men.
The Order takes 13 men into its
ranks each year who have dem

and exemplified unselfish service
to the campus.
WEAVER
The following is a statement by
Dean of Student Affairs Fred II.
Weaver concerning the Order's
purposes:
"The purpose of the Order of
the Grail is to preserve unity in
l our., student -life. . Recognizing -that
the' aims of the University can
best be served by a student body
sensitive to the values which
transcend . differences of race,
creed, background, and social sta
tion, the Order seeks to cultivate
harmonious student relationships
and democratic student life,"
Weaver said.
"The Order was founded at a
tjme when the student body was
j divided by antagonism between
fraternity and non-fraternity men.
The ideals of the University had

"The watchwords of the Grail
are Friendship, Truth, Courage,
and Service. Of these, Service is
the foremost in the minds of the
Knights of the Grail.
"The Order performs many
services for the campus. It spon
sors a series of dances on home
football weekends, manages the
sale of class rings, and composes,
sells.
and distributes graduation
invitations. !
TRUSTEE
"It regards itself as a trustee
of the funds it realizes through
these activities, and return , them
to ethe . campus ..through; Grail
Scholarships " and - 'through - contri

er said. ? .
"It also seeks out and recog

unity and welfare that might oth- j
erwise go unnoticed. It stands
ready to offer its help to any in
dividual or group that needs its
assistance in the form of ideas,
of financial aid, or physical labor
working always to "help the
campus in every possible way in
making it a better place in which
to live and work," Weaver said.,
SELECTION
"In the selection of its mem
bers the Grail looks for students
who already bear evidence of
leadership, unselfish s-ervice. Pub-
I lic recognition, skill and social
prominence, are noi considered
qualifications for membership in
the Grail.
"Modesty, self-effacement, and
unostentatious service to the end
of unity, the positive inspiration
to character, principle, and in
tegrity, through exemplary cam
pus ctzenship are the values which
are necessary to the realization of
the aims of the Order.
