OLDEST FRATERNITY IS GRANTED CHARTER Ten Presidents Have Been Enrolled by It New York.—In announcing the plan to celebrate fittingly the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of Its founding, I’hl Beta Kappa, the college honor so clety. announces that ten presidents of the United states, beginning with John tjulncy Adams, were members of the organization. The society has just been granted a charter from the New York state board of regents, more titan 147 yenrs after a group of tneu founded It In Revolutionary duys. “Phi Beta Kappa Is the oldest of the Greek-letter college societies or fra ternitles. and Is in fact the progenitor of the entire college fraternity sys tem," says a statement recently made public. "It whs organized December 5, 1776, when the first meeting was held at the College of William and Mary at Williamsburg, Vtt. A few college so cieties are older than Phi Beta Kappa, among them ‘Whig' and 'Clio' at Princeton, hut none of them sought to expand by the organization of similar societies in other colleges. Phi Beta Kappa began to think of reaching out when it was but little over two years old, and at the celebration of Its third anniversary It granted a charter for a branch at Harvard, and four days la ter another for a branch at Yale. Closed by British Army. “Just two years later—In January, 1781—the coming of the British army closed the college and also the soci ety’s activities at William and Mary; not, however, until the members had sealed up their records, which conclude with the assertion of a ‘sure Hnd eer tain hope that the fraternity will one day rise to life everlasting anil glory Immortal.’ “Many of The early members became men of distinction, as legislators, diplo mats and Judges, two becoming Unit ed Stutes senators and two Judges of the Supreme court—Buslirod Wash ington, n nephew of President Mar shall. who was chlet justice for nearly thirty-five years. “The branches at Yale and Harvard soon came to occupy Important posi tions in these colleges. A marked fee ture of their activities was their anni versary gatherings, usually held during the college commencements. These at tracted wide attention by reason of the distinguished audiences that attended and the prominent men who dellver“d orations. “In June, 1824, General Lafayette at tended the anniversary at Harvard and listened to an oration by Kdwnrd Ev erett, afterwards president of Harvard and Inter the orator at Gettysburg when President Lincoln delivered his famous address. Has Ninety-Nine Chapters. “From those early days I’hl Beta Kappa has grown until there are now 1)9 branches or chapters, as they are called, in as many of the leading col leges and universities of the land. Nearly fifty years age women began to be admitted to memtiershlp. They could be accorded tfiis prilvlege < be cause Phi Beta Kappa had come to be recognized as an honorary society, ad mitting only the highest grade stu dents from the graduating classes. "Its members continue to occupy po sitions of prominence In every walk of life. Ten of them have been presidents of the 1'uited States, beginning with John Quincy Adams and including Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Cooildge. Forty-four per cent of all men and women honored by tablets In the Hall of Fame at New York uni versity are members of Phi Beta Kap pa. Many religions, political and so cial leaders are members, and also a great company of authors, educators and distinguished scientists. “The esteem in which membership Is held is evidenced by the fact that In 1917 Honorable Arthur J. Balfour and 12 graduates of Oxford and Cambridge, who were members of the British com mission sent to arrange for the partici pation of the United States in the World war, gladly accepted member ship. All four of the delegates selected by President Harding to represent the United States in the International con ference for the limitation of armament were members of Phi Beta Kappa. To Celebrate December 5, 192S. “Being the oldest college society In the United States and having had such a distinguished career, membership la counted a great honor and many col leges are eager to secure charters. Chapters are now found In every sec tion of the United States. “Plans are now forming to celebrate the one hundred fiftieth anniversary, which will occur December 5, 1926, In an especially worthy manner. A fund Is being collected to build a memorial building at the College of William and Mary, and to provide an endowment to enlarge the society’s activities in stim ulating scholarly ideals and efforts. It Is expected that the new catalogue will be of great assistance In the conduct of the canvass. From It we learn that there are 50 members In Central and South America, 50 in Africa, 265 in Eu rope and 475 in Asia. “The president of the society Is Dr. Charles F. Thwing, for 30 years presi dent of Western Reserve university, Cleveland, O. Among the members of the senate are five college presidents, Including President Hlbben of Prince ton and President Lowell of Harvard; Albert Shaw, the editor of the Review of Reviews; John H. Finley of the New York Times; Darwin P. Kingsley, president of the New York Life Insur ance company; John D. Rockefeller. Jr., and the secretary of state, Charles E. Hughes." OLD SUPERSTITIONS ARE STILL PRACTICED Potency of Ring, Glove, Pin and the Old Shoe. Richmond. Va.—The life banish ment from Princess Anne county, Va.. of Annie Rogers because she was said to have killed the mules of her ene mies with a maple wand illustrates the same fetlchistif spirit which causes many people the world over to endow commonplace objects with ain uletle powers. Sevent.v-year-old An nie's wand was a cane which she used to support her aped body. The negro folk of Princess Anne county, how ever, believed it to be thft- staff of a sorceress. Hence' the canc now keeps company with other favorite charms which, like gloves, stockiugs, shoes and even pins, many age-old supersti tions and traditions have enshrouded with mystery. The ring, for Instance, bus always been nil occult token. An emerald ring, the superstitious still believe, en dows Its wearer with pure thoughts. Should the same ring he broken, how ever. It becomes a harbinger of ill for tune and of a decline from virtue. Many of the housewives of the prov inces still carry in their pockets or about their throats a toadstone ring, a practice established centuries ago to preserve the mother and her In fants from evil Influences. As a curative the ring Is also rher Ished. It Is still used by the Euro pean peasants In following the advice. ‘‘Use amulets against agues,” which Sir Thomas Browne gave his patients more than 900 years ago. Silver rings are especially useful In curing cramps, fits and epileptic attacks, the simple English housewife believes. Lead and quicksilver rings, moreover, are highly prized as enemies to head aches. Quaint Old Customs. Many quaint old customs and super stltlons featuring the glove still sur vive. A pair of gloves was placed on a long pole as a means of advertising or opening a fair in bygone days and this custom still continues In many parts of England. In Saxon times, moreover, the gRuntlet was used as a token of the privilege of holding a market and as a mark of the king’s consent. According to Sir Walter Scott, the phrase “right as my glove" signified that pledging a glove was a sign of good faith, or taking one’s oath. Many other attributes were assigned to the | glove. It was, when worn In the hat. a testimony In ancient times that Its I wearer was a good farmer. The glove has always signified dig nlty. especially In the traditions of the Church of England. When a con I serration of a bishop took place the I archbishop was presented with a pair They were of lavender color with I golden fingers. This hand-dress was j also always hung on the pews of those j who died early and were unmarried. To bite the glove was a mark of dead | ly enmity or revenge The familiar “old shoe" of the wed ding Is a tried token of good luck. : How the custom ever originated Is not I certain, but It Is believed by many to | be a feigned attack upon the bride | groom for carrying off the bride. This I Ides Is suggested by rite early harbarlc j practices of capturing the bride against resistance. Others, however, attempt to trace ! the hurling of the wedding shoe to the j I cngtom of the ancient whalers. Ood- I i speed and good-luck were In the olden ■ days synonymous with throwing old j shoes at the vessels as they left the wharves. Symbol of Authority. Still another theory Is that which allows the wedding shoe to hecome the symbol of authority and dominion over the bride by the husband. To ! receive a shoe In Blhllcal times Indi cated the conferral of ownership. Just as the return of the shoe signified the relinquishing of If. In this period the father alw-a.v* kept the discarded shoe of his daughter as a aymhol of hts possession and It Is believed by some that the familiar practice at modern wedding* Is only the persistence of the old custom In which the father threw the shoe at his new son-in-law as a sign of surrendering his propri etorship over the bride. Stockings, like shoes have many legends and beliefs w’oven about them. To wear a stocking inside out la still regarded as lucky. Bad luck, how ever. overtakes the unfortunate who finds out her mistake before taking off the stocking, flood luck always awaits the person who has the wis dom of putting the right stocking on first. Woe unto him or her If the left Is put on before the right. Even pins have been potent falls men In the past. Anyone having a bitter enemy whom he wanted to pun ish had to do nothing bnt make a rude efflgv of his foes. After Inscribing the name of the enemy on the Image, all that was needed was to stick It full of pins, each pinhole causing pain In that part of the victim’s anatomy which In miniature was already being stabbed. Wishing wells are still popular trysting places for the lovers of Nor mandy. Sweethearts, according to tradition, will have all their wishes fulfilled by the simple expedient of making the wish and then dropping a crooked pin In the well.

Wilberforce, O., April 11.—For the first time in several years of football history, a colored college eleven will meet a white college eleven in Ohio. According to a report of the schedule committee arrangements have bean made for a game on October 4, 1924, when Wilberforce University’s power ful aggregation opens the season against a white team, Carroll College, of Cleveland, Ohio.
