Beta Beta Beta Beta Beta Beta, a national honorary fraternity, is repre- sented on this campus by our Beta Theta chapter. The fra- ternity’s purpose is to stimulate interest in all fields of biological sciences and scientific investigation. Member- ship is reserved for majors who have maintained academic records above the University average, and who have shown special aptitude in biology. The chapter welcomed back Dr. Hagquist, Professor of Biology and a charter member. In November three mem- bers from Westhampton were formally initiated. Dr. A. B. Gathright, Jr., Acting Director of the Tumor Clinic, Medical College of Virginia, was the speaker at Convocations sponsored by Tri-Beta on March 8th. An- nouncement of six new members preceded Dr. Gathright’s address on Cancer Control. Initiation of a new field of service by Tri-Beta this year took the form of supplying a biological supply house with hydra from the lake. This opens a wide fil d for explora- tion in the future. The chapter also sponsored the Biology Club, an organization open to any student interested in this field. The University Choir The Choir has had a most successful year under the direction of Mrs. F. Flaxington Harker. The program for this year consisted of singing at Vespers and Convocation and the traditional presentation of Handel’s Messiah be- fore the Christmas holidays. The Choir met regularly once a week with extra prac- tices for special events. The membership was composed of Westhampton College women and Richmond College men. Beta Beta Beta.
