DELANCEY KANE, one of the Princeton members, who removed to Franklin and Marshall. It was not long after this that the trustees of Princeton placed a new ban upon secret societies, and among the rest, the Chi Phi Chapter at Princeton became extinct. Meanwhile a new Chapter had been founded at Hobart College, at Geneva, and upon the latter and the Zeta Chapter of Franklin and Marshall depended the perpetuation of the Order. From the Zeta was formed a Chapter at Edinburgh University, Scotland, and sev- eral Chapters in Southern colleges, that, from the high rank of their .Hire ' Hg x X ' til' :iii :K AZ., ' I fl'l the Zeta Chapter at that institution, leaving it under the guardian- gig 4 Q W ,, gl ii V i l Iwi I l .G .A Vi it il' I I vi it ,ii 4 I4 1 .v B' founders, at once took an equal prominence with the Chapters of the Delta Phi, Sigma Chi and Delta Psi, then the leading Fraternities at the South. The Hobart Chapter had already installed Chapters of the Order at Rutgers, Kenyon and Princeton, Kthough the latter was broken up when Dr. MCCOSH was chosen president in 18611 and a cordial intercourse was kept up between the various Chapters until the war broke out, when the Southern Chapters, through their in- tense hatred of the North. allowing not even their Fraternity to bind them to a people at war against themselves, ceased all communica- tion with the Northern Chapters 3 and it was not until I867 that the Northern and Southern Orders were again united into one. Since the union of the Northern and Southern Orders the career of Chi Phi has been prosperous in the extreme having now twenty- one active Chapters distributed among the best colleges in the Un ion besides having a Chapter at Edinburgh University Scotland it being the only Chapter of a-Greek letter fraternity outside of Amer lea The Fraternity does not elect honorary members believing that by this practice the feelmv fmlemal is in a measure lessened and deeming itself undeservtn of distinguished men if it cannot raise them up in its own ranks .5 . . la ii 5 y if -' 1 v 1 i .X E3 . 1 .
