Gamma Sigma 150th

Interesting, an ILL request came in over the holiday break for the history of the Gamma Sigma fraternity. The fraternity was started here by Charles McLean with a group of students in the early Normal era, and then spread to many other Normal schools and also high schools. It ended here when Hartwell closed out all the local fraternities and sororities c1939, but continued elsewhere into the 1970s, when I think it faded away; the requestor was a '71 member. He wants to organize a 150th anniversary, so have given one copy of the book to send him, and also emailed him myself to share the link to Dedman's book etc.
