Following runs the narrative of the life of a man who will be remembered long at the South. He has given of his best energies to the making and the perfecting of what is probably the most distinctive Greek letter society in America. In it are reflected his patience, his unselfishness, his good taste, his wisdom, and his patriotism. It has inherited through him the best ideals of a great people--ideals that had their beginning with King Arthur, and attained to their finest flower in General Lee. The elaboration of the Kappa Alpha Order is the distinctive labour of Samuel Zenas Ammen. -- Foreword.
