Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from General Catalogue of Delta Kappa Epsilon, 1918
Since the publication of the 1910 Catalogue there have been a large number of changes of address; two new Chapters have been installed; our Fraternity Headquarters and Club have been Opened and such changes have occurred in the organization of the Fraternity as to render a new Catalogue necessary for the welfare of the Fraternity several years before it was originally in tended to publish a new General Catalogue. The plan adopted at this time is entirely different from the former custom of appointing some member of the Council to have entire Charge. We believe that through the large and Widespread organization of the R. L. Polk Comp-anv publishers of City Direc tories in New York and many other cities, we are able to gather rapidly and present a far more correct list of names and addresses than before has been possible. It is the plan of the Council to publish this catalogue of names and addresses with a general history of the Fraternity and necessary information, and to leave for some time in the near future (the preparation and publication of a detailed history of the Fraternity and of all the Chapters as a com panion piece or second volume of this general catalogue.
The present catalogue records the names, Chapters, classes, degrees and in some cases undergraduate societies, scholastic and athletic honors and the major positions of honor and trust in after life and the occupation of our members so far as it has been possible to learn them. Information was de rived ih the first instance fro-m the members themselves insofar as we were able after every effort to secure such information. However, there are a number to whom four, and in many instances five, letters have been sent, resulting in these letters being returned without any answer. In such cases the address is enclosed in parentheses and is the address secured from the chapter or as it appeared in the last catalogue. In a' few cases it has been impossible, even through correspondence with Chapters, colleges, class secre taries, relatives. And others to Obtain members' addresses, in Which case no address appears. We have relied as far as possible on the catalogue of alumni members which every Chapter is required to keep, and on the Representative of each Chapter on the Council. There-fore we trust our members will-appre ciate that everything possible has been done to secure correct data, but in the case of any unavoidable errors we can only refer the member to his own Chapter as our last resort.
