The Krug
Lecture
History
Louis G. Krug initiated with the Zeta
Chapter on January 16, 1915. In addition to his activities
in the Chapter, he played a variety of sports and played in
the University Band. After graduating in 1918, he worked
for the William Wrigley Company of Chicago and the Rawhide
Manufacturing company. He retired to California in 1962,
where he died in 1972.
Brother Krug left a substantial bequest to the Zeta
Chapter. We have used his bequest to establish an annual
lecture series. The Krug Lectures bring faculty, graduate
students, and undergraduates together to share in the
riches of Chemistry. The interest from Brother Krug's
bequest pays the annual expenses of the lectures so that
the Krug Lectures will be a permanant memorial for a
brother who held Alpha Chi Sigma dear to
him.
