The Phi Chi International Medical Fra- ternity was founded in 1889, and it was in 1948 that the society became affiliated with the Phi Chi Medical Fraternity as the Phi Alpha Chapter. With its sister chapters present in over seventy medical schools, and with its thirty brother alumni chapters, Phi Alpha has become one of the largest chapters and an integral part of the largest medical fraternity in the United States and Canada. As part of the chapter's annual activities there are bi-weekly business meet- ings, a rushing smoker to meet with incoming students and student-faculty dinners. In addition the chapter invites guest speakers for several gatherings throughout the year to provide an opportunity for its members to discuss topics of current interest with highly respected men in the field of medicine. The presentation of awards in recognition of service to the fraternity is an- other of Phi Chi's traditions. Each year at the Induction Day banquet, The Michael Carey Senior Service Award is presented to the brother in the Senior Class who has been outstanding in his efforts for the fraternity as exemplified by his service to the chapter during his active fraternal membership. With this spirit of recognition, The Eban I. Carey Award was created to be presented to the brother attaining the highest scholastic average in the anatomy course in his freshman year. The ideals and purposes of this fraternity are best set forth in the preamble to the constitution: . . . to foster and maintain among medical students and physicians who are socially and professionally compatible and regardless of race, creed, or color, a spirit of fraternalism, mutual aid and moral support, to promote and advance the concepts of the medical sciences, and to encourage activities worthy of the highest precepts of human endeavor.

In 1918 Phi Delta Epsilon and Alpha Pi Sigma, a growing western medical fraternity, signed articles of amalgamation. This union created the Phi Delta Epsilon of today which has continued to grow and prosper. It now has more than 16,500 mem- bers and more than 52 chapters from coast to coast including Canada. To honor the founder of the fraternity for his leadership and inspirational guidance, an Aaron Brown memorial lecture is sponsored each year at each of the schools where there is a chapter. In the past we have entertained such men as McDonald Critchley, the noted London neurologist, Edward Annis, a past pres- ident of the A.M.A., and Irving Cooper, the creator of cryogenic surgery. This year our guest speaker was Adrian Kantrowitz, who is doing outstanding re- search in cardiovascular surgery. Our new members, 13 in all, were recently initiated at a meeting of our New York Graduate Club. The ceremony was held at the Hotel Pierre. It was fol- lowed by a dinner which brought together students, interns, residents, faculty men, and practitioners, who are all members of the fraternity. Other activities include regular monthly meetings and several parties strategically spaced be- tween exam periods. In keeping with the fraternal ideas of excellence in leadership, scholarship, and service to the college, a scholarship fund has been established by the na- tional organization so that each year a cash prize may be awarded to the most deserving student. The fraternity has is its main objectives, to promote high scientific and edu- cational standards among its members, to promote fellowship, equality, and unity among its members, and to uphold the highest standards of ethics in the practice of medicine.
