Note: In my old age, I can't quite recall the importance of this bell. It came along while I was in grad school at USC. I think it was an inner-chapter athletic trophy. Notice the "Lambda" Pledge Paddle behind these guys. This might give a clue as to the general time the photo was taken.

Brother Jim Colbert was Beta Chapter's "Keeper of the Keg", a position of considerable influence in the Fraternity.
