The membership in the club is primarily limited to agronomy students, but any man who has the schol- astic ability and interest in soils and crops may be elected to membership. Character and integrity are highly stressed in the selection of new members, These requirements assure an organization outstand- ing in its field. Two essay contests are sponsored each year by Ceres, one for upperclassmen and the other for fresh- men. These essays deal with various soil and crop subjects. The winners are awarded the Dickenson Seed Cup for upperclassmen and the Ceres Cup for freshmen, These essays have been published and much interest has been shown in the contests. To further its activities, Ceres assists in the corn judg- ing contest which is held in connection with the an- nual roundup the first week in lVlay.

ALPHA ZETA HE third honorary to be established on the cam- pus and the most important of the agricultural groups is Alpha Zeta. This organization was found- ed at Ohio State University in l897, and a chapter was established at Purdue ten years later. Alpha Zeta is composed entirely of men of the junior and senior classes who are outstanding in scholarship, leadership, and character. Among the many worthwhile projects sponsored by the Purdue chapter is the awarding of the Alpha Zeta Scholarship Trophy. The trophy is a plaque bearing the winners name, awarded each semester to the freshman who has the highest scholarship index. Each year Alpha Zeta holds a smoker with a pro- gram of special interest to the freshmen. This smok- er affords a method of aquainting newcomers with the organization and is open only to members of Alpha Zeta and the freshmen in the School of Agri- culture. Many of the prominent leaders in American agri- culture are members of this chapter of the fraternity.

HGOF AND HORN INCE its establishment in 1911, the Hoof and Horn Club has grown to be one of the most im- portant organizations of the School of Agriculture. This club is made up of juniors, seniors, and faculty members who have shown an active interest in ani- mal husbandry at Purdue. The purpose of the organization is to better ac- quaint the members with practical animal husbandry and to stimulate and encourage interest in the cor- rect methods of fitting and showing of animals. In addition, the club sponsors the International Livestock judging Teams which are composed of stu- dents from the School of Agriculture who have been selected because of their ability and interest in the work. This activity is one of greatest value to the student as it enables him to get a broader scope of the field of animal husbandry through this practice in judging.
