Jewel Brother
EUGENE K.  JONES
        Became the first Executive Secretary of the National Urban League. His 20-year tenure with the Urban League thus far has exceeded those of all his successors in office. A versatile leader, he organized the first three Fraternity Chapters that branched out from Cornell-Beta at Howard, Gamma at Virginia Union and the original Gamma at the Uni- versity of Toronto in Canada. In addition to becoming Alpha Chapter's second President and joining with Callis in creating the Fraternity name, Jones was a member of the first Com- mittees on Constitution and Organization and helped write the Fraternity ritual. Jones also has the distinction of being on of the first initiates, as well as an original founder. His status as a founder was not only finally established until 1952. He died in 1954.
