This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the University. From page 51: Auburn's first fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, came to life secretly at night in a cornfield behind Old Main to escape the disapproving eyes of faculty members in the summer of 1878. The idea spread among the students, and before 1880 both Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Delta Theta chapters also had been formed. The SAE's disbanded from 1880 to 1886, leaving the other two as the oldest continuing fraternities on campus. By 1883, when Kappa Alpha was chartered, the college had lifted its ban on fraternities. In 1897, Auburn's president himself, William LeRoy Broun (with mustache and goatee), posed with his fellow SAEs for this picture printed in the first Glomerata. Other widely known faculty members shown were Bolling Hall Crenshaw (middle row, third from left); to the right of Broun, Robert J. Trammell; then John Jenkins Wilmore. A future electrical engineering, professor, W.W. Hill, sat in front of Broun's left hand. Photo source: Auburn University Special Collections. |
