Phi Beta Kappa Is
Of Thousands
Local Chapter, Alpha of North
Scholastic Society Alpha Theta Phi; Organization
Charter Was Granted in 1904.
o
As the highest reward for ex
cellent scholarship on the cam
pus, for almost thirty years Phi
Beta Kappa has been the schol
astic goal of thousands of Uni
versity students. The local chap
ter, which is the Alpha Chapter
of North Carolina, grew out of
the University scholastic society
Alpha Theta Phi. In 1904 this
organization was granted a
charter by Phi Beta Kappa.
Ten years earlier Dr. Herbert
Cushing Tolman, professor of
Sanskrit and Greek at the Uni
versity, called together all ju
niors and seniors who had an
average of 2, the grade which
corresponds to the present B.
They organized into an honor
ary society, Alpha Theta Phi,
the object of which was "to stim
ulate and increase a desire for
sound scholarship." In its rou
tine the society resembled Phi
Beta Kappa, for there were few
meetings except initiations. The

Chartered in 1904
Beta chapter of Alpha Theta
Phi was established soon alter
wards at Vanderbilt University,
reauests for
charters were refused. From its
inception the society tried to se
cure a charter from Phi Beta
Kappa, and in the fall of 1904
it was obtained. The University
chapter was the second in the
south; Vanderbilt having been
granted one in 1901.

Scholastic Goal
Of College Students
o
Carolina, Grew Out of University
. Since that 'time other North
Carolina chapters have been
founded at Duke and Davidson.
There are now 125 chapters in
the country, which make it the
largest scholastic honorary or
ganization in the world.- Four
times a year Phi Beta Kappa
publishes a literary magazine,
The American Scholar.
Quarterly Meetings
Meetings of the local chapter
are conducted once each quarter.
Initiation of new members has
become a feature of the spring
quarter activities of the Uni
versity. To be eligible for Phi
Beta Kappa a student must have
an average grade of 92.5. All
A's are counted as 97.5, B's as
92.5, C's as 85, and D's as 75.
Candidates must stand in the
highest quarter of their class and
students who have failed a single
course are ineligible.
Scholarship is only the first
barrier that must be passed to
ward admission. The student is
required to be of good character
and must be interested in the
University. First, he is judged
by the executive committee of
the chapter, which is composed
of three of the four chapter of
ficers and three faculty members
chosen by the chapter. Then the
branch votes on the proposed
members.
Only one man here has ever
declined the honor of Phi Beta
Kappa. He was a student who
was unable to meet the small ini-

of Walter Hamden's most sue
cessful productions, originally

great romanticist, Caponsacchi
is one of the few modern poetic
dramas that has achieved any
considerable success. .

LIBRARY MEETING
IS ADDRESSED BY
GUELDAELLIOTT
University Commerce Librarian
Is Speaker at Conference
Of Library Association.
"Because of the great expan
sion that has taken place in the
social sciences during the last
half -century, many changes have
come about in methods of in
struction, and now emphasis is
placed on the use of periodical
iterature rather than books," de
clared Gueida H. Elliott, com
merce librarian of the Univer
sity, at a meeting of the periodi
cals section of the American Li
brary Association,, held in New
Orleans yesterday, as part of the
association's .fifty-fourth annual
conference.
Miss Elliott's subject was
"The Use of Business Periodi
cals in the College Library," and
her conclusions were based on
data from twenty-one universi
ties and colleges. ,
"Commerce librarians," she
said, "find the satisfactory fea
tures of business magazines to
be the brevity of the articles, the
statistical summaries, the ac
cessibility of the information
through indexes, the biblio
graphical information, increas
ingly interesting formats the
ready availability of results of
research. and the authoritative,
information made available
through research."
