ORDER OF THE COIF The American Order of the Coif is the outgrowth of an earlier society known as Theta Kappa Nu, founded at the Univcrity of Illinois in 1902 for the purpose of promoting scholarship among American law students. The first national convention of Theta Kappa Nu met on February 18, 1911, at the Hotel La Salle, Chicago, and decided to submit to the chapters for adoption not only a thoroughly revised national constitution, but also a recommendation 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 chapter of the Order. Flection to membership in all cases is restricted by the national constitution to the 10 per cent of the Senior Class who have attained the highest rank in their law school work. The I niversity of Texas chapter has an additional requirement that the student must have completed six units of Texas Law Review work.

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.
