EDWARD G. IRVIN. Edward G. Irvin was born in Spencer, Indiana and graduated from Kokomo High School in 1910. In the fall of that year, he entered the University and became a Founder of Kappa Alpha Nu, and served on the Fraternity's Incorporation Committee. After leaving Indiana, Irvin pursued a journalistic career. After World War I, he served on the staff of the Indianapolis Freeman. In March of 1922, he established The Shining Star, a weekly newspaper in Anderson, Indiana. Within five years, without capital, he turned The Shining Star from a leaflet to an eight page, six column newpaper. The success of this venture brought a bid from The Gary Sun for Irvin's services as its editor. He accepted, but later resigned to become the sports editor with the Chicago Daily Bulletin. Irvin became the most loved Kappa man in the seventies and eighties. He wore the Laurel Wreath. |
