Was surfing the national website recently and came across an interesting,... um,... "error." Please read the following quote and think about what might sound a little weird (the quote is from http://www.apo.org/about/traditions/toast_song/index.shtml):
The lyrics to the first verse of this song were created in 1925 by Dale Bartlett of Omicron chapter at The University of Iowa. The second verse was written by Robert Northwood of Epsilon Mu at the University of Maryland and were adopted as part of the Toast Song at the National Convention in 1964.
Ok, so for those of you still wondering, the "error" is in the statement about Dale Bartlett from Omicron chapter at U of Iowa writing the first verse of the song in 1925. I'm not entirely certain when Omicron chapter was founded, but it surely wasn't in 1925!! Theta chapter at UVa wasn't founded until 1929, so Omicron chapter couldn't have been founded until at least 1929.
So my question now is, when exactly was the first verse of the toast song written? And yes, I already asked Randy Finder (he's the one that actually suggested posting it to APO-L),...
Cheers!
