Edwin Lewis Garvin, Delta '97 First President of the New Alumni Association of Psi Upsilon (See page 230) THE 1932 CONVENTION largest attendance of many years was present at the Convention held on April 7, 8, & 9th in New York City. Our Hosts were the THEDelta Chapter and their alumni association, the Delta Corporation. Too much praise cannot be given to the great convention committee for their hard work in making painstaking plans for the comfort and enter tainment of all present. We concur with the resolution of the convention that we of Psi Upsilon are deeply indebted to Brothers William Morgan Kingsley, Delta '83, Charles Alfred Bill, Delta '92 and Vincent Roberts, Delta '05 for their efforts as chairmen of important committees on arrange ments. As announced in the last issue of the Diamond, the convention head quarters were at the Hotel Governor Clinton, where all but one business session were held. The other session was at the Delta Chapter house at University Heights. The smoker held at the 7th Regiment Armory was attended by over 700 brothers with every chapter represented by undergraduates and many alumni. The singing of our famous songs by this large group, under the able leader ship of Reinald Werrenrath, Delta '05 will not be forgotten by those present, for it was indeed most inspiring. A remarkable program of entertainment was presented including a skit by Detems Taylor, Delta '06 and other talent from the artists service bureau of the National Broadcasting Company. The final event of the evening was an old-fashioned "Intercollegiate Crew Race," which was won by the representatives of the Lambda chapter. TheiT crew of nine men was hard pushed by the Beta and Delta chapter crews, while the representatives of the Tau, Xi and Sigma gave an excellent account of themselves. The entertainment of the second evening provided a theatre party; about 275 brothers and their ladies attended a performance of Ed. Wynn's show, "The Laugh Parade." This great star changed some of his lines to include the names of a number of our members who were present, and as a result the entire evening was a great success. The Banquet on Saturday night at the Waldorf Astoria was attended by over 500 brothers, and as the picture shows, it was a beautiful setting for this great gathering. The full details of the remarks and speeches will be found elsewhere in this issue. The climax at the end of the banquet came when the toastmaster called for the singing of the Shrine Song; all 207 208 THE DIAMOND OF PSI UPSILON lights were dimmed and two spot lights were turned upon the large replica of a Psi Upsilon badge hanging in the middle of the silver curtains back of the speakers' table. The singing was lead by the famous Psi Upsilon Quartette which made the Psi Upsilon records, consisting of John Barnes Wells, Pi '01, Reinald Werrenrath, Delta '05, Cyrille Carreau, Delta '04 and Harold E. Winston, Xi '14. All said a present it had been glorious and perfect evening, and every one left the banquet hall with his heart and soul filled with pride for Psi Upsilon. ** � � * NOTES OF THE CONVENTION Dr. George Henry Fox, Upsilon '67 who had been a member of the Executive Council for thirty-one years, asked the convention to nominate someone else in his stead. This was done, but the convention passed a resolu tion electing him the Honorary President of the Fraternity and of the Execu tive Council. In addition the convention voted to present Dr. Fox with a token of our love and simple devotion, and accordingly at the banquet he was presented with one of the new Psi Upsilon watch chain charms, suitably inscribed. After the convention Dr. Fox wrote the following letter to his col leagues on the Executive Council: "For I many years have highly appreciated the very kind feel ing always shown to me (a rather inefficient member on account of my age) by my Psi U brothers of the Council. "And now to be unexpectedly elected as the first Honorary President of the Executive Council and presented with a beautiful Fraternity Key is a climax of this kind feeling for which no words can express my heartfelt thanks. "With sincerest fraternal regards to each and every one of you, I hope to remain for some time yet "Yours in the bonds (signed) George Henry Fox" Charles P. Rho '94 Spooner, was re-elected to succeed himself on the Council and Reinald Werrenrath, Delta '05, the well known American Baritone was elected to succeed Dr. Fox. Neither of these two brothers need introduction to the any fraternity, for their years of loyal and faithful service is well known. THE diamond of PSI UPSILON 209 The convention amended the constitution to increase the size of the Council from ten to fifteen members, by electing one additional member each year until the five additional brothers are elected. The first brother so honored was Kenneth A. O'Brien, Sigma '28. He becomes the youngest member of the Council; it was the desire of the Council that younger men be brought onto the Executive Council so as to enable the members to keep in closer touch with the undergraduate viewpoint. Brother O'Brien is as sociated with Bancamerica Blair Corporation in New York City. The Psi Upsilon Club of New York City held an "Open House" on the last afternoon of the convention from 4 to 6:30 P. M. This was largely attended and everybody enjoyed the quarters of the club at 273 Lexington Avenue. The only two petitions presented to the convention this year were those of the Wranglers of Northwestern University and of Alpha Kappa Alpha of the University of British Columbia. After the usual debate these two petitions were voted on, for reference to the chapters for their consideration. The vote of the chapters will be called for at a later date. A new international alumni advisory rushing committee was established by this convention, and will be detailed in another part of this issue. It is of particular interest that this idea came entirely from the undergraduates present who have been discussing it at conventions for the past four years. An outstanding feature of the entire convention was the founding of the new Alumni Association of Psi Upsilon, which occurred at a special meeting of alumni on the afternoon of the last day of the convention. Over one hundred and fifty alumni were present, and nearly everyone there was repre senting some alumni club or chapter alumni association. Full details of this meeting will be found in this issue of the Diamond. THE CONVENTION BANQUET Ninety-Ninth Convention Banquet of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity was held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City, on Saturday THEevening, April 9, 1932, Mr. Edward L. Stevens, President of the Fra ternity, introducing the Toastmaster, Dr. William M. Kingsley. President Stevens: Brothers, I am going to take advantage of this temporary lull in the conversation to open the post-prandial proceedings. This is the end of a great convention, three days of good fellowship and con structive work for Psi U. I take this first opportunity to call your attention to the fact that the man who was formerly known as Musical Director, (nick named Choragus) of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity, has now been added to the Executive Council of the same�brother Reinald Werrenrath, of the Delta.

  • The Fusion of Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian Thought in the Republican Party of the 1920S
    © Copyright by Dan Ballentyne 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED This work is dedicated to my grandfather, Raymond E. Hough, who support and nurturing from an early age made this work possible. Also to my wife, Patricia, whose love and support got me to the finish line. ii REPUBLICANISM RECAST: THE FUSION OF HAMILTONIAN AND JEFFERSONIAN THOUGHT IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF THE 1920S BY Dan Ballentyne The current paradigm of dividing American political history into early and modern periods and organized based on "liberal" and "conservative" parties does not adequately explain the complexity of American politics and American political ideology. This structure has resulted of creating an artificial separation between the two periods and the reading backward of modern definitions of liberal and conservative back on the past. Doing so often results in obscuring means and ends as well as the true nature of political ideology in American history. Instead of two primary ideologies in American history, there are three: Hamiltonianism, Jeffersonianism, and Progressivism. The first two originated in the debates of the Early Republic and were the primary political division of the nineteenth century. Progressivism arose to deal with the new social problems resulting from industrialization and challenged the political and social order established resulting from the Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian debate. By 1920, Progressivism had become a major force in American politics, most recently in the Democratic administration of Woodrow Wilson. In the light of this new political movement, that sought to use state power not to promote business, but to regulate it and provide social relief, conservative Hamiltonian Republicans increasingly began using Jeffersonian ideas and rhetoric in opposition to Progressive policy initiatives.

  • Forgotten Splendour
    FORGOTTEN SPLENDOUR A Chronology of the North Shore Music Festival 1909 to 1939 by Andrew Cottonaro Beginning in 1909 and lasting until 1939, the North Shore Music Festival of Northwestern University was a significant musical and social event in the Chicago area. For a few days each Spring, the campus hosted a diverse body of performers in a series of grand concerts. Naturally, some of that era’s most eminent singers could be heard there. Their presence certainly helped to sell tickets and their artistry helped to sustain the festival as a popular and critical success. Now, sixty years later, the festival hardly even counts as a faded memory. To date, two books (in part), offer a general outline of the festival’s history, but both lack any detailed analysis of who appeared and what was actually sung. This is the first attempt to present a chronology of the vocal offerings (quite distinct from the orchestral offerings) at the festival. Northwestern University, the official sponsor of the festival, is located in Evanston, Illinois (USA). The town is a suburb of Chicago, directly north of the city and on the banks of Lake Michigan. Because of this geographic position, Evanston and the other cities of the area are called the North Shore, hence the origin of the festival’s name. Northwestern University was incorporated in 1850 and gradually won recognition for its academic excellence. The establishment of musical studies, however, was a tangled web of many failed efforts. In a final and desperate attempt to salvage musical education, the university’s board of trustees in 1891 appointed Peter Christian Lutkin (1858-1931) to direct musical studies, a post that he held until his death.

  • Dissertation Directed By: “TO DWELL, I'm DETERMINED, on THAT HAPPY GROUND”
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: “TO DWELL, I’M DETERMINED, ON THAT HAPPY GROUND”: AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF A FREE AFRICAN- AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN EASTON, MARYLAND, 1787– PRESENT Tracy H. Jenkins, Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Professor Mark P. Leone Department of Anthropology As early as 1787, free African Americans began making homes in the Easton, Maryland, neighborhood known as The Hill. Over successive generations, The Hill became the cultural and residential center of Easton’s African-American community. The families, businesses, institutions, social fabric, and cultural values that the first generations of free African Americans in Easton created on and around The Hill greatly influenced the development of African- American culture through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in terms of family and household structure, childrearing, religious life, and the memory and meaning of military service. Tracing these developments, with a focus on how African Americans and some white supporters worked together to combat slavery, racism, and other oppressions, illustrates how the politics of the freedom struggle were coded into everyday life. This investigation has also supported local grassroots efforts to preserve the legacy of that struggle on The Hill through public scholarship and practice, historic preservation, and community revitalization. “TO DWELL, I’M DETERMINED, ON THAT HAPPY GROUND” AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF A FREE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN EASTON, MARYLAND, 1787–PRESENT by Tracy H.

  • Series 139 Playland Phonograph
    Westchester County Archives Series 139 2199 Saw Mill River Road Elmsford, New York 10523 Playland Phonograph Collection (914) 231-1500 1911‐1970 (bulk late 1920s‐1950s) Playland Phonograph Collection, 1911-1970, bulk late 1920s-1950s Series 139 Approximately 650 phonographs. Unarranged. Phonographs – both 10 and 12 inch – played from the Playland Music Tower and possibly the Playland Ice Casino. The collection includes classical music as well as popular tunes, including some Hawaiian-themed music. The collection is divided into five parts – a set of numbered records; numbered and unnumbered album collections; loose phonographs, and phonographs that were housed in their original album jackets. The album jackets have Braille identification tags because the disc jockey who worked at the Playland Music Tower was blind. There are two different indexes on note cards for the phonograph albums, but neither one appears to be complete or clear as to its exact use. Therefore, a new index has been completed by Archives’ volunteers. Please note: The Archives does not have playback equipment necessary to listen to the phonographs that make up this collection. The five subseries of this collection can be more fully described as follows: 1. A set of numbered records. These phonographs have individual number labels on them and run up through number 998. Each individual phonograph has 2 numbers on it – one for each side. However, the collection is not complete and there are only about 350 individual phonographs in this group. They were originally housed in 39 cardboard cases that held several individual phonographs. Due to the poor condition of these cases they were disposed during processing, although the case number was recorded.
