THE PSl UPSILON REVIEW COMPANY 52 McGraw Block DETROIT, - MICHIGAN THE RHO OF PSI UPSILON. The installation of a new chapter is a great event in the history of Psi Upsilon; an event which, prior to last month, occurred eleven had only times during more than half a cen tury. After the establishment of the Mu in the University of Minnesota five years ago, attention was directed to the inter vening state of Wisconsin, and to its well-endowed and rapidly growing University. By a fortunate turn of affairs the oppor which tunity Psi Upsilon had rejected forty years before again presented itself. the university of WISCONSIN. This institution, which must be ranked among the first twelve of American universities, opened its doors to students in 1849, the year following the admission of Wisconsin as a State. In 1854, the first class, consisting of two young men, was graduated from the academic department. Now the- alumni number 1,600, and there are more than 2,700 grad uates. Since the year 1889 the progress of the institution has been very rapid. The number of students has increased from 722 to 1,800. The University stands at the head of the edu cational system of the State, its relations with the high schools and academies is intimate, and it is not much troubled by opposition from private colleges. The requirements for admission, and the character of instruction, have always been high. For work in its graduate courses the University has, established for itself an enviable name. One hundred and fifteen professors, assistant professors, and instructors, constitute the Faculty, at the head of which stands President Charles Kendall Adams, LL.D. (Phi '61), some time Professor of History in the University of Michigan, and later President of Cornell University. Another graduate member of the Phi, the distinguished astronomer, James Craig 162 THE PSI UPSILON REVIEW. Watson (Phi '57), died in the service of this University for which he had reluctantly given up his Alma Mater, Edward T. Owen (Beta '71), is Professor of the French Language and Literature; Amos A, Knowlton (Kappa '86), is Assistant Pro fessor of Rhetoric; and WilHam S, Marshall, Ph,D, (Tau '89), is Instructor in Biology. The libraries of the University contain 40,000 volumes, and are to be housed, in connection with the unrivalled collec tion of the Wisconsin Historical Society, in an extensive fire proof building for which the legislation of the State has appro priated $200,000. Among the buildings already erected are Main Hall, South Hall, and North Hall, all of stone; Science Hall, a structure of pressed brick, which cost $325,000; the Law Building, of brown sandstone; Washburn Observatory; the Gymnasium and Armory, paid for by a legislative appro priation of $120,000; Library Hall, and the Chemical Lab oratory. The endowment and income of the University are based upon and derived from federal land-grants, a tax upon mining companies, a permanent tax of an eighth of a mill upon the assessed property in the State, and special appropriations by the legislature. The location of the University is one of great beauty. Professor Bryce in 'The American Commonwealth" speaks of the spacious grounds of the University, which include "College Hill" and skirt for a longdistance the shores of Lake Mendota, the city of MADISON, This town of 14,000 inhabitants, the capital of Wisconsin, and the seat of the University, is situated on a prairie isthmus between Lakes Mendota and Monona, with two other lakes lying near by. It was of Madison that Longfellow wrote: "Four limpid lakes �four naiades Or sylvan deities are these In flowing robes of azure dressed; Four lovely maidens that uphold Their shining mirrors ribbed with gold, To the fair city of the West ". THE RHO OF PSI UPSILON. 16.3 The city has many fine churches and private residences, Its and good hotels. refined social atmosphere reminds one of Hartford and Providence. Being on the great railroad highway of the Northwest, it is readily accessible to Psi U. men. EARLY PSI UPSILONISM IN WISCONSIN, Among the pioneers of the young Commonwealth were twenty or more Psi Upsilons, graduates of Eastern colleges, who retained in Western wilds their love for the Fraternity. Of these may be named the lamented Perry H. Smith (Psi '46), one of the charter members of the Psi, and subsequently a great railroad magnate, an active assistant in the foundation of the Omega, and the father of two Psi U. sons; General Albert C, Ingham (Theta '47), also an initiate of the Psi, through whose labors the revival of the Theta was accom plished in 1865; Morris R. Barteau (Psi '45 ), who has been for many years a manufacturer and merchant at Appleton, Wisconsin; and Jabez Brooks (Psi '50), now Professor of Greek in the University of Minnesota, On the evening of Thursday, January 23, 185 1, these men and their comrades met at Madison, and held what they called "The First Annual Convention of the Members of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity, resident in the State of Wisconsin". Of their proceedings, duly printed in pamphlet form, a copy is in the writer's hands, and contains the following resolutions: "Resolved�That we recognize, with joy and pride, the strength of the Psi Upsilon bonds which have brought us here together to-night, in friendship and love, to hold the First Psi Upsilon Con vention in Wisconsin. " Resolved �That as we owe the pleasantest recollections of our College life to our connection with the Fraternity, we gladly acknowledge an obligation to use our utmost efforts in enlarging � its borders�increasing its usefulness and extending its fame. " Resolved�ThsLt in fulfillment of this obligation we deem it our duty to take immediate measures for the estabHshment of a Chap'ter of the Fraternity in the State of Wisconsin.

  • Genealogical Record
    Genealogical Record OF NATHANIEL BABCOCK SIMEON MAIN ISAAC MINER EZEKIEL MAIN COMPILED BY CYRUS H. BROWN WESTERLY, R. I. BOSTON THE EVERETT PRESS 1909 .John Russell Babcock (ii) Old llystk. Conn. To }!y CoUSIXS JOHN RUSSELL BABCOCK A.,"DmsSISn:R SUSA.'1" H. BABCOCK Tms REcom Is G:RAn::FOLLY DEDICATED BY 'IRE AumoR PREFACE. AFTER publishing the Brown Genealogy, in l90i, the author of this genealogy took up first the records of his great-great-grandfather Nathaniel Babcock, Sr., in lineal descent from James Babcock, who settled in Ports­ mouth, R. I., in 16.µ, but removed to Westerly, R. I., in 1662, where his second son, John, who married Mary Lawton, had settled; thus through regular lines of descent, and giving more particular records than were given when that part of the Babcock Genealogy was published, in 1903, bringing the records down to 1910. Stephen Babcock, of Yonkexs, N. Y., has granted me permission to use as much of the early history of the Babcock Family as may be of interest to the descendants of Natilaniel Babcock, Sr. This Babcock record is also supplemented by the descendants of Simeon Main and Martha York, carrying the records on from the last given in the Brown Genealogy; also by the descendants of Isaac Miner and Ka.turah Brown. The Ezekiel Main Family has received by far the most extended research. Ezekiel Main removed to Stonington, Conn., about 1670. The records begin on page 49. My plan of research has been to search town records, to visit burying-grounds, to send hundreds of pexsonal lettexs with blanks to be filled out, and to make pexsonal visits.

  • 2013-2014 Wisconsin Blue Book
    STATISTICS: HISTORY 677 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

    APPENDIX A ["Joint Resolution For the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding that the Government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the Island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect." Statutes-at-Large, v. 30,738-39.] Whereas the abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the Island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States, have been a disgrace to Christian civilization, culminating, as they have, in the destruction of a United States battleship, with two hundred and sixty-six of its officers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and can not longer be endured, as has been set forth by the President of the United States in his message to Congress of April eleventh, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, upon which the action of Congress was in­ vited: Therefore, Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, First. That the people of the Island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be, free and independent. Second. That it is the duty of the United States to demand, and the Govern­ ment of the United States does hereby demand, that the Government of Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in the Island of Cuba and with­ draw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
