'Thl Beta Kappa and Humanism." Camp Scares Critics In welcoming the Incoming mem bers of Thl Beta Kappa, Prof. C. C. Camp pointed to the many popular criticisms that the organisation has received, stressing the Importance of tbe newly Initiated members aid ing In dispelling the popular and oft-tlmea fallacious conception of the oldest of Greek-letter organlta tions. The criticisms. b pointed out. were that members of Phi Beta Kappa were freaks, that they poasessed no personality, and that the newly-chosen members ceased working shortly after election. He contended that the paramount obli gation of the new member waa to correct these mallmpresslona.

"Phi Beta Kappa Is not so much of an award, as an evaluation of work," she explained. Brock way Responds The high ranking student of the entire fifty students selected this year, Lawrence Brockway. re sponded to the welcome speech, by explaining that the award came not aa ramniiinii for comoleted en- deavor, but that it criterioned fur ther achievement by the Individual student, and tiiat talenta were lying atlll dormant In the student w ho had acquired the honor. i "Oxford la great because of the Ik of system and the utter infor mality of the place." stated Sliel-1 don Tefft, In drawing the contrast between the American educational system and that of Oxrord. "In ; the minds or the English, ttniver-. slty la not a system of cramming , facta and Information Into the , minds of the atudeati." ne ex nlalned that the scholarehip of the student waa a matter of allowing the student to follow nu own in .ua.tinii. in rrainlnr the funda mental of knowledge in the varl-: oua fields. Miss Pound Speaka ( Prof. Louise Pound traced the; beginnings of Phi Bett Kappa, the growth of the organisation, aim pointed to the position of respect that P. B. K. held amid ao many Greek-letter organiratlona. she explained the manner in wntcn tne cloak of secrecy had been removed from the organisation In 1910 dur ing a period Of antl-fratemal feel ing In New England.

Dean Alabaater of Nebraska Wes leyan emphasised the lingering sig nificance of Phi Beta Kappa since its founding In 1778, and expounded the idea that the key was not sym bolical of some achievement, but that it algnifled the discovery or an individual fitted to improve the aociety. v Sherman Give Final Talk Dr. I A.
