promote desirable co-ordination of
different campus activities, to bring
together faculty and students on
mutual basis, and to preserve ideals
and traditions of the institution.
The basis of judgment is effective
leadership, unquestionable service,
possession of spirit of the institution,
and above all', character. One, to be
eligible, must excel in campus leader-
shij), scholarship, social activities,
or athletics.
