WHO'S WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Each year the organization of Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities selects the most outstanding men and women on college campuses for recognition. Of the sixteen University of Hart- ford seniors chosen for membership in this national honor society for 1961, two are fifth-year students at Hartford Art School, three are seniors at Hartt College of Music and eleven are seniors at Hillyer College. The graduates were elected on the basis of their character, par- ticipation in college activities, leadership, and scholastic achieve- ment. The university wishes to con- gratulate the students who received the honor of election this year, and is proud of the national distinction they have received.

STUDENT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION The Association was founded in the fall of 1959 and acts as a vehicle through which future teachers are introduced to their pro- fession and incorporated into the activities of other undergraduate groups preparing to teach. On a broader scale, the group works di- rectly in conjunction with the true professional organization of teachers, the N.E.A. Student Educa- tion Association meetings, which occur twice a month, include films of interest and various guest speakers from the field of education. Attendance at the state-wide S.E.A.C. meetings is also en- couraged. Another activity of the S.E.A. is attendance at the regional conference in Peterborough, New Hampshire.
