User:Visviva/Paul Waymond Caine

Paul Waymond Caine (1890–1931) was a businessman in Indiana and Illinois, and a co-founder of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, one of the first Black Greek-letter organizations established at a majority-white university. Prior to research conducted in 2012, Caine was believed to have died in 1922 in Peoria, but in fact he died of injuries suffered in an explosion at his dry-cleaning business in Rockford in April 1931.

Caine was born in Greencastle, Indiana. He enrolled in business at Indiana University in either 1909 or 1910. Although he left the university in 1911, he remained active in the fraternity and assisted in the founding of new chapters.
