List of St. Anthony Hall members

=Founders of Alpha Chapter of St. Anthony Hall (Columbia College + N.Y.U.), January 17, 1847=

According to the 20th edition (1991) of Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities ISBN 0-9637159-0-9, two founding members are cited:
* Edward Forbes Travis
* Charles Arms Budd (N.Y.U. 1850), medical doctor [http://books.google.com/books?id=YlOUBad4ht8C&pg=PA87&lpg=PA87&dq=charles+arms+budd&source=web&ots=GIiaHcJhKN&sig=hn8Os48yqlZ94fcZmggSBtMcsMM]

According to the 1st edition (1879) of Baird's [http://www.answers.com/topic/baird-s-manual-of-american-college-fraternities-1879] ), there are four founding members cited, with Charles Budd the only name in common.
* Charles Arms Budd

* John Hone Anthon (Columbia College), leader of the "Apollo Hall Democracy", a political group that worked to bring Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall to justice.

The discrepancy appears to arise from editorial decisions by Baird's. Another source provides similar data [http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC29129087&id=XzUdKGbC4uwC&pg=RA4-PA178&lpg=RA4-PA178&dq=delta+psi] .

The book "A Tour Around New York" contains contemporaneous sketches of life and associates a number of Columbia College Students including Barger, Anthon, Col. H.S.
