ARTHUR L DAVIS Treasurer MARTIN J. ENGEL Sigma Sigma Omicron, the honorary scholar- ship fraternity, aims to promote scholarship and foster a respect for scholastic achievement among the students of the college. Founded in 1933, the membership is limited to twenty students of Junior or Senior standing, whose accumulative indices are 2.25 or higher. Originally merely called the Honor Society, the name was changed to its present form in 1938 and the motto, Service through Scholarship for Washington, was adopted. Its most recent ac- S.S.D HONOR SOCIETY complishment is the adoption by the adminis- tration of a Dean ' s list, granting unlimited cuts to Juniors and Seniors having indices of at least 2.25. Due to the summer session ' s making three people eligible for membership at other than the usual time, the society inducted these stu- dents at an assembly late in the fall, initia ting them soon thereafter. However, the usual assem- bly was scheduled for February 27, to take in all other students who became eligible at the close of the first semester. Throughout the year, the Society followed its practice of gathering information about fellowships available at differ- ent universities for the benefit of any interested members of the student body.
