Mortar Board Is Goal For The Most Outstanding University Women
The black skirts and jackets seen on senior women every Thursday indicate that they are members of Mortar Board, senior honor society for women.
Mortar Board, a national organization, was founded in 1918 at Syracuse, N.Y., by representatives of senior honor societies at four different universities. The name*
different universities. The name was taken from the organization at Ohio State university and the University of Michigan.
The Torch society, established at KU, in 1912, was incorporated into
Mortar Board in 1924. The members of Torch were selected in the spring of their junior year, but their names were not announced to the student body until the following spring.
Each year Mortar Board must take at least five but not more than 20 new members. These women are chosen on the basis of service to the campus, scholarship, and leadership. A list of all junior women is sent to the heads of University departments who check the students they consider worthy of membership. Women who do not have an average three-tenths of a point above the all University average for the past five semesters are automatically dropped. The final selection is made by the active and honorary members of the organization.
The purpose of Mortar Board is "To provide 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."
The active members of Mortar Board are Mary Helen Baker and Joyce Rohrer, fine arts seniors; Peggy Baker, education junior; Bernice Brady, Grace Gwinner, and Bernadine Read, education seniors; Mabel Conderman, business senior; Ruth Keller, journalism senior; Louise Lambert, Ann Learned, Edith Malott, Helen Piller, Josephine Stuckey, and Doris Them, College seniors.
