# Billy Budd/Chapter 22

Chapter 22
It was Captain Vere himself who of his own motion communicated the finding of the court to the prisoner; for that purpose going to the compartment where he was in custody and bidding the marine there to withdraw for the time.
Beyond the communication of the sentence what took place at this interview was never known. But in view of the character of the twain briefly closeted in that state-room, each radically sharing in the rarer qualities of our nature--so rare indeed as to be all but incredible to average minds however much cultivated--some conjectures may be ventured.
It would have been in consonance with the spirit of Captain Vere should he on this occasion have concealed nothing from the condemned one--should he indeed have frankly disclosed to him the part he himself had played in bringing about the decision, at the same time revealing his actuating motives. On Billy's side it is not improbable that such a confession would have been received in much the same spirit that prompted it. Not without a sort of joy indeed he might have appreciated the brave opinion of him implied in his Captain's making such a confidant of him. Nor, as to the sentence itself could he have been insensible that it was imparted to him as to one not afraid to die. Even more may have been. Captain Vere in the end may have developed the passion sometimes latent under an exterior stoical or indifferent. He was old enough to have been Billy's father. The austere devotee of military duty, letting himself melt back into what remains primeval in our formalized humanity, may in the end have caught Billy to his heart even as Abraham may have caught young Isaac on the brink of resolutely offering him up in obedience to the exacting behest. But there is no telling the sacrament, seldom if in any case revealed to the gadding world, wherever under circumstances at all akin to those here attempted to be set forth, two of great Nature's nobler order embrace. There is privacy at the time, inviolable to the survivor, and holy oblivion, the sequel to each diviner magnanimity, providentially covers all at last.
The first to encounter Captain Vere in act of leaving the compartment was the senior Lieutenant. The face he beheld, for the moment one expressive of the agony of the strong, was to that officer, tho' a man of fifty, a startling revelation. That the condemned one suffered less than he who mainly had effected the condemnation was apparently indicated by the former's exclamation in the scene soon perforce to be touched upon.
# Billy Budd/Chapter 29

Chapter 29
Some few weeks after the execution, among other matters under the head of News from the Mediterranean, there appeared in a naval chronicle of the time, an authorized weekly publication, an account of the affair. It was doubtless for the most part written in good faith, tho' the medium, partly rumor, through which the facts must have reached the writer, served to deflect and in part falsify them. The account was as follows:-
"On the tenth of the last month a deplorable occurrence took place on board H.M.S. Indomitable. John Claggart, the ship's Master-at-arms, discovering that some sort of plot was incipient among an inferior section of the ship's company, and that the ringleader was one William Budd; he, Claggart, in the act of arraigning the man before the Captain was vindictively stabbed to the heart by the suddenly drawn sheath-knife of Budd.
"The deed and the implement employed, sufficiently suggest that tho' mustered into the service under an English name the assassin was no Englishman, but one of those aliens adopting English cognomens whom the present extraordinary necessities of the Service have caused to be admitted into it in considerable numbers.
"The enormity of the crime and the extreme depravity of the criminal, appear the greater in view of the character of the victim, a middle-aged man respectable and discreet, belonging to that official grade, the petty-officers, upon whom, as none know better than the commissioned gentlemen, the efficiency of His Majesty's Navy so largely depends. His function was a responsible one, at once onerous & thankless, and his fidelity in it the greater because of his strong patriotic impulse. In this instance as in so many other instances in these days, the character of this unfortunate man signally refutes, if refutation were needed, that peevish saying attributed to the late Dr. Johnson, that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
"The criminal paid the penalty of his crime. The promptitude of the punishment has proved salutary. Nothing amiss is now apprehended aboard H.M.S. Indomitable."
The above, appearing in a publication now long ago superannuated and forgotten, is all that hitherto has stood in human record to attest what manner of men respectively were John Claggart and Billy Budd.
# Billy Budd/Chapter 26

Chapter 26
When some days afterward in reference to the singularity just mentioned, the Purser, a rather ruddy rotund person more accurate as an accountant than profound as a philosopher, said at mess to the Surgeon, "What testimony to the force lodged in will-power," the latter--saturnine, spare and tall, one in whom a discreet causticity went along with a manner less genial than polite, replied, "Your pardon, Mr. Purser. In a hanging scientifically conducted--and under special orders I myself directed how Budd's was to be effected--any movement following the completed suspension and originating in the body suspended, such movement indicates mechanical spasm in the muscular system. Hence the absence of that is no more attributable to will-power as you call it than to horse-power--begging your pardon."
"But this muscular spasm you speak of, is not that in a degree more or less invariable in these cases?"
"Assuredly so, Mr. Purser."
"How then, my good sir, do you account for its absence in this instance?"
"Mr. Purser, it is clear that your sense of the singularity in this matter equals not mine. You account for it by what you call will-power, a term not yet included in the lexicon of science. For me I do not, with my present knowledge, pretend to account for it at all. Even should we assume the hypothesis that at the first touch of the halyards the action of Budd's heart, intensified by extraordinary emotion at its climax, abruptly stopt--much like a watch when in carelessly winding it up you strain at the finish, thus snapping the chain--even under that hypothesis, how account for the phenomenon that followed?"
"You admit then that the absence of spasmodic movement was phenomenal."
"It was phenomenal, Mr. Purser, in the sense that it was an appearance the cause of which is not immediately to be assigned."
"But tell me, my dear Sir," pertinaciously continued the other, "was the man's death effected by the halter, or was it a species of euthanasia?"
"Euthanasia, Mr. Purser, is something like your will-power: I doubt its authenticity as a scientific term-- begging your pardon again. It is at once imaginative and metaphysical,--in short, Greek. But," abruptly changing his tone, "there is a case in the sick-bay that I do not care to leave to my assistants. Beg your pardon, but excuse me." And rising from the mess he formally withdrew.
# Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities (1879)/I. K. A.

Shortly after the foundation of Trinity, then called Washington College, a secret organization was founded, called the “Corax Club.” In 1829 the nucleus thus formed was developed into the fraternity now under consideration. It is the oldest of the college local societies, and for a few years was obliged to hold its meetings in secret. The names most prominently connected with its foundation are Samuel Starr, ’29; W. Van Zandt, ’29; John B. Ashe, ’30; Robert T. Paine, ’32; John S. Phelps, ’32.; Joseph M. Warren, ’32; and Robert W. Nichols, ’32.
The badge is a St. Andrew's cross, worn saltire; three of the arms bear the letters “IKA,” the fourth being engraved with the date “1776.” Upon the reverse are the letters “ωθ,” together with a single Roman letter. The graduates’ pin is the same but smaller. The color is royal purple, and is worn annually on St. Andrew’s day and other college holidays.
The fraternity issued its first catalogue in 1839, and has issued them regularly since. The total membership is 214, 59 being deceased. Its prominent alumni include the Hon. John S. Phelps, ex-Governor of Missouri; the late Hon. Robert W. Nichols, of Louisiana Supreme Court; the late Most Rev. James R. Bayley, of Baltimore, Primate of the United States; Hon. John T. Wait, of Connecticut; Hon. Dwight W. Pardee, of the Connecticut Supreme Court; Rev. Thomas Gallaudet, of St. Ann's Church, New York; the late Brigadier General G. E. B. Singletary; Hon. Charles C. Van Zandt, Governor of Rhode Island; Rev. George Mallory, of the “Churchman,” and many others. The semi-centennial of the fraternity was celebrated in 1879, and among the events of the year was the society’s incorporation by a number of prominent alumni.
The fraternity has been closely connected with Trinity College in every way, and its graduates are prominent in the government of the college. It possesses an exceptionally fine collection of historical memorabilia in regard to the college.

# Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities (1879)/Gamma Phi Beta

For current information see Gamma Phi Beta.
The Alpha Chapter of Gamma Phi Beta was founded at Syracuse University, Nov. 11, 1874, by Misses Frances E. Haven (Mrs. C. M. Mors), ’77; E. Addie Curtis (Mrs. F. L. Curtis), '78; Helen M. Dodge, '76; and Minnie A. Bingham, '78. The avowed object of the society is the promotion of literary culture among its members, with the secondary object of social improvement. Some of its graduates were among the first in the university to receive the lady’s degree.
The total membership of the society is 32. Its badge is a gold monogram of the letters “ΓΦΒ” surrounded by a crescent in black enamel, on which is inscribed the Hebrew numeral “4.” A small “S” is used as a guard. Its colors are light and dark brown. The open motto of the society is “Θεμελιωμὲναι Πετρα.”
# Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities (1879)/Delta Psi (Vermont)

* See under Delta Upsilon.
The local fraternity of the above name was founded at Vermont University, in 1850, by Jon E. Goodrich, now professor in the university; Otis D. Smith, of Alabama; A. E. Leavenworth, of Vermont; George G. Gilbert, of Nebraska; H. M:. Wallace, of California; O. D. Barrett, of Washington, D. C.; and H. B. Buckham, of Buffillo, N. Y.
The object of the fraternity is to promote literary culture and a spirit of earnest friendship among its members. Students in the classical departmcnt only are eligible to membership.
The badge of the Delta Psi is composed of a gold monogram of the letters, the “Δ” being placed directly on the “Ψ.” The total membership to date is 226.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the foundation was celebrated at Burlington, in 1875, and proved a very enjoyable occasion for all who participated.
# Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities (1879)/Delta Psi

For current information see St. Anthony Hall.
The Delta Psi fraternity has the reputation of being the most secret of all the college societies. It was founded at Columbia College, in 1847, by Chas. A. Budd, Wm. M. Van Wagener, John H. Anthon, and Sam. F. Barger. The fraternity soon established chapters both North and South, and has the following chapter list:
* Alpha, Columbia College, 1847.
* Beta, New York University, 1847 (died 1853).
* Gamma, Rutgers College, 1848 (died 1850).
* Delta, Burlington College, 1819; transferred to
* Delta, Pennsylvania University, 1854.
* Epsilon, Trinity College (Connecticut), 1850.
* Eta, South Carolina College, 1850 (died 1861).
* Theta, Princeton College, 1851 (died 1863).
* Iota, Rochester University, 1851.
* Kappa, Brown University, 1852 (died 1853).
* Lambda, Williams College, 1853.
* Sigma, Randolph-Macon College, 1853 (died 1861).
* Xi, North Carolina University, 1851 (died 1863).
* Psi, Cumberland University, 1858 (died 1861).
* Phi, Mississippi University, 1855.
* Upsilon, University of Virginia, 1860.
* Sigma, Sheffield Scientific School, 1868.
* Theta, Washington-Lee University, 1869.
The Beta Chapter was declared extinct in 1853, and its members affiliated with the Alpha. The Gamma and Theta disbanded. The Alpha has a fine chapter house in East Twenty-eighth Street, New York City. The Epsilon has one of the most expensive chapter houses in the country, forty thonsand dollars having been given for that purpose by one of the members. The Kappa Chapter is generally repudiated by the fraternity, but its official existence was recognized in the catalogue draft of 1876. The Southern Chapters were killed by the war, and only the Phi and Upsilon were revived at its close. The Lambda owns a chapter house, and the Iota and one or two others have building funds.
The fraternity is in an excellent condition everywhere, and its chapters are prosperous. The fraternity has never issued a catalogue, but published a rough draft of all the members whose names were known in 1876, and issued it with the request that corrections be sent to the Alpha. The catalogue is only in press.
The badge of the Delta Psi is a Saint Anthony's cross, with curved sides. The cross bears a shield in blue enamel displaying the letters "ΔΨ." On the bar of the cross are engraved four Hebrew letters, and beneath the shield the skull and bones. The color is light blue.
The total number of members is about 2500. Prominent among them are Dr. Chas. A. Budd and John H. Anthon, of New York City; Hon. Stewart L. Woodford, Henry S. Olcott, Gen. William G. Ward; Bishops McKip, of California, and Doane, of Northern New York; Frederick Prime, Hamilton Fish, Jr., Nicholas Fish, Minister to Switzerland; Rev. J. D. Fulton, of Brooklyn, and others.

96.  The Club. – During the summer of 1866, two enthusiasts frequently knocked at the door of Dr. Torrey's Herbarium in Columbia College.  They were always greeted with two hands, and derived great pleasure in discussing some new plant found in the vicinity, or in comparing curious varieties and sports of familiar species.  They had heard vague rumors of the existence of other collectors, rumors confirmed by the mysterious disappearence of a secluded patch of Cardamine pratensis, which had been left a few days to perfect.  The desire was frequently expressed to try to assemble these workers; so the effort was made.  The meetings gradually increased in size and interest, until it became evident that we possessed a working force.  The Torrey semi-centennial of Dec. 20th, 1867, still further united the members, and the present organization was effected.
The following is a list of the officers and members of the club.   As the association is rather informal, and somewhat fluctuating, we hope that errors and deficiencies will be pardoned.  We have lost by death one member, W. W. Denslow, one of the earliest, most enthusiastic, and, with the disadvantage of feeble health, one of the most indefatigable.  No one had studied so carefully the plants on the northern end of this island: unfortunately we have but a partial report of his observations.

# Book of Mormon (Plain English Version)/1 Nephi/Chapter 2

​Lehi's family leaves Jerusalem... (compare 1 Nephi, chapter 2)
The Lord said to my father in a dream,
       "I bless you because you faithfully told the people the things I commanded you to tell them. However, because of this, they are planning to kill you. To escape them, take your family into the wilderness."
Lehi obeyed the Lord and left his home, lands, gold, silver and treasures, taking only his family, tents and supplies into the wilderness.
       Note: During the thousand year history of Lehi and his descendants, there are six accounts of a Lehi type exodus. These accounts illustrate how the Lord tells His servants to take their people and "depart into the wilderness." In each exodus account, the righteous people leave their prideful, power-seeking brethren who have sinned against light and knowledge and have brought themselves under condemnation.
       These examples are a type for a latter-day exodus, as prophesied by Isaiah. (2 Nephi 8:10-11, 16:12, 20:20-21, 21:15-16). The other five exodus accounts are found in 2 Nephi 5:5, Omni 1:13, Mosiah 18:34, 22:11, and Alma 27:11-4. A seventh took place in 2,200 BC (Ether 1:39-42)
Our family consisted of my father Lehi, my mother Sariah, my older brothers, Laman, Lemuel and Sam, and myself. We traveled south into the wilderness, down the shoreline of the Red Sea.
After traveling three days, we pitched our tents in a valley near a river. Here my father built an altar of stones, made an offering and gave thanks to the Lord.
The valley where we camped was at the mouth of the river that flowed into the Red Sea. My father named the river after Laman ​and said to him, "I pray you will be like this river, always flowing into the fountain of all righteousness!"
Then my father told Lemuel, "I pray you will be like this valley, firm, steadfast and immovable in keeping the Lords commandments!"
My father said these things because Laman and Lemuel were both very stubborn. They kept complaining, saying my father was a foolish, visionary man, and that he'd taken them from all their comforts and wealth to die in the wilderness.
They complained because they knew nothing about how God deals with His children, and also because they were the oldest sons, feeling they had the right to complain. Like the Jews, they thought the great city of Jerusalem could not be destroyed.
However, Lehi, being filled with the Spirit, spoke to them with the Lord's power. This caused them to shake for fear of His judgments, and for a little while they stopped complaining.
Lehi and his family camped in the valley he had named Lemuel.
Although very young, I had great desires to know God's will. And so I prayed with faith and the Lord gave me understanding. That's why I didn't rebel against my father.
I told my older brother Sam what the Lord had told me by His Holy Spirit, and Sam believed me. But Laman and Lemuel didn't believe me, and in my sorrow over their stubbornness, I prayed for the.
The Lord answered my prayer, saying,
       "You are blessed, Nephi, because of your faith and humility before me. I have prepared the best land on earth for you, and if ​
