<=The President's GReport Dear Brothers:

Spring! Glorious Spring! After this long "winter of our dis­

content," the prospect of new life, sunshine, flowers, green grass, and all the exciting renewal that comes with spring brings hope to a slumbering world, Similar signs of new life are apparent in our fraternity,

As we approach our 150th birth- · day in this Orwellian year of 1984, it is not surprising that the subject of computers looms large on our fraternal menu, D,U.'s new special "black box task force," chaired by Board Member H, Karl Huntoon, is already making plans for the in­stallation of computers in every chapter which does not already have one, with eventual connecting links with Headquarters and through Headquarters to the chap­ters, Prospective uses are legion. For example, with these new machines, chapters could:

• Easily and quickly accomplish all needed bookkeeping proce­dures on programs furnished from Headquarters,

• Make monthly financial re­ports directly to the Headquarters computer, where an analysis could be made and the chapter alerted to trouble spots noted by staff.

• Compile and maintain accu­rate alumni records and accom­plish all cha pteI' mailings and alumni newsletters ,

• Form interconnecting net­working links with other chapters where ideas on everything from so­cial functions to chapter mem­bership development programs could be exchanged,

• Send semester reports to Headquarters and receive profes­sional reactions from staff,

• Dispatch Quarterly articles and send requests for information and receive replies,

• Obtain leads for job prospects from the Headquarters alumni data bank,

• Plan menus and obtain nutri­tion tips for kitchens,

• Complete chapter minutes and other records , including inventory control.

• Develop alumni directories and exchange rush tips and in­formation,

• Make reservations to attend re­gional and international leadership seminars and access international files on programming matters such as the development of pledge education materials, membership developmental programs, and alumni newsletters ,

The list could go on and on, but perhaps these few suggestions will indicate some of the far-reaching opportunities which new technolo­gy brings to the fraternity scene.

Most of the remainder of this issue is devoted to the new 150-year history of the fraternity so artfully and interestingly written by our great leader Brother Orville Read, It is a magnificient book, one all of you will wish to own, and . as it comes off the press, exciting new directions for the next 150 years become visible,

What an exciting time to be alive. What an exciting time to be a part of the growth and development of our fraternity ,

In Delta Upsilon, as in nature, we welcome spring! Glorious spring!

The Quarterly Presents Highlights from the I50-Year History Selected by Author Orville H. Read

Orville H. Read

Orville H. Read, Missouri '33, author of Challenge, Conflict and Change - The First 150 Years of Delta Up­silon Fmtemity, excerpts parts of the SII-page volume for us.

Chapter One A college fraternity would seem, at first glance, to be

an unlikely prospect to reach its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Despite all the flowing endorse­ments of the fraternity system, written and spoken over all those years, still there are and have always been enormous problems which pose a continuing threat to the success of college fraternities.

Of these problems, Delta Upsilon had more than its share in its early years and thus was more vulnerable to destruction. Yet Delta Upsilon Fraternity approaches that .ISO-year milestone in vigorous and growing health.

Consider for a few minutes the many perils that would face a fledgling fraternity beginning a pre­carious and hotly-contested existence in 1834 - the obstacles and pitfalls that would surely bring it to the brink of extinction many times. Start with the fact that the lifeblood of a fraternity is necessarily its under­graduate membership and that you therefore pin your

26

hopes on a group of men in their late teens and early twenties. Fine young men, to be sure, but youths some- . times lacking in maturity and acquired wisdom, and with many other interests.

Remember that they would, very frequently, face unfriendly, and often hostile, faculties and adminis­trations; that the leadership of a chapter from year to year is a fragile chain (with a single year of inept administration always threatening disaster); that social values and objectives do not remain constant; that travel and communication were in the early days most difficult and tenuous ; that wars and depressions would intervene; in short that survival would demand the constant and successful negotiation of a hazardous and shifting obstacle course . . ..

Debating Was Popular With Early Groups

The purpose behind these groups was in part liter­ary, as the founding of libraries, the delivering of orations, the holding of debates on national and local matters, all show. In addition, they reflected the searching spirit of the new age. The simple fact that these aspects of student effort continued for a long time, as one of the most outstanding characteristics of early chapter life in the Fraternity, is proof of the significance of this factor as a source for fraternity development.

These forensic exercises were not taken lightly by the members, nor were the subjects of discussion frivo­lous. In 1840 Williams debated the question, "Is the pulpit more favorable to eloquence than the bar?" Decided in the negative by a one vote majority. Simi­larly they debated, "Can there be an honest Atheist? ," with no record of the decision. Surprisingly, this liber­al organization favored capital punishment inflicted in public.

The Hamilton chapter, a few years later, was debat­ing, "Does the cultivation of the reasoning faculties afford more pleasure than the imagination?" The president pro tem ruled for the negative. On a more material level in 1849 they debated, "Will the acquisi­tion of the California gold mines contribute to the prosperity of the United States?" and decided that it would not! ...

Need for Badge Argued at Many Conventions . Surprisingly enough for an organization of high ~deals and unassailable standards, the subject attract­mg most attention in the Troy Convention and later meetings was not adopting a strong stance on anti­secrecy, but rather revolved around debate over the need for a badge and the shape that such a badge should take. Indeed, the Quinquennial, in its section "Records of Early Conventions," reports in full:

"The first convention was held in Troy, N.Y., November 10, 1847. A second was held in Albany on t?e fourth Wednesday in May, 1849; a third in Wil­lIamstown, Mass., probably in May, 1850; and a fourth with Union Chapter, July 10, 1851. It has not been found possible to give the records of these conven­~ions; but the nature of their proceedings will be found m the chapter on 'The Development of the Badge.'"

That section of the Quinquennial occupied ten full pages!

Princeton and Vermont Chapters Not Acknowledged

That chapters of the fraternity existed for a time at the University of Vermont and at Princeton University is well documented and seemingly not open to ques­tions. Nonetheless, the official position of the Fraternity has always been that these chapters never existed. Our Record, as late as 1981, omits both from its chapter roll.

The Manual, however, does, in that edition, accord some recognition to Vermont, in mentioning that it attended the 1852 Convention in Burlington, Ver­mont, as Delta Psi and that it "withdrew from the Confederation in 1854 ... . " No mention is made of Princeton. On the other hand, Baird's Manual lists a Delta Upsilon chapter at Princeton, 1870-71, but does not list Delta U as having an inactive chapter at Ver­mont.

Dr. Galpin, in his research for Delta Upsilon - One HundTed Years, satisfied himself that indeed both did have a brief existence as chapters of the Fraternity, citing Convention records and other documents as solid proof.

The reasons why these chapters were not long ago acknowledged are not known. It may originally have been the Fraternity's traditional reluctance to confess to the loss of chapters. More recently it may have been inertia, with no one sufficiently interested in the sub­ject to take the necessary steps to correct the rec­ord . ...

Middlebury Convention of 1864 a Vital Meeting

The Convention of 1864, which met at Middlebury on March 9 and 10 was unquestionably one of the most important meetings in the entire history of the

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY' April, 1984

Fraternity. The Fraternity was in dire straits, to state the case modestly. Not only was Williams gone, but the strength of the Fraternity had dwindled on other cam­puses, and, in fact, Amherst, Western Reserve, Wes­leyan, and Bowdoin had also ceased to exist.

The Fraternity, therefore, consisted of but six active chapters, and the future seemed dim. Darius C. Sack­ett, Hamilton 1864, president of the Confederation, wrote to Rutgers, "I have not heard from but two or three chapters and they seem a little uncertain whether they can be represented or not at this time. Now if we do not have a quorum this time, I think our existence as a Confederation may better cease; for it will be better for each chapter' to exist independently than to be dead weight upon each other. Standing among the first chapters in the Confederation, we certainly need your influence and advice in our next convention."

These pleas fell upon relatively deaf ears, and when the hour arrived for the Convention to come to order at Middlebury, only the delegates from Middlebury, Hamilton, and Rochester were present. Since this failed to constitute a quorum, nothing was left but to recess until the afternoon, when it was hoped that some other chapter would make its appearance.

There were but three possibilities: Colby, Rutgers, and Washington and Jefferson. Little hope could have been held that Colby would appear - their chapter was in severe decline. Washington and Jefferson was a long distance from Middlebury, and was an unlikely attendee. Rutgers, however, had elected a delegate early in February, one Thomas W. Jones. Most fortu­nately, he did arrive in the early hours of the after­noon, the Convention could proceed with its business, and the death of the Fraternity was averted. Had he not appeared, almost without question the Fraternity would have been destroyed ....

Finances Always a Problem Fraternity finances in those times, and for many

years thereafter, were very much on a hand-to-mouth and day-to-day basis. In 1909 the Fraternity treasurer wrote to the treasurer of the Stanford chapter, "In making up the chapter tax bills for the current year I find that on account of the large railroad fares of your Convention delegates the Council is indebted to your chapter in the amount of $130.80. We cannot at pres­ent spare enough money from the treasury to pay this bill, but as soon as I can collect some of the taxes due from other chapters I shall take pleasure in sending you a check for the amount mentioned ." A letter in a similar vein went to the California chapter.

At the same time, H. S. Smalley, Michigan 1900, the general secretary, was writing to Clifford Swan, Tech­nology 1899, the treasurer, rather plaintively, "You may remember that in New York I spoke to you about receiving a portion of my salary this month . .. could you get a check to me by the 9th or 10th? The 11th or 12th would do, if I knew it was coming sure." ...

Goethals'Membership a Controversy

In its short life span Manhattan sowed the seeds for a later tempest. A hot controversy occupied the time of the Board of Directors for a number of months in 1916, when the membership of General George W. Goethals, Manhattan 1877, was questioned at a time when his great renown as the "Builder of the Panama Canal" was at its peak.

The challenge came from a Harvard Delta U who, according to Board minutes in 1916, "had discovered that General Goethals had never attended Manhattan College." This was true. Goethals probably never even set foot on the Manhattan College campus. Equally true, neither had Delta Upsilon. The Manhattan chap­ter of the Fraternity had been, despite ·its name, lo­cated at the College of the City of New York during its very brief existence in the 1870s.

Some room for confusion on the part of the Har­vard man was understandable, since no other chapter of the Fraternity, either then or later, bore a name which did not reflect the name of the sheltering in­stitution. However, the Harvard brother persisted in his attack even after being informed that there was no relationship between Manhattan College and the de­funct Delta U Manhattan chapter. Undaunted, he "shifted ground and based his deductions on a short conversation he had had with the General, and some inferences he had received from the General's son. Inasmuch as the letter displayed some impatience and demanded "the instant publication in the Qum·terly of a retraction penitential, and also the instant destruction of all pictures, cuts, and all other material noted in his index .... " a committee of the Board investigated carefully and fully .

After several months of study by the Board sub­committee, which in all probability consisted only of John Patterson [President of the Fraternity], it was verified from the record that "General Goethals was initiated into Delta Upsilon, had always regarded him­self a member of the Fraternity, and does now." Pat­terson added, "Moreover, General Goethals has accepted an invitation extended through Brother Crossett to attend the dinner which the New York Delta Upsilon Club proposed to give to distinguished military men of the Fraternity, imposing only the con­dition that he not be asked to speak." ...

Council Oversteps Authority There were, of course, other controversies in the

Fraternity too, as expansion policies were argued oVer the years .

The advocates of expansion on the Council may have overstepped themselves with the establishment of Wisconsin, Lafayette, and Columbia in 1885. The Annual, which was the official record of the 1884 Con­vention, gives no indication that any of these was approved for installation. Indeed, the only favorable action on any of the three was a vote by the delegates to investigate the "feasibility of establishing a chapter" at

28

Wisconsin, with the committee in charge to make a report at the next Convention. With respect to Co­lumbia, the Annual makes no reference at all. As to Lafayette, the Annual records that the Convention lis­tened to an unfavorable report on this institution by a committee which seems to have been appointed to investigate. The Convention then proceeded to dis­charge this committee and did not choose a new body to inquire further.

Thus it can be argued that none of these chapters was legitimatized at birth. On the other hand, it can fairly be said that recording procedures a century ago were less than totally accurate and that sometimes the Annual contained misleading statements and omis­sions of important material, with the editor perhaps on occasion printing what he thought had taken place. Still, though it must be read with care and some skep­ticism, the Annual stands as the only existing official record . .. .

Assembl y Grants a Charter First On the same day that Franklin D. Roosevelt was

sworn in as President of a troubled, depression-ridden nation, March 4,1933, the Washington State Chapter was also installed. To the local chapter, Psi Nu Sigma, which had for 12 long years doggedly petitioned (through three college generations, as the Quarterly said), the event at Pullman, Washington, had greater import than the ceremonies on the Potomac.

Psi Nu Sigma had also been the beneficiary of an unusual legislative act in the Fraternity, a vote by the 1931 Assembly to grant the charter, subject to con­currence by the next Convention - a fatherly rap on the knuckles for the undergraduates by their elders who felt that the Conventions had for far too long neglected this very worthy petitioner.

"It has been the rule rather than the exception dur­ing recent years," the Quarterly reported, "for the Con­vention to disregard some of the favorable recom­mendation of the Board. However, not until this year has the Convention granted a charter to a petitioner after the Board had recommended that the petition be laid upon the table." The article went on to note care­fully that the Assembly's action was not to be con­structed as antagonistic to the petitioner from Western Ontario, and that the Assembly had been unanimous in its seconding of the action of the Convention with respect to Western Ontario ....

Conventions During Depression Seemed Opulent

The 1932 Convention may have had the semblance of opulence, since it was held in New York City at the Waldorf-Astoria, but the "World's finest" had offered a room rent of $4 per person, double. The next year, at the Stevens Hotel in Chicago, the rate would be a less punishing $3 .50 per man or $4.50 double. There was, moreover, a $18.50 coupon book which gave alumni "bed, board, bath and other entertainment for the three days of the Convention, including daily admission to the World's Fair. .. .

World War II Takes Its Toll

World War II took its toll on the two nations, but yet the Fraternity survived amazingly well.

During 1942 and 1943, though, the toll of house closings mounted. Early in 1943 Washington and Lee had only two members and one pledge. The pledge was 14 years old, probably one of the youngest ever to wear a pledge button legitimately. They closed the house, put the chapter pictures in the University li­brary, and reported in the Quarterly, "We feel that we are fortunate to be able to leave the DU house with no debts and with a good name on the campus and in the town."

Colby closed its house in the spring of 1943, as did many others. Cornell rented their house to the Navy and stored their furniture in the kitchen and base­ment. At Kansas, fraternities were already three to a house, with most chapter houses taken over by the military. These takeovers on many campuses were a blessing to most chapters, since they relieved them of the financial burden of carrying a house at a time when the undergraduate rolls were decimated. Where the military was not present, a few houses, such as Williams, were simply boarded up for the duration. The Syracuse house had a different fate - it became a "coed cottage."

Some chapters, such as Hamilton and Lafayette, reported in 1943 that they were down to a single undergraduate member. Surprisingly, though, the Fraternity treasurer, Frank Miesse, reported a record number of initiates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943. The treasurer exulted that the only line item over budget was for initiate badges. "Initiate badges cost $6200. We budgeted $2900. Nobody's mad ." On income of $49,527.20, the Fraternity had a surplus of $15,239.36 which Miesse described, with his usual conservatism, as "Left over to help meet next year's deficit." . ..

Boyce wrote for the Quarterly in the spring of 1948, "The morale and general outlook in nearly all the chapters found themselves in a state of disunity. Cliques and friction were not uncommon diseases in the chapter meetings, and at social functions. There were many reasons for this - for example, the veteran versus the non-veteran, the pre-war initiate versus the post-war initiate, the married man versus the bache­lor, etc. In one midwestern chapter the oldest active was twice the age of the youngest member. It is no wonder that disunity and wide difference of opinion would exist under such abnormal circumstance. But once again where men have failed, time has come to the rescue and is doing an excellent job of eliminating this condition."

A previous traveling representative had reported shortly after the end of the war that at Lehigh, "Col­lege authorities informed him that previous campus rulings for the most part did not apply to ex­servicemen, who are working harder than ever before but are also apt to play harder." One chapter put it in perspective by commenting that "veterans were so

DELTA UPSILON QUART ERLY· April, 1984

anxious to get down to the beer parlors in the evenings that we put them in the front rooms to make it easier for them to get out." . . .

Harvard Chapter Divided from Within

Decimation of undergraduate enrollments on most campuses with the onset of World War II dealt the final, and perhaps merciful, blow to the Harvard chapter, which had been wracked by inner strife for at least three decades. In 1938, in one of its few bursts of vitality, the chapter had reported 76 members. By 1942, only a few months after Pearl Harbor, the chap-' ter was non-existent.

As early as 1912, and probably before that time, there was a strong movement within the chapter to withdraw or secede from Delta Upsilon. Galpin, in a masterpiece of understatement, says, " . . . there seems to have grown an attitude of mind that was not entirely in keeping with the spirit and ideals of Delta Upsilon." As a matter of cold fact, almost all the undergraduates and many alumni were deeply antagonistic to the Fraternity, and strongly in favor of a separate orga­nization, the D.U. Club, whicn was recognized on cam­pus as one of the "final clubs." Final clubs bestrode campus activities and social events. Comprised of some ten percent of the student body, they were the all-dominant faction. Greek-letter fraternities, on the other hand, were in very low repute. "None of the best men belong to them; they take in left-overs, oddities, misfits and freaks," wrote one visitor to the campus.

Thus there sprang up a dual personality - the Harvard chapter and the D.U. Club. Only a portion of the chapter members were also Club members, and only a portion of the Club members were also Fraternity members, so that the house was divided within itself. In rushing, candidates were told that the Club did not recognize the Fraternity and was about to secede. Herbert Wheaton Congdon, Columbia 1897, who in 1919 wrote a masterful summary of the con­flict, following a one week's visit to Cambridge, said of the undergraduates, "They have also hidden or lost or destroyed the charter, wear no badges, avoid any rela­tionship with D.U. men in Harvard as graduate stu­dents. The men feel keenly their hypocritical position in taking an oath of loyalty to the Fraternity under such conditions."

The Harvard men were also concerned that mem­bers from other chapters might impose themselves on the Harvard chapter and attempt to affiliate with it. A member of the class of 1918, according to Congdon's report, stated, "The trouble was acute from the fear of D.U. men of other chapters, graduate students at Har­vard, who considered or might consider that they had a right to associate with Harvard men."

A Stanford member, Congdon reported, was pass­ing through Cambridge on his way home from World War I service, and went to the D.U. house. "He got by

. the butler (yes, the butler!) by saying he was a member

29

Page 8: quarterlyspring1984

from California. Entering the living room he found one of the men reading there. He said, 'I'm a D.U. from Stanford.' 'Ah,' said the Harvard man, as he resumed reading the paper." ...

Founding Chapter Becomes Extinct The mother chapter at Williams College, which had

withdrawn from the Fraternity in 1863 and returned in 1883, by the 1963 centennial of that withdrawal was again on its way to extinction, but this time for entirely different reasons.

Action by the college's board of trustees in October of 1962 sounded the death knell, not only for Delta Upsilon, but for more than a dozen other general fraternities. The death watch had actually begun a year earlier, with the appointment by the trustees of the so-called Angevine Committee "to examine into the current fraternity situation at the College and make recommendations relative thereto."

The fraternity system at Williams had already undergone substantial changes. Though they had long been criticized as a focal point of many campus activities to the exclusion of non-fraternity men, in actual practice the fraternity doors had opened in­creasingly wide to the student body, especially after the prohibition of fraternity affiliation for freshmen, a measure which severely strained chapter finances. As a culmination of that trend, by about 1960 the college had adopted a rushing procedure known as "Total Opportunity," "by virtue of which," said the Angevine report, "a man who agrees to accept whatever bid is offered to him is almost certain to receive one (though it may not correspond to his hopes and may not have been made with any enthusiasm on the part of the frat~rnity)." Though the union of an unenthusiastic chapter with a lukewarm member may not impress most fraternity men as implementing the highest pur­poses of the fraternity system, the Report added that, "As a matter of mechanics, this procedure has been successfully carried out for the last two years." As the report admitted, "Many of the alumni believe that Total Opportunity has made a mockery of the original concept of fraternities as voluntary associations oflike­minded people." ...

Expansion Opposed by Some, Later Supported

The undergraduates opposed to expansion had company. Many alumni looked at expansion with a jaundiced eye, and certainly opposed anything more than a slow growth curve. Even the redoubtable Tom Miller [Thomas C. Miller, Hamilton 1885, President of the Fraternity from 1926-1928] addressing the Centennial Convention at Williams in 1934, said, "We are interested in expansion. However, I think we are approaching our limit. This has been manifest to the Board of Petitioning Societies for years." He was re­sponding to a statement from the host chapter that

30

there should be no more new chapters until "the Fraternity is consolidated and all chapters made strong." Utopia! .

. . . It was a good thing for their peace of mind that they couldn't look ahead to the four-year period three decades later during which no less than 20 new chap­ters would be chartered. They would have been pleased, though, to have known that for 13 years, from 1935 to 1948, not a single new chapter would be in­stalled. This hiatus, of course, stemmed more from the Great Depression and World War II than from per­suasive arguments at Convention.

There was not, certainly, great concern in the Fraternity over this protracted holiday in the induc­tion of new chapters. In 1938, the report of the Board of Petitioning Societies to the 104th Convention, read in its entirety:

"No formal petitions were received during the year. Several informal inquiries were discussed at the April meeting of the Board. In no case was the situation deemed sufficiently well advanced for forward action at this time.

"It appears that the policy of the past few years, that of watchful waiting in regard to further expansion, is the logical one to continue at the moment."

There was no debate or discussion on the report at either the Convention or Assembly.

It was most unfortunate that the turbulent anti­fraternity (and anti-most-everything) years on college campuses came just when Delta Upsilon had finally moved into a program of brisk expansion.

In 1964 the Convention had urged the establish­ment of a "fund for expansion." The undergraduates were ready to move the Fraternity into new fields at a much more rapid pace than ever before, and these new feelings were shared by the Board.

By late 1969, however, with fraternity membership declining on many campuses, and with the challenges

. to all "the establishment" becoming more strident, the Board recorded its opinion that preservation was more important than expansion. Income was dimin­ishing, problems were increasing, unavoidable ex­penses were on the rise.

Still, the machinery for expansion had already been set in motion. On February 7, 1970, there were 14 colonies and petitioning societies and there was little inclination to deny charters to those groups that qual­ified, even though a conservative stance might have argued otherwise . Obviously it placed a strain on Delta Upsilon to continue an aggressive expansion pr'ogram at that time, but with the wheels already turning, the Fraternity proceeded with the installation of four chapters in 1969, eight in 1970, and five in 1971 -17 hungry new mouths to feed from a dirninishing lar-der. .

It is a tribute to the strength of the fraternity system in general, and the Delta Upsilon organization in par­ticular, that only five of these chapters failed to sur­vive. They could hardly have come into being at a less auspicious time ... .

Permanent Trust Fund Established The Permanent Trust Fund, which so often has

proved a strong anchor for the Fraternity, had its inception as far back as 1899. In that year, George F. Andrews, Brown 1892, then president of the Council, in a letter to the Council proposed the establishment qf an Endowment Fund. He was of the opinion that the time had come for Delta Upsilon to raise a sum suffi­cient to permit extension of Fraternity work. He offered to give $200 toward this end, provided that $1,000 was subscribed by other alumni. If these alum­ni gifts should equal $2,000, then he would increase his contribution to $500.

It was a plan well ahead of its time, and never did anything of consequence come from it, although by the 1901 Convention the fund did amount to $1,200, and at that time the sponsors of the fund were optimis­tic. One enthusiastic alumnus was anxious that the sum be raised to $50,000, saying that "A fund of this size would be most useful in enabling the Council to help build chapter houses and for a working capital to enlarge and improve the Quarterly."

Sadly, five years later the fund stood at $1,230.61, and three years later at $1,296.65. The Board ofTrus­tees of the Endowment Fund nonetheless continued in office until 1922, when its responsibilities were absorbed by the Board of Directors . The amount of money relinquished by the trustees amounted to just $1,708.44, only a few hundred dollars more than they had held more than 20 years earlier. ...

Chapter Loan Fund Benefits Many Almost two-thirds of all active chapters of the

Fraternity have benefited from the Chapter Loan Fund since it was established in 1955.

With very few exceptions, its loans have been for $20,000 or less, and have always been made in in­stances where the chapter had to turn to the Fund as a lender of last resort. The Chapter Loan Fund has been, literally, a life saver for many chapters which had exhausted their borrowing power with conven­tional lenders, which had gotten as much alumni assistance as was possible, and which still needed perhaps $5,000 to $20,000 to put together a real estate transaction ....

Educational Foundation Established Through the foresight and generosity of Hugh E.

Nesbitt, Ohio State '14, the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation was established in 1949, and since that time has provided educational services and assistance to thousands of undergraduates, and direct financial assistance to a substantial number.

Nesbitt, who was president of Delta Upsilon from 1946 to 1948, made gifts of $32,500 to the Founda­tion, and had planned to increase this substantially over the years. Sadly, he died onJune 8,1953, before

DELTA U:)SILON QUARTERLY· April, 1984

he could implement these plans, and before the Foundation began to grow toward the size that he had envisioned.

The Foundation is a not-for-profit Ohio corpora­tion, and in its early years its trustees were all Ohio residents, though they also represented chapters from outside the state. In later years the board of trustees was enlarged by the election of some presidents and past presidents of the Fraternity, but the Foundation has kept its administration separate and at arm's length from Delta Upsilon.

While Nesbitt was the founder and the motivating spirit of the Foundation, its greatest financial benefac­tor to date has been Clarkson A. Disbrow, New York 1899, whose bequest enriched it by nearly $215,000.

Disbrow had been for many years a trustee of Delta Upsilon, and was interested in improving the schol­arship of the undergraduates, recalling that in his college years Delta Upsilon "was one of the top rank­ing fraternities scholastically among the good national fraternities." His attorney, Emmett W. Poindexter, Washington & Lee '20, who had been for several years chairman of the Fraternity'S scholarship committee, brought to Disbrow's attention a very modest little leaflet that had been published by the Foundation at the behest of Clark Davis. Disbrow was impressed with the aims of the Foundation, and left half of his net estate to it. At one time this would have amounted to comparatively little, since at the time of his retirement his net worth was small. In the 22 years before his death, however, making all his own investment deci­sions, he built the substantial estate from which the Foundation benefitted . . ..

Conventions Change Over the Years With the decline of Fraternity income in the late

'60s, and with the increasing importance of the Lead­ership Conference, Conventions over the past dozen or so years have become much less a social occasion, and much more a down-to-earth full-time learning process for key chapter personnel. .

Alumni who recall Conventions before that time will remember the big dinner dances, the beer busts, and other activities that occupied the evenings and some­times the afternoons of the conclaves. Today's under­graduate delegate finds himself in class literally from morning to night. Sessions begin immediately after all hands are rousted out of bed at an early hour, and continue until late evening. The breaks are minimal. Although undergraduates love to play (as who doesn't?) there is no complaint from them on the lack of frivolity. . ..

With the lessening importance of the Convention, fewer oratorical displays are heard. Many Conven­tions a generation or so ago were noted for the emer­gence of one or more undergraduates who partici­pated most vigorously in debate. The 1960 Conven­tion chairman was moved, on one occasion, to remark, "The chair recognizes the brother from ___ _ chapter, and how well I recognize him." ...

Changes in Membership Proposed

The Chicago chapter, which had long advocated admission of undergraduate women to Fraternity membership (and which had, by a bit of subterfuge, apparently initiated at least two females) brought to the 1972 Convention floor a proposal that would open Fraternity membership to women. The proposition received lengthy debate and was finally lost on a roll call vote of 15 for, 39 against, seven abstentions.

The minutes of the Convention made no mention of the actual question, merely stating, "Brother Strom reported on the activities of the Membership Commit­tee and stated that the Committee did not recommend adoption of the membership proposal which he read." It was left for the Quarterly to report that Chicago had submitted the proposed resolution and that it con­cerned female membership in the Fraternity .. . .

Headquarters Moved to Indianapolis

After more than 85 years of maintaining Fraternity headquarters in a series of mid-town Manhattan office buildings, and one Wall Street location, a major change in the management and direction of Delta Upsilon, as well as its physicallocatioh, occurred when, in March of 1969, the Fraternity offices were moved to Indianapolis. .

The move was not without controversy within the Fraternity, and was made only after intensive study by a broadly-based review committee that had been au­thorized by the 1967 Assembly ....

The location of the offices in New York for all those years had not been without considerable criticism. Chapters outside the East had always grumbled that Delta Upsilon was controlled by a grou p of Easterners who knew nothing of the problems of chapters west of the Allegheny Mountains ....

Position of General Secretary Proposed

Hoping to establish the position of general secretary through alumni contributions, Wilson Fairbanks in 1911 had sent a fund-raising letter to all alumni, saying, "Careful consideration of the problem shows that to put a secretary in the field, paying his salary and traveling and office expenses will cost at least $2,500 per year. A two-years' trial at the outset is essential to secure accomplishment that can be measured."

Fairbanks pointed out that the Fraternity had 39 chapters, of which 37 owned or occupied houses of an estimated value of $350,000 (or almost $10,000 each).

The position was envisaged as what would today be classified as a traveling representative, still it proposed a substantial improvement in field supervision ....

32

Non-Secret Grip Discussed

How far the Fraternity had shifted from its original stern stance on matters of ceremony was evident in 1895 when the Technology delegate brought to the floor a proposal that the Fraternity adopt a non-secret grip, and by the proposal of the DePauw representa­tive that there be a new Fraternity yell. Certainly the first of these smacked of at least some degree of secre­cy, yet it was not voted down, but instead was merely tabled. The matter of a yell was referred to the Coun­cil. . ..

Fraternity Membership and Its Effect on Scholarship Debated

There are those who will argue convincingly that fraternities have little or no effect on the scholastic attainment of the individual member. One of these was Donald R. Buckner, then assistant director of stu­dent affairs for men at the University of Missouri, who reported on an exhaustive study he had made of the incoming freshman class on that campus in 1958. He stated that, "On the average, the first semester schol­arship of freshman students pledging fraternities at the University of Missouri does not differ significantly from those freshmen of similar college scholarship poten­tial who do not pledge a fraternity and who live in University residence halls. This finding indicates that, on the average, pledging a fraternity at the University of Missouri neither aids nor interferes with freshmen student's first semester college achievement regard­less of the level of college scholarship potential pos-sessed by the student." I

Mr. Buckner did find one consistent trend, and that was that a higher percentage of fraternity pledges made a 2.0 grade point average or above, the signifi­cance of this being that the fraternities required a 2.0 grade average as a standard for initiation. This would certainly indicate that the attainment of this average was a motivating factor for the chapter and for the individual.

Fundamentally, he observes, the way for a fraternity to have a strong scholarship record is to pledge men with a strong record in high school. As the twig is bent. .. .

Aside from scholarship statistics, it is a definitely established fact that a higher percentage of fraternity men persist to graduation than is true of non­fraternity men. Thus, if fraternities exercise no delete- ' rious influence on the scholarship of their members, then, on balance, the fraternity system has a positive influence.

The goal for the President's Club for the 1983-'84 year is an ambitious 500 members giving a minimum of $100 to the annual alumni support appeal. These donations are split with the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation with any amount over $50.00 going to the Foundation unless the donors specify otherwise.

Listed below are the 396 donors giving at this level as of February 13, 1984. Subse­quent issues of the Quarterly will carry this list plus additional donors throughout the year.

Gomment on 'Praternity by Wilford A. Butler, CAE

A Firm Foundation In the long-range, strategic

financial planning of Delta Upsilon Fraternity, the expanded role of the Delta . Upsilon Educational Foundation occupies an in­creasingly important position.

The Foundation, established in 1949, by the late Hugh E. Nesbitt, a past president of Delta Upsilon, has grown steadily since its incep­tion.

At present, the Fraternity has identified the Foundation as one of two key projects to receive atten­tion during the Sesquicentennial Year. It is hoped that it will be possible to add significantly, to the endowment funds of the Founda­tion, sufficient new monies to ex­pand the usefulness of the Founda­tion in the future.

In addition, another objective of the current DU Second Century Challenge Fund campaign is to make all alumni aware of the work of the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation and bow they may par­ticipate.

Concurrently, organization is going forward to establish a sepa­rate Canadian Delta Upsilon Edu­cational Foundation, and more de­tails about this project will be made available to the membership as soon as the organization work has been accomplished.

Looking to the future, it is possi­ble to foresee a time when the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation will be an expanded force for good in the world of higher education and the college fraternity.

Additional information about the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation is contained in the Foundation's report, which we will be glad to send to you upon re­quest.

Fraternally yours,

Wilford A. Butler, CAE Executive Director
