This group, with the founder and Miss Mary Esson Reid, formed a writers' club, the Hrst organization of students and faculty in Cleveland College. On January 3, 1927, the club was granted a charter by Sigma Tau Delta, national professional English fraternity, and thus it became the Beta Beta Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta. The purpose of the fraternity is the mastery of written expression. Members publish constantly in national publications, both prose and poetry, and many have volumes of their own.

PHI SOCIETY Mary Do, Helen Slaby, Lillian Lieberman In June, 1932, a group of Cleveland College students organized an honor society for the recognition of excellence in scholarship. Dr. A. Caswell Ellis, Director, and Mr. Edward Downer, Registrar, assisted the group. In 1933, the society was officially recognized by the Adelbert Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Seniors of good character who are candidates for the A.B. degree and have maintained an average of 2.20 points, as well as juniors with an average of 2.50, are eligible for membership. Annually, during the week of commencement, the Phi Society meets and formally initiates new members. Faculty sponsors are Dr. Frederick I-I. Adler, Dr. Clair R. I-Ienderlider, and Dr. Harlan B. Roney, all members of Phi Beta Kappa.

Wrobleski, Bernice Green, Thomas L. Barensfeld SKYLINE Since May, 1928, the date of its Hrst issue, Skyline, the college quarterly magazine, has had many contributors, among them former student Jo Sinclair, winner of the 1946 Harper Novel Award. In an early issue, William Lyon Phelps, of Yale University, Wrote to commend the success of the quarterly. Other contributors, not so well-known, are now writing short verses, essays, and articles which follow orthodox styles or experiment with original ideas. Not only a medium for publication, the magazine furthers the creative talents of its writers. Dr. Frederick H. Adler, instrumental in its founding, named the magazine and was faculty adviser for its first eleven years. Under present policy, Skyline is first accepting material of students, then of faculty members, and, when the manuscripts are especially meritorious, of outside contributors. The staff meets every Friday evening in the English office. Material is read by the editor to the staff and is then discussed and voted upon.
