HAWAII. James A. Miohener's
longest and most ambitious novel,
will be publisihed in the year that
Hawaii becomes the 50th state
in the Union. Scheduled for
release in the fall of 1959, the
novel is already heralded by the
.publisher (Random House) as a
front-rankitfg candidate for the
year's top literary honors.
In addition to the expected
critical accolades, unprecedented
best-sellerdom is predicted for
HAWAII, in which, it is re
ported, Mr. Michener's gifts as
a story-teller have never been
more .brilliantly displayed.
'lhe new Michener novel begins
with a fictional reconstruction of
the legendary discovery of the Is
lands, more than a thousand
years ago, and ends in modern
times.
Michener is now living in the
home he maintains in Hawaii,
where much of the book was writ
ten. He has long been a devoted
student of Hawaiian history, and
as a part-time resident, parbic
ipates actively in current Island
affairs.

THE FRATERNITY owes to
the work of James G. Glass,
Tennessee Omega the South Car
olina Delta chapter at the Uni
versity of South Carolina.
He went to Columbia in Feb
ruary and interviewed President
Miles of S. C. College, concern
ing the conditions under which
a chapter of SAE migtht be estab
lished there.
President Miles believed in
fraternities and in their bene
ficial influence in the college
where they situated, and that
they also tended to draw into
the colleges of the country.
The first two members of the
chapter were William St. C.
Symmers and Philo H. Burney.
These were initiated on the night
of February 28, 1882.
SIGMA CHI
Sigma Chi's long and colorful
existence originated on June 28,
1855, at Miami University in Ox
ford, Ohio. The fraternity was
founded on that date by seven
men, all undergraduates at
Miami, and was the 19th col'ege
fraternity to be established.
On the night of September 17,
1864, during the heated Atlanta
campaign of the Civil War the
Sigma Chi Constantine Chapter,
the most unique fraternal group
ever founded, was organized by
seven Sigs who were serving in
the Confederate Army of Ten
nessee.
It was assumed that all chap
ters throughout the South would
cease to exist and this chapter
was founded to foster the con
tinuance of the Fraternity. in the
South, whatever the outcome of
the War might be.
On May 6, 1939, in memory of
the Constantine Chapter, a
monument was erected south of
Atlanta near Jonesboro.
The fraternity adopted a cen
tralized form of government in
1882, and carried out a revision
of the general constitution. Chi
Chapter at Hanover College be
came the first chapter in the
Fraternity to move into its own
home, in 1890.
THE WELL-KNOWN song,
"The Sweetiheart of Sigma Chi,"
was composed by F. Dudleigh
Vernor and Byron D. Stokes as
undergraduates at Alpha Pi
Chapter at Albion College in
1911.
The Sigma Chi Foundation, an
educational and charitable cor
poration designed to develop em
phasis on chapter scholastic ac
complishment, was incorporated
in 1939.
In 1950, Sigma Chi purchased
a magnificient estate on the
shores of Lake Michigan in
morial Headquarters.
The same year, Life magazine
called Sigma Chi " . . . the most
solid of all" Greek letter frater
nities in an l1-page spread on
college fratern.ity life, all de
voted to Sigma Chi.
The university recognized nick
name for Sigima Chii is SIG, al
ways written without quotation
marks. It is entitled to this nick
name because it is the oldest
truly national fraternity of the
Sigma group.
Among the many outstanding
Sigma Chi's throughout the
world are Milton Can'Iff, car
toonist; L. G. Balfour, founder
and president of the world's
largest jewelry anid fnaternity
