In the 27 years since it was founded at the University of Arkansas on March 14, 1921, Phi Alpha Theta has attained a position of prominence among the hon- orary fraternities of the nation. The purpose of Phi Alpha Theta is to promote the highest standard of scholar- ship among students of history, to foster a permanent interest in history, lo provide a medium for the presentation of the results of historical research and to stimulate a spirit of fellowship among its members. Among the activities for the past year was a fall tea at which a talk was given by Dr. Arnold H. Price on Opportunities for Historians in the United States Government. Dr. Josiah C. Russell led a discussion with the members on Fel- lowships and Scholarships for Graduate Study among Students of History.
