From the family of Benjamin F. Ellis, our deceased classmate, comes the report from their home in Evanston, Ill., that all its members are well and enjoying the issues of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

During our student days at Dartmouth there were in the Academic Department five of the so-called Greek-Letter Secret Societies, one of which was a strictly local Society. All others were fashioned under the chapter system, as is Phi Beta Kappa. These Societies were Psi Upsilon (established in 1841); Alpha Delta Phi (1847); Delta Kappa Epsilon (1853); Theta Delta Chi (1869); Phi Delta Theta (1884) and Kappa Kappa Kappa (1842), a local Society; also two so-called Greek-Letter Secret Societies in the Chandler Scientific Department: Phi Zeta Mu (1857); and Sigma Delta (1858). Each Society had its special handclasp, or grip, - strictly guarded as a secret, and the Greek words for which the Greek letters of each Society stood for were not made public.
