PHI BETA KAPPA While llic University does not have a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, there does exist on campus a cer- tain group of faculty elected to the honorary society elsewhere who banded together under the late Pro- fessor Patterson in 1932 to encourage liberal scholar- ship on the campus. The society meets together three times a year. At its most recent meeting a long discussion of the new liberal arts curriculum at Amherst College was held. President Charles W. Cole of Amherst being the guest speaker. It is the hope of the members that in the near future an undergraduate chapter may be established. In the meanwhile, the association nominates a Phi Beta Kappa Scholar from each year ' s graduating class. OFFICERS President: Dr. Gilbert L.
