The Dubach Dean's List

The Dubach Dean’s List recognizes chapters that exceed their all-campus GPA by more than one hundredth of a point.  The list honors SigEp’s most noted supporter of scholarship, Dr. Ulysses Grant Dubach, Oregon State Renaissance.

Before Dubach joined the Fraternity in 1918, he was already a dean. As the dean of men at Oregon State College, Dubach would go on to establish the Oregon Alpha Chapter and become its first initiate. He served as the chapter’s advisor for 30 years, building the foundation that has generated more Buchanan Cups than any other chapter.

Dubach, a Citation and Order of the Golden Heart recipient, served SigEp in numerous national capacities. He was a national director from 1959-1967, and he was known as “Mr. Scholarship,” a moniker he earned as he carried out his duties as National Scholarship chairman for over 20 years.

In a February 1957 Journal article, Dubach declared that “Scholarship is after all, a matter of character. We do what we will do.” He went on to say, “Of course, study processes are valuable; tests are valuable; but the will to do is the vital element. It is this will to do better, better than the average student on your campus does, that we must aspire to.”
