BUDD HAS ONE SECRET.

The Governor a Member of a Greek Letter Society. Men From Berkeley and Palo Alto Have Arranged to Dine Together. The members of Zeta Psi Society will shortly celebrate with a banquet in this city the twenty-fifth anniversary of the establishment of the lota Chapter of the University of California, the pioneer Greek letter society chapter on this coast. In the spring of 1870, just a year after the founding of the university, several members of the fraternity, who had come out from the East with a charter for the new chapter, went over to Oakland, where the university then was, and initiated Everett B. Pomeroy, afterward United States District Attorney of Arizona; Arthur Rodgery, now a regent of the university, and F. H. Whitworth and J. M. Whitworth, who later on won the university medals for the years 1871 and 1872 "respectively. All of these were then undergraduates. Shortly afterward George Ainsworth, now a regent of the university, and James H. Budd, and John Budd were taken in, and, a few years later, among the members of the class of "lU, was Frederick W. Henshaw, now a Justice of the California Supreme Court. Among the "chosen twenty' 1 have been most of the leading students of the university in every class that has graduated from that institution. Zeta Psi was also the first Greek letter fraternity to establish a chapter in the Leland Stanford University and that chapter will at thn same time celebrate its fourth anniversary. The generous rivalry of the two universities will be forgotten and the crimson of Stanford and blue and gold of California will be laid aside for the white of Zeta Psi. Governor Budd, Justice Henshaw and many others now prominent in public life, graduates from the University of California, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell and other Eastern colleges, will be present to live over again for an evening their undergraduate days. One of the strongest of the ties binding a graduate to his alma mater is his Greek letter confraternity. .. The chapters at Berkeley and Palo Alto have their own clubhouses, where all old members make their headquarters on the public days of the two universities. There are over 300 members in and about San Francisco, and a large number of them will be present at the banquet.
