Preface

The editor of this publication has tried to present here the sketch of every living Greek letter man and woman v^ho has done important work for his or her society. The most assiduous industry has been devoted to the gathering of these names and the collection of data. Thousands of letters of inquiry have been sent broadcast and literally hundreds of fraternity members have assisted in the work. To them we owe our most grateful obligation. If they had not assisted in the generous way they have the book could not possibly have been so complete. An omission of a suggested name does not necessarily mean it was rejected. It may have been that there was a failure to respond to our request for material. That there are omissions of some who should have been included will doubtless develop. We shall be surprised if we do not find their names in a certain catalogue in our office, on each card of which the signs are indicative of very many pieces of mail having been sent them, and their absence from the book is because they sent no answer. But these are comparatively few. The volume does include practically all those men and women who have made fine records as fraternity workers. And with the general and continual spread of Pan-Hellenic unity, there is a growing interest in the personnel of the leaders in the American College fraternities and sororities. We have told those important things about these Greeks that concern especially their fraternity work, but have frequently given enough of a glimpse of their more secular life to help to an understanding of them.

There can scarcely be assembled anywhere a company of ladies and gentlemen who could tell a finer story than those who are gathered in the pages of this book. They are the elect men and women who have traveled into the wondrous land of friendship. They have seen sights and have tales to recount which might cheer and charm a fireside company through a thousand and one nights. It may be that their tidings concern the world of the immaterial, but does that lessen their interest or their fascination ? What visions are revealed to the eye of the spirit when the magic coast of fraternity is sighted. A continent arises from the deep and on its shores are all those finer things of life — camaraderie, trueness, courage, loyalty, truth, chivalry, good faith and honor bright. It is because they have known these things that these Greek letter folk who people our book are here.

William C. Levere.

A DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES

[When the memorable Greek Conference met in Chicago in May, 1913, at which fifty-five fraternities and sororities were present, a declaration of principles was made which as representative of fraternity thought and purpose takes a high place in the history of the American College Fraternity. It is worthy of a place on the walls of every chapter house in our country. Editor.]

We, the Greek-letter societies of America, in convention assembled, do make the following declaration :

Whereas, we believe that the people of our country are not familiar with the true purposes and ideals of our societies and with the actual conditions among the same ;

Now, therefore, we, represented in convention at the City of Chicago by officers and delegates of our said societies, declare :

That it is our earnest wish and desire to inculcate in our various chapters or local societies, the principles of true womanhood

and manhood ; to promote the moral welfare of all our members ; to stimulate and encourage scholarship; to prescribe obedience to all

authority ; to encourage loyalty to and active interest in the institution where they may be located ; to foster a democratic and friendly spirit between our members and all others with whom they may be associated, and to inspire among our members a true, loyal and lasting friendship.

And we do further declare that to those ends we have, through our officers and councils, dedicated ourselves in the past and do pledge ourselves for the future, that where we fail we will remedy and where we succeed, such shall be to us only an incentive to better endeavor.

And we do further declare that our association together in such societies is in fulfillment of the natural desire of all people to seek friendship among one another, and that we consider our members not as elected to any privileges, but rather, pledged and dedicated to a life of striving for the perfection of our ideals.

And we do further declare that we welcome all sincere criticism of our conduct and lives, and do pledge ourselves to take counsel upon the same and to remedy all things wherein we may fall short of these, our ideals and principles.

And remembering our long and prosperous existence, our opportunities and hopes for the future, our thousands of great and true members now in the service of the world, the thousands of our young men and women now in our brotherly care, and the service of many good and noble men and women given to the perfecting of these ideals.

We do pledge ourselves to promote these things in all ways and to continue our efforts to that end.
