The student section ofthe A.A.T.C.C. has the unique distinction of being the only group of its kind at P.T.l. conducted by the students under the guidance of a national organization. The parent organization has incorpo- rated in its by-laws, provisions for the mem- bership of students enrolled in educational institutions of a specific type. Students pur- suing courses of study in the application or manufacture of dyes and chemicals for the textile industry, or in the testing and research fields of the textile industry, are eligible to become members. At the monthly meetings conducted in school, the student members are given the opportunity of hearing men Whose effort and time has been directed towards the dyeing and finishing of textiles as Well as men en- A. A. l. ll. C. gaged in the related fields of textile chemis- try and fibre research. These men give us the practical side of what we might expect to encounter when we finish our technical training at school. This form of education is just as important to us as is the theoretical background given in the classrooms and laboratories. The student members are exceedingly grateful for the foresight of those men who have chosen to include them in an organiza- tion of such invaluable aid. OFFICERS Chairman .,....................

II Il ll W HHH , The history of Crowfoot began in l925, when a group of leading students at the old Broad and Pine Streets School gathered to- gether to establish the Crowfoot Honorary Society. In order to form a nucleus around which may be developed student opinion and action to advance the interests of the student body at the Philadelphia Textile School, this Senior Honorary Society to be known as Crowfoot has been called into being, so reads the preamble to its Con- stitution. Membership in Crowfoot requires that a student maintain a two-point grade average for the semester previous to his selection. Other factors considered are extra-curricular activities, attitude towards work, and last but not least, good fellowship. Also, the opinions and recommendations of the faculty are seri- ously evaluated in the final selection. The Constitution has set a maximum of three members each from the Sophomores, lunior, and Senior Classes. However, these quotas need not necessarily be filled. ln ad- dition, the President of the Senior Class and the Editor of the Analysis may also be se- lected, provided they can meet the standards set by the Society. In the Spring of each year, usually dur- ing the week before finals, the crowfoot Society holds its annual banquet, to which the entire student body and faculty is in- vited. At this affair the new members are Tapped into the Society, and presented with the scroll and key of membership. Prior to the Tapping ceremony the names of those selected are kept in strict secrecy. And the insignia of this Society shall be a key in the form of a crow's foot, bear- ing in its claw a scroll, upon which shall be graven a fasces, the ancient symbol of the magistrates, and the coptic letters which translated spell Excelsior.

PHI PSI March 18, 1903 saw the founding of Alpha Chapter of Phi Psi Fraternity at the Philadelphia Textile Institute. The aims of the fraternity were based on three ideals. First, to promote good fellowship among congenial men of the Textile Schools and Colleges with Textile departments, second, to encourage a high standard in textile work, and third, to assist by every honorable means, the advancement of its members. Beginning with a nucleus of five men, Phi Psi has grown to be national in scope. It has nine active chapters and ten Alumni Chapters with over 2,500 members located in most of the states and in many foreign lands. lt is a far-flung organization, but closely welded together in ties of friendship and brotherhood, plus the strengthening bond of business association in later years. During the school year many social events were held. Among them were two freshmen smokers, an informal dance early in the year, the Annual Founders Day Ban- quet, and the highlight of the year the An- nual Spring Formal dance. With such an outstanding background and fine principles upon which its foundation is built, Phi Psi Fraternity will continue to retain its high standard of respect through- out the textile industry and further advance toward the goal of perfection.
