Excerpt from The Delta Kappa Epsilon Quarterly, 1899, Vol. 17The F ifty-second Annual Convention was held with the Detroit Alumni Association on November 16 to 19, 1898, and was one of the most successful ever held by the Fraternity. The delegates began to arrive in Detroit Tuesday morning, November 16th, and were immediately taken to the Russell House, the headquarters of the Convention, by the Reception Committee. An informal recep. Tion was held that evening at the Detroit Club, which was at tended by about seventy-five delegates. Who spent the evening in becoming acquainted with each other, so that on the following morning when the Convention was formally called to order by Brother Simpson, the Secretary of the Council, it was composed of members familiar with each other's faces and names.The business meetings were held at the Convention Hall of the Russell House, and were attended by a large number of delegates and also of the members of the Detroit Alumni Association, among them Mayor William C. Maybury, Omicron, '71, who welcomed the delegates to the City of the Straits in a few happy words. The most important business of the Convention was the granting of two new charters of the Fraternity, one at Tulane University and the other at the University of Toronto. After the morning ses sion of November 17th the Convention adjourned to the Griswold entrance of the City Hall, where a photograph was taken of the delegates. After the afternoon session of the same day the dele gates were entertained at the residence of Hon. Dexter M. Ferry at a reception held in their honor. In the evening came the ball at Philharmonic Hall, which proved one of the most enjoyable events of the Convention, largely through the efforts of the Floor Com. Mittee.The business sessions of the 18th were succeeded by a trolley ride to the Country Club, where refreshments were served.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
