List of St. Anthony Hall members


St. Anthony Hall was founded at Columbia College and New York University on January 17, 1847.

According to the 20th edition (1991) of Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities , two founding members are cited:

According to the 1st edition (1879) of Baird's [2]), there are four founding members cited, with Charles Budd the only name in common.

The discrepancy appears to arise from editorial decisions by Baird's. Another source provides similar data [5]. A complete listing of the chapter membership in its first few years may be found in an 1881 edition of a Columbia College directory [6].

The book A Tour Around New York contains contemporaneous sketches of life and associates a number of Columbia College students including Barger, Anthon, Col. H.S. Olcott (listed below under Other 19th century) and Stewart L. Woodford (listed below in Congress). [7]

The 1889 Catalogue of the Members of the Fraternity of Delta Psi has been scanned by Google. It lists Samuel W. Barger as a founding member and a lawyer. [8]
