- Honorary Law Group Chooses Only Graduates
One of the unusual honorary organizations on our campus is the Order of the Coif, found only in the field of law. The chapter here was organized on Oct. 17, 1924.
The unusual thing about this club is that the members appointed each year are graduating seniors, therefore, it is not an active club on the campus. The only time members get together as a club is at the national convention, which is held every two years.
To be eligible for this organization, a student in the School of Law must have a B average. Only 10 per cent of a senior class can be appointed so the higher averages get first choice. Another big factor is character. Each year the local chapter can also appoint one honorary member.
The best way to describe the functions of the Coif is a quote from their constitution, "To foster a spirit of careful study, and to mark in a fitting manner, those who have attained a high grade of scholarship."
The Order of the Coif dates back to the early English courts when an organization denoting scholarly legal men of that day was formed. The name Coif comes from the wig that English judges wore. The first national organization in the United States was founded in February 1912. Since then it has spread to 43 chapters located at law schools all over the country.
All the faculty members of the School of Law are members of the Coif. The president of the local chapter is Dean F. J. Moreau and the secretary-treasurer is Dr. R. M. Davis.
The selection of new members by the chapter here, is usually done before Law School day and are announced at the banquet.

Antarctica has the highest mean elevation of the world's seven continents, 6,000 feet, says the National Geographic Society. Europe, with an average altitude of 980 feet, is the lowest. Other mean altitudes are: Asia, 3,000 feet; North America, 2,000 feet; Africa, 1,900 feet; South America 1,800 feet; and Australia, 1,000 feet.
Eldon Telfit' instructor in design, will fly to Mexico City, March 1 to act as sculptor's representative at the casting of the bronze doors for the World War II Memorial campanile.
Campanile Doors To Be Bronze Cast
The doors, which depict scenes of Kansas history, will be cast in bronze by a method called the "lost wax" process. This process, though very old, is not very well known because it has been kept relatively secret by the firms who use it
Mr. Teft will spend about three weeks studying casting processes in order to assist in the construction and teaching of foundry methods here. This study may be used to enlarge the instruction of sculpture into a major in the School of Fine Arts.
Mr. Teft explained that the "lost wax" method of casting involves filling a mold with wax and then slowly pouring in molten bronze which replaces the melted wax and the wax is thus lost.
An average of 33 ships pass through the Suez Canal daily. A typical cargo ship pays a toll of $5,800 for passing through the canal. But it saves a voyage around the Cape of Good Hope that would cost about $28,000.
Tokyo—(U.R.)-Movie actress Marilyn Monroe was confined to her bed today with a virus believed contacted in Korea where she appeared before thousands of servicemen in below-freezing weather clad only in a thin, lowcut dress.
Marilyn's Skimpy Attire Not Just the Thing for Korea
The illness may postpone plans by Marilyn and her new husband, Joe DiMaggio, to leave Tokyo for the United States tomorrow.
The blonde star became sick about 3 am. today, and her worried husband called in Capt. Bobby Brown, former third baseman for the New York Yankees who is attached to an army hospital in Tokyo.
"She's still in bed and still running a temperature," a friend of the Di Maggios said. "About 45 minutes ago it was still a little over 100."
"She's got some kind of virus," the friend said, "but we don't know exactly what it is."
Capt. Brown and another doctor were to examine Marilyn tomorrow at 11 a.m., in her Imperial Hotel room. If the doctors decide she can travel, the Di Maggios will take a 2 p.m. plane home. If, however, they decide she needs more rest, the newlyweds will remain in Tokyo a day or two more.
At the time Di Maggio called Capt. Brown, Marilyn had a fever of about 103 degrees.
During her four-day tour of Korea, Marilyn appeared before more than 60,000 U.S. troops.
Despite Capt. Brown's orders to stay in bed, the actress spent part of the afternoon posing for pictures by amateur photographers in the hotel
The Di Maggios were scheduled to attend a farewell dinner tonight. When she became ill, Joe at first refused to go, but Marilyn insisted that he attend because "one of us should be present."
Her stage costume consisted only of a skintight, purple dress which exposed her shoulders to the bitter Korean weather.
After she posed for photographers, she re-did her hair and then returned to bed.
The first Chinese student to graduate from an American college was Yung Wing, who received his bachelor's degree from Yale university in 1854. He later served as China's associate minister to the United States and in 1876 received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Yale.
