of the signs that mark the success of Dr. Webster,
and it is not too much to say that his personality prevades and animates
the whole intellectual life of Union.

Commencement Week. — The gathering of Alumni was larger than
for many years, and the spirit manifested by them showed their renewed in-
terest in the welfare of the college. Commencement opened Sunday, June
2 2d, with the Baccalaureate sermon by Dr. Webster. This was the first
appearance of the " Doctor " in the character of a preacher, but the
impression he made was most favorable, proving him a success in this, as
in the many other characters he assumes. His subject was " Man's
Spiritual Nature.'' Classday was not held this year, but was set aside to
make way for the Phi Beta Kappa oration, but as no orator materialized a
game of baseball was played Monday afternoon with the " Schenectady
City's," whom we defeated by a score of 14 to 3. Tuesday was Alumni
Day and the chapel was filled to overflowing with an enthusiastic crowd
of the " ancients. " Speeches were made by prominent representatives of
the classes of '40, '50, '60, '70 and '80. Judge Landon spoke for the
Board of Trustees, reporting that the income had increased very much
over last year ; after which Prof. Wells aired his eloquence in behalf of
the Faculty. The Alumni banquet took place at 1 o'clock in Memorial
Hall. Toasts were responded to by Dr. Webster, ex-Senator Warner
Miller, William H. McElroy and other prominent alumni. In the after-
noon a game of ball was played with a picked team from the alumni, and
after a hard fought battle the "varsity" came off victorious. Junior
and Sophomore prize speaking and the speaking for the Veeder extempora-
neous prize took place in the First Presbyterian church. Brothers Clarence
Aiken, '77, and Homer Greene, '76, served as members of the Junior and
Sophomore prize committee.

The Union chapter had but little interest in commencement this year
from the fact that we had no '90 men. Brother McDonald, '91, however,
received the 2nd Clark essay prize for Juniors.

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 301

The life of the chapter is quite in harmony with the life of the college.
Our number is not large, a thing we care but little about, as long
as the men are congenial. Ours is a rather quiet but still not an unevent-
ful existence. Though having our full say in all undergraduate affairs
we seek not to be demonstrative. Our relations with the other fraternities
are friendly, and with Psi Upsilon and Sigma Phi it is more of the form
of an intimacy. The standing of the chapter socially and in respect to
college duties is unquestioned as being equal to any, to claim more would
be egotism. With most favorable prospects for next year, the Union
chapter bids her sister chapters a hearty good-bye, feeling that the com-
ing year will be a repetition of our former prosperity.

HAMILTON COLLEGE.

Ninety's commencement has just closed a pleasant and prosperous
year for Hamilton College and our chapter. Again old Hamilton takes
the pennant at the inter-collegiate athletic contests in Syracuse, and the
whole college, with all her friends, are again stirred with enthusiastic
devotion at the news of her victory. Her alumni are exerting themselves
with greater vigor than ever in the college's interest, new bequests are
flowing in, and everything points to the beginning of a more prosperous
era than she has ever witnessed.

A notable feature in college life during the past year has been the
marked increase in cordiality in inter-fraternity relations. The petty
squabbles and contemptible wire-pulling for officers seem to be things of
the past, and everywhere the need of more friendly relations between the
fraternities has been emphasized. This spirit was especially remarked at
the annual election of officers of the baseball, athletic and tennis associa-
tions, held at the close of the year. Then the sentiment was unanimous
that fraternity lines should be cast aside, and that men, not societies,
ought to be considered. Of course, this is as it should be, and none
rejoice more at the fact than our own chapter. Needless to say, our own
relations with the other fraternities represented here have been more inti-
mate than ever before, our intercourse with the chapter of Alpha Delta
Phi especially leaving little to be desired on the score of friendliness and
cordiality.

During the past year Delta U. has been represented on the various
college organizations as follows : Brother Curran, '92, Sophomore director
of the athletic association; Brother Dodge, '90, Senior director of the
tennis association ; Brother Hughes, '90, manager and leader of the col-
lege glee club and leader of the college choir ; Brother Gibson, '93, ac-
companist to the glee club and first tenor on the choir ; Brother Hayden,
'91, business manager of the " Lit /" Brother Harkness, '91, literary
editor of the Hamiltonian, the college annual. At the elections for

302 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

the ensuing year, Brother Hayden, '91, was chosen Senior director of the
baseball nine, and Brother Marquisee, '93, Sophomore director of the
athletic association. At the inter-collegiate athletic meeting in Syracuse,.
Brother Marquisee easily won first prize in the ten-mile bicycle race, none
of his competitors being " in it " at all. At the Freshman class supper,
Brother Bacon, '93, officiated as toast-master, and Brother Marquisee
had a toast. For next year Brother Hayden keeps his present position as-
business manager of the " Z,//," and Brother Curran, '92, represents us on
the Hamiltonian. In scholarship, as usual, Delta U. is at the front..
At the Clark prize exhibition in original oratory, held June 9th, we were
represented by Brother Hughes, '90, with an oration on " Victor Hugo,.
Poet and Patriot," who succeeded in taking the prize, which is probably
the most honorable given at this college. Brother Dodge, '90, received
a Phi Beta Kappa key; Brother Harkness, '91, a Curran medal in Greek
and Latin ; Brothers Hayden aud Harkness took first and second prize
respectively in English essays in the Junior class, and Brothers Curran
and Fay in the Sophomore class.

Commencement Week passed off pleasantly. Delta U., though un-
represented in the usual prize contests for the first time in many years,
felt that this failure was more than compensated for by the possession of
the Clark prize. At the parting exercises of the class of '90, we were
represented by Brother Hughes as campus day orator, and Brother
Tooley as class day poet. Our annual reception and banquet was held
the night of Wednesday, June 25. and was one of the most successful in
many years, our alumni being present in goodly numbers with their wives-
and families. Thursday, June 26, saw the close of Commencement and
the final appearance of '90 as a class. On the Commencement stage we
were represented by Brother Dodge with an honor oration. Thus closed
a year that has been full of prosperity for the Hamilton chapter. It has
seen the bonds of fraternal love drawn still closer and the breaking up of
the old spirit of inter-fraternity hostility. It leaves us, as a chapter,
strong in hopes for the future and with the promise of a fine representa-
tion in the incoming class.

Among the Delta U. alumni present during Commencement were the
following: The Rev. S. Merrill Miller, '40 (Hon.) ; E. P. Powell, D.D.,
'53; the Rev. John L. Page, '54; the Rev. Samuel Miller, '6o ; Hon. W.
H. H. Miller, '61, Attorney-General of the United States; the Rev. Theo-
dore S. Pond, '60 ; the Rev. L. A. Ostrander, D.D., '65 ; Prof. I. O. Best,
'67; Selden H. Tallcott, M. D., '69; the Rev. G. R. Smith, '70; H. C.
Maine, '70 ; F. H. Gouge, '70 ; Henry R. Waite, Ph. D., '68 ; J. E. Massee,
'73; Prof. George Griffith, '77; Wm. M. Griffith, '80; J. B. Parsons, '86;.
F. H. Robson, '87 ; F. B. Severance, '87 ; E. C. Morris, '89 ; E. R. Whit-
ney, '89, and many others.

AMHERST COLLEGE.

The Amherst chapter sends greeting to her sister chapters in Delta
Upsilon. After a promising preliminary campaign and having secured a
fair number of honors we were happy to bid each other " farewell " for
the Summer vacation.

Brother Clapp, '90, secured the prize in English Literature of $100.
Brother MacNeil was one of the Hardy debaters and also a Hyde speaker.
Brother Buck represented us on the Commencement stage. Brothers
Chase and Crockett, '91, were elected to Phi Beta Kappa in the first
drawing.

On Amherst's champion baseball team Delta Upsilon had the
catcher, Hunt, '93 and right-fielder, Cutler, '91, with Boutwell, '91, change
pitcher. Great things are expected of Raley, '93, and Boardman, '92, in
the dashes next year ; while, as heretofore, Delta U. hopes to excell in
football. Wm. M. Weldon.

ADELBERT COLLEGE.

The writers of chapter letters, we are well aware, are wont to show a
tendency of optimism ; but in summing up the record of the year just
completed and looking forward to the coming year, we see no need for
exaggeration in order to present a good showing in the former and grounds
for encouragement in regard to the latter.

Throughout the past year we have held our own in college work and
enterprises. In athletics we have done less than in other departments,
though we have been represented on the board of directors of the ath-
letic association and have had the manager and battery of the ball team,
which has been doing good work this spring, having won six of the seven
games played, and having a standing of one thousand per cent, in the
Inter-Collegiate League.

The new college monthly which was mentioned in a former letter has
thus far proved a marked success, and under the efficient management of
its editor-in-chief, Brother McGowan, '90, the Adelbert has been a
very creditable publication.

On May 14 and 15 the dramatic club rendered two farces in pleasing
style. Brothers Hughes and C. R. Tuttle represented Delta U. and ex-
cited the mirth of the audience by the comical rendering of their parts.

Commencement Week brought a fair share of laurels to Delta U.
Our two representatives in '90 were awarded first and third honors.
Brother McGowan delivered the valedictory address and Brother Osborn
the philosophical oration.

This is the tenth time in twenty-one years that the valedictorian has
been a member of Delta Upsilon and the seventh time that we have taken

304 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

the third honor (two Delta U. men sharing the latter in '84). Our
salutatorians for the same period number ten. This gives Delta U. about
forth-three per cent, of the honors for the time mentioned above.

Of the six prizes awarded at commencement three fell to us, the only
other prize taken by a fraternity man, being the Freshman Declamation
prize awarded to a member of Alpha Delta Phi. The Senior prize for
English Composition was awarded to Brother McGowan ; the Freshman
Latin and Greek prizes to Brother Stilson. In the Declamation Contest,
which is always one of the most interesting exercises of commencement
week, we had no representative in the Freshman class, but Brother C. R.
Tuttle came off victor in the Sophomore class. Brother R. R. Hughes,
who received honorable mention, fell so little below the winner that the
decision of judges was a matter of some difficulty. This, by the way, is
the fifth consecutive year that Delta U. has taken one of these prizes.

On Tuesday evening, June 17. we added to our number two more
'93 men. The initiates were Raymond Hopkins Stilson (from the Cleve-
land Central High School) and George Brinton Eisenhard (from the Green
Spring Academy, Green Spring, Seneca Co., Ohio).

After the initiation the annual alumni spread was served. Among
those present were the Rev. J. N. Wilson, '66, founder and first president*
of our re-established chapter ; the Hon. Hermon Bronson, '68 ; the Rev.
J. M. Seymour, '70; H. H. Hosford, '80; and W. N. Sawyer, '83 ; as well
as a number of the younger Cleveland alumni, among whom may be
mentioned, Brothers N. T. Horr, '82, and F. W. Shepard, '86, of Cornell.
Brother Strong, '93, of Cornell, was also present.

We shall have a membership of fourteen to start with next term, pro-
vided all the men in the three higher classes return, and we are sure to
return twelve at least. We have one man pledged, and if we secure the
proportion of '94 that we have reason to hope for, our chapter will be
larger than it has been for some time past. With pride for our own
chapter and hope for its future, we wish the fullest measure of success
for each and every one of our sister chapters ; and in the accomplish-
ment of this desire is implied the success of the Fraternity at large.
We hope also that more of our brothers from other chapters will be
able to visit us next year than have visited us heretofore. Make arrange-
ments to stop with us a few days on your way to or from the Convention.

COLBY UNIVERSITY.

Another eminently successful year for Colby University has drawn to
a close. As the interest at this time always centers in Commencement,
I will endeavor to describe in brief the exercises at Colby and the part
played by the Colby chapter of Delta Upsilon.

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 305

Commencement Week was opened on Sunday, June 29, by the
Baccalaureate sermon by the President. This was followed in the evening
by an admirable address before the Y. M. C. A., delivered by the Rev.
Dr. McWhinnie, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who is a loyal son of Delta U..
Brown, '67. On Monday occurred the presentation day exercises of
the Junior class. Brother Purinton, the class President officiated, Brother
Luce read the class history and Brother Fletcher awarded ihe prizes. The
annual exhibition of the Junior class followed in the evening, the exercises
being of an unusually high order. Four of the speakers were Delta
Upsilon men and Brother Watson was honored with second prize. The
Senior class day exercises were held on Tuesday, Brother Hatch presid-
ing. In the forenoon the audience listened with intense interest to a
thrilling poem by Brother Whelden. In the afternoon the address to-
undergraduates was delivered by Brother Burke and was characterized
by earnestness and sound common sense. In the evening an able inaug-
ural address by President Small took the place of the usual oration.

Commencement day was especially replete with honors for our chapter.
Of the six men who compose our delegation in '90, five graduated with
highest honors, and four were among the Commencement speakers, the
whole number of speakers being ten. The President's reception occurred
in the evening, and we may say this year as we did last, that it closed one
of the most successful Commencements in the annals of Colby Univer-
sity. You may be sure that our chapter was not disposed to complain of
its share of Commencement honors ; but our joy was increased when it
was announced, later on, that the first prize offered to the Senior class
for excellence in scholarship had been awarded to Brother Smith.

The coming year bids fair to be most prosperous. Our '90 delegation
will of course be missed, but a large delegation from the incoming class
will make up partly for the loss. Five men have already been pledged.
In conclusion we would congratulate our sister chapters on the past and
express our best wishes for future prosperity.

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE.

This has been a prosperous year for Delta Upsilon at Middlebury. In
the strife for college honors she has taken the same high place it has been
her custom to occupy. Brothers Clift and Mead, '90, were on the retiring
editorial board of the Undergraduate, the former as editor-in-chief.
Brother Noonan, '91, the retiring business manager, gained second place
on the new board, and Brothers Brown, '93, and Mead, '91, also secured
places. Mr. Noonan was editor-h -chief of the Kaleidoscope, the college
annual, which is regarded as the best ever published. Brother Goddard
was salutatorian of the graduating class, and Brothers Mead and E. B.

306 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

Clift received honor appointments, while all three were initiated into Phi
Beta Kappa. We secured second and third Waldos in the class of '90,
and first and third in '91. We have been represented on the ball team at
short stop by E. B. Clift. The nine has been the best that Middlebury
has put in the field for years.

The increased prosperity is not confined to Delta U. The whole
college feels the impulse, and progress is being made in all directions.
Funds have been secured to increase the library. A landscape gardener
has been upon the grounds engaged in beautifying the campus. Best of
all, a new elective system, arranged by the faculty, and approved by the
corporation, will go into operation next fall.

Commencement Week was ushered in on Sunday, June 29th, with
the Baccalaureate, by President Brainerd. It was one of the most
eloquent and forcible that has been delivered here for years. In the
evening Brother H. P. Higley, '6o, of Beloit, Wis., gave a powerful address
before the Y. M. C. A. He described the dangers which are threatening,
and maintained that the force which is to counteract them is Christian
manhood. Tuesday forenoon the address before the Associated Alumni
was delivered by Rev. R. S. Holmes, '62. Brother E. P. Wild, D.D., '60,
was to have been the poet of the occasion, but failing health prevented
his presence. The fragments of his uncompleted poem were read by his
classmate, Brother H. P. Higley. In the evening came the speaking for
the two Parker prizes by four members of the class of '93, one each from
Chi Psi, D. K. E. and Delta U., and a neutral. Delta U. was represented
by J. B. Donowa), who barely missed the second place, the committee
stating that the successful competitor led by only three points out of a
possible 675.

After the speaking we held our reunion at the chapter hall. Many of
the Alumni were present, and after refreshments had been served, wit and
and gaiety were the order of the hour. With E. J. Ranslow as toast-
master, and many kindred spirits in the company, the pleasant hours
passed quickly away. At the close, the alumni showed their continued
interest in the chapter by subscribing generously to a fund for better
furnishing the chapter hall.

On Wednesday morning came the graduating exercises. Brother
Goddard was the first speaker with the salutatory address, and an
oration entitled " The Point of View." Brother Clift spoke upon " The
Silver Craze," and Brother Mead discussed the question, " Did the Times
Demand It?"

In the evening a large audience was treated to one of the best concerts
of recent years. This was followed by the President's Reception, and
the festivities of the week were terminated by the Commencement
Ball. Carl A. Mead.

RUTGERS COLLEGE.

Commencement Week.— With the advent of commencement, there
comes a feeling of both triumph and regret.

Triumph because Delta U. is ever the proud recipient of honors at the
hands of her sons ; regret because we must then part from friends who
for four years have stood shoulder to shoulder and battled manfully for
the Gold and Blue. The past year for Rutgers has been one of well-nigh
unalloyed prosperity. Successful always, our chapter was this year dis-
tinguished to a degree almost unprecedented.

But not to anticipate, we shall begin with the early part of the term.
W T ith the arrival of spring new impetus was given to athletics, and in the
field none was more conspicuous than Brother Lockett, who to close his
course also distinguished himself by winning the Bowser Prize for the
best Engineering Thesis. He has occupied the •' box " during the season
and his success in pitching fully sustained his reputation as the best all-
round athlete Rutgers has ever had.

During the term we have initiated two men of excellent attainments :
—Brothers Elihu C. Bryan, '91, and Frank R. Van Horn, of '92. Both are
members of the Scientific School and the former, together with Brothers
Aydelott and Wynkoop are three of the six Phi Beta Kappa men who are
appointed at the end of Junior year. Of course, with the closing of the
year, comes the award of prizes and honors, and here Delta U. met with a
success truly phenomenal.

Brother Warren R. Schenck, who foreshadowed his career in winning
the Spader History prize in Sophomore, and the Winner prize, in Junior
year, besides causing another to be divided between himself and two other
contestants, rounded out his course with a record of Senior prizes simply
amazing.

To begin with, Brother Schenck was made master orator of his class,
then he captured the second honor with Latin salutatory and the rhetor-
ical honor, his address being " Personality in American History," and to
augment this glory won in competition six regular first prizes, viz. : — The
Suydam Prize for Composition, for the best essay on John Locke and his
Philosophy, both the Van Doren and Van Vechten Mission prizes, the
class of 1876 prize in Political Philosophy, the Upson American Literature
Prize, the Appleton Prize in moral philosophy, arid the second Bussing
Extempore Speaking prize, was also awarded to him, making a sum total
of nine awards. This record has never been excelled except once — by
Brother Maurice J. Thompson, '89, who captured nine first prizes during
his college career and the rhetorical honor and valedictory.

Of class day officers Brother Mayou held that of class poet. Brother
Van Arsdale was author of the Ivy Ode, and Brother E. T. Middleton
was a member of the arrangement committee.

308 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

But while Brother Schenck has been so successful, others have not
been inglorious.

Brother Middleton, '90, won the Suydam Prize in Natural Science,
Brother Lockett's distinction has been noticed, and the associate Quar-
terly editor was the winner of the Hart prize in English Literature,
besides being with Brothers Winner and Van Horn of the eight Sopho-
more speakers appointed for merit. Then of commencement honors
besides Brother Schenck's, Brothers R. S. Voorhees and W. A. Mayou took
respectively the third and fourth honors, Brother Van Arsdale is the
wearer of a Phi Beta Kappa key, and Brother Van Orden delivered an
oration on the commencement stage. Of the honorary degrees con-
ferred at this time. Brother John H. Salisbury, '75. received D.D. Brother
Harry J. March, '87, those of C. E. and M. S., and the Rev. W. P. Mer-
rill, '87, and Frank A. Pattison, '87, M. A., and Brother T. W. Challen,
87. M. S.

During the term Delta U. has had three men, including the captain
on the 'varsity ball team, two Delta U.'s were members of the Rutgers
Gun Club and Brother Chailen was a speaker at Junior Exhibition.

Such is an epitome of Delta U. during the last term. The festivities
of Commencement closed with a ball, tendered by the Senior class to its
friends, an event eminently successful and largely to be attributed to
Brother Schenck. We are sorry to say that Brother C. S. Johnson, '91 r
has left college to teach next year in the Collegiate Grammar School, No.
248 West 74th street, New York.

Of the graduating class in the Preparatory School we have initiated
four men, one of whom, John H. Thompson, was valedictorian and also
won the rhetorical prize for the best oration delivered at Commencement.
He is a brother of Maurice J. Thompson, '89, and the undersigned ; his
classmates who wear our pin are Francis Cuyler Van Dyck, John A
Sarles and Philip C. Thomas. The first is a son of Professor Van Dyck,
of Rutgers, and the last a brother of James B. Thomas, '91.

This certainly is a good showing and Delta U. has been still more
honored in that Brother E. T. Middleton was appointed assistant in the
Physical Laboratory as soon as graduated, to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Prof. M. N. Wyckoff, '72, who returns to Japan. And
in closing, a word as to the condition of Rutgers ; never before has she
been so flourishing. At the alumni dinner, given on June 17, in the new
dormitory, Mr. Winant, the donor of the edifice, formally presented the
deed of gift to the Board of Trustees, and President Gates announced
that the endowment fund had been increased by $60,000 during the fiscal
year, while a movement likely soon to be completed was being made to
erect a new gymnasium, and thus it will be seen that Rutgers is not to
suffer in competition with sister institutions.

COLGATE UNIVERSITY.

Our last chapter letter stated that " the Madison chapter is dead.' '
So she is, but Colgate chapter, the young heir, has inherited, with other
things, all the life Madison ever had to bequeath.

The outlook for the returning September is very favorable; with a
strong and harmonious chapter with which to begin the year, we also
have a fine showing of pledged men from the Colgate Academy graduates,
as well as an eye on some newcomers. Of the three honors of the last
graduating class of the Academy, the first and third places were held by
two of our pledged men.

Commencement Week. — The awards of Commencement gave Delta
Upsilon the victory as follows : In the nine honors of the graduating
class, W. Ford, salutatorian ; U. G. Weatherly, fourth ; H. C. Merrill,
fifth ; W. J. Eyles, sixth ; J. W. Roberts, seventh ; H. F. Mallory, eighth.
The Clark Prize in Oratory, F. H. Butler, '90. The Bushnell Historical
Prizes, U. G. Weatherly, first, and William Ford, second. Osborn Mathe-
matical prizes, A. C. McGregory, '92, second ; Tasker Essay prizes, C.
D. Case, '91, second ; Allen Essay prizes, A. G. Taylor, '92, first. On
the Kingsford Prize Declamation contest we were represented by four
speakers of the twelve, gaining three prizes out of six, as follows : Class
of '91, W. M. Bennett, first ; class of '92, E. J. Case, second ; class of '93,
R. P. Gray, first.

In athletics we bear our share, having three men on the ball nine.
On the editorial staff of the Madisonensis for the past year we had three
of the five men. For the ensuing year we are represented by G. D.
Knights, editor in chief, and H. F. Yale, associate editor.

The Presidential chair, vacant by the death of Dr. Dodge, has been
offered to Dr. Hulburt, of Morgan Park Seminary, III., and the chair of
Systematic Theology in the Seminary, to Rev. W. N. Clark, D.D., pastor
of the Hamilton Baptist church. With these and other rumored changes
in the faculty, a new era of still greater prosperity opens out for Colgate
University ; and the Colgate chapter of Delta Upsilon is not going to fail
of keeping pace with every advance. William M. Bennett.

The Annual Glee Club concert held in Chickering Hall was more of a

Commencement Week. — The festivities of Commencement,
opened with Vice-Chancellor MacCracken's Reception to the Senior class,
Thursday, June 5th. Next evening the literary societies held their re-
union in one of the Halls. Saturday evening the Senior Illumination took
place at the University building. It is reported that the Seniors painted
the town red on this occasion. Sunday, the Baccalaureate Sermon was
preached in the University Place Presbyterian Church. Monday evening
was given up to the Phi Beta Kappa Oration. Tuesday the Class Day
exercises were held in the Berkeley Lyceum. They were very successful
and the building was unable to hold all the people who thronged to
attend. Dancing took place afterward in the gymnasium. Quite a large
number of Delta U.'s, accompanied by ladies, were present. Class dinners
were held Wednesday, and on Thursday evening Commencement took
place in the Metropolitan Opera House. Though the evening was very-
warm a large audience was present and paid close attention to the exer-
cises. The announcement that an alliance had been formed with the
Union Theological Seminary, whereby the University becomes one of the
six institutions in this country impowered to grant the degrees of arts,
science, law, medicine and theology, was received with long continued
applause. Brother Minasian, '85, received the degree of M. A.

The chapter possessed one of the best boxes and had it filled with a
charming array of appreciative guests. Delta U.'s present were the Rev.
John Reid, D.D., '70, of Yonkers ; the Rev. Theodore F. Burnham, '71,
of Amenia Union, N. Y. ; Prof. A. S. Isaacs, Ph.D., '71; William M.
Hoff, Jr., '73, and wife ; Martin J. Browne, '74; Eugene D. Bagen, '76,
and sisters; Cephas Brainerd, Jr., '81 ; Frederick M. Crossett, '84, and
wife; George A. Minasian, Esq., '85; J. Harker Bryan, M. D., '86; C.

'91 ; Robert Rudolph, '91 ; T. S. Hope, '92 ; J. E. G. Yalden, '93, and
Thornton B. Penfield, Columbia, '90.

The alumni meeting, Friday evening, was the largest that has gathered
in many years and brought to a close a most successful commencement.

Having only one man in the Senior class this year has limited the
number of important positions held by the chapter. While having no
representation in athletics, we have had the editors-in-chief of two of the
college papers, besides a number of assistant editors. Our social life has
been improving and we have to thank brothers Phillips and Reddy and
Yalden for pleasant entertainments at their homes. We are looking for-

ward hopefully for the coming year and hope to make it the most profit-
able in our history. On the first Monday in October the Rev. W. H. P.
Faunce, D.D., Brown, '80, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, is
to deliver the first of the " Monday Lectures." We are counting on giv-
ing him a warm reception.

The 19th of December marks the first quarter century of our life in
the University. We are planning to have public exercises in the Berke-
ley Lyceum, followed by a banquet.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY.

Commencement Week at Cornell passed off pleasantly. The Bacca-
laureate sermon was preached on the 15th of June, by the Rev. Dr.
Mackenzie, of Cambridge, Mass. Class day exercises were held on
Tuesday, at which Delta Upsilon was well represented by Brother John
W. Battin, '90, as Memorial orator. Brother Battin, as chairman of the
'90 Memorial Committee, raised $500 toward the new boat-house.
Tuesday night witnessed the most brilliant Senior Ball ever held at Cor-
nell. Fourteen of our men attended, including Brother Parke E. Sim-
mons, '81, of Chicago, 111. The chapter had a large double booth, in the
center of the semi-circle, decorated with gold and blue draperies. The
booth was pronounced by all to be the finest one there. On Wednesday
occurred the much discussed and long talked of three-mile and straight-
away boat race between Bowdoin and Cornell, Cornell winning by three
and one-half lengths. Brother Emerick, 91, is coxswain of the 'Varsity
crew again this year.

Wednesday the Delta U. alumni held a meeting at the chapter-house,
to which the under-graduate chapter was invited. The meeting did not
begin until 10 o'clock on account of the boat race. At 12 P. M., a -fine
luncheon, provided by the resident alumni and professors, was served,
and the meeting adjourned at 2.30 a. m.

Thursday, the 22nd, Commencement was held, at which 200 first and
second degrees were granted. Brother Battin was one of the orators.
The chapter lost seven men by graduation. Brother Battin took the
degree of Ph. B. ; Brothers Broughton and Cowles, E. E. ; Brothers Eidlitz,
Jackson and Lamont, B. L., and Brother Hammond, LL. B. Brother
Walter C. Bronson, Brown, '87, took the Master's degree in Arts.

1 am glad to report that the plans of a chapter-house, made by Brother
Packard, '86, has been adopted, and building will be begun as soon as
possible. All the plans submitted were very fine, and any one of them
would have made a grand house, but Brother Packard's plan was the
unanimous choice of the committee, and, in fact, of every one who saw
the plans. In the next letter a full account of it may be expected.

We were very much pleased to have with us at Commencement,

312 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

Brother Parke E. Simmons, '81, and Brother Allen A. Packard, '86, of
Chicago ; Brother George J. Tansey, '88, of St. Louis ; Brother Arthur
M. Curtis, '89, who has been teaching at Liberty, N. Y., and Brother
Leonard C. Crouch, '89, who has been teaching at St. Luke's School,
Busleton, Pa., and who will enter the Law School next year.

The chapter has been very fortunate in the elections for men on the
various boards for the coming year. Brother Fowler, '91, is editor-in-
chief of the Era ; Brother Tanner, '91, is on the Magazine board ; Brother
Beckett, '93, is on the Sun, and Brother Taylor, '92, is business manager
of '92 's Cornellian. Brother Battin, '90, and Brother Jackson, '90, were
on the Magazine board for '89-' 90, and Brother Fowler, '91, was on '91*5
Cornellian board. Brother Emerick, '91, is coxswain of the 'Varsity
crew and President of '91 ; Brother Broughton, '90, was on '9o's Senior
Ball Committee; Brother Barton, '91, was on the Crank for '89-'90, and
Brother Le Boeaf, '93, was on the Freshman Banquet Committee.

We return in October with 1 9 men, and we already have one man
pledged, who will be initiated as soon as the 'Varsity opens.

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY.

The past year has been the most prosperous in the history of our
growing University. Since last September, she has secured gifts and sub-
scriptions to the amount of $33,000, has raised the valuation of her prop-
erty to $1,600,000 and has greatly improved the scholarship.

Additions to the faculty have increased her possibilities. After teach-
ing fifteen years in Victoria College, Dr. Eugene Harnel was called, at
the beginning of the year, to the chair of Theistic Science. Already he
ranks among the first mineralogists of the country. Late last March,
Prof. Goetschus, of Stuttgart, Germany, was placed at the head of the
musical department in the fine arts college. But our chaptei is most
pleased to learn of the election of Ernest Noble Pattee, Rochester, '86, to
the newly-established chair of chemistry. The " boys in Delta U.'\
will give him a hearty welcome here.

Commencement Week brought to Delta U. her share of honors.
The class day oration was delivered by Brother Clark, and of the four
gentlemen chosen to appear commencement day, two were Delta U.'s,
Brothers Brockett and Somerville.

Three weeks before commencement, Brother Somerville, recently
married to Jessie M. Burdick, '93, left for Hutchinson, Kansas. The
large and flourishing Methodist church of which he had been elected pas-
tor, gave him a fine reception on his arrival at Hutchinson.

Brother Mead, '91, is the athlete of our chapter. At the Intercollegiate
field-day held here, he smashed two records, putting the shot 36-10, and

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 313

throwing the hammer 84-7. Brother Wright, '93, was third baseman on
the University Nine, and had the highest batting average.

Our annual banquet, held on Tuesday evening of commencement
week, brought together the old fellows and the boys. Like all such
•occasions, it gave us more enthusiasm for our beloved Fraternity.

During the summer's vacation most of our fellows will " loaf," some
will preach, while others will " farm it." Delta U.'s straying to Chatauqua,
will find Brother Torrey there, genial, good-natured, ready for fun with
the boys. Brother Takaki will travel, lecturing on the costumes, customs,
and manners of the Japanese people. Though still on crutches, Brother
Skinner, '91, will "be found" at Thousand Island Park.

Abbott Y. Wilcox.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.

The chapter has completed a prosperous year. We have not initiated
a large number of men, nor have we monopolized all the college offices ;
.but, nevertheless, we feel pretty well satisfied with the past. Speaking of
offices, we have had editois on the Argonaut and the Bulletin, vice-
presidents of the Lecture Association and the S. C. A., vice-president of
the Wesleyan Guild, presidents of the Geological and Mathematical
-clubs, two Senior committeemen and several other minor offices. This
may not be as good a showing as some of the chapters may make, but it
must be remembered just what college politics in the U. of M. is like.
The tactics of the ward caucus are only too freely used in pushing men
for office. Delta Upsilon, as a general rule, has kept herself free from
combinations. She does not always work with the Palladium fraternities,
and has nothing to do with the less important fraternities or with the
independents, concerning college politics.

The other fraternities in the University are fairly prosperous. Delta
Kappa Epsilon has just completed its first year of residence in its fine
new lodge. Four other societies expect to build expensive houses in the
near future : Chi Psi, Zeta Psi, Sigma Phi and Beta Theta Pi. Delta
Upsilon will probably have to rest content with its present quarters for
several years to come, but is confident of having a mansion some day which
will " scoop the rest."

Brother J. H. Drake, '85, instructor of Latin here, covered himself
with glory recently. To him is due almost all the entire credit of bringing
out, for the first time, in this country, the " Menaechini " of Plautus.
The play was first given in this city and afterwards repeated in Chicago.

The College Alumnae Association of Michigan, on May 30, gave a
reception to their invited guests in our chapter parlors. They have since
taken pains to express, in writing, their thanks to Delta Upsilon for the
use of the house. Only two weeks after this reception, our parlors were

314 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

again thrown open, this time to an affair of our own, the first hop of the
season. The Delta Upsilon parlors, which consist of five rooms, con-
nected with folding doors, are winning praises from everybody.

As we have stated in previous letters, we have initiated five men this
year, but not five Freshmen. Two of the number were so ambitious that
they worked up enough advanced credit to make them Sophomores.
We are glad to receive them as brothers, even if their desertion from the
Freshmen ranks has made the Sophomores outnumber the men of '93 in
the proportion of 1 1 to 3. Prospects for next year are flattering, for we
already have half-a-dozen good men in view.

Michigan has made a radical change in its methods of gaining
recruits. Hereafter, instead of temporary committees for each man
whose name is presented, we shall have one general committee, which
shall take charge of all the rushing. We have, besides the rushing com-
mittee, another permanent committee called the "honor" committee,
whose duty is to look after the interests of Delta U. in the way of offices,,
athletics, etc. What do the other chapters think of the idea ?

The members of this chapter have been somewhat disappointed in
the past, because so few Delta U.'s from other chapters have visited
them. Ann Arbor is on one of the great trunk lines between New York
and Chicago, and it would seem as if a good many of the western men.
who attend eastern colleges might pay us a visit on the way.

Michigan University, on the 26th, conferred 545 degrees, the largest
number, we believe, ever conferred by any educational institution in this
country. Six Delta U.'s received diplomas. The Commencement
address was delivered by Andrew D. White, formerly president of Cor-
nell. George H. Snow.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

It is a positive pleasure to review the chapter life of the last nine
months. We opened the year by entering commodious quarters and fur-
nishing them new throughout. It was a good move ; at any rate, we
have had phenomenal success ever since.

We had the three most important elective offices in college : Brother
Denny presided over the deliberations of the Senior class, Brother Holden
was editor-in-chief of the Syllabus, the annual published by the fraterni-
ties ; and Brother Haggerty was editor-in-chief of the Northwestern, the
college paper. It is quite extraordinary for these three honors to go to
one chapter in the same year.

Commencement Week. — We took our share of the prizes, six in
all, as follows : Political Economy, by Brother Scott ; 1st Hinman Essay,
by Brother Burton ; 2nd Hinman Essay, by Brother Haskins ; first Gage
Debate, by Brother Walrath ; 2nd Adelphic, oratorical, by Brother Demo-

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 315

rest ; and Kirk prize in oratory, by Brother Burch. As there are but twelve
prizes on literary contests and 3% went to the neutrals and one to a
sorority, only 1 % were left to be divided among the other five fraternities.
Looking at it from a cash basis, we took $205, to the other frats. $27.50.

Socially, as well, we had no reason to complain. Our annual banquet
was equal in elegance to any that has preceded it, and surpassed all in
number. The entire year was decidedly lively. Brother Hayes, '93,
helped to pull the hawser away from every tug-of-war team that pre-
sented itself in the City of Chicago. Brother Burch was one of the two
delegates to the convention at Ann Arbor which resulted in the form-
ation of the Northwestern Oratorical League, comprising the University
of Wisconsin, Oberlin, University of Michigan and Northwestern.

A chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established here this year, and of
the five keys which were awarded, Brothers Denny and Demorest each
received one, and Brother McDermott, '85, who graduated this year from
the college of Oratory, and who, by-the-way, trained Brother Burch for
the Kirk contest, also received one. Three out of five isn't bad for a
start, especially when one of the other two went to the neutrals. On
class day, Brother Denny occupied the president's chair and Brother
Parkes presented the gifts. On Commencement Day three of the ten
speakers who are selected for excellence in writing, speaking and general
scholarship, were Brothers Denny, Demorest and Burch. These exer-
cises also constitute the Kirk contest, $100 being awarded the best writer
and speaker, and this already triumphant year was crowned by the award
of this prize to Brother Burch.

Brother Demorest received special honors in Latin, Greek and English
Literature, Brother Scott in Political Economy and Chemistry, Brother
Parkes in Biology, Brother Burch in History, and Brothers Denny and
Demorest were first honor men. Brother Scott is going into business ;
Brother Denny, law ; Brother Parkes, medicine ; Brothers Burch and
Odgers, the ministry ; Brother Holden, journalism ; and Brother Demo-
rest holds a professorship in the Morgan Park Academy.

We undergraduates deeply regret the departure of this strong delega-
tion and can testify to their efficient support of the chapter and their loy-
alty to Delta U. It would be a strong chapter indeed that the loss of
seven such men would not weaken. But we have pledged five strong
men, who will enter Freshmen next Fall, and last term we initiated Amory
S. Haskins, '91, of Piper City, 111., who has been almost one of us ever
since he entered college, so we can count on nineteen men returning in
September. It begins to look as though Delta U. has a mortgage on
Northwestern. We most cordially invite all Delta U.'s to attend the
convention next October and visit the second city in the United States.

W. B. Walrath, '91.

316 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.

The past year has seen important changes in the chapter, most of
which have resulted advantageously. As the year closes we number
eighteen, of whom fourteen expect to return next term. This is a far
greater number than we have had at the opening of any previous year.
The chapter received its full share of honors during the spring term. Of
the five fellowships in the class of '90, two were awarded to Brothers
True and Cairns respectively, while Brother Smith was one of three to
receive honorable mention. Two of the three special honors conferred
at commencement were granted to Brother Bruce in Civics, and Brother
Cairns in English Literature. Brother Smith will remain in charge of the
University library at a remunerative salary, Brother Bruce was valedictorian
of the class. Besides these we have other lesser honors in abundance.

Commencement Week. — The graduation of '90 marked a change
from the system in which members of the class appeared on the program*
to that of an address by some educator from abroad. This year the
address was delivered by President E. B. Andrews, LL.D., Brown, 'yo, of
Brown University. The members of the Wisconsin chapter had the
pleasure of meeting President Andrews at the chapter ball after the
address, and it is needless to say that the privilege was fully appreciated.

W T e are all sorry to find that Brother Fred H. Whitton, '89, has resigned
his fellowship and will next year take charge of a private, school in
Detroit. Brother Whitton was a charter member of Wisconsin, and it is
largely due to his energy and devotion that the chapter survived the dark
days of its early history.

Next year we expect to enter a chapter-house, and our energies are all
-centered on making it a real chapter home. The house will be rented, as
are all the fraternity houses here, but is being built expressly for us, and
will be a model in the way of convenience for our uses. Now that we
will be able to receive in our own home, we especially renew our invitations
to all Delta U.'s who come our way to stop and see us.

Will B. Cairns.

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE.

Commencement Week passed off pleasantly ; '90 graduated fifty-six
men, with three specials. The resignation of President Knox was deeply
.regretted and his place will be hard to fill.

Delta Upsilon loses five men this year from her active members —
four engineers and one classical.

On class day, Brother Somerville was chairman of the music committee,
and also on the Senior Assembly committee. At the field sports, Brother
•Griffith received a medal for pole-vaulting. Brother Hempstead was
.business manager of the Melange, the college annual.

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 317-

Delta Upsilon held her fifth annual banquet at the Franklin House on
Monday evening. Twenty-two gathered around the festal board, at which
Brother Harry T. Beatty, '87, presided.

The following alumni were present : the Rev. U. W. Condit, Williams,
'47 ; George K. Angle, '85 ; John G. Conner, '87 ; Stewart Croasdale, '88 ;
Warren S. Blauvelt. Columbia, '90 ; Aaron H. Van Cleve, Lehigh, '90 ;.
also Clinton E. Walters, formerly '90, anil Charles M. Sciple, '92, of
New York city. The toasts were well responded to. It was an enjoyable
time for all ; and it was at an early hour when the company broke up
with rousing cheers for Delta U.

Through the kindness of an unknown friend, the engineers of the col-
lege were presented with an iron bridge. It was erected on the campus,
the work being done entirely by the Senior engineers. Brother Somer-
ville was chief draughtsman, and Brother Beal assistant engineer. The
bridge is to be taken down after commencement, and will be put together
again by each succeeding class, thereby gaining practical knowledge in
bridge building.

Several of our alumni brothers received the degree of A. M. Of the
'87 men, Harry T. Beatty, John G. Conner, Robert J. Rankin, John G.
Roe, also Kensey J. Stewart, '86, and George K. Angle, '85.

Brother Robbins, '90, has accepted the position of assistant engineer on
the West Virginia Central R. R , and will be located at Cumberland, Md..

LEHIGH UNIVERSITY.

The close of the college year finds the Lehigh chapter in a quietly-
prosperous and promising condition.

Commencement Week began June 16th. The Papal Inquisition,,
of which Calculus was the victim, took place Monday evening, on the
campus. Brother Shelby, '92, commenced the proceedings by reading
the Pope's bull.

Calculus was, of course, found guilty and executed with great eclat.
Tuesday was class day, and Brother Fink delivered the Tablet oration in
his customary dramatic style. The hop, given by the Junior to the Senior
class, followed in the evening. 90 was graduated on Thursday, num-
bering fifty-three men. Brother Van Cleve had the salutatory oration.

The university has been enjoying a remarkably successful year, espec-
ially in athletics. The class of '93 added some excellent material to the
baseball team, which made a very good record. Dashiell and Brother
Warriner (half backs of last years football team,) alternated in the
pitcher's box, the latter leading the team in batting. By defeating
Princeton in lacrosse we secured the college championship of the United
States. The Musical organizations are in better shape than ever before,.

318 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

and have received very fair support. Delta U. is represented by Brother
Shelby on the banjo club, Brother McCaskey on the orchestra, and Brother
Paine on the Glee Club. '94 promises a great deal, both in quantity and
quality, and we have commenced an active campaign. The '91 Epitome,
in which your scribe was interested, as secretary of the board, appeared
on the 26th of May, and was very well received. Brother Shelby, '92, has
been elected to next year's board.

Beside those already mentioned we modestly point to the following
offices and honors held by members of our chapter during the past term :
Acting president of the Chemical Society, president and treasurer of
Natural History Society, business manager Engineering Journal, mana-
ger Freshman Lacrosse team, treasurer Junior class, and four members
of the chapel choir.

Our Saturday afternoons, the usual loafing time for college boys, have
been rendered very delightful this term by the afternoon teas given to
the chapter by Mrs. Adams, the mother of one of our new men, and Miss
O'Hare. Such little oases in the desert of college bachelorism are
extremely acceptable. We enjoyed a very pleasant call near the end of
the term from Brother Yalden, New York, '93.

The graduating class takes with it four good Delta U.'s. : Warriner,
Fink, Piatt and Van Cleve ; leaving us ten men with which to begin the
September term. Lehigh sends warmest greetings to her sisters, and
best wishes for a jolly vacation and a victorious campaign.

TUFTS COLLEGE.

Never within the history of Delta Upsilon at Tufts has the chapter
been in as flourishing a condition as at present. During the past year we
have secured many men, who are proving a great aid to us in the success-
ful career of our chapter.

We have four members in the graduating class. Brothers F. T. Nel-
son, W. F. Sewall and W. C. Snow graduated from the regular course;
Brother A. G. Pettingell was in the Electrical Engineering department.
Brother Sewall had a commencement part, and it is very gratifying to us
to be able to say that not on account of standing were the others debarred
from that honor.

W. F. Sewall is 23 years of age. Residence, Livermore Falls, Me.
Fitted for college at Westbrook seminary ; he has always been active in
literary circles ; was chapter editor of the Quarterly, and for the past
year Editor-in-Chief of the Tuftonian, a semi-monthly published by the
Tufts College Publishing Association.

F. T. Nelson, 21 years of age, resides in Nashua, N. H., prepared for
■college at the Nashua High School. He took very high rank in his class,

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 319

was one of the associate editors of the Tuf Ionian and was also a mem-
ber of the " famous" Tufts College Glee and Banjo clubs.

W. C. Snow T , of Ottawa, 111., is 21 years old. He fitted for College at
the Ottawa High School, has always taken an active part in Educational
matters, and has proved to be one of the "old stock."

A. G. Pettingill, of Livermore Falls, Me., prepared for college at
Westbrook seminary, at time of graduation he entered the electrical course
at Tufts, and is now fully prepared to snatch the lightning from the clouds
in the most " shocking " manner. We have some excellent men remain-
ing in the chapter and next year we hope to increase our number.

The Fraternity may look to Tufts for the hearty support of Delta U.

John B. Weeks.

DE PAUW UNIVERSITY.

The University has completed a very successful year, it being the first
under the administration of Dr. John. Considerable change has been
made in the method of governing the students and in the course of study.
Better 1 pportunity is given for specializing. Departmental honors will
not be awarded in the future. The total enrollment for the year was
1038. The total number of graduates was 70, of whom 40 comprised the
Senior class of the College of Liberal Arts.

Commencement Week. — The Commencements of the Law and
Theological Schools occurred a few weeks before those of the other
schools. Commencement week opened with the graduating exercises of
the Normal School, with an address by Prof. W. L. Bryan, of the State
University. On Saturday night occurred the Preparatory Commencement.
Delta U. has already pledged three men from the graduating class.

On Sunday morning, at 10.30, the Baccalaureate sermon was delivered
by Bishop Thomas Bowman. At 3.15 the Annual Lecture was given by
Dr. Arthur Edwards, editor of the Northwestern Christian Advocate.

Probably the most attractive of the Commencement exercise was that
of class day on Wednesday. An excellent programme was arranged
and well executed. Brother John W. Sluss was one of the principal
performers and received congratulations on all sides. In the afternoon
an address was delivered by Col. Elliot F. Shepard, editor of the Mail
and Express, New York. In consequence of the inauguration of Dr.
John, the customary Senior addresses were dispensed with. The princi-
pal addresses were delivered by Bishop Bowman and President John. Of
the graduating class three were Delta U.'s.

Our record for the past year may be briefly summed up : Associate-
ediior of the college paper ; President of the Athletic Associasion ; one
first class and three second class departmental honors.

320 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.

The class of '90 which has just graduated has not afforded us much'
chance for honors as we were unfortunate, or, begging '90's pardon, for-
tunate in having only one man in the class, but the one we had passed in
good style and is now an A. B. Our new rooms have been our special
pride for the past year, and we take great pleasure in receiving our broth-
ers from out of town, who happen to be in the city. Our boys have been
quite active in athletics this year ; we had two men on the College foot-
ball team and one on the University Cricket eleven. We had men in the
College crews that won four races last Saturday. This is the first year
we have not had at least one man in the college eight-oared shell ; one of
our men had a place but he was taken ill about a month ago and com-
pelled to stop training. We have representatives on almost all of the
different class teams. At the last examinations we had three men on the
honor list. Last March we held our second annual banquet, nearly all
of our alumni were present, and all responded heartily to the toast of the
success of Delta U. Wishing all the other chapters a most pleasant sum-
mer vacation, the Pennsylvania chapter sends good-bye till the Fall.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA.

The Minnesota chapter returns thanks for her most cordial reception*
into the ranks of Delta U., and feels certain that the fraternal relations
so recently established, will develop into close and lasting ties of friend-
ship and brotherhood. The year has been one of unusual prosperity for
the University. The enrollment during the year has passed the 1,000
mark, and a still larger increase may be expected for the next year. The
large chemical and physical laboratory is fast reaching completion and
will be ready for occupancy in the Fall. When this building is finished,
the institution will be well equipped, with the exception of a library build-
ing and a gymnasium, both of which we hope to see erected in the near
future.

The law and medical departments are in an exceedingly prosperous
condition, the former turning out its first graduating class of 40 members,
the latter graduating 23. There were 44 degrees conferred in the college
of science, literature and arts, and 12 in the college of mechanic arts,
making the total number of graduates, at this its 18th commencement,
119, the largest in the history of the institution.

There are seven rival fraternities represented here : Chi Psi, Delta
Tau Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Kappa Epsi-
lon and Phi Gamma Delta; also two local societies. In the matter of
honors and representation we can lay claim to our full complement, and.
need fear comparison with none.

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. 32 I

Of the one college paper, the Ariel, Brother Clark, '91, is editor-in-
chief ; Brother Richardson, '90, reporter for the medical department ; and
Brother Carroll, '91, reporter for the mechanical department. Brother
Shaw, '90, was an editor on '90's Gopher, the college annual. Although
none of our men took part in this year's field day sports, yet we can lay
claim to some athletic honors. Brother Shaw for two years held the uni-
versity record for long distance running. Brothers Richardson and Shaw
are on both the reserve foot-ball team and *9o's team, which has yet to be
defeated by another class team. Interest in baseball has been much
greater than in any previous year, and our college team has done, on the
whole, excellent work. Brother Brabec, '90, as pitcher, has proved himself
well nigh invincible. He has played this position on the team for three
years.

Brother Stacy, '91, is president of the Oratorical Association and Bro-
ther Chowen, '91, a delegate to the State Oratorical convention ; Brother
Wilson, '90, is Big Medicine man and Brother Shaw, '90, wampum holder
of the Indian club; Brother Chowen, '91, is president of the engineer
society and I brother Carroll, '91, last year's business manager, is now
treasurer of the same society ; Brother Brabec is vice-president of the
rink association ; Brother Shaw is a member of the banjo club, a member
of the press club, and a lieutenant in the cadet corps ; Brother Covell, '90,
was the vice-president of the Delta Sigma literary society, and Brother
Chowen a tenor in the chapel choir. Brothers Wilson, '90, and Brabec,
'90, in connection with their university work, taught in the Minneapolis
evening schools during the winter term. Brother Clark, '91, was given
permission by the faculty, and assigned a room in which to conduct a
class in stenography and type-writing of those who desired to pursue this
line of work in connection with their other work.

The Senior class day exercises were the most enjoyable that have ever
been held here ; Brothers Cutts, Wilson and Shaw were on the committee
of arrangements. Brother Brabec, as class statistician, presented one of
the most pleasing parts of the programme. The mock faculty meeting
was the feature of the programme ; Brothers Richardson, Brabec and
Shaw assumed roles, the former making a decided hit. The Senior
promenade, held in the coliseum, was a very brilliant and select affair.
Brothers Covell, Richardson and Shaw served on the committee, of which
the former was chairman. Brothers Beach and Shaw, '90, served on the
memorial committee. At the commencement exercises, Brothers Cutts,
Wilson and Covell delivered orations, and Brother Shaw received honor-
able mention for work in the history department.

Realizing that a chapter house is one of the most important aids to
a chapter's success, we have just closed a lease for the pretty sixteen-room
house, No. 617 15th Ave., S. E. Minneapolis. The location is particularly

32 2 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

fine and is convenient to the university. It contains three chapter rooms,
ten sleeping rooms, kitchen, dining-room and bath-room, all admirably
arranged for our purposes. At present we are busily engaged in renova-
ting and furnishing, in the hope that we may have everything in order and
homelike when our members outside of the city return after vacation.

Our initiates were given a hearty reception by the other fraternities,
and, according to custom, were bounced in royal style. We have several
good men in view from the lower classes, and are already making arrange-
ments for chapter quarters. With a strong alumni association to aid and
encourage us, we look forward to a prosperous career.

BROWN UNIVERSITY.

The departure of our '90 delegation recalled, among other facts, a
singular feature of its history. There were connected with the delegation,
during its four years of active service, thirteen men (a significant number),
and only one of the original delegation remained to graduate. While the
aggregate might annoy the somewhat superstitious brothers, it did not
interfere, however, with the success of the delegation. Both introduction
and conclusion to its four years' history record a prize. The total amount
of money received as prizes by the delegation was nearly $300 — a large sum
considering the fact that Brown gives an extremely small amount of prize-
money to its students. At Commencement, Delta U. outstripped all her
competitors. Brothers Watjen, McMurry and Newell were among the
ten speakers ; Brothers Dealey and Stockwell were ranked among the
first six men in the class ; Brother McMurry received special honors in
Philosophy, Brothers Dealey and Lisk in Greek, Brother Dealey in History
and Political Science (the first time this honor was ever awarded), and
Brother Newell in Analytical Chemistry. Brother Dealey also received
the Foster Greek prize and Brother Watjen the Philosophical Essay prize.
In brief, Delta U. received five out of a possible eleven prizes.

Brother Stockwell will teach in Philadelphia and Brother Lisk in
Huntsville, Ala. ; Brother McMurry will enter Harvard Law School and
Brother Watjen will take a course at Newton ; Brother Newell will con-
tinue at Brown as a candidate for the degree of M.A., and an assistant
in the chemical laboratory.

In the Sophomore declamations the second prize fell to Brother Stone.

The year has been successful in every way and we feel that our record
will be of material assistance in the coming campaign.

MARIETTA COLLEGE.

Marietta greets her sister chapters from her summer quarters on the
peaceful banks of the Muskingum. In one of the prettiest and most con-

venient retreats in the State, twelve of her sons have met to continue inx
the free relations of camp life the class associations of the college year,,
and to experience in a new way the benefits of fraternity existence- Sev-
ered from our college duties, we have resigned ourselves to the uninter-
rupted occupation of novel-reading and singing of Delta U. songs, withi
occasional resort to the pleasures afforded by the river at our feet. Un-
trammeled by the ties of society, we are yet separated only by the river's
breadth from the enjoyment of social intercourse with the fair friends of
Delta U., some of whom have taken up their summer residence on its
banks. In sight of the passing trains and steamers our Fraternity banner
floats in the breeze side by side with the flag of the Union, to bid welcome*,
to any stray brothers who may be travelling our way.

With commencement past it is possible to present in brief review the*
work of the year, with its triumphs and defeats, and from this to gain-
wisdom for the Fall campaign. In literary work we have kept our usual
high place. Morris and Ward, '90, and Shedd, '91, have been on the-
Olio board ; and of the six editors for the coming year, three are Delta
U. men. Of the four society librarians we have furnished three, and will
supply the same number next year; while three of our men are members-
of the college glee club. Jones, '91, and Cooper, '92, among others, have
maintained the high standard of our Fraternity in scholarship by carrying
off first place in their respective classes. The first Junior prize essay
and second prize Declamation were won by Delta U. men. In other
fields of fraternity and college work, we think we have not fallen behind
our predecessors. During the year just closed we have initiated six mei\
from the class of '93. Brothers Bartlett, Miller and Shedd during the
commencement of '89, Hayward and Morrison during the first term of
'90, and John Quincy Eaton during the last term. Of our whole number,,
twenty-one, we have lost only one, Miller, '93, who has left college for the-
present to engage in business. With the graduation of the class of '90,.
our chapter has lost the active membership of three men, Moore, Morris-
and Ward, who have done much to upbuild it, and whose loss will be
greatly regretted by the remaining members ; especially by the incoming;
Seniors, who have been associated with them for three years and have
profited by their instruction.

Our greatest anxiety is with regard to men from '94. Owing to the-
poor quality of the larger part of that class in the preparatory department,,
we have found it impossible to secure men, who we believed would main-
tain the high standard which we try to uphold. Hence our hope of
obtaining men lies in those who are expected from other preparatory-
institutions. Nevertheless we have great faith in the final success of
Delta U., and are looking hopefully forward to the opening of the Fall
"campaign."

324 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

Commencement Week this year was unusually interesting to our
chapter, owing to the fact that it commemorated the successful comple-
tion of twenty years of fraternity existence. The exercises of the week
began Sunday afternoon with the Baccalaureate Sermon by President
Eaton, and the address in the evening before the Y. M. C A. Monday
afternoon came the prize Declamations, four of the eight speakers being
Delta U. men. In the exhibition of the literary societies, we were well
represented. Tuesday was devoted, as usual, to the alumni, who were
addressed in the morning by Dr. Maxwell, of Cincinnati, and in the even-
ing by Dr. Little, of Boston. The graduating exercises took place
Wednesday morning in the City Hall, which was packed. Of the ten
orations delivered, two were by our men. In the evening occurred the
annual fraternity banquets, which were held early in order to give oppor-
tunity to attend the President's Reception, given in the literary society
halls. This year a new fraternity was numbered among the banqueters,
Alpha Tau Omega, which has been established with ten members. An
unusually large number of our alumni assembled with us in our hall at
the supper hour to celebrate the chapter's birthday. After a good supper
and much social enjoyment we adjourned with many good wishes and
strong hope for the future.

kite, may be attached with equal facility either to a wagon on land or a
raft on the water. Bouyancy is furnished to a set of *sails with winglike
attachments by means of small balloons. The passenger car is located
midway between the sails and raft (or wagon if on land), and from this
queer affair is managed by means of rope and tackle. The greater num-
ber of sails used the greater, it is said, will be the speed attained — always
provided there is a wind and no accident happens. — N. Y. Press.

action against P. H. Sumner, A. E. Sumner, Emma Sumner, the latter's
wife, and B. G. Bloss, to set aside a conveyance of two-thirds of the
"" Horn Tavern " farm near Riverhead. The old people, who are advanced
in years, were anxious to sell their farm, and Sumner, as their agent,
found a purchaser for one-third of it in Dr. Louis Marquet, of New York
city. The plaintiffs claim that Sumner obtained a deed of the remaining
two-thirds on false and fraudulent representations, which led them to be-
lieve they were deeding only one-third. The $2,500 received for the
part bought by Dr. Marquet was never given to them, but Sumner
induced them to take instead twenty-five shares of the Gilbert Lock Com-
pany, of Newark, N. J., which was of no value. The two-thirds were
subsequently deeded to Captain E. M. Reynolds, U. S. A., Sarah F.
Reynolds and B. G. Bloss, of the Mutual Reserve Fund, of New York.
Justice Bartlett, of the Supreme Court, gave judgment for the plaintiffs,
setting aside the deed to Arthur E. Sumner to the extent of one of the
two-thirds it conveyed and that all personal property must be restored or
a money value of $500. — N. Y. Press.

34© DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

" All of the brothers who are in town and have received their Quarterly
are loud in its praises. It is head and shoulders above all the other
publications." — E. C. Warriner, '91. president Michigan chapter.

much pleased with it." — E. B. Barnes, Cornell, '%&, Minneapolis, Minn.

" February Quarterly received to-day. It is edited with great
industry, taste and ability ; packed full of meat well digested. It is
worth to me the price of subscription for the entire year. I have enjoyed
the introduction to Attorney General Miller, President Andrews and the
Rev. W. H. P. Faunce. William Bross was with us in original Social
Fraternity, a judicious adviser and helper in the organization, and a sturdy,
energetic, Christian gentleman." — F. W. Tappan, Esq., Williams, '37.

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT. 341

The May number of the Quarterly has just reached me and I can-
not refrain from expressing my appreciation. It is grand ! You are tak-
ing steps in the right direction, which if kept up, will make our organ the
means of infusing new ardor in the alumni and increase the enthusiasm
of all D. U. undergraduates ; at the same time, serving as a means of
drawing to us the best of the lay material that in the future will swell
the ranks with loyal Delta U.'s. I send a check for five dollars, which
I hope to repeat for many years, and you will please consider my yearly
subscription to be five, instead of one dollar. Always consider yourself
free to call on me at any time my services, in any line, can be put to good
use in the advancing of Delta U.'s interests. — E. A. H. Tays, Union, '84.

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT.

"Delta U. needs some new songs. — February Delta Upsilon
Quarterly. But it needs no new editor ; its February number is a
work of art." — April Alpha Tau Omega Palm.

" The Delta Upsilon Quarterly opens vol. 8, with a Christmas
number. It contains convention notes, extended Greek notes, and more
graduate personal items than any other journal which we receive. It is
newsy and neat, and wears the appearance of a successful career. The
long experience of Editor Crossett makes it easy for him to produce a
" multum in parvo " journal. Its 72 pages contain more matter in con-
densed form than may be found in any other two." — Theta Delta Chi
Shield.

" The strong attachment which the late William Bross, of Chicago,
had for Delta Upsilon, is of more honor to that Fraternity than would be
the names of a dozen presidents of the United States, who had less of
real worth and interest in Delta Upsilon ; and while a great State mourns
the loss of her Ex-Lieutenant Governor, and a great city the loss of a
patriarch in journalism, no tribute of respect is more worthy of the man
than the portrait and sketch • of his life which the last number of the
Delta Upsilon Quarterly gave."— Sigma Chi Quarterly, May,
1890.

" We always take up the Delta Upsilon Quarterly with a feeling
of assurance that our time spent on it will not be wasted. We heartily
advise every chapter of Delta Tau Delta to send a dollar to the Quarterly
and take the journal for a year. Its pages of Greek Letter Gossip are
exceedingly valuable, and its editorials always pointed and sensible. In
this last number every one of its twenty-five chapters were represented by
chapter letters. The Delta U. News Items and Alumni of Delta U. are
about as nearly perfect as anything of the sort we have seen in any
journal." — Rainbow of Delta Tau Delta,
