Pencil notation on first page. Signed inscription on front cover reads: To a good friend and a great American Julian Bond and Lawrence Douglas Wilder 11/24/86. Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. ( ) is a historically African American Greek-lettered fraternity. The organization has over 750 undergraduate and graduate chapters. The fraternity was founded on November 17, 1911 by three Howard University juniors, Edgar Amos Love, Oscar James Cooper and Frank Coleman, and their faculty adviser, Dr. Ernest Everett Just. Omega Psi Phi is the first fraternal organization founded at a historically black university. In 1924, at the urging of fraternity member Carter G. Woodson, the fraternity launched Negro History and Literature Week in an effort to publicize the growing body of scholarship on African-American history. Encouraged by public interest, the event was renamed "Negro Achievement Week" in 1925 and given an expanded national presence in 1926 by Woodson's Association for the Study of Negro Life as "Negro History Week."[3] Expanded to the full month of February from 1976, this event continues today as Black History Month. Since 1945, the fraternity has undertaken a National Social Action Program to meet the needs of African Americans in the areas of health, housing, civil rights, and education. Omega Psi Phi has been a patron of the United Negro College Fund since 1955, providing an annual gift of $350,000.00 to the program. The Kappa Alpha Alpha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., begins as a dream, a distant but real hope in the minds of 12 Omega brothers in Decatur, Georgia. These brothers hoped to have form a fraternal entity under the auspices of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. They dedicated their endeavor to the Fraternity's Founding Fathers - Frank Coleman, Oscar J. Cooper, Ernest E. Just and Edgar A. Love - and sought to emulate the aspirations that brought the Founders together at Howard University on a fall evening Friday, November 17, 1911. On a summer day on June 1, 1979 the Association of Omega Men, which was to become Kappa Alpha Alpha Chapter was organized. The founding brothers of Kappa Alpha Alpha Chapter were; Lloyd P. Atkins, Alonza A. Bennett, first Basileus, Robert Cannon, Glenn E. Ford, first Keeper of Records and Seal, Alfonza L. Gayle, James George, Edward Hargrave, Jr., Ronald Jackson, Alvin Sanders, Eric Turpin, Webster Wallace and James Witherspoon. Throughout the years of existence, Kappa Alpha Alpha Chapter has remained true to the Four Cardinal Principles on which the Fraternity was founded. The chapter continues its commitment to social action and Dekalb Community at large - based on programs which are designed to aid and meet the needs of all people, thereby, hopefully moving our society closer toward the goals of true friendship - Friendship is Essential to the Soul. Lt. Governor Lawrence Douglas Wilder was the featured speaker at this event. Julian Bond was not listed on the program, but apparently was in attendance at this Georgia event.

A beautiful binding and a clean book block. Oliver Wendell Holmes appears in the 1829 list. The Wikipedia entry on Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. is excellent. "Holmes was awarded his M.D. from Harvard in 1836; he wrote his dissertation on acute pericarditis. .He also gained a greater reputation after winning Harvard Medical School's prestigious Boylston Prize, for which he submitted a paper on the benefits of using the stethoscope, a device with which many American doctors were not familiar. .He often criticized traditional medical practices and once quipped that if all contemporary medicine was tossed into the sea "it would be all the better for mankindand all the worse for the fishes". .he composed a series of three lectures dedicated to exposing medical fallacies, or "quackeries". .he took great pains to reveal the false reasoning and misrepresentation of evidence that marked subjects such as "Astrology and Alchemy", his first lecture, and "Medical Delusions of the Past", his second. He deemed homeopathy, the subject of his third lecture, "the pretended science" that was a "mingled mass of perverse ingenuity, of tinsel erudition, of imbecile credulity, and of artful misrepresentation, too often mingled in practice". .In 1843, Holmes published "The Contagiousness of Puerperal Fever" in the short-lived publication New England Quarterly Journal of Medicine and Surgery. The essay arguedcontrary to popular belief at the time, which predated germ theory of diseasethat the cause of puerperal fever, a deadly infection contracted by women during or shortly after childbirth, stems from patient to patient contact via their physicians. Holmes gathered a large collection of evidence for this theory, including stories of doctors who had become ill and died after performing autopsies on patients who had likewise been infected. In concluding his case, he insisted that a physician in whose practice even one case of puerperal fever had occurred, had a moral obligation to purify his instruments, burn the clothing he had worn while assisting in the fatal delivery, and cease obstetric practice for a period of at least six months. A few years later, Ignaz Semmelweis would reach similar conclusions in Vienna, where his introduction of prophylaxis (handwashing in chlorine solution before assisting at delivery) would considerably lower the puerperal mortality rate. Though it largely escaped notice when first published, Holmes eventually came under attack by two distinguished professors of obstetricsHugh L. Hodge and Charles D. Meigswho adamantly denied his theory of contagion. .Charles D. Meigs, an opponent of Holmes's theory regarding the contagious nature of puerperal fever, wrote that doctors are gentlemen, and "gentlemen's hands are clean". .In 1855, Holmes chose to republish the essay in the form of a pamphlet under the new title Puerperal Fever as a Private Pestilence. In a new introduction, in which Holmes directly addressed his opponents, he wrote: "I had rather rescue one mother from being poisoned by her attendant, than claim to have saved forty out of fifty patients to whom I had carried the disease." He added, "I beg to be heard in behalf of the women whose lives are at stake, until some stronger voice shall plead for them." The then controversial work is now considered a landmark in germ theory of disease. .In 1846, Holmes coined the word "anesthesia". .While dean, Holmes attempted to admit the first African-Americans and the first woman to the Harvard Medical School."
