He was teaching in the Department of English at Howard High School, in Wilmington, Delaware
where she was also teaching. Alice Moore Dunbar Callis had matriculated

of the Women Suffrage campaign for the mid Atlantic States and the first
woman to serve on the State Republican Committee of Delaware. More importantly,
she wrote the words to the National Hymn of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority."
"I wish to urge upon all of the brothers the necessity for a broader
bond of brotherhood in the communities where you reside. After allegiance
to your God, family and country, let nothing shake your love for the fraternity
and its ideas. Let every brother be truly a brother, promote his interest
as if it were yours and show to the world that Alpha Phi Alpha stands for
more than mere words.
Jewel Robert Harold Ogle, 1936
