63 IN MEMORY OF HERBERT L. BRIDGMAN, GAMMA, 1866 Born May 30th, 1844. Died September 22nd, 1924.

Founders' Day, November 24, 1924, a memorial meeting in mem ONory of our beloved late President was held at the Lotos Club, 110 West Fifty-seventh street. New York City, under the auspices of the Execu tive Council. At the same time every chapter and alumni association lo cated outside of New York City held a similar memorial meeting which consisted of reading the speech made at the New York meeting by our new President, Earl D. Babst, Iota, '93. It is probable that there has never before been such a notable and widespread testimonial to a departed fraternity o�5cial, but every member of Psi Upsilon feels a personal loss in the death on September 22nd of President Bridgman. For the benefit of our readers, we are giving in full detail the minutes of the New York meeting. MINUTES

OF MEMORIAL MEETING OF EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

OF PSI UPSILON In Memory of Herbert L. Bridgman, Gamma, 1866 HELD AT The Lotos Club, New York City, November 24, 1924 Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, Lambda, 1882, Presiding

Dr, Butler: Brothers, the invocation will now be recited by Dr. Charles Henry Arndt, Iota, 1889. Dr, Arndt: Almighty and everlasting God, the Father of all designs, we unto Thee most and yield high hearty thanks for the wonderful grace and virtue declared in all Thy servants who have been Thy choice vassals of grace and the light of the world in their several generations. Especially do we adore name Thy holy for the life and example of Thy son and servant whose memory we have come tonight to commemorate. May his faithful devotion to duty, his steadfast loyalty to high purposes, his im- bounded kindness and generosity in thought and word and deed, inspire us to the high and holy ideals and a life of unselfish and consecrated

service. Bless, we beseech Thee, all members of our beloved fraternity, and especially the young men of our colleges. Inspire us all with the high spirit of fraternal love and devotion, that when we shall have served Thee faithfully on earth, we may receive the commendation, "Well done, good and faithful servant." We ask it all in the name of Thy Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen. "Shrine Song" led by John Barnes Wells, Pi, 1901. President Butler made the following remarks: "Brothers in Psi Upsilon, this gathering drawn from a wide circle of chapters is to do honor to the memory of a dear friend and brother, and to take pride and pleasure in the record of his life and service. "His was a rare, a rich, and a charming personality. He touched life at many points, and at many important points, always with vigor, with high intelligence, with fine purpose, and with public benefit. "His many-sided nature brought him in contact with science, explora tion, and discovery, and he pursued it with the eager zeal of an individual explorer. He had contact with letters through a chosen profession which he adored and greatly loved, and which led him into those greener and richer fields of literature, to which it is so often the open door. He touched the public interest in his good citizenship, in his constant and continued eflForts for the better government of his city, state and nation, and for the improvement of those conditions under which modern men live. He cared greatly for his contact with education and was deservedly proud of his ofiBce as regent of the University of the State of New York, where he labored for years ardently and well to strengthen and develop the educational system of the Empire State. He cared mightily for all those things and for others, but I am disposed to think that, if he could be called back and asked which, among them all, was the chief interest of his life, he would say it was his fraternity, his love for it and his life long membership of service. "Queen Mary of England used to say, after the loss of Calais, France, that, when she died, she felt sure the name of Calais would be found written upon her heart. It is hardly too much to think that the heart of our friend carried with it through the open door and down the long lane to eternity the symbol of Psi Upsilon. Nothing was nearer or dearer to his heart and his nature than that name, that association and all that they called it. It meant boyhood friendships and experience; it meant man hood's enthusiasms and ideals; it meant service and reflection of the ripen ing years. 66 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon

"He has gone out of our earthly sight carrying with him a rich and heavy burden of love and afifection, and of work well done. No one in the whole long history of the fraternity has better earned nor more richly deserves the affectionate tribute which his brothers, everywhere, so gladly pay to him tonight."

Dr, Butler: I have great pleasure in presenting Brother George B. Mallon of the Gamma, 1887, the home chapter of Brother Bridgman, who will speak on behalf of that portion of the fraternity."

Brother Mallon: Brothers, from an acquaintance that began when I was initiated in the Gamma Chapter and that ripened into a close friend ship during the many years that I was city editor of the old Sun, and which has persisted during the past six years even in Wall Street's surroimdings, I am glad of this opportunity to say very briefly something of the Gamma's appreciation of Herbert L. Bridgman. I attended the initiation at the Gamma a week ago, as I do very regularly, and I deeply regret that the chapter is not represented here tonight by Professor Edwin A. Grosvenor, initiated a just year after Brother Bridgman, known to many of you, who, with tears in his eyes, delivered an eulogy which stirred the hearts of all of the men old back more deeply than anything that has ever been said at one of our initiations; and, while he was speaking, I remembered that some ten or fifteen years ago, when Brother Bridgman returned from a trip to Bulgaria, he told me that many of the important officers of that country had been pupils of Professor Grosvenor at Robert's College in Constantinople, and that the name of Grosvenor was a passport to unusual hospitalities. "Brother Bridgman was present at the Amherst initiation a year ago for the first time since the death of his son, perhaps the greatest tragedy in his life. Some of you probably know the feeling of pride and sentiment which a father experiences at the initiation of his own son into our and can fraternity, you realize how significant this event was to Brother He told after Bridgman. me, his son's death a few years ago, that he did not dare to subject himself to the strain of going back to Gamma initiations because of the memories of his boy which they stirred. Despite these Brother heart-breaking memories, Bridgman did go back to initiation a year because the head of the ago, house, Brother Merrill, was a grandson of the man who had initiated and him, because his own grandson was to be taken into the chapter. I was seriously ill in Montclair at the time three I was and, days later, deeply touched by a letter from Brother Bridgman giving, in his vivid style, all the details of the evening with The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 67 the names of the old Gamma men back, and saying that, "having now made the plunge," he hoped again to be a regular at future initiations. He was certainly there in spirit this year. "Brother Bridgman was an exemplar of the best type of New England college men of sixty years ago, and he has been an inspiration to all of the men who have followed him in the Gamma Chapter. He was a small town boy, born on a farm within view of the college. He drew health from the air, a love of beauty from the Holyoke range and the Pelham hills, and he learned the kind of democracy that is our American ideal in a public school and in a country college. And when success came to him, he shared it generously with his native town, his college, and, above all, with his fraternity that was ever in his thoughts. Many other organizations shared in the rich resources of his judgment and his enthusiasm, but none more richly than our beloved fraternity. "Brother Bridgman and I had several mutual interests apart from Amherst and Psi U, but in our many contacts which for years were at least monthly, every conversation came around, at some stage, to the fraternity. He loved the Gamma, of course, and all Gamma men do, but I could never find that he gave any smaller degree of his love and enthu siasm to any of the other chapters. He saw Psi U as a fraternity of chapters, and within the past year he has several times come downtown to discuss with me some of the problems of our younger chapters with a detail and knowledge of the personality of the men in them that always surprised me. "Brother Bridgman's life, beginning with the simplicity of early days, carried him through college with distinction and into many different fields of intellectual and physical endeavor ranging from newspaper publishing and authorship to mountain climbing and exploration. He overcame every won the of with obstacle by energy and force of character, respect everyone whom he came in contact because no one could doubt the shining sincerity of his spirit and, when he died on the sea, which he loved, and surrounded by youth, which he personified, he had served, with distinction, his college, his fraternity, his city, his state and his country. He looked on life with his basic and ideals. a supreme confidence and never lost hold of principles traveled These certainly are the true attributes of greatness. He cheerfully achievement. He died a as the open, upward road of continued climbing were embalmed in the truly as though his body now, like Mallory's, lying eternal snows and ice of Mt. Everest's peak. "Many other Psi U's will live in the memories of Gamma men, but Herbert L. Bridgman will forever be enshrined in our hearts. If there is

� � words of Maeterlinck that as I believe a very real truth in the mystical 68 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon

"The dead are dead only when we stop thinking about them," Brother Bridgman will never die. And, in conclusion, may I say earnestly that I know he would not want to be remembered tonight with any suggestion of sorrow, for his time had come in the fullness of age, but rather that we should think of him as the happy warrior,

"the generous Spirit who, when brought Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought."

The following telegrams addressed to Brother Earl D. Babst, care of Bridgman Memorial, Lotos Club, 110 West Fifty-seventh street. New York City, from various chapters, and letters from other distinguished brothers, were read by Brother Herbert S. Houston, Omega, 1888: Chicago, 111., November 24, 1924. Hundred Psi U men now gathered at Omega Chapter House for local Bridgman Memorial send greetings to brothers assembled in New York. Our hearts are dedicated tonight to carry on as Bridgmem would have us. Omega of Psi Upsilon, Psi Upsilon Club of Chicago. Syracuse, N. Y., November 23, 1924. We realize that at a time like this words are useless in expressitig the feelings of sorrow of all Psi U's who knew and loved Brother Bridgman and now mourn his untimely departure. While others may remember him as an explorer-editor and as an outstanding man of his community, we prefer to remember him as an elder brother, always lending a helping hand. No man could have possibly been better fitted to serve as our national president for so many years, for he had embodied in him all that is best and finest in Psi U. Brother Bridgman had many friends and admirers among the alumni and active Pi brothers, for to know the man was to love him. His fine character will ever remain engraven upon the hearts of all who knew him, and to those who follow his many and noble works will become one of the Psi U's most cherished memories.

Born in the town of Amherst in 1844, he lived within the shadow of the college all his youth. As a village boy, looking forward to the college, he had chosen Psi Upsilon before the Gamma chose him. He never lived far from Amherst. He returned for almost every initiation and commence memories of ment. Amherst combined, so richly and so rarely, the home, of boyhood, of youth, of college days, and of his cherished Psi Upsilon, in which he was followed by brothers, a son and grandson. was associated with In the early years after college Mr. Bridgman as writer and as business several press associations and publishers, both

� What is still more manager a combination rare in journalism. perhaps important is that he continued as class secretary and as editor of the "Chron icles of the Class of 1866," through many series and until the "sands of life" had run. In 1877, when Mr. Bridgman was assistant to the publisher of the New York Tribune, an event occurred which must be emphasized on this

occasion�at the Xi convention he was elected to the Executive Council of the Psi Upsilon Fratemity, From the very beginning Psi Upsilon has had a simple organization. At present there are three bodies�^the chapters, the convention, and the Executive Council. For the first six years, or from 1833 to 1839, with only the Theta and Delta, there was a chapter organiza tion. The foundation of the Beta in 1839 gave birth to the idea of a convention; and after the establishment of the Sigma in 1840, a convention was held in the chapel of the University of the City of New York on October 22, 1841�attended by forty-four members. Before the delegates came the consideration of establishing a chapter at Amherst, the publication of a catalogue, the holding of an annual convention, and the system of chapter letters which still prevails. For the next sixteen years the business of the fratemity was transacted directly through the convention. Meanwhile had come the establishment of Zeta, Lambda, Kappa, Psi, Xi, and Alpha, and consequently the need of a small permanent committee to carry out the directions of the convention. This led, at the Gamma convention of 1857, to the formation of an Executive Committee composed of Morgan Dix, Lambda 1848, Henry R. Stiles, Delta 1852, and William H. L. Barnes, Beta 1855, all three of whom lived in New York, With the admission of the Upsilon, Iota, Phi, and Omega, an Executive Council of five members was instituted at the Theta convention of 1869, and so continued for nearly forty years. The slowly growing chapter roll had further additions�^the Pi, Chi, Beta Beta, Eta, Tau, Mu, Rho, and �and at the Epsilon Delta convention of 1907 the cotmcil was again enlarged, this time to ten members, who are elected by the convention in The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 75 classes for terms of five years each, and who carry out a plan of chapter visitation which still obtains. Brother Bridgman, who had been elected to the Executive Council in 1877, became president of the council in 1883 and continued in office imtil his death on September 22, 1924. This period of forty-seven years of continuous service is without parallel in the history of college fratemities. Long terms of service have, however, been characteristic of our executive body; for example, that of fourteen years of Benjamin H. Bayliss, Delta 1865; of seventeen years of Francis S. Bangs, Lambda 1878; of seventeen years of William M. Kingsley, Delta 1883; of twenty years of George Henry Fox, Upsilon 1867; of twenty-three years of George S. Coleman, Xi 1876. These are a few of those who served with Bridgman at various periods. Such terms of service are high tribute to the congeniality, dependability, good judgment and working capacity of the man we are now honoring. The speaker first met Brother Bridgman in 1893 while on his way to the Dartmouth convention. A call was made in Brooklyn at the office of the Brooklyn Standard-Union, As the delegate of the Phi and the bearer of the Wisconsin petition for the future Rho Chapter, I crossed on the old Fulton ferry, like so many hundred Psi U undergraduates and alumni, before and since, to the sanctum of this wise and sympathetic man. From the impressions of that first visit came a lifelong friendship. Brother Bridgman approached the Wisconsin subject seriously but with simplicity and directness. He gave encouragement without promises. The convention will decide, he said, and will doubtless ask for all the facts. He would merely suggest that the matter be presented accurately and briefly; especially would he suggest unreserved frankness. The Bridgman of 1893, and doubtless of 1883, was the Bridgman of 1924�even in appearance and bearing. Dignified and modest; simple and sympathetic; direct and encouraging�^the annual convention was supreme and would want all the facts. It was these characteristics and this attitude that challenged the admiration, respect and veneration of thousands of undergraduates and brought them even closer to the man in their alumni days. As the presiding officer, first at the Chi in 1884 and last at the Chi in 1924, and at practically all the conventions within memory, he solved countless parliamentary problems with a patience and impartiality which that transcends won him affection and reverence and a fraternity-wide loyalty words or record. "The convention will decide and will doubtless ask for all the facts!" Here is the creed of the Bridgman administration of Psi Upsilon for nearly readiness and he fifty years. A man of strong character, resourcefulness, 76 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon administered his office and led his associates of council after council to viewing Psi Upsilon through and for the undergraduate member. He was ever young and fresh in spirit. He never lost his undergraduate point of view. For precedent, as well as in reminiscence, he turned to his student days. No one can read those delightful letters he wrote from the "Newport," nor the tributes paid him by its officers and cadets, without feeling pride for that stout old Psi U heart which carried the ripe experence of his eighty years and the spirit of his boyhood to this "floating school," as he described it. His keen eye discerned the practical advantages of the school-ship to American shipping. Here, then, was an idealist who was intensely practical. No one could uphold his ideals more courageously, yet Brother Bridgman's straight thinking always led to practical decisions. The publication of four cata logues, of four song-books, and the revival of The Diamond were practical gains achieved under his guidance. Members of the Executive Council, year after year, have seen the secretary's papers and correspondence grow to a volume little dreamed of by the fraternity. Problems seem fairly to spring from the ground. The rapidity with which these were analyzed, precedents cited and solutions briefly provided by Brother Bridgman frequently left the rest of us in a state of bewilderment. Nor were there any telephone messages next day suggesting some qualifics|tions or amendment. He had a genius for quick decision and for condensed correspondence.

Seldom did an issue arise in which his common sense solution did not point the way to unanimous action. Such an instance, however, arose about fifteen years ago when the Inter-Fraternity Conference was formed. Psi Upsilon for a long time politely declined to join the movement on the ground that the convention alone could decide. The discussions of this question in the council were memorable, for Brother Bridgman reviewed the whole history of Psi Upsilon, its precedents and traditions, and on these he based his own opposition to entangling alliances of any kind. When finally the convention, after several years' consideration, voted to join the conference, Bridgman gallantly headed the delegation that attended from Psi Upsilon. The very first session disclosed that the conference was, for the most part, dealing with old problems that Psi Upsilon had solved years ago and with new problems which were more easily solved under the of our own guidance tradition. The vindication of Bridgman's position was complete, but, characteristically, he made no comment. Psi Upsilon is still a member of the conference�for the convention has decided. Brother Bridgman was practical even to the extent of abhorring all but the most meagre machinery of organization. Frequently he quoted the The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 77 significant words of James B. Angell, Sigma 1849, "Let us all remember that there is not much abiding power in organization merely. A society is always just what its members make it by their character; nothing more, nothing less." Always he was fearful that the Executive Council might fall into some usurpation of the powers of the convention or of the chapters. He wished to avoid even the appearance of the council being a super-power. He wanted the undergraduates�^the active members�^through the convention �^to maintain their supremacy, with merely the friendly guidance of the Executive Council, leaving stern measures to the chapter's own alumni organization. He regarded Psi Upsilon as a pure democracy, calculated to develop the undergraduate citizen, and he depended on the nearby alunmi to meet their responsibility without appeals from anyone. With the growth of the fraternity�^there are about 13,000 living members�^the relation of the Executive Council to alumni and their associations became of increasing interest. Here, again, there developed a policy of co-operation, rather in the way of good offices than of guidance. With great zest Brother Bridgman entered upon the plans of the 1907 convention for annual visits by members of the council to each chapter. Year after year he went to the chapters on his list and then picked others from the delinquents. He was always traveling. On the way to Chicago, he would say, he could easily run down to the Omicron, which he had installed in 1910. After the Amherst initiation he would have an oppor tunity to visit the Delta Delta at Williams, a chapter which always had his special interest. And so his list of visits would enlarge. On his way to Hawaii in 1916 he installed the Theta Theta at the University at Wash ington. And then there were the other college celebrations which he frequently attended as an official delegate from the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. A few days before he sailed on the "Newport" he made his last college pilgrimage to the centennial commence ment of Kenyon College, and, of course, arrived just in time for the Iota celebration which brought together the largest attendance in the history of of the the chapter. Such activity, year in and year out, in the services was near his fraternity made us little realize that this great Psi U anywhere eightieth birthday. was of thirteen When Bridgman was initiated, the fraternity composed chapters, the Iota being the baby chapter.

This is Founders' Day, November 24th. Nine years from tonight we shall be celebrating the centennial of Psi Upsilon. Our thoughts naturally turn to our fellowship�^what is the secret of its success, what insures its vitality, what is its mission? We are fortunate in having Brother Bridgman's answers to these questions, given on his eightieth birthday. May 30th last. It is contained in a reply to a letter of birthday greeting. This was the greeting: "It is seldom that youth is able to throw off its cloak of short sightedness and its absorption in the present long enough to profit by the lives and experiences of the elders. Most of us must live through the experience in order to acquire the ultimate point of view. Now and then, however, there arises in some group a life, combined with long experience and service, which portrays so obviously those ideals and thoughts which are particularly close to The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 79

the younger members of the group, that this usual barrier is broken through and knowledge of or contact with that life invariably makes for better men of the younger in the group. We of the Omega feel thankful that we should have the privilege of membership in a society which is worthy of such service and thought as you have given." This was the reply: "I take no credit for my years, nor for my service to Psi Upsilon, though I'll admit I've taken considerable pleasure in both. Neither is it timely nor becoming for one to speak in detail. If the force of example, of personal contact, to v/hich you so kindly refer, are correctly interpreted and appraised, that is still more source of satisfaction and encouragement, for I have always held that while Psi U might make good fellows, it didn't need supermen to show it the way. Harmony, unity and real living brotherhood�^no other is worth having�^it has always seemed to me are attained and retained by actions rather than words, by being rather than pretending, or telling others or permitting them to tell us what to do. So I hope we may all go on to greater and better things than even our glorious past has revealed," In these letters we see the older and the younger generation drawn together by the ties of Psi Upsilon, ordinarily finding expression only in the glance of the eye and the grip of the hand. Finally, it should be set down that hundreds of telegrams and letters

Brother Bridgman may biological us. His and his influence sense, but he still lives and is still with example 80 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon are just as much alive tonight, just as they were a few months ago, or two years ago, or back in the period when Brother Bridgman was initiated. Those who were associated with Brother Bridgman on the Executive Council of Psi Upsilon will ever feel his presence whenever they meet together. As to the minutes, I will say, Mr. President, that it always seems to me that the conventional memorial resolution tends to add a sting to death; but this, carefully prepared, is not quite out of order and meets my hearty approbation and I am sure it will meet yours. I, therefore, move its adoption and, with your approval, Mr. President, I will ask Brother Stevens to read it. Brother Edward L. Stevens, Chi 1899, read the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted by a rising vote: We, members of Psi Upsilon, are gathered on this day, dedicated to the founders of our fraternity in commemoration of their first meeting ninety-one years ago, to honor the memory of our brother, Herbert Lawrence Bridgman, Gamma '66, for forty-seven years (more than half of Psi Upsilon's existence) a member of its Executive Council, and since 1883 continuously its president. For more than forty-one years Brother Bridgman guided the destinies of Psi Upsilon. To no man, living or dead, does our fraternity owe so much. While our founders, when they instituted Psi Upsilon, laid its foundations broad and deep, they little dreamed of the wonderful building which would arise upon those foundations. The worth and beauty of that structure are largely due to Brother Bridgman. Psi Upsilon, as we know it today, is the expression of his character; so it is fitting that, with the founders of our fraternity, we now honor him, its moulder. Quick to reach the heart of things, he wrought essentials only into Psi U's structure. Despising empty form, he kept Psi U free from red tape and formalism. Democratic in all his instincts, he saw to it that our chapters should be self-reliant and the convention of our chapters, rather than the Executive Council, the supreme power. His vigor, both of body and spirit, was inspiring. He held firmly to his in the opinions, though minority, and rarely was he proven mistaken; yet, despite this tenacity, his enemies were few, while his friends were legion. We 'loved Brother Bridgman. He was at once strong and kindly, manly and wise modest, and charitable. He held up to reverence the finest tradi tions of the past. He sought increase of knowledge for the benefit of the future. He loved youth and ever met young men with sympathetic under He was a citizen a standing. good and good friend. To us he was the embodiment of Psi Upsilon's finest ideals. The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 81

To his sorrowing wife and family, our tender sympathy goes forth. Their loss is heavy. We, too, will miss him deeply; but we retain, as a beacon to guide our fraternity through all its future, its lasting memory of his wise and loyal leadership. President Butler called on Dr. Charles Henry Arndt, Iota 1889, to close the meeting with benediction. Dr. Arndt responded as follows: "The Lord bless you and keep you! "The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you! "The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace both now and forever more. Amen." The meeting adjourned at 10:25 p. m.

HEIGHTS FORUM PAYS HONOR TO BRIDGMAN The Brooklyn Heights Forum, at a meeting held last night at P. S. 15, Schermerhorn street and Third avenue, adopted a resolution expressing sorrow upon the death of Dr. Herbert L. Bridgman, regent of the University of New York and business manager of the Brooklyn Standard Union, The resolution, which was presented by William J.

MOURN BRIDGMAN'S DEATH Members of the Publishers' Association of New York City met yesterday at the Hardware No. Club, 253 Broadway, and adopted a resolution lament ing the recent death at sea on the state training ship Newport of Herbert L.

Among those present were Howard Davis, Louis Wiley, Julius Adler, Victor F. Ridder, E. S. Martin, C. C. Lane, F. A. Walker, Mason Peters and Loren B. Palmer.

were many splendid editorials and articles published at the THEREtime of Brother Bridgman's death in September, a few of which follow: HIS LAST VOYAGE (New York Times, September 27, 1924.) Herbert L. Bridgman, journalist by profession but with an avocational zest for exploration and a rare devotion to public service, has made his last voyage. He died aboard the state nautical training ship Newport, which had been making its annual summer cruise in foreign waters. He had gone on this voyage at the age of 80, but with the spirit of youth, to study at first hand this particular phase of the state's educational provision. He had in his younger days scaled difficult mountains. He had in robust middle age commanded expeditions into the Arctic regions. In approaching old age he visited the Sudan and other unfrequented parts of the earth. In recent years his journeys became less frequent, but he was busy with his mind and pen in many geographical enterprises, constantly endeavoring to lead the interest of others out into a full possession of the earth in which they live. It was his passion strong even in death. Had he lived in a period when there were greater undiscovered spaces, he would have been a Magellan or a Frobisher. As it was, he helped to keep the spirit of adventure alive in a workaday world�^the most memorable expression of it being his unflag ging zeal in support of the Peary expedition to the Pole. As a regent of the University of the State of New York, to which he gave unstintedly of his time and thought in the last seven years of his life, he was officially interested in the nautical education aboard the training ship. But he was not content to inspect the theoretical part of the training more than ashore, though his years would have excused him from doing this. He accompanied the young sailors out to sea, as Ulysses in his age; saying: "It's not too late to seek a newer world." For to him the world into the was being made new every day. How completely he entered youthful life of the ship, his letters written during the voyage give some 88 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon hint. One passage illustrates the color and feeling with which he expressed himself on occasion. On board the ship the death of the son of President Coolidge had been announced: "The cadets, listening in respectful silence, were dismissed and

broke ranks�it was all over in a minute. But it was one of those memorable minutes which last a lifetime and are never repeated. More fitting and sympathetic environment could hardly be imag ined. The new moon, swinging low in the west, silvered the wake sun around of the ship ; the afterglow of a blood-red swung almost the entire horizon; not a ripple broke the surface of the sea; sails and rigging, often noisy and unruly, now silent; the great stars, Vega almost exactly overhead, Altair over the port and Antaros over the starboard bow, and Arcturus on the quarter, with Polaris and the Great Dipper away aloft in the north, with Jupiter abeam, high in the south. Here was a poem by the Almighty on the brevity on human life and the limitations of His powers more effective than any ever written by man."

Mr. Bridgman was a citizen of a pattern to set before both youth and maturity. He not only did his particular work in the world and did it exceeding well; he also took an interest in everything that should concern the human mind. He did not fear to go beyond the old verges and push out into the unknown. He kept to the end a sympathy with children and youth, and in their behalf he gave himself to the bettering of educational conditions in the state. His last voyage, in company with youth, is a fit symbol of the whole life of this man who, with uncommon modesty, great geniality and an adventurous courage, illustrated to youth the best that one generation has to give to the next.

HERBERT L. BRIDGMAN DEAD {Printers' Ink, October 2, 1924.) "He was Bridgman of the Standard Union, Bridgman of Carlton avenue.

. . . But he was also Bridgman of the polar expedition; Bridgman, the backer of Peary; Bridgman, the tropical explorer and mountain climber; Bridgman, the lecturer, educator, patron of museums, writer of books, regent of the State University." This is but part of a tribute to the memory of Herbert L. Bridgman, business manager of the Brooklyn Standard Union, who died at the age of 80 on board the United States naval training ship Newport on Sep tember 22. The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 89

"A scholar and a � gentleman yes, but more; a romantic adventurer, with a life that read like a at novel; 80 a man with the heart of a boy. He died sailing the seas he loved so dearly." These two quotations are taken from an advertisement of A. I. Namm & Son in and Brooklyn New York Sunday newspapers of September 26. Written by Major B. H. Namm, who knew and admired Herbert L. Bridg man, they convey in brief space the picture of a varied, rich and active life. The newspapers of the country already have carried detailed accounts of the interesting and colorful life of Bridgman of world-wide acquaintance in news columns and editorial pages. Printers' Ink wants to dwell here on Bridgman of the publishing world. He saw sixty years of service in the newspaper field. His first work was with the Springfield Republican, where he became city editor. Then he went to the Associated Press, the New York Press and the New York Tribune. It was thirty-five years ago that he became business manager of the Brooklyn Standard Union. As business manager of the old New York Press he came to know the old-time advertising agents. George P. Rowell, the founder of Printers' Ink, counted Bridgman as his friend. So did J. Walter Thompson and W. W. Sharpe, and a large number of others as well. When Robert F. R. Huntsman became president and publisher of the Standard Union, Bridgman already was business manager. Huntsman saw in the manifold activities of Bridgman a strong asset to the publication� an asset that humanized the newspaper and brought friends, new blood and new thoughts. It was Huntsman who constantly encouraged Bridgman to continue in his life of world-wide contact and friendships. At the Standard Union offices, both editorial and business, Bridgman was regarded as an encyclopedia. "He could take home a bundle of out- of-town newspapers in an evening," says a co-worker who knew him well, "and return the next day with leads on stories concerning former Brooklyn people that anyone without his marvelous memory and background of Brooklyn would miss entirely." Other newspapers of the country honored him. The American News paper Publishers' Association made him president for three terms. At the time of his death he was chairman of the New York Publishers' Association, an office to which he had been elected over a number of years.

HERBERT L. BRIDGMAN (The Sun, September 27, 1924.) With the death of Herbert L. Bridgman of the Brooklyn Standard Union, American journalism loses a loved and distinguished worker and the American public a friendly, vigorous and varied personality. 90 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon

Mr. Bridgman's death was characteristic and worthy of his career. All his life a creative worker and a lover of worth-while adventure, he had shipped on the state schoolship Newport, commanded by Captain Felix Riesenberg, to make a voyage with the cadets of our merchant marine. He was stricken suddenly while apparently enjoying excellent health and while full of plans for future activity. He lived actively up to the day of his passing. Born in Amherst, Mass., in 1844, Mr. Bridgman took into journalism the active creative ability for which the genuine Yankee is famous. His first work was done on the Springfield Republican, where as city editor he helped establish the character that paper has maintained. Later with the Associated Press, the New York Press and the New York Tribune, he finally became business manager of the Brooklyn Standard Union. In journalism he won general recognition, represented by his election to the chairmanship of the New York Publishers' Association and the presidency of the American Publishers' Association. But Mr. Bridgman's interests were always larger than journalism, and his conception of life included a constant activity in other fields. He was particularly enthusiastic about outdoor life and the exploration of unknown regions. In 1897 as assistant to Professor Libbey he scaled Mesa Encantada in New Mexico. He was constantly associated with Peary in the latter's long struggle to reach the North Pole. He wrote the history of the 1894 expedition, commanded two auxiliary expeditions in 1899 and 1901, and though not on the "front," was actively assisting the indefatigable when explorer the long polar battle was finally won. Later, at the age of 60, he crossed the greater part of Africa, and in "The Sudan-Africa From Sea to Center" gave a record of his strenuous journey. Mr. Bridgman was a regent of New York University, a fellow of the American Museum of Natural History and the recipient of foreign decorations. It is men of the Bridgman type that get most out of life and give most to others. Mr. Bridgman had not lived his full round of years; he had showed how little years count as compared with energy, will and interest. And as he left much undone that would have profited by his touch, so he leaves many friends who will miss his vigor, his enthusiasm and his sanity.

HERBERT LAWRENCE BRIDGMAN (Brooklyn Standard Union, September 26, 1924.) Of all the residents of Brooklyn during recent years, the one whose death is recorded today was the best known throughout the world. This was not because of any one striking achievement, though perhaps that which will cause his name to stand the longest on the pages of history was his double service in sustaining unflaggingly the great enterprise that placed the Stars and Stripes at the North Pole and afterward in rescuing from The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 93

envious detraction the name of Peary, the discoverer, and causing truth to prevail over falsehood. The man who is now so suddenly taken from us was endowed with a marvelous catholicity of spirit, zest of life, versatility of talent and capacity for friendship. It was of the very essence of the character of Herbert Lawrence Bridgman that he should be interested in personalities, in undertakings, in all that goes to make up the life of the world; his energy carried him far in travels upon the face of the waters and over the continent; his skill in affairs made him a counsellor eagerly sought, an executive efficiently followed; his geniality and loyalty caused him to be prized as a companion and associate. Anyone who came near to him, in personal or public affairs, felt the force of his character, like to that influence which a great planet exerts on lesser bodies that approach his orbit. Now the magnificent frame and the noble countenance that so fittingly represented him in life are being borne silently over the waves back to the land of his birth and of his ancestors' birth; and it may be well said in the words of the old chronicler: "There is a prince and a great man fallen this day." Learned societies, business associates, official colleagues, men of note throughout the world, will join during the weeks to come in the expressions of regret and appreciation that fittingly mark his passing from this world. Friends in all walks of life will condole with each other upon their common loss. It is with pride and sorrow that the Standard Union, where was Mr. Bridgman's particular and beloved business home these many, many years, than pays a tribute to a comradeship so close that nothing less potent invincible death could break it. Exceeded in intimacy only by the sacred affection of the fireside, this long association now becomes a treasured can the of the memory and a happy reminiscence which alone soften pang present grief.

STATE JOINS IN TRIBUTE TO HERBERT L. BRIDGMAN (Brooklyn Standard Union, September 27, 1924.) Profoundly moved by his sudden death at sea, friends and admirers of Herbert Lawrence Bridgman, explorer, educator and business manager of the Standard Union, today continued in great numbers to express their sorrow and sense of loss. Leaders in the world of journalism, members of learned societies and men prominent in public affairs, joined in tribute to his memory. Yesterday the state Democratic convention at Syracuse passed formal resolutions and Governor Smith in person expressed official and personal regret at the loss to the state of a "faithful, careful and painstaking regent." The state school ship Newport, on which Dr. Bridgman was cruising in his capacity of regent of the University of the State of New York, will arrive here with his body Tuesday morning. Arrangements for the funeral will not be decided till that time. (Special to the Standard Union.) By Roy K. Weller. Syracuse, Sept. 27.�^The announcement of the death of Dr. Herbert L. Bridgman, member of the State Board of Regents from Brooklyn, was received with profound regret at the Democratic state convention in session here. State leaders, from Governor Alfred E. Smith down, were visibly affected by the announcement. County Leader John H. McCooey caused a resolution of sympathy to be drawn and up introduced. The reading of the resolution was the first intimation that most of the delegates had of Dr. Bridgman's death. Members of the Kings County delegation seemed to be unable to credit the news, and many of them who had personally known Dr. Bridgman sought verification of the report from the newspaper men,

"I sincerely regret to learn of the death of Dr. Bridgman," Governor Smith said. "Dr. Bridgman was a faithful, careful, painstaking regent of our university. "He gave up his time and effort to the state in the promotion of the state's greatest duty�^the education of our children. "In his death the state loses one of its loyal citizens, and speaking for it at this time, I extend heartfelt sympathy to the members of his family."

"rare character," says lunn Lieutenant-Governor George R. Lunn also expressed surprise and regret when he was told of the death of Dr. Bridgman. The announcement of the educator's death, the lieutenant-governor said, came as a great shock to him. "I knew Dr. Bridgman well," Mr. Lunn said. "I knew him when I lived in Brooklyn and I have met him many times since. He was one of those rare and strong characters who is the backbone of the American republic. His interest in public affairs was sincere. Personally, he was a loyal friend and even to those who met him as a chance acquaintance he was a charming personality. "Brooklyn has lost one of its greatest citizens. He served the State well in his capacity as a member of the State Board of Regents." County Leader M. Cooey was also visibly moved by the news. He was one of the first of the big State leaders here to express his sorrow. "I have learned with deep regret of the death of Dr. Bridgman," Mr. McCooey said. more he was "It was my privilege to have known him for than thirty years, an outstanding figure in the promotion of polar expeditions.

"I am shocked to learn of the death of Dr. Bridgman," Senator Cope land said. "He was one of the most useful citizens of our State and city. His contribution to the cause of popular education will be a lasting monu ment to his memory. He did more to make plain to the people why Polar expeditions are of human value than anybody I ever listened to. "He was interested in the social and political advancement of our State. He was a man of infinite tact and fine character. "I loved him because of his fine qualities of mind and soul which I came to appreciate through years of acquaintance." Just before Gov. Smith was presented to the delegates Mr. McCooey pre sented a resolution of sympathy which was unanimously adopted by the convention. The resolution was prepared by Congressmen John J. O'Con nor, of Manhattan, who also expressed deep regret over the news. O'Connor's resolution. Congressman O'Connor, when he was in the Assembly, was closely asso ciated with educational matters and frequently sought the advice of Regent Bridgman. "I came to know Dr. Bridgman when I was in Albany and interested in State educational matters," said the Congressman. "I learned to love him and had a great respect for his judgment. His loss to Brooklyn will be great, but no greater than it will be to the citizens of the whole State." The resolution was as follows:

"Whereas, this convention learns with profound sorrow of the death of Dr. Herbert L.

the BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE In the profession of journalism, which he entered in 1864, Dr. Bridg man achieved distinction. He was chairman of the New York Publishers' Association and president of the American Newspaper Publishers' Associa tion. As a founder of the latter organization he had survived nearly all of his associates. But more than his success in the newspaper field he had rea son to value the national and international reputation which sprang from his interest and his achievements in the sphere of geographical research. Dr. Bridgman gave freely of his time and energy to the Brooklyn In stitute's department of geography, of which he was president. He frequently talked before audiences assembled under its auspices. As a speaker on these occasions and at other times, when his membership in the Board of Regents of this State gave him a peculiar authority in the discussion of educa tion and cognate subjects, he was invariably heard with respect and profit. His was a life full of activity and singularly fruitful in worthy achievement.

THE BROOKLYN TIMES:

There was little in the aspect of the tall, quiet citizen so intimately known to so many of the leading men of this community, to suggest that his life was a continuous romance, that during those absences from The Standard Union office in which, because of his diffident and retiring manner, he was scarcely missed, he was engaged in scaling mountain peaks of great altitude, or adding new chapters to the brilliant story of Arctic exploration. Yet the history of the discovery of the Northern Pole in which he was Peary's backer, friend and aid in the field, would not be complete without his record. His death will be deplored abroad, will leave poorer the educational system of the State, will deprive Brooklyn of a citizen who has reflected great honor upon it, and will take a great and admired figure from journalism. 98 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon

MR. BRIDGMAN'S CAREER Herbert Lawrence Bridgman was born at Amherst, Mass., May 30, 1844. He was the son of Richard Baxter and Mary Nutting Bridgman. He was educated at Amherst College, the Alma Mater of President Coolidge, and throughout his long life he remained in close touch with the town of his birth and the college that educated him. He was one of the most enthusias tic of .^nherst alumni, attending every commencement ceremony and every reunion since his graduation. The same spirit of energetic loyalty made him one of the best known members of the Psi Upsilon fraternity, to which he was elected as an under graduate. He had been a member of the executive council of the fraternity since 1877 and its president since 1883. He was a member also of the Phi Beta Kappa and ex-president of the Amherst Association. On Sept. 7, 1887, Mr. Bridgman married Helen Bartlett, of New York, a gifted writer, by whom he is survived. Other survivors are Raymond L. Bridgman, of Auberndale, Mass.; Mrs. Robert Bridgman, a daughter-in-law; two grandchildren, a brother and two sisters.

After connections with papers in New- York, Washington and Springfield, Mass., he joined the staff of Frank Leslie's Weekly and later of the New York and in "Press," 1889 became business manager of The Standard Union, which he held to the position up time of his death. He was a prominent figure in national journalism. After a term as chairman of the New York Publishers' Association, he became for three terms the president of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association. Mr. was one of Bridgman the most widely traveled of men. His ac quaintanceship covered the globe, and his daily mail kept him in touch with every corner of civilization.

A POLAR ENTHUSIAST.

He was an enthusiast in the cause of polar exploration and for a long time served as secretary of the Peary Arctic Club. The late Admiral Peary was one of his most devoted and he friends, found in Mr. Bridgman an elo quent advocate and tireless cooperator. Mr. Bridgeman was historian ^ the Peary auxiliary expedition in 1894, Three later he was years assistant to Prof. Libbey in the famous scaling of the Mesa in New Mexico. Encantada, He commanded two more Peary auxili ary expeditions, aboard the Diana in 1899 and the Erik in 1901. Admiral Peary's first message to the waiting world, following his dis of the Pole in covery 1909, was addressed to Mr. Bridgman in Brooklyn. Un til the arrival of the explorer himself Mr. Bridgman bore the brunt of refu- The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 99 tation of the rival claims of Dr. Cook, and he never hesitated, in the midst of the furore over popular that arch faker, in his belief that this was an effort to cloud the glory of Peary's exploit. HIS CONVENTIONS AND JOURNEYS. Mr. Bridgeman was a delegate of the United States National Geographic the Arctic Society, Peary Club, the Explorers Club and the Arctic Club to the International Congress for the Study of the Polar Regions, held at Brus sels in 1906. In a similar capacity he attended further international gather ings of explorers at Brussels in 1908 and Rome in 1913. There were other notable journeys to the Sudan, to Bulgaria, to Hawaii. Mr. Bridgman wrote extensively of his travels and his impressions of foreign On his to Hawaii two parts. journey years ago he shipped as "freight clerk" aboard the new steamer Haleakala on its maiden voyage. TOURED AFRICA IN 1904. Mr. Bridgman's personal observation tour of Africa in 1904 resulted in the publication of his book, "The Sudan : Africa From Sea to Centre." At that time he carried with him credentials from the American and National Geographical societies. He arrived at Cairo, whence he proceeded a thousand miles south to Lado, at the head of the Nile navigation, in the company of Major Sir James J. Harrison, of Hull, England, with whom he did some big game hunting. From Lado, where they parted company, Mr. Bridgman went west to the upper Congo, where he proceeded by steamer and rail to Leopoldville, the capital of the Congo Free State. There he made a thorough study of social and political conditions and investigated the charges of maladminis tration against the Belgian officials which caused so much feeling in England. Much of his course through the Sudan and Congo was over the ground made historic by Stanley's first expedition. Mrs. Bridgman accompanied by Miss Mabel Williamson, sailed several days before Mr. Bridgman. They met at Cairo, where the women accom panied him as far as the first cataract and returned to Cairo and went east on a tour of southern India, Burma and Java, rejoining Mr. Bridgman in London the following April to return home together. FOUNDER OF ALPINE CLUB. Mr. Bridgman was one of the founders of the American Alpine Club. He was a member of the Royal American, National and Philadelphia Geo graphical societies and of the Association of American Geographers.

LAST TRIP TO HAWAII. On April 9, 1923, Dr. Bridgman arrived in Brooklyn after a seventeen weeks' journey through the Panama Canal to Southern California and the Hawaiian Islands. He returned with official replies to the messages which he bore from the University of the State of New York to the Department of Public Instruction of the Territory and from the Brooklyn Chamber of Com merce to that of Honolulu.

In addition he carried with him a communication to the local chamber of commerce from that of Hilo, second city of the islands, and honorable dis charge by the United States Shipping Commissioners as "freight clerk" at 25 cents a month, which he "collected," of the Inter-Island's new Haleakala, from Philadelphia, Feb. 17, 1923, certifying that his character, ability and seamanship were all "very good." During his stay in Honolulu, Dr. Bridgman conferred at length with Major-Gen. Charles P. Summerall, commanding the Department of Hawaii, and Admiral Edward Simpson, commanding the Pearl Harbor Naval Sta tion; Gov. Wallace R. Farrington and others. While in Honolulu he explored the active crater at Kilauea with Super intendent Boles as guide ; spent a night at the rest house 10,000 feet above sea level on the summit of Haleakala, largest crater in the world, and gave his "Peary's Conquest of the Pole" illustrated lecture in Honolulu.

And the Publisher can think of no more fitting end to the career of Herbert Bridgman than this ending on a schoolship ; for all of his long life, up to his eightieth year when he suddenly passed away, he was on a cruise of adventure and a cruise of educational service. In his newspaper activities he was essentially an educational journalist, spreading light and knowl edge always from the printed page. Then, for years he was a member of the State Board of Regents of Education in New York and built himself into the educational framework of the Empire State. Then, he went on voyages of discovery with Peary to the Far North, undertaking this venture some work when he had passed his sixtieth year. He also went out on ex peditions of travel and discovery in many other far places of the earth. And always he brought back rich cargoes of interesting experiences and observations which found their way to the printed page.

HERBERT L. BRIDGMAN So proud we are, we all, Of you, who Fostered our destiny with such love Throughout all These years! We bow To thee. And now. Near twenty thousand in the band, Heads raised, hearts bowed, and joined by hand, We sing our "Dear Old Shrine" once more, In requiem to Bridgman, Of Psi U, One who

Was so true. Spurred on, our aim, With twenty thousand strong. Inspired to greater glory and more fame, For Bridgman, gone.

Still leads us on . . , The spirit Of Psi Upsilon! Founders' Day, November 24, 1924. A. Avery Hallock, Xi '16.

Coat of Arms of Epsilon Chapter Coat of Arms of Nu Chapter TWO COLLEGES BENEFIT BY WILL OF H. L. BRIDG MAN (Chicago Tribune, October 5th, 1924.) New York, Oct. 4.�The University of the State of New York and Am herst college eventually will receive the entire estate of Herbert L. Bridg man, explorer and business manager of the Brooklyn Standard Union, whose will was filed today. Mr. Bridgman died at sea last Sept. 24, abroad the school ship Newport. The value of the estate was cloaked in the statutory phrase "over $15,000." Mr. Bridgman's will established a trust fund for the benefit of his widow and two grandchildren. During their lifetime part of the interest from the fund will go to the state university. Afterward all the fund and accumulated interest will go to the institution and Amherst college, to be used "in helping students, preferably in Amherst, who shall be in need of aid."

THE WORK OF THE HERALDRY COMMITTEE are publishing elsewhere in this issue black and white prints of ac WEcepted and appropriate designs of the coats-of-arms of the Upsilon and Nu Chapters, They are the work of Brother Clayton W. Butterfield, Pi, '11, chairman of the committee. The originals are in color. Brother Butterfield has made a great study of Psi Upsilon Heraldry and he has been spending a great amount of time in preparing these two designs and he is now working on designs for the two remaining chapters without any arms at this time�^namely the Omicron and Delta Delta. Designs have been submitted to these last two chapters after consider able correspondence and study, but as yet they have not been officially ap proved.

I THE ARMS OF THE EPSILON CHARTER Arms�Quarterly; first and fourth sable, two dexter hands hand-in-hand in fess between the Greek capital letters Psi and Upsilon, the former in chief the latter in base, or; second and third ermine, a circular chain, or. Crest�on a wreath an owl argent. Motto�In a scroll argent.

EXPLANATION OF EMBLEM ON THE EPSILON COAT-OFARMS The circular or endless chain probably needs no explanation, as its significance is quite evident. As the circle was often used to represent the unified ideal of all high ideas, the circular chain might indicate a group 103 104 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon bound or linked together around the unified ideal. To those who know the Epsilon and are familiar with its secrets and customs, the use of the endless � chain also has a special significance. The quarters bearing the chain are ermine. Metal was never placed on metal, and the chain being shown as of gold, is therefore placed on the back ground of fur. The colors of the University of California appear to good advantage in the wreath in the crest.

The Motto�Which means, "We exercise self-control," has for some time been the motto of the Epsilon and needs no further explanation. C. W. Butterfield, For the Committee,

THE ARMS OF THE NU CHAPTER Arms�Or, a beaver couchant sable, with an olive branch vert, and on a chief sable, two dexter hands, hand-in-hand, in fess between the Greek capital letters Psi and Upsilon the former on the dexter, the latter on the sinister, or. Crest�On a wreath an owl argent. Motto�In a scroll argent.

EXPLANATION OF EMBLEMS ON THE NU COAT-OF-ARMS The Nu Chapter was established after twenty years of persistent peti tioning by the local society, Chi Delta Psi. This persistency and industry of is purpose typified by the beaver, which being a Canadian animal, seems doubly appropriate. The olive branch shown with the beaver, is the emblem of victory in that it symbolizes peace. It is quite appropriately used here, as the Charter

was � finally granted just after the close of the World War ^when peace was the principal thought in the mind of every one. The Motto� Meaning "We have conquered," is we believe ideal, re as it does to the won ferring victory after the long twenty years of peti tioning. C. W. Butterfield, For the Committee,

CARL T. HATCH, XI '02, HONORED T. HATCH, Xi 1902, was recently elected Senior Vice-Commander CARLof the Army and Navy Legion of Valor of the U. S. A. This organization, in the words of General Pershing, "is unique in that in it is not membership dependent upon birth, wealth, position or influence. The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 105 but upon the performance of deeds above and beyond the call of duty for our country," The Order recruits its members from holders of the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross and the Navy Cross, all awarded for valor beyond the call of duty in the face of personal danger. The Medal of Honor is the highest award any Government can bestow on an individual, while the Distinguished Service Cross and the Navy Cross rank with the Victoria Cross of Great Britain and are awarded for valor in action against an armed enemy.

delivered by John G. Saxe at a dinner given at the Delavan House, POEMAlbany, New York, on the occasion of the initiation of his son into the Theta Chapter, by the Convention of 1863. It was again recited at Iota Chapter Banquet, June, 1924, by L. Simon- ton, Iota, '69. Dear brothers, I'm somewhat unhappy, I heard Such abuse 'tother day of an excellent word. That it roused all my wrath. I'll state you the case. There's a boy in our house with a well enough face. Not painfully handsome, you'll readily gather, Who are looking just now at the face of his father. A boy of nineteen, rather slender than strong. And in height, I may say, rather tediously long. Well, to tell you the story, a saucy yoxmg boor. Of Johnny's acquaintance came up to the door, And ringing the bell in the lordliest way. Sent up the Hibernian servant to say, "That a gintleman wanted a moment to see "Mister," giving the surname the people give me. "Bid him come to my study," I civilly said. In a minute or two Biddy popped in her head, did "Faix, it was not for yoursel that the gintleman axe, "Shure he said it was young and not old Mister Saxe." I was ne'er in my life so insulted before. With a leap and a boxmd I arrived at the door. Intending to punish the rascal who'ed saddled The epithet on me. "Erupit, skeddadled." Had I caught him I think I may say without levity, I should have lessened his chances for distinguished longevity 106 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon

But the rascal had vanished and what could I do? Am I old Mr. Saxe, I submit it to you? Is he old who can climb to the highest of attics And never complain of fatigue or rheumatics? Is he old who in spite of his fast thinning curls, Has a joke for the boys and a smile for the girls? Is he old who owes nothing to fradulent art? Above all is he old who keeps young at the heart? I rather think not, but "Quien sabe," who knows? For the bud of last evening today is a rose. And roses will fade. So in like manner when We jolly young fellows grow middle aged men. Perhaps the Good Father, it surely were kind. Makes us to our failings conveniently blind. "Know thyself," said the Grecian. A difficult task And rather too much of a mortal to ask. We all know the name of the fellow who penned it, And how he asserted, "E coelo descendit." A neat bit of Latin, which means by the by. That "Gnothi seauton" came down from the sky.

"Know thyself," but for my part my brothers, I would rather extend by acquaintance to others. As promising rather a better return. Than aught of myself I could possibly learn. To know human nature is really an art, And there are many who think that they have it by heart. Because they are keen at detecting offences, Bad motives, sly vices and wicked pretences. Let us study the rather to find out the merit. The worst and the weakest may chance to inherit, To publish the virtue that's misunderstood. And always and everywhere seek for the good.

There was poor Paddy Goldsmith, an author of note. And who has not read what poor Oliver wrote? A scholar, philosopher, writer of plays. And a poet who still wears the freshest of bays. Every dandy in town, every chambermaid Moll Could laugh at his follies and talk of poor Noll. Everyone knew he was homely and rough. And of foibles and follies had more than enough. The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 107 But it took the profoundest of sages to scan. The genius and learning that lay in the man. Sam Johnson perceived it and was free to declare There was wit and beauty and poetry there. And to fools who might sneer, he had ever this answer, "You if may laugh you will and say what you can, sir, "He's a wonderful wit and a very great man, sir."

A word for Psi Upsilon, beautiful dame. To me, young or old, she is ever the same, And I deem it tonight, the profoundest of joys, That she counts me, God bless her, as one of her boys. And here in her presence, let me say e'er we part. Believe me, dear brothers, I'm yours from the heart.

IN MEMORIAM Jeremiah K. Cady, Chi, '76. Brother Cady died Nov. 15th, at the Henrotin Hospital, Chicago, 111. He was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, and after graduating from Cornell University, he went to Chicago. From 1887 to 1909 he was a member of the architectural firm of Handy and Cady. Since then he has been in business by himself. "Jerry" Cady was a devoted member of Psi Upsilon and he was the architect for both the Rho and Omega chapter honors of the fratemity which will remain as memorials to his faith in and love for Psi U. He prac tically donated his entire services in the preparing of plans and supervising the construction of both of these chapter honors�^thereby effecting a very substantial saving for the Rho and Omega. Brother Cady also designed the cover for the first issue of the revived Diamond and has always been a loyal subscriber.

John Langdon Dearborn, Alpha, '57. Born in 1835. Died August 25, 1924. Brother Dearborn, who died at his summer home in East Gloucester, Mass., was the sole survivor of the early group of Alphans, of the period 1851-1858, described in the June number of the Diamond, p. 202. He was almost the last survivor of his class at Harvard, only one member of which out-lived him, for the short space of thirty-six days. Brother Dearborn was born at Exeter, New Hampshire, where he at tended Phillips Academy. After his graduation from Harvard University, where he was president of the Hasty Pudding Club, in common with many 108 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon of the young men of New England of his day he sought for occupation in the new and undeveloped Western coimtry. During 1857-60 he was em ployed in a bank at Rock Island, Illinois, but then returned to the East for a while, was employed on the U. S. Census 1860-61, and taugh school in New Hampshire. In 1862 he was married to Sarah A. Smith of Exeter, who died in 1906. From 1862 to 1870 he was engaged in the wholesale drug business in Boston as a member of the firm of Folsom & Dearborn. Return ing to the West, he was cashier of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad from 1870- 76, residing in St. Louis. Retiring on account of ill health, he made his home at South Manchester, Connecticut, until 1879, when he moved to Dor chester, Mass.; and later resided at 405 and 411 Marlboro St., Boston. Dur ing 1878 to 1882 he was connected with the Auditing Department of the Eastern Railroad, Boston; and from 1882 until his final withdrawal from business life he was cashier of the Massachusetts Loan and Trust Company. His four sons, Samuel S. of Boston, William L. of Havana, John and George K. Dearborn of Boston, survive him; and a grandson continues to day the family name at Harvard. The undersigned, who called upon Brother Dearborn last May, found him, in his eighty-ninth year, in full mental vigor, aboimding in humorous reminiscence and, like so many members of that earlier Alpha group, man ifesting a friendly interest in the later development and prosperity of Psi ^^^ �"' H.

Edgar L. Madsen, Phi, '27. Brother Madsen, a sophomore member of the Phi chapter, died suddenly of pneumonia on November 20th, at Ann Arbor. He was sick only three days with what appeared to be a light case of grip�and had been out for foot ball on practice Monday before he died. He was making a very good show as substitute center on team ing the and he was a very popular member of the squad. The body was brought to Chicago by his brothers and several mem bers of the Phi.

Brother H. C. Darlington, Omega, '07, represented the Psi Upsilon club of Chicago and Brother R. Burke Corcoran represented the Executive Coun cil of the fraternity. The Phi has suffered the loss of an exemplary member and the fratemity extends its sincere sympathy to the chapter and to the family of Brother Madson. The resolutions adopted and signed by the University of Michigan's football squad were as follows: This is to express to you the deep sorrow we all feel at the loss of your son. Our sorrow comes from a sense of personal loss intensely keen to every one of us. We mourn a comrade whose mind and body were immaculately clean. Whose courage and loyalty were deep and constant. Whose willingness to sacrifice self for our cause was proved day after day as he fought with us and for us, untiringly, uncomplainingly, manfully until sundown.

Whose popularity grew out of a ready smile, a hearty laugh, a level gaze, a firm hand clasp�in a word, out of essential manliness. This is the man we, his teammates and coaches, will miss so. In conveying these words of sympathy, we hope we may hearten you with the fact that your son has never done a dishonorable thing in the class room, on the campus or on the athletic field.

Rev. Clarence E. Woodman, Beta Beta, '73. (From Springfield (Mass.) Republican, Dec. 30th, 1924.) In the recent death of Rev. Clarence E. Woodman, formerly of this city, there passed away a distinguished Roman Catholic cleric who had many personal friends in this vicinity. At Amherst college he was a classmate of Judge Henry A. King of Dartmouth terrace, now retired from the bench of the Massachusetts superior court, and with whom he maintained a lifelong friendship. He spent his boyhood and youth for the most part in Indian Orchard and attended both Amherst and Trinity colleges before entering the Catholic church and being ordained as a priest. For many years Father Woodman, as he was generally known, paid occasional visits to the scenes of his boyhood. One of his early friends, who maintained a close contact with him through life was James F. Shea of Indian Orchard, who has furnished The Republican with the following biographical sketch and appreciation :�

MR. shea's tribute.

It may be of more than passing notice to many of your readers to learn of the death of Rev. Clarence Eugene Woodman, C. S. P., formerly of In dian Orchard but more recently of Berkeley, Cal. He died at Providence hospital, Oakland, Cal., on the 6th of December, 1924. Father Woodman spent a good part of his boyhood and student days in Bondsville and later in Indian Orchard and is most kindly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him, whether as a youth, a student, a cleric of the Protestant Episcopal church, or as a priest of the Roman Catholic church, to which he became attached in his young manhood, and served most faithfully during a long and useful life until God called him to his well-deserved reward at the age of 72.

father woodman's ancestry. He was born in Saco, Me., November 1, 1852. His father, Andrew J. was of Woodman, sturdy Puritan ancestry whose direct forbears had had a notable part in the early development of colonial New England. Soon after close of the Civil war, his father, who had learned the busi ness of cotton manufacturing in his native Maine, came to Bondsville to take of the charge weaving departments in the Duckville mills. His son Clar ence as he was more (or Eugene familiarly called in his younger days) in life showed a very early decided interest in religious matters and was baptized into the Methodist church in Bondsville in 1867. Among those bap tized with him was Mrs. Alfred S. Packard of Ludlow, then a Miss Simp son, whose family later became next door neighbors to the Woodman fam while resided in this town.

MacDonald of Springfield, was also a stu dent at the academy at this time and distinctly remembers the high esteem in which young Woodman was held by all his schoolmates. tered Monson academy and graduated with high honors, June 29, 1869, This same year. Father Woodman's father came to Indian Orchard to take charge of the weaving in the Indian Orchard mills of which his friend, Charles J. Goodwin, also from the same district in Maine, was the man Father aging agent. Woodman then spent a year at Amherst college, which institution conferred the degree of M. A. on him in June, 1877. While at Amherst he became affiliated with the Protestant Episcopal church, and in September, 1870, he entered the sophomore class at Trinity college, Hartford. While there he was a member of the Parthenon and Phi Beta Kappa societies and was awarded the Greek prize in 1872. He was editor of Trinity Tablet in 1872 and 1873, and was class day "lemon squeezer" orator. He gradu ated from Trinity, July 3, 1873, at which time he was the commencement speaker and took honors in ethics and philosophy, chemistry and natural sciences.

CONVERTED TO CATHOLICISM. From Trinity he went to the General Theological seminary in New York to prepare for the Protestant Episcopal ministry. After two years of exhaustive study and research, he came to the conclusion he was on the wrong path and decided to enter the Roman Catholic church. Shortly after this he decided, if possible, to become a priest emd joined the Paulist order, a congregation of priests at that time largely made up of converts and one that has done wonderful work in making the church better known to non-^Catholics than it was previously. He was sent to St. Joseph's seminary at Troy to prepare for the priesthood, but his health fail ing, he went to California to continue his studies and was ordained there in 1879. During the early part of his seminary course he occasionally came to Indian Orchard to visit his family. He soon attained a remarkable reputation as a preacher and writer and was delegated by the third plenary council of Baltimore which con vened in November, 1884, to compile an authorized or official prayer book for the use of the Catholic laity in the United States. He took a special course at the American college in Rome in 1885 in order to prepare him self for this work. He completed this prayer book known as 'The Manuel of Prayer" in 1888. He was a lecturer at the Catholic imiversity at Washington in 1891, 1892 and 1893. In 1894 he was created a Knight of the Royal Order of Isabella, 112 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon

of his heroism in the Catholic by the queen mother of Spain in recognition administering the last rites of the church to a number of Spanish sailors who were dying of smallpox on a plague-stricken ship. Besides his knowledge of Spanish, Father Woodman was proficient in most modern languages as well as the classics. He was an authority on astronomy and was assistant astronomer with the Smithsonian eclipse ex peditions to Wadesboro, N. C, in May, 1900, and to Hartland, Kan., in June, 1918. He was a member of the National Geographical society of the United States, of the Astronomical society of the Pacific, and the Royal Astronomical society of Canada. His interest in astronomy continued al most to the end of his life. "~" For the past 12 or 15 years he has been associated with Newman hall, Berkeley, Cal., where lectures are given by the Paulist fathers to the 900 or more Catholic students attending the University of California. He was so popular with all of the students at the university, regardless of creed, that he became known as the "grand old man of the University of Cali fornia."

For many years part. Father Woodman has been looked upon as un doubtedly the most distinguished man Indian Orchard has ever sent forth and his former fellow townspeople have always followed his career with great interest. Besides the college degrees already mentioned, he has had various degrees conferred upon him by several other institutions of learn ing, notably the degree of Ph.D. by Manhattan college in 1883, Sc.D. by St. Mary's in 1913, and LL.D. by Notre Dame imiversity in 1915, and by the University of Santa Clara at a later date. He was a member of ihe Psi Upsilon and Beta Beta chapter, college fraternities, also of the Faculty club of the University of California and the Aztec club. Father Woodman's frequent homecomings will be much missed by his hosts of friends in this locality, all of whom are sure to keep his honored memory in reverent benediction.

We are also bemoaning the fact that fate has robbed us of another of our most loyal members�for John M. Cook, Omicron, '17, has moved to Beverly Hills, California. John has gone into the oil business in Los An geles, and while we are sorry to see him go, the Psi Upsilon Association of Los Angeles gains a mighty worth-while member. We, of course, hope to see John as a frequent visitor in Chicago and doubtless his California home 113 114 The Diamond of Psi Upsilon

will be stormed one of these days�for sooner or later. Brothers Roy Wil liams, Tom MehUlop, Bob Evans, Ken Tefft, Bourke Corcoran and some of the rest of "the gang" will discover some excuse to find out if Brother Cook's card luck is still in force. We all wish Brother Cook great success in his new undertaking. Our activities have been purely routine as our present quarters do not permit of much else. Really we are more or less marking time until the projected Fraternity Club building of Chicago takes some definite form. A great deal of work is being done on this and we have hopes of getting definite information within a few months.

Our annual Founders Day Banquet was not held this year as we co operated with the Omega Chapter on November 24th, in holding a memorial exercise for Brother Bridgman. About one hundred brothers were present and in addition to some mighty fine singing by all. Brother P. H. Boynton, Gamma, '97, gave an inspiring talk on Brother Bridgman as he knew him. The Chapter served a buffet dinner before the memorial exercises. R. B. C.

PSI UPSILON ASSOCIATION OF ELMIRA, N. Y. President, Edgar Denton, Pi. Vice-President, Earle MiUer, Theta. Sec-Treasurer, James W. Perry, Tau. the evening of December 27th, twenty-six loyal sons of Psi Upsilon ONgathered for their annual dinner at the Elmira Golf and Country club. The recent death of Brother Bridgman caused a shadow to hover over the assembled brothers, and made the proceedings a bit more serious than they had been in former years. However, the very thought of the deeds of so a Psi loyal U. made the brothers sing the good old Psi U. songs with more than the usual zest.

Since circumstances had rendered it impossible to hold a memorial on the evening of November 24th, a very impressive memorial was held at this time. The new president, Edgar Denton, read the memorial address, after which all the brothers stood for one minute in silent salutation to our de parted leader. This was followed by a rendition of "Brothers, The Day is Ended," which was sung in a spirit coming direct from the heart. This was followed by the regular business meeting. The following officers were unanimously elected by the members present: President, Brother Edgar Denton; Vice President, Brother Dr. Earle Miller; Secretary and Brother W. Treasurer, James Perry. Brother Denton appointed a com mittee to supervise the recommendation of prospects to the various chapters. was in favor Everyone of attendmg the convention at die Pi next spring in The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 115 a body, and it was decided to hold a luncheon of the Association two weeks before the convention to plan for the trip to Syracuse. Some inspiring words of wisdom were emulated by several of die broth ers present. Brodier Redington reported for the Theta, Brother Curtis for the Chi, Brother Perry for die Tau, Pledgee Smith for the Eta, and Pledgee Myers for the Zeta. The rendition of the Psi U. songs was even better than ever, dianks to Brother Howard Clute, who very skillfully accompanied us on the piano. It was all agreed by the brothers present that the meeting was one of the most successful ever held by the Association. We are now all looking forward with considerable eagerness to attending the convention at Syracuse next Spring. Very truly yours, James W. Perry, Secretary.

PSI UPSILON CLUB OF NEW YORK the present issue of the "Diamond" contains a full report of the SINCEmemorial to our late and beloved brother, Herbert L. Bridgman, Gamma, '66, we will not mention it further here, save, that the Psi U Club was represented by several members. We believe the memorial was most ap propriate and fitting to him, who has guided us so carefully, so wisely, and widi such profound love to noble heights and enviable fame. To our younger alumni it was an impressive inspiration to note the presence of so many of our older brothers, who continue to show the love, the strong spirit, and enthusiasm (sine die), which does not burn, it seems, quite so brightly in the hearts of those of more tender age. Owing to the Bridgman Memorial the Annual Dinner of the Club, usually held on Founders Day, was postponed. At present the Club plans to have it during the last part of January. Notice will be shortly sent out. Because the dinner is held under the auspices of the Club, it does not signify that non-members are prohibited. Quite to the contrary, every mem ber of Psi Upsilon is herewith cordially and urgently invited. We wish that any Psi U, graduate or undergraduate, who does not receive a notice, would get in touch with the Club for further information. The Entertainment Committee has planned for our winter sports. There will be an informal gathering every three weeks, usually on Saturday after noons. Promising entertainment is expected. On the schedule so far they have procured "Andy" Newberry, Chi, '05,�lecture and slides on his travels, and Walter Camp�on football. Further prospects are Reinald Werren- radi.

There were so many bridge enthusiasts that private rooms, and both dining rooms there will be had to be opened up to make accommodations. We hope continued and increased interest in these gatherings. Several brothers have The formed a pool tournament at Hoppe's billiard and pool establishment. bowlers' toumament should begin shortly (see bulletin board), while sev eral already have shown interest in squash. Come join our gang and get that work-out you've spoken of so often! It is most pleasing to note that our Canadian brothers have in the re cent past made use of 28 East 39. Come again, come often, and bring them all with you. Now comes something more serious and gravely important. For the past two years and a half the Club's budget was based upon false figures. Statements supposedly authentic were in error. It is found by our impec cable and analytical Manager, Treasurer, and others, that our books were filled with approximately two hundred mythical members. These brothers, whether having joined by inducement, by will, or otherwise, have proven to deny membership, or refused to meet their obligations. To collect has been unsuccessful. Legally these collections could be made, but since mem bership to such an organization comes from a limited few, any pressure brought to bear loses good will, and closes any future opportunity to re gain their interest, they have been, after ample notice, quietly dropped from membership, and refused the use and privileges of the Club. Possibly the circumstances as presented may not cover the situation accurately. However, it was most expedient and very imperative to budget upon a different basis. Manifestly the writing off of all these sums leaves us operating under a deficit. This brings us to the action determined upon at the last meet ing of the Board of Governors. The financial condition of the Club is most grave and precarious. Something must be done. To raise the dues seemed unadvisable. We would lose many of our younger alumni members whose support, by the way, markedly helps our existence. To raise the price of food or room rent would, in time, prove a loss. There was one expedient� increased membership. The Club is about to make a drive for new members. We urgently re quest the co-operation and assistance of every Psi U, whether he is a mem ber of another Psi U Club, whether he lives in California or Maine, or in New York City. If you do not already belong, join now and save us ex pense and effort before we start. If you know of a brother who lives in New York or its vicinity, or who makes any trips to the metropolis, and who The Diamond of Psi Upsilon 117

could make use of the Club in we any way, respectfully ask that you ap proach him seriously upon this matter. We need members quickly, badly! The many advantages are obvious. Any information desired will be most gladly given by communicating with the Club's Manager, Frank M. Rees, Chi, '14. It is noted that many of the older men do not avail themselves of the Club's facilities. It seems that these brothers feel that they do not belong in the environment of younger men. Perhaps it is the Club's fault for not producing a better contact between young and old. However, we do not wish the older ones to let this feeling exist. If you will make your pres ence felt, you will be agreeably surprised to find that a few at least are still "on deck." Suppose you come around. You can, probably, solve our difficulty. Finally�^Before you decide that you already belong to enough clubs �^New York is full of them�^think of what your membership means to this one. We cannot at present afford to remind you periodically that you should join. We are undertaking a difficult task with courage and patience, for a cause which you cannot but admire. And if YOU do not enlist as one of our members you cannot be replaced by some one who will. Herein lies your "privelege." You are honored. Be mindful that PSI UPSILON must always be on top. Do your part! A. Avery Hallock, Chairman Publicity.

PSI UPSILON CLUB OF SYRACUSE Psi Upsilon Club of Syracuse held its last meeting of 1924 on De THEcember 18th. It was a cold night and so slippery it was hard to navi gate. The attendance was not large, but every one present declared it one of the best parties ever. A good dinner was served�^there was a lot of "pep" and Psi U spirit, and the singing�^well, there was plenty of everything. The plan of holding only four meetings a year, decided upon sometime ago, has proven to be very satisfactory. The Psi U men in Syracuse are beginning to realize that they are miss ing a good one, when they pass up a Psi U Club meeting. Already a num ber of the brothers have been enquiring, "When is the next one?" It will be held early in February. Clayton W. Butterfield, Pi, '11 Secretary. CHAPTER COMMUNICATIONS
