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.
Europe Adopts $ Sign
Vienna.—American currency haa be
come so well advertised In Europe
since the war that the $ sign has been
added to several makes of typewriters
and now appears frequently in news
papers and magazines.
To Put Swiss Flag on Seas
Geneva.—Measures with a view to
permitting the Swiss flag to be flown
<m the high seas are under discussion
*>y the federal authorities to enable
Switzerland to maintain a merchant
marine. Switzerland Is without mari
time legislation, although during the
war merchant ships supplying her
with food flew the Swiss flag. The
question of a navy to protect a possi
ble merchant marine has not ‘besn
raised.
WILBERFORCE ELEVEN TO
MEET WHITE COLLEGE
(Preston News Service.)
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.
Several years »go when J. Sherman
Hunnicutt, now principal of McKinley
School, Topeka, Kansas, was manager
of the foot ball team at Wilberforce,
the local eleven played anntlally with
Antioch College (white) at Yellow
Springs, Ohio, and Cedarville Coll ge
(white), Cedarville, Ohio, and Tippy
canoe City team. He also managed
the baseball team and played with Ot
terbein, Springfield, Ohio, Tippicanoe
City, Cedarville, Antioch, Capital City
College and Ohio Medical College of
Columbus, Ohio. These same teams
also were on the Wilberforce Univer
sity sehedule during the ten years
prior to Hunnicutt’s regime, when
Richard C. Holland, now of Washing
ton, D. C., was manager of the base
ball and football teams. At least for
fifteen years Wll' erforce played white
teams throughout Ohio. It is, there
fore, nothing new, but really the old
school is getting back to be recog
nised by her former white friends
throughout the great state of Ohio.
