Files Home To Be
Fraternity House

Brunswick. Me-, Oct. 5.-The sSig-
ma Nu Fraternity. the Bowdoin
Chapter Of which was established in
1918, has just moved into one of the
finest chapter houses at Bowdoin
The Beta Chi Chapter House Cor
poration. which is the name of the
real estate holding corporation of the
fraternity, has bought the handsome
residence of the late Prof. George T.
Files, 23S Main street
This house was built in 1895 by the
late Prof. Files on a lot which was
formerly a part of the Mekeen es-
tate. Later Prof. Files enlarged the
grounds by the purchase of the
Hinckley property on the north. The
house on this property was moved to
Belmont street and the land was
beautifully laid OUT in gardens. The
old house was one of the land marks
of Brunswick. 1t was for number
of years occupied by John S. c. Abb
bolt, an author. Later it came into
/ the possession of the Misses Triphene
and Josephine Hinckley. who for
many years conducted a boarding
school for girls
; Prof. Files greatly changed the ap-
pearancc of his house in the years
which followed its erection. building
three large additions, the last of
which was erected in 1917.
The house. is admirably suited for
use as chapter house. On the first
| floor are a large hail. a library, mu-
sic room. reading room, sun parlor
and dining room, all of which can be
! used for dancing and other gather
ings, and the kitchen.
Seven large rooms on the second
floor will be used for studies, and ac-
commodations for from - to 80 stu
dents to sleep are provided on the
third floor.
At the rear of the lot are several
buildings. One, which was original
ly erected for stable, was largely
rebuilt by Prof. Files for a study,
conference room and conservatory.
This has been rearranged for the
housekeeper, who thus has most
comfortable quarters. The garages
will be*retained for the use of those
students who bring their automobiles
to Brunswick.
1t is the plan of the fraternity to
maintain the grounds in the same
handsome condition that Prof. Files
, took SO much pride in, the only
changes suggested being the laying
out of two tennis courts back of the
house.
The Sigma Nu Fraternity is one of
the youngest fraternities at Bowdoin
College, the charter of the National
fraternity having been granted to
the Beta Chi local organization sew
eral years ago. Before the Sigma NJ
| charter was received Beta Chi had
! bought the residence of Mrs. lydia
A. Skofield, on Potter street, which
| has recently been sold to Prof. Orren
c. Hormell. thus making it possible
for the fraternity to acquire its mag
| nificent new home.

ton of the Y. w. c. A. The scene
of the encounter was the field in

proceeded according to regulations
Standard balls and other equipment
were used. II

pus, and they will have a sending
station on the campus, to make ex-
periments with wireless telephones.
When this should be we'll estab-
lished, it should be inspected by the

Percy Owen is one of the few out
standing auto veterans who lays no
claim to having been an inventor. q
mechanic or shop executive. His
birthright was that Of a salesman, and
he started out by selling insurance.
Later he tried his hand at automobiles,
which at that time were even harder
to sell than insurance.
Opening a showroom for tho Winton
company, Mr.. Owen founded Broad
ways auto row by establishing a serv-
ice station and salesroom at Broad
way and Fifty-fourth Street. He or
gained the New York Auto Dealers
Association and was its first president.
In order to sell cars at a time when
the public had little confidence in
motor vehicles. Mr.. Owen found he
had to demonstrate that cars would
actually run. He did tnIs so we'll that
he became a champion amateur auto
racer as carly as 1901. and for a num-
Der OF years he was famous the world
over for the speed he could get out Of
a car.
He rose from salesman to dealer. to
distributor, 20 general sales manager
at the factorW. and finally. at the age
of forty. in 1916, became president and
general manager Of the Liberty Motor
Car Company in Detroit.
