OFFICERS Lawrenci W. Ryan President Jack S. Campbeli ' Vice-President A. S. Roberts Sec retary E. Gail ki c. Treasure! Alpha Sigma Fraternity was founded by a group of students of the New York Homeopathic Medical College in 1893. Subsequently, nine other chapters were formed at various other medical colleges throughout the country. Beta Chapter was founded tour cais latei In Hahne- mann students. Since that time, Alpha Sigma has been continuously active at Hahnemann and now boasts a large number of members among the faculty as well as hundreds among the gradu- ates. Student membership at present includes nearly one hunched brothers. Activities of the fraternit) include business meetings, monthly dinner meetings, several dances, and an annual smoker. Those ol the medical profession recognize probably more than any other group, the neces shy for intimate social relationship in the foster- ing ol man ' s hopes, ideals, and inspirations. Ihus. we of Alpha Sigma hold this relationship as basic in the importance of our fraternity and we believe that by its virtue we shall be aided much in our efforts to become physicians well worthy of our profession. 25
