Pl-II ETA SIGMA Phi Eta Sigma is a national honorary fra- ternity for freshman men which was organ- ized at the University of lllinois by Thomas Arkle Clark. There are now thirty chapters of Phi Eta Sigma in the United States, and Lake Forest was the eleventh chapter in- stalled. lt was mainly through the earnest efforts of President Moore and his personal friendship with Dean Goodnight at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin that the local charter was secured in l929. Lake Forest is one of the smallest schools with an authorized charter of Phi Eta Sigma. Dr. H. M. Moore, Dr. R. B. Nifilliams, and Dr. E. A. lohnson are flbl honorary members of the fraternity. The requirement for membership is a 2.5 scholas- tic average for the first semester of the fresh- man year. Members are also accepted who succeed in acquiring that average for both semesters. Edward lenner and Probert Lewis fulfilled the requirement for membership the first semester of this year and were initiated on February 25, l936, in the Henry C. Dur- and Auditorium. The officers for the year were Keith Cady, president, Alfred Kuerst, vice-president: William Wright, secretary: Dale Smith, treasurer, and Myron Perry, historian.
