We have made tremendous progress this year with great deal of credit for the fine job he did in presenting our chapter to the freshmen. His efforts are responsible for our outstanding new pledges. the chapter and the chapter house. We are working with a newly revised committee system developed by Pete Janzow, '84. Stuart Martin, '84, has improved our OTaduate relations chair and, of course, there is the work Pete Warn, '85, has done with this publication. The chapter house has taken on a new appearance. We have a new fire alarm system which links us directly to Galesburg's fire department. In addition, we have an outdoor stairway and fire doors whicn enclose the stairwells in the house. We have installed bar joyces in the livingroom ceiling to add support to the main structure. As usual, our social service to the Galesburg community is as strong as ever. Five Brothers are very active in the Big Brother program in town. There was a feature article on them and their little brothers in the Galesburg Register-Mail this term which is reprinted Treasurer's Report Finally. I would like to add that Gamma Deuteron has come a long way since last year. This progress can be credited to the outstanding participation of all of the chapter's Undergraduates and their love for their Fraternity. My experience as president this past year has been a tremendously rewarding one and the year is one of which I can be proud the rest of my life. Phi Gamma Delta is not for college days alone! (But then again, you already know that!) Fraternally, Kenneth M. Cornell, '83 Chapter President Perge! Three weeks ago we had a help day on which the actives and pledges worked together topaint the inside of the house. All the walls and woodwork were painted and the old, dull yellow hallway walls are now a bright white. Dear Brothers, The new year has found Gamma Deuteron in sound financial standing. The new year has also seen many physicalimprovementsmade to 218 S. Cedar. The house has, after many years in violation of city fire codes, been brought up to the demanding standards. We hope you will be impressed when you visit the house for Pig Dinner, which is to be held on April 9. The response for the dinner so far has been disappointing. We have received only 100 reply cards. We hope to receive the other 600, along witn a few confirmations, soon. Remember, Pig Dinner is your opportunity to renew past friendships and establish new ties with the Undergraduate Brothers. With the construction that has been done, our rent to the -house corporation will increase. As Istated in my last letter, the largest part of our 1982- 83 budget woula be allocated for house repairs and This increase means that there will be less money for graduate relations, publications, social events, small repairs on the house, and other activities to which both the Undergraduates and Graduates are accustomed.

Terry was bom in Galesburg on May 23, 1882. His parents, he says, were "of a sturdy race of New Englander." He recalls that his mother "was a beautiful spirit arid beautiful to look at." Ofhis father Terry remarks that his "greatest deterrent was his everpresent compassion for people and projects in need of help. He would have died a wealthy man if he hadn't been an easy illPStf mark for everyneedy project in town." Terry was stationed in Europe during World War I. He served as captain on General Charles H. Dawes' staff. While in London, Terry attended a party at which he recalls he was introduced to "a rather plain looking girl [who was] very pleasant and kind to me." Terry danced with the young lady and they had what he calls a "short chat" in which he remembers she remarked that he must have purchased his boots in England. Terry was later informed that his dancing partner was "royalty." "That young lady became the Queen and then the Queen Mother of England," he explains. Terry was a trustee for Knox from 1922 to 1929. He was chairman of the College's grounds committee during that time. He was also active, and continues to be involved in fundraising for Knox. From 1965 to 1966 Terry was the honorary president of the Knox-Lombard Fifty Year Club. He has since remained active in the organization. Terry managed and owned a chain of eighteen lumber yards. When he decided to retire in 1955 he sold his interest in the W E. Terry Lumber Co. to the Alexander Lumber Co. Terry made a friend for life while at Knox. Noble Sproat Heaney, x'02,left Knox to complete his education at Rush MedicalCollege and later became chief of staff of Chicago's Prebyterian Hospital. He invented the Heaney forceps which are still in medical use. Former chapter president of Gamma Deuteron Wilhs Terry, '04, is the first G.D. Phi Gam to have been honored by the Fraternity for 75 years of membership. Brother Terry recieved the Diamond DwI recognition pin last year.

"During my junior year I was President of the chapter, the following summer I took a job at Charlevoix, Mich., running the golfcourse for the Cnicago Club.

Ingersoll, '51 , has distinguished himself as one of Gamma Deuteron's most successful graduates. His foresight led him to a career in computers when the industry was stillin its infancy. Brother Ingersoll was bom on Au^st 8, 1927 in New Castle, Ind. Though he attended and graduated from high school in New Castle, he spent much of his time growing up near the small town of Martinsdale, Mont, with the rest of his family, all of whom attended Knox. In the fall of 1947 In^rsoll came to Knox and pledged Gamma Deuteron. While an undergraduate, Ingersoll was very involved in the chapter. He began early by holding the position of historian as a sophomore. As a junior ne was house manager and treasurer and in his senior year he served as chapter president. Upon graduation in 1951, Ingersoll married Marilyn Jones, '50, in Galesburg. He then attended the school of business at Harvard. In 1953 he graduated with an MBA in business, and joined the firm of Arthur Anderson. He had previously held a summer position with the firm and continued to work nights and weekends as a graduate student. After only a year with Arthur Anderson in Boston, the firm sent him to the first computer school. From the computer school, Ingersoll went on to do a feasibility study for Commonwealth Edison which eventually led to a large installation of computers. After the feasibility study, Ingersoll returned to teach at the second computer school in the country. From teaching. Brother Ingersoll was involved in the installation of a Sperry-Rand computer in its first business ^plication. It had previously been used only by the Census Bureau. The computer, which was installed in Louisville, Ky., was used to control inventory and payroll for General Electric. Before the installation of this computer, Ingersoll moved to Chicago for six years. Though he found himself working out of the Chicago office, Ingersoll was seldom near home. In fact, most of these sbc years he "lived out of the back of our car." Another of his rn^or accomplishments involved the installation of an IBM computer for the Pure Oil Companyin 1957. This helped IBM to secure a position as one of the top competitors in the electronicworli In 1959 Ingersoll was transferred to New York, where he would remain for the next ten years. But this did not end his transient "suitcase" lifestyle. While in New York William G. Ingersoll, '51, has built for himself an impressive career in the computer industry. position of treasurer of Arthur Anderson and in 1978 he was transferred to Geneva, Switzerland. As an undergraduate al Knox and Gamma Deuteron, Brother Ingersoll was heavily involved in chapter administration. Aftergraduation his chapter involvement continued. In 1974 he served as speaker at the Norris Fig Dinner, and he continues his active support through frec^ent contact with the undergrads. Ingersoll's address is 69 W. Washington, Chicago, Illinois 60^2. G.D. Politician A1 Jacob,'32, is a public servant in Mendota, Illinois and has long been playing a major role in LaSalle County Republican politics. For the past 45 years Brother Jacob has served his precinct as committeeman, the second longest tenure in LaSalleCounty. During his tenure Jacob has met Presidents Reagan, Ford, and Nixon. Of the three, Jacob considers Reagan to be the best politician. He predicts Reagan will be reelected if he chooses to run. Jacob is now lobbying for a continuation of Highway 51 to be constructed in his area. He is workingon the project with U.S. Senator Charles Percy and U.S. Representative he worked on various projects related to computers with Tom Corcoran. companies such as Columbia Oil, Caltex, and Standard Brand. In 1962, Ingersoll was made a partner in the Jacob's son Tom is an attorney and was Illinois Govemor Jim Thompson's campaign manager when Thompson made his second bid at reelection. Jacob's daughter Jeannie is one of four coordinators of the Arthur Anderson firm. In 1969 Ingersoll was promoted to head up the consultant division of the company and was subsequently transferred back to Chicago. In 1973 he was made a trustee at Knox. In 1974 Ingersoll was promoted to the U.S. Youth for Understanding program. Jacob and his wife Clara live at 302 12th Ave., Mendota, Illinois 61342. \r\nG.D. Fiji Diamond Anniversary Issue Mr. Scarsdale Willard B. Dean, '19, has earned the true appreciation and respect of his community. Scarsdale, N. Y., has shown its esteem for Brother Dean by naming its high school athletic field after him and by naming him &arsdale's Citizen of the Year for 1979. The respect Scarsdale has for Dean whose nickname is "Mr. Scarsdale," has grown out of a lifetime of service to the community. Dean has served Scarsdale by holding positions on its Village Board, Planning Commission, and Zoning Board of Appeals. He has also served as president of Scarsdale's Town Club and he volunteers a great deal of time to local organizations such as the Scarsdale Historical Society and the Village Organization's Coordinating Group. Dean has also served as the chairman of the village's Board of Ethics. Dean has also actively been involved with such community supported organizations as the Boy Scouts, Red Cross, Hitchcock Presbyterian Church, and the East Scarsdale Association. Dean's dedication to Scarsdale's athletics has also been a great contribution to his community. In 1969 Dean was awarded the Scarsdale Bowl. He accepted with a speech entitled "I Love Scarsdale." That loveis clearly reciprocated by Scarsdale. Dean began his professional career at Knox as the Colle^ athletic manager and alumni secretary. He stayed with Knox for only a year before he assumed executive duties with Consolidated Laundries. He eventually became the firm's vice president. He was with the firm for 36 years before his retirement in 1964. Dean has been a Knox trustee for over 30 years. He served as a regular trustee from 1938 to 1968, and Willard B.

Chapter Mourns Loss of Brother Wilson As we were oret the death of Wl December 2,1982. Brother Wilson attended Knox for a year before he went to the University ofIllinois. He recieved his bachelor of arts degree from the U. of I. in 1919. He later earned his doctorate in education from U.C.L.A. in 1947. Wilson enlisted in the Army as a private in 1918 and was trained in the medical corps. He was stationed in France with the corps' D Company until the end of WWI. In 1935 Wilson married Else Lutterbeck. In the same year he was appointed principal of Chicago's Shurz High School. He had previously taught chemistry at the school and continued to do so emeritously for two and a half years after his retirement from administration in 1959. After he retired, Wilson did volunteer work for the Emmanuel Presbyterian Church. He also recorded college textbooks for Recording for the Blind, Inc. Both the chapter and the fraternity mourn Brother Wilson's death. He will be missed. \r\nG.D. Fiji Reaches 1 In 1908 a group of our Brothers decided that Gamma Deuteron, after BfiLJ' over 40 years as a chapter, had enough graduates to make a publication designed for its Graduate Brothers worthwhile. They combined their A great deal of that spirit has been energies and, with Dr. Charles G. Famum, '98, paying the expense and acting as its alumni editor, produced the first issue of that publication, the in the coverage of the chapter's core, its pledge classes. A 1909 issue proclaimed "When the rushing days are over, almost every chapter of every fraternity in every college, slaps itself a resounding " - k on the spinal column and con,^ ulates itself on securing such a fine G.D.

Fiji, has helped to prove this rule. In that same issue, for example, it was reported that the chapter got "the been chronicled in the G.D. Fiji's pages. It would be impossible to convey all of that history in these columns. We can, however, present some of the trends and highlights of the issues in our files to try to present the spirit of the G.D.

The chapter initiated the 14 best Knox freshmen in December, 1918, pledged "the best bunch of Freshmen" June, 1922 and, in May of in 19:37, pledged 22 "of the best FYeshmen Knox has to offer." \r\nT ^ 4 THE andmark In contrast, October, 1923's G.D. Fiji reported merely that the 12 new pledges were "good men." But that faint praise doesn't appear to be typical of the prose that has been written about our chapter's pledges. January, 1947 was closer to average wh *^^he "eight new wearers of the wh star" were described as "ex ceptionally fine" young men. Super latives dominated the April, 1953 description of the 24 new pledges as "the smartest, wackiest, wisest guys you ever saw." The author was quick to add that the 24 were "future campus leaders," In the Winter issue of 1964 the 10 new pledges were described as an "outstanding group." In 1973 the headline of the Winter issue heralded "he pledging of "Fourteen Super Pledges." The Spring, 1982 issue's y K N E, N OU XX g./x m ^ni \ description of the new pledges as a "very diverse group" of "good scholars" and "outstanding young men" is especially worthy of com mendation. The prize, however, for the G.D. Fiji's most interesting description of a pledge class goes to a quote from a professor printed in the first issue of Volume 3. The prof was quoted as simply saying of the pledges 0 "They're gentlemen." But as the editor responded, "Isn't that enough?" The other end of the spectrum, the graduating seniors, has also been covered extensively in the G.D. Fiji. In June, 1910 the seniors were summed up as having "the admiration of very person at Knox." June, 1922 saw the chapter "lose five of its strongest Continued on page ten m ^ -r.: \r\nG.D. Fiji Diamond Anniversary Issue Page Ten Continued from page nine other men." In June, 1951 the graduating class was a "particularly fine group of sororities and Knox s Greek women have been able to sleep without the burden of their pred ecessors's fears. seniors who should find the world their tool." The G.D. Fiji staff tried, in 1965, "to pay shallow homage" to its graduates and similar tribute has been paid to virtually every one of Gamma Deuteron's graduating classes since the publication was begun in 1908. • Muy TKe G.

The three are, after all, topics which come up regularly. It's a little more difficult to explain the consistency with which General Hobart R. Gay, '17, has been featured in the G.D. Fiji. He was first reported as having visited the chapter in 1921 when he was a captain. A cycle apparently began 30 years later when the Spring, 1951 issue contained a long feature on Gay. Similar features in social institution with party week ends... a game of wall pong... sharing common goals, ideals, ties and coats... being a part of the school and helping the community... making friends... an Anril 1911 to the term "borrowing." To borrow, according to that def Consistency has also typified the coverage of the chapter's FSg Dinners. 1928's Pig Dinner, according to the March 7 issue, was "the best ever." In May, 1937 the Pig Dinner coincided with the celebration of the chapter's 70th birthday and was "one of the very best." In 1952 a "whopping total of 100 Fijis" attended the chapter's "best Pig Dinner." The "best Pig Dinner'' has also been held, according to various G.D. Fijis, in 1911, '13, '18, '23, '25, '47, '51, '54, '55, '56, '62, '63, '66 and '67. In keeping with tradition, the chapter would like now to announce that the 1983 Pig Dinner, to be held on April 9, will be the "best home away from home... a Sunday afternoon "Well," he explained, "It's a silent letter." It was explained that the held at request of the relatives." A more serious tone dominated the November, 1918 report on the end of World War I. "Gamma Deuteron rejoices," the publication read, "with "Smith, a Phi Gam." "Who's the yell leader?" "Willard, a Phi Gam." "Who's the leader of the band?" "Sauter, a Phi Gam." "Who's that good looking cuss there with the lady?" "That's Erickson, a Phi Gam, who won the oratorical contest last night." "Well, who in hell is the water boy?" "That's Pat Anderson, a F^i Gam." "Why don't you ask about some one who isn't a Phi Gam?" I asked John. "Well," he said, "I've mentioned everybody that is noticeable. I guess this must be a Rii Gam institution." And so is the G.D. Fiji. An attempt like this to capture the spirit of the G.D. Fiji over 75 years is destined to be incomplete. At best a re-cap such as this can only be shallow tribute to the publication.
