CHANCELLORS WILLIAM INGO MARSCHALL, JR. Grand Chancellor, Spring 1954 Chancellors is a legal honorary society found only at our own Texas Law School, having been organized in 1912 for the purpose of honoring and rewarding by election to membership those law students most likely to succeed and to become a credit to their profession. A combination of consistent scholarship, achievements, and personality, as exemplified by class standing and work on the Texas Law Review are requisites for election to membership. Six students are tapped each semester, adding their numbers to the hundreds of outstanding members of the Texas bar who have received this high honor.

CHANCELLORS Now members of Chancellors arc rudely tapped in the various classrooms in one of the most impressive ceremonial traditions of the Texas Law School. The new initiates are then hooded, laden with heavy books, and paraded throughout Townes Hall and even over a large part of the main campus of the University. Chancellors are the traditional keej crs of the Peregrin us, which is brought out of its secret hiding place only on rare and sf ccial occasions. The Chancellors also escort the Portia in the annual Round-Up Parade. Chancellors enjoy 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 Martin dale-Hubbcll Law Directory. WILLIAM L.
