To our College a Sigma Key means just as much as the Phi Beta Kappa means to a Liberal Arts College. The key itself is engraved on one side with an open book with the Greek letter Sigma on one page and a quill representing secretarial work on the other page. The reverse side is engraved with Boston University, the date of granting, and the name of the member. Sigma Society has several honorary members, persons who are distin- guished in the field of secretarial science. They are Mr. Edward William Bok, of Philadelphia; Mr. John Robert Gregg, originator of the Gregg Shorthand System; Mrs. Gertrude Street, formerly registrar 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; Dr. Edward H. Eldridge, Director of the School of Secretarial Studies at Simmons College; and Dr. James Arthur Tufts, Professor of English and Secretary of the Faculty at Phil- lips Exeter Academy. For the third time in the history of the Society, last year a Sigma Key was presented to a Junior, Aurelia Frances Schober, of Winthrop. Not only was her scholastic average very high, but also she performed the office of Editor-in-Chief of SIVAD in a very commendable manner. The student members of 1927 are Rita Helen Barnard, of Lynn: Nathalie Case, of Plainville, Connecticut; Dorothea Victoria Kellar, of Auburndale; Ethel Frances Parker, of Osterville; Frances Rosenbaum, of Worcester; Kathleen Frances Sharkey, of Medford; Agnes Louise Sheehan, of Lynn; Lydia Gertrude Thiel, of Andover; Margaret Chamberlain Tre- fethen, of Portland, Maine; and Mabel Evelyn Trulson, of Worcester.
