THE PENINSULAR CHAPTER,

1846 TO 1885.

Annals.

On the 12th of June, 1846, a letter was written by William H. Goodrich, Yale, '43, who was at that time the Secretary of the Council, to Rufus Nutting, Jr., Hudson, '43, authorizing him to establish a Chapter of A4 at the University of Michigan. Brother Nutting doubtless delegated his authority to others; for we learn that on the afternoon of the 5th of August, 1846, directly after the conferring of diplomas, Henry A. Swift, Hudson, '42, in company with Rev. Robert R. Kellogg, Urban, 35, headed the most important procession that aspirants to membership in the Peninsular Chapter of A 4ever formed, and led it to a little office just off the College grounds. There our forefathers were duly initiated, and the Peninsular Chapter of our Fraternity was organized.

The Charter Members are, Charles A. Clark, '45; Edmund Fish, '45; Hon. Winfield Smith, '46; Hon. Adonijah S. Welch, '46; Samuel S. Hall, '47; James A. Duncan, '48; and Wells R. Marsh, '48. For some years thereafter the members of the Chapter continued to hold meetings about once a month, but with little regularity as to their recurrence apparently, until 1858, when the members began to gather together with the same frequency and regularity as are now observed.

The brothers seem to have assembled at first wherever a place was available, usually in one of the dormitories, and occasionally in some room in the hotel, until Charles W. Becker, '52, kindly allowed them the use of a room in his house at Ann Arbor. About 1854 the members of the Chapter rented a session room, and have continued to do so ever since, with three or four changes in its locality. We were finally established in our present quarters in 1864.
