,Q 'st VV ith the success of Alpha fUniversity of Michiganj Chapter as a Greek letter organization among de-ntal students, there came to themembers who had been zealo-us in promoting the interests of the so-ciety,iand- who had now graduated and become widely separated from each other, adesire to makeof it a permanent o-rganization: one in which they might still ,ho-ld an active interest, o-ne which should be the head of the o-rganizatio-n, and which should impart, control and exercise an interest in the organization of the undergraduate body, and to have such functions as are usually held by a parent bo-dy. Witli this end in view, a meeting was called March 2o, 1884, and the Sup-reme Chapter of the Fraternity was organized. Understanding the necessity of a closer affiliation, the Supreme Chapter organized the follo-wing auxiliary chapters: Detroit at De- troit, Chicago at,Chicago, New England at Boston, Minnesota at St. Paul, Cleveland a.t Cleveland, Philade-lp-hia at Philadelphia, and Pacihc at San Francisco. ' There are also the following Subordinate- Chapters, composed o-f undergraduates: Alpha at University of Michigan, Beta at Uni- versity of Chicago-, Gamma at Harvard University, Epsilon at Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, Zeta at Universi.ty of California, Eta at Northwestern University, Theta a.t University -of Minnesota, Iota at Detroit College of Medicine, Dental Department, Kappa at V ander- bilt University, Lambda at Vifestern Reserve' University, Mu at Tuft's College, Nu at Kansas City University, and Xi at the University of Indiana, Omega at Marion Sims College of Medicine Dental Department. p .Regarding the wonderful gro-wth of Delta Sigma Delta, from its humble beginning, little need be said. Our record is a clear one, which all may read. And all who are interested in dental progress know well that our order has, indeed, pr-o-ved itself an institution hav- ing for its foundation the moral and professional improvement of its members.

MONDAY NIGHT WITH THE FRATERJ Three score or more on Monday night, Gf college boys with motives right, A wonted place' are seeking 5 . Now those who know do often tell That here they gain a spirit well Worth the while of keeping, Not only boys with boy's noise Can find the portal he enjoys, For chapter men, down from supreme Are oft among the faces seen By anyone who there has been. There's Black and Peck and Prothero, Then Gilmer, Noyes sometimes you know, Humphrey, Snyder, ,Parker Bro., Mac., La T., and Gethero, Converse, Birkland, Mac., Waldo, Sandblom, Reese and more that go To make ofthem a goodly row. And then VVhen every nook within the den Is occupied by devil's men, The boys put on their robes-again. Old scratch himself, with horns and tail Doth o'er the others now prevail, To hasten on with business great, So that the waiting candidate May be prepared, cooked, carved and ate Now from the routine that's exacted, For the business here transacted, Not a thing can be subtracted Q So the devils all the more Earnestly their tasks go o'er, Until everything is done By the other or the one. A 2 Again they do delight To find most any night A brother late, And from his pate Has tied the sign by which He can command the burly imp Who guards the chamber door. Now in regaining it He has to cross the pit Wherein delinquent devils rnoor 1 But once across, He does confess He will forget no more. Now that all is done, The master sends out one To see if he can spy A man, the den near by, Who wants to face the danger Of devils all in anger, That he may too, provide he win, Be given right to wear a pin. INITIATION . The scout reminds That he now finds Outside in waiting, four, That we proceed ' With glut and greed These new ones to devour, The dose is mixed, The den is fixed, The pot is made to boom. Got super-hot By bones a lot, Brought from dissecting room
