Skt Sigma Kappa Triangl

CULVER-STOCKTON COLLEGE, where our Beta Mu chapter was installed April 18-20, 1947, was the first college west of the Mis sissippi whose charter provided for equal education of men and women. It was founded as Christian University and a char ter was granted by the Missouri legislature in 18 53. In 1917 the name of the college was changed to Culver-Stockton college, because of the generosity of Mrs. Mary E. Culver and R. H. Stockton in donating new build ings. The present productive endowment of the college is about $1,000,000. The campus, extending over 110 acres is located on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi. There are three NPC groups on the cam pus: Chi Omega, Alpha Xi Delta, and Sigma Kappa; and two fraternities: Lambda Chi Alpha and Mu Theta Nu, a local founded in 1868. All have houses.
