➢Thomas Arkle Clark (1862-1932) : instructor and Professor of English (1893-99), and dean of undergraduate (1901-09) and men (1909-31) at the University of Illinois. Clark was head of the University of Illinois Department of Rhetoric in 1895 when he helped organize Alpha Tau Omega's (ATO) Gamma Zeta chapter and was its first initiate. Seven years later, he was named dean of men, the first in America to have that title. "Unofficially, he won the title of Keeper of the University's Conscience through his insistence on high ethical and moral standards," records the ATO Story. He did likewise for ATO as Worthy Grand Chief, High Council member, Educational Advisor, and Brother. Brother Clark was nationally known in the early part of the century for his efforts developing the modern Greek system. He served the national fraternity as "Worthy Grand Chief" for several terms. To this day, the highest honor a graduating senior can achieve is the Thomas Arkle Clark Award. The Thomas Arkle Clark Award annually recognizes Alpha Tau Omega's most outstanding senior candidates for undergraduate degrees. It was established as an incentive for young brothers to seek excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, and the personal qualities of character, integrity, and responsibility. Clark’s publications include Facts for Freshmen (1911, 1914, 1916, 1927), The Fraternity and the College (1915), Sunday Eight O'Clock (1916), and many magazine articles on fraternities and college life.
