Biographical / Historical

Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, founded in brotherhood, deep-seated in its old traditions, has given the best in music since the day of its founding. Thirty-seven years ago, Ossian E. Mills, then unknown except for his musicianship, decided that there should be an organization to further the cause of music in America. Today in America, leading schools of fifty-seven cities have chapters in this group. Some are professional and others are semi-professional. Alpha Lambda Chapter of Phi Ma Alpha Sinfonia was established at Illinois Wesleyan University on June 7, 1924, by a charter group of sixteen members. The fraternity enrollment now totals forty-two active members and nine members of the music school faculty. This year, Phi Mu Alpha made itself known by winning two of the silver cups awarded in the homecoming activities. Phi Mu Alpha won first place awards in the house decorations and the Greek sing. -1935 Wesleyana
