BETA BI-ICD Two hundred sixteen THE BETA BI-IO fraternity was organized in October, 1936. Its members are composed of students who are desirous of promoting fellowship and a broader medical outlook. Frankly, it is definitely determined that all of its members shall be good scholars, regular fellows, and gentlemen. Because of the youth of the fraternity, much time and effort has been expended in its organi- zation program. Shortly, it expects to become affiliated with a national medical fraternity. At present, there are twelve active members, whose co-operation and close friendship have formed a firm foundation for the expected rapid growth of the organization. It affords the bene- fits of friendship and affiliation with a national and highly honored fraternity.

ESTABLISHED IN 1892 In October 1902 therefore, due to its evident need, the first register of Alpha Sigma ap- peared. lt was published and edited by Walter Edmond Nichols, then grand president of the fraternity. Although successful it never became a periodic publication. It was again published in 1910 and 1912, and finally in 1920. For one of two reasons these other chapters of Alpha Sigma gradually became inactive. Either the medical college was unable to weather the hectic years during the Great War, or else the alumni of these chapters failed to stimulate properly the interest of the under- graduate. At the New York Medical College, Alpha Sigma has not only kept the undergrad- uates interested in fraternity activities, but more than that, we have held our alumni in closer bond than many medical fraternities elsewhere. Meetings are held at the New York Athletic Club on the first Saturday of every month from October to May inclusive. Papers on medical topics are here discussed and matters of gen- eral fraternal interest are talked over. In ad- dition, the two annual formal dances of Alpha Sigma-one sponsored by the active chapter and the other by the alumni-serve further to solidify the union between Alpha Sigma men. - . . . fi it 1 1 MEMBERS 1939 Whitelaw Birss Andrew C.
