Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It 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 difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia 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 tliis resource, we liave taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain fivm 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 attributionTht GoogXt "watermark" you see on each file is essential for in forming 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 book 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 it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liabili^ can be quite severe.

(Written in Hamilton CoUege bnrial-sronnd.)
Here on the hill
Are gathered side by side the honored dead,
Who in past years had championed truth, until
Their day had sped.
After the years,
A^Tien day by day their toil had ever been
To search for truth and finding, seek the ears
Of Qinton's men :
After the toil,
The endless toil ; and, as their heads grew white.
The weariness ; beneath the dewy soil
They face the night.
On every hand,
The venerable halls they loved so well
Amid their elms and soft deep grasses stand.
And that same bell.
Which as of old,
Still marks the ceaseless flight of hours that sped.
To add their sum to all that now have rolled
Across their bed;
And far away.
Are those green hills, that at the break of mom,
Thus touched with gold, reflect the earliest ray
Of day new-bom.
And so here lies
The dust of those great teachers, silently
Awaiting the first gold of that sunrise
Which ushers day.
2 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
THE HAMILTON CONVENTION*
By Byron Reed, Union, '06.
ENJOY the convention ? Well, rather. I'd rather have been there than
"to have held Teddy Rooseveh's hat for five minutes in fever-stricken
New Orleans the other day," as our toastmaster put it. What left the
strongest impression on you ? The banquet ? The theatre ? Not so here. Ill
forget them in time. Two figures form the prominent feaitures in Delta
Upsilon's Seventy-first Convention, Ridgway and KK's representative,
Corrigan. Do you agree?
Well, to begin, Wednesday evening we were warmly welcomed at
the station by Hamilton representatives and registered at the Bagg's hotel,
where we began art once to get acqtninted with men from all over. After
a welcome supper, an informal smoker was held in the dining room,
where everyone met everybody else and said the same thing over with
variations, while the double quartette did their level best to get our wan-
dering attention. However, we did applaud conscientiously, whether
we'd listened or not. After a while Brother Goldsmith mounted a chair,
and stooping to avoid the ceiling, aniiotmced in a really serious tone that
the business session would begin at nine sharp, not ten minutes past
After a good sleep and a breakfast which tasted good when we got
it — for if anticipation is the truest pleasure, our most pleasurable hours
were spent in Bagg's dining-room — we hastened up Genesee street to the
hall, in order to be in time for the nine o'clock session. The Executive
Council arrived at about a quarter of ten, and the first business session
was opened. Don't let's dwell on the details, other than to mention the
exceptionally good address of welcome, and the fine report of the Execu-
tive Council, which showed a vast amount of work done during the past
year. Of course we forgot to bring our credentials. Did you?
After adjournment, luncheon was in order at the hotel and we began
to feel really acquainted with each other and almost able to tell where most
of the men came from. The second business session was more exciting.
Most of the amendments were railroaded through in short order, but
when it was argued that because we could not adequately pay the Sec-
retary of the Executive Council, we ought to reduce his present salary
by two-thirds, we kicked. Then Brothers Penfield and Crossett had an
interesting little tilt over an unimportant amendment, and as a result,
it was tabled. When the amendments were attended to, the Columbia
senior delegate started the ball rolling by suggesting something, which
be was "certain would be put through," in the shape of a fraternity
hat-band. I've forgotten the exact design, but, at any rate, Rutgers began
the opposition by considering it "too trivial a matter" to be discussed.
Columbia wondered whether a hat-band was any more trivial than the
whistle, considered last year. Alas! It received the same treatment as
THE HAMILTON CONVENTION 3
the sweet little whistle. Cheer up, Columbia. It ought to be mentioned
that Minnesota Alumni's representative was instructed to vote "no"
to everything, willy-nilly. He was faithful unto death.
After supper we went to the Majestic and occupied the entire front
half of the house. Williams, from a lofty box, seemed to enjoy the
performance as well as the rabble below. Marie! Marie I Marie Marie I
Decked out with gold and blue ribbons, the sweet-voiced, unaffected
little star left a good impression. Her songs, catchy and cute, were taken
up and sung with a will by the fellows. During the intermission wt
had a house-warming of our own — sang and yelled, finally hunting up
a delegate to pound die box, rising to a man, and making the welkin
ring with the Fraternity Ode. The rest of the audience clapped enthu-
siastically. After the theatre, we went home to bed, of course.
At about ten-thirty Friday morning, the last business session opened.
The delegates from KK of Illinois were brought in. Corrigan, in a
plain, able, honorable speech, with no attempt at "frills," took the con-
vention off its feet, and precipitated a tempest of applause. After they
had retired, Michigan, Wisconsin and others endorsed them. The dele-
gates of one chapter asked for an informal ballot; it was one long
"Aye." Amidst a terrific uproar they disregarded instructions and
made the formal ballot unanimous. What a reception there was when
Corrigan and his two companions came in. With a few simple words he
expressed their thanks and a ripple of laughter greeted the inspiration of
Brother Harris, who furnished the new pledge buttons wWch were put
on the Illinois men by Brother Norton. Another incident to be remem-
bered was Minnesota's suggestion that the pin be worn only on the vest.
Someone asked plaintively, "Sposin' I hain't got no vest on?" Minne-
sota rejcrined that out there they usually wear something, and the
matter was tabled. Brother Goldsmith, thinking that his amendment in
regard to alumni subscribing to the "Quarterly" had been passed too
hastily, moved to reconsider it. Everybody except Harvard thought that
it was O. K., and ought to stand, so we turned cbwn his motion in order
to uphold his amendment. By the way, you didn't second any motions,
did you, Northwestern or Lehigh, or California?
After this session we congregated on the Post Office steps and were
taken by "the man behind the tripod." Chicago led the singing and
Michigan Junior the mashing. After the suspense was over, we hur-
ried to the hotel, fed, and took the trolley to Qinton.
The time on the way up was spent in singing and listening. When
we reached Clinton, we were transferred to hacks and conveyed to Ham-
ilton's beautiful campus. After wandering at>out the grounds, we gath-
ered in the Chapel to hear the Literary Exercises. The history was
really exciting, and when the dear old white-headed, snowy-bearded
I
4 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
firsft President of the Hamilton Chapter, Waldo, of 1848, was brought
forward, there were misty eyes in the audience. i
And then, Ridg^ay. After declaring himself a plain business man,
and no orator, he held the whole crowd spell-bound for twenty-five
minutes in what was the truest type of "oration" ever heard at a con-
vention. Original thought of high order, fearlessly, clearly, and grandly
expressed, such was Ridgway's speech. Weren't you glad you were a
Delta U. after hearing him ?
After the exercises we went down to Hamilton's fine chapter house
and regaled ourselves on doughnuts and cider. Yum, yum ! And then,
back to Utica. Something was the matter with the "juice" on the way
back but with such a forcible, magnetic crowd, the cars couldn't entirely
stop, and we used personal magnetism, and hot air to help us on.
"Presto chango!" and we were in dress suits, seated aroimd beau-
tifully decorated tables at the banquet. Songs, and yells, and yells and
songs, filled in between mouthfuls and courses. After finishing the feed-
ing process we hurried around, getting autographs. Wonder if I got
yours ?
Wasn't the toastmaster a corker? Seems to me it's a crime to wait
until a man's filled up and then make him laugh until he's sore. Just one
bit of repartee ought to be recalled. Brother Blair, Toastmaster, referred
to Methusaleh and the other ancients, who, despite their long lives, seemed
worthy of record chiefly because they begat someone else. "How much
we might accomplish if we could but live a few hundred years," he said.
In his speech a little later President Stryker of Hamilton referred to
"Toastmaster Blair lamenting that he had not as many children as Methu-
saleh."
Toastmaster Blair (interrupting) : "I shall invest in an incubator
at once."
President Stryker : "Well, you've been laying for me all the evening.**
Brother Ridg^ay closed the toast list with a short and able speech,
and after the report of the Committee on Resolutions had been adopted,
we adjourned and "Goodbyes" were in order.
Vale.
The banquet's o'er, the play is done,
The faces fade, the voices gone;
The days of mirth, so loth to last
Have joined the dreamland of the past.
But Inspiration cannot die,
And graven deep in Mem'ry lie
The stalwart forms, the ringing cheer;
The songs, still faintly sweet, we hear ;
THE LITERARY EXERCISES
The hand with hand-clasp still a-tingle,
The clean-cut faces still commingle,
Reminders dear of God-sent food ;
A taste of glorious brotherhood.

THE TROLLEY TRIP*
THAT was a gjeat scheme to corral us for the Literary Exercises.
No one wanted to miss the trolley ride to Qinton, and after we
had teard that interesting history by Brother Powell, touching on the
early days of the Hamilton chapter, and that inspiring oration by Brother
Ridgway, no one was sorry he came. Will you ever forget that oration r
The trolley trip back was better than the trip down. The "Quarterly"
should have had a reporter on each car instead of only one. What did
it matter that the load was a little heavy for the current? When someone
remarked. "This car must be run by milk!" who was inspired to add:
"and the heifer's lost!"? "Tammany" was responsible for some g^eat
parodies. The "gasolene" chorus was very pat. Here's another :
Utica, Utica
First we loaf for half an hour,
Then we have to stop for power,

Brother Ridgway was embalmed in verse and song to the air of
"Lydia Pinkham" thus:
6 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
We will sing of Erman Ridgway
And that wonderful speech of his,
How he put it all over the ladies
Because they arc no good for biz.
And then we reached Utica and it was a grand rush into the starched
breast plates that made all fraternity men look alike to President Stryker
at the banquet.
THE CONVENTION BANQUET*
REALLY we did not expect such a good banquet. The program (as
corrected) did not tell us all that was to oome. We didn't know all of
the speakers very well until afterward. But we knew then what we would
have missed if we hadn't been lucky enough to be there.

As I say, we didn't quite know what was coming. But when Toast-
master Blair started the speaking we knew we were in for a good time.
He struck from the shoulder. He gave the keynote when he called for
the young man of the day to "have more get up and get — more Jerome-
ism." His vigorous introductions started every speaker at his best and
his startling repartee during the speeches added immensely to the fun.
He took occasion, too, to say a word for the "Quarterly," which was well
advertised through the whole convention. Brother Goldsmith isn't as
green as the cover of his magazine.
Professor Brigham brought on a storm of applause when he referred
to the fact that two years was spent at G)lgate by Brother Charles E.
Hughes, Brown, '81, and again when he spoke of "Brother Jerome, what
he has done, is doing and shall do."
President Stryker of Hamilton College, a Sigma Phi, won our hearts
when he said: "When I heard that strong, virile speech this afternoon
and saw how it was received I knew I was in the company of a body
of men — real men." President Stryker now lives in the house in which

the Hamilton chapter was founded. This was news to him. He said,
"That accounts for the air of sanctity I have noticed." His application
of our motto and our monogram was strikingly good : "Duty the Under-
pinning."
Brother Gifford gave a serious talk enlivened by some good stories
and Brother Ridgway justly complained that he had done enough without
substituting for Brother Jerome. "Hereafter it's me for the light under
the bushel," he said. He referred to the work of reform in New York
City, saying, "The crimes of the times were shown through a medium
controlled by a Delta U. The Legislative insurance investigation is being
conducted by a Delta U., and when Hughes is through the work will be
handed over to another Delta U., District Attorney Jerome." He did not
say that the medium referred to was Everybody's Magazine^ published by
the Ridgway-Thayer Co.
As usual the cheering was a prominent feature of the banquet and
there were one hundred and ninety voices to join in the cheers for each
speaker. The singing was exceptionally good. One of the "old-timers"
remarked on the fact that there were more good songs of the individual
chapters and colleges than usual. The flowers at the speakers' table
were the gift of the Hamilton Chapter of Sigma Phi. Brother John
S. Briggs presented the Rochester collection of Delta U. songs that was
at each place.
The banquet closed with "America" to which the McGill and Toronto
boys added a verse of "God Save the King." Truly it was a good
convention.
FROM THE KK CLUB
THE news that the Delta Upsilon Fraternity had granted a charter to
the KK Qub was received at the house at noon Friday, October 27.
That the news was received with enthusiasm by the members of the club
is needless to say. For the past six weeks the thing uppermost in the
mind of every KK was the outcome of our petition. We had worked
hard to get in touch with the chapters of the fraternity, and the result
was impatiently awaited. When the good news came, all the troubles
and disappointments of the past were forgotten in the thought that we
were soon to be members of the Delta Upsiton Fraternity.
Our feeling of satisfaction is greatly intensified by the most sincere
and hearty congratulations we have received from all sides. From fra-
ternities, sororities, members of the Faculty, and individual students we
have received evidences of the outside interest in our success. In Ae
words of one of the local chapters, "It is with a feeling of satisfaction
that we see added to the fraternities at Illinois one of such high standing
8 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
and splendid record as Delta Upsilon." And from the Dean of Under-
graduates, "I am glad to see such a good fraternity has been secured by
such a good collection of fellows."
It will not be without some feeling of regret, however, that we shall
see the passing of KK. For the past three years our organization has
exerted a strong influence in University affairs. In the face of many
difficulties we have g^wn and prospered, and commanded respect and
recognition from the University community. Hence, we feel that we are
giving up a name that means much to us. Yet we hope that the same
principles and traits that made KK respected and honored win make the
chapter of Delta Upsilon to be established at Illinois, one that the fra-
ternity may point to with pride.

MONEY AND THE MAN-
By Erman J. RiDGWAY, Northwestern, '91.*
THERE can be no doubt that today as never before, in politics, in busi-
ness, in the home, the money question is the paramount issue. So
much has been said about it that even the women almost understand it,
while the men are in danger of becoming utterly confused.
Because I know a little about money and more about man, and because
the question is timely and therefore interesting, but most of all because
I hope to clear away some of the confusion and help you to see them in
their true relations, I have chosen for my subject, "Money and The Man."
An explanation is due the women present for omitting them from
the discussion. I might plead that attaching the subject to them would
put it beyond my comprehension; that only young men and ex-Presi-
dents may speak with authority on woman's place and rights. Such a
plea would be cowardly evasion. The truth is I omit woman because
woman has no place in the subject. In full realization of the possible
serious consequences to myself, I make this daring unqualified assertion.
In practical business aflFairs, woman is a cipher. Woman has never
known, does not now know, and probably never will know anything about
monev. And she never should.
* Oration delivered at the Literary Exercises of the seventy-first annual convention off
the Delta Upsilon Fraternity, Clinton, N. Y., October j6, 1905.
MONEY AND THE MAN ii
The millions of girls employed in offices and factories at starvation
wages ought to be in school. Not so much because they are robbing
men and driving them to the road, but because they are robbing them-
selves — selling their birthright. And through no wish of their own, yen
may be sure. It is another of those ghastly crimes against humanity
committed for gold and in the name of business. Woman does not need
to be told her place by ex-President Qeveland or President Roosevelt
or anybody else. Her intuition, her heart, whispers it to her long before
she has put on long dresses ; and woe to her who hearing does not heed.
To her who hears and heeds the sweetest joys of life are given. Joys
which men can never know. Woman has a work compared to which
the work of making ephemeral fortunes is puny and ignoble. Woman
makes everything good in the world including good men. Her work
is fundamental. Her power is primate. Her sphere is from everlasting
to everlasting.
May I repeat, woman knows nothing about money, cares nothing
about business. She has no part in the mad scramble for dollars. She
is jealous of it, she resents it, she deplores it. Man may have superior
reasoning faculties, but through wcmian's instinct is the way of Redemp-
tion. The man who advises with a good wife or mother never gets far
from right and happiness. The nation that most honors women captains,
the MTorld. The spoiled beauties who drown their souls in a perfumed
bath of luxurious futility have lost their way. I remember one who went
from New York to Chicago in her private car attended by a retinue of
servants, to consult Dr. N. S. Davis. She was obliged to await her turn
in the office of the old democrat doctor with the common herd and when
finally admitted to put her dollar consultation fee on the table just like
the rest. After half an hour's interview, Dr. Davis said: "Madam,
you have a country place?" "Yes, Doctor." "Have you by any chance
a spring on the place?" "Why, yes, about half a mile from the house."
"Well, I prescribe that you go twice a day to that spring and drink a
pint of water." "But, Doctor, I came way out here in my private car
to learn what is wrong." Madam, your malady is not treated in the books
of my profession. The trouble with you as I diagnose your case is you
are just plain lazy."
Now to my theme. Money and The Man. Money is a great con-
venience. You are not likely to forget that. Imagine the consternation
of Mr. Dunlap if I were to offer him fifty copies of Everybody's Maga-
zine as pay for my hat. What wouldn't the New York Central ticket
agent say if I were to poke a couple of hundred magazines through his
window for my ticket to Utica and back ? He would have to stop selling
tickets and go to selling magazines to get his money back. What would
the poor wife of the man who makes threshing machines do when she
needed pin money? The college professor would be obliged to leave
12 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
portions of his brain with the grocer and the tailor and the ticket agents
which would not profit them and would leave him poor indeed. Money
is a great convenience. Of late, there has been a heap of hysteria about
tainted money. There is only one kind of tainted money — counterfeit
money. I can remember when stolen apples tasted very sweet
Would I steal apples now? No. Woirid I accept stolen property ir
Well, that depends. If the property had been stolen in such a
way that it could not possibly be returned, I might permit myself
to be persuaded to assume the responsibility of putting it to good
use. If the thief were driven by his conscience to disgorge, it would be
positively unchristian to deny him the opportunity. I believe that money
can be accepted from big thieves without in any sense justifying or even
palliating thievery^ To me, the worst features about accepting money
from a Rockefeller or a Carnegie is the humiliation. It seems like
colossal effrontery for Carnegie to take our money from us by the millions
and give it back to us by the mills. And we take it and say: "Thank
you, Mr. Carnegie, Laird of Skibo, we will put your name on the library
and we will tax ourselves to support it. You are a fine man, Mr. Car-
negie, a fine and clever man. Your trust takes out of our community every
year in excessive prices enough to build a dozen libraries, but we haven't
brains enough to stop it — not brains enough in our community, not brains
enough in our Congress, not brains enough in our entire country." A
humiliating confession, I say. But, say our legislators, we must protect
our infant industries. Rather a husky infant, that Steel Trust. What
grinds me hardest is their selling abroad fifty per cent cheaper than they
do at home. No! That community which has public spirit enough,
and self respect enough to decline Mr. Carnegie's offer and build its own
library has my profound admiration. But as long as such a community
is the exception, we would better go on accepting libraries and getting
.as much good as possible out of a bad matter. It is but fair to Carnegie
.and his kind to admit that the world is full of would-be Camegies. The
rspirit that made him and the homage that exalts him are of a kind.
Society may be likened to a beautiful shrub. The rich are the flowers.
But the shrub made the flowers and if they are not fragrant whose the
Tesponsibility ? America is the only nation that has ever given itself com-
;pletely over to the empty labor of piling up money. When Greece had
enough to live on, she gave her time to art and her art has not since
been equalled. Some of the Europeans have, I think, learned a better
way than ours. Men who retire between the ages of forty and fifty are
•common in France. They do not give up business suddenly, but work out
of it gradually. They give their sons and other peoples' sons a chance.
The benefit to themselves and in time to the nation cannot be computed.
Has every man his price? "I wouldn't do it for a million dollars."
•Of course not. The price is so high and the contract so definite that no
MONEY AND THE MAN 13
sophistry can wheedle me into trading my honor. But many a man would
turn down a million dollar offer who sells his honor for a trifle. The
clerk who has gambled and means to pay it back. The man who needs
it to tide over his business. The Congressman who is living beycMid his
means. The lawyer who must look after his client's interests. Before
a stark naked bribe, most men are honest. But dress it in the clothes of
custom and only the strongest will pass it without bowing.
The phrase "I wouldn't trade places with Rockefeller" is well nigh
universal. Pin down the next man who uses the phrase. Ask him why
he wouldn't change places with Rockefeller. Old, bald-headed, bad
stomach, impopular. There remaineth these three, >'outh, digestion and
popularity and the greatest of these is popularity.
It is a deplorable fact that we are taught to hold the respect of the
community in higher esteem than our self-respect. Because we could
not have our self respect in Rockefeller's place ought to be our reason
for being unwilling to change places with him. We are responsible for
the Rockefellers and all the rest. We made their business respectable.
Our innocence at first, then our admiration for success. Then our pathetic
homage. Remember what you and I and Carnegie did for poor Charlie
Schwab. A clean, able, young fellow, hard working, ambitious. Car-
negie put him at the head of the Steel Trust. The newspapers and maga-
zines featured him extravagantly. We bowed in the dust. No wonder
he lost his head. Money success makes brutes or beasts or fools of most
men and still the best brains in America go on striving for it.
Have you realized how many books end with the hero coming into
a fortune? How many plays turn on the making of money? How many
children are literally driven into the conviction that the making of money
is the purpose of living. Money, money, money! The great trusts for
money! The great strikes for money! The Slocum horror for money!
Wars for money! Peace for money! Get rich quick money! Adul-
terated food money ! Patent medicine money ! Bribed legislatures, robbed
widows, broken homes, betrayed trusts ! ! Wall Street, the gambling hell,
the brothel, the thief in the night, the assassin in the dark, the gallows ! 1 !
The love of money has been likened to a contagious disease going
through a community — an entire country — like the plague. I hold the
view that the love of money is instinctive and, like other instinctive feel-
ings, if allowed free play without stint or curb, swiftly flames into passion.
Here is the reason, I believe, why so many men as soon as they become rich
rush into the wildest excesses. Experimenting, it would seem, with every
passion on the calendar. Tearing across the country in high powered
motor cars or special trains. Flinging their money about like grain in a
hen-yard. Building freak palaces. Betting on the races. Establishing
branch homes — wines, diamonds, divorces!
14 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
When a man yields to any one of the passions he loses his self control.
He becomes the easy prey of all passions. But because some men are
gluttons it does not follow that eating is wrong. The crime is not in the
instinct, but in the excess. It is true of the love of woman. It is true
of the love of dollars. The law has decreed that one wife is enough for
one man. The limit has not yet been placed on the number of dollars.
But it is within the possibilities. Meantime, the instinct which drives all
of us after money is good. We ought to have some money ahead. To
paraphrase David Harum, a reasonable amount of money is good for a
man. Booker T. Washington tells a story of a gentleman who wished
to cross the ferry over one of the Southern rivers. Arriving at the
ferry house he discovered he had forgotten his purse. The ferry was
in charge of one of the old-time darkies. '*j9kCf" said the gentleman,
"lend me three cents, will you, to get across the river? I have forgotten
my purse." "H'aint you got no money, boss ?" "Not a cent." "Well, I
doan' len' no money to no man what h'aint got no money. 'Sides, if you
h'aint got no money you's just as well off on one side de ribber as
fodder."
As society is at present organized, the very first and imperative
necessity a man fetches up against is the necessity to make money. He
must have money if he would eat. Later, society and nature demand
that he should have a home. He must provide some way, somehow, a
regular salary or income for the growing needs of a growing family.
He has no option. The MUST is as big as disgrace on one side and
death on the other. Manifestly, then, the man who follows his instinct
for getting nwney with which to provide the needs for himself anl
family — getting it honestly — that man is worthy.
I cannot reasonably hope for entire sympathy from an audience
of undergraduates while discussing this theme. Just now you are
making ideals. God bless and reward the noble men, the pro-
fessors and instructors, who are helping the youth of the land
to find their souls and fix them in the way of splendid ideals. The
time is coming when you will need them all. The time for which
I am trying to better prepare you. Some of you whose parents
are making sacrifices to keep you here, already have a hint of what is
ahead of you. Those of you who are working your way through college
have more than a hint. You have felt the kick of necessity. Most
fortunate you, because you are training your ideal to live and grow out of
the hard realities of life. That is why so many men who work their way
through college become great in the after years. I charge you all : cherish
your ideals, forsake not your vision I
A stanza from Wordsworth's Ode to Immortality sums up the lives of
all too many mortals :
MONEY AND THE MAN 15
"Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting ;
The soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And oometh froni afar;
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God who is our home :
Heaven lies about us in our infancy I
Shades of the prison house begin to dose
Upon the growing boy,
But he beholds the light and whence it flows
He sees it in his joy;
The Youth who daily farther from the East
Must travel, still is Natures' priest.
And by the vision splendid
Is on his way attended ;
At length the man perceives it die away,
And fade into the light of conmion day/'
It is just at this point, my friends, where man's vision 'Tades into
the light of common day," that he becomes a debit balance on life's ledger.
It is the point where money becomes the end rather than the means.
The point where worthy instinct sinks into unworthy passion. Rarely
is man bom with the passion. I have known a few unhappy ones marked
prenatally. The normal boy is a good fellow. Boyville is a pure democ-
racy ; so is a good college. Here manhood not money measures the rank.
Indeed, it often happens that money is a handicap. Now when a boy
comes out from Boyville or college into the business of life, he brings
with him his democracy and his vision. To his work-fellows, he proposes
to be cordial, helpful, square. To humanity, he means to devote the
fruits of his efforts. That he will devote any large portion of his time
to the sordid toil of money-making has no place in his thought.
"Full soon thy Soul shall have her earthly freight.
And custom lie upon thee with a weight.
Heavy as frost and deep almost as life."
O! The bitterness of the awakening. The vision that can live
through it must have its roots in God. You step out into the world full
of ^Icndid purpose and high resolve. An altruist. To your chagrin,
you discover that the world has no time for you, no need for your ideals,
no noble place for you. The wheel stops just long enough for you to
get the tips of your fingers on a six dollar job and then swings on. Your
fellow workers care little for your cordiality and not at all for your help-
4
i6 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
fulness. You find that you are the one needing help. But there is none.
Every fellow looks out for himself, is the rule. There is no pity, no
escape. You are in the inexorable grind and if you would not be ground
you must g^nd. You learn that your employer is not paying you wha;
you are worth and that your fellows are trying to get your job. Ever>'-
where you look, you see the men who have made money riding on the
necks of the less fortunate. From being an altruist you become a pessimist
In this state of mind, the rich with their luxuries, their carriages,
boxes at the opera, leisure for travel and recreation, fine clothes and fine
houses, and patronizing manners, inflame you. You rail at society and
storm at riches.
Again, you discover that the world is not listening to you. Again,
you discover that each fellow is looking out for himself and while you
have been "hollering" the quiet man has passed you and the world moves
on. You think it over with the result that from a pessimist you become
an egoist. Some men pass immediately from altruism to egoism, but
I am persuaded that the man with the real ideals must go through the
black abyss. As an egoist you settle down to your trade. You waste no
more time worrying about the other fellow. Let him look out for him-
self. When you are struck, you strike back and the blow you get doesn't
hurt half so badly. Whatever fails to help your cause along you discard.
Things begin to come your way. You begin to make good money. You
have more than enough for your needs. The world looks brighter. You
are at the parting of the ways where Fate's red lantern swings. One is
the world's way, the other way is the soul's way. If your ideals have
lived they will swing your choice to the right road. The hour of
your vision has struck. The world will listen to you now. Your fellows
will come to you for help and encouragement. Your community will kx>k
to you for leadership. A thousand opportunities will find you ready ti
help humanity. Not the kind of help which robs the recipient of self
respect. Rather the kind that gives him a chance to help himself. I
have no quarrel with the moneyed man whose money does no harm to
others or himself. There is no more splendid thing in all the world than
the man who has the nerve and skill and perseverance to make a fortune
honestly and who remembers in his affluence that he is the steward of the
Most High. There is no sweeter joy than the joy of being able to help
humanity. Your rich man must come out of egoism through optimism,
back to the altruism with which he started if he would save his own soul.
We feel almost contempt for the poor devil who grinds through life
with nothing better than the hope that some day he will make a fortune,
so that he may have as big a house as somebody else, and better horses
or an automobile. Vanity and vexation. The child reaching for the fire.
But there is a certain pathos in the figure of the man of brilliant parts
coming down to his last days, seemingly enjoying the plaudits of his
MONEY AND THE MAN 17
compeers, but inwardly consumed with anguished regret for the neglected
opportunities. Each day he has promised himself that tomorrow, after-
while, he will forsake the scramble for money, afterwhile he will go after
the things really worth living for, afterwhile he will begin to think of
others and do for others.
Afterwhile — and one intends
To be gentler to his friends —
To walk with them, in the hush
Of still evenings o'er the plush
Of home leading fields, and stand
Long at parting, hand in hand;
One, in time, will joy to take
New resolves for someone's sake,
And wear then the look that lies
Qear and pure in other eyes —
He will soothe and reconcile
His own conscience — afterwhile.
Now I approach my summing up. And I find that the relations o^
roan to money should be as his relations to most other things of life. He
should avoid extremes. To the proverb, "A fool and his money are soon
parted,'* I retort "A fool and his money are late parted." The most harm
that comes from much money is to the man himself. Anybody can stand
adversity ; it's good for us. It takes a giant to stand proi^rity and only
giants should strive for it. I have no quarrel with the man who is making
money honestly. I fear for him and for his home and for his children.
Too often a rich man expects money to do for his children what only
hardship and love can do. In no other life is there so much danger to
the man himself as in the business life. The physician may sacrifice
everything to his profession, but he is partly redeemed in that his life is
spent for his fellows. And so in a sense with the lawyer and the artist and
the teacher. The business man is in business for money. At first for
what money will buy and then, alas, too often for money itself. The
ideals of men in the professions have a better chance to live because
there is something in their work to keep ideals alive. But in business
there is little for ideals to feed upon. Little, I mean, in line with the
humanities. Business is not philanthropy. Business is not altruistic.
Business is egoistic. Business is selfish. Business is — business.
And so it happens that your business man knows little of books.
He has not time to read. Nothing of art — it's a waste of time. The
music that thrills him is rag-time and the play that inspires him is comic
opera. They rest him after a hard day's work. In politics, he prefers
the administration that facilitates business — his business. And he is not
above paying bribes when they save his time and his money. It is busi-
i8 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
ness that corrupts legislators. It is business that is making America a
reproach before the world. It is business that pays rebates. It is business
that adulterates food. It is business that runs the United States Senate.
Thank God, it is not business but conscience that runs Theodore Roose-
velt. Thaiik God, it is not business but humanity which urges Charles
E. Hughes to plunge his pitiless probe into the insurance scandals. Thank
God, it is not business but justice which drives William Travers Jerome
to clutch the business grocer of Newburg in one hand and the business
bartender of Good Ground in the other and hold them up to the scorn of
decent men.
God take away some of our money and give us more such men.
"God give us men. A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and willing hands,
Men whom the lust for ofRce does not kill ;
Men whom the spoils of ofRce cannot buy ;
Men who possess opinions and a will ;
Men who have honor ; men who will not lie ;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking;
Tall men sun crowned who live above the fog
In public duty and private thinking.
For while the rabble with their thumb worn creeds.
Their large professions and their little deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife; lo! freedom weeps;
Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps."
ERMAN J. RDX^WAY, Northwestenv '9t
By Rupert Hughes, Adelbert, '92.
IT was a bright day in August, and a solitary stork might have been
seen wending its way slowly across the continent, staggering under the
weight of an unusually bouncing baby. It was to be an important child,
and the stork had a worried look choosing to whom to entrust it.
The bird had a long head as well as a long bill, and finally decided
that a certain farm near Otsego, Ohio, where Nathan B. Ridg^ay and
hb wife, Catherine Erman Ridgway, resided, was the ideal place for the
rearing of his youthful client.
On August 6, 1867, then, just after the country had had time to
recover from the Civil War and prepare for another shock, Erman J.
Ridgway was ushered into an expectant world, whose expectations have
been since well realized — ^and new expectations raised.
ERMAN J. RIDGWAY, NORTHWESTERN, '91 19
G>untry schools at Otsegfo, at Gallion, and Wills Creek, Ohio, gave
him his earliest education. Thence he went, at the age of sixteen, to the
Northwestern University Academy, at Evanston, 111., where he was
{^duated in 1887. Next he entered the University, where he spent
two years, joining Delta Upsilon to a mutual advantage. He left there
to go to Yale, where he was graduated with honors and a bachelorship
of arts in 1892.
At Yale he won not only academic, but athletic honors as well, and
'''Ridgway of Yale'' was one of the names which not to know argued
one's self unknown.
Leaving Yale, Brother Ridgway became a salesman for the National
Folding Box and Paper Company, of New York. Two years later he
was made the general manager and vice-president of Frank A. Munse/s
numerous enterprises, including the Munsey Magaeine, the Mohican
Company, the Manhattan Umbrella Company, the New York Daily News,
BostotJoumal and Washingto Time;:. He remained with Mr. Mun-
sey from 1894 to 1903, and must be credited with a large part of Mr.
Munse/s phenomenal success. If any one should doubt this he has only
to look about and see what phenomenal success Mr. Ridgway has made
since he stepped out to go it alone. It was in 1903 that he left the Mun-
sey enterprise and organized the Ridgfway-Thayer Company, becoming
its president.
At this time the name of Everybody's Magazine had an ironical
•effect, though it bore the bewitching emblem of Wanamaker. The two
young men whom a single idea and a hyphen united have made Every-
body's a magazine of which even Mr. Boffin could say, ''And well named,
toor
To many persons Everybody's means Thomas W. Lawson, but the
magazine had taken a great leap forward long before the general public
even showed the first symptoms of Lawsonitis. The circulation man was
swearing his head off and the safety-valve on the multiplication table
was already beginning to squeak when the magazine heard of Mr. Lawson
and offered him its pages as an outlet for the vast volume of indigestion
against 'Hhe System," which he has since exploded with seismic effect.
The Lawson exposures have, of course, made Everybody's an enor-
mous circulation, but so has the magazine made a national figure of one
who was before a stock-broker who often broke. Furthermore, in that
remote but inevitable hour when Mr. Lawson has said all he has to say,
the magazine will remain; new storks will distribute new subscribers
round the land, and the circulation swearing man will continue to swear.
When the last of Mr. Lawson's threats is carried out and John D.
RockefeHer comes asking for a job as office-boy or caddy, when H. H.
Rogers' Amalgamated Coppers total about thirty cents, and "the System"
is flat and cold as the buckwheat cakes of yesteryear — still Mr. Ridgway
20 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
will find new pabulum for the people at popular prices. [Advt. Now is^^
Bie time to subscribe.]
So much for the public career of our Brother Delta U. He i^
already a figure of power and dignity in the land, and is not yet forty.
Those of us who have been privileged to know him personally have not
wondered as his big success, though we have delighted in k. His quiet,
and forceful presence shows a strength that could not be kept down.
His solidity of character and earnestness of ambition have not been-
denied a liberal sprinkling of the saving salt of humor. He is a brilliant
after-dinner speaker and can also joke between meals.
Brother Ridgway was largely instrumental in the formation of The
Commonwealth Qub, of Upper Montclair, N. J., a suburban town largely
of New Yoric business men, where Brother Ridgway resides. The club
was founded to supply a social, literary, and educational feature to
the suburban life. It met considerable opposition in the indifference of
its members to take up any sort of community responsibilities. Mr. Ridg-
way was made chaimran of the entertainment committee, and during thr
past winter secured the services of many well-known men and women in
the musical and lecture fields. Appropriate exercises were held on Fourth
of July, and other holidays, a Junior Qub was organized for the young
men, with facilities for contests, and many other features were intro-
duced, all looking toward the "getting together'* of the men, who had
previously not known what good fellows their neighbors were, and excit-
ing the interest of the women in the needs of the community. The
handling of this matter by Brother Ridgway illustrates his tenacity of pur-
pose and his optimistic regard for all fellow-men.
He is a member of various clubs, but in the very midmost of his
struggle with a success that came down on him like a ^ousand of brick,
he has not been too busy to devote time, thought, and energy to building
up the Delta Upsilon Gub of New York. Many of us who pray or bray
very loudly at a banquet cannot find time to do one-tenth as much as
this busy builder of a great establishment.
In a dozen ways Erman J. Ridgway is an example to every Amer-
ican, every college man, and especially every Delta U. man. Big of body,
of heart, of brain, he has succeeded no more bigly than he has deserved.
"YELLOIV JOURNAL" METHODS 21
''YELLOW JOURNAL'* METHODS,
BROTHER Rupert Hughes, in securing the necessary (mis) information
for his "write up" of Everybody's Ridgway, has exposed himself to
several actions for libel, as shown in his letter to his victim, whtch we pub-
lish below. Not the least of his crimes is the manner in which he insults
the editor of the Quarterly, calling him "out of his name." Brother
Hughes says he has just closed a contract with the Century G>mpany
for the publication of his next novel, with an advance royalty. There^

Dear Erman: As the special agent of Fads and Fancies, I wish to
offer you a biography in it for $1,500. I enclose a letter from the pub-
lisher, Mr. Goldschmidt. Owing to the newspaper excitement the name
has been changed to The Delta Upsilon Quarterly.
Of course, I know a lot of things about you, which, I think, you
would prefer left unmentioned to your Bible class. I think that m>
silence on these points is cheap at $1,500. The payment of the sum,
however, entitles you to have any substitute you wish for the bitter truths
You are a quinine pill, but if you can pay for a sugar coating, why not?
Please let me know at once the answers )rou desire to have made to
the following questions :
Where were you bom, and when?
If never bom, please state where you were not bom.
Why were you bora?
Why haven't you died yet?
Is this further proof of Lawson's claim that "the System" is to blame
for almost everything, including Lawson?
Where did you get that hat you talk through ?
Where were you — I was about to say "educated" — ^well, let the word
stand, why quibble?
When did you quit leaming college words?
How did you come to this? — meaning magazining.
What circulation do you claim? You notice I say "claim."
Where do you expect to spend eternity, and what board will you pay?
Goldsmith thinks you are doing the public good, so do I. You are
doing them well.
When do you open your branch in Mars ?
If you'll answer these questions before a notary, I'll put in a few
facts for variety, and let her simmer, sweeten to taste, and serve with
a g^n of salt. Yours faithlessly,
Rupert O'Hughes.
22 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
W, T. JEROME AND HIS CAMPAIGN.
'Tp O the counftry-wide acclamation of Brother Jerome for his splendid
campaign against the bosses that ended in victory, the Quarterly
can add nothing at this time. Every son of Delta U. must rejoice that
in the forward movement of civic and political righteousness a member
of the fraternity is taking such a conspicuous and effective part.
To chronicle here in complete measure the story of his fight against
boss rule would be impossible. It must suffice to present a composite
pen-picfturc of Brother Jerome as others see him — ^in his fearlessness, his
honesty and his humanity.
w
WHO IS THIS MAN JEROME?
New York Letter in the Indianapolis News.
HO is this man Jerome that is turning New York upside down
politically? Simply an honest man with a good brain and a pre-
disposition for industry. He has always been a Democrat, and he tells
his audiences that he has not laid aside his Democracy in national affairs
in making this race for district attorney. He is a Democrat of the Qeve-
land stripe.
Four years ago he was the fusion nominee for district attorney, and
we all remember the whirlwind campaign he made on that occasion.
Coming into office he surrounded himself with competent men, who
were not connected with the machines of either political party. He set
about the prosecution of evil doers regardless of whether they were Repub-
licans or Democrats. Party politics were kicked out of the district attor-
ney's office. It was the first time it had been so handled for half a century.
Soon after taking office Jerome moved from a fashionable neigh-
borhood to one of the worst sections on the East Side, and during his
term he has lived among the people of the underworld. Thus living, he
came to know their struggles for existence and temptations that beset
them. His studies enabled him to deal out even-handed justice as district
attorney.
The political machines — Tammany on the one hand and the Odell
machine on the other — soon learned that they could not run his office.
The politician who appeared to request the release of a man because he
had been a "faithful ward worker" was shown the door by Jerome.
Of course that did not please the professional politicians, and when
the time approached to make up this year's tickets they conspired to "put
Jerome out of business." It has been proved that Odell, the head of the
IV. T. JEROME AND HIS CAMPAIGN 23
Republican machine, and Murphy, the head of the Tammany machine,
entered into an agreement that neither would "stand for Jerome."
The fearless public officer saw that he could not hope for support
from either party and so last fall he told his friends he proposed to run
as an independent. When it came time to prepare the petition required
THE ENTHUSIASM IN NEW YORK.
to secure a place on the ballot for his name citizens came forward by the
thousands and volunteered the use of thetr names.
True to their agreement the Democratic and Republican machines
ignored Jerome when the candidates were nominated, and the politicians
said among themselves:
26 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
On another occasion Jerome, ax in hand, fireman-like, was ascending:
a ladder, when someone below pulled the lower supports in the hope
that he might break Jerome's neck. Mr. Jerome lost his ax, but, with
a good hold on the windowsill, he lifted himself so that he could push up-
the window and crawl in. There was a wild scramble as he entered,
and no arrests, the police having learned, just in time, that Judge Jerome
was "doing stunts."
And so it went on. Jerome sat on the bench of the court of special
sessions in the morning and raided at night. If it was not a gambling^
house he raided it was a place where young girls were held as prisoners.
Then came the revolt against Tammany, when the independent
democrats, republicans and Citizens' union came together and named
a ticket, headed by Seth Ix)w. It went through with a whirl, with
Jerome for district attorney running far ahead of the ticket.
An incident in the campaign which will not be forgotten was when»
in his dare-devil campaign of the city, Jerome arrived at the place in
Rivington street which he had once raided alone.
A big fellow took hold of his arm and led him to the door he had
unce broken down
"Let me show you the way," said Jerome.
The big man fell back and followed until he reached the stage.
There he caught Jerome by the neck and, shoving him aside, said, in a
voice that could not be misunderstood:
"Gentlemen — It's my right and privilege to introduce to you toniglit
the real speaker of this occasion. I used to run a poolroom in this place
with my brother, as you all know. The night this d Jerome bustedi
in alone we meant to kill him. I'm d glad we didn't.
"I've been doing a better business since, beginning with peddlings
and now have a store of my own.
"The nerve of this man in coming here tonight is equal to that of
the night he came here alone. You know that you are gathered here
to down him.
"Just a word before he speaks. Brother Jim's dead. Jerome did
not kill him. Booze did. Jim was drunk one night and the cops had
him right, as they thought, for stealing. I went to this here fellow Jerome
and put it up to him. He said Jim mig^t be a gambler, but he was
no ordinary thief, and he got a friend to go bail. Then he used his col-
lege-graduate friends to look up the case and they proved Jim innocent.
I have the honor of introducing 'Bill' Jerome."
There was a dead silence and then a burst of applause as the candi-
date faced his former enemies. He spoke very simply, acknowledging
that he had violently entered the poolroom, and then burst into torrents
of abuse of the organization of which most of the auditors were adherents.
He put it up to them whether they wanted a "red light" over the stoops
of the flats, where they lived with their wives and children.
"This Job I taave undertaken Is
really one for a Savonarola, and I am
only Wiltlam Travers Jerome; still
I have got to tackle It."
W. T. JEROME AND HIS CAMPAIGN 07
The prepared hisses changed to cheers, the crowd following the weary
campaigner to his automobile, insisting on shaking hands with the man
whom a little while before they would have pummeled with pleasure.
WHEN HE FACED A SAM PARKS CROWD.
''Listener" in the Boston Transcript
^XTlTH all the descriptions that the newspapers have been giving of
^^ Jerome's marvelous campaign the half has never been told.
There have been more moments of peril for the whde business,
personal peril as well as political, than have got into the newspapers. One
such case was where he was addressing a very rough assemblage, com-
posed of labor unions gathered together as such. Naturally before fie
had got far one of the savagest and most insolent of these disturbers who
had come to the meeting to break it up, put his fist under Jerome's nose
and demanded him at once to answer one question before those there
assembled. It was : ''Why did you hound Sam Parks to death V
A wild yell in accord arose from the audience, but Jerome was
halted only for an instant. Doubling up his own fi$t in return and stepping:
forward to hold it in the face of his interlocutor, he told with pathetic
detail that proved the genuineness and intensity of his sympathy, the
sufferings of the wife and children of the working man of straightfor-
ward, industrious life, through the exhatistion of his savings in the con-
tinual strikes which Parks had decreed.
"When I learned," shouted Jerome, "that Paries in ordering these
strikes was doing it mainly from personal spite and for his own pocket
all the time, if I had met with Parks in the street I could have knocked
the villain to and snatched his ^black heart out
of his body."
Needless to say the crowd went with him from that on, and at the
end he was carried out to his carriage on the shoulders of the nearest.
JEROME AS A PUBLIC SPEAKER.
From the New York Herald.
THERE is little of the orator about Mr. Jerome. In his sptedbes
there are no rounded flights, no graceful periods, no rhetorical
working up to a point. One peculiarity has been remarked by those
familiar with his methods, and this comes from his mental activity.
Beginning on one topic, he often says not more than a dozen words, when
they suggest to him something else. Off at a tangent he will go with a
parenthetical clause which not infrequently gives him an idea of a further
digression. Generally he rounds hack to his first thought Sometimes
be lets it drift away entirely, never to be completed.
28 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
Somewhat harsh of voice, it might be said that Mr. Jerome's speeches
are delivered in a monotone. Even so, he never becomes tiresome, nor
do his auditors become inattentive. He is quick to perceive the feeling of
an assemblage and certain to take advantage of any incident which will
go to point his moral or adorn his tale. He prefers to walk slowly about
the platform as he talks, dragging his feet leisurely ; his watch is always
before him, that he may not overstep the time limit he has set for himself.
His sarcasm is one of the most telling of his equipments. His lips
recede until his white teeth are displayed; his eyes gleam wickedly; his
words are shot out as the puffs of a locomotive; one hand will move
out from the shoulder, the fingers outspread, and back and forth he darts
it, as if driving home every word he utters. It is a treat to hear him dilate
on C. Francis Murphy, as he terms the Tammany leader, on his Good
Ground, his liveried chauffeur and his automobiles, and his sallies about
J. Sergeant Cram and his Tuxedo coat always draw a shout of derisive
laughter, as does his reference to "that grocery man of Newburg."
With a keen appreciation of the humorous side of things, he will
switch suddenly from the most serious phase of his discourse to run upon
a sidetrack of fun. He can tell a story well, and always delights his
audiences when he is in such a mood. Of his pathos, those who heard
him in the campaign of four years ago and who wept and sobbed at his
recitals, need not to be told. Of an emotional temperament himself and
with a sensitiveness he endeavors to mask, his feelings at times almost
overcome him, and then there is a suspicious use of his handkerchief.
But he is seen and heard at his best when he appears before an audi-
ence which he knows is antagonistic to him. Then it is that the fighting
side of his make-up is disclosed, as well as the further fact that he glories
in a rough and tumble, man to man argument. If he is permitted to defiite
his position he will do so, and then he will ask his hearers to question
him on any point on whidi they are not satisfied.
"Put it up to me ; put it up to me hard," he will beg, and when the
questions come thick and fast he is in his element And his personality
and his manliness usually triumph and those who came to scoff remain
to admire and applaud.
STRONGEST CHARACTER IN NEW YORK CITY-
Fred B. Warren in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
GIVEN a capable lawyer of tremendous earnestness, a man 46 years
old, well bom, well trained, who has had an active life among men
— ^a man fond of sports, of good physique, built up by exercise — z, man of
clean life, of high social position and of democratic habits and thought
— this is already a catalogue of most of the virtues and kinds of good
fortune that an American citizen need have. Add to these courage
W. T. JEROME AND HIS CAMPAIGN 99
without taint of fear, and you have William Travers Jerome, by all odds
the strongest character and the most noteworthy personality in the public
life of New York.
Jerome's achievements cannot be easily tabulated ; for the noteworthy
thing is the kind of service that he has done, rather than the volume of
it that shows in the tables of convictions. The thing that tells is the
quality of the man.
He has so done his work that the District Attorney's office is the one
public place in New York where everybody knows that a man works for
the city's uplifting who has no favor and no fear.
STRIKING INCIDENTS OF HIS CAMPAIGN*
"Where's that man Jerome?" inquired in a fog-horn voice a big man,
plainly a Westerner, as he strode into the Gilsey House headquarters. He
was t61d by one of the secretaries that Mr. Jerome would not be there
until late in the afternoon.
"I'm sorry," continued he of the stentorian voice. "I'd like to meet
him. You people down here talk about electing him district attorney.
Huh ! Why out west we are going to make him president."
During one of his whirlwind dashes through the East Side Mr.
Jerome passed the rooms of a club which was known to exist only to
sell pools. The sound of cheers brought the members to the windows. As
the candidate went by, a man on the sidewalk looked up at his fellows
in the windows and shouted :
"Boys, he's against us, but he's square. Three cheers for Jerome I"
The answering yell from the club-rooms left no doubt as to their
sentiments of admiration.
One of the most remarkable features of Mr. Jerome's canvass was the
intense interest manifested in every section of the country. Htmdreds
of letters poured in upon the Jerome committee and hundreds more con-
tained substantial tokens of their sympathy.
Many pathetic stories could be told of the sacrifices made by poor
people of New York to help swell the Jerome campaign fund. A man
went into the Gilsey House and offered a contribution of fifty cents. The
treasurer, glancing up, saw the giver wore ragged clothing and was evi-
dently in need. He gently urged the man that he ought not to give the
money, but tlie man insisted, adding as a clincher : : "It's such as me he's
workUig for."
ao THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
A poorly-dresded woman with the unmistakable signs of hard work
and many trouUes cailed at the New York Sun office and with an apdogy
for the smallness of the amount asked that she be allowed to contribute 25
cents to the Jerome campaign fund. She is the mother of five children
and takes in washing for a living.
"I want to see Mr Jerome elected," she explained, '1)ecause he is
good to every mother who's in trouble. Two of my boys used to be bad.
One of Aem got mixed up with a gang and he was going in a bad way.
Mr. Jerome didn't send him to the reform school. He just had a talk
with that boy and he sent somebody to talk with his teacher and me»
and I haven't got any complaint to make against my boys now. They
ain't so awful good, but they're honest. And that's what Mr. Jerome is.
God bless him."
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Pictures of Mr. Jerome were tacked up in almost every tenement and
store and restaurant on the East side by women workers. In the Home
Fire Insurance Company Restaurant, pictures of every mayoralty candi-
date were put up every morning and torn down before noon. Mr. Jerome's
picture remained and beneath it in a crude, untutored hand was written:
''One man on the square — the rest are on the bum."
A woman's hand wrote these words in an unsigned letter to the candi-
date:
"Honest WilKam Trovers Jerome:
"It is only a five dollar bill, but two honest votes go with it— those
of my husband and of my oldest son and the promise of one other is
assured to yoti. My other son, 19 years old, will be ready to cast his
first vote for you as Governor of New York or as President of our noble
land."
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
At one of the Jerome meetings a McQellan enthusiast was speaking.
He said he tiiougfat that *']^Yomt is as sure of election as George
McQellan."
There was an instant uproar. Somebody obtruded a proposition that
it was time for "three cheers for William Randolph Hearst I"
About two-fifths of the audience adopted the suggestion.
"Three cheers for George McQellan I" shouted a man in the gallery.
There were three big McQellan cheers. Then came a shrill shout:
"What's the matter with Ivins?"
A considerable part of the audience responded with a roar of approv-
ing sentiment
W. T. JEROME AND HIS CAMPAIGN 31
John P. Leo, the chairman, ^rang to the front of the platfonn and
shouted :
"Gentlemen, gentlemen t This is unseemly. We are all for JenMne
anyhow."
"ON THEIR NECKS"
"Three cheers for Jerome," shouted one man, and the whole crowd,
McOellan men, Hearst men and Ivins men, rose and shouted and ripped
flags from the side walls and cheered and cheered again.
NEWSPAPER OPINION OF JEROME VICT^IY.
RSVBLUJLN.
The crowning and most splendid achievement has been the election of
William Travers Jerome. It was the greatest moral victory of electi<»
day in this country and its value is immeasurable. — Boston Trantcript,
32 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
Mr. Jerome became to this community the symbol of fearless and
upright performance of public duty, and his election is not merely a great
tribute to him and a victory for good government, but a tonic vindication
to the people themselves of their own moral impulses and their capacity
for self-government. — New York Tribune.
We congratulate the community upon the outcome. New York wiH
be a better town for it. The whole country will be better for it. Never
before did a brilliant and distinguished public servant crush so brutal and
ruthless a conspiracy as that which sought to destroy William Travers
Jerome. — New York Sun.
Jerome is not a political puppet; he is a giant of strength, as was
shown in a fight that probably no other man in New York would have
had the audacity to make. Jerome today is a national figure of formidable
dimensions to such Presidential aspinants as Folk, Johnson, LaFollette
and Bryan. The outcome of this campaign will be g^tifying to ever}'
lover of justice and decency in America. It is a triumph for clean politics
and an assertion of the power of the people to return to themselves the
control of government. It will stimulate the spirit of reform ever3rwhere.
It makes Jerome the man of the hour. — Kansas City Journal.
This is one of the gratifying triumphs of true citizenship fairh
aroused in a righteous cause. — Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
The election of Mr. Jerome is certainly the most significant declara-
tion of political independence made in recent years. — Providence Journal.
Far and away the best single result of yesterday's voting — for the
cheer and inspiration in it — is the re-election of District Attorney Jerome.
His re-election is a thing to thank God for. Every sordid political boss
between the two oceans holds by a more precarious tenure because of him,
and American citizenship has risen in every market. — Hartford Courant.
His splendid and magnificent defiance of boss rule is morally justified.
It has been over all the country a rousing encouragement to civic inde-
pendence and civic righteousness. — Philadelphia Press.
By common consent District Attorney Jerome's candidacy repre-
sented mo^ vitally and dramatically the anti-bossism issue of the off-
year elections. His victory is a magnificent one, in view of the heavy
odds against him, of the conspiracy of the "regular" machines. — Chicago
Record-Herald.
DEMOCRATIC
It was a great victory for a free people and an independent press.
It will hearten everywhere those who are defending against the brutal
bosses the principle of American democracy. — New York World.
W. T. JEROME AND HIS CAMPAIGN 33
Many a man on Tuesday beat a boss of one party, but it remained for
William Travers Jerome to beat all the bosses of all parties. — Cleveland
Plaindealer.
The election of Mr Jerome is a great personal triumph and will meet
with universal approval throughout the country. — Boston Globe.
As the player of a lone hand Jerome has no peer. — Charleston News
and Courier.
Jerome's riding down of two powerful old-line organizations is at
once the most sensational and most convincing demonstration of the
inherent capacity of the people to manage their own political concerns;
and is a matter of congratulation to good citizenship ever3rwhere. — St.
Louis Republic.
He had no alliances except his own honesty against the organization
of his opponents ; he held forth his courage to counteract the influence
of those who hated him and feared unhampered justice; he t3rpified the
predictions of the people ; he touched the core of popular honesty. — Detroit
Free Press.
INDEPENDENT.
There can be no mistaking the absorbed interest with which his cam-
paign has been followed in every village of the land, nor the chorus of
delight and gratitude which is going up from millions as they read of his
immense success. He has lighted a fire which will not go out until in its
flames boss after boss has shrivelled and been consumed. — New York
Evening Post.
Without the election of Jerome, the satisfaction of honest men and
good Americans in the results of yesterday's election would have been
incomplete. No other rebuke to bosses and corruption, no other victor>-
for honesty and independence, would have compensated for the disappoint-
ment of the high hopes which had been raised during the enthusiastic
campaign for New York's fearless District Attorney. — Baltimore, News.
Here at least is one man in office who will owe nothing to any party
or boss, who is absolutely free to be the best public servant possible.
His campaign has been an inspiration, and his victory is an assurance that
the people can win over bosses whenever they really want to do so. —
Indianapolis News.
The election of Jerome is a splendid triumph, not only for this fearless
and able public prosecutor, but for the civic virtue and independence of the
voters of New York. — Boston Herald.
Mr. Jerome's victory in New York is in some respects the most
notable event of the elections and one of the greatest benefits yet conferred
upon the cause of good municipal government. — Chicago Daily Ne;u;s.
EDITORIAL.
The Hamilton Qiapter has added greatly to its
^^rraN\SmON ''^P^*^^^" ^y ^^^ successful handling of the recent
convention, following, as it did the great gatherings
at Qiicago and New York city, where the alumni clubs which conducted
the convention set a standard that promised difficulties for those who
followed them. But no one thought of making any comparisons, and it
would not have mattered if they had. The Hamilton Convention was not
overshadowed by recollections of New York and Chicago.
Several features distinguished the seventy-first annual convention and
convinced many that a large city is not the best place for a convention.
The delegates "got together" more than usual and there seemed to be
more opportunity for making acquaintances. At the smoker the men cir-
culated freely and began the pleasant task of forming friendships. The
business of the convention went through briskly because the men knew
what was coming and were ready for it. At the theatre the musical
comedy thoroughly pleased the delegates and apparently the delegates
pleased the rest of the audience with their singing as there^ were calls for
"more." The trolley trip and the literary exercises were both successful.
The history was unusually interesting and the oration was exceptionally
fine. The banquet, with its attendance of nearly 200 and its splendid list
of speakers, brought to a close a convention that well earned for the Ham-
ilton Chapter the resoltrtions of appreciation passed at the close of the
banquet.
One of the most interesting features of the con-
THTOTV^EVKN vention was the reception of the petition from the
KK Oub of the University of Illinois. The quiet
but stirring presentation of their application by Mr. Edward Corrigan
made a deep impression on the delegates. The result of the vote on the
motion to grant a charter brought out an inspiring storm of applause
which was renewed when the members of the KK Qub were brought
back to receive from Brother Thomas the information that their three years
of hard work had borne fruit. The KK Qub has gained the prestige of
membership in a national fraternity and Delta Upsilon has gained a strong
and enthusiastic chapter.
PROSPERITY Prosperity is written large and fair on the statistics
ATTOTlfflnmjRB ^* ^^^^ Upsilon chapter membership which were
given in the last issue of At Quarterly. One can
gaze with satisfaction upon the excellent showing made all along the Hne.
Not that large membership, per se, is everything or even a very great deal
EDITORIAL 35
to a chapter, but as a sign it has its undoubted value just as membership
T)ek)w the average is often warning of danger.
But amid evident prosperity is it not worth while to ask, not pessim-
istically but philosophically, how much of it is due to force outside of the
fraternity — the general prosperity of the country, the increasing tendency
toward college education? To any chapter that feels it owes its present
prosperity mainly to such extraneous factors this should be said : Make
these days of calm, days of strengthening. Deepen and broaden under-
graduate life. Cultivate the alumni. Resolve that the chapter shall live
as long as the institution of which it is a loyal part. Then when the storm
comes and college classes decline, as they must in time of financial depres-
sion, there will be no hard times for any chapter of Delta Upsilon.
A year ago the editor wrote to one of the Rhodes
ATO^TOWRD Scholars suggesting an alimmi club at Oxford for
the purpose of forming a bond between the Delta
U. Rhodes scholars. Fearing that such an organization would tend to
defeat one of the objects of the scholarships, it was decided at the time
that an alumni club would be undesirable. A year's experience, however,
lias shown that this fear was not well founded and that a club with infre-
quent meetings will not lead to the segregation of the Americans or
prevent them from entering fully into the English University life. ITie
Oxford University Delta Upsilon club has, therefore, been formed, and
the report of its organization will be found in the Alumni Qub depart-
ment. We need have no fear that this will lead to an attempt to form
an undergraduate chapter at Oxford, which, as the secretary says, would
be as undersirable as it would be impossible.
The convention photograph was taken by Carl
glgij^^^ K. Frey, of ii Broad street, Utica, N. Y. It is
an excellent group picture, the faces being very dis-
tinct. Copies can be had from him at the following prices : 8 in. x 14 in.,
75 cents ; 10 in. x 20 in., $1.25 ; 12 in. x 22 in., $1.75. A framed collection
of convention groups makes an interesting historical record of the fra-
temitv.
The chapters are expected, as their senior delegates
^^^^™™^ were informed at convention, to appoint a man to
take charge of increasing the list of subscribers to
the Quarterly among their alumni. His name was to be sent to Brother
A. D. Wedierell, Middlebury, '05, who planned and is conducting the
campaign. Has your chapter done its duty in the matter? When yctt
read this it will be about six wedcs after the convention. What chapters
36 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
have failed in this regard ? None, we hope. A full report of the results-
will be published at the close of the campaign.
The amendment providing for graduate subscrip-
^^^J^^ tions to the Quarterly was passed. It was not
expected by tfie editor, who hoped to provoke dis-
cussion, but little more. Only one good point was brought up against it,
however, and even that may be overcome by proper explanation. An
open consideration of this or any other fraternity matter is proposed for
our new department, "Open Correspondence" (for which, by the way, a
better title is solicited.)
A few subjects suggested by the points brought up at convention
and by the chapter letters in this issue are: Is it safe or allowable to
pledge men before they enter college? If a chapter starts the year strong,
is it safe to "take your own time in selecting new men?" Shall Founder's.
Day be celebrated on the same date by all chapters? Shall there be a
uniform position for wearing the pin? These and other questions may
well be discussed openly and so save the time at convention. Are yoit
interested?
The corresponding secretaries have been exceedingly lax*. This issue
would have gone to press with about one-third of the names incorrect
if Brother Fairbanks had not sent the editor a list he had compiled fram
recent correspondence with the chapters. The Directory is of little use
if it is incorrect and its accuracy dq)ends on the corresponding secre-
taries. The editor approves of the idea of having one man fill the offices
of both corresponding secretary and chapter editor.
While at convention Brother Frederick M. Crossett, Ne^uf York, '84,
presented the Hamilton chapter with a plaque bearing a New York Uni-
versity seal, in commemoration of his having attended twenty-five con-
secutive conventions.
A word of warning. In any chapter having a senior delegation the
seniors must see that they do not let the chapter become greatly weakened
by their graduation. Have you missed a good man in the jimior or soplio-
more class? A small junior delegation this year will mean a weak chapter
next vear.
The discussion of the official design should show the chapters that
it is wise to deal only with the jewelers advertising in the Quarterly.
There is an official shape and that only should be purchased.

THE ALUMNI CLUBS-
OXFORD UNIVERSITY DELTA UPSILON CLUB.
To the Editor of the Delta Upsilon Quarterly:
I take no moderate pleasure in announcing the existence of an "Ox-
ford University Deha Upsilon Club." You will remember that one year
ago the Delta U's in Oxford discussed the advisability of organization*
The men then stood together against it, for reasons of which you are
aware. The year's experience of the first Delta Upsilon Rhodes contin-
gent, however, has led them to believe (and the seven new men who have
come up this year have fallen in with this view) that by forming a loose or-
ganization, the Delta U's in Oxford will not be withdrawing themselves
from the University life, and yet will secure to the home chapters the ad-
vantage which they deserve for the splendid record they have made in
capturing Rhodes Scholarships.
Accordingly a meeting was called October 24, in the rooms of
Brother Schutt at Brasenose, to which all Delta U's at Oxford were
invited. Brother Schutt was elected President and R. H. Bevan Cor-
responding Secretary. The idea was to meet once a year for a dinner,,
and once a term in the rooms of the various members at the different
colleges to transact any necessary business.
I must apologize for this very brief and hurried report but the Ameri-
can mail goes in a few minutes and I want the good news to reach you
as soon as possible. I will send you a fuller report in the near future.
Fraternally yours,
Ralph H. Bevan.

CALIFORNIA DELTA UPSILON CLUB.
The sixth annual banquet of the Qub occurred on Friday evening,
November loth in the Chapter House of the Stanford Chapter. Being
the eve of the annual football game between California and Stanford, the

CHESAPEAKE DELTA UPSILON CLUB.
On September 12th, known as "Old Defenders' Day," a legal holi-
day in Maryland, as it is the anniversary of the battle of North Point
when the British stormed Baltimore and were repulsed, the Chesapeake
Delta Upsilon Qub enjoyed an outing on Chesapeake Bay. Through
the kindness of one of our members, a launch was set at the disposal of
the Qub. Although in the summer time many of the feltows are out of
the city, about a dozen gathered for this excursion. We ran from Balti-
more to "Thompsons' Sea Girt House," a place with a reputation among
local epicures, and their standard "Southern Supper" of soft-shelled crabs
and fried chicken tasted "good to us."
We then went to River View Park — sort of a small Coney — and
amused ourselves and other people greatly. I guess they — ^thc other
people — ^had never seen a bunch of Delta U's enjoy themselves before.
All hands threw base-balls at the babies, ringed canes, rode <m the switch-
back, and nearly broke up The Old Mill by a race in two of the boats
at dose quarters. Jokes and fun were the order of things throughout
One fellow lingered to try his avoirdupois at a penny-in-the-slot machine,
and could not understand his seeming overweight, till the solution was
offered that he might have "a weight on his mind." A spin in the moon-
light brought us home again.
Did you ever see a Sunday School picnic, or go on one? Of course
you have. Well, our outing wasn't anything like that !
MILWAUKEE DELTA UPSOX^N CLUB.
On September 19, 1905, the Milwaukee Delta Upsilon Qub held its
annual fall banquet at the Republicaf^ House, Milwaukee, Wis.
When President Haring led the way to the banquet hall twenty-one
Delta Upsilon braves foltowed him. In attendance, spirit and enthusiasm
this gathering eclipsed any previous one.
Brother Arthur Klet2sch, one of the joint owners of the Republican
House, had prepared an excellent menu which won for him words of
praise and approval.
Informal speeches, college songs and yells eiriivened the evening. The
speeches were followed by a general discussion of the needs of the fra-
ternity and bow to best advance its interests.
Those present were :

The meaning of the title of Rupert Hughes' new novel is practically
hopeless sorrow and longing, a homesickness that cannot be cured because
the home is gone, a living despair for freedom such is in every patriotic
Polid^j heart. But despite the gloomy prognostications of such a title the
hero achieves success and wins the millionaire's daughter with whom he
falls in love thinking she is poor. Between them they surmount many
obstacles, undergo many tragic experiences and struggle against the appar-
ent opposition of fate, their romance finally ending happily as all romances
should.

DEATHS*
COLUMBIA, '89 — "Members of the
Regiment were shocked to hear of
the sudden death from heart dis-
ease on August 28, of 1st Sgt. Hen-
ry Brown Turner, of Co. P. The
funeral servic s were held at hla
home Wednesday evening, August
30. A remarkably sad coincidence,
is that the hour set for Sgt. Tur-^
ner's funeral was the time ap-
pointed by Co. P for an election for
2d Lieutenant, for which office the-
deceased was the unanimous selec-
tion of the company.
"Sgt. Turner was bom March la^
1868, in New York city. His
father was the late Henry B. Tur-
ner, formerly Captain of Co. F,
who was succeed''d by his son and
namesake. Sgt. Turner enlisted in
Co. F in 1891, was appointed a cor-
poral in 1893, sergeant in 1896»
and first sergeant in 1899. He had
two brothers who formerly be
longed to Ccf. F, one of whom is

THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
Gillespie, of Port Deposit, and Mr.
and Mrs. Peale had only jusi
reached Lien-chow, having sailed
from this country last August.
Just before his departure Bro.
Peale wrote the editor asking that
his "Quarterly" be sent to his new
address in China. The day before
the news of his death appeared in
the newspapers the editor received
a postal from Bro. Frank Ecker-
son at Amoy, China, asking that
Bro. Peale's name be added to the
list of Delta U's abroad published
occasionally in the "Quarterly."
The Emperor of China has order-
ed the viceroy of Canton to inflict
exemplary punishment upon the
perpetrators of the crime and all
guilty officers, and directed that
compensation be made and ade-
quate protection afforded for all
missions.
MICHIGAN, '84 — Henry W. Halsey
died in Berkeley, Cal., on Septem-
ber 21, 1905. He was a newspaper
publisher and manager, who had
been connected with the Minneapo-
lis Northwestern Miller, the Den-
ver Sun, the Chicago Record-Her-
ald and the San Francisco Exam-
iner.
The will of the late Harry W.
Hawley has been filed for probate.
Among other provisions is a be
.quest of 110,000 for the founding
of one or more scholarships to be
known as the "H. W. Hawley
-Scholarship of the Fort Dodge
High school." The bequest is fot
the purpose of aiding worthy grad-
uates of this school to obtain a col-
legiate education, and only the In-
'Come of the fund to be used for this
purpose.
Mr. Hawley was a student in the
public school during his youth in Ft.
Dodge. For nine years prior to his
death in Berkeley, Cal, he was
unable to move hand or foot. His
long sickness diminished his estate
: and caused him to rewrite his will
just priqr to his death, but his mis-
fortune in no way abated his love
for his childhood home, and when
his will was filed for probate it con-
tained the provisions for the Fort
Dodge High school as originally
', -written.
A condition of the bequest is in
the following language: "Should
any one chosen as a beneficiary be-
come, in the opinion of said direc-
tors, unworthy of such aid, said
board shall discontinue such aid. I
am moved to make this bequest la
recognition of the good already ac-
complished by said school, and
hope It may be the means of F>tim-
ulating many of the graduates
therefrom in years to come, to
strive for a noble manhood and
womanhood and high plane of
moral and Intellectual life."

from Marietta and Ohio State came
to CleTeland and we enjoyed a very
pleasant day, to say the least. In wel-
coming our down-state brothers.
On October 19th the chapter held
its annual initiation and banquet,
and five men whom the chapter
thinks worthy of membership and
whom we think will become loyal and
enthusiastic Delta U's were elected
to membership. After the rites were
over the company sat down to a
sumptuous feast which gratified the
tastes of the most exacting.
Football is the all-absorbing topic
of conversation now, for the varsity
is out for State championship honors
and bids well to acquire them, for
her opponents have been unable to
cross her goal line so far. Wynne,
a giant freshman, is playing on the
team, and we expect him to uphold
Delta U's football record this fall.
Adelbert's two delegates to the
convention have returned and have
nothing but praise for the way in
which they were received. They re-
port a very fine time at the conven-
tion, and their report had a very
stimulating effect upon all the active
members.

College began September 21st with
all indications pointing towards a
most prosperous year. There are 160
men in the entering class, about 30
more than usual, bringing the total
enrolment up to about 450, the larg-
est it has been for many years.
Two radical changes have been
made at Amherst this year. The
honor system in examinations has
been introduced and the competitive
system in electing managers is being
given a trial. This latter is primarily
intended to do away with fraternity
deals and to put the best man in
office after he has proven his ability.
College Hall has been completly
rebuilt through the generosity of the
class of '84, and now is one of the
most imposing buildings on the
Campus. Work on the new Nata-
torium is progressing rapidly, and
the building is expected to be finished
by March, 1906.
The chapter house has been reno-
vated during the past summer and
several of the rooms newly papered.
We also are enjoying a new smoking
room his year.
Brother Haller, '08, is with us this
year. He was at Columbia last year.
We have enjoyed visits from Bros.
Copping, Williams, '05; Greene, Bow-
doin, '05, and Bamum, Middlebury,
'05, this fall.
But two men failed to return this
year — Seaman, '07, who is in New
York Law School, and Waite, '08, who
is in business this year. Lewis, ex-
'05, is with us again in the Senior
class after a year of teaching in Cin-
cinnati.
Quite a number of honors have
fallen to the lot of old Delta U since
last year. Bridgman, '06, is track
manager of Scarab, the senior so-
ciety, a member of the Cotillion club,
on the Glee club and at the Senior

elections recently was elected proph-

ager of the "Amherst Literary
Monthly/' and last spring took one
of the Ladd prizes In Puhlic Speak-
ing. Howe, '06, is on the Glee club
and chairman of the College Dramat-
ics committee. Glasgow, '06, and
Hall, '06, were elected to the Phi
Beta Kappa on the first drawing last
spring. Hall is also ivy orator and
manager of the college dramatics for
the year. Lewis, '06, is fullback on
the Varsity football team and also a
member of Scarab. Pethybridge, '06,
is on the musical clubs, and Thayer,
'06, on the golf team. Osborn, '07,
is at his old position of right guard
on the Varsity football team. Com-
ins, '07, has been class secretary for
three years, and is our representative
on the Olio board for this year.
Palmer, '07, took the second prlzt
in Sophomore Latin last year. In
the annual flag rush between the
Freshmen and Sophomores held this
fall, Feagans, '08, won the contest
for the Sophomores by capturing the
flag in about two minutes. He wab
also a member of his class basebah
team. Gllpatric, '08, was a member
of the Freshman Kellogg flfteen in
declamation last year. Derbyshire,
'05, and Gardner, '05, were elected
to Phi Beta Kappa last year. Derby-
shire was also on the Hyde sixteen
and the Hardy flfteen. Ine Kent
prize of |100 was awarded to Gard-
ner, '05, for the best essay on an
assigned topic.
The chapter feels very proud of the
Freshman delegation. We are sure
that they will prove one of the strong-
est Delta U. has ever had at Am-
herst. H. L. Smith, '09, has already
made the Banjo club, and Is secre-
tary of his class. In the fall track
meet McKay, '09, took third place
in the mile run, beating out some fast
men.
Our house is always open, and we
would be glad to see any of the
brothers who may be in this vicinity
at any time. T. B. AVBRILL.

'54 — The late WiUard Merrill
formed the subject of a comparison
with certain prominent insurance
officials in an editorial In the "Boa-
ton Transcript," a part of which fol-
lows:
Sometimes we are enabled through
force of contrast to obtain a clearer
light on questionable transactions.
The "Waterbury American" of a re-
cent date contains a letter written in
1896 by Willard Merrill, vice-presi-
dent of the Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance Company, In answer to
the solicitation of a Republican con-
gressional committee In Iowa for
campaign funds. This letter was a
courteous refusal to comply, an ex-
tract from which was as follows:
"This company has never made a
contribution of that sort. We have
felt that we had no right to make a
contribution even In cases where a
great disaster had overtaken a city
or a section of the country. We are
aware that some companies have
made contributions in some of these
cases, but under our charter, and as
we understand our duty, we have felt
compelled to drcline when requests
have been made. There are both
Democrats and Republicans on the
official staff of this company, but we
are without exception this fall In
favor of sound money and shall vote
accordingly. We have no sympathy
with the free coinage of silver, but
we do not feel at liberty to take part
as a company In any political cam-
paign."
There Is no casuistry about that
reply. It Is the plain outgiving of an
honest man. "The American" speaks
of Mr. Merrill, who is now dead, but
who used to be an occasional visitor
In Waterbury, as "a man of Ideal
conscientiousness, and one whose re-
ligion Influenced and decided every
act of his life. He was a very strong
Republican, an Insurance man of the
Jacob Greene type, and we are glad to
believe that such men are In the ma-
jority. We don't hear much about
them because they never become no-
torious. Downright business honesty
neither courts nor receives publicity
— as a rule. Sometimes It Is neces-
sary to bring It Into view at the front
of the stage to show that It has not
perished from the earth.

dents of the three New York life in-

convicts were less deserving of eter-
nal stigma, than they were. The
meeting was held under the auspices

Dr. Tuttle declared that the worst
men seldom entered prison. Those
who did time left disgraced for life.
Trickery in business he denounced

'86 — Speaking before the special
commission appointed to consider in-
dustrial and technical education, ai
the Masachusetts State House on
September 22, Robert A. Woods said
there is great need throughout the
country for men of highly trained
skill. "We have done much to de-
velop captains of industry/' said Mr.
Woods, "but the places of non-com-
missioned officers are lacking in com-
petent men. The industrial future of
Massachusetts depends on our devel-
oping a higher degree of skill. The
fact that 30,000 men in this State are
taking instruction in the correspond-
ence schools show how much special
training is needed. The majority of
the pupils turned out by the public
schools are sure to enter the ranks of
the unskilled. We need institutions
which will give high-grade training
with instructions in the principles of
several trades. There is no danger
of flooding the ranks of industry,
though some workingmen are afraid
of it."

The year of 1905 marks the be-
ginning of the 103rd year of Bow-
doin college and never was a year
more favorable to the success 01
Bowdoin's future. The class of 1909
is the largest class that has ever en-
tered Bowdoin. It is full of athletic
material as well as scolastic ability.
Four freshmen have already made
their places on the football team,
three of whom are Delta Upsilon
men, Blair, '09, quarterback, Stacey,
'09, right-tackle and Hafford, '09,
right half back. Reed, '09, is also a
promising man on the varsity squad.
In the baseball games between
the sophomores and freshmen, '08
sophomore team we were represent-
sophomores team we were represent-
ed by Hayes, '08, and on the fresh-
man team by Richardson, '09, and
Harlow, '09. In the freshmen-
sophomore football game soon to be
played we will be well represented.
At the recent class election Bro.
Phillips, '09, was chosen vice-presi-
dent of the freshman class.
Prepartions are already being
made for the college glee club and
Delta Upsilon will show up well.
Wilson, '07, who sang on the club
last year, will fill the same position
this year and also the position of
as8t.-manager. One or two fresh-
men will also make a strong bid for
52
THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
places. In the college band Cooper,
'09, is solo cornetlst.
Wilson, '07, manager of the base-
ball team is making preparations for
the college minstrels, for the benefit
of the baseball association, to be held
January 19th. Delta Upsilon will
have several men in the chorus, also
one end-man, Kingsley, '07, and
one soloist, Blair, '09.
Through the boundless energy and
fraternal loyalty of our alumni, we
have secured the finest chapter house
at Bowdoin, as has been admitted by
popular opinion. It has been a great
incentive and a great aid to us in
securing men.
Our rushing this year was done by
very simple methods. Very little
money was spent to entertain men,
as it was not necessary. We simply
invited a man to dinner, showed him
the house, and the fellows, told him
of the merits of Delta Upsilon, and
he pledged. In this way we got six-
teen men, and were obliged to turn
away several more. This, I think,
shows, more than anything else, how
well Delta Upsilon is thought of out-
side of the college world. In closing
I extend, in behalf of the Bowdoin
chapter a cordial invitation to all
Delta Upsilon men to visit us, when-
ever they are in the boundaries of
the State of Maine.

Since last June, affairs at Brown
have been progressing in their nor-
mal manner, and Delta Upsilon haa
had its usual allotment of competi-
tive and elective honors. The most
important events at the end of the
year were, of course, the Class Day
and Commencement Day exercises, in
both of which Delta Upsilon was.
represented by Cronkhite, '05, who
delivered the Address to the Under-
graduates and was also one of the
four commencement Speakers chosen
by the faculty. On Class Day the
Chapter entertained its visiting Alum-
ni and friends at the fraternity house,
to our enjoyment as well as theirs.
Among the honors distributed at
the end of the year. Delta U. was
represented by Wood, *05, who re-
ceived tne Phi Beta Kappa key; by
Whitenack, '06, who was elected to
the Camarian Club, the honorary
senior society at Brown; by Dennet,
'07, and Hurley, '07, who were ap-
pointed to membership in the
Sphinx, a literary and philosophical
society; by Bruce, '07, and Dennet,
'07, who received respectively the-
first and second prizes in the Hicks
Prize Debate; by MacPherson, '07,
who won the third Carpenter Prize
in Oratory; by Whitenack, '06, who-
was appointed editor of the Brown
Study in the Brunonian, our month-
ly; and by Macgregor, '07, who wab
made a member of the Board of Ath-
letic Directors. As for athletics
last spring, in base-ball, though we
had no 'Varsity men we supplied the
class teams with good material.
Among the winners of numerals in
base-ball were Reynolds, '07, Gumey,
'07, Brown, *07, Dennet, '07, mana-
ger; Lyall, '08, and Townsend, '08.
This fall, in athletics, Brown is
gaining strength, and on one of the
finest foot-ball teams In the college's
history is Macgregor, '07, the veteran
tackle, and Conklin, '08, last year's
guard and this year's center. In the
inter-class Field Day events. Tucker,
'06, Swaffleld, '06, Gallup, '07, and
Bruce, '07, all won their numerals.

class elections, Whitenack, '06, was

Debating Union for the ensuing
year, while Hughes, '09, is vice-
president of the Freshman Debating

sented on the musical clubs by
Hughes, '09. Burgess, '09, was a
large winner in the freshman prize
Elxaminations, taking first honors In
both Mathematics and Latin, and a
half second in Greek.
As a whole we are looking forward
to an active season this year.

'70 — E. Benjamin Andrews, chan-
cellor of the University of Nebraska,
has come to the defence of the men
who have amassed large fortunes,
and who use them intelligently.
Chancellor Andrews, as a member
of the committee which will dispense
the 110,000,000 gift of John D. Rock-
efeller for educational purposes, has
been making a study of the questions
involved. In an address on Septem-
ber 23, he said:
"Current rage against promoters is
in great measure simply part and
parcel of the popular hostility felt
against all the wealthy. This hatred,
so deep, so widespread, so intense,
even to savagery, so unreasoning ana
so relentless, I deem the most
dagerous sign of our times.
"Hardly a newspaper in the land
but frequently gives it; various pul-
pits are equally intemperate. The pith
is that this gnashing of teeth goes
on against the rich as such, without
the least discrimination between
good and good for nothing. After
the lessons of past years, adults who
lose by being drawn into unsea-
worthy schemes should be ashamed
to plead the baby act."
'81 — Charles B. Hughes was nom-
inated by the Republican party foi
the ofl9ce of Mayor of New York city,
without his previous consent. When
officially notified of the nomination
he informed the committee that as
he could not accept without sacrific-
ing the work he had undertaken as
chief counsel for the legistlaive in-
surance inquiry committee he was
constrained to decline. It was a
most unprecedented situation and
evoked a great deal of comment in
the newspapers, which unanimously
commended the strong and charact-
eristic stand taken by Bro. Hughes.
Charles E. Hughes, chief counsel
of the N. Y. Legislative Insurance
Inquiry Committee will be one of
the speakers at the dinner of the New
York Alumni of the University of
Rochester at the University club,
December 4.

M. Sheldon, the reform preacher and
author, whose book, "In His Steps,"
brought him fame, was dangerously
ill at Topeka, Kan., and may have to
submit to an operation. A consul-

case alarming.
'87 — ^A protest against the use of
sensational methods for attracting
people to church services was made
by the Rev. Dr. B. L. Whitman at the
last meeting of the Philadelphia
Baptist association at Philadelphia on
October 11.
"We should not ask people into
our churches to worship," he said,
"and then present to them a program
for mere entertainment. When our
ministers are truly imbued witu the
spirit of God there will not be used
such subjects for sermons as 'A Wo-
man in the Case,' a sermon on John
the Baptist, 'How It Looks to a Man
Up a Tree,' a sermon on Zaccheus,
and 'Come and Hear a Donkey Bray,*^
a sermon on Balaam and his ass.

that ought to be done by people in
the congregation that he does not
have sufficient time for prayerful
preparation and study. In many

mittees. What we need most of all
is to call ourselves back to the life
of prayer."

At present the greater part of our

the new Dartmouth coaches to de-
feat Stanford on November 11th.
As yet the team has not been scored
against and Judging from the game
that the freshman team put up when
it beat Stanford 6-0, we will not be
disappointed with the varsity when
its turn comes. Stem, '06, will
play right guard, which position he
has filled for the last two years and
Golcher, '08, is putting up a good
fight for left half.
The game this year will be played
on the new football field at Stanford.

At the opening of the fall term
our active membership was reduced
to twelve by the loss of Hunt and
Davis, '07, and Higglns, '08. Pour
only of our pledged men entered col-
lege this year, but as a result of a
very successful rushing season we
were able to initiate twelve men.
The annual initiation took place at
the Chapter Hall, Thursday evening,
October 12. After the initiation
ceremonies encouraging words were
spoken by President White, Brown,
'87; and Bro. Dunham, '86, presented
to the Chapter a framed photograph
of the Pifty-flrst Annual Convention
held with the Rochester Chapter.
The Initiation Banquet took place on
the following evening at the Cony
House, Augusta, at which Bro. Stev-
enson, (ex-*02) Harvard, '03, pre-
sided as toastmaster.
We have another representative
on the faculty this year, Bro. D. K.
Arey, '05, assistant in Biology. On
the football squad we have Lincoln,
'06, Lyons, '08, McLellan, Morgan,
and Hackett, '09. In the musical
organizations we have: on the Glee
Club, Betts, '07, manager; Richard-
son, Tallman, Poye, and Chandler,
'09; on the Mandolin Club, Lincoln,
'06, leader; Chandler, Tallman,
Blanchard, and Merrill, '09; in the
College Choir, Keene, '06, organist;
Betts, '07, first tenor.
In literaray activities we have: on
the College weekly, Lincoln, '06, lit-
erary editor, Betts, '07, news editor;
on the annual, Betts, '07, Junior
editor.
Our men also hold many important
class offices. In the class of 1906
Keene Is poet. Coombs toastmaster,
and Stevens member of the executive
committee; in 1907 Colpitts is chap-
lain and Betts poet; in 1908 Tribou
is secretary, Libby poet, and Condon
a member of the executive committee;
in 1909 Hackett Is secretary.
A spirit of loyalty, enthusiasm and

and the present year bids fair to be
one of the most successful in the his-
tory of the Chapter.

We feel that the opening weeks of
college have been most prosperous
for us. Through the rushing season
every one has worked hard for the
chapter, and we have every reason to
feel proud of the new men whom we
have Initiated and we believe they
will prove most loyal Delta U's. We
have also a fine start on a delegation
for next year, having four men
pledged. While the rushing season
Is practically over for this fall, yet we
strive to make the whole year a rush-
ing season In order that we may look
over well the material in the Acad-
emy.
On October 19 our annual initia-
tion banquet was held and we were
pleased to have with us a number
of our alumni and three men from
the Hamilton chapter. The following
toasts were responded to at the
banquet, Joseph F. McOregory,Ph.D.,

This year we are very fortunate in
that we have in town four of last
year's class who are ever ready to
advise and aid us. They are: Bro.
Aude, who is the instructor in
Mechanical Drawing In College and
teaches Chemistry in the Academy,
and who is also the coach of the
Academy football team; Bro. Bailey,
who has entered the Seminary; Bro.
K. O. Smith, who is doing work in
the college; and Bro. W. A. Root,
who is in business with his father.
A. M. Hughes, '06, is teaching first
year Greek and Anabasis in college
in connection with his regular senioi
work. On the football team we have
Stowell, *07, and Porter, '06. The
latter, who Is manager of the basket-
ball team for this year, is very busy
arranging the schedule of games for
the season. Cronkhlte, '09, is captain
of the freshman track team. In the
Sophomore-Freshman Track Meet,
which was held this fall, Jones, '09,
took first place In the 100-yard dash,
and Cronkhite, '09, won the pole
vault.
We expect to celebrate on Novem-
ber 21 the fortieth anniversary of
the founding of our chapter, and ex-
pect to have a rousing time then.
We have under way now a move-
ment for the purpose of obtaining
funds with which to refurnish our
parlor. Letters were sent to all our
alumni asking for help and they have
responded most nobly, and we extend
our thanks to those who have alread>
aided us.
The college this year has an enter-
ing class of over ninety.
Science Hall, for which ground was
broken last spring, is steadily ap-
proaching completion and is to be a
fine addition to our group of college
buildings.
We feel that It was a great priv-
ilege to our chapter to have the na-
tional convention so near. A large
number of our men and alumni were
present at the different meetings, and
we all received great inspiration to
work harder for delta U in the
future. On Saturday and Sunday
after the convention our chapter en-
tertained about twenty men from dif-
ferent chapters.

As the result of strenuous rushing
since the end of September, we have
secured three good men from the
entering class. Our freshmen are
quickly becoming factors In college
life. In the fall regatta Hoag rowed
on his class crew. Pell is out for
"Spectator" and Is trying for the mid-
dleweight event in the cane sprees,
which come off just before the Christ-
mas holidays. On November 6, In
the presence of a large number of
alumni, these three men were inltia*
ted into membership in the fraternity.
We have a good representation in the
Law School this year, all three affili-
ates being members of its entering
class.
On October 6, we held an informal
housewarmlng in our new abode, in
order that our alumni might again
get in touch with the fellows and see
what we have been doing for the last
few months. Many of the older men
were on hand. The New York chap-
ter attended in a body, including Bro.
Crossett, '84, who left a gigantic
loose-leaf register at his departure,,
as a present to the chapter. Our
new house has been a great help in
the keen rushing that has been going
on. It is comfortably filled at pres-
ent, there being room for about &
dozen men In all. Warren, '04, who
is In business down town, is living
with us for the winter.
In the quarter Just past we have
been very much In evidence about
college. Maynard, '06, was elected
secretary of the senior class, a per-
manent position. Roberts, '07, is
treasurer of the junior science class,
and Chapln, '07, has been elected
secretary of the college division.
Varsity basketball practice has just
started. Several positions on the
team are to be filled by substitutes
on last year's squad, and from the
early work Halght, '06, and Fet
tretch, '06, are first choice In their
respective positions.
At a meeting of the lacrosse asso-
ciation In October, Temple, '06, was
elected president, and Hill, '07, sec-
retary. Temple played on the la-
crosse team all last season at cover-
point.
The University trophy-room is now
under the direction of Maynard, '06.
On November 17 the musical clubs
went to Ithaca, where a joint concert
was held with the Cornell clubs on
the evening before the Columbia-
Cornell football game. Mastln, '08»
and F. Swartwout, '08, were with
the glee club, while Temple, '06,
played with the mandolin club.
We were glad to entertain the
Swarthmore delegates, Bros. Palmer
and Walker, as they passed through
New York on their way to the con-
vention. Our delegates, Essex, '06»
and Roberts, '07, returned from Utlca
with glowing reports of the reception
they met with up state. The trans-
actions of the convention were re-
ceived by the chapter with much
pleasure. It becomes our agreeable

We began the year with a small
chapter, owing to the fact that we lost
last year five men by graduation, and
three who have gone into business.
However, we are very fortunate in
having with us three of the old men —
Bros. A. D. Camp, R. C. Rodgers and
H. E. Santee. Bros. Camp and Rod-
gers, of the class of '05, are instruct-
ing in the university, and Bro. San-
tee, '04, is completing his course in
medicine.
On October 28 the thirty-sixth an-
nual initiation banquet was held at
the chapter house. A number of
alumni members of the chapter were
present and speeches were in order.
Robert James Eidlitz, '85, was toast-
master.
In athletics the chapter has not
been exceedingly active. H. E. Davis,.
'07, varsity fullback last year, has*
been forced to withdraw from the
team this year owing to injuries that
he received some time ago. How-
ever, the pledged men are showing ft
very active spirit in college activities,
and are making a very good start.
One of them is already on the board
of the paper published by the Col-
lege of Engineering, and several oth-
ers are working hard on their class
athletic teams.
We have on the Glee Club two men,
Nichols, '06, and I. Davis, '08; and
Wesson is on the Mandolin Club.
Nichols was also successful in the
competition for the Masque, our uni-
versity dramatic club. H. P. BuBois»
'06, is the editor-in-chief of the Cor-

'72 and '74 — ^The address to the In-
coming freshman class of Stanford
University, which for many years has
been delivered by President David
Starr Jordan, was given this year by
Dr. John Casper Branner, vice-presi-
dent of the university and acting
president in the absence of Dr. Jor-
dan. In this address President Jor-
dan has always outlined the path-
ways in which the freshman who de-
sires to do right should walk, and his
dry humor has made it one of the In-
teresting events of the opening of
the college year. The address was
given a somewhat broader scope this
year, and was intended for the ears
of the whole university.
'77 — ^Dr. Leland O. Howard, en-

Dr. L. O. Howard was sent to Eu-
rope in June by the Massachusetts
entomological officials for the purpose
of collecting and shipping to this
country parasites for the suppression
of the gypsy and brown tail moths.
On his return he announced that he
had made an agreement with Euro-
pean officials whereby they will Ship
to this country the insects needed
here for the moth warfare, in return
for American parasites which are
needed abroad.
Speaking of his plans, Dr. Howard
)said that the parasites he had secur-
«ed merely would keep the moth pest
in check, and that property owners
'{Should not in any way relax their
^watchfulness over their trees.

Last year was looked upon as a
signal year for De Pauw University.
But the opening of this year surpas-
ses last with a greater number of
students, a better financial outlook,
and many improvements on the col-
lege buildings and grounds. With-
out a doubt the new era predicted
for De Pauw is already here and no
one has contributed so much to this
bright outlook as has President
Hughes.
However in football our iftiowing
has not been so satisfactory as it was
last year. The general line up is not
LETTERS AND NEWS ITEMS
6i
so good. The heaviest blow which
the team sustained at the beginning
of the season was the absence of its
captain, Bro. Carl Tucker, who was
in the West and owing to circum-
stances over which he had no control
was rendered unable to return this
term. The team has had to over-
come other obstacles such as injured
men and men going out at request
of parents. As a result of all this
our first gfames were not promising.
But through the faithful work of
the coach and the Athletic Board a
good team has been developed and
our last three games have scored
victory and honor for De Pauw.
For years De Pauw Delta Upsilon
has looked forward to the time when
she could possess a chapter house.
As a result of much faithful work,
planning and sacrificing on the part
of alumni members and of the active
chapter, our men returned this year
to a beautiful fraternity home. The
method of purchasing was by the
incorporation of a house company,
^ares taken by the alumni and men
of the active chapter.
There were ten old men back with
the opening of school. In the hard-
est spike that De Pauw has ever seen
eight splendid representative men
donned the gold and blue. On ac-
count of a slight amount of prepara-
tory work yet to be done by two of
these men, William Brown of Green-
castle, Indiana, and Arthur C. Cor-
nell of Paw Paw, Illinois, they will
not be initiated until later in the
year.
Already this year we have had
several visits from Alumni members.
These visits afforded us great pleas-
ure, and we extend a cordial invita-
tion to any who might at any time
be able to come and see us.

on the Varsity; White. '08, sub. left
end; Allen, '08, sub. right end; Knee-

Majmard, '06, and Clark, '07, are
supporting the "Life," and Swetman,
'07, is busily engaged as business
manager of the "Hamiltonian."
Our freshmen are already taking
an active part in college life. Spen-
cer, '09, was elected temporary presi-
dent of his class at the first election.
Leavenworth, '09, won the Baldwin
prize entrance examination with pa-
pers of a very high character; he is
also a promising track man. Meeker,
'07, one of our initiates, won the first
prize in speaking last June for his
class; he is also the assistant mana-
ger of the musical clubs and a mem-
ber of the Advisory Board. And so
with the good work of our old mem-
bers and the excellent start of our
new men, we feel that our chapter
has promise of a successful year.

'61 — After thirty years spent In
educational work. Dr. David L.
Kiehle is going back to preach in the
church which he founded in Preston,
Minn., forty years ago, when he came
to Minnesota fresh from Union Theo-
logical seminary. For ten years af-
ter he came to Minnesota Dr. Kiehle
was pastor of the Presbyterian
church in Preston. He organized
the congregation and secured funds
to erect a church building. Then he
left the ministry to follow education-
al work.
His services to the educational sys-
tem of the state are too well known
to need detailed comment. He began
as superintendent of schools at St.
Cloud, and from there was called to
the office of state superintendent of
education. Later he organized the
pedagogical department of the state
university, where he still remains
as head of the summer training
school for teachers.
Dr. Kiehle's return to the minis-
try is not permanent. He says: "[
have no intention of severing my con-
nection with educational work or re-
turning permanently to the ministry.
I shall continue my work in connec-
tion with the School of Home Study
and Correspondence through the win-
ter and mail addressed to me here
will be forwarded to me at Preston."
'73 — J. Edman Massee has been
seriously 111 for nearly a year. We
hope to report his full recovery soon.
'79 — ^A practical working out of
advanced religious thought has re-
sulted in a very significant movement
under the leadership of the former
evangelist, Benjamin Fay Mills, in
Los Angeles, Cal. Of the movement
the "Arena" says: "Beginning a few
months since with only a handful of
devoted individuals and a great idea,
with no organization, no money, no
meeting place, no prestige or lever-
age of powerful influence, the Los
Angeles Fellowship has grown into
a compact organization of over 1,000
contributing members, with 25 work-
ing committees, with activities along
many lines, with a cash asset of
114,000, with a hearing in the public
press, and with universal enthusiasm
and limitless hopes and purposes. The
head of the fellowship is, of course^
its founder, Mr. Mills; working with
him is his wife; and working undei
their direction are other members of
their family and a large number of
committees, secretaries, assistants^
etc.
The attendance at Mr. Mills' pub-
lic meetings has been phenomenal.
The difficulty has not been to get the
people to come, but to get halls large
enough to hold them. Hall after hall
has been given up as too small.
Plans are now being perfected for
the erection of a great building to
accommodate the various activitiea
of the fellowship, including a hall
for public meetings, amusement halls,
business headquarters, committee
rooms, publication offices of the Fel-

Ralph Underbill, who had been elect-

is now teaching at the Choate School,
In Walllngford, Conn.; W. W. Thay-
er, who is now a Rhodes scholar at
Oxford, but Is with us here in spirit;
Frank Spencer, who played on the
Nine last spring, and Clarence Kemp-
ner, our star actor, now reporting for
a New York paper. Thes^ were seri-
ous losses, indeed, but at the very
opening of college we were mucu
saddened by the untimely death of
Bro. Walter Le Grande Gifford, at his
home In North East, Md. Bro. Gif-
ford had been one of our most active
and beloved members, and at the
time of his death held the position of
chapter editor. In addition, our
treasurer, Austin, left for a year to
accept a position as a tutor in Rye,
N. Y., but fortunately left the funds
in the capable hands of Bro. Eustls.
Football is now the all-engrossing
topic of conversation. Hanley is a
candidate for fullback on the Varsity,
while Kempner is shining as quarter-
back on the Second. The work of
Hurlin In composing football music
'Should also have its effects when we
meet Yale on November 25th. Keays
also sacrificed a collar bone to help
the good cause along. Johnson, '07,

Eaton of the Andover club.
Of last year's graduates, eleven
have returned to the University as
members of the various graduate
schools. Bates is a Rhodes scholltr,
Demlng and Whitney are assistants in
college courses. Groves is a proctor,
and secretary of the Phillips Brooks
House association. Gring, our star
pole-yaulter of two years back, has
returned after a year's absence, Ad-
ams is seen occasionally, and John-
son, Whitney, Burns, and several
more "grads" are living at the house.
The great event of our year is al-
ways the annual Elizabethan play,
and with this in the capable hands of
Hurlin, a successful season is as-
sured. The play has not been defi-
nitely selected as yet, but will proba-
bly be "Monsieur Thomas," by Beau-
mont and Fletcher. Though we have
lost Clarence Kempner, our shining
light for two seasons, yet nine of last
year's cast have returned, while
among our new members there is
promise of good material.
The chapter begins the year with
every sign of a successful season, and
if the finances can be successfully
managed, we hope to be in a position
to build a new house In the spring.

Out of the smallest Freshman class
that has entered Lafayette for a
number of years the chapter has suc-
ceeded in obtaining oight good solid
men for Delta U. With twelve
fraternities rushing at once the
competition was unusually high and
we are congratulating ounfelves on
getting our share of men, in fact,
more than our share. On October
24 the new men were impressively
initiated, following whic^^ we held a
banquet at the Huntingdon Hotel
where the active chapter and our
alumni endeavored to infuse true
Delta U loyalty and enthusiasm into
the initiates.
The new Theta Delta Chi house is
about completed and there is a
rumor that another fraternity is
about to break ground for a new
home. This inspires us to greater
effort as we realized during the past
rushing season the difficulty of
properly entertaining new men with-
out the aid of a house.
In athletics Brother Shields, '06,
was playing sub-end on the Varsity
till put out of the game by injuries
and Brother Styer, '08, is a half-
back on the Scrub. In the class base-
ball games at the opening of the
term Brother Reeder and MorL
played with 1906, Brother Lerch
with 1907, Brothers Kinsey, Craig
and Wade with 1908 and Brptl^er
Ross with 1909.
We are indebted to Brother David
Proctor, Columbia, '01, leading man
in the "Message from Mars" Co. for
his kindness and forethought in re-
serving a box at the theater for the
Delta U's of Lehigh and Lafayette
during his recent performance here.
The ^ow was thoroughly delightful
and the chapter appreciates the spirit
of Brother Proctor.
The delegates to the seventy-first
convention desire to take this oppor-
tunity to extend their thanks and
appreciation to the Hamilton chap-
ter for the royal manner In which
they were entertained during their
stay in Utlca and Clinton.

The college year 1904-05 closed
for us with a banquet celebrating
the twentieth anniversary of' the
founding of the Chapter. Brother
Goldsmith of the Quarterly and
Brother F. M. Crossett, New York,
'84, who was largely instrumental in
the founding of our Chapter, added
much to the pleasure of ihe occa-
sion by their presence. After the
banquet, a meeting was held and an
Alumni AjBSOCiation organized*,
which has since incorporated.
We lost two men at the close of
the college year, Burchsted, '04-06
and Brown '07, and to our great dis-
may, two more were forced to leave
at the opening of college by a ne%
faculty rule concerning conditions.
These were A. B. Marshall, '07, and
Hunter, '07. They will return,
however, in the summer of 1906, and
there is a possibility that Brothers
Burchsted and Brown also will re
turn.
The house was open all summer,
a goodly number of us being here,
either in summer school or at work.
The number of active members ii.
the house this fall is rather small
owing to the loss of the four brothers
mentioned, and to the fact that one
of our men is living outside. But
we are enabled to get along very
comfortably by the aid of Brothers
Jones '04, Mendoza '04, and Galvin
'05 who are living with us.
On Founders Day, Oct. 12 th., took
place the Installation of the new
President of the University, Henry
S. Drinker, C. E., of Philadelphia, an
enthusiastic and loyal Lehigh man.
a very able lawyer, and a thorough
gentleman. He has become very
popular in the short time he has been
with us; and a period of great pros-
perity and advancement is assured
to Lehigh under his competent direc-
tion of her affairs. Brother Harlan
S. Miner, '88, gave the Address of
Welcome from the Alumni at the
Installation banquet.
After the ceremony of installation,
ground was brolcen for Drown
Memorial Hall, which is to be erected
on the campus in memory of the late
President Drown.
The Hall, which was one of Dr.
Drown's most cherished plans, is to
be a student's club with a large
auditorium, a dining hall, reception
rooms, pool, billiard and lounging
rooms, bowling alleys, etc.
President Drinker wishes to in-
augurate a dormitory system, and
there is some talk of giving build-
ing sites on the campus to such of
the fraternities as desire to build
there. If these plans should be car-
ried out they will revolutionize col-
lege and fraternity life at Lebigh.
The Delta Tau Deltas and the
Alpha Tau Omegas have, this fall,
moved into new quarters somewhat
nearer the campus.
The football outlook did not seem
very encouraging at the outset, bat
the team is showing steady improve-
ment, and is likely to make a strong
finish. Dunn, '07, at center and
Rommel, '08 at half-back are repre-
senting Delta U. on the Varsity.
Brother Dunn has played in every
game tbus far and is doing excellent
work. Brother Rommel has played
in the last four games and bids fair
to hold down his position for the
rest of the season. H. C. Marshall,
'06, is doing very nearly varsity work
on the scrub.
Stair, '07 is stage manager of the
Minstrel Show, and Smith, '06, and
Denlinger, '06. are senior-instructors
in chemistry.
Our rushing prospects are unusual-
ly bright. Although we are not al-
lowed to pledge freshmen until New
Tear's, we are rushing a large num-
ber of exceptionally good men. Ow-
ing to the fact that seven of our num-
ber expect to graduate in June, it is
necessary that we take a large quota

'84 — Both hisses and cheers greet-
ed the address of Charles G. Dawes
of Chicago before the meeting of the
State Bankers' association. Mr.
Dawes championed corporation
methods against Indiscriminate
<;ritici8m. He directed his powers
of denunciation against the "down-
with-the-high-flnance" school of lit-
erature, and praised the Garfield re-
port on the beef trust.
The preceding speaker had com-
mented upon the multitudinous sins
of the captains of industry in rough-
shod manner. Mr. Dawes was not
able to contain his rising indignation.
He began a vehement counter-attack
as soon as he was given the floor, and
was greeted by a tempest of hisses.
But, nothing daunted, the ex-con-
troller of the currency continued,
modeling his style on "Cicero against
<3atiline," and the effect was spec-
tacular. He brought his peroration
to a thrilling climax with a staccato
dictum that reduced his hearers to
ti state of rich and penitent enthusi-
asm.
••To hell with platitudes," de-
claimed Mr. Dawes. Never did an
actor make a better point than the
usually sedate president of Chicago's
Central Trust company. The west-
ern appreciation of a breezy phrase
broke loose in a whirl of applause.
Mr. Dawes had converted the hissers
and the lance hurled in defense of
capitalism had struck home.
"I felt humiliated and ashamed at
the remarks of the speaker who has
Just finished," he began. **The gen-
tleman saw nothing but wrong in
everything. He seemed to be search-
ing for the seamy side and to be
overlooking the virtues in the ques-
tion. This is no time for such utter-
ances."
Here the hisses started, but Mr.
Dawes could not be stopped.
'*! have no sympathy with the man
who has been 'stuck' in Amalga-
mated," he continued. "The first
lesson in the business of stock buy-
ing is to know exactly how much
each share is worth. Stop these
indefinite accusations. Do not try to
fight Rockefeller, the steel trust, and
half a dozen other organizations at
once. Find one that is doing wrong
and punish it. The lamentable fact
is that you who howl continually
have no constructive theories. We
have too many iconoclasts and too
few effective builders. It is the man
who works for the right, not the man
who talks against the wrong, that Is
the real reformer.
"This is the day of critics. Waves
of investigation, such as are now
sweeping over the land, come in
periods of prosperity, for when we
get our nose to the grindstone after
a period of depression our first
thought is to poke that nose into
somebody else's business.
"Let us have a sane consideration
of the trust and corporation questions.
There are good corporations and bad
corporations. It is the duty of the
citizens of the country to study the
original contracts upon which co&
porations are based. Were this done
there would be less stock bought and
fewer people defrauded out of
money. Politicians and office seek-
ers should not be permitted to look
into the questions. Sane business
men must take them up.
"Prepare yourselves for the settle-
ment of industrial questions in a
logical manner. Do not denounce
everything in general, but study some
particular evil and then fight hard.
Know your subject before you begin."
Mr. Dawes defined a corporation
as a device for the "distribution of
risk, profits, ownership and manage-

The college year opened at McGill
with bright prospects for our fra-
ternity. We had only three men in
last year's graduating class and one
of them is back with us taking a
further degree. We have already
taken in four men and have a line on
several more. Bro. Will Stewart, one
of our new initiates, is president of
the McGill Athletic Association, the
body which controls all athletics at
McCill.
The university Inter year sports
were held on October 18. McCuaig,
'06, ran first in the 220 yards and sec-
ond in the 100 yards and 440 yards.
Bro. Waugh distinguished himself by
breaking the college records in the
high jump and 120-yard hurdle
events. He also won a place in the
broad jump.
On October 20th the McGill track
team captained by Bro. McCuaig de-
feated the track teams of Toronto and
Queens, Bro. McCuaig making the
highest individual score.
On the football field we have Bro*
Beckwith playing centre scrimmage
for the first XIV. and several of the
brethren playing on their class teams.
At the annual meeting of the
hockey club Bro. Ldndsay was elected
president and at a later meeting Bro.
McCuaig was chosen as manager of
the team. Bro. Walker also is on
the hockey club executive.
In the intercollegiate football
league McGill was unfortunate in los-
ing her first two games each by the
margin of but one point, but on
Thanksgiving day she decisively de-
feated Ottawa College. She was alsa
awarded a draw in place of her first
defeat as the ruling of the referee on
one point was held to be wrong by a
meeting of the league.
At the Rifie Competition held Oc-
tober 28 Bro. Woodyatt won sixth
place and Bro. Lindsay also figured
in the prize list.
Bro. McCuaig is president of
Science, '06.
This year the new McGill Y. M.
C. A. building called "Strathcona
Hall" in honor of one of the princi-
pal donors, Lord Strathcona, wa»
opened. It is a beauUful and well
furnished building of five stories in
height containing besides large sit-
ting and reading rooms a large audi-
torium and also apartments for about
60 or 80 students.
Bros. McCuaig, Waugh and David-
son report a splendid time at the con-

College has now been under way
for a little over a month, and every-

Above all, we have secured a large

detracting at all from past classes,

best ever." In short, we are more
than satisfied.

eral days, and made a great impres-
sion upon all of us.
Brothers Anderson and Tunison of
Nebraska stopped off to see us as they
passed through bound for convention,,
and we shall not be satisfied until
they come again.
But we have had one deep sorrow
this fall in the death of our dearly
beloved brother, William Russell
Lloyd. He graduated last year from
the Law department, having previous-
ly received his A. B. degree here also,
was one of the best known men in
the university, and without doubt did
more for the fraternity than any man
whom we have had with us in the
past six years. His memory will ever
be fresh, though he is no longer with
us in person. ESlsewftiere in this
number will be found resolutions of
the chapter concerning his death.

Well, the Fall campaign is over,
and we have had our usual success
as regards a Freshman delegation.
On the first Saturday of the term
we gave a dance in our rooms which,
under the able management of Bro.
Holmes, was a success in every
sense of the word. Since then we
have given but one dance. It is our
•custom to hold these about once m
two weeks throughout the year. Ath-
letics here this year are not as suc-
cessful as we could wish. We have
won only two games out of five. We
liave four more games and we are
going to try hard to win. At present
we have only two men on the team.

to a very successful year for our
chapter away up here in the Oreen

Hon. — Senator Redfield Proctor, in
a letter to the Secretary of the Ver-
mont State Tuberculosis Commission,
announces that he will purchase a site
and erect a sanitarium as a cost of
about $50,000 in Vermont for treat-
ment in incipient cases of tubercu-
losis.
The building will accommodate
from twenty-five to thirty patients.
In addition the Senator says he will
give 1100,000 as endowment for the
institution. He suggests that a board
representing all sections of the State,
headed by the Governor, be selected
to have charge of the sanitarium and
to provide that if the State at any
time wishes to assume the charge and
maintenance of the institution it may
in the discretion of the trustees be
turned over to the State with all its
property and funds. The site has not
been announced, but will be selected
soon. The Senator says he makes the
gift at the request of his children.

The interest of Minnesota, almost

Hundreds of people go to see the
small games. Thousands from all
parts of the state and surrounding
territory come to Minneapolis to see
a championship game. Up to date
our "varsity" team has been success-
ful; it has scored three hundred
and thirty seven (337) points
against its adversaries, while its own

goal has never been in danger of be-
ing crossed. There yet remain four
games to be played; the important
ones being with Wisconsin, Nov. 4 th,
and Nebraska.
On the "varsity" team is Brush,
'07, who plays right tackle, and
Weisel, who is sub-quarter. O'Brien,
'04, ez-Quarter, has been assisting in
coaching.
Our chapter is taking a very ac-
tive part in University affairs. We
have still two men on the Athletic
Board of Control. Claude S. Haney
is Colonel of the University Corps
Cadets and C. P. Schouten is Major
of the Ist Batallion. John Lowe, '07,
is business manager of the "Minne-
sota Daily," and associate editor of
the 1907 "Gopher," the Junior an-
nual. Two of our brothers are chair-
men of committees on the Junior Ball
Association. Geraghty, '07, was
elected president of the Junior class
of the College of Bngineerlng.
Adams, '06, is editor-in-chief of the
"Engineer's Year Book." Weisner,
'06, is president of the Engineer's So-

clubs we have three brothers, one of
whom, C. Champlne, '08, is the busi^
ness manager.
Bro. Canovarra, Cornell, 'OS,
has registered as a student in our
College of Forestry.
Lawton and Charles are now at the
convention in Utica and have already
reported that they were being royally

delegates. We hope to receive many
new ideas and added inspiration to
fulfill the ideals of Delta Upsilon.

The year of 1905-6 opened at Ne-

On September 29, the first initiation
of the year took place. The charge
to the six men was delivered by Bro.
Tuttle, Amerst, '79. According to
custom a banquet was held on the
same evening at which Bro. Harrison^
'04, acted as toast-master. He pro-
posed toasts which were replied to
by the following brothers: Dr.
French, Brown, '85; Pollard, Ne-
braska '01; Knapp, '03; Lundin, '06;
Burr, ^08; Sage, '09. Delta Upsilon
already has begun to gather in the
honors at Nebraska. Davis, '06, has
been chosen editor-in-chief of the
"Law School Annual" and also man-
ager of the Senior Play. In the Y.
M. C. A. work we have Lundin, '06,
and Burr, '08, on the cabinet, while
Stephens, '08, and Humphrey »
'08, are doing good work on commit-
tees. In the military department
three Delta Upsilon men have been
promoted to be non-commissioned of-
ficers. These are Stephens, 'OS,.
Burr, '08, and Clark, '08. The Vik-
ings, an inter-fraternity organization^
have elected Clark, '08, to member-
ship.
In athletics we are especially
strong this year. Lundin, '06, alter-
nates at right tackle on the football
team, and will probably get in some
of the big games. In basket ball w<>
have two first team men Hagensick,
'06, and Moser, '07. Winters, '09, is
also showing up. Track prospects
are excellent. Hagenslck is expected
to smash something in the pole vault
next spring and Collins, a pledge, is
a hammer thrower. Winters, '09^
another pledge, is our strongest track
possibility. His events are the quar-
ter mile and 220 yard dashes and the
broad Jump. He holds the Missouri
Valley record in the first named
event and last spring Jumped 23 feet,
6 inches. Sage, '09, has a record of
4:50 in the mile run.
Anderson and Tunison, our dele-
gates to the convention, returned
with many good ideas from the chap-
ters they visited, which we hope to
profit by. They also reported the
finest kind of a time and a warm re-
ception by all the Delta U's on their
route.
A matter has come up at Nebraska
which promises serious consequences
72
THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
if it culminates the way it has start-
ed. The board of regents of the Uni-
versity, through the faculty have
called a meeting between representa-
tives of the fraternities and repre-
sentatives of the faculty. The cause
of this is a movement to prevent fra-
ternities from rushing and pledging
men until they become sophomores.
The fraternities all are opposed to
any such move and it will probably
fall flat.
Two new buildings are being com-
pleted on the campus, the Physics
building, Just west of the old Uni-
versity hall, and the new administra-
tion building in the center of the
front campus.
Preparations for our annual ban-
quet and dance are under way for the
eighth and ninth of December, and
BO many old men have sign^ifled theii
intentention of attending that a jolly
reunion is assured.

The first month or more of college
activity has passed, and the New York
chapter has entered upon another
year of — let us hope — a successful
season. We miss with regret our
brothers of 1905, Big "Tom" Reilley
and the others, but we hope to have
them with us frequently so we will
only consider it a temporary loss.
A delegation of twenty-three active
men returned to college, including
our two captains, LiUls of the base-
ball team, and Tlppett of the track
team. Captain Reilley of football
and Captain Hardy of gym. were
lost by graduation.
New York University bids fair to
have an active season along many
lines, and prominent among its work-
ers are enrolled many Delta U's. The
positions they have won were acquir-
ed through credit and not any particu-
lar fraternity rivalry or desire. On the
1906 publication, "The Violet," edited
by the present Junior class, we have
three of the board of editors. Hill
and Van Home, with Baxter, business
manager.
Delta U. has again upheld her rep-
utation for class officers. From the
incoming freshman class we have
Macdonald, president, and Wilson*
class secretary. From the sophomore
class, Bro. Scannel is vice-president,
while Bro. Tippett holds the same
place in the senior class. The Class
Day officers have not as yet been
chosen, but Delta U. looks forward
to a good representation.
Our chapter house has, indeed,
fared well this fall. Through the ef-
forts of Bro. Crossett, '84, we have
been the recipient of forty college
shields given by prominent alumni of
Delta Upsilon among the colleges in
which We have chapters. Our Rev.
Bro. Bishop Henry Spellmeyer, D. D.,
*^^, sent the New York University
shield; William Travers Jerome,
Amherst, '82, contributed the Am-
herst emblem, and the remainder
were presented by our alumni of
note. In addition to this we have
a handsome new table and chairs for
our reception room. We have nearly
completed our collection of college
flags and wish that those chapters
which have not as yet exchanged
would come to the front promptly.
In our library we have nearly
completed our flle of Quarterlies ana
Annuals handsomely bound. Wc
have also placed there a large pic-
ture of Stephen J. Field, LL. D.,
Williams, '37, and an additional pic-
ture of President Oarfleld. It may

day awhile — great Delta U. house
there, proud of it. Success to the
convention."

•92 — J. Francis Tucker, an orator
for the Republican party, was assign-
•ed to speak at an outdoor meeting
at 117 th street and Fifth avenue,
during the recent campaign in New
York city. When those who had got
up the meeting arrived at the corner
they found a Tammany meeting
there, and accordingly moved up a
couple of blocks. Mr. Tucker, who
arrived late, had no notice of the
change. Arriving at 117th street and
finding a meeting going on, he as-
cended the platform, and requested
that he be allowed to speak at once,
as he was in a hurry to keep another
engagement. The chairman oblig-
ingly complied with his request, ana
the orator who was speaking was told
to stop and give Mr. Tucker a chance.
The first two or three sentences of
Mr. Tucker's speech struck the crowd
as queer and there were some mur-
murs of discontent, but it was not un-
til he asked, "has Mr. Murphy told
you yet where he got it?" that the
crowd tried to storm the stand.
"Where in blazes did you come
from?" asked the chairman of the
meeting.
"From the Republican County
committee," said Tucker. "Isn't this
a Republican meeting?"
The chairman conveyed to the
crowd the information that Mr. Tuck-
er was a Republican orator who had
made a mistake. The retreat of Mr.
Tucker was not conducted in good
order.

Ohio State University opened this
fall with the largest attendance in its
history, the total registration up to
date pressing near the 2,000 mark.
From all indications, the year will be
a most prosperous one and Delta U.
is sharing in the general prosperity.
All of our last year's undergrad-
uates, with the exception of one, are
back in school, thus giving us a good
nucleus to start the year's work. The
rushing here this year was more
strenuous than ever but this did not
deter us from getting the men de-
sired.
On the evening of October 14th,
we initiated three men, the initiation
being followed by a banquet at the
chapter house. A number of our
alumni delighted us with their pres-
ence and everyone had a most enjoy-
able time.
We have pledged three more men
who will be initiated at the beginning
of the year.
The football season is at its height
and so far our team has made an ex-
cellent showing. On October 28 we
met Case, our great rival, and before
a record-breaking crowd the two
teams battled through two long
halves without being able to score.
Schory, '08, the star fullback of
last year's team, is playing in old-
time form although he has just re-
cently recovered from a siege of ty-
phoid fever. Surface, '07, has been
playing a steady, consistent game at
tackle and Barrington. '09, is making
a good showing at the quarterback
position. A wealth of material is out
on the squad and by another year a
great team should be developed.
Marker, '04, captain of the 1903
team and tackle on four Varsity
teams, has been assisting in the
coaching of the team in its prepara-
tion for the coming hard battles.
Basketball which was such '^ great
success last year, is already on the
boom. Several of last year's stars
will be mls^d, but from the quantity
of material it is hoped to develop an-
other championship team. Up to
date there are over seventy candi-
dates for the team. Among Uiese
we have Felger, '06, Dennis, '07,
Schory, '08, and Barrington, '09.

Also Bros. Marquissee of Wiscon-
sin and Hunter of Lehigh who are in
the University are taking an active
Interest in the chapter and are a great
help.
But the activity of the members of
the chapter is not confined to internal t
affairs. We are well represented in
every branch of the University life.
Oaley, '06, is manager of the gymna-
sium team and Scot, '06, is manager
of the fencing team. Martin, '07, is
President of the Junior class. Abrams,
'07, is on the Junior Ball Committee.
Bennis of last year's football team is
again with the squad and will prob-
ably play one of the backfield posi-
tions. Johnston, '08, is easily first
substitute quarterback. Bromley
rowed in the first year Law crew and
Galey and Bogardus in the Senior col-
lege crew in the Fall regatta.
The University has begun the year
with very bright prospects. The en-
rollment has increased several hun-
dred, a larger increase than any other
Eastern college enjoys. The chances
for a champion football team were, at
the outset, all we could ask for. With
a host of candidates and Mike Mur-
phy as trainer it looked like a sure
thing: but accidents, illness and the-
Faculty have removed so many of the
best players that it will be hard to get
through the season without losing a
game.
We have enjoyed many visits from
members of other chapters this fall
and look forward to many more dur-
ing the year. Come and see us when-
ever in Philadelphia.

Delta Upsilon at Stanford is Just
now at its busiest time of the whole
year. The annual football game be-
tween Stanford and California is less
than two weeks away. Preparations
are being made to entertain the many

intercollegiate football game to be
played on the Stanford Campus. We
expect all of the California Chapter

which, added to the regular college
work, are keeping the members of

The advent of winter finds the
Swarthmore Chapter prosperous and
happy. Last springes elections brought
us several official honors as follows:
Palmer, '06, president of the A. A.
and basketball captain; Perkins, '06,
lacrosse and track manager; Henrie,
'07, assistant basketball manager and
track captain.
At Commencement, Bro. Rob-
inson, '05, *PK was awarded the gold
medal for scholarship and character,
while Bro. aJckson, '05, was Class
Day Presenter.
So far this fall, the football team
has been very successful, three of the
four games played having been vic-
tories. Penn. alone has beaten us,
by the score of 11-4. Perkins, '06.
is our only representative on the
team this year, as Lamb, '06, is not
playing on account of his health.
Fall lacrosse practice has been go-
ing on in earnest, and several of the
brothers have been making a good
showing. Price, Lamb, O. L. Broom-
ell, Bastwick, Booth, Darlington and
D'Olier were members of the varsity
team which defeated Pennsylvania in
a practice game on October 27.
In the musical clubs this fall we
have Palmer, Price, Darlington and
D'Olier on the Glee Club and Palmer
and Booth on the Mandolin club. The
prospects are very bright in this line,
and we hope to have some good en-
tertainments.
The college has obtained the best
talent for the Lecture Course this
year, and it promises to be even more
successful than last year. The open-
ing lecture was delivered at October
18 by Rev. Newell D wight Hillis. His
subject was Oliver Cromwell, and
the talk was of exceptional interest.
The Athletic Association has erect-

The University opens with an enter-
ing class estimated at between eleven
and twelve hundred and in all the
University about twenty-eight hun-
dred. This Is about three hundred In
advance of the attendance of last
year. The entering class seems to be
a very strong one, having shown up
well in the two events in which they
have had a chance, the interclass
meet which they won with thirty-six
points, and on the football squad
where six or seven freshmen are play-
ing regular positions on the first team
and as many more are on the squad.
By report they also bring in many
star men for the basketball team
which, since it does not lose one of
last year's star team, should take a
position in inter-collegiate b&sketball
even in advance of that of last year.
Also report has it that the entering
class will materially strengthen the
baseball team in the Spring and many
responded to the call of Capt. Ruther-
ford a few days since. Our football
team seems to be the strongest we
have ever had as they have won all
the games played so far this year with
the exception of the Tale game. Over
three hundred students of the Uni-
versity attended the game held with
Hamilton college at Clinton and had
a most enjoyable time.
The Flour rush and Salt rush were
hold as usual and furnished the same
amusement to the spectators and the
same exhibition of class spirit as
heretofore, the former being won by
the freshmen and the latter by the
sophomores. The sophomore recep-
tion to the freshmen was held Sep-
tember 21 and the T. M. C. A. recep-
tion to all the University on Sep-
tember 23, both proving very enjoy-
able and successful, the social part
of the latter being under the direc-
tion of Rice, '07, chairman of the

At the time of this writing it has
only been four weeks since the term
commenced and affairs at Technology
are just getting in good running or-
der.
We start the year nineteen strong,
fifteen of this number living at the
house. This Is by far the largest
number with which we have started
the opening term for some time, and
needless to say we can afford to take
our time in selecting new men.
The entering class is smaller in
numbers than usual this year. How-
ever, four promising men have been
pledged so far.
Bros. Merryweather, '04, and Tow-
er, '06, are with us again, taking
graduate work.
Athletics, although always very
limited at Technology, are still fur-
ther handicapped by the loss of our
gymnasium. A new one Is in process
of construction, but is still several
months from completion.

Football Is now the all-absorbing
topic at the University and Toronto
is ably upholding her past record,
having won all three games so far
and being universally recognized as
the champions of the Canadian Inter-
collegiate Rugby Football union,
which now Includes Ottawa College
as well as McOlU and Queen's Uni-
versities. The second team has good
prospects of winning the Intermedi-
ate championship, but the Thirds
have been outclassed in their league.
Delta Upsilon is represented by Mc-
pherson, '07, who holds the position
of manager and acting captain and
plays a star game on the half line of
the first team. Toms, '07, is spare

ual number of prominent appoint-
ments this fall. Loudon, '05, was
elected by acclamation to the presi-
dency of the Engineering Society, the
most coveted honor in the School of
Science and one which has never be-
fore fallen to the lot of a fraternity
man on account of the strong antl-

All indications point to the mosc
successful year in the history of Delia
Upsilon in Toronto. The opening of
our University is later than at moat
American Universities and our rush-
ing methods are slower. So, as yet,
we have only initiated two men.
Still, we have five or six more ex-

With the opening of college in Sei^
tember the largeet entering class in
the history of the college was en-
rolled. The class contained much
good fraternity material, but our task
of filling the vacant places was by
no means an easy one. Besides the
loss by graduation, seven of the
brothers, who were expected back,
did not return to college. However,
by hard work and co-operation by the
remaining active members we pledg-
ed ten men, who, we believe, have ail
the qualification of typical Delta U*ri.
This year the much talked of Com-
mons Dining club is being given a
trial. All the men of the college aVft
brought together three times a day
and, while it is early for predictions,
the scheme bids fair to be a great in-
centive to college spirit.
The football outlook this year at
Tufts is very bright, the team having
won two games by large scores and
lost only to the strong West Point
team. Delta Upsilon is well repre-
sented with Smith, '06, as fullback;

The smoke of the rushing battle
has cleared and we are left with five
excellent freshmen for our share.
The battle at Union lasted longer than
usual and the fraternities have spent
more time in looking over the men.
It can be safely said that better men
have been taken in by the frats than
for some years past.
The college has the appearance of
a huge lumber yard and brick-kiln
Just now, owing to the erection of the
new Electrical Engineering labora-
tory and heating plant. We take
pleasure in recording the recent gift
of 1200,000, 1100,000 of which waa
given by Andrew Carnegie and the
remainder by the board of trustees.
This gift will be used in building an
Engineering building and to increase
the salary of professors in this de-
partment.
The student body has put up a new
set of bleachers and is now building
a fine skating rink. The number of
men which has entered here thia
fall from other colleges calls atten-
tion to our rapidly increasing impor-
tance as an engineering college.
Sigma Phi has been presented with
a new memorial window and a set of
mahogany dining room furniture.
We are now located comfortably in
our new home and extend a cordial
invitation to all the chapters to visit
us at any time. We have been hon-
ored by visits from Bro. Harry Reese,

The beginning of the one hundred
and twelfth college year at Williams
has shown numerous building im-
provements on the campus com-
pleted and others well under way.
Regular chapel services are now be-
ing held in the new Thompson mem-
orial chapel completel last year, and
the old chapel is being transformed
into a recitation hall. Morgan Hal?,
partially destroyed by fire a year ago,
lias been rebuilt, and, with West Col-
lege, is now the best dormitory on the
campus. Berkshire Quadrangle is in
course of construction, and, in addi-
tion to Berkshire Hall, to cost $80,-
OOO, extensions are being made to
South College, where there have been
interior improvements. A large swim-
ming tank is being constructed in La-
sell gymnasium, and the locker rooms
have been remodeled. A baseball
«age is being constructed on Weston
Field. The new Phi Delta Theta
chapter house is in course of con-
struction, and the Delta Psi and
Alpha Delta Phi fraternities have re-
modeled and improved their houses.
The entering class numbers but 146.
a decrease from last year. The col-
lege faculty now numbers 54, an in-
crease of 11 from last year.
The end of the rushing season
found us with six new men, a sopho-
more and five freshmen. We feel
that these new members will do much
to strengthen our chapter, and sev-
eral are already showing up well in
various college activities. The an-
nual initiation banquet was held at
the chapter house October 13. Guests
of the evening were Dr. J. Q. Brough-
ton, '89, president of the board of
fraternity trustees, Professor, Henry
D. Wild, '88, of the college faculty,
and Senator William A. Bums, '97,
of Pittsfield. At a meeting of the
board of fraternity trustees held the
same evening, consid)erable money
was voted for the re-painting of the
chapter house, and various interior
improvements. Bro. John H.
Burke, '84, was elected member of
the board to fill a vacancy caused by
the resignation of Bro. O. H.
Flint, '86. who has served faithfully
for several years.
Bros. Nomer, '06, and Cramer,
'07, made the college choir at the fall
trials, and Bro. Nomer is a mem-
ber of the double quartette of the
glee club.
Bro. Barlow, '06, was a member
of the committee to arrange for the
senior Hallowe'en celebration.
Bro. Nomer, '06, is vice-presi-
dent of the Adelphic Debating Union,
including Dartmouth, Welseyan and
Williams. He is vice-president of the
Philologian debating society, and cap-
tain of the Williams-Wesleyan de-
bating team.
Bros. Conover, '07, Cramer, '07,
and Bargfrede, '09, are playing sub-
stutite positions on the varsity eleven.
Bro. Williams, '09, is playing left

The prospects for the coming year
aeem very favorable, although the loss
of many old men will be felt. One
of the most vital questions of our
chapter at present is that of our new
house. During a recent meeting of
stockholders, held here, definite steps
were taken in regard to the buildiftg
of our new home within the coming
year.
Any interest taken by alumni in an
active chapter is helpful. At our an-
nual banquet held on the twenty-sec-
ond of this month we were honored
with the presence of nineteen ola
Wisconsin men. Michigan, Chicago
and Minnesota also were represented,
Chicago responding to a toast.
We have initiated four freshmen
and have three others pledged, Anson
WiUard, John W. Balch and Alonzo
B. Ordway, all of Marshalltown,
Iowa. Wiliard is out with very good
chances for making the freshmen
crew.
On the college publication we have
Hetzel, '06, business manager of
"The Sphinx," and Brown, '08, socie-
ty editor of "The Cardinal." On musi-
cal organizations, Parker, '06, is lead-
er of the Mandolin club, of which
Melcher, '08, is also a member;
Bryan, '08, is on the Glee club, and
Volkmann, '07, is on the University
band. Karrow, '08, is a member of
Athenae; Hetzel, '06, a member of
Hesperia, and Cole, '06, a member
of Philomathia. Cole and Volkmann
are members of the Commercial club.
Bishop, '06, is president of the Ca-
ducous, the Pre-medic society. Het-
zel, '06, and Johnson, '07, are mem-
bers of the junior and senior society.
Monastics. Hetzel is a member of
the senior honorary society. Iron
Cross, and is also vice-president of
the Edwin Booth Dramatic club.
Johnson is on the "Badger" board
and Volkmann is chairman of the
Junior Prom finance committee.
In interfraternity athletics our
prospects are very bright. We have
three of the last years winning four-
man relay team and also every one
of our winning six-man team of last
year. We have considerable good
material for baseball this year and
are expecting excellent results. Par-
ker, '06, is president of the inter-
fraternity baseball league. We ex-
pect Van Derzee, '08, to figure in the
broad Jump, and Barr, '08, in the
hurdles this year. Hetzel is sub. lef i
tackle on the football squad.
By the acquisition of our freshmen
this year we think we not only have
benefitted our chapter but the fra-
ternity at large and with their aid
we hope for a sucessful year.

OUR NEW CHAPTER AT ILLINOIS.
By William Clay Smoot, Northwestern, '07.
THE INSTALLATION.
"IXZELL, we put them through. Despite the unfavorable weather and
^ ^ the scarcity of old Delta U's the Illinois Chapter was installed in
fine style. Brother Thornton B. Penfield presided at the installation,
which was held at the Elks' Auditorium in Champaign. After the song of
renewal was sung and the invocation by Brother Wells, the cliairman in
his quiet but impressive manner administered the preliminary pledge to
/he brothers-elect.
Brother F. T. Hughes, Chicago, '06, in the absence of Brother Bes-
tor was called on to deliver the charge. His speech was no attempt at ora-
tory, but a plaint heart-to-heart talk on Delta Upsilon and its advantages.
In a concise and earnest manner he told of the side of Delta Upsilon now
opened for the first time to the new brothers — that of responsibility. He
brought out clearly tlie necessity of concerted effort in order to maintain
the high ideals of the fraternity.
When Brother Hughes concluded Brother Penfield proceeded with
the initiation ceremony and spoke the words that made the K K boys
members of Delta Upsilon. After a short admonition as to tlieir careful
keeping the charter and constitution were turned over to Brother Frost,
* the president of the Illinois Chapter. The pins were then placed on the
new members and the certificates presented, after which the Fraternity
ode was sung and the service concluded with general congratulations.
Then all gave the yells and throwing our coats over our shoulders,
went over to the Beardsley Hotel where the banquet had been prepared.
THE BANQUET.
T WISH I had adequate space and ability to tell you of the time we had
■* over tliere. In the center of the dining room was a great centerpiece
of yellow roses and living ferns draped with blue ribbons. The tables
were strewn with small flowers in the colors of the fraternity, making a
very pretty and original eflFect. We didn't waste much time, however, in
viewing the scene for we were all struck with one idea, namely to eat ; and
say, you missed it. We ate and we sang and then we reversed the order
88 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
and tried it all over again. And I mustn't forget the orchestra that played
the fraternity songs as often as we asked them and that wasn't a few.
When course after course had been brought until even Brother Wade
was satisfied, Brother Gray, Illinois, '04, acting as toastmaster, called us
to order and announced the first course of the intellectual feast in the per-
son of Brother F. E. Rightor, Illinois, '03, to whose determination and
ability of organization, the Illinois chapter probably owes her charter.
Responding to the toast "Illinois and the K K Qub," he told briefly the
early history of their organization struggles and triumphs. Qosing he
told of their joy in becoming members of Delta Upsilon and finally re-
marked amid the applause of his old K K brothers that *'if Delta Upsilon
remained as fine as K K had been it would be by far the finest buncli in
school."
The toastmaster then introduced Brother F. T. Hughes, Chicago, '06,
who spoke for a few moments on "Delta Upsilon In Illinois." After tell-
ing of the establishment of the older chapters in Illinois and of tlieir
growth he tendered the congratulations of the Chicago and Northwestern
chapters and welcomed the newest member into the state and fraternity.
Qosing Brother Hughes said : "And I see no reason why, with the North-
western and Chicago chapters, and our strong alumni association of three
hundred members, together with this our baby but sturdy chapter, wc can-
not put and keep Delta U. in Illinois in the lead."
Brother Newton A. Wells, Syraciise, 'yy, one of the men who has
been most influential in bringing Delta U. to Illinois spoke on "The
University of Illinois." He told us of its phenomenal growth and of its
even greater prospects for the future. Then in a well arranged alphabeti-
cal poem he told us of the personages and places connected with the Uni-
versity. He then started a whirlwind of enthusiasm by subscribing $100
towards a permanent sinking fund for the chapter and before this had
subsided $3,900 had been subscribed, all of which made some of the older
men look thoughtful and wonder if their own chapters would display such
enthusiasm and earnest desire for the welfare of Delta Upsilon as this, our
youngest chapter, had shown.
Brother Gray now introduced the real serious course of the evening,
Brother Penfield, who told us of the "Executive Council." He first con-
gratulated them in behalf of the Council and said tliey were happy in the
birth of this new baby in the family, one so lusty and vigorous and one
with such a bright future. He then complimented them on their hard
work and gave a timely warning against letting a desire to be prosperous
unbalance their judgment of men and he sought them to uphold rigorous-
ly and zealously, the standard upheld so successfully for so many years.
He then explained carefully and fully the position of the Executive Coun-
cil, its work, its hopes, its aims, its helping power and the need of co-
A SKETCH OF THE KK CLUB 89
operation for the successful termination of its plans. Concluding he said in
part "You are now caught up, keep striving. Don't let or make Delta
Upsilon carry you. We are all still racing. Our ideal is siill ahead. Your
goal should be the ultimate satisfaction of usefulncis and our usefulness
has been in the past in our motto, a square and manly deal for all. We feel
you are going to add strength to us and will require much of you, but are
confident you will line up to your opportunities, and that we will be proud
of you."
After this Brother Turner, Illinois, '03, gave a rendition of that
laughable piece "Schneider's Rhyme." Brother GDrrigan gave us tlie
dessert in the form of the niunerous telegrams and letters of congratula-
tions. As it was now in the wee, sma' hours of the morning we adjourned,
all smiling, the new men because of their emblems and their new standing
in general and we old men just simply from the joy of seeing so many
fine new Delta U's.
"Say, aren't you sorry you didn't go ?"

A SKETCH OF THE KK CLUB-
By W. H. Marsh, '05, and Edward Corrigan, '06.
AT THE University of Illinois during the year 1901-1902 a crowd of
some ten or a dozen fellows, close friends and congenial spirits,
were together much of the time, and though no rig^d organization existed,
there was a loyalty of spirit to one another seldom seen outside of frater-
90 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
nity groups. They called themselves by an eerie name now forgotten save
by a few ; meetings and social sessions were held, but there was no regu-
larity in their system. As an organized body they did notliing, so quite
naturally received no recognition as such.
Early the following year practically the same men met, and in order
to foster the friendship thus started, as well as to gain strength by united
effort, decided to organize under rigid rules. The constitution and ritual
were drafted setting forth insignia and rulings. The old name was dis-
carded as inappropriate and another cliosen to replace it; so September,
1902, dates the real birth of KK.
During this year we gave dances, smokers, banquets, etc., and
were a factor politically as shown by the way we appropriated the base-
ball managership and other offices we wanted. We had baseball manager,
ticket sellers, and gateman, a man on the Illio Board and Senior Ball
Committee besides several other minor offices. We talked national char-
ter somewhat, but only among ourselves. In fact our growth was ration-
al and steady. We did not spring up over night, obtain for tlie asking a
charter from a mushroom fraternity, get a bull pup and a meerscliaum
pipe, and assume an air of blas^ arrogance. We had been under organ-
ization two years before the public knew what we were striving for. All
through the year 1902-03 we were striving to strengthen ourselves in-
ternally, were perfecting the constitution and ritual, and were taking in
new and strong men. By this time we were recognized and reckoned on
as a strong body.
The year 1903- 1904 was full of interest to all KK's. We started a
clubhouse and made a success of it. We had men in athletics, in the Fac-
ulty, in literary pursuits, and in politics. We began to talk of our alumni.
At the beginning of the year 1903-04 the question of a charter from
a national fraternity came up again. E. R. Hayhurst, '03, was a personal
friend of some of the members of Delta Upsilon at Northwestern who
had expressed a desire to see a chapter of their fraternity at Illinois.
Stuebe, '03, also had friends in the fraternity. Hence, in looking over the
fraternity field these facts led us to examine Delta Upsilon with particular
interest, and the high standing and splendid principles of Delta Upsilon
caused the choice of this fraternity to be made.
This decision reached, an active campaign was begfun. Brother Hay-
hurst and Dr. Wade were sent to the New York convention to present a
formal petition for a charter. Our petition was held over and came up
again at the Chicago convention. Following the usual conservative policy
our petition was again held over for further consideration. We were dis-
appointed but not discouraged. We went on strengthening ourselves in
every possible way. A new house was arranged for and built according
to the plans of two of our alumni. Last fall about twenty old men re-
CHARTER MEMBERS OF THE ILLINOIS CHAPTER 91
turned, and we immediately began to prepare for the Utica Convention.
The rest is well known. Our period of waiting had been one of develop-
ment. We have gained our goal by perseverance and work. It came to
us only after much effort, and we therefore appreciate it all the more
highly.
This in short is the story of KK at Illinois. It has passed, and in
its stead is the Illinois Chapter of Delta Upsilon. KK has been erased
from our door, and a beautiful Delta Upsilon monogram has been put in
its place. Within our house, however, gathers the same group of men,
bums the same fraternal spirit of loyalty and justice, and exist the same
broad, op>en, manly principles that were KK and are now Delta Upsilon.

THE University of Illinois is situated in Champaign County in the
eastern central part of the state, betv^'een the cities of Champaign
and Urbana, and within the corporate limits of the latter. It is 128
miles south of Chicago, at the junction of the Illinois Central, the Big
Four, and the Wabash railroads. The country around is a rich and
prosperous argicultural region. The cities of Champaign and Urbana
have, together, a population of about 17,000.
The University was founded upon the national land grant Act of
1862. Its support, therefore, is derived from the interest on its land
endowment, from the national government, and other appropriations.
These sources give an annual income of about $537,000.
The grounds consist of 850 acres with 27 University buildings. The
estimated total value of University property is about $3,500,000.
In the matter of appropriations from the state legislature, our Uni-
versity has been most fortunate. In 190 1 the general appropriation was
an even million. In 1903 this amount was increased by $267,000, and
in 1905 the appropriation was $1,518,535.
To secure the location of the University several counties entered
into competition by proposing to donate to its use specified sums of money
or its equivalent. Champaign County offered a large brick building
in the suburbs of Urbana erected for a seminary, and almost completed,
about 1,000 acres of land, and $100,000 in county bonds. To this the
Illinois Central added $50,000 in freight.
The institution was incorporated February 27, 1867, under the name
of the Illinois Industrial University, and placed under the control of a
Board of Trustees, composed of the Governor, the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, and the President of the State Board of Agricul-
ture, as ex-officio members, and 28 citizens appointed by the governor.
In 1873 the Board of Trustees was reorganized, the number of
appointed members being reduced to nine, and the ex-officio members
to two, the Governor and the President of the State Board of Agriculture.
In 1887 a law was passed making membership elective at a general
state election, and restoring the State Superintendent as an ex-officio
member. There are, therefore, now three ex-officio members and nine
elective members. Since 1873 the President of the Board has been
94 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
chosen by the members from among their own number for a term of
one year.
The University was opened to students March 2, 1868. The number
of students enrolled at that time was about fifty and the Faculty con-
sisted of the Regent and tlirce professors. During the first term another
instructor was added and the number of students increased to yy, all
young men.
By a vote March 9, 1870, the Trustees admitted women as students.
During tlie year 1870-71, twenty- four availed themselves of this privilege.
Since that time thev have constituted from one-sixth to one-fifth of tlie
total number of students.
In 1877 th^ sXsXt legislature gave the University the power to confer
degrees and issue diplomas. Previous to that time certificates were given.
In 1885 the legislature changed the name of the institution to the
"University of Illinois." It also passed a bill transferring the Stite
laboratory of Natural History from the State Normal University to the
University of Illinois. This laboratory was created by law for the pur-
pose of making a natural history survey of the state, the results of which
would be published in a series of bulletins and reports, and for the allied
purpose of furnishing specimens illustrative of the flora and fauna of
the state to the public schools and to the state museums. A large amount
of material has been collected, and extended publications have been
made in both the forms mentioned above.
Other additions have been made as follows:
May I, 1896, the Chicago College of Pharmacy founded in 1859,
became the School of Pharmacy of the University of Illinois. It is
located at Michigan Boulevard and Twelfth Street, Qiicago.
The School of Law was added in 1896. This was changed to the
College of Law in 1900. At first it offered a two year course, but in 1897,
in order to conform with the requirements for admission to the bar, it
was made a three year course.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons located at 813 West Harri-
son Street, Chicago, became a part of the University in 1897. The same
year the State Library School was opened in connection with tlie Uni-
versity at Urbana.
In 1901 a School of Dentistry was opened in connection witli the
College of Medicine. This is also situated in Chicago.
On the whole, the history of the University has been one of steady
growth and advancement. From the humble beginning in 186S, when
fifty students enrolled, we have grown until now we number about 4,000.
Courses are offered in almost every branch of study except theology.
Our Faailty numbers 411 which gives an average of one instructor to
ten students.
THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 95
The entrance requirements have been raised, until now it requires
42 high school credits — a full four years' course — to gain admission to
the University.
Our campus is unsurpassed in the West. The buildings are prac-
tically all new, and well cared for. Of these the one which attracts die
most attention is the Library. It is built of brown stone, and faces a
sloping lawn which leads down to Green street, one of the main avenues
of the Twin Cities. Another new building is the Women's Building.
This is colonial in style and presents a very attractive appearance.
Engineering Hall, the Gymnasium, Shops, etc., are all new and well
equipped.
The fraternities represented here have strong organizations. In all
there are now thirteen national fraternities : Sigma Qii, Delta Tau Delta,
Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Thcta, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Gamma Delta,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Nu, Phi Kappa Sigma, Phi
Kappa Psi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Delta Upsilon. The local fraterni-
ties number four, Aztec, Pi Theta, Comus and Oax. Two of these Pi
Theta and Aztec, are petitioning national fraternities, namely, Alpha
Delta Phi, and Psi Upsilon. At present about fourteen per cent, of the
men are in fraternities.
Five sororities are represented. Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Beta Phi,
Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Chi Omega, and Chi Omega. A local body,
the Zeta Nu Club, is petitioning Delta Gamma.
The University of Illinois is still in its infancy. Our traditions are
not yet hallowed by age. We look to the future rather than to the past
But are we not justified in looking to the future of this great University?
Back of it stands the Great Prairie State of Illinois, whose people are
turning more and more to their state university. They are sparing no
expense to make this University a fitting educational center of a great
state. They are doing more than this. They are sending here what is
more precious than wealth, they are sending here their sons and daughters
to receive that training which will enable them to become noble and useful
citizens of this great commonwealth.
As I said we are lacking in tradition. Our "Fair Harvard" and our
"Old Nassau" are yet unwritten. In college spirit and loyalty to our
University, however, we are not lacking. To us the name "Illinois" is
sacred in a twofold sense. It stands for our state, which was well
named from "The River of Men." It also stands for our Alma Mater,
our University, whose memories and teachings we sliall always cherish.
"There are other skies as blue.
Still my heart is ever true.
To my own, my Illinois."
96 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
THE REAL FOUNDER OF ILLINOIS A DELTA U.
T N granting charters for chapters of Delta Upsilon in Ohio State Uni-
■* versity and the University of Illinois, the fraternity is taking a logical
step. Both of these universities are the result of the "Morrill Act" of
1862. Senator Justin S. Morrill, of Vermont, in 1862, introduced into
congress a bill providing that the United States donate to each state
an amount of scrip for public land aggregating 30,000 acres for each
senator and member of the house of representatives, to be used in the
endowment of institutions for higher learning. The bill was passed, and
as a result of the law many state universities were founded. Among these
were Illinois and Ohio State.
Senator Morrill was an honorary member of the Middlebury chapter.
He was president of the convention held at Middlebury in 1878, and
took an active interest in the fraternity.
FRATERNITY RELATIONS AT ILLINOIS
From the Phi Kappa Psi Shield,
PP RATERNITY relations are probably more cordial and pleasant
^ here than in any other institution in the West. The fraternity
houses are all close together and the fellows visit back and forth more
than a little, have dancing clubs together, play spirited fraternity base-
ball games, and have an excellent bowling league. Fraternity material
is so plentiful that tlie rushing season is comparatively tame, and thus the
largest chance of bitter fraternity feeling is minimized. The character-
istic of an Illinois fraternity man is that he knows how to treat other
fraternity men right, and he never lets an opportunity pass to do any-
thing he can for him. The selfish, narrow view of fraternity life is
almost an unknown factor, and every man works for the good of his
fellow, and for the "orange and blue.'
Our Emblems
Wearing the blue-and-gold, bearing it through life's journey.
Proudly as knight of old wore the guerdon of love in the tourney;
Holding the standard high bearing the gold and blue.
Justice and truth and the honor of youth are the emblems of Delta U.
May be sung to the air of choras of "Somebody Has My Heart."

CHARLES EVANS HUGHES A NATIONAL FIGURE.
NEWSPAPER COMMENT.
**nPHE biggest man in New York today is undoubtedly Charles E.
•*" Hughes." With these words the Boston Herald begins an article
which has the same words spread across the page as headlines. An outline
of Brother Hughes's life was given in a recent number of the Quarterly.
In this we quote from prominent newspapers showing public opinion
of the man who has probed the life insurance business to the very bottom
and caused the reorganization of the big New York companies and a
general housecleaning throughout the business.
THE BIGGEST BAAN IN NEW YORK.
From the Boston Herald.
np HE biggest man in New York today is undoubtedly Charles E.
^ Hughes. A year ago, outside the immediate circle of his friends
and business acquaintances, his name was scarcely known. Today he
is known to every insurance policyholder in this country and abroad as
the man who is mercilessly probing to the muddy bottom the insurance
scandals.
When, last August, it was announced that Charles E. Hughes and
James McKeene had been selected to conduct the legal work of the legis-
lative committee's investigation of the life insurance companies, New
York and the country at large asked, "Who is Hughes?"
The papers announced that he came from Glens Falls, was a graduate
of Brown, was for a few years professor of law at Cornell University,
and was then in practice in New York. That was all they knew of the
man. There was no inkling there that the man was gifted with a brain
that could master, and hold, that complex mass of figures brought out
day after day; that out of cliaos could bring order; who was impartial
but persistent — oh, how persistent! — who was apparently indefatigable.
One after another the great brains of tlie country have set themselves
against him, and have retired worsted. Day after day men have looked
and marvelled at the man who has met them clearly, coolly, doggedly,
with energy undiminished. He has established a high-water mark for
the art of cross-examination.
The task he set for himself was a tremendous one. He resovlcd to
do away with the skilled accountants at the start, and trust entirely to
his own examination of the accounts. He subpoenaed full statements of
all the syndicate and "joint account*' transactions during the last lo years
of the companies to be examined, and over these he set himself, to spend
hours of time.
98 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
He studied these formal records night after night, and primed witfi
facts, he began on his witnesses. What he wanted was more facts. Given
a certain transaction, he wished to follow it from the beginning to the end.
And he had a tortutous path to follow, one that would have bothered the
most skilled accountant.
But hour after hour he stood before the magnates of Wall street,
and put to them an endless stream of unimpassioned questions. He did
not ask them why they did this or that, but just what they did. Relent-
lessly, quietly, he pounded away, and, whatever was brought out, went
on serenely, leaving the witness unable to tell whether he had been scored
against or not.
He never forgets, never becomes confused, never becomes ruffled.
He appears as cold-blooded as the logic he uses. He reduces everything
to facts — to mathematical certainties.
*nrHERE IS NO WIZARDRY IN IT.^
From an editorial in McClure's Magazine.
T T is not often that this country is treated to a more brilliant and stimu-
'■' lating intellectual performance than that of Lawyer Hughes of New
York City — ripping the lid off the three great Life Insurance companies in
his state. As for the eflFectiveness of his work, it is not too mudi to say
that if it ceased now and no legislative action followed, Mr. Hughes
would have rendered the country substantial and lasting service.
To begin with, it is no small thing to have rehabilitated the legislative
inquiry as an effective method of obtaining information to which the
people have a right and which they need in order to make proper laws.
* * * It has been much oftener ignorance and mental incapacity than
bad faith, which has crippled our legislative inquiries. Mr. Hughes
has demonstrated brilliantly how much useful information an examiner
can secure if he knows what questions to ask.
Now the ability to ask telling questions does not come from intuition,
from cleverness, from enthusiasm for a cause. It comes from knowledge
of the subject. It is clear that in the present case Mr. Hughes, before
he began to ask questions, knew what there was to know and from this
vantage point began his search for information. Every question answered
necessarily opened fresh avenues of inquiry. He has not only known
what to ask, he has had the wisdom to stop his examination when necessary
to digest his new information, to correlate it and so to come at his wit-
nesses from entirely new and unexpected quarters. The public, watching
him day after day steadily draw out information which it was supposed
could not be extracted, has cried out: "This man is a wizard." Mr.
Hughes well replied in a public letter the other day, "Whatever success
has been gained is the result of unremitting toil and individual atten-
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES A NATIONAL FIGURE 99
tion. There is no wizardry in it." Mr. Hughes's colle^ues at the New
York bar have been making the same answer for him. Indeed, tliey
show no surprise at the unusual quality of his work. "That's the way
Hug:hes always has done things," they say. "He is the real thing. He
is an indefatigable worker. He always has been. He gets at the vitals
of a subject — never dallying with unnecessary detjuls. He has a passion
for mathematics, too — knows what figures mean and how to combine
and compare them. When the insurance investigation began, the com-
panies rained down volumes of figures on him. The accountants sent
KEEPING THE POT BOILINa
to assist said it was impossible to master the figures in the time at his
disposal, but Mr. Hughes knew what figures were significant for his
purpose. He sent the accountants after those. He did not content him-
self with finding out isolated figures, he sought to correlate figures; he
did not keep his information concerning each company separate, he com-
pared the companies; but nobody who knows Hughes is surprised. This
is the way he always goes at things."
But Mr. Hughes has brought something more than trained brains
and a genius for hard work to the insurance investigation. He has
brought to it a lofty idea of the importance and the dignity of his task
and a very solemn sense of his own responsibility. In October he was
74452SA
100 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
offered by the Republican party the candidacy for Mayor of the City
of New York — an offer splendid enough to shake most men's sense of
proportion and of duty — particularly when presented as a duty. Mr.
Hughes put the offer aside. "In my judgment," he said in his letter of
declination, "I have no right to accept the nomination. A paramount
public duty forbids it."
A striking feature of the inquiry has been Mr, Hughes's fairness.
He has not gone on the theory that the examiner is an inquisitor, and
that he is free to bully, to confuse and to sneer at witnesses. He has
given them every opportunity to present their side, freely accepting their
written statements — taking all information they offered — giving it full
consideration. * * * The insurance representatives have had a square
deal — whatever odium has come upon them is the odium of the truth
they could not conceal. At the same time the social position, the wealth,
the reputation of the witness has never effected the rigor of the
examination.
This self-control — this indifference to personalities has not sprung
from coldness of temperament. The press has pictured him as a pale
and passionless individual, well advanced in years, witli cold, gray eyes
and an inquisitor's mien, but he is anything but that. He is young for
his work — forty-three years of age — there is red in his skin, there is
fullness of lip and a blaze in his eye, even in its quietest phases which
show him to be a man of fire and enthusiasm, and so his friends will
tell you he is. His great passion has been for the law. * * * A
man of such sentiments does not show the reserve and imperturbability
Mr. Hughes has displayed in tlie insurance investigation from any lack
of fire and sympathy. He is cool because it is his duty to keep his head ;
indifferent to the trying position of his witnesses because he is after
information; and not a little too, because his democracy is too real to be
troubled by wealth and position.
The education the public is getting out of the insurance examination
is similar to what it got out of Mr. Hughes's examination of the Con-
solidated Gas Company last spring — the examination which first turned
public attention to him as a man of unusual intelligence and firmness,
whom it was quite impossible to dazzle, bewilder or evade when he once
had taken up a subject.
As for thetonic effect of the inquiry it is already enormous. It
has already driven home to thousands of young men who are, perhaps,
standing at the very door of a compromise with honor, the almost inevit-
able public disgrace which awaits the man who plays with compromise,
demonstrating again with fearful emphasis the fact that there is ho
punishment so terrible as public disclosure of evil doing. Quite as
important, too, is the tonic effect of the revelation of a man like Mr.
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES A NATIONAL FIGURE loi
Hughes, willing to give unreservedly of his power to a public cause,
and, for the sake of prosecuting to the end, refusing one of the great
honors of public life in the United States.
HIS CHARACTEEUSnCS-CLEAR, CLEAN, COURAGEOUS.
From the Brooklyn Eagle,
A remarkable mental trait of Mr. Hughes is his clearness — ^his lucidity
— his perspicacity. His is a vigorous mind, quick in its compre-
hension, firm in its grasp, rapid in its operation, well stored with learning,
and so disciplined in its training tliat it is the obedient servant of his will.
It is alive and alert.
It is quite clear, too, thst he measures all effort by the results
obtained. To obtain results is to succeed; not to, is to fail. To fail is
intolerable. He is ambitious, but for personal achievement, not for per-
sonal aggrandizement. Nor has he political ambitions, as is well attested
in his prompt declination of the mayoralty nomination. He is far from
being indifferent to popular applause, but he would rather have his own
applause, which is rarely bestowed, because he is his own severe critic.
He does not take himself too seriously, though he is serious minded.
When it is said that his sense of humor is keen and that of the
ludicrous active, there seems to be an inconsistency. But there is not
That Mr. Hughes is a moral man in the sense of clean living, clean
thinking and scrupulous regard for the rights of others is manifest The
man is_honest, aggressively, even pugnaciously, honest He is of cour-
ageous spirit and utterly fearless in following what he believes to be
the promptings of his duty. Malice seems to be out of his composition.
Revenge is not a motive power to action — love of truth is a passion.
And truth in his outlook is the thing that should be revealed, no matter
what the consequences.
HOW HUGHES DECLINED THE NOBIHNATION FOR MAYOR*
From his letter of declination.
TN my judgment, I have no right to accept the nomination. A para-
"■• mount public duty forbids it
It is not necessary to enlarge upon the importance of the insurance
investigation. That is undisputed. It is dealing with questions vital to
the interests of millions of our fellow-dtizens throughout the land. It
presents an opportunity for public service second to none and involves a
co-relative responsibility. I liave devoted myself unreservedly to this
work. It commands all my energies. It is imperative that I continue
in it You have frankly recognized that it must continue unembarrassed
and with unimpaired efficiency. But it is entirely clear to me that this
cannot be done if I accept the nomination.
I02 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
You know how desirous I have been that the investigation should
not be colored by any suggestion of political motive. Whatever confi-
dence it has inspired has been due to absolute independence of political
consideration.
It is not sufficient to say that an acceptance of this nomination, com-
ing to me unsought, despite an unequivocal statement of my position,
would not deflect my course by a hair's breadth, and that I should remain,
and that you intend that I should remain entirely untrammeled. The
non-political character of the investigation and its freedom from bias,
either fear or favor, not only must exist, they must be recognized. I
cannot permit them, by action of mine, to become matters of debate.
MONEY GETTING AND SUCCESS.
From the Chicago News.
/^HARLES E. HUGHES, the lawyer who has been conducting the
^^ investigation into the big New York life insurance companies, has
had as intimate a view of business corruption in high places, perhaps, as it
has been any man's lot to witness. The lessons he has drawn from this
unusual and highly instructive experience, therefore, have a peculiar
value and are well worth noting. Speaking the other evening at tlie
dinner of an alumni association he said:
"What we need is a revival of the army of honor. We want to
hear less of the man who began poor and amassed riches and more about
the man who lived unsullied, tliough he died poor. We want to change
the burden of proof. Let every man who has amassed wealth or gained
office be ready to show a clear balance sheet, if he has got it.
"We want a baptism of self-respect, so we can stand erect in the
presence of the almighty dollar."
• No one will charge Mr. Hughes with being a mere idealist. His
searching questions during the life insurance investigation have shown
him to be a hard-headed man, whose views of life are sternly practical
and with whom sentiment is always guided and controlled by reason.
He himself, indeed, might be looked upon as a type of "successful man."
And the fact that such a man raises a warning against the widespread
and insatiable ambition which has for its object the amassing of riches
is therefore especially significant.
A MAN OF TODAY.
From the Boston Transcript,
'Tp HE counsel for the Armstrong committee now. investigating life in-
-■" surance in New York, Mr. Charles E. Hughes, has become a figure
of national prominence. He subtends an unusually large angle of public
interest. He has not acquired the largeness of distinction through any
sensational methods, through any accident of fortune, for we do not
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES A NATIONAL FIGURE 103
believe that it was an accident so much as an inspiration that called him
to the great service that he is now rendering the American people.
Modesty has been the diaracteristic of his methods. He undertook
a task of the magnitude and delicacy of which few men, even among
those who have followed closely the ordering of his work, have any
adequate conception. Perhaps he did not himself realize how formidable
was the under^Jdng in which he was engaged until he found himself in
medias res. But he has not recoiled from any difficulties nor shrunk
from any responsibilities. It has doubtless been a good thing for him
as well as for the public It is a kind of work that adds to the growth
of the men engaged in it, whether it is Folk in Missouri, Weaver in
Philadelphia, or Jerome or Hughes in New York. The forces of evil
are fair game and those who have the knightly qualities to conduct an
effective crusade against them are themselves broadened, quickened, and
ennobled by the exercise. Men have to wait for opportunities sometimes
before they can take the true measure even of themselves, and in this
case the public has learned it as soon as Mr. Hughes himself.
He is a man of whom the public would like to know much more than
it does, and so his appearance at a dinner of the University of Rochester
alumni had special interest for those who attended, and even for
the less favored who through the reports of the exercises were able to
get fleeting notes of what was said around the mahogany. In his
remarks he guarded well his professional line of procedure. He was not
betrayed into any impropriety of utterance, but he did venture to discuss
some fundamental principles, the observance of which by the men who
have had to meet his searching questioning would have made the sensa-
tional developments of the last few months unnecessary and impossible.
"I believe," said Mr. Hughes, "in the soundness of American life,
and yet I know we need an illumination of vision to see the multitude
who will not bow the knee to greed, nor betray a trust, nor falter in the
presence of an opportunity for evil. This is a time for a searching of
hearts ; a time for repentance and resolve, when we need a revival of the
sense of honor and a better perspective. * ♦ It is a time when we want
more chivalry, more of the spirit of knighthood, that ♦ ♦ * feels
a stain like a wound." And he added : "College men are the very ones
to whom we ought to look for men who will never mistake true man-
hood." And this man who stands at the focus of the rays in the white
light that has been shrinking and withering reputations, was once a
college professor, and never has found another service that pleased him
so well. But ♦ * ♦ scores of men have forfeited the confidence and
respect that they enjoyed a year ago, because of his clear, logfical, unflinch-
ing probing of their business records, whereby he has condemned them
out of their own mouths.
EDITORIAL.
"^TEVER in the history of Delta Upsilon has a chapter been bom into
our brotherhood under more auspicious circumstances than the oc-
casion of the initiation and installation of the Illinois Chapter. True to her
principles, Delta Upsilon has been exceedingly conservative in the granting
of charters in late years. Our brethren in the University of Illinois have
worked long and hard to qualify themselves for admission to the frater-
nity. Patiently and persistently they have filed their applications with suc-
* ceeding Conventions and at last tlie record of their acliievements, their
position in the University, and their financial and social condition was
such that no one in Convention could pick a flaw. The delegation who
appeared at the recent Convention of Delta Upsilon and made these points
perfectly clear, and Brother Corrigan in an impassioned appeal captured
the hearts of all voting delegates, as recorded in the last issue. Illinois
came into the fraternity amid the hearty congratulations and warm wel-
comes of all the chapters and a host of the alumni.
We may well be proud of the baby chapter with her splendid band
of earnest, thoughtful, far-sighted leaders who command the respect and
admiration of the student body in the University of Illiilois ; with one of
the handsomest houses that any chapter in our fraternity can boast ; with
the unexcelled opportunity for future power and usefulness. Our brothers
in Illinois are certainly to be congratulated, and even more than they,
our fraternity is to be congratulated upon tliis addition to our brotherhood ;
but in the midst of our congratulations let us remind ourselves that this
is not the end of the way but only the beginning.
Membership in Delta Upsilon has always meant qualification for
service. Our fraternity stands for usefulness in the world. We believe
we have one object in view and in the attainment of that object there is
work for every member of the fraternity. We predict a place of useful-
ness and power for the Illinois chapter, and in that inspiring prospect is
there not a share for each chapter of the fraternity. Shall we not individu-
ally and severally buckle down to the year's work with a new encourage-
ment and new feeling of power and strength and new grounds for success
which will not mean selfish aggrandisement but a greater influence for
good in college or university and a preparation for a larger usefulness that
awaits us in the world of work and achievement.
PpOR the first time in the fraternity's history more than a third of
^ our living chapters are located in the West The advent of Illinois
is not more the occasion for congratulation than for reflection. It is at
once the seal and confirmation of the fact that Delta Upsilon has ceased
to be sectional.
EDITORIAL 105
We knew it before but there may be present need that we emphasize
it Thirteen of our thirty-seven chapters now lie west of the Pennsyl-
vania border. Not one new chapter has been established in the New
England or Middle States since Swarthmore in 1894. All have been
Canadian or Western chapters. Stanford, California, McGill, Nebraska,
Toronto, Chicago, Ohio State, Illinois, an impressive octet We have
today in the West more chapters than any other fraternity of eastern
origin.
This western trend of our growth inspires in the fraternity (and
partiailarly among its eastern members) no fear, no anxiety, nothing but
pride. It has too long been the common characteristic of eastern fra-
ternities to sneer at western petitions and resolve with Pecksniffian solem-
nity that the East was tlie place for them. If this spirit still remains
as a cardinal principle of eastern fraternities, then Delta Upsilon ceased
to be an eastern fraternity thirty-seven years ago.
The western movement of Delta Upsilon has progressed naturally
without forcing. When there has been hesitation it has oftencr been in
the West than in the East The true catholic spirit has been shown, a
spirit that makes for strong enduring plans in any organization. The
question about any petitioning body has been not "where" but "what"
We have asked, have the petitioners sought us in sincerity, do they know
they want us, are they in dead earnest, do they meet our reasonable
requirements. These are the vital matters in comparison with which
location, east or west, nortli or south, is of absolutely no consequence.
A Delta Upsilon conference at Chautauqua is under consideration by
the Executive Council. Plans are still hazy but will probably be
ready to announce in the June issue of the Quarterly, should tlie event
prove as practicable as it seems desirable. If the conference is held, the
time will be the last of August when a prominent member of the fra-
ternity will speak before the Assembly one afternoon. The conference
is likely to center round a meeting of the Executive Council, but fra-
ternity business will be a comparatively small part of the gathering, which
will have for its chief aim the fostering of fraternal ties in a more intimate
way than is possible at our busy conventions. The hiring of one or
more boarding houses exclusively for members of the fraternity for the
conference period is among the possibilities and all the usual attractions
of this famous summer resort will be available. No pleasanter place for
spending part or the whole of a vacation can be found.
T T is comparatively easy to preach on the theme of the Kenyon fraternity
^ hazing tragedy. Several fraternity magazines have already delivered
sermons on the subject. We think the lesson for Delta Upsilon very
io6 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
simple. The death of the young freshman serves to clinch and rivet
the recommendations of the Internal Development Committee against
horse play. That any initiation tomfoolery in public is contrary to the
spirit and life of the fraternity goes without saying. To have "fun"
with an initiate in chapter hall is not much more defensible and not at
all so when humiliation is involved. To the few cliapters of Delta
Upsilon that use horse-play even though not on the initiation night, we
say — cut off this excrescence on the chapter life. If the freshmen need
to be taught their "place," there is another way to teach them. But
let their entrance into the fraternity be made with digniy, befitting a new
relation which will last far beyond the few years of college life.
A WORD to the chapters. Did you read the editorial "The Campaign
for Subscribers" in the last issue? Evidently not. Did your sen-
ior convention delegate do his duty last fall by having a man appointed to
take up your part in this campaign? Apparently not. He was requested
to see personally that this was done. What are the results ? The follow-
ing chapters have reported to Brother Wetherell for duty: IViscotisin,
Tufts, Middlebury, New York, Amherst, Syracuse and Union— eight in
all ; less than 25 per cent.
This work is being done to carry out the plans of the Internal De-
velopment committee appointed by Convention. It is not being taken up
by the chapters as it should be — as it must be if the Quarterly is to g^ow
and be of any real use to the fraternity.
Since convention, 129 new subscribers have been added to the list
Of this number 51 were secured by five chapters reporting to Brother
Wetherell. If the twenty-nine chapters that have not yet responded to this
call, and the three whose reports are not in yet, should produce the same
average results, it would mean 320 more, and additions from other sources
would bring the total up to 500. Not that we must stop there. We must
keep it up. But in view of the discouraging response of tlie chapters, our
optimism is fast waning. Do you care anything about it ?
Delta Upsilon's list of Rhodes Scholars is still growing. With five
in 1904 we had two more than any other fraternity, irrespective of the
comparative number of chapters. We reported six in 1905, and have just
learned that Brother R. E. Bates, Harvard, '05 was appointed from Nova
Scotia, making seven for last year. And now comes word that Toronto
Delta U. has again captured the honor. Brother R. C. Reade, Toronto, '05,
having been appointed this year. The reports of the Delta Upsilon club of
Oxford University will make interesting reading.

VERMONT NEXT?
Brothers B. L. Stafford, Middlebury, '01, and Rediield Proctor, Jr.,
Technology, '02, are organizing a Delta Upsilon Club of Vermont, the
immediate aim of which is to secure a good attendance of local alumni
at the Middlebury Convention. The Quarterly hopes to have a good
report of the organization in the June issue.
THE MONTREAL DELTA UPSILON ALUMNI CLUB.
The first annual meeting of the club was held in the McGill Chapter
House on December 2nd, 1905, and the reports submitted were found
very satisfactory. During the year, ten meetings were held, at which the
attendance ranged from five to eleven. Six of the meetings were of the
regular business nature, and four were special : One in January on the
occasion of the annual banquet of the active chapter; another in April
when a banquet was tendered to one of our members ; the third in Sep-
tember when a smoking concert was given by the Alumni club to the
active chapter, and the fourth was the annual meeting.
io8 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
The membership was composed of twenty resident, and twenty non-
resident members. Four resident members were lost during the year
through removal from Montreal, and two new ones were acquired.
Financially the receipts were $81.95, and disbursements $70.55, leav-
ing a balance of $11.40 with which to commence the new year. Twenty
dollars was paid to the active chapter for use of rooms for meeting pur-
poses, and $28 to the Delta Upsilon Quarterly for subscriptions. Form-
al recognition of the club has been obtained from the Delta Upsilon Fra-
ternity, and everything appears bright for another good year. The officers
for this year are : President, J. W. Thomas ; First Vice President, Rev.
John McKay ; Second Vice President, A. R. McMaster ; Secretary-Treas-
urer, Dr. W. A. Wilkins.
COLUMBIA ALUMNI ASSCX3ATION OF DELTA UPSILON.
The association held its annual meeting for election of officers on
December 11, 1905. Brother O. B. Smith, Jr., declined a re-election and
Brother Herbert D. Brown, '95, was unanimously elected to the presi-
dency. His first announcement was that a motion to adjourn was in order,
whereupon Brother "Doc" Gould called upon Brother "Pat" to disgorge
some information about the chapter house scheme. Brother Patterson
produced several trump cards from his sleeve and it developed that he
had been assisted by Bob Mathews, also a legal light.
Following the line of Investigator Hughes, "Doc" Gould demanded
facts, and got them, with the result that his aid in lifting the lid was
secured. With two lawyers to secure the victim for "Doc" to operate on
there is no doubt but tliat large, cancerous growths of real money will be
found and removed. With that accomplished the chapter house plan,
which has been suffering from arrested gfrowth, will resume normal de-
velopment.
The greatest enthusiasm of the evening was evoked by Brother
Charles L. Eidlitz's declaration that he would turn a large gold brick into
the "real stuff."
The investigation of the committee was attended by Brothers L. D.
White, '87; Charles L. Eidlitz, '88; John Patterson, '92; William Van
Valzah Hayes, '93 ; H. J. Shaw, '94 ; H. D. Brown, '95 ; Jos. Van Vleck,

'04, and F. C. Rawolle, '05.
THE DELTA UPSILON CLUB OF NEW YORK.
The annual meeting of the Delta Upsilon Gub of New York was
held at the University of Pennsylvania Gub, 124 West Forty-seventh
THE ALUMNI CLUBS 109
street, on Tuesday evening, December 19, 1905. About 100 brothers were
present, and the meeting was marked by enthusiasm and festivity of the
real Delta Upsilon brand. The chief business of the evening, the election
of officers for the ensuing year, was soon disposed of, with the following
result :
President, Erman J. Ridgway, Northwestern, '91 ; Vice-President,
Hon. E. M. Bassett, Amherst, '84; Secretary, William J. Norton, Cornell,
'02; Treasurer, Edgar S. Bloom, Pennsylvania, '95; Historian, Arthur
C. Perry, New York, '92.
Executive Committee : W. H. Van Steenburgh, Rutgers, 'yy ; C. L.
Eidlitz, Columbia, '88; F. M. Crossett, New York, '84; C. P. Blaney,
Harvard, '90; J. B. Richardson, Williams, '00.
The meeting had a special significance in that it was held on the
fortieth anniversary of the founding of the New York Chapter, so that
Brother Ridgway, who occupied the chair and acted as toastmaster with
his customary graceful wit, called particularly upon New York men for
impromptu recitals of chapter reminiscense. Brother William L. Ludlum,
'68, one of the three charter members present, told of the founding of
the chapter and of the early struggles. Brother Charles E. Lillis, '07,
captain of the New York University baseball team, reported on the
present day activities of the chapter, announcing an active membership of
thirty-three, and inviting all present to visit the chapter house on the
Heights and "see for themselves." Brother Charles L. Eidlitz, Columbia,
'88, whom the president introduced as "New York, '47," gave one of
his vividly himiorous speeches and pledged his energy to service on
the Executive committee, to which he had just been elected. Brother
Frederick M. Crossett, '84, responded to "New York Chapter in Fra-
ternity History," and read interesting letters from Bishop Henry Spell-
meyer, D. D., I.L. D., '66, a charter member, and Dr. Otis J. Eddy,
Hamilton, '68, of Washington, D. C, a member of tlie committee wh:ch
installed the New York chapter. The Rev. John Love, D. D., '68, a
charter member, read a poem in commemoration of the anniversary, in
which the scenes of the early days of the chapter, when the Fraternity
was in its anti-secrecy mood, were brought forward in poetic imagery,
and beautiful tributes were paid in graceful verse to the brothers who
have "gone before."
Musical treats were provided by Brothers Beviere and Potter, of
the Rutgers chapter, who played several violin selections, and by Brothers
Hill, Van Home and Wilson of the New York chapter, who, with the
assistance of the hearty chorus of graduate-members, sang many fra-
ternity and college songs in spirited fashion.
The more material wants were filled by an unfailing supply of cigars,
and a supper served by Mazzeti, which was enjoyed by the following:

CHESAPEAKE DELTA UFSDLON CLUB.
The Chesapeake Delta Upsilon Qub held a smoker in the parlors
of the Hopkins Qub, Baltimore, on the evening of February 2nd, 1906.
THE ALUMNI CLUBS. 1 1 1
It was the occasion of the annual business meeting. For the benefit of
the men present for the first time, E. L. Norton, Cornell, 'oi, told of the
forming of the club, its objects, and history to the present time.
In choosing a name of the Qub, that of "Chesapeake" had been sel-
ected because it was hoped ultimately to embrace in the organization as
much as possible of the Chesapeake repon. With this in view, the idea
was discussed at length of holding the Annual Dinner this year in Wash-
ington to create an interest in the club among Delta U's there, of whom
we believe there are many. Final decision of the matter was left to
the Board of Governors. Election of officers resulted in the following:
President — L. O. Howard, Cornell, ^JJ.
Vice-President — George C. Shepard, Cornell, '89.
Secretary-Treasurer — Robert H. Walker, Swarthmore, '02.
Board of Governors — Aldus N. Hershey, Lafayette, '93 ; Eugene L.
Norton, Cornell, '01 ; T. Stockton Matthews, Swarthmore, '02.
A cold spread and the smoker proper followed. Stories passed and
incidents of varying character were recited, — certainly to the extreme
enjo}'ment of all, and in instances at least, to the enrichment of the mind
as well! Brother R. Keith Culver, Cartoonist for the Baltimore Ameri-
can, favored us with his now famous bit of true humor, "Account of an
Italian's Experience at a Football Game."
Though the Qub has increased materially in membership since a
year ago, only nineteen men found it possible to attend.
It is customary at each gathering of the Qub to take count in a
wholesome rivalry regarding the number of men present from each
chapter. The result on this occasion was :
Stanford 3 — R. P. Cowles, '99; R. K. Culver, '99; H. L. Lang-
necker, '01.
Cornell 3 — S. B. Austin, '95; George C. Shepard, '89; E. L.
Norton, '01.
Swarthmore 3 — G. M. Lamb, Jr., '00; T. S. Matthews, '02; R. H.

BUFFALO DELTA UPSILON CLUB.
The annual banquet of the Buffalo Delta Upsilon Qub was held at
the University Qub, Buffalo, N. Y., Monday evening, February 12. The
private dining room was tastefully decorated, and the party just filled the
space around the long table. These members were present :
112 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
Dr. A. L. Benedict, Michigan, '87; Rev. O. P. Gifford, Brown, ^74;
Dr. William N. D. Bird, Cornell, '80 ; Howard J. Smith, Rochester, '93 ;
Thomas H. Noonan, Middlebury, '91 ; Charles M. Harrington, Harvard,
'85; William F. Strasmer, Rochester, '81; A. G. Miller, Colgate, '74;
Edward H. Letchwortli, Harvard, '02 ; Samuel B. Botsford, Middlebury,
'00; C DeForrest Cummings, Syracuse, '02; Moses T. Day, Amherst,
ex-'9S; Dr. Charles Sumner Jones, Cornell, '84; Charles W. Under-
wood, Lehigh, '94 ; Harry J. March, Rutgers, '87 ; C. S. Qiamberlain,
Rutgers, '93 ; Donald P. Hurlburt, Middlebury, '99 ; and F. N. Moulton,
Union, '86.
The occasion was characterized by the informality which is the pe-
culiar charm of these gatherings; most of those present were well ac-
quainted, • being frequent visitors at the University Qub. President
Charles W. Underwood presided. The Rev. O. P. Gifford was the princi-
pal speaker, and his wholly impromptu talk was in the best style of this
gifted brother who has so frequently addressed the national conventions
of the fraternity. At the instance of Moses T. Day, a toast to LincoUi^
whose birthday it was, was drunk standing and in silence. Brotlier Bots-
ford urged every member of the club to attend the annual convention,
which is to be held at Middleburg next year, and gave some idea of the
plans for that event. Brother Noonan, who is vice-president of the
fraternity, spoke, giving some account of the Hamilton convention, which
he attended, and Brother Letchworth spoke eloquently on the needs of
alumni for retaining the fraternal spirit and some plans for ensuring this.
Various other brothers also contributed to the speaking. The singing of
the old songs was the most enthusiastic the club has ever had.
The officers elected for the coming year were : Dr. Charles Sumner
Jones, Cornell, '84, president ; Charles M. Harrington, Harvard, '85, vice-
president, and Samuel B. Botsford, Middlebury, '00, secretary-treasurer.
A resolution was passed declaring for a continuation of the monthly
luncheons and the annual dinner. Dr. Jones advocated a larger dinner,
with some out-of-town speaker, and Brother Noonan called the attention
of the brothers to the need of subscribing for tlie Quarterly.
DELTA UPSILON CLUB OF OXFORD UNIVERSITY.
The accompanying picture of the Delta U. Qub of Oxford lacks
one member. Brother Roy Elliot Bates, Harvard, '05, Rhodes scholar
from Nova Scotia, now at Merton College, who has not been reported
before in the Quarterly. He makes the seventh 1905 Rhodes scholar
for Delta Upsilon, making twelve for 1904 and 1905. Secretary Ralph
H. Bevan writes :
"The club held its dinner on November 28, 1905, and it proved a
most delightful occasion. Brotliers Schutt, Bevan, Paterson, Cronkhite,

Moran and Thayer made speeches and Brother Crittenden acted as toast-
master. It was, unfortunately, necessary to omit the songs, lest the
Proctor be attratced to the scene of the festivities."

INIXANA DELTA UPSDUCm CLUB.
The Qub held its regular annual banquet at the Denison Hotel, In-
dianapolis, Friday evening, February 2nd. It was the best attended and
probably the most enthusiastic and most enjoyable of all the Qub's annual
dinners. An elaborate menu was served after which the following toasts
were responded to on call of the toastmaster, Edward B. Raub, DePauw,,
94:
'Character and Delta Upsilon," F. W. Douglass, Browfi, '81.
'An Experience," J. T. Eaglesfield, Michigan, '80.
'Forty Years Ago," C H. Smith, Washington and Jefferson, '66.
The Chapter House," Frank Caldwell, DcPauw, '92.
The Undergraduate," J. Sanford Rickard, DcPauw, '08.
The set toasts were followed by a number of impromptu speeches in-
terspersed with yells and songs.
Brothers E. B. Raub, Frank Caldwell and Jesse Dwight Sallee of the
DePauw Chapter House Committee reported that the DePauw Chapter
IS now comfortably housed in its new quarters. The interest taken in the
movement by the alumni on the occasion of the banquet, and previously,
assures the ultimate success of that venture. Delta U's generally through-
out the State of Indiana whether of the DePauw Chapter or others have
taken great interest in establishing Delta Upsilon in a home of its own.
All feel that this is already an accomplished fact and that unless existing
plans entirely miscarry the Qiapter will soon be the owner of a valuable
property entirely free from debt. At least it will be so after another night

THE FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING
OF THE COLGATE CHAPTER
By a Colgate Undergraduate.
The horn of plenty has been opened wide above the Colgate Chapter
m recent days. First: the annual initiation with unusual promise for
the future; then the Convention attended by the entire Chapter at the
various sessions. Next, the privilege of entertaining a number of the
delegates at the close of the Convention and as a climax, the inspiring
observance of the Fortieth Anniversary of the Founding of the Colgate
Chapter on November 21, 1905. It is not surprising that fraternity
enthusiasm has bubbled up and run over like a living spring in our midst
The afternoon of the anniversary the Chapter greeted the alumni in
our beautiful chapter home and in the evening fifty-five undergraduates
and graduates sat down at a banquet carefully planned and admirably
conducted. The key note of this celebration seemed to be "prosperity."
The history of the past with its story of struggle, of ambition and of
achievement distinctly led up to the word "prosperity" and the promise
FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF COLGATE CHAPTER 115
of the future as evidenced in the words of both graduates and under-
graduates and in the quotations from the scores of letters that were read
were in perfect accord with this key note. This reading of letters was a
distinct feature of the celebration and was introduced as a roll-call from
absent alumni members. To each altunnus a letter had been addressed
asking for a response, — the price of the response to be $1.00 or more and
the money to be put into a fund for future needs of the Chapter House.
The response was hearty, gratifying and satisfying. New furnishings
for the Chapter home will be the substantial proof of the affectionate
remembrance of those who were absent from the banquet.
It would be interesting to quote from many of the letters speaking
of the indebtedness of their writers to the Colgate Chapter and their
happy memories of college days and of Delta Upsilon. The presence of
Brothers H. H. Peabody, D.D., '66, and J. M. Taylor, LL.D., '67, who
were charter members and who told of the beginnings of the chapter
in the vivid recital of the feelings and plans of those who first avowed
the principles of "Ouden Adelon," let us all into the charmed inner
circle of the early days, and gave to us a new feeling of tenderness and
reverence for Delta Upsilon.
In three cases, father and son were present Brothers J. M. Taylor,
•67, and J. P. Taylor, '95 ; Brothers D. D. Dean, '77, and R. G. Dean, '08;
Brothers E. J. Farley, '83, and E. S. Farley, '07. Brother J. M. Taylor
has been closely identified with the chapter since its founding, his resi-
dence having been in Hamilton since graduation. A pleasant feature
of the banquet was the presence of Brother Thornton B. Penfield who
represented the Executive Council and came to our Colgate celebration
with the representatives of the Hamilton Chapter, where he happened to
be visiting at the time. His toast invigorated the speaking and linked
the occasion to the forward stride of the whole fraternity outlook. The
undergraduates will not soon forget the love evidenced by the alumni,
their unwaning zeal and evident satisfaction to be present and the hearty
responses from those who were necessarily absent. Notliing will bind
the hearts of the younger men to tlie fraternity more than this splendid
example. The toasts were as follows :
Toastmaster, Professor Albert Perry Brigham, '79
Forty Years, Professor James Morford Taylor, LL,D., '67
The Charter Members, Reverend Henry Harrison Peabody. D.D., '66
The Men of His Time, Reverend Delavan Daniel Dean, *77
Brothers That Win, Reverend John Walter Phillips, D.D., '83

OPEN PARLIAMENT-
GCWCERNING FRATERNITY PINS.
New York, October 27, 1905.
To the Editor of the Delta Upsilon Quarterly:
It seems to me that it would be a good idea for the Alumni as well
as the undergraduates of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity to wear their pins
exposed on all occasions, instead of lending them to their wives and sweet-
hearts. I have met several members of the Fraternity, long since grad-
uated, who recognized the pin, and spoke to me in a friendly way — two
from Hamilton, three from Williams and one from the far west who
was on here visiting during the past summer. It is some encourage
ment to a man striking a strange town to see a Delta Upsilon pin swung
by some man long since removed from college life, and very often we
will meet friends who may be of assistance to us in a business way as
well as a social. It is human, I suppose, for young men to loan their jeweled
badges to their sweethearts, but it seems to me that if it is necessary for
their sweethearts to wear them the young men might possibly raise
enough money to buy two.
Fraternally yours,

New York, January 18, igo6.
To the Editor of the Quarterly :
At the risk of making myself disliked I intend to criticise the chapter
letters as published in the Quarterly. And I shall therefore hide behind
a nom-de-plume — that's all the French I know.
There has been considerable improvement lately, but there is always
room for more. I have been led to form an opinion of the various colleges
from the fact that even with changes in the chapter editor the character of
the letter does not materially change. In several cases I have fancied tliat
the "college" was hardly above the level of a high school.
One of the recent letters contained the following :
OPEN PARUAMENT 117
**We start the year nineteen strong. This is by far the largest number
with which we have started the opening term for some time, and needless
to say we can afford to take our time in selecting new men.
**The entering class is smaller in numbers than usual this year. How-
ever, four promising men have been pledged so far."
Aside from its English, which you might have corrected,, the contrast
between those two paragraphs points its own lesson.
Too many of the letters are but a statistical record of the positions
held by the men on athletic teams, committees, etc This is all good, but
not enough. I would be interested in news of the college itself and in the
coming of new fraternities into the field. In the past seven or eight years
several new chapters have been added to the fraternity list at my college,
but our chapter letters have never mentiond them. The editor forgets that
these matters would be news to the alumni.
Some of the chapter editors seem to have been elected with absolute-
ly no regard to their fitness for the work. Here are a few quotations
which appear time after time in one form or another :
"The opening of the school year found the chapter in prosperous con-
dirion."
"The prospects for a successful year are exceedingly bright."
"They are men who will uphold the standard of Delta Upsilon."
"We succeeded in getting the cream of the freshman class."
"We extend greetings to the brothers of our sister chapters."
"His was a noble life. To know him was to love him."
"We are well represented in every branch of college life."
It is evident that the chapter letter is an irksome duty to many of the
editors. Whv should this be the case? Have we no enthuiastic under-
graduates? I must not be too sweeping. There were half a dozen excel-
lent letters in the last number. I read ever)' letter. Of course the statistics
are of interest to the alumni of the chapter, but the rest of the letter, if
there is any, is of general interest. A good test of a letter is to cut out
the statistics; if the remainder claims your attention it is good. But
these platitudes; these optimistic prognostications; these hopeful views
of future honors ; they are all padding. I want to see this, the largest de-
partment of the Quarterly, and the most important, made the most
interesting. I shall continue to watch it with that hope.
Fraternally yours,
An Enthusiast.
ii8 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
OBITUARIES.
J. CHESTER GHAMHERLAIN» RUTGER& 'SZ.
Electrical science and American bibliography each sustained a loss
irreparable by the untimely death, from acute pneumonia, in New York,
on July 28, 1905, of J. Chester Chamberlain, who occupied a unique
place in the van of progressive electrical engineers, while an unusual
number of people, bound by ties of blood and comradeship, grieve the
loss of one of whom it has been aptly and truly said that he had "a
positive genius for friendship."
Mr. Chamberlain was bom in India July 3rd, i860, the eldest son
of Charlotte (Birge) and Jacob Chamberlain, M.D., D.D. ; the seventh
in generation from William Chamberlain of England, who settled in
New England in 1648. He married in Albany, N. Y., June 12, 1895,
Anna May Irwin, who, with one daughter, survives. For many years
his home was in the Beresford, i West 81 st St., New York.
After graduating with honor from Rutgers College in 1882, he took
a post-graduate course in chemistry. Prominent in all college activities,
he was a member of the football and baseball teams, champion in run-
ning and tennis, captain of the boat association, class president and busi-
ness manager of the Scarlet Letter, the college annual. Especially loyal
and devoted to Delta Upsilon, he was president of his chapter, a delegate
to the '81 Convention and a trustee of the old Delta Upsilon Qub of
New York. ' The large attendance of Rutgers men at the 69th Convention
and the 70th anniversary banquet in New York was due largely to his
efforts. His influence and financial support were constantly employed
in Delta U's behalf. Four of his brothers are members of the Rutgers
chapter: William I., '82; Lewis B., '86; Rufus N., '88, and Charles S.,
'89; — one of the two Delta Upsilon groups of five brothers.
So intense was Mr. Qiamberlain in his devotion and application to
the serious purpose and work of his life, electrical engineering, that
it may account for the splendid success he achieved in widely varied
lines of development of electrical science and their triumphantly suc-
cessful application in mechanically and commercially practicable ways.
Upon leaving college he entered Edison's Laboratory in New York
and thus became one of tlie pioneers in electrical lighting, and later he
was an electrical engineer in the historic first Edison electric light station
in Pearl St. In 1886 he became electrical engineer and superintendent
of construction for the Sawyer-Man Co., and his earlier installations
included the U. S. Capitol, the Hudson River Tunnel, which before
used candles, and other great plants. In 1889 the Julien Traction Co.,
at that time introducing storage battery cars, engaged him and he pat-
ented many improvements and inventions, some of which were funda-
OBITUARIES T19
mental and were acquired by the General Electric Co. About 1893
electric launches attracted his attention, and for seven years he developed
the design, construction and equipment of such boats, and carried them
from an experimental condition to a complete commercial success, the
Electric Boat Co. buying his interests in 1900. The next three years
were devoted to private interests and early in 1904 he became general
manager of the Automatic Refrigerating Co. He had just succeeded
in developing and perfecting the system, especially in connection with
electric motive power, when his sudden illness terminated his career.
As a bibliophile Mr. Chamberlain, by his selection and acquirement
of American authors, had passed all rivals, and possessed the best and
most interesting collection, containing some forty unique items which he
had unearthed. His fine discrimination and exclusiveness of taste was
remarkably well demonstrated by his rejection of all copies which were
not immaculate. His Whittier collection could not be approached and
contained a copy of "Moll Pitcher" in the original blue paper wrappers,
uncut. In the lines of the leading American authors there was no one
who had a greater knowledge of first editions, and he was a familiar
figure in the rare book shops and auction sales of New York, Boston
and other cities. Throughout all rivalries for the possession of rare
copies he always was beloved by his fellow collectors.
Mr. Chamberlain also was an experienced, accomplished genealogist.
One of the founders and most generous supporters of the Chamberlain
Association of America, he gave to it much of his time and at the time
of his death he was engaged in genealogical researches whose scope far
exceeded the Chamberlain ancestry in America.
Many clubs enrolled him as a member, including the Grolier Qub
which appealed especially to him, the Colonial Qub, the Marine and
Field Glib, the Delta Upsilon Onb. and the old Rlectnc Oiib: he was
an early member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and
a governor and chairman of the House Committee of the Engineer's Qub.
The New England Historical Register closes an obituary notice
of Mr. Chamberlain with :
"Tet his highest excellence was not -his notable electrical dlscoverlei
and achievements; nor in his marked business success; nor In his skillful.
Important work as a bibliophile and genealogist He was faithful to the
welfare of both his city and his country. In him gentleness was blended
with strength, and amiableness with resolute Integrity. Well bom and well
brought up, he appeared even to those who knew him most intimately, to
^ave no remotest inclination to any form of dishonor. Comely, courteous,
joyou.s with a genius for friendship, he was the light of his beautiful home,
a centre of attraction among many acquaintances, and an example of perfect
uprightness in wide business relations. He was, all in all, a Christian gentle-
man of rarely noble type."
Brother Chamberlain was one of a group of Delta Upsilon men from
120 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
several chapters who were active workers in our Fraternity life over
twenty years ago. The open-hearted, cordial, fraternal affection which
he freely gave and received will never be forgotten. A characteristic
type of Delta Upsilon manhood has passed this way.

JOHN R. PEALE, LAFAYETTE, Ift ^•THE MISSIONARY BIARTYR.''
T J NDER the title "John R. Peale, the Missionary Martyr," The
^ A'^c* York Observer of November 23, 1905, published the fol-
lowing article on Brotlier Peale who was murdered October 28, 1905,
at Lien-chou, China:
No deeper shadow has fallen over Princeton Seminary in years
than that caused by the news of tlie martyrdom of the Rev. John
R. Peale and his wife, in Lien-cliou, China, October 28, 1905.
Mr. Peale was graduated from Lafayette College in 1902; was an
honor man in his class; President of the Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation; a member of the Dramatic Association and the Delta Upsilon
Fraternity. He was editor of the College Annual; won the Coleman
Biblical prize in his freshman year ; was three times a delegate to North-
field and was Leader of the Volunteer Band. His chief purpose while in
college was the spiritual uplift of the college life.
He entered Princeton Seminary in the fall of 1902, where he was one
of the most popular of the men and beloved by both faculty and students.
Seldom has there ever been a student there more intensely interested in
foreign missions or one who tried to do more to interest his fellow
students in that work. * * * He lived a sweet, unassuming life, but
did much quiet personal work among men.
Just before his departure for China Mr. Peale expressed the wish
that he might be allowed to serve his Master forty years in China. He
was permitted to live there only forty days, so that beyond a few
letters expressing his joy at being in China, there is nothing to report
of his life as a missionary; but he had done a good work for missions
before he left the United States. He was graduated from Princeton
Seminary in the class of 1905, having received his M. A. degree from
Princeton University in 1904. He sailed for China Augfust 16, 1905. He
had been at his station in Lien-chou only four days when the massacre
ocaired, and he and his young wife were slain. His death came as a
great shock to the entire student body. Yet no greater stimulus could
have come to the seminary for foreign missions than the martyrdom of
this one beloved by all, who worked so zealously for that cause while here.
Instead of its being a damper thrown upon the cause men are hearing in
it a clarion call to rise and fill the gap left vacant.

A GARFIELD MEMORIAL 121
On Sunday afternoon, November 4, 1905, a memorial service was
held in the Seminary for Mr. Peale, and practically the entire student
body and faculty were there. * * * It was one of the most impres-
sive meetings ever held in Princeton Seminary. His death has caused
a wave of missionary zeal to sweep over the Seminary.
FREDERIC G* KIMBSICH, COLGATE, 'O^^-IN MEMORIAM.
"D Y the death of Frederic G. Kimmich on December 21, 1905, the
"*^ Colgate chapter suffered a loss unparalleled in the experience of
the present members. A private service was held at the chapter house
and the funeral was at his former home, Horseheads, N. Y., many of
the chapter and college attending. Six of the active chapter acted as
pall-bearers. At the time of his death he was president of the senior
class, captain-elect of the varsity baseball team and president-elect of
the chapter. He had been offered the state secretaryship of tlie Penn-
sylvania Y. M. C. A. He was a leader in the life of the college and
was a faithful student, gaining the respect of his instructors by his work.
Brother Kimmich's manly attitude toward life, his noble and lovable
disposition, have had a lasting influence on all who knew him.
In these days of our loss we, his brothers, have gained a closer
fraternal bond and a new impulse toward true living.
A GARFIELD MEMORIAL.
At the Colgate alumni banquet at Hamilton, last June, John B.
Creighton, secretary of the Brooklyn League, responded to the toast,
**The Fraternity Man in Public Life." In part he spoke as follows:
''In speaking of Delta Upsilon men in public life the name of James
A. Garfield still stands pre-eminent.
"It seems to me that Delta Upsilon men the world round should
make hallowed ground of the room in which he died. Why not have
it a Garfield museum assembled by the love of his fraternity bretlircn?
Whv not make it a Mecca for all who believe the cardinal features of
the Delta Upsilon ideals were exemplified in the life of James A. Garfield?
Could not the Colgate chapter start such a movement? The cottage is
now one belonging to the Elberon Hotel and rented each season to who-
ever may apply. The chair in which the President died still remains in
the room."
Brother Creighton is a member of the executive committee and sec-
retary of the Brooklyn League. His address is Temple Bar, 44 Court
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
122 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
BOOK REVIEWS.
The Divine Processional. A poem in twenty-nine cantos, interspersed
with songs. By the Rev. Dennis Wortman, D.D., L.H.D. Author
of "Rcliques of Christ." Fleming H. Revell. $1.50. For sale by
Board of Publication of Reformed Qiurch, 25 E. 22d st, N. Y.
The poet of the 1892 Convention, held with tlie Colby Chapter at
Waterville, Maine, was the Rev. Denis Wortman, D. D., L. H. D.,
Amherst, '57. Shortly before the Convention Dr. Wortman found him-
self unable to attend, and forwarded his manuscript which was read
by another. His striking poem, "The Wonder-Cross," made a profound
impression and it will interest the members of the Fraternity of which,
for more than half a century. Dr. Wortman has been a highly honored
member, to know that this striking interpretation of Christianity's central
fact has grown until it now appears a handsome volume of nearly three
hundred pages, published by Fleming H. Revell Co., under the title of
"The Divine Processional." The title as it now appears, is, according
to the author in his introduction more suggestive of the trend and pur-
pose of the whole work than the one originally selected, "The Wonder-
Cross." This book, and by that I mean the poem, is one of the most
remarakble productions in recent years. A writer in the Princeton
Reviezv began his review with this striking sentence: "In the above
poem Dr. Wortman has given us the noblest modem Christian epic," and
continues, "It will rank as the best harmony of the apparently conflicting
thoughts of our teeming age and as their highest inspiration. It gives
them all a place in a firmament that presents an orderly, progressive,
divine scheme, wherein glimpses of an infinite unity cause the stars to
sing together and sons of God to shout for joy." William Hayes Ward
of The Independent says, "It is a remarkably bold and original poem in
its plot and conception, and surprisingly well constructed and developed.
You have attempted a most unusual task, like Milton in the third tx>ok
of Paradise Lost, to make God a principal speaker in the epic, or like
one of the old prophets, to utter a Thus saith the Lord.' " This intro-
duction of Jehovah as one of the speakers is both audacious and sublime.
The author gives his reason for it in these words : "To hear the Father
speak, appeared the only way to represent tlie incarnation and atonement
from the divine standpoint. We have been in the bad habit of overlooking
the Father's interest in the redemptive work. Our praise and praying
would seem to indicate that in showing fortli His mercy. He were going
against His own nature; as though He needed placating; as though He
did not love us but wanted to, and so let His beloved die on the cross
that He might overcome the legal obstacles and scruples, and love us
and forgive; We seem sometimes to forget that God so loved the world
BOOK REVIEWS 123
that He gave His only begotten Son! Therefore, here we would have
Himself speak out His own gracious heart; however brokenly and
erringly we may interpret it into our human speech. The poem, there-
fore, would venture reverently to place us in the attitude of listening to
His Voice, and gathering therefrom some conception of what He is
pleased to plan." And the poem does this very thing. Everywhere
reverence is sensed and dignity is realized. It is a master hand that in
this poem does this very thing. It has been said that "Revelation is
God's triumphant march through history," and it is along this path
that the author walks with stately and reverent step, the purpose of the
poem being an interpretation of nature, of history, and of God's relation
to both. That God is in his world and at work toward a divine purpose,
the author firmly believes and as successfully shows. Bold in his utter-
ances, daring in his imagination, with a fine poetic feeling, with a jubilant
faith, and breathing through all his verses a fine, wholesome mysticism,
Dr. Wortman has produced a great poem. He has honored the fratern-
ity of which he is a member, and has rendered a distinct service to
religion. As Margaret Sangster says, in her review of the poem, "No
one who loves Jesus and loves to dwell on his wonderful life, wonderful
death, and resurrection, can fail to find profit in this remarkable book.
It is the product of many brooding years, not the hasty and careless
work of an hour." It is a book, therefore, which one will read, and
read again. Ezra Squier Tipple.
The Torch: a novel, by Herbert M. Hopkins, {Columbia, '93); the
Bobbs-Merrill Company, Indianapolis; pp 398; price $1.50.
This is neither a murder mystery nor a problem novel — the two
apparently favored types of stories today. It has, however, its mystery
and its problem, for is not the heart of a woman a mystery and is not
the management of a university a problem ?
A new president, ambitious and snobbish, takes the reins in the
university at Argos and drives with a curb bit. He dismisses the profes-
sor of political economy, an old classmate who was instrumental in his
appointment, on the ground of improper socialistic and political activities.
The faculty shows its indignation by the resignation of a dozen of the
most prominent members. Although the author was connected with
Stanford University at about the time of the dismissal of a professor
for utterances offensive to the founder he did not intend to identify this
university with his story. He says that he took his idea from this inci-
dent, but that to compare tlie wealthy woman and false-hearted president
of the story witli Mrs. Stanford and President Jordan would be worse
than caricature.
The story is full of action and interest and shows the result of
letting money-worship take the place of sound learning. The characters
124 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
arc individually well drawn, the plot is evenly developed and the ending
IS satisfactory. The story is altogether thoroughly enjoyable.
Philippine Life in Town and Country. By James A. Le Roy {Michi-
gan, '96) ; illustrated; $1.20, G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York.
This book will prove of interest to many more than the thirty or
forty Delta U's who have been to the Philippines recently. The subject
is full of interest to all patriotic Americans. The author has g^ven a
thoughtful consideration of the Filipino civilization, progress and pros-
pects. The Netv York Tribune says :
"His avowed purpose is *to set forth the Filipinos as they are, avoid-
ing, on the one hand, pschological speculation under the guise of analysis
of their characteristics, and, on the other hand, political propaganda in
behalf of any theoretical plan for their future government, or in behalf
of the compromise plan under which they are at present being governed.'
This purpose Mr. Le Roy fulfils with rare discretion, and his book may
be read with profit and without offense by imperialist and anti-imperial-
ist alike. It is, in fact, one of the sanest and least prejudiced of the
many accounts, discussions and pronunciamentos that form the already
large and highly variegated bibliog^phy in regard to our new and
perplexing Asiatic possessions. The point which the author keeps con-
stantly in view in his description of native 'characteristics, customs and
institutions is the capacity for progress which they indicate."
Brother Le Roy has had unusual opportunities for studying his
subject. He was for several years connected with the Department of
the Interior of the Philippine Government. The Providence Journal says,
at the close of a long review : "Mr. Le Roy is manifestly to be listened
to with respect. He gives his facts plainly, and, although he is in
the main optimistic, he admits that there are grave possibilities. What
is most needed at the present time, he feels, is a class of men of 'definite
attainments, men who have acquired knowledge by hard work, who will
apply themselves to the immediate practical needs of the people.' The
unfortunate, possibly even fatal, feature of the present situation is that
the young men of the best type, 'but one instant after having contemned
the ancient regime for having bound their people in economic and intel-
lectual slavery, are pushing headlong into the speculations of the sort
which so commonly enchant the Spanish soul, pottering about the out-
skirts of modem science, grasping after distorted fragments of the phil-
osophy of other nations. It is so much easier to reach g^eat conclusions
in sociology, to chase theorems of political philosophy around a stump,
than to solve the practical problems of administration now facing the
Philippine municipalities and towns. And yet, * * * they set up for
themselves the standards of the Occident, not those of the Orient.' "

Referring to the table giving a summary of chapter membership pub-

three times refers to us as "Delta £psilon."
The Caduceus of Kappa Sigma gives a list of percentages of
fraternity men to the number of male students in a number of colleges
from which we take the following: Bowdoin, 85 per cent; Brown, 60;
New York, 45; Swarthmore, 43; Stanford, 28; Nebraska, 20 (excluding
locals and professionals); Wisconsin, 13 (excluding professionals).
The Kappa Alpha Theta girls evidently had a good time on the
way to 'convention last July. Here is where the sororities "win out" :
* * they all turned in and made up their own berths, despairing
of ever getting beds through the uncertain and ineflScient motions of a
green porter. One girl developed such skill that with the aid of a sopho-
more to fetch sheets and pillow cases from the linen closet she made
up eight berths.
126 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
Fifty years ago a man generally wore his fraternity pin in his cravat.
As time wore on the pin advanced to the lapel of the coat; then fra-
ternity conservatism dictated that it was ill-mannered to display it upon
any place but the waistcoat. The best authorities upon the subject recog-
nize that it is only proper to wear the pin as near the heart as possible. —
Phi Gamma Delta.
Should any chapter of Delta Upsilon consider local conditions para-
mount and good taste of lesser importance it would do well to realize
that the Phi Gamma Delta voices the opinion of all fraternities.
This is "George Edwin's" item 3 in instructions to chapter editors
as given in Desmos of Delta Sigma Delta :
The type-setter is not especially impressed by monograms or em-
bossed letter heads, and he absolutely abhors one of these letters that skip
from the first page to the third, then back to the second, and finally
finish on the fourth. That may be all right in writing to Maude, but
the type-setter is a sordid chap with work-stained fingers and that kind
of copy frequently makes him swear like a hired man, which is bad for
his morals.

On December 26, 1904, at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon convention at
Memphis, Tenn., that fraternity published the first issue of its "Con-
vention Daily News." The Record claims that the idea is, "so far as
the writer is aware, a new venture in fraternity journalism." On October
26, 1 904, two months earlier, the first copy of "The Convention Daily"
was published at the Qiicago convention of Delta Upsilon, and was, so
far as we are aware, the first venture of its kind.
Incidentally it was in 1867 ^^* Delta Upsilon published the first
Greek-letter fraternity magazine. Our Record, the predecessor of The

A table taken from the Manual of Sig^a Alpha Epsilon giving date

fraternities has been going the rounds of the fraternity journals during
the past six months. Delta Upsilon is credited with 8,538 members and
30 chapters! Shades of Baird! Someone must have been asleep. The
table must date back to 1896, when we had 29 chapters and increased
to 31. The October, 1905, Quarterly published a table compiled from
the latest edition of Baird's Manual giving Delta Upsilon 9,169 mem-
bers and 36 chapters. And now we have 37 chapters and our member-
ship is close to ten thousand.

failing to have a chapter letter in any issue :
No chapter letter for this issue of The Record was received from

The following fraternities have been the pioneers in the universities
of the Rockv Mountain states and the Pacific Coast states: Zeta Tsif

University of Oregon, 1900; Sigma Nu, University of Montana, 1905;
Kappa Sigma, University of Idaho, 1905. That section is now being
rapidly preempted, as it presents the finest uncultivated field for fraternity
extension in the United States. In the whole Union there remain only
two or three state Universities which have not been occupied by tlie
Greeks.— TA^ Scroll of Phi Delta Theta.

The following college news items are taken from The Caduceus of

Stanford altmini will raise $5,000 for a portrait of President Jordan,

There were three co-eds at the University of Nortli Carolina last
year. At Purdue there were twenty-eight. There are six hundred more
women at Nebraska than men.
Legal obstacles have put a final end to the negotiations, begun in
May, 1894, looking to the practical consolidation of Harvard and Massa-
chusetts Tech. by an elaborate scheme of co-operation.

Acacia, a "Masonic fraternity" was chronicled recently. Here are
two more out of the ordinary:
The first National Greek Letter College fraternity to be founded
by colored students was organized January 3, 1906, at the Ohio State
University with eleven members. It is called Pi Gamma Omicron. Char-
ters will be granted to these colleges : Chicago, Indiana, Denison, Fiske,
Tennessee, Hampton, Wilberforce, and Virginia. — The New York Sun.

Williamstown and the Delta U. broth-
ers who went were very pleasantly
entertained by the Williams chapter
at dinner after the game.

this banquet Charles B. Hughes, '81,
was the chief speaker, and was greet-
ed with an outburst of enthusiasm.
President Faunce also spoke.
There have been some changes in
the Delta Upsilon membership of the
faculty. Dr. Allan H. WiUett, Ph.
D., of the department of Polit'cal
Economy is to have charge of the de-
partment of Economics at Carnegie
lustitute, Pittsburg, and Arthur U.
Pope, '03, and Basil Bois Wood, '05,
are now in our philosophic depart-
ment, the first as instructor, the lat-
ter as assistant. Pope has made sev-
eral maps of Palestine, one of which
gained high recognition among geog-
raphers at home and abroad.
There are 849 undergraduates at
the University this year, of whom
thirty-one are Delta U's, and these
are by no means the "submerged"

'76 — Professor Oeorge B. Horr of
the Newton Baptist Theological In-
stitution was the speaker on Novem-
ber 9» 1905, at die second in the
series of biblical lectures at the
Twentieth Century Club.
"The Bible in Present Day Con-

Horr, and this subject he treated
from the standpoint of the modem

'80 and '81 — ^At the annual dinner
of the alumni of Brown Uniyemlty
on January 19, 1906, President W.
H. P. Faunce announced that Andrew
Carnegie had given $160,000 toward
a library in memory of John Hay.
Dr. Faunce then tackled football.
He said that the "sins of the entire
college should not be loaded on a
single game." He emphasized the
improvement in the moral tone of
college life caused by the game, be-
cause drinking and carousing prac-
tically had yielded to the demand of
football that its players lead clean,
healthy lives. "The question is," he
said, "what the game has done for
the social and official side of the
university. There is no doubt that
the rules should be modified, but I
would not make the game as innocu-
ous as checkers."
Charles B. Hughes, representing
the class of '81, spoke of the college
men in practical life and the value
of their ideals. "I cannot under-
stand how men after four years of
life in an atmosphere of culture and
high ideals," he said, "can come out
of college and become the lickspittles
of a political boss. Tou may look
into our insurance companies, into
our legislatures, and I am sorry to
say you will find college men trying
to get their share of graft with the
rest of them."
'82 — Prof. W. B. Jacobs of Brown

'90 — Lyman C. Newell is assistant

'90 — Prof. James Q. Dealey re-
cently exemplified the breadth of
spirit which characterises the fra-
ternity. The "New York Sun" said:
"Out of Brown Univcfrsity — ^great-
est of the Baptist Church— out of
Providence, R. I., the city of Roger
Williams, the unbigoted New Eng-
land religious outcast— came a cham-
pion this morning for the Unitarian
and Universalist churches at the In-
terchurch Conference on Federation
et Carnegie Hall. He was Prof,
James Quale Dealey, Ph. D., head of
the department of social and politi-
cal sciences of Brown University and
President of the Rhode Island Feder-
ation of Churches.
"At the beginning of the business
session, which was given up to a dis-
cussion of a plan of federation, the
professor created a sensation by a
motion that practically opened the
door to the latltudinarian denomina-
tions. The sensation was in the na-
ture of an amendment to Clause 7
of the plan of federation and read as
follows:
" 'Other diurch bodies, not indud-
ed in the list of organisations above
mentioned, may become members of

the Federal council if they make ap-
plication before or on Jan. 1, 1907.
*' 'No phraseology contained in the
plan of anion shall be construed to
imply any doctrinal basis whatever
save that implied in the broadest
ChrisUan unity/ "
Prof. Dealey has been re-elected
president of the state council of the
Rhode Island Federation of Churches
which, with the State Federation of
New York and Massachusetts, was
organized under the auspices of the
National Federation of Churches.
The body has the broadest possible
basis, and includes both the Univer-
sal and the Unitarian Churches. On
the other hand, the federation pro-
posed by the Carnegie Hall gathering
will probably take a much narrower
basis. If, therefore, the State federa-
tions are allowed representation in
the Federal Council, there will prob-
ably be a clash of basis of represen-
tation, it is said. Prof. Dealey's
amendments were not adopted.

THE opening of the spring term
finds our chapter settled at last
in our new fraternity house, which we
will dedicate by an afternoon recep-
tion and an evening dance sometime
during February. This will be the
formal opening to the College at
large.
The University is at present arous-
ed over the reform of Intercollegiate
Football which is so universally be-
ing waged. From the stand now
taken it appears that the Pacific
Coast universities will act independ-
ently in this matter. There is a
etrong sentinuent in favor of the
Rugby game and in all probabality
the Freshmen will play this next
term.
The usual spring sports are now
attracting the attention of the ath-
letes. More attention will be paid
to these sports on the part of the
public now that football has so de-
clined in favor.
A number of promising freshmen
have entered this term and this looks
good for the Freshman Track Meet
which will be held with Stanford this
spring. A series of baseball games
between the Freshman classes will
be played. It is hoped that these
games between the first year men
will induce many players to come out.
It is possible ihnt the rowing re-
gatta will be held at San Diego, in
Southern California this year. This

The opening of the term was mark*
ed by the dedication of California
Hall, the first of the buildings of the
greater Uniyersity, at which the Chi-
nese Imperial Delegation were inter-
ested spectators.
Last week we entertained Clayton

SINCB our last letter was written
the chapter has been weakened
by the loss of fonr of its members.
Vogt, '06, left college in November on
account of ill health. He is now at
Albuquerque, New Mez co, picking
up rapidly. About .^is time Worley,
'06, left college to enter business.
He is still in Chicago. Shortly after-
ward, Harvey Fuller, '08, left to act
as tutor and companion for Marshall
Field in. He is now at Lakewood,
New Jersey. Hitchcock, '06, left as
in January to go into business, with
the Western^Electric Company of Chi-
cago.
This loss in 'numbers was met by
our annual initiation, which was held
on our fifth anniversary, January
fifth. A number of our alumni were
prreent, as well as brothers from
the Harvard, Northwestern, Adelbert,
Rutgers, Minnesota, Cornell, Swarth-
more, and Michigan chapters. The
charge to the initiates was given by

the gold footballs given to those who
played on the championship team.
They are: Parry, '06, left end; Hitch-

'08, right guard.
Captain Parry of the track team,
expects to have a winning Indoor
team this season. Russell and Bro.-
to-be Taylor are counting on helping
him out in the point winning.
Bruce is on the gymnastic team.
Pressure of other work makre it nec-
essary for Hughes, '06, to give up
his position on the basketball team.
The inter-fraternity bowling league
has Just met, electing Parry presi-
dent. Two years ago he won the cup
for high score with a total of 240
pins. So far, we have won two out
of three games from Alpha Delta Phi,
and lost by the same score to Phi
Kappa Psi.
At the delayed elections of the
year, Bruce was elected treasurer of
the senior class, and Judson, '08,
vice-president of the sophomore class.
Bruce is also chairman of the senior
dramatic committee, and Hughi>8 is

VERY little has happened recent-
ly to bring the Colby chapter
into sp'cial prominence. However, a
few laurels have been won and a good
foundation is being laid for a steady,
healthy growth in all college and fra-
ternity activities.
Our d'-legates returned from the
Convention full of enthusiasm and
with a better appreciation of Delta
Upsilon. Some of this enthusiasm
has already been transmitted to the
other members and they are sparing
no effort that will help our chapter
to live up to our ideals.
Our new delegation is already be-
ginning to show that it is made of
real Delta Upsilon stuff. Bro. Foye,
who comes to us from West Bridge-
port, Mass., by his excellent prepara-
tion for college was able to capture
the first entrance prize. Bro. Mc-
Lellan Is holding down the position
of center on the varsity basketball
team. Bro. McCombe, '08, is meeting
with marked success as Reader for
the Musical Clubs. A college band
has recently hern organized and on
this Delta Upsilon is well represented
by Tallman, Merrill, and Richardson,
'09, Betts, '07, and Lincoln, '06.
On the baseball team which has
already begun training, Bro. Coombs
is captain and pitcher, Bro. Tribou is
out for his old position in left field
and is sure to hold it. Both of these
men were selected for the All-Maine
team last year.
Looking backward, we can see that
our chapter has already accompli^ed
something this year; looking forward,
we can also see that there are excel-
lent opportunities to accomplish more
and the brothers are eager to seize
upon these opportunities as they
come.
It will give great pleasure to the
Colby chapter to entertain or see In
our meetings any of the Delta Upsi-
lon brothers.

ON November 21 our chapter
passed through one of its red-
letter days when we celebrated the
40 th anniversary of its founding with
a banquet. A goodly number of our
alumni were here to help us celebrate
the occasion as well as several broth-
ers from other chapters.
We are pleased to have with us
Bro. A. D. Brownell, '02, who has re-
turned to finish hie course in the

are being tried out now for the Olee
and Mandolin clubs, and for the

on them all. Bros. Tocum, '07, and

Immediately after the close of the
football session the student body re-
ceived the Jarring news that football
had been abolished by the Univer-
sity faculty. The matter went
through the various stages of discus-
sion, protest, statements by the Presi-
dent, and student mass-meetings.
"Spectator," under the editorial di-
rection of Maynard, '06, was a promi-
nent factor in the students' fight.
The University Council, In taking
final action against the sport Just
before Christmas, went even further
and recommended to the President
tbe close restriction of all inter-
collegiate sports except rowing. To
aid him in the proposed investiga-
tion. President Butler has appointed

the substitutes. Though the team
has not done, so well as last year's
combination, it has only lost one
game so far, that with Dartmouth.

secured the position of historian.
With Maynard, '06, who as secretary
calls the class roll, we have two out
of eight speakers on the program.
This year the Seniors will plant ivy
instead of the customary yew tree.
On our crowded campus fromer class
trees have never had a chance to
grow. Jacques, '09, is Freshman
fencing manager. For the first time
in several years the Columbian, on
which Delta Upsllon was represented,
as usual, appeared before Christmas.
Its timeliness and acknowledged ex-
cellence made it quite a success.
We will have Temple, '06, and Hill,
'07, out for the lacrosse team this
year. Pell, '09, has Joined the Fresh-
man Debating Society. Hoag, '09, is
out for the Freshman crew. Several
brothers are trying for the 'Varsity

AFTER the last letter to the Quar-
terly our chapter has bren busy
getting settled. We are now in good
running order and are ready to sit
up and take notice of what is doing
in outside world. But while we have
been busy learning to know each
other, we have not been so absorbed
in that that we couldn't pay a little
attention to the college activities.
Bro. H. P. DuBois, '06, has been
elected Chairman of the Senior Ball,
and this, with his office of Editor-in-
Chief of the Cornell Daily Sun, gives
him an enviable position in hia class.
Bro. H. E. Davis, '07, is holding
up the reputation of the Junior class
as the Vice President of the Inter-
scholastic League and Chairman of
the Junior class Vigilance Commit-
tee. These two positions are of
great importance owing to what they
will bring next year.
For the second time Bro. Root,
'08, is playing on the Varsity Basket-
ball team, and is putting up his regu-
lar good game. He has also been
elected to his class society, and we
ferl that he is helping the chapter to
maintain its standing in the Univer-
sity. In fact, all the members of the
chapter this year seem to be doing
their best in this direction, and are
succeeding.
While on the Olee Club trip this
Christmas Bro. Nichols, '06, sang sev-
eral solos in the concerts, and made a
very good impression on the audi-
ence.
The whole chapter has been great-
ly shocked and grieved to hear of the
sudden death of Brother Harry Frank
Sonuner, '08, at his home in New
York last month. While Bro. Som-
mer was not known by all the pres-
ent members of the chapter, those
who knew him had spoken about
him 80 often that his d<'ath was felt
by all. And in losing him we all feel
that we lose one of the most loyal
Delta U's that we have ever had.

'72 — Educators and business men
of Denver Joined in a tribute to David
Starr Jordan, president of Stanford
University, California, who spoke
December 29 at the Chamber of Com-
merce luncheon. This eminent edu-
cator and scientist had an unusually
large and appreciative audience, hold-
ing as it did the most prominent in
business affairs and the leaders in
thought and education throughout
the state. He spoke of the socalled
"Yellow Peril," and, remarkable to
relate from the president of a Cali-
fornia institution, made little of the
"peril" that mi^t be expected from
either Japan or China. — Denver Re-
publican.
The N. Y. Tribune, in an editorial,
quotes President Jordan thus:
The position of the labor unions
on the coast in regard to excluding
Oriental labor is liable to cause trou-
ble, for the unions want a special ban
put upon Chinese, Japanese and Cor-
eans. If this measure becomes a
law it will mean war between the
United States and Japan. I am sure
of it, because I am personally ac-
quainted with many of the Japanese
officials and know their sentiments.
President Jordan addressed the
students and guests of Swarthmore
College, November 18, 1905. His
subject was '*The Blood of the Na-
tions." Among other things he said:
Greece and Rome, Carthage and
Egypt, the Arabs and the Moors fell
because, their warriors dying, the
nation bred real men no more. The
man of the strong arm and the quick
eye gave place to the slave, the
pariah, the man with the hoe, whose
lot changes not with the changes of
dynasties.

'88 — ^The Team Owners' Review
for September contains an illustrated
article on the career and the present
influential and prominent position of
George Judd Tansey, the president
and manager of what is probably
the largest teaming business in the
United States — the St Louis Trans-
fer Company of St Louis, Mo. The
firm owns between 1,000 and 1,100
horses, and transports every day
about 1,600 tons of freight
After leaving Cornell Mr. Tansey
attended the St Louis Law School
and was admitted to the bar in the
following year. In 1889 he became
assistant president and auditor of
the St Louis Transfer Company, of
which his father was then president
The following year he entered
upon the practice of law and con-
tinued for nine years in the active
practice of his profession.
Upon the death of his father, R.
P. Tansey, in 1899, the St Louis
Transfer company elected the son to
the position of president and general
manager.
Mr. Tansey's prominent position,
his influence and his legal knowledge
have been of immense benefit to the
entire teaming trade of St. Louis on
several occasions during controver-
sies with the labor unions. While
Mr. Tansey is not an opponent of
labor unions, he believes in maintain-
ing the principle of the "open shop."
In 1902 Mr. Tansey was elected
president of the Merchants' Exchange
of St Louis. He was a director of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
company. He is now a director of
the Granite Bi-Metalllc Mining com-
pany and a member of various social
clubs— Cornell Alumni News.

THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
men. Bro. C. Earl Smltli, '07, ia
back in school ag^ain. True to our
custom we kept on the lookout for
good men even tho' the "rush" of the
first term had long since passed.
As a result we have just initiated
two more men, Bro. Eugene Taylor,
*07, who is assistant in the Mathe-
matical department of the University,
and Bro. Lee Strong who entered as
« freshman this term. Besides these
we pledged two men of the prepara-
tory school, Randolph C. Patton and
Carl Ell. Both are excellent students
and the latter is a Senior and a star
player on the basketball team. We
have now four strong men coming up
from the Academy and prospects for
Delta U in De Pauw are bright in-
deed.
It is seldom that we refer to our
social accomplishments, but some of
our Alumni will perhaps be inter-
ested in a little plan which we ar-
ranged and carried out with no small
degree of success last term. It was
in the form of amatuer theatricals.
The play entitled "Three Ck>llege
Days" was written by Bro. Rawlings.
All roles except that of the heroine
were played by men of the fraternity.
The heroine was Miss Edith Miller,
of Frankfort, Ind., a cousin of one
of the brothers. A fraternity orch'^s-
tra was organised and part of the
music composed by Perry Reed, '07.
An amateur stage was perfectly
equipped in one end of our large
dining hall. We gave the play twice.
The first evening about forty of our
fair friends were present who assign-
ed us much sincere praise for our
successful and in this place, very
unusual entertainment. The following
evening the play was repeated before
some of our alumni, parents of Delta
U men, and a number of our friends
wlio reside in the city. Our second
effort was, if possible, rewarded with
greater appreciation and applause.
We naturally felt quite elated over
the outcome of our efforts.
The chapter house plan is still a
vital matter with us. We feel that
with the alumni back of us it is
bound to be successful. Occasionally
we receive a splendid, encouraging
letter from some alumnus which
causes our stock of enthusiasm to ad-
vance several points. We are cer-
tainly persevering and with the help
of our graduated brothers we shall
certainly come out with colors flying
high and the chapter house plan on a
thoroughly solid basis.
On the evening of February 2 our
Annual State Banquet will occur at
Indianapolis. We are going down
with the expectation of meeting every
Delta U in the state. We desire that
this banquet may beget so much en-
thusiasm that Delta Upsilon may
flourish in Indiana as she never
has before. Not only do we want to
flz our chapter house plan on a solid
foundation but we also wish to enlist
the co-operation of our alumni in gpt-
ting a line on many of the new men
who will enter De Pauw from the
various parts of the State nest

THE past few months have seen
a great turning point for the
Harvard Chapter in the celebration
of its twenty-fifth birthday, an oc-
casion which was fittingly obserr-
ed by a very successful and memor-
able banquet. The end of the first
quarter-century of its existence sees
the Harvard Chapter firmly establish-
ed, with an honorable record behind
it, an enthusiastic backing of gradu-
ates, many of whom haye made their
mark in the world, and a unique and
respected position among Hanrard
clubs, gained by its uniformly high
standing in scholarship and charac-
ter, and to the great success of our
Bllzabethan plays.
AS regards scholarship, the pres-
ent year is wrll up to our standard.
Holcomb, Hurlin, Jones, Briggs,
Thayer and Underhill, from 1906,
and Haring, '07, are in Pbi Beta
Kappa, while at the recent award of
academic distinctions, no less than
twenty prizes were carried off by
Delta U's. In other intellectual fields,
Brackett is President of the Chess
Club, and he and Johnson played on
148
THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
th€ team against Yale; Hirsdi was a
^Varsity debater against Princeton,
and Holoombe was on his class team;
and at the recent Musical Club Con-
cert. Several of Hurlin's composi-
tions received merited applause. In
the social field. Keeling and Brumley
are on the Junior Dance Committee,
and Holcombe has been elected to
the Hasty Pudding dub. In athletics,
Kempner is on the baskeitball team,
and Oring, Holmes, and MacAusland
are on the squad, while Burton is
captain of his class hockey team.
The great event of the spring term
is our annual play, for which we
will this year revive Thomas Hey-
wood's comedy, "The Wise Woman of
Hogsdon," one of the best, though
little known, of the Pre-Shakesper-
ian dramas. The play has not been
revived since it was first produced,
and our choice has met with univer-
sal approval. At tliis writing, the
cast has not yet been selected, but
the chief role will undoubtedly be
taken by Hurlin, who made a great
success in last year's play. Per-
formances will be given in Cambridge
and Boston, and at Wellesley College,
and in conclusion, the chapter ex-
tends a cordial invitation to all bro-
thers past and present to attend the
graduates' night performance, at
Brattle Hall, Cambridge, on March
26th.

THE installation of our chapter
occurred on the evening of De-
cember 21, 1905. On account of
examinations it was impossible for
many of our brothers irom other
clhapters to be present. We regret-
ted this very much, as we had hoped
that a large number of them would
be with us on that occasion. A num-
ber of our alumni members were
back for the event to which they
had looked forward for three years.
Our chapter really began its ex-
istence with the new year. We num-
ber twenty-six undergraduates and
two alumni. Harman, '02, and Mal-
colm, '02, both instructors in Engin-
eering, are rooming in the house and
taking an active interest in the chap-
ter.
We had five freshmen who were
taken in as charter members of the
chapter. Since then we have pledged
one man, T. W. Samuels of East St
Louis. All of these men are promis-
ing. Wacaser was regular end on
the freshman eleven, and is 'Varsity
matesial. Hendricks is a member of
the University Band. Samuels is on
the debating squad and will in all
probability make the University
team. Taylor is showing up well In
baseball practice.
The football season was rather dUK
couraging, as the material was light.
Three of our men. Rump, '06, Brad-
ley, '07, and Stewart, '08, were
awarded "I's".
Baseball practice began immedl-
ately after the Christmas vacation.

TIfHB Chapter has added to its
number two more men, mak-
ing a total of ten taken in this year.
On January 22 our Second De-
gree Initiation was held for which
an amusing program had been pre-
pared. The initiates safely weathered
the many "trying" ordeals to which
they were subjected and are now en-
gaged in preparinir for the fraternity
examination which will soon be
around.
Basketball being excluded at Ia-
fayette for lack 01 a suitable floor an
Inter-fraternity bowling tournament
has been arranged as a diversion for
the winter term and matches are tak-
ing place daily. All are displasring
a decided interest in the sport and
the rivalry is high. Delta U is repre-
sented by a team which was victori-
ous in its first contest
The annual celebration of Junior
Week, which has now become a per-
manent fixture comes the second
week in February this year and is
looked forward to by the fellows with
a great deal of interest and pleas-
ure. The program Includes a play by
the Dramatic Association, the Jun-
ior Browse and Junior Hop. The
latter especially has always been a
delierhtful occasion and Delta U is
making every endeavor to obtain a
good attendance at this, the social
event of the college year.

THB past three weeks have been
busy ones for the Lehigh chap-

anything but low. The mid-year exam-

the second term begins Monday.
The results of the examinations
were, on the wliole, satisfactory to
us, and it looks as though we would
all be here until June, at least
The Freshmen are allowed to live
in fratrrnity houses from now on,
and three of our Freshmen have
moved into the house. We have ini-
tiated six men thus far this year,
which is better than moat of the fra-
ternities have done; and we are to
have another initiation sometime in
February. At least three more will
be taken in at that time. An infor-

initiation, Decctmber 15, at whicfh
several alumni, and a delegation
from the Lafayette chapter were
present
Bro. Dunn, '07, played center on
the varsity football team until near

ON January 23, 1906, one of the
most significant eventn in the
history of Marietta College took
place in the laying of the comer-
stones of the new Library and Dor-
mitory. Bro. J. E. Sater, '75, had
been selected as orator for this oc-
casion but unfortunately the press
of business prevented him from being
present. With two new buildings
taking definite shape we are made to
believe that what we are pleased to
call the Greater Marietta is indeed
a reality.
Our chapter has also been
strengthened by the initiation on
January 17 of two men whom we
feel will be a credit to Delta U.
On Friday evening, December 22,
was held the annual Christmas ban-
quet Bro. A. G. Williamson, '98,
was toastmaster. Toasts were given
by Bros. H. W. Stanley, '80, L. S.

evening. We entertained our alumni
who spent the holidays here with
a dance on December 25. Thirty
couples were present and a pleasant
time was had welcoming the fel-

Bro. Lord, '08, is our representa-

SINCE the last issue of the "Quar-
terly" we have added three
names to our chapter roll, of men
whom we think will strength our
chapter.
Christmas exams are over and we
look back over the past term with
feelings of both sorrow and Joy —
sorrow over the days that are gone
forever and joy at something accom-
plished. This last term has seen
us in a better way numerically than
for three or four years.
Our chapter has been very active
in University affairs. Bros. Mc-
Cnaig, Lindsay, Spafford, Walker and
Stewart are all on the Ebcecutive
of the Hockey Club. Bros. Ruttan,
Baillie and Mather are holding down
places on the various teams, while
Bro. Lindsay is playing a stellar
game In goal for the first team.
McGill stands an excellent chance of
winning the Intercollegiate trophy
again this year. She has beaten
Queens once but was unforunate
to lose against Toronto on a small
rink devoid of ice in places. How-
ever, the local club is hoping for
revenge when Toronto visits Mont-
real in a couple of weeks.
The McGill Glee and Mandolin
club has Ju^ returned from a trip
through Bastem Ontario, having vis-
ited Morrisburg, Brockville and
Smith's Falls. The trip was succpss-
ful in every way except financially.
Bros. Tom and Will Stewart sang

and Pedley played in the Mandolin
club.
Our Bighth Annual Banquet was
held on January 10th at the Place

The Glee and Mandolin club are
holding their concert a week later
on February 9th and are hoping to
make up the small deficit incurred
on their trip.
During the last couple of months
we have been favoured by visits from
quite a number of brethren of other

among those welcomed.

other chapters a very successful end-

AT the present writing, we are
nearing the close of the first
semester of the college year, and
Michigan Chapter can look with
satisfaction on the work accomplish-
ed thus far. The chapter is keeping
pace with the progress of the Uni-
versity and is upholding the stand
it has taken in scholarship, and stu-
dent activities.
In the latter we are well repre-
sented, despite the fact that we lost
ten strong m^'n by graduation, last
June. Hal Weeks, '07, played regu-
lar halfback on the 'Varsity this fall,
and Chandler, '08, and Gray, '08,
received "R's" for services on the
'Varsity reserves. Our prospects in
track work are equally good. Chand-
ler, '08, is showing up well in the
weight events, and Hull, '05, '08,
Law, is out for the sprints. Gradle,
'06, is expected to again win the
Fencing Championship, which he has
held for two years. He is also presi-
dent of the Fencing Club, and has
first place on the team. Several of
the brothers are expected to make
their class track teams in the com-
ing try-outs.
On the Comedy Club, we are rep-
resented by Dickey, '06, who is presi-
dent, and has the leading role, and
by Cutting, '06, who is manager.
We have three men, Wilson, '09,
Spiro, '09, and Weeks, '09, on the
Freshman Glee Club, the freshman
honorary society. Hull, '05, '08 law,
has been initiated into the hui Delta
Phi, (legal.) Fishleigh, '02, '06
BSng., has been elected to the Quad-
rangle Club, honorary. This club is
composed mainly of members of
the faculty, and Delta Upsilon still
has more than twice as many mem-
bers as any other fraternity in this
club. Fishleigh is also a member of
the Vulcan, and of the Michigamua,
the two senior societies.
On committees, we have Gradle,
'06, Senior Pipe and Stein, and
Toung, '06, Senior Memorial. Broad-
head, '07, represents us on the Jun-
ior Hop committee.
Fishleigh, '06, was elected to the
senior council. This body has con-
trol of all student activities and stu-
dent organizations.
Dickey, '06, received excellent
press notices for his skits and mono-
logues produced in connection with
the 'Varsity Musical Clubs.
A very unusual state of affairs
exists in our chapter this year. We
have five pairs of brothers.
We have been favored with many
visitors recently. Among them were
Bros. Beck, Chicago, '07, Tanner,
Cornell, '91, Smith, '04, Johnson, *05,
Houston, '05, Corbusier, '99, Wright,
Harvard, '97, MacLaughlin, '03,
Simpson, '04, and Viger, '05. Dur-
ing the football season we had the
privilege of seeing nine of our Wis-
consin brothers, on tile occasion of
the Michigan-Wisconsin game and
the entire Ohio State chapter paid us
a visit when O. S. U. played here.
Michigan lost the championship of
the West in football this year, after
holding it for four succesive years.
We saw the end of the season, with
our goal line still uncrossed. Chicago
beat us by the score of 2 to 0. It

is a consolation to Michigan chapter
to know that Chicago had the three
Delta Upsilon men on the line up.
The game was well played and the
glory is fairly theirs.
We are now looking forward to
onr annual house party which takes
place in Fehruary at the time of the
Junior Hop. The complete success
of hoth events is proverhial.

MIDDLEBURY*
Active Membership, 25.
MTDDLEBURY has the hardest
part of the college year before
her just now. The year here is di-
vided into three terms and as we
have no basketball team there is
nothing in the athletic line to dis-
tract our minds from our studies.
Therefore the faculty get in their best
licks on us during this term and we
have to study some to keep ahead
of the game.
On the 26 th of January we gave
what ^e call our Semi-annual Hop,
and under the management of Bros.
Acton and Perkins it was successful.
We are planning to have another
little dance in a week or so. These
dancee are not full dress affairs but
rather tend toward the shirt-waist
style, but everyone has a good time
because the number is small and
everyone knows everyone else.
Bros. Percy, '07, Eddy, '08. and
Viele, '09, are back with us this term
after nearly a year's absence and
seem glad to see all the brothers
again. Bro. Hayford, '09, has re-
turned after an absence of a part
of last term. Bro. Waterman, '09,
has left college to go south with his
parents.
At the annual Sophomore Hop
given at the end of the Fall term
Delta U was better represented than
any of the other three fraternities
and, what is just as important here,
we had them beaten on girls. There
is always considerable rivalry along
that line.
Middlebury wishes well to every
brother in Delta U everywhere and
with these wishes must say goodby
for another three months.

Chapter did herself proud.
On the 8th we gave the most suc-
cessful dance and party of the year.
This being our "annual stunt,"
a large number of old men were
here, and besides these, we had rep-
resentatives of other fraternities.
Bro. Dildine, '06, who is now in the
Jewelry business, presented us with
gold plated buttons, bearing the
monogram and the words "Nebraska
Chapter." These buttons made quite
a hit in the University and certainly
were a great credit to Bro. Dildine.
Early on the evening of the 9th, we
initiated the three new men and then
repaired to the Lindell Hotel, where
an elaborate banquet was served,

We are holding our usual comer
on college honors. Claude Davis,
'06, has secured the place of leading
man in the Senior play, winning out
over many aspirants. Frank Ander-
son, '06, was initiated into Phi Delta
Phi, the honorary law fraternity. He
was also elected Master of Cere-
monies of the Ol&cers' Hop, which is
given annually by the Cadet Ol&cers.
Bro. Hagensick, '06, was elected to
membership in Sigma Tau, the engin-
eer's fraternity. One of the resultant
pleasures to us of the football season
was the winning of an "N" by Bro.
Lundin, '06. In basketball, we have
an option for sure. Out of the six
first team men, three are Delta U
men, and out of the ten men in the
first squad, we have five. These are
Moser, E. Hagensick, Winters, L.
Hagensick, and Sage.
A sad event was the death of Mr.
J. P. Walton, father of Bro. Walton,
'05. Holding a position with the Gen-
eral Electric Co., at Schenectady,
Bro. Walton returned to Nebraska
and was with us until after the fu-
neral. He reports Bro. Sheldon, '05,
as being very successful with the
same company, having Just received

THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
The matter of fraternity rushing,
taken up by the Board of Regents,
has been settled. A committee, con-
sisting entirely of fraternity men was
appointed to regulate these matters
and therefore no harm was done by
the movement.
The second semester opens up in
nice shape. We will have three old
men back with us — Bugene Brook-
ings, '01, who will register in the
College of Law; W. P. Day, who
graduates this year from the Ciyil
Bngineering department; and H. L.
Swan, of the class of '08, who was
unable to return last fall. This will
raise the total membership to twenty-
five and as we have several new men
hanging fire, it seems probable that
we shall attain the highest member-
ship ever reached by the Chapter.

THB chapter house has been quite
popular for the past week or
more. We are in the midst of our
mid-year examinations, so that is
easily explained.
Since our fall initiation we have
been progressing quietly. Our broth-

us a glowing account of their good
time. We were all envious. There
have been a few items of interest;
one is that Bro. Van Home, '07, son

fortieth aniversary of the founding
of the New York Chapter and the
event was celebrated in good fashion
by a union meeting of the Delta Upsi-
lon club of New York and the New
York University Delta U. asociation
at the University of Pennsylvania
club in the city on the above date. A
large and enthusiastic gathering of
Delta U.'s was there. Including nearly
the whole of the sister chapters. New
York and Columbia. The time was
whiled away in " song, eat and talk."
If you didn't attend, you missed a
good time.
We extend best wishes and frater-
nal greetings to all, and repeat the
invitation, "Come and see us."

me in Texas until after that date.
Whenever I find in my journeyings a

to welcome many Americans during
my service as prime minister, but I
have taken special pleasure In wel-
coming two of the greatest Ameri-

Bowne the scholar."
An official invitation from the
president of the Imperial University
to lecture was followed by a special
escort to the university. In Japan
he is called " the Bvangel of Light."
Following the lecture he was enter-

given in his honor, at which brilliant
compliments expressed high esteem
for this American scholar. In twelve

fore universities, schools and assem-
blies.

SINCE the last issue our Chapter
house at 720 Foster street has
been redecorated and repapered.
After a general house-cleaning a gift
day was held, on which the members
of the Chapter each presented the
house with something that was need-
ed to make the parlors more attrac-
tive.
A recent visit by Bro. Theodore
Whittelsey, a graduate of Williams
College, who holds a chair in the
chemistry department here, was
^uch aprpeciated.
On the night of December 11th
we initiated Bros. Redelings and
Moore. The ceremony took place at
the Chapter house, the charge being
delivered by Bro. Harry E. Smoot,
'03. As this was the second initia-
tion of the year, we were pleased to
see the alumni turn out as well as
they did. A special dinner was
served in the Chapter house imme-
diately before the initiation took
place.
Having played for four years on
the University football team, the stu-
dents have presented Bro. Scott with
a handsome watch fob. The charm
is a solid gold football, containing

presented neither by the unlTersIty
nor by the Athletic association, but
is given directly by the students as a
token of their appreciation, the funds
being raised by folnntary snbecrip-

The wind-up of the football sea-
son gave both Bros. Scott and Oil-
breth claim to the varsity emblem,
an N. No emblem has as yet been
presented to any member of Uie team,
but they will be given soon.
At the annual football banquet
held in the gymnasium, Bro. Gilbreth
was elected captain of the 1906 team.
For two years he has been on the
team, filling sometimes the position
of left tackle and at other times that
of fullback. As tackle his position
was almost invulnerable, and as full-
back he was a constant ground-
gainer, generally being called upon
to make the distance on the third
down. His unanimous election as
captain was one that he well merited
by his steady training and good play-
ing.
On the track squad we are well
represented. Among those of last
year's team, Bros. Scott and Gilbreth
are out again for the weights, while
Bros. Domer and Smoot are doing
good work at the pole vault Among
the new material we are represented
by Bros. Harrold Smoot, Swift and
Redelings.
Bros. Domer and Swift are on the
basket ball team.
The University Glee club has on
its limited roll of membership four
Delta U.'s — Bros. Shumway, Smoot,
Balrd and Redelings.
The annual Junior play will occur
in March. On the cast Bro. Clay
Smoot takes the leading part.
Bro. Scott is a member of the In-
terfrateraity Senior council.
Bro. Schafer has been filling the
posit*on of editor in chief on the uni-
versity paper, "The Northwestern,"
since Thanksgiving. Bro. Domer is
serving on the repotorial staff.
At the annual election of officers
of the Deutsche Gesellschaft, Bro.
Schafer was reelected treasurer.
Preparations are under way for

THIS writing finds every one deep
in his mid-winter's work, but
in spite of the aparent unbroken rou-
tine of this time of the year there are
plenty of interests requiring the stu-
dents' attention.
Just at present every one is inter-
ested in the movement to secure a
students' building for the university.
Tho need of this has been felt for
some time, and from all indications
such a building may be realized in the
near future. The plans include a
considerable expenditure in order to
secure a building of such a nature
as to be a credit to the university.
Another matter of particular inter-
est to fraternity men is the intro-
ducing of a bill into the State Legis-
lature providing for the leasing of
building sites on the campus to the
different fraternities. It is hoped to
have this bill passed at the present
session of the Legislature, and should
this occur it would mean a great step
forward in fraternity life at the uni-
versity.
Our football season closed on
Thanksgiving day with the Indiana
game, which was one of the best
games of the year, although result-
ing in our defeat This and the Mich-
igan game were the only defeata of
the season, which was one of the
most successful in the history of the
school.

•81 — ^Waldo O. Morse, a lawyer,
with ol&ces at No. 10 Wall street,
who has lived in Yonkers for many
years and made a study of transit
franchises as granted by this State,
is at the head of a radical system by
which prominent citizens of Yonkers,
aroused by the wretched trolley ser-
vice which the city receives, have or-
ganised for the purpose of petition-
ing the legislature to annul the char-
ter of the local road and turn over
its tracks and franchises to the new
company by condemnation proceed-
ings. Startling as the plan is, Mr.
Morse, who is acting as counsel for
the dissatisfied Yonkers citizens, has
evolved a method of procedure which
seems to be brand new in municipal
government.
Those who will back the new com-
pany which hopes to wrest the tran-
sit franchises of Yonkers from the
hands of the Belmont-Ryan monop-
oly say that the franchises of street
railroad corporations are not exclu-
sive in this State, and that competing
companies may be authorized to run
cars over existing tracks. To prove
this startling assertion it is said that
no corporation in the State of New
York enjoys an exclusive franchise
by force of law in view of the provi-
sion of the constitution, in force
since 1872, which says that the leg-
islature shall not pass a private or
local bill granting to any private cor-
poration, association or individual
any exclusive privilege, immunity or
franchise whatever.
The dissatisfied citizens of Yonkers
maintain that the lei^slature, upon
evidence that the Union Railroad
company is not giving proper 8er>
vice, may authorize the municipality,
or any individual or corporation, to

operate vehiciles over any public

pal or legislative commission.

SINCE our last letter much has
happened of importance both
to the university and the Chapter.
Of the former, the record of the foot-
ball team was perhaps the most in-
teresting to the students. After win-
ning every match in the Intercolle-
giate Union, the team played Ottawa
City "Rough Riders" for the cham-
pionship of Canada before the largest
and most enthusiastic crowd ever
i66
THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
gathered in Toronto. The yarslty
team» who won on condition and
brains, were managed and captained
till the last game by MacPherson, '07.
The students of the faculty of arts
and applied science were in a con-
dition of unrest, if not absolute insur-
rection, for a large part of the past
term, owing to the action of the dis-
cipline committee. Two years in
science were in fact out on strike for
some time. Tne troubles are set-
tled now and we all look for a re-
organization of the disciplinary
methods in the near future. A com-
mission was appointed some time ago
by the government to make a thor-
ough study of the situation in this
and other large institutions and re-
port exhaustively, recommending
necessary changes. The commission
has Just finished hearing suggestions
et cetera, and expects to report soon.
Bro. MacCurdy, '66, and Bro. Mac-
kenzie, '96, were members of the ath-
letic commission appointed by the
main body to consider the athletic
situation.
Hockey is the only game at To-
ronto now. Unfortunately up to the
present the winter has been so miid
that ice has been scarce and the team
without proper practice. This is par-
ticularly hard luck, as we have bet-
ter material than ever before, per-
haps. Bros. Thoms, '07; Harold
Clark, '09, and Herbert Clark, '08,
are on the team.
As was stated in the last letter,
we had good hopes of landing new
men. As a matter of fact, our suc-
cess in rushing was beyond our ex-
pectations, as the above list shows.
This was particularly encouraging
since it was the first year that we
have attempted serious and system-
atic rushing.
A committee has had In prepara-
tion for some time a pamphlet deal-
ing with the general history and con-
dition of the Chapter, to be distrib-
uted to all the alumni. A copy will
also be sent to every chapter. It is
expected that it will be ready in a
few days.
Our annual dance was held on No-
vember 23 with its usual success.
The Chapter is, according to many
alumni, in a stronger position than
ever before.

Since writing our letter three im-
portant events have occurred that
necessitate a postscript.
On the 26 th of January, Toronto
met McGill in their first hockey
match together, and contrary to most
expectations defeated them nicely,
thus placing the standing of the
league a three-cornered tie. The
work of our representatives was
specially commended by the press.
The following night saw the annual
dinner of the Chapter. It was very
successful, there being about sixty
present. One noticeable feature was
the good speaking of the new mem-
bers. It augurs well. We were glad
to have with us Bro. McCuaig of Mo-
OIll, the manager of the hockey team,
who stayed over for dinner.
The award for the Rhodes scholar-
ship has just been announced, and we
are all rejoicing in the success of
Bro. R. C. Reade, '05, who captured
the coveted honor. The last Rhodes
scholar from Toronto was Bro. B. R.
Paterson, '02, who has distanced all
competitors in tennis at Oxford. Bro.
Reade makes the fourth D. U. schol-
arship winner to go to Oxford in five
competitors. He has a brilliant rec-
ord behind him in scholarship, ath-
letics and literary work.

JUST at present we are taking a
greatly needed rest after a
strenuous attack of exams. But we
have been very busy during the last
few weeks in tne various branches of
college activities.
On the senior elections Bro. Stone,
'06, made the commencement com-
mittee, and Bro. Holman, '06, the
picture committee. In the junior
elections Bro. Wilson, '07, was elect-
ed vice-president and Bro. McMi-

baseball manager has been very busy
with making arrangements for the
Bowdoin minstrels, the proceeds of
which go to the baseball association.
Our men showed the proper Delta

there being twelve men in the
chorus and one endman, from this
chapter. The endman Bro. Kings-
ley, '07, made a decided hit with his
jokes, and in his specialty "Uncle

ing the house in constant laughter.
The show was a success in every way
and the proceeds amounted to $100.

THE JEROME-HUGHES BANQUET-
By Arthur C. Perry, Jr., New York, '92, Historian,
C UCH a meeting as the testimonial banquet to Brothers William Travers
^ Jerome, Amherst, '82, and Charles E. Hughes, Brown, '81, given
by the Delta Upsilon Qub of New York on March 23, 1906, would
tax the descriptive powers of even the best of reporters. The ability of
your Historian being extremely limited he was glad to sub-let his contract
and muster in several good brothers to cover the details. He acknowl-
edges their help and, in addition, the aid of Bro. J. B. Richardson,
Williams, '00.
It was one of the most notable gatherings of college men New York
has ever witnessed. The royal banquet hall of the Hotel Savoy was
taxed to the limit of its capacity by the 238 Delta Upsilon men from the
five quarters of the globe (four quarters in the United States and one in
(^anada, if you question my artithmetic). Just the right kind of a dinner
— the kind that we expect at the Savoy — was served to us, and yet I
wonder if any of us, considering our appetite for the intellectual feast,
k-new or cared what we were eating.
After the invocation by Brother Ezra S. Tipple, D.D., Syracuse, '84,
we started in upon the meal to the usual accompaniment of fraternity
songs and chapter cheers. Not more than three courses had been served
when Toastmaster Starr J. Murphy, Amherst, '81, introduced Brother
Hughes, explaining that, owing to the great pressure of his work, the
Armstrong Insurance Committee at that moment being in session at his
home, he could be present only a few minutes.
CHARLES K HUGHES WAS BRIEF.
Brother Hughes spoke with his customary charming directness,
expressing his thanks for the reception accorded him and his regrets
that important duty prevented his remaining throughout the evening.
"I have exceeded my loading," he said, "and the contingent reserve is
far from adequate." His serious theme was Delta Upsilon as the first
and foremost influence of his own early life, but his remarks sparkled
In justice to the special reporters we must express our regret thmt Imdc of space necessitated a
libera] use of the blue pencil.— Bi>.
174 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
with witticisms from beginning to end. The head table was referred
to a conjunction of luminaries and the star (Brother Murphy) ; the audi-
ence as a distinguished array or policy-holders; and the advertising
section of Brother Ridgway's magazine as an inflamed appendix.
Looking at the District Attorney, Brother Hughes said : "I used to
meet my friend, Mr. Jerome, at Amherst, where he conducted 'Jo'^^ Doe
proceedings' in defiance of the faculty — the proceedings that have made
his administration so successful." In closing he said: "Heretofore I
have paid annual dividends to this club, but tonight for the first and
only time in my life I must declare myself in favor of a deferred divi-
dend policy." Brother Hughes' speech brought every man to his feet,
and prolonged cheers greeted Brother Ridgway's toast to "the next
Governor of New York."
"I attribute your good wishes to the spirit of fraternity and good
fellowship," said Brother Hughes, with instant self-possession. "I must,
however, leave political aspirations where they belong," and looked
toward District- Attorney Jerome and Lieutenant-Governor Bruce.
Brother Hughes' words seemed to electrify the atmosphere and
throughout the evening, from speech to speech, the intangible current
passed with magnetic might, stirring each speaker to his best effort
Brother Erman J. Ridgway, Northwestern, '91, gave one of his
characteristic speeches, a combination of enthusiasm and reserve, optim-
ism and pessimism, sarcasm, humor and seriousness.
PRESIDENT RIDG^AY^ ADDRESS OF ^TELGOME.
"As president of the Delta Upsilon Qub it gives me great pleasure
to greet you, although my enjoyment was partially spoiled when I learned
that I was not to be toastmaster. The Executive Committee has played
Senate to my Roosevelt, and I have to submit Jerome told the Com-
mittee he would come only on condition that Ridgway was not toast-
master, although I could have introduced Jerome as well as I did Lawson
at the St. Louis meeting.
"At that time I said: "When the country needed a Father, Wash-
ington was raised : when the country needed Liberty, Lincoln was raised :
and now in its dire extremity, the country has raised Lawson.' And
then Jerome arose and said, 'Evidently Lawson has been raised to raise
Hell.'
"In addition to the large crowd here, there is one Delta U. man I
should like to welcome, and that is Brother Rupert Hughes. He writes
me he is on the road with his successful play, and that he is having
the trouble that all of us men of talent have — the critics look at the
defects with a microscope and then tell about them through a megaphone.
THE JEROME-HUGHES BANQUET. 175
"We magazine men are hearing from the critics. I have an idea that
the general impression is abroad that some periodicals are in somewhat
bad business. It's about the turn of the magazines to get what's coming
to us but while we're getting it I don't think we'll keep as still as some
people who have been getting it from us. Back of all this publicity
for high crimes and misdemeanors there is purpose beyond advertising.
"But to return to dub matters. This gathering is one for the admin-
istration to be proud of. The club has seen nothing like it since the
convention banquet in 1903.
"Again I welcome you and again I say I am sorry I am not toast-
master ; for I would introduce Jerome as a man with his heart on his left
side, his conscience on both sides, his head balanced in the middle, and
red blood according to the white man's standard."
Reported by W. W. Jackson, Columbia, '92.
President Ridgway then introduced the toastmaster. Brother Mur-
phy, who began by saying: "The toastmaster's position is a cinch. He
sits up here among the wax works — " and the laughter prevented the
completion of the sentence. After telling several entertaining stories he
read telegrams of greeting from the Indiana Alimini Association and
from the Delta Upsilon Qub of Philadelphia, both assembled at their
annual banquets. After mentioning District Attorney Jerome's two per-
sonal victories for civic righteousness he said that Brother Jerome
needed no formal introduction.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME'S SPEECH.
Without giving Brother Jerome's entire speech it would be impossi-
ble to do it justice. He opened his mind to his friends and brothers in
Delta Upsilon in regard to many questions now uppermost in the current
thought in connection with his own official position. That portion of the
I)ress, commonly termed yellow, which has been assailing him in his
conduct of the office of District Attorney was completely routed.
Received with a storm of enhusiastic applause. Brother Jerome began
with a glowing tribute to Charles E. Hughes.
"I have one regret," he said, "that Brother Hughes could not be
with us. For as far as my voice can carry any approbation of him as a
man and a lawyer and of the work he could do, I not only wanted to
say it, but I wanted to say it to his face. It is an easy thing to conduct
an investigation for a legislative committee. Every man is at the mercy
of its counsel. But the magnificent restraint, the lawyer-like and man-
like way in which Mr. Hughes conducted that investigation, never for
one moment descending to cheap claptrap plays, can never be forgotten.
"No tribute that can be paid him would be adequate. He had ever
before him the approbation of his professional brethren and not the
approbation of the yellow press, and that brings me to that situation
176 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
now confronting us about which I want to say a word as to our duty
as educated men toward public opinion.
"Public opinion goes hither and yon like a ship, but in the long
course of time it is sweet and sane and sound and will make its port;
but it lies to you to see that its tacks are no longer than they ought
to be. It is wasted power, that sentiment of the community that goes
up one trail and back again to another. Today all through this nation
what do we find — 2l case of absolute hysteria.
"Gentlemen, no nation ever built its national life on the warp and
woof of perjury, tort and larceny; and yet today you would think that
this g^eat country we love was setting its course on this foundation.
"David Graham Phillips is now writing about the 'Treason of the
Senate' for a magazine. Treason is an ugly word. It is punishable by
death. We have got so used to superlatives that our own racy tongue
has become debauched and we have no superlatives left. The Senate of
the United States — is it a treasonable body?
"Because some men are there who ought not to be there — some who
bought the position — shall we say that the governors of our body politic
are guilty of treason? Base men are there, but when in the bright,
breezy sentiments of modern newspaper life you assert there is treason,
you either lie or misconceive the meaning of the English language. * *
"Much of this," he continued, "is due to the newspapers, and again
not. In this community one or two stand out as vultures that seek their
carrion, and seek it with a sense of recognition. The others try to be
clean. But standing before them is the financial success of these two.
The people demand hot stuff at so much per, and their needs are met by
a class of publications whose text is dictated by their counting rooms
and by their counting rooms alone.
"Many of the good ones go wrong at times, but I believe that the
press as a whole strives to do right and voice public sentiment.
"I have no words but words of praise for the honest papers. In our
days criticism of public officers is right — stinging criticism if it is just,
and he who is not a fool can learn from it And if he is a fool and
cannot learn he ought to take his medicine."
Referring to the insistence of the press that the trustees of the life
insurance companies be indicted for misappropriation of the funds of the
a)mpanies, and to his own stand on this question. Brother Jerome said :
"How far this hysteria has gone ! See in this moming^s paper the
words of men like Roger Pryor, a former Judge of the Supreme Court,
a good man, upright man, I believe, but swept off his feet. An educated
man feeding fuel to a flame which may be just or may not be just
"There is only a handful of men iti this community today who
know whether it is just or not. He says that Section 544 of the Penal
THE JEROME-HUGHES BANQUET. 177
("ode says that this is a crime. He is willing to talk so carelessly of
the reputations of his fellow-men that he forgets to put into his state-
ment that that section says : Trustees appointed by will, deed, order of
the court, or other instrument in writing,' none of which Trustees of
insurance companies are. Careless, you say, for a former Judge of the
Supreme Court to do such a thing?"
Speaking of Alton B. Parker, former Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, he continued : "He goes down among our Southern brethren and
says the way to convict is to convict — note the judicial note. He says
there is not a Grand Jury that would not indict these men. Gentlemen,
it is because the Grand Jury would indict these men with or without
evidence that there is one public official in New York who will not
{♦ermit them to indict them without good and legal evidence.
"I am going to see that those who violate the criminal law shall be
punished, but the way to convict is by evidence.
"I feel bitterly, my friends, in one way — not personally, but I feel
bitterly that my people should be swept off their feet by such circtun-
stances as these. Conceive how little the educated man thinks when an
editor writes an editorial addressed to the District Attorney appealing
to him on his reputation. The District Attorney who does anything in
his work with a view to enhance his reputation does worse than wrong;
he does something for which he should be removed, for he commits a
crime'.
"Gentlemen, it is up to you. I leave with you a sentiment in which
I hope you will all join in this crisis: Not halt, but steady!"
Reported by Edward H. Brush^ Columbia, '87.
The day following the dinner all the papers published Brother
Jerome's speech, some of them giving a resume of parts of it, apparently
colored by a feeling that in his criticisms of certain "yellow journals" he
liad attacked the press as a whole. But after a day for reflection opinion
seemed to change as was shown by an editorial in the Times which
began:
"Mr. Jerome's phillipic at the dinner of the Delta Upsilon Qub was
a notable symptom of the rising reaction against yellowness in speech
and writing, against excess in thought and act, against the hysteria
lately prevailing. * * * Mr. Jerome * * is a natural and quali-
fied spokesman against these outbreaks of perfervid passion. * * *
They have deserved Mr. Jerome's words of censure."
In introducing Lieutenant Governor M. Linn Bruce, Rutgers, '84,
the toastmaster recalled the fact that Delta Upsilon was the first Greek
letter fraternity to give a President to the United States, Garfield,
WUliams, '56.
178 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BRUGES TRIBUTE.
Brother Bruce also had a word to say of Brother Hughes, remarking
that however much or little he was known by the people and the press
before the insurance inquiry, "Charley Hughes was no stranger to the
bar and the bench of the State." He made a stirring address comparing
the political conditions of thirty years ago unfavorably with those of the
present day. His optimism was shown dearly throughout his speech.
In closing Brother Bruce said : "Whatever I am so far as a college man
and a professional man is due to the influence thrown about me in my
undergraduate days by my brothers of the Rutgers Chapter of Delta
Upsilon."
THE OTHER SPEAKERS*
Deputy Commissioner of Police, William Mathot, New York,, '91,
compared the conditions of public affairs in the United States with those
existing in England, France, Germany and Italy, where the possibilities
of corruption, due to the lack of publicity and connivance of government,
far exceeded anything to be found here, and the exposure of secret g^aft
by the press in this country was some compensation for the evils of
intemperate public clamor and journalistic hysteria. He would impress
upon his brethren the necessity of beginning at the foundation of society,
the home, the teaching of children the principles of right living, so that
they might g^ow up with high ideals of conduct, and not with the idea
that everything depended upon money and success. With such moral
tiaining in our homes, the g^aft and corruption found in public affairs
would be impossible.
Major-General Henry C. Merriam, U. S. A., Colby, '64, expressed
his thanks for the welcome extended him, both personally and on behalf
of his branch of the service. Before going to college, his parents had
admonished him above all things always to be open and frank, and Delta
Upsilon, with its principles of justice and non-secrecy had from the first
attracted him. All through life in the army and elsewhere, he had
found that non-secrecy was always best in tfie end. "The soldier of
Delta Upsilon," he said, "bears the motto, 'Ouden Adelon* on his shield
and *Dikaia Upotheke' on his sword; he goes straight into the face of
the enemy and 'Hughes' his way to victory."
Charles L. White, LL.D., Brown, '87, President of Colby, spoke to
us of the snow and ice of his home state, Maine, and of its "furtail"
climate. He gave us an account of his reception on the eve of his inaugu-
lation and recounted briefly the history of the chapter in war times, when
it had to close its hall because all its members (including General Mer-
riam) enlisted for the war. He compared Delta U. to the summit of
an Alpine mountain, with a wide spreading view on all sides. In like
manner Delta Upsilon widens the horizon. The ambition of the Delta
THE JEROME-HUGHES BANQUET. 17^
U. man is to do something. His aim is not success, but service, and
with such men as Hughes and Jerome to carry on that ideal he found no
room for discouragement, no ground for hysteria.

THE CROWD.
Well, it was a crowd — ^a good big, jolly old time Delta U. crowd — a
sight to make a man's heart glad. The old fellows were back in large
numbers, reviving memories with a zest and the younger men were out
iu force and all chock full of enthusiasm and delight at the conspicuous
success of the affair.
The speakers' table was decorated with a border of college pennants.
It was inspiring to see the line of strong, forceful men of the day at this
long board, while the laughing, chatting groups of alumni and under-
graduates at the many small tables formed an attractive picture.
We were all glad to be there to mingle in the college yells, to sing
the songs ; to march in the parade around the banquet room ; to hear the
thoughts of brainy men and to feel afresh the throb and beat of royal
brotherhood.
It was worth the price of the dinner just to feel the friendliness of

WORDS FROM THE ABSENT ONES.
Letters of congratulation were received from many alumni and
clubs, all expressing regret at being unable to attend. Telegrams were
read from the Delta Upsilon Qub of Philadelphia and the Indiana
Alumni Association.
President W. H. P. Faunce, D.D., LL.D., of Brown University,
wrote from Kentucky:
"Profoundly I regret that absence In the South will prevent my presence
at the Delta Upsilon dinner to Charles E. Hughes and William Travera
Jerome. I have written before this to each of them my deep sense of the
distinguished public service he has rendered. E^specially I regret that I
cannot be there to say a word regarding my life-long friend, Charles B.
Hughes. It seems only yesterday that he and I were college students
together, roomng in Old Hope College, and dreaming of the years before
us. During the last ten years I have frequently said he was the ablest
lawyer of his age in New York but I did not know whether the world
';vould ever find it out. But the world has now discovered him. No other
name is known to the people of the United States so well as his, save the
name of President Roosevelt. His is no transient fame, no wave of popu-
larity. His is the gratitude of all honest men, 1. e., of 99 out of 100 of the
American people. He has done very much to quell the anarchy born of
injustice, and to still the social discontent which has justly been roused in
the presence of corporate falsehood and greed. Let every Delta U. man.
stand by him with a tangible sympathy which shall nerve his arm when the
next blow is to be struck."
Major Holman Day, Colby, '87, who was entertaining Mr. Jerome
K. Jerome and Mr. Charles Battell Loomis, wrote :
"It is with deep regret indeed that I am forced to inform you that I
cannot be in New York Friday evening. I can conceive of no grreater pleas-
ure than the one in store for those fortunate enough to meet and listen to
the gentlemen whom you have named in your letter."
From Bishop Henry Spellmeyer, D.D., LL.D., New York, '66,
writing from Kansas under date of March 2, 1906:
THE JEROME-HUGHES BANQUET. i8i
"I would be glad to hear our Brothers Hughes and Jerome speak for
both of them greatly honor our Fraternity. My best wishes for the success
of the dinner."
The thirteen members of the Oxford University Delta Upsilon Qub
showed that distance had not lessened their interest, by writing:
"Having heard of the dinner to be given by the New York Delta Upsilon
Club to two most Intrepid Delta Upsilon men, we, as brothers In the Oxford
University Delta Upsilon Club, deem It a privilege and honor, on this occa-
sion to extend to Brothers William Travers Jerome and Charles B. Hughes,
and to their hosts, our heartiest congratulations. We recognize. In common
with all, how signal a service these two brothers have rendered to the cause
of social progress. Although we are In a foreign land at Bngland'e most
ancient university, we derive our chief inspiration from the example of such
Delta Upsilon men, and feel an ever Increasing gratitude to that Fraternity
which they have so conspicuously honored.

NEWS FROM THE PAOFIC COAST*
Berkley, Cal., April 26, 1906.
Dear Brother Goldsmith :
I am sending herewith a few items of alumni news. I had
quite a number of items for you but they went up in smoke, so I guess
you'll have to be content this time with what I am sending. I am sending
}ou the chapter house article. Excuse the use of red ink. My type-
written copy was lost in the earthquake shuffle, and my black ink as well.
As far as I know, no serious damage was done either the California
or Stanford houses by the earthquake nor have I heard of any of the
fraters being killed or injured, although it is of course pretty soon yet
to hear from everyone.
Stanford has closed until next September. California has practically
closed. All the Seniors in good standing will be graduated without
i84 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
examinations. Very little damage was done by the earthquake at Gili-
fomia, but the damage at Stanford was very severe. The University of
California Gidets have been doing splendid service.
Yours fraternally,
R. L. Langworthy.
Stanford University, Cal., April 27, 1906.
Dear Brother Goldsmith:
I am enclosing a very short chapter letter and a very short
leport of conditions at Stanford. I would like to be able to send a longer
report and a better chapter letter, but we are all too busy to write more
than a few words.
Your letter of sympathy was greeted with a hearty round of applause
when read at the breakfast table this morning. And the baker's dozen
oi us who are still here at Stanford send our thanks as well as the appre-
ciation of the whole Chapter.
It is hard for us of Stanford to realize that we have suffered very
little. As we escaped into the street in the early morning and watched
the buildings of the university topple and fall, it seemed as if our world
were crumbling to pieces, as if there could be no greater desolation than
ours. But our loss has faded before the greater woes of our neighbors.
In seeing and trying to alleviate the terrible suffering of the people of
San Francisco we have found that our troubles are very slight.
On the campus only two lives were lost. At Encina Hall one man
was killed by the falling of a large ornamental chimney, and when the
great stone stack of the Engineering Building fell it killed one of the
engineers.
The Memorial Church, which cost $1,200,000, was wrecked by the
tailing of its tower. The Memorial Arch was shaken to pieces. The
new Library and Gymnasium buildings, valued at $750,000 and $500,000
respectively, are utter wrecks as the enclosed pictures show. The Chem-
istry Building is seriously damaged, but only a small amount of appar-
atus was destroyed. Part of the Outer Quadrangle will have to be
rebuilt, but the "Inner Quad" is almost intact. Encina Hall and Roble
Hall, the large dormitories are only slightly injured, and of the fraternity
houses and dwellings the Chi Psi is the only one seriously damaged.
President Jordan, talking to the men of the university a few hours
after the earthquake, said : **The real University consists of the profes-
sors and the students." Stanford University, then, is uninjured. The
laboratories and class-rooms are among the least injured of the build-
ings, the grejitest damage being confined to the uncompleted buildings
and the ornamental structures. As far as instruction is concerned we
THE NEW SONG BOOK 185
will be next August exactly where we were last week. But the "Stone
Age," instead of being ended, will last for another decade.
Our Chapter has not suffered at all. The Chapter House, which
was built under the personal supervision of Brother A. B. Clark, Syra-
cuse, '88, is so solidly constructed that the only damage it sustained was
the loss of a few yards of plaster and the tops of three chimneys.
We have not heard directly from the California Chapter but, know-
ing that Oakland and Berkeley are practically uninjured, we feel no
anxiety about them.
Yours fraternally,
D. M. Greer.
With the closing of Stanford University work upon the restoration
cf the damaged buildings has already begun. In Dr. Jordan's quiet
statement, "I get a little tired sometimes, but it is all right," the whole
situation is summed up. Stanford will be rebuilt, and in the same plod-
ding way it was built before, on the income of its endowment alone, little
by little through the years. — Oakland Tribune,
THE NEW SONG BOOK.
Haddon Heights, N. J., April 16, 1906.
Dear Brother Editor:
Let me talk about the new Fraternity song book in the form of a
[>ersonal letter, for then we can gossip to our hearts' content, without
having the sword of some critical Damocles over our heads, ready to
drop if we let down the bars of correct essay form. Writing correct
essays, however, isn't half as enjoyable as planning about the new song
book.
Every one had felt for a long time that the old book was a little
short in the sleeves and threadbare for a growing, prosperous Fraternity,
but it was not until last vear that the Convention advised a new outfit.
Whether the Executive Council, in choosing the editor for this book,
was inspired or misguided, a few months will show, but let me tell you
confidentially, that any evil influence can be easily neutralized by sending
in such a deluge of good songs that his own limitations will be lost sight
of in a glorious glare of real inspired ditties.
If the new song book is to have one dominant note, it is hoped that
it will be that of comprehensiveness in expressing the broad idealism
and varied traditions that cluster about the Fraternity's history and
growth, as well as expanding the usefulness of her songs to reach the
chapters from coast to coast. Each chapter has been asked to pay its
tithe in songs, and a labored pilgrimage through the vast tomb-like
i86 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
vastes of the Decennial rewarded my eyes with the vision of "men who
have done things" in verse. These have been pleaded with to invoke
their Muses to glorify Delta U. Several have signified their willingness,
a few have already sent in the finished product, and others have sadly
confessed being divorced from the flame of youthful days. All, however,
are a unit in saying they are glad to know that a new book is projected.
Favorable answers promising co-operation, and enthusiasm shown in
the collaboration by various chapter representatives, make a successful
book a certainty. Not only will it be replete with songs of the right
kind but the artistic features are being carefully studied and worked
out. One portion of the book will contain the "one leading song" of
every Delta U. college, enabling us in times of general assemblies, or
when far-off brothers are visiting us, to attest the highest kind of college
loyalty by voicing others' songs.
At the present rate of progress the book will be out in time for
the "Fall Opening," or at the latest, for the annual Convention,^ when
we can "whoop 'er up for Delta U." The work is being held up some-
what by several laggard chapters who have withheld data for which they
have been solicited. I am confident, however, that they will shortly
wake up.
The book will be financed by the Executive Qjundl, and as it means
an outlay of about a thousand dollars, tlie need of prompt action by the
chapters in taking the books is apparent, so that a large sum of money
v/ill not be tied up for any length of time. The chapter assistants who
have ably and loyally assisted me so far, I am sure will urge this neces-
sity upon their own quota of men. Advance subscriptions for the book
can be sent to me direct by alumni.
In conclusion, let me urge every man who can burnish up a rhyme
to try his hand for Delta U. There's always room for one.
Fraternally,
William Otto Miller^ Pennsylvania, '04
THE COMING CONVENTION-
T UST before commencement time pamphlets will be sent all the chap-
^ ters, regarding the Middlebury convention, and it is urged that
each chapter stir up its undergraduates and alumni to attend this con-
vention, for Middlebury desires to be hospitable to the largest crowd in
the history of the fraternity. October 24, 25 and 26 are the dates set,
and all business sessions will be held in Middlebury, Vt. This town is
situated in the Champlain Valley, one hundred thirty miles from Montreal,
two hundred miles from Boston, two hundred sixty-seven miles from
New York, and one hundred eight miles from Troy; and with fast
MR. JEROME AND THE THUGS 187
through trains and the rates low, we look for many more than the regular
delegates. Arrangements have been made for housing all visitors com-
fortably and prices will be so low that no brother can afford to stay
away. The Yankee undergraduates have devised some unusual features,
and the whole convention will be in contrast with recent city meetings.
All visitors are asked to remain over Saturday, October 27th, when it
is planned to hold a "fraternity hunt in the wilds of the Green Mountains ;
the brothers will be permitted to shoot at anything in sight, including
each other, and the day will be ended by a game dinner at a famous old
\'ermont inn, followed by a stage ride down the mountains for the
midnight trains. Judge E. R. Sherman and President Fletcher D. Proc-
tor will be present throughout the convention, and, as it is the fiftieth
anniversary of the chapter's foundation, the Middlebury alumni will
attend in numbers.
Samuel B. Botsford, Middlebury, 1900,
Chairman of Committee in Charge.
MR* JEROME AND THE THUGS.
From the Indianapolis News,
The attacks on Mr. Jerome by certain newspapers have been out-
rageous. And speaking generally, it has seemed to us for some time
that public opinion in New York city, if it is at all reflected in the papers,
is exceedingly uncertain and fickle. Here was a man who had done his
duty in office so honestly and bravely that the people of New York with-
out distinction of party re-elected him, and they did it although the man
had no party organization behind him. Then all at once because this
man differs with certain popular opinions as to what the law is, and
refuses to take his orders from certain newspapers, he is at once written
down as corrupt, and it is assumed that he believes in such conduct as
that of which the insurance men were guilty. It seems to us that in
this case the community, rather than the officer, is to be condemned.
EDITORIAL.
A FTER a large amount of correspondence the Executive Council has
finally completed the district organization with the exception of
selecting a secretary for one district. The districts with the officers
named are as follows :
District I (New England) — President, Qarence A. Bunker, Har-
vard, '89, 5 Tremont Street, Boston, Mass. ; Secretary, Qifford N. Swan,
Technology, '99, 91 Babcock Street, Brookline, Mass.
District II (New York City, New Jersey, Pennsylvania) — President,
Dr. Albert Warren Ferris, New York, '78, 114 West 69th Street, New
York City; Secretary (to be named.)
District III (New York State, except New York City, and Canada)
— President, Ralph C. Rodgers, Cornell, '05, Ithaca, N. Y., (home
address, 115 Oak St., Binghamton, N. Y.) ; Secretary, A. V. Rowley,
Syracuse, '07.
District IV (Western States except Pacific Coast) — President,
Frank W. Leavitt, Minnesota, '94, "Housekeeper," Minneapolis, Minn.;
Secretary, John F. Moulds, Chicago, '07.
District V (Pacific Coast) — President, Melvin G. Dodge, Hamilton,
90, Stanford University, Cal.
These officials will continue in office until after the next general
convention.
Ti^OST important among the duties of these new fraternity officials is
that of holding district conventions. Evidence accumulates with
each experience that these gatherings are going to be a very strong feat-
ure in the fraternity life hereafter. If too elaborate programs are not
attempted, they will supply a long-needed opportunity for inter-chapter
friendships such as can hardly grow out of the brief fellowship at
national conventions. The reactive effect on the chapters also is bound
to be excellent. Often a chapter gets half isolated as it were. A vague
provincialism of spirit enwraps the members. They come to believe that
the fraternity begins and ends, with the chapter, not pausing to think
that as a local society they would be almost nil in the college world.
^Vttendance at a convention will always dispel such impressions, and it
does not matter much whether the convention be district or national.
EDITORIAL 189
We must, therefore, welcome these right-at-home gatherings as an excel-
lent cure for limited views of fraternity life.
Another and not less important result that will flow from the dis-
trict meetings will be improvements in chapter methods. Out of the
discussions and exchanging of experiences will come ideas that can be
carried away as a common heritage and made the inspiration of new and
larger thoughts in every chapter, more efficient working out of plans
for individual development. It is hard to overestimate the contributions
that might be made in the next few years by the district conventions,
if rightly guided.
'T'HE official ritual now authorized for use by the chapters in their
initiations, was adopted in 1886. This ritual gave excellent satis-
faction for a good many years, but some time since it began to appear
that the fraternity had grown into the need of a better and stronger form.
During the last few years, especially, considerable dissatisfaction with
the old ritual has been manifested, and the desirability of a thorough
!evision of it has been repeatedly urged. At least five chapters have
ceased to use it and have adopted special forms of their own, while
many other chapters have introduced additions and modifications. So
evident was the feeling on the matter that the Committee on Internal
Development reported to the 1904 Convention that it regarded "a revision
of the fraternity ritual as a very urgent need." As recommended by that
Committee, the Executive Council was instructed to proceed with the
work of revision.
The Council has found the task thus set before it one of no small
difficulty, for the requirements of a ritual are hard to meet. It must
be neither too long nor too short; it must be dignified and impressive,
showing excellence in style as well as in thought; it must voice the
lessons of history, and be in keeping with the traditions of our fraternity ;
it must express clearly the principles and ideals of the fraternity ; above
all it must be calculated to leave a deep and abiding and very definite
impression on the minds of the initiates; and to that end it must be so
arranged as to offer a progressive development of a theme — loyalty
to the fraternity, and to its ideals and its traditions. All this demands
hot only the selection and arrangement of appropriate ideas and senti-
ments, but their expression in forceful and graceful language, with
190 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
special need of a careful formulation of principle and precept It
demands as well the introduction of such ceremonial features as will
heighten the desired effect This brief statement will make manifest the
difficulty of the Council's task. And it is because of this difficulty that
the Council is anxious to secure the advantages of advice from the fra-
ternity's members. A request for suggestions from the diapters has
already been made, but the Council will still welcome suggestions as to
the ritual — its form, scope or contents — its general ideas or specific word-
ing — from any member of the fraternity, graduate or undergraduate.
Surely the evident importance to the fraternity of an adequate ritual
should be sufficient to provoke numerous responses to this request, which
will be helpful to the Council in its work. He who has an idea to give,
let him speak!
The present expectation is that the ritual will be in tentative form
before college opens next fall, when copies will be made and sent to
the chapters. The plan is that each chapter shall use the ritual in its
regular initiation, thus forming an opinion of it from actual experience.
With the aid of the criticisms and suggestions which will then be made,
the ritual can be put into final form and submitted to the Convention of
1907 for adoption.
A S directed by the Convention last fall the Executive Council has pre-
pared and put out, in the form of a pamphlet of 66 pages, a
reprint of the important historical material in the Quinquennial of 1884.
The publication of this pamphlet seemed advisable in view of the fact
that about one-half of the chapters do not possess the 1884 Quinquennial,
v/hich contains the most important material ever published in our fra-
ternity history. The Quinquennial being out of print, this material
could not be made available in any other way than by the preparation of
a reprint. Copies of the pamphlet have been sent to each chapter to be
placed in the chapter library; but personal copies may be secured by
any member of the fraternity, at twenty-five cents apiece, from the
Secretary of the Executive Council.
TXTE recommend the Nebraska chapter letter as a good example for
perusal by the chapter editors of some other chapters, not because
of its reference to the Quarterly's behests, but because it is well
arranged, well written and comprehensive. It is free from tiresome
EDITORIAL 191
stock phrases, undignified slang and unexplained local allusions. It was
clearly typewritten with wide lines and broad margins, on heavy paper
of letter size. It was not headed "Chapter Letter" and was not
addressed personally to the editor. There were no slovenly abbrevia-
tions, no misspelled words, no schoolboy flights of rhetoric. We can
say with pleasure that the editors for whose particular benefit this is
written are few — but you may be one of the few.
A BILL was introduced into the recent legislature of the State of
New York "To exempt real estate and personal property of Greek
letter fraternities connected with a college or other institution of learn-
ing, from taxation, and repealing all laws in conflict therewith."
Although Delta Upsilon has eight chapters in New York State,
seven owning houses and one about to purchase, we did not and could
not support the measure as class legislation for the benefit of the few at
the expense of the majority is eminently unfair. A chapter house is no
more entitled to exemption from taxation than a boarding house in a
college town or a student's own home, which might be next door to a
chapter house, and certainly not as much as the house of a college pro-
fessor who is aiding in the cause of learning. We believe heartily in
chapter houses and in paying our own way.
I^ELTA UPSILON has been maturing a plan for the formation and
-*^ preservation of a "Pan Hellenic Fraternity Library," to be located
in the New York Public Library under the care of Dr. Billings, the librar-
ian, who has granted ample space and will bind and preserve the matter
placed in his charge without expense to the fraternities. The plan has been
presented to several faternities who have agreed to co-operate with us.
In the early Fall a communication will be sent out over the signatures of
those who have joined the proposition, asking that all fraternities unite to
make the library complete. All fraternities wishing to join in this work
are requested to write for further information to our Librarian, Wm.

pOR three consecutive issues we have presented a letter from every
chapter. The October issue will be the critical test of the editor's
opinion that it is possible for Delta Upsilon chapter editors to equal the
record of Kappa Alpha and have a volume, and more, with an unbroken
record. Will you be the one to spoil it ?
192 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
THE NEW ENGLAND DISTRICT CONVENTION-
By D. Ashley Hooker, Middlebury, '06.
' I ^HAT the District Convention is a success was proved by its first
"*■ trial, last year. That it must form a permanent feature of the
fraternity was clearly shown by the second annual convention of the New
England District held March 3rd, 1906.
The delegates assembled at the Harvard Chapter House a little
before eleven o'clock and after half an hour pleasantly occupied in intro-
ductions and getting acquainted the convention was called to order by
Brother Clarence Alfred Bunker, Han'ard, '89, president of the district.
Brother Qifford M. Swan, Technology, '99, acted as secretary. A letter
was read from Brother Wilson L. Fairbanks, Tufts, '87, of the Executive
C'ouncil, regretting his inability to be present and outlining the powers
and scope of the convention.
The officers elected for the convention were A. N. Holcombe, Har-
vard, '06, president, and J. R. Williams, Technology, '06, secretary. Reso-
lutions were unanimously passed thanking Brother Bunker for his untiring
efforts in making the convention a success.
Brother Holcombe welcomed the convention in the name of the
Harvard Chapter and in closing said: "For dinner the delegates will be
divided up among the members of the Harvard Chapter." ( !) Brother
Bargfrede, Williams, '09, responded, expressing the appreciation of the
delegates. At the luncheons with the members of the Harvard Chapter
we were given a glimpse into university life.
The first paper of the afternoon session was given by Brother
Prouty, Brozvn, '06, and was upon "Definite Aims in Chapter Work." He
said that every fraternity has a certain character and a prominence in
some line of college activities. With Delta Upsilon it is first character
and second high intellectual attainment. He showed us what could be
accomplished when a chapter has a definite aim by giving us statistics
of the Brown Chapter. In the twenty-six years between 1868 and 1894
the Brown Chapter won in money prizes $4,909, while the other nine fra-
ternities won $5,584, and the non-fraternity men won $3,618. In that
time 87 Delta Upsilon men were elected to Phi Beta Kappa. The chapter
is often asked, he said, how it maintains such a high standard of literary
excellence. This is due to the literary programs, which consist of debates,
extemporaneous speeches, original stories, papers, talks, etc. The critic
brings out in his report the weaknesses and strong points of each speaker.
They succeed in keeping up the interest and everyone feels called upon
to do his best. They emphasize presence at the meetings. He summed
up as essential: (i) Fraternity programs; (2) Compulsory attendance.
During the discussion that followed Brother Carter, of Amherst,
said that there is presented to his chapter every other week a junior paper
THE NEW ENGLAND DISTRICT CONVENTION 193
which contains suggestions to the freshmen and articles written by differ-
ent members of the Junior delegation. Brother Dustin, of Tufts, reported
a Literary Committee and stated that the quality of the literary work
depends upon the personnel of this committee.
The convention was agreeably refreshed by the entertainment fur-
nished them by Brother Osgood, Harvard, '04.
A comprehensive paper on "Chapter Finance" was read by Uroiher
A- H. Donnewald, Technology, '07. This chapter has as officers in
charge of the finances a treasurer and assistant, and a steward and assist-
ant, the treasurer and steward being elected at the end of the first term
and holding office for one year. The treasurer is responsible for closing
the house in the Spring and reopening it in the Fall. Each of these
officers appoints his own assistant, but the appointments must be ratified
by the chapter. As a rule, the assistant is elected to the head of his
department the following year.
The two departments are kept entirely separate. The treasurer is in
charge of the house and its finances while the steward conducts the
finances of the table and the laundry.
The treasurer assigns the rooms at the beginning of the year, giving
the precedence to those who have been longest in the chapter and the
house. The rent is uniform. The chapter dues are separate from room
rent and both are paid for only the eight months of the college year.
Any unusual expense is met by an assessment levied by chapter vote, but
this is seldom necessary. All moneys collected by the treasurer go into
one fund irrespective of their sources. The regular expenditures of
the house department are rent, gas, coal, delegates' expenses, the wages
of a maid, and, in fact, all expenses not directly connected with the
table and laundry.
There is a small house building fund of about two thousand dollars
in the hands of a committee of alumni. The treasurer's department con-
tributes one hundred and ten dollars to this fund each year.
The assistant treasurer handles all money and keeps double entry
books, the treasurer keeping the ledger and having the bank account in
his name. The executive committee audits the books monthly and the
executive committee of the chapter alumni association is authorized to
co-operate in the auditing.
The steward employs a cook and a butler at an expense of about
sixty-five dollars monthly. Fifteen men live in the house, paying five
dollars a week for board. Those not boarding regularly at the house are
charged a fixed amount for each meal. A separate charge is made for
laundry.
The assistant keeps the cash book and the steward the journal. All
bills are paid by check and the books are audited monthly. A report of
receipts and expenses is posted monthly on the bulletin board. The
104 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
department has been self supporting for the past three years, and last
year had a surplus of $250, most of which was used to purchase china,
table linen, etc.
The librarian collects two dollars a year from each member and
this fund is used for the various periodicals and for binding the Quar-
terly and the college paper. It is probable tliat next year the monthly
dues will be raised to five dollars and the library tax, general fraternity
tax and Prudential committee assessment paid out of the fund of the
house department. There will then be only four items to be collected
each month : room rent and dues by the treasurer and board and laundry
bv the stew^ard.
Brother Carter, Amherst, '05, gave a talk on "Vital Factors in
Effective Rushing. He spoke of the service the alumni papers had been
to his chapter this year, and said that the system needs to be extended
and perfected. It is wise to have two or three alumni in the house during
the rushing season. He spoke of the value of tact in rushing. Let the
Freshmen feel the bond of brotherhood. But let it be genuine. Don't
pretend to a feeling you haven't, and don't overdo it.
Iwate in the afternoon the convention adjourned. The list of those
in attendance is given with the report of the New England Qub banquet.
THE NEW ENGLAND CXUB BANQUET,
By Guy H. Holliday, Harvard, '89.
T^HE twenty-second annual meeting of the New England Qub of
■*• Delta Upsilon was held at the Copley Square Hotel, Boston, Sat-
urday evening, March third. Knowing, no doubt, that the District Con-
vention would bring delegates from all the New England chapters, the
V. eather man, who sits at tlie top of the postoffice, arranged to show them
one of his best rain storms and added a few extra buckets to the down-
pour at about the hour of tlie dinner. Nevertheless, seventy-seven
brothers representing fourteen chapters sat down together and gave very
audible proof that no amount of rain could dampen their enthusiasm for
Delta U.
At a short business meeting the following officers were elected for
1906-1907:
President, Nathan A. Tufts, Brozmi, '00.
Vice-President, Everett L. Getchell, Colby, '96.
Honorary Vice-Presidents : Chas. L. Edgar, Rutgers, '82 ; Daniel
H. Fuli-er, Brown, '85 ; Wilson L. Fairbanks, Tufts, '87 ; Guy
H. HoLLiDAY, Harvard, '89.
Secretary, Miles S. Richmond, Technology, '99.
Treasurer, Allen P. Soule, Technology, '99.
THE NEW ENGLAND CLUB BANQUET 195
Directors : Clifford M. Swan, Technology, '99 ; Phillip M. Hay-
den, Tufts, '03 ; Joseph W. Cowles, Cornell, '90 ; Herbert L.
Pratt, Williams, '97 ; Rufus H. Kimball, Stanford, '03.
The speaking was informal, as has been the custom of recent years,,
and was under the direction of the President, Brother Guy H. HoUiday,
Harvard, '89. Brother Qifford S. Anderson, Brown, '00, in a speech
m which humor and seriousness were happily blended, drew attention to
some of the duties of our graduates to the Fraternity and to the State.
Brother Harold S. Daming, Harvard, '05, spoke at some length as to
the need of a larger chapter at Harvard and of taking men having
varied interests, academic, social and athletic. He referred to the
Elizabethan play produced each year by the Chapter, and the effect its
preparation had in breaking up and destroying any vestiges of the ice of
formality and diffidence among the members that the "informal initia-
tion" had not disposed of.
Brother Albert A. Gleason, Harvard, '86, then spoke of the early
days of the Qub in his usual easy and interesting style, after which the
President called on a man from each chapter represented to give a brief
account of its present condition and doings. Among the most interesting
of these short speeches were those of Brother Rufus H. Kimball, Stan-
ford, '03, who is president of the Delta Upsilon Qub of the Harvard
Graduate Schools, and Brother John A. Brewer, California, *03.
The President, according to the usual custom, turned the duties and
responsibilities of his office over to Brother Nathan A. Tufts the new
President, who accepted them in a few brief but appropriate remarks, and
after singing the Fraternity Ode, the Qub adjourned.
The list of attendance at the dinner and the district convention makes
a good showing. Those marked with one star were present at the con-
vention; those marked with two stars were at the convention only, and
not at the dinner.

THE DISTRICT CONVENTION AT CORNELL.
THE Canadian and Central New York chapters held their first district
convention with the Cornell chapter on May 4 and 5. The date
makes it impossible to give a full report in this issue.
Brother Ralph C. Rodgers, Cornell, '05, presided. There were dele-
gates from Colgate, Cornell, Hamilton, McGill, Rochester, Syracuse and
Union, Toronto was not represented as examinations were being held.
Each chapter presented an interesting paper followed by general discus-
sion. A fuller report will be published in the next issue.
THE ALUMNI CLUBS*
COLORADO DELTA UPSILON CLUB.
T^HE Q)lorado Delta Upsilon Qub is only two years old but has already
-■" had three "annual banquets." The first was on March the 19th,
1904, at Denver, when the club was organized by the choice of Brother
D. P. Taylor, Middlebury, '96, as President; Brother J. W. Anderson,
Marietta, '79, as Vice-President; and Brother H. W. Pinkham, Brown,
'88, as Secretary and Treasurer. Brothers Taylor and Anderson had
taken the lead in arranging for an organization and, together with
Brother A. L. Patton, Swarthmore, '98, were the committee of arrange-
ments for the first gathering. Twelve brothers responded to the invita-
tions and became the charter members of the new club. Their names
should be on record, and are as follows — in addition to the four above:
Henry Trowbridge, Colby, 83; Henry McAllister, Jr., Swarthmore,
'92; Alfred E. Hills, Northwestern, '83; Caleb D. Page, Cornell, '73;
B. N. Himebaugh, Marietta, '80; Qyde H. Osbom, Stanford, '00; C. P.
\Vay, Swarthmore, '98; O. S. Moore, Marietta, '79.
The second banquet was on the 29th of December, 1904. Fifteen
brothers gathered, the additional ones being President Victor C. Alderson,
Harvard, '85 ; Arthur J. Hoskin, IViscofisin, 'go Benton Overman ; F. D.
Young; Attorney-General N. C. Miller, Northwestern, '81; Rev. J. C.
Carman, Rochester, '84; and J. C. Shedd, Marietta, '91. The Hon.
f lenry McAllister, Jr., acted as toastmaster on this occasion which was
most enjoyable.
The third and last banquet and reunion was the best. It was on
December the 28th, 1905, at the magnificent new Savoy Hotel in Denver.
President David Starr Jordan, Cornell, '72, was the guest of the club.
On account of an engagement which required him to leave early, the
banquet was set for six o'clock. Shortly after that hour eighteen happy
brothers in Delta Upsilon sat down together to enjoy a feast for both the
outer and the inner man. President Alderson, with Dr. Jordan, was at
the head of the table, and with fitting words presented to the company
as the first speaker the distinguished visitor from the Pacific coast. Our
honored guest made a very happy response which was received with
heartv cheers. As Dr. Jordan took his leave the brothers rose and sang
"He's a jolly good felllow."
Before calling for further remarks the toastmaster gave way to the
president of the club, Brother Taylor, for the annual business. The
report of the secretary and treasurer was presented. An election of
officers for the ensuing year resulted in the choice of Dr. Alderson
for President, C. D. Page for VicePresident, and H. W. Pinkham for
Secretary and Treasurer. A committee was appointed to investigate the
198 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
question of securing a foothold for Delta Upsilon in the Colorado colleges^
namely, Brothers Alderson, Anderson, Shedd and Taylor.
Dr. Alderson called on several brothers for speeches and the
responses were admirable. The spirit of brotherhood and of devotion to
Delta Upsilon and her ideals was supreme. Several fraternity songs
were sung with enthusiasm. The company separated before ten o'clock,
every brother having had a jolly good time. The following were present :
Brothers Jordan, Alderson, Anderson, Catlin, Colwell, Croasdale, Hoskin,
Kinne, Moore, Osborn, Page, Pinkham, Patton, Shedd, Smith, Strickland,
Taylor and Trowbridge. A telegram was received from Brother McAllis-
ter explaining his absence, and also a message from Attorney-General
Miller, both of whom had expected to be with us. Adjourned to the next
annual banquet in the holiday season of 1906.
Readers of this Quarterly and chapter corresponding secretaries
are requested to send to the undersigned the names of Delta Upsilon
brothers who are known to have come lately to Colorado, so that they
may be invited to the next gathering of the Club.
Henry W. Pinkham, Secretary,
TRENTON DELTA UPSILON CLUB*
THE second annual meeting and banquet of the Trenton Delta Upsilon
Qub was held on Monday evening, February 27,. at the Trenton
House, Trenton, N. J., and was attended by thirteen enthusiastic men
from Trenton and vicinity, representing seven Chapters. The invitation
list embraced about fifty fellows scattered about the adjoining territory,
outside of New York and Philadelphia, but the short notice was doubtless
the cause of the many regrets. Those who came were :
Lafayette, (5) : John G. Connor, '87, of Trenton, N. J.; F. M. Scheib-
ley, '98, of Philadelphia, Pa. ; Stacy L. Roberts, '04, of Princeton
University; David Styer, '04, of Military Academy, Bordentown,
N. J. ; and Frank R. Bacon, '07, from the active chapter.
Union, (2): Isaac Harby, '95, of Trenton; N. S. Arms, '05, of Kin-
kora, N. J.
Swarthmore, (2) : Owen Moon, Jr., '94, and William M. Muschert, '02,
both of Trenton, N. J.
Hamilton, ( i ) : C. E. Keck, '97, of Riverton, N. J.
Colgate, ( I ) : Dr. A. W. Wishart, '89, of Trenton.
Rochester, (i) : B. Holmes Wallace, '01, of Trenton.
Rutgers, ( i ) : F. C. Van Dyck, '94, of Lawrenceville, N. J.
Bro. Wishart acted as toastmaster and all present responded with
accounts of their chapters in an informal and entertaining manner. The
r^fayette contingent in particular and the Qub in general were happy and
fortunate in having an undergraduate present, Bro. Robert Bacon, '07.
THE ALUMNI CLUBS 199
Bros. Roberts and Scheibley spoke feelingly of the sad death of Bro.
John R. Peale, Lafayette, '02, whom they knew so intimately and loved
so well. Our Qub and Delta Upsilon lost a noble member in the Chinese
massacre.
The following officers were elected: President, Francis C. Van
Dyck, Rutgers, '94; Vice-President, Isaac Harby, Union, '95; Secreary
and Treasurer, Owen Moon, Jr., Swarthmore, '94 ; Executive Committee,
the officers and Bros. B. H. Wallace, Rochester, '01 ; F. N. Scheibley,
Lafayette, '98; John G. Connor, Lafayette, '87.
Fraternity songs and yells were given with the vim of college days
under the leadership of Bro. Styer and upon adjournment about midnight
the meeting and informal gathering was pronounced a great success.
The first Monday in March, 1907, was appointed the date for the
next regular annual meeting and banquet.
Owen Moon, Jr., Swarthmore, '94.
ALBANY DISTRICT CLUB.
T^HE Seventh Annual Dinner and Reunion of the Albany District Qub
■*• of Delta Upsilon was held at the New Kenmore, Albany, New York,
on the evening of March 2nd, 1906. At the business meeting the follow-
ing officers were elected to serve until the next Reunion and Dinner :
Officers : President, Dr. John H. Skillicom, Cornell, '84 ; ist Vice-Presi-
dent, Dr. Charles J. Lyttle, Hamilton, '78; 2nd Vice-President,
Prof. Jared W. Scudder, Rutgers, '83, 3rd Vice-President, Prof.
John M. Sayles, Colgate, '01 ; Secretary and Treasurer, Leopold
Minkin, Union, '01, 2 DeGraff Building, Albany, New York.
Executive Committee: Chairman, Dr. William B. Aspinwall, Harvard,
'96; John F. Putnam, Union, '06; Roy H. Palmer, Williams, '02.
At the dinner, Rev. Edgar H. Brown, President, acted as toastmaster.
Forty members of the Qub were present. As a novelty the identity
of the speakers on the toast list had been carefully concealed and each
introduction by the toastmaster was a source of surprise.
Senator Owen Cassidy, Frank H. Simonds, Lewis Cass, Rev.
Creighton R. Storey, and Rev. William H. Hammersly responded to
toasts. F. L. Wells spoke for the undergraduate chapter at Syracuse,
while Harold A. Nomer brought greetings from Williams, and John F.
Putnam responded for the chapter at Union. Reed, of Union, presided
at the piano and Roy H. Palmer, of Williams, led the singing. The
speeches were inspiring ; the singing was enlivening and it was the unani-
mous verdict that this was the most successful Reunion the Qub has had.
Letters and telegrams of regret were received from many of the absent
members; those from Brothers M. Linn Bruce, Lieut.-Govemor of the
200 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY

DELTA UPSILON CLUB OF WASHINGTON, D. C
'T'HE Delta Upsilon Alumni Association of Washington, D. C, was
■*• organized February i, 1893, by a few sturdy, staunch Delta U.
men, such as the late Weston Flint, Union, '60; Arthur H. Giles, 5*3^0-
cuse, '78 ; Hon. Stephen J. Field, Williams, '37 ; Otis J. Eddy, Hamilton,
'68; Hon. Frank H. Hitchcock, Harvard, '91, and Delbert H. Decker,
Cornell, '84. After an active existence of a few months, the club dis-
banded for lack of support by the members.
But, Vesuvius-like, after a period of inactivity of almost thirteen
years, the spirit of Delta Upsilon again asserted itself and has moved
our men in Washington to reorganization. A few earnest men of the
Chesapeake Qub in Baltimore were seemingly the necessary factors in
persuading and instigating our activity in the Capitol City.
Twenty-two men representing thirteen chapters responded to a call
for an informal meeting in the Raleigh Hotel on March 14, 1906.
Brothers Robert H. Walker, T. Stockton Matthews, G. M. Lamb, Jr.,
Swarthmore, '02, '02 and '00 respectively, and George C. Shepard, Cor-
THE ALUMSl CLUBS joi
nelly '89, of Baltiinore, who have been highly instmmental in our reorgani*
zation, were present at our first meeting and outlined their efforts in the
organization of the CJiesapeake Qub. After a pleasant a-la-carte dinner,
a short business session was held. Col. Weston Flint, Union, 'oo, and
J. G. Sanders, Ohio, '03, were elected respectively President and Secre-
tary pro tern.
Those in attendance at the first meeting were:
Amherst, Harry S. Kimball, 93: Arthur H. Kimball. 97.
Colgate, James W. Many.
Cornell, G. E. Patrick, '73; George C Shepard, '89; Karl F. Keller-
man, '00.
Hamilton, H, C Kieth, '03: T. D. Beckwith, '04.
Harvard, J. A. Hill, '85 ; Perdval Hall, '92.
Middlebury, Albert X. Prentiss, '91.
Minnesota, Frederick P. Fellows, '06.
Ohio State, Rudolph Hirsch, '01 ; J. G. Sanders, '03.
Rochester, Theron Outwater, '75 ; J. Qinton Ransom, '79,
3u*arthmore, Robert H. Walker, '02 ; T. Stockton Matthews., *02 ; G. M.
Lamb, Jr., '00.
Technology, Ferdinand T. Schneider, '92.
Ihiion, Weston Flint, '60.
\Villiams, Dwight Gordon Smith, '96.
At the second meeting of the club on March 28, the following
elections were made : Weston Flint, President ; John H. Olcott, Broztm,
'y2, Vice-President; J. G. Sanders, Ohio, '03; Secretary-Treasurer. At
this meeting the following men were present who were not at the first
meeting: Delbert H. Decker, Cornell, '84; John H. Olcott, Brounu '72 \
Dr. Haven Metcalf, Brown, '96; William A. Slade, Broivn, '98; E, W.
A^arney, Bowdoin, '99; Isaac Hamburger, New York, *8i ; A. T. Stra-
horn, Nebraska, '01.
It is a great sorrow to chronicle the death of our esteemed Presi-
dent, Col. Weston Flint who was widely known throughout the country
as a constant, energetic worker for the uplifting and enlightenment of
his fellow man. Kindness was radiated by his cheerful countenance
through all his walks of life. He was a great lover and student of good
books. A short memorial sketch of the life and activities of Brother
Hint was prepared by Delbert H. Decker and read at our last meeting.
Brother John Olcott succeeds as our president, and Dr. Arthur II.
Kimball, Amherst, '97, was elected to the vice-presidency of our club.
The Secretary would be very grateful if the various chapter cor-
respondents would inform him of the presence in Washington of their
altunni or chapter members. The next meeting of the club will occur
June 6, at the University Qub, i6th and K streets.
202 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
The following resolutions were passed at the last meeting of the
club:
Resolved, That in the death of Mr. Weston Flint, the Delta Upsilon
Qub of Washington has lost not only an efficient and active Presiding
Officer but also an energetic and earnest worker for the Qub and the
Fraternity of which he has been so long a member and to which he has
always been so fondly attached.
Resolved, That the Qub extend to his son, Mr. Weston Brown
Flint, its profound sympathy in this hour of his overwhelming grief and
affliction.
John H. Olcott, President.
J, G. Sanders, Secretary,
CHESAPEAKE CXUB.
/^N April 7th the Qiesapeake Delta Upsilon Qub held its annual reunion
^^ in the Grill Room of Hotel Qiswell, Baltimore. The entire Grill
was reserved for us — sl room of very artistic design in dark wood-work —
but who doesn't know what an up-to-date grill-room looks like! The
features of the occasion were an excellent "Maryland Dinner" of oysters,
shad, etc., served at small tables, and songs and stories in dialect by some

Brother Charles W. Ward, Northwestern, '03, was particularly
entertaining with stories and verse in Irish brogue. About thirty men
were present, including a number of visitors from the Washington Asso-
ciation. The evening was perfectly informal and most enjoyable.

PLAINFIELD DELTA UPSILON ALUMNI CLUB.
Ti^EMBERS of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity of Plainfield and vicinity
•*'^-*" toasted alma mater in good old fashioned way at a banquet held
in Truell Inn, Plainfield, Saturday night, December 23, and fraternal
bonds were made stronger by the organization of the Plainfield Delta
Upsilon Qub. The organization is to be permanent. Gatherings of a
social nature will be held at the homes of the different members during
the year, and a banquet will be held annually.
The following officers were elected : President, Rev. L, R. Howard,
Williams, '98 ; Vice-President, Maurice J. Thompson, Rutgers, '89 ; Secre-
tary, Robert V. Hoffman, New York, '06; Corresponding Secretary,
Lindsey Best, Hamilton, *99; Treasurer, Fullerton L. Waldo, Harvard,
'98. The officers will comprise an executive committee.
The club has an enrollment of thirty members, representing nine
of the thirty-seven chapters of the fraternity, Williams, Harvard, Brown,
THE ALUMNI CLUBS 203
New York, Colgate, Swarthmore, Rutgers, Columbia and Hamilton, and
one representative from the deceased Manhattan chapter. Seventeen
of the members reside in this dty.
The second meeting of the club was held at the residence of Lindsey
Best on February 23. It was a most successful evening's entertainment,
and all of the members present were indebted to Brother Best for a right
good time. The thfrd meeting of the club has just been held at the resi-
dence of J. T. Tubby, Jr., Columbia, '96, Highland Avenue, Westfield,
N. J. Members present expressed satisfaction at the result of the meet-
ing, and it is the intention of the club to meet every two months at the
home of some member.
It is our desire to enroll as many resident members as possible, and
we hope that any Delta U. man living in or near Plainfield who has not
attended these meetings will communicate with the secretary, Robert V.
Hoffman of Westfield, and join us in our gay times at these informal
social affairs.
THE DELTA U. CLUB OF WESTERN CANADA*
At present our club is what one might call in embryo, as we have only
a few alimini resident in Winnipeg, the remainder being scattered over
the broad territories of Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
However, we are now making an endeavor to locate our dispersed breth-
ren in order to weld them into the Delta U. chain across the continent and
to bring them under the refreshing influences of the Quarterly if they
do not already partake of its benefits. In this we feel sure we shall be suc-
cesssful, and with the added strength which the increasing number of
Delta U's coming to our city will g^ve us we hope before long to become
a potent factor in Delta U. doings in Canada. Small as our numbers are
at present, we can assure any wandering brother of a hearty welcome
should he vissit Winnipeg, and we will endeavor to give him a warm
enough reception to at least make him forget his homesickness in a strange
land.
Look up the secretary's address in the Quarterly and let him know
when you are going to arrive. By so doing you will confer a favor on all
of us and incidentally give the Western Canada Delta U. club an excuse
for existing. If you drop in for one of our monthly meeting^ so much
the better.
News of any of our brethren located in the West is solicited.
C. S. Blanchard, Secretary.

OBITUARIES
WILMOT M. SMITH, CORNELL, 74.
Wilmot M. Smith, B. S., justice of the New York Supreme Court in
the second judicial district, died at his home in Patchogue, L. I., Thursday,
March 29. He was fifty-four years old.
He had served with distinction on the Supreme Court since 1895, and
\\as held in the highest respect and esteem by his contemporaries and by
members of the bar. He was noted for his whole-hearted democracy and
untiring courtesy toward all lawyers who had occasion to practice in his
courts.
He was born in 1852 in Smithtown on Long Island, where his ances-
tors had lived for more than two centuries. After attending the public
schools he entered Cornell and was editor of tlie Era. Graduating in
1874, he returned to Smithtown, studied law and was admitted to the
bar in 1877. In 1884 he was elected district attorney of Suffolk County
and was re-elected three years later, serving until 1890. He was Suffolk
County Judge from 1891 to 1895, and was then elected a Supreme Court
Justice.
Justice Smith was much loved and respected in Patchogue, where
he lived. He was noted for his charities, which he bestowed very unos-
tentatiously.
It is related of him that while he was serving as County Judge in
Suffolk, in February, 1894, he refused to accept an increase of salary
when it was offered him by the Board of Supervisors, telling the Board
that it would be out of proportion to what the other county officers were
receiving, and that their salaries in all fairness would have to be increased
also.
On the day of his death all the higher courts in Brooklyn were
adjourned out of respect for his memory, and bench and bar vied with
each other in their tributes to the dead jurist. In entertaining a motion
for adjournment in part one of the Supreme Court in that city, Justice
W. J. Kelley said :
"In putting the motion the court desires to express the deep sorrow
felt by the entire bench, in common with the bar of the district, on receipt
of the intelligence that has come this morning. The people have lost a
conscientious, a faithful and an able judge. The bench and bar have
loi»t a dear friend, a man who, I believe, in the course of his life never
intentionally hurt the feelings of a human being. If that be the indica-
tion of a true gentleman, as some say. Judge Smith was indeed a gentle-
man — a man among men. At the close of the case on trial, the court
will adjourn for the term out of respect to the memory of our dead asso-
ciate. Justice Wilmot Smith."
OBITUARIES 205
WESTON FLINT, UNION, '60.
The Delta Upsilon fraternity mourns the death of its distinguished
member, Weston Flint. Union Chapter mourns the loss of one of its
most loyal supporters. The Delta Upsilon Club of Washington mourns
the passing of one of its founders, its most active member, its president.
The death of our beloved brother occurred on the morning of April
6, 1906, at his home on K Street, in the city of Washington, after a
short illness, from pneumonia. Grief over the death of his wife, which
occurred less than a year before, had weakened his power of resistance.
Brother Flint was born in Pike, Wyoming County, New York, July
4, 1835. At the age of seventeen he began teaching, and in 1855 entered
Alfred Academy, at Alfred Center, N. Y., where he was graduated in
1858. In i860 he was graduated at Union College, and in 1863 received
the degree of A. M. After teaching in New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, he went to St. Louis, and while looking after the sick and wounded
of the federal army in the hospitals was appointed military agent for
C)hio, also acting a part of the time for the states of Michigan and New
Vork in the care of their soldiers in camps and hospitals. In 1866-69
he was attorney for claims in St. Louis, and took an active part in poli-
tics of the state. In 1866 he was one of the organizers and secretary of
the southern loyalist convention at Philadelphia, and in 1868 was a dele-
gate to the Republican convention at Chicago. He became editor and
publisher of the St, Louis Daily Tribune, He was also the organizer and
secretary of the second board of the Geological survey of Missouri.
In 1 87 1 he was appointed United States consul to Chin Kiang, China.
On his return in 1874 he engaged in literary work and lecturing; then
studied law in Columbian University, receiving the degree of LL.B. in
1877, and that of LL.M. in 1878, and was admitted to the bar in the latter
year. In 1877-87 he had charge of the scientific library of the United
States patent office. He had much to do with the organization of the
civil service commission, and was acting chairman and one of the exam-
iners. In 1887-88 he served with the Senate committee which investi-
gated the operations of the civil service, and in 1889 was appointed statis-
tician of the United States bureau of education, and prepared the report
on the libraries of the United States and Canada.
In 1898 he was appointed first librarian of the new public library
of the District of Columbia. He was secretary of the Anthropological
Society of Washington, a member of the Historical Society, of the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement of Science, a member of the council
of the American Library Association, member of the American Folk-lore
Society, of the National Geogfraphic Society and of the Society for Uni-
versity Extension. He was a member of the Washington Board of Trade
and of its committee on libraries.
2o6 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
The brotherhood of man was ever a moving consideration with him
and his influence is widely felt. He was a thirty-second degree Mason, a
Knight-Templar, an active member of the University club and ever a
loyal, enthusiastic member of Delta Upsilon.
We, as members of Delta Upsilon, while grieving at our loss, take
pride in the illustrious career of usefulness of our departed brother,
Weston Flint.

DR. CHARLES E. PRENTISS. MIDDLEBURY, '63.
Charles Edward Prentiss died suddenly at Middlebury, Vt., March
fifth, 1906, in his sixty-second year. At the time of his death, he
was assistant librarian of Middlebury College, a position whch he had
held for nearly ten years. A widow and two sons, both Delta U's,
survive him. He was a brilliant man and played many parts upon life's
stage. In the quiet closing scene, amid his beloved books, he made a
friend of every student with whom he came in contact. And he came
to all. The whole-souled helpfulness of Dr. Prentiss, the eagerness with
which he seized each chance to help, and the zeal with which he created
such chances, made it impossible for a man to spend much time at Middle-
bury without encountering him. He was confessor, counselor, confidant,
and friend to all ; no man on the faculty was so close to the real ambitions,
weaknesses, and needs of the individual boys as he.
He was a natural fraternity man; he never omitted an opportunity
to help Delta Upsilon honorably. It is my understanding that he drafted
the first constitution- of the national fraternity, at the Middlebury con-
vention of 1864 where he was a delegate, and it is certain that, the Doctor
being present, he would have it drafted while others debated. Out of his
little he gave for books and other needs of the chapter ; out of his great-
ness he gave to all the kindly understanding and aid which are more than
money and an example of cheerfulness and self-sacrifice the worth of
which can never be measured.
NATHAN D. OORBIN, MICHIGAN. '86.
Nathan D. Corbin, widely known in Detroit and throughout the state
as a newspaper man, died March 20, 1906, at Harper hospital, Detroit,
of heart disease.
During the past decade Mr. Corbin held many important positions
on Detroit newspapers, his splendid educational equipment making him
a valuable man for the more responsible posts. At different times in
his journalistic career, he had been Washington correspondent, Lansing
correspondent and financial editor, and nearly every paper in the dty
had at one time or another commanded his services. His last work
il
OBITUARIES 207
on the daily press was as financial writer. About two years ago he left
newspaper work for a short time to engage in private business.
Mr. Corbin was bom at Bath, N. H., December i, 1861. He gradu-
ated from the Ann Arbor High school in 1882 and from the University
of Michigan in 1886. He took his Master's degree at the University of
Michigan and also a law course, though he never practiced law. Before
entering the newspaper field he was professor of history and political
economy at the Michigan Ag^cultural college and was also for a time
principal of the high school at La Porte, Ind.
Mr. Corbin was married in 1892 to Margaret Moore of Grand
Rapids. His wife died in 1899. He is survived by a daughter, Josephine,
13 years old; a son, David, 11 years old, and an aged mother, whose only
son he was.

The Shield of Phi Kappa Psi has said exactly what we wanted to
say with reference to an illustration of a Sigma Chi "third degree stunt,"
and said it better:
The Sigma Chi Quarterly presented a picture of a cart, with eccentrc
wheels, hearing a saw-horse astride of which are seated several hllnd-folded
candidates for initiation into the new cAiapter of Sigma Chi at Colorado Col.
lege. Members of the chapters are shown grouped about the vehicle. The
apparatus is called, according to the Quarterly, "the wild ass of the desert
in repose." Careful examination of the picture reveals the presence In it
of considerably more than one ass.

We are jealous — distinctly so— of the editor who can report over
a thousand alumni subscribers. That is the goal we have set for
this year. Read this and then continue the good work already begun.
The Sigma Nu Delta has eleven hundred alumni subscribers, and claims
that in this respect it surpasses every other fraternity magazine. Kappa
Alpha should not be satisfied with a position among the leaders, when with
a little effort i^e could be the leader. It is entirely dependent upon the
chapters whether we shall be able to claim this proud distinction. — Kappa
Alpha Journal.
GOSSIP OF THE GREEKS

Mr. Verner M. Jones, who made "The Greek Press" department of
Kappa Alpha Journal most interesting during the past two years, has had
to retire, to the great regret of all fraternity journalists. Editor Burnley
has well sustained the reputation of his magazine by his reviews of ex-
changes in the December Journal. The following clippings, however, are
interesting as showing how editorial opinion, which is presumably im-
personal, can change:
The first copy of the S. A. B. Rec-
ord the writer has seen for years is
Just at hand, and indicates immense
improvement over the magazine of
former years. It is one ♦ ♦ ♦
of the hest arranged magazines. * *
One of the most attractive mechan-
ical changes noted consists in using
double columns for chapter letters,
after the manner of Delta Upsilon. —
Kappa Alpha Journal, December,
1904.
The chief fault we have to find
with the Record it its publication of
chapter letters in fine type, two col-
umns to the page, giving the depart-
ment an insignificant appearance,
when, in our opinion, it is the most
important feature of a fraternity Jour-
nal, as the prime object of fraternity
organs is the dissemination of news
of the chapters between them. —
Kappa Alpha Journal, December,
1905.
The Caduceus of Kappa Sigma has made a comparison of the
aatumn issues of the fraternity magazines with respect to chapter letters,
and we read it with a sinking heart. We have arranged the figures
in the form of a table :
Maffaxine
Kappa Alpha Journal
Record of Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Caduceus of Kappa Sigma
D. K. E. Quarterly
Sigma Chi Quarterly
Phi Gamma I>elta
Delta Upsilon Quarterly
Phi Kappa Psi Shield
Delta of Sigma Nu
Beta Theta Pi
The editor adds: "The only conclusion which appears to the
writer from this array of figures is that it is hard work to get a large
number of different men to perform separate pieces of work punctually
and before a fixed date — ^and he knew that before."

Of the last June and October issues of The Quarterly the Kappa
Alpha Journal comments thus: "Besides a few notes the only editorial
is on the chapter letter subject." "Notwithstanding the editorial appeal
in the previous issue only twenty-five chapter letters appear of the
thirty-six due."
^lo THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
The Journal further makes this justifiable boast:
Wlhile the Editor has had to work "powerful hard" to secure some of
them, every active chapter has had a letter In the Journal for seven succes.
«ive issues. The fact, however, that every active chapter has been repre-
snted by a letter in the last seven Issues of the Journal seems to prove that
Kappa Alpha has solved a problem over which the S. A. E. Record, the
Delta Upsilon Quarterly, and numerous other Greek-letter publications are
still struggling.
We have made a good start in having a letter from every chapter
in this and the past two issues of this volume. But our greatest difficulty
always lies with the October number. Will the chapter editors accept
such criticism as the above without an attempt to make a perfect record?
Will they accept seventh place with a record of sixty-nine percent. ?
The Alpha Tau Omega Palm has materially improved in the last
few issues. We appreciate the following compliment, eyen though we
are not classed at the head:
If we should be asked to name the handsomest publication (and the
costliest too, perhaps,) in the fraternity world, there would be no hesitancy
in mentioning the Kappa Sigma Caduceus as being superior to all others in
this respect. The Delta Upsilon Quarterly and the Kappa Alpha Journal
follow rather closely but the first named is a long way ahead of everything
else.
« « « «
If we can find the time — and the money — ^we have plans to place
the Quarterly even nearer the top. Perhaps Mr. Farr, editor of the
Caduceus, will tell us "where he got it" The Palm refers to the spread
of Kappa Alpha, saying that now it can hardly be called a purely South-
ern fraternity, and adds :
It is now up to Delta Upsilon to spread a little South and Southwest
and to become less sectional in a geographical way.
Having now proffered advice as to how Delta Upsilon can do the right
and proper thing (which advice it didn't telegraph for, doesn't want, and
undoubtedly refuses to appreciate just now), we turn to the attractive Quar-
terly it has sent out under date of December first; not only attractive in
appearance but interesting in its varied accounts of their late 71st annual
convention.
The scribe would like to be enlightened as to why, in spite of its
strength in the North and Bast, Delta Upsilon has never entered the Univer-
sities of Maine, or Vermont, or Dartmouth, >Jew Hampdiire. Will some
one satisfy him?
The good intentions, at least, of the Palm's advice are appreciated,
and the way may be paved to serious consideration of the proposition —
GOSSIP OF THE GREEKS 211
we intend no allusion to the pavement for which good intentions are
generally used.
For the enlightenment asked for we would refer to the article
"Extension for Strength" by Brother Wilson L. Fairbanks, Tufts, '87,
published in the March, 1903, Quarterly, and the subsequent discussion
of the subject.

This, from a chapter letter in a sorority magazine, was signed by
tlie corresponding secretary and countersigned by another official. It is
copied exactly. It is quoted not as a criticism of the sorority or the
editor, for we have all met its equal, but as an object lesson for some
chapter editors:
Of course fraternity life is not an ideal one, but to develope a more
lovatle disposition it is even better than the family life, because too often
there is a spirit of favoritism, 'wthich may mar her attempts to be nicer,
but realizing that her attractiveness depends upon her own efforts, and if
ever she stands upon her own merit, she will try her utmost to be interesting^
lovable and entertaining.
We may not all reach the goal toward which we are striving, but in
our efforts we trust we may develop into the noble, broad minded women,,
of which each one desires so earnestly to become.

THE Commencement is now ap-

ter, however, is not going to lose any
men by graduation this year, and ex-
pects to have all the present active
men back in the work next fall.
The past year has been quite suc-
cessful in many respects. In college
work and activities as well as in ath-
letics, all have tried to uphold the
honor of the college, never forget-
ting Delta Upsllon's share for an in-

ground for conjecture. Some of last
years's star men are out of school this
year, but we hope that those who are
left, strengthened by the new mate*
rial, will make a good showing in
the coming meets.
The Chapter has decided to keep
open house for the alumni on the
first and third Sundays of each
month. Every Delta Upsilon man,
alumnus or not. who lives in Cleve-
land or happens to be there, is in-
vited and urged to be present.
This year we have adopted the
plan suggested at the convention of
sending to all the alumni a statement
of the condition of the chapter, and
we are waiting to see if it may awak-
en any more interest and enthusiasm
in the welfare of the active chapter.

A member of the Westchester
Presbytery writes:
"I consider Mr. Merriam an ex-
ceptionally bright man — one of the
brightest In our Presbytery. He is
strong intellectually, and one of his
elders told me the other day that
every year he was becoming more
spiritual in his preaching. I haye
found Merriam 'a manly man,' which
I consider a great quality in a min-
ister today. I believe that he would
appeal to men, and I know that he
is also very popular with the young
people of his church. Again I have
found him a very honest, open man
in every way. His ability to adapt
himself to all classes of society es-
pecially fits him for a city church.
I believe that he is also a man of
more than ordinary executive abili-
ty." — New York Observer.

THE spring term opened April 10^
and on the Friday night follow-

ly which proved to be one of the most
notable occasions of the kind held
for a long time. President Hyde, the
first speaker of the evening, said,
among other things, that Bowdoln
was always celebrating. This year
it is the 100 th anniversary of the
first commencement. Among the
other speakers was Dr. Daniel Rob-
inson, '73, of Bangor. Dr. Robinson
spoke of the Bowdoln Spirit, as seen
in the college life and as exemplified
in the lives of our alumni; he spoke
In very eloquent terms of Gen.
Joshua L. Chamberlain, the hero of
Little Round Top, of William Pitt
Fessenden, the statesman, and of
Commander Peary, now on a dash for
the North Pole.
The College Dramatic Club re-
cently presented "The Rivals" to a
full house In Brunswick, scoring a
big hit. It Is hoped that the play
may be presented again later in the
term.
In spite of the unusually late
spring, college athletics are progress-
ing well. In baseball our prospects
are especially good and we are devot-
ing our attention as heretofore to
securing the Maine championship.

JUNIOR Week has just passed by
with a rush. Beginning with the
Dartmouth game. Including a concert
and hop; an Informal farce; "She
Stoops to Conquer," presented by the
''Sock and Buskin" society, and a
roaring, rollicking, one-ring circus
(with side-shows), and ending with
the gorgeous Junior Prom, the class
of 1907 distinguished itself for ac-
tivity, originality and enthusiasm.

Tht statistics win be brief for this
report, as almost all elections have
been told of. The next important
event will be the Oaston Oratorical
contest, in which Barbour, *06, will
deliver an essay. Two prize debates
come in the spring term. Bruce, '07,
has already won the Mahonk prize
of forty dollars, and Sinclair, '07, is
on the team which debates for the
Junior Hicks prize. On the team
which debates the Columbia Fresh-
men, moreover, is Hughes, Jr., *09.
Class Day, of course, is beginning
to get on our minds in the Interims
when we are not wondering how bad
we shall beat the rest of the Big
Four (we just beat Princeton 2-0).

Day committee, and Swaffleld is on
the Senior Ball committee. If the
weather is anything like the glorious,
balmy, springy Junior Week weather,
this year will go down in our records
as one of great events, for the com-
mittees have some excellent plans on
foot.
We have had good news in regard
to our faculty. Professor von Klenze,
a Harvard Delta U., is going to teach
us language henceforth, and we hear
he is among the best in the country.
And the famous sociologist, Lester
Ward, is to become one of our in-
structors, giving us, unquestionably,
the best department of sociology in
the country. Already our stafC in
this work was famous.
Charles E. Hughes, of New York,
dropped in on us the other day for
a fifteen minute talk in the Union.
He was on his way to address a bank-
ers' dinner. Of course, he was greet-
ed with spirit, and, as he left the
building, he passed through a double
line of cheering students, who form-
ed his guard from the steps of the
building to the door of his carriage.
His speech was thrilling. I forgot to
mention above that Hughes, Junior,
has Just been elected one of the edit-
ors of our dally "Herald" — a com-
petitive office. And the rest of the
Brown Delta U. family are keeping
in a winning rut.

'70 — Chancellor B. Banjamin An-
drews, who has been much talked of
as the probable successor of Dr. Har-
per as president of the University of
Chicago, recently stated that no sal-
ary consideration could induce him
to leave the University of Nebraska
so long as his relations were as pleas-
ant as they are at present.
'72 — Rev. Dr. B. A. Greene re-
cently lectured before the students
of Crozer Theological Seminary.
'81 — Charles E. Hughes has an-
other investigation on hand. Attor-
ney General Mooday gave out the
following statement on April 17:
"Charles E. Hughes, Esq., of the
New York bar and Alexander Simp-
son, Jr., of the Pennsylvania bar,
have been retained by the Depart-
ment of Justice to take under con-
sideration all the facts now known,
or which can be ascertained, relative
to the transportation and sale of coal
in inter-state commerce; to advise
what, if any, legal proceedings
should be begun, and to conduct, un-
der the direction of the Attorney Gen-
eral, such suits or prosecutions, if
any, as may be warranted by the evi-
dence in hand and forthcoming."
Charles E. Hughes was the guest
of honor at the dinner of the Cham-
ber of Commerce of Syracuse May 5.
He spoke on "Honesty in Business
and Political Life." Mr. Hughes
said that there had been a great
awakening of public conscience; that
the people had been humiliated by
the revelations of the insurance in-
vestigation, but that wise legislation
enacted would prove a remedy for
the abuses of past systems. He as-
serted that under the new laws the
New York companies would be the
best in the world, and that observ-
ance of the laws would remedy all
so-called inequalities.
Charles E. Hughes is president of
the Dwight Alumni association.
"It may be stated without viola-
tion of confidence that the president
thinks that Charles E. Hughes pos-
sesses the qualifications necessary to
make an admirable candidate for
Governor of New York. It may be

stated also that the President would
be glad to see Mr. Hughes nominated,
for he believes that he is the kind
of man the voters of the state have
confidence in and would desire to
elect.
"Certain influential New York of-
ficials have repeatedly said that
Hughes would make an ideal candi-
date for the Governorship. One of
the close friends of the President
said today: 'Hughes is well liked
by the President. He thinks that
Hughes carried himself admirably in
the insurance investigations and af-
terward. He thinks he is a man who
could unite the opposing factions in
the state, and could certainly be
elected.'
"Still another New York Republi-
can said: 'It is a fact that some time
since efforts were made quietly to
sound Mr. Hughes on the question of
the governorship. He gave no en-
couragement whatever to those who
would like to get behind a movement
to nominate him. In fact, he plainly
intimated that politics had no attrac-
tion for him.* " — Brooklyn Daily

'81 — ^The Hon. Cornelius W. Pen-
dleton, of Los Angeles, Cal., State
Senator, who passed through the
earthquake at San Jose, had a thril-
ling escape. He said: "After the
earthquake I covered San Jose in an
automobile and saw at least twenty
dead. Nearly every brick anl stone
structure in San Jose was demolish,
ed or damaged. I was at the Ven-
dome hotel. The shock of the earth-
quake was so severe that the floors
and walls of the hotel collapsed. We
had a room on the side of the hotel
near a large tree. The side wall of
my room fell against this tree, which
also sustained that portion of the
roof, preventing it from falling in
on us.
"My room was on the second floor,
but when I got up I was in the base-
ment. I crawled over the debris and
escaped through a third story window
that was on a level with the gnround."

THE terrible fire which started

18 has just been brought under con-
trol after burning for over fifty hours.
The entire business district of San
Francisco and a large part of the
residence section lie in ruins, but
confidence has not been lost and a
larger and greater city will be the

law and in this we have had our part,
for the University Cadets were called
on and the entire command has been

exercises were immediately suspend-
ed and Berkeley has been thrown
open to the thousands of refugees
from across the bay. Prom the pres-

Stanford suffered more from the

THE second initiation of the year
was held at the Chapter house
on April 7. Besides alumni of our own
chapter, there were present brothers
from the Wisconsin, Cornell, Will-
iams, Michigan, Minnesota and La-
fayette chapters. The charge to the
initiates was given by Arthur E. Bes-
tor, '01. At the banquet which fol-
lowed, Frank R. Adams, '04, presid-
ed as toastmaster. The toasts re-
sponded to were:

Our numbers have also been in-
creased by the return to college of
Harvey B. Fuller, '08, who for the
last five months has been serving as
tutor for Marshall Field III.
Although seriously weakened by
the loss of some of its stars, the track
team, captained by Parry, '06, is
planning to put up a hard fight to
maintain its position as champions
of the West. Parry, who holds the
University records in the discus and
the hammer throw, won eight points
in the Western intercollegiate meet
last year, and is counted on for the
same number of points this season.
His recent success at Philadelphia at
the Pennsylvania games in winning
the hammer throw from Tom Shev-
lin of Yale, and taking third place
in the discus has marked him as one
of the best weight men in the coun-
try. At the dual meet with Illinois,
in May, he won first in the hammer
and discus throws, and second in the
shot put, breaking the Chicago and
Illinois records in the hammer
throw, both of which he already held.
Russell, 'OS, who won his second-
ary emblem in track last year, should,
from his present form, win enough
points in the discus and shot to give
him his "C." Taylor, '09, will also
be a strong addition to the varsity
squad in the weights. The "big

football team next fall.
Hebberd, '09, in a recent tryout
succeeded in defeating all the veteran
players on the varsity golf team. He
is also captain of the Freshman
bowling team, of which Ulrich is a
member. Bowman, '09, was a mem-
ber of the Science College soccer
team in the inter-college games
against Philosophy College, on whose
team Coyne, '09, played as guard.
In the inter-fraternity baseball
league we have defeated Delta Tau
Delta, and have lost a game to Sigma
Chi; several games are yet to be
played.
At the elections the "Fencibles,"
the University honor debating soci-
ety, Fernald, '08, was chosen presi-
dent, while George Fuller, '08. was
elected treasurer. Judson, '08, is
also a member. Bowman, '09, is a
member of the Science College de>
bating team. Bernard, '07, is a
member of the "Stump," the senior
honor debating society.
The University annual, the "Cap
and Gown," just published, is con-
sidered the finest and most complete
volume of its kind ever gotten out
at the University. Moulds, '07, was
managing editor; Hughes, '06, and
Fernald, '07, were associate editors;
Judson, '08, was one of the literary
contributors; Weddell, '05, Bruce,
'06, and Harvey Fuller were art con-
tributors.
"The Rushing of Raxes," the an-
nual play of the "Blackfriars," the
University comic opera club, will be
given the latter part of May. Bruce
is acting abbot (president). Judson
is a member of the executive commit-
tee. Hughes will play the lead, sup-
ported by Bruce and Weddell, '05,
as "leading ladies." On the chorus
are Adams, '09, Coyne, Hebberd,
Welling, '09, Kennedy, '09, and
Bowman. Judson is property man.
The annual dramatic club play this
year is "Trelawney of the Wells,"
in which Bruce, ex-president of the
club, plays the part of "Telfer."
Lemon, '06, now engaged in re-
search work in astronomy at Terkes
Observatory, has been awarded the
departmental scholarship in that sub-
ject. Fernald and Harvey Fuller
have been granted President's Schol-
arships; Welling holds an entrance
scholarship.
Russell is on the Ehcecutive Com.
mittee of Science College, and is its
athletic representative.
Moulds is one of the entertainment
committee of the Reynolds club, of
which Vogt, ex-'06, was secretary.
Fernald is a member of the Inter-
scholastic Commission, and chairman
of its Press committee.
Junior Day offices fell to Russell,
who is chairman of the Committee on
Athletics, and to Fernald, who is one
of the Finance committee of the
Prom.
The Pan-Hellenic Promenade was
not held this year, each fraternity
holding its social functions separate-
ly. Our formal dance was held Fri-
day, May fourth, and was attended
by all the active members of the
chapter, practically all the chapter
alumni in the city, and a number of
brothers from other chapters — sixty
couples in all — being in attendance.
The chapter has been particularly
fortunate in its close relationship
with the Chicago Alumni Club, all
of whose banquets and smokers the
chapter has been able to attend in a
body.
Twenty-four Delta U. faculty mem-
bers in the University — more than
those of any other chapter of any
fraternity in any college; important
offices in the senior, junior, and
sophomore classes; a larger number
of men on the football and track
teams, in the comic opera club, in the
honor societies, and on the boards
of student publications, than any
other fraternity In the University;
the first office in glee, dramatic, com-
ic opera, and debating clubs, on the
University annual, on the track team,
in the management of the student
daily — these, in brief, are some of
the things that bring strength to the
Chicago Chapter of Delta Upsilon.

Active Memhership, 23.
THE Colhy Chapter has been mak-
ing substantial if not rapid
progress. One of the most gratifying
things in our fraternity life is the
deep interest shown by the local al-
umni in everything pertaining to our
welfare. This interest will no doubt
result in a stronger bond of mutual
helpfulness between the alumni and
the active chapter.
A few honors in athletics and other
college activities have fallen to our
men recently. In the Dramatic club,
which has just finished a most suc-
cessful season, Bro. Lincoln, '06, is
president, and Bro. Richardson, '09,
property man and soloist. Among
the other members of the club are
Bros. Stevens and Coombs, '06, and
Hackett, '09. Bro. Coombs, '06, is
meeting with his usual success as
captain and pitcher of the baseball
nine. Brother Trlbou, '08, is playing
an exceptionally strong game at his
old position in the left field. Bro.

AS the college year draws to its
close, we feel deep regret at the
parting which must inevitably come
at Commencement. In making up this
year's Freshman delegation, it has
been our endeavor, successful thus
far, to secure a well-balanced chap-
ter, so as to prevent permanent loss
from the graduation of our energetic
seniors.
The death of Bro. Robert R. Mas-
tin, '08, on February 11, was the
occasion of heartfelt grief to each
brother. His personality was quiet
and lovable, and to each one of us
the news of his death came as a
great shock. Bro. Mastin, besides
being interested in rowing, sang last
year in the chorus of "The Khan of
Kathan," and had been elected assist-
ant manager of the Musical Clubs.
The members of the chapter attended
the funeral in a body, six brothers
serving as pallbearers.
The athletic situation has been
somewhat cleared up by the an-
nouncement that Columbia is Jto ac-
quire in the near future a million dol.
lar athletic field along the Hudson
river front. As the permission of
the State and of the Federal govern-
ment has to be obtained, some delay
is expected before the actual work of
filling in begins. On the other hand,
not a little discouragement has re-
sulted from the publication of the
faculty committee's report, which
is supposed to indicate the tenor of
the ultimate action to be taken on
intercollegiate athletics. Some fea-
tures of the report are the restriction
of intercollegiate sports to three
home games and three games out of
town, the elimination of professional
coaching and training tables, except
in rowing, and the barring of Fresh-
men and postgraduates in varsity
athletics.
During the last few months we
have been favored with visits from
the following brothers: Rev. E. H.
Abbey, Hamilton, '71; Tyng, Harv-
ard, '04; Cole, Northwestern, '03;
Grant, Amherst, '04; Camp, Cornell,

Sage, Rochester, '05; Haller and
Black, Amherst, '08; Baldwin, Cor-
nell, '08; Hamilton, Lafayette, '07;
Evans, Hamilton, '05, and a large
number of our own alumni.
The Columbia Varsity debating
squad was coached this year by Bros.
W. B. Parker, Harvard, '97, and
Baker, '99. Two Delta U men made
the teams, Shaw, '08 L., and Leaven-
worth, '08 L., who captained the
New York team. Essex, '06, presi-
dent, and Chapin, '07, secretary of
the debating union, were in charge
of arrangements. We regret to say,
however, that Cornell and Pennsyl-
vania both secured the decision on
March 9. Chapin, '07, was elected
president of the Columbia-Cornell-
Pennsylvania league for next year.
The Varsity basketball team, of
which Fettretch, '06, was a member,
finished with second place in the in-
tercollegiate league. Hoag, '09, sur-
vived the cut in the Freshman crew
squad, and 1$ rowing in the second
boat. Maynard, '06, was awarded a
gold fob by the non-athletic council
for his services on "Spectator."
Our representatives on the Freshman
track team are Edgar, '09, and Pell,

There have been some changes in
the fraternity world lately. Phi
Delta Theta has moved into its new
1 5 0,0 00 house at Broadway and
113th street. The Delta Phi Club is
completing its six-story house on
116 th street, near Riverside drive.
Part of the building will be used by
the undergraduate organization for
chapter purposes. The Sigma Alpha
Epsilon chapter has also purchased
a new house. All this progress nat-
urally fills us with the desire of own-
Ing as good a chapter house as there
is on the Heights. The feeling of the
chapter alumni association leads us
to believe that the possession of such
B home is a thing of the near future.
We have been holding several sub-
Freshman rush meetings In order to
get a preliminary view of next year's
material. All were well attended.
Though it is perhaps a little early
to call for alumni support, we ask
every graduate brother to get in
communication with us by next Sep-
tember and recommend good men
who are going to enter in the fall.
Nothing helps in rushing more than
the backing of former members of
the chapter. It is our desire to see
ell the old men who get back for
Commencement.

Randolph Woodruff Weed, *09,

WITH the coming of spring, both
the University and our chap-
ter have taken hold of things with
newed vigor.
Dealing with athletics, our Varsity
baseball team so far has played nine
games -without a single defeat, and,
out of the five games played on
Percy Field, four have been Cut-
outs. With Umstad and Deshon on
the pitching staff and with practic-
ally a veteran team, we look for-
ward to the best season in the his-
tory of the University.
In Crew, the outlook is fully as
promising. Not in the last four
years, has Ck>ach Courtney had such
an experienced and strong list of
candidates aa is at his disposal this
spring.
R. W. Weed, '09, who was initiated
on March 17th, is at present strok-
ing the first Freshman combination.
In addition, our chapter has two
other Freshman candidates for crew.
Bro. L. D. Root, '08, for the past
two years center on the Basketball
team, has been elected captain for
next year.
A great deal of interest has been
shown in the inter college baseball
games for the championship of the
University and for the prize cup
given by the Deans of the Colleges.
This cup was won last year by the
Civil Engineering Department after
a hard struggle. All the teams seem
to be even more closely matched
this year, and the coming contest
bids fair to be practically as inter-
esting as our intercollegiate games.
There has also been instituted
lately in the field of rowing the same
system of intercollege contests for
a similar cup. All the colleges have
signified their intentions of develop-
ing crews, and both the undergradu-
ates and the alumni are watching
this experiment in the line of more
participation on the part of the gen-
eral student body in regulation
branches of athletics with a great
deal of interest.
Very much to the regret of the
whole undergraduate body, the
Freshman Banquet, our most highly
cherished tradition, has been prac-
tically abolished by a ruling of the
Faculty forbidding rushes and per-
sonal contests. The whole commu-
nity is trying to devise some means
of so regulating this banquet that
the good features of the tradition
may be saved.
<Coming down more closely to Fra-
ternity matters, the point of great-
est interest developed in the last
month is the agitation regarding giv-
ing up the fraternity houses to the
alumni Senior Week instead of hold-
ing the accustomed house party. This
plan seems to have met with disap-
proval by the fraternities, who de-
sire to retain the house party as a
valuable college function, and at the
same time to do all m their power to
attract as many alumni as possible
to the University at Commencement
time. But up to the present, any
plan for saving the good points of
both schemes has not been devised.
Bro. C. H. Tuck, '06, has been
chosen one of the Woodford speakers.
This is a Senior oratorical contest of
six men for a medal valued at $100,
and is the highest competition in
oratory in the University.
Bro. N. Aleman, '07, has been
tlected vice-president of the C. U^
C. A.
Our chapter is running with ex-
ceptional smoothness. We expect to
turn out a strong baseball team for
the interfraternity games this spring,
and are looking forward to a pleasant
and prosperous term.
Postscript:
The district convention, the first
in this district, has Just been held.
The Cornell chapter was greatly
pleased to play host to the delegates
and feel that the results of the pa-
pers and discussions as well as the
opportunity to meet the brothers
from so many chapters will prove of
lasting benefit.
The night the convention opened
the Woodford prize, a $100 medal
was won by Bro. Chas. H. Tuck, *06»

being his specialty.
'74 — ^A. J. Lamoureux writes thus
in the "New York Times:
"I have been deeply impressed not
only with the complaint that we are
not getting our rightful share of
the trade of South America, but
also with our failure to understand
the reasons for it. It shows, I some-
times think, that we can not or will
not comprehend what runs counter
to our prejudices and purposes. ♦ •
"The situation in South America
is a very simple one. The dominant
elements there are Europeans, or of
European descent: there is a large
annual immigration from Europe;
their education and literature are
European in character;* ♦ • their
loans, the capital of their railways,
port improvements, gas works, water
works, &c comes from Europe. ♦ •
In short, what they have and what
they are are chiefiy due to European
co-operation.
"Against all this, what have we to
show? The protecting aegis of the
Monroe Doctrine, which they have
never asked for, which they fear, and
which they do not want except on
terms we are unwilling to grant.
They are firmly convinced that our
motives are sinister, and they know
that our trade purposes are unfair.
We ask favors, but, apart from Bra-
zll, we are unwilling to grant them."

cured to coach DePauw's nine and he
is diligently training a good team. A
schedule of fifteen games has been
arranged, seven of which are to be
played here. Bro. R. L. Renick, '06,

HARVARD*
Active Membership, 49.
THE past three months have been
the busiest of the year for the
Harvard Chapter, for the annual play
came off in the end of March, alter
we had been working at it for two
months. The play chosen this year
was Heywood's "The Wise Woman of
Hogsdon," and the general opinion
seemed to be that it was the best
Elizabethan revival we had done.
The annual play has come to be onr
chief activity in college, and it cer-
tainly has helped us a great deal in
establishing our position here, as
well as furnishing a strong bond of
common interest which is a necessity
in so large a chapter as ours. The
graduates' night performance, on
March 26, was an enthusiastic affair,
with many old Delta U's present, as
well as a number of brothers from
neighboring chapters, all of whom
seemed to enjoy the performance,
and helped by their applause. Other
performances were given in Cam-
bridge and Boston, the one on April
5 in Brattle hall being followed by
an informal dance. The last per-
formance was given in the Barn, at
Wellesley College at the invitation
of the English department, on the
afternoon of April 14, and was fol-
lowed by a reception by Bro. Ham-
ilton, Brown, '88, Professor of Music

at Wellesley, to whom the chapter is
indebted for a very pleasant evening.
Aside from the all-absorbing inter-
est of the play, athletics is now the
chief occupation. A ball nine is be-
ing organized, with Holcombe as cap-
tain, and games are being ancanged
with the chapters at Tufts and Tech-
nology, as well as with local clubs.
The material is good, the interest
strong, and we hope to put our riv-
als to sleep in good style. Besides
this, Holcombe is captain of the Phi
Beta Kappa nine, who play Yale
soon, and Hurlln, Jones, and others
are anxiously working for places,
while Galbraith, '99, will pitch for
Harvard. Turning to more serious
work, Hanley, Groves, Kerans, and
Grlng won places in the interclass
track meet, and seem sure of making
the team. Forte is on the Junior
crew, Parke Is on the Sophomore,
and Wright and Holmes are rowing
with the second Senior crew.
Class day and Commencement are
getting dangerously near for the
Seniors now, and Hurlln, Holcombe,
Holmes. Liord, Brlggs, Jones and
Underbill are entitled to try for
Commencement parts. Hurlln Is an
assistant in music for next year, and
Holcombe in Government, while he
is now assisting in Economics. Bro.
Kendall K. Smith, '04, has won the
Charles Eliot Norton Travelling Fel-
lowship for next year, the highest
honor in the classical department, and
will study in Athens next year. Ar-
thur Black, '04, is first marshal of
the graduating law class; Groves,

of the Phillips Brooks House Asso-
ciation, and will again have charge
of the philantropic activities of the
University; Eustis is a director of the
Harvard Dining Association, and
Brumley, Hlrsch and Forte are on
the 1907 Round Table.
A letter of sympathy was sent re-
cently to the chapters at Stanford
and Berkeley for the great calamity
which has overtaken their institu-
tions. The disaster was brought
nearly home to us, as Ruf us Kimball,
Stanford, '03, is staying with us
while at the Law School. We wish
the chapters on the coast all good
luck In the new beginning that they
have to make.

OUR first initiation since we be-
came a chapter of Delta Upsi-
lon occurred April 28, at which time
Albert Penn, '07, and Thomas W.
Samuels, '09, became members of the
fraternity.
This year we shall lose seven men
by graduation: Frost, Armeling,
Rump, Corrigan, Bergert, Melvin and
Wagoner. Besides this Bros. Har-
man and Malcolm, both '03, who have
been teaching in the University, ex-
pect to take up active work in Bngin-
eering next year and will not be with
us. This will make a considerable
change in our ranks, but we hope
that the chapter will continue to ad-
vance as it has done.
Our annual was held on March 2.
In connection with this we had a
house party from Thursday until Sun-
day. During this time the chapter
house was turned over to our guests,
and we found lodging at the differ-
ent fraternity houses. This exchange
of courtesies among fraternities is
common here whenever a chapter
gives a house party, and does much
to promote a friendly feeling among
the fraternity men.
Baseball is now attracting most of
our attention, and from present indi-
cations Illinois will add another pen-
nant to her long list of baseball
championships. Demmitt, '07, is
playing right field, and Penn, '07,
Wasson, '08, and Taylor, '09, are
on the squad.
Bro. Cook, '07, is at DePaaw
coaching their varsity baseball team.

Illinois has a chapter of Delta
Sigma Rho, the new honorary debate
ing fraternity. This fraternity has
chapters at all of the large universi-
ties of the middle West, and is made
up of men who have represented
their universities in oratorical or de-
bating contests. Our chapter is rep-
resented by Bro. Samuels, '09, who
was a member of the Illinois-Indiana
debating team.
About a month ago President
James called a meeting of all the fra-
ternity men in the University, and
laid before them a plan for holding
a national fraternity convention at
Urbana next year. Bach fraternity
represented here has appointed a rep-
resentative, and from these a commit-
tee has been selected to make the
necessary arrangements. The pur-
pose of the convention will be to dis-
cuss fraternity problems and take
such action as will promote the best
interests of fraternities in general.
Bros. Cornell, DePauw '09, Foster,

Actiye Membership, 23.
THIS term, the last and most
pleasant of all, is slipping by
much too quickly for the three Sen-
iors who go out this year. Yet, as we
leave, we have the satisfaction of
knowing that all is well for Delta U.
at Lafayette, and that there is a
good firm nucleus for the work of
next year. There is already a list of
fully twenty names of oncoming men
as a "starter" for the rushing season
in the fall. Probably eight or nine
men will be chosen giving us ample
opportunities to select the most desir-
able and promising men.
We are looking forward to our an-
nual banquet in June with a good
deal of pleasure and interest because
it marks the completion of our twen-
tieth year and the beginning of our
twenty-first in Delta U. and we trust
that we as a Chapter may continue
to grow and prosper in our maturity
as in our youth.
Baseball is now receiving the atten-
tion of the college and we are look-
ing forward to a successful season.
The new diamond has been com-
pleted and the team will no longer be
liandicapped for a suitable place to
get into shape.
The Chapter is represented on the

SINCE the publication of the last
"Quarterly" developments have
taken place at Lehigh which are go-
ing to bring about important changes
in student life here. We are to have
a University settlement — a dormitory,
a commons, and a students' club.
President Drinker, who has work-
ed hard on the settlement idea, an-
nounced in Chapel recently that
Drown Memorial Hall, the dormitory
and the commons are now assured
facts.
Drown Hall has been described in
a previous letter. The work of erec-
tion will be commenced this summer.
The commons will be operated in
Drown Hall.
Mr. Carnegie has given the Uni-
versity $100,000 for the dormitory,
which is to cost about $300,000. The
rest of the fund will be raised by
the alumni.
Owing to certain obstacles con-
nected with the charter of the Uni-
versity, it has been impossible for
men wishing to erect buildings for
234
THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
the UnlyerBity, to do so, and this is
the first large gift ever received b^
Lehigh from an outside source.
The money for Drown Hall was
raised by the alumni and the fund Is
complete. When these buildings are
finished student life will center far
more about the Campus than at pres-
ent and It is expected that there will
be a movement among the fraterni-
ties to build chapter houses on or
near the Campus.
A more complete change than this
would make in student life here can
scarcely be imagined.
The fraternity houses are now
scattered over the two Bethlehems,
the distance between the most wide-
ly separated ones being very nearly
two miles. The non-fraternity men
live in private houses and are even
more widely separated.
Affairs in the house have been go-
ing along smoothly. We held our
third initiation on March 2, taking in
three men of the Freshman class.
Bros. Reeder, '06, More, '06, and
Hamilton, '05, assisted at the cere-
mony.
Bro. Mendoza, '03, re-entered col-
lege in February for the purpose of
obtaining his degree of Mechanical
Engineer, thus raising our number
to twenty.
The basketball season at Lehigh
proved successful. We made a good
showing in all our games, and won
seven out of thirteen. We defeated
Albright (104 to 8), the Indians,
Penn. State, Susquehanna, Swarth-
more (one game), Stevens, and C.
C. N. Y.; and were defeated by Penn.,
Princeton, Manhattan, Swarthmore
(one game), Pratt Institute, and

numbers, however, are by no means

may say without any "optimistic va-
porings" that the general prosperity
of the chapter is better than it has
been for several years. We lose only
one man by graduation, Bro. H. H.
Mitchell, who is second in his class.
We have pledged the best six men in
the graduating class of the prep,
school, which gives us a good start
for next year.
We recently found it advisable to
purchase a billiard table which has
since been Installed in our rooms.
Our thoughts at this time of the
year are chiefly engaged in making
plans for camp, which is the crown-
ing event of our fraternity year. We
have been compelled to give up the
place which has been ours for the
last five years, and will camp about
five miles farther up the Muskin-
gum river.
In college activities we have cap-
tured several important offices. In
this respect the contest is not so
much to get the office as to do the
work better than it has been done
before. Bro. L. G. Stealy, t)7, has
been elected student manager of the

With the recent introduction of
two-cent fares into Ohio we trust
that the Ohio chapter may feel not
quite so isolated as formerly.

On March 24th, at our annual
meeting, the reports showed a very
satisfactory year. Since the last an-
nual meeting our membership has
been increased by four; this shows
the new rushing system, which we
have adopted, to be a success.
Bro. Waugh was recently elected
president of the Athletic Association.
Bro. Beckwith is secretary of the
Canadian Intercollegiate Rugby
Football Union; also secretary of the
Athletic Association, and president of
the football club. Bro. SpafTord is
manager of the football team.
Sixty-eight degrees were conferred
in the Applied Science and Law Fac-
ulties at the convocation, April 27.
Bros. McCuaig, Davidson, Pedley and
Hadley were well up on the list of
the graduating class in Science and
received the degree of B. Sc. Bro.
Woodyatt took second place in third
year Electricaf Engineering. Bro.
Walker took first rank, general stand-
ing, and prize of $25 in second year
Law.
Bro. W. Stewart secured first rank,
general standing, scholarship of $100
and first prize in Roman Law, in first
year Law. Bro. T. Stewart, of the
same year, won first rank, general
standing, scholarship of $100, and
second prize in Roman Law.
We already have several good men
in view for next year, and if every-
thing turns out as expected, the Mc-
Gill Chapter will be stronger than
ever, when college opens in Septem-
ber.

WE have just returned from the
Spring recess and are set-

AT present the University of Min-

students, often in couples, strolling

beautiful and animated appearance.

THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
However, this is not true of the en-
tire campus, for it is greatly torn up
wliere three new buildings are in pro-
cess of construction. One, the Alice
Shevlin Hall or Women's Building, is
being erected as a memorial hall by
Mr. Thomas Shevlin on the site of the
old Main, which was burned a year
ago last fall. The second is a bacteri-
ological laboratory now almost com-
pleted. It is said that it will be one
of the finest in the country. The
third is the new Main Building, which
Is to cost, with equipment, $410,000.
As examinations are only a few
weeks distant, the more studious are
laboring hard in preparation, al-
though many are interested in ath-
letics. Owing to the lateness of the
spring and the former early closing
of the college year, Biinnesota has
never had a first-class baseball team,
but this year college closes two weeks
later, and the prospects for a cham-
pionship team are excellent Our
track team is laboring diligently and
promises to carry off many honors.
The Tennis Club is also actively en-
gaged in their chosen sport, the
courts having been put into excel-
lent condition.
In the past Minnesota's great rally-
ing point has been around football,
and as a result we have had many
championship teams. When the re-
cent football agitation arose and a
revision of the rules was effected
much disappointment was felt among
the students, but they are now pre-
pared to take things as they come,
and have new hopes for the continu-
ance of a game as good as the for-
mer, or better.
This year has been one of great
significance in our history: the fac-
ulty have assumed the right to con-
trol student affairs to the extent that
they have a veto power over any act
about to be executed by any student
organiaztion. They have also organ-
ized an auditing committee, which
with avidity delves into the workings
of all student organizations. These
steps which have been taken by the
faculty are very unpopular among the
students, but it is expepcted that they
will place the student enterprises on
a safer basis and prevent mismanage-
ment. The "Minnesota Daily," the
official paper of the University, has
dissolved its close corporation, and is
to be operated in the future by the
subscribers. The "Minnesota BCaga-
zine" has changed from an oligarchi-
cal to a democratic form of manage-
ment; for in the past the retiring
board of editors elected their suc-
cessors, while now the subscribers
elect them.
Our chapter has organized an or-
chestra of twelve pieces. With this
club, in which are a number of ex-
cellent musicians, and with the as-
sistance of our vocalists, we gave an
entertainment. Judging from the
compliments received we may well
assume that it was a success. With
the proceeds we purchased a new
bookcase for our library, and added
to the furnishings of the house.
The academic fraternities have or-
ganized a baseball league. As there
are seventeen of these fraternities,
much interest in being taken In the
contests. A few weeks ago the last
of a series of games was played to
decide the inter-fraternity bowling
championship. The Zeta Psi team
won by a large margin. Some time
during the latter part of May the
Greeks will hold a track meet Last
year Delta U. won third place, and
obtained as a prize a beautiful leather
pennant made by one of the sorori-
ties. The fraternity men of our col-
lege further meet in their class or-
ganizations. The Triangle Club and
the Tillikum Club, the former made
up of Sophomores, the latter of
Freshmen. These societies are of
great value in that they bring the
men of the various chapters into
social relations, and thus tend to fos-
ter friendliness.
The Annual Banquet of Delta U's
in Minnesota was held on May 7.
The Minnesota Delta U. Alumni As-
sociation, the Minnesota Delta U.
Club, and the active chapter all unite
for this banquet.
We await eagerly the summer
holidays, and extend to all our bro-
thers a hearty wish that they may
have a happy and profitable vacation,
and to all the graduates our best
wishes for their success in life.

Active Membership, 25.
NEBRASKA commends the arti-
cles which have recently ap-
peared in the "Quarterly*' urging
chapter editors to abide strictly by
facts, allowing prognosticattona to
develop themselves. It is usually
when the future looks brightest that
something happens. We plead guilty
to the fault, but sincerely promise
our alumni readers that hereafter
whatever they read in our letters
shall be strictly the existing, present
truth.
The material growth of the Uni-
versity during the past year has been
gratifying. Two buildings have re-
cently been completed — ^the Brace
laboratory of physics and the Admin-
istration building. The Brace labor-
atory is situated on the west side of
the campus and the Administration
building on the south, just across
trom the Conservatory. One wing of
the Museum and Geological labora-
tory is being constructed. It is situ-
ated just north of the Armory and
when completed in the fall will give
the Medical and Zoological depart-
ments the entire use of their build-
ing. Excavation has begun for the
Temple, the building of which stir-
red up considerable agitation over
the State because Rockefeller con-
tributed two-thirds of the money for
its construction. The erection of the
building is significant, first, of the
fearless stand which Chancellor An-
drews has taken throughout the
whole controversy, and secondly, of
the fact that it is situated outside the
campus. It has been felt for a long
time that the campus was overcrowd-
ed and this seems to be the begin-
ning of a future enlargment.
But the bulding improvement has
not been confined to the University.
Phi Kappa Psi has purchased a cor-
ner lot at 14 th and R streets and
plans the erection of a house in the
near future. It is reported upon
good authority that Sigma Chi has
purchased a three story house at
518 No. 16th, which is now occupied
by Pi Beta Phi. Phi Delta Theta
rents their house from one of their
old members.
At the indoor track meet held on
Charter day, several University rec-
ords were smashed. Bro. Hagensick,
'06, in the pole vault, cleared the bar
at 11 feet, % inches, while Bro. Win-
ters won the 25 yard dash in 3 1-5.
True to our new resolves, we will
say nothing as to the track team,
but the above records show that our
chances are bright. In the class
meets, Bros. Sage and Winters were
members of the freshman relay team
which won the University champion-
ship.
Interest is running high over the
interfraternity baseball league. At
present only the first series have been
played, and the strength of the teams
is so nearly equal that the most en-
thusiastic fans refuse to predict the
pennant winner. Our first game was
with the Alpha Tau's, which we won
by runnng in eight scores in the last
inning. The games are being ably
reported by Bro. Swan, '08, who ia
athletic editor of the "Nebraskan."
The Freshmen have refused to be
outdone by the other classes and
have formed an inter-fraternity so-
ciety of their own, called the Spikes.
Their avowed object of organization
is for better acquaintance. Bros.
Sears and Smith are members.
This year it was voted by all the
classes to combine the various publi-
cations heretofore issued into one
book to be called the "Comhusker,"
which will be issued annually. Bro.
Burr, '08, was elected business man-
ager for the initial volume, which
comes out next year. This makes
three successive issues of our col-
lege annual that Delta Upsilon men
have run.
Bro. Davis,'06, has been elected to
membership in Theta Kappa Nu, the
honorary fraternity of scholarship
for law students.
We have just had enjoyable visits
from Bro. P. H. Thomson, '99, now
professor of German at Grinnel Col-
lege, Iowa, and from Bro. J. W. Bat-
tin, Cornell, '90, a leading attorney
of Omaha.

THE Chapter gave its annual for-
mal party at the Ravina Cas-
ino on the night of April 21, and it
was one of the most successful that
we have ever given. The place, the
music and the guests were all condu-
cive to an enjoyable time. Our
chaperones were from among the
alumni and the parents of several of
the chapter members.
They were Mr. and Mrs. Mark W.
Cresop, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Grant
Sisson, Mr. and Mrs. Carl David King,
Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Singleton, Rev.
and Mrs. H. Gratton Moore, Dr. and
Mrs. Theo. J. Redelings, Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. H. Knapp, and Mr. and Mrs.
Thos. Diven Huff.
Besides those from about school,
we had as our guests the members
of the Chicago Chapter. On May 4
they will give their annual party, and
a large number of the fellows expect
to return the courtesy which they
showed us by accepting our invita-
tion. Special cars were run both go-
ing and returning. The programs
were in the fraternity colors, and con-
tained an insert of the coat of arms.
On April 9 the chapter give a
"smoker to its alumni. Tobacco,
cider and doughnuts were provided.
The freshmen entertained by singing
original verses, and succeeded in
making a rhyme for every alumnus
present. As it grew later all gath-
ered in the parlor and sang the fra-
ternity songs. Dr. Pooley, one of the
charter members of the chapter, grave
an interesting talk about the old dayB
and he promised to bring out all the
"old boys" some time this spring.
The annual play given by the Jun-
ior class was presented at the Ra-
vina Theater on March 31 with Bro.
W. Clay Smoot in one of the leadings
parts.

ful point winners.
We are fortunate this year in los-
ing only one man through gradua-
tion. All the other members of the
chapter expect to return next fall.
Bro. Scott has occupied a pulpit in
Braidwood, 111., for several years and
upon gn^aduation will continus his
duties as a pastor.
It will be of interest to the alumni

been made to have him here in time
for the commencement exercises.

"The Senate was in executive ses-

THE winter term of the university
calendar has been brought to
a successful conclusion. We are now
quite well installed in the work of
the Spring term which will be con-
cluded about the second week in
June. Bro. Fried, '09, was called to
his home in Cleveland and has not
been able as yet to return to his
duties in the University. His absence
is a distinct loss to the Chapter.
February 17th three undergradu-
ates were initiated making the chap-
ter roll the largest in point of num
hers in the history of the chapter.
During the last session of the Ohio
Legislature coRsiderable importance
was attached to the development and
growth of the "State University."
Two other colleges in this state have
been the recipients of a considerable
endowment by the state legislature.
Those colleges have endeavored to
make use of the money given to them
by the State in the equipping of col-
leges for the pursuitof scientific study
and post-gn^aduate work. A Bill was
introduced in the House by Represen-
tative Eagleson to make a permanent
levy for the university which would
annually net a sum large enough to
enable the university authorities to
meet the growing demands made
upon the University. The two smaller
colleges contested the passage of this
bill. All possible pressure was brought
to bear upon the members of the
State legislature for the purpose of
defeating the measure. The issue was
''shall there be one great university
in Ohio, or shall there be three
smaller colleges?"
The University, however, won a
signal victory. The two other col-
leges were given a slight donation
upon the condition that they confine
their efforts to the college of liberal
arts and the development of normal
school work. In the preamble of the
bill, as it was finally passed by the
legislature, it was declared to be the
policy of the state to "build up and
maintain one great University and
that University shall be and Is the
Ohio State University."
April 20 and 21 the first carnival
in the history of the niversity was
given at the Armory. It met with
pronounced success and the various
organizations which were in charge
have decided to make the event a
permanent affair. The proceeds are
to be given to the athletic association
for the improvement of the athletic
field and other necessary equipment.
The exhibit of this chapter at the car-
nival seemed to meeft with great
favor.
The baseball season has opened.
Felger, '06, is captain of the team
and is covering the sack at third base.
Barrington, *09, was successful in
making the position of short-stop,
and is relied upon for his heavy hit-
ting.
The basketball season was termin-
ated with all games won by the uni-

verslty team, save one, which was
played abroad. Barrlngton. '09, play-
ed a good game as left-forward, hav-
ing a larger number of points scored
to his credit than any other player.
Track team work Is receiving con-
siderable attention and notwithstand-
ing the absence of several of the
team's former "stars," much hope Is
entertained that Coach Sweetland
will be as successful In developing a
winning team, as he was during last
season. Schory, '09, of football fame
and Perry, '09, are promising candi-
dates.
In an Indoor meet with Indiana
during the month of March our team
won a decisive victory over the
"Hooslers," who have always been
*'SUte's" "hoodoo."
A woman's building, for which an
appropriation was made by the last
legislature, will be erected soon on
the university campus. The new
Chemistry building and the Mining
and Ceramics buildings are complet-
ed, which relieves the congested con-
dition of the other buildings.
Our annual reception and dance
was given March 6, many of our
alumni being present. We had a
thoroughly delightful time. We are
anticipating with a great deal of
pleasure the annual picnic-dance
which the chapter will give early In
June.

THE college year closes with a de-
gree of uncertainty concerning
the future of the Pennsylvania chap-
ter. We have decided to vacate the
house we are now occupying and have
as yet no other house In view. It Is
a hard matter to find -a house near
the college that Is suitable for a fra-
ternity and we have been hampered
In the past, by a house which we con-
sidered not up to what we ought to
have. If desirable quarters are
found before the fall term opens,
next year ought to be a good one for
the chapter.
The University has again suffered
loss through fire — the Mechanical En-
gineering building and Power plant
being burned. The damage was con-
siderable, but not much time was lost
to the students as they were able to
take up their work In the new en-
gineering building which Is just about
completed. This Is one of the biggest
and best equipped buildings of Its
kind In the country and will gn^eatly
Increase the facilities for the study
of engineering at Pennsylvania.

& Co., Bankers," was the usual suc-
cess that Is looked for every Easter.
It was produced fifteen times In all

siders.
This year bids fair to be one of the
best In athletics that the University
has ever had. We have already won
four championships and the baseball
and track teams and the crew have
all started out well. We are repre-
sented on the river by Atkln, Galey

Galey was on the Ivy Ball commit-

SINCE the writing of our last let-

ance has occurred, although in March
the Spring examinations were safe-
ly encountered; but with the coming
of spring all athletic interests are
centered in the track and baseball
teams, while everyone is also look-
ing forward to commencement week.
Bros. Wood, '08, and Powle, '09, are
doing excellent work on the track
team and Bro. Munger, '08, retains
his position as first base on the Var-
sity nine, which has unusually bright
prospects of a successful season.
Bro. Wilson, '06, has been appoint-
ed to compete in the Ailing Prize
Debate, to be held during commence-
ment and Bro. Napier, '07, is alter-
nate on the Junior team. Bro. Wal-
ter has been elected Senior member
of the University Council.
Although we regret that seven of
our strongest brothers are groing to
leave us in June, yet we are looking
forward to a strong incoming class
for next year, for already in our ac-
tive spring rushing we have pledged
four of the best men in the High
Schools here. Bro. Hunter, formerly
of the class of '03 has re-entered col-
lege this term In the class of '08 to
complete his course.
On April 21 and 22 we had the
pleasure of entertaining three of our
Tufts brothers, who were with the
Tufts musical clubs on their annual
western trip.
At this writing we are all center-
ing our interests in the preparation
of the annual chapter play, which is
to be given on May 25. Also prepa-

THE most important event of the
last quarter is "Junior Week,"
which is the one week in particular
that the "Tech." man devotes to fuss-
ing and having a good time in general.
What with the Fraternity recep-
tions, the Tech show, the Musical
Club's concert and dance, the "Jun-
ior Prom" and the issue of the
Junior book, "Technique," there Is
something doing about all of the
time.

THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
For the first time in four years the
Tech Chapter of Delta U. gave a re-
ception and it was certainly a great
affair. The house was never in bet-
ter condition for such an occasion
and what with the flowers and music,
the lunch and last, but not least, the
large number of the fair sex present,
it was an event which will long be
remembered as a very happy one.
The Musical Club's concert and dance
was held on the following evening
and has become quite a popular occa-
sion with Tech men.
The show this year, entitled "The
Freshman," was one of the most suc-
cessful plays ever given by Tech men.
Bro. Vonnegut, '08, was again one
of the principals in the show. Bro.
Foss, '09, was in the chorus.
The "Technique," the college an-
nual, was edited by Bro. Donnewald,
'07. Bro. Barnes, '08, and Bro.
Vonnegut, '08, were elected to the
new "Technique" Board. Bro.
Brooks, '08, this year's manager of
"The Tech" has been elected busi-
ness manager of the '08 Technique."
Bro. Mitchell, '09, is on the News
Staff of "The Tech."
On the fifth of May a banquet
was given to our Senior delegation
at Hotel Westminster and a general
good time was indulged in, the Sen-
iors making their farewell addresses.
Bro. Bridgman, '08, and Bro. Sher-
man, '09, are both pitching on their
respective class baseball teams and
are expected to twirl rings about our
neighbors, Chi Phi, in our annual
game.
Since the last issue we have had
visits from Bros. Zapf, '95; Sherman,
'95; Hough, '00; Rogers and Parsons
of Union; Roberts, California, Clift,
Lehigh; Jacques, Columbia; Young,
Syracuse; and Lanterman, Lafayette.

IN the last letter mention was made
of the appointment of a Commis-
sion by the government to recom-
mend advisable changes in the Uni-
versity management. This <K)mmi8-
sion after visiting a number of
American Universities and holding
almost daily sessions for three
months have brought in their report
They make three radical suggestions:
1. That a Board of Governors be cre-
ated responsible for the whole man-
agement of the University; 2. That
the president be given enlarged ex-
ecutive and advisory powers; 3,
That a Feculty Committee of Arts-
CHAPTER LETTERS AND ALUMNI NEWS
251
be created to give the teaching body
more direct control of the curriculum
and educational policy of the Uni-
Tersity.
The CouTOcation Hall begun last
fall is rapidly nearing completion and
it is hoped that it will be finished for
the Commencement exercises in June.
Our Hockey team, although strong-
er than for many years, was so ham-
pered through lack of practice that
they were unable to gain the cham-
pionship of the Intercollegiate league.
It was clearly shown, however, that
their plasring was much faster than
that of the Provincial league. Three
brothers played on the Toronto team
as stated before. Bro. Herb CHarke,
'08, has lately been elected captain
for the coming year. Lacrosse and
baseball, particularly the former,
are the only games played here now.
Last year the Lacrosse team won the
University championship of America
and hopes to again this year. We
liave two men on the team, P. I/.
Fraser, '08, and B. V. Graham, '07,
captain. Tlie cricket team will soon
be practicing and Bros. Mclutyre, '05,
TyUer, '06, and Reade, '05, will
probably make the team. Bro. Weir,
'08, has been appointed manager for
the Intermediate football team for
next fall. Bro. Loudon, '05, who
coached the Argonaut "eight" last
summer at Baltimore when they took
a substantial number of seconds otf
the world's record, will again coach
the crew at Henley this summer.
Bro MacPherson, '07, has for the
second time been returned at the
bead of the poll as a member of the
athletic directorate, the body which
lias absolute control of athletics.
Bver)rthing around the University
\s dead owing to the presence or
proximity of the annual examina-
tions. Those in the School of Prac-
tical Science have already begun,
while those in the Arts and Medicine
start on the first of May. The last
activities ceased with elections of offi-
cers for the various Faculty socie-
ties about the middle of March. The
most interesting of these are the Lit-
erary and Scientific Society elections
in University college, which are ani-
mated by the frenzied struggles of
two strong parties. This year the
"Old Set" Party went down after
holding office for a number of years,
before the assault of the "Unionists."
Unlike most of the fraternities here
our active members are almost equal-
ly divided in their party allegiance.
Other elections have given a number
of positions to Delta Upsilon. Bro.
Coults, '07, is editor of "Varsity"
the University journal for next year.
Bro. Scully, '06, is chairman of the
committee having the commencement
program in hand. Bro. Kylie, '01,
is President of the University of Tor-
onto Union and is pushing energetic-
ally a scheme for securing a build-
ing as clubhouse, once owned by the
"Toronto Athletic Club," but now
occupied by the Technical School. If
successful Toronto will have one of
the finest clubhouses on the conti-
nent. Both our Juniors have been
elected to the "Thirteen" Club, a so-
cial club of the most prominent Sen-
iors. Bro. Anderson, '07, is secre-
tary-treasurer for the club. All of
the Fraternity who applied have been
elected to membership in the Histor-
ical Club, an exclusive upperclass so-
ciety.
By the end of May or the middle of
June the brothers will be practically
all out of the city and most of them
will be working in one way or an-
other; many of them will be in the
bush, fire ranging or surveying.
We have lately enjoyed the visits
of Bro. Keap of Harvard and Bro.
Davidson of McGill.

AT the present writing we have
just returned from the spring
recess, to enter upon the final term
of the college year. The chapter now
numbers twenty-four active members,
and we have also pledged C. T. Rob-
inson, '09, who will be initiated in
the near future. We lose by gradua-
tion this spring six brothers, all of
whom are prominent in college life.
The most important event which
has occurred recently at Tufts is the
election of Dr. Frederick W. Hamil-
ton, of the class of 1880, to the
presidency of the college. Dr. Ham-
ilton was chosen acting president
shortly after the death of President
Capen a year ago. He has been a
member of the Board of Trustees
since 1896, and has been for several
years chairman of the executive com-
mittee of that body. He is therefore
familiar with conditions at the Col-
lege, financial and otherwise. He is
a member of Theta Delta Chi, and of
Phi Beta Kappa. For some years
after his graduation he was engaged
in railroad work, and then entered
the ministry. We look forward to
a sound and progressive policy under
his administration.
The plan of Commons Dining
which was put in operation this year
has not proved successful and has
been abandoned. Two managers
have failed to give satisfaction, and
the Trustees have removed the re-
striction placed on the fraternity
dining rooms, but we have joined
for the remainder of the year a co-
operative club which uses the Com-
mons Building. Next year we shall
eat in our house again.
Work on the Carnegie Library is
progressing rapidly and It promises to
be an imposing and convenient struc*
ture.
The musical clubs have just return-
en from a two weeks' trip through
Connecticut and New York. Bros.

THE baseball and track teams and
the fast approaching com-
mencement are the topics which oc-
cupy the most attention in college at
present. With our new diamond
completed the outlook for a winning
baseball team is bright and Union
should win the majority of the games
on her schedule. Enthusiastic meet-
ings are held every Friday night on
the campus, and the songs and yells
arouse a lot of good college spirit.
The track men are getting in good
work in preparation for the coming
meets. Bro. Reed, '06, and Bro.
Closson are both reliable point win-
ners, the former in the long distance
runs, the latter in the weights. Bro.
Wey ranch, '08, bids fair to win his
"U" this spring on the track team,
while Bros. Striebert, Roosa and Mc-
Cormick, '09, are promising candi-
dates for that honor.
The Seniors in the house are all
busy with their thesis work and com-
mencement plans. We lose the large
delegation of seven men, which will
make quite a gap to be filled.
Bo. Reed, '06, is In line for a Phi

The Senior ball is to be held in
the new electrical laboratory which is
now nearly finished.
The Glee club is in the best of
shape. Bro. Reed, '06, is leader and
Bro. Parsons, '07, manager of the
clubs. Bros. Snow and Davies, '08,
are among its members.
Tennis is to receive a boom at Un-
ion this spring and will be supported
by the college. Bro. Snow, '08, play-
ed on last year's team, and is again
a candidate. Bro/ McCormick, '09,
will also try for the team.
Basketball has Just been recog-
nized as a branch of college athletics
at Union, and a manager and captain
are soon to be elected. Bro. Snow,
'08, has captained his class team for
two years.
Our number has been swelled by
the addition of three more men since
last term. On March 13 we held a
smoker, and initiated Arthur Edgar
Davies of the class of 1908. Bro.
Goff, '07, and Bro. Kitchen, '08, both

appears in "new clothes" this
spring. Our chapter house, the old-
est house in Willlamstown, has Just
been repainted and the grounds and
tennis court have been put in fine
shape for the spring term and House
Party week. Indoors, new rugs, new
curtains and fresh paint vastly im-
prove the rooms downstairs. We are
now better fitted to receive and enter-
tain our brothers than ever before.
Willlamstown is at its best in the ear-

will accommodate twenty-two people.
We hope to give a more detailed de-

^LEBURY CONVENTION PROGRAM.
HEADQUARTERS: ADDISON HOUSE, MIDDLEBURY, VT.
A LL visitors will be met at the trains and conducted at once to the
-^*^ Addison House, where the rooming committee will be stationed and
rooms in the hotel and nearby places will be assigned. Meals will be taken
at the Sargent, Logan and Addison Houses, and the ticket system will be
used. All business and social meetings are held near these hotels and
within three minutes' walk of the depot. Rates are low at Middlebury
and large delegations are expected. Chapters are requested to send the
names of tlieir delegates at least a week in advance to the secretary of the
convention, Arthur E. Bestor, 571 1 Kimbark Ave., Chicago, 111.
Delegates to the convention should reach Middlebury not later than
Thursday, October 25th, in time to present their credentials at the first
business session at ten A. M., but come the night before for the smoker
if you can. The convention, however, assumes but 48 hours' hotel ex-
penses for each delegate.
RAILROAD RATES.
Arrangements have been made with most of the railroads for the
usual convention rates of a fare and a third for the round trip. Every
delegate and visitor traveling under this plan will pay full fare to Mid-
dlebury and should ask the ticket agent for a certificate, which will
entitle him to a return ticket at one-third fare. Do not forget to ask for
a certificate, as without this the reduced fare cannot be obtained, and the
difference will not be included in the equalization of rates, except in the
case of delegates traveling over roads not in the above arrangements.
Make inquiries of your ticket agent well in advance, and if certificates are
not issued write to S. S. Hall, Box 194, New York city, for information
as to the nearest point at which they can be obtained.
Middlebury is situated on the Rutland Railroad, about four hours
from Montreal, seven and one-half from Boston, four from Troy and
eleven from New York. Through trains, with Pullmans, run from all
these points over the Rutland, stopping at Middlebury. As Middlebury
is a summer tourist center its hotels are better and larger than is usual
in a small town.

*15ack: to the VOODS*'*
On Saturday, October 27, those brothers who can remain over will
be taken to Lake Dunmore by team and a cold limch will be served on
the rocks at the "Cascades," a beautiful spot where a mountain stream
dashes down to the lake. Then those brothers who are strenuously
inclined may walk over the mountains to Silver Lake, a little sheet of
water nestled in the hills, and thence to Bread Loaf Inn, a hard nine
miles' walk. Those who like their fun in milder doses will ride through
the woods to the same point, where a game dinner will be served, and
then there will come a wild twelve-mile ride down into the valley for the
midnight trains. This trip will take the brothers into the heart of the
Green Mountains, beside rushing brooks and through the forest, and it
is thought that those who have never visited this region will find it a
novel and enjoyable feature. The country is full of interest to the
botanist and geologist, and the fishing is excellent; small game abound,
and deer are seen, but the crowd will probably be too noisy to accomplish
much with shy game.
THE BANQUET SPEAKERS.
The price of the banquet, which will be the convention climax, has
been set low so that every visitor can attend. Things are cheap in Ver-
mont, and the price does not indicate poor service. The toastmaster will
be Rev. James L. Barton, Middlebury, '81, of Boston, Mass., and speakers
who have already agreed to come are Hon. Fletcher D. Proctor, Amherst,
'82; Hon. Frank C. Partridge, Amherst, '82, ex-minister to Venezuela
and President of the Vermont Delta Upsilon Qub ; U. S. Senator Proctor ;

MIDDLEBURY SEMI-CENTENNIAU
The Middlebury Chapter entertains in honor of her fiftieth year.
Founded in 1856, the chapter looks back upon half a century of life in
the fraternity and invites all brothers in Delta Upsilon to come and
celebrate with her the achievements of fifty years and clasp hands in
fraternal good wishes for the years to be. On Thursday evening, Octo-
ber 25, short exercises will be held in celebration of the chapter's life and
the orator of the evening will be Rev. Cortland R. Myers, Rochester, '87,
of the Brooklyn Tabernacle. Hon E. B. Sherman, honorary President
of the fraternity and a charter member of the Middlebury Chapter, will
preside, and it is expected that many of the founders of the chapter will
be present. A poem will be read by Prof. Prentiss C. Hoyt, Middlebury,
'89, professor of English literature at Qark University. The exercises
will be followed by a reception-ball, Doring's Military Band of Troy
furnishing the music.
It is expected that music will be quite a feature at this convention;
the new song-book will be out then, and strong-lunged choristers will be
prepared to lead off at every opening. Literature with detailed informa-
tion will be mailed to each chapter about October i ; the Middlebury
Chapter wants a big attendance, and members of the committee will be
glad to correspond with any of the brothers regarding rates or other
matters of interest.

SOME NEW DELTA UPSILON HOMES.
THE NEV HO»!E OF THE CALIFORNIA CHAPTEIL
By Ralph L. Langworthy. California, '05.
HP HE California Chapter is rejoicing in the fact that it is now housed
^ in its own home. Four years of steadily directed effort on the part
of both alumni and undergradutes have at last successfully culminated
in the possession of a splendid house. And the most satisfactory feature
of the four years' effort is that the money for the house has been raised
almost without exception from the members of the California Chapter.
As early as the autumn of 1899, although the Chapter had then been
in existence only a little over three years, a plan was adopted to create a
fund for the acquirement of a chapter home. This plan was, in brief, that
as each member left college he pledged himself to pay fifty dollars towards
the fulfillment of this object, this sum to be paid within twenty years
from the date of the pledge. In addition to the alumni subscriptions thus
obtained the active chapter pledged itself to contribute a certain sum
annually. In this way a start was made, but in the winter of 1902, on
account of the rapidly increasing real estate values in Berkeley, and the
decreasing number of desirable lots, it was realized that more active
measures must be taken.
The result was the formation of the Delta Upsilon House Association^
of which the original directors were Roland L. Oliver, '00 ; Hart H. North,
'95 ; Ralph C. Daniels, '99 ; F. Herbert Dam, '96, and Norman F. Titus,
04. Too much credit cannot be g^ven to the members of this original
Board of Directors for the amount of time-taking, exacting work which
they undertook and performed. And appreciation is due also to the pro-
visional committee w^hich preceded them.
On September 26, 1902, the Delta Upsilon House Association was
incorporated under the laws of the State of California. The capital stock
was authorized to consist of 1,000 shares of $50.00 each. An excellent lot
at the corner of Channing Way and Bowditch street was purchased for
$7,000.00, Brother Ralph C. Daniels loaning $700 to make up the required
amount with the $6,300 the association had already on hand.
The financial scheme by means of which the house has become a
reality is very simple. It consists of stock, bonds and loans. The idea
has always been foremost that the association must be independent and
self-supporting; in other words, it was not designed to be a charitable
institution. Every dollar that has been contributed towards the acquire-
ment of the chapter house the association expects some day to be able to
return with interest. To this end, in order to lessen the original indebted-
ness, stock was sold, this comprising by far the larger portion of money
SOME NEW DELTA UPSILON HOMES 261
subscribed. When the individual contributor required greater security
than that represented by stock, bonds bearing 3 or 4 per cent interest were
issued. The interest on these bonds was cumulative for the first five
years, thus giving the association the opportunity to reduce quickly what-
ever mortgaged indebtedness it was found necessary to incur. In several
cases outright g^fts were made, and from several alumni of other chap-
ters unexpected aid has been received. As a result of these various
methods of obtaining funds the association is in a position to rapidly
decrease the mortgage loan, which comprised the final addition to the
funds.
With tlie rental which the active chapter pays for the house, and with
the additional stock and bonds which individual members will acquire from
time to time, the future of the association will take care of itself. The
present Board of Directors, the board which built the house, consists of
Roland L. Oliver, '00 ; A. C. Wyckoflf, '97 ; E. R. Hallett, '05 ; R. L. Lang-
worthy, 05, and J. B. Landfield, Cornell, '04.
The construction of the house was begun in April and completed in
November, 1905. On February 2d, 1906, a formal house-warming was
tendered the college public by the active chapter, and on March 3d the
alumni did their share in a successful dedication.
The house occupies a corner lot 100 by 125 feet, and is within five
minutes' walk of the University buildings. The eflFect of the house from
the outside is one of massive simplicity. The design follows the archi-
tecture of the Italian renaissance, with the addition of a few mission
details. The exterior is finished in stucco, and is painted a soft yellowish
gray. The roof is tile, red.
The lines are severe and strong, and the proportions of the building,
which are very carefully worked out, add a charm to the whole effect.
The interior is well adapted to the social and home features of a fra-
ternity house. The main floor consists of the hall, lounging, dining and
chapter rooms. These rooms are panelled and beamed with a mission
eflFect in fumed oak, and are so arranged that they can be thrown into one
long hall whose dimensions are approximately 30x60 feet.
The second and third floors contain apartments for twenty men, and
are provided with the comforts and conveniences of a modern home. The
tinting and staining and the rugs, curtains and hangings harmonize
throughout the house. For this charming eflFect Brother Roland L. Oliver
is responsible.
The house, lot and furnishings represent an investment of about
$26,000. A number of highly prized individual gifts have been made by
individuals and classes. Brother John A. Brewer, '03, presented the chap-
ter with a splendid set of furniture for the dining room. The Delta U.
mothers supplied the table linen, silverware and china service, and the
262 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
Delta U. sisters contributed cushions. Qasses and relatives have also been
very generous with gifts. It is the hope of the members of the chapter
that individuals and outgoing classes will continue to endeavor by further
donations to make the chapter house a real home in every sense. The
chapter desires its new house to be a home of Delta U's, a place in which
they will rejoice to live, to return to in after years, and to welcome their
brothers from other chapters.
THE BOVDCMN CHAPTER HOUSE.
By Samuel B. Furbish, Amherst, '98.
'TpHE Bowdoin Chapter of Delta Upsilon was forced to own a chapter
•*■ house by conditions arising from the fact that six of the other fra-
ternities had homes of their own. One of the first questions asked when
rushing a man would be, "Where is your chapter house?" and our lack
resulted in the loss of many men who were otherwise very favorably im-
pressed with the chapter . In the fall of 1903 a corporation was planned,
and seven alumni became the original charter members, incorporating
under the laws of Maine in October, 1903, with $10,000 of capital stock,
in shares of $25 each. The sum of $1,600 was promptly subscribed and a
lot containing nearly two acres was purchased on the main street of the
town, separated from the college campus by the lot of the Delta Kappa
Epsilon fraternity and within sight of three others of the college societies.
While discussing plans as to the advisability of building a new house
at once, it happened that one of the rich men of the town died and his
estate went on the market. As we found that his residence could be easily
converted into a chapter house at comparatively small expense, it was
purchased and moved to our lot during the summer. In the fall, when
college opened. Delta Upsilon had a house that was second to none at
Bowdoin. The picture does not do it justice, for in its new location the
house is situated about one hundred feet back from the street, with a
broad lawn running up to the sweeping driveway that swings in from both
sides of the lot. As }Ou look at the picture the fifty-foot ell and fifty-six-
foot addition are not visible. As you go up the granite steps to the front
door and enter you are confronted by a hallway fifteen feet in width, five
feet of which is occupied by a flight of black walnut stairs that run up
through the three stories.
The ground floor to the right is occupied by a large general room
with a large fireplace. The dining room is directly at the rear of this, and
has a seating capacity of forty men. Both of these rooms have patterned
hardwood floors. The ceilings are hand decorated and in keeping with the
rest of the rooms. On the other side of the hall are a parlor and two
studies. On the second floor are three studies that are counterparts of

the two studies and parlor below . The two rooms directly over the general
room and dining room are used for studies, and are occupied by three
men each. The third floor is divided in the same manner as the second
and the rooms, five in all, are used as sleeping rooms. This floor has a
toilet room at the end of the hall. The kitchen, laundry, store rooms and
matron's rooms occupy the ground floor of the ell. Over these rooms
are four rooms, two chambers, a study and a bath room.
The addition at the rear of the ell is perhaps one of the prizes of the
house, for the ground floor is a sheathed dance hall fifty-six feet by thirty-
two. This is also used for banquets and receptions. Above this hall are
seven rooms and a bath for the help.
The expense of running this house is yet to be decided by experience,
but it seems probable that the income from the rent of the rooms to the
chapter as a chapter house and to the boys as suites will meet all require-
ments. The dining room expenses are met by charging $4 per week for
board.
Summing it all up, we think that the house we have, heated through-
out by steam, lighted with electricity, and with complete plumbing and
costing about $12,000, is about the best chapter house at Bowdoin.
THE CHAPTER HOUSE AT BROWN.
By George Hurley, Brown, '07.
/^UR chapter house is a large-roomed, large-planned building, with a
^^ capacious suite on the first floor used as general fraternity rooms*
The largest room, used as a reception hall on holidays and as an assembly
room on work days, is finished in mahogany and attractively furnished
with heavy leather and mahogany chairs. The smoking room, the real
living room of the chapter, done in g^een oak paneling with red furnish-
ings, is a warm, cosy and cheery room. The library is furnished in blue^
and the dining room furnished in ebonized wood.
There are eighteen rooms in the house. On the upper floors are
nine bedrooms and five bathrooms. The house is comfortably and con-
veniently furnished, and recently the alumni, under the direction of Broth-
ers Pope and Wood, have given the house several fine original paintings.
THE UNION CHAPTER HOUSE.
By Lewis Stewart Parsons, '07.
\X7HEN the Union Oiapter of Delta Upsilon secured a section of South
^ ^ College and fitted it up as a very cosy lodge, they little thought
that within three years they would be living in one of the finest houses
in Schenectady and even in the fraternity, but such is the case.
The house we have secured was erected in 1896. It was built for
264 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
*
a private residence by one of the leading business men in Schenectady and
occupied by him for a year. It was then sold to St. John's parish, to be
used as a convent school. This plan did not go through, and the house,
practically new, was finally leased for a term of years by the Union Chapter
last spring, and on June first we quietly took possession, much to the
surprise of our rivals on the hill.
The house is built of brick and brownstone, and is ideally equipped
for fraternity use. There are five rooms and a large reception haU on
the ground, finished in the natural wood, with inlaid floors, and
with the exception of the dining room, which is wainscoted, are all taste-
fully papered. There are handsome tiled fireplaces in the dining room,
reception room and parlor, and the ceilings in each room are attractively
frescoed.
The second floor contains six studv rooms, in three of which are
open fireplaces, and all have hot and cold water and large closets.
The attic contains sleeping quarters for twenty men and room for
the billiard table. There are baths on each floor. The cellar contains the
Iaundr>', furnace room, and two trunk rooms.
The plate glass windows are unusually large and are equipped with
Venetian blinds. A veranda fifteen feet wide, extending forty feet across
the front, and a conservatory, which has been converted into a smoking
room, complete a home which we hope to call our own inside of a year.
The original cost of the house was $25,000.
IMPROVEMENTS AT SYRACUSE.
T^HE Syracuse Chapter has added a large front porch to the chaptei
-*■ house, making it much more comfortable, and changing its appear-
ance considerably. At the same time the house was repainted, the third
floor was remodeled and plastered, a hardwood floor laid and a new dormi-
tory put in. The main hall has a new hardwood floor, and most of the
rooms were repapered and painted. The dormitory plan, for which the
third floor has been arranged, is proving a great success.
DELTA UPSILON IN CHICAGO-
THROUGH the assistance of Brother Robert Catherwood, North-
western, '96, we are able to make the Delta U.'s outside of Chicago
acquainted with some of our Chicago brothers.
We are all familiar with Judge Elijah B. Sherman, Middlebury, '60,
-master in chancery for the Federal courts, and one of the old settlers of
Chicago. He has been a prominent figure in Delta Upsilon as well as in
the Western metropolis.
Charles Gates Dawes, Marietta, '84, president of the Central Trust &
Savings Bank, president of one of the principal gas companies of Chicago,
and former U. S. Comptroller of the Currency, is another who is already
well known to the fraternity.
But there are others who are well known in Chicago in business, pro-
fessional or educational circles who should be better known to our readers.
William H. French, Cornell, '73, whose genial manner endeared him
to all who were at the Chicago convention, is now serving his third term
as president of the Chicago Delta Upsilon Club. Brother French was a
student in Leipsic University in 1872 and 1873. On his return he became
assistant general manager of the Associated Press in New York. He is
now secretary and director of the type foundry firm of Bamhart Brothers
& Spindler, 183 Monroe street, Chicago.
Professor Ira Wilder Allen, Hamilton, '50, has led a busy life. He
was a teacher in the public schools of New York State from 1843 ^^ 1848.
In 1850 he redved the degree of A. B. from Hamilton College, and for
two years was principal of Manlius Academy. Two years more were
spent as a student at Harvard University and the Universities of Gottingen
and Berlin. From 1854 to i860 he was a professor in Antioch College,
which gave him the degree of A. M. in 1853. After a year as superintendent
of schools, Sidney, Ohio, he became President of Union Christian College.
In 1863 he received the LL. B. degree from Albany Law School. For
five years he was principal and proprietor of Lafayette Collegiate Institute,
and for the next five years principal and proprietor of Lake Forest
Academy. In 1872 Union Christian College gave him the degree of LL. D.
From 1874 to 1892 he was principal and proprietor of Allen Academy,
Chicago. Since then he has been occupied in the management of his prop-
erty in and near Chicago, with frequent intervals of travel in Europe.
Professor Allen is the father of three Delta U.'s: Ira W. Allen, Jr.,
Williams^ 84, A. B. ; '87, A.M. ; B. D., McCormick Seminary, '94, and now
living at Pasadena, Cal. ; Hamilton Ford Allen, Williams, '88 A. B. ; Chi-
cago, 05, Ph. D., and now a professor in Princeton University ; and Phiiip
266 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
Schuyler Allen, Williams, '91, A B.; Chicago, '97, Ph. D., and now a
professor in the University of Chicago.
Ossian C. Simonds, Michigan, '73, is a prominent landscape gardener
of Chicago. Immediately after graduation, he entered the c^ce of W. L.
B. Jenney, architect, in Chicago, and three years later formed a partner-
ship with William Holabird, the firm being Hobibird & Simonds. From
this firm he afterwards withdrew in order to devote his time to landscape
gardening. His work, which includes private places, parks, cemeteries,
sub-divisions, etc., has been carried on in more than twenty-six states and
territories.
Frederick Whitton, Wisconsin, '89, is another Delta U. who was
prominent at the Chicago Convention. He is agency manager of the
New York Life Insurance Co. Brother Whitton was principal of the
Detroit School for Boys, 1890-98 ; of Michigan Military Academy, 1898-
99, and of Blees Military Academy, 1899-1902. He then became solicitor
for the New York Life Insurance Co., and the following year became
agency manager and director.
James Westfall Thompson, Rutgers, *g2, was a graduate student at
the University of Chicago for the two years following his graduation from
Rutgers. In 1895 Chicago gave him the degree of Ph. D. (magnum cum
laude), and made him associate in history. In 1897 ^^ became instructor
and since 1903 he has been assistant professor of European history.
Brother Thompson has written "The Development of the French Mon-
archy under Louis VI." and "The Decline of the Missi Domintci in
Frankish Gaul." He is a frequent contributor to various periodicals. At
the Chicago convention he was the convention poet.
Charles Lincoln Keller, Lehigh, '93, first assistant engineer in charge
of all the engineering forces of the Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridge Co. of
Chicago, is busy with a number of important bridges, notably the eight-
track railroad bridge over the Chicago drainage canal, a double-track rail-
road bridge over the Chicago river with a span of 275 feet between bear-
ings, and a number of important lift bridges in Russia, Ireland, South
America and other foreigpi countries. He is director and secretary of the
National Regulator Co., Chicago, and a member of the American So-
ciety of Civil Engineers and of the Western Society of Engineers, as well
as of various clubs. He is on the managing boards of several local asso-
ciations and settlements, and has lectured before a number of engineering
societies and university technical schools on the subject of modem bridge
construction.
George Ellsworth Hooker, Amherst, '83, secretary of the City Qub
and one of the prominent municipal ownership men of Chicago, is a Ver-
mont man by birth and education. Qass day orator, prize debater and

Phi Beta Kappa ; graduate of Columbia Law School and of Yale Divinity
school ; admitted to the bar and practicing law in New York, and serving
as a missionary and ordained to the ministry in Washington; traveling
abroad and working in Andover House, Boston ; in these varied ways he
was splendidly prepared for his present work in Hull house, Chicago, and
on the editorial staflF of the Chicago Tribune — again a contrast. He is
evidently a practical idealist.
Francis E. BroomcU, Swarthmore, '93, entered the employ of C. J-
Hambleton & Co., real estate, soon after graduation, as manager of their
branch office. He continued there until 1900, when, on the death of both
members of the firm, he became manager of the Hambleton Estate and
engaged in independent business of his own . In 1904 he entered into part-
nership with his brother, Chester C. Broomell, under firm name of
Broomell Brothers, real estate and loans. He is a member of the Chicago
Real Estate Board, and served as appraiser of real estate for the West
Park Board of Commissioners. Brother Broomell is much mterested in the
movement for more liberal religious thought, and is secretary of the Inde-
pendent Religious Society of Chicago.
Robert K. S. Catherwood, Northwestern, '96, who procured the
material for this article, failed to include either his picture or his "obit-
uary." The former we had and the latter is given by the Decennial. His
activity in chapter, club and general fraternity matters is strongly in evi-
dence. He was admitted to the bar in 1899, since when he has practiced
law, being at present a member of the firm of Parkinson & Catherwood^
and he was one of the prime movers of the 1904 convention, held at
Chicago, having been chairman of the committee.
Shelby M. Singleton, Northwestern, '91, as secretary and attorney
for tlie Citizens' Association of Chicago, is much in the public eye, and has
gained a national reputation for courage and efficiency in his work. He
was valedictorian of his class in the law school from which he was grad-
uated in 1892, being admitted to the bar the same year. He practiced law
until 1894, when he took charge of the Chicago Law Institute until 1896,
when he entered the newspaper field. He held editorial positions on the
Inter-Ocean, the Milwaukee Sentinel and the Record^Herald, until he took
up his present work in 1903. He was first vice-president of the Qiicaga
convention.
Rev. William Pierson Merrill, Rutgers, '87, is from the East, having
been born in Orange, N. J. First honor man at graduation, class day
poet, valedictorian. Phi Beta Kappa, and winner of many prizes, he has
proved a forceful, thoughtful preacher. For five years after graduation
from Union Theological Seminary in 1890, he was pastor of Trinity
Church, Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, and for the past few years has been
268 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
pastor of the Sixth Presbyterian Church of Chicago. He was chaplain of
the Chicago convention in 1904.
Edgar Grant Sisson, Northwestern, '98, wielded the pen as recording
secretary and corresponding secretary of his chapter and reported for the
Chicago Chronicle. On graduation he became dramatic editor of tlie
Chicago Tribune, of which paper he is now managing editor.
James M. Gilchrist, Cornell, *oo, is general manager of the Federal
Electric Co. He has been in business in Chicago since graduation. He
was for two years secretarj' of the Chicago Delta Upsilon Qub and a
member of the 1904 Convention Committee.
THE CONVENTION OF DISTRICT IL
The first annual District Convention of the Canadian and Central
New York chapters was held at the Lodge of the Cornell Chapter on May
4th and 5th, 1906. Ralph C. Rodgers, Cornell, '05, was president and
A. W. Rowley, Syracuse, '07, secretary. The Cornell Chapter proved
most hospitable and cordial hosts.
The delegates met at tht lodge on Friday, May 4, for dinner, which
was followed by a reception in the chapter hall. The convention was then
called to order for organization. The next day at the first session papers
were presented as follows : Colgate, "Definite Aims in Chapter Work ;'
Cornell, "Upperclass Supervision;" Hamilton, "Benefits of General Con-
vention; McGill, ''Vital Factors in Rushing;" Rochester, "Chapter Visita-
tion ;" Syracuse, "Relations Between Fraternities ;" Union, "Chapter Tra-
ditions."
A general discussion, which followed each paper proved a valuable
ieature.
At the close of the session the delegates were shown the University
buildings and grounds, followed by luncheon at the Lodge. In the after-
noon the Colimibia-Comell baseball game was attended, Cornell being
the victors. In the evening a typical chapter meeting was held by the
Cornell chapter, and was largely attended by local alumni. A banquet at
the Lodge brought the convention to a close.

The six members of this committee met again at the recent Jerome-Hughes

Brother Charles E. Hughes. It is evident from the following brief
records that interest and activity in undergraduate life generally result
in a continuation of interest and activity in the fraternity in after
years.
Signatures op thb Lapaybttb Instai«i^tion Cobcmittbs
Otto M. Eidlitz, Cornell, '8i, held the offices of chapter treasurer,
corresponding secretary, vice-president and delegate to the '80 and '81
conventions. He was president of the Delta Upsilon camping asso-
ciations, president of the Delta Upsilon Oub of New York and a member
of the executive council for four years. His college interest was continued
as treasurer of the Cornell Qub of New York and as one of the committee
of five for alumni hall. He was appointed by Governor Roosevelt to be
tenement house commissioner in 1900. A member of the building firm
of Marc Eidlitz & Son, of New York, he has been president of the Mason
Builders' Association and secretar>' of the United Building Trades of
New York.
Charles E. Hughes, Brown, '81, is well known for his recent work in
the insurance and gas investigations in New York City. He was class
prophet and class orator, editor of the Brunonian, took the Carpenter and
Dunn premiums and made Phi Beta Kappa. In the fraternity he was
delegate to the '80 convention, toastmaster at the '86 and '01 conventions
and president of the executive council '86-'87. He was prize fellow at the
Columbia Law School, professor of law at Cornell University and special
lecturer at Cornell and tfie New York Law School.
Marcus C. Allen, Colgate, '81, had the convention habit. He was a
delegate to the '81, '82, '83, '84 and '85 conventions, and has attended
others. He was recording secretary of his chapter and later trustee. In
270 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
college he played baseball. He has been vice-president of the Sandy Hill^
N. Y., board of education, and president of the sewer commission. He is
a member of Allen Bros. Co., manufacturers, Sandy Hill, N. Y.
Edward M. Bassett, Amherst, '84, was initiated by the Hamilton
chapter. Besides being class president and holding college records in tlie
hurdles and jumps at Hamilton he held a commencement appointment and
was class day orator and Phi Beta Kappa at Amherst. In his chapter
he was vice-president and delegate to the '82 and '83 conventions. He
was one of the editors of tlie first volume of the Quarterly, which was
published by the Amherst chapter, and associate editor of the '84 Quiw-
quennial. Graduating from the G>lumbia Law School he practiced law
in Buffalo and New York City, and was a member of Congress from
Brooklyn.
Frederick M. Crossett, New York, ^84, hardly needs to have his fra-
ternity activities recounted. Recording secretary, treasurer, chapter trus-
tee, delegate to 81, '82, '83 and '90 conventions, delegate from the New
York Club and from the executive coimcil to five or six more, he has
been in attendance upon twenty-five consecutive conventions, besides being
chairman of the semi-centennial ('84) convention committee and a mem-
ber of the '93 convention committee. Member of the executive council
'83-'88, secretary of the council and fraternity treasurer ; publisher of the
annual ; business manager and editor-in-chief of tlie Quarterly ; associate
editor of Our Record, and chapter editor of the '01 Decennial, these are a
few of his services. Locally, he has been treasurer and member of the
board of trustees and of the executive committee of the New York Qub
and always in active connection with his chapter. He was chairman of
the committee to establish the Lafayette, Columbia, Lehigh, Tufts,
DePauw and Pennsylvania chapters. In college he was class treasurer
and held various athletic offices, playing baseball and lacrosse. His
present business of publisher of several magazines seems to be subordinate
to his fraternity interests.
Robert J. Eidlitz, Cornell, '85, is permanent secretary of his class. He
was on the Junior ball committee and was elected editor of the Cornellian.
His chapter made him recording secretary, vice-president and president
He was associate editor of the '84 Quinquennial, editor of Honorary mem-

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF DELTA UPSILON*
By Rev. Edward P. Powell, Hamilton, '53.
THE movement which crystalized ultimately into what is now known
as the Delta Upsilon Fraternity, began at Williams College, in
1834. In 1838 there was organized a similar society at Hamilton. Among
Its members were Rev. Henry Kendall, Rev. Dr. Henry Nelson, and
several others who afterward reached a national reputation. I do not
know how long this society continued its existence, nor what was the
history of its work. In 1837 there was another anti-secret society formed
at Union ; and neither this one nor that at Williams went out of existence
until 1847. In this year there was a strong movement of the same char-
acter at Amherst, followed soon after by an organization in Hamilton.
All these movements were in the nature of a protest against secret
associations — ^which it was claimed had introduced the spirit of injustice
into college elections, and were breaking up natural associations into
clanship. The protest included opposition to secrecy, mainly because at
that time the country was in its fever heat of antagonism to Free Masonry
— a contest which had entered politics, and even the church. The main
point, however, was that the Greek letter societies were giving preference
to their own members in college elections, rather than to merit and scholar-
ship. Several of the most notable educators of the land openly expressed
their sympathy with the protesting movement of the students — among
the rest President Hopkins of Williams, President Nott of Union, and
President Hitchcock of Amherst
The indignation was keener because some of the colleges, Hamilton
included, had abolished college honors. In this college the only honors to
be secured were those granted by the two literary societies, the Union
and the Phoenix ; each of which annually elected a valedictorian. There
were then four secret societies, the Sigma Phi, Alpha Delta Phi, Qii Psi
and Psi Upsilon. Combinations of these societies were formed, generally
two against two, to secure these valedictorianships. The Neutrals num-
bered about one-third of the college, and generally voted as they pleased.
But if they could be corraled for a single candidate, the four secret
societies would sometimes combine against them.
The literary societies met in rooms over the chapel, entering by the
rear door, where the first floor was occupied by a laboratory ; the second
by a Philosophical Chamber; and the third was devoted to the Literary
Society Halls. The debates were of a high order, and the annual Anni-
versaries were the literary as well as the social events of the college.
The Union Library and Museum occupied the four middle rooms of
Middle College, fourth floor; while the Phoenix occupied in like manner
the fourth story middle rooms of North college. The contents of these
libraries and museums constitute now no mean part of the present pos-
272 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
sessions of the college. Each Greek letter society was accustomed to
divide its members between the two, in such a way as most decisively to
influence the annual elections.
In 1847 there was a remarkably scholarly lot of Neutrals, some
of them neutral by preference — perhaps nearly all of them. About a
dozen of these were mustered at the room of A. M. Stowe on Commence-
ment evening. This room was in the house of Mary Powell, now Dr.
Stryker's. When this property was sold to the college, a part of it,
containing this very room was wheeled about, and made to consti-
tute a part of the mansion. This first meeting was held without lights,
as it was surmised that the secret societies would cause disturbance. The
movement was not acceptable to them, because it would solidify oppo-
sition, and if such organization succeeded it would pretty surely rule the
elections. It must not be overlooked that the society started with a very
positive and aggressive spirit. It was intended to break up Greek letter
societies, and put an end to them in colleges. During the first ten years
the battle was sharply drawn on both sides, and a history of the skirmishes
would be extremely interesting, often amusing, and sometimes pathetic
It took more than ten years for us to discover that we had undertaken
what could not be accomplished.
The result of the first gathering, at Mr. Stowe's room, was that nine
agreed to form a Hamilton College anti-secret fraternity. The name
taken was the Social Fraternity. This name was changed, I think in
1850, for the title Equitable Fraternity — a name originally used at Wes-
leyan University. The names of the original organizers were C. L.
Adams, A. G. Gould, R. G. Keyes, M. Waldo, D. E. Blaine, J. Campbell,
Yates Hickey, E. Robbins, and A. M. Stowe. All these boasted that
they had been repeatedly invited to join secret societies. To their names
must be added the following, to make out the sixteen charter members :
S. Sheldon, H. E. Johnson, Guy K. Qeveland, Giles B. Qeveland, R. G.
Martin, H. G. Kingsbury, W. W. Warner. Among the earliest to be
added to this list were G. W. Newcomb, A. D. Williams, C. H. Meigs,
L. H. Potter, L. H. Jenkins and Seth E. Hills. The first president of the
Hamilton Chapter was Milton Waldo, who is still alive and here on the
platform beside me.
From the very outset there was a moral tone to the movement The
sixteen founders were men of stout character, and unflinching purpose-
iveness. The constitution which they framed emphasized that member-
ship was open only to those who practiced strict morality. No definition
of morality was given however, and probably none could be g^ven. It
was understood that no member could use intoxicating liquors, and there
was a very strong opposition to the use of tobacco. For many years
nearly every member refused to g^ve any countenance whatever to class
rows, and bolting — ^which was then a popular custom. It was understood
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF DELTA UPSILON 273
that the Social Fraternity intended to be an organization where parents
could place their boys, with a certainty that they would be safe from the
grosser temptations of college life. Nearly everyone of fair manhood
could become a member. The three points insisted upon were moral
cliaracter, intellectual eflfort, and social manliness. It was understood
that while we respected scholarship and appreciated wealth, our aim and
spirit was democratic and helpful.
A mere lad at the time, but preparing to enter college in 1850, as
a sophomore, I confess that the movement had a tremendous power over
my thinking and purposing. I look back today with a conviction that
the Delta Upsilon society, or Equitable Fraternity, did for me more than
all other influences combined, to establish moral courage in the critical
period of my life. It was to this sort of influence that the State of
New York is just now indebted for Prosecuting Attorney Jerome, of
New York, and Charles E. Hughes, who is doing equally good work in
the insurance investigation. It also begat David Starr Jordan, the ideal
college president ; and Garfield, the martyr for political rights.
The cost of membership was a bagatelle, as compared with the cost
of other societies. There was no initiation fee, nor other charges except
a slight term tax, and a few bills which were paid to cover the expenses
of those who were sick. We always cared for the poor boys who fell
into the hands of the doctors. We generally paid about ten dollars a
year for books, repairs and a few incidentals. A few paid a little more
than that, while the poorer boys were excused from nearly ever3rthing.
We almost at once took honorable rank and scholarship. Hamilton
led his class in 1850. He was a giant in every way, in body and in mind.
He became liberal in theology, before liberalism was popular, and died in
his pulpit in Oakland, Cal., in the prime of his life, and before the world
liad learned to appreciate him. Pratt led the class of 185 1 ; while in the
dass of 1853 and that of 1854 we secured the salutatorians. There were
very few prizes in those days, but we always secured our share — ^as we
have ever since. Our first member of the faculty was Blaine, who was
elected Tutor in 1852. His election provoked an outburst of abuse on
the part of the secret societies. Having been selected by the Faculty, he
should have been sustained by them. As they did not do this, we did.
After a sharp struggle, covering two terms, we came oflF triumphant.
During this episode our society resolved at one period to withdraw from
the college in a body, unless the Faculty would take certain action in the
defense of Tutor Blaine. They took it. Our first Professor was, I
think, Wilcox, who succeeded Upson in the rhetorical chair.
The first Convention was held in 1847, at the instigation of Williams,
warmly seconded by Hamilton; and a Confederation was there formed.
A second Convention, the first of the Confederation, was held in 1849,
at Albany, when the Constitution was drafted.
274 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
It is somewhat important that this question of early organization
shall be definitely settled. I find in the records of the Hamilton chapter
for October 27th, 1847, the following minute: "A letter from Williams
stated that delegates from other anti-secret societies would meet at Troy,
on the loth of November, for the purpose of getting up a union catalog,
and to transact such other business as concerned the cause, and wished
the Social Fraternity of Hamilton College to send a delegate. Where-
upon a motion was made and carried that this Fraternity send a delegate
to meet the others in Troy at the specified time." At a special meeting
of the Social Fraternity, October 29th, I find on record that "M. Waldo
was unanimously elected ; that he was instructed to use his best endeavors
to adopt a common name and badge."
In the records for April 3rd, 1848, is the following minute: "The
Fraternity voted unanimously that the Confederation meet on the third
day of May next, at the Delevan House, Albany. Voted that the Frater-
nity send two delegates to said Convention ; whereupon Waldo and
Converse were chosen." This seems to settle definitely the order in which
the first Conventions were held ; at which the Confederation was agreed
upon, the title chosen and the badge selected.
In 1850 a third convention was held at Williamstown, and in 185 1
a fourth at Union. In this way there gradually grew up a solidified
moral and social force that was destined to influence the whole collegiate
world.
Chapters were formed in rapid succession at Adelbert, Wesleyan,
Colby, Rochester, Bowdoin, Rutgers, Brown, Colgate, New York, Miami,
Cornell and Trinity. Syracuse, Michigan, Northwestern and Harvard
were added a little later. Hamilton was recognized from the outset as
a good leader. Its influence was felt throughout the Confederation, and
mainly because it stood for moral principles rather than social position.
At the outset it was very warmly attached to the chapter in Vermont
University, known as Delta Psi. Our fifth Convention, fourth of the
Confederation, was held with that chapter, and its members at that time
included a large nimiber who became famous — among the rest Governor
Buckham and Rev. Dr. Goodale. The name Delta Psi was adopted by
the Western Reserve, and it was proposed to adopt it at Hamilton. It
would probably have become the name of the whole fraternity, had not
this Vermont chapter unfortunately withdrawn from the Confederation
in 1854. After trying one or two more titles, it was finally agreed in
1864 to accept Delta Upsilon.
Our Hamilton Equitable Society held its meetings for the first two
years, most of the time, in the house of Mrs. Powell; and her house
was for a long time known as the "Frat Hotel." Here they not only held
their meetings, but had their board. The sympathy of their hostess
for the society was very deep; but I think that it was slightly strained
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF DELTA UPSILON 275
<Kxasionallyy when more than five or six visitors were brought in at the
same time, to lunch, and more than two horses had to be stabled at
^e same time — ^without charge to the visitors. However I remember
quite as distinctly, and find it recorded in the minutes of the society, that
literary exercises were occasionally abbreviated, in order to do justice
to loaves of cake, pumpkin pies, and huge bowls of fresh maple sugar,
which were found spread in the adjacent dining room by this patroness.
She was well compensated by appreciative resolutions. Most of these
Tcsolutions were worded by a dark-skinned youth, named Milton Waldo.
From this house the society moved to rooms granted them by the
Faculty, in South college. The whole upper story of this dormitory con-
stituted four lodge rooms. Our Fraternity was in possession of North
hall, fourth story middle, both front and rear. Across the Hall was the
lodge of the Alpha Delta Phi. Our assembly rooms were reached through
the rooms of janitors, who occupied the front — rent free, for their care of
the lodge. This assembly room we fitted with sofas, that were especially
constructed to join together, clear round the room. We had a library built
into the wall, and this was kept fairly well supplied with new books.
In those days, instead of over five thousand volumes per year, sent out
by the publishers, I doubt if there were five hundred — pamphlets and
all. We could keep up with the book tide at a very small cost.
I regret to say that the records covering all this period are wretchedly
meager. I do not find one word about our Anniversaries, which were
decidedly the featue of the Fraternity. During Commencement Week,
which occurred at that time late in July, the Fraternity Anniversary was
a recognized event of the town. Our Hall, and the anterooms, were
crowded with leading citizens, always including the families of two or
three members of the Faculty. During most of this period we ntunbered
about thirty members, and at one time reached nearly or quite forty.
That the society had an exactly even tenor is not true. A few proved
to be traitors to its principles; and one or two desired dismissal, and
secured it. We had the sympathy of several of those who were inside
rival societies, among the rest that of Edward Orton, afterward the
eminent geologist, who wrote us a letter frankly wishing us success, and
avowing his endorsement of our principles.
The next move was to a room in the Osborne block, in the village,
just east of the canal. This occurred while I was living in St. Louis and
Chicago, so that I never attended but one meeting in that place. The
change was necessitated by the fact that the college Jrustees found it
necessary to refit South college, and use the whole of it as a dormitory.
At the single meeting which I attended, I had the pleasure of suggesting
Ae purchase of property and the building of a Lodge. This proposition
was ably seconded by Prof. Burdick, your present presiding ofiicer.
Lawyer Williams was employed to purchase, if possible, the Stone prop-
276 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
erty, at the foot of the hill. Failing in this, the project lingered on until
the purchase of the present property, and the building of the existing
Lodge, into which the Society entered in April, 1888. My visits to
Qinton were rare at this time, and I knew very little of the minutiae of
this eflFort. I only know that it cost a deal of labor on the part of a
few brave enthusiasts. The construction of lodges led to a g^eat social
readjustment in this college as elsewhere. The system is still on trial,
and has its strong opponents as well as its friends.
In 1881 it was decided that the Fraternity should no longer be termed
"anti-secret," but should be held to be "non-secret." This position had
been advocated by some of the chapters, for several years. The feud
spirit died out gracefully and naturally. The antagonism gradually
slipped into a friendly, co-operation for good purposes, and for tlie
welfare of the college, a spirit which is steadily improving year by year.
Yet I suspect that quite a number of us old fellows still look back to those
days of battle with a chuckle, and with a conviction that your modem
era of fraternal good will does not furnish so good a stimulus to strong
character and steady moral purposing. The larger part of existing
chapters have never known anything about the old era, and its struggles,
from their own experience. During the first ten years the battle was
\ery keen and sharp. A strong friendship growing up between my
classmate, Breese Stevens, a Sigma Phi, and myself, we were both hauled
up and disciplined by our societies, on the score that we possibly antici-
pated treason. There was very little friendship across tiie lines. We,
the Frats, were decidedly too severe ; and our opponents were vindictive.
The college catalogs were published, leaving out our Fraternity. We
were compelled to publish separate editions for our private use. In
those days the societies appeared as such in the reg^ar college catalog.
The Delta Upsilon diange of frontage was a growth rather than
a decision. It took place in connection with a very general revolution.
Hamilton college accepted the inevitable, and, in place of exactly three
recitations per day, of required studies, began to admit a modified elec-
tive system. The studious atmosphere of older days changed for a
sort of university bustle. Probably more work is done; probably ten
times as much work is wasted. Cargoes of facts are unloaded into the
modem student, which I am sure we should not have been able to digest
and assimilate — it will be generous to suppose that he does. For us to
come back here and expect to find exactly the same Delta Upsilon that
we were acquainted with fifty years ago would be absurd. We do,
however, expect that the society will never lose its democratic spirit Oi>
aristocratic lines of exclusion we are very liable to bar out boys who will,
by and by, become the glory of the College. It is always easier for thirty
members to co-operate than for ten. One thing of which we were espe-
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF DELTA UPSILON 277
cially proud in those days was that our expenses were so restricted that
our fathers and mothers at home were not eating mush and milk while
'we lived on roast beef. This problem of college expenses is one that we
Delta U's must have a hand and a heart in solving. It is our hope and
otir confident belief that the young men who inherit Delta Upsilon will
understand that they inherit its obligations to honor, pure manhood,
thorough scholarship, and self denial. Look well to your traditions, be
faithful to your ideals. If you are, Delta Upsilon will remain as one
of the noblest evolutions of the nineteenth century. Remember that the
Fraternity does not consist of a few men who happen to be undergradu-
ates ; but of that great body of alumni who are carrying out Delta Upsilon
principles, in the social and political affairs of the country. Keep your-
selves in tally with them. One of the most important duties of your
Conventions is to make sure that each chapter has an annual reunion of
its alumni not in Commencement week, but at such a period as will be
undisturbed by other exercises.
In 1897 we held our fiftieth Anniversary as a semi-centennial. At
that time we had in the Faculty Melvin G. Dodge, Assistant Professor
of Chemistry, and acting Librarian of the College; Wm. H. Squires,
Professor of Psychology and Logic; Wm. P. Shepard, Professor of
Romance Language and Literature — men of whom the Fraternity is justly
proud. Of the charter members we had present Waldo, Hickey, H. E.
Johnson, Keyes — the last three now deceased. We found other members
of the Fraternity to be honored members of the Faculties of other colleges
and universities ; men of note in the business world, the literar> world,
and the political world. When your Centennial is reached in 1947, £ome
more of us will be gone ; but if the spirit of gentle manhood, true char-
acter and right scholarship control the Fraternity, Delta Upsilons on earth
and Delta Upsilons in Heaven will constitute a loving and fraternal band
of the sons of God.

npHE seventy-second convention of Delta Upsilon will be held with
the Middlebury Chapter October 25th and 26th, at which time the
chapter w^ill celebrate its semi-centennial. The Green Mountain bo)rs
are planning a good time for the double event, and doubtless a large
number of Middlebury alumni will attend. With the chapters of New
England, Canada, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania all but a
short journey, comparatively, from Middlebury, many undergraduates
besides the delegates should take advantage of this opportunity to attend
a convention.
T^HE district convention idea has been proved a success for Delta
Upsilon. Peports from the gatherings held in Cambridge, Ithaca and
Chicago indicate that they are destined to become very valuable factors
in inculcating the fraternity spirit. Only a combination of unusual circum-
stances prevented a convention in District III., where it will be welcomed
the coming year. The Executive Council may find it desirable to submit
to the coming general convention some reg^ations regarding district
conventions. But these rules should be few and wide of scope, for the
district conventions should be practically autonomous, each deciding for
itself what programme it shall pursue and what themes it shall discuss.
One subject alone should be put under the ban by general consent if not
by actual fraternity enactment. That is the matter of extension. Any
attempt to discuss the fraternity's policy in a district convention or to
declare in favor of this or that petitioning body should be frowned upon.
We have never had sectionalism brought into consideration of charter
petitions, and we cannot afford to have it introduced now. As a matter
of fact, the district conventions have more vital topics to interest them.
The wide field of right management of chapters is before them. In cultivat-
ing this they will make themselves of most value to the fraternity.
T T would seem from the experience of recent conventions that the com-
mittee scheme needs revision. The list of committees usually adopted
by conventions is one that has been in use several years. At least one com-
mittee of the half-dozen or more has almost nothing to do, as a rule,
while another has all the very important work. For the sake of dividing
up the labor and having as many undergraduates as possible participate
in the convention's real duties we need an entirely new list of committees.
EDITORIAL 279
Moreover, it is a question whether it is wise to wait for convention to
assemble to select the committee members. There would seem to be no
good reason why, after an up-to-date set of standing conmiittees has been
made up, the acting president of the fraternity should not by lot assign
chapters to committees and notify them in advance of convention. The
delegates will gather, knowing exactly what duties are assigned them.
It is probable that under this plan we should have a more general partici-
pation by the undergraduates in the active convention work, and this is
highly desirable.
•TpHE long-desired fraternity song-book is on the press, and we have
no hesitation in saying that the fraternity is going to be mightily
pleased with the result of Brother Miller's labors. This is a very mild
phrase for expressing what we think of the book, but it may do for an
advance notice. He has tapped springs of verse and music that the
fraternity has always had but never found before. We hope the Executive
Council will never let them run dry. Why should not the fraternity have
every five years or so a round-up of new songs and verses, to be made a
supplement to the old favorites.
«
^^NE of the suggestions of the "Internal Improvement Committee"
which reported to the Chicago Convention was for the formation
of a "Pan-Hellenic Library." The plan having been authorized, the
Librarian, William Oakley Raymond, 181 Qaremont Avenue, New York
City, was directed to send a communication to a number of fraternities
explaining the proposed collection of fraternity material.
Official approval and agreement to co-operate having been received
from most of the fraternities addressed, an open letter will now be sent
out over the signatures of the librarians of these fraternities asking tliat
all fraternities unite in forming a pan-Hellenic library.
Briefly the plan is to preserve in the reference department of one
public library a complete file of the fraternity magazine of each fraternity,
together with a catalogue and such other fraternity material as may be
decided upon. The New York Public Library, of which Dr. Billings is
Librarian, will supply shelf room and will bind and catalogue the material
so that there shall be no expense to the fraternities other than to furnish
the material. It will be subject to reference only and cannot be removed
from the library.
28o THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
It is doubtful if any fraternity has (or needs) a complete file of
every fraternity magazine, and yet such a file would be a valuable collec-
tion for reference. It is hoped that every fraternity will authorize its
librarian to aid in the development of this pan-Hellenic library.
A suggestion for some enthusiastic Delta U. comes from Brother
H. W. Hulbert, Middlebury, '79, of Bangor, Maine. He writes : "I wish
someone who has the time would take the last edition of "Who's Who
in America" and find out how many Delta U*s have a place there." Two
undergraduates, working together, with a copy of "Who's Who" and
the Decennial index, would find this an interesting and profitable study,
and the Quarterly would be glad to publish the results of their research.
We wish to emphasize to the chapters that there is only one design
for the fraternity pin. We have learned that some jewellers are making
pins that differ from the ofiicially adopted design in the shape of the
letters forming the monogram. The chapters will do well to patronize
only the jewellers whose advertisements appear in the Quarterly, in
order to be certain of the correct design. There are enough to insure
competitive prices.
Two of our Rhodes scholars, Ralph H. Bevan, Brown, '04, and
William C. Crittenden, California, 05, have achieved the distinction of
securing their degree in two years instead of three years allotted for
scholarship.
Vermont has elected a Delta U. to the governor's chair. Brother
Fletcher D. Proctor, Amherst, '82, son of U. S. Senator Redfield Proctor,
one of our few honorary members. New York wants either Charles E.
Hughes or District Attorney Jerome for governor.
Some of the alumni correspondents of the chapters are doing yeo-
man's service in supplying news, jogging the memory of the chapter
editor and securing alumni subscriptions — ^and some are not.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the assassination of President Jame.^
A. Garfield, Williams, '54, occurred September 19th, which was marked
by commemorative exercises in various parts of the country. The memory
of a loyal brother is honored by Delta U's everjrwhere.

A PcaooallT Conductod Tour by ITflUamO. Mflkr, Peonsyl^aiiU, *Oif Editor.
The Song Wagon's done; a spoke in the wheel from every Delta U.
college ; slicked up ; greased ; given a final coat of paint ; and ready for its
first jaunt among the chapters. The Wagon recently had a trial spin with
the venerable Executive Q)uncil on board, and when they finally lit on
prosaic ground again they were totally winded — played out in "whoopin'
er up for Delta U."
Taking the songs as they come, from Brother Sheldon's stately "Ode,"
which, by common consent, has been decreed first place, right through to
the baby chapter's own college song, that modestly takes the rear seat,
every song in the book is packed with the best brand of fraternal and
collie sentiment.
Bre'r Joel B. Slocum, Colby, '93, now a perennial Baptist preacher
out in Ohio, shakes his clerical tog^ long enough to hum over "Dixie" and
build a corking song, beginning
"In Fresiunen days I beheld a maiden,
And my heart got heavy laden,
Look away ! Look away ! Look away ! Delta U !
To Delta U. I made surrender ;
She's my love and I'll defend her —
Look away ! Look away ! Look away ! Delta U !"
And he's written several others just as good. By the way, Brother
Slocum is the perpetrator of that unearthly "he dikaia" yell. He has gen-
erously provided a free translation of the yell to go with every song book.
Turning over a page, we find Phil B. Goetz, Harvard, '93, who, you
remember, is slated to do the convention poet stunt this year. His "Hymn'
has all the stateliness of rhythm for which his verse is justly getting
famous.
Certainly, we couldn't get far afield before we'd run across one of
Henry D. Gray's fragrant fraternal posies. Henry D. came out of Colgate
in '97 and nowadays is sowing the seeds of literary wisdom among Delta
U's at Stanford. His songs have a tone of lofty exultation about them
that make you glad you're a Delta U. I'll bet my Sunday hat Gray's
a man in whose life Delta U. ideals have been a real factor, his lines bristle
so with all that tp fraternally best.
Right here let me tell you to get acquainted with Edmund Hardy, ol
Toronto, '03. He carries a "Mus. Bac." about with him, but that needn't
deter you. With him it means "Bom a Musician." The inspiring melody
that he has set to the ringing words of his fellow-Torontonian, McNaim,
282 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
'99, "Stand To-night at the Forge," make you want to roll up your
sleeves and shout, •'God Save Ireland !" or any other of the United States^
Brother Hardy has joined hands across the sea with Ellis J. Thomas^
Williams, '88, but more recently London, England, and between them the
"Rushing Song" and "Halls of Delta U." have been evolved into rattling^
songs that you won't get over singing. This Delta U. song-microbe will
start an epidemic in about a month.
With his other hand, Brother Thomas has written "Where YouTl
Find a Delta U.," that is filled full, pressed down, shaken together, and
then running over with fraternal whoop hurrah ! Brother Lewis M. Isaacs,.
New York, '97, broke away from his law books long enough to immortal-
ize these words in melody. When the song was first played over for
the Executive Council, every blessed member, even to President Hall and
Brother Fairbanks, hit up the chorus like a lot of Princeton Freshmen.
(And when the Council is able to articulate a song, you know the composer
has delivered the goods.)
Archer B. Hulbert, Marietta, '95, writes a toast, "Beneath the Gold
and Blue," dedicated to a pair of engaging blue eyes and locks of similarly
engaging golden hair, possessed (so we are informed by reliable third
parties) by a Kappa Kappa Gamma. Laudable! Anyway, Hulbert links
his love for Delta U. and his — er — admiration for Kappa Kappa most
happily. "By" Reed, '06, Union's John Philip Sousa, has done the rest
If Reed is the kind shaken by the wind, it has not been an ill-blow for
Delta U. His "March," which is in the song book, fills the long-felt want
on chapter dance programs. His namesake. Perry Reed, DePauw, '07,.
stands beside him, luring fair waltzers onto the floor with his seductive
passages. These two dance pieces will be immensely popular.
Middlebury, the center of the stage this fall, also has a flock of song-
birds. We landed Stone, '99, for two— "You see we couldn't help it, for
he's a son of old Delta U.,'* as he says. C. Day Noble, who looks back to
'64 as his realizing year at Middlebury, is represented by "Vive La Delta
U.," a stayer for all time.
It's a long leap from '64 to '02, and a longer one from Middlebury to
Stanford, but it's worth it. Have you ever heard the songster of the
Western slope? We've got him, and you'll find him intrenched at the
sign of "There's a Freshman." Fletcher B. Wagner has written many a
song for the Pacific Coast boys, and it will be hard to beat his clever words
to "Goodbye, Dolly Gray."
For originality and quaintness, John Stevens Briggs, who lx>asts
Rochester, '90, will be in the running with anyone. Ever come across his
"Mythology Made to Order"? It's 3-ply clever. Here are the first two
stanzas (and they get better as you go aJong) :
SEEING DELTA U FROM THE SONG WAGON 283
"Back in the mythologic days, at Jove's supreme command.
The gods convened in solemn state, a bright and glorious band.
The letters of the ancient Greeks were studied o'er with dest,
And 'Delta* fair and 'Upsilon' were counted in as best.
To find the noblest sentiment the Grecian language knew,
All the celestial lexicons were hunted thro* and thro'.
It soon was found, and Jove announced, as soon as all was still,
That 'Dikaia Upotheke' was the one that filled the bill.'
When you sing Brother Isaacs' music for it, you almost hear
the rattling of the "deus ex machina" up near the temple roof. And Brother
Briggs has written five others just as good. Everyone ought to know his^
*' 'Neath Our Old Fraternal Banner" by heart.
M. Casewell Heine, McGill, '98, establishes international brotherhood!
in his "Men of Delta U.," set to "America," or "God Save the King."
It seems a long time ago that Arthur C. Perry, New York, '92, wrote
his bunch of clever paradies, but one of these, unearthed by the midiiight-^
oil-consuming editor of the Quarterly, has been resus<iitated, and prom-
ises to be a lively youngster for the rest of its days. Mr. Sydney Thom-
son, one of the host of sympathetic friends whom Delta U. is proud to
claim, has dressed this "Rush, Rush, That's the Cue," in a musical garb*
of most exquisite and appealing fashion.
Rutgers shows up strong m Kilmer's gruesome-sounding "Down
Among the Dead men," which prophesies a just fate for anyone remiss in
granting Delta U. the bald-headed row in the theater of his affections.
A song for Alumni comes from Haring, '81.
Well, well, here we aren't a quarter through the book, and Brother
Goldsmith is ringing the bell on us for the last lap. And the wagon's
good for many a clip more !
If we can't see all, this time, we can at least get a glimpse of
what's left. There are the songs of Walter W. Drew, Michigan, '96,
whose coals of inspiration were snatched from a red-hot altar. There's
that quartette of Colgate minnesingers, who travel with Gray,
Brownell, Fulton, Grove and Fosdick. Colgate crosses the wire first for
ilvmibers, having ten songs to her credit.
In all there are 26 chapters represented in the table of contents, while
Technology has reason to be proud of the cover-design of Vonnegut, '06.
The portion of the book given up to the one leading song of the Delta U.
colleges is exceeding our fondest hopes. The college seal reproduced at
the head of each song illuminates the song in a most attractive way, and
has an independent interest. The drawn title-page, as well as several
284 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
other art features, is full of interest and artistic merit. The fac-siraile
reproduction of the title-page of the first Delta U. song book, published
just 40 years ago, links the present with the generations gone before.
And the half has not yet been told !
Standing at a distance and looking at the Song Wagon, the first
impression one gains is of its strength and the uniformity of its lines. The
workmanship shows that Delta U. craftsmen of to-day, whether appren-
tices or graduated into the class of journeymen, have not diminished in
skill, nor have their tools lost in edge or brightness. The standard, or
ideal, of workmanship has not been departed from.
It has been of absorbing interest to the editor to watch whether pres-
ent-day writers would be inspired by the old cry, or whether "Dikaia Upo-
theke" was a crumbled foundation, revered because a venerable ruin. There
has been no defalcation. Truth, Justice and Honor still abide as the
trinity on the throne. The fresh songs not only celebrate an honorable
past, but invariably sound an exhilarating challenge to carry the battle into
the future.
Songs of fellowship are not wanting; there are rollicking banquet
songs, keeping time to the tinkling of glasses freshly drained; marching
songs making rhythmic the tramp of noisy feet ; songs for the great con-
vention assemblages ; songs for a quiet Sabbath hour or to soothe a break-
ing heart in the presence of death.
There is a song responsive to every emotion in the wide gamut of
human experience. And when the book is closed it will be possible to
say that within its boards some of the noblest and broadest expressions
of fraternal sentiment have been voiced by earnest and loyal Delta U'.
The Delta U Song Book will be in circulation before the annual convention.
It can be ordered from W. O. Miller, University of Pennsylvania* Philadelphia,
or from Edson S. Harris, Secretary of the Executive Council. The cost will be
Jl.50 postpaid.
APPRECIATION THE BEST ENCOURAG]
'^TIT'ITHOUT the encouragement of appreciation the editor of a fra-
^^ temity magazine would soon lose heart. But the efforts of the
editor have not lacked appreciation. It is hardly correct, however, to
say "editor" as the Executive Council constitutes the editorial board
and their deputy is only a "near-editor," with the term "managing" pre-
fixed to the more august title. This means that he manages the editorial
board. After his graduation from the school of fraternity journalism he
expects to receive the degree of "M. E.".
The alumni occasionally take the trouble to express an opinion of
the Quarterly when paying their subscriptions, and some of these com-
ments are now published for the encouragement of others as well as the
editors and the M. E. (That stands for Money Extractor.)
"I am exceedingly proud of the magazine, especially in its splendid
new cover. I am glad to see that you are progressing." — ^Robert Valen-
tine Mathews, Columbia, '95.
"I had no idea that our fraternity had so thoroughly good a maga-
zine as this ; I tender my check for a year's subscription and my appre-
ciation of your own good work on this line." — J. W. Van Doom, Adel-
bert, '89.
"It is a fine Quarterly. You are doing a splendid work." — ^James
Quayle Dealey, Brown, '90.
"Allow me to congratulate you upon the fine Quarterly you are
getting out." — Wm. H. Turner, Michigan, '84.
"The Convention Quarterly has just arrived and I wish to com-
pliment you on its appearance. The cover especially is very handsome."
— Herbert G. Rich, Cornell, '94.
"The magazine is fine— except the cover — do not fancy the green.
The fraternity colors were better." — Stacey R. Warburton, Brown, '98.
"I like its appearance both inside and out very much, and I congratu-
late you upon the issue of such a good looking number. I think the
cover design is a very great improvement over the former one." — James
M. Gilchrist, Cornell, '00.
"My compliments on your last issue ; it is most interesting throughout
and has raised the high standard of our editor another peg. The next
tmie you change the color of the cover why not make it blue, and retaining
the present gold lettering form the fraternity colors." — W. C. Klotz,
Toronto, '02.
"The new g^en cover is a peach. You can't beat it. Don't attempt
it by changing to blue. You'll spoil it. That's all." — John P. Broomell,
Swarthmore, '99.
286 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
"The new cover is so far ahead of the old as to defy comparison.
The whole thing is just about as good as the cover. Don't remember so
much life and snap in any previous issue." — Earle C. Anderson, North-
western, '04.
"The green cover is abominable. The old cover was far superior to
it. The contents are usually good. Why not keep up the 'Greek Gossip'
in better shape. A little less daily paper rot would be an improvement."
— Mel. T. Cook, DePauw, '94.
"The Quarterly is O. K., newsy and no long articles. Plenty of
Delta U. enthusiasm." — Mel T. Cook, DePauw, '94.
"It is a great pleasure to get the Quarterly. It keeps one in touch
with college and fraternity events that we would never hear of otherwise."
— Geo. R. Pirie, Toronto, '01.
"The Quarterly is all right as a record, but it is absolutely value-
less as news. The first reform in making it effective must be to change
it to a monthly. This would require an enormous amount of work on
the part of the editor and his associates, but it is one of the things we
will simply have to do. I believe it not only can be done but that if
it is done we will immediately find more interest in the magazine, and that
it can be put on a paying basis. In spite of the large amount of work
now put on the Quarterly it has absolutely no value as a medium by
which the members of the fraternity can be posted as to what the frater-
nity is doing. Of course I realize the difficulties in starting a monthly,
but some of us must sec that they are overcome. I personally will be
glad to offer my service toward helping to accomplish this." — Wm. J.
>Jorton, Cornell, '02.
"The Quarterly reads too much like the ^War Cry.' Green is all
right to freshen up grass, an Irishman's heart and things like that, but
I do not think that the analogy can be stretched to magazine covers." —
Ralph E. Hemstreet, Cornell, '00.
"I have been intending for a long time to write you concerning the
satisfaction you have been giving to us alumni in the Quarterly. It is
certainly wonderfully improved. I look forward to receiving it with
interest and wish to congratulate the fraternity and thank you for your
part in giving us such a readable journal." — Wm. Seaman Bainbridge^
M. D., Columbia, '93.
"Allow me to compliment you on its well sustained excellence and the
enterprise with which you look after its interests." — Richard E. Day,
Syracuse, 'tj,
"I like the Quarterly, every number of which is worth the dollar."
— A. C. Heath, Colgate, '79.
APPRECIATION THE BEST ENCOURAGEMENT 287
"A continued change for the better has made our magazine a neces-
sity instead of a luxury." — Albert Pfaus, New York, '93.
"It g^ves me pleasure to commend the improved appearance of the
Quarterly, but the improvement of the inside is the best part of it." —
J. C. Litzenberg, Minnesota, '94.
"December number is most excellent. It has grown beyond the
dimensions of a trade catalogue and is worthy of a place with real maga-
zines. I have not yet read all the good things in it." — Albert Warren
Ferris, M. D., New York, '78.
"Here's my dollar for subscription beginning December, 1905. It's
a fine number." — Ralph W. Brokaw, Rutgers, '74.
"You are certainly to be complimented upon the character of the
Quarterly and all Delta U's to be congratulated upon possessing so
excellent a journal." — Edw. B. Angell, Rochester, 'jy,
"I have enjoyed reading it through. No. i, 1905, presents a
handsome appearance and is extremely interesting." — Prof. Ira W. Allen,
I,L. D., Hamilton, '50.
"Permit me to express my appreciation. Certainly you have put
these last numbers out in especially attractive form." — Dean C. Mathews,
Adelbert, '00.
"The Quarterly seems to me better than ever and you are to be
congratulated. I realize that my point of view is different from that of
the undergraduates and I wonder sometimes if in making it so good for
us alumni, it is also getting better for the undergraduates." — Chas. E.
Pattison, Rutgers, '84.
"We enclose check to your order for pa)rment of subscriptions. You
know what our opinion of the Quarterly is." — Patterson & Shaw, Col-
umbia, '92 and '94.
"The December Quarterly just received. It is a fine number and
interesting and readable as a novel." — Melvin G. Dodge, Hamilton, '90.
"Am much pleased with the appearance of the Quarterly, and its
contents and prompt delivery show good management." — A. D. Phillips,
New York, '90.
"I have been 'looking and longing* for the October number of the
Quarterly, but in vain. Won't you please look up your mailing list and
see that my name is put in red ink, I would rather miss any other
magazine I take than the Quarterly. Please send me October number
post haste." — F. M, Scheibley, Lafayette, '98.
"I think that you have made a great success of the magazine, and
that it is certainly a vast improvement over what it used to be." — Henry
H. Dawson, New York, '81.
288 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
"I have enjoyed the Quarterly greatly and congratulate you on
Its tone and contents." — Ellis J. Thomas, Williams, '88.
"The Quarterly is mighty good value for the money and I find
myself looking forward to the next number as soon as I have finished
the last one." — F. L. Lavertu, Bowdoin, '99.
"The special interest is due much to the special men you tell about —
Jerome, Ridgway, Hughes." — R. H. Sweetser, Technology, '92.
"The Quarterly is O. K. I have no adverse criticism to make." —
Melville E. Mead, Wesleyan, '52.
"I have been highly pleased with the Quarterly." — John G. Q>nner,
Lafayette, '87.
"The first number of this voltmie is fine. I compliment you." — Carl
W. Scovel, Hamilton, '88.
"The magazine is fine." — Charles Wayland Lisk, Brown, '90.
"The Quarterly is surely worth the price enclosed." — Lee Stow
Devol, Marietta, '92.
"I congratulate you on the Quarterly. It is well edited and is a
credit to the fraternity." — John W. Battin, Cornell, '90.
"I wish to congratulate you on the constant improvement of the
Quarterly." — Owen Moon, Jr., Swarthmore, '94.
"The Quarterly is getting better with every issue and I only wish
it came oftener." — S. D. Clinton, Nebraska, '02.
"The Quarterly is at high-water mark both inside and out." — W. H.
Hillman, New York, '81.
"I wish to express my appreciation of the Ane Quarterly that you
are getting out. Its large volume of news, broad-gauge treatment of
fraternity questions and handsome appearance make it a welcome guest
in our household. By making it what it is you have made every D. U.
your debtor." — Shelby M. Singleton, Northwestern, ^91.

THE ALUMNI CLUBS.
MILWAUKEE.
HE Milwaukee Delta Upsilon Club held its annual banquet April 14,
1906, with the following attendance:
i?u/^^rj— Cornelius I. Haring, '81. Middlebury — Richard O. Wooster,
'95. Wisconsin — Warren D. Tarrant, '90; T. A. Boerner, '89; Willard
G. Bleyer, '96; R. J. Willets, '98; G. S. Cassels, '80; W. R. Kremer, '01 ;
P. M. Binzel, '02 ; W. B. Currie, '03 ; P. H. Kremer, '06 ; P. J. Watrous,
06 ; T. E. Schnitzler, '08 ; G. G. Blatz, '08 ; H. H. Karrow, '08.
The banquet was enlivened by many of the old songs. Brother
Haring, as usual, acting as chorister and general, all-around interlocutor,
and was followed by a social-business session.
The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:
President, Arthur C. Kletzsch, Columbia, '93 ; Vice-President, Richard
O. Wooster, Middlebury, '95; Secretary and Treasurer, W. B. Currie,
Wisconsin^ '03. In order that the meetings of the club might be put on
a more definite basis and at the same time take place at a time when the
greatest possible attendance of brothers at the University might be
expected, it was resolved that two regular meetings be held each year, to
be known as the annual and the semi-annual respectively, the former to
take place on the evening of the Thursday immediately preceding Easter,
the latter on the evening of the Friday before the opening of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin.
Brother Wooster spoke of the coming convention at Middlebury,
Vt., expatiating upon the natural beauties of the place and surrounding
country. It was promptly resolved that if possible the club be officially
represented at that convention. To that end Brothers E. H. Bottum, '71,
and R. O. Wooster, 95, both from Middlebury, were appointed the dele-
gates of the club. Two "secundi" were authorized in case either or both
of these should be unable to attend. As we have another meeting before
the date for the convention the two who will actually attend will be
definitely known later.
Brother P. M. Binzel, the retiring Secretary and Treasurer, was on
the eve of departure for the far West. A resolution was passed expres-
sive of the club's deep appreciation of his ardent interest in and untiring
and unselfish efforts on behalf of the club, and of its deep regret at his
leaving. Brother Binzel has since left for Goldfield, Nevada, meeting
there Brother Lloyd W. Pullen, Wisconsin, '03, who left here several
weeks earlier. Brother Haring had in a brilliant quarter of an hour
reeled off at his stenographer a new Delta U. hymn, which, luckily, she
had been able to catch and assemble, and sundry copies being by him
290 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
passed around, we were instructed that it was built to go to "America,**
and we sang it to the edification, no doubt, of the inhabitants of the
hotel, and certainly to the delight and approbation of ourselves.

DELTA UPSILON ALUMNI SONG.
C. I. Haring, Rutgers, *8i.
Hail Delta Upsilon,
Each faithful, loyal son.
Now sings thy praise;
We praise thy lofty name,
\Vc glorify thy name,
We yield with souls aflame,
Our future days.
"Dikaia" leads our way,
"Dikaia" holds her sway,
"U-po-the-ka."
Thy sceptre guards thy might.
Controls our every fig^t.
Upholds us in the right.
None can betray.
In early college years
Thy bosom soothed our fears.
Thy honor bound ;
Then by thy fost'ring care.
We learned to do and dare,
Courage and strength to spare
At last we found.
You taught us manly arts;
You helped us act our parts ;
You were our guide ;
Your virtues claim our voice,
We, in thy past rejoice.
The present crowns our choice,
And will abide.
Hail Delta Upsilon,
With all our armor on
We bow to thee.
We feel thy strength within,
To conquer wrong, and win
Our laurels over sin.
Hail, hail to Thee.
THE ALUMNI CLUBS 291
THE PENNSYLVANIA BANQUET.
By William O. Miller, Pennsylvania, '04.
'T^HE i8th annual banquet of the Pennsylvania Chapter this year
-*■ was an occasion that will long live in the memory of those fortunate
enough to attend. Heretofore the banquets have been enjoyable affairs
to the thirty-odd men who attended, and it was expected that this year's
dinner, which was set for the anniversary of the founding of the chapter,
would take its place with the rest. In this, however, we reckoned without
our chairman, Abrams, '07, who, as a hustler has been a wonder.
The banquet was held at the University Qub, and a half hour before
the time appointed the faithful began dropping in. When the two ante-
rooms became overcrowded and men gathered in groups in the hallways
and more kept arriving hourly, the venerablcs who have been in the habit
of talking about hey-dey of their undergraduate years, sat up and took
notice. Here were g^ay hairs, men garbed in clerical dress, a professor
from Princeton, grads from Rutgers, Tech. Swarthmore, New York,
Brown, Lehigh, Rochester, Northwestern, many of them faces which
had never been seen at a Pennsylvania function.
To cap it all, a half-dozen "early silvering heads" bobbed up and
were announced as the charter members of Pennsylvania. Other old
alumni, who had long ago seemingly been given passage to that bourne
whence men seldom break away, also stole back for a night to live over
the days of yore.
Fully eighty men turned up and a superficial inquiry quickly showed
that they mostly came because one man had insistently called on them,
tirging them to attend, and that man was Abrams, '07.
The banquet was a great success, the best Delta U. fellowship pre-
vailed till the small hours, and the enthusiasm of the evening was an
inspiration to the men of the active chapter. The most lasting effort
of the whole celebration, however, is the realization that has come to the
rest of us, of what one man can do for Delta U. who puts his heart into
his work. As consistent and dogged a purpose on the part of twenty
Pennsylvania Delta U's would build a house there within a year.
An enjoyable feature of the evening was the interchange of tele-
grams with the New York banquet at which Brothers Jerome and Hughes
were being jollied, and the exhibition of the original petition for the
Pennsylvania Chapter which one of our chapter men thoughtfully brought.
The annual address is hereafter to be a permanent feature of the Phila-
delphia banquet, and none could have given a more eloquent or inspired
talk than did Bro. B. L. Whitman, former president of Colvunbian Uni-
versity, who spoke on the "Significance of Civic Uprisings." The other
292 . THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
toasts were as follows: Dr. Herman V. Ames, Professor of American
History at the University; Edson S. Harris, secretary of the Executive
Council; Henry Ashton Little, John C Hinckley, William O. Miller and
Frederick S. Foulkro<l, after which several other men were called on
by Bro. O. Lewis, toastmaster.
MIDDLEBURY.
On June 25 an enthusiastic meeting of Delta U. alumni of Middlebury
Qiapter was held in the fraternity rooms, and the Middlebury Delta
Upsilon Alumni Association was formed, with E. B. Qift, '93, president,
and G. W. Eddy, 04, secretary and treasurer.
On the same evening the Delta Upsilon Club of Vermont was
formed. F. C. Partridge, Amherst, '82, was elected president and S. B.
Botsford, Middlebury, '00, secretary-treasurer. The immediate purpose
of these two organizations is to increase interest in the coming Middlebury
convention.
A DELTA U. BASEBALL STAR.
JOHN W. Coombs, '06, of the Colby baseball team, of Watei-
^ ville. Me., has signed as pitcher for the "Athletics," the Philadelphia
team of the American League. Coombs is a young giant, weighing close
to 200 pounds, and has made a great record as a baseball player and all
around athlete among the New England colleges.
During the summer Coombs has been a member of the Mont-
pelier team of the Vermont League. Three years ago Manager Mack
offered to sign the Colby man, but he refused to play professional ball,
preferring to finish his college course. Coombs is a right-handed pitcher,
possesses great speed and is a hard hitter.
Coombs' track athletic work has proved as much value to Colby as
his baseball playing. In the big intercollegiate games in Maine in May
he won five first places, scoring enough points to win the meet. He ran
the hundred yards in 10 1-5 seconds.

ABOUT THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS.
The Caduceus of Kappa Sigma, commenting on an article in the
Alpha Tau Omega Palm, by a Rhodes scholar says:
Did Cecil Rhodes, when he provided so largely for the Oxford scholar-
ships which hear his name, plan in ignorance of the differences between the
systems of education in the various countries which he hoped to bring into
closer relations, or in deliberate disregard of these differences? Did he for-
see that many of the American scholarships would be held by gn^duate
students? Did he surmise that these mig^t be driven to flock by themselves^
as an exchange reports they are doing? Did he know how little attention
would be paid in practice to his suggested requirement of athletic ability?
In any event, we can hardly doubt that he expected that many years would
be required to bring forth the full fruit of his great designs. His spirit
will have need of patience.
It is greatly to be regretted if any of the Americans are making the
mistake of keeping to themselves. Fearing to make this very error the
Delta Upsilon Rhodes Scholars refrained during their first term from
forming an alumni club. This was kept in mind when they did organize
and they provided only for an annual dinner and a business meeting
once a term. It is interesting to note, also, that the twelve Delta Upsilon
Rhodes Scholars now at Oxford are divided between eight different
colleges.
In an article in The Phi Gamma Delta, "A Fiji Rhodes Scholar
at Oxford," by a Tennessee Fiji the difference between the athletic life
at Oxford and in the States, and the spirit that pervades it, receive this
comment :
This is in the athletic life of the students, and more especially in the
spirit that pervades it. Ttie present day is the most critical period In the
history of American athletics, and if those who are confronted with the
solution of the problem could see the workings of the English system, their
IK)sition would be much easier. In the first place, there are many more
294 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
forms of athletics at Oxford than In an ordinary American unlyersity. A
man has his choice of two kinds of football, rowing, hockey, lacrosse, cricket,
tennis, and track work, besides several minor forms, so that every one's
taste can be satisfied. Then It must be remembered that while Oxford has
over 3,500 students, an attendance smaller than that of our own Harvard
and Michigan, these students are scattered among more than twenty col-
leges, the largest of which has only 32 5 men. This being the case, every
Oxford student can participate In some kind of sport, and there is no evidence
of that unfortunate situation In our American universities, where nine-tenths
of the students are merely spectators. EiVery Oxford college has a team
in every sport, and among these different colleges there Is as much rivalry
as between any universities In America. The spirit, however. Is essentially
different. The American motto Is "Win, by fair means or foul, but win."
while the Englishman says, "Sport for sport's sake. • • • Above all,
there Is no professional coaching, and such a thing as "ringers" are
undreamed of. What a different sight from the modern American 'varsity
football team! • • • To a lover of pure athletics, the sport of Oxford
and Cambrdge must seem Incomparably superior to the college sport of the
United States. • • •
The same article contains a strong appeal to college men that our
Delta U. graduates will read with especial interest in view of the fact
that we have nine of the seventy-eight Rhodes scholars from the United
States, as well as four from Canada.
The next qualifying examinations will be held in January, 1907, and no
FIJI of the Rhodes Scholar type should neglect this opportunity to win for
himself one of the greatest prizes ever offered to ambitious young men.
* * * At present only seventy-eight of the ninety-four scholarships
assigned to the United States are filled. Nothing indicates more strikingly
the all too prevalent lack of appreciation for the scholarships. The Ameri-
can college world has not yet awakened to Its opportunities and responsi-
bilities. I say responsibilities, because, after accepting the scholarships
assigned to it, each state should recognize its duty to send its representa-
tive every year, and should take great care that he is "representative."
ITntil this duty is discharged, the scholarships can not reap their fullest
advantages, and our country must be the loser. So every man that is quali-
fied should do his best to win a Rhodes Scholarship. Not that he will find
at Oxford equipment and paraphernalia superior to that wlilch exists in
America, but because there Is a subtle Influence in the atmosphere of the
quaint old university that not all the wealth of the multi-millionaires could
communicate to a fledgling of their own creation.
It is interesting to note the geographical distribution of Delta Upsi-
lon's Rhodes Scholars. Delta Upsilon has chapters in but fifteen States
and two Canadian provinces. In Canada we have one Rhodes Scholar
from the Province of Quebec, one from Nova Scotia and two from
Ontario. In the United States there are seven states represented by
nine scholars : Maine, i ; New Hampshire, i ; Vermont, i ; Massachu-
GOSSIP OF THE GREEKS 295
setts, i; Rhode Island, 2; New York, i; California, 2. New England
seems to maintain her traditions, claiming even the Nova Scotia scholar,
who is from Harvard. There is a wide gap between California and
New York with nine states in which Delta Upsilon should be heard from
at the next examinations.
Owing to the death of Mr. C. M. Zener The Phi Gamma Delta
editorial pen is wielded by a new hand, Mr. W. A. Wood, whose first
experience with his cliapters brings out a slashing leader. He writes of :
♦ ♦ ♦ — the matter of chapter correspondents and the wonderful
productions which reach this office from their pens. Evidently, somewhere in
the remote past, before times were so busy, some one wrote the first chapter
letter, and, bless our souls, it must have been "sui generis." From the
outcroppings of rudimentary things which occur in the collection coming
each month the first letter was surely written on both sides of the paper;
they didn't use capitals in those days nor did they spell out any proper
names carefully. Everything in that first letter was taken for granted. Of
course, they did not have any such thing as a style then and it is not to be
expected any correspondent could have brains enough to grasp what kind of
a letter the editor of today would like. Then, too, the editor has plenty of
time and nothing else to require any attention, so he can rewrite and respell
most of the letters. One of our friends suggests we send out some one-sided
paper. We knew of an editor who one time did editorially eay, if thingrs
did not improve he would send out such paper, when some bright youth
calmly wrote in for some. Some editors of fraternity magazines have tried
to reform their correspondents. We know better — maybe in time they will
evolute. Meanwhile the editor "is doing the best he knows how."
We felt that way, too, six or seven years ago, and we tried to
reform the chapter editors. We may have reformed the office, for
conditions are certainly different, but the chapter editors have changed
often rather than much. Occasionally a new man fails to catch the spirit
of his predecessor, but as a whole they are conscientious, loyal and
efficient. It may be that the Fiji man, having nearly double the number
of chapter editors has twice as much to worry him. But we have
regained our optimism.
The cornerstone of the new Alpha Delta Phi Clubhouse that is being
erected at 136-138 West Forty-fourth street, was laid yesterday morning in
the presence of about 150 members of the fraternity.
The club building is being erected upon a lot, 35 by 100 feet, and will
cost, including the land, about |265,000. It will be eight stories high, two
stories of which wiU be used for club purposes and the remaning floors for
296 THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
apartments for members. There will be fifty-seven of these rooms and apart-
ments. It Is expected that the building will be ready for occupancy in the
fall.
The building, which is to be known as the Alpha Delta Phi House, is
the first fraternity club building of its kind owned and erected in this coun-
try. — New York Times.

Representatives of eight universities met at Qiicago April 13 and
organized a new Greek letter fraternity, to be composed of those who
iiave acquitted themselves creditably in oratory and debate at intercollegiate
contests. Undergraduates as well as alumni will be eligible for member-
ship. It is intended to make the society national in character and form
chapters in all universities. The universities represented at the opening
session of the conference were Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois, Chicago,
Iowa, Michigan and Northwestern.

The Sigma CTii endowment fund plan has secured to that fraternity
in the six years of its working their Cornell, Stanford and Michigan
chapter-houses, property aggregating over $60,000 in value, and each
year adds to the fund $2,100. — The Rainbow of Delta Tau Delta,

OUR readers may be interested
to know that four nephews
of Ralph Voorhees of this town are
sriven a place in the recent edition of
••Who's Who in America." They are
Edward B. Voorhees, professor of
agriculture in Rutgers college; ex-
Governor Foster M. Voorhees, of
Elizabeth; President David Pelmley,
of the Illinois State Normal Univer-
sity, of Normal, 111., and Rev. Oscar
M. Voorhees, of High Bridge, secre-
tary and treasurer of the United
Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. They
are sons, respectively, of John, Nath-
aniel, Ellen and Samuel Voorhees,
and were all present at the Voorhees
family reunion held at High Bridge,

The four men mentioned above
are members of Delta Upsllon — ex-
Govemor Foster M. Voorhees, Rut-
gers, '76; Prof. Edward B. Voorhees,
Rutgers, '81; President David Felm-
ley, Michigan, '81, and Rev. Oscar
M. Voorhees, Rutgers, '88. Ralph
Voorhees, the uncle, is not a college
man, but has been a munificent bene-
factor of colleges, having given the
Voorhees Library to Rutgers, Voor-
hees Hall to Carroll College, Wauke-
sha, Wis.; the chapel to Maryville
College, Maryville, Tenn., and girls'
dormitories to Huron, S. D., and
Hope College, Holland, Mich. He
has also endowed the Elizabeth Voor-
hees College at Velio re, India.
Participating in the twelfth an-
nual meeting of the Lake Mohawk

of Harvard University.
ADELBERT*
Active Membership, 19.
ADELBERT Chapter expects every
man who was in school last year
to be back this fall. This will give
us an unusually good bunch to start
our fall rushing with. Besides, we
already have several good men
pledged and the rushing season will
not be so very burdensome.
As none of our men graduated last
spring, we have little to say regard-
ing commencement. The only man
who participated was D. Handyside.
who gained a prize in the Junior-
Sophomore oratorical contest.
Two professors whom many a
grad. will remember with varied feel-
ings, will be missing from college
when it opens this fall. Prof. Mor-
ley, well known in the scientific
world, and Prof. Potwin. whose EJng-
lish courses have always been popu-
lar, have been pensioned by the Car-
negie Pension Fund.
In athletics last spring the base-
ball team, on which there were four
Delta U. men, made an excellent
showing, as did also the track team.
However, the most important affair
in the athletics of the coming year
will be the inaugruration of the new
Bix Six rules. By barring all men
holding degrees these rules deprive
Reserve of many athletes among the
Medics, Dents and Laws. The Fresh-
man rule will also keep many good
men out of athletics for a year at
least. Besides, several of our ath-
letes in the Senior class go to Case
next year, so it is evident that old
Reserve will be in pretty bad shape
for the coming year at least. These
new rules are, probably, a harder
blow to Reserve than they are to any
of the other Bix Six schools, and they
limit the number of men from which
we can choose our teams to less than
two hundred.
In general college affairs, all we
have to mention is the election of
Brother Handyside to the treasurer-
ship of the Y. M. C. A., an office
which has been held by the treasurer
of the university in the past.
Last year we enjoyed a visit from
Brother Leavitt, the District Presi-
dent, who gave us a very interesting
talk on general fraternity affairs.
We would greatly appreciate a visit

AMHERST*
Active Membership, 20.
AMHERST has held its own this
last year in athletics.
The college has grown in numbers,
and in proportion to the numbers the
scholarship of the college has also
grown.
In the different college actiyities.
Delta Upsilon has taken its part. On
the football team we had Lewis, '06,
asd Osborne, '07. Brldgman, '06,
was manager of the track team and
Thayer, '06, was on the team.
Delta U. was represented on the
glee clubs by Howe, '06, Bridgman,
'06, and H. L. Smith, '09. Lewis
and Bridgman were on the Scarab,
the Senior honorary society.
The college dramatics were fine
this year. "The Riyals" was the play
giyen. Bro. Howe was chairman of
the committee. Bro. Hall was man-
ager, and Hall, Lewis and Haller
were in the cast.
Commencement caused a loss of
nine strong men. Delta U. was rep-
resented by Bros. Hall and Qlasgow
for the Bond prize, which was won
by Bro. Qlasgow. Bro. Hall was also
ivy orator. Bro. Carter was on the
Hardy Eight and Hyde Six.
Among the class officers, Bro.
Howe was on the Senior Promenade
Committee and Committee of Com-
mittees. He was also chairman of
the Class Book Committee. Bro.
Hall was on the Class Day Commitr
tee, Bro. Pethybridge on the Pro-
gramme Committee and Bro. Bridg-
man was Prophet of Prophets.
Among the new Seniors, Bro. Os-
bome made the Scarab, and Bro. Pal-
mer made Phi Beta Kappa in junior
year.
Bro. Haller represented 1908 on
the Kellogg Prize Speaking Contest,
which he won.
At the commencement the alumni
of the Amherst chapter formed an
association.
The chapter house has been re-
paired and is in fine shape.
We have two men pledged for our
1910 delegation and everything
points towards a prosperous year for
Delta Upsilon.

in Iowa, educated at Amherst, he be-
came city editor of the "Review" of
Decatur, 111., at the age of 21. The
following year he became editor and
publisher of the "Call" at Byansyille,
Ind. In 1891 he went to Chicago,
joining the staff of the "News" and
the "Times." From 1894 to 1901
he was editorial writer and foreign
correspondent of the "Record" and
trayeled in Mexico, Hawaii, Samoa,
New Zealand and Australia. He went
through the campaigns of 1898 in
Cuba and Puerto Rico as war corres-
pondent. The following year he
made a tour of the Russian Empire
and Central Asia, crossed Siberia by
railway and traveled in Manchuria,
Korea and Japan.
BOWDOIN*
Active Membership, 24.
THE college year not commencing
until the last of September
does not allow much in the line of
news, but the chapter has every rea-
son to believe that the coming year
will be most successful.
The head coach of football and the
first assistant are both Delta U's from
the Bowdoin chapter. Bro. Laferrier
has had five years of successful coach-
ing at Hebron Academy, and has had
the satisfaction of developing a team
that outside of being beaten by col-
lege teams has a clean record. Bro.
Bean was captain of the Varsity dur-
ing his Senior year, proving to be a
natural leader. We expect great re-
sults from the hands of these two
brothers. It should be said that the
chapter has two members on the
Varsity, Bros. Blair and Stacey, and
has great hopes of adding two more.
As fairness only will be used in se-
lecting the Varsity of the year we
know that Bowdoin is going to have
the best team that is possible from
the material at hand.
The chapter is about to begin its
second year in the new chapter house.
We feel that having a home to go to
helps develop a man in a way that
dormitory life never will. Much has
been said lately in print of the evil
that Qreek letter societies do to a
college, college spirit being interfered
with and interest centered in the
"frat." We are constantly hearing
men from other colleges saying, "Tou
Bowdoin men don't enthuse over your
"frats" the way we do at ." We
don't want to get the name of it.
President Hyde in his report to the
trustees at commencement said that
the fraternities and their houses
were a benefit to Bowdoin. That is
the strongest recommendation that
any Bowdoin man wants for the sys-
tem of fraternities in vogue here.
Petty jealousies are unknown. Con-
stant intervisiting is going on. In
fact, we think that we have a very
fine system, aside from the fact that
we pledge men sometimes two years
ahead of their entering college. All
of the fraternities would like to do
away with this custom, but none
dare to make the step. We hope that
it will be taken in the near future.

ALL the excitement of the last
days of college is over and the
brothers are scattered far and wide.
Some have been fortunate enough to
be able to take long vacations, but
many will work for the greater part
of the summer. Bro. Whitenack, '06»
is traveling with the Indian prince
who is studying sociological condi-
tions in this country. He is to help
the prince in the composition of a
bviok from the results of his studies.
Bro. Tucker, '06, is the purser on
3o6
THE DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY
one of the Karragansett Bay steam-
ers, and Bro. Sinclair, '07, is at the
Newport ticket office of the Bay line.
Bro. Reynolds, '07, who is taking an
engineering course, is working on
the new terminal of the Pennsylvania
road in New York.
May was the month of prize speak-
ing contests and debates. The Qas-
ton prize for excellence in oratory,
open to members of the Senior class,
was won by Bro. Barbour, '06, an
honor which entitled him to deliver
his oration on "Ideals In Toleration"
at commencement, where it received
marked attention. Bro. Sinclair, '07,
won the second prize in the Carpen-
ter prize speaking contest between
the Junior and Sophomore classes.
Our track season in May was a lit-
tle more exciting than usual, al-
though we won but second place in
the New England intercollegiate
meet at Brookline. Bro. Tucker*
'06, was responsible for ten points,
winning first place on both the mile
and two-mile runs. Bro. Qallup,
'07, won third place in the two-
mile.
Baseball, however, claimed the ma-
jor part of our enthusiasm. We fin-
ished pretty well toward the top of
the heap, beating Tale twice and
splitting even with Harvard, Prince-
ton and Pennsylvania. Losing a game
with Dartmouth, 0-1, and coming off
next time 4-4 in a ten-inning game,
were great disappointments. A few
weeks before college closed the Phi
Beta Kappa elections were an-
nounced. Bro. Hurley, *07, was fort-
unate enough to win the coveted
honor. About examination time
Bro. Hurley received another honor
in being elected to the presidency of
the debating union. Bro. Dennett,
'07, was made one of the Executive
Committee. Bro. Dennett was a
member of the team which defeated
Dartmouth this winter in our trian-
gular debating club with Dartmouth
and Williams. Bro. Hurley was cap-
tain of the team which defeated
Williams. Both of these brothers
had the additional honor of being
elected to the honorary Senior so-
ciety, the Cammarian Club.
The Liber Bruneusis, the college
annual, came out just before examin-
ations and proved to be one of the
best in years. Bro. Gurney, '07, is
to be managing editor of next year's
publication.
Altogether our next year's dele-
gation is a good one, for beside the
number of '07 men already men-
tioned, Bro. Reynolds of that class is
to be basket ball captain for next
year.
The usual stormy Monday greeted
the class of 190C on class day, the
eighteenth, but the next day proved
to be the right one. Delta U. enter-
tained at the chapter house on Tues-
day afternoon, and had a stand on
the campus for the friends of the
chapter during the evening illumina-
tion.
The Brown commencement was
very interesting to us this year, for
two alumni brothers and a prominent
clergyman of this city, a brother from
Harvard, received honorary degrees
from the old college. Bro. Winslow
Upton, '76, for some time our pro-
fessor of astronomy here, was hon-
ored by the degree of doctor of
science; Bro. Augustus M. Lord, Har-
vard, '83, received the red hood of
doctor of divinity; Bro. Charles E.
Hughes, '81, was made a doctor of
laws. The old meeting house was
crowded; for, beside the* honorary
degree conferred on the great insur-
ance investigator, the New Jersey re-
former, Everett Colby, received a
master of arts.
The most important change which
has affected the college was the rul-
ing in regard to summer baseball
playing. The faculty, finding they
were unable to deal adequately with
the question of eligibility, turned
their authority over to a committee
of representative students, none of
them to be a member of any team.
The faculty, before taking such radi-
cal action, raised the standard of
scholarship necessary for eligibility
and reduced the number of "cuts" to
be taken by members of the various
teams while away on trips, and, most
important of all, made the require-
ment that all rules should be sub-
ject to the approval of the faculty,
and that no new rule should go into
CHAPTER LETTERS AND ALUMNI NEWS
307
effect nntil the beginning of the col-
lege year following Its adoption.
These rules materially reduce the
power Tested in the student body»
which seems very large on first
thought. After mature deliberation,
the committee of undergraduates de-
cided to co-operate with the faculty,
so the new rules go into effect in
September. We think it much better
to openly countenance summer ball
playing on any but National league
teams than to be on the fence, pay-
ing the men in some underhanded
fashion for coming to college purely
for athletics. Moireoyer, since no
Freshman or graduate student will
be allowed to play, we think few men
would come for a whole year before
playing on a team unless they came
to college for its own sake.
As regards football this fall, the
candidates return early in September
to get used to the new rules. Bro.
Conklin, '08, expects to return, and
we hope will fill center as creditably
as he did last year. We meet Dart-
mouth, our old-time rival, in Bos-
ton this year, and we would give any-
thing to turn the tables on her, for
the series is tied.
The rushing season will begin as
soon as college opens on September
nineteenth. Bra. Swaffield's brother
has pledged to us already, and others
will join our ranks to make the usual
•quota of promising Freshmen.

in New York City. His speech on
'"Corporate Management," given at
the banquet of the National Associa-
tion of American Industries in May,
was reported in full in "American In-
dustries" for June 1. At a dinner
given May 22 at which he was the
guest of the Life Underwriters' As-
sociation of New York, he made a
straight-from-the-shoulder speech on
the necessity for the reform life in-
surance legislation. A complimentary
dinner was given him at the Univer-
sity Club, Providence, R. I., on June
20.
Some of the trustees of the Mutual
Life are eager to secure Charles E.
Hughes for president of the company.
He has been warmly endorsed for
District Attorney for the Southern
district of New York.
While Bro. Hughes was in Europe
with his son, Charles E, Jr., Brown,
'09, it was announced by State Chair-
man Odell that his candidate for
Governor of New York was Charles
E. Hughes. The latter, on his re-
turn, stated that the use of his name
was not authorized. It is certain
that he can have the Republican
nomination and equally certain that
he will not accept it from any fac-
tion of the party, but only as a
unanimous call.

After more than a year of steady
playing Mr. Pinkham confesses that
he "can now see his finish." He be-
lieves that in one or two more moves
he will be checkmated. The games
are being recorded on pocket chess-
boards, about the size of one's hand.

ALTHOUGH last semester was
abruptly and dreadfully ended
by the earthquake, most of us are
back again and doing better than we
have ever done before.
We opened our new chapter house
a full week before the semester
opened and immediately began a
campaign of rushing which has land-
ed us the pick of the college. Never
before have we been so successful In
our rushing and never before have-
our prospects been so good.
Along with our material prosper-
ity, we are still keeping up our repu-
tation in the line of "prominent
men." Bros. Warner and Hartley-
are prominent Senior class men.
Bro. Hartley is captain of the cadets
and Bro. Warner has been manager
of the college comic paper, the "Pell-
can." Bro. Wilcox is a fast 440 man.
Bro. Phinney is prominent In class
politics and dramatics, and Bro. Stem
in boating.
But what counts for more than
college honors is unity and good will
among the fellows. Our new chapter
house acts as a unit around which we
all gather. It has bred into us con-
geniality and unity of ideals, which
go towards making a fraternity, a
real fraternity of brotherly love and
community of interests.
Delta U. of California sends her
best wishes to all the chapters, and
any Delta U. straying as far West as
Berkeley will find a warm welcome
at Delta Upsilon Lodge.

On the football team this fall the
chapter is represented by two from
the championship team of 1906,
Parry and Russell. The new Con-
ference ruling shuts out, for this
fall, Taylor, who will, howeyer, be
eligible for track in the spring.
Captain Russell, ex-captain Parry,

Bro.-to-be Blair will be the dasn man
of the freshman team, not being
eligible, under the new ruling, for
track until 1908. Bro.-to-be Weddell
is also a dash man and broad jumper
who will be ineligible, having com-
peted at Denison last year, winning

'01 — Arthur E. Bestor, secretary
of the Alumni Association of the uni-
yersity, has just issued a book of al-
umni statistics that has startled the
college authorities. Statistics which
tend to show that the University of
Chicago is producing old maids and
dealing an indirect blow to the stork»
and that the higher education is a
stumblingblock to matrimony. His
books shows that of the 1,060 girls
who have been graduated from the
uniyersity since 1893 only 171 have
been married. The percentage of
women graduates who have married
is about 16%. The statistics of Mr.
Bestor also show that about 50 per
cent of the women who have been
graduated have taken up teaching.
The average age of the women grad-
uates has been close to 28, while the
age of the men has been below this.

AS we enter on the 22nd year of
Delta Upsilon at Columbia, the
same enthusiasm and success that at-
tended the founding of the chapter
are apparent. The chapter has come
of age in its own house. By the ef-
forts of the Alumni Association, the
four-story building at No. 558 West
113th street, near Broadway, was
purchased in June. What this means
for future progress can only be ap-
preciated by the alumni who haye
been with the chapter in all its
changing locations. The transaction
was the result of seyeral years' agi-
tation, especial credit being due to
Bro. Leonard D. White, *87; Charles
L. Bidlitz, '88; R. A. Matthews, '95;
Joseph Van Vleck, '96; H. D. Brown,
•96; Byerett W. Gould, '96; Goldwin
Goldsmith, '96, and John Patterson,
'92, the chairman, who furnished or
secured the necessary financial back-
ing. Bzceptional opportunities for
rushing are presented by our begin-
ning the year in a good house just a
block from the campus. Phi Delta
Theta, Sigma Alpha Bpsilon and Phi
Kappa Sigma, howeyer, occupy
houses right around us, while Alpha
Delta Phi and Delta Kappa Bpsilon
are across Broadway.
A pleasant and successful com-
mencement closed the 152nd year of
the uniyersity. Byery one of the yar-
ious functions was well attended, and
the enlargement of the usual com-
mencement program gaye much sat-
isfaction. At the class day exercises
Bro. Bssez deliyered the class his-
tory. By planting the class iyy at the
Chapel, the class of 1906 linked a
new custom with the most recently
constructed building. Among the
Delta U's receiying degrees were W.
L. Bssez, A. B.; C. M. Haight, B. M.;
C. S. Fettretch, B. B.; O. J. Callahan,
LL. B.; T. H. Allen and R. P. Huyck,
M. D. The Seniors in the chapter
gaye a house-party during commence-
ment week, and succeeded according
to their wishes.
Special mention is deseryed by
'96*8 decennial kneipe held under the
management of a committee includ-
ing Bros. Gould, Goldsmith and Kent,
Bro. Gould being chairman.
The appearance of the Uniyersity
Campus is taking on a more collegiate
air, as the plan originally proyided
becomes apparent by additions to the
buildings. With the recently erected
dormitories is placed Hamilton, the
new home of the college, marking the
beginning of a purely undergraduate
quadrangle. We also haye a new
chapel completed in June. An impos-
ing effect is giyen this beautiful
structure on the east side of the Li-
brary by fine stained glass and a lofty
dome. Within its massiye wall is one
of the narrowest spiral staircases in
existence, hardly more than three
feet in diameter.
But with all these improyements to
the campus, nothing to serye as
ground for hope has been reached in
the athletic situation. The commit-
tees were unable to present a joint
report and nothing has been an-
nouced as to where Columbia is to

stand in her athletic relations with
other colleges. Some fall sport must
he found to take foothall's place. The
rule against interclass activity is like-
ly to he strictly enforced this year.
To cap it all, there is much hard feel-
ing against the President under the
surface.
Though the spring athletic season
was about as dull as it could be, sev-
eral brothers were picked for the var-
ious teams. Temple, '06, was on the
lacrosse team; Haight, '06, made a
record for a gnreen player at goal on
the soccer team; Clarke, '07, and
Pell, '09, were on the swimming
teams, and E. and R. Swartwout, '08,
worked with the baseball squad. The
former pitched well for the sopho-
mores in the interclass game. Our
latest initiate, Bro. Suarez, was a
member of the Freshman crew, row-
ing against the Tale Freshmen and
in the Poughkeepsie regatta. We
have also had fair success in under-
graduate affairs. Bro. Pell was elect-
ed assistant swimming manager; Cha-
pin is president of the Debating
Union and a member of Spectator
managing board; Jacques, '09, is as-
sistant fencing manager; Clarke, '07,
Is president of the French Society,
and R. Swartwout, '08, is on the Glee
Club. Of our Freshmen, Bro. von
Schrenk made the best scholastic
record, standing almost at the head
of his class.
This year's rushing, supported by
seventeen active men in a new house,
ought to be productive of results. The
sub-freshman rushing is already help-
ing us. With the steady assistance
of the alumni we shall get the ten
good men that we need this fall. The
chapter is at home to all old brothers
every night in the week. Come up,
then every man of you, and we will
show you in our new house what you
have helped us secure, and how much
more you can give to us.

AT the time of writing this let-
ter, we all are actively en-
gaged in preparing for the rushing
season, and find that we will have
to make strenuous efforts in all di-
rections In order to meet with any
degree of success.
The active campaign will not open
until the 10th of this month and up
till that time the most that we here
are able to do is write numerous let-
ters endeavoring to find the names
of men who are coming. We find
that the most sfTious difficulty with
which we have had to contend is the
lack of interest shown by the alumni,
demonstrated by the few returns re-
ceived from the slips sent out by the
campaign department to the alumni
the early part of last June.
We all feel that we will miss the
class of 1906 in the Fraternity and
in the University, for they were un-
doubtedly one of the strongest classes
that we have had for a considerable
number of years. But, -however,
there are still left a sufficient num-
ber of good men to pr^^vent the chap-
ter from falling into innocuous desu-
etude.

as the active chapter gave a rousing
banquet to the alumni at our chapter
house during commencement week.
We were also proud of the fact that
four brothers received the A. B. de-
gree, and the only two D. D's given
were conferred upon two of our al-
umni, Bros. Ouild and Dimmitt.
During the coming year Bro. Sal-
