X III D E CEMBER, 1918 N O. 1 PHI BETA KAPPA NUMBER OUR FIRST PH I BET A KAPPA One of our Founders, Mary Low Carver, was the first woman student to enter Colby College. This was in 1871, .and she had to bear all the adverse criticism that then was uttered against women who dared seek a higher education. It was not that she really heard much criticism but she was made to f eel it. In spite of this opposition she ranked among the very highest in her class, and was in due time elected to Phi Beta Kappa. And you know how in 1873 four other young women .entered those classic halls, and of course you know who t hey were, those brave young women who blazed the way t hat we might follow, Frances Elliot Mann, Ida Mabel Fuller P ierce, Louise Helen Coburn, and Elizabeth Graham Hoag. Louise Helen Coburn was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa, t hus two of our Founders set the example that Alpha has -ever so well upheld. In reply to a letter asking for particulars of her affilia­ tion with Phi Beta Kappa Sister Carver writes : '' 72 Fayerweather St., Cambridge, Mass., October 14, 1918. "'D ear Mrs. Wigmor·e : "Your letter had to travel around somewhat before reach­ ing me as my address has been changed twice within a short t ime. 8 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE "I am giving you what data I can in reference to the estab­ lishment of the chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at our college. Professor Black was the prime move-r, as I remember, in obtaining the chapter for Colby. It was organized in 1896, the first annual meeting being held on June 29 of that year, the charter having been granted the preceding year. Of course, this ·was some years after I graduated. Those who inaugurated the chapter went back over the records of former classes and placed in nomination for membership the names of all whose rank in scholarship entitled them to the honor. "The total living membership of Colby's Phi Beta Kappas· is now 390, and 147 of these are women and over seventy­ five of them Sigma Kappas. From the graduating class of 1918 there were elected three men and ten women, and for this disproportion, war conditions are given as the reason. " The Beta Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa of Maine (such is its proper title) did not at first make use of a ritual o~· any form of initiation but it now uses these at the annual meeting at commencement. This ritual was recommended by the United Chapters about three years ago. ''The present officers of the chapter are: President, Julian D. 'raylor, LL.D.; first vice-president, Bertram C. Richardson; second vice-president, Florence E. Dunn of the class of 1896, our first Grand President of Sigma Kappa; secretary and treasurer, Prof. J. William Black. "Colby stands thirty-ninth in the eighty-nine chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. ''You will see that I cannot give any account of my own initiation as there was none at that time. I joined in 1896 and was present at the first annual meeting and the banquet. Only four of my class were elected to membership as only one-fourth of a class can be admitted. Whether that stringent regulation holds in other chapters I do not know. " Hoping that this little that I am able to contribute ma~r be of some slight use, I remain, Yours loyally in Sigma, M ARY Low CARVER.' • LIFE CALLS TO LIFE 9 "P. S. I should add, perhaps, that at Colby it is and has always been the custom to elect only members of the senior class or graduates to Phi Beta Kappa. ... ... ... M. L. C.'' LIFE CALLS TO LIFE Life calls to life in the shadow Betwixt the dark and the morn; Life's agony is voiced by a cry, And a little child is born. LOUISE HELEN COBURN, Alpha '77 Another ·body for anguish, For toil and vigil and strain; Another soul to learn the dole Of the world's immortal pain. But when earth wakes with morning, With stir of field and of mart, One mother keeps, while her infant sleeps, Life's Christmas in her heart. 10 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE Though the world be spent with sorrow, Pain-racked and terror-driven, Hope springs on earth with each new birth, And love to love is given. (LOUISE HELEN COBURN in Kennebec and Othe1· Poems.) PHI BETA KAPPA Phi Beta Kappa was founded 142 years ago at the second oldest college in America, at Williamsburg, Virginia. It is the achievement of five young men, who met at the College of William and Mary on a December day, 1776.

  • Skin Or Skim? Inside Investment and Hedge Fund Performance
    Skin or Skim?Inside Investment and Hedge Fund Performance∗ Arpit Guptay Kunal Sachdevaz September 7, 2017 Abstract Using a comprehensive and survivor bias-free dataset of US hedge funds, we docu- ment the role that inside investment plays in managerial compensation and fund per- formance. We find that funds with greater investment by insiders outperform funds with less “skin in the game” on a factor-adjusted basis, exhibit greater return persis- tence, and feature lower fund flow-performance sensitivities. These results suggest that managers earn outsize rents by operating trading strategies further from their capac- ity constraints when managing their own money. Our findings have implications for optimal portfolio allocations of institutional investors and models of delegated asset management.

    Thomas E. Kurtz Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, Emeritus An Interview Conducted by Daniel Daily Hanover, New Hampshire June 20, 2002 July 2, 2002 DOH-44 Special Collections Dartmouth College Hanover, New Hampshire Thomas Kurtz Interview INTERVIEWEE: Thomas Kurtz INTERVIEWER: Daniel Daily PLACE: Hanover, NH DATE: June 20, 2002 DAILY: Today is June 20, 2002 and I am speaking with Professor Emeritus Thomas Kurtz. Professor Kurtz, one of the first questions I would like to ask is what brought you to Dartmouth and specifically the math department here? KURTZ: It was primarily the attraction of the geographical area. I was a graduate student at Princeton and, incidentally, at one point I lived less than a block from the Kemenys [John G. and Jean Kemeny], but I didnʼt know them down there because we were in different spheres. I think by that time he was a junior faculty member of philosophy and I was a lowly graduate student in mathematics. At any rate, in the summer of 1955, my first wife and I and our family came up to Hanover to visit people who we knew down at Princeton, particularly Bob [Robert] and Anita Norman who had moved up here. He had taken a position in the math department -- or was here for the summer at least -- and [J.] Laurie and Joan Snell, whom we knew quite well at Princeton. So we came up and spent a week…I donʼt know…and thought, “Gee, this is a lovely part of the country.” I had previously thought, “Well, obviously I am going to go out west where men are men and women are glad of it type of thing in the mountains." Then, I think it was about March of the year I was scheduled to finish my degree at Princeton and I had mentioned something about wanting to go to Dartmouth because one of my friends had said that Kemeny was in town recruiting.
