Delta Sigma Rho Elections Announced
Honorary Scholarship Fraterni
ties Give Out New Members at
Convocation This Morning.
Thirty-one seniors received mem-J
bershlp In Phi Beta Kappa at the an
nual convocation thiB morning. This
ia a larger number than which at
tained tho scholarship last year, at
which time there were only twenty
two members of the senior class elect
ed to membership in the scholarship
fraternity. Tho election Is in accord
ance with the constitution of the so
ciety that not more than one-sixth
and lesB than one-tenth of the mem
bers of the graduating class bo grant
ed the Phi Beta Kappa key.
Three boys and twenty-eight girls
compose the honor list for the year
IfllO. On the whole the grades of thd
newly elected members of tho society
were very similar to those of the
members of the class Inst year who
wero elected to membership in the
scholarship fraternity. In several
cases students were not elected to
membership to the fraternity on ac
count of not having completed seven
of the eight required lines of work in
the college of arts and sciences. The
university requirements for graduat
ing 1b that the members of the stu
dent body shall have completed six of
the seven linoB of required work, but
the, constitution or Phi Beta Kappa
fraternity provides that seven out of
olght of the required lines of work
must be completed.
