Founding brotherhood

Iota Phi's founding brothers contained William A. Sparks, the first president of Iota Phi, as well as Harry A Laidlaw, Jr. (UCD Faculty), Claude Burton Hutchinson (UCD Dean, 66 years of age), and Knowles A. Ryerson (UCD Professor, 59 years of age). Incidentally, these are the two same people that Hutchinson and Ryerson Halls are named after.
