The Deke House at Cornell: a Concise History of the Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon, 1870-1949 / H DELTA KAPPA EPSILON FRATERNITY Delta Chi Chapter at Cornell University Office of the Alumni Historian The Deke House at Cornell A Concise History of the Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon, 1870-1949 H. William Fogle, Jr. ΔΧ of ΔΚΕ 1970 Foreword— The American college fraternity, that unique and hide-bound institution peculiar to this continent, was founded in times distant and utterly different from our own day. Firmly anchored in Victorian clay, an age certain of its destiny and trusting in its fortune, the old frat seems at odds with the rootless, ruthless high-tech steam roller of the atom bomb century. Often short of ready cash, sometimes shabby, disdained by outsiders, envied and always vulnerable, the fraternity is extravagantly endowed with that precious gold of youth: vitality, secrecy and great expectations. The nation booms, fights wars, endures hardships and grinds forward with a relentless disinterest in yesterday. Everything new is at odds with the past. Yet this one durable relic persists, struggles on, transforms, reverts, triumphs, flounders, learns, lapses... and sometimes, like the elderly brother, comfortably alone in his club chair by a tended fire, remembers. The list of necessities for a great university is long indeed: a spirited, if not brilliant faculty, a comfortable library, well equipped laboratories, a mighty football team, and even a few odd students. And let us not leave out the fraternity on this list of collegiate essentials. The earnest undergraduate may study many subjects in the great temple of learning on the hill, but he will not find an academic department giving practical instruction on the art of “getting along” in the world of men, on the science of friendship, or on the burdens of leadership. These things, great and small, will be learned at the dinner table or in the bar, on road trips to Aurora, while scrubbing floors and painting walls, in the warm twilight of a spring party, often with foolery and sometimes circumstance. This volume represents the current text covering the chapter’s history from 1870 to 1949. Circumstances permitting, the Alumni Historian hopes to someday extend the narrative to the Nineteen-nineties.

DANIEL AARON THE LEGACY OF HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW Once upon a time (and it wasn’t so long ago), the so-called “household” or “Fire-Side” poets pretty much made up what Barrett Wendell of Harvard University called “the literature of America.” Wendell devoted almost half of his still readable survey, published in 1900, to New England writers. Some of them would shortly be demoted by a new generation of critics, but at the moment, they still constituted “American literature” in the popular mind. The “Boston constellation” — that was Henry James’s term for them — had watched the country coalesce from a shaky union of states into a transcontinental nation. They had lived through the crisis of civil war and survived, loved, and honored. Multitudes recognized their bearded benevolent faces; generations of school children memorized and recited stanzas of their iconic poems. Among these hallowed men of letters, Longfellow was the most popular, the most beloved, the most revered.

    REUNION 2020 HERE IN SPIRIT Cornell celebrates its first-ever ‘virtual Reunion’ REMOTE, YET CLOSE: Student singers from the Glee Club and Chorus n June, more than 10,500 alumni from the classes of 1937 (above) join their voices on Cornelliana Night. Below: The weekend’s to 2020 participated in Reunion—a record-breaking turn­ events included (clockwise from top left) a book reading by Arts & out. Attendees enjoyed a Chimes concert, a tour of the Sciences Dean Ray Jayawardhana, reminiscences by well-known alumni I including Kate Snow ’91, a teach-in on racism and social justice, and a Botanic Gardens, class happy hours, and much more. tour of the Vet college. Opposite page: Scenes from the “virtual 5K.” And they did it all online. For the first time since World War II, Reunion wasn’t held far above Cayuga’s waters. Following the University’s transition to remote instruction and the postponement of Commencement due to the coronavirus pandemic, Alumni Affairs announced in late March that this year’s gathering would be virtual. “Initially there was some skepticism, particularly from those who had experienced an in-person Reunion,” notes Kate Freyer, director of Reunion and volunteer engage­ ment events. “It was hard to imagine those connections feeling the same way over a screen.” But by the end of the weekend, she says, the feedback was overwhelm­ ingly positive—and thanks to the virtual format, many alumni who wouldn’t have been able to travel to Ithaca for logistical or health reasons were able to participate. “While Cornellians certainly missed campus, I think this experience opened a lot of people’s eyes to the idea that connecting isn’t just in a place,” Freyer says.

  • CORNELL CLUB, NYC By
    GREAT HANGER STEAK AND GREAT HANGERS TOO THE CORNELL CLUB, NYC by Lew Toulmin SUMMARY We stayed at the Cornell Club of New York for four nights in early August 2010. The Club is about 200 yards west of Grand Central Station in a very good location. The public rooms are relatively modest but the bedrooms are excellent and more reasonably priced than most NYC reciprocal clubs. Rates for a twin room were $220 per night in the low summer season (a negotiated rate), including breakfast, rising to $302 in the fall. CLUB HISTORY AND FACILITIES The Club was founded in 1889 and rented rooms at the Royalton Hotel for a time. Subsequently the Club moved five times around Manhattan, arriving at the current location in 1985. A three year renovation of the existing building was required. The Club is in a 14 storey building at 6 East 44th Street, about a short block west of Grand Central Station, between Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue. (Unfortunately, this station does not offer train service to and from Washington, DC. The Station is a landmark in itself, with a fruit, veg and meat market, restaurants, shops, great architecture, regular tours and access to the subway.) The Club library is very modest, consisting of a couple of walls of books. There are five function rooms, with square footage totaling 3500 square feet. These rooms are all right but not gorgeous, and in fact the bedrooms are definitely nicer than the public rooms, the reverse of the usual club situation. Other Club facilities include a moderate sized gym, about 50 x 50 feet with free weights, stationery bicycles, exercise balls and treadmills.
