PHI DELTA PHI MINOR INN Founded in 1869. Established at the Law School in 1890. Minor Inn of Phi Delta Phi enjoys the distinction of being the oldest legal fraternity at the University. This chapter takes its name from John B. Minor, Professor of Law at the University from 1846 to 1895. Phi Delta Phi selects its membership from substantially the top fifteen per cent of the First Year Class. The Fraternity is a small but active organization and this year’s activities serve to emphasize this fact. In October of every year, Minor Inn makes its traditional entrance into Scott Stadium at the Homecoming football game. This annual function of the Fraternity is termed “Tally-Ho.” Years ago the pledges were required to enter riding mules but today the whole fraternity rides a horse-drawn carriage. After a liberal ‘‘wheel-oiling’’ party, the members don their robes and the driver's cry of ‘“Tally-Ho” starts the carriage’s careening swing around the stadium to the seats reserved for Phi Delta Phi. Rain, un- fortunately, cancelled this year’s appearance. Other fall activities included the fielding of a touch football team. This was Phi Delta Phi’s second year in the league and while the win-loss record was not marked with success, all those participating enjoyed the exercise and especially the halftime refreshment. The highlight of the year for Phi Delta Phi, and a memorable event for the Law School community as a whole, was the 52nd presentation of the Libel Show in April. This famous and traditional burlesque of the Law School faculty is written, produced and directed by Minor Inn. The show was originated back in 1903 and at first was part of the initiation program—solely for the entertainment of the Fraternity members. In later years it was opened to the rest of the Law School and University and except for a brief period during the 20’s when it was banned, the Libel Show has been an annual presentation of Phi Delta Phi. All the proceeds of the Show are presented to the Dean’s Fund. Phi Delta Phi also awards a fifty dollar prize each year to the member of the Law Review whose Decision is adjudged best by a faculty committee. snus i
