Biographie de l'auteur
George Ade (February 9, 1866 – May 16, 1944) was an American writer, newspaper columnist, and playwright. He followed in the footsteps of his idol Mark Twain by making expert use of the American language. The Ross-Ade football stadium at Purdue University was built with his financial support. He also generously supported his college fraternity, Sigma Chi, leading a fund-raising campaign to endow the Sigma Chi mother house at the site of the fraternity's original establishment at Miami University. He is also famous among Sigma Chis as the author of The Sigma Chi Creed, written in 1929, one of the central documents of the fraternity's philosophies. George Ade died in Brook, Indiana, aged 78. He is buried in Fairlawn Cemetery in Kentland.
