Membership is restricted to thirteen men. From the beginning of college when all freshmen are addressed by the Student Council president and other prominent activity heads, the aim of every man is to become a member of Excalibur. For Excalibur carries with it the distinction of wearing the dark blue robe, and the privilege of lunching once weekly with a select group, and exchanging ideas with them over the table. Excalibur men are singled out from others on the campus by their distinctive sport coats, this year light tan, emblazoned with the darker brown letter X. It denotes excellence of character, scholastic achievement, and leadership on the campus. Junior classmen active in organizations are watched all year by these thirteen.
