Sachem is an Indian word which signifies chieftain and the men of the highest honorary society for senior men at KU adopted it to name their aggregation.
Sachem echoes Indian lore
To the rhythmic beat of tomtoms and the weird chant of an old Indian peace ceremony, new members of Sachem are initiated in a ritual and ceremony translated from an old Sioux Indian peace treaty. Following the Indian tradition they smoked the pipe of peace around a blazing campfire built in front of a teepee. From inside the teepee voices emerge. They are the voices of the spirits talking to the new pledges.
"SELECTION OF Sachems in my day was made during a student rally in front of Green Hall. New members were lifted on the shoulders of the old members," said Raymond Nichols, vice chancellor of finance and Sachem faculty adviser.
Men are chosen in the spring of every year from men in the junior class. Members are chosen by a vote of the members of that year and by a faculty vote.
A local chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa, national honor society for men, Sachem began as a local group in 1947.
Sachem, honor society for senior men, was founded at KU in the fall of 1910 by 12 upperclassmen and graduate students. It was the first distinctive class society to be formed here.
THE ORGANIZATION requires a minimum 1.5 over-all grade point average. Identification with University interests and activities is a requisite for membership.
The 1913 Jayhawkmer says the society's objective is "to promote and foster a spirit of fellowship and a close acquaintanceship

Catch Toucan
The bird was found in the Canal Zone where Hall and Sam Dickenson, museum artist, had gathered material to finish the museum's tropical life exhibit.
Those wishing to know what real Jayhawks looked like in 1952 could view a Toucan bird specimen believed by E. R. Hall, director of the Museum of Natural History, to resemble closely the Jayhawk.
Like the Indian chiefs of old, the members of Sachem must live up to a rigid standard. A Sachem must excel in character, scholarship, leadership, unselfish service and breadth of interest.

Saechem is the sponsor of the Rock Chalk Cairn which was constructed in 1826 on the slope of the hill between the Campanile and Memorial Stadium. In 1941, the Cairn, formerly located part way up the hill between the stadium and Strong Hall, was moved to the brow of the hill and a circular wall of native Onaga stone was built around the memorial to honor the outstanding traditions of KU.
EACH YEAR A stone is added to the Rock Chalk pile beside the Cairn. In 1834 a step from Old Snow Hall was placed upon the pile to honor Dr. E. H. S. Bailey, professor of chemistry, who with two others from the science department originated the Rock Chalk yell. The yell was composed May 21, 1886.
Sachem has another duty. It takes care of the tom-tom trophy, which is awarded to the winner of the KU-MU football game. Established in 1937, as a symbol of victory, the trophy is a genu-
