Page with Phi Sigma Kappa Pamphlet and Claude S. Buchanan's First Detroit Residence
Format
Paper pamphlet on paper.
Date
c. 06-1915
Location
Detroit, Michigan, USA.
Description
This page commemorates Buchanan's first home at 131 Northwestern Street, Detroit, Michigan. In 1917, Claude and Ruth Buchanan would welcome their daughter, Ruth Charlotte Buchanan, in Detroit, attaching a sentimental value to the city for Claude S. Buchanan to last his entire life. Next to the snippet of Claude's first Detroit address is his first copy of "The Signet." The fraternity of Phi Sigma Kappa was officially formed in 1912, having previously served as an underground fraternity for like-minded young men. The Signet is the official magazine publication of Phi Sigma Kappa and serves as an educational publication with historical and instructive content about Grand Chapter operations, goals, values, and objectives, its publication continuing to this day within the Phi Sigma Kappa chapter. The edition of The Signet belonging to Claude may be the first copy ever circulated in June 1915.
