An Abstract of Development and Consolidation of the University of Toledo Greek Life Governing Councils: 1915-2006 by Alexandra Marie White Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Education Degree in Higher Education The University of Toledo May 2015 Since the 18th century fraternities and sororities have been an integral part of extracurricular life on college campuses. Even though there are many different fraternities and sororities, each aims to provide friendship, leadership, and professional development to its members (King, 2004).The rich history of Greek organizations has played an important role in the development of student life at The University of Toledo, where fraternities have been present since October of 1915, when the Cresset society was formed (History of the Cresset Fraternity, n.d.). However, throughout the years the University of Toledo Greek community has adapted and consolidated in order to ensure survival while remaining a vital component on campus.

    L. G. BALFOUR CO. ET AL. 425 345 Findings of Fact 232. Neither Myers nor any other "IRAC trustee" had anything to do with the preparation of the "new brochure " on registered trademarks. Myers had not even seen a copy of it during the three days he was with Balfour in Nassau. In fact, Myers did not even want to see it as long as it met with Mr. Balfour approval." Myers also suggested that copies be sent to each of the IRAC trustees so that they would know that "such pamphlet was available" (CX 517 A). 233. O' Leary (who had no offcial position in IRAC) indicated that it was "her thought" that "we might mail (the new brochureJ to all of the fraternities and sororities together with an additional bulletin listing the names of the fraternities and sororities who are properly registered as recorded in this offce (AttleboroJ" (CX 516A). IRAC apparently attached to this bulletin information that Mr. Doane, a Washington lawyer, would handle regis- tration of trademarks for fraternities for 3125 (CX 527, 528 , 529). 234, A Commission investigator picked up a bulletin on trade- marks in the offces of Delta Delta Delta in Evanston , Illinois, This bulletin, dated :varch 11 , 1955 , is apparently part of the trademark bulletin prepared by Balfour but circulated under the name of IRAC (CX 768). The bulletin states that "IRAC strongly recommends " that fraternities give trademark registration care- ful consideration (CX 768C). This bulletin, prepared by Balfour but distributed by and through IRAC, states to the fraternities that IRAC is concerned not over "the few sales" by competitors but because such sales represent a "definite threat" to the fra- ternity names and insignia.
