Senior Men Honored by Membership in Bine Key The Blue Key, national activities and scholastic honorary Fraternity, was organized at the Univers- ity of Florida in 1925. Its chief concern was, as it is now, service to the university. Just one year after its national foundation, a Blue Key chapter Mas initiated on the Butler campus. Since that time, the fraternity has grown to include more than eighty chapters throughout the nation. Memhership in the Blue Key is composed of upperclassmen and the Butler chapter limits its memhership to men of the senior class. Memhers are chosen on the hasis of high scholastic achieve- ment, participation in school activities and organi- zations, service to the university, and popularity. In co-operation with the Scarlet Quill. Blue Key annually sponsors the entire homecoming festivities. This year the homecoming dance, which was held in the Egyptian Room of the Murat Temple, was a huge success and proved to he one of the social highlights of the year.
