Elizabeth Anthony President Mary Lou Dodge . f ice-president Jean Grant .... Secretary Elizabeth Meakin . . Treasurer Mortar Board is a national organization formed to stimulate college loyalty and advance the spirit of fairness and fellow- ship among women. It strives to maintain high standards of scholarship among the student body. Mortar Board sponsored the Cinderella Spin, an all-col- lege dance, at the beginning of Winter term. They also carried on the May Morning Sing jointly with the Tower Guard. One of their most noteworthy achievements was the sponsorship of the Spring term marriage course. During Homecoming the old alums became the eager purchasers of their song books. Mortar Board has also been of great assistance this year with the faculty coffee hours, which aid the students in becom- ing acquainted individually with their professors. Lantern night, on which the graduates pass down their symbols of office to the succeeding class, is their last activity. ' MORTAR BOARD HOPEFULLY SPONSORS A MARRIAGE COURSE 31

Election to member- ship in the group means to the individual that he has reached the top in his special extra-curricular field and has been active in others also. 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. At the Water Carnival, during Senior Week, ten men are tapped into Excalibur. 30
