Omicron Kappa Upsilon
Omicron Kappa Upsilon () is a national honorary society serving the field of dentistry. History The Society originated with the 1914 graduating class of the dental school at Northwestern University in Chicago. The idea for the fraternity came from the Dean of the Northwestern University Dental School, Dr. Green Vardiman Black, "G.V.

The Society was incorporated on by the State of Illinois. It quickly expanded, with its ''Alpha'' through ''Kappa'' chapters considered to be "founding chapters." Omicron Kappa Upsilon's first Canadian chapter was ''Tau Tau'', at the University of Toronto, followed by chapters at the University of Manitoba, University of British Columbia, and the University of Western Ontario. Of these, only the Toronto unit remains active. The Society has expanded to serve most US and Canadian dental schools, with few excepti ...

Navy Blue
Navy blue is a very dark shade of the color blue. Navy blue got its name from the dark blue (contrasted with naval white) worn by officers in the Royal Navy since 1748 and subsequently adopted by other navies around the world. When this color name, taken from the usual color of the uniforms of sailors, originally came into use in the early 19th century, it was initially called ''marine blue'', but the name of the color soon changed to ''navy blue''. An early use of ''navy blue'' as a color name in English was in 1840 though the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' has a citation from 1813. Variations Indigo dye Indigo dye is the color that is called ''Añil'' (the Spanish word for "indigo dye") in the ''Guía de coloraciones'' (''Guide to colorations'') by Rosa Gallego and Juan Carlos Sanz, a color dictionary published in 2005 that is widely popular in the Hispanophone realm. ''Indigo dye'' is the basis for all the historical navy blue colors, since in the 18th, 19th, and earl ...
