THE MORTAR BOARD Mortar Board, the first National honor society for women, stands as an inspiration to all underclassnnen. Founded in 1918, the local chapter was founded in 1928. The purpose of Mortar Board is to provide for the cooperation between societies, to promote college loyalty, to advance the spirit of service and fellowship among university women, to maintain a high standard of scholarship, to recognize and encourage leader- ship, and to stimulate and develop a finer type of college woman. In the spring, the outstanding Junior women are tapped on the basis of service, scholarship, and leadership In campus life. As members of Mortar Board, these women carry evidence of a well- rounded college life carried out successfully. The organization assisted with the fall orientation program, con- tinued the tutoring bureau, sponsored the annual Harvest Moon Ball, entertained the nearby chapter at Westhamplon College, sponsored cultural trips to Richmond, and initiated a now move- ment by having a spring training program for campus officers. They also served as hostesses at receptions, gave a smarty party for ten students in each class having the highest scholastic aver- age, and a scholarship plaque to the Sophomore with the highest scholastic average.
