Sigma Society Other colleges may have their chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, but C. 5S. S. has its Sigma Society, an honorary organization formed by Dean Davis during the year 1919-20. The student members are chosen from the Senior Class — the qualifications being a high scholastic standing of a B average with no failures for the four years. Not more than one-fifth the class is eligible. The emblem of the society is a gold key, one side of which is a representation of an open book with the Greek letter ‘“‘Sigma’”’ on the left page and quill on the right as a symbol of secretarial work. On the opposite side of the key is engraved the name of the University, the date of granting, and the name of the member. Each year there is admitted to membership in this society some o ne person who has shown himself successful in secretarial work. The first year, Mr. George B. Christian, Secretary to President Harding, was chosen. Last year, the society selected Mr. Edward William Bok of Philadelphia. The student members are Lou Estells Brigham, ’21, Margaret Elizabeth O’Brien, ’21, Dorothy Brigham Corey, ’22, and Laura Eugenie LaFond, ’22. i if Miss Gertrude Curtis Miss Laura LaFond
