the0 of SIGMAOctagonian ALPHA MU Summer, 2008

IN 1945 this famous photo flashed around the world signalling the first meeting of American and Soviet troops in Europe, on a wrecked bridge over the Elbe River. A participant in this historic WWII tableau was Fra Bernard E. Kirschenbaum, Cornell ’46 (second from left), then with the U.S. 69th Infantry Division. Fra Kirschenbaum later finished his education and became an accomplished architect and sculptor. (Photo by Allen Jackson, 1945.)

The SAM Foundation has this year added to its menu a voluntary annual appeal program for the undergraduate fraters. This custom has already been established by a number of col- lege fraternities. It has even been suggested by some of our stu- dent members who want to begin now the tradition of giving. In this inaugural year, the response has been good, with scores of our young men volunteering to donate to the new program at its outset. Funds raised through the new society will be used to support Foundation educa- tional programs and scholarships benefiting both under- graduate fraters and chapters….The program is to be a permanent one. Contributors receive a bronze tone lapel pin. Minimum donation is $20.09 per frater per year. Higher amounts will be recognized, for which special Eleanor Roosevelt was Rho Chapter’s guest in 1955 when Prior mementos have been designed.The Golden Bronze refers Merton Silbar, ’56, arranged her appearance at the University of to the bronze SAM coats of arms that once were owned Illinois.
