Yosim, Samuel Phi Kappa Phi, one of the highest honorary scholastic societies at the University of Florida, numbers among its membership undergraduate students, graduates, and faculty members. Its prime object is the promotion of scholarship and irreproachable character. This society differs from other high honor scholastic societies in that its doors are open to students in any de partment of study in the institution where the chapter exists. It welcomes the engineer, the agriculturalist the architect, or the chemist as heartily as it does the classical scholar or the man of letters. 239

Webber PHI BETA KAPPA CITATION FOR CREATIVE ACHIEVEMENT . June 7, 1948 Herbert II. Doherty Love of Wisdom the helmsman of life -this Greek motto from which Phi Beta Kappa derived its name symbolizes the distinguishing principles of its society: Friendship, Morality, Literature. Phi Beta Kappa, the first Greek letter society, had its genesis at Florida in 1938, with John Tigert as the first president. There have been 162 undergraduates elected since that time, selected from among the upper 15'Ma of the classes graduating from the College of Arts and Sci- ences. Selection is made on the basis of broad cul- tural interests, scholarly achievements, and high moral Silas K. Eshleman III character. Alumnus members are chosen from Florida graduates of not less than ten years' standing, who, by contributions in the fields of humane sciences and letters or by works of pure literature, have shown themselves outstanding. The Phi Beta Kappa Citation for Creative Achieve- ment is given by the Society to students demonstrating exceptional undergraduate attainment in the creative fields of writing, dramatics, forensics, the fine arts, or in original investigative study in any of the liberal disciplines.

COMMITTEE LAYS PLANS FOR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM The intellectual upper crust. OFFICERS MAP BANQUET PLANS Ed Kuenzler, historiung Gilbert Eehelman, secretaryg Henry Kittleson, vice-presiclentg Al Gammage, president. PHI ET IGMA ational cholastic Fraternity I U The intellectual upper crust of the freshman class comprises the membership of Phi Eta Sigma. Not content with just average grades, aspirants to this national scholastic fraternity must make a minimum of half A's and half B's during either their first semester or first year. It is not surprising that only BM, of the freshman class becomes eligible for initiation. The Florida chapter was chartered in 1930, through the efforts of Dean of Men R. C. Beaty, himself a Phi Eta Sigma and the present faculty advisor. In addition to assisting in freshman orientation each semester, the chapter is laying plans for a scholarship fund, the purpose of which will be to bring to the university worthy and promising students who would otherwise be unable to attend.
