FOREWORD BY RICHARD GREEN LUGAR, DENISON 1954 Much of the progress of the United States of America over the last 175 years can be attributed to its Beta Theta Pi Men of Achievement. And our fellow countrymen will be able to focus on and salute those Betas because Erv Johnson, Idaho 1953, has devoted years of his life to discovering the unique importance of Beta triumphs, carefully researching the challenges they surmounted, and publishing the treasures of his findings. The families and friends of all the Betas Erv has listed will enjoy well deserved recognition. But the most important outcome of Betas of Achievement II will be its inspiration and confidence building in Betas of the future who will lead our country to new decades of strength across a wide field of endeavors and provide much greater confidence and security for people all over the world. Brother Betas of Achievement in the future will always revere memories of their forebears, but from lessons learned, they will also develop the foresight and the strength needed to save our planet.

PREFACE In 1914, William Raimond Baird issued his significant historic volume about Beta Theta Pi: Betas of Achievement. It was unique in the literature of the Fraternity in that Baird successfully chronicled — in much greater detail than this writer could have provided today in less than 1,000 or more pages — the achievements of individual Fraternity members in a wide variety of professions, without regard to whether the achievements were local, national or international. With the passing of 100 years since that singular anthology, the author offers this book as a follow-up to that highly respected first edition. As a result, the author concludes that it is fitting that the title of this book be equally as respectful; hence the name Betas of Achievement II, suggesting “Volume 2.” Indeed, as The Beta Theta Pi noted in its May 1950 issue, “There are 784 Betas listed in Volume 25 of Who’s Who — a number greater that any other William Raimond Baird fraternity,” indicative of her unique leadership in the collegiate Greek community.1 Brother Baird was very generous in his selections, making every attempt to overinclude. For example, virtually anyone who was in the field of religion — a popular and highly respected profession at the time — or practicing law — which included seven of the eight founders of the Fraternity — was included. Today, achievements by members extend far afield from those familiar pursuits, and simply being a clergyman or a lawyer did not make this printing. As will prove obvious, the selection of whom to include is highly subjective as to be prejudicial in some interpretations. In the words of my respected chapter brother, A.J.Gustin Priest, Idaho 1918, former president of our Great and Good Fraternity, as he dealt with his somewhat subjective process in writing his 10 convention speeches, later published as the book The Great Ones: “The list was incomplete. In fact, I heard sharply from several brethren who believed that their contributions had not been appropriately recognized.” He added, “The preparation of such a list was plainly hazardous, and the making of additions at this much later date is even more dangerous.”2 Not the least of these issues which Brother Priest enumerated are the omissions. They are innumerable, frequently unforgiveable. For example, it became totally unrea1
In an exhaustive study of Volume 34, Who’s Who, 1967, by then Administrative Secretary Ronald P. Helman, Miami 1955, found that members of Beta Theta Pi numbered 792 listings, 66 more than the second-ranking fraternity. Yale chapter led the list with 65, followed by Michigan, Kansas and DePauw chapters with 20 each. — The Beta Theta Pi, October 1967, pp. 9-32

vi sonable to tabulate the vast contributions and recorded achievements of the undergraduate athletes of the Fraternity. Only a handful have been included. Should someone feel obliged to produce a complete resume of the varsities, including the All-Americans, in the future, it would undoubtedly fill a book in itself. Apologies, brothers. When I completed the trilogy — Beta Statesmen (2010), Beta Heroes (2011) and Betas in the Arts (2012) — it became clear that completing any individual book devoted to other Beta achievers was not practical at the author’s advanced age. Hence, a comprehensive volume seemed necessary. Baird’s Betas of Achievement was highly referenced for the trilogy, so why not a sequel a century later? It must be noted that this may indeed be the last of such treatises. Hence, this cautionary note must be included. Until 2002, it was a goal of the editors of the Beta magazine to include an obituary, often at least a minimum of 10 lines, in the “Memory and Our Mystic Shrine” section. More recently, this practice has been dropped; only the death notices (with few exceptions) have been included: name, chapter, year of graduation and date of death. Readership surveys confirmed that the “Memory . . .” pages often are the first to be read by alumni. “Space considerations” have been the explanation. As a result, there is nothing upon which to base any future Betas of Achievement update. While researching for this book, the author combed through every issue of the magazine since 1914 for a second time. “Memory and Our Mystic Shrine . . .” and “Marching Along/Alumni News” were the primary resources for this 100-year recollection. Regrettably, obituaries will not be available to any future biographer. Finally, there was little question of whom should be invited to write the Foreword to this volume. As early as 1953, when Richard G. Lugar, Denison 1954 and I were delegates to the 112th General Convention, I have respected and admired his great leadership and service to the Fraternity and his loyal public service and dedication to our country. No Beta better personifies a “Beta of Achievement” more than this Man of Principle. It is my honor to have my friend and brother, Dick, associated with this work. — Author

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Where to begin; where to end? Such is the dilemma of any chronicler of such a vast body as the Fraternity of Beta Theta Pi, our numbers now exceeding 200,000. It’s always been my modest concession that I am a fair to middlin’ writer, a better-than-average biographer, a modestly good editor and a truly fine anthologist. With that boastful admission aside, it is my pleasure to enumerate those who have been of such assistance in the preparation of this volume. Of course, there are those on the Oxford staff who respond to my calls for help and do the final proofreading: Editor, The Beta Theta Pi, and Director of Advancement, the Beta Foundation, L. Martin Cobb, Eastern Kentucky 1996; Mike Roupas, Iowa 2010, managing editor of The Beta Theta Pi, and Kyle Grand, Wabash 2011, associate director of communication, as well as former Administrative Secretary Stephen B. Becker, Florida 1969, who assures the Canadian perspective and accuracy, and historical enthusiast and the Fraternity’s assistant historian Zac Haines, Miami 2005. The designers on the staff of the Beta magazine/communication department — Creative Director Sarah Shepherd and graphic designer Jenna Noah were always ready to answer questions about paging and supply back copies of the Beta magazine as well as the design of the delightful dust cover that embraces this volume. No amount of thanks are sufficient to appreciate Phyllis Bowie, receptionist in the Beta Administrative Office, for her tireless and patient assistance in confirming the spelling of names and confirmation of school and year of each Beta listed. — Author

PUBLIC SERVICE: NATIONAL LEVEL
Chapter 1 Achievement in Public Service, National Level Previously, this chapter might have been named “Beta Statesman” and contained only those found in the book of that name. During the writing of the book, 2010, it was discovered that there are many, many more men who deserve mention, even attention. In the book; however, there needed to be cut-offs, e.g., judges were only included if they were on the U.S. Supreme Court — no state supreme court judges nor lower court justices. Likewise, legislators were restricted to the national level and foreign service personnel were, for the most part, limited to ministers and ambassadors. Here, the restrictions have been eased; unfortunately, too many still will remain unknown — regretable omissions — not because they have been intentionally left out but because neither this editor or any previous or future editors learned of their achievements. neither Further, while the rolls include a vice president, many distinguished, long-serving U.S. Senators and Represenatives, even a Canadian Prime Minister, the man below held a powerful role in the legislative branch. It may not be that you will fully agree with this choice. The decision was long and hard, with grateful acknowledgement to the many contributions of my longtime brother, friend and esteemed author of the “Foreword” to this book, The Honorable Richard Green Lugar, Denison 1954.
Jamie Lloyd Whitten, Mississippi 1933 SECOND LONGEST SERVING MEMBER OF THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The Honorable Jamie Whitten of Mississippi
The term “career public servant” is a most appropriate label for The Honorable Jamie L. Whitten, who served a record 53 years in the U.S. House of Representatives. In the latter years of his tenure, he was known as “the Dean of the House.” One writer characterized him as having exerted “quiet but powerful control over the nation’s purse strings.” At one time, Betas had key appropriations positions in both chambers: Whitten as chairman of the House Appropriations Committee was responsible for every funding bill that came out of the House, and Senator Mark Hatfield, Willamette 1943, was chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. When Whitten obtained his law degree

BETAS OF ACHIEVEMENT II
from the University of Mississippi, he was admitted to the state bar with the highest average in 1932. He was a 20-year-old school principal when he was first elected to public office as a member of the Mississippi House of Representatives in 1931, at age 21. He next was elected district attorney at 23 and continued in that office for three terms until elected to Congress in 1941. He represented the First Mississippi District continuously from the 77th through the 103rd Congresses, and he was chairman of the appropriations committee’s subcommittee for agricultural affairs for all except the last term in that series. Born in Cascilla, Mississippi, April 18, 1910, he maintained a home in Charleston, Mississippi, through those years. He authored a book, That We May Live, written after he sponsored an official investigation into chemicals and chemical pesticides. He retired in 1994, having served under 11 U.S. presidents. A Mason and a Democrat, he also held membership in Phi Alpha Delta, unique in that it is the only law fraternity whose roots were nurtured in a legal controversy. That fraternity names each of its chapters after some distinguished legal figure. Its University of Mississippi chapter, established in his junior year, was named for Beta Supreme Court Justice, Joseph Rucker Lamar, Bethany 1877/Washington and Lee 1878. Lamar had been General Secretary of Beta Theta Pi as a student, 1877-78. Whitten was one of the members of an honorary cabinet chosen for the Beta Sesquicentennial Campaign in 1989. He died in 1995, in Jackson, Mississippi, at age 85. — Robert T. Howard, DePauw ’37, Beta Theta Pi Historian, editor emeritus, The Beta Theta Pi
NATIONAL U.S./CANADIAN FEDERAL EXECUTIVE BRANCH Schuyler Colfax, DePauw 1854 Vice President of the United States during the first term of President U.S. Grant, 186973, Colfax was a U.S. Representative from Indiana, 1855-68, and Speaker of the House, 1863-68. An energetic campaigner against slavery, he was a friend of Abraham Lincoln and helped found the new Republican Party. When the scandals of Grant’s presidency worsened, Colfax distanced himself from the corrupt administration; as a result, he was dropped from the ticket in the 1872 election. Colfax was the top leader in the House of Representatives during the latter half and conclusion of the Civil War. He was a strict disciplinarian, and exercised great power. A Lincoln biographer noted, “The president rarely took any step affecting the interests of the nation without making his intentions known to and Vice President Colfax

consulting with Mr. Colfax.” Lincoln and Colfax first became acquanted at the River and Harbor Convention in the late 1840s, convened to protest President Polk’s veto of the Whig-sponsored internal improvements bill; the assembly was said to have been “the largest convention ever gathered in the country” with more than 5,000 delegates. Former and future governors, congressmen and senators were there, including, Editor Horace Greeley who wrote, “Hon. Abraham Lincoln, a tall specimen of Illinois just elected to Congress from the only Whig district in the state.” Colfax of Indiana was chosen to serve as secretary of the conference. American geography perpetuates his memory in many places, including Colfax, California; Colfax, Washington; Colfax, Louisiana; Schuyler, Nebraska (county seat of Colfax County), and Colfax County, New Mexico John Napier Wyndan Turner, British Columbia 1949 Marked as a winner from boyhood, Turner was a champion national athlete in football, track and hockey; Rhodes Scholar, 1949; member of a major law firm; leader in the Canadian Parliament, 196194, and the 17th Prime Minister of Canada, 1984. During his time in the House of Commons, he was alternately Minister Without Portfolio, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, Registrar General, Solicitor General, Minister of Justice and Minister of Finance. Turner was considered a “Prime Minister in waiting” too long, overshadowed by Liberal Party standard-bearer Pierre Trudeau. Many consider his changes to the party’s ideology and policies during his years as party leader may be his true Prime Minister John Turner legacy. While he campaigned against the controversial Free Trade Agreement in 1988, he was largely pro-business and favored smaller government during his six years as Liberal Party leader.

PROMINENT BEFORE AND DURING WORLD WAR II Wendell Lewis Willkie, Indiana 1916 Few, if any, men had such an impact on the U.S. national scene as Willkie, well-known lawyer, key business leader and candidate of the Republican Party in the election of 1940 against the third-term victory of President F.D. Roosevelt. While he never held an elected political office, he gained the unwelcome reputation of an isolationist. On the other hand, he was praised by Democrats for setting aside politics and supporting FDR’s Lend-Lease Act in 1943. His book, One World, 1943, called for international peacekeeping after World War II. With virtually no fanfare, he assisted 49 boys and girls to attend college. He drank moderately, smoked up to six packs of cigarettes daily, enjoyed playing poker, never drove a car and never carried a watch. His campaign against FDR

found him garnering more votes than by any previous Republican candidate.
LINCOLN CONFIDANTS The role of Beta Theta Pi members in both the North and South during and after the Civil War has been well documented in other books about the Fraternity; however, several brothers were close to President Abraham Lincoln before, during and after that tragic time in U.S. history, scarcely more than two decades after the founding in 1839. While the distinguished Southern General John Copyright, 1944, New York Herald Tribune Inc. Brown Gordon, Georgia 1853, was a key figure Political cartoon by Beta Ding Darling during the conflict, serving as a lieutenant gen- upon death of Wendell Willkie in 1944 eral, third in command of Southern troops, historically he was remembered at Gettysburg on his magnificent, coal-black stallion as “the most glorious and inspiring thing” ever seen. Additionally, Gordon was credited with saving General Robert E. Lee’s life at the Battle of Sharpsburg. Accompanying Lee to the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, Northern General Joshua L. Chamberlain declared, “When the head of the gray column came opposite, the bugle sounded; there was a soft, ordered slapping of hands on wood and metal, and along the whole (Union) line, muskets rose to a marching salute. At the head of the Confederate column, General Gordon caught the sound of shifting arms. The meaning suddenly dawned on him, and in a moment the spirit changed. Gordon wheeled toward the brigade. Rider and horse made one superb uplifted figure. Dropping his sword point to the tip of his boot, he ordered his troops to pass with the same position of the manual, the two armies thus honoring one another in a final salute.” Of General Gordon, magnificent in defeat, Chamberlain observed, “The best-looking soldier I ever saw in my life.” After the war, Gordon served as a U.S. Senator from Georgia, 1873-80 and 1891-97, and governor of the state, 1886-90. Of Gordon, President Theodore Roosevelt, some 40 years later, said, “A more gallant, generous and fearless gentleman and soldier has not been seen by our country.” Meanwhile, in the North, DePauw chapter brothers, James Harlan, 1845, and Schuyler Colfax, 1854, were equally zealous in their close relationship with President Lincoln. Harlan and his wife often took afternoon carriage rides with the Lincolns. Beta Theta Pi’s first U.S. Senator; Harlan’s daughter married Robert Todd Lincoln. In 1864, Lincoln had told insiders that he planned on replacing Secretary of the Interior John P. Usher with

Harlan. After Lincoln’s assasination, Harlan was President Andrew Johnson’s Secretary of the Interior, resigning after only a year. Near the end of the war, Senator Harlan, and the Marquis de Chambrun, were steaming in a Navy launch, toward City Point, en route to visit General Grant and the President near the front lines, to advise Lincoln about Secretary of State William H. Seward’s lifethreatening carriage accident. Learning later that Seward would recover, Harlan noted, “He was transfigured. That previous indescribable sadness had suddenly changed for an equally indescribable expression of serene joy.” Colfax, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives during Lincoln’s administration, was sought after often by the wartime president for counsel; he was vice president in President U.S. Grant’s administration, declining a second term when he found he could no longer be associated with the former general’s ineffective and corrupt presidency. When Lincoln was embattled for his support of General Grant, Colfax encouraged him one Sunday during the Battle of the Wilderness. “I saw (Lincoln) walk up and down the Executive Chamber, his long arms behind his back, his dark features contracted still more with gloom; and as he looked up, I thought his face the saddest one I had ever seen.” But, Colfax added, “he quickly recovered. . . . He never lost faith in Grant.” It was Colfax, Speaker of the House, who announced the final tally of the vote on the 13th amendment. His voice shaking, he said, “On the passage of the Joint Resolution to amend the Constitution of the United States (which required a constitutional majority of two-thirds affirmative), the ayes have 119, the noes 56.” Colfax and his wife were invited by Lincoln to join them in the presidential box on the fateful evening of the assasination. Previous commitments required Colfax to decline. Colfax was soon to depart for California. “How I would rejoice to make that trip!” Lincoln told Colfax, “but public duties chain me down here, and I can only envy you its pleasures.” It was the last time the two friends ever spoke. Though not as close to Lincoln, yet highly involved with the political struggle within the war, Oliver Hazard Perry Throck Morton, Miami 1845, (which he later changed to Oliver Perry Morton), Indiana’s wartime Republican governor (1861-67), was frequently heeded when he weighed in on such issues as the 13th amendment, which he favored.

Young rancher and real estate broker Mike Synar was elected to the U.S. House of Represenatives in 1979 for the first of eight terms. Often maligned and at odds with voters and huge special interest groups, he began by opposing the exploitation of the Alaskan wilderness by major oil interests. Synar served with a demeanor often described as “demanding and devoted, hot-tempered and warm-hearted, passionate and fearless.” The way he dealt with flak was to go home and explain himself, making his case at town halls, coffee shops and service club meetings. Ultimately his individualism cost him and, in 1994, he was ousted in the great Republican sweep when the GOP gained control of the House for the first time in 40 years. Within months, he started suffering severe headaches. He was gulping down pain pills when he received the Lincoln Center “Profile in Courage” award. He was diagnosed with brain cancer and died in 1996 at age 45.

Chapter 2 Achievement in State and Local Public Service Beta brothers on the rolls of state, provincial and local public service are vitually endless. Where do you draw the line between those most deserving and the many others who may not be quite so worthy of inclusion on these pages? Whereas in the book, Beta Statesmen, 2010, emphasis generally was placed at the national level; herein are listed the many who have served as legislators and in other regional and/or local roles. Wendell Willkie is featured below due to his vast public service, yet he never filled a national or local elective office. Nonetheless, his service to the people was remarkable and unique.
Wendell Lewis Willkie, Indiana 1916 1940 REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR U.S. PRESIDENT A lawyer, Willkie was the Republican nominee for U.S. President in 1940. Though he lost in a close election to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in FDR’s successful bid for a third term, Willkie was later described by the President’s wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, as, “A man of courage (whose) outspoken opinions on race relations were among his great contributions to the thinking of the world.” Willkie was born in Elwood, Indiana, in 1892. After graduating from Indiana University in 1913 he practiced law in Ohio, 1914-23, and New York City, 1923-33. In 1933, he became president of the Commonwealth and Southern Corporation, a huge utilities holding company. Willkie was originally a member of the Democratic Party but was a strong opponent of some aspects of FDR’s New Deal. He was especially hostile to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), that, once established, would be a major competitor to companies such as Commonwealth and Southern Corporation. When the TVA scheme went ahead, Willkie joined the Republican Party. At Philadelphia in 1940, the Republican Party chose Willkie rather than Thomas Dewey as their presidential candidate. During the campaign, Willkie attacked the New Deal as being inefficient and wasteful. Although he did better than expected, FDR Presidential candidate, 1940, Wendell Willkie

beat Willkie, 27,244,160 votes to 22,305,198, even though Willkie’s total vote was the largest ever cast for a Republican candidate. Willkie was an idealistic internationalist and a strong opponent of American isolationism. FDR had great respect for Willkie and, in 1941, appointed him as his special representative. He played an active role in the American Committee for Russian War Relief. Along with Fiorello La Guardia, Charlie Chaplin, Vito Marcantonio, Orson Welles, Rockwell Kent and Pearl Buck, Willkie also campaigned during the summer of 1942 for opening a second-front in battle-scarred Europe. In 1943, Willkie published his book One World, calling for a post-war world in which there was a union of free nations. A best seller, it laid the groundwork for the United Nations in 1950. He followed with An American Program, 1944. He died of coronary thrombosis on October 8, 1944. Among often attributed quotes of Wendell Willkie are: “Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.” “If we want to talk about freedom, we must mean freedom for others as well as ourselves, and we must mean freedom for everyone inside our frontiers as well as outside.” “History shows that our way of life is the stronger way. From it has come more wealth, more industry, more happiness, more human enlightenment than from any other way.”

Chapter 3 Betas of Achievement in Business, Finance and Industry Members of Beta Theta Pi have made significant contributions to North American free enterprise over the years since 1839. In the early days, law was the principal profession of the Fraternity’s graduates. Slowly, however, business fields have attracted more and more graduates. The many men briefly described in this chapter are ready witnesses to that fact. Indeed, along with Brother Sam Walton, one other Beta was recognized in TIME magazine’s issue of Dec. 7, 1998, among the 20 men it named as “Builders & Titans of the 20th century”: Stephen D. Bechtel, Sr., California 1923. See page 78. Without dwelling on apology, while this chapter may be long on membership, it is not short on completeness. Community leaders in Peoria may be far more impressed with a Northern Illinois business icon than a “Walton,” the “Bechtels” or Seattle’s “Nordstroms.” To borrow from the late Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Tip O’Neill who declared, “All politics are local!” it might also be concluded, “All business is local!”
Samuel Moore Walton, Missouri 1940 “AMERICA’S MASTER MERCHANDISER” The man whom Fortune magazine headlined as “America’s Master Merchandiser,” Sam Walton rarely procrastinated and seldom was even behind schedule; but he was about seven years late in receiving his Oxford Cup, No. 16, in 1991. When the Beta Theta Pi Board of Trustees introduced this way of recognizing Betas who had risen to the pinnacle of their professions, an early selection was Sam Walton, who had created the Walmart (originally spelled Wal-Mart) chain and with it emerged to be hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “one of the most influential retailers of this century.” The scheduled presentation was for the 1985 Beta Convention. Walmart emergencies interfered for some six years. Ultimately, a presentation was scheduled for October 7, 1991, at Walmart headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas. Again something Sam Walton, founder of Walmart came up. Beta magazine Editor John R.

McClung, Jr., described the outcome in the winter 1992 issue: “The ceremony therefore turned out to be a breakfast and presentation at the local Day’s Inn. Complete with apologies for the roadblocks thrown in the way, Brother Walton gave assurances he was truly flattered . . . and said the Oxford Cup would be prominently displayed in his office.” The article noted: “When Sam Walton entered Missouri and pledged the Fraternity in the mid-1930s, he was not much, if any, different than most of his other classmates, lucky to be there in depression times. Growing up, he (was) the youngest Eagle Scout in Missouri at the time and, later, quarterback of the state champion high school football team. You could add student council president and being a pretty fair tennis player.” He took a job after graduation as a management trainee for J.C. Penny Co. at $85 a month. In 1945, on borrowed money, he opened a Ben Franklin store in Newport, Arkansas. His brother Bud opened another in Versailles, Missouri. They increased the number to nine, then opened the first Walmart in 1962. Before 1970, they owned 30 stores under the two names. The extraordinary story of the growth of the Walmart chain is told in his own book,Sam Walton: Made in America, written with John Huey. In 1992, there were 1,735 Wal-Marts and 212 Sam’s Wholesale Club warehouses. Sales for 1991 totaled almost $44 billion. Stock first issued in 1970 had split nine times. Walton was the nation’s largest retailer. But hairy-cell leukemia and bone marrow cancer became too much for him. He died at 74 in Little Rock on April 5, 1992. — Robert T.

ONLY BETA TO QUIT A JOB AND PICK A FIGHT TO ATTEND A BETA CONVENTION District Chief Carl Sorenson, Syracuse 1939, may be unique among Beta district chiefs, or any Beta for that matter; he is believed to be the only man who “both quit a job and picked a fight to attend a Beta Convention.” He had just started a new job (1939) managing a chain of stores from Riverside, Connecticut, but he had his heart set on attending the Centenary Convention in Oxford. When his boss wouldn’t let him go, he quit; further, he was broke, but he went to a fight promoter and got a bout at Norwalk, Connecticut, earning enough to pay his way to Oxford, black eye and all.”

Chapter 4 Betas of Achievement in Education There are many who would suggest that “Jimmie” Yen is perhaps the greatest member of Beta Theta Pi who ever lived. And yet he was an almost accidental Beta. Certainly his reputation preceded him into the membership. And he is forever indelibly inscribed among the greatest and most influential men of the 20th century. Indeed, a distinguished body of scholars and scientists included the Yale brother “among the ten greatest revolutionaries of our time!” When we think of “revolutionaries,” we readily include those whose conduct and actions have changed the course of history, hopefully for the better. Sixty million Chinese were better for Yen’s efforts to affect his nation’s literacy. Other brothers have ranked high in affecting many lives: in medicine, inventor of the portable defibrilator Dr. Hugh Stephenson, Missouri 1943; in law, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, Whitman 1920; in science, Canadian geneticist and biophysicist Robert H. Haynes, Western Ontario 1953; even in politics, Wendell Lewis Willkie, Indiana 1916, who, after his defeat at the polls, threw his full support behind his opponent toward President F.D. Roosevelt’s efforts to achieve world peace.
Dr. Yu-Chuen James Yen, Yale 1918 “AMONG THE TEN GREATEST REVOLUTIONARIES
OF
OUR
TIME”
Respected worldwide as a leading humanitarian and educator, Dr. Yu-Chuen James Yen received Oxford Cup (No. 007) in 1987. He had become known for having set in motion forces which made possible the education of more than 60 million Chinese, bringing functional literacy to the common man for the first time. Asked by the National War Work Council of the YMCA to go to France upon graduation from Yale to assist with the thousands of coolies in the Chinese Labor Corps recruited by the Allies in World War I, he began his literacy aid which turned out to be a “crusade” affecting millions. Jimmy Yen founded the Chinese Mass Education Movement in 1923. He worked with the government to bring about primary Literacy crusader Y.C. James Yen, Yale 1918

health care to the villages and started an unprecedented program of “village scholars.” This program brought the most modern techniques of agriculture and animal husbandry to the hinterlands by educating a chosen few and then having them educate the masses. To carry this work to the world, he founded the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction in 1960. His unique practical training assisted the people of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Philippines. In 1987, President Reagan awarded him the Eisenhower Medallion of People to People International, recognizing his efforts toward world peace. A distinguished body of scholars and scientists, asked to pick “the ten greatest revolutionaries of our time” to receive Copernican Citations in 1943 marking the 400th anniversary of the death of Copernicus, listed him along with Albert Einstein, Henry Ford, Orville Wright, Harvey Firestone and Thomas Edison. A 1987 Presidential End Hunger Award for lifetime achievement cited him for “developing and disseminating a sustained, integrated program to overcome the root causes of hunger and poverty in the Third World.” Yen was imaginative and aggressive in tapping some of his Beta contacts for help in his crusade. Among these were Stanley S. Kresge, Michigan 1924; Charles P. Taft, Yale 1918, and Justice William O. Douglas, Whitman 1920. He told the audience at his Oxford Cup ceremony how such men helped him draft IIRR by-laws, raised funds for IIRR and served on its board at his request. Jimmy Yen died of pneumonia in New York City on January 17, 1990, at age 96. — Robert T. Howard, DePauw 1937, General Fraternity Historian, former editor, The Beta Theta Pi

HISTORY OF THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS Cecil John Rhodes, a young man of privilege in 1870’s England, went to South Africa in search of health. While there, he seized upon opportunities which also gave him wealth and influence. Completing his formal education at Oriel College, Oxford University, he decided he would make it his aim to contribute to bringing about a condition of law, order, peace, justice and democracy throughout the world. Reasoning that an expansion of Anglo-Saxon influence was necessary, he was the foremost architect of British expansion in South Africa. In 1889, at age 36, he became chairman of the British South Africa Company and at age 37 was elected Prime Minister of Cape Colony. In 1895, his name was given to the British colony Rhodesia. His will in 1912 directed that most of his fortune be devoted to scholarships. The first scholarships in the U.S. were given in 1904. See page 137. — From an article by Stanley K.

THE BETA ROSE AND HOW IT WAS CHOSEN The rose dates from June 1889, the Fraternity’s 50th year at the Convention in Oxford. A part of the official business was the choice of a suitable flower for the Beta symbol, the colors pink and blue having been previously chosen, and the flower must represent one of these colors. A Beta daughter, Mrs. James B. Welsh, on the faculty of Western Female Seminary (now Western campus of Miami University), was named to the committee of four to recommend the flower. They chose the rose. As the committee left their meeting place, it passed under the branches of a Queen of the Prairie Rose, then in full and glorious bloom. Mrs. Welsh picked three blossoms — for John W. Herron, Miami 1845, Beta president; John I. Covington, Miami 1870, toastmaster of the evening banquet, and Dr. Warfield, then president of the university. They were the first to wear the “Beta Rose.” — The Beta Theta Pi, January 1935, pages 301-302

CIVILIAN HEROES
151
Chapter 5 Betas of Courage: Civilians While many of those included in this chapter were in the book Beta Heroes, a separate chapter presents the many brothers who showed intrepidity in military service. The pages herein, however, are devoted to brothers in civilian life who demonstrated exceptional courage, e.g., Cornell’s Eric Erickson (below), Beloit’s Adolph Dubs, (page 153); California’s Charles A. Ramm (page 153); Cincinnati’s Barry Bishop (page 155); Westminster’s Tom Martin (page165) and Indiana’s Meid Compton (page 158), to name but a handful. While the stories related here vary wildly, few could doubt that courage, often standing alone, was key in all of them.
Eric Erickson, Cornell 1921 MALIGNED YET HEROIC SPY OF WORLD WAR II The exploits of Eric Erickson, little-publicized at the end of the war, came to light in the early 1960s in a best-selling book by Alexander Klein, The Counterfeit Traitor. The story was made into a motion picture, starring William Holden as Erickson, who died in 1983. After leaving Cornell, where he was a football star, Erickson worked in the Texas oilfields. He visited Japan on an oil exploration job and went on other assignments throughout the world, finally as Texas Oil Company’s representative in Sweden. There he added Swedish to his fluency in Japanese, French, Italian and German. But it took more than linguistic abilities to accomplish what he did. It required physical and emotional strength. Most of all, he needed moral courage, of which he had an abundance. Erickson’s background for his wartime experiences came with his dealings that began in 1933 with Germany’s new leaders. He helped arrange exports of Mexican oil expropriated from British and American companies. In return, Hamburg shipyards built tankers for Texaco. Though unpopular in some circles, this helped ingratiate him with leading Nazis and others helpful in a spy network. Sweden was cut off from western oil markets when the war broke out.

started doing business through the Germans with oil fields in Hungary and Rumania. This put him on the Allied Black List, entrenching him with the Nazis. In late 1939, the U.S. Ambassador to Russia Laurence Steinhardt flew to Stockholm on a confidential mission for President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was futilely trying to arrange a solution to the Russian-Finnish War. The mission had failed, but Steinhardt made a contact that was to prove a valuable aid to the Allied cause. He met for dinner in his suite at the Grand Hotel with an old acquaintance, Eric Erickson. The ambassador outlined what the American government wanted Erickcson to do: nurture his German contacts so he could help Allied bombers wipe out the Nazi oil potential. Erickson was fully aware of the risks. “Count me in, Laurence,” he said. “I’ll do my best.” Erickson was given the code name “Red” and began his perilous double life. With the help of Prince Carl Bernadotte, an Allied sympathizer posing as a friend of the Nazis, he drew close to the German high command. He was allowed almost free access to German oil installations. He secretly passed on intelligence from Sweden, and Allied bombers systematically attacked the Nazi oil reserves based on his valuable information. His activities placed him in constant danger, and he sometimes had to remain mute while his co-conspirators were tortured and executed by the Nazis. Also punishing was what he had to endure with his family and friends. He was unable to confide his role even to his wife. He was reviled both publicly and in private. The effect of the work of Erickson and his fellow spies has been documented. The chief of the German General Staff said later: “The destruction of the synthetic oil plants was a particularly severe blow since our fuel supplies were mainly based on those installations.” U.S. Air Force history stated, “These (oil) attacks were closely related to the fact that the invading forces were not disturbed by the German Air Force on D-Day.” Said Commanding General Dwight D. Eisenhower: “This tactic (bombing oil sources) had a great effect, not only generally upon the entire war-making power of Germany, but also directly at the front.” Erickson continued his activities until his exposure to the Gestapo. Then he made a dramatic escape from Germany through Denmark to Sweden with the aid of underground friends. His vindication did not come until June 4, 1945, when the U.S. Minister to Sweden revealed his heroic role for the first time. Erickson received no material reward for his services and even refused payment for his expenses. He returned to business after the war and divided his retirement years between his summer home in Sweden and his winter home in France. — Excerpted from a story by celebrated Hollywood journalist and Beta Bob Thomas, UCLA 1943, printed in The Beta Theta Pi, May 1962, pages 414-415

INTREPEDITY IN WAR
Chapter 6 Betas of Achievement in Intrepidity in War “Intrepidity,” the military’s word for courage, is best defined as “resolutely fearless.” The easy explanation for this chapter is that it is fundamentally an extract from the book Beta Heroes, published by the Fraternity in 2011; essentially accurate, however, further research by the author uncovered a number of brothers who, regrettably, were omitted from the book. Perhaps the best example is Guy D. Perham, Washington State 1950, past president of Beta Theta Pi, 1999-2002, whose heroics as a U.S. Air Force pilot in the Vietnam War earned him the Distinguished Flying Cross. This chapter is necessarily the longest in the book because the members of Beta Theta Pi have played such significant roles in the wars, first on opposing sides in the War Between the States, then those more recent in which the U.S. and Canada have engaged in over the past century.

OF
WORLD WAR II
Thomas Buchanon McGuire, Jr., Georgia Tech 1942: America’s “Second Leading Air Ace” in World War II with the shooting down of 38 enemy planes, Major McGuire’s actions were considered so heroic that New Jersey’s McGuire Air Force Base is named in his honor. In his first engagement, he downed three Japanese aircraft; by age 24, he had shot down 38 enemy planes in his P-38 fighter. McGuire blazed the record in the smoking Pacific skies surpassed only by his good friend, Major Richard Bong, who shot down 40 planes. McGuire painted the 38th Japanese flag on the fuselage of his battlescorched ship at Clark field near Manila the day after Christmas 1944, after bagging seven enemy planes in two days. Veteran of more than 200 missions, he was decorated 18 times, holding the Congressional Medal of Honor, five Distinguished Flying Crosses, a Distinguished Service World War II Ace Thomas B. McGuire, Jr. Cross, two Silver Stars, nine Air Medals and

a Purple Heart, the latter after action over Oro Bay, New Guinea, in October 1943, when he downed three zeros. He was killed in an air battle on January 7, 1945, perishing when his plane stalled on a high-speed turn while he was attempting to assist his wingman who was under attack by a Japanese fighter over the Philippines.
OTHER BETA MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS Matthew Stanley Quay, Jefferson (Washington & Jefferson) 1850: Out of service at the start of the Civil War, Union Colonel Quay, lieutenant of the 10th Pennsylvania Reserves, voluntarily resumed duty, earning his Medal of Honor as a result of a “brave charge on the heights;” State senator, 1865-67; Pennsylvania Secretary of State, 187278, 1879-82; State treasurer, 1885-87; a powerful U.S. Senator, 1887-99, 1901-04 Emory Jamison Pike, Iowa Wesleyan 1898: A division machine gun officer in the 82nd Division, near Vandieres, France, in World War I, Lt.

tacked by superior enemy troops; when the first helicopter arrived to evacuate his wounded, Lt. Graves, although gravely wounded, refused to leave until all of his men were safely evacuated; he and another man stayed behind; a second helicopter arrived and they boarded, but intense enemy fire caused the helicopter to crash, killing all aboard As you read this chapter, you will learn of other brave Betas who arguably deserved to receive the Medal of Honor, but didn’t. For example, General Omar Bundy, DePauw 1881 (recipient of Silver Stars for bravery in both the Spanish-American War and World War I) page 176; Herbert L. Jones, Denison 1912, page 176; Wilbert Wallace White, Wesleyan 1912, page 188; certainly the remarkable Maurice Edward (Mike) Malone, Toronto 1917 (“Never mind me; carry on!”), page 181; Ensign John Perry Edwards, Kansas 1939 (first pilot to take off and engage the Japanese warplanes on Dec. 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor), see page 187; Oregon State’s James V. Johnston, 1939, (the one-man army who led an attack, killing 20 Germans and capturing 86 prisoners), page 192; Richard A. Kersting, Dartmouth 1942, (described as “the Sergeant York of World War II”), see page 184, Ross R. Miner, Idaho 1944 (recipient of Silver Stars for bravery serving in World War II and the Korean War), page 201, Thomas Lloyd Hayes, Oregon State 1947 (two silver stars, distinguished service cross; first Ace in his unit), see page 192, and Millard A. Peck, Kenyon 1962 (Army special forces captain; recipient of five Silver Stars; called “The Werewolf” by enemy troops), see page 204. All were invested with unequalled intrepedity worthy of the highest U.S. honors. Indeed, many brave men who failed to survive the struggle were readily “worthy of the highest.” — Author

U.S. AND CANADIAN WARS MEXICAN WAR, 1846-48 Daniel McCleary, Miami 1844: The first member of the Fraternity to die in a U.S. war — June 23, 1847, at Vera Cruz, Mexico; a chapter brother wrote that it has become known that “some of the brethren have been winning laurels at the storming of Monterey;” later, The Beta Theta Pi reported that McCleary had “won high distinction as a daring soldier, the country ringing with praises for his heroic deeds; yellow fever carried him off at Vera Cruz while he was at the front”
U.S. CIVIL WAR, 1861-65 The United States “War Between the States” caused the greatest crisis in the young history of Beta Theta Pi. This, the most tragic of all U.S. wars with the greatest loss of life, an estimated 750,000 deaths, threatened the life of more than half of the 24 chapters in existence in 1860, with the functioning chapters being reduced to 11 by 1864. In many circumstances, military engagements found brothers on both sides of the battle, sometimes young men who knew each other because they were from the same chapter, e.g., Joel Allan Battle, Miami 1859, and John Calvin Lewis, Miami 1860, page 170. Among the founders, Michael Clarkson Ryan was a Union officer, while John Holt Duncan and Thomas Boston Gordon served the Confederacy. Records show that the Fraternity had more men in uniform than did any other fraternity — 347 among the Union troops and 337 in the Army of the Confederacy. By 1861, more than one-half of the Fraternity’s membership were combatants. It should also be noted that Beta Theta Pi was the quickest to reestablish its chapters and put aside its North-South differences. Some 6,300 Betas served, among them four generals with the North, and four with the South. On the Northern side, all were brigadier generals: Joshua T. Owen, Washington & Jefferson, 1845, Halbert E. Paine, Western Ontario 1845, Joshua H. Bates, Cincinnati

POEM FROM JAY LYNN TORREY’S 1912 HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK His name is Colonel Torrey, you've heard his name before; And the story of his fame has been told from door to door. In the Spanish War he fought, and he did his duty well; And when in the midst of battle he'd charge with his men pell-mell, And now he's after the capitol, we hope he'll win his task, For with the capitol at Fruitville, nothing better could we ask. He offered a million dollars, and a great many acres of land, So let us all to him extend a warm welcome hand; For he's doing his best for the Ozarks, the best spot in world, And soon the flag of the capitol will over it be unfurled. — Andrew Carmichael, Class of 1912

KOREAN WAR, 1950-53 There was little appetite for a new war so soon after World War II had drained the nation of a generation of young men. As a result, when the small army of U.S. and South Korean troops were attacked by neighbors to the North, the U.S. had no alternative but to reinforce the beleaguered forces being driven steadily to the southern tip of the peninsula. As President Harry Truman was reluctant to secure a congressional declaration of war, there was frequent reference to the three-year war as the “Korean Conflict,” much to the chagrin, often anger, of those involved, who believed that they were as much in a shooting war as were those in any other wars. Almost half as many U.S. troops died in the three-year war as were killed in the Vietnam War — many during the frigid counterattack by Chinese troops near North Korea’s northern border. In all, only 25 Betas are known to have died in combat; however, others are still unaccounted for, i.e., missing in action. The tragedy of this distant conflict is that almost 7,900 Americans are still unaccounted for in this 65-year-old war.

U.S. ACTION IN LEBANON: “OPERATION BLUE BAT” In 1958, a virtual holy war broke out in Lebanon as Christians and Muslims, resulting in a request from pro-Western Lebanese President Camille Chamoun for assistance from U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who responded by authorizing Operation Blue Bat on July 15, 1958. It was the first application of the Eisenhower Doctrine, authorizing intervention to protect regimes threatened by international communism. In all, the operation involved some 14,000 troops, including 8,500 U.S. Army personnel. A beach landing by 5,670 Marines, supported by a fleet of 70 ships and 40,000 sailors. The result was brief, and successful, with minimum loss of life. Richard Thumm Dieterich, Illinois 1956. Lieutenant, j.g., Dieterich died when his Navy jet crashed near Beirut; flying from the USS Essex, he was part of the 6th Fleet
VIETNAM WAR, 1965-75 This controversial war proved to be a futile involvement that lasted through five U.S. presidents for 20 years (1954-75), depending on when the creeping increase in involvement is measured. Strong opposition in Congress was led by Senator Mark O. Hatfield, Willamette 1943, which earned him alienation from his own party. He likewise stood against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, 2001-14. Of the 58,000 Americans to die in Vietnam, 28 were reported as Betas. There were believed to be more, yet unreported, fatalities.

IRAN HOSTAGE CRISIS, 1979-81 The Iran hostage crisis (occupation of the U.S. Embassy) was a diplomatic crisis between Iran and the U.S. in which 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981, after a group of Islamist students and militants took over the Embassy in Tehran in support of the Iranian Revolution. The episode reached a climax when, after failed attempts to negotiate a release, the United States military attempted a rescue operation off the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. On April 24, 1980, Operation Eagle Claw resulted in a failed mission, the deaths of eight U.S. servicemen, one Iranian civilian and the destruction of two aircraft. The crisis concluded when the embattled embassy staff were freed on the day newly elected President Ronald Reagan took office. James H. Kyle, Kansas State 1954: Colonel, USAF; the on-scene commander of the failed attempt to rescue the imprisoned Tehran embassy staff, wrote of his experience Thomas E.

GULF WAR, 1991, “OPERATION DESERT SHIELD” A coalition force from 34 nations, led by the U.S. against Iraq, was in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, which brought international condemnation and economic sanctions by the United Nations.

The conflict began with intense aerial action on January 17, 1991, followed by a ground assault five days later. The victory was decisive, Iraqi forces were expelled from Kuwait and a cease-fire was declared after 100 hours. Jerry M. Blesch, Centre 1960: Skipper of the USS Wisconsin during “Operation Desert Shield;” Captain Blesch fired his 16-inch guns on Iraqi troops during the brief but effective campaign; Beta Theta Pi General Secretary, 1995-2001; Shepardson Award, 2004 Donald L.

The War in Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001, when the armed forces of the U.S., Britain, Australia, France and the Afghan United Front launched Operation Enduring Freedom. The U.S. organized the operation in response to the terrorist attacks on New York City, Washington, DC, and Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. The Taliban protected al Qaeda and had refused to arrest Osama bin Laden for his ordering of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. War was later declared by the U.S. and allies on Iraq, alleged to be stockpiling “weapons of mass destruction.” Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy Seals in a night raid, Operation Neptune Spear, on May 2, 2011. The war in Iraq concluded in August 2010; the war in Afghanistan officially ended on December 31, 2014.

Chapter 7 Betas of Achievement in Literature, Journalism, Advertising and Public Relations Narrowing down the list of the many fine journalists, writers and authors in this chapter down to one outstanding Beta to feature on this page was difficult. Sprinkled throughout our 150 years are outstanding men with proven talent, from reporting daily events to recording history and composing fiction. There are the authors of familiar books: A River Runs Through It and Mutiny on the Bounty, or M*A*S*H and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Maybe you’ve even heard of the 19th century’s “chief justice of poetry,” Sam Walter Foss (see “Poets” chapter 14, page 381) or Willard Parks King, composer of the familiar childhood chant, “Eenie meenie minee moe . . .,” (see chapter 14, page 390)
Byron E. (Barney) Calame, Missouri 1961 Barney Calame was deputy managing editor of The Wall Street Journal, the prestigious “bible” of the financial world. His responsibilities included newspaper-wide quality control and taking charge of The Journal in the absence of the managing editor. Calame joined The Journal in 1965 as a reporter in the New York bureau and covered the real estate and construction beats. He transferred to the Los Angeles bureau in 1967 and moved to the Washington bureau in 1969, where he covered labor and law enforcement. In 1974, Calame was named Pittsburgh bureau chief. He returned to Los Angeles as bureau chief in 1978, and in 1985, became assistant managing editor in charge of West Coast coverage. He returned to New York as a senior editor in 1987, and in 1992, he became the deputy managing editor, retiring from The Journal in 2004 after 39 years. “When I was named managing editor,” said Paul Steiger, “there was only one choice to be deputy managing editor — Barney. He’s more sensitive to ethics issues than anyone I’ve ever known.” The Society of American Business Editors and Writers honored Calame in 2002 with its Distinguished Achievement award, Byron E. (Barney) Calame citing his tireless efforts on behalf of The
222
BETAS OF ACHIEVEMENT II
Wall Street Journal and business journalism in general. He was president of the 3,200member National Organization of Business Journalists, 2000-01. Calame is the recipient of a 1996 Faculty-Alumni award from his alma mater, and was its Thomas Jefferson Distinguished Visiting Lecturer in 1997. He was a panelist on Bill Moyers’ PBS series, Genesis. A Living Conversation, in 1996. He received the Fraternity’s Oxford Cup in 2004. A native of Appleton, Missouri, Calame received a bachelors degree in journalism from the University of Missouri’s distinguished school of journalism and a masters degree in political science from the University of Maryland. As an undergraduate, he was president of Zeta Phi Chapter of Beta Theta Pi. “Being chapter president taught me a lot about leadership,” he said in an interview with The Beta Theta Pi in 1996. “Trying to help lead a group of your peers with whom you live, work and play is an especially tough challenge. You can’t play games or fool anyone because they know you too well.” Calame also was president of the Student Union Activities Board, regional president of the Association of College Student Unions, president of the Journalism School’s Senior Class and commander of the Naval ROTC Battalion. He was a member of Kappa Tau Alpha (journalism), Omicron Delta Kappa and Mystical Seven honoraries and was named Sigma Delta Xi’s “Outstanding Male Graduate.” Calame served in the U.S. Navy, 1961-65, as an officer on a minesweeper that was part of the first division assigned to duty in South Vietnam, and later as a public information officer in Washington. He is married to Kathryn Calame, a professor of biochemistry and molecular biophysics and of microbiology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. They have two grown children. — Thomas C. Olver, Central Michigan 1998, editor emeritus, The Beta Theta Pi Calame accepted a position with the New York Times as public editor, 2005-07, which proved to be controversial over his assertions that the Times executive editor and publisher had “stonewalled” on a story which was later found to be held up before the 2004 presidential election.

“UNSULLIED AND UNFALTERING” Francis W. Shepardson, Denison 1882/Brown 1883, was a “keen student of the words in the English language and knew how to use them eloquently,” wrote K. Warren Fawcett, Minnesota 1926, the Fraternity’s historian-archivist in 1966, in The Beta Theta Pi. According to Fawcett, editor of the Beta magazine, 1968-76, “Shep” asked readers of the magazine to consider the words ‘unsullied’ and ‘unfaltering’ as used in the statement of the objects and purposes of Beta Theta Pi appearing in The Code of the Fraternity. This was a startling proposal because, up to that time, everything pertaining to the Fraternity was secret; however, the convention approved the proposal, and a special ritual was adopted and the constitution was printed and has since been available to anyone as The Code of Beta Theta Pi. Hence, the current edition reads: “ . . . mutual assistance in the honorable labors and aspirations of life, unsullied friendship and unfaltering fidelity as objects worthy of the highest aim and purpose of associated efforts. . . .” Shepardson reminded his brothers that friendship, to be lasting, must be unsullied. Sully (as a verb): “To injure the brightness or purity of; soil; defile; tarnish. Sully (as a noun): Anything that tarnishes; a stain; sport; blemish.” — The Beta Theta Pi, March 1966, page 301

GEORGE DUNLAP: BETA WITH HIGH BUSINESS STANDARDS Typical of his unusually (high) business standards was a story related by author Charles Sheldon in The New York Times: Sheldon told the story of a stranger knocking at his door in Omaha, Nebraska. After introducing himself, George Dunlap (Wooster 1886) explained that he had published several hundred thousand copies of Sheldon’s best-seller In His Steps and that his long trip from New York was occasioned by his surprise that no royalties had been paid to the author. Sheldon wryly told him that nothing had been earned because of an error he had made in the copyright application. Dunlap immediately said his firm had no intention of profiting by such a mistake. A check in full followed this visit which Sheldon described as the only one received from any publisher, large enough for a comfortable living in his old age. — The Beta Theta Pi, January 1957, page 257

JUSTICE AND LAW
257
Chapter 8 Betas of Achievement in Justice and the Law Seven of the eight founders of Beta Theta Pi studied for the law after graduation. At the time, the legal profession was considered to be the best route to respectability and a good income. Indeed, many lawyers went on to pursue political careers, indicated by the many Betas who served in state legislatures and the U.S. Congress during the latter half of the 19th century. The epitome of the law during the first 100 years of the Fraterntiy was as a judge, and the highest court in the land was the U.S. Supreme Court. Eight U.S. Betas and a Canadian Beta served on the highest courts in their countries. Indeed, in 1911, four Beta brothers served on the U.S. Supreme Court at the same time. And those found to have served on lower courts consume 14 pages of this chapter. Further, John N.Y. Turner, British Columbia 1949, studied the law leading to his becoming Prime Minister of Canada, 1984. None, possibly, achieved such high esteem and warm regard as the longest-serving U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice William O. Douglas, Whitman 1920, whose term was a record 36 years, 7 months (1939-75).
William O. Douglas, Whitman 1920 LONGEST-SERVING JUSTICE ON THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
Justice Douglas retains the record as the longestserving jurist on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Dedicated. Resilient. Staunch. Three words that describe Douglas and his tenure as the longest-serving justice in the history of the United States Supreme Court – 36 years and 209 days. Further, throughout his service, he gave the most speeches, wrote the most opinions and dissents and authored the most books among past and present justices. In an issue of the 1975 TIME magazine, an article described Douglas as “the most doctrinaire and committed civil libertarian ever to sit on the court.” Douglas was born on October 16, 1898. Working odd jobs as a young lad and mercilessly studying in high school, he earned a scholarship to Whitman College in Walla

Walla, Washington, where he joined Gamma Zeta Chapter of Beta Theta Pi. Initiated on March 31, 1917, he became roll number 67 of the young chapter, founded one year earlier (1916.) He was student body president and participated on the debate team. After graduation, Douglas decided to move to New York to enroll in Columbia Law School. His Fraternity membership proved invaluable. He stayed with Beta brothers in New York and borrowed $75 from a Whitman brother to begin law school. He finished law school in 1925 and married Mildred Riddle shortly thereafter. Douglas joined the faculty at Columbia Law School and eventually Yale Law School, where he became an expert on commercial litigation and bankruptcy. He moved on from Yale in 1934 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) through his appointment by his personal friend and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1939, after Justice Louis D. Brandeis’ resignation, President Roosevelt nominated Douglas to the Supreme Court. After the U.S. Senate’s vote of approval (62 to 4), Douglas was sworn into office on April 17, 1939, at the age of 40 – making him one of the youngest justices ever confirmed to the Court. During his tenure on the court, Douglas achieved a number of records. He wrote more opinions and authored more books* than any other justice. Seven of his books recount his love of travel and the outdoors, while the others are memoirs, a collection of lectures and observations on the work of the Supreme Court. He became known as The Great Dissenter, referring to the record number of his dissenting opinions. Douglas’ son, William O. Douglas, Jr., Whitman ’56, was initiated into Gamma Zeta Chapter as roll number 644 on Oct. 1, 1952. Justice Douglas retired from office Nov. 12, 1975, and died Jan. 19, 1980. He received the Oxford Cup, 2011, posthumously.
JURISTS ON THE U.S. SUPREME COURT Though the fact has never been researched, Beta Theta Pi is believed to be the only fraternity to have four members on the highest U.S. court at one time. In 1911, four of the nine members of the court were Betas: Associate Justices John M. Harlan, Centre 1850; Horace H. Lurton, Cumberland 1867; Joseph R. Lamar, Bethany 1877/Washington and Lee, 1878, and Willis Van Devanter, DePauw 1881.
*WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS AND THE PERSIAN CHIEF One of Justice Douglas’ many books, some about the Supreme Court and others about travel and the outdoors, Of Men and Mountains, gained worldwide attention. While on a worldwide trip in 1950, a Persian tribal chief came to his tent and produced a copy of the book, asking for an autograph! — Joseph M. Tewinkle, Whitman 1923, former district chief of the Idaho, Whitman and Washington State District
JUSTICE AND LAW
259 In 1911, four of the nine men on the U.S. Supreme Court were Betas. From left, seated: Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes; John M. Harlan, Centre 1850: Chief Justice Edward D. White; Joseph McKenna and William D. Ray. Standing: Willis Van Devanter, DePauw 1881; Horace H. Lurton, Cumberland 1867; Charles Evans Hughes and Joseph R. Lamar, Bethany 1877/Washington and Lee, 1878 .
John Marshall Harlan, Centre 1850 Serving on the U.S. Supreme Court for more than 33 years, 1877-1911, Harlan was also known as “the great dissenter,” particularly in his belief in “equal but separate” rights for African Americans. The first Beta member of the high court, he was the first Supreme Court Justice to earn a modern law degree. In 1896, the court handed down one of its most reviled decisions, Plessy v. Ferguson, which established “separate but equal,” legitimizing Southern segregation practices. Harlan was alone in his dissent. David Josiah Brewer, Wesleyan 1855 Beginning law practice at Leavenworth, Kansas, Brewer became judge of the probate and criminal courts, 1869-70, justice on the Supreme Court of Kansas, 1870-84, and judge of the U.S. Circuit Court for Kansas, 1884-89. He was an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court for 20 years, 1890-1910; author of the unanimous opinion in Muller v. Oregon, 1908, in support of a law restricting working hours for women. Joseph Rucker Lamar, Bethany 1877/Washington 1878 Born in Ruckersville, Georgia, Lamar was considered solely responsible for the volume that revised Georgia Civil Law. He served on the Georgia Supreme Court, 19031905, where he wrote more than 200 opinions.

A BETA ANECDOTE FROM THE CIVIL WAR On a cold, dreary day in 1864, a woman approached the main portico of the White House where she was met by a gatekeeper. “Ma’am, are you in trouble?” “Yes,” she replied. “Mr. Stanton (Lincoln’s Secretary of War) won’t help my sick son.” Sensing her sorrow, the factotum led the way and tip-toed into the President’s study, where Lincoln, a shawl over his shoulders, was studying documents. “Master President,” the man said. “This lady’s in trouble an’ I brung her to you.” The woman explained that her son, a Confederate soldier, had been captured and was sick in a northern prison. She wanted permission to take him home where she could nurse him. Lincoln suggested that she see Stanton. “I’ve just come from there,” she replied. “He said, ‘All rebels should die!’” “Did he say that?” Lincoln shook his head. Then he strolled to his south window and looked over the Potomac in the direction of Bull Run. Slowly he turned and faced the woman. “If I release your sick son into your custody, will you give me your word of honor that he will never again bear arms against the Union?” “I swear it, Mr. Lincoln,” the woman said. Many years later, the woman’s son was appointed by President William Howard Taft to the Supreme Court of the United States. He was Justice Horace H. Lurton, Cumberland 1867. — Contributed by William C. Scheetz, Pennsylvania 1934, March 1943, The Beta Theta Pi, page 447

He received Canada’s Confederation Medal in 1994.

Chapter 9 Betas of Achievement in Health and Medicine The rolls of Beta Theta Pi contain many professionals prominent in the medical field — the teachers, the surgeons, the inventors, the association leaders. Few among the membership can claim prominence in the many discicplines of medical training and practice: surgical prominence, education and invention. Most deserving is Dr. Hugh E. Stephenson, Jr., Missouri 1943, who was (1) among the pioneers in open heart surgery, (2) a founder and head of a prominent medical school and (3) the inventor of a vital lifesaving tool. In addition, he was a great example and a key leader in the Fraternity he loved.
Hugh Edward Stephenson, Jr., M.D., Missouri 1943 DEVELOPER
OF THE
PORTABLE DEFIBRILLATOR
Dr. Hugh Stephenson brought to Beta Theta Pi and its Zeta Phi Chapter a legacy of dedication, devotion and sensitivity. Many said his practice of these attributes was daily. A distinguished cardio-thoracic surgeon, developer of the first portable resuscitation unit, also known as the defibrillator, he is credited with leadership in establishing a fouryear medical school at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Important in this fight was his persistent lobbying of state legislators — his performance at the 1951 hearing to establish Columbia, rather than Kansas City, as the site of Missouri’s first state-funded medical school. He was Beta Theta Pi’s president, 197881, after serving as vice president/trustee, 1973-76, and district chief, 1967-73. He also was chapter counselor, house corporation board member, chairman of the fundraising campaign for a new chapter house and faculty advisor. The major addition to the Zeta Phi Chapter house was named the Hugh E. Stephenson, Jr. Annex. He was awarded the Oxford Cup in 1997. Dr. Stephenson became a member of the faculty of the University of Missouri School of Medicine at Columbia in 1953. He received a professorship in surgery in 1956 and was chairman of the department of Dr. Hugh E. Stephenson, Jr., prominent surgeon surgery, 1956-60. In 1956, he was also named one of the and inventor of the portable defibrillator

“Ten Outstanding Young Men in the Nation.” This was during a period for which he was appointed a Markle Scholar in Academic Medicine. In 1962, he visited all of the medical schools in the United Kingdom as a Surgical Traveler of the James IV Associates of Surgery. He was chief of the Missouri Medical School’s division of general surgery, 197687, and chief of staff, 1982-94, was named John Growdon Distinguished Professor emeritus, 1987, interim dean, 1988-89, associate dean, 1989-92, and distinguished professor of surgery emeritus in 1993. He served as president of the Missouri State Surgical Society. Winning the four-year designation for the medical school resulted in the addition of an open-heart program. It made Missouri’s hospital one of only 20 facilities in the entire country where surgical heart procedures were taking place. Partly as a result of this, Hugh Stephenson is author of Immediate Care of the Acutely Ill and Injured, its second edition in 1974; Cardiac Arrest and Resuscitation, fourth edition in 1975, and Aesculpapius was a Tiger, an occasionally light-hearted reminder of how the medical school came to be. Alongside these in the John Reily Knox Library in Brennan Hall, the Beta Theta Pi Administrative Office in Oxford is Kicks That Count, 1981, a 270-page volume on the finer points of placekicking a football. For many years, witness to that research was the end zone crossbar in the family backyard where he and his son put the lessons of the book into practice. Dr. Stephenson, his wife, Sally Dickinson Stephenson, who has logged some 25 Beta Conventions herself, their Beta son Ted (Hugh Edward III, Southern Methodist); and a daughter, onetime professional tennis player, round out the family. — Robert T.

Shaw scoffed at it and launched into a tirade against “America and Americans.” . . . Dr. Riley, a mild-mannered gentleman, finally interrupted: “Mr. Shaw, you ought to be ashamed, talking that way about the place where much of your living comes from and about the people who admire you enough to support your writings.” Shaw stopped his tirade immediately. A few days later, he told a friend, “I met a chap named Riley the other day. Most convincing American ambasssador of good will I’ve ever talked to.” — The Beta Theta Pi, October 1953, page 657

Chapter 10 Betas of Achievement in Architecture, Engineering, Science and Research There may be some who can convincingly argue that a luminary such as Stephen D. Bechtel, Sr., California 1923, CEO, Bechtel Group, who was named one of the 20 “Builders & Titans of the 20th century” by TIME magazine in 1998, should have been the leader of prominence in this chapter . . . and they may be right. It was tough to overlook, however, the contributions of our Canadian brother, Robert H. Haynes, whose modern-day contributions to the science of genetics and biophysics, particularly in the study of DNA, are truly historic. Engineer or scientist? It’s a tough question, but if this is the first you’ve heard or read about Robert Haynes, you may be convinced, too.
Robert Hall Haynes, Western Ontario 1953 A Canadian geneticist and biophysicist best known for his study of DNA repair and mutagenesis Robert Hall Haynes, M.D., OC*, FRSC, was an educator, author and scientist. He was born in London, Ontario, August 27, 1931. Haynes received his primary and secondary school education in Port Colborne and Brantford respectively. His father, he said, was a modest salesman and amateur scientist who instituted his interest in chemistry and science. His mother, on the other hand, a devout Christian, suspicious of most of science, was a constant worrier over husband and son. She was convinced, for instance, that Darwin must have been very wicked. Nonetheless, while still a youth he was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up. He replied, “I want to be a biochemical physicist.” In high school, in addition to his regular courses, he studied Greek and Latin. Asked why, he said, “Because it was hard!” He graduated in mathematics and physics, BS 1953, and biophysics, PhD 1957, from the University of Western Ontario.

the mid-1950s he joined a small, but historically significant, movement of physicists into biology that had begun a few years before World War II in Germany and the United Kingdom. Haynes taught at the University of Chicago, 1958-64, and the University of CaliforniaBerkeley, 1964-68. He was appointed to the Department of Biology, York University, 1968, was chair of the department, 1968-73, and was named a University Distinguished Research Emeritus Professor of Biology in 1992. Haynes served on several research-related boards and committees during his career, including the Canadian Association for Advanced Research, the National Research Council of Canada, 1975-82, as well as chair of the Advisory Committee on Life Sciences of the National Science, Engineering and Research Council of Canada, 1985-87. He also participated on Canadian and American editorial boards and professional bodies dealing with biophysics and mutagenesis. The Genetics Society of Canada created the “Robert H. Haynes Young Scientist Award” in 1987. He was president of the 16th International Congress of Genetics, 1988. The word “ecopoiesis” was created by Haynes in 1984. It came to be widely used by writers and some proponents of terraforming and space exploration. Haynes was an associate editor of Biology and Philosophy. He traveled and lectured extensively as a visiting professor and/or research fellow around the world including the U.S.S.R., China, Saudi Arabia, Japan and elsewhere. He authored more than 100 articles in scholarly journals and was president of the Royal Society of Canada, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (FRSC) and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He died on December 23, 1998. — The Beta Theta Pi, spring 1999, page 37

Chapter 11 Betas of Achievement in the Performing Arts Much of the basis for this chapter has been drawn from the book, Betas in the Arts, 2012, augmented by articles and features in The Beta Theta Pi. The achievements in the performing arts range from music to theater to motion pictures and television. Popularity is best-known among those onstage or in front of the cameras — for example, Gunsmoke’s James Arness, Batman’s Adam West and A-Team’s George Peppard. We also acknowledge the many talented brothers who operate behind the scenes (or the cameras), e.g., on television: Emmy-winning cameraman Ted Voigtlander, Emmy-winning sports producer Geoff Mason, and Emmy-winning sports director Chet Forte. Included, too, are chapter groups of note — the Whitman Chorus of 1939, Georgia Tech’s Fowler Street Five Plus One of the 1950s and the currently popular Oklahoma State Beta Four. Beta Theta Pi has universally been characterized as “The Singing Fraternity,” witness to the Beta Song Books, published since 1847, and its many remarkable Fraternity composers and lyricists, such as Horace G. Lozier, Chicago 1894, (The Loving Cup) and Kenneth W. Rogers, Syracuse 1917, (The Sons of the Dragon).
Stephen Joshua Sondheim, Williams 1950 “FROM BOY WONDER TO BROADWAY’S ASTONISHING AGING MONARCH”
Stephen Sondheim, honored with all three of entertainment awards: Oscar, Emmy and Tony
A World-renowned composer-lyricist, Sondheim was one of five luminaries in the performing arts honored by the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in 1993. He is the only Beta to have received all three of the top honors in entertainment: the Oscar, the Emmy and the Tony awards. Described as “the man who revolutionized musical theater,” Sondheim was lyricist for West Side Story and Gypsy. He wrote the music and the lyrics for A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Company, Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, A Little Night Music, Passion and 2007’s film Sweeney Todd. Sonheim received his first Grammy nomination in 1959 for Small World. At the
326
BETAS OF ACHIEVEMENT II
49th Grammy Awards in 2007, he was one of only three honorees to receive the Trustees Award, a distinct award from the Recording Academy for individuals who have contributed significantly to the recording industry. Sondheim won the 1975 Song of the Year Grammy for “Send in the Clowns,” the featured song in the musical A Little Night Music. He gained five Tony awards (Broadway) between 1971 and 1988 and received his first Oscar (film) in 1990 for Sooner or Later plus a Pulitzer Prize for writing. Born in New York City during the Depression, he became entranced with music at an early age, playing the piano at seven. After his parents divorced, his mother moved the family to Doylestown, Pa., near the farm of a family friend, Oscar Hammerstein II, whose work in the music of South Pacific and The King and I was a guiding influence on Sondheim. In high school, Stephen wrote his first musical, By George, and studied music. Initiated in 1947, he quickly became a fixture in Zeta Chapter and on campus. He was chapter secretary and worked in school activities including The Purple Cow, a humor and literary magazine, which he served as editor. He wrote another show while at Williams, Rainbow, and directed several Beta actors. He did a fair bit of acting himself as an undergraduate, appearing in Antigone and Julius Caesar. But this Phi Beta Kappa’s best days were yet to come. He received the Hutchinson Prize, a two-year fellowship to study music and compose and was introduced to Leonard Bernstein, famous New York orchestra conductor and composer, who gave him his first big break. Bernstein wanted to do an updated version of Romeo and Juliet as a musical, so he tapped the young man to write the lyrics for West Side Story. The Sondheim name quickly became synonymous with outstanding musicial comedy. His third Broadway production, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, starred Zero Mostel and ran for 964 performances. Sondheim again took Broadway by storm in the early 1970s. His productions of Company and A Little Night Music made him the first ever to win a Tony for best composer and lyricist three years in a row. Winner of Grammys in 1984 and 1986, he has six Tony awards, including the 1979 production of Sweeney Todd. Into the Woods, starring Bernadette Peters, was his 1988 hit. At his 80th birthday, March 22, 2007, a number of speakers characterized him and his remarkable music career “from boy wonder to Broadway’s aging monarch.” Famous songs include I’m Still Here, Move On, Beautiful Girls, The Ladies Who Lunch, Does Anyone Still Wear a Hat?, Glamorous Life, Sunday, Losing My Mind, Could I Leave You?, Not a Day Goes By, Pretty Women, A Little Priest, Too Many Mornings and Send in the Clowns. — Betas in the Arts, 2012, pages 61-63

YOU’RE JUST A TALL GALOOT When the television series Gunsmoke was being prepared, producers contacted Arness to audition for the title role. Jim contacted his long-time actor friend John Wayne — with whom he’d appeared in Battleground, Hondo and Island in the Sky — for advice. Recommended the “Duke”: “It’s rough trying to compete in this business with guys like me or Gary Cooper or Gregory Peck. Their names help producers to get financial backing. But your name doesn’t mean a thing. Besides, you’re a tall galoot. Cooper’s not going to be in a film opposite you unless you’re the heavy. This means you’re going to wind up playing character parts. Don’t be a fool. Take the television series.” Jim took it. He had no regrets. It ran 20 years, one of the longest series in the history of television. — Robert J.

George Wesley Bellows, Ohio State 1905 HIS WORKS ARE FOUND IN ALL THE GREAT ART GALLERIES OF THE U.S. AND HAVE BEEN EXHIBITED IN THE MUSEUMS OF EUROPE. An artist of the National Academy of Design, George Bellows was the youngest member ever elected to the Academy. He was an honorary life member of the National Arts Club and the American Society of Painters and Sculptors. His picture, The North River, won the second Halgarten prize of the National Academy and was purchased by the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts for its permanent collection. He was also represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Toledo Museum and other prominent art collections. He was a member of the Societe Internationale des Beaux Arts des Lettres. — The Beta Theta Pi, spring 1993, pages 49, 51 Eight sketches made by Bellows in his undergraduate days at the Theta Delta Chapter (the “Beta Grip” (opposite) and a composite of seven college scenes titled “The Beta Theta Pi Suite,” (previous page) hang in the Ohio State Chapter house. He was preeminent not only as an artist but as a lithographer as well. His works are found in all the great art galleries of the U.S. and have been exhibited in the museums of Europe. Four years away from the university, having withdrawn his junior year, he was awarded the second Hallgarten Prize, N.A.D., in 1908; then followed a long list of honors awarded by various world-renowned art clubs, art academies, institutes and expositions. He was a member of the National Academy, National Institute of Arts and Letters, New Society of Artists, National Arts Club and many others. Decidedly an American painter, he never studied abroad, but his talent carried him to recognized eminence. His canvasses had a daring confidence about them which contemporaries were quick to acclaim. — Beta Lore, page 496 In “George Bellows: A Beta Legacy,” (The Beta Theta Pi, spring 1993, pages 194198), Robert T. Howard, Depauw 1937, wrote: “Born in Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 12, 1882, raised in a solid Methodist, Republican family of a respected builder, George Wesley Bellows was a rangy, athletic southpaw with a knack for drawing by the time he reached high school. He entered The Ohio State University in 1901, bringing to college the desire to follow Columbus friends into Beta Theta Pi. He was a good George Wesley Bellows, Ohio State 1905

WHY PINK AND BLUE? Often, the question is asked, “Why pink and blue for the Fraternity colors?” George M. Chandler, Michigan 1898, explained it in the The Beta Theta Pi, May 1940, page 387: “In the Beta magazine for October 1879 are these items: Fraternity Colors. By consulting the Convention proceedings it will be seen that pink and blue were adopted as Fraternity colors. In order that uniformity may be secured, a circular containing samples of suitable shades of color was sent to each chapter and many alumni.” . . . On another page, “How about that speech of Walter E. Dennison, Ohio Wesleyan 1879, on the subject of Fraternity colors? There are those who think it was just about the neatest and sweetest speech of the convention.” And now the story as Brother Dennison records it. . . . “the colors of the fraternity, pink and blue, were adopted by the convention of 1879 at Cincinnati after a hot fight near the close. Major (Wyllys C.) Ransom, Michigan 1848, then perhaps the greatest individual power in the Fraternity, espoused the royal purple and seemed to need only the ballot to determine the discussion in his favor. The Ohio Wesleyan and DePauw chapters by a mere coincidence had used the same colors, pink and blue. A heated exchange followed when Paul Wilcox, DePauw 1879, and Dennison jumped in with impassioned speeches’ opposing Major Ransom, and the DePauw-Ohio Wesleyan collaboration won the day.”

Chapter 13 Betas of Achievement in Philanthropy As in many other chapters herein, it must be noted that those included on these pages may be representative of many who are deserving. In addition, as is well known, some benefactors prefer to remain anonymous for reasons known only to them.
James A. Collins, UCLA 1950 “GOOD FORTUNE: A MATTER OF HARD WORK, ENTHUSIASM AND GOOD TIMING — BEING AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME!” While others may consider their golden years a time for quiet contemplation or general relaxation, James A. Collins, UCLA 1950, serves as the epitome of philanthropy at age 78. Collins, who retired in August 1999 as chairman of Worldwide Restaurant Concepts, Inc., is having the time of his life. The quintessential storyteller, Collins can spend hours recounting tales of his childhood, his days in the U.S. Navy, college experiences at Miami University and UCLA, and his colorful journey through the maze of fast-food service. Through all of his experiences, Collins claims that many of his accomplishments are due to good fortune. “Being in the right place at the right time has been a really big part of my success,” he explains. “The other parts are hard work and enthusiasm.” Collins attributes his strong work ethic to his father, while clearly indicating that his spirit comes from his mother. After passing his Naval exam, Collins was called for service in August, 1944. Following boot camp in Jacksonville, Florida, his next stop was Norman, Oklahoma, where he completed the V-6 program, then moved on to Miami University in the fall of 1945, where he pledged Alpha Chapter. Collins was discharged from the Navy in July, 1946, and enrolled at UCLA the following fall to be closer to home. As UCLA did not have a civil engineering degree at the time, Collins and five of his friends transferred to the University of Beta Foundation donor James A. Collins, California (Berkeley) in fall 1949, graduating from UCLA in January, 1950. In a stroke owner of KFC and Sizzler restaurants

BETAS OF ACHIEVEMENT II
of good fortune, Collins became involved with the Naval Civil Engineering Corporation and went to work for a construction company, building churches and schools. In 1952, Collins was working on building a coffee shop in Culver City, California, when Vern Goode of the Edison Company approached him. “He asked me if I had time to take a ride to San Bernadino with him the next day, where I met Dick and Maurice McDonald.” The McDonald brothers had introduced the idea of fast food service, and Collins was taken aback when he saw people lined up for 15 cent hamburgers and 10 cent drinks. Collins brought his father-in-law to witness the spectacle first-hand the following day, and within short order, the coffee shop at Centinela and Sepulveda became the “Hamburger Handout.” A second stand was opened in 1957, a third in 1958, a fourth in 1960. A friend encouraged Collins to go to Louisville, Kentucky, in 1960 to meet Colonel Sanders, who was selling franchises for take-home KFC chicken. Collins saw room for potential growth. “By 1961, the Colonel was calling me to teach new franchisees how to prepare mashed potatoes, and, by 1962, I had convinced him to hire me to be the exclusive agent in Southern California.” In just six years, Collins had established more than 240 stores. In 1967, Collins and two UCLA Betas, Walter McBee, Jr., 1952, and Rushton O. (Ross) Backer, 1951, purchased the Sizzler chain of restaurants. In November 1968, Collins Foods, International, became a public company. Opening day shares sold at $18 each and closed at $31. By the end of January, the stock was worth $46. The company grew to include some 270 Kentucky Fried Chicken stores and 700 Sizzler restaurants in the United States and Australia. The company’s name changed to Sizzler in April 1991, (later Worldwide Restaurant Concepts, Inc.), and Collins negotiated a tax-free exchange of PepsiCo shares for the US-based KFC stores. Since his retirement in 1999, Collins spends much of his time finding ways to give back to his community and provide opportunity for others. “I made my living based on the food service industry, so it is my pleasure to give back.” When driving through Venice, California, it is virtually impossible not to spot the James A. Collins Youth Center, home to the Boys and Girls Club of Venice, serving some 1,800 youth. In 2006, in honor of Nellie and John Wooden, Purdue 1932, Collins and his wife Carol provided a gift of $750,000 to the Beta Theta Pi Foundation. The couple reside in the Los Angeles area. They recently celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary. He received the Beta Theta Pi Oxford Cup in 2008. — Thomas C. Olver, Central Michigan ’98, editor emeritus, The Beta Theta Pi

POETRY
381
Chapter 14 Betas of Achievement in Poetry Most of these poems, songs and/or lyrics are taken from Beta Theta Pi songbooks through the years as well as from Beta Bards, 1936, by Francis W. Shepardson, Denison 1882/Brown 1883 (subtitled: In Sentiment and Song from Beta Hearts, 1839-1936), and Betas in the Arts, 2012. Poetry was a leading preoccupation for many Betas a century ago, few pursue the art today. As this book is dedicated to Betas of Achievement over the years, the Fraternity’s poets must be given their due. Many of the Beta’s most prominent musicologists were poets first, devoting their attention to providing Beta lyrics to favorite tunes, to wit, the Beta Marseillaise is sung to the tune of the French national anthem, The Marseillaise, and Behold the Mystic Symbol is familar to most brothers as the religious refrain Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow. Likewise, the frequently sung blessing, the Beta Doxology, rings true as God Save the Queen. Even the well-known initiation and chapter hall song, Gemma Nostra, is sung lustily to the tune of O Christmas Tree. Perhaps the most revered poem in the Fraternity is The Bridge Builder (see page 398). Composed in 1924 by Miss Will Allen Dromgoole, she wrote the rhyme as one of her works depicting the lives of people in the Cumberlands of Tennessee; yet the words seem to speak directly to the brotherhood that sprung from the small, wooded campus in Oxford, Ohio, more than 175 years ago.
Sam Walter Foss, Brown 1882* CHIEF JUSTICE OF POETRY
Sam Walter Foss: “Chief Justice of Poetry”
Enjoying a national reputation as a humorist and poet, Foss was editor of the Yankee Blade and a regular contributor to Puck, Judge and the New York Sun (188794). Considered one of America’s leading journalists of the early 20th century, he was editor of the Lynn (Massachusetts) Saturday Union (1883-87). He was one of the editors of the Boston Globe and librarian of the public library at Sommerville, Massachusetts, 1898-1922. He was the author of Back Country Poems, Whiffs from Wild Meadows, Dreams in Homespun, Songs of
BETAS OF ACHIEVEMENT II
382
War and Peace and Songs of the Average Man. He wrote the Fraternity song Good Betas Sing Forever. A Phi Beta Kappa, Foss wrote the lines for The Call of the Trumpets in 1911, first published in The Beta Theta Pi. It was said that he wrote the lines the night before he expected to undergo an operation which might have meant his death. But it is with thoughts of life that the question comes: to what are the trumpets calling us as a Fraternity? Two of the stanzas are: The trumpets were calling me over the Range, And I was a youth and was strong for the strife; And I was full fain for the new and the strange, And mad for the tumult of life. And I heard the loud trumpets that blew for the fray, In the spell of their magic and madness was dumb; And I said, “I will follow by night and day, The trumpets are calling — I come.” — Beta Life, pages 98 and 300
Foss was renowned as “the chief justice of poetry,” “the funny poet,” “the serio-humorist poet,” but mostly he was probably Beta’s “most-published poet.” Born in Candia, N.H., in 1858, he became known as the boy who read a book written by a man called Emerson. He was the class poet at Brown University. As editor of the Lynn Saturday Union (1883-87), he ran a weekly “funny column.” While there, he originated the socalled long-tailed style of poetry — enormously long lines and long words. For a year after leaving The Union, he was a freelancer and wrote humorous verse for every comic paper in the land. He wrote three or four poems a day, never less than two, and his work displayed a wonderful amount of originality and poetic genius. He wrote for a syndicate of Sunday papers, also continuing his work as editorial writer on the Boston Globe (1889-95). In a sense, he was “born a-singing.” This gift had, with a keen sense of humor, a cheering philosophy and a high aim to leave things a little better than he found them. An excerpt from this poem exemplifies his humor and personality:
THE MEN WHO MISS THE TRAIN I loaf aroun’ the depo’ jest to see the Pullman scoot, And to see the people scamper w’en they hear the engineer toot; But w’at makes the most impression on my som’w’at active brain Is the careless men who get there jest in time to miss the train. They rush down to the station, with their hair all stood on end, As the platform of the tail-end car goes whirlin’ round the bend; And some men groan an’ cry aloud, an’ some conceal their pain, W’en they find that they have got there jest in time to miss the train.
*Fraternity records are less than reliable prior to 1900. Occasionally, class dates must be extrapolated based on initiation dates, i.e., add three to five years to the initiaiton date. In other cases, e.g., Sam Foss, a reference to him in Beta Lore, page 300, offered what is believed to be the correct date — 1882.
POETRY
383 But the cars puff through the valleys, an’ go a-whirlin’ by An’ float their banners of white smoke like the flags of victory; They leap the flowin’ rivers, an’ through the tunnels grope An’ cross the Mountain of Despair to the Tableland of Hope. The Grand Trunk railroad of success, it runs through every clime, But the cars of opportunity they go on schedule time; An’ never are their brakes reversed; they won’t back up again To take the men who get there jest in time to miss the train. — Read this entire poem and others by Sam Walter Foss in Beta Bards, by Francis W. Shepardson, DePauw 1881/Brown 1882, pages 418-430
Under the headline “A New England Poet,” the Chicago Times reported: “The seriocomic poems of S.W. Foss are known wherever the English language is spoken, and yet who knows anything about Foss himself? . . . He worked his way through Brown University, standing very near one end of his class — which end he positively refuses to state. At any rate, he was ‘class poet.’ “Mr. Foss is of a retiring disposition and enjoys home life and his rollicking two-yearold boy better than club life or society. His poems are all written in his editorial office, subject to the usual interruptions. He prefers to write serio-comic rather than purely comic verse, and in his line he has no equal. The announcement that he will issue a volume of poems this fall is of interest to all lovers of good dialect verse.”
WINTER A heartless lien upon the year is held by Winter hoar; A mortgage and a heartless lien as told hereinbefore. Bright Summer now dispossessed, no more her face entrances; Gone with her chattels and effects, and her appurtenances. — Betas in the Arts, 2012, pages 75-76
Prominent in the Beta Museum, centerpiece of the Fraternity’s administrative office, Brennan Hall, in Oxford, Ohio, is this section devoted to “Songs and Poetry.” Visitors can listen to 50 Beta songs recorded in Nashville by the Beta Quartet in the mid-1990s, under the direction of Shelby Molter, Miami 1954.

Perhaps the best-known and oft-quoted of Foss’s poems was The House by the Side of the Road. This favorite, too, of Editor Thad Byrne, Washington State 1925, was printed in the December 1938 issue of The Beta Theta Pi, page 233, and reprinted in the May 1951 issue, page 492: The House by the Side of the Road There are hermit souls that live withdrawn in the place of their self-content; There are souls like stars, that dwell apart, in a fellowless firmament; There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths where highways never ran — But let me live by the side of the road and be a friend to man. Plus three more stanzas, then concluding with . . . Let me live in a house by the side of the road where the race of men go by; They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong; Then why should I sit in the scorner’s seat, or hurl the cynic’s ban? Let me live by the side of the road and be a friend to man.

POETS AND THEIR POEMS AND LYRICS Groundwork for many stories about Beta poets and lyricists must go to A.J.G. Priest, Idaho 1918. In the ninth of his 10 convention addresses, which ultimately were reprinted as the book The Great Ones, he focused on “The Hymnologists of Beta Theta Pi.” He said, “Let me begin with the beginnings of our Beta minstrelsy,” as he related the reminiscenses of William H. Gaylord, Western Reserve 1864, who recalled, “Beta Chapter often rang with the most angelic rhapsody of song.” From that chapter’s creativity came the first songbook of the Fraternity. Brother Priest went on to list all of the poets/songsters that follow, from Foss to Lozier, Seaman to Rogers, Ransom to Mills. — The Beta Theta Pi, January 1955, pages 185-191
AMHERST George Pomeroy Eastman, 1884: Congregational minister; frequent contributor of Beta poetry to The Beta Theta Pi, the last being . . . Old Chapel Row I honor with a simple ode Old Chapel Row, our Alma Mater’s first abode. Her sons have loved its comeliness, bathed in the morning’s first caress or evening’s glow. Old Chapel Row! May you abide, for many a year, the crown of this fair countryside, Continuous from the long ago, may you preserve an overfflow of truth’s bright cheer.
BELOIT Frederic Raynsford Warner, 1912: Best-known in Beta circles as the one who wrote the words to:
POETRY
385 Beta Sweetheart How would you like to be a Beta sweetheart? How would you like to wear a Beta pin? How would you like to gaze upon the diamond, gem of gems that ne’er grows dim? How would you like to share a Beta friendship, friendship that will last through life? How would you like to love a Beta always, and how would you like to be a Beta wife?
Beta Poet Horace Lozier
Note: Today’s vernacular has replaced the classic grammar; thus the introductory words to each line are often sung as “How’ja like to . . . “
CHICAGO Horace G. Lozier, 1894: Composer of Beta favorites The Loving Cup (two of the verses below), Wooglin to the Pledge, The Beta Postscript and In The Old Porch Chairs; there is a story, perhaps apocrophyl, that his father, John Hogarth Lozier, DePauw 1857, who was assembling an early Fraternity song book, suggested the need for “one more song” to complete the next edition; overnight, Horace is said to have penned The Loving Cup; Lozier was editor of the first substantial, hardback, official song book of the Fraternity in 1902; the son had major responsibility for most other editions through 1955; a sensitive, skillful poet, he composed music and played piano well; most of his finest songs, as was common practice in those days, borrowed familiar tunes for their music; a Chicago insurance man, he also wrote the words to She Wears My Beta Pin and The Banquet Hall as well as the music to We’ll Toast the Silver Grays and Beta Sires and Beta Sons, words written by his father. — Betas in the Arts, 2012, pages 52-53 The Loving Cup Oh, start the loving cup around, nor pass a brother by; We all drink from the same canteen in Beta Theta Pi. Oh, you and I can ne’er grow old while this fair cup is nigh’; Here’s life and strength, here’s health and wealth, Here’s all in phi kai phi. Oh, start the loving cup around, it speaks of other days; We see the milestones backward run when on this cup we gaze. Our grip grows strong, bold comes our song when this fair cup we raise; So pass the loving cup around and drink in Beta’s praise.
In The Old Porch Chairs When the shades of evening gather down around you, String your old guitar and strum a tune or two; There’s your Alma Mater — finest of the fine, There’s fair Beta — Beta, yours and mine.

386 Wooglin to the Pledge
Come, smoke a friendly pipe with me and drink my loyal ale, Come, tilt a chair and loaf awhile against my fireside rail; You’ll feel a kind of something warm your marrow thro’ and thro’, You’ll feel a whole lot better off when you’re a Beta, too! Chorus: Hurrah! Hurrah! come, drink of a Beta brew! It’s up to you to pledge anew and join our jolly crew!
DARTMOUTH Gail Irwin Gardner, 1914: A pioneer in cowboy poetry, Gardner was known best for The Sierry Petes; at the annual Cowboy Poetry Gathering, 1988, at Elko, Nevada, 7,500 honored the late poet, reading favorites, The Cowman’s Trouble and Arizona August
DAVIDSON William S. Joyner, 1946: While fighting beyond the Normandy beach, Private Joyner learned his brother Captain Oscar L. Joyner, Davidson 1940, had been killed in action in Normany on June 22, 1944; he wrote this tribute to his brother: For Freedom’s Sake The Norman waves roll in tonight, and ebbing, leave their flotsam beached; The bodies there, now water-logged, which yesterday were quick with life Were sacrificed unselfishly, For Freedom’s Sake. They walked the path where courage led; they knew that path would end in death Or victory, most nobly won. And so, without a backward glance, They plunged ashore to wage their war For Freedom’s Sake. Can we who live love freedom less than they who died without a word, Or hesitate to count the cost when asked by them to do our best? No, we must give, if needs, our all For Freedom’s Sake.

His lyrics include The Alumni’s Return. — Betas in the Arts, pages 51-52 The Alumni’s Return We are singing again in the dear old hall of Beta Theta Pi, Denison’s Charles Seaman Where oft we met to sing these songs in gold days gone by. Chorus: Singing tonight, we are singing tonight, singing in the dear old hall; Singing tonight, we are singing tonight, singing in the dear old hall.

And they all filled their lungs and cried: Vive la Theta Pi!
Richard R. (Misty) Shoop, 1941: Beta Day was first sung at the 132nd General Convention at Sun Valley, Idaho, in 1971. Misty had just been elected the Fraternity’s General Secretary.

Joseph Osgood Stillson, 1871: Best-known for the words to the initiation song . . .

HARVARD Chambers Baird, 1882: Perhaps one of Beta Theta Pi’s most prolific poets, Baird was also a member of Beta’s magazine committee, 1886-90; of his many Beta poems, 18 are included in Shepardson’s Beta Bards, pages 389-403. Most often read aloud is Her Gloves My sweetheart’s gloves I lightly press with loving touch and tenderness, And think so fondly of her face, her kindly heart, her winsome grace, And all the charms she does profess, for now I thankfully confess She holds my heart in sweet duress, while I have only in the place my sweetheart’s gloves. But here I suffer some distress, that though I love her none the less, I’d rather for a space and hold her hands in dear embrace Than have these crinkled gloves, I guess! — My sweetheart’s gloves!

A hundred years of Beta’s Glory? A thousand more shall sound her praise, And each new year enhance her glory; while evermore her sons upraise Exhultant songs ’til end of days. To Beta’s shrine we come with singing, our hearts and voices lifted high, We throng her courts with mighty singing, and vow to Heav’n: “Until we die We’ll love thee, Beta Theta Pi.”
Forrest Lindsay Sower, 1911: A member of both the founding local fraternity, Theta Mu Epsilon, and Beta chapter Gamma Gamma, chartered in 1914, Sower wrote words and music to several songs, including the alma mater, Mid Western Hills, of College of Idaho, located in Caldwell, Idaho, as well as Beta and Idaho and . . . Fires of True Friendship Gather together, ye most noble Greeks, while dear old Wooglin, our oracle, speaks Of honor and loyalty treasured of yore, which binds us as Betas, steadfast evermore. O Beta, dear Beta, you ever shall be enshined and revered in our fond memory; ’Round fires of true friendship we meet once again to forge the strong links of fraternity’s chain, Soft o’er our circle the diamond’s bright rays shed their pure light as we sing Beta’s praise; Love’s glow from the altar reflects in each heart to cheer and uphold us when brothers must part.
A.J. Gustin Priest, 1918: President of Beta Theta Pi, 1951-54; author of the Betapublished book, The Great Ones, a compilation of his 10 keynote speeches at Beta conventions; journalist, lawyer, humorist; among his poems and many contributions to The Beta Theta Pi, was . . . And There Were Eight of Them Eighth day of the eighth month in ’39 and eight young men who builded better than They knew, met and approved the fair design of one of them: John Reily Knox’s plan For a fraternity. Rare spirits all, seekers of truth, whatever might befall; each was Determined for himself to find the bright, straight road and never count his cost. This nation, too, was young. Its dazzling hope, it’s faith, were theirs. What struggle could be lost in their America of boundless scope? What distant goal could have been thought too high For knightly brethren of the mystic tie?

ILLINOIS Wentworth Cory Jacquin, 1918: Author of these favorite lines: In The Beta Sort O’ Way When a Brother’s spirit’s weary, and he’s feeling pretty blue, The sky seems dark and dreary and won’t let the sunshine through, It’s a great thing, fellow Betas, for a Brother just to lay His hand upon your shoulder, in the Beta Sort O’ Way. It makes you stop and think; it makes the tears to start; You feel a sort o’ flutter in the region of your heart. You just look straight in his eye, for you don’t know what to say, When hand grips into hand, in the Beta Sort O’ Way. Our Beta’s a curious compound of honey and of gall, Of cares and bitter crosses, and yet the best crown of all And Ol Wooglin must be good and kind least ways that’s what I say When eye looks into eye, in the Beta Sort O’ Way.

KNOX Francis H. Sisson, 1892, and George H. Fitch, 1897: The Beta chapter brothers, both active in the Fraternity throughout their lives, collaborated on this well-known poem: The Beta Dragon Oh, daring and shrewd are the dragon’s brood, full-armed for the battle of life; Ever eager to fight for the weak or the right, they are masters in peace or in strife. Fearless and bold as their sire of old, fast flows their blood and warm. This is their trust, to be gentle and just, and this is their safeguard from harm.
To George Fitch we are also indebted for the delightful, if lengthy poem (more than 100 stanzas, of which only 42 are printed in Beta Bards, pages 244-250) set in the familiar rhyming style of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayim, which he playfully entitled . . .
POETRY
391 The Rubaiyat of Beta Theta Pi Verse I Wake, for the sun has traveled through the night, His sleep bedecked with dreams of college bright, And now a freshman on the campus strikes A match to set his new-bought pipe alight. Verse XXIV Ah, make the most of college days you spend ’Ere to the dust of business you descend, Dust into dust to turn and thence to live, Sans song, sans stein, sans roughhouse and sans friend. Verse C Loved mystic circle, far across the plain, Singing the good old songs with might and main Oft will you form with fervent clasp while one Sighs for his’ customed place — and sighs in vain.
And one cannot leave the humor of George Fitch without enjoying his poem . . . A Fitchianism As I was going to chemistry three, along came the devil and he says to me “The Phi Delts aren’t as bad as they seem; they’ll make you captain of the fencing team.” No, devil, no, you can’t buy me; I’m as happy as I can be. Diamond bright and stars so high, I’ll be a Beta till I die. As I was boning to beat the band, along comes the devil and he takes my hand; Oh, you won’t have to work and won’t have to cram, if you just shake Beta and join Phi Gam. No, devil, no, you can’t buy me; I’m as happy as can be. Diamond bright and stars so high, I’ll be a Beta till I die. As I was cutting an eight o’clock class, along came the devil, bold as brass. “If you want to make a million, old man, just speak; it’s surely worth the money, if you live with Teke. No, devil, no, you can’t buy me; I’m as happy as I can be. Diamond bright and stars so high, I’ll be a Beta till I die.
MIAMI John Reily Knox, 1839 . . . of ever honored memory: No. 1 on the rolls of Alpha Chapter of Beta Theta Pi, Knox was known for his youthful, often romantic poetry written to his wife Isabella, about his loneliness when they were apart or on a special day, such as this one to her on Valentine’s Day . . .
Founder John Reily Knox
Then the days that are past are all with me again, And the hours that long have gone by, And the face of the absent is loveliest then, When ’tis seen by Love’s longing eye And though far in the bright sunny South I may dwell, My heart is in Greenville with sweet Isabel.

Reily and Isabel were married in 1845; on their 50th wedding anniversary, the couple were presented the silver Loving Cup now on display in the museum in Brennan Hall, the administrative office of Beta Theta Pi, Oxford; wrote Karl W. Fischer, Dickinson/ Indiana 1925, of this poem: “This valentine, ’tis not poetry, per se, but to me, it shows sentiment.” Today, all new Beta Loving Cups are patterned after the Knox original. John Calvin Lewis, 1860: No effort in rhyme has been quite so personal as the one penned by Lewis after he returned from battle in the Civil War where, as fate would have it, his chapter brother Joel Allan Battle, Miami 1859, fighting in the gray uniform, died on the same battlefield as fought by two other Beta brothers and Lewis, all in blue uniforms. The memorial runs some 80 lines, including these: Although our ranks by death were serried, the friend and brother must be buried, For in that group that loved him so, no man would dare to call him foe. Three adjutants from different states met ’round that lowly bed; Two from the North were living; one from the South lay dead. He, like one who did his duty, died believing he was right. There he lay, in princely beauty, his white brow in death was damp, Loved by foemen like a brother, buried from a Northern camp. — For the full text, see Beta Bards, 1936, pages 242-244
MICHIGAN Wyllys C. Ransom, 1848: After the Civil War, Ransom penned these words as a “coming together” — for Beta brothers who had been separated during those devastating years, 1861-65 — under the title of . . . Wooglin Forever! We are coming from the East, boys, we’re coming from the west, Shouting “Old Wooglin forever!” And the boys of Sunny Southland are coming with the rest, Shouting “Old Wooglin forever!” — Beta Bards, 1936, page 268; Betas in the Arts, page 158

While ev’ry loyal heart rejoices, the sounding chorus to prolong, The sounding chorus to prolong, In grateful praise your voices blending, to her whose radiant badge we bear, And in whose mystic rites we share, worthy our grateful praise unending. To Beta Theta Pi, a chorus ringing high, a song, a song, full loud and long To Beta Theta Pi.
NORTHWESTERN James Taft Hatfield, 1883, and Carl Beecher, 1906: The pair collaborated on a perennial favorite, The Three Stars, music by Beecher and lyrics by Hatifled: Here’s to those who share our lot, friends till death shall part; Comrades true in grief and joy, men of loyal heart. Never shall life’s weal or woe brother’s love divide; In the Battle and the storm standing side by side. Refrain Beta Theta Pi, my boys, Beta Theta Pi. Here’s to those who give us help in Beta Theta Pi.
Hatfield also wrote Benedictus, Beta Memories, Convention poem, 1891, and . . . The Beta Shrine: O Beta, thou art ever glorious, thy bonds are sweet, thy service joy! The brightness of thy radiant image years shall not dim or time destroy. Now, now, to thee we sing our praises, while we around thy altar bow; Our loyal trust, our heart’s devotion, our love and faith we pledge thee now.
OHIO Layne A. Longfellow, Ohio 1959: Highly successful public speaker; one of the U.S.’s best-loved poets; authored Visual Feast, Recipe Journal and Imaginary Menagerie; while recuperating after a serious fall injuring his back, Longfellow continued working; published a CD of his cousin’s works in Dreams That Cannot Die; in it his soothing, lowpitched voice guides the listener through a relaxing journey of the poet’s latest works
OHIO WESLEYAN Willis Oscar Robb, 1879: Robb, the dedicated Beta Theta Pi president (1903-06) and vice president/trustee (1897-1903), was also known for his lines of poesy; bestremembered is his tribute to the World War I hero, General Omar Bundy, DePauw 1881: Where Bundy Held the Paris Road Where Bundy held the Paris Road, the morning battle flamed and flowed. The Marne I passed; the line is bent! Heaven speed our succor, heavens-sent! And Europe gazed with eyes that glowed where Bundy held the Paris Road.

The Patient Frenchman counseled, “Wait! The Hun but hurries to his fate.” It was but now the battle broke — tomorrow — and the counterstroke! But pale the star of patience showed, where Bundy held the Paris road. Said Bundy to the high Command: “None of our men would understand! The Stars and Stripes are driven back? Impossible! We shall attack!” And forward line on line they strode, where Bundy held the Paris Road. And when night brought the long day’s end, the dead that filled the river-bend Were German dead. And Europe knew! And Freedom all her bugles blew; And once more French the river flowed where Bundy held the Paris road!
ST. LAWRENCE Richard Burdick Eldridge, 1915: Eldridge published two books of poetry, Remembered Music and Flowers From a Foreign Field; in Who’s Who in International Poetry Robert V. Hingre, 1981: Brother Hingre composed What My Beta Pledge Pin Means to Me during his pledgeship: What My Beta Pledge Pin Means To Me A Small, white pin with stars of gold, a grand and glorius past. It keeps in secret deeds of old, great dreams which long will last. All those who wear it do abide, by rules so just and fair. A closer house cannot be found, nor ever will be made. For built on values, firm and strong, our memory won’t fade. To carry on the Beta name, and keep its record clean. We bring our house fortune and fame, to show what pride does mean. Our pin gives strength and hope and dreams, to walk the Beta way. We celebrate with joyous screams, and sing a Beta lay. As pledges we are taught we must accept the pro and con. Although man goes from dust to dust, the Beta pin lives on.
SYRACUSE Kenneth Whitney Rogers, 1917: One of the Fraternity’s most notable composers and poets; wrote the lyrics to many favorite Beta songs as well as poems. These two are a fine example: The Sons of the Dragon The dragon is lord of the beasts of the world and the ruler of birds of the air; And Wooglin of old found him dauntless and bold as the guard of his secret lair. Our pride and our dream is to keep him supreme, and we pledge him with hands raised high; We’re the sons of the dragon, and forevermore we are guarding Beta Theta Pi!

395 Marching Along
Dreary the man who spurns his comrades, stumbling along his lonely way; Happier he who joins his brothers, singing a Beta lay. Marching along in Beta Theta Pi, marching along we’ll rend the air with song, Strong in the might of our bond fraternal, friend of the right and foe of the wrong; Following paths old Wooglin blazed for us, ’til we arrive at the shrine on high, Singing again, “Mother of Men, Hail to thee, Beta Theta Pi!”
The Beta Chorus Come brothers, swell the Beta chorus, lift your voices loud in song, Singing praise to good old Wooglin, wake the echoes loud and long! And then we’ll send the echoes to the heavens, where Beta stars are in the sky, Then sing Phi Kai Phi for Beta Theta Pi, that the diamond’s ray may light our way forever!
The Beta Stars When stars are hiding, and the moon is nowhere in the sky, And clouds are riding, and there’s no light to guide you by; If you’re a Beta, all along the way, the Beta stars will make your darkness day; For light or darkness, shine the stars of Beta Theta Pi.
In his book, The Great Ones, A.J.G. Priest, Idaho 1918, wrote a moving tribute to Brother Rogers. The following untitled poem, undiscovered until a classmate, W. Paul Eddy, Jr., Syracuse 1920, shared it in The Beta Theta Pi, June 1964, pages 465-466. The closing verse of the 11 stanzas read: Let us purge the world of hatred that there still may be a place For the brotherhood of nations, for fraternity of race, And thus glory in the spirit of a bond which cannot die, Of the miracle of friendship in old Beta Theta Pi.
William R. (Billy) Mills, 1918: The popular “Big Band” leader of the 1940-50s was devoted to Beta songs, too; of the numerous versions of I Took My Girl Out Walking, his persists; two of the four verses are: I took my girl out walking late one Saturday night, I took my girl out walking, the moon was shining bright. I asked my girl to marry me and what do you think she said, She said she would not marry me if the whole wide world were dead. Chorus: That’s why I do like-I do like-I do like-I do, do like-I do like-I do, do, do, do; Do like-I do like-I do like-I do like-I do like-I do like I do. Last night I went to see her happy as could be, Tonight she’s with another, she cares no more for me. She’s just the kind that you will find that lack sincerity Now I’ve found out, there is no doubt she’s not the one for me. Chorus

May our country find her destiny through guiding power above. Refrain: O Ruler of the Universe be near our beloved land, The United States of America; in thy glory may she stand. The voices of her heroes ring out with tones so clear; May our sacrifice be justified by a world made free from fear!

No wonder why we all observe this custom that we all preserve? It may have come from old Reserve so long ago, I’ve heard!
Blankety-Blank A way that Betas sign their notes with some strange “blankety-blanks,” Are things that started long ago to give fraternal thanks. It’s just a habit we observe; it came to us from old Reserve; Since ’44, we all preserve.

Miss Dromgoole
An old man going a lone highway Came in the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm vast, both deep and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The swollen stream was as naught to him; But he stopped when safe on the farther side And built a bridge to span the tide. Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are wasting your strength in labor here; Your journey will end with the closing day, You never again will pass this way. You’ve crossed the chasm deep and wide; Why build you this bridge at eventide?” The laborer lifted his old gray head, “Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said, “There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm which has been naught to me To that young man may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim. Good friend, I am building this bridge for him.”
— From “Building the Bridge,” 1924; by Miss Will Allen Dromgoole, who authored prose and poetry depicting the lives of people in the Cumberlands of Tennessee

Chapter 15 Betas of Achievement in Religion Unlike the first Betas of Achievement, 1914, by William Raimond Baird, Stevens 1878, this follow-up volume, 100 years later, pales in its listing of brothers in the clergy. A quick reference to those first 75 years of the Fraternity reveals that Betas were found in the service of their churches almost as often as in the legal profession. It was a reflection of the age, of course, as some professions had yet to be discovered, let alone populated. Baird himself, although a graduate of Columbia Law School and a patent attorney, was a student of languages. He contributed to The Britannica and other encyclopedias and was probably the greatest contributor to Beta Theta Pi’s individual and the Greek community’s early history, having began and published numerous editions of Baird’s Manual of American College Fraternities. Gratefully, many Betas have served their religions through the years, and they are found among university presidents, writers and authors, musicians and others.

Dr. Seth R. Brooks, St. Lawrence 1922, “Beta’s Living Legend” during the mid-20th century
When the Oxford Cup was established as a recognition for living Betas of Achievement, there was simply no question that the first to be so recognized would be Dr. Seth Rogers Brooks, “Beta’s living legend.” Ranked as one of the foremost spokesmen for the entire American fraternity system, he was the chief executive officer of Beta Theta Pi as General Secretary 195060, a decade when the Administrative Secretaries reporting to him from the Oxford office were Ralph Fey, Miami 1940, and Fred Brower, Miami 1950. He was the General Fraternity’s president for two terms, 1960-66. Beginning in 1951, each issue of The Beta Theta Pi magazine carried an essay by Dr. Brooks under the heading “Inter

Fratres.” These were reprinted often in the magazines of other Greek societies. Many of these essays as well as some of his sermons and other addresses were assembled in a 1967 volume, In Beta’s Broad Domain, published by the Fraternity. Dr. Brooks received the honorary Doctor of Divinity from Miami University at its 1955 Commencement — the morning after delivering a baccalaureate address in an outdoor Miami Field setting made memorable by his race with ominous approaching rain clouds. Pastor of the Universalist National Memorial Church in Washington, D.C., 1939 until retirement in 1979, he continued to make his home in Washington. His wife Corinne, a leader in Washington community affairs for many years, died in 1983. He was a perennially exciting speaker at Beta Conventions for many years, as recently as August, 1983, attending his 50th Convention, more than any other living Beta had attended. At the 1979 Convention, a new dimension had been added to the Beta student aid program with establishment of the Seth R. Brooks and Corinne H. Brooks Scholarship Fund. In contrast to other scholarships offering assistance to Beta undergraduates or graduate students, this fund provides for sons or daughters of Betas, wherever they might attend college; membership in Beta Theta Pi is not a requisite. Dr. Brooks’ achievements were not limited to Beta Theta Pi. One of his Inter Fratres essays titled “Freedoms Twins” gained him a Freedoms Foundation Award in 1967. St. Lawrence University, which awarded him an honorary degree in 1936 and named him recipient of its Sol Feinstone Award for “significant contributions to advance the freedom of man to pursue his individual religious beliefs” in 1979. He also received the 1966 National Interfraternity Conference Gold Medal Award and the 1969 Lambda Chi Alpha Interfraternity Service Award. Recollections and Reflections of Seth R. Brooks and Corinne H. Brooks, prepared as an oral history and edited by William Lloyd Fox, St. Lawrence 1975, was published by the board of trustees of his church in 1977. Dr. Brooks began preaching in churches near Canton before finishing theology school. He served Beta Theta Pi as a district chief and as alumni affairs commissioner for much of the next 20 years and went to Washington from a pastorate at Malden, Massachusetts. He was a member of the General Commission of the Army and Navy Chaplains 1940-46, president of the 500-member Washington Ministerial Union 1954-55 and first minister to be a member of Planned Parenthood. He participated in the 1960 White House Conference on Children and Youth. Seth, who died at age 86 on October 7, 1987, would have protested any description of that passing as “unexpected,” for he had lived like a man ready for anything. The rest of us would never have been ready to lose him. — Robert T. Howard, DePauw 1937, historian; editor, The Beta Theta Pi, 1955-63, 1976

Chapter 16 Betas of Achievement in Sports As this chapter will chronicle, perhaps the easiest Betas of Achievement to write about are the decorated and heralded athletes of the Fraternity. From Olympic gold medalists to collegiate and professional sports luminaries, there are many to include with great acclaim. Many records, medals and honors are chronicled here for the readers’ review, to wit, Wooden, Egan, Rose, Collins, Veeck, Schmidt, Allen, Finsterwald, Blaik, Justice, Goodrich, Lucas, Bowerman, to name a few. Do they have a ring of familiarity? Can you recall their first names, their sports, their achievements? Either way, the 40 pages that follow will call forth wonderful memories, some that may have been lost to you for years. Regrettably, even this tabulation includes only a handful of the Fraternity’s finest collegiate champions. To cite the many Beta collegians’ athletic prowess would require a chapter of another several score pages. Historically, for example, annual sports summaries in The Beta Theta Pi frequently consumed a dozen or more pages as tabulated by the magazine’s extremely efficient sports editors.
JOHN ROBERT WOODEN, PURDUE 1932 “THE WIZARD OF WESTWOOD” — STILL THE GREATEST BASKETBALL COACH IN COLLEGIATE HISTORY
There will surely never be another to equal the All-Everything-of-Every-Year UCLA basketball coach, John Wooden. He seems universally accepted as the most respected man in basketball history. His Oxford Cup (No. 9) was presented at a Greater Los Angeles Beta Alumni gathering on November 17, 1987. Wooden announced his retirement from active basketball coaching in 1975 after 27 years with UCLA. His 40-year record of 905 wins and 203 losses was, at the time, the winningest record in basketball history. It is a record which brackets 10 NCAA championships in his last 12 seasons; 38 straight NCAA tournament victories; an all-time NCAA consecutive-win streak of 88 in a John Wooden, the “Wizard of Westwood” row over four seasons, and 16 conference

championships. All this was part of his years at UCLA. It came like this: the last 15 games of 1970-71, all 30 games in 1971-72 all 30 in 1972-73 and 13 games of 1973-74 before the spell was broken. Spell? Wasn’t he known as The Wizard of Westwood? He remains the only person to have been inducted into the National Basketball Hall of Fame both as a player and as a coach. At Purdue, he was a three-year All-American, captain of the 1932 national championship team, 1932 Helms Foundation Player of the Year and a Helms All-Time All-American selection. The National Association of Basketball Writers named him Coach of the Year six times. Sporting News named him “Man of the Year” in 1970. Sports Illustrated called him “Sportsman of the Year” for 1973. He was California Father of the Year in 1964 and 1975. He received the Whitney Young Award from the Urban League, 1973, was the first recipient of the annual Velvet Covered Brick Award of the Layman’s Leadership Institute, 1974, and was first recipient of the annual Dr. Naismith Peach Basket Award, 1974. Wooden published two books: Practical Modern Basketball (1966) and They Call Me Coach (1972); (additional ones during retirement.) He contributed regularly to professional journals and maintained a heavy schedule of clinics, workshops and inspirational talks, stressing teamwork, discipline, conditioning, fundamentals, respect and self-respect. Following graduation, Wooden was a teacher and coach of all sports at Dayton (Kentucky) High School. Later, he moved to South Bend (Indiana) Central to teach English and coach basketball, baseball and tennis. With a wartime break as a Navy lieutenant, 1943-46, he next became athletic director and basketball/baseball coach at Indiana State Teachers College, now Indiana State University. Beta Theta Pi’s annual Institute for Men of Principle is named for John and his lifelong Beta Sweetheart Nellie Wooden, in recognition of his life achievements and remarkable mentoring skills. Countless Betas have his book Pyramid of Success on their personal shelves. — Robert T. Howard, DePauw 1937, General Fraternity historian and editor, The Beta Theta Pi, 1955-63,1976 The background for this chapter was developed by long-time sports contributor to The Beta Theta Pi, Jay Langhammer. Though not a Beta, Jay is a member of the greek community. His report in the Convention 1999 issue of the magazine ran 10 pages and supplied a wealth of history about the Fraternity’s highest achieving athletes. The author (then editor) is extremely grateful for his contributions, then and now. Indeed, some of the descriptions of the leading sports figures in each discipline are taken wordfor-word from Jay’s reporting. The author regrets not being able to include the vast number of records and deserving awards by Betas during their college careers. To do so would require a separate book to trace the sports activities covered on the two, three or more pages of “Sports Roundup” in each issue of The Beta Theta Pi. Sorry, brothers!

Smith achieved success quickly as a pro, ranking as America’s top player in 1969, 1971, 1972 and 1973; he was also the world number one player in 1971 (winning the U.S. Open) and 1972 (winning at Wimbleton); dominant force during the 1970s and early 1980s, he won 39 singles titles and 61 doubles titles; also represented the U.S. in Davis Cup play for 10 years, clinching the Cup five Tennis great Stan Smith

Knight managed the business end while Bowerman experimented with improvements in athletic footwear design. His design ideas led to the creation of a running shoe in 1966 that would ultimately be named “Cortez” in 1968, which quickly became a top-seller and remains one of Nike’s most iconic footwear designs; Bowerman’s design ideas were incorporated into many Nike shoes, but he is best-known for ruining his wife’s waffle iron in the early 1970s, experimenting with the idea of using waffle-design rubber ripples to create a new sole for footwear that Nike founder Bill Bowerman would be lightweight and provide increased traction. Bowerman’s design inspiration led to the introduction of the “Moon Shoe” in 1972, so named because the waffle tread was said to resemble the footprints left by astronauts on the moon; further refinement resulted in the “Waffle Trainer” in 1974, which helped fuel the explosive growth of Blue Ribbon Sports/Nike and helped athletes worldwide to achieve maximum performance; after graduation, he taught school for two years and then attended medical school; he taught biology while coaching football and basketball in Portland and Medford; his track teams at Medford High won many state championships. Bowerman enlisted in the Army after Pearl Harbor, and his legendary 10th Mountain Division was assigned to Naples, Italy. He negotiated a stand-down of German forces near the Brenner Pass, earning him a Silver Star and four Bronze Stars. After the war, he coached at Medford High School. The family moved to Eugene, Oregon, where his “hero,” Bill Hayward, asked him to return to the University of Oregon in 1948; his “Track Men of Oregon” won 24 NCAA individual titles and four NCAA team crowns, 1962, 1964, 1965 and 1970, and 116 top-10 NCAA finishes in 24 years as head coach. His teams boasted 33 Olympians, 38 conference champions and 64 All-Americans; at the dual track meet level, Oregon posted a 114-20 record and went undefeated in 10 seasons. Bowerman created a training program for adjusting athletes to the high altitude they experienced at the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games; he was the 1972 Munich Olympic Track and Field head coach; conducting extensive studies in the health value of jogging, in 1966, along with cardiologist W.E. Harris, he published a 90-page book, Jogging, which sold more than a million copies, igniting jogging as a popular form of exercise for men and women of all ages; member, National Distance Running Hall of Fame, USA Track and Field Hall of Fame, Oregon Sports Hall of Fame and Oregon’s Athletic Hall of Fame; Oxford Cup, posthumously, 2009, having died in 1999 at age 88.

CULTIVATION OF THE TRIGGER-FINGER, GRIF STYLE In offering pre-season dope on football, the Oklahoma Aggies’ sports publicity man, Otis Wile, Oklahoma State 1926, got a step away from the stock press-radio brochure by preparing an “Aggie Almanac.” In the 1956 version, you’ll find such yarns as this about Art Griffith, Oklahoma 1924, who retired last winter (1956) after a brilliant record as the Aggies’ wrestling coach: Griffith is a notable hunter and fisherman and is the best squirrel gun in Payne county. He can’t bear to see shells wasted, either. Wrestler Paul McDaniel kept begging the coach to take him squirrelin’. They stopped at the head of a creek fork and Grif explained the art, “Now, Paul, I’ll circle the tree. You stand motionless, and one will come edging around the limb, watching me on the other side.” Presently, McDaniel fired. Excitedly, he banged away five more times. Grif came walking back. “Okay, let’s go home,” the coach said “Why, we just got here!” says McDaniel. “No use being a hog,” Grif said. “With that one I killed and the six you shot, we got a mess.” — The Beta Theta Pi, October 1957, page 54

Chapter 17 Betas of Achievement (Sans Category) While this category may be self-explanatory, it may be worthy to note that some Betas of Achievement may not fall within the other chapters of this book. For example, Watson L. Savage, Amherst 1882, could perhaps as easily been included in the chapter on sports; however, his achievements would seem to extend beyond that specific subject. Likewise, Russell Wentworth Hauck, Missouri 1949, who spent three-and-a-half years with the CIA behind the Iron Curtain, and Neal H. Holmes, Jr., Wittenberg 1985, whose long-time leadership in the World Association of Detectives, might have readily been included elsewhere. The solution was simple: a category without definition.
CLIFFORD CILLEY GREGG, CINCINNATI 1917 HEAD OF FAMOUS FIELD MUSEUM IN CHICAGO FOR 28 YEARS As former editor of The Beta Theta Pi, Robert T.

Clifford Cilley Gregg, senior member of the Advisory Council of Former Trustees, died September 24 (1993) . . . He was 97.” Retired director of the Field Museum of Natural History, known also as the Chicago Museum of Natural History, he was known internationally as well for his leadership in young men’s organizations: president, National Council of YMCA, and member of the executive committee of the World Alliance of YMCAs. For Beta Theta Pi, he was General Secretary, 1947-50, and vice president/trustee, 1937-40, 1963-65. Educated as a medical doctor, he was an infantry officer in World War I; in World War II, he was assistant adjutant general, 6th Corps, promoted to colonel in 1942, and later was chief of the Enlisted Division of Army Ground Forces, headquartered in Washington, D.C. Gregg instituted a program at the Field Museum which gave a handful of young Betas a career boost or graduate school opportunity through employment as night watchmen. Among them, E. Leland Webber, Cincinnati 1942, Wendell Simpson, DePauw 1937; Paul Van Riper, DePauw 1938, political science professor and author who became the Fraternity’s scholarship chairman, General Secretary and vice president/trustee; Dr. Joseph G.

TALL TALE FROM THE GREAT NORTHWEST There is a story, direct from Paul Bunyan’s homeland, found in the second paragraph of a notice of a Beta barn dance held by the Spokane alumni association of the Fraternity in early 1941: “This coming party will be held February 15 at Mitcham’s Hall, an ideal setting as the hall is out in the ‘tall timber’ at the foot of mount Spokane. It has been decided that the theme of the approaching shindig will be the ‘Paul Bunyon Blow-out.’” (Historical note: Although few Betas are yet aware that recent and authentic data has been uncovered which shows that Paul Bunyon was the pledge class of the ‘lost’ chapter at Limberlost College in 1896-97 — the Winter of the Great Blizzard! Paul was the first man pledged that year, and the entire membership of actives precipitously decided that he was sufficient to be the equal of an ordinary pledge class, so no more men were taken. This, by the way, was two years before the Winter of the Blue Snow, while Paul was yet a callow college youth and a mere stripling. — Signed by a member of the highest standing and reputation, as it appeared in The Beta Theta Pi, March 1941, page 486

IN SERVICE TO BETA THETA PI
Chapter 18 Betas of Achievement in Service to Beta Theta Pi How difficulti it is, indeed impossible, to select one great Beta in each of the chapter categories as “the greatest” of many. Surely, among the Betas of yesteryear, many truly stand out above the rest: Shepardson and Baird, Robb and Sisson, plus the author’s personal recollections of greats such as Seth R. Brooks and G. Herbert Smith, even later there have been many others. The names of General Officers (trustees, district chiefs, etc.) herein contain many deserving candidates. It is impossible to name them all. Thus the author elect has elected to take an easy way out! Chosen as the Greatest Beta in Service to the Fraternity is Francis W. Shepardson, Denison 1882/Brown 1883. The reasons are simple: His impact has transcended the ages — long-serving magazine editor, longest serving President, longest serving General Secretary. No other Beta has left so great an impression. We passed his lifesize painting every day for 10 years in Brennan Hall. Not even our esteemed chapter brother A.J.G. Priest, Idaho 1918, rises to Shep’s level. Likewise, other arbitrary choices have been made. Sorry! Author’s privilege!
FRANCIS WAYLAND SHEPARDSON, DENISON 1882/BROWN 1883 “MR. BETA THETA PI” When the award* was established as a recognition for Betas of Achievement in service to the Fraternity, there was simply no question that it should be named in memory of the greatest Beta of that distinction, Francis Weyland Shepardson. Often referred to as “Mr. Beta Theta Pi,” he registered the longest service in high office as well as one of the foremost spokesmen for the entire North American fraternity system. He was a founder of the North-American

Interfraternity Conference, and holder of most of the high offices in Beta Theta Pi: General Secretary, 1907-17, president, 1918-37, and editor of The Beta Theta Pi, 1916-30, following five years on the magazine’s editorial committee. Shepardson contributed a remarkable volume of written works about Beta Theta Pi during his lengthy term of Fraternity leadership. In his 1927 edition of The Beta Book, published by the General Fraternity, he fills in gaps in Beta history since Baird’s Handbook. It was quickly followed by Beta Lore (1928), Beta Life (1929), The Beta Book, second edition (1930), The Beta Book, third edition (1935), and Beta Bards (1936.) All three of The Beta Books served as pledge manuals in their era. Beta Lore is an unusual collection of material showing that the power of sentiment was a factor in the developing history of the Fraternity. Beta Life contains sketches of chapter histories, inspirational addresses by Beta leaders and stories that reach deep into the lives of many Beta chapters. Beta Bards is the most comprehensive collection of Beta poetry and sentimental prose ever compiled. All of these significant contributions were accomplished while Shepardson was Beta’s magazine editor, General Secretary and/or President. On the afternoon of Aug. 9, 1937, he read the last galley of proofs and delivered the final copy to the printer about 5:00 p.m. Three hours later, he collapsed and died as he was en route to nearby Columbus, Ohio, to entrain for Chicago and on to Mackinac Island, Michigan, for the 98th General Convention. The book was published exactly as it left his hand. Shepardson, William Raimond Baird, Stevens 1878, and Willis O. Robb, Ohio Wesleyan 1879, initiated the move to organize a conference of editors in 1883. The group formed under the name College Fraternity Editors Association (CFEA), later renamed Fraternity Communcations Association (FCA). Shepardson was president of CFEA, 1932-33. In 1909, he and others organized the Interfraternity Conference (IFC), now known as the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC.) In private life, Shepardson was editor of the Granville (Ohio) Times, 1887-90, and an editorial writer for the Chicago Tribune (1906-10). In addition, he was a professor and later dean of the University of Chicago. Had he lived into the 1980s, Shepardson most certainly would have been the first to be conferred with both the Oxford Cup and Shepardson Award.
— Author’s Note: In 1950, an exhaustive study was made by the editor of The Beta Theta Pi, Thad Byrne, Washington State 1925, to determine the Betas (784 in total) listed in Who’s Who. The number proved to be greater, by a margin of 80, than any other fraternity. The full list consumed the entire issue of The Beta Theta Pi, May 1950. — Readers Please Note: None of the names and pages listed hereinafter will be found in the indecis. e

STAFF EDITORS, THE BETA THETA PI In 1992, the Board of Trustees decided that the duties of the editor were no longer practical for a volunteer, particularly as new and advanced printing and pre-press publishing techniques were advancing. Likewise, a specialist was needed who could deal with the many challenges of professional communication. Hence, at the urging of new Administrative Secretary Robert L. Cottrell, Miami 1954, a full-time staff member was hired.
