Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kappa Alpha Journal, Vol. 10: October, 1892 The history Of the Kappa Alpha Order from January, 1883, to the present time, is such as to encourage and please all who are interested in its progress, and there are many lessons of impor tance which it teaches the student desiring not only a mainte nance of the present prosperity but an increase in strength, influence, and extent. It is the main purpose of this writer to portray the advances made, as a matter Of an addition to the letter rather than the spirit of history, and secondarily, to point out some Of the lessons easily deduced therefrom. It is hardly possible to enter as minutely into detail in this review as would be desirable from an historical standpoint or of perfect interest to the statistician. This is owing to the lack of an exact, full record, and that a part of that which exists is not available.
