Tl-IIE O30 Wl'lTE BERGER OF PIIUGRESS Skull and Chain i Rudolph Walborn Earl Schneider James Price Herbert Veler KULL AND CHAIN, senior men's honorary fraternity, was founded on the Wittenberg campus in 1922, and has existed since then as perhaps the finest way in which honor is conferred upon those to whom honor is due. Membership in Skull and Chain, coming as it does at the end , , of the collegiate career, signifies preeminence in scholarship, activities, ' 1 and campus popularity-preeminence sustained through four years of constant testing and analyzing in the laboratory of undergraduate life. Q . . 9 f sl The group is purely honorary, justifying its existence-per se- by its very existence rather than by engagement in any activity. The group is self-perpetu- ating, its membership thus being without the pale of political bickering which might creep into selection by a popular elective process. Each year, usually in May, the organization sponsors a Tap Day ceremony at which the members for the following year are chosen. The seniors enrolled in Skull and Chain throughout the year 1928-'29 are: Earl Schneider, james Price, Rudolph Walborn, and Herbert Veler. Each of these men has had a meritorious and diversified record and richly deserves the high honor of membership in Skull and Chain. Earl Schneider is president of Boost Wittenberg Association and Blue Key, national honorary fraternity. He is a member of Pick and Pen, Scroll and Quill. the lnterfraternity Council, and Tau Kappa Alpha. In his junior year he was editor of the Wittenberger. Mr. Schneider was a varsity debater and has been chosen class orator. james Price has been one of Wittenberg's outstanding gridiron luminaries for three years, a baseball letter man, and a member of Blue Key. He was for two years a member of the Student Chest board and has been one of the most popular students at the college. Rudolph Walborn is a member of the Boost Wittenberg Association, Blue Key, and Scroll and Quill. He has been a member of the orchestra for three years, Y. M. C. A., and Student Chest board. Mr. Walborn is editor-in-chief of the Torch. Herbert Veler has been manager and president of the Student Chest board. He was president of the junior class, senior class play manager, and a member of the Boost Wittenberg Association and Blue Key. He has been a member of the XYitt staff for three years.
