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 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 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 anil change of name. The revision and recommendations were ratified by the chapters and in February of 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 per cent of the Senior Class who have attained the highest rank in their law school work. The University of Texas chapter has an additional requirement that the student must have completed six units of Texas Law Review work. JUNE, 1956 COIF ELECTEES Joseph Evans Attwell Mrs. Marian O.
