Beta Delta News Updates

Historical Gem from Roy E. Dietrich '40

"The present Beta Delta bar was constructed in 1938 by brothers of that era. The bar rail is a small gauge rail removed from a mine near Hazleton, Pennsylvania—my contribution! If you remove any of the paneling, the wall to the furnace room boasts murals painted by Hugh Troy, a humorist of the past. The wall opposite the bar also bears murals by the same artist. Glad to see the new plans. Good luck on the renovation. Some items might be worth saving!"
