INDIVIDUAL RECORDS OF PHI BETA KAPPA SENIORS

The following interesting information on the seniors of high scholastic standing appeared in a recent issue of The Dartmouth:

Several notable observations are to be made in looking over the past records and future intentions of the 26 men of the class of 1923, who, through their ability to attain an average scholastic standing of 3.2 for seven consecutive semesters, or of 3.4 in their courses up to senior year, have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

An unusual number of these men were graduated from high schools before coming to college, 24; while the other two came from socalled preparatory schools. One of these two men attended the school which this year won the Dartmouth plaque for the high scholarship of the school's delegation in the class of 1926.

Certificates were accepted for the admission of 21 of the Phi Beta Kappa men. Two men were admitted by transfer certificates from other colleges, and the same number took entrance examinations. One man was allowed to enter by presidential exception.

Geographically the homes of the men are not widely distributed; for, only three men are from west of the Mississippi, two from Minnesota and one from California. New England is represented by half of the men in this year's delegations in Phi Beta Kappa. The remaining 10 men are from New York City or its vicinity.

While fraternity men compose approximately 64 percent of the senior class, they retain their majority among the honor students of the class by a smaller margin. Fourteen, or 54 percent, of the Phi Beta Kappa men are members of fraternities at Dartmouth.

In extra-curriculum activities, although not all of the Phi Beta Kappa men have been outstanding, they have displayed active interest. One man is a member of Palaeopitus and is manager of varsity track, and another has been captain of the fencing team for two years. Almost every campus activity boasts a Phi Beta Kappa man.

During the past week a heeler from TheDartmouth has collected information from each of the men personally, concerning their intended work after leaving college this June. This information shows that nine of the men will return to the graduate schools of the College next September, six to the Tuck School, two to the Medical School, and one to the Thayer School. Of the 26 men all but five will attend graduate schools somewhere, and thus will specialize for professional work.

Again there appears the son of a member of the Dartmouth faculty among the Phi Beta Kappa group.

Stamford High School of Stamford, Conn., has three seniors in the Phi Beta Kappa delegation and leads all other schools in this respect.

The major studies of the 26 men are distributed widely. The greatest number of men majoring in any one department is five, who are in the Tuck School.
