Passing eastward, we turn again into Ophiuchus, and find immediately the very interesting double, lambda, whose components are of magnitudes four and six, distance 1", p. 55°. This is a long-period binary, and notwithstanding the closeness of its stars, our four-inch should separate them when the seeing is fine. We shall do better, however, to try with the five-inch.
The alphabet received by the Italians was by no means the oldest Hellenic one; it had already experienced several modifications, particularly the addition of the three letters "id:xi", "id:phi", "id:chi" and the alteration of the signs for "id:iota", "id:gamma", "id:lambda". We have already observed that the Etruscan and Latin alphabets were not derived the one from the other, but both directly from the Greek; in fact the Greek alphabet came to Etruria in a form materially different from that which reached Latium.
Here the schistus and the sandstone strata both rise inclined at an angle of about 45°; but these primary and secondary strata were inclined in almost opposite directions; and thus they met together like the two sides of a lambda, or the rigging of a house, being a little in disorder at the angle of their junction.
Still, this was an unsatisfactory way of carrying on an affair of the sort, especially when it was the first really serious one he had ever had. Clean out of Van's mind had faded the memory of a Montana cow-girl, a San Francisco actress, a senior in the Lambda Mu sorority, a but space forbids. He mussed three ties. Freshmen are petulant things.
It's Merriwell!" gurgled Emery as he reeled back. "Onto him, fellows!" urged a soph, and Frank suddenly found six or seven of the crowd were at him. Just how he did it no one could tell, but he broke straight through the crowd and in another moment was rushing back toward Billy's, shouting: "Lambda Chi! Lambda Chi!" It was useless to try to follow him, as all quickly saw.
Then a sudden ray of the sun fell on something that glittered in the heap, and he touched it with the end of the staff that he had in his hand. It slid jingling from the heap; it was the bone of a forearm, and that which glittered on it was a half-molten ring of gold. On the gold lambda these characters were engraved: IKMALIOS MEPOIESEN
But what is most remarkable is, that they now appear under two different forms. The terminal setae of the second pair of antennae project between the cheliferous feet. Buccal region of the same from below; lambda, labrum. Head of the rarer form of the male, magnified 25 times. In the first place, and before inquiring into its significance, I will say a word upon this fact itself.
A few minutes later the soph returned and said: "I don't think he knows much about him, myself, but he says he's down at Billy's now or was an hour ago. We might get a chance to Lambda Chi him a little." Browning seemed to arouse himself. "That's right," he agreed. "We'll go down to Billy's." The party filed out of Morey's and Browning took the lead.

There followed quickly, after this auspicious start, the following societies, most of them of national scope; Alpha Omega Alpha, in the Medical School; Tau Sigma Delta, in Architecture; Phi Lambda Upsilon, in Chemistry; the Order of the Coif, and also the Woolsack, in the Law School; Phi Sigma, in Science; Pi Delta Epsilon, in Journalism; Iota Sigma Pi for women specializing in chemistry; and Phi Alpha Tau for students in oratory.
