GERALD SINGER ARLY in October, 1947, a national law fraternity with few eastern chap- ters sent letters to New York law schools inviting students to form chap- ters. Here, at Brooklyn Law School, Morton Fried began the organization of some two dozen students of all races and creeds preparatory to forming a chapter of the fraternity. After two months of preliminary work the group elected Melvin Cagan, Chancellor, Vernon Weekes, Vice-Chancellor, Arthur Selznick, Exchequer, jerry T. Fletcher, Scribe, Victor Cohen, Scrivener, and Gerald Singer, Sergeant-at-Arms. An executive committee was also elected. A constitution having been drafted and adopted, mostly through the dili- gent labors of Melvin Heiko, Ronald Cohen, and Gerald Halpern, a delegate was sent to the national convention of the fraternity in Baltimore, Md., the week-end of March 26-8, 1948. After much consultation, our group found the national fraternity to be unacceptable because of its mode of organization. Rather than reorganize in accord with the standards imposed by the nHtiOf121l organization the members decided to form independently. The name chosen was Beta Nu Epsilon. Committees to carry on the various phases of the fraternity's work were appointed as provided for in Beta Nu Epsilon's constitution, and a ladies' auxi- liary is in a formative stage. Beta Nu Epsilon looks forward to a long and useful existence in Brooklyn Law School. glle 194 8 G!LCZl'lCQ!!OI' Page Sevenzy ezglal

HI Delta Phi Fraternity, Evarts Inn, founded in 1904 has had a long and varied history. It has played an important role in the student life of the Law School. Many graduates of this School who have attained positions of note have been members of Evarts Inn, Phi Delta Phi. Among this group are john Ben- nett, '26, Deputy Mayor of New York City, Thomas Cuff, 112, New York State Supreme Court Judge, joseph Conroy, '16, former judge in Queens County Court, Peter Horn, '24, New York City Magistrate, Harold Kennedy, IZ3, Fed- eral Iudge, George Matheson, '17, Dean of St. johns University Law School, Quentin Reynolds, '50, international correspondent, Thomas Towers, '06, New York City Court judge. These are just a few of those who have played an important part in our civilization. Others not mentioned here have contributed in ways equally as important to our civilization in these United States. During the past school year many successful smokers have been carried out by the Brooklyn Law School Chapter of Phi Delta Phi. A number of faculty members have attended and participated in the festivities. Among the faculty members present were Professors Block, Flouton, Gershenson, Maloney, Mur- phy, Sealy and Weyrauch. Evarts Inn was represented by William E. Doherty, past Magister and Fred- eric E. Strong, Exchequer, at the 28th Convention of Phi Delta Phi which was held at Many Glacier Hotel, Glacier National Park, Montana, from September 5rd to 6th, 1947. Phi Delta Phi had a truly fine group representing many of its chapters which are located in colleges extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican Border. The annual initiation was held on April 17, 1948 at the Chapter rooms of the Fraternity and several new members were initiated into the Inn. The initia- tion ceremonies were followed by a banquet at the Hotel Bossert. Evarts Inn, Phi Delta Phi, has made a Hne recovery from the lean years of World War II. The fraternity can now boast of a sound financial standing and a membership that would be a great asset to any thriving fraternity. Among its members there are humorists, scholars, organizers and dynamic personalities. These men, too, will make lasting impressions on their generation. PH S fymfff 1948 Gfzcmceffof
