medical fraternity was founded at the University of Pennsylvania in January 1891.
Its first members were Aaron M. Billstein (M.D. 1892), Joseph C. Bloodgood (M.D.
1891), Henry H. Doan (M.D. 1890), S. Potts Eagleton (M.D. 1890), Goldson T. Lamson
(M.D. 1892), Arthur J. Patek (M.D. 1892), William E. Robertson (M.D. 1892), George
H. Richardson (M.D. 1891), and Frederick Wilson (M.D. 1891). The purpose of the
fraternity is to have an association in which practicing physicians and students
can meet. The Beta chapter was formed at Columbia University in 1893. Penn's Alpha
chapter owned its house in 1930. | More
