CROWFOOT OCIETY Crowfoot Society is the Honorary'Society of The Philadelphia Textile lnstitute. It was founded in 1925 for the purpose of joining together an active unit of conscientious young men around which might revolve a means of stimulating undergraduate opinion and action advantageous to both the student body and The Textile Institute. The success of the organization has been evidenced in the years since its inception by the interest of the mem- bers and student body in the activities of Crowfoot. The insigna of the society is a key in the form of a crowis foot which bears in its claw a scroll upon which is engraved the greek let- ters which mean EXCELSIOR the ancient symbol of the magistrates. Membership to the society requires that a student maintain a scholastic standing of two-and-a half grade points for the year previous to his admission. Other factors con- sidered are attitude toward work, extra curri- cular activities and good fellowship. Pros- pective members names are submitted by the society to the members of the faculty who check their eligibility, and give their views on the candidates before their final selection by the society. The allotment for membership from each class is limited to two men, making a total of eight picked each year. In addition to the two men from the Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes the men holding the following oliices: The President of the Senior Class, President of The Textile Club, and Editor-in-Chief of the Analysis due to their high position in the student body may be selected even though their class quota has been filled. In the spring of each year the Crowfoot Society holds its annual banquet to which the whole school is invited. At this banquet the new members are utappedw into the Society. Prior to their being Htappedi' the names of those selected are kept secret. Another feature of this banquet which makes it so enjoyable to the students is the practice of giving knockers which in some way depicts an outstanding characteristic of their personality to the members of the faculty. The Society is fortunate in having Dean Cox as its faculty advisor and a honorary member of the Society.
