Hundreds Return for Alpha Delta Reunion
O
n a spectacularly beautiful
Saturday in mid-September,
the Bulldog faithful traveled
to UGA’s Sanford Stadium
for an evening matchup Between the
Hedges with the USC Gamecocks. No
more need be said about the game, as
the clear highlight of the day was the
Reunion at the Lodge on South Milledge, a few blocks from the stadium.
Charlie Callahan, ΑΔ’77, (second
row at left) was organizer of the event,
re-creating a ’70s game-day party from
Lumpkin Street days. Alumni Board
President Doug “Yogi” Patterson ’78
was MC, Parents’ Club President Teri
Butler spoke about the undergrads,
and D.E. Whitfield ’71 spoke about
the capital campaign for the Lodge.
Charlie’s theme for the event was
“Rock like the old men did in the
’70’s,” and while the Dirk Howell
Band captured just the right sound,
there was a lot more reminiscing and
catching-up than rocking. The general
mood was “let’s do this again soon.”

anging out and eating
hamburgers with the family
in Kennebunkport may be
all very well for some heads
of state, but other world leaders prefer to go fishing in Siberia.
Taking a break from the pressures of running countries and principalities, Russian President Vladimir
Putin and Prince Albert of Monaco,
Chi ’81, abandoned formal suits and
restricting ties of high office in favor
of some camouflage chic to go fishing in Siberia in August.
The wilderness adventure is one
of a variety of adventurous pursuits
laid out for the Monégasque royal
while he went on holiday with the
Russian premier. The trip, which
included white-water rafting, was seen
as a thank-you for the 49-year-old
royal’s support of Russia’s bid to host
the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. The
nature-lovers traveled to Kyzyl, located about 2,900 miles southeast of
Moscow.
Albert also visited Putin at
Peterhof, an 18th-century czarist summer estate on the shore of the Gulf
of Finland, near Putin’s hometown of
St. Petersburg. There Putin thanked
Albert -- who represents Monaco on
the International Olympic Committee – for backing Russia’s successful
bid to host the 2014 Winter Olympics
in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.

joined the former KGB officer for a
dinner under the stars by the roaring
glow of an open camp fire.
Never a slouch in the outdoors
stakes himself, Prince Albert is an avid
polar explorer and made a dogsled
trip to the North Pole last year. In
school, he was an enthusiastic athlete,
participating in cross country, javelin,
handball, swimming, tennis, rowing,
sailing, skiing, squash, judo, and
fencing. He competed in the bobsled
at the 1988, ’92, ’94, ’98, and 2002
Winter Olympics. He has been a
member of the International Olympic
Committee since 1985. (His maternal
grandfather and maternal uncle were
both Olympic medal winners in rowing and were involved in the Olympic
movement.)
In 1977, Prince Albert enrolled at
Amherst College as Albert Grimaldi,
studying political science, economics,
music, and English literature. He
joined Chi Psi and lived in the old
Lodge before he graduated in 1981
with a bachelor of arts degree in
political science.
On 6 April 2005, upon the death
of his father, Prince Rainier III, Hereditary Prince Albert became Albert II,
Sovereign Prince of Monaco.

Fall 2007 The Purple and Gold 5
Fifty Years as The Beaver -- Jerry Mathers, ΔΔ’73:
Central Character of TV’s Longest-Running Show
T
he fourth of October 1957 is remembered for two
events that changed world history – the launching
of Sputnik by the Soviet Union and the launching
of Leave It to Beaver by the Columbia Broadcasting
System (CBS).
Although the successful launch of Sputnik 1 did
launch the “Space Race,” Sputnik is just a memory today.
But Leave It to Beaver is still going strong as the longestrunning scripted show in television. It ran a year on CBS,
five more years on ABC, and then immediately to re-runs
(currently on TV Land). It’s been heard in almost fifty
languages and has been seen in at least 108 countries
around the globe.
The titular star of the show, of course, is Gerald P.
“Jerry” Mathers, Delta Delta ’73. He was seven years old
when the program began, but already an established actor,
having played Shirley MacLaine’s son in Hitchcock’s The
Trouble with Harry, Dan Duryea’s son in This is My Love, and
Bob Hope’s son in The Seven Little Foys.
When the initial run of Leave It to Beaver ended, Jerry
dropped out of show business and went on to high school,
where he tried to fit in as a normal kid, playing sports, dating girls. He suffered from dyslexia in his early life. After
graduating from Notre Dame High School in Sherman
Oaks, California, in 1967, he attended Berkeley where he
joined Chi Psi and earned a BA degree in philosophy.
In his first year in the Lodge he played football, but he
tended to get picked on by the opposing teams. There
were bloody noses, but he was a tough center/nose guard.
Jerry was in the National Guard, and when Los Angeles
had an earthquake in 1971, Jerry was called up and had to
return to LA for a year. He returned to Cal in the fall of
1972 and lived in the Lodge.
Larry Batina, ΔΔ’74, remembered how Jerry and two
roommates “kept all their beer cans and created a huge
triangular pile – very impressive!! As much as possible, he
was a ‘regular’ student and one of the guys, although he

In the Chi Psi Eye
Above, Tony Dow and Jerry Mathers make a presentation on the 2007 TV-Land Awards show.
Leave It to Beaver is built around young Theodore Cleaver (Jerry Mathers). We’re told that
when he was a baby, his older brother, Wally (Tony Dow), mispronounced “Theodore” as
“Tweedor.” Those firm-but-loving parents, Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and June Cleaver
(Barbara Billingsley), for some reason felt that “Beaver” sounded better.
was great with the sororities for obvious reasons!”
Mathers became the subject of an urban legend
when it was falsely reported that he died in Vietnam. In
reality, he tried to enlist in the Marines, but was rejected
because of his celebrity: Officers feared the inevitable
negative repercussions if such an icon of innocence was
killed in the war. Instead, Jerry served stateside in the Air
National Guard, where he survived safely. In 1969, incorrect reports of his death were put out by Associated Press
and United Press International when a similarly-named
soldier was killed. The rumor was so widespread and
believable that Tony Dow, sitcom brother Wally, sent
flowers to the Mathers family upon hearing the news.
After college he worked for a while as a bank loan
officer, leaving hundreds of people with the odd experience of having their loan applications rejected or
accepted by the Beaver.
In the late 1970s, Mathers and Beaver brother Tony
Dow started touring together in dinner plays. In 1983,
the cast of Leave It to Beaver, sans the late Hugh
Beaumont, made a TV movie called Still the Beaver, which
was followed by several years of The New Leave It to Beaver.
In recent years, he has starred in Playing Patti (1998)
and Better Luck Tomorrow (2002). He has also been in
Back to the Beach (1987), It's Howdy Doody Time (1987),
Down the Drain (1990), Sexual Malice (1994), Playing Patti
(1998), Better Luck Tomorrow (2002), Angels with Angles
(2005), Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006), Will to
Power (2006), and The Von Trapp Family Christmas (with a
release date of December 2007).
Diagnosed with diabetes in 1996, he took preventative action, lost 45 pounds and became one of the leading lecturers on living and dealing with diabetes. He has
partnered with diverse groups to bring awareness of the
epidemic to the public, and he is currently the national
spokesperson for a blood glucose monitoring system.
His commercial work includes spots for advertisers
In the Chi Psi Eye
such as Pet Condensed Milk, General Electric, Purina,
Kern, Chevrolet, Toyota, General Mills, AOL, Coca Cola,
Jim Beam Biogen, and Kellogg’s (he and Tony Dow were
the first non-athletes on a box of corn flakes). He’s a
highly requested speaker at national conventions, where
he addresses the emotional state of the American family
and the effects of television on society, using the fabled
Cleavers from his early television career. He has had
recurring spots on The Tonight Show with host Jay Leno.
In his first venture on Broadway, Mathers joined the
musical cast of Hairspray for a three-month run this
summer, playing the part of Wilbur Turnblad. Mathers
is the second cast member of the original Leave It to
Beaver show to appear on Broadway. In 1936, Barbara
Billingsley appeared in the Broadway play Straw Hat,
which closed after only five shows.
In 1962, near the end of the run of the original
show, he recorded two songs for a single 45 rpm: “Don't
’Cha Cry,” a retread of Spanish Harlem; and for the flip
side, the twist ditty, “Wind-Up Toy” (“Wind-up Toy!
Wind-up Toy! Say, when you gonna treat me like a real
live boy.”) During his high school years, Mathers had a
band called “Beaver and the Trappers.” They recorded
for Atlantic Records, including one called Happiness is
Havin’, which was the number one single in Hawaii and
Alaska for a while. The song was co-written by Mathers
and Richard Correll (Richard Rickover in the sitcom).
Mathers's band recorded for about three-and-a-half years
and played sock-hops and parties in southern California.
Brother Mathers noted that the phenomenon of
Leave It to Beaver is worldwide. “I can go anywhere in the
world, and people know me,” he said. “In Japan the
show’s called ‘The Happy Boy and His Family.’ So I’ll be
walking through the airport in Japan, and people will
come up and say, ‘Hi, Happy Boy!’”
Jerry Mathers is the father of three children, Noah
(1978), Mercedes (1982), and Gretchen (1985). ■
Fall 2007 The Purple and Gold 7
Travis Starkey, Sigma ’07, former #1 at UNC, began working in June with Teach For America in the Mississippi Delta, a commitment which spans from June 2007 to June 2009. Travis writes: “On the surface, my job appears to be very basic. I wake up early
every morning to teach 23 second-graders how to read, write, add, subtract, and work hard. When you consider, though, how the
past six months have taken me from being a lazily-dressed college student living in the Sigma Lodge in comfortable Chapel Hill to
being a tie-wearing teacher who spends his entire day with 8-year-olds in Clarksdale, MS, I think you might understand how I felt
that my daily life suddenly became worthy of sharing with other people. In other words, I feel like I have worthwhile material to share;
and my hope is that anyone who happens upon the Dispatches finds them intriguing, informative, and maybe even an inspiration to
pay more attention to the achievement gap millions of our children face across this country. I will never call it an easy job, but I do
know that I’m in the right place for now, so I hope you enjoy this glimpse into my daily life.”
INITIAL IMPRESSIONS
(Posted 15 July 2007)
nderstand that when I say this, I reserve any and
all rights to take it back (although I doubt I’ll
need them); but the Delta has legitimately blown
my expectations to pieces. As I told Stewart last
night, I will either have to cut this experience off at two
years or understand that I will be here for the next ten.
I honestly don’t know where to begin. “Rich culture”
does not even begin to describe the nature of this place.
Numerous times on our four-hour tour, I looked at other
CMs on the bus, who, in turn, nodded back at me, in
shock, as the following was revealed to us: “In a great
flood in 1927, the entire Delta was placed under water
when levees couldn’t withstand the force of the
Mississippi. If you’ve ever heard the song “When the
Levee Breaks,” perhaps by Led Zeppelin – yeah, that’s
what that’s about.
• Robert Johnson, a renowned early blues musician,
sold his soul to the devil in exchange for incredible musical ability in the 1920s (or so the story goes).
• A place called Po’ Monkeys, where a man who lives
in a room no larger than a double bed performs blues
and other music and wears outrageous purple, white,
and silver suits on Thursday nights, can be found in the
middle of a cotton field near Cleveland.
• SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) worked during their Freedom Summer in the Delta.
• Prompted by SNCC, Fannie Lou Hamer attempted
to register to vote, was fired from her sharecropping job
for doing so, and became a leading activist in the efforts
to not only increase black political participation, but also
deconstruct the widely-held notion that blacks were not
voting because they more or less didn’t feel like it.
• US Hwy 61, which runs the length of the Delta, is
the same Hwy 61 referenced by Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61
U
8 The Purple and Gold Fall 2007
Revisited.” (And yes, for those of you Dylan fans out
there, I understand it passes by his childhood home in
Minnesota; but he spent time in the Delta, as well.)
• In 1860, the Delta was uninhabitable swampland.
• Mound Bayou, Miss., was founded as the first
incorporated township founded by ex-slaves, and later it
became the hub of black power in the mid-20th century.
One Harvard medical professor who was taking a tour of
the Delta with our guide told him that, when he acted
up, his mother told him “You were born in Mound
Bayou,” but never explained it to him. He also had
grown up in Memphis. What this means is not only was
the town well-respected in the black community (to the
point that it could be used as an admonition), but also
that his mother had traveled over 100 miles to make sure
he was born in Mound Bayou so she could say that to
him.
I say all of this only to demonstrate how deep the
cultural roots are here – be they musical, social, political,
or otherwise. I come away from my first day in the Delta
truly impressed (it also probably didn’t hurt that we
talked about each of these events/ideas/etc. while we
were in the actual spot where the thing happened,
exist(ed), etc. I also come away with a greater understanding of why I felt such a strange pull towards this
place in the fall – a pull I still can’t quite understand or
identify as more than that and perhaps never will.
Everything is simultaneously new and familiar to me,
which makes much of this a surreal experience as I am
introduced to this truly soulful location. In other words,
I do feel as though I’m in the right place and am
thrilled to have that feeling, as difficulties I’m certain to
experience in the future will be much easier to face if I
am happy and at peace with my placement.
On the more official TFA side, I have continued to
meet more Corps Members that I did not meet during
In the Chi Psi Eye
my time at Institute, as I lived with Dane on the New
Mexico floor; and I am only more excited about the
great personalities that have come down a variety of
paths to this place. I say this understanding fully what
kind of reactions it might elicit from friends and family
in bigger cities doing more “exciting” things, but what a
privilege it is to be here.
TOMORROW
(7 August 2007)
just realized that tomorrow I officially become Mr.
Starkey. At 9 AM tomorrow, 28 wide-eyed 7-year-olds
are going to look at me, a white male in a school of
black female teachers, and wonder “What is he doing
here?” and “What is he going to do next?” and “What
can I get away with?”
I’m going to look at them and say, “Good morning,
everyone! I’m Mr. Starkey, and you are my Star Students.
I’m so excited to be here with you at Myrtle Hall
Elementary this morning. Ms. Jones and I have been
waiting all summer to meet you, so it is great to see all of
your smiling faces. This year we are going to learn SO
much, more than you’ve ever learned before, so I hope
you’re excited to be here, too…”
This is why I moved across the country. Back to the
Deep South. Transplanting my life from comfortable
Chapel Hill to the Heart of the Delta. To teach these
children how to read, write, add, subtract, and hope.
Wish you were here.

POTATO SALAD
(9 August 2007)
story from my second day of school:
Yesterday, one subject I discussed with my students was the importance of healthy eating
habits, especially as they pertain to keeping your
brain working well. This meant that, at lunch, I was insistent that they eat all of the food they could, as the
Clarksdale Municipal School District has mandated
healthier meals in cafeterias. Many children struggled
with the baked beans (considered “health food” in the
Delta); but, by the end, only 2 of 18 hadn’t finished
them.
Today, I decided that I would press my point further
by eating the lunch myself to demonstrate that any cafeteria lunch can and should be eaten. This was a gross
miscalculation on my part. Today’s lunch consisted of a
sandwich with meat that could only be described as
something between ham and corned beef, banana pudding, and what I think was potato salad.
This potato salad was not like other potato salads. It
had the consistency of scooped cole slaw and (I think)
crunchy pieces of onion and parts of boiled egg. I was
also given twice as much as the students were. Needless
to say, there was no chance, after our first lunch experience, that I could not eat this massive scoop of mystery
salad. So I did it.
I ate half of it and stood up to check my students’
progress on the same dish. Not good. I encouraged
them by saying that, if I could eat it, they could eat it.
This was good enough for some, but not for all. So I
decided I would get a big spoonful of it, bring it towards
the middle of where they were seated, and eat it right
there in front of them, which I did to the sounds of several “ewww”s and a couple “I don’t want to eat that”s. I
then walked back to my spot at the table and finished off
the delicacy.
All this to say, don’t write a check your body shouldn’t cash, especially around 8-year-olds. I suppose it was
all too fitting that after lunch I read to them the Shel
Silverstein poem “Sarah Sylvia Cynthia Stout Would Not
A
Take the Garbage Out,” prompting more grossed-out
noises from them.
This is my life. I hang out with 8-year-olds all day,
and sometimes we learn something substantive. Most
of the time, though, I just pretend like I know what I’m
doing and throw in something unexpected every once
in a while.
A BAD-HAIR DAY AND
A SHOCKING REALIZATION
(21 August 2007)
iven that I was tempted to write a post yesterday
entitled “Travis and the Terrible, No Good, Very
Bad Day,” I’m pleased to share some humor that
transpired in my classroom today.
Yesterday was picture day at Myrtle Hall, so most of
the kids were dressed up — this includes fancy hairstyling. One girl’s mother went a little overboard with
the weave, in what I believe was a little much for an 8year-old. In any event, she had an arched bulge of hair
that began its climb an inch to an inch and a half from
her hairline and rose to a height of an inch or so, and
was followed by an ornate arrangement further back that
simply defies verbal description.
As fate would have it, this child, whom my conscience
will not allow me to name, came to school with the same
hair styling today. I wondered to myself how something
that fragile-looking could last. This explains my lack of
surprise when, while other students were working in
their reading workbook, she began fiddling with the
front of her rapidly-deteriorating hair-do, a concerned
look falling across her face. Within minutes she had an
8-10-inch shot of hair coming out at about a 45-degree
angle from her hairline, prompting my assistant to tell
her that she looked like a black Elvis.
Silly me, thinking that this was the end, I turned
away to tend to other students. But as it turns out, the
arch had been the product of stuffing an artificial bump
running the span of her head from temple to temple in
a vertical arch. I glanced back just in time to see her
pulling the weave from where the arch had just been, to
G
a cacophony of grossed-out noises from other, now distracted, students. I promptly took the weave from her,
placed it in a jar that I had intended to use as an incentive tool (1 bean for each child with perfect behavior)
until I realized they would graduate high school before
we filled it, turned around, saw her pulling out the last
strands, placed them in the same jar, shut the jar, and
announced “This is a classroom — not a barbershop.”
Later, during a lesson on statement and question
sentences, my students were working independently to
create their own sentences of each type. Granted, at
such a young age, intention of the speaker or author is
often lost on them, so I anticipated seeing a fair share of
mistakes, a prediction which held true.
While observing them, I read so many sentences that
I began to see their work as more the products of inner
monologue than anything, which explains why I laughed
so hard I had to leave the class when, after seeing a
number of “I like to play football”s and “I like to play
with friends”s, I came across one that said “My mom is
a lady?”
IMAGINARY FRIENDS,
THE BIRD, AND RAZOR BLADES
(18 September 2007)
irst of all, I have to mention that I finally feel like I
have control of my classroom. I’ve begun to move
away from doling out consequences via my card
chart, instead focusing on my classroom incentives. For those of you interested in those kinds of
things, mine are basically “Caught Being Good” points
that can be used to buy pencils, erasers, and super sweet
notebooks. I’m finding that, when I recognize good behavior (sometimes by even stopping a lecture to reward
the children who are paying attention), I raise the bar
for everyone else. This runs opposite singling out negative behavior, which I believe lowers the bar in that the
only student actions that get attention are negative ones.
All of this was so effective today that I was able to say “I
love the way…” and “I’m looking to see who’s paying
attention,” and every single child was doing what I asked.
Not only do I consider this ridiculous, I’m also anticipating some type of karma-related boomerang effect.
I’ll keep you posted on how that unfolds during my 60%
day tomorrow.
But now for the three truly notable occurrences of
the day:
1. Today, we learned about how to write a friendly
letter, with a heading, greeting, body – the works. After
reading through a model yesterday, we gave it a shot on
our own today. As I printed off the blank templates for
them last night, I knew I was in for a surprise. Cashane,
who is becoming a repeat performer in the comedy
that is my life, delivered. As I walked around the class,
making sure each child was on task, I passed by his desk,
and he told me the following: “Mr. Starkey, I have an
imaginary friend. His name is Cash. He’s inside my
F
In the Chi Psi Eye
body.” If that wasn’t enough, before they read silently at
the end of the day, I stressed to them how they needed
to learn how to read inside their head, like they had a
voice talking to them inside their head. Turning to
Cashane, I said, “You can pretend Cash is talking to you.
He’s in your brain, right?” His eyes widened and his
mouth dropped as he realized that he just might actually
have another person somehow living in his brain.
2. As I read aloud today, I read to them an excerpt
from “Days With Frog & Toad,” which I highly recommend if you’re looking for some light, second-grade
reading during your leisure time. Wanting them to follow along as I read each word, I came up with the disappointingly impromptu concept of “Reading Fingers.”
After explaining how to use Reading Fingers — a new
concept to all of us, I asked everyone to hold theirs up.
A few moments later, I was surprised to note that two of
my students were looking confusedly at their extended
middle fingers, bookended by their less-extended fingers. One of the boys, Terrence, held his up to me and
said innocently, “This is my reading finger, Mr. Starkey.”
and began to model how he was going to follow along.
Rapidly losing it, I looked to Mrs. Jones, shoulders
shrugged and palms opened, and she took charge, “Put
those fingers down and use your index finger!” she said.
3. For the third time, I went to a real deal barber in
town today. “Real deal” in my book is:
A. A barber with the swirling pole outside his door;
B. An old guy who tells random stories;
C. Someone who doesn’t ask you what kind of haircut you want, you just get whatever he gives;
D. Someone who uses a straight razor without notice.
Having already been twice with no close encounters
with open blades (or requests for hairstyle or length, for
that matter), I wasn’t expecting D, but I got the Works
today. Marty and I talked about teaching, running, and
Clarksdale as he cut away, only to end the visit with some
surprise warm shaving cream and an open razor that
came a little too close for comfort.

to Stay in Touch! … Are You Connected Yet?
C
hi Psi was the first fraternity with a Web
site, and this spring that site has become
an on-line community for the whole
Chi Psi family. It’s a place where you can
network with other Brothers, stay up-to-date
with Chi Psi news, learn about upcoming events,
visit your Alpha’s private community, post
personal news and photos, post a resume, make
a donation, maintain your personal profile
page, and much more! Join now and enjoy the
benefits of staying connected, all at no charge.
The site is only available to registered Chi Psis,
so you will be able to interact without the worry
of your information ever being viewed or shared
by non-members. To join, just visit the same old
address we’ve always had for a brand-new
experience – stay connected at:

Chi Psi Fraternity & Educational Trust
Annual Report
1 July 2006 – 30 June 2007
To Preserve and To Build Fraternity
T
his past year was a good, productive year for
Chi Psi, with the most visible sign being the
dedication of Jeffrey Hall, our new headquarters building. The loyalty and generosity of
Brothers Jeffrey, Ray, Ahlberg, Preble, and all the others
listed on the next pages, helped transform a decade-long
dream into a reality. It is a terrific facility from which to
preserve the legacy and build the future of Chi Psi.
Regional Conferences were reinstituted for the first
time in many years. We had excellent turnouts and programs in Chapel Hill, Madison, New Brunswick, and
Atlanta. These conferences will build on their initial
successes and expand to five this new school year.
We will have two Visitors on the road this year attending to the needs of our Alphas and working with our new
colony at Union. We have been working closely with a
great group of Union alumni to help ensure a proper
return to Chi Psi’s founding college.
Following the success of the alcohol education program facilitated last year by Cal Hackstaff, ΨΔ’06, we
have begun implementing the next generation program,
E.R.A. (Education. Responsibility. Action.), with a new
cadre of volunteer facilitators.
Our new Web community seems to be working very
well, as new Brothers keep joining every day. If you
haven’t joined yet, please visit the site and check it out.
It’s free, private to Chi Psis, and without obligation.
Through the Web community, you can network with your
Brothers, keep up with what’s going on in all areas of the
Fraternity, download Chi Psi songs, and much more.
Actives also use it to download forms, file reports, etc.
The Fraternity and the Educational Trust continue
to operate in the black, keeping costs to a minimum, but
we must increase the level of support we receive from
alumni if we are to maintain and increase necessarily
our services to undergraduates and alumni. Operating a
fraternity in the ever-changing college world continues to
offer new challenges on a daily basis. We are ever grateful
for your continuing loyalty to Chi Psi. May we count on
your support again this year?
Yours in Chi Psi,
Sam Bessey, ΗΔ’97

The Jeffrey Hall Campaign:
Creating Our Legacy
F
or nearly 100 years, the Chi Psi Central Office
has provided the link that binds us together in
one unbroken chain. Through wars, civil unrest,
economic expansion, coeducation, and unprecedented growth in colleges and universities, the Central
Office has given our Fraternity the stability to confront
any challenge.
For the last decade, the leadership of Chi Psi has
endeavored to stabilize the financial health of the organization. Through great individual and collective sacrifice,
Chi Psi has regained stability and can again look to its
future programming and service needs. Our new Central
Office at Jeffrey Hall provides an opportunity for Chi Psi
alumni to give in support of our Fraternity’s mission and
to receive unique recognition in their new home.
Last fall, Chi Psi launched the Jeffrey Hall Campaign
for The Chi Psi Educational Trust. So far, alumni have
committed over $644,000 towards the $800,000 goal.
Thanks to the generosity of 86 alumni, including four
major gifts by living #7s (below), the campaign is ahead
of schedule and could very well exceed its goal! Below
and at right are those who made a commitment to the
Jeffrey Hall Campaign through early fall.
This summer marked the transition of the campaign
from the silent-appeal phase to the public solicitation
effort. Members of Chi Psi’s National Leadership are
currently leading a letter-writing campaign to solicit former staff members and national board volunteers.
Unique recognition opportunities have been created in
Jeffrey Hall, and it is our sincere hope that all Chi Psi
Family members will invest in their new Nashville home.
There are several naming opportunities remaining
in Jeffrey Hall. From the fireplace in the Executive
Director’s Office to the Alpha Visitor’s Bullpen, unique
recognition opportunities remain. Efforts are under way
to honor the memory of Brothers who have died and/or
have made significant contributions to Chi Psi.
To learn more about the Jeffrey Hall Campaign or
how you might make a gift, call the Central Office at
615-736-2520. Help us build for the future by securing
the present. Contribute to the Jeffrey Hall Campaign
and secure your legacy in our new home!

Fred W. Phister, E’51, Memorial Drive –
Former Council Chair Fred Phister played a
very central role in Chi Psi for more than
twenty-five years, and he was known to thousands of Chi Psis through their encounters at
Convention and his frequent Alpha visits. In
honor of his many contributions to Chi Psi, a
mini campaign, chaired by Michael C. Hurst
ΤΔ'87, is underway. Brothers from several
Alphas have teamed up to raise money in
honor of Brother Phister, and $10,000 has
been pledged so far toward a recognition
opportunity in Jeffrey Hall.
Members of the planning committee
hope that those who felt the effects of
Brother Phister’s example will join in contributing to this effort. Consider helping
with the goal of naming a room in the new
Jeffrey Hall in memory of Brother Phister
and his impact on the undergraduate experience. The planning committee is recruiting Brothers to assist in coordination of this
effort. If you would like to participate in the
management of this effort, please contact
Sam Bessey or Donald Beeson at the Central
Office.

CLIFFORD WILLIAMS SCHOLARS
THE CHI PSI EDUCATIONAL TRUST
lifford H. Williams, Theta ’02, was the eleventh President of Chi Psi (1949-52)
and chaired The Chi Psi Educational Trust for 35 years. His leadership and
vision propelled Chi Psi to the forefront among fraternities in its educational
offerings. Upon his death, the Educational Trust undergraduate scholarship was
renamed in his memory, but it was never endowed. Since 1966, the scholarship has
been awarded to more than 240 Brothers, but the funding has always been provided
from the general funds of the Educational Trust.
In honor of the 80th Anniversary of the Trust, we have embarked on a campaign
to endow the Clifford Williams Scholarship. We are approaching all former Trust
scholarship and fellowship recipients to “give back” their scholarship to assist with
creating this endowment. We are also approaching other Brothers who have been
actively involved with the Educational Trust. If you would consider participating in
the endeavor, please email the Central Office at [email protected] or call at 615-736-2520.

Chi Psi Fraternity & Educational Trust
Music City Entertains 166th Convention
C
hi Psis from around the country gathered
this summer at Vanderbilt University in
Nashville for the 166th Annual Convention
of Chi Psi Fraternity from 2–5 August 2007.
This was Chi Psi’s third Tennessee Convention
(others at Sewanee and Memphis) but first in
Nashville, although probably not its last, with the
Central Office now a Nashville fixture.
Registration was held at the Central Office to
give many delegates a first look at Chi Psi’s new
headquarters facility. The Preble Board Room and
Ray Family Alumni Room served as excellent meeting spaces for the Executive Council’s Thursday
meetings. The Spencer Institute leadership sessions
for both undergrads and alumni began on Thursday
evening, followed by a Chi Psi Trivia Tourney in the
Overlook Oak room of the Student Union.
Spencer sessions on Friday were held in
Vanderbilt classrooms, not too far from the dorms
that housed the actives. Speakers included Phil
Gillingham, ΘΔ’00, at the #1 sessions, Ben Silliman,
Γ’86, and Mike Barina, I’05, with the #4s, and Visitor
Nick Gilly, ΔΔ’07, and Northwestern Greek Advisor
Dominic Greene with Recruitment Chairs. Friday
night’s Trust Dinner and Saturday’s official business
sessions were held where most alumni stayed – at the
Vanderbilt Marriott. The Convention’s Memorial
Service, honoring those Brothers who died over
the last year, was held at the Vanderbilt Schulman
Center, with John Austell, B’61, officiating at the
service.
The Chi Psi Educational Trust sponsored a
dinner on Friday night, with Ryan Ahlberg, E’03,

Julian Emerson, B’80, presented the Edwin W. Lee Award
posthumously to Linda Ahlberg, wife of #7 Dr. Dan
Ahlberg, N’67, and mother to Ryan, E’03, N’06, and
Brady, I’05, for many years of loyal and dedicated service
to Chi Psi. #23 Sam Bessey presented the F. Van S. Parr
Award to Ann Schenck, widow of former Trust Chair Pete
Schenck, E’59, for her continued support and involvement
in Chi Psi. Brother Emerson extended scholarship and
fellowship checks to the many recipients in attendance.
Harold G. Arnwine II, ΤΔ’86, ΝΔ’02, did a superb job
as #6 (Convention Chair) through the official business
sessions on Saturday. A. J. Spring, ΥΔ’09, succeeded retiring Undergrad Rep Drew Eschweiler, I’06. A small number
of business items and many positive board and Alpha
reports reflected a generally positive year for
Chi Psi across the country.
At the Final Banquet, former Council Chair Michael
Hurst, ΤΔ’87, and former Trustee Hank Bignell, Ρ’77,
were honored with Distinguished Service Awards, and
Alpha Rho refounder and former #1 Mike Wallace, Ρ’07,
was presented the Birge Award as the top undergraduate.
UNC’s Alpha Sigma received the Goodbody Award
for the strongest scholarship record, Oregon’s Alpha Eta
Delta was the recipient of the Founders Trophy for the
most improved, and Rutgers’s Rho won the
Thayer Trophy for best all-around Alpha, just
three years after its refounding at Rutgers.
The Banquet ended on a high note with Dr.
Dan’s enthusiastic sine die and closing gavel and a
hearty Convention rendition of Chi Psis Ever. ■
From top: Oregon’s Eta Delta took the Founders Trophy for most
improvement (with Oregon Duck on top), UNC’s Sigma claimed
the Goodbody Award for best scholarship and use of educational
programs, and Rutger’s Rho won the Thayer Trophy for best overall performance. At left: Purple and Gold was the theme of the
Banquet – from tables and chairs to the lighted columns around
Nashville’s War Memorial Auditorium. Below: After the Banquet,

Distinguished Service Awards to Hurst, Bignell
M
CALDWELL HURST, ALPHA TAU DELTA ’87,
has given a lifetime of service and commitment
in just the two decades since his graduation. He
has served as alumni corporation president for Alpha
Tau Delta, where he still knows all Brothers by full names
and has the authoritative database on all actives and
alumni. Whether chairing meetings, overseeing banquets,
or socializing with Brothers, he always has a smile on his
face, a ready ear to bend, and a hand extended to all. He
served Alpha Nu Delta in the same corporation role in its
final years, personally joining the distant struggle to keep
a viable entity at State College.
Our Founders knew that petty jealousies and misunderstandings could assail frail human relationships at any
level, but Brother Hurst managed to weave a silver cord
of friendship around boards and Brothers to achieve a
stronger cherished bond of union and richer era of good
feelings than few thought possible. He served on the
Executive Council for seven years, chairing the board for
five. During that time he oversaw the founding of Alphas
Pi Delta and Omega Delta and the beginnings of Rho
Delta. He refocused the Council’s energies, streamlining
meetings, eliminating debt, and instituting sound fiscal
policy. He oversaw the relocation of the Central Office
from Olympia Fields to Nashville, even expertly chairing the decorating committee after retiring from the
Council.
While managing serious matters with all appropriate respect and dignity, Brother Hurst also reminds us
that Fraternity is fun. At the end of the day, we engage
in those weighty tasks and pursue those ends because
we find meaning, fulfillment and enjoyment in what
we do. That in forsaking the throng, the retirement
we seek is enjoying our Brothers’ company. Michael’s
jovial spirit leads us through times of joy, while his
strength and loyalty guide us through times of distress.
His embodiment of the Chi Psi spirit is manifested by
the generous gift of his own personality, offered to all
who wear our Badge. We are greatful to his wife and
daughter for sharing him with us.

H
ENRY DENNIS BIGNELL, ALPHA RHO ’77, has been a
mentor and leader at Alpha Rho since the day he
graduated, serving as Alumni Association President
for four years, Trustee of the Alumni Association for over
twenty-five years, and now as Treasurer of the Alpha Rho
Memorial Foundation for the past two years. When his
beloved Alpha closed for five years, he contributed tirelessly
to its re-colonization and re-chartering. He has been at the
forefront of the process to return Alpha Rho to the Banks of
the Old Raritan. He served twice as fund raising chair, first for
Rho’s Centennial in 1979 and then again in 1989 when Alpha
Rho hosted the 148th Annual Convention.
On the national level he served as a Trustee of The
Chi Psi Educational Trust in the 1990s, helping to create and
perfect the educational programs that the Trust continues to
sponsor. He regularly attends Chi Psi Conventions and has
made it a priority to involve his entire family in the Chi Psi
experience. That effort is paying off, as Brother Bignell
participated in the initiation of his eldest son, Hank Jr., at
Alpha Pi Delta this past spring. For more than thirty years,
Hank Bignell has offered dedicated service to the Fraternity,
has exemplified pride in being a Chi Psi, and has delighted
in sharing the Chi Psi experience with family and friends.

Stanley Birge Award to Rutgers’ Mike Wallace
T
he Stanley J. Birge Award, created
in 1971, honors Brother Stan Birge,
Χ’08, Ι’14, as “an exemplar of an
enlightened alumnus, an influence for
good in character and scholarship, and a
faithful visitor to his own and all Alphas.”
This award is for exceptional loyalty and
leadership in Fraternity affairs and for
strengthening the brotherhood of
Fraternity and humankind.
Michael Lyn Wallace, Alpha Rho ’07,
helped refound Alpha Rho in 2004, and
served in several leadership roles, including as #1 in 2006-07. Mike graduated
from Rutgers in May and is now working
in Honduras teaching English at a 1st–6th
grade school before going to graduate
school for Neuroscience in the fall of ’08.
We caught up with Mike via e-mail and
asked him about life and work in that
Central American country. He writes:
them come from broken families with the
mother doing most of the child rearing; the
fathers are usually in the U.S. (illegally),
dead (from drug trafficking), alcoholics, or
with other women. Most of the houses are
made of mud and wood, have dirt floors with
no bathrooms or running water and indoor
wood burning stoves. The average age for a
Honduran woman to have her first child is
14, and the average number of kids is 7.
Despite all of this, these kids make it to
school most days and when they graduate 6th
grade, many of them gain scholarships from
our school to go onto high school, a great
achievement for anyone growing up in these
conditions. For most of the kids the school is
a place they love to come to. The love and
attention they receive here is usually far
greater then anything they would at home,
and it is a place that allows them to just
be kids.
After the classes are done for the day at
around 5:30, I walk the 20 minutes back
home, usually with several kids from the
school along a dusty road. I love teaching
down here and working with the kids, I love
visiting there homes and seeing how they live.
Nothing I learned in college or Chi Psi could
have prepared me for this type of work, except
for one thing. Put others before yourself, I am
here because I choose to put these kids before
my personal interests, just like I choose to put
my Brothers’ interests before my own when I
joined Chi Psi.
Yours In the Bonds,
Mike Wallace, Rho ’07
Imagine a place where children with
Downs Syndrome are stoned to death because
they are thought to be possessed by demons,
where children with AIDS live in the streets
and are spit on because they are thought to
be “unclean,” a place where 8-year-olds sell
there bodies in child prostitution rings. This
place is not the mythical Sodom or
Gomorrah or some far away country in
Africa. This is a place much closer, this
place is Honduras.
Honduras is the second poorest country
in the western hemisphere and it is where I
have been teaching since September. A normal day for me starts at about 7 A.M. with
the sounds of roosters and traffic.
I live with a doctor and his wife
whose children have gone off to
the university in the capital of
Tegucigalpa. We have some coffee
and bread for breakfast and then
leave to go buy some groceries or
lunch for the day. Most of the children in my school work on the
streets in the mornings selling tortillas, newspapers, or fruit to the
many buses and trucks that pass
through the town. Because of this
classes do not start until noon, but
I have an accelerated English class
of about 10 for the 5th and 6th
grades for those who are really motivated to learn from 10am11:30am. Once normal classes
start at noon I teach classes ranging from computers to Phys. Ed.,
depending on the day. The children Mike Wallace, Ρ’07, accepting the 2007 Stanley J. Birge Award at the 2007 Convention Banquet, while
are very excited to learn, but also

New Colony at Union: Returning to Our Roots
E
fforts for Pi Colony at Union
College have yielded results
beyond expectation. Two years
of preparation and two months
of on-the-ground recruitment and
developmental work led by Visitor
Nick Gilly, ΔΔ’07, have culminated in
an excited and ambitious 27-man
pledge class.
While the men will not go through
the Pledge Education process until this
winter, they have already elected
Colony officer positions, including Billy
Tully, who attended Chi Psi’s Spencer
Institute and 166th Convention in
Nashville this summer, as Colony
President.
Already the men have been planning several philanthropy events on
campus, and are working to continue
improving the relationship between
Chi Psi and Union College to ensure
Chi Psi’s foot-hold on campus and
within the Union Greek Community.
Additionally, the increasingly
organized Alpha Pi alumni have begun
planning an on-campus Speaker Series,
and the National Fraternity, Pi Alumni,
and Union College administration are
collaborating to find a Lodge space for
the men to occupy next fall. While the
Colony is still brand new, if progress
continues at the current rate the Pi
Colony will blossom into a strong and
healthy new Alpha Pi. ■

William Loyd Florence Jr. ’42 died on 2
Oct 07. Loyd married Ann Florence in 1936,
and together they raised four children. His
life was marked by a lifelong passion for aviation, which began when Charles Lindbergh
flew over Athens while Loyd was in elementary school. Spending every minute he could
at the local airport, he earned his pilot’s
license at 15, before he got a driver’s license.
He graduated in 1939 from the first civilian
pilot training program, sponsored by UGA.
As a civilian he instructed for war training
service and went to Miami’s Pan American
Transport Command. A Pioneer Flight
Officer for Pan American Airways, in 1945 he
flew the first commercial flight from New

North Atlantic from New York to Belfast. He
received the North African and the
European campaign medals.
President of Athens Aviation (operating

Stanley A. Thoren ’69 writes, “Frank’s
health had been deteriorating, but he was
able to stay in his Dowagiac, Wisconsin,
home until the last few weeks. I first met
Frank in July 1966, when he hosted a rush
party at his house in Wilmette. Most of the
brotherhood has memories of Frank’s many
visits to the Lodge in Champaign during the
’60s and ’70s, his avuncular manner, his love
of the arts, his loyal friendships, his sense of
humor, and his bohemian lifestyle.” Frank is
survived by two neices, a nephew, many great
nephews and great nieces, and his Chi Psi
brothers and friends. “Peace to his memory.”
ALPHA THETA DELTA
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
James M. Cain ’37, Washington Husky
football star and successful Seattle insurance
broker, died on 26 Aug 07 in Rancho Mirage,
CA, ten days shy of his 95th birthday.
Excelling academically in high school and
lettering in football, basketball, baseball, and
track, he was named “Outstanding Oklahoma HS Athlete” of 1932 and was recruited
by Washington Coach Jimmy Phelan with a
full athletic scholarship. Arriving in Seattle
with $15 in his pocket, Jimmie went on to be
a star player for the Huskies gridiron, starting
on both offense and defense. He was 1935
team Captain and led in scoring and selected
in 1935 and 1936 as First Team All-American,
with All-Coast recognition. He was named
Most Valuable Coast Player in 1936, and he
received many other honors in 1936. He
played in the 1937 Rose Bowl against
Pittsburgh and on the College All-Star team
that was the first to defeat a pro team, the
Green Bay Packers. He was drafted by the
Redskins, played for a short time, and earned
a BA in economics and business in 1937.
In 1939, Jimmie married his college sweet-
heart, Grace Weir Dolan. After college,
Jimmie was 1937 Husky Freshman assistant
football coach, and coach and player for the
City Municipal Athletic League while working for General Insurance. He later served as
president of the Washington Athletic Club
and the UW Alumni Association and was
active in numerous Seattle civic clubs and
social organizations. He was Past Master of
his Masonic Lodge, member of the Scottish
Rite, Potentate of Nile Temple 1958, and
member of the Royal Order of Jesters. He
was a Rotarian, Kiwanis president, and March
of Dimes Chair. He was a member of Lions,
Navy League, Community Chest, United
Good Neighbors, President of Pacific NW
AAU Association, Safeco President’s Council,
and a Life Member of the Tacoma Chamber
of Commerce. At UW, Jimmie was honored
as a “Husky Legend” and inducted into the
State Sports Hall of Fame. He was recognized
by the National Football Foundation and
Hall of Fame with the Tony Gasparovich
Coach Award for his continuous support of
young athletes. And he was a chapter in Greg
Brown’s new book, What It Means to be a
Husky – Don James and Washington’s Greatest
Players. He refereed 25 years in the PAC 10
football conference, 14 East-West Shrine
Bowls, one while being Potentate of Nile
Temple. He was the only football player to
both play in the Rose Bowl and later referee
it. He belonged to US Coast Guard Auxiliary,
US Army Reserve, Navy League and was an
active War Chest Fundraiser. Jimmie established his successful Cain Insurance Agency
in 1941. He was a member of Sand Point
Country Club, Broadmore Country Club,
Seattle Yacht Club, Washington Athletic Club
and the Seattle Tennis Club, where he played
tennis well into his 80s. Jimmie is survived by
his two daughters and two grandchildren.
Investing Through Philanthropy
Bill Kimball Speaks On the Joys of Giving (adapted from a 1998 newsletter)
S
ixty years ago, when a bottle of Coca
Cola sold for a nickel and college tuition
was a fraction of its current cost,
Stanford junior William R. Kimball, an economics major, found an original means to pay his
way through school – selling Coca-Cola.
“At the time, you could only buy Coke at a
couple of places on campus. I bought the franchise from a company in San Jose and began
selling Coke in the Lodge and other fraternity
and sorority houses, and also installed vending
machines at various locations around campus.”
Bill bought the drinks for 3.7 cents, sold them
for a nickel to the Greeks, who in turn sold
them for 7 cents to their members.
“Back then, it was on the honor system – if
you wanted a Coke you just signed your name
on a sheet of paper and left the money. I’m not
sure that would work today,” he adds wryly.
“One morning,” he recalls, “my fraternity
Brothers were all looking at me funny, glancing
over to a copy of the Stanford Daily, where the
headline read ‘Machine Gives Out Free Cokes.’
Apparently, one of my
machines had gone crazy.
I ran over to the boat
house and saw that 60
bottles were gone. Later,
I discovered that most of
them were in closets in the Lodge – It was a
prank and the Brothers gave them back.”
That spirit and comradery is what stood
out most in his memory of his college days.
“Stanford was a smaller place,” he says. “We
had bonfires before the Big Game and fireworks to celebrate every victory.” Most of
all, he thought of Stanford and Chi Psi as
places that produced leaders. That is what he
strove to be – both in the business world and
as a philanthropist.
After college, he joined the Army and later
went to Harvard Business School. But despite
an impressive resume, he said, potential
employers were always more interested in the
business he started as an undergraduate in the
Stanford Lodge.
In Memoriam
Arthur McArthur, Eta Delta ’48
rthur McArthur Eta Delta ’48, a
wonderful, ebullient Chi Psi character of the first class, died on 14
March 2007. He always seemed to have a
million stories to share if you got him
going, although he could just as easily
break into a song at the least provocation.
His family (and a few Fraternity
Brothers) cringed whenever they heard,
“That reminds me of a song….” Some said
he had a questionable voice and ability to
stay on key, but whatever his deficiencies
might have been were made up for in
loudness and enthusiasm. One family
member said that he couldn’t help singing
any more than the birds could; it was just
part of his nature.
Alumni President David Waterfall ’84
recalled, “Arthur was the Birthday Banquet
choregus for as long as I can remember.
He was always the first to start a rousing
chorus of songs long since forgotten by us
youngsters graduating in the ’80s, ’90s and
’00s. But all sang along as best they could.”
It appeared that there were few
Oregon Chi Psis unknown to Arthur, and
he could usually tell you where someone
was from, who he was related to, and other
trivia you should know about him.
In 1920, Arthur’s father, Lewis A.
McArthur, Delta Delta ’08, was commissioned by Chi Psi to examine the S.
Maralda Society and the University of
Oregon for “its suitability as a field for
Chi Psi extention.” The report was favorable, and eventually Arthur (born in 1923)
joined Eta Delta. At the time of his initiation in 1943, other Chi Psi relatives included his brother Lewis L. McArthur, ΔΔ’38,
three nephews, and a cousin.
One of Arthur’s earliest memories was
of traipsing around the state with his
father as the elder McArthur set benchmarks, surveyed, and researched his
indispensable Oregon Geographic Names.
The first edition of the book was published
in 1928, and Arthur’s brother, Lewis, edited the new edition with a CD.
Arthur grew up on the family farmstead in the Greenhills section of Portland.
His father was a VP of Pacific Power and
Light, and his mother was instrumental
in seeing St. Thomas More Church built.
Arthur related having a happy childhood
as the youngest of four, widely-spaced
children. He was a Boy Scout, and scouting
followed him throughout his life.
As a youngster, he traveled with his
father to Washington, D.C., and met Vice
President John Nance Garner. For the rest
of his life, he loved to exclaim when
meeting someone, “Shake the hand that
shook the hand of John Nance Garner.”
A couple of generations later, it drew some

A
In Memoriam
Arthur McArthur eventually married
his high-school sweetheart, Dorothy,
but that was after World War II, when
he flew B-24 bombers over the Pacific.
quizzical looks.
Arthur was somewhat of a
legend at Lincoln High School.
When his grandchildren were at
Lincoln, the students were still
telling stories of Arthur as the
first and only class bartender ever
elected in student-body elections.
It was an office the principal quickly abolished, of course. He ran with
a crowd that took up skiing because
the Blue Ox Bar at Timberline (ski
area on Mt. Hood) was open to
teenagers. It was a more innocent
time; some of the group’s pranks
wouldn’t work so well today.
For several summers, he sold
Fourth of July fireworks, and one of
his two stands, located where the
St. Thomas More driveway is now,
exploded. The resulting display, visible
throughout the city, made the front page
of the Oregonian newspaper.
World War II interrupted his education at the University of Oregon. He copiloted a B-24 in the Pacific theater and
managed to get lost over the ocean for a
horrifying hour on a bombing mission. He
was matter-of-fact about the war experience, didn’t like it, but wasn’t traumatized
by it, and looked upon it as an unpleasant
task that had to be done. He came back
with a repertoire of new songs, most of
them scatalogical or worse.
One of the first things he did when he
came home was to marry his high-school
sweetheart, Dotti, whom he dubbed “The
Queen.” They set up housekeeping in the
cold-water married student trailers, but for
a while became house parents at the Chi
Psi Lodge, in the area adjoining the downstairs ladies’ room. It was perhaps the only
time that a female lived in the Lodge during the academic year.
When Arthur and Dotti returned to
Portland, Arthur started an insurance business, and eventually found himself director of public relations at Jantzen. It was a
job that fit him like the one-piece suit that
fit the famous Jantzen girl in the ads.
Arthur was always a connector. One of
the thrills of his life was hunting down people, and frequent family trips were always
good excuses for tracing people. He kept
his own 3 x 5-inch card files on which he
wrote notes of his Chi Psi connections.
And he was the official obiter (made-up
word) for Brothers that passed away during his years.
He served on a variety of civic boards,
was president of his condominium board,
and volunteered at the Oregon Historical
Society. He knew Portland history intimately, and he was a frequent source of
information for journalists and scholars.
A woodworker, he had an elaborate
shop in the basement of his home. He also
worked with rawhide and took as his personal responsibility the repair and maintenance of the historic rawhide chairs at
Timberline Lodge.
Classmate Bill Bessey ’49 recalled that
“he seemed to embody a passion for the
Brothers with enthusiasm that was just as
strong as anything else. Arthur was a heck
of a historian, a bit of a songbird, and an
unrelenting promoter of Chi Psi.”
In recent years, Arthur was instrumental in Eta Delta’s Capital Campaign.
He actively and enthusiastically called
upon fellow alumni to recall their cherished memories of the Lodge, and to consider giving back to her.
Arthur was a collector. For example,
at one time he had more than 300 wooden
hangers from hotels, all of them beutifully
polished. The more remote the hotel or
the longer it had been out of business, the
better. Th hanging up a guest’s coat always
elicited a short monologue on the hotel.
But his real expertise with collecting
was with people. He made friends everywhere he went and kept them throughout
his life. He knew the personal histories
and details of the lives of hundreds of Chi
Psis, not just those from his own college
days, but right up to the present. We will
all miss him greatly.

Fall 2007 The Purple and Gold 35
Mark Your Calendar Now to Attend Chi Psi’s
167th Convention from 30 July - 3 August 2008
at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York!
This is the 100th Anniversary of the
completion of the “new” Lodge at
Cornell after the deadly loss of 1906,
and alumni are completing a major
renovation this year. The Lodge will
host a reception on Friday night, and
Saturday’s Banquet will be held in
style at the Cornell Statler Hotel’s
Grand Ballroom (run by that premier hospitality management school).
Don’t miss Chi Psi’s first northeastern Convention in a decade.
There’s so much to do in Ithaca and the surrounding area in the summer:
Concerts to satisfy every taste, plays and musical theater, museums and
galleries galore. The Sciencenter provides hands-on experiences for young and
old, and the Cayauga Nature Center offers five miles of nature trails, exhibits
and programs. For dinosaur lovers, the Paleontological Research Institution has
two million fossiles! And the Johnson Museum at Cornell (at right – a gift from
Herbert F. Johnson Jr., Psi ’22), just up the hill from the Lodge, has an excellent
collection of Asian art, plus many other permanent and traveling exhiblits. And
the summer in Ithaca is filled with all kinds of celebrations with performance,
food, and fun. Contact Chad Larson at the Central Office for more details.
