This 100th anniversary issue of the Emerald is dedicated to Past Grand Sages Louis L. Moore (K, Temple) and Francis L. Lisman (A, Vincennes), who were solely responsible for producing the magazine’s first issue on July 15, 1911. Moore, often called the Father of the Emerald, was editor-in-chief of the inaugural installment, while Lisman, the Fraternity’s first national president, served as both publisher and business manager. It would be impossible to celebrate the role that this publication has played in the Fraternity’s development over the last century without acknowledging these extraordinary Sigma Pi leaders for their enduring contribution to our brotherhood. May their spirit and example continue to guide the Emerald over the next one hundred years, just as they have the first one hundred.
