GARTNER Nu Sigma Nu was founded on March 2, l882, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, by William Mayo and five associates. The achievement of study, fellowship and leadership in the field of medicine were its ideals. The l.C.l Society at the University of Buffalo antedated Nu Sigma Nu by many years. The former society, so named for its ideals of industry, concord and integrity, dates back at least to T862 The society maintains an admirable record in that none of the brethren ever failed to pass for graduation. The Beta Gamma or l.C.l Chapter of Nu Sigma Nu was instituted on December 8, l905, with a charter membership of ninety-four. Lectures at the semi-monthly meetings during the course of the year have included those by Dean Kimball, Drs. Humphrey, Sanes, Postolot, Hubbard, Kress, Donovan, Mohn, and others. For the season of '50-'5'I we planned and held a most ambitious calendar. Our Annual Freshman Smoker was held on the night of Saturday, September 25th. This was held to acquaint the new students to each other and to the hallowed halls of Nu Sigma Nu. Then followed the Hallowe'en party, the Christmas dance, the New Year's party, sleigh-ride party and Valentine Dance. Don Dohn and his Social Committee are to be highly com- mended in conducting this important part of fraternity life.

The chairs were supplied by the Blacksmith Shoppe. While no one was looking, Danny lgirls in Buffalo stop yearning, for in Miami Beach l'm interningl Zimmerman, stole one ofthe chairs and won the game. Bernie Smolens has been seen driving around town in a green convertible. He says it's good for that California climate. Al and Jo Ann Goldfarb are still recuperating from that wild cocktail party that they threw before the pledge dance. From the way Milt Robinson was walking, we think that he caught most of the cocktails. Ed and Eileen Penn also had a cocktail party before the Med-Dent Dance. They said the punch only had lemonade in it. Those lemons must have been weaned on Vodka. Dan Clark, after seeing the benefits of bottle feeding at Children's Hospital, has decided to try it Ifour roses that isl.
