Ogle, Linco-ln, Ill. The Xi Psi Phi Fraternity was the first fraternity or- ganized in the Indiana Dental College, and the men who have been upon her rollare men, who, today, hold impor- tantwpositions on college faculties or have desirable prac- tices in many of o-ur leading cities.- Today we have la membership of o-ne hundred and twenty men, including both alumni and active chapter men. It has- ever been the work of Theta Chap-ter to secure for her membership men who are earnest workers and good students, men who are honored .andgrespected by the faculty and student body. Since her organization, as in all other societies of a similar nature, a part of the time has been spent in deriving pleasure for her members andkeeping them in close touch with one another. To ac- complish this, during each collegiate year we secure a frat- house or rooms, where all can meet together, for under such conditions a stronger fraternal spirit is manifest. In the year Igoo we were located in a frat-house on North Meridian Street, in the block where the government building is now being erected. In 1902-og, we had rooms in the building on the corner of Delaware and Ohio Streets, just across from the college. On,December 5, 1903, we moved into our house at 512 North Delaware Street, where we now are comfortably situated, in such a manner that all can enjoy the true college life in a fraternity. At the pres- ent time, Theta Chapter has nineteen active members, who are working with a zeal, gaining ideas of betterment for her and the college. A. I. AUGHINBAUGH.

VQI:lge prognosis : gmnfana Bwtal college z 1904 amirmi XI PSI PHI FRATERNITY K1 4 f HE Xi Psi Phi Fraternity is a na- tional organization governed by a Su- ! I A preme Chapter, which meets yearly, and whose membership is composed T MT!-A fi-ig of representatives from the active men X and alumni of the different Greek- J- -X. 'MDA letter chapters. Today we have chap- ters in seventeen of the various Dental Colleges throughout the United States and Canada, Xi Psi Phi being the only Fraternity having a chapter in any country other than the United States. , The different chapters are all incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are located, thus giving them authority similar to that by which all well organized bodies are governed. Theta Chapter, of the Xi Psi Phi Fraternity, was organ- ized December 9, 1893, with a charter membership of twen- ty-four. Students from each class of the Indiana Dental College composed the number. They received their charter from the Supreme Chapter in April, 1894, and from that time until the present, Theta Chapter has held an honored position, both socially and as a student body, in the history of the Indiana Dental College. During the eleven years of Theta's existence the following men have wielded the gavel and have maintained for their chapter the esteem of both faculty and students of the college: ,Q3-,Q4, 0. C. Carr, Fowlerville, Ind. '94-'95, R. S. Viberg, Fort Wayne, Ind. ,Q5-,Q6, F. H. Walters, Langsbury, Mich. ,Q6-,Q7, J. L. Rideout, Danville, Ill. '97-'98, A. L. Jennings, Attica, Ind. ,Q8-,QQ, S. A.
