The same thought came to my mind after he'd made the comment about $10m. Perhaps he translated it into today's financial terms. I didn't question him about it at the time because he was telling this story to alums from various eras, and when #1 speaks I tend to let him talk w/out interruption.
On the other hand, I recall from my days as an AM (initiated 3/22/74) the story of how Dan used all sorts of credit cards to get stuff for the first chapter house, which has since been torn down and currently has a 3-story apt. complex on it. I'll verify it w/him since I'm the newsletter editor.
ZAX,
BF
