On the 28th of November, 1864, a charter was granted to three students of our University; but the existence of the society was not known outside until some months later, and the names of the members were not listed in The Palladium until 1866. In. the spring of 1869 the chapter became dormant, having initiated only twelve men in the collegiate department, and only twenty-two. in all. An attempted revival in 1877 failed, and in 1880 there was. a brief period of sub rosa activity, after which Phi Delta Theta at Ann Arbor was quiescent until November 11, 1887. Since that time the chapter has lived without interruption. Among its alumni are Judge James L. Brown, 70 l; John M. Schaeberle, '76, of the Lick Ob- servatary; Clarence G. Taylor, '81, Professor of Mechanical Practice in our University; William F. Edwards, '90, of the University of Washing- ton; and Frank H. Dixon, '92, As- sistant Professor of Political Economy K.La at Michigan. Frank H. Decke, '93, was a member of the University foot- VIGNETTE OF PHI DELTA THETA. ball team of 1892.

Kappa Phi Lambda .- This fraternity was founded in 1860- 61 at Jefferson College. It had eleven branches, nearly all of them in Western colleges, and the last of them died in 1874. The Alpha of Michigan was instituted at Michi- gan in the autumn of 1865, by J. J. Belville, Jefferson '62, and George W. Andrews, another member of the
KA
order. An excellent society was built up at Ann Arbor, but when the college year 1868-69 opened only BADGE OF KAPPA PHI LAMBDA. six men were on the ground, and the chapter dis- banded, October 3. Five members joined Psi Upsi- lon, and one entered Alpha Delta Phi. Nearly all the members are well-known men. The roll is as follows:

Delta Tau Delta was founded in December, 1859, by ·seven students of Bethany College. The early extension of the society into Pennsylvania and Ohio was soon followed by establishments in the colleges of Indiana, Illinois, ATA Michigan, and Iowa. In later years chapters have been organized in Southern and Northern states. Following is the list of the colleges now occu- pied by this society: Washington and Jefferson, BADGE OF DELTA TAU DELTA. Ohio, Allegheny, Ohio Wesleyan, Hillsdale, Ind- iana, DePauw, Illinois, Wabash, Stevens Insti- tute, Lehigh, Michigan, Indianapolis (Butler), Albion, Renn- selaer Polytechnic, Iowa, Kenyon, Georgia, Emery, Western Reserve, Minnesota, University of the South, Colorado, Missis- sippi, Vanderbilt, Wisconsin, Tufts, Massachusetts Institute, Tulane, Cornell, Northwestern, Leland Stanford, Jr., Nebraska, Ohio State, Washington and Lee, Brown, Pennsylvania, and Cali- fornia. Of the sixty-seven branches thirty-eight survive, twenty- one of which are in the West, ten in the East, and seven in the South. The fraternity colors are purple, gold, and white, and the pansy is the fraternity flower. About 5,700 men have been enrolled. The society is remarkable for the large number of its men living in the middle West; the four states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois being credited with nearly 2,000. Promi- nent among those who wore the badge of this order in their col- lege days are Senator John N. Wilson, of Washington State; Rich- ard Blue, William H. Butler, Eugene J. Hainer, Albert J. Hop- kins, John A. McDowell, and James R. Mann, Representatives in Congress; George W. Atkinson, Governor of West Virginia; Wash- ington Gardner, Michigan's Secretary of State; William K. Mc- Allister of the Supreme Court of Tennessee; Circuit Judge William L. Carpenter of Detroit; Joseph W. Mauck, President of the Uni- versity of South Dakota; Charles L. Ingersoll, late Chancellor of the University of Nebraska; Dr. James N. Martin, Emory B. Lease, Albert W. Dorr, and Warren W. Florer, now or formerly of the Faculty of our University; Wilson M.

To these should be added, from the Michigan branch, Professor Rolla C. Carpenter, '75, of Cornell University; Paul H.

Delta Tau Delta has chapter houses at the University of the South and Leland Stan- ford, Jr., University.
As early as 1866 members of this society entered the profes- sional departments of the University, and began to lay plans for the starting of a Michigan branch. In the college year 1870-71 nine or ten sophomores and freshmen were preliminarily organized into a chapter called the Xi; but other fraternities learned of the movement, and by drafting four of the members caused the rest to abandon the enterprise. In 1874, however, George W. Smith, a law student who had been a Delta Tau at Hillsdale College, suc- ceeded in launching the Delta Chapter. Late in 1876 internal dissensions-fostered by unfriendly fraternities-led to a sur- render of the charter; but the suspension did not last for long. As in the original establishment, so also in the revival of the chapter, an initiate from Hillsdale was the moving spirit; eight charter members were secured from the ranks of the "Independents "; and a reorganization was effected February 20, 1880. Admission to the pages of The Palladium was not allowed until 1883, but in the meantime the new chapter published a neat four-page account of itself with the names of its members. From 1891 to [896 the well-known Winchell mansion in North University Avenue was occupied by the chapter, and at one time the purchase of the property was planned. The society has been represented upon the University baseball nine by J. F. Gallaher, '82, C. F. Lawson, '88, and F. D. McDonell, '88. Following is the roll of the 155 members of the Delta Chapter, which includes forty-five members initiated by other branches:

A chapter of Sigma Chi called Psi was instituted at Michigan in 1874, with T. D. Cone, '76, and others as charter members, but it soon expired. Late in 1877, under the leadership of Orville S. Brumback, who had been a member at Wooster and Princeton, a chapter of Sigma Chi was formed in our law school, the literary department being thought to be fully supplied with fraternities. Theta Theta, as the new branch was called, was instituted Decem- ber 12, 1877, with twelve law students as members. After an existence of nearly seventeen years the chapter was closed by the fraternity at large, which had not looked with favor upon a branch confined to prospective lawyers. In the winter of 1896-97 Theta Theta was revived as a regular academic fraternity. Among the prominent members of this charge of Sigma Chi are the following: Orville S. Brumback, '79 l, of the Toledo Bar; D. S. McClure, '80 l, Probate Judge; George D. Meiklejohn, '80, sometime Rep- resentative in Congress and now Assistant Secretary of War; and Orla B. Taylor,'87, of the Detroit Bar. Upon the University baseball team Sigma Chi has been represented by H. B. Krogman
