Interesting trivia questions. I don't have a clue.
Tom,
In looking for your reference I ran across something even better. (We all know fraternity has its business side anyway.)
Gamma Zeta ------Massachusetts Agricultural College
For the major part of the year just passed this Zeta has been discussing the house problem. The first part, the topic was, "Do we want to buy, build, or rent?" For several months this point alone was thrashed out with the result that we decided that in the end the purchase of a suitable house would be the best plan. Accordingly negotiations were begun and now the Gamma Zeta of this fraternity possesses a house that is worthy of it. The house is located at 82 Pleaseant Street, corner of Fearing Street, the former being a state road and one of the more important ones in Amherst. Sixteen rooms comprise the total complement of the house, which will be more than sufficient to contain all those who have signified their intentions of going into the fall. We shall take possesion on August 1 and the whole will be ready for occupation by September 1. The main credit for the purchase of the house is due to Brothers Nute, Webster and Goodwin. Several other men contributed their able assistance.
Fraternally,
