Princeton Chi Psi

I got a newsletter from The Leftwich Heritage. I am descended from the Leftwich's of England. Anyway, there was a biography of James Turner Leftwich which had an interesting Greek-related item:

" After three years at Yale, James transferred to Princeton where he graduated in the class of 1856...Another relic of his Princeton days is a guilt-edged autographs book which contains a total of one hundred eight autographs, most of which are those of James's classemates of 1856, but from sme from the claass of 1855 and 1857. Many are his Chi Psi fraternity brothers or members of his hall or literary society. "

He was class valedictorian. He went on to become a well-respected minister. The Princeton Chi Psi chapter closed in 1859.
