I CC:-5-55 PHAIRVIAKQN SQQSO ? Ca chi few ' I 9Ae 9AQ 1 History of Delta Sigma Theta Fraternity HE HISTORY OF civilization through the countless ages is replete in varied but nevertheless essential processes of membership and organization. Begin- ning with the dawn of man's existence. membership and organization found their first expression in the family circle. We may well ask who has not heard the ancient story of the husbandmaifs advice to his sons, wherein they were enjoined to band together for the common strength and weal of the whole, because of the ineifectiveness of endeavor when divided. Following this natural law, clans, tribes and all of the successive steps toward nationalization have slowly evolved, in order to better meet the responsibilities of carrying out its ideals and to secure for their followers those things which make for happy and well rounded lives. This gradual metamorphorsis exemplifies the 'rise of Delta Sigma Theta. From a modest beginning as a small club, with the definite idea instilled, to advance the cause of ethical pharmacy and its allied sciences of medicine and dentistry, it has grown to an organization of national proportions and pharmaceutical repute. From a mere handful of men organized at the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy it now has chapters in ten leading colleges and universities, numbering in its roster of almost 2ooo members, recognized leaders in all branches of pharmacy, medicine and dentistry. In the Fall of 1914, A. Bertram Lemon, then a Post Graduate student at our College and now associated with the teaching staff of the Buffalo College of Phar- macy, along with five loyal adherents, organized the Mortar and Pestle Club of the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, for the advancement of ethical pharmacy and its allied sciences. The Mortar and Pestle Club proved to be the foundation for the Delta Sigma Theta Fraternity. The club started activities with an initial membership of twenty students and elected Sam Marcus, as temporary chairman. In 1915, the members elected their first set of Officers. Those who received the coveted honors were: BENJAMIN L. MILANA ...... Prefident HARRY GORDON . . . Vice-President. DAVID LEVINE . . . Secretary MARIO A. PELLERANO ..... Trearwer Simultaneously, with the election of officers, the club held its initial dance .at Willoughby Mansion, which proved the forerunner of many successful social functions of the club and later of the Fraternity. Gn December Ilth, 1915, the Mortar and Pestle Club received its papers of Incorporation from the University of the State of New York and was Incorporated as the Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Fraternity and chose Harry Gordon as its Chancellor. The fraternity grew by leaps and bounds and in the short space of four months the Beta Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Fraternity was organized at Columbia College of Dentistry. Rapidly, the other linksvwere forged In the fraternal chain to include Tuft's Medical College at Boston, University of Pennsylvania Dental College, Temple University of Dentistry, both in Philadelphia, College of Phar- macy of the City of New York, Flower Hospital Medical College, New York Pa ge 209 .f -PJ COA - - KU:
