Margaret Frazier, Daniel Cooper Chapter Regent, 1980-82, stated "The chapter name was chosen to honor Daniel Cooper to whom Dayton owes more than any of the founders. He rescued the city financially in its darkest hour. He laid out the streets, and provided sites for the churches, schools, and library."
