Q. T. V., First at Maine State College, 1874 First QTV Chapter House, 1876 "First Fraternity-MSC's first secret society was QTV, established at Mine in 1874. The organization subsequently affiliated with Phi Gamma Delta." "The Q. T. V. Hall, erected i 1876 by the labor of the members of the fraternity, stood where Coburn Hall is now." "The entire expense of its erection was borne by the members and this demanded from them considerable self-sacrifice and loyalty. As this was the first fraternity chapter house built in the State, it surely must have been a building to be proud of." The first fraternity at Maine State College was built by our QTV brother in 1876. It is second from the right, the present site of Coburn Hall. Brothers in front of the original Q. T. V.
