THE FIFTY-FOURTHANNUAL CONVENTION.

The Filty- fourth Annual Convention was held with theAW !

chapter, October s4th, 25thand s6th. The beautiful City of Cleveland Opened wide its hospitable doors to receive the throngs of delegates and visiting brothers. The undergraduate chapter, the Cleveland Alumni Association and the ladies, combined to make theConvention 2 perfect success, and to every brotherWho was fortunateenough to participate in the incidentalfestivities, the occasion will be amost memorable one.Many of the delegates arriving on that day,Octobera4th, witnessed

a great deal of hand- shaking and the exchange of fraternal greetings.Alumni hailed with delight the younger representatives from thosechapter- halls, about which clustered their fondest memories of collegedays. Under- graduates greeted their brothers from distant colleges, andfound that each one bore the stamp of true Delta U. manhood. TheStillmanHouse was filled to overflowing with beaming faces and


Weighty matters, however, demanded the immediate attention of

the Convention, and on Thursday morning the assembled delegateswere called to order by the acting President, ArthurC. Ludlow,

6erl,’84 . The reading of reports from the various chapters consumed

the morning session and part of the afternoon. Much ‘new business

was brough t up, and referred to a special committee. From four tillsix o’clock a reception was given to the delegates by ten charmingyoung ladies in a suite of parlors in the hotel. Brothers fromvariouschapters vied in singing their college songs, and a ceaseless stream of

visitors was presented to the fair hostesses. The great social event ofthe Convention was a general reception tendered to the visitors by theAdelbert chapter and the Cleveland Alumni Association, on Thursdayevening.

The guests were received in the parlors of theStillman, which werehandsomely decorated with the Fraternity colors. Dancing followedin the larger dining room; the belles of Cleveland were present inlarge numbers, filled with enthusiamforDelta U. An excellent collation was served throughout the evening.

Spite of fatigue, the energetic committee on new business rose earlyon the following morning

,and discussed the various propositions sub

mitted on the previous day. I t is only necessary to give here a briefresume of the business disposed of in the two executive sessions of

Friday. I t was decided that the Executive Councilhad exceeded itspowers in the installation of the chapterat the University of Pennsylvania, but the action of the Council was sustained, and the crodentisls of the Pennsylvania delegates received. The present editorof theQUARTERLY was re- elected foranother year. Walter E. Merritt, Arntlersl

rain that was falling, the convention picture was taken during theafternoon. The brief business semion that followed aroused great interest, and at its close, the delegates separated to prepare for theevening

THE WATCHERS.

When over the diver’s headThe waters, with soundless tread,Close, and the sea is spread,They cover the hearts that keepA watch by the solemn deep.

Grand is the risk he takes,Proud is the name hemakes,And humble a heart that breaks,If never the wave upcastThe formit clutches fast.Yet theirs is a deed as greatWho gaze on the sea and wait;And life is a th ing tohate,When waves to the barren sandsCome everwith empty hands.

interests.The college began this, in ninety

-seventhyear, witha larger rollof students, amore complete and efi cient corps of instructors, and

bet ter financial prospects than ever. The Freshman class this ya r

numbers eightymen. The facultyhas been increased by the additionof Professors Perry and Kendall, who have during the last two yearsbeen taking a course of stndy in Germany in preparation for theirduties here as professorof elocution and assistant profa orofmodernlanguages, respectively. There are now no tu tors in the faculty, butevery department in the curriculum is in the charge of an experienced

professor. The financial condition of the collegehas beenmateriallyaided during the past few months by several generous gifts and

bequests.

Some changeshave been made in the “cut

systemin force lastyear. Hereafter twelve unexcused absences will be allowed eachtermand an excess of over twenty- five absences in one term will cause sus

The chapter is wellrepresented in the athletic, musical and literaryenterprises of the college. We have two members of the college baseball team, the captain andmanager of the Freshman nine, fourmembers of the Weekly board, two of the six editors of theLil, twomembersof the glee club, and one of the banjo Club.

There has been recently added to the By- Laws of the chapter an

amendment which pro'ides that the two lower classes shall be re

quired to pass two examinations upon the Constitu tion and generalhistory of the Fraternity and upon the By- Laws of the chapter. I thasalso been voted that the President of the chapter Shall read at the firstregular meeting of each term the Constitu tion of the Fraternity andthe By- Laws of the chapter. These provisions will, we believe, greatlypromote the familiarity with the principles of the Fraternity, and theinterest in themwhich every loyalDelta U. Should possess.

We are glad that we can state that the relations between the twolower Classes this yearhave been perfectly friendly and peaceful. I t

can be affi rmed with tolerable certainty that hazing is now a thing ofthe past at Williams.

The other fraternities here are holding about their usual places,with the exception that Delta Psi has only seven men this year, lessthan half their usual number.With hearty wishes for the continued and increased prosperity of

all our sister chapters,I am

DEAR BROTHERSHaving started ourchapter on a successful career for the yearwith

a full quota ofmenand expectations of class honors, wewere glad tohear fromour delegates that the Fraternity alsohadhad a good send06 at the Cleveland Convention. We were all more or less infectedby their good spirits, their praises for the Adelbert chapter, and re

newed loyalty to Delta U.

Our chapter heartily endorses the Convention in its spirit of conservatism, its effort to define more accurately offi cial duties and tolower expenses. I f such interest is always taken in debating Fratern itybusiness, it willcertainly be welladministered.

DEAR BROTHERSThe Adefi a l chapterbegins another prosperous year. All of our

members are in high spirits and full of enthusiasm. The Fifty- fourthConvention, whichhas just been held with our Chapter,has given us a

new impetus, and we are rushing business. We are proud of our

Fraternity and we aremore than thankful for the fine appearance andimpression which the delegates and visiting brothers made in our

city. Ourchapter feels that ithas beenmore than repaid inentertaining the Fifty- fourth Convention. I thas given us an insight into Fraternitywork which we have neverhad before. We have had no re

verses in ourchapter, but, on the contrary, we havemet with success.

Ourrooms have been enlarged andmademore pleasant than before.Ourcollege buildings are situated on Euclid avenue

,about four and

one- half miles from the center of the city. Whenever any Delta U.

happens to be in the city, be sure to come out to the college and see

bring you straight to the college, where you will find, at all times,Delta U.

’

s who will be glad to welcome you. We hold ourFraternitymeetings every Monday evening in the Delta Upsilon Hall, No.

1 938 Euclid avenue. Ourmeetings follow those of the college Literarysociety, which we are allgoing to join. The literary societies of thecollege have been dead fora yearorso, but one of themhas just beenrevived andwill probably be a decided success. The college is running on a different basis this year, inregard to its curriculum . Heretofore the recitations have all, or nearly all, been held in the morningfromhalf- past eight untilnoon, and the students prepared their lessonsin the afternoon or evening. Now the recitations are held at all hoursbetween 9 A. II . and 5 M I . The reason for this is, that the faculty andthe course of study in the college have been increased. I t isa decidedadvantage overthe old system. The studentsarebrought togethermoreand a stronger college spirit is aroused. The Woman's College, whichhas just been started here, begins its first year with twelve students.

We wish success to the new institution. WehOpe to hear from eachchapterOften, and also from individualmembers of each chapter.

COs UNIVERSITY, Waterville, Me.DEAR BROTHERSThe record of Colby University during the past yearisone Of which

every friend Of the institutionmayjustly be proud. I ts progressivespirit ismarked by the addition of two professors to the faculty andbyseveral beneficial changes made in the curriculum. The thoroughrefitment of our gymnasiummay be taken as an illustration of theextensiveness of the improvement wrought. The year upon whichwehave just entered also augurs increased prosperity forthe University,andhas already brought an unusually large Freshman class, numberingforty- four. Commensurate with the advancement and prosperity of

the University, as if linked to it, gallantly marches the Cola» chapter ofDelta Upsilon, everretainingher high position in all phases of collegelife, and never surrendering the vantage ground when once gained.

men. As to quality we can honestly say, that with oneexception, we are satisfied with the arrangement which gives everyone of them to one or the other of our rivals.

we shall hold our own. We stand high in scholarshjp,athletics, socially and morally. That we have no men in ’

that should be the case we surely deserve the admission which was

made of us last yearby a memberof our greatest rival, that we led all

fraternities here in scholarship.

The fall Field Day exerciseswere not held, so we cannot chroniclea list of the victories we did not get on that occasion. In the annualelections we received our share of honors. We have nothad a t e

presentative on the glee club for several years. Now we have twomembers, and one of those is the director. We have the Presidentof the Reading- room Association and of the Athletic Association, togetherwith one of the four base - ball directors; also the director of

the Symphony Society. On the whole we have little to complain Of

as to the favors bestowed upon us by themembers of the college.A member of the Alpha Delta Phi chapter said to one of our

men, that wehad the finestman in college. We think we have severalOf them.

Last year the chapter- room was changed, ashas already been notedin these columns. We have found it an excellent move. We nowhave a room well fi tted upand large enough to enable us to entertainour friends occasionally, and not so large as to make the meetingsotherwise than enjoyable. We make this distinction, forwe have experienced both extremes. In I 886 wemoved froma hallwe found toolarge, to a cosy little room. But we found the second evil quite asbad as the first one, and now have a very satisfactory location.We received representatives from our sister chapters,Harvard and

Tuf ts, at our initiation ceremonies,October I ath. Wehad more thanfifty plates laid at our banquet, andhad an enjoyable time. I t was

the largest gathering for three years. Our Alumni are aiding thechapter liberally, and have helped us fi t upournew hall. They seemto be more interested in the active chapter, and their enthusiasmis increasing along with ours.Just before Thanksgiving we hope to have a public meeting.

These are always enjoyable occasions for us here at Brown. We havean Opportunity of showing not only the Alumni but also our sistersand cousins, as well as those of a more distant or prospective relationship, what sort of work we are doing. I f any of the chapters havenot adopted the custom of g iving these little entertainments, theweight of advice from Brown would be to begin at once, and stoponly with the last gasp. But we are confident that the practice oncebegunwould be naturally kept up to the end.

DELTA UPSILONHOUSE,SYRACUSE UN IVERSITY, Syracuse, N. Y.

DEAR BROTHERSDelta Upsilon of Syracuse sends greetings tohersister chapters.September 20thopened auspiciously for Syracuse University, for

a class of nearly two hundred waswaiting to be admitted. This lookedencouragingly for the fraternities, and they began work at once.Among all the Greeks none lookedmore determined nor did harderwork than the members of Delta U . , and as a result we succeeded ingetting nine finemen.

While we feel jubilant over this victory, we are saddened by thefact that so many of our brothers are kept from their college dutiesbecause of sickness. Eight of our number have been stricken downwithtyphus fever; but I amglad to saythat all aredoing well, andwehope that in a short time they will be with us again.

In consequence Of the sickness, our chapter work has beenhindered to some extent, as we were compelled to vacate our chapterhouse fora few weeks.One of ourmenhas been chosen base- ballmanagerfor the coming

year. In the tennis tournament the Delta U. boys carried off everyhonor, while in class honors we are doing our best to sustain therecord of the past, and aremeeting with success.Everything looks favorable for Delta U. Each man is trying to

make the present year the best in the history of the chapter.Much of this spirit is owing to the successful Convention held at

Cleveland for the boys that attended it came back filled with DeltaUrlm, and, as a consequence, we have allpartaken of it.

LETTERS FROM CHAPTERS.

DELTA URSILOEHALL,TUTTS COLLEGE, CollegeHill, Mass.

DEAR BEOTIIEES

Thehf ts chapterof Delta Upsilon, at the close of a protracted andsuccessfulcampaign season,sendscordialgreeting tohersisterchapters.

We can tru thfully say, and without exaggeration, that never beforehas our chapter been so united, so strong and enthusiastic. Duringthe recent campaign fornew members everymanwas actively engagedand worked hard for the success of the chapter. Whateverdifferencesarose in choosing men to rush— forno body Of men can always agreeperfectly on everything— were not due to sectional strife, personal likeor dislike, or anything of the sort, bu t to the belief which each onehad thathis plan would best promote the interests of the chapter, andwhen another plan was proposed which he himself ora majority considered better, each then favored the new plan as strongly as hehadhis own before.The entering class numbers 34 , distributed as follows:Freshmen,

1 6; Engineers, rz; Specials, 6. Of these,most of the Freshmen willfind theirway into some one of the three fraternities represented here ;bu t only a very few of the Engineers and Specials will become societymen. This materially diminishes the number ofmen to choose from.

The course for the Engineers being only three years, they areclassed asSophomores when they enter.The Theta Delta Chi’s, acting on the “

come one come all principle, have initiated eight

’

92men, just half of the class. The Freshmanwho asked a classmate who had recently become a

“ Theta,

"

if

the thirty pearls inhis pin represented the number of men they couldtake in at one time

, hit the nail prettymuch all over the head.

The Zeta Psi’s have one Junior pledged, and one Freshman , with apossible second. This, togetherwith the fact that they lose seven menin the graduating class, shows that they are not doing as wellas usual.The following are the names and addresses of our initiates:

I do not tell the whole story. You need not be surprised to hear atany time that we have had another initiation and besides, when theCommencement parts shall be awarded four years hence, more sheepwill be found in our fold than goats.

Ourrushing campaign closed with an initiation andgrand banquetat Young’sHotel, Boston, on the evening Of October 3 I st. BesidesAlumni Of the chapter, delegations were present fromBrown and

Harvard. I t was themost enjoyable and thoroughly satisfactorygathering wehave everhad.

DEAR BROTHERSThe baby chapter of Delta Upsilon sendshersister chapters a

hearty greeting. Though the baby,we consider the Pa ng -hum}:

chaptera fine child,” healthy and plump, growing strongerall the

time. At present our membership is twenty— zAlumni, 4 Seniors,2 Juniors, 8 Sophomores and 4 Freshmen. SO far this yearwehave brought seven men into our fold— z Seniors, r Sophomore and

4 Freshmen, all promising and fine fellows. We soon expec t to takeinmore Freshmen.

Although not a year old, Delta Upsilon in the University of

Pennsylvania is beginning to wield considerable influence. We havesucceeded so well that we are now bu t little troubled by the otherfraternities. Apropos— it may be mentioned that Psi Upsilon is

smouldering here, and rumorhas it that the blaze is to break out inthe shape of a chapterhouse on the college campus.We were recently made to feel that wewere really brothers in Delta

We are always happy to havethem at ourmeetings and apprec iate the advice which they give us.With the exception of Dr. Collins they are all in the Medical Department. Dr. Collins kindly gave us an addition to our library in theshape of an old and valuable Delta Upsilon catalogue.Brothers Deacon andJamison, who went on to the Convention, aremoreenthusiastic than everOverDelta U and say that you must go to


a convention to realize what our Fraternity is. They brought homemany names andmany more happy recollections of brothers (and sisters)met in Cleveland.

The University Of Pennsylvania is going steadily onward, increasingits usefulness, gaining strength all the time and keeping pace with thisage of progress and development. The entering class this year isvery large and numbers over a hundredmen. The new library building , the corner- stone of which was recently laid, and which whencompleted will be a free library, is being built rapidly, and alreadywhat bids to be a beautiful and imposing structure when finished, isgradually looming upon thecollege eampus. A special feature of theuniversity this year is the facilities it offers for post- graduate work,especially that required to Obtain Ph.D.

Altogether old Penn 's prospects are very good, and particularly soare the prospects Of the Pennsylvam

’

a chapter of Delta Upsilon. Weall realize that we have a child, to rear and bring up, and that creepingcomes before walking and running; but through ourzeal and heartfelt interest we fully expect to see our infant chapter grow into as finea woman asher sisters in Delta Upsilon.

During the Christmas holidays we hope to seemany of our brothers at our rooms

The faculty, by passmg a resolution against the prize system, hasremoved the chief cause of strife and jealousy between fraternities.Forseveral years the idea had been growing that prizes are not theproper incentives for work to be offered to true students. The largeprize list was gradually reduced, until but fourremained. The opposition to the systemat last culminated in a resolution to the effect thatprizes and prize contests are essentially vicious in their effects, and

that all offers to increase the prize list should be discouraged. DePauw Universityhas certainly taken a step in regard to prizes consistent with modern ideas of education.

Much of the prejudice against intercollegiate contests is due to thefact that they are said to be detrimental to good scholarship. In orderto discover the real state of the case in Cornell University, a thoroughexamination was recently made in that institution of therecords of allthemen whohadbeen engaged in intercollegiate sports since the opening of the college. The result showed that the average scholarship forthe year of eachman who had rowed on the crews was seventy percent. , that of the ball- players seventy- three, and that of the trackathletes seventy- six, a standard of seventy per cent. being necessary tograduation. Fifty- fourpercent. of all these men graduated, which isseven per cent. above the university rate of graduation. These resultswould seem to show that intercollegiate contests, when kept withinreasonable limits, do not interfere with the general scholarship of

educational institutions.— FrankLeslie’s, April 25 111.

A page is given to the calendar for each month, b istorical points of Kappa Kappa Gammaare named, and Opposite each dayis a quotation garnered fromeminent authors, fraternity magazinesand other sources. The authority in each case is given, and when theau thor is a memberof a fraternity the fact is noted by placing theGreek letters of the fraternity after the name. The selections are veryappropriate

The college fraternity boys are coming around on the campusfences , claiming theirshare in the election of General Harrison to thePresidency. The President elect is the first member of a collegeGreek - letter fraternity elected to the Presidency. James A.

I t is not yet known with certainty orauthority, but it is generallyconceded among the students that Theta Delta Chihas again given up

the ghost. This is only the inevitable result of a chain of eventswhichbegan a yearago. Since the last issue of Tire Rainbow,

Delta KappaEpsilon has lifted the only remaining hope of Theta Delta Chi, andthe chapterisnow nomore. Andamidst all thisgeneralslaughter andruin, DeltaTau Delta is still on deck. Thus writes theKenyon scribeof Delta Tau Delta toHe Rainbow. The Kenyon scribe of ThetaDelta Chi, on the other hand, infers that the gentleman still on deckmay soon go below,

but does not informushow Theta Delta Chi willweather the storm . He wri tes as followsThe Delta Tau Deltas lost one of theirmen the beginning of this

term, leaving themnow with but oneman, a Junior, and from thepresent outlook that fraternity will have to die here when he leaves.The Beta Theta Pi chapter here surrendered its charter the begin

ning of this year, on account of too few members. Theyhad buttwomen

,and they preferred that manner of leaving to dying out.

The number of students in Kenyon is so small,that it is only a

question of the survival of the fi ttest. At present there are activechapters of Delta Kappa Epsilon, Alpha Delta Phi

This “ feast for the gods was discussed to the exquisite music of

Mr. J. A. Porter, appeared in the Septembernumber ofHe Century .

At first sight it is disappointing. We were prepawd for an articlewritten in a different style.President White ’s Forumarticle, whichhas already become classic,

unquestionably anticipated the statements of any later essayist uponthe same topic, unless the latter should treat of the internal workingsof the fraternity chapters, and view the subject fromthe student’sstandpoint. This we expected Mr. Porterwould do. President Whitewrote as aman who, fromthe position of an educator, grasped thesubject of college fraternities as a factor in college life, anddrew broadgeneralizations frommany observations and much reflection. Mr.

Porter, on the other hand,writes in a disconnec ted way, as rf his

knowledge of fraternitymatters were obtained fromothers, and as if

he were not so intimately interested in the fraternity systemas to

understand it fully— not so completely at home with the subjec t as totake a comprehensive view of the matter. Perhaps this is toomuchto expect of aYale D. K. E. and Keysman. He can hardly be deeplyinterested in fraternities, or exhibit inhis u tterancesmany evidences ofdevotion to the fraternity system. Of course it would be improper forhimto show a desire to influencehis readers toward anyone fraternity,inhis article, further than by facts, impartially stated.

I tmayhe said that an articlemust be written in a certain style, inorder to please the readers of a general literary magazine. In return,

we have to say that TileCenturyhas a varied clientele . There are

among its readers those who preferdeep andphilosophicaldiscussions;and they find these at times in the magazine. There are thosewho prefer history; and they, too, find their chosen pabulum in a

history of the world now running as a serial in 27mCentury,entitled

Abraham Lincoln. Those who prefer the light novelette are occasionally accomodated. The vast number of college- bred and fra

ternitymen expected anarticle written as a collegian would write, andnot to please the so - called popular taste; and they are disappointedwith the superficialityand rambling characterof Mr. Porter’s contribution. Frompage 758 we quote

A summary, published in 1885 , showed Alpha Delta Phi, Psi Upsilon, andDelta Kappa Epsilon to have furnished of United States senators and representatiyes 39, 25 , and 36 respectively;while in the last Congress 13 representatives and2 senators weremembers of the last -named fraternity alone; and in themembership Of these three fraternities are included 24 bishop of the Protestant EpiscopalChurch.

Phelps.Mr. Porterhas been misled by the “

summary mentioned. President Garfield was not a representative of any of the three fraternitiesmentioned, bu t a representative andmemberof Delta Upsilon.

Further inhis article we read:In almost every college where the secret societieshave flourished attempts

have beenmade, some of themquite successful, to carry on local antisecret socie

ties; and therehas existed formany years an anti - secret fraternity, withchaptersplaced indifferent colleges, whichhas been patterned very closely after the socie

ties calling themselves secret, bothas tomeans and ends. But in one case only,

that of Delta Upsilon,have the antisecret orders been able to keep pacewiththeirsecret rivals, in ei ther thequality of their membership, theiractivity in college affairs, or their increase inmaterial resources. Evenhere thishas been the result ofassimilation to the secret fraternities, till now, so faras Delta Upsilon can effect it,thedistinction between itself and the secret fraternities is simply that thelatter exposes somewhat more private business than do they, and, as to the rest, termsprivacy

The Shield (f Theta Delta Chi, The Shield ofPhi Kappa Psi, The Scroll of Phi Delta Theta,

and TheKy .

Beside this, wehad the privilege of examining an embalmed copyof the Psi Upsilon D iamond. On the cover of thismagazine is thelegend “ Vol. VI . , No. 1

, May, On the title- page we readVolume VI . , May, 1 887 . We learn fromamember of Psi Upsilonthat this is the last copy issued. and that the whole volume was published in one number. There are 1 1 8 pages

,the greater part of

which is fi lled with chronicles of the 1 887 Convention of Psi U. At

thebanquet,Mr. Joseph Choate spoke forAlpha Delta Phi, designated

OurRival on the toast card, and inhis speech we find the following statements

Since its existence began in 1832, Alpha Delta Phihas beenpursued by PsiUpsilon, who insisted upon planting themselves side by side, and succeeded in get

ting away our bestmen. I think I know what yourmain secret is— theonly secret worthhaving . I t is thesecret of success. I expectto show that our whole foreign policy for fi fty yearshas been amistake. I ex

peet to demonstrate that theonlysalvation for ushereafter is for these two societiesto be blended into one.

These words do not accord with the utterances of Mr. Choate atthe Alpha Delta Phi Convention inMay, 1 888.

Fromthe speech of Professor W. S. Tyler, of Amherst College,we clip an interesting allusion to Delta Upsilon . In themidst of arecollective sketch of Amherst, ProfessorTyler said

In 1869 came Delta Upsilon, nominally anti - secret, but really as secret as anyof the nominally secret societies.

How lucidly expressed, and what a terrible state of affairs ! On

the one hand Delta Upsilon, nominally antisecret, but in reality reveling inmysteries

and holding theirmeetings after the fashion of the Salvation Army,we suppose. Oh, Tyler !

The first appearance in the present sanctumof the Kappa Alphaj ournal is that of the July issue. I t is a handsome b i-monthly, issuedby Kappa Alpha

,Southern Order. In the initial article of this

number ex tension is discussed and the step advocated. Severalpages of chapterletters g ive interesting facts concerning the suc

cesses of last June’s graduates of the d ifferent chapters in capturingprizes and honors. There are published in full some tables of

statistics of colleges in wh ich Kappa Alpha has chapters, givingthe names of all members of the graduating classes, residences,degrees taken, fraternity afliliations and chosen occupations. I f themen are named as they ranked in their classes, the tables are

useful for comparison with those of other fraternities. Nearly fourpages of editorials appear in this issue, and each editorial is signed bythe editor- in- chief The pages devoted to records of marriages anddeaths of Kappa Alpha brethren are headed by appropriate quotationsfromPoe’s “ The Bells. The exchanges are briefly noticed, with theexception of the Chi Phi Quarterly,

from which an article on fraternitylife in the South is quo ted entire. A remarkable feature of the j ournal is the “ Observatory, in which the present political campaign isdiscussed succinctly.

The first copy of The Shield of Theta Delta Chi that we have seenformanymonths is dated February, 1 888. The colorof its cover is avivid blue

,and upon the first page thereof, printed in black, is amost

remarkablecomposite of anatomy, architecture, letter- press and smoke.Scrolls, palms, a Greek column, the icing froma bride’s cake

,and

several indeterminate entities are partly drawn, partly concealed in themostmysticmanner. Our attention is excited by and rests upon a

female in distress, whose figure is prominent in an atmosphere of

flame, smoke and gauzy garments. She is clad fora Russian bath

,

but apparently does not enjoy the heat. Inher left axilla is a largetumor

, to which is evidently to be referred part of the distressher facereveals. Her left breast is nearly over themedian line of the chest,and it is left to the imagination of the reader to decide whetherornot


shehas another. Her hands are clasped over a shield, upon whichare inscribed the letters Theta Delta Chi. We behold and tremble.The number is comprised within the limits of fifty- seven pages, in

cluding the table of contents, lists of offi cers, charges and divisions,etc. These features all precede the initial page, containing title anddate andalso part of the poemread at theConvention banquet last NOvember. The poemis by Jacob Spahn, who is evidently little used torhyming. He has woven into his rhyme scraps from several songs.A few lines run as follows

Sore the penalty I warrantAll the bibulous willpay,Yet for some it is abhorrentDry to close a banquet day.

Oh, they view theirworldlymission,Rambling rakes of poverty,Witha smile of cold derision,

Keeping fromsad savior free.

Trulyno to -morrow is,Live the now ,

while time beflying ,Recognizing wisely thisEarthly life is onlydyingAnd the king in royal purple,Throned within the Palacewall,Likehishumble subjectmillions,Slave is to a bone-man’s call.”

Aftermentioning Death, the poet asksDoeshe quenchthe lightly jokeletFromthedreadinghuman breast ?

Perhaps the trouble with the female on the cover is that “ thelightly jokelet ” is being quenched fromher dreading breast. Fromthe article entitled “ Progress of the Fraternity during the last ConventionYear, we learn of the enthusiasm shown at Convention, theestablishment of the Zeta charge at Brown and that of the Episilon

Deuteron at Yale. The charges report the initiation of 1 1 5 newmembers during the year.One page is devoted to editorials inwhich the claims of TheShield

areput forth, and the high aimof the editorial board stated. Themembers of the newly- established charge at Yale seemfilled with aspirit of loyalty and zeal, and their correspondent writes very hope

new neckties. DOmany of themen have drees su its, and do many ofthempack traveling bags when going on a trip ? DO they wear new

neckties very often ? Do they usually leave the wri ting of a chargeletter till the lastmoment ?

Two songs ofmediocremeri t follow the correspondence, and thesein turn precede several pages of personals. There is no exchange department.

The Shield forMay reached us inAugust, soon after the Februarynumber came to our table. The colorof the coverhas been changed .

The Editor comments as follows upon the changeLed by the adverse criticismOf the last cover, wehave thought it best to

make the present change. \Vhile the other cover was intended primarily to symbolize our black, whi te and blue— yet we feel that froman artistic standpoint theresult was not all that might be desired. We sincerelyhope that this onewill

provemore acceptable, and be a step forward inmaking the Shield perfect in everydetail.

Fromblue blazes the progress ion is toward red fumes. The newcolorwill probably please the Hena rd correspondent, who writes ofthe February issue: ln Cambridge the opinion is that the inside isespital, but that the ou tside is ratherwild.

”The May number is in

all respec ts better than its immediate predecess or. We notice sometypographical errors, among themseven instances of “ wrong fonton page 60. But the excellence of the contributions is general.The Family Circle is a poetic production read at a late banquet.

Aftera prologue, announcing the occasion of the gathering, the writerdiscusses the fraternity at large, and then comments upon eachchapter. There is a vein of intent ional absurdity running throughthe whole poem

The epilogue runs thus

Memories of Marc Cook is a very interesting account of thelife of a young journalist of New York City, whose ready wit and

charming lines have pleased many . At a time when climate, in itsrelations to pulmonary disease, was discussed widely by the laity,Cook’s article Camp Lou,” inHarper’

s M onthly forMay, 1 881 , and

his book entitled The Wilderness Cure, popularized the Adirondackregion among the phthisical and renderedhis name familiar. Afteragallant fight he fell a victimto pulmonary disease at last. A few of

Cook 's verses are quoted at length in the article. From an eloquentpoemwritten fora reunion of the Psi charge we cut two stanzas

Ten years ! I thardly counts formuchwhere centuries rise and fade;

Ten little spears Of grass cut down byTime's unerring bladeTen grains of sand that go tomake the shore of that fair sea,Where freighted ships are sailing to the worlds that are to be.

But in our narrow lives,’twere vain to turnwithwords of scorning

On ten round years, and those bright years thatmeasured life’s fairmorningWhen rose the great sun in the East, disclosing roseate views,

And everything was summer- like, includingheavydews.

The proper character of a fraternity journal is discussed by contributor and editor, with the usual result ; both concluding that it

should primarily subserve the purposes of the order, next providegeneral fratern ity news, and lastly, if at all

,attempt purely literary

flights. Twenty pages are well devoted to sixteen excellent chargeletters. There are five pages of personals, and two fraternity songsfind place between the letters and personals. There is no mentionmade of exchanges.

The Kappa S igma Quarterly for July is with us, for the first time ina year. Neither of the first two contributions in this number seemappropriate for publication in amagazinedevoted to the interests of theKappa Sigma Fraternity;the diffusion of brotherly

love and good fellowship betweenmembers of the Order the upbuilding and up

holding of the Fraternity inhonest competition and friendly rivalry; and thepromulgation of the emoluments of the lives of men who acknowledge the precepts ofour Order, and are swayed by their ennobling influences.”

The formerarticle Take back those bitterwords — is aQuixoticdescription, done in rhyme

,of a lovers’ quarrel. The writer says of

the ladyYour face lookedheavenly sweet,

Your voice was soothing as some balm,I listened what a treat

Shortly after this she seemed angelic sweet, after she sang myvirtues loud.

" Unfortunately,as he confesses to the lady, trouble

But I , a little out of mood,Spake, and before I thought,

Gave to your fiery nature food,And deep- cutmischief wrought

\Vhichturned your very being crazed

That proud face quickly blazed.

Previously, he writes, My young spirit would often lower, to leadyour spirit ou t

,whatever that may mean. Now,

unfortunately,froze their joys into woes. They meet again, and “

the moongreets with a sigh. Hemanages to take her hand, and after an in

terval saysFarewell l byyourhand whichI hold,By this tongue whichdothspeak,

Bymyhonor, word,heart and soul,

Ne’

ermorew ill I entreatBut swear by all that g ives us painThat we shallnevermeet again.

”


But she relents and takesback “ those bitterwords, and it is to behoped that

,witha return to sweetness, the author recovershismental

balance,and abandons the delusive belief that he can write poetry.

We suggest that a copy of this effort be sent to the authorof thecelebrated “ Fat circular,

”issued by the Republican League. The

other inappropriate article is a reprint of a review of “ Ananias, a

contribution (not by a Kappa Sigma) to the AprilHarper'

s Alonthbz.The article in the Shield of Theta Delta Chi on the True Characterof a Fratern ity Journal” is quoted, withits editorial comment, inex tenso. In remarks upon it a contributor suggests that the Kappa

S igma Quarterly avoid literary tendenc ies; that literary members offertheir productions to the college papers; and that the Quarterly bemerged into a ten-months- a-year

,twenty four page monthly.

”Ex

changes are systematically handled and impartially censured. A noteworthy letter, in the department devoted to correspondence, is thatfrom a brother, who writes with vehemence born of settled convictionand painful experience, against the use of wine at banquets. Thesearehis words

Thisdeceptive cupwouldhaveus steep fertile brainsbeneathits frothywaves;and as its dupe, borrowing fromto -morrow'

s streng th, laughs a maniacal jubileeupon the scintillating bubbles of theheated imag ination, the votaries gushwithadmiration and call it wit. Alas for the unfortunate brotherwho otherw isemighthaveadorned thegalaxyof theworld’

ru thlesshands upon thevenomous intruder, and let ournobleband withonemightyvoice cry, Back, thou destroyer of ourbrotherhood, and nevermoredare to cast

your reddened eyeswithin the TwelfthGate, nor seek to take our reason prisoner!”

Part of the editorial comment on this letter runs as followsWhetherwine at banquets is proper or altogether wrong , whether the time.

honored champagne bottle is a source ofharmless pleasure or a type of debauchery,we do not invite you to determine. You unquestionablyhave your convictions andare entitled to them, and to respect and esteeminhonestly upholding them. But

there aremen in our brotherhood who areheart and soul against the least shadowOf a compromise withardent spirits, and willnot tolerate its presence. They are

goodmen and true, and the last in the world to bring discord into the conclave byforcing this question. The only thing that would result froma cOntinuance Of thiscustomwould be that these brothers would absent themselves fromthe banquethall. But we submit that it is the part of a considerate brother to sacrifice to the


written tenet and preached to themembers of the order, but wouldmake it thespirit of the chapter. I f this could bedone, there could no longer be aquestion as

to what would be the influence of a chapter or i ts specialmission in the field towhichit is confined. To feel that you are looked to, to direct affairs, is to feel

responsibility— and nothing is more potent in the development of character thanthis sense of responsibility.

An important truthis thus statedA Greek should possess somemeasuie of intellectuality, butmoralityis just as

desirable and more essential to the good name of a chapter; forwhilemediocritywould add nothing to your honor, immorali ty, in a singlemember, would bringdisgrace upon you and destroy your future usefulness.”

Reviews of Exchanges,Greek News and Personals are held overfor

the October number.

Just, accurate and full of suggestion is the article entitled “ TheFraternity Beat

,by the editor, Mr. Ironside, in the Chi Phi Quarterly

for July. By beat ismeant the black sheep forwhomfrequent apology is necessary, and with whom even the best chapters of the various fraternities are at times burdened .

”The remedy is declared to

be expulsion but the better plan,that of prevention, is advocated.

We quote as follows

I t is not intended by the suggestionshere advanced to prescribe rules for theguidance Of activemembers in their choice ofmen, but it is no less a fac t that themoralhealthof candidates is not always sufficiently considered. The applicant forlife insurance must submit to a searching investigation into his antecedent and

present physicalhealthbeforehe is permitted to become a policyholder. Why,therefore, should not a searching investigationhe had into the antecedent and

present moral healthof every candidate for fraternity membership ? Thequestion of family standing may be subordinated to this, sincemany Of the mostprominent specimens of the fraternity beat " are to be found among scions

of first families, whose passage throughthe chapter doorhas been due to

the wealthor soc ial standing of their families. Many another candidatewhosesocialpretentious weremoremodesthas provenhimself a fraternitymember of thehighest order bothin and out of college. Pride of ancestry, social rank, or greatwealthdo not of themselves constitu te the gentleman, and many there are, who,boast ing all these, are sadly deficient in themoralhealthso necessary for the evolution, ou t of the rawmaterial of the college freshman, of the true fraternityman.

than thelec ture of theprofessor or the deliverance of the faculty and that enginehas but to be set inmotion. to convince the most reckless of fraternity beatsthathis conduct not alone lowers the standard of his chapter, embarrasseshis fellowmembers, and bringshis fraternity into disrepute, bu t subjec ts himto ridicule

and condemnation. Bu t it is afterhis graduation that the fraternity “ beatappears inhismost baleful aspect. The restraining influences of chapter disciplineand student opinion are absent, and he accounts to no one savehimself andhisvictim.

Theyaccepthimas anequal in the social scale, wi thwhoma connection, whether of

business or of friendship, is to be sought rather than to be avoided, and they are

indisposed to cri ticise inhimwhat in others theywould promptly condemn.

Let the chapters, therefore, exercise suchcare in the selection ofmembers that thedoor of the lodgewill be forever barred against persons presenting characteristicspeculiar to either class. Let their selections be suchthat their rankswill be adornedbymenwho shallmake themselves leaders of student Opinion and inwhomability,united to ahighsense ofhonor, will lend powerful influence to raising the standardof student opinion and fraternitymembership in American colleges. Suchmen,when graduated, cannot fail to reachpositions in the outerworld that will add newlustre to the badges they wear. Then, let there be presented to the annual con

ventions and conclaves the names of thosewhohave abused the privileges of fraternity fellowship and the confidence of graduate brothers . Let certain, prompt ,public and ignominious expulsion follow, and the fraternityworld will no longerbewail. thedepredations of the fraternity beat. ’

The same feeling characterizes the article entitled Fellowship.

In it is expressed the conviction that the standard of a chapter shouldneverbe lowered for the sake of increasing the membership ; ratherlet the chapterdie than receive the unworthy into fellowsh ip.

The exchange editor, after mentioning that the monthly and

quarterly publications of the Greek- letter fraternities nowmake quitean imposing array upon his table, reviews but six publications, andthe space allotted them covers only three lines over six pages. Threenumbers of the Phi Kappa Psi Shield have appeared in the intervalbetween the last and the present issue of the Quarterb u these are te

viewed in a three line remark.

The chapter correspondence is all readable, the commencementseason furnishing items of unusual numberand interest. Fromtheletterof the scribe of the Franklin and Marshall chapterwe reprint thefollowing paragraph

’88 on the public street placed his pin on the

breast of a Sophomore. The latter wore this pin for several days and during

Commencement week sported the colors he attended the Delta banquet , and theo ther fraternitymen thoughthewas a fully initiated Delta Tau Delta. Some one

askedhimabouthis fraternity banquet andhe deniedhismembership, thoughadmittinghis being at the reunion. A fullmemberof the fraternitywas then quest ioned. He also denied the Sophomore being a brother, and said hehad beentaken to the banquet tomake the alumni believe the chapterhad not been dormant . Whatwill bedonenext year is onlyconjecture, but surelyDelta Tau Deltahas gained nothing byher procedure.

With the certainty of find ing good food for reflection, we turnwith satisfaction to the pages of 2Ire Rainbow (y

'

Delta Tau Della.

With the exception of a page of quoted jokes, about three pages of

book reviews and the pages of advertisements, the wholemagazine isfi lled with exclusively fraternity material, thus meeting the requirements of those who sigh for an “ ideal fraternity journal. The contributor of the article on Inter- chapter Correspondence expec ts toomuchfromthe adoption of a systemof this sort. The topics of dis

cussion in such correspondencemust of necessity be limited, especiallywhen the writers have nevermet. In fraternities in which such asystemis in vogue (as it is in Delta Upsilon). it is not productive ofmuch good. Recitals of achievements in class- rooms orathletic fieldenumeration of membership ; expressions of congratulation and of

hope ; and news items regarding other fraternities formthe burden ofsuch correspondence, and the stories become old in less than four

years. The system is admirable, and has its uses bu t they are

limited.

AMONG THE EXCHANGES. 43

An alumnus gives some opinions concerning the ideal fraternityjournal. We quote a few ofhis statements

Let it contain sketches of colleges where wehave chapters, and of thechapters themselves, doings of other Greek soc ieties,historical reminiscences of

Delta Tau Delta and of 7hRainbow . Cuts of chapter-houses, w ithaecompanying short sketches, would enlightenmany. Scores of like subjec ts presentthemselves and there remain always our contemporaries ! Make the articles as

terse and interesting as possible; omit rambling essays and superfluous matter of

allkinds. Aimto interest and please, not to fi ll up space a paper is judged bythe value of its readingmatter, not by the thousands of ems pica it contains. Let

it be a bond between the fraternity andhermen, welcome, not because it is published by Délta Tau Delta, but because its ownworthclaims our attention. Spaceina quarterly journal is valuable. Devote theseprecious pages to the advancementof our order. Essays onliterature, philosophy, science and the arts can find spacein college journals. Suchsubjects do not interest the alumni we went throughthat sort of thing in our college days. We look eagerly for items of our chapter,and nervs of the general fraternity if they are lacking , or are few andmeagre, thepaper is cast aside and forgotten. Ihear frommy own chapter onlywhen fundsare required, andmust depend on the officialorgan andmembers of offer-f raternities for information ! Not one (chapter correspondent) in ten is worthy theoffice. Lethimbe even a betterman thanyour W . P.

, forhe represents you tothe outside world. He should g ive newsy items, lists of initiates and alumni,news of contemporary fraternities, and fac tshe thinks will beof interest to all. Heshould considerhisquarterly lettera pleasant task instead of an irksome duty, andmakehis letters readable, worthy ofhis chapter and interesting to the fraternity ingeneral. Enoughtranspires in three months to g ivehimplenty to talk about.Above all, try to bematter- of- fact and to the point, and put asmuchin as few

words as possible. Keep your alumni interested, for the alumni are thekeystone ofthe arch, the trunk of the fraterni ty tree. Omit theusual stereotyped locals. Men

of other chapters carenot for the number of visitors, but foryour actions as a partof the fraternity.

”

In The Symposium eight suggestionsaremade for theamelioration of the fraternity. The first comes froma memberwho thinks thatDelta Tau Delta is behindher rivals in scholarship. This admissionis frank. He urges that scholarship be reported fully, and be en

couraged, if possible, by the establishment of chapter honors. Thedisposition of some to ridicule honormen and digs he meets withthe simple statement We go to college to become scholars. Thesecond contributor to “ The Symposium” reiterates the statement thatmoney is necessary in the successful conducting of fraternity interests .

He sums uphis views in the following paragraph


And takemy word for it, fraternity work will go ahead witha freshnessand vimthat will surprise ourselves and terrify all our enemies. We shall thenhave an end of this criticismof men whomwe neverhelp, and perhaps we shallhave an end of this everlasting twaddle and rot about the indifference of alumni '— that surprisingly inhuman set of cultivated gentlemenwho persist in paying noattention to an organizationwhichpersists in paying no attention to them.

The third deplores the unbusinesslike way in which the recommendations of the council are ignored by members who attack thecouncil when it is inactive, and criticise it adversely whenever it acts.The fourth asks for the statement of a settled policy for the fraternity,to be followed implicity and without question.

” The fi fth, perhapsthemost valuable, suggestion is that systematic visitation of chaptersbe inaugurated. Let some oflicer visit each chapter at prescribed intervals to inform the young, to encourage the small and struggling

, to

increase fraternal feeling in the isolated, and to kindle fresh enthusiasmin every chapter. The writer draws a parallel with the CollegeY. M . C. A. ,

and praises the plan of college secretary visitation,because of its satisfactory results. The sixth advocates “ fraternalharmony of action within the chapters.

Promptness in the discharge of duty, readiness in the advancement of justmeasures, enthusiastic support of individual action for the general good— these bethe things that are to fortify our present position, andmake us capableandworthyof conquest .

”

The seventh opinion is that amanualof the fratern ity would be ofgreat value. Members should be instructed upon the principles,history, standing and outlook of the fraternity. He also urges thateachmemberbe required to pass a rigid examination upon the principles, polity and history within onemonth afterhis initiation. En

thusiasm,

” he says, “ is the product of knowledge; success is theproduct of intelligent enthusiasm.

”The last suggestion in “ The

Symposium is, in brief, theadoption of inter- chaptercorrespondence.

The prevailing topic in the editorial department is naturally theapproaching Convention . Space is given to a few words about thechapter- letter, that polyformentity whichmay be as heavy and uh

wieldly as an elephant, as flighty andmisleading as aWill- o’- the-wisp,

as lumbering as a turtle, as rough and crude as a log ofwood, or (oh,how rarely !)may be fi t to publishjust as it comes. We quote parto f the closing paragraph, as of interest to those who write chapterletters:

Astoxc Tax EXCHANGES. 4 5

But, really, a chaptero letter should be a news- letter, if nothing else. Thereis generally enoughlife and ac tivity in a college or in a chapter tomake, whenchronicled, a newsy and interes ting letter, once in two or threemonths. I f thesame things persist inhappening over and over, to the entire exclusion of otherthings that would like tohappen if theyhad half a chance— then a little ingenuityw ill suggest new ways of telling the tale. Variety is the spice of chaptenletters.And he is a poor rhetorician who can find but one way of expressing a single

truth. This is about allwe care to say on the subjec t . Wemight drop a remarkrelative to writing on only one side of the paper, and to classifying carefully thedifferent items sent in; but we refrain, because of a hazy notion that these sug

gestionshave beenmade before in these and inmany other columns.

With this number ends the current volume of the Rainbow, and

Mr. M cLane retires fromthe editorial chair. His successorhas noeasy task beforehim,

if he proposes to keep theRainbow in its presentposition of excellence.

The September number of the Sbiela' of Phi Kappa Psi is theinitial number of a new volume. The editor announces that he isrefreshed by some interesting features in the various college annuals,some of which he has examined. He praises the improved artisticelement, and commends the tendency to illustrate with pictures offaculties, bu ildings, classes and local scenes.

The position of honor in the literary department and the lion’sshare of its space is given to a poem of about two hundred and fi ftylines enti tled “ The Story Of the Key.

son’s college life; and a full account of his fraternity life is compiledfrom the chapterrecords. There are none but pleasant words for theGeneral, and praise, even from politicalopponents, is unstinted. Froman editorialwe cut the following

The nomination of ourhonored and worthy brother, General Harrison, bythe Republican party as its candidate for the Presidency of this great Republictruly thehighest oflice and the greatesthonor in theworld— is anhonorwhichallPhis, irrespective of party ties,must feelwitha keen sense of pride and grat ifica

tion. If we mistake not, Phi Delta Theta is the first college fraternity to be sohonored, and, if General Harrison is elec ted, shewill be the first fraternity to see

one ofhermembers in theWhite House, put there by the sufl'

rages of the people.

President Garfield was an undergraduate member of Delta Upsilon fromWilliams, an organization founded indirect opposi tion to the college fraternities of theday.

”

This statement of the case ismanifestly unfair. I t is as unjust anduntrue as would be the assertion that General Harrison is not a Republican, because the Republican party, at the time he became a

member of it, was an organization founded in direc t opposition to

the political parties of the day. All students of fraternity h istoryknow that Delta Upsilon, in Garfield

’

s time,was recognized as a

fraternity. This is a question not of titles, nor of opinions, butof fact. Delta Upsilon is “ the first fraternity to see one of hermembers in the WhiteHouse, pu t there by the sufl'rages of the people.Very interesting tables are given by theHistorian of the General

Council, in which the condition of the order is found to be extremelyprosperous. The totalmembershiphad reached 5 , 360 inApril, 1 888,and the undergraduate membership was then 898. The average yearlyinitiation per chapter is six men. The number of sub- Freshmen initistedhas fallen from 53 in 1 886 to z5 in 1 888. The General Councilhas decided against the initiation of preparatory students hereafter.The fraternity has now 63 active chapters, 2 1 alumni chapters, and

388 men were initiated during the fiscal year. The scribe of GeorgiaBeta (Emory College)hasa peculiarway of stating that the leaders ofthe two lower classes aremembers of Phi Delta Theta. These arehiswords:

In thematter of class - standing the Phis are in the lead. Last fall every classin collegewas lead by a Phi, except the Senior, and even in that brother J . E. Mc

Ree tied withone other on the first mark, and was equal to the best in the spring

term. I should except the Junior class also, forwhile the Juniors did well, theywere not inthe lead.

ED ITORI AL

The Fifty- fourth Convention, while not as large as that of lastyear, owing to its Western location, will be remembered for theearnest, thoughtful and enthusiastic spiri t which characterized its proceedings from first to last. The cordial hospitality extended by theAdelberl chapter to the visiting delegates reflec ted great credit upon

ourWestern host, and the congratulations of the Fraternitv is due thechapter on the marked success of its entertainment, reception, public exercises and banquet.The business sessionsweremarked by their earnes t deliberations.

The action of chapters regarding important lines Of policy showed a

watchful care and a thoughtful appreciation of the future of the Fraternity. I t is a hopeful sign that delegates come to the Conventionfully instructed by their chapters ; that important Fraternity questionsreceive their full share of discussion by chapters during the interval

between conventions, and that themen sent to shape our fu ture policyare those who are familiar with the history Of the Fraternity, and

whose idea s are well defined regarding what is for its best and lastinginteres t.

In this pragmatic age, when time is short and a mass of businessmust be crowded into two short days, wemust have the res ults ofthought and not useless conjecture. Only will conventions be idealwhen they refra in fi omuseless quibble on personal opinion, and become the embodiment of well digested thought. Then only are thepulses quickened, the enthusiasm deepened, and the cause infusedwith new life. The amount of valuable time consumed in the discussion regarding the past establishment of chapters is to be regretted.But while we question themethod employed, the result will be of nudoubted benefit to the Fraternity.

The well defined line of demarcation between Eastern conservatismandWestern liberalism was discemable throughout. These factorswill be most important ones in the molding of our fu ture policy.One is but a stimulus to the other, and the result cannot be otherwisethan activity along a line of progress in the right direction.

so nu n UPSILON quarts-

ram.

The Fifty- fourth Conventionhas come and gone, but the memorywill long linger in the minds of those who attended, and it is theQuartrrrtrx

’

s des ire that its spirit may be infused throughout thelength and breadth of the Fraternity; that latent energies may bearoused ; that the enthusiasm may be quickened, and that allmaywork with a deeper purpose for the dissemination of those exaltedprinciples, Liberty

,Fraternity and Manhood.

N0 better evidence of the prosperity of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity canbe offered, than the presence in the recent Adelberi Conventionof undergraduate delegates from every active chapter. Four alumniassociations were also represented, thereby testifying to the continuedlove and interest of the alumni in the Fraternity. That every chapterwas in a condition thatmade it possible to send one ormore delegateshundreds of miles to be present at the annual Fraternity gathering, isgratifying and a matter for much congratulation. Many of the chapters justly take pride in pointing to the fact that, since their establishment they have never failed to send a representative to Convention.

Among the larger fraternities , we believe, that during the last fiveyears, nonehashad a greater percentage of chapters represented byundergraduate delegates in convention

,than Delta Upsilon.

Now that suffi cient timehas elapsed to calmly review the recentConvention, the fact is irresistibly developed that under the present arrangement of the Convention programme, insuffi cient time is allottedfor the proper transaction of business.This was plainly demonstrated by the Convention 's electing only

two undergraduate members of the Executive Council, while theConstitution requires three, and voting in one session to hold the al

ternate Convention in 1 890 with the Nor/Irwesiemchapter,and at a

subsequent session, without having changed the previous resolution,

deciding to hold the same Convention with theHarvard chapter. At

present, fourshort sessions, aggregating a little overten hours, areonlyallowed for the handling of the business of the past yearand preparingin advance for anotheryear. The Fraternityhas grown so within thelast few years, that this time, which was formerly enough

get througb, reports of chapters. committees and other matm are

formulating a well digested policy for the next year, tht is aomethingimpossible. Then again the round of bnsines and pleasure is ao

incessant that the delegates get thoroughly tired orrt bdore die Con

vention is over, and things are permitted to pa by withou t properattention. Theremedy lies in increasing the lengthd

I was inEast Forty-seventh street, New York, a few days ago,

when my attention was attracted by a numberof young men standingon the steps of anelegant four- story brown - stone house. Seeing an se

quaintance in the group, I askedhimthe meaning of the assembly.

“ Why,don’t yo u know ?

"said he, “ This is the Delta Upsilon

Club House, and these aremembers of the club.

The Delta Upsilon Club,”said I . “ What is that ?

I t is a club made upof members of the college fraternity of thatname. The fraternityhas two chapters in the city— one in Columbiaand the other in New York University. They hold theirmeetingshere. The club itself is made upof collegemenwho belonged to thefraternity in their undergraduate days. You have a lot of them overin Brooklyn, and they areprom inent in the various professions. Dan

was a DeltaU. inUnion College, and that loyalold Democrat, JusticeStephen J. Field, of the Supreme Court, was one of the founders ofthe fraternity inWilliams College, way back in the thirties.”

All of theyoung ladieswhoheld the parlor reception in the afternoonwere prominent in the evening , bothfor their good dancing and for their loyalty to the fraternity, as expressedby thepredominance Of blue and gold in theircostumes. Thefloral decorations were elaborate. By 2 O

clock the guests called their carriagesand sighed to think that one Of the pleasantest evenings of the social season was

past. 0 Plaindealer, October 2 6, 1 888 .

Thedelegates to the Fifty- fourthAnnual Convention of Delta Upsilon completed their business Friday afternoon

,and proceeded at once to g ive themselves

exclusively to theenjoyment of the closing portion of their programme. Friendsof themembers had received neat invitations on embossed paper, to the publicexercises, whichbegan at 8 O

’

clock. in the First Presbyterian Church. Rev .

Arthur C . Ludlow, the active president of the fraternity, presided, and was veryhappy inhis remarks of introduc tion. Promptly at 8 O’clock all themembers Of

the fraternity who were in the city, and their numberwas over onehundred, cameinto the churchinmarching order, and took their seats in sections at thehut Of

the church, whichhad been reserved by ribbons Of gold and blue. Rev. H. M .


Ladd was busy athis own church, and Rev.W. H . Squires , of AuburnTheolog icalSchool, opened the exercises withprayer. Professor F. W. Ashley, of HudsonAcademy, followedwi tha poem, whichhad as its subject a vision of the Spirit ofDoubt and its influence upon the souls ofmen. A panorama Of the past then came,showing the steady upward progress of mankind, and the closing lines bade all to

be brave and of good cheer. Dr. Henry Fortlage, a graduate of theUniversity Of

Bonn, lectured for twentyminutes upon the fraternity systemof the German uni

versities. His lecturewas very instructive, and was listened to most attentivelyThat portionof the lecturewhichattracted the audience most was descriptive of

thedueling customs of theGerman students. He referred to these customs, not asa relic of barbarism, but simply as an exercise whichhad become sanctioned by

long usage, andwhichis intended to encouragemanliness, bravery, and self- reli

ance in the student; anything like personal hatred, or quarrels withserious

weapons, being of veryrareoccurrence. TheRev. GeorgeThomas Dowling , D.D. ,

one of the leadingmembers Of the fraternity in this vicinity, was the oratorOf theoccasion. His orationwas full Of sound and kindly advice to the young men beforehim, andwas brightened bymany touches of humor. He spoke first of thepleasure and inspirationwhichit was to address the fraternity on suchan occasion.

He thenwent on to compare ambition and emulation, the former being dependentupon outside things and the latter being the innerdesire of man to attain a higherlevel. He exhortedhishearers to be fi lled withthe spirit of emulation. How togain thishigher placewas to select some one lofty aimand strain everynerve to

gain it.“ DO not try to climb every peak in themountain range of highideals,”

he said. The secret of success in this is foreachman to choosehis aimcarefully

so thathemaywork withnature and not in Oppositibn to it. Success gained in

this way is the surest road tohappiness and contentment . Thoughthis is the lgeof division Of labor, a man should know something of everything whilehe also

should know everything of something .

” He added that practical knowledgewasa necessity, but that brains would always bring ahigherprice thanmeremanualskill. He finally closedhis address withan earnest eahortation to his hearers tobe true to theirhighideals.

Music by theMandolinClub, of this city, was furnished between the literarynumbers, and was especiallyentertaining , as the clubhad prepared new selections

for the occasion. The public exercises closed by the singing of the Fraternity Odeby all themembers present . Forming in line again, themembers of the fraternityat oncemarched to the StillmanHouse and arranged themselves around the banquet table in the large dining - room. Mr. HenryW. Conklin, Of Rochester '

79,

officiated as toast omaster, and did justice to the reputationwhichsecured this position forhim. Themenu was elaborate, and elegantly served. The GermaniaOrchestra furnished music during the banquet, and for a short time afterwards.

The toast list was listened to withfrequent applause andwithgrowing enthusiasmuntil theearlyhours of themorning , when, amid college yells and frequent songs,thedelegates and visitors separated, tomeet next year at Syracuse, N. Y.

NORTHWESTERN UN IVERSITY.The present year of Northwestern University is the most prosper

ous in its history. The Freshman class numbered about onehundred. The new observatory building is nearing a state of completion. I t will bemodern, handsome and convenient.The Greek- letter societies are flourishing. The ladies’ fraternity,

Gamma Phi Beta, has entered the college with good prospects.

The college year Opened propitiously for the Nortlzwestern chapter.Eightmen have been initiated in the Freshmanclass. They rankin power and scholarship among the‘ best. One noticeable featureabout the fall campaign was the readiness with which the menweresecured. There was little of the hard work and close fighting so

frequent in otheryears. Ourmen who were at the Convention cameback bubbling overwith enthusiasmand loyalty for Delta U. Theirreportshad an inspiriting effect upon the chapter, and will serve as animpetus to more ardent devotion to the Fraternity and a zeal to dobetterwork.

Thus far this yearwe are to be represented on the essay, delate

and declamation contests. We have goodmen on all of them,and

feel confident of ourshare of the prizes.

We have re- papered the interior of our hall and renovated it insuch amanneras tomuch improve its appearance.Our relations with the other fratern ities this yearare somewhat

strained. An effort was made for a Pan- hellenic banquet,inwhich

we were to have no part,but this not recommending itself as a just

course to all the sistersocieties, only three will carry out the project.The mattergives us bu t little concern, as our position in the collegeis too wellassured to be weakened by suchmeasures.

’63 . The following is a selection froma review of RossiterJolinson’

s War of

the Secession,”whichappeared in a recent editionof the Rochester, N . Y.,Demo

(rat and Ckronicle.

‘


This book is a panorama of the entire conflict, drawn by a master hand,abounding as it does in thrilling events. I cannot but notice the description of a

bleeding nation re-electing Lincoln, and thus expressing its sublime determination tomaintain a just cause amid all thehorrors of war. The closing lessons of thevolume are so appropriate to ournational condi tion, that every lover ofhis countryshould lay themto heart . Johnson’

s War of the Secession followinghis otherworks of similar character, give the author the highest rank among Americanhistorians. I t is nowhighly probable that this work will supersede allotherhistories of the great conflict, except the personalmemoirs of some of the chiefmili taryleaders.

LOYALTY.

In the midst Of the college year, with its duties and pleasures, inmany Of which our fraternal relations play so important a part, wemaywell pause to consider the requirements of fraternity life and our

individual reponsib ilities. We need no longerdiscuss the ideal fraternityman, or enumerate the various qualities we would wish our

newly created brothers to possess. Having vowed their vows of

loyalty, a certain numberof men from the incoming class have beenduly enrolled, and are Of us and among us, forgood or ill. Just herethe questionmay arise, What is loyalty ? What relations do we bearto that ideal community life, attainment to which is the goal Of everyrealGreek- lettersociety ? What attitude must we

,by our vows, as

sume toward the fostering mother? Certainly those relations mustextend to every phase Of college life. Inthe ordinary study and rec itation and thewholesome contest for priority, in the extraordinary seeking forglorymthe prize examination oron the athletic field

battling against college temptations— in all these the fraternityhas important interests that must be considered by the loyalman. A selfishman eannot bea truly loyalman. And this fault of selfishness, whenapparently subdued, may continually appear, hydra- like, with a new

andmore loathsome visage. Of course one's primary object in entering college is to Obtain a good education but it is an open questionwhether the broadest and best education is to be secured by exclusiveattention to curriculum studies. The fiaternity system, based on thesoundest principles, seeks forsocial andmoral, as well as mental, development, and a loyalty that aids in the attainment of such ends cannot but strengthen and improve the individual mind and character.It is selfishness, and cannot therefore be loyalty, to devote one’s energies so completely to themastery of the usual languages and sciencesas to neglect other equally important duties of the college life. Thistype of student may, to be sure, dutifully attend all the meetings ofhis chapter, and perfunctorily perform such tasks asmay be assignedhim but there is painfully lacking any deep sympathy with the workof the fraternity, any interest in the advancement of its standard.On the otherhand, it is selfishness, andnot loyalty, to devote one

’

s

college years solely to the pursuit of athletic honors, disregarding andlowering the fraternity’s standard of scholarship. Honors, whetherscholastic or athletic, lend glory to our chapter’s name but the fraternityseeks general development and broadening of the mind, whilesuch self- devotion to a single phase of the college life narrows theintellect and the sympathies. Again, it is selfishness, and not loyalty,neglec ting the higher aims

,the more wholesome ambitions

,to live

wholly in a social atmosphere, where the intellect shallows and theafiect ions grow cold, and selfishness, lightly assumed, becomes a

robe of Nessus that cannot be torn off, and slowly instills its poisonof the soul. We must not be one- sided men, however strongly asingle phasemay appeal to our sympathies and desires.Honestly striving to be loyalmen, we cannot fail to tread the

broadest path and attain the highest reward in the most complete general development. This loyalty is not alone to the fraternity, it isloyaltyto ourMakerand to ourselves. Striving after the idealfraternitylife, inwhich each one should consider himself a determining factor,wemust enter upon our chapter duties with an enthusiasm born of

true affection. Not only by the performance Of the allotted tasks, bu t

a man’

by the spirit in which they are performed, must we judge ourwork.

Whenwe see a brother voluntarily endeavoring to render the chaptermeetings and the chapter social life as attractive as possible, seekingrecruits among the best ofhis fellow collegians, and working with a

will to secure them, constantly spreading the good report of the orderamong his acquaintances, and still raising the moral and social toneof the local organization by precept and example

,then we may look

witha degree Of confidence to the otherphasesofhis college life. Wemayexpect to find himentering into every manly sport with an en

thusiasmand abandon that only the consciousness of duty well donecan inspire ; wemay expec t to findhimpursuing, with equal vigorand enthusiasm, the studies that will serve and adornhis later years .

Suchis the well developedman that we should seek to emulate, looking upward and not downward, forward and not backward, and everlending a hand to all that call, that wemay hearat last the “ Welldone, good and faithful servant !

’

S PROGRESS.

The following tables are presented as a comprehensive exhibitionof the growth of Delta Upsilon in members and chapters duringherfilly

- four years of life. No attempt has been made to conceal anyfacts or figures that are unwelcome, because they indicate past weaknesses, but rather the whole tru th is boldly shown , that the present andactive generation of Delta U. menmay take warning thereby.

The figures given for each class of each chapter simply representthe number of men initiated from the class, and take no account ofwhether all graduated from that college or some othercollege, ornotat all. The sole authority forthe figures from 1 834 to 1 883, inclusive, isthe 1 884 Quz

Vermonthas been included in the list of

dead chapters, in accordance withthe resolve passed bv a recent convention.


Many striking facts regarding the Fraternity’s history are broughtout by these tables. The yearly variation in the proportion of deadand live chapters is seen to be a comparatively sure index to the Fraternity

’

s prosperity or lack of it. Thus up to 1 861 allwent well andthe Fraternityhad at the end of that year eleven live chapters and threedead ones. Thewar time wasa great trial, however, to Delta Upsilonas well as to most of its rivals, and the close of 1 865 was perhaps thedarkest period ofher history, the live chapters numbering eight andthe dead ones seven, including Williams, Union, Amherst, and Colby.

With the adoption of a broader constitution and the present Fraternityname, in 1 864had come the promise of better things and the prom isewas soon fulfilled. During 1 869 two new chapters were added, andUnion and Amherst were revived. The ten years following were nueventful ones, and it was not until the institution of the ExecutiveCouncil in 1 879 that another forward step was taken. Harvard and

Nortlrwestorn were then invaded, but the Council remained practicallya figure- head until 1883 , when at Marietta it was given powerof itsown and made the center of Fraternity management. The story ofgrowth in the last five years is a matter of current knowledge.The ups and downs of chapter membership are likewise Of much

interest. The numberof members from a classaveraged less than fi ftymen from 1 834 to 1856, although in 1856 the number rose as highas eighty- six. The century line Of membership was passed temporarily in 1 873. also in several years later, but it is only since 1 88 1that thenumberhas regularly exceeded one hundred . Judging frompresent indications, however, the zoo- mark will ere long be permanently behind us. Anothernoteworthy fact is that while it requiredtwenty- oneyears to secure alumni, the second were gainedin fi fteen years

,the third in eleven years and the fourth in

seven years. As will be seen,the ’

The Exchange Editorhada psycho- neurotic seizurewhile reviewinghis last exchanges. We give an abbreviated account of the attack ina few quotations fromhis ownwords

WhenourExchangeEditorran up to themountains forhis summer breathing spellhe took the latest - born progeny of his several esteemed contemporariesalong withhim, intending to run throughtheirpages as an agreeable part of hisvacation. It was a delightful day in early Septemberwhenhe sat downat a

tablewiththe littleparti - colored pile of exchanges beforehim. Perhaps it wasthefact thathehad just beenreading Swift’s Battle of theBooks, ’ eked out withanassociationof ideas ; perhaps it was only one of those sporadic phantoms that driftfromdreamland, causeless and unheralded but at allevents theExchangeEditorhad what he afterwards recognized as a dream, but whichat the timewore thesemblance of reality. The volumeswhichlayonhis table suddenlybecamegalvanized into life, and one after another slipped silently over the edge and disappeared across the grass like somany butterflies. At a certain point theydroppedfromview as suddenly as thoughtheywere gone behind a curtain orhad passedbeyond the touchof vision. In amoment one by one they re appeared out of theg roundon the otherside of thedreamer, but in very different forms.

Various exchanges appeared in disguises, masks and fancy costumes during the editor’s delirium. A slender young woman withmasses of yellow hair a tall, prim- looking individual carrying a quill

Thiswas thedisguise underwhich THE DELTAUPSI LON QUARTERLY appearedto the sufferer

Behindher,mounted on a magnificent- looking charger, was ahuge, burlyfellow of enormous bodilydevelopment . He was clothed fromhead to heel incompletemail, but the visor was raised, showing a fierce, angry face, distorted bypassion, but evidently the index of a weak character.

as the editorhad sufi cientlyrecovered fromhis first terror to approachthe ghastlywarrior,hediscovered that themagnificent chargerwas onlya dead skin filled outwithstraw, the plate-armoronlypolished tin, thehuge club onlystuffedpaper, andthe blood only red paint.

We are pained if our criticismof the D . K. E. Quarterbr, in our

July number, precipitated this grave attack in the case Of theExchangeEditor. Had we knownhis enfeebled condition wewould have shutourears to the bombast, ournose to the scandals and our eyes to theerrors of D. K.

Two numbers of the Delta of Sigma Nu lie before us— those forOctoberand December, 1888— little duodecimos of about twenty- five

pages each. The college annuals are reviewed in the October numberin the fashion of many of the fraternity publications. These reviews,with those Of the Greek- letter exchanges, fill the greater part Of thespace in the October number, while chapterletters are held over and

published inmass in the Decembernumber. Systematic reviewing OftheGreek- letter exchangeshad fallen into disuse lately in the case oftheDelta, the editor contenting himself (and presumablyhis readers)with Greek Clippings” without comment. But comments are ofteninteresting, and those in the October issue areof the interesting variety.The chapterletters show activity and enthusiasm out of all proportionwith the small membership Of the chapters, and evince a generousand friendly spirit toward rival fraternities.

embedded in the wall behind the scroll. On the feathers and stele ofthe arrow are the Greek letters Pi Beta Phi. These letters, large and

Always Greek in spirit and in aims, the sorosis finally dec ided at the convention of last Octoberby an unanimous vote of thedelegates to be Greek also in name, and to change the title of thesorosis from I .

The convention was large and enthusiastic, but representative andconservative and the Arrow feels the impulse given by the convention.It is no longer tipped with pin- feathers. Its flight is stronger, it hitsharder, its aimis truer. Following anaccount Of the convention anda digest of the reports presented thereat come severalanimated chapter'letters, brief and judicious editorials, marriage anddeath notices, itemso f Greek gossip and exchange reviews, together withseveral pages of

There is a wide difference between the spirit of the first three and

t hat of the last three pages of Anchora forNovember, 1 888. There isan unassuming, hesitating style that shows modesty and lack of confidence, in the formerportion Of themagazine ; while a satisfied maturity and a judicial equality mark the latter pages. We infer that the

Thevalue of such papers is immense, andprinting them preserves the factsbeyond the reach of the accident whichmayat any time destroy theoriginals, orrender themillegible. In a letter dated November8th,written by the scribe of Northwestern Chapterof Phi Delta Theta, wefind the following paragraph

The Kappa Alpha charger brought his rider into our presenceagain with the advent of the November numberof the j ournal. Froman interesting address delivered last July at the convention of thestate association of Louisiana, we quote

The general tone of the chapterletters is not high they are

rambling, shallow and vapid, for the most part. Sigma writes, onceagain have we returned to college, and once again is our little bandgathered around the chapterfire. As that little band consisted of twomen, it is somewhat of a strain upon the imagination to conceive ofthe shape or position of the men during the gathering.

In the Observatory of this number of thej ournal the cause andresult of thelast nationalelection is reviewed, with a prophecy addedthat of Democratic success in 1 892, if the political issues remain thesame. With twenty- eight chapters Kappa Alpha should presentherreaderswith a larger quarterly.

The January numberof the 7 0107 101 opens with a budget of lightpoems, contributed and selected. The chapterletters follow them,

giving pleasant reports frommany bands of knights. The reader cannot fail to be struck with the tone of forbearance andrespect toward theother fraternities which pervades the letters, and indeed the wholej ournal. No petty jealousy is felt, no antagonism is expressed; liveand help live appears to be the motto of the Kappa Alphas.

A brief editorial on “ Alumni Chapters includes the followingwords

We would now state ina general way that our plan is to establishalumnichapters inevery townwhere there are a number of Kappa Alphas; to arrange fortwo ormore additional degrees (specially foralumni chapters and supplementaryto those in college chapters); tomakemembership in a college chapter a necessarycondition formembership inan alumni chapter, but not in itself a sufi cient reason

the businessof well- to-do women was society. What did that mean? That thebe-all and end- allwas to dress in fashion, dance aminuet withstateliness, presideat a dinncr of severalhours’ duration withmastership, and so on. Now, to be

sure, there are large circlesof women to whomthe décolleté dress, whirling waltz,progressive euchre partyand box at the theatre are the world’s chief charm. But

T he ideas of the Exchange Editor of The Shield of Theta DeltaChi evidently do not accord with those of theManaging Editor, forwe find (in the November number) in the former’s short review of

the contents ofHeShield of Pbt ' Kappa Psi the following words“ The second batch of reviews of College Annualshas nothing in itwhatever to warrant a place in a fraternity magazine. However, itmayhave been of great service to the Editor to fillup. The “ batchto which reference is made is to be found in the pages of the Octobernumberof the Phi Kappa Psi publication, and contains few allusionsto Greek- letter fraternities. With what dismay, then, must the Exchange Editor of the Theta Delta Chi’s journal regard the poemsprinted inhis own Shield! They are

“ Keenan’s Ride ” and “ TheCarnivalAdventure. The former treats of a successful charge by 300Union cavalrymen in the Warof the Rebellion. The sentiment andmotive of the otherpoemmay be gathered readily from the few wordsquoted from each of the two stanzas Moon— waist— embraceeyes— lips— cheek— struck laughter— fleeting— dream— sigh. Per

haps the undoubted merit of these productions will assuage the griefof the Exchange Editor. Other literary productions tempt the reader,and eighteen pages of chapterletters in brevier furn ish attractions forevery fraternityman. The S/u'

The November number of the C MPkt' Quarterly sustains thepromise of growth and improvement made by preceding issues. Weare not surprised that the increase in circulation of the Quarterlyhasnecessitated enlarging the edition by three hundred copies.This number comprises much of interest within its sixty- six pages,

not the least interesting being a[ac-M eand description of a valuablerelic of the Princeton Orderof the fraternity . This relic is a certificate


o f membership issued in r859 . At its top is a pen copy of the seal ofthe fraternity, bearing the date 1 834 . This is a strong corroborationo f the claimof the fraternity of being oldest among us.From an article entitled “ The Fraternity Idea inEducation, byH.H. Soulé, we clip a fragmentThereal college education, outside, perhaps, of the purely technical schools,

is a broadening of themind, a refinement of the senses, a development of the ressoning power of the brain, and a clearer insight into the purpose of life and theadvantages of the world we inhabit. Itmakes out of a roughtexture of the commonschool graduate a log ical, thinking, refined, finishedman. I t capacitates one

to enjoyexistence to the fullest by that knowledge whichis recognized as power.

It doesn’t mean so manyyears of Latin, so many terms of physics, and suchanumber of lectures on political economy, nor does it mean the ability to write

the letters A . B. or B. S . after one’s name. Thehigher, realmeaning of educationis now so well understood that the best of our universities are permitting thegreatest latitude ina choice of college studies, and set branches, withrequirementsof so many years or terms to each, are no longer insisted upon. Now, I amprobably going farther than a great many fraternitymenwould venture insayingthat four years of activemembership in a good chapter of a good fraternity is initself an education. The best undergraduates of a college are always fraternitymembers ; the brightest men in college are found in the Greek- letter societies.

Theymaynothe the best men in respect to the altitude of their marks after

examinationday, and theymay not be the brightest ’in ability to rattle off by

rote a passage fromE schylus or the list of Latin prepositions that govern theaccusative case; bu t they are the best men in the sense that they arewell bred,

carefully and sensibly trained by culturedhome influences— young gentlemen, infact ; and they are bright in the sense that theirminds are active, their perceptionskeenand their intellects clear. Andhowever bright andhowever refined a young

manmay individually be,he cannot but gain in brightness and culture, in breadthof mind and polish, by constant associationwithothers who arehis peers in breeding and intelligence. The best Greek letter fraternities do not admit to membership an ill bred, uncouth, worthless charac ter. The intuition of you thsometimesdiscovers beneathan unpolished exterior the truemind andheart whichwillmakea noble fraternityman and an estimable associate; and I have knownmany suchinstances inwhichfraternity associationhas educated away the outward roughness, and replaced it witha polishwhich,muchas it may be despised by socialistsand communists and tramps, is a verydesirable possession, nevertheless.

Therewas danger in theearlierhistory of university clubs, that too littleattentionwould be paid to experience and that some formof experimental organization would result, having little power of perpetuation, and of comparativelylittlevalue to itsmembers. Many persons not experienced in clubmatters fanciedthat a university club should be literary rather than social in its aims;and that theordinary club features, suchas dining facilities, were of secondary importance.

Theycould not seewhy unostentatious but comfortable quarters could not be keptupat anexpense far less than that of fashionable clubs. Here, again, theory runsagainst thehard facts of experience. I t was soonfound that to succeed, in competition withstrong and established clubs, it was essential to ofi

er facilities equalto the best .”

The same necessities exist to- day. A club must be social in character, and a clubhouse must be attractive if the club is to succeed.He considers theUniversity Club of New York City very successful

because ithas amembership of 93 3 , having been organized in 1 865.He neglects to state that this clubhad dwindled, in 1878, to about adozen members, andhas grown to its present proportions in ten years.He omits from a table given severalwell known Greek- letterClubs,and mentions a Phi Delta Theta Club,” located in New York City.The only fact stated concerning it is that the annual dues are six dollars.

In an editorial a roseate view is taken of the condition of humanaffairs. We read

The following is the commentThis statement is incorrect in fact and unfair in inference, in the judgment

ofmany thousands of students and graduates. It would be unjust to equallyworthy fra ternities to permit so sweeping anassert ion to go unchallenged in sohigha court as the Century. These fraternities are known among undergraduates as

Eastern Fraternities. ’ The water runs into the Mississippi fromthe roofs of bu tthree colleges inwhichhis favorite societies are located. Theyhave only one

chapter on the Pacific Coast . Even in Pennsylvania they touchbut two colleges.

All three are almost entirely confined to New England and New York. AlphaDelta Phihas but three chapters whichare not located in New England orNew

York. Psi Upsilonhas the same number. D. K. E. has but five west of Pittsburghand northof Masonand Dixon’s line. To declare that allbarriers aredisappearing before suchorganizations is simplynonsense. Thecentre of populationin theUnited States is nearLouisville. Most of the people of this country live in

the Valley of the Mississippi. Mr. Porter's favorite societies are essentially

Eastern Fraternities.

does the class of colleges theyhave entered justi fyMr. Porter’s conclusion. Cer

tainlyno one can claimthat Hamilton College of New York, Colby, Middlebury,Bowdoin, Trinity, RochesterandUnion outrank Northwestern, and theuniversitiesof Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana and Kansas.

The statistical tables published in this issue, showing theAlumnimembership of the Fraternity, arevaluable andpresent many interestingphases of the Fraternity’s growth. The present rate of increase is about

in five years. I t gives realsatisfac tion to know that the membership of the Fraternity is steadily and rapidly increasing. The DeltaUpsilon Fraternityhas been progressing wonderfully during the past tenyears. There hasn’t been much splurge made over it, for the energythat is oftentimes spent in that direction,has been applied where itwould do the most good for the Fraternity.

The amount of matter collected for publication in this issue of theQumran ! is so great that it has required thirty pages additional tothe usual size.

In many respects it is themost satisfactory number that the Boardhas published, and we hope that our readers will concur in thisopinion.

Banquets are now in full fashion, and large and succes sful alumn idinners have recently been held in Boston, Springfield, Syracuseand New York, while Rutg ers and Penng doania are foretellingfu ture festivities. The former is to hold, on March 8th, its annualreunion and banquet, which formerly has been held at commencement. The change in the date is due to the belief that themany other events of commencement week seriously detract from thesuccess of a banquetheld at that time. Penny lvania, on the srat ofMarch, celebrates with a banquet the first anniversary of her establishment These are both excellent moves and highly commendthemselves to the attention of the other chapters.

We desire to call particularattention to the alumni notes in thisissue. In quantity and quality they exceed anything we have heretofore published ina single number. Most of the credit for this pleasing condition of affairs is due to the kindness of the alumni, who havealways so heartily seconded our efforts to make that department interesting . I t may be agreeable to the members of the Fraternity toknow that theQumran ! has never been excelled, or even equaled,in this depar.ment by any other fraternity magazine.

We hope that one of the first things the new administration willturn its attention to, is improving the postal system, and especiallythe service between New York and Schenectady.

In the early part of last fall we mailed a letter to the AssociateQuarmrat rEditorof the Union chapter, at Schenectady, N. Y. , askingfor a chapter- letter for the November number. After that thematterescaped ourmind, and attention was not called to it again until preparations began for the February issue. The absence of a letter fromUnionwas then noted, and in Decemberanotherrequest was sent fora chapter- letter. Up to the time of going to press thishas broughtforth no response, and as both of the letters bore a return requestand have not been returned to us, we are compelled to reluctantlybelieve that those two letters are now somewhere in transit betweenNew York and Schenectady.

struggling to produce a college annual that will completely overshadow everything that has appeared before under that title. To

the Brothers who prepare the lists of the members in their chaptersfor insertion in the annuals of colleges in which Delta U. haschapters, we wish to ofl

‘

er the suggestion that their page will lookmuch better if the f ull names of the members are arranged alphabetieally under theirrespective classes. They should also see that theright date of the establishment of chapter and fraternity is given ;and that in the roll of chapters, the proper names of the chaptersare used and correctly arranged in the order of their establishment.

A questionhas been raised concerning the legality of the amendment to Article VII, Section 1

,of the Fraternity Constitution

,as

adopted at the recent convention inCleveland. The Constitution canonly be amended in convention by resolutions adopted by twothirds of the chapters represented in such convention, provided thatnotice of such proposed amendments be sent to each chapterat leastthree weeks previous to such convention.

”

I t is claimed that the provisions of this last clause were not complied with,

The nomenclature employed by some fraternities to designate theirchapters gives rise sometimes to amusing results. Thus Sigma Chihasa chapternamed Zeta Psi, but we have failed as yet to hear that ZetaPsi has returned the compliment by christening one of her chaptersSigma Chi. Another fraternity has a Nu Delta chapter, whichprompts the inquiry, Have they anOld Delta chapter?” The PiDelta naturally suggests a Cake Delta, the Psi Delta a Joy Delta and

the Xi Delta leads one to question if there is a number IX Delta?Forall practical purposes we think the best name for a chapter is thatof the institution in which it is located.

If our quotations from other publications sometimes read a

trifle oddly, it is due to the fact that they are quoted literally and noefl

'

ort is made to edit theirmatter.

initiates into their respective chapters during the year 1888. Onlytwelve of the editors responding to this reques t, it was repeated in

We regret that the wording of our call was so imperfect that theeditors from A inherst, Cofiy, Madison, Northwestern and Laf ayettefailed to see its application to themselves and so did not furnish theirlists at the proper time. This neglect will delay the publication of thenames of the 1 888 initiates until the next number.

The recent reestablishment of Alpha Delta Phi and Phi GammaDeltaand the foundation of SigmaNu, as four- year societies in the acedemical department of Yale College, is an important movement in thefraternity world. I t fulfills the prediction which wemade in our Julyissue, that the time was ripe fora change in the character of theYaleacademical societies and that the four-year fraternities were bound totake there the honorable position which they hold in the great body ofAmerican colleges. The causes which have led to this condition of

affairs are not of sudden growth, buthave been gradually developingduring the past few years. While Yale is pre- eminently a conservativeinstitution and precedent holds great sway over the students

,factors

have been at work which even this fetich could not keep down. Thechange of administration and the advent of larger classes have broughtabout a new atmosphere and created new demands. The student’salumni and faculty have been by no means silent in expressing theirdissatisfaction and disapproval of the old societies. In response tothis, the delegations of theJuniorsocietieshave been cut down to nearlyone- third of their former numbers, a new Senior society formed

, two

chapters of fraternities reestablished and several new ones founded.

We believe that other fraternities can now safely enter the college, andwe hope to seemany chapters established there in the nearfuture.

A good spec imen of the ridiculous items which often appear incollege papers, is shown in the following note taken from a recentissue of the Pmmm


able reluctance on the part of a numberof other fraternity magazinesto appear promptly on time. Fromthe wails that have been offeredupby their editors we are inclined to believe that a numberof themare also sick

,but that their sickness takes on an aspect that is more

mental and financial than physical.a s:

The Gamma (U niversity of the City ofNewYork) chapter of DeltaPhihas evinced a morbid relish forsecond -hand material, at intervals,for twenty years.The chapterhas been of a fairly good size for a university chapter,

occasionally— like all the fraternities there— being at a low ebb. I t

will not bear comparison with Delta Upsilon in the years that haveelapsed since the foundation of the latter. During these twenty- threeyears ithas graduated nearly 40 per cent. of its initiates, while DeltaUpsilonhas graduated nearly 60 per cent. of hers, having initiatedthree more men. I t has taken 1 4 high commencement honors, as

against 28 taken by Delta Upsilon, winning 5 firsts, 4 seconds, 3 thirdsand 2 fourths to Delta Upsilon’s 7 firsts, 8 seconds, 6 thirds and 7

fourths— not counting DeltaUpsilon’s first honorman in ’

89. DeltaPhihas taken of Fellowship money, Delta Upsilon, $2, 700.

Thirty Delta Phi orators have been appointed to speak at commencement exercises and twenty- four at Junior Exhibitions, against DeltaUpsilon ’s fi fty commencement orators and thirty- seven Junior exhibition orators.Nearly twenty years ago Delta Phi “ lifted amanwhohad been

a memberof Delta Upsilon for nearly a month. He was not a brilliantman, and was secured by Delta Upsilon because of his family name.In two years he left college because of deficiencies in studies, it wassaid. A few years laterDelta Phi initiated twomen suspiciously soonafter theyhad offered their resignations to Delta Upsilon. One of

these was a weak brotherand left college in anotheryear. The otherwas graduated andwas accounted a good Delta Phi. At thismomenthe is awaiting trial on a crim inal charge. In the spring of 1 881 two

DELTA v. saws ITEMS. 1 33

more weak Delta Upsilon vessels were seduced by Delta Phi. One of

themofferedhis resignation after election into Delta Phi, hismembership in Delta Upsilon having been characterized by inactivity and

neutrality. The other, in answer to a letter from an alumnus, inquiring the truth of a rumor that he was about to follow su it, wrote I

give youmyword that I will not desert Delta Upsilon. In less thanthree weeks he was lifted and swung out a Delta Phi pin.

The last investment of this kindmade by Delta Phi is in the personof George Travilla McNab

,who was lately “ lifted and promptly

expelled. His unfriendly passivity, avoidance of Delta Upsilon meetings and general indifferencehad been a subject of grave discussion inchapter meetings. But it was known that he was driven by hisstudies and was already a year behind the class inwhich he enteredso the excuse of want of time was reluctantly taken, and dis

ciplinarymeasureswere delayed untilthe action of expulsion was taken.

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE .

HAMILTON COLLEGE.

TheHamil/onchapter, though smaller, numerically, than usual, feelsjustified in saying that her relative position is unchanged. She stillholds up the brilliant banner of Delta Upsilon on the highest hill- topof our little college world, and no one can point out a single stain or

blemish upon her spotless folds of Gold and Blue. OurFreshmandelegation consists of four goodmen, selec ted froma class of fortytwo. They are typical Delta U.

Our few members may contribu te in a measure tothe same result ; for it is a fact universally confirmed that when achapter yields up its conservatismin the selection ofmenand its numbers immoderately increase, centralization is surrendered, the bondsof union become lax and feeble, and such a chapterbecomes a heterogeneous and disorganized mass of contraryminds

,and in such a case

proper unity of thought, sentiment and action cannot ex ist. A fair

quota of this enduring quality of conservatism,stanch and stern, has

always beenHamil/on’

s share, and to this we attribute our success.

We gave our usualThanksgiving dinner to our bachelor alumni thisyear

,and in addition invited some “

subs to be present. Theyappeared to be deeply impressed with hearing such loyal after- dinnerspeeches, glowing testimonials to the worth of ourbeloved Fraternity.

We have themost attractive chapterhouse on the hill, in an excellentlocation, and its occupants are of no mean rank

,either morally,

socially or intellectually. I t is something of which we are justlyproud that nomember of theHamil/on chapter is habitually addictedto the use of tobacco or intoxicating liquors in any form. I t is a significant fact as to our soc ial position that in one of the young ladies’seminaries here the DeltaU.

’

s are the ilile,and at the otherwe receive

even more than a proport ionate number of invitat ions. As to our

success in our regular college work we point with satisfaction to our

prize list. This is indeed a growing season at OldHamilton. Thereare now two new professors on the faculty, i. e. ,

Anthony H . Evans,A.M . , assistant Professor inGreek, andClinton Scollard, the young andpopular poet, assistant Professor of Literature and Elocu tion. An

exceptionally large class of Freshmen entered, and ournew Y. M . C. A.

building,which is to cost in the neighborhood of is nearly

completed. The threatening clouds of the past have rolled away, andin the cheery Sunshine of the present we are looking to a fruitful


vious years; a number of new features have been introduced whichare both interesting and valuable. Brother Blowers, ’

9 1 , whohas beenabsent most of the year on account of weak eyes, will return nex t term .

We were glad of the opportunity of entertaining some of the delegatesfromour sister chapters on their way to and fromConvention. Weex tend to all a hearty invitation to visit our chapterat any time. Wefeel that such visits are profitable to both host and guest.

RUTGERS COLLEGE.

The Rutg ers chapter sends a hearty and fraternal greeting to hersister chapters and to all Delta U.

’

s. I t gives us pleasure to learn ofthe uniformprosperity and progress of the Fraternity during anotheryear. I t is just twelve months since a letter from this chapter appeared in the Quant u m,

and being called upon to give an account ofourselves, wemay sayagain, “ Ourpast is inspiring , our present prosperons, the outlook for the future encouraging.

“ Old Ru tgers ”has weathered many a stormy time, which has developed in her a

sturdiness and stability that is now meeting with deserved success andpromises perennial prosperity. A new chemical laboratory, costing

is in course of erection. During the year three new professors have been added to the faculty. Efforts to increase the endowment fund of the college aremeeting with success. At the beginningo f the year 85 new students were entered, the largest number in thehistory of the college. Of the 7 5 Freshmen our chapter chose 6 ofthe most desirable, making an active membership of 28 men. Our

hearts were saddened last May by the death of BrotherScudder, oneo f ourmost active and enthusiastic members. The memory of hisopen, hearty and lovable characterwill ever be cherished byhis manyfriends, and especially by those who were bound to himby theclosest of fraternal ties. In the chapter's activity it touches collegelife at every point. Each member, though a well- rounded man inother respec ts, has some spec ial sphere inwhich he excels and in

which he brings honorupon the society. Thus it is, that there isscarcely any college organization, whether soc ial, athletic or literaryin character

,inwhich Delta U. does not take aprominent part. We

have three men Jon the football eleven, three on the baseball nine,two on the lacrosse team,

two on the Board of Targ umeditors, and twoin the glee club. Our political honors have not been very numerousduring the year

,owing to the strength of theTheta Nu Epsilon com

bination, which now includes all the secret soc ieties here. Our

Seniorswere threatened with utter disregard on the coming Class Day,but bymaking a decided stand against such unreasonable treatment,they obtained some of the most important appointments, includingthe presidency of the class. The Rutg ers chapter holds strictly toliterary work in the Tuesday night meetings. Debates, declamations

and extemporaneous speaking, sandwiched with fun and good jokes,are found to afford pleasure as well as profi t . A new feature of ourmeetings is a paper, consisting of editorials on fraternity and collegetopics

,short poems, criticisms and college notes. The first meeting of

each month is an extraordmarymeeting, forwhich a special programme ismade. Sometimes an evening is spent in a review of an

author’s life and works, sometimes a little spread is extemporized and

toasts aremade,and the society has been known to attempt Shake

sperean theatricals. The chief entertainment at the lastmeeting of thiskind

, at which a few invited friends were present, was the reading ofchoice selections by a trained elocutionist. The result of this literarytraining and encouragement is seen in the class- roomand at commencement. Sufiice it to say that at the last commencement DeltaU. secured four of the five honors and took eight prizes, or fivemorethan any other one society. Bu t let it not be thought that we are a

set of “ digs and “ grinds. The social element is by no meansneglected. The chapter- rooms, which are made attractive in manyways, are daily patronized.

“ Soc iety men are not lacking amongus. We are favored by having a large number of resident alumn i

,

towhomwe are grateful for their cheering presence, aswellas formoresubstantial benefi ts.

On the evening of November 1 3 ththe chapter held a model “ex

traordinarymeeting.” The chief entertainment of the evening con

sisted of readings and recitations by Madame Alberti, a talentedelocutionist of Somerville, N. J. The varied selections were pathetic,humorous and dialectic

,and their rendering elicited hearty applause.

BROWN UNIVERSITY.

Last year the majority of the non- soc ietymen in the present Seniorclass formed a local society. They chose the title Sigma Rho. Thisfall they have initiated into their sacred mysteries a number of underclassmen, and now they apply for a charter froma fraternity. I t is

rumored that they willbecome a chapterof the Phi DeltaTheta. I t doesnot seem that there is a very promising opening here for any new fra

ternities. There are eight represented now,andonly two hundred and

fi fty students. Two new chapters have been formed within the lastfouryears. On Monday, November 26th, we were granted a repre

sentative on Lz'

ber, the college annual. This is the first time we haveassisted in the publication of the book since the establishment of thechapter, and we consider it quite a victory over conservatism, for of

late years the only argument whichhas been advanced against us wasthat it would violate precedent. The societies are getting to work onthemen coming innext year. We have pledged two men, one the leadero f the class atHigh School. One of the fraternities professes to havepledged fourmen out of the class of

Beyond a doubthe is themost talented musician in college. Onemember of the glee club declared that he was the best conductor theclubhad everhad. At the concert a medley was rendered which hadbeen arranged by Brother Ferris,

’

9 1 , and the musichadbeen selectedby Brother Birge. The club is singing much better than for severalyears past. The Junior class is occupied, orrather some members ofit are busy, rehearsing for the dramatic entertainment. The date of theperformancehas not been fixed. The entertainment is usually a con

siderable success froma social if from no other standpoint. Foryearsthemailhas been delivered in the college buildings by some oneof thestudents. He makes private arrangements with the rest of the studentsand the college mail is placed inhis box. Efforts are now beingmade to have the regular city delivery apply to the college buildingsaswell as to the other houses of the city. Probably this result will bebrought about by the beginning of another ear

time. OnThursdaymorning , December 1 3 th, a fire was discoveredraging in the lower story of the building inwhich we have our room.

The bu ilding is supposed to be fire- proo£ However thatmay be, itis sure that the flames were confined to the roominwhich they started .

Our quarters are two floors above the lowest, and so we received nodamage. Although the smoke was thick, yet it was not suffi cientlydense to blacken the walls. Last winter the building in which wehadroomed for two years, but from which wehadjust moved, was cleanedout by fire. Under the circumstances we consider ourselves fortunate.

UNIVERSITY OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK .

The New York chapter, cheerful, industrious and enthusiastic, takespleasure in once more sending to her sister chapters, a hearty fraternalNew Year’s greeting. The past yearhas been one of encouragementto all of us. Early in Septemberwe removed fromour cosy quartersin the Delta Upsilon clubhouse, to 7 1 3 Broadway, Room1 8

, to benearer the University, and to enable us to do better campaign work.

Our chapterreported sevenmen to the Fifty- fourth Convention, andnow we number eleven. We have been installed in our presentquarters a little over three months, and they are rapidly approachingthe pink of perfection, and even now can compare favorablywith thoseof any of the other fraternities, here represented. During the yearwehave elected a Board of Trustees, and have taken the first steps towardhaving ourchapter incorporated. This step is one whichmany of thealumni have been seriously considering for some time past, and therecan be no doubt that it is a wise one. We regard it as the first steptoward the acquisition of permanent quarters, and already we dimlyperceive, glimmering in the distance, the bright and shining star of

our success. We have been discussing the advisability of resurrectingour organ, the Unmerszbz, and preparations have already been madelooking to that end. This paper fora considerable time did goodand effectivework for our chapter and ourUniversity, bu t when thesupport of the classes of ’

87 and’

88 waswithdrawn by graduation,the

enterprise collapsed with amazing suddenness. In fact, so sudden wasthe shock

,that we have but lately recovered from it. I t is hoped,

however, that a few months will see us, as usual, at the front again.We heard the report of the somewhat stormy proceedings of the lastconvention with many feelings of regret and deep sorrow ; and can

but express the hope that nex t year will not bring forth anotherconvention of the same character. We are banded together for thepropagation of certain tru ths andprincipleswhich we con8 1der of great,if not of the greatest, importance in the successful conduct of collegelife ; and we should, and inmost cases do, bring to this work all theenthusiasm and vigor of which we are capable ; but it is useless to

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE. I 49

suppose that we can make much progress and resist the strain of

internal contention at the same time. We are in no condition for thesettlement of private feuds on the floor of our conventions. We are

still in our infancy. The determined opposition of our secret rivals isby no means a thing of the past. Every weak spo t in ourarmamentis quickly perceived . and as quickly as perceived advantage is taken ofit for a new and bitter attack. I t therefore certainly behooves us togive no Opportunity for attacks of any character fromanysource and

one of the best and safest ways, it seems to us, is to preserve, by allthe means at our command, peace and harmony in every chapter, inevery convention, and among all the members.

CORNRLL UNIVERSITY.

The Cornell chapter isglad to be able to report tohersister chaptersthat thus far the college year of 1 888—89has been a very auspiciousone forher. Wewere pleased to welcome back at the beginning ofthe year seventeen of our old men, and also to notice the determination which eachman seemed to possess, to put forthhis best efforts forthe advancement of Delta U. Brother George C. Shepard

,

’

89, didnot return, having accepted a position in the offi ces of the Globe IronWorks, of Cleveland, Ohio. Wythe Denby,

'

89, was in the employ ofP. C. St. L. Railroad at Logansport, Ind. , and therefore did notreturn. Aftersome time of hard and energetic “

rushing,”wewere able

to see the result of our labors in the initiation of six new men, fiveFreshmen and one Junior law student. Three Of our active membersand several of our alumni attended the Adelbert Convention, andbrought back such glowing and enthusiastic reports that we allwerekindled afresh with the true Delta U. spirit. We arerejoiced to see ourrepresentation in the faculty of the university increased this year bythe presence of Professor E. Benjamin Andrews, LL.D Brown,

’

70,in the department ofHistory and Political Economy; of Dr. WilliamSimons, Brown,

’

83 , in the German department; and by Frank M.

Bronson, Brown,’

84 , in the Greek and Latin department. I t is withpleasure that we welcome these gentlemen, all Of whom are graduatesof Brown and energetic Delta U.

’

s. We feel quite proud of the factthat we now have the largest representation in the faculty Of anyfraternity here. We are always glad to welcome among us Delta U.

’

s

from other chapters, even though their visitsmay be short; and severaltimes during the past termwe were afforded this pleasure. First, bythe visit of Brother Snow,

amember of the Union College foot- ballteam; then by Brothers Beatty, Glover and Walters, members Of theLafayet te College football team. On Thanksgiving- Day, quite a

number of ourmen who attended the Lehigh- Cornell football gameat Elmira, N. Y were handsomely received and entertained by oneof our loyal alumni,Harry N. Hoffman, ’

83, and by Orlando C.

Bidwell, Williams,

’

86, and Edward B. Rogers, Ambersl, ’

87 . Brothers


whomany chapter of any fraternity would be justly proud, and it wasalmost with apprehension that we saw themgo out fromus and

deprive us of their support. But while we deeply felt the loss of our’

88 brothers, it was, in a greatmeasure, compensated for by the excellent delegation of six strongmen secured from’

92. When we met atthe opening of the year, it was with a determination to adhere moreclosely to the princ 1ples which bound us together, and to pu t forthgreaterefforts for the good of DeltaUpsilon inMarietta. We returnedsix teen in number and went to work with a will. In college we onlyrushed twomen, Freshmen,

and were very successful. They were twoof the bestmen in the class, and could have joined any fraternity incollege, but after taking a good survey of the field decided to comewith us. A further addition to ournumber is anothermemberof thefaculty. While we were filled with profound sorrow by the death of

Dr. Beach, we were greatly rejoiced to learnof theelection of the Rev.Henry W.Hulburt, Mzddlebuor, ’

79, to fill this vacancy. Hehashada very diffi cult position to fi ll, bu t so farhas been eminently successful. He is an enthusiastic Delta U. , as he has shown us on severaloccasions, and manifests his interest in us so faras is consistent withhis position in the faculty . We have now two Delta U.

’

s among theprofessors, and an instructor in the college and academy inWalterG.

Beach,’

88. In college politics we have a standing at least equal tothat of any of our rivals. Howard W. Dickinson,

’

89, has been President Of Psi Gamma literary society for the past term,

and Fred. A.

Moore,

'

90, will be first Vice- President for the next term. Charles A.

Wardhas been Vice- President of Alpha Kappa literary society for thepast term and was re—elected for nex t term. We have also one of thesecretaryships and one of the librarians of Alpha Kappa. On the Olioboard we have two editors and theTreasurer. HomerMorri s, '

90, is

Secretary and Treasurer of the college oratorical association. Theprizes for class- standing have not been announced, but in the SOphomore class we are sure of first

, second and probably third places. Therecord of ourFreshmen in the academy is excellent, and consequentlywe have good reason to expec t themto win laurels in college. Thoseof themwho entered college fromthe Academy did so without examination. During last summerwe lost three very loyal alumni, which isthe greatest inroad Deathhas evermade inourranks in so short a time.

UN IVERS ITY OF M ICH IGAN .

The M icln'

g an chapterhas the honor of being among the few whodo not scoop all the prizes and secure amajority of the Freshman class of their respec tive universities. We attribute the first ofthes e failings to the fact that there are no prizes to scoop, and the second to the consideration of there being a Freshman class of about 800,

nearly 400 in the Department of Literature and Arts alone. As

regards DeltaU. inher external relations at Michigan, no correct ideacan be gained withou t an understanding of the complicated systemof

wire- pulling and political bossismthat exists at ourAlma Mater. Thebossismis not somuch that of individuals as of cliques, and a clearunderstanding of the situation, togetherwith some political skill, isrequisite to obtain any o f the fruits of class elections. This year,especially, lines have been drawn as never before, not only fra

ternity and independent, but in the fraternities there has been a

glit thathas been felt and recognized in all university organizations.ur position, which, at times in the past, through an apparent failure

to appreciate our proper relationshipand policy, has been anomalousand equivocal in amuch - to—be- regretted degree, is now assured by a

finely ou tlined policy, so that our sympathies and co- operation are

thrown where they should be, with the better class of the fraternities,who are in reality working for thesame ends as is Delta Upsilon. Wehave our full share of the ofiices within the gift of the university,classes and organizations :President Engineermg Society,Historianof the Senior class, Orator of the Freshman class, Managing Editor oftheArg onaut, Vice- President of theWesleyan Guild, Secretary S. C. A

etc. With our large roll we have been freed fromthe necessity ofexerting all our available energy in obtaining recruits, and devotewhat time we have to internal improvement. Our literary exerciseshave been kept upin spite of the fear that social interestsmight occasion their discontinuance. In internal growth, if we have not doneas much as wemight wish, we have at least done something. Thefeeling of fraternity— bywhich we shouldmean the Spirit of fellowship


and congeniality of brothers devoted to the best ends,morally, sociallyand intellectually— was certainly never stronger. We arenot endeav

oring to encourage theintroductionamong us of intellectualphenomenaandmental prodigies, bu t are selecting, with the best judgment wepossess

,men who are thoroughly balanced and whomwe hope to

hear fromaftermany of the mere class- roommeteors have gone ou t ,

in a blaze of light. Our delegation to the last convention returnedbrimful of enthusiasm,

and have succeeded in imparting a large shareof it to their less fortunate brothers. Our alumni, though scatteredfar and wide, continue to encourage us by their kind regard and

advice, equaling, if not surpassing, themost active of us in live interest in the welfare of Delta Upsilon ; and in that name we shall beproud to extend fraternalwelcome to any wandering brother, at our

chapterhouse.HARVARD UNIVERS ITY.

Never beforehas theHarvardchapterbegun the yearwith somanymembers or so good prospects as ithas this fall. Twenty- eight activemembersreturned, eightmore than last year, and all take agreat dealo finterest in chapterand fraternity afi'

airs. Ournewmen this fall, thoughfew in number, were selected for quality, and they are a credit to thechapter. The initiation banquet, which we had planned to have inDecember, we were obliged to give up, much to our sorrow, on ac

count of the annual banquet of the New England Delta Upsilon Club,which came December 6th. It wasmanifestly impossible to have bothsuccessfulso near together, andwe therefore decided tomake theirdinner take the place of ours as faraspossible. There were twenty - eightHarvardmen, graduate and undergraduate, present at that dinner, andthey all voted it a success. Themembers of our chapter are prominent in almost every department. Inscholarship they take a high position. BrotherWarren

,

’

89, was elected one of the “ first eight of thePhi Beta Kappa

,which is equivalent to saying that he is one of the

first eight inhis class. This entitleshimto an Oration in theprovisional assignment of commencement parts by the faculty and a

degree summa cumlaude. By this provisional assignment four others,Brothers Bunker, Dunham,

Pillsbury andWright, were awarded Dissertations (E

qu ivalent to a degree mag na cumlaude), and BrotherHolliday a isquisition (equivalent to a degree cumlaude). In thedistribution of Deturs,

” handsome prize books, to a few promisingmembers of the Junior class, BrotherRoberts, ’

90, received one of thefive awarded. And in a similar distribution to the leadingmen of theSophomore class

,BrotherHoward

the recipients. Delta U . men are found in almost all the varioustechnical societies in the college. Just now the President and theSecretary and Treasurer of the finance club are Delta U.

terested to know something of generalGreek- letter affairs. The list ofsocieties was increased last spring by the entrance of Delta Tau Delta,

which now numbers six men, I believe. This soc iety will probablysucceed, as she will graduate no men for two years, and as she willnot compete to any very great degree, it is probable, with o thersocieties. Beta Theta Pi and Phi Kappa Psi have each gone intolarge houses, the former into a house built especially for the purposeand therefore ex tremely well arranged. The Chi Psi house has hadsome alterations made whichincrease its convenience. I t seemsrather small

,however

,for the home of so large a chapter. Sigma

Chi and Phi Delta Theta have increased verymuch in size, the latterespecially. With two exceptions, the chapters here have much improved in quality in the last two or three years. The feud betweenPhi Delta Theta and the four older societies was settled satisfactorilysome time ago, and the relations between all the societies seemto bemore natural and friendly than before.As to our relationswith other societies there is still, as always, little

to be said. As a society we have, practically, no relations with themat all personally, we seemto be on very good terms withmost of thesocietymen. The seeming

,however, as we have found to our sur

prise, is often quite difi'

erent from the fact.COLUMBIA COLLEGE.

On the evening of December 4 , 1 888,the Tuf ts chapter cele

brated 1ts second birthday. The night was perfect, and as manyalumni of the chapter as could get away frombusiness or professionalduties united with us inmaking oursecond birthday party a pleasantlymemorable occasion. From those who could not be present lettersexpressing sincere regret were read. We always like to hearfromtheseoldermen, who laid the foundations of this chapterso well, andlistento theirwords of encouragement and advice. At the reading of a

characteristically hopeful letter from BrotherWilson L. Fairbanks,’

87, and yet his duties as editor On theSpringfield Republican have so engrossedhis time that not once, sincegraduation, has he visited the chapterwhich owes its ex istence tohimmore than to any one else. One of the faculty said to me recently“ The secret societies were a curse to this college before the advent ofDelta Upsilon. And those of us who know something by experienceandmore by tradition of the fights and feuds which were all toocommon in the days when there were two fraternities and a large nonsociety element on theHill, and cannow seehow conspicuous all thesedisagreeable features are by theirabsence, are beginning to appreciatemore and more the magnitude of the work done by BrotherFairbanks when he caused our chapter to be established. But to te

turn to our anniversary. To show our visiting fri ends the innerworkings of the chapterwe gave a regular programme. All were delightedwith the entertainment, as they emphatically stated during the informalspeechmaking which followed the light refreshment. By widely varying the programmes ourmeetings have been very interest ing and theattendancehas been all that could be desired. A short time ago a

Senior inaugurated a new customby inviting all of the chapter whowere on the Hill of a Saturday night to spend the even ing with him.

This cultivating of the soc ial side of our natures has resulted in a

firmer bond of brotherhood than we have ever known before.UN IVERSITY or PENNSYLVANIA.

commodious book- case with well filled shelves. Heavy curtains at

the windows diminished the rays of the noon- day sun, which , reflectedon soft rugs on the floor, gave a bright, cheerful appearance to theroom. On a table were writing utensils and periodicals, and also a

”appeared ina recent number of the Freeman’:

Diorama]. Extracts are given Twenty- four years is rathera long peri od to waitfor ahistoryof the Civil War that would be at once readable and accurate, that,whileaiming at perfect truthfulness and impartialityinrecording facts, would, at thesame time, benoted for certain qualities naturally inherent in the grandeur of thesubject. Wehave a right to expect fromthewriter who ventures on the authorship of a popularhistory of the great struggle, qualities that are rarely found in

popularauthors. He should be capableof planninghiswork on a scale of adequate

grandeur, and should at least aimat perfection in the execution. Simplicity ofnarrative, warmthof style, natural, and sometimes original reflec tions, philosophicappreciations of the causes that have preceded or produced events, skillful transitions and a power of bringing great actionsmorevividly before the imag inationbysucha restrained use of color as willnot conflict withhistoric truth, are some ofthequalities demanded in the author of sucha history. I t is rare enoughto findthem, and the work containing thembecomes at once a national possa sion. Thework before us ismarked byevery characteristic that wehave mentioned. Mr.

Johnson styles it A Short History of the War of Secession.

” Well, it is short .considering that there were two thousand fourhundred important engagementsfought during the great conflict. However, there are few readers who would careto be bewilderedwiththemultiplicity of details involved inan accurate account of

them, even if lifewere long enoughfor the purpose but what everyreaderwantsto know is the generalcourse of thewar, its orig in, and themotive forces precedingand concluding the struggle. This has been done by Mr. Johnson. There are

plenty ofmonographs on individual campaigns, battles, etc . , some interesting and

some decidedly uninterest ing . The reader, in searchof further information, caneasily find them. And, indeed, oneof the greatmeri ts of this publication is that itis constantly stimulating the desire for further information. Many readers of theromances ofWalterScott or VictorHugo knowhow often theyhave bear forced tostudysome particular period orhistori cal personage,heretofore vaguely known tothem, bythe compelling power theliteraryartisthasof investing a particularperiodormanwithinterest. Mr. Johnsonhas a good deal of this dramatic instinct and

literary skill, withthe result that peoplehaving some intelligence, imag ination and

capacity for enthusiasmwill rise fromthe perusal of this volumewitha desire toknow somethingmore of Sheridan andSherman, of Custerand Dahlgren, of Early,Hooker, Johnson, Lee, Lincoln, Rosecrans, Ben Butler, Stuart, and somany otherpicturesque figures on bothsides in the conflict . There are some names absent weshouldhaveexpected to find in this volume, andevena strict adherence to the planlaid down for himself byMr. Johnson is hardly suflicient to account for theiromission. In the first twenty- five pages the author passes in review the causes ofslavery, itsmodifications and development to a point that threatened the lifeof thenation.

should be read in the light of the experiment in collegiate instructionwhichisbeing tried at the Indiana University, of whichDr. Jordan is president . Dr.

Jordan's idea is that a college should provide boththe facilities for a general culmre and also for detailed study that while teaching the elements of several

subjects, it should give eachstudent a thoroughdrill in some one branch. Theschemehas been thoroughly worked out on paper, but time alone can tellhow it

results. I tmust be said, however, that ithas amply satisfied its advocates during

The Rev. Charles D. Morris, D.D Pastor of the First BaptistChurch of Gloucester, Mass. , died athis home, April 1 7th, aftera sickness of six and a half months. Dr. Morris was born in North Wales,June 6, 1 839. His parents moved to this country before he was a

yearold and settled inRadnor. 0. His father died when he was butsix years old, andhis motherwhen he was but twelve, leaving himtosufi

'

er great hardships inhis efforts to obtain a living and secure aneducation. He had been hopefully converted at the age of eleven,and united with the Presbyterian church at Radnor. As he became ayoungmanhis thoughts turned to the work of the ministry, to whichhis motherhad devotedhimfrom his birth. Hehad taken the firststep toward the Presbyterian ministry when he was led to examine thesubject of baptism, resulting inhis becoming a Baptist, and unitingwith the church of Urbana, O. ,

in the spring of 1 860. From thistime he studied, taught school and preached, as hehad opportunity,till 1 863, when the way opened forhimto go to Rochester, where hetook a special course in Greek metaphysics in the university foroneyear, and then the full course in theology, graduating in 1 867. Hisfirst pastorate was over the First church of Toledo, where he wasordained October, 1 867. This pastorate continued for fourteen and

a half years, when he became pastor inGloucester, inwhich relationhe died.

Dr. Morris was a man of singular purity and magnanimity of

character; a man of intellectual grasp and scholarly attainments ;but, above all, he was a most devou t Christian. Both inToledo andGloucester he laid broad and deep foundations, and made impressionsthat must be permanent blessings.

The funeral exercises, on Thursday, April 1 9th, were conductedby Rev. Dr. Marshall, of Worcester, who,

with other brethren, boreloving testimony to the worth of the departed pastor. The greataudience present and the deep feeling manifested showhow deeplythe whole city was moved byhis death.

THE REV. JAMES DUNCAN WILSON, D.D.

AMHERST, 58.

The Rev. James D. Wilson, D .D Pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church, NewYork City, died at his residence on West s7thstreet, after a long and painful illness, on the morning of May 14,

1 888.

Dr. Wilson was born April 3, 1 836, at Spring Mills, Pa. Hewasprepared for college at Academia, Pa. entered Amherst College at theage of eighteen, and was graduated with the class of

’

58. Soon afterward he entered Union Theological Seminary, where, in 1 863, hecompleted his theological studies. In the same year he assumedpastoral charge of the Spring street Presbyterian Church in New YorkCity. This charge he retained for six years, andhis labors weresuccessful.

The rapid growth of the city, and a general up- town movementwhich resulted, imperiled the ex istence of the church, and it wasinvolved in debt. By rallying its friends to its support and securingtheir close co- operation

, Dr. Wilson not only succeeded in saving thechurch, bu t was rewarded in witnessing large accessions to the memhership.

In 1 869, he accepted a call from the Central Presbyterian Church,of which he remained pastor tillhis death. His new congregationwas then occupying a temporary frame bu ilding on West sothstreet, into which they had moved after leaving the Broome streetedifice, pending the erection of a church building. A chapel was


erected on 56thstreet, where, for a few years, the congregationworshipped during the progress of the work on a church and chapelinWest 57thstreet. Before th is work was finished, there occurreda period of great financial depression, and the enterprise camenear being abandoned. The zeal, courage and determination of Dr.

Wilson did not failhim. Aided by a few devotedmen, he perseveredwith unwavering hope, and finally saw the completion of the work .

Long before his death the church was freed from debt, and firmlyestablished

,with a large membership and enjoying general prosperity.

His pastorate has been the longest of any of the clergymen nowconnected with the New York Presbytery save that of the Rev. Dr.

Howard Crosby.

Five years ago Dr. Wilson’

s illness began, but hemanfu lly stroveagainst it and continuedhis work when he was really unable to do so.

Last Septemberhis congregation voted hima vacation of six teenmonths, and he anticipated returnimto his pulpit inOctober nex t.Although under medical treatment since last Autumn, his physiciansdid not look for immediately serious results until a few days beforehisdeath. On the Sunday preceding the sad event

,he wrote these lines

to his congregation The pastor of the church requests the earnestprayers of the congregation to God forhis recovery.

”But before

twenty- hourshad elapsed hehad passed away.

Dr. Wilson was aTrustee ofAmherst College, a Director of UnionTheological Seminary and a member of the Chi Alpha Society of

clergymen .

The funeral services were held at the Central Presbyterian Churchon May 1 5th. The Amherst Alumni of New York elected a committee to attend the funeral, Delta Upsilon being represented byColonel Samuel J. Storrs,

The sweetness of his disposition, his courage and devotion in the work of

the Lord,hisheroic continuance in that work in spite ofhis constant and painful

CLARENCE GOODWIN SCUDDER.

RUTGERS,’

89.

Clarence Goodwin Scudderdied on Saturday afternoon, May 1 2th,from an injury received on the preceding day, while practicing in thegymnasium.

His final hours were quiet and free from intense suffering ;hiscourage and faith unfaltering to the last

,and when the end came, he

walked through the Valley of the Shadow, as hehad reached its en

trance, sustained by the loving guidance ofhis Saviour.Clarence Scudderwas born at Vellore, India, in the midst of the

mission field, where for thirty years his father, the Rev. Dr. J . D.

Scudder, has labored in the footsteps ofhis own father, the pioneermedicalmissionary to India, Dr. JohnScudder.When a mere child Clarence made one visit to America with his

parents, and in 1 883 he again crossed the ocean.

He had one year of school at Pine Plains, N. Y and anotheryear inChicago, and in the Fall of 1 885 entered Rutgers College in theClass of

’

89. Here he soon took his stand as one of the leaders inevery department of college life. His bright face,his impulsive cordiality

,his frankness andhis merry smile broughthiminstant friends

,

while his energy, his self- reliance andhis fine physical constitu tionfound recognition in almost every college organization. He threwhimself heart and soul into every enterprise which he undertook .

Nothing wasmore irksome tohimthan inaction.

In the customary escapades of Freshman days, as well as in themore definite activity of later years, Clarence Scudder always took aprominent part. He would not have been a Scudder if hehad notbeen an athlete, and as member of the college football team,

and in

the fall of 1 887 , as its captain, byhis tireless enthusiasm and powerfulframe, be contri butedmaterially to its success.

Buthismoral and intellectualworth was that for which Rutgersmen lovedhimmost. He was an excellent student— not the kind offellow to study formarks, bu t for love of self- improvement. I t was a

significant fact that he always stood best in thestudies that were hardesttomaster, andwas quite a particularfavorite with thoseprofessors whorequire themost work.

He was a very fine orator for a college boy— and ambitious and


painstaking in this line. The oration which procured his appointment to the Junior exhibition stage, was a particularly good one.He was a thorough Christian— always ready to say a word or as

sume a service forhis Master. Those who have heard his earnestutterances in religious gatherings at home, or as a delegate to otherinstitutions, will alwavs remember them. Very recently, with muchto holdhimto America, hehad decided to be a foreignmissionary.

We will pass over the details of the accident;his brave endurance;the last hours, while all who watched himhoped against hope; thesmile and the word he had forhis relatives and the friends that heloved;his last messages:“ Tell my sister that I died in the faith of

the Lord JesusChrist, andmyfather and mother that I love them.

I tmakes no difference to me whether I live or die,— and to his

cousin, who askedhimto try to get asleep,he spoke smilingly, “ Yes,

asleep in Jesus. Almost last of all he said, “ Tell Eighty- n ine to

meetme.

The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, May 1 5th. Therewas a short prayer at the house of his aunt, Mrs. Ludlow; then hewas taken to Kirkpatrick Chapel; Dr. Hart read the beautiful serviceof the Episcopal church, Drs. Mabon and Doolittle offered prayer;President Gates and ProfessorCooper said a few words of commemoration and of hope, speaking sadly yet submissively of the brightpromise of his young life, of his recent decision to go to the foreignfield, and of the oration on David Livingstone and onhis life of sacrifice, that hehad finished upon the last afternoon which ever faded intotwilight beforehis eyes.Sorrowfully the college followedhimtohis last resting- place beside

the monument of his grandfather, Dr. John Scudder. There was a

throng of others who accompanied him; friends from afar,and the

many in the town to whom he had endeared h imself— relatives and

the acquaintances of long years; andmost deeply stricken,his brotherand the sisterwho had been nearest and dearest to himof all on

earth. A few hymns of faith and consolation were sung, then werethe prayerand the benediction , and the last adieuhad been said — Tire

Inasmuchas it has pleased God to take away fromus, by sudden death,Clarence Goodwin Scudder,


Wemourn thathis college place is vacant, but we feel that in the ripening of

his lifehere, and inhisquick, brave passage to the fullness of the everlasting life,

he gave a new source of strengthto the college.

We shall rememberwithlove and admirationhis manlyvirtues. Withthefine growthOfhis bodily powershismind and charactergrew symmetrically. Hiswork in the class- room, the speechhehadwritten, but was never to be delivered,

shows thathewas in the right intellectual path, and that to fulfill a great promisehehad but to go straight on.

His soul- lifewas rich. He combined ina remarkable degree the best traits ofthe child andman. Along witha frank and open demeanorhe showed a gentle

courtesy. In active life amonghis fellowshewas very often leader, while to thoseto whombe trustedhis inner thought the proof came, onrareoccasions, that therewas always an under- current tohis life, still and deepand pure.

So wide is the scope Of Dr. Campbell’swork thathis title is inadequate.I t is apt to create an impression in the mind of a careless observerthat this is but another of those superficial books which a first- yearmedical student buys, and six months later is unable to sell. Thebook is scholarly, scientific, interesting and of great value.In the introduction, Dr. Campbell traces the astrologicaland myth

olog ical derivation of many medical terms in a brief and pleasantstyle, bringing tolight many interesting facts. On pages 4 and 5 we

read We all know what cretinismis, yet few are aware that cretinandcent-mwere originally the same word. The Aryan refugees ofthe Pyrenees were anciently called Chris/ads

,in French chretzens, or

Christians. Long residence in the dimvalleys with frequent intermarriages of blood relations in time developed a peculiar form of idiocy

v raws. 1 93

associated with enlargement of the thyroid gland. People afflictedwith this malady are still called Christians under the name ere/ins,while cretznimmeans, etymologically, Christianity.

“ Idiog ' alsohas a historicalorigin. The ancient Athenians were anation of politicians. Those who did not hold offi ce were designatedas idré raz

, private citizens,to distinguish them from the offi ce

holders. In time, amanwho was not a public servant andhad neverhadan opportunity to serve the State assuch, was looked upon as of veryinferiormental capacity, and finally 1

°

47s assumed a meaning amongthe Ancient Greeks quite similar to that which wenow assign to it.Chapter I I treats Of the historical sources of Medicine, and Dr.

Campbell discusses Sanskrit, Greek, Aryan, class ical and medievalLatin, Arabic, Hebrew and Persian, and Modern Language elementsof medical nomenclature in a style which

,though erudite

,is not

pedantic nordry. The onomatopoeial and metaphorical derivation Ofmedical words is next considered . The first cry of an infant on itsentrance into this world is via-ma

,and as its lamentations cease when

it is applied to itsmother’s bosom, our imag inative ancestors employedthe wordmamma as the name of the female breast thus we have theGreekminor and the Latinmama, etc. This same root,ma, is foundin the word formother in all the Indo-European languages; Sansk.

matri,Greek yrjrnp, Latin mater, French mere, German matter,

Russian mate, Anglo- Saxon moder, Icelandic modber, etc. V, p.

Ou p. 4 1 we read Charlatan comes through the French fromthe I talian ciarlatano, an inhabitant Of Cerreto. The people Of thistown were notorious for theirboastful language, and we find in I talianthe verb cz

’

arlare, meaning to brag.

An interesting fact is the following,from p. 45 Innightmarewe

still see the Old Norse demi- god M ara,who was said to strangle people

in theirsleep.

Some amusing reasons are given on page 53 why it is better towrite direc tions in English than to write them in Latin. Even thecommon expression ‘

pro re nata’ has been rendered ‘for the baby

just born.

’ ‘M aneat in lecto,’ ‘let the patient remain in bed,

’ hasbeen translated ‘

to be taken inmilk in the morning.

’

Physicians are extremely careless and immethodical in theirpronunciation Of the most ordinary terms in medicine. A student is


influenced to a great degree by first impressions. He readily acceptsand remembers, without dispute

,the name of a disease, or of a

remedy, or Of an operation, as he hears it come from the lips of atalented, scholarly and scientific professor. What, then, is his chagrin to find that he has habituated himself to wrong pronunciationsand false quantities ; to mongrel Latin and incorrect English ! Suchis the lot of allmedical students. They can no more avoid appropriating wrong pronunciations than children can help “

catchingepidemics.

Dr. Campbell gives concise and comprehensive rules for the pronunciation of all the medical Latin a student or practitioner uses.

Several pages are devoted to the correction of some Of the more common blunders in orthoepy. The majority Of the words in the list— tothe shame Of the profession be it said— were “

collected at medicalmeetings and in the class room.

Several chapters are given to a consideration of the Latin partso f speech and the several declensions of nouns; examples arepre

sented; extended vocabularies are furnished, as also exercises bothinLatin and in English, to be translated. In this part of thework theauthoroversteps the limits ofhis book as announced in the title, butmakes it doubly valuable thereby. Andwhen he adds a considerationof Prescription Writing, and an exhaustive examination of TheGreek Element in the Language of Medicine, and also a few pageson the ElementsDerived from the Modern Languages,

”his work iswell- rounded and complete, and deserves the highest praise.The book is well printed on heavy paper, and the typographical

errors noticed by the reviewerare few and unimportant;e. g . Pyrinees for Pyrenees, p. 4; Volupuk forVolapiik, p. 35; root

(am) for (root and), p. 39;“synechdoche for synecdoche, p. 39

bru it de pot file for bruit de pot fele, p. 289, etc.

Dr. Campbell’s work containsmuch that themajority of physicianswill confess they should know anddo not. I t contains much that isof value to every physician. Admirably fi tted to be used as a textbook, it is hoped that professors of progressive medical colleges will

immediately appreciate its value and urge it upon the attention Of

students.


Brief Institutes of General History, by E. Benjamin Andrews, D .D LL.D. ,

Brown,’

70, Profes sor of History in Brown University. Boston:Silver,Rogers 81 Co . , 1887 .

When profound scholarship puts the results of its researches into thehands ofthose incapable of performing that work, the ideal Of learning is reached. Every

one will concede that this ideal is realized in the work under present review .

ProfessorAndrews’ Institutes represent a vast amount of careful and studious

labor, the results of whichare given in a compact and prac tical formto those whowishto pursue the one study of universal interest

— history. The book is neitherinmethod nor inmatter one forgeneral readers. Its 800136 is confined to students

in the class- roomand in the study; but this was evidently the author’s intention.

The plan of the book is well conceived and well carried out . It presents theback -bone ofhistory(slightly to alter the author’s ownmetaphor), whichforms thebasis of andholds together the whole body The chapters and subdivisions are

the clearlymarked vertebra in the column. To drop figurative language, the tenchapters after the first, whichis prefatory, descri besuccinctly the stages of development whose names and significance are determined by those conspicuous events

whichmark the turning points in the world’s course. The division, while also

chronological, is essentially log ical.Carrying out the designannounced in the title, facts are briefly and generally

recounted;while for fullerdetails and current narrative the reader is referred to

Fisher’s Outlines of Universal History.

In its contents the Institutes follow themodern and approved conceptionofhistory,making it ahistory, not Ofmen, but of mankind. There are stillmanybooks whicharenomore than catalogues of events or Of great names. History isproperly, as ProfessorAndrewsmakes it, anaccount Of the evolution ofhumanityinall its spheres— political, social,moral and intellec tual.

The value of the book is largelyenhanced by thecopious illustrations and citations fromthe accepted authorities in all languages ; and by the completeandspecific lists of works of reference.

BurnhamBreaker,” by Homer Greene, Union, ’

76, author of “ The BlindBrother. New York:Thomas Y. Crowell Co . , 1887.

The successof BrotherGreene inwinning the first prizeof $1 ,500, ofi'

eredby theYantlr

’:Companion, stimulatedhimto tryhishand in earnest at novel writing .

Muchwas to be expected fromthewri ter of the prize story, The Blind Brother,”andwe are convinced that readers willnot be disappointed.

BurnhamBreaker ismore than twice as large as the author’s first production and a complete carefully developed plot is here attempted. The subject iskindred to that Of the prize story, as bothdealwithlife in the coal-mining districtsof western Pennsylvania. The author’shome is in that reg ion, so that the placesand the scenes aredescribed by onewho is thoroughly familiarwiththem.

The book is named fromthe coal breaker in Scranton, owned by one RobertBurnham. In this breaker thehero of the tale, a bright,hard-working lad, is in

rumrws. 1 97

troduced, engaged insome of the supplementarywork attached to coalmining .

Ralph, who soon tells the storyof a rough, vagabond life,has never up to thetimeknown the pleasures ofhome or even the name of father ormother. Heproves to be the sonof therichowner of themines, but was supposed tohaveperiahed ina railroad accident. The center of the story is the lawsuit instituted toestablishthe identity of RalphBurnham. The suit is started byanold knavewhohad found the boy in thewreck of the train, andwho, togetherwitha shrewd lawyu

'

, attempted to prove the ease, in order to get a reward fromMr. Burnham, or,as that gentlemandies in theearly part of thenarrative, fromtheestatewhichwillfall to the boy. Their schemes are checkmated by thehonesty of Ralph, who isdeceived by the storyof a shiftless idler, RhymingJoe. In theendRalph’s identityis proved without the law and all endshappily.

Thenarrative is told in an interesting way, and the rough, bu t good,homelycharacters, are skillfullydepicted. We feel justified inencouraging BrotherGreeneto tryagain.

Poems,” byRichard EdwinDay, Syracuse, ’

77. New York:Cassell&Co. , 1888.

Theneat little volume entitled Poems, byRichard Edwin Day, containsmany pieces worthyof special notice. TheWall of the Temple and TheSounds of the Temple are themost ambitious efi '

orts of the authorand arewell

written; but to ourmind the lighter poems aremore satisfactory.

The poem Niagara contains somefine linesRiver that runnest withtempestuous note,Wi thrioting eddies and tumultuous tide,

Andmaelstroms struggling in the chasm’s throat,A thousand tempests in thine onset ride.

Manyof the poems are short sketches of nature, and show the closeobservetionand the love for the open fields necessary fora poetic mind. MayMorn

ing ,” Dandelion, Daisies, The Diver, have strong lines and verses in

them. Inshort, the whole volume is full of well-written lines. I t is worthy of a

perusal and shows themarks of a well trained poeticmind acting in connection

witha love fornature.

Our Heredity fromGod,” Consisting of Lectures onEvolution, byEdward P.

Powell, D.D Hamilton, 53 . New York :D. Appleton8:Co. , 1887.

The book is divided into three parts, and these are subdivided in the formof

lectures. The first part contains eight lectures, the second part four lectures,and the third eight lectures. The author essays to traverse thewhole realmO f

evolution as it relates to man’s ori gin, condition and destiny.

The title of the book is deceptive. The God of the author isnot theGodof Revelation. Nature is the author’s God, whatever thatmaymean. Thebook opens witha great show of learning , and several chapters are filledwithabewildering array of scientific facts drawn frommany sources, withtheview of

proving thatman was evolved and not created. Theauthor undertakes, in the


utmost confidence, a stupendous task, flattershimself thathe possesses the key bywhichall themysteries of the universe canbe unlocked. But , according tohis ownconfession,he left his hearers at the conclusion of his lectures very hungry,and doubtless manywho read the book will confess to being hungry. We

ave a“

re arrangement of the long ago exploded theories of the universe and theindependent recuperative powers of Nature.

” The author’s panacea for all theills and all the aspirations of being is, “ Know thyhigher self. The goal of allambition and the consummation of all conceivable good is, evolve thyself intohigher self, reminding us of themanwho assayed to elevatehimself byhis sus

penders. Theauthor’s theory of Christ as the result of natural evolution, ratherthan the “ unspeakable g ifi of God,

”as the Apostle claims, is, to say the least,

unique, if not orig inal. Andhis interpretation of the miracles he ostensiblyperformed fi ts intohis conception of Christ as a natural rather than a preternaturalproduct . Bu t it destroys the integrity ofhis character as the Son of God, and

leaveshima designing adventurer, sincehe pretended to be whathewas not, andplayedwiththe credulity of the people. The Christ of the New Testament andthe Christ of the authorwould not know eachother if they should meet. Thebook, instead of being a solvent of these questions, whichthe author claims theBible does not and cannot answer,

“ evolves infinitelymore difi culties than itsolves. The same objections whichhe urges against the fiat of the Creator increating can be urged withunceasing force againsthis interpretation of evolution.

In repudiating the God of Revelationand substituting Nature,”he changes thelanguage, but not the facts. They remain the same in any case. Suchtheoriesand speculations as this book contains maybe ingenious and are interesting , bu t

they settlenothing nordo they convince the judgment or appease the conscienceor actualize rest to theweary. Theysecurenot that godlinesswithcontentmentwhichtheApostle claims is great gain.

NewYork:TheOuting Cc . , 1888.

This history of American A thletic sports fills a long - felt want, and no doubtwillbewell received by those interested in the subject. The cpenimpages of thefirst part contain a briefhistory of theNational Association of AmateurA thletics,together withthe rules adopted by that body and now recognized by the bestamateur clubs of the country, governing amateur athletics. This is followed bywarplete tables of athletic records of England and of Ameri ca. A f ter thesewehave avery interesting descri ptionof the growthof the principal athletic clubs ofthe country.

The second part of the volume is devoted to aquatic sports, and contains

brief descriptions of themost noted rowing clubs of America, together withtherecords established at theirraces.

Considering the wide field that thework covers. it is very free fromerrors.

The tables of recordsmay be fully relied upon. In short , we can recommend thebook to anyoneinterestedin sports as the best work we know of onthe subject .

The recent deathof Selina Dolaro, the famous burlesque actress, lends a

which fails to keep an unimpaired vitality by occasionalassimilationo fnew elements of strength, must meet a like fate. Not that DeltaUpsilon is failing in health, but in the inter- fratern ity race she is no tkeeping pace withher progressive rivals.Themain reasons why Delta Upsilon should at the present time

make strenuous efforts for further extension can be summed up in fourpoints:To increase the active and alumnimembership of the Fraternity; to have chapters in prominent or influential colleges ; to aug

ment alumni influence in large cities ; to compete favorably with theao- called conservative fraternities which are at present extending theirboundaries.A mere increase in numbers should not be the ultimate aimof any

fraternity . Indiscriminate addition of members is worse than no ex

tension at all. But colleges judiciously selected, with a well- knownhigh standard of students, canwithstand allobjections. Graduates willgo forth for further study, to enter into business or professional relations, and, after the mannerof college graduates, will scatter over theland. Wherever they go they will carry with them influence for DeltaUpsilon, andwill help “

to spread her name and fame. ” I t is truethat this is done now by the graduates of our twenty- five chapters, bu tit will be so in a broader andmoregeneralmanner themore wewiselyincrease ourroll. AnAmerican statesman once wrote No politicalparty can have toomuch influence ; the more intelligent advocates ithas, the more profound will be its influence, the more potent will beits sway.” The same argument holds good for a college fraternity .

Within a few weeks, Alpha Delta Phihas entered Johns HopkinsUniversity Delta (403 3707:should have a chapter of f olms HopkinsThere aremany graduates of Delta Upsilon pursu ing post- graduatecourses there who are unanimous in the desire to have a chapterof thefraternity established in this, one of the first of American universities.The undergraduate department is strong in numbers and scholarshipandhas a high class of students. The ground has been but littleworked, the only fraternities now represented being Beta Theta Pi,Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Delta Phi and Delta Phi. There are strongindications that Theta Delta Chi and Delta Tau Delta will have en

tered the college before this appears in print.Similar views are held by Delta U.

’

s now in Dartmou th, Yale and

Princeton. I t frequently happens that, for various reasons, students

TIMELY TOPICS. 305

are obliged to leave a college where they have formed social andfraternal ties, and to enter some other institution of learning. If thereexists in the latter no chapter of their own fraternity, they arepractically debarred from fraternity life for the remainderof their collegecourse; for they can join no other fraternity, and being deprived of theinfluence of theirown society, naturally lose somewhat of their loveand enthusiasm for it. I t would not be an over- easy task to enter thethree colleges named, but, on the other hand, it would be of comparatively little diffi culty to absorb some of the local societies whichexist in them. Princeton would be another fertile place for DeltaUpsilon. The facilities which Yale presents for a good four- yearsociety can be seen in the progress which it is claimed Alpha DeltaPhihasmade within a year. Dartmouth needs just such a fraternityas Delta Upsilon to give stability to its student life and to round out a

complete circle of typical fraternities.Other excellent institutions, too , suggest themselves as good places

for chapters of Delta U. Trinity College, Ohio Wesleyan, Universityof Minnesota (where we have several men in the faculty), and otherwestern colleges present good opportunities for the establishment ofchapters of the Fraternity. The four colleges upon which special stresshas been laid should be first considered by the Fratern ity, and othersmight follow.

InNewYork, Chicago and Boston alumni assoc iations have beenformed through the assembling of Delta U.

’

s. But inNew York, forinstance, therearenot enough members tomake the club independent.The difiiculty lies in the fact thatmost of themembersof the Fraternityliving in the metropolis are alumni of some years’ standing, who havelost some of theirold enthusiasm, orwho have other club connectionswhich they would not sever. The younger members of the Fraternity, as a rule, join the club as soon as they reach the city. There isa constant stream of newly graduated students pouring into the largercities, and it is these men who form the back- bone of the Fraternityclub. It stands to reason that the greater the number of chapters, thegreaterwill be the annual influx of new men, the more prosperouswill be the alumni organization. I t is essential that we have morealumni in the larger cities; the increase can only come by an increasein the number of chapters.

ao6 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

Sectionalismshould play no part in the discussion for the admission of new chapters. The Eastern chapters should remember that

Westward the course of empire takes its way,”that in the new growth and the new c ivilization of the West, Delta U.

should play an important part. TheWestern chapters should considerthat influence in the East is as essential as it is in theWest, and shouldnot contend against Eastern chapters if the Fraternity does not see fi tto put chapters in the West at the same time.

Father Bross once said: A healthy fraternity growthis to beencouraged. I hope to seeDeltaUpsilon in every good college in theland, that one and allmay sharehersorrows andherjoys, may take apride inher history, andmayzealously work forher future greatness.

CHAPTER CORRESPONDENCE.

In many ways it is unfortunate that the clause of the Constitutionproviding forregular inter- chapter correspondencehas fallen into suchcomplete desuetude. Yet the resulting disadvantages need not begreat may, indeed, find compensation in other things if there resultsa greater care in and attention to the Chapter Correspondence of theQUARTERLY.

The great dangerof chapter life is the constant tendency to minifyand forget the true importance of the Fraternity as a whole, and to

ignore the strength and significance of the relation between chapterand Fraternity. A great many men know the Fraternity only throughtheir chapter

,and the one tends,more or less, to become a shadow

behind the actuality of the other. Occasionally we meet men whoseinterest inmembers outside their chapter is scarcely greater than itwould have beenhad the connection been only a political one. Thisevil, it is true, is not very marked, but its importance lies in the factthat the tendencies which produce it are constant ones.

And so we recogn ize the great value of all that binds themanimmediately to his Fraternity. The value of the conventions is inthis closer feeling which it produces and strengthens, and the QUARTERLY itself works mainly to that end. So, also, the inter- fraternitycorrespondence, if conducted with real interest and regularly main

Up went the large white tent, as of yore, not on Barker's Point,but on a delightful little island which was only a short distance fromthe Point and abou t a third of a mile from the hotels on the mainland.

Oh l she is occupying the one camp stool, enjoying herself asmuchas any one, and calling hands up now and then, to see ifweare all there.The American Canoe Association had their camp on Long Island

A ladies’ canoe campwas on the other end of this island, and it was quite a prominent featureof the meet.” We enjoyed a good deal of sport in racing on the wayhome, as the waterwas calm.

The Locust GroveHouse, where we took ourmeals, opened upthe season ”with a hop, and foremost among the decorations was .

on deck and gave three cheers forDelta U.


The long- looked - for day of the great steam yacht race arrived atlast. We rowed or paddled out into the middle of the lake in ordert o get a closerview of the yachts as they flew past in their desperates truggle. But the yachts were only a part of the brilliant spectacle,for there were steamboats here and there filled with excursionists fromSaratoga and other points. There were countless private yachts,canoes and boats filled with gay spectators in bright summer cos

The event of the season was the grand ball at the Marion House,fourmiles below us. We chartered a steam yacht, gaily decorated itand invited our particular feminine friends to accompany us. Abou tnine o’

clock we steamed up to the dock in front of the Marion, with abig transparency, bearing the Delta U. monogram in black and wh ite,beaming on the bow of our boat, firing rockets, Roman candles and

bombs. We disembarked, were warmly welcomed by friends on the«dock and then entered fully into the gaieties of the occasion .

On the next evening wewent to the garden party at the MohicanHouse, to which each of ushad received a personal invitation. Thefi ne lawns were handsomely decorated with lanterns, boats and oars,.spinning wheels andmany other pretty things, while fireworks and col-ored lights were constantly adding their lustre to the surroundings.

the happy dancers in their brilliant costumes, with Luna and

I t would not do to omit thehopat the Bolton, orourownGerman,where Jack danced so n icely with the rag baby.We did not spend all of our time in socialing by anymeans.

We had tennis, swimming and shooting matches, base - ball games,

straw rides and coaching parties; wewere at the dock for almost everyboat, to welcome anynew- comer orbid some one a sad adieu, andwesang and told stories around our camp - fire.

ALUMNI ADDRESSES.

To MeEditor of the Qu antum,

DRAR BROTHRRThe troubles and trials that ensue every five years when the Quin

guennr'

al is to be published point to the need of some means of keeping the addresses of alumni more nearly upto date. The QUARTRRLr,despite its manifest superiority to other fraternity organs in the qualityand quantity of its alumni notes, does not accomplish this, for it isnever a certainty that John Smith's name will be mentioned oncein any issue during the five years. Yet it is upon the QUARTRRLrthat this burden of keeping note of the alumni's whereabouts isthrown. Perhaps the most natural method of meeting this question

would be to publish yearly at the end of one issue of the Quan t um,

say the August number, a complete geographical index to thealua With it could be incorporated an alphabetical list of thealumni, each with proper reference to the QUARTRRLrRs of the yearinwhich is information concerning him. The labor of preparingthese lists would not be extreme, and the saving in time and moneywhen the compilation of the Quz

nouennz’

al was at hand, would morethan compensate for that. The advantages that such regular publicat ion would bring to all members of the Fraternity are very plain, andneed no elucidation.

CONVENTION APPORTIONMENT.

To tireEdi/or y theQUARTRRLv,DRAR BROTHER

Is it not about time that some New England chapterbe allowedto entertain the Fraternity Convention ? I t is already nearly eightyears since the last convention was held in New England, that at

Brown in 1881 , and it will have been ten before another canbe heldthere. When the number and character of these chapters are con

sidered, this omission seems unjust. The Fraternity'

s method of dec iding places for the holding of conventions is, after all

, of the haphazard order, and produces many inconsistencies. Consider howthese annual visits have been divided since 1861 , when first theybecame an established thing. Roe/tester has had four conventions ;Union, its elder by fourteen years, has had only one. Syracusehashad none, but M ohegan, three years younger, has had one. Marc

'

ellahashad two, just as many as Amber-sf,How l/on orAdelbert, all

twenty- three years older. The other conventions were distributed afollows:Colby, one ;Mao'dlebury,

two Rutg ers, three Brown, two ;

Madison, three ;New York, one ; Cornell, one. The unfairness of

this division is too apparent, and the next convention might withprofi t consider the adoption of some simple and elastic methodwhereby the choice might be governed more by justice and less byaccident. Let us havea convention in NewEngland before long.

THE TUFTS CHAPTER AND PHI DELTA THETA.

To tireEditor (y tileQUARTERLY,DEAR BROTHER

My attentionhas just been called for the first time to an editorialin the june, 1 887 , number of the Scroll of Phi Delta Theta, thatcontains something of interest both to the Delta Upsilon Fraternityand the I ltf ts Chapter. This editorial takes issue with my account ofthe Delta Upsilonmovement at Tufts, published in the january, 1 887 ,QUARTERLY, andmakes sundry uncomplimentary statements that needvigorous correction and refutal, lest failure to notice them may leadthe Scroll and the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity into further ignorantmistakes, and thereby injure the good repu tation of our Fraternity andthe Tufls Chapter. The vital part of the Scroll editorial reads as

follows“ The idea given inthe account is that Phi Delta Thetawas thrown

overboard, so to speak, whereas that was not at all the case. Un

doubtedly the candidates for fraternity membership definitely decidedto give no encouragement to the Phi Delta Theta scheme, bu t tomake theirown choice of a society,

’

but it is a significant fact thatnot untzl tirewould-oepetitioners to PM DeltaHeld knew positively Illa!tbey couldnot ootaz

'

n a charter f romthatf ratermbr(these are the writer’sitalics), did they definitely decide to give no encouragement to thePhi Delta Theta scheme. ’ When the then President of our Alphaprovince (which includes the State of Massachuse tts) learned thatsteps were being taken to effect the organization of a chapter at Tufts,he promptly allowed it to be understood that he could not favorsucha project. With opposition from that ofi cial vanished all hopes ofthe applicants gaining admittance to Phi Delta Theta. This was earlyin january. Not untilMay soth, more thanf our monthaf ter (againthese arehis italics), such was known to be the case, was it definitelydecided to give no encouragement to the Phi Delta Theta scheme. ’

As to whether our then President of Alpha province acted wisely or

whetherhis coursehad the endorsement orexpressed the animus of thefraternity, are questions entirely irrelevant. The fact remains

,and we

possess the correspondence to prove it. ”

In the first place, let me say, the writerof this editorial beginshisattempted criticism with a bad premise. The idea is not given in my

existed. The men were wellagreed innotwishing tojoin the fraternity,but forreasons of policy gave no definite decision in the matter untilafterMay s7 th, the day of the important college meeting of whichIspoke inmy account.One thing moremay be said. Of the final list of petitioners to

Delta Upsilon, ten only, or barely half, were ever even approached byMr. T. The rest were secured later, and the Delta U. Chapteras thusconstituted was a very difl'erent one from that which would have likedto enter Phi Delta Theta, admitting, for argument’s sake, that theScroll

’

s story was correct.The hint made by the Scroll as to the existence of correspondence

to prove its statements will hardly frighten anybody. Whetheranyill- advised Tuftsman, whether subsequently a Delta U. man or not

,

ever, for curiosity orany other reason, had any communication withthe President of Alpha province or other high ofiicial, is unknown to

me. But I canassertwith positiveness that not one of themen havingprominenceorauthority among the Delta U. petitioners ever thoughtoracted in a way to further the chances of Phi Delta Theta at Tufts.Judging from the Scroll's story and my personal knowledge of the circumstances, Mr. T. must have done much solely onhis ownresponsibility. If he added to his mistakes that of representing as wouldbe

petitioners men whohad no idea of such a thing, his fraternity mustlook to himfor satisfaction. I t may be that some other body of

Tufts men was interested in this scheme early in the year;but if so, thefacthas not been publicly made known, and naturally would not be,since their hopes were cruelly crushed.

The f it/ ts Chapter of Delta Upsilon has, then, an honorableexcuse for being. I t entered the college at a time when party spiritran high and the name fraternity was there a by

-word and an

offense. If that state of thingshas passed away and the chapterhasassumedher legitimate and respected standing in college, it is not tobe thought ithas happened in spite of some doubtful points aboutherancestry. NeitherPhi Delta Theta norany other fraternityhas cause

to complain of ill treatment or charge insincerity and deceit upon thechapter founders. All of these will gladly speak forher, andcertainlyto none is the opportunity to vindicatehermorewelcome than to

The whole Literary department of Ancnora for February isfilled by “ The Story of Aurora Leigh,

” done in prose with manyquotations from Mrs. Browning’s book. I cannot say, fair contributor, with Romney, “ I have read your book I ean say simply :I have counted the pages of this “

story, and finding them to befourteen in number, I have decided to pass on.

The best contribution in the April Ancltora is an article entitledAreWomen of Genius Companionable To be companion

able one must be interesting,”is the opening sentence, and the para

graph continuesTo be interesting onemust be some one thing if aman, some fi fty things if a

woman. Youngmen are less interesting as a general rule thanmen in the primeof life, sometimesbecause theyhave a smaller knowledge of human affairs, sometimes because they linger under the delusion that they are wiser than they are. A

young woman, on the otherhand, is almost invariably found to bemore interesting thanhermother. But as a youngman bendsallhis energies tohis business orprofession,hehas one topic at least uponwhichhe can talk withenthusiasm, andbeing out in theworldhe soonhas its problems athis tongue's end. A woman,however, unless shemakes a distinct effort to avoid it, loses her power of beinginteresting little by little, being occupied day after day withhousehold dudes,whichfurnishherno topics of conversation, and the charmof youthgoeswiththeyears.

Furtheron we read

Of all things to beavoided by a g irlwhohas an ambition to be a socialsuccess is giving aman an idea that she knowsmore thanbe. He demands that shebe frank, joyous, unselfishand amiable, that shehave freedomofmanner andmodesty of behavior, that she be agreeable, fascinating , witty— in short, she musthave variety but there is one thing at whichhe draws the line shemust not bewiser thanhe.

Not onlyare women of genius more likely to be companionable than theordinarywomanof theday, but they seemin a certain sense to be forerunners of

thewoman of the future, who, if not a genius, will still be a creature of as higharank, bearingher learningmodestly, possessing charmof manner, unselfishinterest inothers, nobility of character, andwho, if not beautiful in the strictest sense,has thepower ofmakingherself thought so.

s extravagances and absurdities in dress arenotspared. But, in order to be just, the writer interpolates this paragraph

Justhere I want to say, let not the gentlemen suppose that womenonly

have worn absurd clothes. On the contrary! Who wore the garments tiedwitha thousand strings, so troublesome to adjust that thewearer loathed thehour toget up and do uphis points? Who wore the cap w iththe long roll, falling to theground and dangling inhis eyes? Who afiixed bran padding tohiships to stufl

In the Exchange Department the QUARTERLY is thus noticedIf Delta Upsilonwould but lay aside that holier- than- thou airwhichis born

the old saying of “ killing two birds with one stone by bringing tolife two chapters at one birth. The babies’ homes are in BostonUniversity andTuftsCollege. Mr. President Trautwein, of the Northern Division of Delta Tau Delta, in itiated elevenmen into the Bostonchapterand seven into the Tufts chapter. The latter chapterhas a

strong theological cast— four of the seven members belonging to theDivinity School. Delta Tau Delta, we believe, enjoys the distinctionof being the first fraternity to give birth to twins.Kappa Alpha (northern)has enteredYale asa juniorsociety. This

is a distinct departure from the conservative policy of that fraternity,whichhas hitherto declined to become secondary to a senior society,

which will absorb the loyalty of its members and make its initiationsdesirable, chiefly, as a step toward Skull and Bones and Scroll andKey. Moreover, Delta Kappa Epsilon and Psi Upsilon have theadvantage at Yale of large and distinguished bodies of alumni, andKappa Alpha will be obliged, for a time at least, to get along as wellas possible with the third choice of men. One circumstance which issaid to have led Kappa Alpha to take this step is the decision of DeltaKappa Epsilon and Psi Upsilon to limit theirmembership in eachc lass to twenty- five and thirty respectively. The limit of KappaAlpha’s membership probably willbe twenty. — Cbz

Quarterly .

Greek- letter fraternities are among the chief and most interestingfeatures of American college life. The benefi ts they confer and theassociations they inspire are cordially appreciated by theiractive memhership, and are among the most cherishedmemories of theirgraduatemembership. The issue concerning their propriety and usefulness,which was long an open one, and engaged the attention of both students and instructors, seems to be definitely closed in their favor.They are generally esteemed as stimulating intellectual progress, asc ultivating the social feelings and graces, and as conforming to theb est moral standing. Their influence for good is recognized, andtheir secret rites and ceremonies

,their grips and pass- words, are

known to be of the most innocent character. But one

o f the prominent colleges prohibits the ex istence of these fraternitiesand its prohibition is rather for the purpose of sustaining, in their integrity, two literary societies of a semi- secret order, than to inhibit thefraternities as a matter of principle. The Greek- letter societiesmay,t herefore, be regarded as permanent college institutions. Most of themalready have illustrious histories, some being more than sixty yearsold, and all having an attached and distingu ished membership.

was established in 1832, atHamilton College, and now has chaptersat nineteen of the most famous colleges, among which areHarvard,Yale, Columbia, Amherst and the University of Michigan. Amongthe prominent members of this fraternity are President Gilman, of

JohnsHopkins; President Dwight, of Yale ; President Elliott, of

in the colleges expensive andsubstantial lodges that the influenceofthe fraternities was approved by college faculties, and that admissionto theirmembership was striven for by the students of the highestcharacterandability. These considerations certainly gave assurance ofthe permanency of college fraternities as an institution andwarrantedthe belief that local clubs of fraternity alumni would not langu ish forlack of support andinterest.

The success of the clubshas already shown the wisdom and judgment of theirfounders, and justified the faith which was placed in theires tablishment. They are an active part of the club life of themetropolis ; are recognized as such, and have come to stay. All are

well housed and centrally situated, their buildings are provided withevery fac ility of themodern club, and are comfortably, and in someinstances elegantly, furnished. All the great colleges, all parts of thecountry, all the professions and all ages, from the graduate who hasjust receivedhis sheepskin to the silver- haired founders of the fraternity, are represented in them .

Although the alumni of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity in this city .

havehad an organized association since 1 865 , it was not until littlemore than a year ago that the club which bears the name of thesociety it represents was established. In December, 1887 , the NewYork Delta Upsilon Club was organized and incorporated under thelaws of the State of New York. The club was formed by a number ofthe most active alumni in the city and its vicinity, for the purpose of

promoting socialintercourse among itsmembers and establishing closerrelations between alumni and undergraduates. The club leased thehandsome brown stone house No. 8 East 47thstreet, and soon transformed it into a most attractive and comfortable home, a secludedplace where the alumni of the several chapters of the fraternitymaymeet socially, andwhere anymember of the fraternity who visits thecitymay meet friends and obtain accommodations during his stay.

The meetings of the club are of a social and literary character, and

enable all itsmembers to share equally in the spirit of Delta Upsilon.Every room in the house is used. In the basement are the café

and dining- room ; on the first floor are the club, reception and bil

liard rooms on the second, the lodge—rooms of the Columbia Collegeand the University of New York chapters of the fraternity, and on the

Lisa’s Tarunrns. 229

third and fourth, the rooms of theExecutive Council and the Secretary of the fraternity, and lodging-rooms for resident members of theclub.

The omcers of the club are as follows:SamuelB. Duryea, President ; Charles D. Baker, First Vice- President ; Don AlonzoHulett,Second Vice- President ; John Q. Mitchell, Secretary, and FrederickM.

LIFE’S TRIUMPHS.

Whilemusing o’

er the contents of a bookOne winter’s day,

’mid bleak and stormy hours,My wand ring thoughts went back to summermonths,Of bright, warm days and quickly ending showers.

When through the pathless wood I roamedTo reach some mountain ’s barren crest,

And, passing through the thick, surrounding cloud,Beheld the glory of the radiant West.

The sun, though sinking far from sight,Had power to part the cloud banks, mid the gloamingGreat chasms seemed to open out to view,

Whose pine- clad depths re- echoed their harsh moaning.

Even thus, when fraught with danger, toil and trouble,Maywe at last transcend allwild commotion,

And, mounting upward, cast a joyful glanceBackward onwaves of life’s tempestuous ocean.

I t is one of the greatest privileges and duties of every recent chapterof Delta Upsilon to see that the story of its founding and progress iscarefully written and preserved. In order to do this, something moreis necessary than a mere arranging of letters and papers in theirchronological orderand binding them together with paper fasteners.Steps should be taken to insure beyond doubt that these records shallbe kept for all time. Let us presuppose that the correspondence,accounts of meetings, etc. ,

have been properly arranged by the manof allmen best suited for the work, and made a unity by pithy runningcomments. The problem now is to preserve this story. A simpleand inexpensive way is to have the whole copied in manifold on a

typewriter. I f more than two copies aremade, at least one should bedeposited with the Executive Council, another with the permanentchapter Secretary, Trustee or a prominent alumnus, while the restwould naturally come under the ears of the chapterSecretary. Whenthis is done the chances are few that the records will ever be lost.Inmaking up these historical accounts, however, care must be takennot to make them full of sugges tions rather than facts. Everythingknown thathas a bearing on the subject should be put down in blackand white. Every charter memberof the chapterought to be calledupon to‘ givehis version ofhow the chapter was started, for it is invain to hope that any oneman can recall all the valuable details.

The neglect of just such simple matters in the case of some olderchaptershas borne its legitimate fruits in making the history of thechapters incomplete and inexact, and the younger chapters shouldtake warning in season.

During the last two years many changes have taken place in theeditorial boards of the Greek - letter magazines, and now the controlof nearly all of themhas passed into the hands of alumni members.

Thishas produced a great improvement in character, contents and

appearance.


gradual but steady increase in cost of publishing as it approachesmoreand more nearly to the ideal of a fraternity magazine, gives hope of

only this solution. I t is safe to say, too, that few alumni who wou ldtake the QUARTERLY at would begrudge the payment of fi ftycents more a year. The result of such a change would be the additionof $300 ormore to the receipts during the year. Thiswillbe sumcientto guard against any deficit, aid in promptly issuing the numbers and

also allow a branching out into new fields. The practice of illustrat

ing issues with engravings of chapter houses, noted alumni, objects of

interest, etc deserves continuation. Our M adison brethren, whosechapter- house was so inadequately pictured in Mr. Porter’s recentarticle in the CM U ,

would be glad to have justice done their finebuilding. The samemay be said of the other chapters that now havehomes of theirown. A fi tting subject forillustration at this time wouldbe the Delta U. members of President Harrison’s Cabinet. These andother improvements that will easily suggest themselves, would do muchto make the Qumran“ even more creditable to the fratemity than itis to- day. We think the alumni would agree that such additional attractions would fully make up foran increase in price, and desire tohear from them on the subject.

Under News I tems is a communication recently received fromtheHon. Bartlett Tripp, Cow,

’

61, Chief justice of Dakota. The

letter is so full of warm, genuine fraternity spirit thatwe take pleasure inpublishing it entire. I t shows that the boys of a generation ago wereas active and true fraternity men as can be found to- day, and that wheninterest is sufi ciently aroused to cause aman to work heartily forhisfraternity, neither lapse of time nor business cares will weaken hisallegiance.

Don’t forget the Delta U. Camp at Bolton, on Lake George, thissummer. You can’t find a more attractive and altogethersatisfactoryplace to spend part of your vacation.

We are glad to see that Psi Upsilonhas followed our lead inestablishing a chapterat theUniversity of Pennsylvania. I t is a fine insti

tution and a good place fora chapter.

which was received by the convention with a laugh. The Editorenjoyed the thrust with a peculiarsatisfaction

There is a gratifying amount of activity at present in the Fraternity, and it is neither confined to one section nor one subject.Union, Rochester, Rutgers, Cornell and Northeastern are workingstrenuously for chapter houses. Harvardhas formed a graduateassociation; the New York and Tuf ts chapters are being incorporated;

have recenly held receptions and annual banquets. Syracuse is get

ting ready fora grand convention this fall, and all the chapters arepreparing forathletic meets, prize contests and the gaieties of commencement week.

I t is a pleasure to look over the list of last year’s initiates. Thereare two hundred of them, an average of eight to a chapter. No

better evidence of the prosperity and healthof the Fraternity canbe

Mr DRAR SrR,— The February number of the Delta Upsilon QUARrsRLvhas just been received, and I amgreatly pleased with it, both inits mechanical execution and the character and management of itscontents. From it I gathered much information regarding old friendsof whom I have not heard inmany years.

I took great interest in the society when in college ; I electioneeredFreshmen, enlisted in its campaigns, gloried in its victories, and

mourned at its defeats. And while contact with the world has wornoff much of the clannishness that distinguishes the societyman amongthe undergraduates, I still feel a deep interest in thesuccess of an institutionwhich gave me so much of pleasure and towhich I was somuchattached in early life.

I was one of those who had a voice in adopting the present pin or

badge and motto. Before that wewere called by the non - euphoniousname of Oudens,

”and the badge was a very clumsy block-

pin withthe motto Ouden Adelon.

”

Continue to send me the current numbers of your excellent magazine, and feel at liberty at all times to draw upon me for any favorsI may be able to render you in the good work in which you are

engaged.

Yourmemoranda and personal mention of society men and othercollegiate friends are especially interesting to their former associateswho have lost trace of them in the multitude of life's hurrying and

changing events. I remain ever, yours fratemally,BartramTarps.

Is not all this Democratic talk about the elevation of AttorneyGeneralMiller to the Supreme Court in bad taste ? In the first place,it is entirely in advance of any indication whatever on the part ofPresident Harrison that he intends to appoint Mr. Miller;and, in thesecond place, should he decide to make the appointment, will notthese same Democratic and mugwump organs find it di ffi cult to support the position that the appointment of Mr. M iller is not a wiserandmore fi tting one than either that of Lamar orFuller?Asamatterof fact, Mr. Miller is to- day a better lawyer by experi

ence and training than either LamarorFuller. Hehas been fortwenty years the active working partner of the great Republican law

firmof Indiana—Harrison Miller. The fact that a man is not

widely knownhas nothing whatever to do withhis legal attainments.

How does he stand inhis profession ? is the question. Ex- SenatorMcDonald says that Mr. Miller is a thoroughly equipped lawyer, capable of filling with credit the important oflice he now holds. Mr.

McDonald, who foryearshas been interested in important cases withMr. Miller, ought to know his qualifications. The selec tion, therefore, of Mr. Miller, will not, if made, strain propriety to the last stretch.The Presshas no idea whetherthe President intends to appoint Mr.

Miller or not; but it does contend that if he should decide to elevatethis able and thoroughly equ ipped lawyer to the Supreme Bench, itwill be a better appointment than either of the two Supreme CourtJudges selected by GroverCleveland.

The only thing urged against Mr. Miller is the fact that he wasGeneralHarrison 's active working partner. We have yet to hear of

any person competent to judge who is able to say that Mr. M iller isnot as well qualified for a place on the Supreme Bench as eitherof Mr. Cleveland 's appointments, and, for that matter, as well qualifiedas most lawyers who have beenappointed to the highest judicial ofi ce.

Great reputations have, as a rule, been made after appointment, as inthe case of JusticesWaite, Strong, Bradley and others, and not before.— New York Press.

rciency of thecollege in almost alldepartments is considerably greater than it was in 1872. Hissuccessorhasnot been appointed, and while several nameshave been mentioned,yet there is at present nohint as to who willreceive thehonor.

During thewintermuchinterest wasmanifested in baseball. A subscriptionabout twice as large as usual was easily raised, and wewere going tohave a nine

withwhichwehoped to capture the pennant fromthe champions of the world.

OnApril roththe first game was played, and at the close of the seventhinningDartmouthhad scored thirty- two runs to Brown’s three. On the 15ththeWorcester League teambeat us fifteen to nothing . The nex t game it was consideredbest to forfeit. The record was broken on the a4th, when the nine, “ dated by anew pitcher, defeated one of the State League teams. However, the large sub

scriptiondid accomplishmuchgood, fornow wehave one of the best ball fields ofany college in the country. The back campushas been graded, fenced in, a bankcut away, a new grand-stand about to be erected, and when the teambegins toplay ballwehope to be ready to receivewithopen arms all corners. The fieldhasnot yet gotten suffi cientlyhard to be used, but soon it is hoped it will be in goodcondition. The spring athletic events come off now in a couple of weeks. More

interest is taken in general athletics than for several yearspast, and there appearsto be considerable goodmaterial among the students.

On the Friday evenings of February and Marchthere were delivered a series

of lectures,historical and economic, bydifl'

erent speakers. TheHon. SethLow,

of Brooklyn, N. Y. , began the course, and the lectures were interesting , and, it ishoped, profi table. They were arranged by Professor Jameson, our new historyprofessor, andwere of some interest as being a departure fromthe precedent, forthis was the first course of suchlectures that has been deliveredhere. It ishopedthat similar arrangementsmaybemade in succeeding years.

In February our Glee and Banjo Clubsmade the first tourwhichhas beenmade inrecent years. I t is gratifying to know that a small amount remained over

expenses. I t ishoped that this is but the beg inning of regularannual trips by our

musical organizations, and that thus the name of the Universitymay bemadebetter known insomeNewEngland cities, and aswell in the immediatevicinityof

Friday, February sad, theBrown Chapterof Phi Delta Theta began its activeexistence. Therewere nineteenmembers initiated. Now there are ten fraternitiesrepresentedhere, withabout ahundred and ninety~fivemembers out of a college

roll of twohundred and seventy.

SinceChristmas twomembers of the Senior classhave found the attractions ofHymen irresistible and have been tied by the nuptial knot. Evidently theClass of ’89 wished to be remarkable for something , and was not very particularwhat the something was.

The chapter’s lifehas been particularlyflourishing . March1sthwe initiateda Junior, James G. McMurry. of Union City, Tenn. , and therebymade a valuable

addition to our numbers. We are planning a public to be.

appointments to writeforCommencement . Brother Martin, ’89, was winnerof thechess tournament, andhence is championof the college. At theelectionof editorsof theBmonianheld last week, Brother Ferris, ’

g t , took the place left vaeant byBrotherMartin. Brother Ferris was awarded the prizeofl'ered by that publicationfor the best poetry contributed during the year.

When the list of prize takers andhonormen ismade out wehope tomake ourusual good showing . At present, internally, the chapter rs in a more flourishingcondition than ithas been for several years, and we think that the outside world,

theprofessors included,must recognize the superiormerit of ourmembers.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY .

At the beginning of the last termof the college year 1888 the CornellChapter of Delta Upsilonfindsherself in a prosperous condition, witha total active

348 new s vrsmon gunman .

The announcement, during last term, of last year’shonors, gave Delta U . thefirst twomen in ’

9 t , and now wehave good hopes of the third place. Last termoccurred an important event inourfraternitycircles— AlphaDigamma, a local society, became ex tinct . It was the second fraternity foundedhere, being organized

in t859, and on its rolls are to be found the names of some of themost eminentalumni of the college. Ithad seen some very prosperous times, and during themhadfoundeda scholarship. But of late years they failed to maintain ahighanduniformstandard of morality, and also dwindled innumbers until continuancewasimpossible, revivalhopeless, and deaththe only alternative. None of theirmenhave as yet joined other fraternities.

In general, it waswithsatisfaction that we closed last term. But it was withsadhearts that we assembled in ourdear oldhall at the opening of this term, for

one of our counselors was gone. Last year the college lost its two oldest profes

sorswithin fourmonths of eachother, andwewerenot yet accustomed to our loss

when, during last vacation, we were surprised and shocked by thedeathof ourbrother and belovedProfessor, OscarH . Mitchell, ’

75 , whoheld the chair ofmathematics and log ic. He alwaysmaintained an ac tive interest in the welfare of ourchapter, g ivingmost valuable counsel, and was a great favoritewiththe students.This is one of the greatest losses ourchapter and the Delta Upd on Fraternityhasever sustained. Withallhis learning ,hisquiet, unassumingmanner,his generosity,modesty andhighChristian exampleweremost conspicuous and admirable.


The Syracuse Chapter is able to report a ratherhappier andmore encourag

ing state of afl'

airs thanwas the case when our last chapter correspondence wasforwarded. Then one of the brothershad recentlydied of typhoid fever, while sixothers were either illwith, or convalescing fromthe same disease. Of thes e six ,

fivehave already returned to college and resumed work. These are BrothersMcKenzie, Robertson and Transue, of ’89, Brother Jenner, of ’

90, and BrotherSamuel, of ’9 1 . BrotherTransue, alone of theSenior brotherswhohave returned,does not expect to graduate until t89o. The seventhof our patients, BrotherBrackett, ’89, is not yet suflicientlyrecovered to resumehis college work, bu t expeets to graduatewiththe class of

’

90. To the chapter themisfortune of thesetwo brotherswill not bewithout some advantage, as theywill now reinforce our

unusually smallJuniordelegationof four.

Onemorehas been added to the number of chapter-houses at Syracuse.

Alpha Phi, a sorority chapter, enjoys thedistinction of having led in thismatter.

Nex t came Delta U. , andnow Delta Kappa Epsilonhas just rented a comfortabledwelling -house, locatedmidway between the city’s center and the University. I t

maynot be out of place to say that the two formerhousesare ownedandnot rentedby the chapters occupying them.

I t is expected that the Onondagan, ourUniversity annual, will be out within a

week. This numberwill be of especial interest to Delta U ’s, as BrotherClark, ’

Thosewho are not attending State institu tions cannot well appreciate the stir

and bustle of the college year during the session of the Legislature. I t is no t so

muchthat the students desire to learn theways of their law-makers, somuchas itis that generally there are severalhills in the interest of the University, to whichmost students g ive a good deal of attention. Thishas been especially the case thisyear; the Universityhashadmany bills in the Leg islature,most of themcalling for

appropriations, and so the Professors and studentshavehaunted the capitol a gooddeal. One bill in particular, appmpriating fora drill-halland gymnasium,has been of interest to the students as ithas been in a sense fathered by them. In

manyways it is unfortunate that theUniversity should be thus dependent upon theLegislature, but this year ithas fared very well, the gymnasiumbill being the only

onewhosefate is yet uncertain.

In college circles the most important event lately is the appearance of theAnnual. I t is dec idedlybetter than any of its three predecessors and will comparequite favorablywithsimilarpublicatious of other colleges. I ts register shows thatthe present attendance is 7 1 r.

grow steadily, if slowly. We shall probably lose sixmen at the close of the year.

In theJuly, t 888, QUARTERLY, I recorded themoving of the chapter fromits'

ginal quarters at West Somerville to a new hall at West Medford. This act

was not desired on ourpart, but wewere compelled to do so on account of theproperty inwhichourhallwas situated changinghands. Sincemycommunicationto the last QUARTERLY ,however, arrangementshave beenmadewherebywehavebeen enabled to return to the old place. The roomshave been enlarged and

thoroughly renovated, and are in everywaymore desirable than before. Theseare the same rooms that the chapter occupiedwhen first organized, and where wefeelmost at home. Wehope to be able to remainhere until wehave a chapterhouse.

The chapter read withmuchpleasure that we should be furnished withthepublications of other fraternities, especially sincewe feel that we shall not sufferby comparison.

Some changeshave taken place among us. Brother Clarence F. French,formerly of ’

88. andmore lately of the Harvard Law School,has returned to finishhis course and takehis deg ree of A .B. Arthur Q . Dunmore, ’

position in a bankinghouse in Boston, and willenter uponhis duties in a few days.

BrotherDunmore’shome being near by,he will attend themeetings as usual, so

we shall onlyhalf losehim.

OurCollege Glee Club is exceedingly fortunate inhaving so fine anelocutionist as Brother John B . Weeks. Wherever the club appears, his selections are

always one of the chief features of the evening . BrotherWeeks intends to go uponthe stage at anearlydate, and is taking a special course in literature andmodernlanguages, withthat end in view.

To speak generally, the chapter is prosperous. The meetings are well

attended, and the feeling of unitymanifest between eachand everyman gives us a

sense of security and strengthagainst any unforeseendanger.

Students at New Brunswick early in the ’

7o’swill be grieved to hear of the

deathof Rev. J. Fred. McLaury, whichoccurred at Byron, N. Y. , January 3oth,afi eran illness of threeweeks. Mr. McLaurywas born ofmost excellent Christianparentage, in or near Delhi, N. Y .

, graduated at Rutgers in 1870, and entered

the Theological Seminary at New Brunswick; but being earnestly pressed by 8

.little Presbyterian congregation in theWestern Catskills to give themthe Bread of

Life, forwhichtheywere famishing ,he left the Seminary before the conclusion of

his course and became theirpastor. Herehe faithfully prosecutedhis studies, andwas indue time examined by the Presbytery upon the full curriculumandordainedto theministry.He continued threeor four years in this charge, whenheremovedto the Presbyterian Churchin Canoga, Seneea County, afterwards to Marathon,and finally to Byron, Genesee County, where after about six years of servicehefinishedhis course. Brother McLaury, notwithstanding his constant sufferings

fromasthma, was a very effective pastor and preacher. It was my privilege tospend somedayswithhimon threedifferent occasions inhis earlyministry, and Iwas greatly impressedwithhisnoble Christianmanliness. He seemed tome singularly free fromthought of self in allhedid. In spite of his delicatehealthhe wasuntiring inhis work, and ever ready for any call to help another. Inhis firstcharge, at Shavertown, in the Catskills, there was occasion for suchself-denial asis not often foundevenamonghomemissionaries. Thehousebe occupiedwas theplainest kind of amountain cottage— really it was an unpainted cabinnot so goodasmost of those of the poor people aroundhim— but it was the besthe could get,

andnot a word oract betrayed discontent withhishumble lot . By allwho knewhimhewill be especially remembered for a very winning geniality of manner,whose spring was a most true and warmhw t . Therewas a lively play of

humor inhis intercoursewithfri ends, but it was never tincturedwiththeacid of

sarcasm. His dailylifewas a daily sermon onChristianlove andself- forgetfulness.

All of us who knewhimfeel thathe gave us some of ourbest impulses to goodness. In ourheartshe lives, and we are poorer as we realize that we shallnevertakehimby thehandor look intohismanly face again. Mr. McLaurywas never

married. A widowed sister presided overhishome fromthe first, andwitha largefamilymourns the best of brothers gone.

timewould allow , inhis own college classes. He believed in giving everyman a

chance to dohis best . His ideal of a college is thus expressed inhis ownwordsI f I were to found a college after my own liking , I wouldhave but one rule I

him, as the eldest son,many new duties inmanaging the educationofhis brothersand sisters. These dutieshe assumed, and withenergy, self- sacrifice and con

DEAR Sta — You askmemy opinion about Mr. Mitchellas amathematician.

Hehas been amost diligent and intelligent student inmy class for the last two orthreeyears and I always entertained a very favorable opinion ofhis abilities, but, ,

in somework whichhehas recently been engaged upon,hehas takenme completely by surprise.

Hehaswritten two papers for ourAmericanJournalofMathematicswhichwill '

be printed successively in the two forthcoming numbers. In that Journal, as youare well aware, we only insert papers of sterling value and embodying original

ideas. Mr. Mitchell’s two papers are up to ourhighest standard of qualifi cationsfor insertion. They are most masterly, distinguished by themost absolute

originality bothindesign and execution, and I can truly say that althoughheonlycommenced the study of that part ofmathematics (the Theory of Numbers)to whichthese papers refer inmy lecture roomabout eighteenmonths ago, I

shouldhave been very glad, not to say proud, tohave beenmyself the author of

them. I look uponMr. Mitchell as belonging to the same class of intellect as

Franklin, Craig andMiss Ladd, and that he is morally certain, if he lives and

perseveres, tomake a distinguished name forhimself in theworld of science.

Yours faithfully,PRESIDENT GiLMAN . J. J . Sv xsraa.

Beautiful, and true, and nobleWas the idol ofmy heart;

Longmy lipshad sought occasionTheirguarded secret to impart.

Butmy love seemed unrequ itedCourage

She could hearme praised, applauded,Andno signher thoughts betrayed

But once, whenmy life was censured,The indignant blushes played

Onher checks of Parian whiteness,Andhersecret mine wasmade.

Vol. VII. AUGUST, 1889. No. 4.


The Kappa Sigma Quarterly is not exciting reading in hot weather.The opening article, on OurFratemity, is quite as rambling, but notas comprehensive asmight be expected from the breadth of the subject.Five pages satisfies the writer and likewise the reader. A somewhatquestionable policy is the republication, complete, from the Scroll ofPhi Delta Theta, of W. B. Palmer's history of Phi Beta Kappa. Spaceis too valuable inFraternity magazines to spend in such ways, althoughthe compliment to Mr. Palmer is none the less strong. Twentytwo letters from the twentytwo active chapters give the editor causefor righteous rejoicing. An intelligent suppression of fresh pas

sages would help the letters. The personals also show signs Of a

missing blue pencil, but perhaps they were spared because so few

Witness this:“ C. D. Marston is ‘hustling ’

shoes for a Baltimorehouse, with Virginia as his territory, I think.

" This also has itsbright side:“ Stafford C. Cook is giving ‘pills to the natives of York


town, Va. , and if any brother is looking for a good field for theundertaking ’ business, I respectfully recommend Yorktown, Va. and

BrotherCOOk as a‘silent ’ partner. The Virginia University corre

spondent speaks Of the chapter including hard students, athletics(sic), musicians, calicoists and vocalists.

”Is calicoists a Sou th

ernismora Kappa Sigmaism?4:

The nest cover of the March Arrow covers a multitude, no t of

sins, but of verses. These range from sorority songs, some Of whichare bright and sparkling

,albeit set to old tunes, down to verses

included in Chapter letters, where they seem out of place. Under“ Open Letters are published communications from three chapters,commenting favorably on the scheme of adopting inter- fraternitypledges not to initiate until a given time after the beginning Of eachcollege year. An editorialhas this to say on the same live topic

May the spirit of raising the standard of Pi Beta Phimembership grow and

prosper ! The question of careful acquaintance for a spec ified lengthof time vs.

‘rushing , ’ should be unanimously decided in favor of time and carefulness. I t

seems unwise, certainly, to pledge highschool and preparatory students whenthey are not expec ted to becomemembers of Pi Beta Phi until they aremembersin good standing in college classes. Those pledgedmay not fulfi ll the promise of

earlyyouthin womanly worthand scholarship . If an organization gets its life

fromthis source, the grown up young womanmay find the ideal ofhighschooldays, not the reality of college experience. Let us not encourage blind belief inwhatmay for the same reason prove a fleeting vision. This idea is suggestive of

elements that do not enter into Pi Beta Phi principles. Wewant our candidates toM who constitute themembership they are invited to join. We certainlyneed

to understand that we are admitting into our Cherished sisterhood thosewhose livesin college, and in afteryears, will add to themoral and intellectualmerit of theorganization.

The space devoted to the exchanges deserves to be enlarged tokeep up with the quality. The june numberhas for its “ leadingarticle a discussion Of Should Women Practice Medicine ? by Dr.

Bessie E. Perry, who, inher professional and womanly zeal, has madeout a strong case. The organization Of Columbia Alpha chapter at

Columbian University, inWashington,D. C received due attention .

I t is pleasant to welcome back to the ranks of the fraternity pressthe Phi Gamma Delta Quarlerly after its eightmonths’ sleep. The resthas evidently been refreshing

character, althoughit should bea r the impress of it. I t shouldhave on file copiesof the leading fraternity organs, educationalmagazines and any publication of

interest to the fraternityman. Give the idea a trial and we feel satisfied you will

find it a satisfac tory investment .t

We are still inclined to doubt the expediency Of publishing fraternitymagazines monthly, despite the brave attempts of Phi Kappa Psito keep up the standard Of its Sirield. The strain on a conscientiouseditorial board must be great, and an editorial board lacking con

science would let the quality deteriorate. Then,too, few graduates

care particularly whether fraternity news comes to them monthly orquarterly, and it is doubtful if many undergraduates really feel a

pressing need O f monthlies. Four numbers Of the Sirield now lie

before us, and while it must be admitted that they have a remarkablevigorOf tone, nevertheless condensation and combination would havebettered them. In the Aprilnumber, twelve pages aregiven to reportsof the district councils, whose papers and discussions have an interestfor other Greeks, since their topics are non- partisan, SO to speak .

Some Of the essays are published in later issues.

AnotherSide/d, but not as bright, is that Of Theta Delta Chi. An

interesting feature Of the May number is a list Of members Of theFraternity who took part in theWar Of the Rebellion. Details are

meager,but the idea is an excellent one. A personal indorsement O f

a phonographic institute is Oddly put under the head Of editorial. I t

cannot be that our contemporaryhas fallen into the bad habits O f

mercenary dailies? The Brown chapter correspondent makes th isexplanation Of previous remarks

,quoted in the last QUARTERLY:

Owing to an attempt to condense two or three sentences into one, a some.

what unfortunate expression crept into Zeta ’

s letter to NO . 3 Of the last volume O f

the Shield. The statement was not intended to reflec t upon the character Of theDelta U ’

s at Brown. Suchan inference would bewhallyat variancewiththe facts.

What wasmeant was simply this that there aremanymen who willnot join a se

cret society, and that accordingly, among SO many secret soc ieties, a single non

secret fraternityhas a certain advantage in securing men. This explanation seemsto bedue the Delta U ’

s, someof whomseemnot unnaturally tohavemisunderstoodthemeaning Of this sentence.

”

How noble amb ition is cruelly crushed, is sadly told in the Opening page Of the May Kappa Alphaj ournal.


This issue of the f ame! contains a smallnumber of chapter letters, whencompared to theUtopian plans that oncehad life in the brainof the bro therwhohas for two years conducted this department, but whichplans are now in the laststages of a rapid consumption.

”

Some consolation is found inThequality, we believe, is the best so far, the newmen, especially, writing

good, substantial letters, witha spirit that is commendable.

”

The request for “a long letter

,the longest, the best that youhave

everwritten,”for the next issue, is thus touchingly worded

If you desire to make glad the soul of us who soonwill sever this connect ion, you granthimthe pleasure of publishing a letter fromevery chapter in theorder.

”

Philosophically, he closesA fraternitymagazinewithout a strong letter department is as salt withou t

savor, as daywithout sun, as the bodywithout the soul. The fine imposed for a

failure to write a letter is, atmost, a paltry sum,but were the fine largeenoughto

pay the cost of publication, in our opinion it would notmake up the loss sustainedbya lack of thesesame letters. Let the last issuehe a grand exponent of fraternityjournalism.

We wonder if the systemOf fining delinquent Chapters pays ? ZetaPsi employs it to a considerable ex tent.

A problem that is ever before fraternities is asked by a Chapter correspondent

We would like to see some plan adopted for the promotion of enthusiasminthe different chapters, forwe fear that a great many of us need a little fire behindus, and enthusiasmis ak in to success in principle, thoughnot in etymology.

The correspondent fromthe University Of South Carolina wellasks

Why should not our brotherhood ex tend throughout the country, ins of

confining itself to one section exclusively? Many of ourmembers take courses inNorthern colleges and are now entirely cut off fromFraternity friends. "

Anent salaried O fficers, the editor saysWe are in favor of paying good salaries to our general offi cers, particularly

the twohighest, and thendemanding that the duties of these Officers be promptlyand satisfactorily administered.

”

That Is now the only way. College fraternities have passed beyondthe po int when they can be handled in the leisuremoments Of a fewdevoted alumni. I f they are conducted in the business- like waywhichtheirdemands necessitate, theymust have Offi cers who canmeet those


calls. This means that some ableman,who by experience oraptness

is fi tted for the position, must devote allhis time to the cause. NO

man can do this unless he is independently wealthy and withoutregular business. Ofi cers in several fraternities have been receivingsalaries forseveral years past. Delta Kappa Epsilon used to boastthat she paidherGeneral Secretary t r, 500 a year.In “ Notes and Clippings, the list Of “ New York Greek- Letter

Clubs and theirOflicers, which first appeared in our February issue,is inserted, and is credited to the Phi DeltaTheta Scroll. I t is throughno error on the editor’s part, because the Scroll took it from theQUARTERLY without credit. A list of alumni subscribers is published,they numbering only seventy- eight in all. I t is a shame that such an

excellent magazine is so poorly stripp‘

orted by its alumni.

Anentire leaf in the June Kappa KappaGammaKy is given to thesimple announcement in the centerof the page

The late appearance of this number of Tfie Key is due to the tardiness of thesemi - annual reports.

”

This is quite killing,and decidedly more effective than filling the two

pages with regrets and admonitions. We are solicitous for the healthOf those poor, delinquent correspondents. The semi- annual reportsshow that the fraternity is enjoying a good measure Of prosperity.

Whynot write some bright campaign Chapter songs for the fall?is suggested in an editorial to those whose time is not fully occupiedduring vacation. The idea is a good one, and wewish some Of ourmembers would write something forDelta U.

The account of Phi’s annual banquet closes withFraternity songs and rousing Cheers made the time pass pleasantly and

quicklyaway.

We would give a good deal to haveheard those “rousing Cheers.

Theexchanges are cautiously handled and prove interesting reading.

The editoris in a philosophicalmood, and opens with some pleasingsayings, touching gently upon the “ intentional unkindliness whichthemagazines Show to each other in their reviews. After this relief,the editor is ready for work and drops at Once into the regulation ex

change habit of scoring wherever opportunity presents. We cannotrestrain a smile when we read that a recent number of the Sigma Chi

A bird’s-eye view of Delta U.

’s progress embraces several comprehensive

tables, exhibiting the growthof the fraternity inmembers and chapters fromherearliest existence. Even a casual glance at these tables discloses a remarkablegrowthfor theyears prior to 1861 , and a corresponding decline since that time.

"

This will be news to Delta Upsilon. The manipulation of thetable necessary to produce such a result is done in this manner

Following out the first chapter given in the list, that at Williams College,we find that the alumni membership in 186:had reached 454, while between theyears of 186 1 and 1888 thismembershipwas only increased to 492. Thismay inmeasurehave been caused by the temporary inactivity of the chapter for a periodof years;but anexamination of the tableshows that while, during themost flourishing four years of its existenceprior to 186:the Williams chapter initiatedmsmen, themost flourishing period of its subsequent growth, the four years endingwith1888, ismarked by the initiationof but 24men.

”

The unjust andmisleading conclusion arrived at in this argumentwill be quickly appreciated when we state that ourWxYIrhrns chapterwas extinct from the latter part of t 863, until October 1 2

period of over twenty years’

suspension the editor calls “may ia

Ourstanding in collegehas constantly risen. While we are con

scions that our influence in college is yet small, on account o f our

youth, we are confident that the principles of Phi Delta Theta are

bound to make it at last the foremost fratern ity in a college which isthe greatest stronghold of the Eastern organizations. Psi Upsilon isthe most influential fraternity at Amherst, and we are proud to numberheramong our fri ends. The kindness of its membershas beenvery grateful. Alpha Delta Phi comes next, with its aristocratic blueblooded brotherhood. Chi Psi and Delta KappaEpsilon have a highrank. Delta Upsilon, Beta Theta Pi andTheta. Delta Chi are prettygenerally acknowledged by the Greek world here to yield to us in

standing, though they are chapters of some years’ duration. Chi Phi,

we hope, will be the next to fall behind in reputation, as we believeshe alreadyhas in the real merit of hermen.

They should be given well defined territorial limits, and something to do besides sleep a yearand wake up then to have a banquet.Alumni Chapters should be established in Philadelphia and Washington, where we have many alumni. MaineVermont, Rhode Island,New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota andWisconsin should haveState associations. The central andwestern part of New York shouldnot be neglected, and St. Louis, Baltimore and San Francisco are

deserving of attention. I f internal development is our aimto -day, by

allmeans let the alumni chapters be given theirshare of attention.

I t might prove a wise thing if the next convention would considerthe advisability of recognizing the district convention system as an

important factor in fraternity progress. No doubt there is a questionwhether the lengths to which some fraternities carry the systemare

worth the trouble; but many reasons will come to mind why somesuch kind of gathering is desirable. Theirmost obvious excuse for

being will be the educational value theymay be to the delegates whoattend. If held late in the spring or at any other convenient time,they must necessarily consider matters that are likely to come beforethe fall convention. Essays could be presented, discussions held, andmore than one matter of interest would be brought to general attention. Again, such a convention would be, in its way, as great aunifier and cementer of friendship as the larger convention. Manymen

,who would be unable to attend the larger convention, would

here be brought together and the result could not be anything butbeneficial. The compact situation of ourown chapters will lend itselfto the carrying out of such a plan. The New England chapterswould naturally fall into one district, and the Central New Yorkchapter into another, while the others could less easily be parceled off.I f it is not desired to commit the Fraternity to this system, why notat least have the next convention resolve to allow a trial

,and then

have an experimentalmeeting or two ? The result could not fail to beinteresting as well as profitable.

Remember,Campaign Committees

The article on ChapterCorres pondence in the MayQUARTERLYsuggested to many readers the question whether it pays to keep in theConstitu tion Section 7 of Article 5 , which treats of intercommunication between chapters by letter, andhas fallen into such “ innocuousdesuetude. ” As suggested, the chapter letters in the QUARTERLYmight be made a substitute, bu t in that case leg islation would benecessary making it obligatory upon every chapter editor to furnish aletter for every issue of the QUARTERLY. The advantages of suchawidespread publication of each chapter’s doings are obvious, and weare sure the alumni would welcome the change.The ofliceofCorres ponding Secretary could in that case be abolished

orrather combined with that of chapter editor, which would assumethe position its importance demands. At present the requirements of

these positions are not satisfactorily fulfilled.e a

Shallwehavehonorarymembers -:Sigma Aqua EpsilonRecord.

I f you desire to hold andstrengthen yourgood reputation you willdecide No,

” once and for all time. Honorary membership, as

usually conferred, is simply for the sake of having well known namesupon the roll. This is an open confession of weakness. For if theFraternity possessed a suflicient number of famous men among itsalumni to give it standing anddistinction, there would be no occasionto weaken the value of its membership by making honorary elections.

In years gone by it was the customary practice of young fraternitica, and some old ones also, to elect honorary members becausedistinguished alumni were scarce, and that is why so many fraternitiesnow have them. The flight of time has wrought many changes inthe Greek world. Men who years ago were just leaving college tobegin the solution of their life’s problem are now in the enjoyment ofall the honor that the age can g ive them. This glory and fame bringsreputation to the fraternity happy in their possession, and renders nunecessary the borrowing of figure- heads. This question of honorarymembership has been before Delta Upsilon quite often, and, we are

pleased to say, that every case in the past eight yearshas been answeredemphatically in the negative.

Yale is now the great Mecca for every fraternity not having a

chapter there.

306 DELTA Urs1Lox QUARTERLY.

Occasionally complaint appears in the Greek- lettermagazines thatthe chapter letters are uninteresting, largely composed of brag ,lacking literary value and written in the style thathas charac terizedthese productions foryears past.This fault is often unjustly charged against the editor.An examination of many letters gives the impression that the

writers regard theirwork in the light of a task, and this, of necessity,robs the letter of the charm that springs from a labor of love. Thatthe majority of these letters are without interest is certainly not thefault of the editor;he is bound to publish whathisassistants sendhim.

He can edit the letters to a certain ex tent or reject them entirely, buthe cannot write others to replace them, as he does not possess sumcient knowledge, even if hehad the time and inclination.

Each chapter of a fraternity publishing anofi cial magazine is supposed to have an associate editor or correspondent. The duties of

such an oflicerare unquestionably to commit to paper the ideas and

convictions which his brothers maintain on matters relating to thechapter and fraternity, and to transmit themthrough the magazine forthe consideration of the fraternity at large. In short, his duty is toprepare a chapter editorial.We do not wish to be understood as advocating the exclusion of

news froma chapter letter. That is as essential as anything else, onlyit should be presented in a readable manner, free from useless verbiageand beyond localism.

When chapter letters are so prepared that they will reflect the ideasand opinions of the chapter and report news that is interesting, therewill be no cause for criticismand the value of the fraternity magazinewill be greatly enhanced. Then

,too

,will the aimof chapter letters

be attained,and the link between every chapterand every member be

more securely welded into the grand chain of Fraternity.

I t requ ires to edit a newspaper successfully the brains of a philosopher, theskill, the vigilance and the boldness of a great general;amanought to be a states

man, anessayist, a geographer, a statistician and an encyclopedia. Talnage its

A few weeks will bring on the annual campaign season, with itscustomary trials, defeats and victories. No work of the chapterduring the college year is so dimcult or trying, and none on which thelife and prosperity of a chapterso much depend.

The committee inwhose hands the future of the chapter is placedshould be carefully selected from the strongest men. Tact, versatility,generous disposition, pleasing address and good judgment of character are among the qualities required forsuccessfulwork.

With the selection of desirable men among the new studentscomes the task of pledging. This is often greatly lessened if the candidatehas a relative or friend in the Fraternity. Such informationcan be readily obtained from the Alphabetical List of Members andGeographical Index in the Qm

The annualConvention, coming in the latter part of October, necessitates thedelay of an October issue, or holding the Convention matter untilJanuary.

The fraternity magazine haspassed beyond the period when it can be successfully handled by adevoted member in time taken from his regular duties. To possesa pleasing appearance, contain fresh, interesting matter, and be issuedpromptly, it requires as careful, experienced supervision as a monthlymagazine or a daily newspaper.When fraternities can secure such attention for their journals there

will be little complaint about costlatde

The recent subscription of a thdusand dollars, by a member of theFraternity residing in New York, forthe purpose of aidinghis chapterin the purchase of a home, is an eloquent testimonial to the value

and influence of the Fraternity.

Happily forDelta Upsilon such generous gifts are becoming morefrequent. They have a significance, too, that is gratifying to thosewho are interested in the development of fraternities. No betterevidence can be given of the permanency and stability of the fraternity8 tem.ys

A t long and fi tful intervals a brief let terhas appeared in theQUARTERLYfromthe Union chapter informing her sister chapters that life was still extant.

After amost successful year it becomesmy pleasant duty to extend theheartiestgreetings of the Unimc chapter to her sister chapters, and to assure themthatwhile an almost unbroken silence for some time pasthas surrounded her, lifeand actionhave been developing , and that now, at the end of the year of ’89,

she is able to stand forthin allher new - bumstreng thto greet again withall theold- time fervorher sister chapters. The past yearhas dealtmost generouslywithus, doing muchto place us again in our old position. By a complicationof circumstances two years ago we returnedwithbut fourmen. Things indeed lookedgloomy for Delta U but for the untiring efforts of Brother Kennedy, ’88, to


whomDelta U . at Union owesmore than to any otherman whohas been amemberof late years, and whosememory we love to cherish, not alonebecause of our

fraternalrelations, but for the genial and generous friendship thathe inspired. To

himindeed Delta U . owesher existence to-day. The clouds have passed awayand the sunshine of a new prosperity beams upon us. In all the varied spheresof college life eachmemberhas borne himself withcredit , thus reflecting honoruponour chapter. In scholarship, inathlet ics, our position is second to none. In’89 ourmen tookhighrank, Brother Snow receiving a Sigma Xi key. Wehaveno

’

90men, but we have the leaders in ’

91 , while in’

92 boththe classical andscientifi c divisions are led by Delta U.

’s. In athletics our position was most

clearly defined by our taking more events than any other one society at field-day.

At Commencement wewere less fortunate, due,however, to the fact that our '89men, withone exception, were eng ineers, thus debarring themfromstage privileges. Brother Snow. ashas been stated, received a Sigma Xi key, andMcDonald,’

9 1 , received the first Sophomore oratorical prize.

Commencement brought back a large number o f our alumni, and thebanquetand soc ialweremosthappy occasions. The facts most significant of our presentprosperity and future permanency were, the swinging of a

’

93man at Commencement, a thing done by no other fraternity this year, and the action taken bythealumni towards theerection of a chapterhouse. All is wellwithus now. Re

spected by our fellow students and unhampered by society feuds, we are looking

ADELBERT COLLEGE.

Commen t“ ? Wann— The Adelbert chapter sends greeting to her sister

chapters. We arehappy to saywehave finishedsuccessfullyanotheryear. Since

the last Quaa'

raamrwas is ued several interesting and important events havetaken place at Adelbert. Sundayevening , the 16thof June, Dr. Haydn openedthe exercises of Commencement week by delivering the Baccalaureate sermon inthe Euclid Avenue Congregational Church. It was a rainy evening , yet a large

audience, whichfilled the church, showed their appreciation of the occasion. On

Monday evening the prize speaking was held in Calvary Chapel. Four speakersfromtheFreshman class and four fromthe Sophomore class are chosen by thefaculty. The prize of the Sophomore class fell to BrotherJohnH . Dynes, and thatof the Freshman class to CharlesW. Stage, anAlphaDelta Phi. For severalyears

Delta U .has secured one prize or the other. The alumni met in the chapel on


Tuesday afternoonandheld their annualmeeting . A larger number than usual

werepment. In the evening , err- Senator Conger, of Michigan, of the class of ’

4r,

delivered the alumni address in theDiscipleChurch. Following thisaddress, someof the fraternities gave banquets to their alumni . Delta U. was onhand, andabout thirty sat at the table. Thespread was discussed, and then followed toastsand reminiscences fromthe alumni. Among those who were present were thefollowing: TheRev. JohnN . Wilson, ’66, the first President of the re establishedchapter; the Rev. W . S . Swan,

’

In theevening thePresident gave a reception tothe alumni , invited guests and students. The building was beautifully decoratedwithflowers and lightedbyelectric lights. A largecrowdwas present. andenjoyedthemselves unt ila latehour in social chat, wandering about thehalls, recitation

rooms,looking over the laboratories, museumand library, dancing , etc. The

college glee club and orchestra furnished themusic, rendering several beau tifulselections.

only Seniormember, Evan H . Hopkins, is studying stenography this summer.Next fallhewillenter Harvard Law School. The different members of thechapter are busying themselves in various ways. Some are travelmg , some are at summer resorts, others are working or studying . Field day occurred on the 29thofMay. Prizes were given this year to the w inners of the several numbers on theprogramme. I t was cloudy all day, and the latter part of the afternoon it rained,

compelling an adjournment to the gymnasium, where the programmewas carriedout as far as possible. We took very few prizes— in fact , only a smallnumber of

Delta U .

’s entered the lists. The Reserve came out on fielddayandwas purchased

bymany of the visitors .

rWa x.— The Commencement exercises at Rochester this

year were made unusually attractive by being held in thenew LyceumTheatre.

This building is so muchbetter adapted to speaking than any of the churches.that the exercises weremuchmore pleasant and better appreciated by the peopleof the city than ever before.

In noting the prizes andhonors awarded to the members of the Rocker-terchapter this year, it should be borne inmind that theprizes given at our college

in former years have nearly all been abolished. At the Sophomore exhibition,appointments to whichare made on the basis of scholarship, two Delta U .

’s ap

peared, and one of them, WilliamD. Merrell, received the first prize. At theSenior Exhibition our three Seniors appeared, BrotherWilliamC. Raymondwiththehonor of Phi Beta Kappa. Bro therRaymondhas been appointed to a good

position as a teacher in ahighclass school inTexas. In thehonorwork, pursuedin addition to the regularwork of the course, appear thenames of Brothers A.H.

Wilcox , ’

90, in Frenchand German WilliamD. Merrell, inLatin H. A . Hamilton,

’

9a, in Latin and Mathematics ;and George I . Gardner inMathematics. Thismaynot seema large number but when it is considered that this work is doneforhonorable mention simply, and not for prizes, and thatmore than one- third of

thehonor work during the past yearwas done byDelta U.

’s. it will appearmore

creditable. Theclass dayexercises this year were of a veryhighorder. BrotherFox gave the Senior Bone Speech, and Brother Raymond theTreeOration.

At the annualmeet ing of the Board of Trustees of the university ourpetition

for a site for a chapterhouse on the campus was favorably considered, and a reso

lution to that effect presented to the chapter. We are g iven to understand that ifthematter shall be approved byDr. Hill, uponhis return fromEurope, our requestwill be granted.

About six tymembers sat down to the annual banquet at the Livingston, Tuesdaynight . The arrangements in charge of the committee, Messrs. Bramley, ’

French, ’

Needed Element of Character.

” His tex t, Put off thy shoes fromoff thy feet,for the place whereon thou standest isholy ground.

” No abstract could do justiceto the sermon, whichwas the best delivered inMiddlebury formany years. Theanniversary of the college Y. M . C . A . came Sundayevening . A crowdedhouselistened to the address, whichwas given by Brother E. C. Evans,

’

76, of Indiana

The address was unusually interesting and instructive. The preliminarymeet ing of the associated alumni was held Tuesday at A.H. Matters of

business were disposed of. The report of the Necrolog ical Committee showedthat seventeen alumnihad died during the past year. At to A .H. the churchwascrowded tohear the alumni exercises. The orationwas given by the Rev. C . S.

characterof thelate ProfessorW. H . Parker, ’

BROWN UNIVERSITY .

TheBrown chapter greets the brothers of Delta Upsilon. The greeting ismingled withpain,however, forwe deeply regret thedeparture of

’89 . Our per

sonal loss,however, is somewhat lessened by onefact, the alumnihave received six

moremanlymen. Eightymine's departure was showered withhonors. BrothersMartin, Lathrop, Packard and Carpenter were elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

Brothers Martin, Lathrop and Packard spoke at Commencement. BrotherPackardwon the Senior Essay prize. Bro ther Lathrop receivedhonors in Chemistry,and BrotherMartin in Political Economy. The delegation from'89 was a strong

one.

’

Its influencewas alwayshealthful and inspiring .

The Juniorelec tion to Phi Beta Kappa has been announced, and BrothersDealey and Stockwell are among the number. Brother Dealeywas also recently

elected President of theY. M . C . A. Assoc iation.

Our delegation from'

91 is exceptionally fine. In scholarship it rankshigh.Brother Meader was recently elec ted Manager of the Athletic Association.

Burt is qu ite a runner. At Narragansett Park, Providence, Decoration Day,

he ran against several well known amateurs, and won first prize, a handsomesilver cup. Brother Everett sustained the record of Delta U. by taking firstprize at the annual Sophomore declamations. ' This is the third consecutive timethat first prizehas fallen to Delta U ., and now we claimit as our own.

The chapter is in excellent condition and the prospects are favorable. Wehave twomenpledged and several specimens in the menagerie.

”

Wehad a pleasant surprise the other evening . A lady— amotherly lady, one

of the kind who always help young men— wished to expressher interest in thechapter, and so she presented us witha beau tiful picture. I t will adorn ourwalls

as a constant reminder of the firstmember of the Brown Delta U. annex .

The college is rapidly progressing . Wilson Hall, our new physical laboratory, is in process of execu tion. Governor Laddhas presented the university withanastronomical observatory, inmemory ofhis wrfe. Themoney for the new gymnasiumhas been subscribed, and the plans presented. The curriculumhas beenremodeled to meet prevailing demands. Themost important acquisition is our

new President, who, you all know, is a Delta U. ProfessorE. Benjamin Andrews,LL.D. ,

’

70, has accepted the offi ce, and will enter upon his duties as soon as

released fromCornell. BrotherAndrews, for suchwe can justly callhim, needs

no introduction as an instructor and student. He is an enthusiastic Fraternityman, full of originality, inspiration and wit . Wehave keenly felthis loss duringthe year thathehas been at Cornell; but now thathe is to be withus againweshall appreciatemuchmore highlyhis mature advice, heartfelt encouragementand paternaloversight . The next fi fteen years will behold a phenomenal growthat Brown; and as Brown advances Delta Upsilonwill advance.

The exercises consisted of orations, music and conferring of degrees. As beforestated, Delta U . took a prominent part, having three out of the ten speakers andreceiving a large share of thehonors. The graduating class numbered fi ftymine.

The usualalumni dinner followed the exercises. Representatives of many classesspoke in loyal terms of the love for their almamater.

OnWednesday evening President Robinson held his annual levee. Therewas the customary profusion of pretty girls, and the big bowl of pink lemonade.

MADISON UNIVERSITY.

Cou usncsu snrWaste— Theevents of this occasionwere enjoyed by amuchlarger bodyof alumni and friends than usual. Added interest was g ivmto theexercises fromthe fact that the corner- stone of thenew library building would be

placed in position, and also that the name of the institutionwould be changed.

I t will henceforthbe known as theColgate University— assuming the name of thefamilywhichfor two generationshas been among its most liberal supporters and

benefactors. The library building (the gift of Mr. James B. Colgate, of NewYork), will be the second largest college library building in the State. I ts floor

area will equal twenty thousand square feet, and its capacity for library purposesbe upward of twohundred and fi fty thousand volumes. The outsidewalls are to

be faced withWarsaw blue stone, trimmed withEast Long Meadow brown stone.

The structure is to beabsolutely fire- proof, and none but the very best of materialswill enter into its construcnon. The dedicatory exercises will be held duringCommencement week of nex t year.

Madison'

s progressive spiri t is still further capable of demonstration. Threeof her Pro fessors are now engaged in the preparation of books for the use of

the class- room. President Dodgehas in press, and for the exclusive use of theSenior class, a small volume on " Christian Ethics,” whichhe is expecting to

largely incorporate in a work on theology soon to be written. Dr. Sylvester

Burnhamhas in preparation a volume on Old Testament Interpretation, " and

Brother James M . Taylor, ’

78, is preparing anAlgebra, whichwill beadopted atseveral other institu tions.

During the past year our Senior delegationhas numbered bu t threemen,

and, contrary to custom, we failed to obtain the valedictory. Brother Retansecured thehistorical and Bro ther Langworthy the ethicalhonor, each, thereforewinning membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Brother Wishart, not to be a whitbehind, was avaricious enoughto lay claimto thehighest prize in college

— theLewis Commencement prize in oratory. BrotherLangworthy receivedhonorablemention. Delta U .has won this prize three years in succession.

evening , fromjoining in the festivities.Withnine strong men in ’

The chapterhas lately purchased some very tasty parlor furnishings, suchasbronze bric - a- brac, easels, etchings, and a beautiful brass piano lamp. Theyadd muchto the attractiveness of the chapterhouse, and increase the comfortwhichall receive fromour pleasant surroundings.

UNIVERSITY OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK.

At the Commencement, June r3th, BrotherWolfedelivered thevaledic tory andsecured the $300 fellowship; Brothers Gates, Finn and Seibert delivered orations,

and thus every Delta U . in’89 stood among the honor men; BrotherFinn was

Secretary and Bro ther Gates Historian of the class.

The Commencement washeld at the Metropolitan Opera House, and was a

complete success. Many Delta U .

We regard the Timely Topics " department of the QUARTERLY as amostvaluable addition. Throughit our QUARTERLY can bemade more nearly whatits founders intended, amediumfor the interchange of ideas bearing onthe generaladvancement of the Fraterni ty. We believe also withthe PViu onrin boys that thechapter- letters should be patterned somewhat after this plan. This change, and itwould indeed be a change, should certainly provemost interesting .

CORNELL UNIVERSITY.

The Cornell chapter of Delta Upsilonhas just finished one of themost successful years inherhistory. We feel that our position has never been so firmbefore,and we enterwithconfidence on the work of the ensu ing year. Our Campai gnCommittee, in its work of the fall term, was, perhaps, not so distinct as it mighthave been. This was due to the fact that thecommitteewasheartily supported inits work by everymember of the chapter, and the result was most assuredlysuccessinl. We insist that every candidate formembership must possess those qualities whichare ever demanded of onewho can becomeamember of Delta Upsilon.

We secured, as the result of our campaignwork, five Freshmen and one Law

Junior, whichdelegationhas materially strengthened the chapter. The prospectforanexcellent

’

93 delegation is promising . Wehavebeen unusually strong in thefaculty the past year, our representation in that body consisting of tenmembers,and we expect that nex t year this numberwill be augmented by at least onemore.

We greatly regret to part withProfessorAndrews, who goes to assume the presideney of BrownUniversi ty.

Our ’89 delegation consists of four members, who are still uncertain whattheirwork willbeduring the coming year. Weexpect all the remainingmembers

334 DELTA upsi t ox cuss-n an .

of the chapterwill returnnext fall in that casewewill begin the termwithnineteenactivemembers.

Coum cmsnr waek was unusually interesting , and the exercises were in

every respect a decided success. Bro ther JohnW. Battin, ’

90, was on the programme for class day, as Pipe Custodian ofhis class. Membership to Phi BetaKappa was conferred on BrotherLeonard C. Crouch, ’89 , and Brother Bryant H .

Blood, ’89 , was unanimouslyelec ted to Sigma Xi. During theweek wehad thepleasure of entertaining a number of our alumni, among whomwere, DanielA.

Peirce,’82. Albert R. Warner,

’87, and George J. Tansey, '88. I t was decided at

ameeting of our alumni that we erect a chapterhouse on the campus, where, notlong since, we obtained a charming site. Wehavehad for the past year an editor

on the CornellMagazine and also one on the Cornell Sun. At the recent elect ionswe secured an editor on theMagazine and one on the Comllian Board for theensuing year.

Louis W . Emerick, ’

9 t , obtained the position as coxswain on the Cornellcrew, whichwon races at New Londonand Philadelphia.

Within the past year the Fraternities of Phi Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Phihave established chapters at Cornell; also recently a chapter of the Alpha PhiSororitywas established at Sage College,making in all fifteen fraternities at theuniversity, besides the four ladies’ societies.

MARIETTA COLLEGE

TheMarietta chaptercloses another year, feeling that ithas been one of pros

peri ty and improvement . During the last termwehave received quite a numberof honors, whichshow that we still occupy anenviable position inMarietta.

Our annual field day was held June 7th, and was very successful, several

previous records being broken. Wehad threemembers of the Committee on Preparations, BrotherWard being Secretary. Of thehonors we took a fair proportion; Brother Dickinson, ’89, won the tennis set oBelford,

’

92, the half-milewalk Beach, ’

9 t , the obstaclerace Morris throwing thehammer and second in

thehurdle race. Fornext yearwehave threemen on the base ball team.

Inclasshonorswewerenotquiteas successfulas usual, bu t secured a reasonableshare. Brothers Ward and Morris,

’

Dr. George R. Crooks, of Drew Seminary, delivered an address. Muchdisappointment was felt at the absence of Dr. C . W. Bennet, who, on account of ill

David Eugene Smith, Ph.D ’81 ; the poemwas written and read by Miss BerthaM . Bannister, ’86.

The Commencement exercises proper wereheld at theWieting OperaHouseonWednesdayafternoon. Thesewere of especial interest to Delta U. , as three out

of the sevenmen selec ted to represent the class weremembers of the Syracusechapter. Psi Upsilon, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Phi Delta Theta and the Neu tralshad eachone of the speakers. This is the onlyhonor given at Syracuse.

Inhonor of the late John Crouse, the donor of the new college, the Chancellor

among the finest of the occasion, and were a credit to themselves and the chapter.BrotherElmore was a firsthonorman.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY .

TheHarvard chapter recruited its ranks on May 1 7thby the initiation of

elevenmen— one Junior, six Sophomores and four Freshmen. The initiates weretreated to a dinner, whichwas the occasion of muchgood fellowship and

enthusiasmforDelta U. Delegations fromBrown and Taf t:attended, and a con

siderablenumber ofHarvard graduates brought the total upto eightymen. Thebanquetwasheld inourregularhallofmeeting , whichgaveampleaccommodation.

Brother Pillsbury filled the office of toast -masterwithhis usual graceful success,and, althoughthe occasionwas, as the toast -master remarked, “ neither a promenade concert nor a beer- garden performance, Brother Howard gave variety to

the exercises by scraping theviolin.

"

Harvard neverhad betterweather for class day than on Friday, June arst, norwere ever theexercises of the day better conducted or better appreciated. It is

confidentlybelieved byHarvardmen that nowhere in the countryis there a gathering of suchpretty girls, and so many of them, as class day brings. Their beliefwas stronger than ever on the evening of June zrst . Then the octave of thecarnivalwas reached. The yardwas tastefully and bountifullyhung withChineselanterns and illuminated withfire-works;while the BostonCadet Band discoursedsweetmusic, and, forhalf anhour, the ’Varsity glee club sang their latest songs.The Seniors of Delta U . have always

“spread together, and this year they

occupied fourlarge rooms on the first floor of UniversityHall. There they treatedtheir guestshandsomely, and theunder- classmenof the chapter— all of whomwereinvi ted— enjoyed this part of the pro gramme especially.

The Fraternityhas some solidmen in Harvard, ’89. Ten Delta U . menreceived degrees— two cumlaudc, Brothers Dunhamand Holliday; onemap-a amlaude, Brother Wait, and fourmum am laude, Brothers Bunker, Pillsbury,Warren andWright . Of three recipients ofhonors inhistory, BrotherWait was

one; and Brother Pillsburywas one of two men to receivehighest honors in thesame subject. In chemistry, Bro therWarren was one of two to receive highesthonors. In political science, Brother Bunkerwas one of two to receivehonors;and BrotherWright was the onlyman that got highest honors— a distinction no t

awarded since’

87 . Thus, out of twenty- five awards of honors among a class or

twohundred and two, fivewere to Delta U .men. Honorablemention is a dis

affirmtoomuchof one’s ownwork in theworld; and we know that our influencein the collegeworld cannothavehemgreat ; so we are contented withknow ingthat we shall share in the betterera whichseems to be beg inning in the GreekLetter life of theUniversity of Wisconsin. The great trouble, the one troubleofFraternity- lifehere is that the immature and boyishspiri thas controlled it u tterly;andwhile all the fraternitieshave alwayshadmany good men, theyhave been forthemost part content to see themanagement of their societies pass into thehandsof those least fi t to assume control and least able to appreciate the right relationsof a fraternity to its members and the college world. How far sucha state of

affairs is generalwecannot of course know ; but it is altogetherwrong , and DeltaUpsilonherehas worked steadfastly against it. We haveendeavored to so con

duct ourselves and our society as to recommend it to earnest andmaturemen.

We thinkwe are succeeding . The coming yearsmust provewhether our belief betrue or false; for that proof weare content to wait.

The yearhas seen manydecided advances in the afl'

airs of the University.

The Leg islature made liberal appropriations formany purposes, and althoughfinancial considerations stillhemus in, thework of the University is steadilyextending . Courses in Electrical and Railroad Eng ineering have been estab .

lished. The course inExperimental Psychologywill be rmderedmore satisfi e

tory by the addition of muchneeded apparatus. The faculty of the College of

Lawhashemstreng thmed and the coursemateriallychanged and improved. One

of the most noticeable improvements has hemin the standard of admission,whichhas been raised and made more thorough. The organization of theUniversity under the laws of the Statehas been changed and a more raticmaldivision of the courses introduced. A move of more doubtful goodhas beenmade in the offering of the degree of Doctor in Philosophy. No degrees

have yet been conferred, and its advantage will depend upon the care withwhichthis is done.

To come back to chapteraffairs, itmay bewell to note that the chapterhasrecmtly secured new rooms.more conveniently situated than the old ones, and

altogethermore satisfactory. Necessarynew furniture threatened uswithfinancialdiffi culties fora time, but one of our number fortunatelyhad sumcimt confidencein our credit to play capitalist. The chapter enjoyed a delightful visit fromsome half doamof our Northwestern fellows whm their ball nine came up for

theLeague games. I t is to behoped that these interchanges of visitingmay con

The Rev . Arthur T. Pierson, D .D . , pastor of Bethany Presbyterian Church,Philadelphia,has presentedhis res ignation, to take effect August rst. Dr. Pierson

has contemplated this change for severalmonths, but did notmake a finaldecisionuntilThursday.He g ives ashis reasons for the resignation thathehas been called

to the field of preparing young men for theministry. On Monday evening , June3d, Dr. Pierson stated that unless a lay college was founded in connection withBethanyChurch,he would resign,having been asked to take a professorship in a

theolog ical school inMassachusetts. Dr. Pierson, until lastJune,had an assistant,

but sincehashad the entire charge of the congregation. This,he has repeatedlystated, is toomuchforhis nervous system. The resignation of Dr. Pierson will
