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 [1]

According to the 1st edition (1879) of Baird's [2]), there are four founding members cited, with Charles Budd the only name in common.

  • Charles Arms Budd
  • William Myn Van Wagenen (Columbia College)
  • 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.
  • Samuel F. Barger (Columbia College), Lawyer and railroad director and financier associated with the Vanderbilts.[3][4]

The discrepancy appears to arise from editorial decisions by Baird's. Another source provides similar data [5]. A complete listing of the chapter membership in its first few years may be found in an 1881 edition of a Columbia College directory[6].

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. Olcott (listed below under "Other 19th C.) and Stewart L. Woodford (listed below in Congress). [7]

The 1889 "Catalogue of the Members of the Fraternity of Delta Psi" has been scanned by Google. It lists Samuel W. Barger as a founding member and a lawyer. [8]
