Sigma Sigma Phi Scholarship Cup A LARGE scholarship cup is presented each year by the Alpha Chapter of Sigma Sigma Phi, national honorary scholastic fraternity, to the social fraternity on the campus having the highest scholastic average for the school ycar. Competition for this trophy is extremely keen, all the fraternities vieing with each other to have this symbol of honors adorn the 1nantle in their house. The averages are graded so closely that in one year a fraternity lost the cup by having an average of .0-I ol' a point below its closest competitor. Due to the keen competition for this cup the fraternities have 1nade it a rule that all freshman student residents of the hourse have to study a certain number of hours each evening. Also, all other classmen study during a certain study period which is set aside, and quietness prevails, as one student in the house may be the determining factor in winning this coveted trophy. For that reason the midnight oil is often seen burning in the fraternity houses, to ever be prepared for the day of averaging grades, and the annual scholarship prize. This award is presented after a conference of members of the faculty. This group of faculty advisors is headed by the dean of the college. The presentation takes place during a banquet of the Sigma Sigma Phi Fraternity. In 1937-38 the cup was awarded to the Atlas Club.
