Willard J. Chamberlain entered Ohio University as a freshman in the fall of 1911. During the spring of his freshman year he pledged Phi Delta Theta Fraternity and became an active and involved member. He lived in the fraternity's house and his scrapbook makes numerous references to friends and activities associated with the organization. In addition to being a member of Phi Delta Theta, Chamberlain was a member of the YMCA's Tennis Club and was the President of the Irving Literary Society. Although studying to be a stenographer, his grade cards left in his scrapbook and comments about his favorite classes and professors reveal an interest and ability in French.
