Phi Delta Theta.
tor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening star:
In reading Mr.. Curtis very interesting
article on Greek letter societies in last Sat
urdays Star l was sorry to miss from it
any reference whatever to Phi Delta Theta.
Now, it is entirely conceivable that this
omission was due to simple inadvertence;
but, even if So it would scarcely be fair to
the large number of Phis throughout the
country, to say nothing of the eminently
respectable contingent both now and re-
Gently resident in Washington, to be blot
ted out altogether without some sort or
protest. 1t happens that this fraternity has
never been committed to the practice of
electing persons to honorary membership
after they had attained to some distinction
in public, civic or professional life. and pos
sibly that Is one reason why 1t has never
been obtrusive in exhibiting its roster OF
distinguished names to the public.
Still it Is of record that the late President
Harrison did not forget his fraternity ties
formed at Miami University, and no society
of Greeks ever supped at more hoSpitable
board than did Phi Delta Theta at that of
former Vice President Stevenson. The late
lamented Eugene Field was ever a faith
full and enthusiastic wearer of the shield
and dagger and there is nothing to show
any lack of fraternal loyalty on the part
of Gen. John w. Foster, William +. Villas,
former Secretary of the Interior; Chief JUS
tice Byron K. Elliott of the Indiana SUI
preme court, Judge William A. Woods of
the United States circuit court, Senator
Blackburn, Senator Allen, Edwin H. Con-
Gen H. " Boynton and a host of others.

Through all of his illness his wife was a
faithful companion to him. She had lived
in this city with her daughters for num-
Der of years. She has left a provision IN
her will for an annual appropriation that
will permit the decoration of the little
Christ Church. Broadway, New YORK, once
each year with palms from our tropical
possessions. 1t was her interest in this
plan that led to the first importation OF
naIms from Porto Rico, and it was the
beauty of this foliage for decorative pur-
poses that led the Roosevelt inaugural
committee to resort largely to IT for the
coming decorations of the avenue and the

University's Most Famous Scientist

The most famous scientific man ever con-

Henry A Rowland, professor of physics
from the foundation until his death in 1901
He was member of all of the learned So
cletles of the world, and had medals from
nearly all of them. The list of his profess
slonaI honors occupies printed page but
he never published book, his lectures were
never written or reported, he always spoke
on-hand ana sometimes did not lecture at
