"And the chain that stretches longer, Over land and sea, Binding faster, clasping stronger, Is our A K E. " In the spirit of these lines our Fraternity was founded and has grown. In that spirit I have col- lected upon the following pages some of the facts and figures that form the framework of the history of Theta Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon for the past sixty years, and have supplemented them with brief biographical sketches of its members. Fortunately the little volume goes into the hands of kindly critics, for it has many imperfections. The task of preparing it has been a labor of love, in which many alumni and undergraduate members have promptly and kindly answered the frequent calls I have made upon them, but the exactions of daily newspaper work have not allowed me the time I would gladly have spent upon it, and the subject itself is one with which it is difficult to deal successfully. The real history of our Fraternity is engraved upon the hearts of its individual members, and woven with bright colors into the fabric of their lives; it is not something that can be written upon paper. For each man the history is different; for all it is perfect and precious and something to be cherished while memory counts over its richest treasures. There are only a few things which the historian may deal with and dwell upon, and I hope that as these appear upon the following pages they will be of interest to all my fellow members — the "Delta Kaps" of an earlier generation whose heads, but not whose hearts, the frosts of years have touched, and the "Dekes" of later times in whose possession still remains that won- derful thing called youth. I hope that this volume may strengthen the bonds of our brotherhood; that its story of the early years, and the life record of our members may be an inspiration to those who are to follow us, and that it may bear a message of love and loyalty from Theta to the sister Chapters of our great Fraternity.

THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON 1844—1904 THETA CHAPTER of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity was established at Bow- doin College in the Fall of 1844. The story of its founding begins in a correspondence between John S. H. Fogg, Bowdoin, '46, and Elisha B. Shapleigh, Yale, '46. Both of these young men were natives of Eliot, Maine, and had together prepared for college in the old academy of that town. The latter, when a Junior at Yale, became one of the fifteen members of his class who founded the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity in June, 1844. That he should write all about this important event to his friend Fogg, at Bowdoin, was the most natural thing in the world; and that the latter, with his litfle circle of closest friends, should catch the spirit of the movement, followed as naturally. The letters which passed between them have not been preserved, but we know that there was such a correspondence and that as its result, Shapleigh and one of his associates, Edward G. Bartlett, whose home was in Portsmouth, 12 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. N. H., arranged for an early visit to Fogg at Bruns- wick. This visit was made in the first week of September, 1844. Bowdoin was then the victim of a summer term, with the end — and the Commence- two men ment, too — coming in September ; and PRon yale. the Yale men seized a time when vaca- tion at their own institution coincided with term time at Bowdoin, to come to Brunswick in furtherance of the matter which Shapleigh and Fogg had already discussed by letter. They travelled from Portsmouth to Brunswick by team, taking two days for the trip. On the first day they came as far as Portland, stopping for dinner at a famous old half-way hostelry, and passing through Kennebunk, Old Orchard and other little hamlets, long since grown into famous summer resorts. On the next day they completed their journey, and with the arrival on Bow- doin's campus of these two Yale men, filled with the mystery and importance of their errand, and wearing upon their waistcoats a Fraternity pin for the first time seen in Brunswick, began the tangible history of Theta Chapter of A K E. The object of this visit was not long to be kept a secret in the little College community. Prof. Packard, who was Shapleigh's cousin, received the young men with decided coolness, for the Faculty did not look with approval upon a new secret Fraternity — or upon the two recently established in the College, for that mat- ter — and was carried so far by his feeling that he TWO MEN FROM YALE. 1 3 refused Bartlett an invitation to a party he was about to give. Upon this, Shapleigh also declined to attend, and the two spent the evening in consultation with some of the proposed charter members. It cannot now be told where this consultation, and those which followed it in the next few days and evenings, were held. It is possible they were at the home of William F. Jackson, '46, since it was there that the formal organizaton of the Chapter was effected, two months later. The record of those preliminary meetings was never written, and the hands that could have written it have long since crumbled to dust. It is certain that the two Yale Juniors had a good time, and departed for their homes most favorably impressed with the Bowdoin men. A letter written by Bartlett, forty years later, bears witness to these facts, though there is no need of such evidence in view of the promptness with which the charter was granted when it was peti- tioned for, after the vacation. Although Theta Chapter of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity had its origin in the visit of Shapleigh and Bartlett to Brunswick during the Commencement season of 1844, it institution dates its actual existence as an organ- op ized body from Wednesday evening, theta chapter. November 6, 1844. It is true that November 1, 1844, is the date upon the faded parchment charter which has had a place of honor in the Chapter hall all these sixty years, yet November 6 was the date when the eleven charter members met for organization and were initi- 14 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. ated by Thomas D. Sherwood, the delegate from the Mother Chapter, Phi, at Yale, who came to Brunswick for that purpose. After the vacation was over and the Bowdoin stu- dents had settled down to the work of another college year, Fogg wrote to his friend Shapleigh at Yale. The reply is still sacredly preserved in the archives of Theta Chapter. It is dated October 17, 1844, and says : "I received your letter of the 14th, yesterday, and last evening laid it before the Society. Our secretary will inform you of our proceedings." Written upon the same sheet is a long letter from the secretary, Edward G. Bartlett, which refers to the letter received from Fogg as one whose object "appeared to be to ascertain whether or not you could obtain a Chapter of the A K E Society, Yale College." It goes on to express the willingness of the Yale Chapter to grant such a new Chapter, provided the petitioners at Bow- doin become an organized body, pledging themselves to be true to the secrets of A K E and to do all in their power to advance its interests. The writer also inquires particularly as to "the prospects of perpetuat- ing such a Society at Bowdoin, as we should be unwil- ling to have any Branch of A K E . expire inglori- ously." He then adds. "If you should conclude to become a part of us, and we feel assured that you will, we cordially invite any one of your number you may choose to send, to visit us and be regularly initiated," etc. This letter, being an official one on behalf of the Phi Chapter, is in a somewhat formal style and has no INSTITUTION OF THETA CHAPTER. 1 5 reference to the visit of the writer to Bowdoin, two months earlier. From its contents it is certain that it was the first communication received at Bowdoin from Yale relative to the establishment of a Chapter of A K E, if we except the personal letters which had passed between Shapleigh and Fogg, previous to the former's visit to Brunswick. The letter makes it equally plain that the establishment of a Chapter at Bowdoin was favorably considered by the Mother Chapter on the evening of Wednesday, October 16, 1844, when the letter of Fogg to Shapleigh, written October 14, was laid before it and discussed, with its request given the personal endorsement of Shapleigh and Bartlett. The answer to this letter must have been both prompt and satisfactory, for under date of October 30 another letter was sent from Yale to Bowdoin. This was addressed to F. L,. Knight, '46, and was signed by A. Everett Stetson. It stated that the request for a Chapter of A K E at Bowdoin had been granted and that T. D. Sherwood had been delegated to go to Brunswick, the following week to install the Chapter. Mr. Sherwood arrived in due time, and on Wednes- day evening, November 6, 1844, he met the prospective members at the room of W. F. Jackson, '46, and initiated them into A K E. That the initiation cere- monies of today differ in some of their details from those performed on that memorable evening, need hardly be stated. The eleven charter members of the Chapter were Lewis Goodrich and William Gates Dunlap of the l6 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. class of 1845, and Levi Loring Bradbury, Thornton Cutts Emery, Charles Henry Emerson, John Samuel Hill Fogg, Stephen Abbott Holt, William Francis Jackson, Francis Lafayette Knight, James Brown Thornton, and George Barnard Upham of the class of 1846. The Chapter was organized with the choice of Goodrich, president; Dunlap, vice president; Fogg, secretary; Jackson, corresponding secretary, and Emery, treasurer; while Dunlap and Knight were chosen to deliver the oration and poem at the next elec- tion of officers. A tax of $1.50 was assessed on each member as an initiation fee. It was voted that it be left with the Vale Chapter to name the new Chapter, and it was not until August of the following year that it was notified that it was to be known as the Theta Chapter. At that first meeting it was also voted that instead of the word "YALE" under the scroll on the pin, — or "badge" as it was then called, — there be inscribed the letters "BOWD." This odd abbrevia- tion of the name of the College actually appeared upon the pins until 1851 and then for twenty years or more they bore the full word "BOWDOIN." Jackson, Knight and Upham were chosen a committee to secure pins for the members and also to engage a suitable room as a meeting place. The eleven charter members of the Chapter, two Seniors and nine Juniors, were beyond ques- charter tion among the strongest men of the College members, at that time. They came of good families, were sound scholars and were active in undergraduate affairs. The early records and corre- THE CHARTER MEMBERS. IJ spondence show how earnestly and loyally they devoted themselves to the welfare of the Fraternity, and with what thoroughness and care they laid the firm founda- tion upon which have been built sixty years of unin- terrupted progress and prosperity. There were obstacles to overcome, but nothing daunted them. They were made of sturdy stuff, those Dekes of old, and the heritage of their invincible spirit has been an inspiration to the generations that have followed them. Lewis Goodrich, who was older than any of his asso- ciates, was the head of the new Chapter, and his name is the only one which appears upon the charter, the others being grouped as his "associates." In later years he gave his two sons to A- K E, both being members of the Sigma Chapter at Amherst. He spent his life in the Congregational ministry. Shortly before his death, which occurred in 1898, he wrote to the Chapter and sent it his picture which now hangs in the Chapter hall. The other charter member from the Senior class, William Gates Dunlap, was a mem- ber of the famous Dunlap family of Brunswick. After graduation he engaged in trade in Hawaii. He died in Olympia, Washington, in 1862. Three others of the charter members also died in the far West. They were Bradbury, a lawyer, who died in Montgomery, Texas, in i860, being the first of the charter members to die ; Emery, who was the only one of the eleven who did not remain to graduate, who died in California; and Emerson, a Congregational clergy- man, who died in Seattle, Washington, in 1902. The last named was the last survivor of the charter mem- l8 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. bers, and for fifty-eight years he maintained the warm- est interest in the Chapter and the Fraternity in general. He wrote frequently to the Chapter and kept closely in touch with its affairs. Only a few months before his death, being then eighty-four years of age, he wrote a long letter to the Chapter, congratulating it upon its beautiful new house and expressing his regret that he would never see it. The photograph of himself which he sent at that time is a treasured relic in the house. Three became physicians, Jackson, Fogg and Upham, and all enjoyed long years of usefulness among men. Jackson died in Boston in 1879; Fogg in Boston in 1893 ; and Upham in Yonkers, N. Y., in 1889. Upham was the only one of the charter mem- bers who was not a native of Maine. Fogg was really the leader in the establishment of the Chapter, for it was through his acquaintance with Shapleigh of Yale that the suggestion of a Chapter of A K E at Bow- doin was first made, and he opened the correspondence which brought about the desired result. He was also one of the delegates, Jackson being the other, sent to organize and initiate the Chapter at Waterville, and he was prominent in the correspondence which resulted in the establishment of Sigma Chapter at Amherst. His interest in the Fraternity was unabated to the end. His son was a member of the Alpha Chapter at Har- vard in the class of '73. In the closing years of his life, when he was helpless with paralysis, he found diversion in making one of the best collections of auto- graphs in America. This collection, valued at $25,000, he bequeathed to the Maine Historical Society. Like THE FIRST YEAR. 19 his friend Shapleigh, he represented one of Eliot's best old families, and for his benefactions his native town will always hold him in grateful remembrance. The remaining three, like Goodrich and Emerson, did faithful service in the Christian ministry. Knight, who ranked highest in scholarship among the eleven, died in Washington, D. C, in 1876 ; Holt, who gave up the ministry and became a prosperous merchant, died in Boston in 1895 ; and Thornton at Scarboro in 1888, being the only one of the eleven to end his days in the State where ten of them were born. It is worth noting that it was for Holt's use that Elijah Kellogg, then a young pastor at Harpswell and a warm personal friend of Holt, wrote his immortal declamation "Regulus to the Carthaginians." This was declaimed by Holt at the Junior Prize Speaking, August 25, 1845, winning the first prize. The first meeting of Theta Chapter, November 6, 1844, was held, as has been said, in the room of W. F. Jackson, '46. This room was at the home of THE his parents in Brunswick. The two subse- first quent meetings which were held that term . year, were also held here, and then the Chapter met in the hall, or "room" as it is always called in the records, which the committee had secured for the purpose. This room was engaged of "Mr. Cushing" so the records state, but its location cannot now be learned. It was occupied only until August, 1846, when a larger hall, with commodious anterooms, on the third floor of the old Dunlap Block on Maine Street, a building since replaced by the new Dunlap 20 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. Block, was engaged for the same rental, $20 per annum. This continued to be the meeting place of the chapter for twenty years. The room first engaged was fitted up at an expense of $28.03, °f which $17 was paid for chairs, $6.75 for a stove, $2.50 for lamps, 33 cents for a mat, 20 cents for a "lamp feeder," and 95 cents for postage. Later the luxury of a desk was added, "similar to that in Odd Fellows' hall." The meeting place of the Chapter in those early years was kept a profound secret from the world in general and from the other Fraternities in the College in particular, and the members were accustomed to go to it singly and by devious routes on the evenings when meetings were held. In the early years the meetings were held once in two weeks on Monday evenings, though special meetings were often called as circum- stances demanded. The regard in which attendance at meetings was held is shown by the fact that for many years a fine of 25 cents was imposed for each absence for which a good excuse was not presented, and the names of absent members were recorded in the minutes of each meeting. Theta Chapter began its existence with a member- ship of eleven, but this was quickly increased. At the same meeting when the Chapter was organized, November 6, 1844, three members of the class of '47, then Sophomores, were elected to membership, Jona- than Greenleaf Eveleth, Samuel Wesley Hatch and Charles Henry Wheeler; and at the second meeting, November 11, Napoleon Bonapart Ward, of the same class, was added to the number. These four students THE FIRST YEAR. 21 were initiated on the following evening, November 12; or, in the words of the record, "having taken the affirmation of secrecy, received the right hand of fel- lowship from the Fraternity and signed the constitu- tion, were constituted brethren by our mystic band." This first initiation took place in the room of Jackson where the earlier meetings had been held. It was the last regular meeting held there, though special meet- ings were occasionally held there through the follow- ing year. No members were added during the following Winter months, but, April 7, 1845, Anson Gancello Stinchfield, '47, was initiated. Early in the Summer term, July 14, six more members were admitted. They were Isaac Stevens Metcalf, '47, and Isaac Winslow Case, Edmund Hayes, Samuel Fisher Humphrey, Lafayette Grover, and Eliphalet Franklin Packard, all from the class of '48. This raised the membership of the Chapter to twenty-two, but as the constitution then provided that the number of members in a Chapter should at no time exceed eighteen and should ordinarily be only fifteen, the Chapter had passed a by-law, June 16, with the somewhat remark- able provision that no person should be regarded as a "constitutional member" until the last term of Sopho- more year. This resulted in a peculiar state of affairs within the Chapter which was relieved, however, when the Mother Chapter in October, 1845, agreed to a change in the constitution making the limit twenty-two members instead of eighteen. At the first Convention of the Fraternity, held at Yale, December 23, 1846, the 22 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. clause limiting the membership of a Chapter was stricken from the constitution. With the membership of Theta at twenty-two when the end of the first college year was reached, it sus- tained its first loss in the graduation of Goodrich and Dunlap and the withdrawal of Emery from College on account of ill health. There is an interesting story connected with the manner in which the existence of Theta of A K E was first made known to the other students story at Bowdoin. It was the purpose of the of founders to keep the existence of the Chap- the pins, ter a secret until the beginning of the Spring term when they proposed to appear in public for the first time wearing their pins. A vote to this effect was passed at the first meeting. But the secret came out in the most unexpected manner through the ordering of the pins from the New Haven jewellers who had made those for Phi Chapter at Yale. The letter was sent to Dury & Peck, booksellers, instead of to Brown & Kirby, jewellers, the mistake being that of Sherwood who gave the Bowdoin men the wrong address. Dury & Peck could not understand its con- tents, but seeing that it concerned jewellry they took it to Brown & Kirby who occupied a neighboring store. This firm, finding Sherwood's name in it, sent it to his room in the Yale yard to get more information on the mysterious commission which it contained. Sherwood happened to be out, but his roommate was in, and that young man was a member of Psi Upsilon. The open letter was left there to await Sherwood's STORY OF THE PINS. 23 return, and the roommate, forgetting certain ethical principles with which, as a Yale Junior, he was pre- sumably acquainted, proceeded to read it. It is easy to imagine his amazement at its contents. The new society, which, though less than six months old, was proving a worthy rival of the two older societies at Yale, had become more than a local affair and had entered the world of intercollegiate Greek-letter Fra- ternities by establishing a Chapter at Bowdoin ! Pos- sibly, as this intelligence dawned upon him, there flashed across his mind visions of the coming years with A K E the greatest and strongest of them all, standing the acknowledged head of college Fraterni- ties. But whatever else he thought of, he did not think to tell Sherwood that he had read the letter, and he lost no time in informing his Psi Upsilon brethren of his startling discovery. They in turn hurried a letter off to Kappa Chapter of Psi Upsilon at Bow- doin, and this communication is understood to have been the first intimation to others at the College that A K E was in existence at Bowdoin, though it had certainly been suspected that a movement for a Chapter was on foot. The matter of the pins was straightened out in due time and they arrived early in March, 1845 > an d although their appearance did not cause the surprise that had been hoped for, they were worn with none the less pride. And from that day to this, the diamond bearing "the stars and scroll and the mystic letters three" has been proudly and worthily worn by the sons 24 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. of Theta, both on old Bowdoin's campus and through- out the length and breadth of the land. One of the first important things which Theta of A K E proceeded to do as soon as it was firmly established was to take steps toward establishment forming a Chapter of the Fraternity of xi chapter. at Colby — then Waterville — College. A search of the records and corre- spondence of that period brings out the curious fact, however, that the Chapter at Waterville is not so old by a year as it is commonly credited with being. The General Catalogue of the Fraternity states that the Chapter was chartered June 25, 1845, anQl that, to be sure, is the date which the charter bears. The Chapter even celebrated its semi-centennial during the Com- mencement week of June, 1895, with public exercises which included a history, an oration and a poem by dis- tinguished alumni, and a splendid gathering of its loyal members from far and near. But in the interests of historical accuracy it should be stated that XL Chapter was not established, nor, in fact, petitioned for, until June, 1846, a fact which is easily enough demonstrated. The mistake doubtless arose from a mistake in dating the charter. This document was not made out and given to the Chapter until the convention which was held at Yale, December 23, 1846, and in filling in the date somebody blundered and wrote "1845" instead of "1846." If the mistake was noticed it was never corrected ; and as years passed by and few bothered to make themselves familiar with ESTABLISHMENT OF XI CHAPTER. 25 1 the early records, it was natural that the date borne by the charter was accepted without question. Among the old letters filed away in the archives of Theta, the first referring to a proposition to establish a Chapter at Waterville is one from J. G. Eveleth, '47, who was teaching in Lisbon, to W. F. Jackson, '46. It is dated October 11, 1845, and states that the writer has communicated with Hatch at Waterville, "who, you know, is a good scholar and a good fellow," — showing the early A K E ideal, — in the matter of introducing a Chapter at Waterville ; and that "Hatch has talked it over with some of the best fellows in Waterville who highly approve of the plan and will take hold with heart and hand." Eveleth goes on to say that no society has yet been established there and the time is favorable if prompt action is taken. The next letter is one to Jackson from Hatch, under date of October 29, 1845. Hatch was teaching in Sid- ney, but had visited Waterville after hearing from Eveleth and writes that he "disclosed the affair with due caution," with the result that "there are now six of us in the arrangement" — Drummond, Starkey, True, Ware, Palmer and himself. "We think it best, if a Chapter is to be established at Waterville, that it be done as soon as practicable. If six of us are not enough to be united, we will have' more forthwith." This letter was followed November 6, 1845 — when Theta was exactly one year old, — by one to Jackson from Josiah H. Drummond who confined himself mainly to overcoming the fears of the Bowdoin men that Faculty opposition would endanger the success of 26 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. a Chapter in Waterville. He said that the article in the college laws forbidding secret societies was aimed at "rowdy societies which formerly prevailed to such a degree at Waterville, and did not have in view such societies as A K E. We are willing to take the risk. I think the Faculty is not so blinded as not to allow such a society. I think I know they have the interests of the college too much at heart to put us down." He did not think it was necessary to petition the college overseers, as had evidently been suggested in Jackson's letter, and signed himself "yours in the anticipation of a close bond of brotherhood." While this correspondence was going on, the Phi Chapter had been communicated with on the subject by the members of Theta. At first the answer was unfavorable. Under date of November 14, 1845, Thomas Y. Simmons of the Yale Chapter wrote : "Our Branch is of the opinion that it would not be productive of any benefit to the Fraternity, and would prefer it not being put into effect." Then more persuasive letters were sent from Brunswick to New Haven and the cor- responding secretary of Phi wrote, January 7, 1846: "We have reconsidered our decision regarding the establishment of a Branch at Waterville, and upon your representation of the advantages have passed a resolu- tion authorizing you to found a Branch there." This letter reached Brunswick during the long Winter vacation which then prevailed and it was not until the evening of Wednesday, February 25, 1846, that it was read to the members of Theta in meeting assembled. The matter was discussed and it was ESTABLISHMENT OF XI CHAPTER. 2"J voted to defer action until a later meeting. The records of the Chapter do not mention the subject again until we come to those of May 14 when there is this important entry: "The question of establishing a Chapter of the Society at Waterville was then dis- cussed, and on motion of Hawkins it was voted to establish a Chapter there, provided that matters shall appear favorable. Metcalf and Hayes were chosen a committee to visit Waterville in the vacation and make arrangements about the affair." The visit was made, and doubtless matters appeared favorable, for at the first meeting of the Summer term, June 17, 1846, Jack- son and Fogg were appointed a committee to go to Waterville and establish a Chapter, the cautious clause "if practicable" being added to their instructions. In the meantime urgent letters had been coming from Waterville. Hatch wrote, May 16, that he was anxious to know of the conclusion reached regarding a Chapter at Waterville. He said : "There is an influence here in favor of Psi Upsilon. There is con- siderable said about forming a Chapter of that here, and we can give no answer to those wishing us to enter the scheme with them until we have an answer as to the A K E." On June 8, Drummond wrote a letter ci much the same tenor, mentioning also his earnest desire that the Chapter be formed as soon as possible, since he and one other of the prospective members would graduate, two months later. He also dwelt upon the efforts of Psi Upsilon to get into the college first, and expressed the fear that some of "our fellows" might get tired of waiting and join that. 28 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. This letter was followed by the formal petition for a Chapter at Waterville. It is dated June 22, 1846, is addressed "To the President and other Officers and Brethren of the A K E Society, Theta Chap., Bowd. Coll.," and is signed by George R. Starkey, (in whose copperplate chirography the petition is drawn), Josiah H. Drummond, David S. True, Henry I. Ware, Horatio Q. Butterfield, Ephriam W. Young, G. M. D. L. Palmer, and Walter M. Hatch. Upon receipt of this petition, and spurred to prompt and decisive action by the warning of Psi Upsilon's attempt to get ahead of them, Jackson and Fogg, as authorized by the Chapter proceeded to Waterville, and on the evening of Thursday, June 25, 1846, initiated the petitioners into the mysteries of A K E and insti- tuted the Chapter. The meeting was held in No. 27, North College, since destroyed by fire. Three men were initiated who were not among the petitioners, Stephen L. Bowler, Alexander Gamble and Benjamin W. Dean; while two of the petitioners, Palmer and True, were not present and were initiated by the Chapter a little later. In the records of Theta for the meeting of July 8, 1846, appears this entry: "The com- mittee chosen to establish a Chapter of the Society at Waterville College then reported that they visited Waterville for that purpose and initiated nine members of that college into the fellowship of Delta Kappa Epsilon." Thus was born Xi of A K E, the pioneer in the Fraternity system at Colby, and always since its estab- lishment a strong and loyal Chapter of our great EARLY INCIDENTS. 2Q. brotherhood. It was the fourth Chapter of A K E, Zeta at Princeton, established in August, 1845, being the third. The relations between Theta and Xi have always been close and cordial. In the records of Theta for September 2, 1846, we find the following mention of the institution of a most commendable cus- tom : "The meeting was rendered peculiarly pleasant by the presence of Brothers Bowler, Fairbanks, Gamble, Hatch, True, Ware, Butterfield and Young of the Waterville Chapter who all expressed them- selves as highly gratified by the exercises of the even- ing." It was on the occasion of this visit to Bow- doin that the members of the new Chapter first appeared in public wearing their pins. A little later a delegation ,f rom Theta attended a meeting of Xi ; and many the visits and still more frequent the exchanges of letters in the years that followed. The records of Theta's early meetings abound in references to occasions when there was "a feast of reason and a flow of wit," but the first early "feed," in the modern acceptance of the incidents, term, in which the young Chapter indulged, was on the evening of September 3, 1845. It was the last meeting of the Summer term and con- sequently the last meeting of the Chapter's first year, and it was made a gala occasion in various ways. Four honorary members, all young alumni, were initiated, of whom we will speak later; there was an oration on "The Connection Between Religion and Politics," by Dunlap, '45, "even more than fulfilling the expectations of the most zealous ;" also a poem by 30 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. Knight, '46, "displaying much originality of thought and power of imagination ; * * * * after which liter- ary feasts the Society administered to their physical wants from a splendid collation prepared by the com- mittee previously appointed." The imagination is not forced to a difficult or unpleasant task when it pictures the scene. The records of the meeting go on to state the interesting fact that "the festivities of the evening were much heightened by the presence of two of our Yale breth- ren, Messrs. Shapleigh and Bartlett, who joyously par- took with us in our feasts of fat things, literary and convivial." These brothers had both visited Bowdoin before in the interests of forming the Chapter, but as this was the first time that a member of Phi had been at Bowdoin since Sherwood came to institute Theta Chapter, it is the first instance in the history of A K E where members of one Chapter visited another. It was just a year earlier than the visit of the eight Colby brethren, referred to on a previous page, which was doubtless the second instance of the kind. On the second anniversary of its establishment, November 6, 1846, Theta received the first addition to its membership from the ranks of a sister Chapter. This was in the person of Henry I. Ware, '47, one of the charter members of Xi, who had severed his con- nection with Waterville College and become a stu- dent at Bowdoin. He was at once elected to member- ship in Theta and warmly welcomed into the full fel- lowship of the Chapter. He was the first of twelve EARLY INCIDENTS. 31 members of Xi who have come to Bowdoin and affili- ated with Theta Chapter. The first Convention of the A K E Fraternity was held with Phi at New Haven, December 23, 1846, and Theta sent as delegates Isaac S. Metcalf and Henry I. Ware, both of '47. The Fraternity consisted at that time of four Chapters besides the Mother Chapter at Yale, Theta at Bowdoin, Zeta at Princeton, Xi at Colby and Sigma at Amherst, the last named being only a month old. The Bowdoin delegates related to their brethren at the meeting of February 15, 1847, the doings of the Convention. The con- stitution was amended in several important respects ; the Chapter officers were given the desig- nations by which they have since been known; the initiation ritual was enlarged and improved; charters were given by Phi to the four Chapters which up to that time had existed and done business without any such written authority; and by the gath- ering and conference of the delegates the Fraternity was strengthened in every respect. The first break made by death in the ranks of A K E at Bowdoin, or in the whole Fraternity, for that matter, came when Henry I. Ware, '47, spoken of above as coming from Xi Chapter and as a dele- gate to the first Convention, died of consumption at his home in Athens in July, 1847. He had nearly com- pleted his college course, but failing health compelled him to give up and go to his home in the Spring of 1847. To all in the Chapter his death was that of a brother and the mentions of it in the records are such 32 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. that no doubt is left of the depth of the sorrow felt by his fellow members. For the first time crepe was worn upon the pins of the Fraternity. A constitu- tional amendment was discussed, providing for such an outward mark of respect and sorrow in case of a deceased brother, and there was correspondence con- cerning it among the Chapters, but finally it was decided that it would destroy its highest significance if it were made a constitutional obligation. Under date of October 12, 1847, a letter was received from Phi Chapter, enclosing resolutions of respect and sympathy passed at the first meeting after the Summer vacation, and stating that it had been voted that all members should wear crepe on their badges for a period of thirty days. This speaks most eloquently of the closeness of the bond between the Chapters in those early years. The second death in the Chapter, and the third in the Fraternity at large, was that of Edmund Hayes, '48. At the end of his Junior year, while holding the highest office in the Chapter, he was compelled by ill health to give up his college work and travelled in the West. At two o'clock on the morning of August 2, 1848, while landing from a steamboat at Cleveland, Ohio, he lost his footing, fell into the lake and was drowned. By a sad coincidence, he died on the day when his class was receiving its final examinations before graduation. The news reached Brunswick, August 4, and a special meeting of the Chapter was at once called at which fitting resolutions were passed and the pins ordered draped for a period of fifteen OUR HONORARY MEMBERS. __ 33 I days. A younger brother of the deceased was a mem- ber of the Chapter at that time. The matter of the election of honorary members early engaged the attention of Theta Chapter. We read in the records of June 16, 1845, that a commit- our * ee was ^at evening appointed to consider honorary the advisability of admitting such members. nEHBERs. This committee communicated with the Mother Chapter at Yale upon the subject, and at the meeting of August 13 a letter from Phi, written July 31, was read in which it was stated that a by-law had been adopted, providing for honorary members but limiting them to the graduates of the college where the Chapter was located. This authority was all that Theta was waiting for, and it promptly elected four young alumni to honorary membership. They were initiated, September 3, 1845, at the last meeting of Theta's first year. On this occasion, as related earlier, the Chapter indulged in its first ban- quet and the festivities were honored by the presence of two members of the Phi Chapter. The honorary members initiated that evening, were James Drum- mond, '36, Leonard P. Merrill, '42, Albion W. Knight, '41, and Thomas J. W. Pray, '44. During the next two or three years many honorary members were elected. By some unaccountable over- sight the General Catalogue of the Fraternity, issued in 1890, gives the names of only five of Theta's hon- orary members, and doubtless this circumstance has deceived many of our younger alumni as to the facts of the case, particularly as the same error was made in 34 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. the Catalogue of 1900 and in other lists that have been published. As a matter of fact the total number of Theta's honorary members is twenty-six of whom three are now living. The records are plain enough in this matter. The date of election is known in each instance, and in many cases the letters of acceptance are on file in the archives. Some of the earlier honorary members were initiated with the same ceremonies that marked the reception of undergraduate members, and like them signed their names to the constitution and by-laws. Some of them frequently attended the meetings of the Chapter and took part in its exercises. Thus at the meeting of September 2, 1846, — the meeting, as it happened, when letters accepting honorary membership were read from Seba Smith, '18, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, '25, — an oration was delivered by Leonard P. Merrill, '42, and a poem by Albion W. Knight, '41, who had been initi- ated as honorary members, a year earlier. Some of the honorary members were relatives of undergrad- uates; some lived in Brunswick; some were in the Medical School; and some were teachers in prepara- tory schools where the infant Chapter evidently felt that a good word in its behalf would not be amiss. Of the twenty-six honorary members, nineteen were elected in the first three years of the Chapter's exist- ence; one was elected in 1858, and six in 1869, when the general Convention of the Fraternity was held at Bowdoin. Thus thirty-five years have passed since Theta Chapter elected an honorary member, and the possibility that the number will ever be added to is ?Uy e^- •4^£^ ' ^ .-&L A fee, t^t yd*~~^ t^. z^L*^* ^ fey ^ J^_, HAWTHORNE'S LETTER ACCEPTING HONORARY MEMBERSHIP. OUR HONORARY MEMBERS. 35 precluded by a change in the Fraternity constitution made by the general Convention a year or two ago. At first each Chapter could elect its honorary mem- bers as it pleased, the only restriction being that they should be graduates of the college where it was located. In May, 1847, by consent of the Phi Chapter, the con- stitution was amended so that the concurrent vote of two-thirds of the other Chapters was made necessary to the electon of an honorary member by any Chapter, At the same time the clause restricting such members to the alumni of the college was repealed. The reason why this latter change was made is apparent in Theta's prompt election and initiation of S. Augustus Lord, a graduate of Dartmouth, '43, then attending the Bow- doin Medical School. Nevertheless, of Theta's twenty-six honorary members, twenty were graduates of Bowdoin, and three of the others later received hon- orary degrees from Bowdoin. It is interesting to note that these honorary members have given thirteen sons to active membership in the Fraternity, seven of the sons being members of Theta Chapter, three of Alpha at Harvard, two of Phi at Yale, and one of Sigma at Amherst. Three of our honorary members are still living: George F. Dunning, a Brunswick citizen, long in gov- ernment service and now residing at Farmington, Conn.; Josiah L. Pickard, '44, whose four brothers became active members of A K E and whose life has been spent in educational work in the West; and Eugene Hale, United States Senator from Maine since 1881, who was elected to honorary membership in 1869, 36 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. the year that his brother, who was an active member of Theta, graduated from Bowdoin. Brief sketches of each of the twenty-six are given in the membership catalogue later in this volume. Our Fraternity no longer sanctions the election of honorary members, and in these days when A K E is great and powerful, the restriction is a wise one. But in the early days — and it is well to remember that nearly all of Theta's honorary members were elected in the first three years of its life, and none more recently than thirty-five years ago — it was undoubt- edly a source of strength to have the help and friend- ship of a few young alumni who were active and influential. Rivalries were stronger then; there was Faculty opposition, and in many ways the Chapter had much more to contend with than in later years. The election of honorary members was not the selection of a few famous names to bolster up the Chapter, for it will be observed that practically all of Theta's honor- ry members who have become famous won their suc- cess and distinction after, and not before, their election to A K E, thus giving the Fraternity much greater reason to be proud of their connection with it. Thus John A. Andrew was elected to honorary mem- bership in Theta of A K E fifteen years before he became war governor of Massachusetts; Nathaniel Hawthorne, long before he wrote his immortal master- pieces; Eugene Hale, before Maine ever sent him to Washington ; John Searle Tenney, ten years before he became Chief Justice of Maine; James G. Blaine, before he became a great leader in national politics; EARLY CORRESPONDENCE. 37 and Josiah L. Pickard, forty years before he became a university president. Frequently throughout this history there are refer- ences to the early correspondence of Theta Chapter. It is a matter of congratulation that early the letters received from other correspondence. Chapters and from individuals were faithfully preserved; and half a doztn years ago, a special committee on the archives, of which the leading spirit and chief worker was Arthur Huntington Nason, '99, carefully arranged these letters in files by years, making them easy of access and putting at the disposal of the Fraternity his- torian almost Unlimited material. This material is largely of more direct interest to the general Fraternity, or to certain other Chapters, since the correspondence pfs- ived is of necessity one-sided, and the early let- ters sent out by Theta, Which would be priceless in the preparation of a work of this kind, are not available. Nevertheless the letters received in those first years, however indirectly many of them bear on the history Of our own Chapter, are of absorbing interest. They show the loyalty that from the first characterized mem- bers of A K E; the tireless activity in Fraternity affairs; the determination not to be outdone by any rival ; and the progressive spirit that put our Fraternity at the front and kept it there. The letters were often many pages long, discussing in detail and with the greatest freedom affairs in the Chapter and in the col- lege. Of course, in later years when the Chapters were more numerous, the letters were often formal and per- 38 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. functory, containing merely the list of officers or a few lines as to conditions and prospects; but for the first decade or more, though the Chapters were scattered from Maine to Tennessee and Mississippi, the bond between them was so close that the letters were as those of the members of a family separated for a time. The power of the Mother Chapter, Phi, was almost absolute in those days, and the respect paid her by the others was only equalled by the benignity of her rule. Only three general Conventions were held in the first decade, and the matter of new Chapters, honorary members, constitutional changes and almost all affairs relating to the general Fraternity were arranged by letter. This correspondence was to the young Fra- ternity what the Council and Quarterly have become to it in its years of maturity and power. The war time correspondence is referred to elsewhere. After the war, with the increase in the number of Chapters and the holding of yearly Conventions, there were not many such letters exchanged as in the old times. There were elaborate resolutions announcing the death of alumni members, and printed forms filled in with the list of officers, but the files show few other communi- cations. If they were received there was certainly less care in their preservation. Then came the Quarterly with its articles and Chapter letters, which, for oyer a score of years, has kept the chapters in close touch with each other and with A K E affairs much better than could any system of correspondence in a Fra- ternity of our size. EARLY CORRESPONDENCE. 39 Let us glance through the old files at a few of the many letters treasured there. The letters from Yale relative to the establishment of a Chapter at Bowdoin have been earlier referred to. After the Chapter was organized, November 6, 1844, the first communication it received was one from the Phi Chapter, November 29, which began as follows : "The prosperity of A K E at Bowdoin being a matter of the greatest concern to her elder sister at Yale, the Society has thought best that a correspondence should regularly be kept up between the kindred two. Accordingly they have directed their corresponding secretary to enquire into the condition of your Branch, how it takes with the other Societies and members of college, and what in short your prospects are." In concluding, the letter says: "There is not one of our members who would not lend heart and hand to your cause, and the prayer of each is that you may prosper. I will only add that the prospects of A K E at old Yale are bright." The letter is signed by Thomas I. Franklin, one of the charter members of Phi. Thus did the Mother Chapter from the very first show tenderest solicitude for her offspring, and thus was begun the intimate correspond- ence which continued for years between Phi and Theta and with each of the others as they were in turn estab- lished. Under date of June 8, 1845, Thomas D. Sherwood writes of his pleasant memories of his visit to Bow- doin, the previous November, when he came as the delegate of Phi to establish Theta. He goes on to say: "It is also a source of gratification to me to 40 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. consider that my visit there was also the humble instrument of so much good to the Society at Yale. It delights us here to learn of your success ; and that from being at first a worthy and able rival of the other Societies of much 'greater antiquity,' you now bear off the palm; that is, if report sayeth aright. The fact is this. One of our members chanced to meet in his ramblings during the last vacation a student from Bowdoin. Talking of Societies, as is natural for all students, the gentleman from Bowdoin remarked that there was a new Society that was going altogether ahead of the other two. The gentleman wore no pin. He might have been a member of A K E. I hope he was not, for the sake of the story; and' if he was, I hope and trust that what he said is true." The letter concludes with an urgent invitation to send a represen- tative down to the initiation at Yale, early in July. The establishment of the third Chapter of the Fra- ternity, the Psi Chapter at Princeton, later known as the Zeta Chapter, was announced to Theta in a letter from Phi, September 3, 1845. It was organized by Thomas Y. Simmons, Yale, '47, who went to Princeton for the purpose, the previous week. He writes: "I was successful beyond my fondest anticipations ; not that I deemed it impossible, but I thought the attain- ment of such an object would have presented many impediments and obstacles. This Branch has been established solely in the Senior class of whom I had the pleasure of initiating ten into the brotherhood and mysteries of A K E * * * * Their Branch has been entitled the Psi Branch." Three weeks later came EARLY CORRESPONDENCE. 41 the first letter from this new Chapter at Princeton, in reply to one sent by Theta, giving a list of members and explaining the local society system of Princeton. A hall, formerly occupied by a Masonic Lodge, had been rented by the Chapter, and it felt that its prospects were rosy. There was no hint of the Faculty opposi- tion that soon after killed the Chapter. A letter sent by Thomas Y. Simmons of Phi, Octo- ber 3, 1845, makes it plain that the suggestion of a Chapter at Amherst was first made by the members of Theta, and doubtless by Fogg, '46, to whom the letter was addressed. The letter states that the suggestion "meets with our most hearty approbation." Upon receipt of this letter, Fogg at once wrote to his friend, O. H. White, at Amherst, for the files preserve a letter from White, written October 18, 1845, " m re Pty to your letter of October 6." This letter states that White and "a few confidential friend's" had examined the matter carefully and had found a few obstacles in the way of establishing a new Society at Amherst at that time. The chief obstacle seemed to be that the existing Societies had charters from the college trustees whose next meeting was an indefinite time in the future. For this reason it was deemed best to defer action for a time. In concluding, White wrote : "We shall hold ourselves in readiness for the establishment of said Society or soon as it can be done with certainty of success so as to be an honor to yourselves and to us. Wie want to be sure it will live, and not only live, but be the best Society in college. Then we are ready to go ahead." This was the beginning, and a year later 42 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. Sigma of A K E was established. The first letter received from Sigma is dated February 18, 1847, and signed by Louis P. Ledoux. It is of considerable length and has a most interesting account of condi- tions at Amherst. Another letter from Thomas Y. Simmons in Octo- ber, 1845, gives authority to Theta Chapter to initiate Allen H. Weld as an honorary member on behalf of Phi Chapter. Mr. Weld was a graduate of Yale in the class of '34, and in 1845 was teaching in Maine at North Yarmouth Academy. There is nothing in the records, however, to show that the initiation ever took place. A letter received the same month, from N. B. Ward, '47, who had left Bowdoin and was attending a medical school in Baltimore, states that he had been looking over St. Mary's College in that city as a pos- sible field for a Chapter of A K E. He was not particularly impressed but proposed to make further investigations. In the section of this history relating to the estab- lishment of Xi Chapter at Colby the correspondence was frequently referred to and quoted from. The first letter after the establishment of Xi was from George R. Starkey, June 27, 1846, and its stately style, as well as its subject matter, makes it worth quoting here: "It is meet that we should take this early opportunity to express our gratitude to your particular brotherhood through whose exertions and instrumentality we have obtained the privileges and honors to be derived from a connection with the A K E Society. Truly it should be a matter of congratulation to ourselves that EARLY CORRESPONDENCE. 43 we are able to claim kindred with congenial souls and have that claim allowed. For an account of the auspices under which a fourth Chapter of youf order has been opened we must refer you to your honorable committee by whose courteous services we were enabled to establish it." The letter speaks later of having ordered twelve pins to bear "the character designating our Chapter, rather than the name of the college abbreviated ;" and closes : "Adieu ; yours truly on behalf of the Chapter at Waterville, Geo. R. Starkey." Evidently the Chapter was not given its designation as "Xi" at the time of establishment. Probably that was a detail attended to by the Mother Chapter at Yale. We have seen that our own Chapter was not known as "Theta" until ten months after its establishment. The second letter received from the young Chapter at Waterville was from Josiah H. Drummond, under date of July i, 1846. Although the Chapter was only a week old, the writer, with the zeal and thoroughness that characterized his life work, was seeking light on various parts of the constitution, and asked the Bow- doin brethren to give their construction of several articles. At the end of his letter we find some inter- esting comment upon the unsuccessful attempt which Psi Upsilon had made to get into Colby ahead of A K E. He goes on to say: "They may be trying now, and on account of this suspicion we shall hurry our movements in regard to the Freshmen. Baker tried some of our fellows but they were already pledged to us. If we get the first choice in the Freshman class, 44 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. all they can possibly get will not begin to compare with our fellows, either in character or scholarship. I want to see Ellis when he hears of the Chapter at this college. 'Twould be worth ten years of peaceful life to see his indignation and rage." Probably the two men referred to were Joseph W. Ellis, Bowdoin, '46, and William M. Baker, Bowdoin, '47, both members of Psi Upsilon. A particularly bree2y letter is that from E. P. Abbe of the Phi Chapter, August 14, 1846. It calls Theta "our dearest offspring, the apple of our eye;" refers to Harvard as "a Boston High School ;" declares "we have the finest fellows of the whole college ;" and pays respect to Psi Upsilon as "a feeble folk who have taken the offscouring of our class." There is a letter from Henry Hitchcock of Phi, May 7, 1847, which showed that the ethics of the early years allowed considerable latitude in the matter of prying into the affairs of rival Fraternities, as various mottoes and grips are explained with much detail and relish. The first letter from the young Chapter at Nashville, June 1, 1847, relates that by some mistake the seal of the Chapter bore the letter "Tau" instead of "Gamma," and there seemed to b". doubt in the mind, of the writer whether it would be easier to get another seal or change the designation of the Chapter. James Wheeler Raynor, Amherst, 48, one of the charter members of Sigma, in a long letter June 2, 1847, writes: "Our present object is to lay the foun- dations of our Chapter deep and strong and broad, on which we hope to see arise a structure beautiful and EARLY CORRESPONDENCE. 45 majestic, possessed of the grace of the Parthenon, and enduring as the imperishable granite." How well that foundation was laid and how fully those hopes were realized are attested by the Sigma of today. Another letter from Amherst in October, 1847, tells now Alpha Delta Phi and Psi Upsilon were seeking to injure or destroy the young Chapter by urging its best members to forsake it and join them. "You are too smart men to be dragging that little Society up hill," said the tempter on one occasion, whereupon the loyal member of Sigma, warmly resenting the insulting proposal of the rival Fraternity, retorted: "Sir! you shall see the day of our prosperity ! We shall exist as long as you, for more than one hundred men have sworn it in different parts of our land!" Sigma Chapter has long since arrived at the top of the hill, both literally and figura- tively, and its rivals have learned the truth of that earnest prophecy. The first Fraternity established at Waterville as a rival of A K E was Zeta Psi in 1850. In the years between 1846 and 1850 there were various attempts and still more frequent rumors of attempts to organize a rival Society. In a letter from Mark H. Dunnell, Xi, '49, March 15, 1848, the following interesting little incident is related: "Mr. Townsend, the gentleman of color in our college, took a very decided stand against our Society. He wrote to many colleges in the United States for a Chapter of some secret society to act as a rival to the A K E. He failed in all his efforts and finally formed a clique of his own choice. It held a meeting a few evenings since in his room. 46 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. The order of exercises were a pack of cards and a bottle of brandy. At the close of the exercises, when they were fully imbued with a spirit more ardent than intellectual, they received very unexpectedly a call from Prof. Loomis. He found them quite humble; and Jonas, the Prince of Darkness, has since gradu- ated — with what honors I will not say." In justice to Zeta Psi it should be stated that it does not claim to date its existence at Waterville from this event. A letter from Phi Chapter, May 30, 1848, states that the first movement to establish a Chapter at Har- vard had been given up because it was found that such a Chapter could not be established "without per- mitting the Legislature of Massachusetts to overlook our constitution. This is the law at Harvard and we think our other Chapters will sustain us in refusing to agree to such a condition." In 1848 there was a scare among the Fraternities at Bowdoin over Faculty opposition which for a time made their future very problematical. The apprehen- sions of Theta must have been expressed with consid- erable earnestness in its letters to the other Chapters, for in replies received from the Chapters at Yale, Amherst and Nashville there are the most solicitous prayers for the safety of Theta, mingled with impreca- tions upon the Faculty for its attitude, and appeals to the members of the Chapter to "stand by the gallant vessel as long as she can show a rag of canvas to the gale and if needs be go down with her with colors nailed to the mast." There is scarcely need to record the fact that the storm proved a small affair which EARLY CORRESPONDENCE. 47 I soon blew over, but it was enough of a crisis to bring out the mettle of the young Chapter and the strength of the Fraternity bond. In a letter from the Amherst Chapter, October 19, 1849, the following story is told of one of its ancient rivals : "They attempted to produce an impression in their favor among the new members of the college by persuading some young ladies to wear their badge at the president's levee. But alas! the poor fellows overshot the mark and their dishonorable conduct only served to disgust those whom it was designed to attract. The whole affair was a most ludicrous one, both in its progress and consequences." No chapter in those early days sent longer or more interesting letters than Gamma at Nashville, and one of the best of its correspondents was Henry Maney, Jr., '50. In the last of his letters, March 5, 1850, he describes most vividly the opposition which Gamma, the only Fraternity at Nashville, had to endure, an opposition which went so far that half the students in the college formed an "Anti-Delta Association" with the avowed purpose of killing the Chapter. But "Gamma has stood calm and majestic amid this storm of hatred and unjust persecution. Firm and unyield- ing as the deep-bedded rock of Gibralta has been her position. The fury of the opposing blast has now vented its vain and empty force. The shock only recoiled upon the head of the opposition which shud- dered, rocked and finally exploded." There is a letter from Phi dated May 1, 1850, which makes it plain that it was a communication written to 48 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. Phi by Trueman S. Perry, Theta, '50, which set on foot the movement which resulted in the establishment of Upsilon Chapter at Brown in the following July. The first letter from Upsilon was written September 16, 1850. Among the letters preserved in the files of 1851 are one from Phi suggesting that the Fraternity procure a block for the Washington monument; one from Upsilon relating how the chapter of Beta Theta Pi at Brown became a chapter of Alpha Delta Phi ; one from Alpha Chapter at Harvard, November 14, announcing its organization, a week earlier, and stating that Perry, Theta, '50, then studying at Harvard, had declined to join it; one from Psi Chapter, Alabama, in response to an appeal from Theta for a poet for the coming Con- vention, declaring that Psi had "no poet among its members whom it would do to trust so far from home;" four other letters from Psi which suddenly became one of the best correspondents after failing to write at all for the first three or four years of its exist- ence; one from the young Chi Chapter, Mississippi, blaming the mails for miscarrying its earlier letters and promising to send a delegate to the coming Con- vention at Brunswick, and one from Gamma Chapter, Nashville, seeking light as to the extent to which the Fraternity obligation bound members to support each other in class and general society elections. No fewer than fourteen letters were received from the Phi Chap- ter, that year, many of them of much length. Evi- dently the General Catalogue of the Fraternity does the inactive Delta Chapter, South Carolina, an injustice in THETA IN THE CIVIL WAR. 49 giving the date of its establishment as May 5, 1852, for the files of Theta show a letter from Delta, dated December 29, 1851, giving the Chapter officers and discussing the proposed general Convention. Thus we have glanced at a few of the scores of interesting letters received from the sister Chapters in the first half dozen years. The letter files of Theta are rich in priceless historical material relating to that early period. For each of those years there are a score or more letters preserved. In 185 1, the year last mentioned above, there were forty letters received from other Chapters. In 1852 there were forty-four ; in 1853, forty-one; in 1854, thirty-three; in 1855, seventy-six; in 1856, sixty-three; in 1857, sixty; in 1858, eighty-six; in 1859, sixty-three; in 1860, eighty, and in 1861, seventy-five. These are all preserved in the files, and so on down through the war period from whose correspondence extracts are given on subset quent pages. One of the brightest pages in the history of Theta Chapter is that upon which is written the record of its sons in the Civil War. Seventy-three theta brothers whose names are upon its rolls in the bore arms in that great conflict, seventy of civil war. them fighting for the perpetuation of the Union and three in the armies of the South. Reserving for a later mention the three in the Confed- erate service, let us review in brief summary the services of the seventy who answered their country's call. Forty-six of them were graduate members, ranging from Case, '48, to five members of the delega- 50 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. tion of '62 ; sixteen left College to enlist in the army, several returning later to complete their courses ; and no fewer than eight were in the service before entering College and becoming members, the latest of these to graduate being George M. Seiders, '72, the present attorney general of Maine. Of these seventy, eleven were killed in battle or died of wounds. They were Capt. I. W. Case, '48; Lieut R. C. Thompson, '49; Major C. P. Chandler, '54; Lieut. Col. T. A. Henderson, '55; Private S. C. Charles, '58; Lieut. H. P. Brown, '60; Capt. W. L. Haskell, '60; Capt. W. M. Morrell, '61; Paymaster S. O. Frye, '64; Private H. P. Knight, '65, and Lieut. E. S. Rogers, '65. Such is Theta's honor roll in the Civil War, but the mere statement of members of the list of those who gave their lives in the service cannot tell all the story. Bowdoin was not so seriously crippled by the war as were many colleges, but the echoes of the conflict shook its halls and the battle smoke clouded all its activities. The Chapter records for those years show this, if any evidence were needed. The only lapses in the records for all these sixty years occur while the war was raging, and the subjects for debate were almost invariably connected with the war. That six- teen undergraduate members left College to enlist, shows something of the grim reality that the war became to the members of Theta and indicates to what an extent the war broke into its hitherto peaceful and happy existence. We can scarcely conceive at this time the excitement that reigned when the great battles THETA IN THE CIVIL WAR. 5 1 were being fought in which the members of the Chap- ter knew their brothers were engaged. And what sorrow must have weighed the hearts of those assem- bled in Theta's hall when the news came of the death of those but lately happy brothers among them. There is treasured in the archives a letter from James P. Jones, Omicron Chapter, Michigan, '56, written just after Antietam, telling Theta of the death in that battle of Harlan Page Brown and of the mortal wound received by William Lewis Haskell, both of the delegation of '60. He writes of their splendid bravery and of his pride in fighting side by side with such men. Of Lieut. Brown he writes : "Under the heaviest fire I could see him waving his sword to direct his men, and above the din of musketry could distinguish the manly tones of his voice cheering and encouraging his company. Thus bravely he led on into the valley of death." Haskell, who was acting adjutant during the battle, had three horses shot under him before he was himself finally shot through both knees. The writer of this letter was a charter member of Omicron Chap- ter, and was himself killed in battle, July 14, 1864. It may be added that when the remains of Capt. Haskell were brought to his home in Yarmouth for burial, the Chapter attended in a body. Then there was the incident connected with the death of Lieut. Rogers, '65, at Cold Harbor, which was one of a thousand to prove that the conflict between the sections could not sever fhe bond of brotherhood between the members of the Fraternity wherever meet- ing. After he fell mortally wounded in that most 52 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. desperate charge of all the war, a Confederate officer came upon him and seeing the pin of A K E upon his breast knelt beside him and! clasped his hand in the grip so dear to both. The southern Deke remained with him to the end, doing all in his power to make his last hours more comfortable, and when all was over he sent the last messages of the dying boy to his home in northern Maine and with them his A K E pin and other mementoes which are to this day priceless relics treasured by his relatives. The record of each of the seventy sons of Theta who bore arms for the Union cause is given in brief in connection with the biographical sketches later in this volume. Fifty-two of them won the rank of commis- sioned officers, and all of them rendered gallant and distinguished service which reflects immortal glory upon their Fraternity, their College and their State. The one to win highest rank was General Charles P. Mattocks, '62, who again became a brigadier general of volunteers in the Spanish-American War. In the pages of "Bowdoin in the War" we find many tributes to their valor and their faithful service. Their names, except in a few cases of non-graduates, are upon the bronze tablets in Memorial Hall which thrill and inspire successive generations of Bowdoin men. No other Fraternity at Bowdoin sent so many sons to the war or has such a glorious war record to boast of; and this is as it should be, since our Fraternity at large was represented much more numerously and more prominently in the armies of both the North and the South than any of its rivals. THETA IN THE CIVIL WAR. S3 As stated earlier, three members of Theta were in the Confederate service and fought against the Union. Two of them were killed in battle. The three were Charles E. Butler, '50, who had been a teacher in the South ten years when the war broke out and threw his fortunes with that section; John F. Shaw, '55, who was also a teacher in the South and who was killed in battle in 1863; and Robert McK. Spearing, '57, of New Orleans, one of the most brilliant and popular men of his class, who won the rank of a colonel and gave up his life at Fredericksburg. Another member, Joseph N. Metcalf, '60, a native of Kentucky, raised a company of volunteers for the Confederate army and was elected first lieutenant of the same; but owing to the urgent appeals of his father who was a native of Maine and a strong Union man in spite of thirty years residence in southern Kentucky, he resigned and with- drew from the army without engaging in active ser- vice. Although not a part of Theta's record in the Civil War, it may not be out of- place to mention here the case of George E. Lord, '66, one of several members who have held commissions in the regular army in later years. For five years he was assistant surgeon on the staff of General Custer and with him went down to death in the terrible massacre of the Little Big Horn, June 25, 1876. What the Civil War period meant to our Fraternity, with its many strong Chapters in Southern colleges, is indicated by the letter files of Theta. The Southern Chapters were particularly prompt and cordial in their 54 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. correspondence in the ante-bellum days. They were intensely loyal to the Fraternity and active in its affairs. They were heard from as usual in i860, and from some of them letters were received in 1861 ; and then came the significant silence, unbroken for years, which told of college doors closed and Chapters in a body march- ing to battle. There is much to stir the blood in those last letters. Chi Chapter, Mississippi, wrote March 9, i860: "May the bonds which unite us never be ruthlessly sundered by the political din which now disturbs our unhappy land. We love your North and hope you do our South. We hope that these commotions may soon cease." In January, 1861, the same Chapter wrote: "In these sectional times the North and South are widely separated, but this should have no effect on A K E. Our glorious union should never be dis- severed or the strong bonds that unite us be broken asunder." Within a year, the seven Chapter officers mentioned in the first of these letters were all in the Confederate service, as is shown by the General Cata- logue of the Fraternity, and the writer had been killed in battle. A letter from Eta Chapter, Virginia, January 6, i860, urges Theta to write more frequently, and dwells upon the flourishing condition of the Chapter and its fine prospects; yet within a year the Chapter was inactive and all of the seven officers mentioned in the letter were in the Southern army. The last letter before the war from Beta Chapter, North Carolina, has not a word about the sectional strife, but dwells at CONVENTIONS HELD WITH THETA. 55 length upon the advantages which it expects from the recent election of two honorary members. Omega Chapter, Oakland College, Mississippi, wrote January 31, 1861, of its plans for "a jolly time and a grand A K E demonstration at our May com- mencement," and urging Theta to send a representa- tive if such a thing were possible. No letter ever came to tell of the success of the jolly time and the demonstration, but within a year the Chapter had gone in a body into the Confederate service, and the writer of that letter had died in a Southern army hospital. In the same month, Kappa Psi Chapter, Cumberland University, Tennessee, wrote its emphatic opposition to a proposition of Delta Chapter, South Carolina, that the Southern Chapters should sever their connection with those of the North, declaring "We are unable to see why the action of political demagogues should influence or injure our great Fraternity." Three general Conventions of the A K E Frater- nity have been held with Theta Chapter at Bowdoin in 1852, 1858 and 1869 respectively. In conventions these later years, with our Fraternity MKLD such a national institution, it has been WITH THETA. . ., , . , _ impossible to induce the Convention to meet in so remote a corner of the Union as Maine. Moreover, to the modern Convention is attached an imposing series of social functions hardly possible of realization in a small college town. But it is hoped that these difficulties may be overcome, and that in the near future delegates from all the forty or more Chap- 56 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. ters of our great Fraternity — Dekes from Canada and the Gulf states, from Minnesota and California — may gather in Convention upon Bowdoin's historic campus and around the hospital hearthstone of Theta's beauti- ful home. The first Convention of the Fraternity, as has been related earlier met at New Haven, December 23, 1846, when the only Chapters were those of Yale, Bowdoin, Princeton, Colby and Amherst. From then until 1852 no Convention was held, all matters of legislation, constitutional changes, the establishment of new Chap- ters, etc., being settled by means of the voluminous correspondence maintained. At a meeting of Theta Chapter, November 6, 1850, it was voted "to ascertain the opinion of the other Chapters as to a general Con- vention." Nothing came of this, however, and a year later the agitation for a second general Convention of the Fraternity was renewed by Theta. A letter was sent to Phi urging it to take into "earnest and immediate consideration" the advisability of holding a Convention of the Fraternity with Theta during the year. This time the idea was more favor- ably received, and a letter came back from Yale, dated October 25, 1851, in which the writer said: "We have most heartily seconded your wishes ; glad of the opportunity, we having had one Convention here, to favor one of our oldest and most prosperous Chapters." This letter was followed by another, November 1, in which was given a copy of resolutions passed by Phi. These resolutions were in substance that "a Convention of the A K E Fraternity be held at Bowdoin College CONVENTIONS HELD WITH THETA. 57 with our Theta Chapter at their next Commencement, in order to promote still further the kindly feeling already existing among us, and to transact matters of business with regard to the constitution and other matters better done in a general meeting than by writ- ing ; that each Chapter be urged to send as many dele- gates as possible, and that each Chapter have but one vote in matters of business." The details of the coming Convention were all left with Theta, and John White Chickering, '52, Luther Puffer, '53, Henry Hyde Smith, '54, and Thomas Albert Henderson, '55, were appointed a committee to have these details in charge. A letter came from Phi, November 29, asking for "the precise day of the Con- vention," and urging that "a continual ferment" be kept up "so that on the glorious occasion of our gathering at your College all our Chapters may be tremendously represented." The time selected was Commencement week, 1852, being the first week of September and being also the time for which Bowdoin was planning a grand celebration of the semi-centen- nial of its opening. But although the Convention was thus determined upon almost a year in advance, the time proved to be none too long for securing an Orator and Poet. At first the home Chapter felt confident it could supply them from its own alumni, but one brother after another whom it wrote to felt unequal to the task and modestly declined the honor. Next an appeal was made to Phi which recommended several of its alumni, but they too felt obliged to decline. Then a general 58 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. appeal was made to the other Chapters, and a drag-net was thrown out for any alumnus suspected of oratorial or poetic ability sufficient to warrant his appearance before a A K E Convention. Finally both Orator and Poet were secured from among Theta's young alumni. Trueman S. Perry, '50, consented to be the Poet of the Convention, but a few days before it was held he sustained a severe accident, almost a fatal one, in fact, which prevented him from attending ; so there was no poem after all. The Orator was Isaac W. Case, '48, then a teacher, who gave his life for his country before Port Hudson, a decade later. No records of that Convention have been preserved and so we cannot give the names of its officers or delegates, or any particulars as to the business trans- acted. There are still living a few who were present at its sessions and they agree in the statement that there was a large attendance and that it was consid- ered a very successful Convention. It is not to be expected that their memories would retain for over half a century many details of such a gathering. There were then fourteen active Chapters in the Fra- ternity, four of them being less than a year old, and several of those in New England sent large delega- tions. The second Convention to meet at Bowdoin was that of 1858, six years later. This was in reality the seventh Convention to be held, but as it was the thirteenth year after the founding of the Fraternity it was denominated the thirteenth Convention, and sub- sequent Conventions have been numbered on that basis. CONVENTIONS HELD WITH THETA. 59 The delegates were in Brunswick, August 3, 4 and 5, and their sessions were held in the same hall where the Convention of 1852 had met. The minutes of this Convention are the earliest on file with the A K K Council in New York, and from them we get a good idea of the proceedings. The delegates first met in the hall of Theta, Tuesday evening, August 3, and spent a good part of the night in listening to reports from the various Chapters. At this first meeting thirteen of the twenty*seven Chapters then existing were represented, and during the night and next day numerous delegates representing other Chapters arrived, but the whole number of Chapters represented at the Convention is not given in the minutes. The Convention was called to order at eight o'clock the next morning by Clifford S. Belcher, Theta, '57. At the Convention held at Brown, the previous year, a member of Theta, Enos T. Luce, '56, now Judge Luce of Waltham, Mass., had been made President; and at this Convention, held at Bowdoin, a member of Upsilon Chapter at Brown, John B. Brackett, '57, was ejected President. The Vice Presidents were Mark Pitman, Theta, '59, and Francis H. Hurd, Lambda Chapter, Kenyon College, '58 ; while W. H. Anderson, Phi, '59, and David R. Straw, Theta, '59, were made Secretaries. The day was filled with business. Various consti- tutional amendments were proposed ; a member of the Chapter at Middlebury, who had been expelled and had later joined Sigma Chapter at Amherst, was declared, after a long discussion, not to be a member of 60 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. the Sigma Chapter; a graduate pin, in the form of a scroll was adopted; the A K E March was ordered published ; the troubles of the Alpha Chapter at Har- vard were given the usual airing that occupied the attention of so many Conventions, before and after that time; and the minutes contain a vague reference to a statement by W. E. Foster of Phi '60, "about an illegally formed Chapter at Macon College, Georgia." The^public exercises of the Convention were held in the Congregational church. The Orator was Anson Burlingame, an honorary member of Sigma Chapter, Amherst, who was then a member of Congress from Massachusetts and who was later United States ambassador to China; and the Poet was Hamilton J. Dennis of Omicron Chapter, Michigan, '58. The Convention adjourned to meet the next year with Lambda Chapter at Kenyon College, Ohio. The third and latest Convention to be held with Theta was the twenty-third, which met in Brunswick, October 6 and 7, 1869. The Chapter had moved, three years earlier, to its second hall, near the railroad track, and here the sessions of the Convention were held. The Civil War had made tragic ravages in the Fraternity, rendering inactive half a score of Southern Chapters, so that there were fewer active Chapters, despite the new charters that had been granted, than when the Convention had met in Brunswick, eleven years earlier. There was a good attendance, several of the nearest Chapters sending large delegations. The Convention was called to order by J. W. Keene, Theta, '70; and R. W. Hickox, Alpha, Harvard, '72, CONVENTIONS HELD WITH THETA. 6l was made temporary chairman, and D. S. Alexander, Theta, '70, now a New York congressman, temporary secretary. The committee on permanent organization was made up of L. L. Hubbard, Alpha, '72; D. S. Alexander, Theta, '70, and L,. W. Hicks, Phi, '71. Permanent officers were elected as follows : President, W. R. Brown, Sigma, '69 ; Vice President, I. H. Ford, Phi, '71 ; Secretary, WL E. Frost, Theta, '70; Assistant Secretary, J. D. Williamson, Beta Chi, Western Reserve, '70. The last named officer was the delegate from the baby Chapter, as Beta Chi had then been established less than a year. That a strong spirit of conservatism had now taken possession of the Fraternity is shown by the fact that this Convention promptly rejected three applications for charters. The case of Cornell was considered more favorably and a committee was appointed to investi- gate conditions at that newly founded institution. As a result of its investigations, Delta Chi Chapter was established and answered to its name when the twenty- fourth Convention was held at Providence, a year later. One incident of the business sessions was the election of six honorary members for Theta Chapter, as related on an earlier page. Since that time, thirty-five years ago, the number of Theta's honorary members has not been added to. The public exercises of the convention were held in the Baptist Church and were presided over by Hon. Josiah H. Drummond of Portland, Colby, '46, the beloved founder of Xi Chapter. The Orator was George Pratt of Norwich, Conn., Phi, '57, and the Poet 62 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. was Charles C. Puffer of Rochester, N. Y., Beta Phi Chapter, Rochester, '63. Music was furnished by the Germania Band of Boston. At the conclusion a ban- quet was held at the Tontine Hotel, the memory of which still fires the hearts of those who were there. One of them, since a prominent legislator, writes of it, "Although Maine is a Prohibition State, and at that time no liquors were ever used in the College, yet I fear before we adjourned, at two o'clock in the morn- ing, one at least of those who were to respond to toasts, had fallen under the table. How many others were there, deponent saith not, for he possibly was not in a condition to observe the actions of others. The last thing which I remember about that Convention, which was a notable one in many respects, was that three of us, about four o'clock in the morning, were striving to get up Maine street (which is 200 feet wide) singing Hail to loved A K E, Honored her name shall be Till time shall end; Vain every rival's arts; Frustrate all hostile darts; Proudly our loyal hearts To her shall bend. I cannot swear that we ever reached College. It is said that this one and only departure from staid New England habits was due to the fact that the Harvard Chapter was represented by a full delegation, and that the members of that illustrious order joined with the Yale Chapter to initiate the rural youths of Maine, l/roking back Upon it after having had nearly thirty OUR SISTER FRATERNITIES. 63 years in which to get sober, I am inclined to think that report had it right." When Theta Chapter of A K E was established at Bowdoin in 1844, two intercollegiate Fraternities were already represented there, Alpha Delta our sister Phi, dating from 1841, and Psi Upsilon, fraternities, dating from 1843. And at old Bow- doin, as at many other leading colleges, while other Fraternities have come and gone, these three ancient rivals have lived and prospered side by side. Both these other Chapters, like Theta in A K E have always been counted among the strongest in their respective Fraternities. A Chapter of Chi Psi was also established at Bowdoin in 1844 which died out in the late 'sixties. Tradition tells us that Chi Psi was the "sporty" Fraternity of its time, and that a visit to its hall in its declining years disclosed a punch bowl as the only article of furniture remaining intact. However this may be, it is certain that on the rolls of the extinct Chapter are the names of some of the men of whom Bowdoin is proudest — Chief Justice Fuller, the late Speaker Reed, General Hubbard, General Hyde, Judge Putnam, the Fessendens, Joseph Wil- liamson and others. It seems a pity that this Chapter was not revived in later years when new Fraternities were being established at the College. Theta Delta Chi established a Charge at Bowdoin in 1854, which became inactive five or six years later. In 1874 it was revived and has since been strong and prosperous. A Chapter of Delta Upsiloh, then known as a non-secret Fraternity, was established at Bowdoin 64 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. in 1857, the leaders in the movement being three or four students who had resigned from membership in Alpha Delta Phi. The Chapter became inactive within a year or two, but over a third of a century later, in 1893, a new chapter of Delta Upsilon was established which has since prospered. The Bowdoin Chapter of Zeta Psi dates from 1867, when Chi Psl was going out of existence. It was established mainly through the efforts of George L. Chandler, '68, who had been a member of Zeta Psi at Colby, where there had been a Chapter of the Fraternity since 1850. After Zeta Psi no new intercollegiate Fraternity appeared at Bowdoin for a quarter of a century; though the local Sophomore society Phi Chi rose in glory and fell in darkness, leaving behind in song and tradition an imperishable memory. Then came the re-establishment of Delta Upsilon in 1893, as men- tioned above, followed by Chapters of Kappa Sigma in 1895 and Beta Theta Pi in 1900. Thus there are now eight Chapters of intercollegiate Fraternities at Bow- doin, all flourishing and facing only bright prospects. Five of them occupy Chapter Houses of which four were built for the purpose ; and of the remaining three, at least one will have a Chapter House in the immediate future. With its sister Fraternities the relations of Theta have been on the whole most friendly, particularly in these later years. In early times there was keener competition with more activity and feeling entered into it ; and doubtless then, very much more frequently than now, a member of a Fraternity forgot the welfare of OUR SISTER FRATERNITIES. 65 the College at large and the strict principles of personal honor in his zeal to injure or defeat a rival Fraternity. That this was true at other colleges than Bowdoin is shown by scores of letters still preserved. In fact, it is very doubtful if the bitterness of rivalry was ever carried to the extent at Bowdoin that prevailed at some other colleges. In those early years, the election of officers for the general literary societies, the Peucinian and the Athenaean, which thrived at Bowdoin for two-thirds of the 19th century, was a bone of contention over which the Fraternities lined up for battle. On those occasions there were frequent alliances between two Fraternities ; and in the records we find many instances along through the 'fifties where Theta Chapter voted to combine with another Fraternity — almost ihvariably with Psi Upsilon, though occasionally Chi Psi or Theta Delta Chi figured in the arrangement — for a division of the important offices. Committees of conference were appointed which reported slates for discussion in the meetings. No doubt, such alliances were met by counter alliances, or possibly were the result of some hostile demonstration on the part of the others. Unhappily in more modern times, there have been occasional- instances of alliances or selfish partisanship in the election of class officers or in athletic affairs, but they have become more and more rare until any bad influence which Fraternities may exert in such matters has been thoroughly minimized at Bowdoin. In the matter of securing new members there was also undoubtedly more strenuous rivalry in the old 66 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. times than in our day and generation. The term "fish- ing" as used in this connection at Bowdoin is old as the Fraternities themselves. We find it first used in the records of Theta, October 5, 1850, when two members were thanked "for services in the line piscatorial." And what piscatorial artists there have been since that day! Several times attempts have been made to have the various Fraternities agree not to fish or pledge new stu- dents until after a stipulated time during Freshman year. The first such attempt referred to in the records was in 1857 and a dozen have followed it at varying intervals, but none of them has accomplished anything. In several instances Theta Chapter has been the one to advance the proposition and it has never failed through any fault of this Chapter. Knowing its strength, it has realized that, in the vast majority of cases, it could get the new men desired, however fierce the competition; and that, on the other hand, it had nothing to lose and much to gain, if the Freshmen were allowed to wander around undisturbed for a term or two getting unprejudiced opinions of the Fra- ternities. There have been several instances among the Bow- doin Fraternities where a man ceased to be a member of one, through resignation or expulsion, and became a member of another. Thus, as related elsewhere, a member of Theta, from the class of '51, left A K E "with the benediction of all concerned," and later joined Alpha Delta Phi. Then we have seen how the Chapter of Delta Upsilon was first established by men OUR SISTER FRATERNITIES. 6/ who resigned from Alpha Delta Phi. About that time another member of Alpha Delta Phi, in the class of '60, resigned from that Fraternity and joined Chi Psi. One of the earliest members of Theta Delta Chi was a member of the class of '54, who had left Psi Upsilon. Theta Chapter has one member upon its rolls who had earlier been a member of another Fra- ternity at Bowdoin, in the person of Edward W. Thompson, '56. Of this brother it is recorded : "This highly honored member of our Fraternity first joined the Theta Delta Chi, but was expelled during his Jun- ior year for causes which we did not deem sufficient. Universally sustained in his course, and with a hearty welcome, he was initiated into A K E, July 17, 1855." As indicated on an earlier page, the members of Theta Chapter were more intimate in the early years with those of Psi Upsilon than with the other Fra- ternities. There were several joint banquets, or, at least informal spreads, of these two Fraternities, dur- ing the 'sixties. They were held in the anterooms of the respective halls and were probably occasions long remembered by those present. In more recent years, the Dekes and the members of Theta Delta Chi — long the joint occupants of Appleton Hall — have been on particularly cordial terms, and their baseball game, with the following "feed" at a nearby shore resort has become a feature of each Spring term. Theta Chapter of A K E has no quarrel with any of the other Fraternities at Bowdoin. It respects them all and does not mean to give any of them reason to diminish the respect they all feel toward it. It is 68 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. always anxious to work hand in hand with them for the good of the College they all love. Its feeling and its attitude are well shown in the following song, "When Theta Cheers the Ends," by Arthur Hunting- ton Nason, '99, which its members often sing as they march across the campus and by the Chapter Houses, on initiation night, and after the spread to the retiring Senior members. It was written before the establish- ment of Beta Theta Pi. We've spent the night in Theta's hall With mirth and song and jollity; And now we come to bring to all The greetings due of A K E. To cheer the "Ends" and our good friends Whom we upon the campus meet, We march along, a jovial throng, Our brother "Frats" to greet. CHORUS. All cheer for Bowdoin, boys ! Alpha Delta Phi ! Psi U., Delta U., Theta Delta Chi ! K. S., and Zeta Psi — Give them three times three ! Cheer ! Cheer for Bowdoin, boys ! For Bowdoin boys are we! Old Winthrop knows our loud hurrah, It sounds from Appleton to Maine ; Memorial flings the echo far, The Chapel sends it back again. Each ancient hall shall hear the call, Each tower shall our song maintain; The college pines repeat the lines And swell the glad refrain. TWO DEATHS IN THE ANDROSCOGGIN. 69 In the spring of 1859, the suicide of Howard Abbott by drowning in the Androscoggin river threw a gloom over the Chapter and the College. The two deaths y oun g m an was a member of the class of in the '60, was a scholar of much ability and ANDROscooaiN.was much liked by his associates. Dur- ing his Junior year he evinced at times signs of mental derangement, and there were great apprehensions among his friends when he was missed, Saturday, May 21, 1859. The following day a letter was found in his room addressed to his father, Hon. Nehemiah Abbott of Belfast. This was opened and in it was found an avowal of his intention to commit sui- cide. The students immediately assembled and divided themselves into small parties for the purpose of searching the neighboring woods. College exer- cises were suspended and wide interest was aroused in the fate of the unfortunate student. The search of the surrounding country being unsuccessful, it was decided to drag the river, and on the third day the body was recovered a short distance below the bridge. His shawl, such as was commonly worn by young men of that period, was found on some logs near the shore where he had discarded it when he walked out to his death. Services were held in King Chapel where a psalm was sung followed by a prayer by Prof. Egbert C. Smyth. A delegation from the Chapter and one from the Junior class accompanied the remains to Bel- fast and attended the funeral services in that city. Forty-two years later there was a similar sad cere- mony in the Chapel over the body of a member of •JO THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. A K E whose life had been lost in the waters of the Androscoggin. In the latter case, however, the tragedy was the result of the overturning of a canoe. The victim was John Prescott Webber, Jr., of the class of 1903, a young man of exceptional promise, and one whose nobility of character had won him a brother's truest love from every member of the Chapter. While canoeing, May 1, 1901, with a member of his delega- tion, J. S. Bradstreet, the craft became unmanageable and was overturned. Bradstreet succeeded in reach- ing the shore, but Webber was quickly swept away by the current, which was very swift at that point, and never again seen alive. For days the river was drag- ged for the body, but it was not recovered until over two weeks later when it was found several miles below the scene of the accident. It was taken to the Chapter House, then in the first year of its occupancy, in whose erection and furnishing the young man had taken great interest, and to which he had been a most generous contributor. At noon of the following day, Saturday, May 18, to the tolling of the Chapel bell and escorted by the mem- bers of Theta Chapter, with the members of the 1903 delegation acting as bearers, the lifeless form of the dead brother was taken to King Chapel where the whole student body had assembled. The brief but intensely impressive service was conducted by Presi- dent Hyde and the hymn, "Just As I Am," was sung by a special choir. The entire student body by classes escorted the body to the station, the members of AKE marching on either side of the hearse and immedi- THREE NAMES BLOTTED OUT. 71 ately behind it. Every head was uncovered and it was the saddest procession of students that has formed on the campus in many years. Delegations from the class and Chapter accompanied the remains to Bangor where interment took place. In the sixty years of Theta's existence no fewer than seventeen members have died while undergraduates, thirteen of them in the first twenty years of the Chapter's life, but the cir- cumstances of these two deaths make them stand out as particularly sad and memorable. There have been three names borne upon the rolls of Theta Chapter which are no longer to be found there. Their owners were in the delega- three names tions of '49, '5 1 and '64 respectively, and blotted out. for reasons deemed good and sufficient by the Chapter, and also presumably by themselves, each in turn ceased to be a member of the Fraternity. The first had trouble with his fellow mem- bers during his Freshman year, and requested a dis- missal from the Chapter. He did not formally with- draw or resign, but made a written request for what was in effect an expulsion. The records show that the request was discussed at several meetings and action each time deferred. Soon, however, he left College; and then some hand scratched from the minutes every reference to his name, and erased it completely where he had signed the constitution. There is no record of his expulsion, but this act and the fact that his name does not appear in the early catalogues show that he was no longer considered a member. 72 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. The second likewise found himself in uncongenial company; and soon after his initiation, the fee for which he never paid, he "left with the benediction of all concerned," according to the entry made at the time. He remained in College and later in his course became a member of Alpha Delta Phi. The third was for almost four years a loyal and active member of the Chapter, holding the highest office in its gift. In the spring of his Senior year he left College and enlisted in the army. He deserted from the service, and the Chapter, when it learned of this act, considered it a suf- ficient ground for his immediate expulsion *rom the Fraternity. Of all the hundreds of members of Theta Chapter, only these three have been deemed unworthy by their fellow members. They were black sheep in the flock. Their names have been stricken from the Chapter rolls ; they are not to be found in the General Catalogue of the Fraternity, and there is no reason why they should appear here or elsewhere in this volume. All three have been dead for many years. From the first there has prevailed the custom of a reunion of the alumni of Theta Chapter at Commence- ment time; and these occasions, sehi-centennial which are arranged to come on celebration. Wednesday evening, are greatly enjoyed, both by the alumni members who are able to return to College at that time, and by the undergraduates. In early times, these reunions, referred to in the records as "anniversaries," were somewhat formal affairs with an oration and poem; but in later years they have been made less formal SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 73 gatherings, with the main emphasis on the getting together of the old and young members in a jolly reunion, with singing, refreshments, impromptu speeches and discussions of Fraternity affairs. They revive the interest of the graduates, keep strong the bonds between them and the active members and are in many ways beneficial to the Chapter. The most largely attended reunion in the history of the Chapter and in some respects the most notable, was that of June 27, 1894, when the semi-centennial of the founding of the Chapter was celebrated. It was par- ticularly fortunate for the success of the occasion that at this same Commencement the College celebrated the centennial of its incorporation, thus ensuring an immense gathering of alumni. But to the scores and scores of loyal Dekes, old and young, who thronged back to the campus not one of the many events that crowded the week was more important or pleasant than the semi-centennial celebration of Theta Chapter. A committee composed of R. H. Baxter, '94, F. W. Dana, '94, R. H. Hinkley, '94, H. L. Fairbanks, '95, and J. C. Minot, '96, had the arrangements in charge. It had been proposed to have a ball and reception earlier in the term in honor of the anniversary, but this was given up and all energies were devoted to the alumni reunion of Commencement week. The main feature, of course, was the Wednesday evening gathering in the hall, but for the whole week the members of A K E were much in evidence, every returning graduate being promptly decorated with the Fraternity colors and made at home among the boys. 74 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. Before South Appleton was hung the great Fraternity flag, 25x18 feet, with its rampant lion against the crimson, gold and blue. On Wednesday evening the hall was filled to its utmost capacity, and here for two hours was as jolly a reunion as Theta ever knew. About one hundred and fifty alumni signed the regis- ter, representing thirty-eight classes in the Chapter's history and fully one-half of the states of the Union. There were also present representatives of seven other Chapters of A K E, Xi at Colby, Sigma at Amherst, Pi at Dartmouth, Nu at the College of the City of New York, Beta Phi at Rochester, Gamma Phi at Wesleyan and Delta Chi at Cornell. All these were represented by graduates living in Maine, and Xi also sent several undergraduates. Telegrams of congratulation were received from Phi Chapter at Yale, the A K E Asso- ciation of New England at Boston, the A K E Quarterly, and from a number of alumni. It was a source of much regret that of the three charter mem- bers of the Chapter still surviving, Goodrich, Emerson and Holt, none could be present. At about 11.30, P. M., the whole company adjourned to the Town Hall, near by, where Robinson, a Portland caterer, had prepared the banquet in the court room. After the cigars had been passed around, the best part of the evening's program began. H. L. Fairbanks, '95, presided over the exercises and introduced Hon. O. D. Baker, '68, as the Orator of the evening, Judge H. S. Webster, '67, as the Poet and J. C. Minot, '96, as the Historian. Their efforts were received with much enthusiasm, and then came informal speeches from a SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 75 few of the alumni ; speeches eulogistic, witty, reminis- cent, prophetic ; some full of advce, all full of congrat- ulation; all full of love and tender memories of the old Chapter ; all ringing with the true A K E spirit. The speakers were I. S. Metcalf, '47, Elyria, Ohio; Dr. J. M. Eveleth, '48, Hallowell; Judge S. F. Hum- phrey, '48, Bangor; Dr. John A. Douglass, '54, Amesbury, Mass. ; Hon. Caleb Saunders, '59, Law- rence, Mass. ; Judge Enoch Foster, '64, Bethel ; Hon. Joseph A. Locke, '65, Portland; Hon. Stanley Plum- mer, '67, Dexter; Hon. Clarence Hale, '69, Portland; William E. Frost, '70, Westford, Mass. ; George L. Thompson, 'yy, Brunswick, and Francis A. Frost, '94, Westford, Mass. It was broad daylight before the last speech had been made, the last story told, the last song sung and the last cheer given. Never before or since have so many members of our Fraternity been assembled at Bowdoin or elsewhere in Maine, as clasped hands in the Mystic Circle when that semi-cen- tennial reunion was over. The concluding verses of Judge Webster's poem "Our Theta," which have since been set to music by that talented woman, Miss Kate • Vannah of Gardiner, must be given a place here. Bright as the light at the dawn of the day, Theta, our Theta. Fair as the caves where the sea maidens play, Theta, our Theta. Where is the clime that was blessed by thy birth? Was it some region of music and mirth, Far from the gloom and the shadows of earth, Whence thou art come like a spirit astray, Theta, our Theta? j6 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON.

THE HALLS OF THETA. "ft As the memory of the alumnus strays back to his undergraduate days in A K E, perhaps it lingers longer and more fondly than elsewhere in the halls the Chapter hall. Whatever else he has op theta. forgotten, he still recalls his first entrance within those closely guarded portals; the mysteries there imparted and the welcome from the heart with which he was received into the fellowship of the Fraternity. It was in the Chapter hall that the work was done and the training given which proved not the least important part of his college course in its permanent value. There were fought the forensic battles which usually raised the dust within the room, but never failed to settle the great problems which were vexing the world outside. There were enjoyed the "spreads" and "feeds" which appeal, as do few other things to the happy and healthy young collegian. There were sung in riotous glee that made the rafters tremble, the songs of A K E — sung with more vol- ume and heartiness than regard to technique, and with much more harmony in the hearts of the singers than in the sound of the singing. There was formed the Mystic Circle; and there, in short, more than else- where were forged the links in the golden chain of friendship which endures through all the years and which makes the old graduate realize that "Earth has no honors bright, Friendship no tender light, But pale befor* thy might, Loved A K E." 78 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. The halls of Theta, before it came to its own with the building of the Chapter House, were three in num- ber, each being occupied in turn for nearly a score of years. The first few meetings, as has been related, were held in the room of W. F. Jackson, '46, at the home of his parents in Brunswick; and then for little more than a year the Chapter met in a room engaged of a Mr. Cushing. But that was only a temporary arrangement, and in August, 1846, a hall was engaged upon the third floor of Dunlap Block which continued to be the home of the Chapter until 1866. For the next twenty years, 1866 to 1886, the Chapter occupied a hall over a store, no longer standing, on Maine street close to the railroad track. From 1886 until the Chapter House was ready for occupancy in the late Fall of 1900, the Chapter occupied a hall built for it by G. L. Thompson, '77, on the third floor of Boardman Block, the building next below the Town Hall. The first of these halls, that in the old Dunlap Block on the East side of Maine street, where the new Dun- lap Block now stands, cost the Chapter the modest rental of $20 annually. It was a good sized hall with a large ante-room, and when the Chapter moved in it indulged the luxury of forty-two yards of carpeting for the floor. As one means of protecting and pre- serving this carpet, three spittoons were purchased at the same time. One of the first entries in the records referring to the condition of the hall is that in the meeting of July 16, 1851, when "remarks were made on the state of the plastering." Evidently the reverb- erations of the eloquence which so frequently filled the THE HALLS OF THETA. 79 hall had been too much for the plastering ; or possibly there had occasionally been other reverberations than those caused by the earnest discussions of the ponder- ous questions which were considered at each meeting. The general Conventions of 1852 and 1858 were held in this hall. In preparation for the first of these, extensive additions were made to the furnishings. Two tables were purchased and incidentally it was "voted to restore to its rightful owner the table now in the possession of the Society;" the two sofas were purchased which no alumnus of the Chapter fails to remember ; and a little later a chandelier was purchased at an expense of $25. Before the Convention of 1858 was held, the ante-room of the hall was carpeted and painted. A vote of November 13, 1855, "that a new door be procured to the Chapter room and the windows be repaired," suggests that the sanctum sanctorum had been violently assaulted by outsiders, though this may not have been the case. When the Chapter had been in this hall ten years, the rent was raised, but the boys were so well satisfied with their quarters that they "voted to pay double the rent if necessary to keep the rooms." The beginning of a library for the Chapter hall was made February 2, i860, when it was voted to buy a Webster's Dictionary, and from this nucleus has grown the library in which the Chapter justly takes much pride. Through the years of the war this hall continued the meeting place of the Chapter, though in i860 and again in 1862 committees were appointed "to make arrangements for a new hall." 80 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. It was not until 1865, however, that arrangements for a new hall were made. At the meeting of Sep- tember 5, in that year, it was "voted to have the hall changed to the new building now being constructed by Mr. Melcher near the railroad crossing, the rent to be $65 per year." This building was located below the present residence of Prof. Robinson, at the foot of Brunswick's solitary little hill; and that it was a new building, lighted by gas and situated nearer the cam- pus, was probably a strong argument for the change. The actual removal was not made until the following Spring ; and the new hall was dedicated on the evening of March 31, 1866, with an oration by R. D. Wood- man, '66, and the singing of songs and odes written for the occasion by G. T. Sumner, '66, J. W. MacDonald, '67, and G. M. Bodge, '68. As was the case with the previous hall, this one was occupied for exactly a score of years. Here the ses- sions of the general Convention of 1869 were held, in preparation for which about $125 was expended upon the hall. In 1867 the chair was purchased which has since done faithful service for the presiding officer. This was procured in Lewiston at an expense of $28. A little later, the large ante-room — where the Kappa Chapter of Psi Upsilon was at least once entertained in a body — was carpeted and papered. The twenty years during which this hall over Simpson's store was occupied, were particularly prosperous and active times for Theta of A K E, a halcyon period of its history. There was never a time when its leadership was more generally acknowledged or its superiority more mani- THE HALLS OF THETA. 8l fest. During these years one strong delegation after another carried off an even larger proportion of the scholarship prizes and honors than had been won dur- ing the preceding twenty years, or have been won in the twenty prosperous years that have followed. Dur- ing this period also, before any other Fraternity at Bowdoin had dreamed of such a thing, the Chapter House movement was started and carried to all but success. It was in the Spring of 1886 that the Chapter moved to the hall that had been prepared for it on the third floor of Boardman Block by G. L. Thompson, 'yy, and here it remained until the Chapter House was ready for occupancy, over fourteen years later. This third hall was a very pleasant home for the Chapter, though usually most uncomfortably crowded on the nights of the alumni reunions in June. The ante-room was small, and on initiation night the boys appreciated the kindness of the dentist who occupied the floor below, in placing his reception room at their disposal. How distinct in the memory of the young alumni is the picture of this hall. The two old sofas across two of the corners, and the piano between them; behind one sofa the bust of Shakespeare upon a little table and behind the other on a similar table a mounted loon, much the worse for the ravages of the moths; the many delegation pictures upon the walls; the stack of tables and the littered bookcase beside the door to the little kitchen ; the recessed platform for the presiding officer, with the Fraternity escutcheon in its rear ; the two supporting rods from the ceiling, often utilized 6 82 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. for acrobatic performances; the cane seat arm chairs filling most of the floor space ; and the worn and faded carpet which was usually a subject for animated dis- cussion at the alumni reunions, one old graduate no sooner remarking that his delegation bought it than another would promptly declare that the former's might have bought it, but his had paid for it! It is not possible to point to any particular date as that on which the idea of possessing a Chapter House was first conceived by the members chapter house of Theta Chapter ; nor is it possible movehent. to point to any particlar man and say that he was the originator of the movement. To give the full story of the various attempts that were made to build a home for the Chap- ter, before success was finally achieved, would require a volume of larger dimensions than this one. We can only relate in the most general way, that the movement had it origin in the early 'seventies, almost thirty years before the Chapter House became a reality. As far as known, the idea of building and owning a house was agitated by the members of Theta of A K E long before it was considered by any other Fraternity at Bowdoin; and, that being the case, it was eminently fitting that our Fraternity should, after many years of waiting, be the first one at Bowdoin to build and occupy a house of its own. It lessens the distinction but little that one of its sister Fraternities had, a year or two earlier, moved into a house which it had bought and remodelled for its purposes. CHAPTER HOUSE MOVEMENT. 83 In the early years of the Chapter House movement, and in the later years, for that matter, practically all the work toward the longed-for end was done by com- mittees, sometimes of the undergraduates and some- times of the alumni, appointed for the purpose, and so the records of the Chapter itself throw little light upon what was attempted or accomplished. The first refer- ence is in the minutes of the meeting of June 18, 1874, when it was voted, "That a Committee be appointed to look after a hall fund." This Committee was com- posed of Myles Standish, '75, F. C. Payson, '76, and John A. Morrill, '76. If there were earlier Commit- tees they were not mentioned in the records. It is worthy of note that at least two of the three members of this first Committee remained, through all the years that followed, active workers in behalf of the Chapter House; and the name of one of them — Franklin C. Payson, '76 — is more prominently identified with that movement than the name of any other alumnus of the Chapter. A few others who served on the Chapter House Committee, or "Hall" Committee as it was called in those years, were: E. H. Hall, '75, Wjilliam Alden, '76, G. T. Little, '77, T. L,. Paine, '78, W. G. Davis, '79, and E. G. Spring, '80, several of whom have never allowed their interest in the movement to flag. The idea at that time was not for such a Chapter House as was finally built, many years afterwards, but rather for a lodge or hall, to be used only for the pur- poses of the weekly meetings and to contain little more than a meeting hall with the necessary ante-rooms. 84 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. Some years later the idea broadened so that it was proposed to have the building also contain quarters for the Chapter eating club, but it was not until the move- ment was begun which finally ended in success that it was planned to have a Chapter House in which a part of the members should room. In fact, in the earlier years there would have been immediate and effective opposition from the College Faculty and governing Boards to any proposition that students room off the campus in any such building. This opposition, indeed, had not wholly died out when our Chapter House was finally built, and only the active work of several loyal A K E alumni, who were members of the governing Boards, overcame it. There is no need, even were there room within the limits of this history, to dwell at length upon the efforts made by the various Committees through the 'seventies and 'eighties. The movement rose and receded regularly every few years, but failure never brought lasting discouragement, and each cessation of active work found the movement farther advanced than the preceding one. Usually the temporary fail- ures were due to all important financial reasons, but this was not always the case. In one particular instance, which many will recall, an active alumni Committee had secured pledges for a sufficient amount of money, only to find that the alumni and under- graduates differed materially in their ideas as to what kind of a house should be constructed. The Commit- tee felt that it should be a building to contain only the Chapter hall, while some of the younger alumni and CHAPTER HOUSE MOVEMENT. 85 the undergraduates were beginning to grasp the modern idea of a Chapter House with accommodations for a part of the members. This difference of opinion somewhat cooled the ardor of the Committee, and matters were allowed to rest as they were. This was in the middle 'eighties, and a few years later both Chapter and Committee approved the plan of building a Chapter House alone, without accommodations for roomers or boarding club. The designs drawn at that time contemplated a building 61 x 29 feet, containing a hall 35 x 27 feet. The cost was to be somewhere between $3,500 and $6,000, according to the materials of which it was composed. The alumni in Boston and Portland quickly pledged $1,250, and subscriptions for a large part of the balance were received by the com- mittee. It was a little later that the Chapter considered seri- ously the idea of buying the so called Perry House, now occupied by Professor Johnson, which was then in the market at a most reasonable figure. This was a large and attractive dwelling, most conveniently located, and would have made a very pleasant Chapter House ; but there was too much delay and, before deci- sive action was taken, the property had passed into other hands. One circumstance which doubtless retarded the Chapter House movement was the fact that for many years the members of the various Fraternities have been grouped together in the College dormitories. Thus for the past quarter of a century or more South Appleton Hall has been known as the "Deke End," being occupied almost exclusively by the 86 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. members of our Fraternity; and there on the upper floors the members of the lower delegations still room until by right of seniority in the Chapter they can occupy rooms in the Chapter House. Several times in those earlier years of the Chapter House movement a fund had been started to which some of the graduates and alumni had contributed, but in several instances this fund had been drawn upon for other purposes, so that the money did not accumulate very rapidly. In the early 'nineties the Chapter began the regular assessment of a small Chapter House tax upon its members, an assessment which has since been continued and has been an important factor in the suc- cess of the movement. It was in the Winter of 1895-6 that the movement began which resulted in the purchase of a lot and the building of the Chapter House. Nothing definite or aggressive had been done in the matter for several years, and it seemed to be time for one of the periodical agitations of the subject which had occurred every little while for a score of years. This time, however, the Fates were more propitious and, although success did not come at once, yet this movement, built upon the partial successes of the past, suffered no appreciable check until the house was built. At the meeting of December 6, 1895, a new Chapter House Committee was appointed, consisting of Preston Kyes, '96, C. H. Holmes, '97, and C. S. Pettengill, '98, and authorized to investigate the matter of an available lot. As a result of this Committee's prompt work, helped much by two loyal alumni on the Faculty — Prof. Little, '77, CHAPTER HOUSE MOVEMENT. 87 and Dr. Whittier, '85 — the Newman house and lot, on the corner of Maine and College streets, was purchased July 16, 1896, in the name of Professor Little as Trustee for the Chapter, the consideration being $5,000. Of this sum, $1,900 was paid from the Chap- ter House fund, which had accumulated, and from the money then raised among the undergraduates, and the property. was mortgaged for the balance. The work of interesting the alumni began at once through visits of Kyes, '96, to Portland and Boston, and with a con- siderable degree of success; but, as had been the case before, the graduation of the leading member of the Committee caused the movement to lose a little of its headway, though it did not this time come to a com- plete stop. Thanks to the earnestness and zeal of others who followed upon this Committee, C. S. Pettengill, '98, and F. W. Briggs, '99, deserving special mention among the number, the interest of an increasing num- ber of the alumni was arroused, and the scheme of raising the large sum required for a house gradually took definite shape. In 1899, the Committee engaged Frazer & Chapman, well known architects of Boston, to draw the plans for such a house as was desired. The plans then furnished by this firm were those later accepted and upon which the house was built. With a large and beautiful lot waiting for the house, with these admirable plans on hand, and with the cer- tainty that sufficient money could be secured when a systematic canvass was made for it by those having authority to do the work, the time had now arrived for 88 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. a formal organization of the alumni to take the work out of the hands of the undergraduate Committee and make the house a reality. Accordingly, a few young alumni, feeling that somebody must go ahead if any- thing was to be accomplished, met, September 9, 1899, in the office of Williamson & Burleigh, Augusta law- yers, and organized the Theta Chapter House Associa- tion, a corporation under the general laws oi Maine, to erect, own and maintain a Chapter House for Theta of Delta Kappa Epsilon. At this meeting were present: Joseph Williamson, '88, L. A. Burleigh, '91, J. C. Minot, '96, F. W. Briggs, '99, Cony Sturgis, '99. Williamson was elected Presi- dent, and Briggs, Treasurer. The former retained his office until the house was built and ready for occu- pancy, when he was succeeded by F. C. Payson, '76; but Briggs resigned a few weeks later, and was suc- ceeded as Treasurer by J. C. Minot, '96, who has since served in that capacity. The Directors elected were: F. C. Payson, '76, Joseph Williamson, '88, G. T. Little, '77, A. W. Mansur, '82, F. N. Whittier, '85, J. C. Minot, '96, and R. L. Dana, '01. This list has remained unchanged. H. L. Swett, '01, was elected Clerk of the corporation. These directors at once held several meetings in Brunswick; the property owned by Pro- fessor Little as Trustee was transferred to the Asso- ciation, and the scheme of financiering the movement was mapped out. To make a long story short, once more, the house, when finally built and ready for occupancy a year later, represented an outlay of practically $30,000, of which, CHAPTER HOUSE MOVEMENT. 89 approximately, $20,000 went for the house itself, $5,000 for the lot, and $5,000 for furnishings. Of this total of $30,000, the sum of $10,000 was secured from the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company of Portland on a first mortgage of the property. This mortgage has since been transferred to the Augusta Savings Bank, which now holds it, and is being reduced at the rate of $500 annually, from the income of the house. Of the remaining $20,000, about $10,000 was contributed by the alumni on an issue of second mortgage, profit-sharing bonds, and almost $10,000 came from the earlier Chapter House fund, from gifts by alumni and undergraduates, and from temporary loans. Although at first the financial proposition looked formidable and forbidding, it did not prove difficult of solution, and our experience as pioneers in building a Chapter House at Bowdoin has been of great benefit to the other Fraternities there which have since built houses of their own. In all, no fewer than 250 of the members of Theta Chapter, representing nearly all of the classes in its history, contributed money toward the building of the Chapter House, making it a monument to the A K E loyalty that never dies. The house was built in 1900 by Smith & Rumery, contractors, of Portland. The historic old house which had stood on the lot for generations, was sold for $100 and moved away, and the Chapter House was built almost exactly upon its site. Work was begun in April, and when the alumni returned in large num- bers, as usual at Commencement time, the house was 90 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. closed in and had assumed shape, so that its appear- ance was most satisfactory to all. In addition to the directors, a building committee had been appointed, of which Walter G. Davis, '79, was chairman, and of which several of the directors were members. Of this committee, Dr. Whittier, '85, residing in Brunswick all the time, was able constantly to watch the progress upon the house and attend to a multitude of details. When the undergraduates returned to College in September the house was so near completion that the members of the Senior delegation, in anticipation of moving into it, gave up their rooms on the campus and roomed outside the College during the Fall term. On the night of October 19, 1900, although not quite ready for occupancy, the house was used for the purposes of the annual initiation, and the members of the 1904 delegation were received into the fellowship of A K E within its walls. A little later in the Fall the house was ready for occupancy, the members of the upper delegation moved into their rooms, and the eating club was transferred to it from the corner of Maine and Noble streets, where it had been for several years. With what happiness and pride was that transfer made ! And suffice it to say, as to the conditions that have since prevailed, that nothing has arisen to make the house anything but a blessing and benefit to the Chapter and to the College; nothing has occurred to give either the builders or occupants regret or embar- rassment. On the contrary, in the administration of the house, financially and in all other respects, the hopes of the most optimistic have been realized and the THE HOUSE A REALITY. 91 effects of its possession have been wholly salutary. If there were any skeptics or scoffers when Bowdloin's first and best Chapter House was built, they have been silenced. And now, with this brief and imperfect summary of the movements which finally resulted in the erection of the Chapter's home, let us look at the the house house itself and its surroundings. In the a reality, first place, the lot is without an equal for its purposes in the town of Brunswick. Its situation is ideal, and its great size, with many stately elms bordering it and scattered over it, add infinitely to its attractiveness. The house is of the Colonial type — the kind, outside and inside, that one never tires of, and which is always in fashion, while other types of architecture come and go. The picture of the house and grounds as given elsewhere in this volume, speaks for itself and makes unnecessary any description of the exterior. As we go in the front entrance we enter a large hall or living room, extend- ing through. To the right, on the front, is the library, and' to the left is the pool room. In the rear of the library, and reached by a passage, are two guest rooms. Back of the pool room, in the wing, and across the passage that leads from the living room to the end piazza, is the dining room. On this floor there are four fireplaces, in the living room, library, pool room and dining room respectively, and in the first three of these rooms there are numer- ous window seats, cosey corners and inglenooks, which add vastly to their attractiveness and comfort. In the 92 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. living room are many pictures of distinguished alumni of the Chapter, convention groups, and other A K E Chapter Houses. There are also several groups of the active Chapter at different times in recent years, and pictures of the officers and directors of the Theta Chapter House Association, and the members of the building committee. In this room stands the piano at the foot of the broad staircase, and on the shelves which flank the capacious back window seat are the bound volumes of the various Bowdoin publications, also the bound Quarterlies, the catalogues, song books, exchange annuals, etc. The library is the most beautiful room of the house, and the finish, the mantel, the book-cases, the paper, the furnishings, and the pictures, are the richest and in perfect harmony. The shelves are well filled, thanks to the generosity of the alumni brothers; and not the least interesting volumes upon them are the photo- graph albums containing individual pictures of all the members of the Chapter in recent years. In the corri- dors and hall upstairs hang the framed pictures of almost every delegation since the early 'sixties. The pool room, with its cosey inglenook, is the favorite loafing place and smoking room. On the walls are mounted deer heads, college banners, and many steins and trophies. The dining room is large and light, and will comfortably seat half a hundred. The tables and chairs in this room were the gift of John Prescott Webber, '03, shortly before the accident which cost his life. On all the silverware are stamped THE HOUSE A REALITY. 93 the three mystic letters, and on all the china is burned the Chapter coat of arms. The second floor is reached by a broad staircase from the living room, and here are suites of rooms for fourteen students, also bath rooms, linen closets, etc. On the third floor are studies and sleeping rooms for six more students, and also the large Fraternity hall. In the basement of the house are the kitchen, pantry, store room, furnace room, etc. About half the mem- bers of the Chapter, that is, those in the upper delega- tions, room in the house, but all the undergraduates take their meals here and all enjoy its privileges. A great part of the furnishings of the house, such as the pool table, leather window seat cushions, the heavy rugs, the pictures, the clocks, the window screens, and ornaments and relics too numerous to mention, were generously contributed by loyal alumni. The first dele- gation to graduate after the house was occupied, namely the delegation of 1901, gave the A K E pin in leaded glass in the Fraternity colors, in the circular window high over the front entrance. When the incandescent lights are glowing behind this window the effect is striking as one approaches the house. The Chapter House was dedicated with its first great gathering of alumni members during Commencement week, 1901. The house was of course the head- quarters and chief object of interest of all the return- ing alumni brothers during the whole week, but the reunion came, as usual, on Wednesday evening, and it was an occasion to be remembered. It was thoroughly informal and as thoroughly delightful. Most of the 94 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. time was spent in looking over the house, renewing old times, meeting the active members, etc., but after the refreshments had been served there were an oration and poem to give the occasion its fitting literary dig- nity. There were present nearly one hundred alumni members of the Chapter, and these with the under- graduates made a goodly and enthusiastic number to tell in song and story and speech the glories of our beloved Fraternity. The alumni present represented over thirty classes in Theta's history, and it was the largest gathering of our alumni on record with the exception of that famous semi-centennial reunion in 1894, which has been told about on a previous page. The Orator and Poet of that semi-centennial reunion were chosen as the Orator and Poet of the house dedi- cation reunion, seven years later, not from any lack of orators and poets, but because everybody wanted to hear these two again. The Orator was Ex-Attorney- General Orville D. Baker, '68, of Augusta, and the Poet, Judge Henry S. Webster, '67, of Gardiner, the former conceded to be the most brilliant and eloquent public speaker in Maine, and the latter a witty and graceful writer. As the subject of his oration Mr. Baker took the original motto of the Fraternity and, in the masterly fashion of his great legal demonstrations, showed the true significance of that motto and its vast influence. In conception and execution the oration was a gem, and it was received with great enthusiasm. Judge Webster's poem, after a humorous introduction, closed with the following dedicatory lines : KINSHIP WITHIN THE CHAPTER. 95 "And may these walls, whose builders have so well Performed the task entrusted to their hands, Be Learning's home and Friendship's citadel, Where we, obedient to our heart's commands, "May meet as pilgrims at a holy shrine, Yet not for penance or for rites austere, But in the spirit of that jovial line By Chaucer made to all the world so dear. "Forever stand, ye walls, and be ye now Forever and forever dedicate To Wisdom of the clear and lofty brow, Prompting her sons to deeds supremely great ; "To Honor, standing with his spotless shield, Warder against the ribald crew of shame; To Truth, whose treasuries alone can yield Enduring riches and undying fame; "To Love, white-robed, sincere, immaculate, Mother of Graces, Queen of Joy and Song. Well may her sacred presence guard our gate And keep our bonds forever close and strong." As we look over the membership lists of the Chapter there is interest in observing to what extent the ele- ment of kinship figures ; how many mem- kinship ^ )ers ^ ave contributed sons to A K E ; within the h° w many members have been able to chapter, speak of others as brothers by ties of blood as well as by the bonds of the Fraternity. In the brief biographical sketches later in this volume the family relationships within the Fraternity are indi- cated as far as they are known to the writer, but it is 96 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. quite possible that there are other instances not recorded there, particularly where fathers have had sons in other Chapters of A K E than Theta. As far as can be ascertained, thirty-three members of our Chap- ter have given sons to the Fraternity. The sons of eighteen have been members of Theta Chapter, and the sons of fifteen have been members of other Chapters : six in Phi at Yale ; four in Alpha at Harvard ; four in Sigma at Amherst; two in Tau at Hamilton; two in Theta Zeta at the University of California, and one in Xi at Colby. Our Chapter has had twenty-nine members who were sons of Dekes, twenty-one being the sons of members of Theta, and eight the sons of members of Xi at Colby. The first son of an active member to be initiated into the Chapter was W. E. Hatch, '75, whose father was S. W. Hatch, '47. There were, however, several sons of honorary members in earlier classes than '75. Among the present undergraduate members there are six whose fathers were members before them. No fewer than one hundred and twenty-two members of Theta have had brothers in the Fraternity. The most noticeable instances of this degree of kinship are in the Pickard, Payson and Baxter families. Of the first named there were five brothers who became mem- bers of the Fraternity in its earliest years; the oldest was an honorary member of Theta, and the others were in Theta, '46, '48, and '57, and in Sigma Chapter at Amherst, '58. There were four Payson brothers in the delegations of '76, '80, '81 and '93 respectively, and four Baxter brothers in the delegations of '78, '81, B* #* > jjji$$r w < D Q < o « w Q 2; D SOME OF THE PRIZES AND HONORS. 97 '94 and '98. The first instance, as far as the writer knows, of three generations in A K E, came with the initiation of J. B. Drummond and W. B. Drum- mond as members of Theta, '07. Their father was a member of Xi Chapter, Colby, 'TJ, and their grand- father was J. H. Drummond, Xi, '46, the beloved founder and patron saint of the Chapter at Colby. Of the more remote degrees of kinship, as uncles, nephews and cousins, there have been about fifty instances in our Chapter, and these are also indicated in the biographical sketches. In general, the matter of kinship has been an important element in the Chapter's prosperity and strength, and will doubtless figure even more prom- inently in the coming years than it has in the past. It is natural and proper that those of the same family should be in the same Fraternity, and this rule has very generally prevailed at Bowdoin except in a few iso- lated instances where circumstances have arisen to modify it. The story of our Chapter would be incomplete indeed if no summary were given of the prizes and honors won by its members in scholar- op ship, athletics, and other forms of under- the prizes graduate activity. Such distinctions are and honors, tangible pieces of evidence by which a Fraternity is largely judged by its con- temporaries and by the world, though they by no means measure the full life, fellowship, influence and strength of the organization. The best college Fraternity is not one whose members are all "digs" or all athletes or all 98 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. prayer meeting leaders or all "sports," but one whose members are at the front in various lines and who are all true gentlemen and good fellows together, with the Fraternity ideal and the Fraternity bond never lost sight of. Such an all around Fraternity has Theta of A K E been during the past sixty years, and such it aims to be in the future. Tables of figures would be dry things, and there is no occasion to make specific comparisons with the achievements of other Fraternities, but we cannot refrain from giving a few figures taken from the Col- lege records, which are open to all, which demonstrate that the Chapter motto, "We Stand Among the First," is true not only of Theta's chronological position in our Fraternity's history, but also of its position at Bowdoin along all lines in which it is honorable to excel ; more- over, it is an easy task as well as a pleasant one for the historian of the Chapter to show that it has distanced all competitors in taking the highest undergraduate prizes and honors. And in reading the figures given on the following pages it should constantly be borne in mind that IKE at Bowdoin has never had fewer than three strong rival Fraternities, and that in recent years the number has grown to six or seven. Taking first the matter of scholarship honors, it may safely be asserted that neither for the sixty years as a whole nor for any considerable portion of it has Theta been outranked by a rival. The encouragement of sound scholarship among its members has been an aim always kept prominently in view, and the results speak for themselves. The founders of the Chapter were men SOME OF THE PRIZES AND HONORS. 99 of high rank in scholarship; one of them was elected to Phi Beta Kappa; another won the Junior Decla- mation Prize — one of the two or three prizes then awarded — and one of the first initiates of the young Chapter was later the Salutatorian of the class of '46. The sixty years that have followed have been worthy of that beginning. With one solitary excep- tion, every class which has graduated from Bowdoin in all that period has had members of Theta Chapter both among its Phi Beta Kappa men and among its Commencement speakers. Moreover, in twenty-two of those classes the man ranking the highest in scholar- ship has been a member of our Chapter, and in an even larger number of classes the Chapter has furnished the men ranking second in the class. No rival Fraternity can approach these figures. In one class, — that of 1870, — nine of the twelve men elected to Phi Beta Kappa were members of A K E. In another class, - — that of 1875 — the three highest ranking men, Hall, Cressey, and Holmes, were all Dekes and practically tied for first place. In several other classes both the first and second men have been Dekes, those of 1893 and 1901 being the most recent cases of this kind. In the history of the Chapter a total of one hundred and fifty-one of its members have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa — a far larger number than any rival Fraternity can boast of, and a proportion of our membership which speaks most eloquently of the high average of scholarship maintained. Touching on the individual prizes and awards, it may be said that only two of them — the Junior and IOO THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. Sophomore Declamation Prizes — are as old as the Fraternity system at Bowdoin. In both of these Theta Chapter has beaten all rivals, its members winning thirteen firsts and twelve seconds of the former, and fifteen firsts and fourteen seconds in the latter. The English Composition Prizes were established a few years later, and of these our members have won thirty- four firsts and twenty-two seconds, again distancing the field. Of the more modern prizes, members of A K E have won the Sewall Latin Prize twelve times ; the Sewall Greek Prize eight times ; the Smyth Mathematical Prize eight times; the First Brown Extemporaneous Composition Prize six times, and the Second Prize ten times ; the Goodwin Commencement Prize, four times, and the Class of '68 Prize, seven times. In three of these six prizes all rivals have been beaten, and in the other three second place is taken. Of the two prominent prizes still later established, the Pray English Prize, founded by one of our honor- ary members, has been won by Dekes six times out of thirteen times awarded; and the Noyes Political Economy Prize has been won by Dekes three times out of five times awarded. It is needless to add that all rivals have been beaten in these two prizes. Of other prizes from time to time awarded in various branches, the members of Theta have never failed to win their share. Particularly creditable were the successive captures of the St. Croix Debate Prize, awarded sev- eral times in the 'seventies. The most lucrative prize now within reach of Bowdoin men is the Charles Carroll Everett Scholarship, established by Charles SOME OF THE PRIZES AND HONORS. IOI Carroll Everett, Theta, '50. This yields about $500 annually, to be given to the Bowdoin graduate deemed best qualified to take a post graduate course in this or some other country. It was awarded for the first time in 1903, and appropriately enough it was conferred upon a member of AK E — A. S. Dyer, '91. In the establishment of the various branches of athletics as each in turn came to the front at Bowdoin, members of Theta Chapter were particularly promi- nent, and in each branch have Dekes since been con- spicuous leaders. Baseball, the oldest of our college sports, has been played at Bowdoin for no fewer than twelve seasons, with Dekes as captains of the nine. To any man who has followed the history of this game at our College, the names of Payson, Jacobs, Wright, Dearth, Pushor,^ Talbot, Hilton, Plaisted, Hinckley, Fairbanks, Haines, Bacon, Havey and Cox suggest some of its most brilliant stars. It was the same in rowing while that continued a popular branch of athletics at Bowdbin. On the first intercollegiate crew that was sent to the Regatta at Springfield, in 1872, two of the six men were Dekes — A. G. Ladd, '73, and C. H. Hunter, '74- On the occa- sional intercollegiate crews and the many class crews of the twenty years that followed, Theta was always well represented. W. G. Reed, '82, was captain of the crew sent by Bowdoin to the Lake George Regatta, in 188 1 ; and C. E. Adams, '84, captain and stroke of the Bowdoin crew at the Saratoga Regatta, in 1894. The captain of the Bowdoin crew at the Lake Quin- sigamond Regatta, in 1885, was P. N. Whittier, '85. 102 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. This crew won the race in the fastest time that had ever been made by a four-oared crew, but its record was broken by the victorious Bowdoin crew on Lake George the following year, of which H. C. Jackson, '91, was a member. From first to last Theta always had more than its share of the members of the class crews, and it is worthy of note that on the last class crew to race upon the Androscoggin — that represent- ing the class of '97 — three of the four men were Dekes— C. S. Sewall, J. M. Shute and H. B. Rhines. In the first game of football ever played at Bowdoin with an outside eleven — that played with Tufts, Octo- ber 12, 1889, four men on the Bowdoin team were Dekes. From that time to this on every Bowdoin eleven some of the most strenuous gridiron heroes have been members of our Chapter; and five of Bow- doin's fifteen football captains have been Dekes — a larger number than any rival Fraternity can boast of. No Bowdoin man of recent years will forget the work done by Cothren, Bartlett, the Hilton brothers and Carleton in the early years of the game; or the vic- tories won under the leadership of Fairbanks, who was more feared by rival colleges than any other man who ever wore a Bowdoin sweater; or the playing of Dewey, Stubbs, Eastman and Bates in the middle 'nineties ; or how Veazie, by a run of sixty yards with Fairfield interfering, saved the game with the Univer- sity of Maine, in 1896, from being a tie ; or how Bacon won the game with Bates, in 1899 ; or how Bodwell in every game that Bowdoin played for four years, showed himself the greatest center that ever played in SOME OF THE PRIZES AND HONORS. IO3 Maine; or how Porter scored on Harvard, in 1902, after a run of one hundred and five yards ; or how opposing lines were bucked by Wilson, one of the lightest and pluckiest fullbacks ever seen on a college gridiron. In field and track athletics from the time of the field days over in Topsham down to the present, no Frater- nity at Bowdoin can compare with ours in its long list of star athletes. The first team sent to Worcester, when Bowdoin became a member of the New England Intercollegiate Athletic Association, went there under the captaincy of a Deke, Carleton, '93; and the first team to bring back the championship from Worcester was led by a Deke, Godfrey, '99. Theta has also furnished another track captain in Nutter, '03, the best half mile runner that the State ever knew, giving A K E three track captains, a total unequalled by any Fraternity. In several of the recent Maine Inter- collegiate Field Days when Bowdoin has won the championship, half, or nearly half, of its points have been won by Dekes; and among the field and track athletes of the present time none are better known in Maine than Denning, the State champion in the weights, and Bates, the State's fastest sprinter. The first tennis court at Bowdoin was that con- structed by the members of Theta, near South Apple- ton, in 1886, and upon it nearly all the tournaments have since been played. In these tournaments and in the intercollegiate matches the members of Theta have always taken a prominent part, and conspicuous among the college and State champions whom it has furnished 104 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. have been Dana, '94, Dana, '01, and Paine, '03. In concluding this brief mention of some of the laurels won by sons of Theta in athletics, we point to the beautiful Whittier Field, named in honor of the man who made it a reality— Dr. F. N. Whittier, '85, the ever loyal Deke and the man who has done more than any other for athletics at Bowdoin. Scholarship and athletics are not the only fields in which undergraduate honors are won. In college journalism at Bowdoin the members of Theta have been particularly prominent. Since the Bugle became an annual, six numbers have been issued with a mem- ber of A K E as editor-in-chief. A much better record has been made in the case of the Orient, of which thirteen volumes out of thirty-two have been published with a member of A K E as editor-in-chief. The Quill was founded by Baxter, '98, and in four years out of the eight that this literary monthly has existed the chairman of its editorial board has been a Deke. In the cases of the Orient and Quill no other Fraternity approaches the record of ours. The songs and the singing of our Fraternity are justly famed, and it is fitting that within the past decade four leaders of the Bowdoin Glee Club have been members of Theta. Perhaps no undergraduate honor at Bowdoin is more highly prized than that of being chosen Popular Man by the Junior Class and thereby made the recipient of the coveted Wooden Spoon on Ivy Day. Since the establishment of this custom by the Class of '76 the honor has fallen twelve times to members of Theta, A FEW FIGURES. 105 while no other Fraternity has won it more than seven times. The names on the membership roll of Theta Chapter reach a total of 635 ; this includes the 26 honorary members and the 39 members of the present a few active Chapter. Deducting these two classes, figures, there are 570 active alumni members of the Chapter, of whom 407 are living, and 163 dead. Three of the 26 honorary members are living. Among the biographical sketches on the following pages the incomplete life records of nine are con- cluded with the words, "Cannot be traced." These have all been classed as living, although it is highly probable that several are dead. No doubt a little more time than has been possible in the preparation of this volume would clear up most of these cases. The number of men in Theta Chapter from the classes of 1845 to 1907 inclusive has averaged 9.67 from each class. The largest delegations were from the classes of '54, '57, '82, and '91, each numbering 16 men ; and the smallest were from the classes of '45, '83, and '86, each of which contained but two men. Among Theta's members have been 18 who came to Bowdoin from other colleges where they had been made mem- bers of the Fraternity. Of these, 12 have come from Xi Chapter at Colby ; three from Gamma Phi at Wes- leyan ; two from Sigma at Amherst, and one from Pi at Dartmouth. On the other hand, 12 men initiated into Theta Chapter and leaving Bowdoin before the completion of their course, have affiliated with Chap- ters of the Fraternity at other colleges. Of these, 106 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. six have become members of Pi at Dartmouth; two have gone to Sigma at Amherst ; and one each to Phi at Yale, Theta Chi at Union, Upsilon at Brown, and Epsilon at Williams. Of the 570 alumni members of Theta, 455 received their degrees from Bowdoin; 24 left Bowdoin to complete their course in other institu- tions; 17 died as undergraduates; 16 left their studies to go to the front in the Civil War, and the remainder for various reasons failed to complete their college work. In the last named class are those compelled to leave college on account of ill health or through finan- cial reasons; also the number, probably not too small to be noted, who had their difficulties with an obdurate Faculty concerning curriculum requirements or dis- cipline regulations. Of the 455 to graduate from Bowdoin to date, no fewer than 151 — almost exactly one-third — have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, a proportion which strikingly shows the high scholar- ship standard of Theta, even without the long list of prizes and honors summarized on earlier pages. A word as to the lines of life work chosen by Theta's alumni: we find that 155 have become lawyers; 88, teachers; yy, physicians; 56, merchants or manu- facturers; 48, clergymen; 16, bankers, and 13 jour- nalists, while 85 have chosen various other professions, such as the civil service, service in the army or navy, engineering, literature, insurance, railroading, mining, farming, etc. The small number not included in any of these classifications are those who have died very soon after graduation and a few recent graduates who are not yet fully determined as to their life work. A FEW FIGURES. 107 Among the teachers are included the college professors and school superintendents. It needs only a brief glance through the following pages to show that in every one of these professions Theta has sons who are in the front rank, men of national, and in several cases, international, fame. In the matter of high civil honors it is to be noted that Theta has had no fewer than five representatives in the United States Senate, and seven in the United States House of Representatives. The former are Blaine and Hale, honorary members, and Grover, '48, Gibson, '51, and Washburn, '54. The latter are Benson, Blaine, Gilman and Hale, honorary members, and Grover, '48, Washburn, '54, and Alexander, '70. Grover was the first member of A K E to become a member of Congress. At the present time our Chap- ter is represented in the Senate by Hale of Maine and Gibson of Montana; and in the House by Alexander of New York. Among the sons of Theta have also been governors, Federal and State judges, mayors, legislators, United States attorneys, and other high officials at Washington and in many of the states. Considered as to geographical distribution, the alumni of Theta are to be found in 43 states, territories and foreign countries. Of course, the vast majority of them were born in Maine, and this State is now the home — or, in the case of those deceased, was the resi- dence at time of death — of 242, considerably less than one-half. The others are credited as follows : Massa- chusetts, 99; New York, 48; New Hampshire, 23; Illinois, 19; California, 17; District of Columbia, 14; I08 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. Minnesota, 12; Pennsylvania, 10; Connecticut, seven; Colorado, New Jersey, Washington and Wisconsin, six each; Louisiana and Montana, five each; Texas and Rhode Island, four each ; Indiana, Nebraska, Ten- nessee and Oregon, three each; Iowa, Michigan and Kentucky, two each; Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, North Caro- lina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, France, Hawaii, Mexico and Turkey, one each. It is probable that this list would be extended if full data could be obtained concerning those whom the writer has been unable to trace.
