Rko Chi Society First Row: L. Howard, L. Block, H. Sohmer, J. Ricci, Dr. A. Liebmai Frank J. Slama, Dr. J. Leslie, Dr. F. Miller, Dr. N. Foss. Second Rote: Dr. C. Ic-hniowski, Dr. The Rho Chi Society was fonned in 1922, with Omicron Chapter at the University of Maryland having been founded and chartered in 1930. Since this time, it has functioned actively to promote the advancement of the pharmaceutical sciences through the encour- agement of recognition of intellectual scholar- ship, to promote scholarly fellowship, and to encourage pharmaceutical research. Admission into the Society is by election and is considered to be the highest distinct honor that can be bestowed upon a phannacy student. Essential qualities of the Rho Chi members include character, scholarship, lead- ership and service. The high standards main- tained for membership in Rho Chi have resulted in the general recognition of the Society, not only by phannacy but by aca- demic circles generally. The Society is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies. Rho Chi is an active Society providing immediate stimulus to undergraduate scholar- ship and also to interest students in graduate studies. Regular meetings and other activities empha- size the professional aspects of phannacy and point the way to instnictive study and research. It sei-ves to bring undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty members together in fraternal and helpful association. By such means, Rho Chi seeks to increase the awareness of the ethical and social respon- sibilities of the profession and to enhance its prestige. 25
