PHI DELTA PHI The legal fraternity of Phi Delta Phi was Iounded at the law department of the University of Michigan in 1869, by John M. Howard, of the class of 271. Chapters are established only in law Schools of high standing. There are thirty-three active chapters at present. It is the policy of the fraternity not to antagonize exist- ing societies in a school into which it enters, but to draw members from such societies and fraternities as well as from other members of the law-student body. Its ,alumni have occupied the most eminent places in public estimation. President Roosevelt and Six of the Supreme Justices are included among its numbers. The Lincoln chapter was granted its charter in 1895. It has 28 active members and I4I alumni. The members of the local chap- ter have been selected because Of high grade work as well as be- cause of Congeniality. It is noteworthy that Theta Kappa Nu hono1's were awarded in 1905 to four members of Phi Delta Phi, and in 1906 the four highest in rank to members of this fraternity.

It would be interesting to know the circumstances that were in- fluential in bringing them to the University of Nebraska to study law. Those who were holding good positions in other lines of work found it hard, no doubt, to settle down and spend both time and hard-earned cash in obtaining a legal education. Some had no expectation of following the law as a profession, and desired a legal education merely as a foundation for a business career. Most of us had felt a sort of a thrill pass over us whenever we were in the presence of a court, or when we heard points of law or the pro- fession of law discussed: and it was this, no doubt, that influenced most of us to take up the study in earnest. The Law School of the University of Nebraska olfered our class an opportunity to organize, and as an inducement promised that if we would finish its three-year course satisfactorily we should be entitled to a sheepskin of great value, to-wit: that the lawful possessor could by virtue thereof practice law in the courts of the state of Nebraska. A reconstruction period was at hand in the law department when we entered it, and we found Dean Pound at the table of information. Our future looked bright enough when we- started from home, but after parting with a registration fee, and wandering around among strangers a day or two, the thought came to many that pos- sibly, after all, we had made a mistake in our plans, and we would E4
