## INTERPRETATION OF THE SYMBOLS.

Dr. Frank Terry Brooks
Rock-Ridge
Greenwich, Connecticut

The insignia which characterizes the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity; is the Star and the Crescent, but to its members it has a deep significance. It is the constant reminder of the vows we took upon our initiation.

Manus multae, cor unum.

Fides usque ad mortem.

The older pins were, as you may recall, more ornate, but one description for the two forms, the Skeleton and the Slab, answers for both.

The obverse of our pin comprises the Star and the Crescent. The Star, between the horns of a Crescent moon, is surmounted by a circle that illuminates with perpetual luster; the Emerald. This jewel sheds its rays of steadfastness for purpose and manly zeal, to uphold the honor of the Green and the White of Alpha Delta Phi.

The argent Crescent signifies the ever-increasing dignity of our fraternity, and in its bas relief upon this crescent, originally in black back-ground, are the Greek letters, A, Δ, Ω. These symbols are the first letters of the Greek phrase, which is the watch-word of our order.

(Here the presiding officer requests the initiates to rise)

This sign must never be committed to writing and must never be spoken except under conditions of the greatest secrecy.

Our fraternity motto is

The translation is

The black back-ground, upon which the letters, are raised, signifies our mysticism, and the pearls, encircling, bestow, upon it.

The numerals, 1832, below the Crescent in the present pin, are the year of the founding of the Alpha

Chapter at Hamilton College. Finally, the emblem as a whole, is supported upon an escutcheon of gold, indicating the unalloyed worth of our insignia.

On the reverse of the pin is the statue, symbolizing the constant growth of the fraternity, chapter by chapter, and the numerals 137 and 188, entwined around the main shaft, with the word Yale, betokening the dates of the establishment of the Yale chapter in 1837, (the fifth in order) and its revival in 1888, after a period of suspended activity from 1873.

Below this fraternity shaft is the initiative name and class.

Thus, Brothers in Alpha Delta Phi, our pin is explained, and it is for all of us, young and old, the right hand of good fellowship, the token of happy days past and present, our evidence of loyalty and devotion, and a never failing beacon of inspiration and duty.
