Order of the Tower Our college tower: rise high. HESE same lofty towers of which we sing in our Alma Mater have become symbolic of ambition, sacrificial service and successful achievement. Although other col- leges and universities had honor organiza- tions as, for example, Phi Beta Kappa, Friends University had none prior to 1931. In the spring of 1929 at a meeting of the Alumni Association of Friends University, a committee was formed for the establish- ment of an honor society for Friends Alumni. The committee worked on the matter during the next two years, and the organization was completed at the initial meeting of the Order of the Tower, june, IQKQI. The purpose of the society is to stimulate and recognize achievement in the scholastic field. Membership in the group was made retroactive. Those who were graduated be- fore 1923 with a grade average of 2.09 or above were eligible, as well as those who received scholarships or fellowships upon graduation. In 1925 the practice of graduat- ing students with honors was begun, and such students now constitute the list of elig- ible members. There are thirty-one charter members and twenty have since been taken into membership. On insignia day the seniors to be graduated with honors are decorated with the scarlet sash on which is embroidered a gold tower. The Order of the Tower meets a11nually on Saturday of commencement week. There is a noon luncheon followed by a business meeting and the ceremonial of presentation of keys. These emblems are either gold pen- dants or pins in the shape of the main tower of Friends University. Formerly to receive membership the candidate was required to appear in person at the luncheon. By an amendment those eligible may now become members through written application pre- sented by a proxy. The executive board consists of all the of- PAGE THIRTY 5 i FLo1:ENE W.fX'FKINS fR1ighlj and EL1zr1BE'1'11 C.-1swL1.L fLcfzj Who with Sister Vivienne Dicus, entered the Order of the Tower from the Class of '33.
