E. Alderson, both of Epsilon der with the invaluable assistance of our brothers of Lambda Chapter, Chicago, a charter was granted from the Xi- Psi Phi Fraternity to the following students of North- western University Dental School, who were promptly initiated as charter members on April 16, 1900: A Alderso-n, T. E., Bascombe, C. H., Brandt, C. R., Brant Claude, De Saint, L. R., Davis, R. K., Hullho-rst, L. H., Hullum, Elmer, Kern, M. S., Miller, L. M., McStay, Earl, Northwood, R. C. Packard, H. A., Peterson, NV. E., Poole, H. F., Shill, E., Sinn J. I., Umholtz, B. M., Vlfatson, T. S., Wollfef, E. F., if ' It should be stated, however, that before the charter was granted, nearly all of th-ose who later joined as charter members, by common consent had formed themselves into an association or club and held an occasio-nalmeeting at their rooms, or in vacant quiz rooms at school, where they talked over college happenings, and where the fraternal spirit first inspired them with the idea of obtaining a charter from Xi Psi Phi. Prom the very first Xi Psi Phi showed ability to join in friendly competition with its rivals by securing as members off its fraternal faith the president and secretary of the freshman class-Brothers Packard and Cla.ude Brant, respectively. ' t A As the installation of the chapter occurred rather late in the college year, no- new men were taken in until the beginning of the present year. This year the fraternity has again shared the honors by securing the presidency and vice-presidency of the junior class for Br-others Parks and Kern. ! 1 7 Concening our new initiates, the following seven men have been introduced into the world ofthe Xi Psi Phi: F. I. McLaughlin, H. T. Wfeyhe, H. M. Ziegler and G. N. Mason, of the junior class. From the ranks of the freshman class: G. C. Burbank. treasurer of fresh- man class, R. VV. Bane and E. C. jenkins. . 260

BUCK' OF TRIBULATIO-NJ' CHAPTER 1. g , 1. In the first place there was the beginning, and the beginning was a whisper. 2. The whisper came of one from the great mass of the peopleg the whisper became louder and loudest: and finally it rose as if a mountain. 3. The multitude of people was headed by one called Nisbet. This man was of a kindly heart, but was greatly grieved, for he had not the love of all his people. 4. Nisbet, hearing of these murmurings among his people, called to the one that causest them and com- manded that he arise and speak to the people. 5. He that was addressed arose and spake unto them, saying: 6. Believest ye it would be well for us to have a book? i 7. Then the multitude answered and said, Yea! But even as they said Yea, among them were some who thinkest not well of it. ' 8. Then from out of these arose a man, saying: Believeth me, this be hasty, let us ponder. 9. Then it were left, and they pondered. xo. But the pondering was left to a few of the chosen, and these chosen returned after many days, and spake thus: 11. We believeth it is well, 12. But as ye can believe only by seeing, we have caused to be brought unto you a man from afar, who has experience and also publishest a book for other multitudes of our nations. 13. The man that was caused to be brought arose, with bared head, and spake unto the multitude and said: 14. 'iWhosoever thinkest not well of my plan had best think twice: , 15. For I come to you with boundless experience, and would have you join with me in the book of all books, The Syllabus. ' 16. The Syllabians would give to ye much, 17. H E'en as much as twenty pages. 18. Then from the multitude came rumblings. 19. As he heard these, he made haste and said: I would increase these to twenty-five pages, for mine heart warmest unto thine entreatiesf' i 20. But the murmurs increased, and from among these murmurs arose many voices calling for thirty pages. .G . R . ' 21. He, seeing there was determination, raised his palms for silence. 22. As silence came, he smiled, and said: Verily, as my heart taketh great compassion on you, yea, it shall be e'en thirty. 23. Then there arose from the multitude a mighty cheer. I 24. Then from among the multitude arose a young man, called 'Hoffer, who asketh those unanswerable questions, and said, I am not in favor of this man's Sayings, but, that we may know your pleasure, I move we accept of this man's offer. 25. Then he that is the leader arose and asketh for their wishes in regard in ilze 7lI!lffL'7 l 26. Many answered thus: This man who repre- senteth Syllabians speaketh well, and showeth us fa- vor, let us join him and become as of his people. CHAPTER II. '1. After the second day came to pass, he who was defeated received much encouragement, and again he took courage and worketh against the man of the Syllabians A ' ' 2. He spake unto some, saying, Though the book hath been rent, I say unto ye, it shall arise again in greater strength. ' 3. After many days it came to pass, and his saying became true. f 1 4. He again appeared before tl1e multitude. 5. The sun burst through a great cloud of smoke and light shone upon their faces, and he saw many friends. 6. When quietness came, he, with great hope, spake unto them, saying, I believe it were better to have a book of our own. 7. He calleth this book The Purple and Gold. 8. When he had spoken at length, he asketh for a discussion, 9. Then there arose one who saith, It would be well to have the Syllabus, because it hath the whole University in it. xo. Then another spake in parables, saying, If I should myself wish to know the location of my farm, 'twere betterl should have a map of this county, in which I live, than the map of the whole United States. 11. Then there arose great laughter. 262
