Convention of 1901, December 11th to 13th.

Headquarters: The New Willard.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 22, 1901.

DEAR BROTHER:

The arrangements for the Fifty-fifth Convention of the Fraternity, which is to be held in this city December 11, 12 and 13, 1901, are so far advanced that the committee is now able to send you definite information about the most important matters. The Headquarters of the Convention will be "The New Willard," which is so spacious that it will afford ample accommodation for the business meetings, the public exercises, the "smoker" and the banquet. The banquet hall is large enough to seat 500 persons; and the ball-room, which will be given up to the "smoker" on the evening of December 11th, and to the public exercises on the evening of December 12th, is quite as large. Beautiful quarters in the hotel have been secured for the business meetings.

The New Willard is conducted on the European plan. The single rooms, without bath, range from $2.00 and $2.50 per day upward; and with bath from $3.50 and $4.00 per day upward. For double rooms, without bath, the price ranges from $4.00 per day upward, and with bath from $5.00 per day upward. Three persons in a room with bath would pay $2.00 each. Three persons in a room without bath would pay $5.00 per day, to be divided among the three. At The Fairfax (adjoining The New Willard) single rooms can be obtained for $1.00 and $1.50 per day.

The Sub-Committee on Transportation announce that all graduate and under-graduate members of the Fraternity attending the Convention will be given return-tickets at one-third of the regular railroad fares.

All Chapters and Alumni Associations of the Fraternity that intend to be represented in the Convention are earnestly requested to send to the Secretary as soon as possible the names of those members that will be present. The same request is made of all individual members of the Fraternity who plan to be at the Convention.

The Secretary solicits correspondence from the Chapters, Associations and individual members on all matters pertaining to the Convention.

Fraternally yours,

WM. H. HAWKES,
Secretary of Convention Committee.

latter to be the Annual Meeting, with Banquet. At the May meeting such refreshments will be served as the funds may permit

The Annual Dues are fixed at $5.00, payable in advance, which are to cover all expenses.

There were present at the last meeting Brothers:

John Green, Alpha, '55, Scott, H. Blewett, Chi Iota '71, E. S. Orr, Sigma, '83,
F. A. Spencer, Jr., Tau, '82, J. C. Barrows, Alpha Chi, '80, C. W. Whitney, Jr., Lambda '88.
W. A. Galentine, Beta Phi, '84, Gustavus Tuckerman, Alpha '82, Geo. W. Benham, Delta Chi, '80
and R. B. Haughton, Chi E.

The Yale Banquet was held on the same evening, and several of our most enthusiastic members were prevented from being with us, by reason of this previous engagement.

Those who were present enjoyed a thoroughly good time, in the old-fashioned College style, with songs and jokes, talks of College days, hearty good-fellowship and genuine brotherly intercourse. It was an event to be cherished by all, as one that has left its ineffaceable mark of pleasurable improvement, and each and every brother who participated will look forward with earnest anticipation to future meetings, knowing that his loyalty to the fraternity and his respect for himself will be strengthened thereby.

The objects of the Association are the revival of the memories of College days and the strengthening and sustaining of the fraternity in and around the city. It was resolved to make an earnest and continued effort to secure the co-operation of every D. K. E. in the Mississippi Valley, and at our next meeting we expect to have most, if not all, of them there. You are earnestly requested to join with us, and to send us your names as members. If such of you as are in the city will at once send your names to the Secretary, he will call upon you to receive your signatures to the Constitution and your annual dues. The amount of the dues is small, and the officers and committees believe that there is no "Deke" in this city who will so far forget his old College vows and pledges as to fail from any cause, to lend his aid to the objects of our organization. Your financial aid is of course needed, but most of all we want your presence and co-operation. Those of you who are out of the city, we hope to have join us in our meetings whenever possible; above all we want to feel that you are with us and a part of us.

Chattanooga, Tenn., October 8, 1892.

DEAR SIR AND BROTHER IN D. K. E.:

You are cordially invited to attend the Forty-Sixth Annual Convention of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity to be held with the Southern D. K. E. Alumni Association at Chattanooga, November 15, 16 and 17, 1892.

All railroad passenger associations of the United States have granted reduced rates to this convention of one and a third fare for the round trip from any point. Parties purchasing tickets, buy a straight ticket to Chattanooga and obtain from the ticket agent a certificate to that effect, which, when signed by the secretary of the convention on arrival here, entitles him to a one-third fare returning.

The Headquarters of the Convention will be at the Read House, where all delegates are requested to register their names with the secretary immediately upon arrival. Rates at the Read House from to $2.00 to $4.00 per day; Southern Hotel $2.00 to $3.00; Shipp Hotel (European plan) $0.75 to $1.25.

Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock a reception will be given to delegates and friends at the Mountain City Club.

Business sessions will be held Wednesday and Thursday.

Public exercises will be held Wednesday night. Hon. A. H. Pettibone, of Omicron Chapter, '56, will deliver the oration. Excellent music and special features.

Thursday afternoon the session will be shortened for a trip to Lookout Mountain over the renowned Battlefield Above the Clouds, made famous by Genl. Jo Hooker, from which advantage point 2,200 feet above the city, can be viewed the Tennessee river and Moccasin Bend, and the historical battle fields of "Missionary Ridge" and "Bloody Chickamauga," where the government has just opened the National Military Park at a cost of $500,000. From Point Lookout, in Talmadge's language, "Seven states are picturesquely spread out in a panoramic view for the enchantment of the happy observer."

Thursday evening the Fraternity Banquet will be served. Tickets, $5.00. An enjoyable feature will be the rendition of plantation songs by the original and world-renowned, Fisk Jubilee Singers. This convention will be a memorable one. Important business will come up, such as a D. K. E., exhibit at the World's Fair, Phi's permanent representation in the council, and the re-establishment of the Delta Delta Chapter at the new Chicago University. This is the first convention held in the South since the war; all the Southern Chapters unite in extending to D. K. E's., everywhere, a cordial invitation to be present. They will receive a genuinely hospitable greeting. Old issues are as dead as Hector. The South is the growing section of our country. Hundreds of young professional men are locating here. This is a splendid opportunity to see the country. Pack your grip and come. Chattanooga is easily reached by the Queen and Crescent route from Cincinnati, 335 miles; by the Sheandoah Valley, from Harrisburgh, or the Norfolk & Western, and the East Tennessee Railroads from Washington, about the same distance.

Chapters and associations are urged to select their delegates and alternates to the convention, and report the same to this committee at once. Recipients of this notice are requested to extend the invitation to all D. K. E's., to be present.

Yours Fraternally,

CONVENTION COMMITTEE :

DR. W. C. TOWNES, Chairman,

J. B. WHITEHEAD, Sec.

## Convention of 1901, December 11th to 13th.

## Headquarters: The New Willard.

DEAR BROTHER:

Fraternally yours,

Washington, D.C.,

December 4th, 1886.

To the Chapter of D.K.E.

Dear Brothers:

Inclosed we send you a copy of a
circular notice of the XLth DELTA KAPPA EPSILON Convention, which
has been sent to graduate members of the Fraternity.

Please inform the committee as promptly as possible how many
delegates and undergraduate visitors from your Chapter will be in
attendance.

There will be issued soon engraved cards of invitation to the
Convention, which, for obvious reasons, the committee cannot under-
take to send to every member of the Fraternity. If your Chapter
desires to have copies sent to any of your alumni, please forward
a list of names and addresses of persons whom you wish to compli-
ment thus, with a remittance of five cents per name to meet the
extra expense.

The Fraternity Council will receive from the Chapters the us-
ual Convention tax.

Further information as to the details of the Convention may be
had upon application to the Secretary of the Committee, Edward F.
Waite, 1620 Fifteenth St., N.W.

Fraternally yours,

The Committee.

Washington, D.C.,

December 13th, 1886.

To the Chapter of D. K. E.

Dear Brothers:

You are doubtless aware that the IVth Convention of DELTA KAPPA EPSILON — one of the most successful gatherings of the Fraternity ever held — occurred in this city in January, 1855.

As an interesting and pleasant feature of the XIth Convention it is desired to secure the attendance of as many as possible of the delegates who met here thirty-two years ago. To this end you are invited to ascertain from your records as speedily as possible who represented your Chapter at the IVth Convention, to send us at once the names of such persons, and to unite with us in urging them to be present.

The Washington Alumni Association cordially invites all delegates to the IVth Convention to be its guests at the banquet of the Fraternity on January 6th, 1887.

Fraternally yours,

The Committee.
