I 26 THE HAMILTONIAN. I entre Ursrtopl. s W N the year 1834 there was formed in Williarns College, from the memhers of the gl classes of '36 and '37, an organization then known as the Social Fraternity. Its ob- ject was the attainment of literary culture, the strengthening of moral character, '57 and the cultivation of fraternal feeling. It grew and prospered, and a few years later Chapters were established at Union, Amherst, and, on the twentyesixth of July 1847, at Hamilton. l , , The fraternity was at first strictly anti-secret, but in 1857, feeling that opposition to forrner evils in secret societies was no longer necessary, it adopted the form of a. non- secret fraternity and changed the name to Delta Upsilon. Its purposes of organization it reaffirmed, the strict adherence to which has caused the society's history to be naught but a prosperous one. While other fraternities that have not adopted the form of secrecy have had only an ephemeral existence, the Delta. Upsilon alone has pros- pered. Her Alumni numbers something over 3,000. Among them are such men as Stephen J. Fields, of the United States Supreme Court g E. Monroe Wright, ex-Secre- tary of State of Massachusetts, David A. Wells, LL. D., ex-Governors Blair of Michii gan, Stearns of Florida, and Bross of Illinois 3 Doctors Goodwin of Chicago, Nelson of Geneva, and Pierson of Detroit q ex-Senator Morrill, of Vermont, and the late President Garfield, . The present active membership is 335 in the Chapters of Union, Amherst, Hamilton, Colby, Rochester, Middlebury, Rutgers, New York, Western Reserve, Madison, l3rown, Cornell, Marietta., Syracuse, Michigan, North Western, and Harvard College.
