Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I am happy to be able to give the fraternity a book which will be useful in teaching the members some of the important events in our history. I hope no one will expect to find all our history here, or even a thorough treatment of some of the subjects which are presented. For such information a resort must be made to the larger three volumed work.
