Our screw archives go back to 1948 with a letter from Brother John Sheridan '51, then chapter historian, to Brother Arnold Zimmer '50 describing the first presentation of The Screw at the November 6, 1948 football game between RPI and Clarkson.  You can view a PDF of this document at the link below.
