The promotion of literature and of li ll friendly intercourse among scholars Was the aim of the society as set forth in the first ii ,ill E, 1 constitution. . 1 . 1? Within five years, chapters were founded at Harvard and Yale and a few years later ,fl H at Dartmouth. twill In 1831, Harvard Chapter gave up its individual secrets and in the same year its N T j motto Philosophy, the Guide to Life became public. C l Today, fifty-two colleges and universities have chapters. 1 if , u Membership is conferred upon those undergraduates who are the best scholars in fi 1 certain courses in college. ' z i ' U fi if Alpha Chapter was instituted at Nebraska in 1895, the class of '96 being the first it 1 seniors to have the honor conferred upon them. At this time, however, the society elected members back from the preceding classes. J . S. Dales, one of the two members of the I Q if-jiri first graduating class, was among those elected.

'.- Jails-4 But the increase in the enrollment of the students is yet more remarkable. In 1871-72 when the college was founded there were 20 students of collegiate rank. These in 1890 had increased to 17 4. In 1910, twenty years later, the number had grown to 1,155. Last year in spite of the fact that students in the Teachers College and in the College of Busi- ness Administration have all of them been drawn from the College of Arts, the number registered was 2,870. But one must also keep in mind the service the College of Arts and Sciences renders its sister colleges on this campus and the College of Agriculture. Nearly all of the work except what is purely professional or technical is supplied by one or other of the de- partments of the College. All the aid in pure Science, in Language, in the Social Sciences except Economics, in English, in Mathematics, is rendered by departments in the College of Liberal Arts, and though the many students in these classes are counted as registered in one or other of the professional colleges a large portion of their time is spent in the class rooms or laboratories under the more general faculty of the University. In this way there is most excellent cooperation between the various divisions of the University, duplication of work is avoided, and the students of whatever aim are brought into close contact. One should not in this history forget the members of the faculty of the college. Its old deans-H. E. Hitchcock, 1876-1879, Samuel Aughey, 1879-1882, H. E. Hitchcock, 1882-1884, George McMillan, 1884-1886, Grove E. Barber, 1886-1887, Lucius A. Sherman, 1887-1888 Cnow Dean of the Graduate Collegel, Charles E. Bessey, 1888-1901, Ellery W. Davis, 1901-1919. There are many students still with us who remember Dean Davis. His spirit of independent scholarship and moral and intellectual rectitude has left a deep influence upon both students and faculty. One can not forget the influence of great teachers like Dean Bessey and Professor Edgren. Some of those who have followed the history of the college from earliest times cannot forget men now with us, but who have by a life time of devotion earned a partial retirement-Professor Howard, Professor Barber, Professor Lees, Professor Caldwell. The college, has been distinguished by a goodly share of intellectual work now pre- served in books. To list the publications of some of its professors would be no small matter and unduly lengthen this history, but a few may be taken as illustration- The Family and The Marriage by Professor Howard, a dozen volumes of history, a large volume on Rest Days by Professor Webster, two volumes of literary and critical essays by Professor Frye, a similar volume by Professor Glass, a volume on Ballads by Professor Pound, several volumes of poetry and philosophical essays by Professor Alexander, ex- cellent textbooks by Dean Sherman, Professor Grumman, Professor Deming, Professor Fossler, and others, a book on South America by Professor Warshaw, and studies on Shakespeare by Professor Sherman. To list the special monographs, like those of Pro- fessor Pool or Professor Weaver, would extend the list indefinitely. But after all the chief influence of a college is to raise the standards and ideals of those who share its life. For a college is a union of faculty and students, and its strength will be as the cooperation of the two in pursuits intellectual.

The or- ganization was planned by two engineers who felt that an honorary scientific society was highly desirable. At the time, however, it was strictly an engineering society. Very soon all branches of science were included in its membership. The society aims to encourage research in science, pure and applied, by the selection of promising candidates to its membership, and by bringing together at its meetings men and women who are devoting themselves to some branch of experimental science. The Nebraska chapter was established in 1897. The total number of alumnae is 532. Members Sigma Xi R. S. Abbott Emma N. Andersen' S. B. Arenson C. W. Ackerson Esther S. Anderson E. H Barbour J. E.
