There was a sixth member of the original five founders who was late to the meeting on January 10th. Because of his late arrival for this meeting, James J. Love was made the first new member.

As we kick-off the celebration of our founding day, let's honor Frater C. Roy Atkinson. A talented musician and singer, he was a junior at the time of founding. He passed away in 1930.

As we continue the Founders' Day celebration, let's honor Frater Clarence A Mayer. An inspiring leader, he formed the creed with the assistance of Frater McNutt. He passed away in 1960.

With our next founder, we honor Frater James C McNutt. He was the first person Frater Settles approached to start TKE & the last founder to pass in 1962. As a general doctor, he helped thousands.

Let's next honor Frater Joseph L Settles. Nicknamed "Dad", he was nearly 25 at the founding. He served as a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church for two decades, passing away in 1943.

The last founder features Frater Owen I Truitt. He was 30 at the time of founding and graduated his masters program with Frater Settles. He was the first founder to enter the chapter eternal in 1929. 

Frater Wallace G. McCauley is one of the most talked about Fraters in TKE history. He was the first with the idea TKE should be a national fraternity & delivered the "Opportunity Out of Defeat" speech in 1907. This fiery speech led to the Fraternity as we know it today.
