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]

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]

PHI DELTA EPSILON Since the founding of the first ch.iptcr at Cornell in 19U4, Phi Delta Epsilon has oniwn to its present 49 active chapters. Such close bonds of interest and friendship are formed during the school years that the fraternity now has thirty Graduate Clubs, making Phi Dee E a lifetime association for its members. The University of Pittsburgh Chapter. Nu. was established in 1912. Annually it presents to Pittsburgh Medicine a national figure in the medical profession who gives a lecture in Mellon Institute. This lectureship was founded in honor of Dr. R. R. Huggins, Dean of Pitt Medical School from 1919 until 1938. Nu holds monthly dinner meetings which are followed by a medical program, such as a local speaker or a movie. The social calendar usually includes four affairs during the school year. In recent years the fraternity has organized a system by which the upper classmen privately help any of the members who are having scholastic difficulties; this promotes better and a closer relationship among the fraters. Over half of the 1953 graduates are members of Alpha Omega Alpha. The Graduate Club ,it Pitt is very active, presenting two social affairs, brunches, rush stags, and a graduation banquet every year for the undergraduates. 1952-33 officers: Marshall Levy, President; Paul Rogal, Vice President; Irving Golding, Secretary; Arthur Pasach, Treasurer; Jerry Aarons, Social Chairman; Dr. Philip Rosenthal, President of the Graduate Club and Chapter Coordinator; Dr. Leo Criep, Faculty Advisor and Graduate Club Chairman for the Annu:d Huggins Memorial Lecture.
