Marshal is a national honor society for women of the legal profession founded upon high scholastic achievement. Alpha Chapter received its charter and was formally installed at Columbus University March 14, 1936, and has grown and flourished until at present it boasts a membership of 84 graduates and students. The achievements and success of the Sorority have been and are largely due to the sustained interest and intelligent guidance of Dean Fitzpatrick and the Sorority's faculty advisor, Professor Donohue. The latterls Easter Party, given annually to the Sorority, is THE outstanding function of the season. Monthly meetings are usually held at the homes of the different members where some special attraction Supplements more serious matters. Our initiation was held February 18, 1940, at the Carlton Hotel when twelve mem- bers were received into the Chapter. Guests at the tea and at the banquet following the initiation services included the Dean and Mrs. Fitzpatrick, Professor Donohue, Judge Ellen K. Ready, Judge Fay L. Bentley, and Mrs. Helena D. Reed, President of the Women,s Bar Association of the District of Columbia. Social events of the season worthy of particular mention were: the tea at the Carlton Hotel on December 10, 1939, in honor of the women of the Freshman Law Class and those in the Junior and Senior classes eligible for membership, the at homesu given by Mary and Helen Collins, Louise McGuire and Doris Williamson, the pledge party at Nora Saur,s, and the Spring Breakfast Mary E.
