The dean will notify the department concerned of his approval of such application, and the students will confer with the department with reference to work of his junior and senior years.

Ceremony Sets Precedent
"This is the first public ceremony for the induction of members into this honor society of men of the University," began Cancellor E. H. Lindley, "your acquaintance with leadership among men of the University has made you familiar with these men. I think you will agree that nothing can be more important than to honor university than to honor its student leaders. Remember also that in the present modern life, activities take many forms of leadership.
"Society was formerly very simple; only a few types of leadership were sought. Now there is a multitude of men for leadership; in athletics, in political and in social life. We believe that the role of the Chancellor continued, "in spending call attention to men who have right to membership of this society."
Service All-Important
"Nothing is more important than the discovery of some kind of service for others. To each one who aspirates to this purpose, a path lies in choosing carefully. Because of the small number in the membership of Sachem, it cannot include all the excellent leadership. It does not include all the leadership in the service of the University."
This was the first outdoor convoction of the year and marked also the first time that Sachem has been large, large crowd, extending across the space in front of Blake hall, witnessed the ceremony.
