Excerpt from Leading Greeks: An Encyclopedia of the Workers in the American College Fraternities and Sororities, 1915
The editor of this publication has tried to present here the sketch of every living Greek letter man and woman who has done important work for his or her society. The most assiduous industry has been devoted to the gathering of these names and the collection of data. Thousands of letters of inquiry have been sent broadcast and literally hundreds of fraternity members have assisted in the work. To them we owe our most grateful obligation. If they had lot assisted in the generous way they have the book could not possibly have been so complete. An omission of a suggested name does not necessarily mean it was rejected. It may have been that there was a failure to respond to our request for material. That there are omissions of some who should have been included will doubtless develop. We shall be surprised if we do not find their names in a certain catalogue in our office, on each card of which the signs are indicative of very many pieces of mail having been sent them, and their absence from the book is because they sent no answer. But these are comparatively few. The volume does include practically all those men and women who have made fine records as fraternity workers. And with the general and continual spread of Pan-Hellenic unity, there is a growing interest in the personnel of the leaders in the American College fraternities and sororities. We have told those important things about these Greeks that concern especially their fraternity work, but have frequently given enough of a glimpse of their more secular life to help to an understanding of them.
