Pi Gamma u Mere thought became significant reality with the outgrowth of the national social science fraternity, Pi Gamma Mu, from a suggestion made by Dean Leroy Allen, then head of the depart- ment of economics, at a meeting of Southwestern students majoring in that field, in April, 1924. The suggestion was that a general social science honor society be established, and that one college from each of the forty-eight states should receive an invitation to form one of the charter chapters of the new society. The plan was well received, and as the movement was begun. seventeen colleges by the early fall of' l92-I had signified their approval by agreeing to establish charter chapters. By dint of much hard work on the part of national officers and leaders, the number of organized chap- ters mounted steadily, and at the national convention in Atlantic City in December, l93T. was determined as one hundred twenty-five. The membership at that time was nearly 23,000. Thus, from unpretentious beginnings in Room 23 of Richardson Hall. Pi Gamma Mu has become an organization of national signihcance, recognition, and influence. The aim of Pi Gamma Mu is the promotion of a scientific attitude toward all social questions and the stimulation of an intense and lasting interest of college and university students in the study of society. Members of the organization represent every field included in social science ir1 its widest sense. Wilbur Ritter is president of the local chapter. Top row: ALLEN, V. ALLEN, AUNEB, BAKER, BAUMAN, ll.

For over forty years The Collegian has recorded students' activities and served as a means to acquaint the Southwestern supporters with the school, The past year it has been usecl as an important part ol' the publicity xx ork, 200 copies of each issue being distributed among high school libraries in the Southwest Kansas Conference.
