Y I . 5 9 V, e ? I. ll I ..M Pi Gamma Mu was organized in Room 23 of Richardson Hall in April, 1924. Realiz- ing the need of more cooperation between students of the several branches of social science, Dr. Allen suggested that a general social science honorary society be formed. His plan was accepted with enthusiasm, and each charter member contributed twenty-five cents to show his faith in the future of the group. This honorary society is composed of about twelve per cent of the junior and senior classes and the professors in the field of social science. The members are persons of highest character, personality and scholarship with distinguished records in social science, giving promise of a high degree of usefulness in scientific social study or in the general field of social science. The scope of the society includes all branches of social science which deal with human relationship and are capable of making contributions to the solution of social prob- lems. Social activities of the group consist of the spring meeting, initiation of new members and an informal dinner. This year, Agnes Nurse is president of the Kansas Alpha Chapter. Versed in the Science of Textiles Home economics majors who have leader- ship and ability in their field and high scholastic average are chosen to be members of Kappa Omicron Phi, home economics national honorary fraternity.
