Excerpt from Chi Phi Year Book The Omicron Chapter was established twenty years ago by the initiation of the following members of the classes of 1879 and 1880 in the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University: Eugene B. Wilson, John Howard Cromwell, Geo. F. H. Bartlett, Chas. F. Dodd, E. Y. Foote, Jonathan Godfrey, Fred. A. Jones, Arthur Dodge, A. D. Lewis and Joseph B. Bissell. The Chapter owes its origin to the energy of John Howard Cromwell, Eugene B. Wilson and Fred. A. Jones, all of '79 Shef., with the help and at the suggestion, of Lewis V. Snyder, of Rutgers, class of 1878. These four natives of New Jersey determined that the time was ripe for the establishment of a Chapter of the Chi Phi Fraternity at Yale. In the Spring of 1877 these, with others, petitioned for the grant of such chapter. It was over this petition that Xi and Delta took opposite sides, and in the somewhat vigorous struggle which followed, the talent from the college on the Raritan won and the Omicron Chapter was born. We were initiated in the evening of September 11th, 1877, in a hall specially obtained for that purpose, on Chapel Street, near State. This hall was retained by our lodge long enough to initiate several other members of '79 and '80, and two members of '78, and two "specials" were taken in later. The visiting initiating brothers were presided over by a then member, who has since become as false to his fraternity as he has been to his friends, to his college, to another fraternity which he has dishonored by joining, and to the profession which he disgraces by belonging to it.
