NU SIGMA NU Nu Sigma Nu fraternity h.id Us beginnings at the University of Miehigan and has the honor of hemg the oldest medieal fr.iternity in the United States. A small group of students, headed by William J. Mayo, was instrumental in the early initial sueeess of the fraternity which has waxed in growth and stature. Today, Nu Sigma Nu is the largest organized medical group of its kind in the world and includes such men as William Osier, C. Loring [oslin, H.irvey Gushing, Otto Folin, Hans Zinsser, and Donald C. Balfour. There are forty-four chapters in the United States and Canada, with an active membership of about 1800 and an alumni group consisting of 2.S,000 doctors scattered throughout the world. The local chapter, Delta of Pittsburgh, was founded February 2, 1891, at the Western University of Pennsylvania, the forerunner of present-day Pitt. It is the oldest medical fraternity of the University and has grown progressively through the years. Delta chapter can count over 800 alumni and eighty-eight active brothers. The fraternity is proud of its one hundred fratres in facultate here in Pittsburgh. Nu Sigma Nu has a varied program of events, including both social and professional .ictivities. Monthly dinner meetings are held, which entail, beside the regular business of the fraternity, after-dinner talks by noted members of the medical profession. The outstanding feature of the school year is the annual Nu Sigma Nu lecture which brings national and international medical men to Pittsburgh. The Nu Sigma Nu Award is granted yearly to the member of the sophomore class who achieves the highest scholastic average during that year. Any sophomore, regardless of fraternity affiliation, is eligible to receive this award. [163]

The chapter was incorporated March 17, 1902, in the Court of Allegheny County. Pennsylvania. The fraternity was founded by a group of thirteen men who handed together in protest to the e.xi.sting medical fr.iternity and medicopolitical .situations. These issues were then held in disrepute by many medical men. Hence, since its inception the chapter has maint.iined its stalwart st.md as regards these factors of abuse and m;iltunction. To this end it has always sought to provide ample opportunities for the discussion of medical problems and controversial matters in an atmosphere of tolerance and one of mutual respect. Thus practitioners, teachers of medicine, and medical students alike .ire urged to meet informally for the purpose of considering the practic.il and pertinent problems in the medical field. Such a status has consistently allowed for fr.inkne. s and trecness ot treatment of the i,ssues at hand. Hence it is with such a basic initial foundation and subsequcnl tostering of these ideals that Alpha Chajiter maintains its prominence here at the University of Pittsburgh School of medicine. The fraternity is fortunate to have as its Faculty Advisor J, ones Hodgkiss, M.D. and is generously supported by the Alumni Association. The present Archon is Richard J, Salina; Vice Archon, James E. McClure; TrcaS ' urer, John E. Marlow; Secretaries, Robert Klemens, M. Rougraff; Editor. Fred S. McAlpine; Historian, John F. Zeedick. [ 164]
