Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Omega Chapter, and Reminiscences of Northwestern: A Brief Sketch of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, and a List of the Members of Omega, Etc;, Etc
IT is fifteen years since Omega was established. That She has a history no one will deny, and that it should be recorded in some substantial man ner has also been granted. The task and the delay of compiling this history have been greatly in creased by the interference of other business, and especially by the difficulty of acquiring reliable data. The record of the first five years of our existence is lost, and the information for that time has been obtained only through personal interviews and correspondence. The editor has been greatly assisted by Brother C. R. Paul, who has by his hearty sympathy with the work given valuable aid in the earlier portions of our history. He is also under obligations to Brothers Currier, E. Lv. Andrews, Bross, Merrick, and Wightman, and to many others in the chapter, for valuable and material suggestions. Articles contributed by members other than the editor appear over the writers' names. No attempt has been made to record all of the events that have transpired during our career, as this would require more Space and labor than we have at our disposal.
In addition to the history of Omega there are included a historical sketch of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, a list of its conventions and the testi mony of the worth of the fraternity by a few of the more prominent members of our order. Clus tering around all these associations of the chap ter, there have been many pleasant and impor tant events to which Omega lays no particular claim, except in so far as her members have been interested in and identified with them. Some of these events are deemed of sufficient importance to be incorporated in this book. They may be considered in this connection, as they truly are simply as college reminiscences at Northwestern.
