Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Betas of Achievement Being Brief Biographical Records of Members of the Beta Theta Pi, Who Have Achieved Distinction in Various Fields of Endeavor Some five years ago the editor had occasion to examine the then newly issued volume of "Who´s Who in America," and in doing so was struck with the number of names of members of the fraternity which occurred therein. In 1912, being called upon to review a later edition of the same book, he made a list of the members of the fraternity whose biographies were in that volume and, without attempting seriously to compare each name, was surprised to find that more than four hundred of the names in the book were those of Betas. The striking fact, however, was that in many instances the catalog of the fraternity frequently gave only the name and occupation of the person referred to, while a much fuller account of his career appeared in such book. The membership of the fraternity has increased so rapidly that it has been necessary to restrict the information concerning each member listed in our catalog to the lowest terms. The result is that there is nowhere to be found outside of compilations like "Who´s Who in America," or "Men of Science in America," an adequate presentation, even in briefest form, of the careers of many of our members. Consequently, it occurred to the editor that it would be a good idea at the present time, in order that the fraternity might become aware of the achievements of its members, to compile a book somewhat on the lines of "Who´s Who in America" (omitting the vital statistics) and restricting it to those listed on our rolls, but including deceased members. Therefore, the catalog of the fraternity was examined with a view to determining who might properly be included in such a list, although naturally, a somewhat wider range of selection was permissable than that which had been employed in the older publication.
