Mortar Board is the highest honor a junior or senior woman can receive. The DePauw chapter was established in 1919, a year after its founding at Syracuse University. Its name was taken from a similar senior honorary of Ohio State Univer- sity. Girls chosen for their outstanding scholar- ship, leadership, service, and personality are pledged at the annual May Day breakfast. Meet- ings are held twice a month at which they make their plans for various activities: the Old Gold Day mixer, a tea for transfers in the fall: and a scholarship banquet in the spring for women students making forty points or more during the first semester. Otlicers for the year 1937-38 were Louise Lindley, president: Irene Boyd, vice- president: Janet Dow, secretary: and Helen Phillips. treasurer.
