YATES JOHN P. RITCHIE ORDER OF THE COIF AND HONORS The American Order of the Coif is the outgrowth of an earlier society known as Theta Kappa Nu, founded at the University of Illinois in 1902 for the purpose of promoting scholarship among American law- students. The first national convention of Theta Kappa Nu met on Feb. 18, 1911, at the Hotel LaSalle, Chicago, and decided to submit to the chapters for adoption not only a thoroughly revised national constitution, but also a recommendation that the name be changed to the Order of the Coif. This constitution and change of name were ratified by the chapters and thus in February, 1912, the first national organization of the Order of the Coif was effected. Today there are forty-three chapters of the Order. Election to membership in all cases is restricted by the national constitution to the 10% of the Senior Class who have attained the highest rank in their law school work. The University of Te'xas chapter has an additional requirement that the student must have completed six units of Texas Law Review work.

CHANCELLORS Chancellors, a legal honorary society found only at the University of Texas, was organized at the Law School in 1912. The purpose of Chancellors is to honor and reward by election to membership those law students who have shown themselves most likely to succeed and become a credit to their profession by a combination of consistent scholarship, personality, and achievement, as demonstrated by class standing and work on the Texas Law Review. Six men are tapped each semester, and over a period of years hundreds of the finest and most outstanding members of the Texas bar have received this honor. New members of Chancellors are rudely tapped in the various classrooms in one of the most impressive ceremonial traditions of the Texas Law School. The new initiates are hooded and arc paraded carrying heavy law books through every part of Townes Hall and over a large area of the main campus. The Chancellors are the traditional keepers of the Peregrinus, which is produced from its secret hiding place only on special occasions. They also arc the annual escorts for the Law School Portia in the Round-Up Parade. Chancellors enjoys the hard-won and unique distinction of being the only local legal honorary society which is noted by the name of its members in the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory. DELMAR L.
