INTRODUCTION. 
 
 In 1909 the Beta of Illinois Chapter published a 
 Handbook of seventy- two pages, containing a histori- 
 cal sketch of the fraternity and of the chapter, the 
 Constitution and Laws of Phi Beta Kappa, and a 
 list of members. The present edition has been com- 
 pletely revised. An entirely new historical sketch has 
 been prepared and much additional matter of im- 
 portance regarding the chapter has been included. The 
 lists showing higher degrees and books published re- 
 late to members elected as undergraduates. Although 
 every effort has been made through circularization, 
 personal correspondence, the consultation of the 
 alumni lists and other records of the University, the 
 examination of the list of teachers in the Chicago 
 Public Schools and the use of the Chicago Telephone 
 Directory, quite a number of addresses remain unde- 
 termined as the Handbook goes to press. While these 
 inaccuracies are greatly regretted there seems no way 
 to avoid them without delaying the publication of the 
 much needed volume. 
 
 The cuts of the Phi Beta Kappa Key which are 
 used, were presented to the chapter by John F. New- 
 man, the long-established fraternity jeweler at 11 John 
 St., New York City. This firm is prepared to furnish 
 keys of the standard type at satisfactory prices.

THE PHI BETA KAPPA. 
 
 A Fraternity of Scholars. 
 
 In December days of 1776, a hundred and thirty- 
 eight years ago, the fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa was 
 founded at the ancient college of William and Maiy, 
 the second institution of collegiate rank established in 
 the new world. 
 
 The quaint old record of the first meeting which 
 has come down to us states: 
 
 "On Thursday the 5th of December, in the year of our 
 Lord God one thousand seven hundred and seventy-six, 
 and the first of the Commonwealth, a happy spirit and 
 resolution of attaining the important ends of Society en- 
 tering the minds of John Heath, Thomas Smith, Richard 
 Booker, Armstd Smith and John Jones, and afterward 
 seconded by others, prevailed, and was accordingly rati- 
 fied." 
 
 Investigation has not revealed the source of the idea 
 of the fraternity. There are indications in the lan- 
 guage of the record and in the phraseology of the 
 ceremonials and the rules that its parent was the order 
 of Freemasonry. So much is owed by the American 
 college fraternity system to this ancient society of 
 craftsmen that it requires no great stretch of the imag- 
 ination to accord to it also the credit for the suggestion 
 of the first American Greek Letter college organiza- 
 tion. 
 
 The immediate occasion for the establishment of 
 Phi Beta Kappa is thus described by William Short, 
 a member of the Alpha of Virginia, in a letter to 
 Edward Everett in 1831. 
 
 "There had existed for a long space of time another 
 society at William and Mary. The initials on its medal, 
 P. D. A., were understood to indicate Latin words. There 
 was at the same time at College a youth whose reputation 
 as a Hellenist was so far beyond that of the others, that 
 he valued himself, as I remember well, exclusively on it. 
 The P. D. A. Society had lost all reputation for letters and 
 was noted only for the dissipation and conviviality of its 
 

 8 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 members. Whether they had refused to admit our 
 Hellenist, or he was unwilling to join them, I do not now 
 recollect, but so it was that he determined to get up an- 
 other society in opposition, and in conformity with his 
 own reputation formed and adapted the Greek phrase indi- 
 cated by the initials. Whether it be pure I would not now 
 say. But at that time none of us supposed anything more 
 pure could have been formed in Athens, such was our 
 opinion of the great learning of our founder." 
 
 This founder was John Heath. One of his ideas 
 may be imagined from an early rule: "The least 
 appearance of intoxication or disorder of any single 
 member by liquor, at a session, subjects him to the 
 penalty of ten shillings." 
 
 It is surprising to discover that those connected 
 with the new fraternity had such clear conceptions of 
 its possibilities and such definite ideas regarding its 
 internal organization and general characteristics, 
 things which, in the case of most institutions of the 
 sort, are matters of growth, indeed of slow deve op- 
 ment. There was to be the mystery of secrecy. There 
 was to be an initiation ceremony with its oath of 
 fealty. There was to be a medal for external display. 
 And there was to be expansion into a national fra- 
 ternity. The minutes of December 9, 1779 preface 
 the resolution granting authority for the establish- 
 ment of the Yale chapter with the words, "Whereas 
 the Society is desirous that the Phi Beta Kappa 
 should be extended to each of the United States." 
 
 The record book, describing the medal, states : 
 
 "And for the better establishment and sanctitude of our 
 unanimity, a square silver medal was agreed on and insti- 
 tuted, engraved on the one side with S. P., the initials of 
 
 S P , and on the other, agreeable 
 
 to the former, with the Greek initials of Phi Beta Kappa, 
 and an index imparting a philosophical design, extended 
 to the three stars, a part of the planetary orb, distin- 
 guished." 
 
 This description, in modified heraldic terms, seems 
 also somewhat influenced by the ancient symbolism 
 which attached to the sacred number three of which 
 the philosophical writers of antiquity made much.

 THE ORIGINAL MEDAL. 
 
 At the January meeting of 1777, exactly a month 
 later (and it is worth noting that in the early days 
 of the fraternity meetings were held as frequently as 
 was the case with the other literary societies in col- 
 legiate communities), a mode of initiation was re- 
 ported. 
 
 "And first in corporation, an oath of fidelity being con- 
 sidered as the strongest preservative, an initiation was 
 accordingly resolved upon and instituted as follows: 
 
 I, A. B., do swear on the holy Evangelists of Almighty 
 God, or otherwise, as calling the Supreme Being to attest 
 this my oath, declaring that I will, with all my possible 
 efforts, endeavor to prove true, just, and deeply attached 
 to this our growing fraternity; in keeping, holding, and 
 preserving all secrets that pertain to my duty, and for the 
 promotion and advancement of its internal welfare." 
 
 The March meeting adopted a set of by-laws, sig- 
 nificant in their scope and remarkably suggestive in 
 the light of the history of other similar college organi- 
 zations, which began to come into existence fifty years 
 later. Among other provisions there was one, the 
 first one in fact, which reads, 
 
 "That in every design or attempt, whether great or small, 
 we ought to invoke the Deity." 
 
 Another required that each member after initiation 
 should wear the badge. Membership was limited to 
 collegians over sixteen years of age who were unani- 
 mously elected. Regular meetings were provided for, 
 
10 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 with programme, with method of procedure, with fines 
 for non-attendance and for non-performance of 
 assigned duties. 
 
 At subsequent meetings there were literary exer- 
 cises consisting of declamations on subjects of inter- 
 est, many of them political. The initiation fee, origi- 
 nally six shillings, was raised to five dollars. Fines 
 were common and heavy. For example, on Septem- 
 ber 23, 1780, Joshua Cabell was fined $20.00 for non- 
 attendance on the evening he was appointed to 
 declaim, and, on other occasions, fines of $15.00 each 
 were levied on brothers Swan, Lee, Washington, Madi- 
 son and Nivison, for being absent on evenings when 
 disengaged. 
 
 The social side of fraternity was not neglected, for 
 the meetings often were held in the famous Raleigh 
 tavern where, so the record tells us, "the night was 
 spent in Jollity and Mirth." Tradition places the 
 initial meeting of our fraternity in the Apollo room in 
 this hostelry, where Patrick Henry made one of his 
 fiery pre-Revolutionary speeches. 
 
 On December 10, 1778, the rule which limited mem- 
 bership to collegians was abrogated, presumably under 
 an influence which secured the passage of a resolution 
 on May 4, 1779 providing for the expansion of the fra- 
 ternity. Under this changed condition a young artil- 
 lery captain residing in Williamsburg and taking law 
 lectures at the college, by name John Marshall, was 
 admitted to membership. A form of charter was 
 devised and authority was voted for the establishment 
 of the Beta, Gamma and Delta "meetings" in neigh- 
 boring Virginia towns. No records have ever been 
 found to show that such branches had life, except that 
 the later grants to Harvard and Yale carried with them 
 the names Epsilon and Zeta, Eta and Theta being 
 given to two other Virginia community groups. The 
 word "Chapter" was not used for many years. If the 
 Virginia branches were established, they quickly be- 
 came extinct under the pressure of the Revolutionary 
 war. The reasons for the expansion of Phi Beta 
 Kappa were declared in the charter preamble. 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 11 
 
 "Whereas it is repugnant to the liberal principles of So- 
 cieties that they should be confined to any particular place, 
 men or Description of men, and as the same should be 
 extended to the wise and virtuous of every degree and of 
 whatever Country, &c." 
 
 But, while there was willingness to expand, there 
 was jealous regard for the prime ideas of the fra-. 
 ternity as the record of December 5, 1779 shows: 
 
 "Resolved, That so much of Mr. Parmelie's petition as 
 relates to the establishment of a Phi : society to be con- 
 ducted in a less mysterious manner than the Phi Beta 
 Kappa be not agreed to, as the design appears to be in- 
 compatible with the principles of this meeting." 
 
 The simple form of initiation already described 
 seems to have proved unsatisfactory, for, on February 
 27, 1779, a committee reported the following ritual 
 which was adopted. 
 
 "The person to be initiated, having been properly recom- 
 mended and approved, shall be brought to the door by 
 him who recommended him. Then he shall be met 
 by some other member who shall introduce and seat 
 him on a Chair prepared for the purpose, the whole So- 
 ciety rising from their seats and bowing. The Stranger 
 at the same time having a Paper in his hand which he, 
 after being seated, shall deliver to his guide who shall read 
 
 it as follows : "The address of of 
 
 to the Members of the Phi Beta Kappa. Gentlemen : From 
 a full conviction of the benefit arising from Society in 
 general, and particularly from one which I hope has 
 Friendship for its Basis, Benevolence and Literature for 
 its Pillars, I am induced to accept of the Invitation for an 
 admission into the Phi Beta Kappa, and for the honor 
 confer'd on me by this invitation I return you my most 
 sincere thanks." 
 
 Then the President shall say: 
 
 "Mr. It was in consequence of our good opinion 
 
 of you, that we have admitted you thus far, and we hope 
 you will render yourself still more acceptable by answering 
 in the affirmative to the following questions : 
 
 1. If upon hearing you dislike the principles of this So- 
 ciety and withdraw, do you promise upon the word of a 
 Gentleman to keep them secret? 
 
 2. Is it of your own free choice unbiased by persuasion 
 that you become a member of this Society? 
 
12 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 3. Will you approve yourself a worthy member of it 
 by being a Friend to Morality and Literature? 
 
 4. Will you regard every worthy member of this So- 
 ciety as a Brother? 
 
 5. Will you assist them when in distress with your Life 
 and Fortune?" 
 
 After which the Laws shall be read by the Clerk, and 
 if the Person to be admitted approve them, the Oath shall 
 be administered by the President; then the Medal and 
 sign of the Society shall be explained; and afterward the 
 President shall thus address the newly initiated Member. 
 
 Brother: It is an uncommon pleasure which I feel in 
 being able to address you by this tender appellation; such 
 have been the mutual pleasures ever distributed among 
 the Members of the Phi Beta Kappa. 
 
 This Society was founded by a few friends to social 
 and improving intercourse. At first it was confined to a 
 small number of very worthy Students; they planted the 
 scion, from which has grown this tree, that now buds 
 forth before your eyes, with the blossoms of harmony and 
 concord. It was ingrafted on the stock of friendship, in 
 the soil of virtue, enriched by Literature. To cherish and 
 keep it alive hath been the constant care of those members 
 who have succeeded. 
 
 To which end they have ever kept in view the design of 
 its worthy founders, who adopted this friendly communion 
 as a recreation to the philosophic mind, satiate with in- 
 vestigating the various springs of Human nature and 
 human actions. 
 
 Now then you may for a while disengage yourself from 
 scholastic Laws and communicate without reserve what- 
 ever reflections you have made upon various objects; re- 
 membering that everything transacted within this room is 
 transacted Sub rosa, and detested is he that discloses it. 
 
 Here too you are to indulge in matters of speculation, 
 that freedom of inquiry which ever dispels the clouds of 
 falsehood by the radiant sunshine of truth. Here you are 
 to look for a sincere Friend, and here you are to become 
 the Brother of unalienable Brothers. 
 
 After which the President turning to the members shall 
 thus address them: Gentlemen: You all at this moment 
 experience in yourselves the heart-felt satisfaction which 
 I do at our late valuable acquisition. 
 
 Friendship herself pleased with her success now smiles at 
 this addition to our Fraternity. Let it be our joint care to 
 extend the Friendship which has ever been exercised by this 
 Society to this newly elected Member, that he may thereby 
 become a veteran in her service. Let us consider that this 
 is no longer the stranger whom we have hitherto seen ; he 
 is a Brother, a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, in which 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 13 
 
 character I am inexpressibly happy to introduce to you 
 
 Mr. . 
 
 After this the President shall take him by the hand, 
 with a congratulation, and then the Secretary who shall 
 introduce him to each of the Members separately; all tak- 
 ing care to use the mode of shaking hands peculiar to the 
 Phi Beta Kappa." 
 
 The laws adopted at this meeting were twenty-two 
 in number, only one of which, perhaps, need be given : 
 
 "The youngest member residing in College shall be Ser- 
 geant, whose office is to summon the members when a 
 meeting shall be called." 
 
 On December 4, 1779 the charter to Harvard was 
 voted. It was delivered to Elisha Parmele, a northern 
 student who had sought the milder climate of Vir- 
 ginia because of lung trouble, and was now about to 
 return home, carrying with him authority to found two 
 new branches, a charter for Yale being also given him 
 on December 9th. We are fortunate in having a rec- 
 ord of the individual who caught the idea of national 
 expansion. 
 
 The first grant of a charter, the Beta, was made to 
 Samuel Hardy, who had been a member less than a 
 year. It was for a local Virginia group. The last 
 president of the Alpha chapter, at the time of its dis- 
 banding owing to the Revolutionary excitement, was 
 William Short, afterwards prominent in American 
 diplomatic history. In a letter to Edward Everett, 
 July 8, 1831, Mr. Short said: 
 
 "The origin of the charter to which you allude as es- 
 tablishing your society at Cambridge and to which my 
 name is annexed, proceeded altogether from one of the 
 members (Samuel Hardy) whose name you find sub- 
 scribed. He was a man of a most comorehensive mind, 
 but he was what was termed an irregular student, that is, 
 not entitled to wear the cap and gown, he was not held in 
 estimation by the pedantic and often thick headed cap and 
 gown students. I remember yet my surprise when he 
 communicated to me his plan for extending branches of 
 our society to the different States. It was the first symp- 
 tom of anything coming from him indicative of his mind. 
 He expatiated on the great advantages that would attend 
 
14 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 it In binding together the several States. I happened at 
 that time to be acquainted with a gentleman from the 
 . Eastward who was a private tutor in the family of one of 
 my friends, and as I knew he then contemplated return- 
 ing to his native state, I suggested to Mr. Hardy the pro- 
 priety of bringing forward his plan before the society, so 
 that the charter might be ready to be sent by this gentle- 
 man. It was accordingly done. And if my memory serves 
 me, a charter of the same kind was sent at the same time 
 to New Haven." 
 
 In the grant to Harvard there was this paragraph : 
 
 "That the Governing Rule of your conduct and that of 
 the Society be to further and promote the fundamental 
 principles and maxims of the Phi Beta Kappa to the best 
 of your knowledge; and above all you are to be careful 
 to promote friendship and union among one another, as 
 well as to bring it forth in a Communion with us here; 
 so far as it may be practicable and convenient." 
 
 On Saturday, January 6, 1781, five members of the 
 parent chapter met and decided that, because of the 
 threatened dangers *of the v^ar, the society should dis- 
 band. They placed the records of Phi Beta Kappa 
 in a sealed box, v^hich they put in the hands of the 
 College Stew^ard. They said that they made the depos- 
 it "in sure and certain hope that the Fraternity w^ill 
 one day rise in life everlasting and glory immortal." 
 So ended the Alpha chapter, and had it not been for 
 the tv^o grants to Elisha Parmele, so w^ould have 
 ended the fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa. 
 
 Mr. Parmele went back to his home in Goshen, Con- 
 necticut, where he initiated several young men as a 
 nucleus for the Yale society which was formally 
 established November 13, 1780. The branch at Har- 
 vard was not founded until July, 1781. By agree- 
 ment these two chapters granted a charter to Dart- 
 mouth, which was organized August 20, 1787. These 
 three Alphas, in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New 
 Hampshire, then comprised the Phi Beta Kappa fra- 
 ternity for thirty years. 
 
 It is not the purpose of this sketch to follow out the 
 history of the fraternity. It is, rather, to show how 
 the Phi Beta Kappa was a regular Greek Letter fra- 
 ternity in the usual meaning of that term, how it had

 either in fact or in thought all the paraphernalia of 
 the modern fraternity, and how, for a time at least, 
 while scholarly qualifications were insisted on, it was 
 by no means merely a scholarship fraternity. The 
 materials for such study are found in the interesting 
 1912 catalogue of the Harvard chapter and in the 
 chapter histories published in our extremely creditable 
 fraternity magazine, "The Phi Beta Kappa Key." 
 
 We have seen how the mother chapter held frequent 
 meetings, how it had an initiation ceremony, how it 
 magnified its secrecy, and how, "with Jollity and 
 Mirth" it sometimes enjoyed its feasts in the tavern 
 in the town. 
 
 From Yale we get the statement that the "sign" of 
 the fraternity was a left to right stroking of the chin. 
 The grip was an ordinary hand-clasp without locking 
 of the thumbs, and with a slight pressure on the wrist. 
 The "knock" consisted of three raps, two soft and 
 one loud, in anapaestic rhythm. The "yell" was "Phi 
 ai ai. Phi Beta Kappa." The college bell announced 
 the time of meeting of the fraternity by a rough imi- 
 tation of this cry. The "feed" on informal occasions, 
 at least at Yale appears to have been the humble 
 American peanut. There was a cipher for use in all 
 fraternity correspondence. The archives were kept in 
 a "trunk" or "chest," the prototype of the modern 
 fraternity "strong-box," or, in newer chapter-houses, 
 the safe. Twice at Dartmouth and once at Yale the 
 precious secrets were stolen by inquisitive individuals, 
 in one case at Dartmouth the three culprits being mem- 
 bers of the chapter. There was the external badge, 
 the medal, which, on state occasions, was suspended 
 by the fraternity colors, "pink and sky-blue ribbands." 
 Once a supposed Dartmouth member visited the Har- 
 vard chapter. What happened is indicated by the rec- 
 ord of September 15, 1789. 
 
 "A graduate of Dartmouth was introduced, who pos- 
 sessed a medal similar to those of the Phi Beta Kappa and 
 pretended to be acquainted with the mysteries of the So- 
 ciety. But some members doubting his being in reality 
 a brother, he was requested to explain the medal and to 
 
16 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 disclose the mysteries, which being unable to do, he was 
 dismissed as an impostor. This business employed the 
 Society till late in the evening." 
 
 This stealing of records and this early "third 
 degree" are strikingly suggestive of interfraternity 
 relationships in the colleges a generation ago. 
 
 There were plans for retaining the friendship and 
 interest of the alumni members. There were discus- 
 sions about securing chapter rooms and, later, about 
 the possibility of having regular lodges, the predeces- 
 sors of the modern chapter-houses. There were fra- 
 ternity songs at the banquets, one of them being 
 written and sung by Oliver Wendell Holmes. There 
 were catalogues of the members. There were forms 
 of signature, such as "Yours in our 'growing fra- 
 ternity* " and "Your inalienable brother," these being 
 taken from ritualistic or legal phraseology already 
 mentioned. There was much stress laid upon the im- 
 portance of friendship. There were propositions for 
 a general convention of members. There was pro- 
 vision for the care of needy brothers. There was a 
 plan for a fraternity magazine as early as 1802. Its 
 fruition came on September 10, 1825 when the first 
 number appeared of the "New York Literary Gazette 
 and Phi Beta Kappa Repository," this combination 
 with a standard magazine seeming the wisest solution 
 of the problem. The banquets must have been lively 
 occasions. Records tell of the "splendid repast, with 
 its luxuries of friendship and sociability;" the "rich 
 collation, circulating the social glass free from the 
 sediment of care, and expressing their most cordial 
 wishes for the prosperity of the Phi Beta Kappa and 
 the happiness of its respective members." 
 
 "Having spent a couple of hours in convivial enjoyment; 
 drank several toasts expressive of our warm affection for 
 the society at large and our best wishes for its interests, 
 and having smoaked the calumet of peace and philanthropy, 
 we took an affectionate parting." 
 
 John Quincy Adams mentions some of these ban- 
 quets in his famous diary. They seem to have aroused 
 opposition on the part of certain members. One 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 17 
 
 catches the suggestion of real fraternity in the toast 
 of 1792, "May resident members preserve the pure 
 Attic fire, and non-residents annually indulge in its 
 genial warmth." The ''libations to harmony and joy 
 usual on this celebrated anniversary" were attended 
 by a parting toast from the treasurer, "May each one 
 liberally untie his purse strings to pay the reckoning." 
 In 1806 one disgusted member wrote in his diary, 
 
 "Such was the extravagance exhibited in giving $70 for 
 the theatrical musicians, who were a nuisance, and in pay- 
 ing for 25 dinners which were not eaten, that I now feel 
 resolved never to dine with the society again. Expense 
 to each one was $570." 
 
 In 1801 the committee reported that a good dinner 
 could be secured for $1.00, wine being offered at the 
 following rates, Madeira, $1.00 a bottle; Lisbon and 
 Sherry, 50 cents ; Port, 66 2/3. The offended brother 
 of 1806 had a record of attending every Harvard 
 meeting except in 1808 for forty-six years. 
 
 In 1832 hired musicians were abandoned at Har- 
 vard, and it was voted to try a plan which should 
 make expenses more moderate and within the means 
 of the members of the fraternity, this reform move- 
 ment following the great anti secret society crusade 
 of the Morgan excitement. The plan proposed a per- 
 manent fund, secured by subscription, one-third of the 
 income to be used in paying for the band, one-third 
 for the guests of the society and the other third toward 
 the expenses of the annual banquet. 
 
 In 1838 the objector recorded in his diary, 
 
 "Though I have belonged to the Society forty-seven 
 anniversaries, yet I have dined with them but fourteen 
 times, the last in 1824 with LaFayette. My reason has 
 been that the meeting is far too Bachanalian for my taste." 
 
 Three years later he wrote, 
 
 "For the 16th time I dined with the society, though my 
 judgment and feelings equally revolted at the quantities 
 of wine drunk, among others by clergymen. And of these 
 by one who not long since delivered an eloquent lecture in 
 many places on total abstinence from all which can intoxi- 
 
18 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 cate. So also we had scarcely dined before the room be- 
 came dark and nauseous by tobacco smoke and consequent 
 expectoration which it occasioned. I hope to see a Phi 
 Beta Kappa dinner at which there shall be no unnatural 
 excitement from alcoholic liquors and at the same time a 
 'feast of reason and flow of soul.'" 
 
 The reverend brother rejoiced greatly when in 1847 
 liquor was banished from the annual meeting at Cam- 
 bridge. He is not to be left without noting his com- 
 ments on some of the abstruse addresses delivered 
 before the society. Sometimes he thought his intellect 
 growing weak, until he inquired of others who told him 
 they could not understand the argument either. In 
 one instance he described an oration as "a long night 
 with occasional flashes of lightning." 
 
 Still another fraternity feature was developed in 
 early Phi Beta Kappa. The laws of the mother 
 chapter provided for a unanimous vote for both elec- 
 tion and expulsion. Not many cases of the latter are 
 reported. The Dartmouth chapter had to expel three. 
 One was exposed as a wholesale robber of the college 
 library, and became the first inmate of the new county 
 jail. Another was an alumnus of twenty years' stand- 
 ing who was expelled for gross and habitual intem- 
 perance. The third was declared unworthy, "having 
 by several infamous and overt acts, forfeited all pre- 
 tensions to moral character." The historian of the 
 Dartmouth chapter says of this case: 
 
 "The record is that of John Henry This man 
 
 enjoyed at that day a wide notoriety. He was not a mem- 
 ber of the College, but a bright young Irish adventurer 
 who drifted over to this country, and after a varied ex- 
 perience in the great cities and as a captain in the army, 
 settled down as a farmer and an editor at Windsor, Ver- 
 mont, and in 1806 was admitted a member of our Society. 
 In 1809 he performed the office of a secret agent of the 
 British, and being neglected by them, sold for a large sum 
 to President Madison a copy of his correspondence, tend- 
 ing to compromise not only the British government but 
 the Federal party in New England. For which of these 
 treacheries the Society condemned him the record does 
 not disclose."

 At the same time it is easy to imagine the satisfac- 
 tion of the Federalists of Phi Beta Kappa, when, on 
 June 4, 1812, they expelled him by the unanimous vote 
 of the annual meeting of the chapter. 
 
 One is tempted here to make a digression to con- 
 sider other relationships between Phi Beta Kappa and 
 the history of our country. In the initial record at 
 Williamsburg, the year 1776 is accompanied by the 
 suggestive words **and the first of the Common- 
 wealth," indicative of the recent change of the Old 
 Dominion from colony to commonwealth following the 
 Declaration of Independence. The first topic assigned 
 for discussion in the Harvard chapter in 1781 was, 
 "Whether Benedict Arnold can be considered as a 
 traitor?" this subject being selected, singularly enough, 
 just about the time when Arnold's landing in Virginia 
 with British and Tories so frightened the brothers at 
 Williamsburg that they sealed up the papers of the 
 mother Alpha and closed the record of the fraternity. 
 
 In 1790 students at what is now Brown University 
 applied for a charter of the fraternity. The Harvard 
 chapter refused the favor, basing its objections on the 
 low standards of the Providence institution and the 
 importance of keeping the dignity of Phi Beta Kappa 
 unimpaired. The historian of the Brown chapter, 
 which was established in 1829 with the hearty approval 
 of Harvard, states; 
 
 "It is not improbable that the inherited antipathy to the 
 colony founded by Roger Williams and his associates, all 
 of whom were men despised and rejected of Massachu- 
 setts, may have largely influenced this action of the Har- 
 vard chapter. No objection had been made to the grant- 
 ing of a charter to Dartmouth, whose standards were cer- 
 tainly no higher than were those of Rhode Island College." 
 
 The excitement of the years 1798-1799, when the 
 quasi war with France, the Alien and Sedition Acts, 
 the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, and the 
 Jacobin Clubs stirred the people, is reflected in a dis- 
 cussion at Cambridge of a suggestion from New 
 Haven that the Phi Beta Kappa should be abolished 
 because of the "suspicion to which all secret societies 
 
20 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 are liable in the present dangerous and critical situ- 
 ation of the country." At Cambridge, at the annual 
 meeting of 1798, the record states that the "public 
 exercises were closed with the celebrated song, 'Adams 
 and Liberty' sung in the true Federal stile.'' This was 
 a song of nine stanzas, written by Robert Treat Paine 
 and extremely popular. Its style is suggested by the 
 first stanza: 
 
 "Ye sons of Columbia, who bravely have fought 
 
 For those rights which, unstained, from your Sires had 
 descended. 
 May you long taste the blessings your valour has bought, 
 And your sons reap the soil which your fathers de- 
 fended. 
 Mid the reign of mild peace 
 May your nation increase. 
 With the glory of Rome, 
 And the wisdom of Greece, 
 And ne'er may the sons of Columbia be slaves. 
 While the earth bears a plant, or the sea rolls its waves." 
 
 The music was that of "To Anacreon in Heaven" 
 now everywhere familiar as "The Star Spangled Ban- 
 ner," with words written by Francis Scott Key. 
 
 Of course the most important political influence was 
 that exerted by the episode of William Morgan and the 
 anti-Masonic excitement. A member of Phi Beta 
 Kappa, Mr. Avery AUyn published in Boston in 1831 a 
 volume entitled, 
 
 "Ritual of Freemasonry, to which is added a key to the 
 Phi Beta Kappa, the Orange and Odd Fellows societies, 
 with notes." 
 
 The part containing the "Key to Phi Beta Kappa" 
 was quoted in an article by Hon. John DeWitt War- 
 ner published in the "D. K. E. Quarterly" of October, 
 1886. One paragraph has interest in showing the seri- 
 ous danger attending the hapless student who may 
 think of following philosophy as the guide of life : 
 
 "Philosophy has been the watchword of infidels in every 
 age, and by its learned and enchanting sound many un- 
 wary youths have been led to reject the only sure guide to 
 heaven." 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 21 
 
 Mr. AUyn attacked the fraternity as being of foreign 
 origin. Like others he had in mind the "Order of the 
 Illuminati," a society whose name seems to have 
 struck terror to the heart of many an American of the 
 early days. He disclosed the motto and its meaning 
 and helped to stir up a lively agitation for the removal 
 of the ban of secrecy from the fraternity. It has been 
 noted that Elisha Parmele's request that he be allowed 
 to establish the two New England chapters with less 
 of mystery than that which attended the mother society 
 was refused. In 1789 the Harvard chapter voted that 
 "because several persons not members of the society 
 have endeavored to discover the manner of salutation 
 peculiar to the Phi Beta Kappa: this manner be sus- 
 pended until the next anniversary." The chapter at 
 Dartmouth seems to have been rather opposed to 
 secrecy for a long time. It abolished this feature of 
 the fraternity in 1826. The struggle at Harvard came 
 between July and September, 1831. Phi Beta Kappa 
 was attacked on the ground of its being a secret society 
 binding its members by an oath not to disclose its 
 secrets. The president of the chapter, Edward Ever- 
 ett, wrote to Mr. Justice Story a letter which contained 
 the following sentences : • 
 
 "Several friends with whom I have conversed think it 
 expedient wholly to drop the affectation of secrecy and 
 all its incidents. A change of the present name would 
 naturally, but not necessarily, follow. One gentleman 
 thinks the society useless and that it would be best to 
 abolish it altogether, and I should be of this opinion, un- 
 less such a liberal change can be made in the terms of ad- 
 mission as to make it a comprehensive fraternity of the 
 children and friends of the college: on any other footing 
 it can do the college little or no good." 
 
 Several special meetings were held. The two lines 
 of attack were on the secrecy and the oath and on the 
 requirement of a unanimous vote for the admission 
 of members. Among those advocating the changes 
 were John Quincy Adams, Edward Everett and Mr. 
 Justice Story. It was finally decided to provide for an 
 election by three- fourths vote. It was also decided, 
 "No oath or form of secrecy shall be required of any 
 
tl PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 member of the society and all injunction of secrecy 
 heretofore imposed by this branch of the Phi Beta 
 Kappa Society shall be removed." 
 
 It is interesting to note that at the annual meet- 
 ing held on September 1st of 1831 the proposition to 
 elect members by a three-fourths majority was 
 repealed and while a committee was appointed to con- 
 sider the subject and report at the next meeting, there 
 is no record that any such report was ever made. 
 
 The Yale Chapter also was persuaded to abolish 
 secrecy. A contemporary Yale man says : 
 
 "In those days freemasonry and anti-masonry fought 
 their battles; and a grave question of conscience arose 
 about the promise of secrecy exacted on initiation into the 
 Phi Beta Kappa Society. Harvard was for resolving the 
 secrecy and it sent Edward Everett to the private meeting 
 at Yale to advocate the cause. He used a tender tone, 
 stood half-drooping as he spoke and touchingly set forth, 
 that the students at Harvard had such conscientious 
 scruples as to keep them from taking the vow of secrecy 
 and the society Hfe was thus endangered. There was stout 
 opposition but the motion prevailed and the rhissionary 
 returned to gladden the tender consciences of the Harvard 
 boys. The secret was out. The world did not stare at 
 the discovery; and when a few years had passed the so- 
 ciety went back to secrecy and revived its grip." 
 
 In 1839 the Harvard chapter voted, 
 
 "That the ceremony of initiation, having been rendered 
 superfluous by the change in the organization of the society 
 in 1825, be hereafter laid aside." 
 
 As the records are missing for that year, the change 
 made in 1825 is not clear, but in 1840 the need of 
 some sort of ceremonial led to the adoption of a plan 
 whereby "a brief history of the Society, an account 
 of its principles and an explanation of its signs" made 
 a form of initiation. Another attendant of this dis- 
 cussion of the place of Phi Beta Kappa was a con- 
 sideration at Harvard of the general subject of a less 
 restricted membership. On August 28th, 1834, the 
 "immediate members," that being a term used for 
 undergraduates, asked the society whether they were 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 23 
 
 obliged to nominate, before others, those who accord- 
 ing to the system of the college were the first sixteen, 
 or should themselves individually judge who were the 
 best qualified as scholars and otherwise. 
 
 The society voted that scholarship with a generally 
 good character should be ground of election into Phi 
 Beta Kappa Society, that the decision of the rank of 
 each individual should be left with the immediate 
 members who are to form their own opinion, but that 
 it be recommended to them that the government scale 
 of rank should be an important element in the forma- 
 tion of that opinion. It also resolved that the number 
 of sixteen from each class should not be exceeded 
 because it was a number fixed by long usage. 
 
 It is likely that this expression of 1834 was the first 
 action of the fraternity specifying scholarship as an 
 essential element of membership. 
 
 Exception may be taken to this statement. As the 
 records are read, one is impressed with the fact that 
 at William and Mary and at Dartmouth ability to 
 declaim and debate was the criterion, although schol- 
 arship may have been considered in connection there- 
 with. No conclusion can be drawn from the fact that 
 at the annual meeting of the chapter there was a public 
 oration and poem, nor can any argument be made from 
 the literary exercises which each chapter held. The 
 literary societies which flourished in all American col- 
 leges followed exactly the same custom. The Greek 
 letter fraternities which began to develop after 1825, 
 invited their friends to public meetings of exactly the 
 same character. In many of them the private meet- 
 ings partook largely of the nature of a literary society 
 assembly. In some instances this character still 
 remains and in many others it was not abandoned until 
 in comparatively recent years. 
 
 The impression is strong therefore that the period 
 of anti-masonic and anti-secret agitation in the early 
 30's was an epoch making one for Phi Beta Kappa. 
 Edward Everett Hale in an Atlantic Monthly article 
 on Phi Beta Kappa states : 
 
24 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 "All unconsciously, to the immediate members of the 
 fraternity at that time, a broadening of views and pur- 
 poses now took place that in due time brought Phi Beta 
 Kappa from the limited range of an ordinary Greek letter 
 fraternity into the larger ambition of a union of scholars." 
 
 In other words, at that time Phi Beta Kappa ceased 
 to be a Greek letter fraternity of the type now familiar 
 in our colleges and became thereafter known principal- 
 ly as a fraternity of scholars. It seems entirely likely 
 that if this agitation had not developed with the re- 
 sults already indicated Phi Beta Kappa would remain 
 today a Greek letter fraternity of the standard type, 
 having of course the great advantage of a half century 
 of existence previous to the time when Kappa Alpha 
 was established at Union College as the pioneer in the 
 modern college fraternity field. 
 
 From this period of storm and stress interest in 
 Phi Beta Kappa was greatly diminished. The charm 
 of secrecy and the halo of mystery were gone. "Stu- 
 dent activities" increased in number and in attractive- 
 ness. Even as early as 1819 they had affected Phi 
 Beta Kappa, a minute of that year at Harvard noting, 
 
 "Since literary exercises have been dispensed with, which 
 may be traced to the late surprising multiplication of lec- 
 tures and so forth." 
 
 Strong literary societies and college publications of 
 varied type made their demands on the literary talent 
 of the institutions. There was added also the difficulty 
 of arranging a time for Phi Beta Kappa celebrations at 
 commencement without conflicting with meetings of 
 alumni associations. 
 
 It is true that in 1817 a fourth chapter was granted, 
 this time to Union College, but it was eight years later 
 before another one was granted, to Bowdoin. After 
 five years Brown was favored. Then there was a 
 period of fifteen years when but two more chapters 
 were established. Extension at this time and up to 
 1883 was administered in a peculiar way. The ancient 
 Harvard charter contained a provision which gave, 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 25 
 
 "the privileges of the meeting Alpha in Virginia in grant- 
 ing charters for the establishment of other meetings any- 
 where within the State of Massachusetts Bay, which meet- 
 ings are to stand in the same relation to you that the 
 junior branches of this society stand to the meeting Alpha 
 here." 
 
 Under this plan the Alpha chapter in each state had 
 power to grant charters to institutions in that state. 
 This fact explains the varying number of stars form- 
 erly found on the Keys, a star being added for each 
 new chapter in the state. So the Alpha of New York, 
 at Union, founded chapters at New York University 
 (1858), College of the City of New York (1867), 
 Columbia (1869), Hamilton (1870), Hobart (1871), 
 Colgate (1878), and Cornell (1882). The Alpha of 
 Connecticut, at Yale, established the fraternity at 
 Trinity (1845) and Wesleyan (1845). The Alpha of 
 Massachusetts, at Harvard, chartered Amherst (1853) 
 and Williams (1867). The existing Alpha chapters 
 established the Alpha of Vermont, at the University 
 of Vermont, in 1848, and it chartered Middlebury 
 (1868). The Alpha of Ohio, founded at Western 
 Reserve in 1848, established the Kenyon (1858) and 
 Marietta (1860) chapters. The Alpha of Alabama 
 was granted in 1851 to the University of Alabama. An 
 Alpha of New Jersey was chartered at Rutgers in 
 1869. And so, by slow growth, Phi Beta Kappa in 
 1881, had chartered only twenty-three chapters. The 
 fraternity had very little real life, the public exercises 
 at commencement time being about the only outward 
 evidence of activity. But there is much significance 
 in the statement by Edward Everett Hale in his 
 "Fossil from the Tertiary" article in the Atlantic 
 Monthly, already quoted : 
 
 "For nearly half a century Phi Beta Kappa was the only 
 society in America that could pretend to be devoted to 
 literature and philosophy, and it happened therefore that 
 in the infant literature of the nation some noteworthy 
 steps are marked by orations and poems delivered before 
 the Phi Beta Kappa." 
 
 The amount and character of this literature is now 
 being indicated by a comprehensive "Bibliography of 
 
26 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 Phi Beta Kappa," which a Senator of the United 
 Chapters, Professor Clark S. Northup, of Cornell Uni- 
 versity, is working out in a series of articles in the 
 "Phi Beta Kappa Key." It was the richness and im- 
 portance of this contribution of the fraternity to 
 American letters, both formerly and now, which led 
 to the plan of publication of a volume of "Repre- 
 sentative Phi Beta Kappa Orations." As specific illus- 
 trations of this literature the following orations may be 
 mentioned.

 Another significant feature of Phi Beta Kappa, 
 through all its history, has been the high character of 
 its membership. Writing of the founders of the frar 
 ternity another Senator, the distinguished Secretary 
 of the United Chapters, Rev. Oscar M. Voorhees, 
 says: 
 
 "The men who made Phi Beta Kappa are as worthy 
 of study as the organization itself, for they immedi- 
 ately began to distinguish themselves in the public life 
 of their time. More than one-fourth of them served 
 in the patriot army, and nearly one-third of them be- 
 came members of the Virginia legislature. There 
 were enough of them in the convention of 1788, which 
 ratified the Constitution of the United States on the 
 part of Virginia, to hold the balance of power and 
 to determine the issue for ratification. From their 
 number men were chosen to the Continental Congress 
 and the Congress of the United States. One was clerk 
 of the House of Representatives from its organization, 
 and also Librarian of Congress. Two were esteemed 
 judges of the highest court of Virginia; for a time 
 two were United States Senators, one representing 
 his native state and the other Kentucky, and for many 
 years two others sat side by side as members of the 
 Supreme Court of the United States, one of these 
 being John Marshall, the Chief Justice. Thus, from 
 the first. Phi Beta Kappa has been noted for its dis- 
 tinguished members." 
 
 At the close of the college year of 1914 (June 30) 
 the living membership of the fraternity included 27,- 
 645 names, of which 6,613 were those of women. In 
 this list are to be found the names of many of the 
 most eminent of present-day Americans. In his speech 
 at the annual banquet of the Yale Chapter, held March 
 18, 1907, William H. Taft, then Secretary of War, 
 
28 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 said that three- fourths of the distinguished graduates 
 of Yale or any other University having a chapter 
 would be found to have been Phi Beta Kappa men in 
 college, though the society embraces scarcely one- 
 tenth of each class. If the long roll of members since 
 1776 is examined such notable names among the dead 
 appear as those of John Quincy Adams, Charles 
 Francis Adams, Chester A. Arthur, Jacob Abbott, 
 George Bancroft, William Cullen Bryant, Phillips 
 Brooks, Rufus Choate, James D. Dana, Jeremiah Day, 
 Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edward Everett, James A. 
 Garfield, Albert Harkness, William Rainey Harper, 
 Nathaniel Hawthorne, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Adon- 
 iram Judson, John Larkin Lincoln, Elias Loomis, 
 James Russell Lowell, Henry W. Longfellow, Horace 
 Mann, John Marshall, William Walter Phelps, Wil- 
 liam H. Prescott, Franklin Pierce, Noah Porter, Eze- 
 kiel Gilman Robinson, Charles Sumner, William Gra- 
 ham Sumner, Francis Wayland, William Dwight 
 Whitney and Theodore Dwight Woolsey. 
 
 In another particular Phi Beta Kappa deserves 
 special distinction. The records of the Harvard chap- 
 ter, under the date of June 28, 1877, read : 
 
 "A communication was read from the Corresponding 
 Secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha of Vermont, stat- 
 ing that whereas young women were now admitted to the 
 University of Vermont on the same terms as young men; 
 it has been resolved by that chapter that "all graduates of 
 the University should be eligible to membership in the Phi 
 Beta Kappa without distinction of sex." No action was 
 taken on this communication." 
 
 The development of this feature of the fraternity is 
 described by Secretary Voorhees in his article, "Phi 
 Beta Kappa, Past and Present:" 
 
 "In this respect Phi Beta Kappa is absolutely unique 
 among Greek-letter fraternities. It was not of set pur- 
 pose that the society thus broadened its ideas respect- 
 ing membership. It is true that the original charters 
 contained the bold statements that "it is repugnant to 
 the liberal principles of societies that they should be 
 confined to any place, men, or description of men, and 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 29 
 
 as the same should be extended to the wise and vir- 
 tuous of every degree and every country;" — but it is 
 scarcely possible that the founders imagined that 
 women would sometimes be included among the "wise 
 and virtuous'' to whom membership should be 
 extended. However, as scholarship came to be the 
 chief requisite, and as the privilege of pursuing full 
 collegiate courses was granted to women, it was only 
 a matter of time when their eligibility should be recog- 
 nized, and they be admitted as a matter of right, not 
 of concession. The problem was first faced by the 
 Alpha chapter of Vermont at the University when, in 
 1875, two women attained the honor grade. As at 
 the first appearance of woman it required a deep sleep 
 on the part of man to prepare him to receive his help- 
 mate, so the Vermont chapter slept over the proposi- 
 tion, and the next day accorded the women the welcome 
 to which they were rightfully entitled. The issue once 
 decided, other chapters had less difficulty in adapting 
 their practice to the changed conditions. In the Cor- 
 nell chapter, which was organized in 1883, no restric- 
 tions as to sex have ever prevailed. As co-education 
 has become established in some Eastern and practically 
 all Western institutions, a large proportion of the 
 chapters now admit women. Chapters also exist in six 
 colleges for women, Vassar being the first of the class 
 to win the coveted honor. Her charter was granted in 
 1889. Two women are now Senators of the United 
 Chapters. Phi Beta Kappa has eliminated all fortui- 
 tous distinctions, such as race, color, creed, and sex, 
 and selects its members primarily on the basis of schol- 
 arship. It is essentially democratic, while constantly 
 recognizing the aristocracy of intellectual acquire- 
 ments. It thus enjoys the proud distinction of being, 
 among American educational institutions, the chief 
 "conserver and rewarder of scholastic attainments." 
 
 The new Phi Beta Kappa dates from 1881, and to 
 the Alpha of Massachusetts belongs the honor of hav- 
 ing proposed a closer union of the various chapters 
 of Phi Beta Kappa by inviting them to send delegates 
 to its one-hundredth anniversary and to a fraternity 
 
30 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 convention in connection therewith. A majority of 
 the twenty-three chapters responded, and the organi- 
 zation of the United Chapters was the ultimate result. 
 This convention was held in Cambridge, June 30, 1881. 
 Before the organization was completed, two additional 
 meetings were held in New York City, on October 18, 
 1881, and September 6 and 7, 1882, respectively. At 
 the latter meeting a constitution was adopted and sent 
 to the chapters for ratification. Being duly ratified, 
 according to its provisions the first National Council 
 was called, and met in Saratoga, N. Y., September 5, 
 1883. Thirteen chapters were represented. Since that 
 date all the existing chapters have ratified the Constitu- 
 tion, the Alpha of Virginia and the Alpha of Alabama 
 have been revived, and have joined the organization, 
 and sixty-one charters have been granted and chapters 
 instituted, making eighty-six chapters in all. The roll

 The badge of the fraternity consists of a gold watch 
 key engraved on one side with the Greek initials of 
 the name, and a hand pointing to a cluster of three 
 stars. On the other side are the Latin initials "S. P." 
 the date of founding of the original chapter, and the 
 name, college, and class of the owner. The Greek 
 letters stand for the motto of the society, Philosophia 
 Biou Kubernetes, usually translated "Philosophy the 
 guide of Life." The meaning of "S. P." was long 
 variously interpreted as Societas Philosophiae, Socie- 
 tas Philosophica, Societatis Particeps, Societatum 
 Princeps, Societas Philosophorum, Signum Principium, 
 Salus Patriae, Scientia et Prudentia, Scientia et Phil- 
 osophia. The original records indicate that these let- 
 ters represented an alternative name of the Society.

 Dear Mr. Shepardson: 
 
 The words "S.P." on the Phi Beta Kappa badge mean 
 either "Societas Philosophica or Societas Philosophiae. So 
 far as the original manuscript goes, there is nothing which 
 will enable one to decide between the two forms. I was 
 disposed to accept the first but I am informed that the tradi- 
 tions of the William and Mary Chapter are in favor of the 
 second, and, in the absence of definite evidence, I think that 
 this tradition should control. 
 
 Very truly yours, 
 
 E. A. Birge. 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 35 
 
 proved that one of the first two interpretations given 
 above is the correct wording, preference being given to 
 the first because of the traditions of the mother chap- 
 ter at William and Mary College. 
 
 The National Council of the fraternity has held 
 eleven meetings since the establishment of the United 
 Chapters, that of 1907 at Williamsburg, Virginia, those 
 of 1910 and 1913 in New York city, and all the rest 
 at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., as follows: 
 
 1— September 5, 1883; 2— September 1, 1886; 3— 
 September 4, 1889; 4— September 7, 1892; 5— Sep- 
 tember 11, 1895 ; 6— September 7, 1898; 7— September 
 12, 1901; 8— September 7, 1904; 9— September 12, 
 1907; 10— September 14, 1910; 11— September 9, 
 1913. 
 
 Since 1883, then. Phi Beta Kappa has been active 
 and energetic. It now has eighty-six chapters well 
 scattered throughout the United States. It has an 
 effective organization. It publishes an attractive maga- 
 zine. The Phi Beta Kappa Key, now in its second 
 volume. Twelve numbers are issued during the trien- 
 nium between the meetings of its National Council. 
 Its officers are aggressive and earnest, and after all 
 these years, it bids fair to realize the ambitions of the 
 far-sighted men at old William and Mary who pro- 
 claimed one hundred and thirty-five years ago their 
 desire to make it a national fraternity. The influence 
 of the new organization has been felt all over the 
 country in the revival of long dormant branches, in 
 the quickening of the living chapters, and in the eager- 
 ness with which institutions not now represented seek 
 a place on its roster.

 My dear Prof. Grosvenor; 
 
 Miss Laura Lockwood of Wellesley Colleges gives me your 
 name as authority for calling the hymn beginning "O God be- 
 neath Thy guiding hand" the Phi Beta Kappa hymn. I 
 opened a correspondence with her because of the reference 
 in Mr. Voorhees' circular about the society using the Phi 
 
36 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 Beta Kappa hymn. Her reply, that this hytnn dedicated to 
 the New England Colonists and as it seems to me absolutely 
 irrelevant to Phi Beta Kappa is the Phi Beta Kappa hymn, 
 surprised me. As I am about to print a little catalogue of 
 Phi Beta Kappa at the University of Chicago I desire to use 
 the hymn if its Phi Beta Kappa connection is established. 
 I shall be glad to have a letter from you regarding it. 
 
 Will you please let me know the circumstances under which 
 this became the society's hymn? 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 Francis W. Shepardson.

 Mr. Francis W. Shepardson, 
 
 Chicago, 111. 
 My dear Mr. Shepardson: 
 
 I beg to acknowledge receipt of your valued letter of April 
 27, regarding the Phi Beta Kappa hymn. 
 
 The hymn, I think, was first sung on Forefathers* Day in 
 1838, not however in any connection with a college or fra- 
 ternity but specifically in commemoration of the Plymouth 
 colonists. It soon seems to have found favor at public func- 
 tions of Phi Beta Kappa chapters and in more recent years 
 has been very frequently sung at installation of new chapters. 
 I imagine it has been sung more often on such occasions than 
 all other hymns. It was not written for Phi Beta Kappa, is 
 not peculiarly adapted to Phi Beta Kappa and holds its place 
 in Phi Beta Kappa regard only on the ground that any other 
 hymn with which I am acquainted is even less adapted to 
 Phi Beta Kappa purposes. Never officially adopted by the 
 society, the most that can be said of it in my opinion is, as 
 I think I said at Wellesley, "This hymn has been sung so 
 often at Phi Beta Kappa celebrations that it may be called 
 the Phi Beta Kappa hymn." But I wish someone of the fra- 
 ternity's many poets would give us a hymn ab origine our 
 own. 
 
 Yours sincerely, 
 
 Edwin A. Grosvenor.

CONSTITUTION. 
 
 ARTICLE L 
 
 COMPOSITION OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL. 
 
 The National Council of the Phi Beta Kappa So- 
 ciety shall consist of the Senators hereinafter spoken 
 of, and of delegates from the several Chapters of the 
 Society. Each Chapter shall be entitled to send three 
 delegates, who shall be graduates of at least five years' 
 standing and members of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, 
 but not necessarily of the Chapter by which they are 
 chosen. 
 
 ARTICLE II. 
 
 THE SENATE. 
 
 The Senate shall originally consist of twenty Sena- 
 tors, chosen by the delegates at the first session of the 
 National Council, from the Society at large. These 
 shall be divided into two classes, whose terms of office 
 shall expire at the adjournment of alternate regular 
 sessions of the National Council. At every subse- 
 quent regular session the places of the outgoing class 
 shall be filled by election as follows : On the day pre- 
 ceding the first day of each regular session of the 
 National Council, the Senate shall meet, and shall nom- 
 inate fifteen candidates in addition to the members of 
 the outgoing class for the ten vacant seats, and also 
 two candidates for the unexpired terms of each Sena- 
 tor who may have died or resigned since the last regu- 
 lar session. Other persons not nominated by the 
 Senate may be presented as candidates at the time of 
 the election. Of every ten members whose term of 
 office shall expire, one may be elected by the Council 
 Senator for life. In every election of Senators a ma- 
 jority of the votes cast shall be required to elect, and 
 in such elections the outgoing Senators shall have no 
 vote. The Senate may fill vacancies in its own body 
 till the next meeting of the National Council. 
 ARTICLE III. 
 
 OFFICERS OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL. 
 
 The officers of the National Council shall be a Presi- 
 dent, a Vice-President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer,

 and such others as may be found necessary from time 
 to time. The President shall be chosen from among 
 the Senators. 
 
 ARTICLE IV. 
 
 SESSIONS AND FUNCTIONS OF THE COUNCIL. 
 
 The National Council shall meet every third year 
 at such place and time as shall have been determined 
 by the officers of the United Chapters, and shall pro- 
 ceed at once to the election first of its officers and next 
 of the Senators. The National Council shall make 
 such rules as may be found necessary for the carry- 
 ing out of any provision of this Constitution. 
 
 ARTICLE V. 
 
 THE SENATE AND ITS FUNCTIONS. 
 
 During the sessions of the National Council the 
 Senate shall have no separate existence, but its mem- 
 bers shall take their places with the delegates as 
 members of the National Council, voting with the 
 delegates, as well upon all other matters as upon the 
 election of Officers and Senators, except as provided 
 in Article II. When the National Council is not in 
 session the Senate shall constitute an independent 
 body, charged with the duty of representing the Phi 
 Beta Kappa Society and speaking in its name, and 
 exercising, in addition, the functions of a permanent 
 Executive Committee of the National Council. It 
 shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it 
 shall determine, being first called together by that 
 Senator, who, at the original election of the Senate, 
 shall have been elected by the largest number of votes. 
 It shall recommend candidates for election as Senators. 
 It shall also have power to call an extra session of the 
 National Council. It shall furthermore prepare and 
 recommend to the consideration of the National Coun- 
 cil such matters as it may deem proper. It shall trans- 
 mit its lists of candidates and of matters recommended 
 for discussion, by the hand of the Secretary, to the 
 presiding Officer of the National Council, immediately 
 upon its organization being completed. It shall also 
 transmit, in the same manner, to the National Council 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 47 
 
 a report of its doings between the sessions of the 
 Council. Nothing herein shall be so construed as to 
 derogate from the right of the National Council to 
 appoint Committees to sit between sessions, independ- 
 ently of the Senate, and to report at the next session. 
 ARTICLE VI. 
 
 NEW CHARTERS. 
 
 Applications for charters shall, in all cases, be made 
 to the Senate, at least six months before the regular 
 session of the National Council; the Senate shall at 
 once notify all the Chapters of such applications, and 
 such applications shall be reported to the National 
 Council with the recommendation of the Senate at 
 the next meeting of the Council, and shall be passed 
 upon by the Council, which shall have exclusive power 
 to grant charters. But no charters shall be issued 
 without the consent of delegations representing a ma- 
 jority of the chapters. 
 
 ARTICLE VII. 
 
 BY-LAWS AND RULES OF ORDER. 
 
 The National Council at any of its sessions, and the 
 Senate at any time, may respectively make such By- 
 Laws and Rules of Order as may be thought expedient 
 for their use, provided the same be not inconsistent 
 with any of the provisions of this Constitution. A 
 quorum of the National Council shall consist of dele- 
 gates from a majority of the chapters and not fewer 
 than three Senators; the Senate shall determine the 
 number which shall constitute its quorum. (The 
 present number is five.) 
 
 ARTICLE VIII. 
 
 RIGHTS OF CHAPTERS.

 No change shall be made in this Constitution unless 
 the same shall have been proposed at the session of

 rence of the delegations of two- thirds of the Chapters 
 represented in the Council.

THE FOUNDING OF THE BETA OF ILLINOIS 
 CHAPTER. 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 The preliminary correspondence regarding the es- 
 tabUshment of the Beta of lUinois Chapter of Phi Beta 
 Kappa was conducted by Dean Harry Pratt Judson, a 
 member of the WilHams Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, 
 with E. B. Parsons, of Williamstown, Mass., who was 
 secretary of the United Chapters. His letter of Janu- 
 ary 6, 1905, reproduced below, indicates that the com- 
 munications from Dean Judson may not have been 
 preserved. Correspondence with Rev. Oscar M. Voor- 
 hees, who succeeded Mr. Parsons as secretary of the 
 United Chapters, indicates that these letters were not 
 included among the papers turned over to him by his 
 predecessor. Inquiries at the Library of Williams 
 College, which was made the depositary of certain of 
 the papers of Mr. Parsons, have yielded no results. 
 For the purpose of history, however, the letters of 
 Secretary Parsons are reproduced. 
 
 Office of the Secretary 
 United Chapters Phi Beta Kappa. 
 
 Williamstown, Mass., 
 Jan. 3, 1897. 
 Dear friend Judson: 
 
 The last Phi Beta Kappa Council was Sept., 1895, the next 
 left to the officers, will probably be Sept. 1898. By same mail 
 I send you my report. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 E. B. Parsons, Sec. 
 
 Williamstown, Mass., 
 June 12, 1897. 
 Dear friend Judson: 
 
 I will gladly present the request of the University of Chi- 
 cago for endorsement Phi Beta Kappa at our meeting next 
 commencement week. No doubt it will be given readily and 
 heartily. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 E. B. Parsons, 
 
52 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 Sec. Gamma Chapter, (Mass.) 
 Williamstown, Mass., 
 June 23, 1897. 
 The application of the University of Chicago for a chapter 
 of Phi Beta Kappa was today endorsed by the unanimous 
 vote of the Gamma (Mass.) Chapter at Williams College. 
 Attest : 
 
 E. B. Parsons^ Sec. Gamma Chapter. 
 
 Williamstown, Mass., 
 Jan. 20, 1898. 
 Dear friend Judson : 
 
 The Senate of Phi Beta Kappa (committee to prepare busi- 
 ness for the National Council) will meet with Bishop Potter 
 on March 2, 1898. 
 
 All applications for new chapters must be in hand at that 
 time. 
 
 Can we not have a request from the President and some 
 of the faculty of the Chicago University? 
 
 We expect to put Princeton and Wisconsin "through the 
 mill" at that time and so you will have good company. 
 We are in the midst of a busy and prosperous year. 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons, Sec. 
 A little Phi Beta Kappa pamphlet under another cover. 
 
 Williamstown, Mass., 
 Jan. 24, 1898. 
 Dear friend Judson: 
 
 A simple request for a charter of Phi Beta Kappa signed 
 by yourself and as many of the Faculty as you can conven- 
 iently secure, and the approval of the President, will be all 
 that is necessary. 
 
 No other endorsement is necessary. 
 
 You know probably that Northrup, Cutting and Tolman are 
 members of our chapter. 
 
 While no other endorsement is necessary, yet I wish the 
 Rochester men would ask that chapter for endorsement. Next 
 June will be time enough for that. 
 
 What I want now is a simple request for a charter signed 
 by six or eight of your men, and approved by the President. 
 There will be no difficulty in the matter. 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons. 
 
 Williamstown, Feb. 25, 1898. 
 Dear friend Judson : 
 
 The application Phi Beta Kappa was duly received and it 
 will give me pleasure to present it. 
 
 There can be no question of its approval by the Senate and 
 the Council. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 E. B. Parsons. Sec. 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 53 
 
 Williamstown, March 14, 1898. 
 My dear Sir: 
 
 It gives me pleasure to say that the application of your 
 University for a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was unanimously 
 approved by the Senate, and the application goes to the Coun- 
 cil that meets at Saratoga, Sept. 7, 1898. 
 
 Before that time, please to put on file with me the endorse- 
 ment of one of the existing chapters. 
 
 I have no doubt that Rochester or Colgate or Williams 
 would gladly give such endorsement at next commencement. 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons, Sec. 
 
 Williamstown, Apr. 2, 1898. 
 Dear friend Judson: 
 
 The suggestion of Rochester endorsing Chicago was made 
 because of a sort of tradition that denominational or semi- 
 denominational institutions should be asked to endorse each 
 other. It is of no great importance, yet I should like to 
 have it done if convenient. 
 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons. 
 
 Williamstown, 
 Sept. 9, 1898. 
 Dear friend Judson: 
 
 It gives me pleasure to notify you that the National Coun- 
 cil voted unanimously to establish a Phi Beta Kappa Chapter 
 at your University and the President of the Council will 
 confer with you as to the method of procedure, etc., etc. 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons, Sec. 
 
 Williamstown, Mass., 
 Oct. 6, 1898. 
 My dear Sir : 
 
 I wish to <;onsult you as to the form of Phi Beta Kappa 
 Charter. 
 
 The United Chapters furnish a printed form free of charge, 
 Long Primer type on parchment paper. 
 
 We have a contract with one of the penmen in a business 
 college to give written copies of the charter for $5 or $10 
 each according to the amount of work. 
 
 If designed for a drawer or pigeon hole, the printed copy 
 is ample. 
 
 If it is to be framed, the engrossed copy is desirable. 
 Perhaps you have some artist to whom I can send the 
 printed form and let him work it up. 
 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons, Sec. 
 
54 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 William stown, Mass., 
 Oct. 10, 1898. 
 Dear friend Judson : 
 
 We naturally put on the charter the names of those who 
 sign the application. In this case : Harper, Judson, Terry, 
 Nef, Moore, Tolman, Hale, Shorey, Small and Chamberlin. 
 H any other name or names should go upon the charter 
 please let me know, and I will have the charter all ready 
 when the President, DeRemer, is ready. 
 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons, Sec. 
 
 Williamstown, Nov. 4, 1898. 
 Dear friend Judson: 
 
 By this same mail, under another cover, I send the charter 
 and other Phi Beta Kappa documents. 
 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons. 
 
 Williamstown, Mass., 
 June 7, 1899. 
 Dear friend Judson: 
 
 I will ask the President of the United Chapters, Hon. J. A. 
 DeRemer, LL. D., of Schenectady, N. Y., to make sugges- 
 tions. 
 
 Pres. Thwing of Adelbert, has just made the address at 
 Cincinnati ; perhaps he will be open to engagement. I hope 
 DeRemer will go. 
 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons. 
 
 Williamstown, Mass., 
 June 10, 1899. 
 Dear friend Judson : 
 
 Enclosed you will find President DeRemer's suggestions. 
 He does not like to go back to the old plan of giving the 
 "Alphas" any special power. 
 
 I should think that it was reasonable courtesy to the Alpha 
 to give an early and first class invitation. 
 I think Thwing will make the better speech. 
 Can you not come and see us? 
 Society flourishes. 
 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons. 
 Williamstown, Mass., 
 July 3, 1899. 
 Dear friend Judson : 
 
 Will you give me the names of the officers of the new Phi 
 Beta Kappa Chapter at Chicago University, or refer me to 
 some one who can easily give such a list? 
 And greatly oblige. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 E. B. Parsons. 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 55 
 
 P.S. — Can you also secure a list of the new members? 
 Perhaps a catalog checked off can be easily obtained. 
 
 E. B. P. 
 
 Williamstown, Mass., 
 July 10, 1899. 
 Dear friend Hatfield: 
 
 The $5 from the Illinois Beta Phi Beta Kappa to the funds 
 of the United Chapters are duly received with thanks. 
 
 In the general catalog I shall attempt only a single line, 
 names with titles and addresses, also class if convenient. 
 
 It will be a great favor if I can secure the list and I will 
 gladly pay for it. 
 
 Mr. Judson is one of our high grade Williams men: re- 
 member me to him if you have occasion. 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons, Sec. 
 
 Williamstown, Mass., 
 January 6, 1906. 
 Dear friend Judson: 
 
 After twelve years as Secretary of the United Chapters of 
 Phi Beta Kappa, the Rev. O. M. Voorhees of High Bridge, 
 New Jersey, Rutgers Chapter, was elected secretary and all 
 my papers were passed over to him. I am not sure as to 
 such papers as you mention; but the minutes of the Senate 
 that first acted in the case must hiave something. 
 With all the good wishes of the season, 
 
 Cordially yours, 
 
 E. B. Parsons 
 
 Chicago, January 19, 1906. 
 Rev. O. M. Voorhees, 
 
 High Bridge, New Jersey. 
 My dear Mr. Voorhees: 
 
 I am gathering material for a documental history of the 
 Beta of Illinois chapter, and I am anxious to get the letters 
 sent by Professor H. P. Judson to Mr. E. B. Parsons in 
 1897 and 8 during the preliminary negotiation for a charter. 
 
 Mr. Parsons writes, January 6th, 1906, that he turned all 
 the papers over to you. He is not sure that such letters were 
 preserved. If you find them I shall appreciate it very much 
 if you send them to me for the purpose mentioned. My plan 
 is to bind them all up in a book and thus have the original 
 material for the history of the chapter. 
 
 Hoping to hear from you in this matter, I remain. 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 Francis W. Shepardson.

 The undersigned, a Committee duly 
 appointed at the National Council of the United Chap- 
 ters of Phi Beta Kappa held in September last for the 
 purpose of instituting the Chapters which the said 
 Council had voted to establish, in fulfillment of their 
 duty take pleasure in transmitting to you herewith a 
 formal Charter for the establishment of a Chapter 
 of the Phi Beta Kappa in 
 
 
 to be designated as the. 
 
 Chapter of ...^r^fe^rr^^rr^rr^r:^^^^ ; a copy of 
 
 the Constitution and By-Laws of th^ United Chapter ; 
 a Model Constitution for such new Chapter of the form 
 prescribed by the National Council, and also a summary 
 statement of the practices which obtain among existing 
 chapters as to selection of members, form of initiation, 
 etc. 
 
 With these documents you are fully authorized 
 and empowered by us to institute the new Chapter in 
 such manner as may commend itself to you. 
 
 And we confidently hope and trust that this chapter 
 under your fostering care and wise guidance may in 
 its membership maintain that high standard of charac- 
 ter and attainment which has characterized the mem- 
 bership of the Society in a long past and which has 
 rendered honorable everywhere the appellation of Phi 
 Beta Kappa.

 Dear Sir: 
 
 I regret very sincerely that the correspondence you desire 
 is not at hand, not having been sent me by Dr. Parsons. I 
 have the correspondence of recent chapters and have won- 
 dered if I should be burdened with its preservation. Your 
 suggestion is a good one, and I think that it should be 
 returned to the chapters for such disposition as may seem 
 to them good. 
 
 It is possible that I may come to Chicago the coming 
 month, and in that case should be glad to meet some mem- 
 bers of your chapter. I should be pleased to be remembered 
 to Prof. Thompson, a Rutgers' man now connected with your 
 faculty. 
 
 Allow me to express my sympathy with the University 
 at the loss of its efficient and distinguished president. From 
 your intimate association with him you no doubt feel the loss 
 more keenly than do others. We may feel confident that the 
 way of the future will be made plain. 
 
 Very sincerely yours,

 My dear Mr. Shepardson. 
 
 I am sorry that your letter has had to wait since the six- 
 teenth of December for a reply. The papers of the late Dr. 
 E. B. Parsons which were sent to the Library after his death 
 consisted of bound volumes of the Bulletins of the College 
 with which he had concerned himself in publication during 
 his long and busy as well as faithful career here as Regis- 
 trar, I do not find any letters of any description. It is barely 
 possible that these letters dealing with Phi Beta Kappa may 
 have been sent to the present Secretary, Professor Samuel 
 E. Allen, M. A. 
 
 Faithfully yours,

58 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 In the autumn of 1896 Dean Harry Pratt Judson 
 entered into correspondence with Mr. E. B. Parsons 
 of Williamstown, Massachusetts, the secretary of the 
 United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, relative to secur- 
 ing a charter for a chapter at the University of 
 Chicago. Under his direction a petition was framed 
 and presented to the Senate of the society at a meet- 
 ing held in the Library of the See House, 29 Lafayette 
 Place, New York City, at three o'clock, Wednesday, 
 March 2, 1898, Bishop Potter, president of the United 
 Chapters, presiding. On March 17, 1898, notice was 
 sent to all chapters of applications for charters from 
 fifteen institutions, among them the University of 
 Chicago. On Wednesday, September 7, 1898, the 
 National Council of Phi Beta Kappa met in the room 
 of the Court of Appeals, Convention Hall, Saratoga 
 Springs, N. Y., at 10 o'clock in the morning, and at 
 this meeting the petition from the University of Chi- 
 cago was granted and the following charter voted :

 jamin S. Terry, Eliakim Hastings Moore, Thomas 
 Chrowder Chamberlin, John Ulric Nef, Albert

 Beta Kappa, 
 Greeting : 
 
 Whereas the National Council of the United Chap- 
 ters of the Phi Beta Kappa Society has by resolution 
 duly adopted on the 7th day of September, 1898, de- 
 creed the establishment of a chapter of the Phi Beta 
 Kappa in connection with the University of Chicago 
 at Chicago, Illinois, and has directed the Senate by the 
 President and Secretary to issue a charter in the name 
 of the National Council: Now, therefore, by virtue 
 of the aforesaid act of the Council and the authority 
 delegated to us, we do hereby incorporate and estab- 
 lish you and such others as you may hereafter elect 
 and associate with yourselves, in conformity to the 
 law of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, into a separate 
 and subordinate branch of said society to be known 
 
BETA OF ILLINOIS 59 
 
 and called the Beta Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa 
 
 in the state of Illinois ; hereby granting you and your 
 successors all the powers, privileges, and benefits 
 thereunto appertaining, in as full and ample a measure 
 as the brethren of the other and existing chapters 
 enjoy; at the same time enjoining upon you in the 
 organization and conduct of the new chapter, and as 
 a condition upon which this chapter is granted, strict 
 compliance with the Constitution of the United Chap- 
 ters and the Model Constitution herewith transmitted 
 to you. 
 
 In witness whereof the said Senate has caused the 
 seal of the United Chapters of the Phi Beta Kappa to 
 be affixed hereto, with the signatures of the President 
 and Secretary. 
 
 JOHN A. De REMER, 
 
 President.

 On the receipt of this charter, meetings were held in 
 the Assembly Hall, Haskell Oriental Museum on April 
 4, June 2, and June 9, 1899, at which a local organiza- 
 tion was effected, a constitution and by laws adopted, 
 a list of recommendations for membership presented, 
 and plans formulated for the public inauguration of 
 the chapter. This occurred in Kent Theater, Satur- 
 day, July 1, 1899, at 10:30 a. m., the programme being

 Since the chapter was organized meetings have been 
 held quarterly for the admission of new members. The 
 aim has been to have one public meeting each year, 
 with an address given under the auspices of the fra- 
 ternity. In a few instances special reasons have inter- 
 fered to prevent this plan from being carried out. 
 Several interesting social gatherings have been held. 
 
 Orations have been delivered at the time of the June 
 Convocation of the University as follows : 
 
 1899 President Cyrus Northrop, of the University of

 Chicago, April 10, 1906. 
 Mr. H. P. Judson, 
 
 My dear Mr. Judson : 
 
 At the last meeting of Phi Beta Kappa the opinion was 
 expressed that some minute regarding President Harper as 
 one of the charter members of the society should be prepared 
 and spread upon the records. In view of your close con- 
 nection with the establishment of the chapter, Mr. Tufts asks 
 me to request you to prepare this minute to be presented to 
 the annual meeting of the chapter in June. 
 
 Hoping that you may be able to do this, I remain, 
 Yours truly, 
 
 Francis W. Shepardson. 
 
 Minute prepared by Mr. Judson. 
 
 When the initiatory steps were taken in the year 1898 to- 
 wards the formation of a chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa at 
 the University of Chicago, President William Rainey Harper 
 took an active interest. Not being himself a baccalaureate 
 graduate of a college in which a chapter ex'sted he was not 
 a member. The application for a charter for Chicago con- 
 tained ten names, one of which was that of President Harper. 
 The granting of the charter therefore, made him a member 
 and from that time through the rest of his life he was warmly 
 interested in the society. The high standard of scholarship 
 which the chapter has maintained received his hearty ap- 
 proval. To his loyal spirit the chapter owes much and it is 
 needless to say that he was easily its most eminent member. 
 
 The chapter expresses its profound sorrow at the loss not 
 only to the society but to the University and the entire world 
 occasioned by his untimely death. While words are inade- 
 quate to express in proper sense the depth of our sorrow or 
 the appreciation by members of the Phi Beta Kappa of the 
 character and achievements of Dr. Harper, at the same time 
 it is desired to put on record here, though in a halting way, 
 some sense of what the death of the President means. 
 
 It is voted that this minute be entered on the records and 
 a copy sent to Mrs. Harper.
