A FEW PARAGRAPHS OF EASTERN EVENTS. Recommendations of the Board of Visitors For Some Changes at Annapolis naval Academy. The chapter of Phi Gamma Dolt.i, which has been long expected by the other fraternities of the University, was established last Friday night. The boys of tho new chapter have worked hard for about two years to secure tneir dinner, and tneir success is a natural result. The Installation ccw moulcs were conduoted by Clement A. Lnwier or Kansas City, a "Fiji" rfom Cornell; rrofessor T. L. Lyons, also from Cornell; G. W. Burton of New York city, from DePauw; R. E. Moore, from Illinois Wesleyan; A. II. Slfeldon, from Knox, and C. L. Sovereign, for Wisconsin. They were assisted in the ceremonies of initiation by Van Valin and Harvey, who went for the boys to the recent nnd, by the way, semi centennial convention of the fratern ity nt Pittsburg, mid who were initi ated there. The charter members of the new chapter are: L. C. Mudge. A. 11. Sheldon, A. C. Pancoost, C. E. Harbor, E. It. Harvey, F. Van Valin, C. II. Mudge, E. A. Hose, chapters became extinct. The chap ters at Gettysburg and Allegheny had almost their entire nieinbeiship In either army. Almost all of the old chapters hae since been revived, and Phi Gamma Delta is now one of the strong, hnvlng forty-five active chap ters. These are scuttcrcd principally through the east and south, the Ne braska chapter being as yet the most western. Among the prominent alumni may be mentioned: Senatois Vance and Fairbanks, President, Moffat of Wash ington nnd Jefferson college nnd Coul ter of Lake Forest, and John Clark ltldpath, General Lew Wuiiuco and David D. Lloyd among authors. Tho installation of a new "frat" gen erally calls forth more or less criti cism. Many look with some opposi tion upon any new chapter since It means another rival. But little has beon said derogatory to the new chap ter, the Phi Gamma Delta, probably for the reason that there is little ground for criticism. It is conceded that the Phi Gamma Delta Is nation ally a credit to any institution and that the local chapter is made up of a set of good able fellows who will maintain the Ideals of their fratern-ity. iW frii .fcp'- IN GREETING TO PH GAMMA DELTA half yawls and it was Boulder's ball on Nebraska's 35-yard line. Chase punted across the goal line, Nebraska made n touch back and punted fwnn the 25 to the 35-yard line where it hit u Boulder player nnd rolled fifteen yards. Again Ohase, with the assist ance of a strong puff of wind, kicked ncross the visitors' goal line tuid the latter brought the ball to the twenty five yard line. The first hn.f was Called' with the ball on Nebraska's 12-yard line. THE SECOND h..wF. On the kick-off for the second half Chase kicked to Nebraska's 25-yawl line and the ball -was ' punted' back with the assistance of a strong1 wind to Boulder's 35-ynwl line. Itogers gained three yowls over 'tnckles nnd replaced Roth well, 0. Garwood and Itogers. After several plays the ball was on Boulder's 20-yard line and the visitors for the fourth time tried the Princeton goal This time it was suc cessful. The final score, Nebraska 23, Boulder 10. A few more plays brought the ball to Boulder's 25-yawl line in Nebraska's possession, when time was called. Tonight in the gymnasium the Ne braska foot ball team was extended a reception 'by the University students. The reception, which was a most en joyable affair, was followed 'by a dance.

The chapter is pleasantly located in a cozy little house at 1301 II street, wiiere the installation occur red. The Phi Gamma Deltu fraternity was founded at Jefferson college, Can onsburg, Pa., (afterwawls united with Washington college), In May, 1848. As many of the students were from the southern states, extension was natur ally in that direction, and of the first sixteen chapters established, eleven were in southern institutions. The wnr wrought serious damage to all fraternities and Phi Gamma Delta sus tained its full fahare.
