3 ' SIGMA SOCIETY Sigma Key-dreamed of by undergraduates as they devote patient hours to their books -is presented, amid resounding applause, to the Seniors who have maintained a B average with no failures during their college years. The emblem of the Society is a gold key, on one side of which is a representation of an open book with the Greek letter 5'Sigma on the left page, and a quill as a symbol of secretarial work on the right. On the reverse side of the key is engraved the name of the University, the date of granting, and the name of the member. Honorary membership in the Sigma Society is composed of those persons who have won distinction in secretarial science. Among these are: Mr. Edward William Bok, of Philadelphia, Mr. John Robert Gregg, originator of the Gregg Shorthand System, Miss Gertrude Whitney Curtis, Secretary of the College, Professor Joseph Richard Taylor of the Faculty, Mr. George B. Christian, Jr., secretary to the late President Harding, Miss Alice Harriet Grady, former secretary to justice Brandeis, and Dr. Edward H. Eldridge, Director of the School of Secretarial Studies at Simmons College. Last year, for the first time in the annals of the Society, the key was conferred upon a Junior, Miss Charlotte Greene. She not only executed very successfully her work as Business Manager of SIVAD, but she also received highest scholastic honors for the year.
