"If there is one message I hope you'll take with you it is, 'Don't stop now.' You have learned a lot. You leave with a lot. But it is not enough. Keep on Rawlings learning - and your life will be rich and full," Rawlings told celebrants at the 128th Commence­ ment May 26. Under fair skies at Schoellkopf Field, before embarking on the heart of his com­ mencement message, Rawlings thanked the graduatingclass for a stringofaccomplish­ ments that drew rounds of applause and bursts of laughter.

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.

Among other topics, Webb advised that he was the last survivor of the three “Bronxville Boys” who came to Cornell in 1950 from that village in Westchester County. They roomed together as freshmen, joined Delta Upsilon together and remained close friends through graduation and beyond. They even sat side by side in the 54 Cornellian’s group photo of their fraternity. Boyce Thompson, who died in 2009, worked for Pet Milk in St. Louis for a few years after graduation and later moved to Dallas where he formed and ran a successful food brokerage specializing in gourmet mixed nuts. Ever the comedian, his business phone number (after the area code) was 223-6887, which made the letters BAD-NUTS. Thankfully, his customers did not figure it out.

    DELTA KAPPA EPSILON FRATERNITY Delta Chi Chapter at Cornell University Office of the Alumni Historian ∆Χ of ∆ΚΕ Special Study #19: Pledge Class Research Tasks, 1987-88 Forward― The modern Delta Chi Chapter History Program began circa 1985 with a transcription of the Chapter Meeting Minutes ⎯seven bound manuscript volumes spanning the years 1870 to 1981⎯ and a survey of what was known and what was not concerning the chapter’s origins. In early 1987 the Alumni Historian (this author) devised a set of thirty-seven Research Tasks for the chapter’s pledge class to investigate. These tasks addressed aspects of the chapter’s founding, exploits of the members, and details concerning the architecture of the Cornell Deke House. Some tasks were completed successfully and some were not. This exercise was repeated in the following year with a set of twenty new tasks that were accompanied with considerable background information gleaned from the transcribed Minutes. The completion of this second campaign led to the 1988 petitions to list the lodge on the National and New York State Registers of Historic Places, and the 1993 publication of The Cornell Deke House ⎯A History of the 1893 Lodge. Later the 1994 interim report, The Deke House at Cornell: A Concise History of the Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon, 1870-1930 sprang from this work. This study is a transcription of the collected pledge program research tasks for the 1987 and 1988 campaigns. Appendix A depicts an image of 1987 Research Task #001 as an example of the manuscript forms used that year.
