All I' NEI 22 ' l THE HAMILTONIAN, 1 l l I A rel Ursrtojll. fIFTY years ago, in a Union College room, seven young men met together to , discuss the existing state of internal college affairs. Their meeting resulted' in 'xx . . . I . the foundation of a society for mutual counsel and mdg and their union soon developed into the formation of Psi Upsilon. The menbwho thus laid the founda- tion of the fraternity were Samuel Goodale, L. G. Hadley, Edward Martindale, G. W . Tuttle, Robert Barnard, C. W. Harvey and M. H. Stewart, of Whom five still live to see the dawn of its fiftieth birthday, 4' i The young organization rapidly grew in numbers and popularity. In the- following year its second Chapteriwas established in New York University. During the succeed- ing decade in quick succession, but since then more slowly, Chapters have -been added in the principal Eastern Colleges, until the number has now reached eighteen. Har- vard's faculty compelled the withdrawal of all secret societies, H11 If among others, but with that exception Q T. and she alone boasts a Chapter list unstarred. In 1843 the Psi Chapter was established at Hamilton College. Among its founders were Hon. Perry H. Smith, Hon. B. F. Chapman, A. G.Williazns and the late X. A.Willard. From avery early time in its history the fraternity has held annual conventions, entertained by the Chapters in turn, Nine catalogues of, W1 14, have been published, the last of which 118795 has been considered the most complete publication of its kind ever issued. The Diamond, edited at Schenectady by members of the Union College Chapter, is the official organ of the society. In the principal cities of' the land, Alumni Chapters have been .insti- tuted, including a prosperous one at Washington, of which President Arthur is a. mem- ber. The membership of Psi Upsilon is something over 6,000.
