Campus Group Honors Top Women Students
By TOM SHANNON
Those black skirts and blazers seen on senior women every Thursday designate the wearers as member of Mortar Board, senior women's honor society.
The Mortar Board is dedicated to the purpose of "providing for the cooperation between senior honor societies for women, to promote college loyalty, to advance the spirit of service and fellowship among University women, to maintain a high standard of scholarship and to recognize and encourage leadership, and to stimulate and to develop a finer type of woman."
In choosing new members the chapter considers scholarship, leadership and service to the University. All junior women are eligible and their grade averages are considered for the last five semesters. The grade standard is set by the national organization at three-tenths of a point above the all-University average.
When these lists are returned to the chapter, members consider every junior woman who meets the required grade average, regardless of the number of times her name has been checked by faculty or student members.

By the Mortar board constitution it is necessary for the active chapter to obtain a campus opinion as to the work junior women have performed on the campus. The chapter prepares lists of all junior women which are sent to all department heads and deans of schools. The letter accompanying the list cautions them to make their choice seriously and to consider a woman's activities as well as her grades.

Are we stretching a bit? Maybe — but when you find out how mild and sweet and refreshing the Medicio pipe can be, you'll go for Medicio, too! It's the replaceable filter in Medico that makes the big difference. That little filter traps dangerous nicotine and tars, disagreeable juices and flakes.
That's why countless smokers, beginners and old timers alike, who never enjoyed the pleasures of a pipe, now enjoy the clean mild fragrance of Medico – the pioneer in filtered smoking.
Try a Medico Pipe. See why Medicina filter has sold over a billion to date!
