IN l925 a group of undergraduates met to form a society for the promotion of the higher ideals and tenets of Medicine. The name Co?1tin was selected after the Lctin continuetur Let it be carried on. At first its members were chosen from the unofficial highlights of the class. Later, a faculty committee presented a more official list of eligibles from which to choose. Finally, in l93O, it was decided to eliminate the personal element entirely and to select the new candidates on a basis of scholarship. The society now selects stu-dents in the upper ten percent of the class who are approved by a faculty committee and are then sub- ject to the unanimous consent of the undergraduate members. The higher five percent are elected in the 3rd year and they must maintain a B plus average to remain eligible: the re- maining five percent are chosen in the fourth year, thereby offering an opportunity to those students who do exceptionally well in the third year. The Society is very proud of its faculty members, honorably elected because of original research and other contributions toward the advancement of Medicine. Our Alumni body is quite active and has been helpful and kin-d to the undergraduate members. The activities of the Society during the College year usually consist of an Induction Ban- quet, a few open and closed discussions, The Contin Lecture, and lastly a farewell dinner to the graduating members. At the Induction Banquet, the new members are formally ac- cepted and a distinguished member of the Medical World is a guest speaker. The entire student body is invited to attend our open meetings This year, there were a series of lectures on How Should the Undergraduate Prepare Himself for Surgery , In- ternal Medicine , and Specialties . The annual Contin Lecture is also an open affair. A prominent scientist is selected to speak on his particular contribution. The outlook for the future, and this should especially interest the first and second year men, is very bright. The College has expanded rapidly during the last few years and con- tinued progress is in view. The Contin Society should and will keep pace. It has submitted a formal application for membership to the National Honorary Alpha Omega Alpha Frater- nity. It expects to be accepted as a chapter in the near future.
