9ki fDelta 9hi- dv The legal fraternity of Phi Delta Phi owes its being largely to the efforts of judge Cooley of Michigan. The fraternity had its inception at Ann Arbor in 1869. Since then it has grown, until at present it has a strong chapter in every law school of note in the United States. Its members have occupied the most prominent places both at the bar and on the bench, and the number of them in the public eye is legion. lt is significant that of the nine judges of the United States Supreme Court six are members of the Phi Delta Phi. The Lincoln chapter was given its charter in 1895. lt has a total enrolment of 144, of whom 23 are active at present. The members of the local chapter have been uniformly of high scholarship and have been selected from year to year because of the character of their work as well as because of Congeniality. Lincoln chapter is in a very prosperous condition this year, having estab- lished itself in pleasant rooms in the Montgomery block, where it has acquired, through the kindness of faculty and alumni members. quite a legal library. A movement is now on foot to have a house hereafter where the members may live and be mutually helpful and congenial in their legal studies. All of the law faculty are members of Phi Delta Phi and have been very willing to help the fraternity in its aims and purposes. S3
