The Phi Chi medical fraternity was founded at the University of Vermont in 1889 and has since grown to be the largest medical fraternity, having thirty- six chapters. The Psi chapter, established in 1906, has always maintained an outstanding reputation, both scholastically and socially. During the war years the standards of the fraternity were not lowered and, in fact, the spirit was substantially increased. Both on the fighting front and the home front Phi Chi traditions were maintained. In spite of the drawbacks of the accel- erated program, we managed to have as many activities as usual, having a vic- tory garden for three years, winning the professional fraternity soft-ball league last year, and participating in other events. With a return of a normal pro- gram there will probably be a rise in the spirit as the good derived by the war years is coupled with the color of peace time activities. 258

Nu Sigma Nu, Alpha chapter, was founded on March 2, 1882, as the first Medical fraternity in this country. The founding sprang from the need for a supporting, protecting fellowship among doctors. Today Nu Sigma Nu numbers some forty chapters and ten thousand members including some of the most able men of Medicine in the world. Alpha chapter, under the guid- ing influence of Dr. Fredrich G. Novy, is flourishing with an active member- ship of thirty-five. Plans for a new chapter house are again being considered. Our scholarship has maintained its high average throughout the war, and our goal is still the betterment of our profession and the intra-professional rela- tionship. 257
