PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 AT WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE. 
 
 The Phi Beta Kappa Society was first organized at William 
 and Mary College, December 5, 1776. John Heath, a student, 
 from Northumberland county, Va., afterwards distinguished 
 for his public services, was the first president. Richard Booker, 
 of Amelia county, was first treasurer, and Thomas Smith, of 
 Gloucester county, was first clerk or secretary. A medal for 
 use and rules for government were promptly adopted. The 
 society continued in active operation till Saturday, the 6th of 
 January, 1781. Three days before this date, the British fleet, 
 bearing Benedict Arnold and his forces, had arrived opposite 
 Jamestown. With invasion at the door, the members of the 
 society who still remained at the college met, and "thinking it 
 most advisable that the records should not be removed, deter- 
 mined to deliver them sealed into the hands of the college stew- 
 ard until the desirable event of the society's resurrection." It 
 is presumable that the records were delivered as resolved. In 
 1783 one of the members — Landon Cabell, present at the meet- 
 ing on January 6, 1781 — ^returned to college, and to him the 
 steward of the college probably surrendered them. At any rate 
 they are next found in the hands of his son, Dr. Robert H. Ca- 
 bell, who, on December 14, 1848, delivered them into the keep- 
 ing of the Virginia Historical Society. {Virginia Historical 
 Register, Vol. II, p. 52.) At the annual meeting of this body 
 in December, 1895, Col. William Lamb, president of the chapter 
 revived at the college, made application for their return. The 
 application was unanimously granted. 
 
 The history of the society at William and Mary College 
 after its suspension in 1781 is a chequered one. While Elisha

 Parmele carried the organization to Yale and to Harvard, 
 whence it spread over the North, no apparent attempt was made 
 for its restoration at William and Mary till 1849. Then an 
 interest was aroused in the subject, and it was discovered that 
 one of the old members, William Short, originally of Surry 
 county, Va., and in the interval distinguished as minister of the 
 United States at the courts of France, Holland, and Spain, 
 was living in Philadelphia at the advanced age of ninety-one. 
 It was a singular fact that he was president of the society when 
 it was interrupted in 1781. Measures were taken to revive the 
 society in the college, with Mr. Short as connecting link with 
 the original society. This was done, and it was in operation till 
 the war between the states in 1861, when the president of the 
 college, professors and students rallied again to arms at the 
 call of Virginia. 
 
 The college came out of the war with blackened walls and 
 greatly diminished revenues. The walls erected in 1693 were 
 once more built upon, and the college was again opened to 
 students in 1867. But the Board of Visitors, after struggling 
 along for several years, were finally forced to close the college 
 in 1881. It remained closed till 1888, when the legislature, 
 being appealed to, came to its assistance and made provision 
 for an annual appropriation. Succeeding this, Congress passed 
 an act to pay the college $65,000 by way of indemnity for dam- 
 ages done during the war. 
 
 In 1893 the college, restored to new hopes and having an 
 attendance of students greater than at any other time in its his- 
 tory, celebrated its two hundredth anniversary. Among the fea- 
 tures of this memorable occasion was the revival of the Phi 
 Beta Kappa Society — a result mainly due to the active en- 
 deavors of Col. William Lamb, of the Board of Visitors. The 
 revival was effected under the auspices of Col. Benjamin S. 
 Ewell, the venerable President Emeritus, one of the members 
 initiated at the revival of 1849.

 UTES WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE 1776-1781. 
 
 On Thursday, the sth of December, in the year of our 
 Lord God one thousand seven hundred and seventy-six, and the 
 first of the commonwealth, a happy spirit and resolution of at- 
 taining the important ends of society entering the minds of 
 John Heath, Thomas Smith, Richard Booker, Armistead Smith, 
 and John Jones, and afterwards seconded by others, prevailed, 
 and was accordingly ratified. 
 
 And for the better establishment and sanctitude of our una- 
 nimity, a square silver medal was agreed on and instituted, en- 
 graved on one side with S. P., the initials of the Latin S 
 
 P , and on the other, agreeable to the former, with the 
 
 Greek initials of 4> B K, and an index imparting a philosophical 
 design, extended to the three stars, a part of the planetary orb, 
 distinguished. 
 
 THE SILVER * B K MEDAL OF 1776. 
 
 In consequence of this, on Wednesday, the sth of January, 
 1777, a session was held in order both to adopt a mode of initia- 
 tion and to provide for its better security. 
 
8 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 And first in corporation, an oath of fidelity being consid- 
 ered as the strongest preservative, an initiation was accordingly 
 resolved upon and instituted as follows : 
 
 I, A. B., do swear on the holy Evangelists of Almighty 
 God, or otherwise, as calling the Supreme Being to attest this 
 my oath, declaring that I will, with all my possible efforts, en- 
 deavor to prove true, just, and deeply attached to this our 
 growing fraternity; in keeping, holding, and preserving all 
 secrets that pertain to my duty, and for the promotion and 
 advancement of its internal welfare. 
 
 March i, 1777. 
 
 Resolved: i. That in every design or attempt, whether 
 great or small, we ought to invoke the Deity, by some private 
 sacrifice or devotion, for a fraternal prosperity. 
 
 3. That every member, after being properly initiated, shall 
 be obliged to furnish himself with a medal, wholly correspond- 
 ing with those of the Fraternity. 
 
 6. That the non-attendance of any single member, unless 
 by some certain obstructing inability, or cogent necessity, sub- 
 jects him to the penalty of five shillings. 
 
 10. That for the encouragement of any new invention of 
 arts and sciences, some premium be allowed from the public 
 treasury. 
 
 II. That six members shall be the fewest sufficient for the 
 execution of business. 
 
 16. That the President be invested with the prerogative of 
 convening the members of this fraternity, when he shall deem it 
 expedient. 
 
 18. That four members be selected to perform at every 
 session, two of whom in matters of argumentation and the 
 others in apposite composition. 
 
 22. That no member shall be expelled without the unani- 
 mous concurrence of the Society. 
 
 23. That every person, after being initiated, pay into the 
 public treasury the sum of 6s.

 Resolved: That, as the price of initiation hitherto paid is 
 inadequate to the purpose, it be augmented to five dollars.

 It being suggested that it might tend to promote the de- 
 signs of this Institution and redound to the honor and advan- 
 tage thereof at the same time, that others more remote or distant 
 will be attached thereto. 
 
 Resolved : That leave be given to prepare the form or ordi- 
 nance of a charter party, to be intrusted with such two or more 
 brothers of the $ B K as to a general meeting shall, on due 
 application for the same, be thought to merit such a trust ; with 
 delegated power in the plan and principles therein laid down, to 
 constitute, establish, and initiate a fraternity correspondent to 
 this, and that a committee be appointed of Mr. President, Mr. 
 Stuart, and Mr. Beckley to prepare a draft of the same and 
 report at next meeting.

 Resolved : That, as the price of initiation hitherto paid is in- 
 adequate to the purpose, it be augmented to ten dollars.

 Mr. Elijah Parmale is recommended as a worthy member 
 of this Society, and on a ballot taken he is unanimously

 Mr. President, leaving the chair, called Mr. Stuart to the 
 same. The Clerk being absent, Mr. Brent is appointed pro 
 tempore. 
 
 Whereas this Society is desirous that the * B K should be 
 extended to each of the United States ; 
 
 Resolved : That a second charter be granted to our brother, 
 Mr. Elisha Parmele, for establishing a meeting of the same in 
 
10 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 the college of New Haven, in Connecticut, to be of the same 
 rank, to have the same power, and to enjoy the same privileges 
 with that which he is empowered to fix in the University of 
 Cambridge. To be called the Zr^ra. 
 
 An adjournment took place. W. Short, President. 
 
 1781. On Saturday, the 6th of January, a meeting of 
 <I> B K was called for the purpose of securing the papers of the 
 Society during the confusion of the times, and the present dis- 
 solution which threatens the University. 
 
 The members who attended were William Short, Daniel C. 
 Brent, Spencer Roane, Peyton Short, and Landon Cabell. They, 
 thinking it most advisable that the papers should not be re- 
 moved, determined to dehver them sealed into the hands of the 
 College Steward, to remain with him until the desirable event 
 of the Society's resurrection. And this deposit they make in 
 the sure and certain hope that the Fraternity will one day rise 
 to life everlasting and glory immortal. 
 
 The original records of the Phi Beta Kappa Society and 
 brief personal sketches of the first fifty members were edited 
 by President Lyon G. Tyler and published in the William and 
 Mary College Quarterly, April, 1896.

 for and was granted a charter for the establishment of a branch 
 of the Society in Westmoreland County. Nor is mention made 
 of the initiation of Bushrod Washington; but that it occurred 
 on May 18, 1780, seems evident from the position of his name 
 between those of John Marshall and Thomas Lee, who were 
 initiated on that date. These fifty men are called our

 FUETHEE HISTORY OF PHI BETA KAPPA.* 
 
 Membership was at first confined to "Collegians who had 
 attained the age of sixteen years, and from the grammar master 
 upward." That is, scholars in the grammar or preparatory de- 
 partment were not eligible. At that time there were in the 
 college two "philosophy schools," as they were called, that of 
 natural philosophy, including mathematics, and that of moral 
 philosophy, in which was taught rhetoric, the Belles-Letters, 
 and moral and mental science. Members of these schools were 
 termed students and wore the cap and gown, and from these our 
 Phi Beta Kappa Fathers were first chosen. At the end of the 
 second year it was "Resolved that in future admission to this 
 Society be not confined to collegians." This was near the time 
 when, under Jefferson's influence, the college was reorganized, 
 the grammar department was discontinued, advanced courses 
 were offered, and post-graduate work was encouraged. The 
 institution took on university characteristics, and was so des- 
 ignated in the minutes of the last Phi Beta Kappa meeting. It 
 thus became possible for men of riper years to study at William 
 and Mary, and by this resolution membership in Phi Beta 
 Kappa was opened to such advanced students. Thus it hap- 
 pened that Captains William Pierce and John Marshall of the 
 Continental Army, and EUsha Parmele, former student at Yale 
 and graduate of Harvard, became members of the organization. 
 
 The next step was to authorize branches of the Society in 
 other towns of Virginia. This may possibly have been sug- 
 gested by members who had left college and missed the cordial 
 fellowship the Fraternity afforded. Had the plan been carried 
 out it must have lowered the standard of membership, for the 
 new branches could not have been composed of students. I

 will quote extracts from the records on this subject. On 
 May 4, 1779, it being suggested that "it might tend to promote 
 the designs of the institution and redound to the honor and 
 advantage thereof at the same time, that others more remote or 
 distant will be attached thereto. Resolved, that leave be given 
 to prepare the form or Ordinance of a Charter party, to be in- 
 trusted with such two or more brothers of the * B K as to a 
 general meeting shall, on a due application for the same, be 
 thought to merit such a trust; with delegated power in the 
 plan and principles therein laid down to constitute, establish 
 and initiate a fraternity correspondent to this, and that a com- 
 mittee be appointed of Mr. President [William Short], Mr. 
 Stuart and Mr. Beckley to prepare a draught of the same and 
 report at next meeting." 
 
 The report of this committee, which was not offered until 
 July 5, was debated in committee of the whole by paragraphs, 
 when it was "Resolved, that the Charter party do pass." Five 
 days later the first charter, called the B^ra was voted to Samuel 
 Hardy, who had been a member less than a year. The follow- 
 ing day another, called the Fd/ifia, was granted to William 
 Stuart. Five weeks later Mr. Cabell was made the recipient 
 of the third charter, "the meeting hereby established to be 
 called the MXra." Confidence in Mr. Stuart was of recent 
 growth, for he had been a member of the Society just four 
 months. And Mr. Cabell was even more quickly taken into 
 confidence, for his membership had continued but two months 
 when the charter was voted him. 
 
 All this was preliminary to the crucial act of the Society's 
 existence, the granting of charters to Harvard and Yale. It 
 was on July 31, 1779, that Elisha Parmele was elected and in- 
 itiated. He was the only man not of Virginia to receive this 
 honor at the hands of our Phi Beta Kappa Fathers. One of 
 the first things he heard after entering the Society was the 
 discussion that led to the granting of a charter to Mr. Cabell. 
 Being a native of Massachusetts and expecting soon to return, 
 we can readily conceive how the idea would be suggested of 
 
18 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 securing Charters for the institutions in which he had pre- 
 viously studied in New England. It was on December 4, 1779^ 
 the day on which the Society was completing its third year, 
 that he asked for and was granted a "Charter party to institute 
 a branch of this Society in Cambridge,- in Massachusetts," "to 
 be called the E^Uov," The next evening, which happened to 
 be a Sunday, some amendments to the Charter were proposed 
 by the President "to introduce it properly and give it an ex- 
 tensive footing in the State of Massachusetts Bay." The min- 
 utes of the meeting held four days later read in part as follows : 
 
 "Whereas, This Society is desirous that the $ B K should 
 be extended to each of the United States. 
 
 "Resolved, That a second charter be granted to our brother, 
 Mr. Elisha Parmele, for establishing a meeting of the same in 
 the College of New Haven, in Connecticut, to be of the same 
 Rank, to have the same Power, and to enjoy the same Privileges 
 with that which he is empowered to fix in the University of 
 Cambridge. To be called the Z/jra." 
 
 Two additional Charters were granted shortly after. It 
 seems, however, that none were actually used as authority for 
 an organization except those given Mr. Parmele. If any of the 
 Virginia branches were instituted they must soon have per- 
 ished. In the charters given Mr. Parmele lay the hope of the 
 Society. As a result of our study of this period of developing 
 ideas as to the Society's future I would have you gather that in 
 a little over a year from the time when ideas of expansion were 
 first entertained seven charters were granted, and the way was 
 opened for the Society to become a national institution. Some 
 have thought that the recent practice of granting as high as ten 
 charters during a triennium a rather bold innovation for so 
 conservative an organization. That is a slight matter compared 
 with the boldness of our Fathers who in one short year ven- 
 tured to launch seven frail barks on the untried sea of Society 
 expansion. Conservatism! They did not know the word! 
 Their faith in the future was unbounded. And who can say 
 
ALPHA OP MISSOUEI 19 
 
 that faith was not justified? Listen to a few sentences from 
 that Charter then prepared with such care :* 
 
 "Whereas, It is repugnant to the liberal principles of So- 
 cieties that they should be confined to any place, Men or de- 
 scription of Men, and as the same should be extended to the 
 wise and virtuous of every degree and of every country; — we, 
 the members, and brothers of the 4> B K an institution founded 
 on literary principles, being willing and desirous to propagate 
 the same, have, at the instance of our good Brother, Elisha 
 Parmele, of the University of Cambridge, in the State of Mas- 
 sachusetts Bay, and from the confidence we repose in the In- 
 tegrity, Discretion and Good Conduct of our said Brother, 
 unanimously agreed to give and delegate, and we do therefore 
 by these, our present letters of Charter Party, give and delegate 
 by unanimous consent to you, the said Elisha Parmele, the 
 following Rights, Privileges, Authority and power. That is 
 to say 
 
 "ist. That at the University of Cambridge you establish a 
 Fraternity of $ B K to consist of not less than three persons of 
 Honor, Probity and good demeanor, which shall be denominat- 
 ed the Akipa of Massachusetts Bay." 
 
 Then follow provisions respecting the Foundation Meet- 
 ing, the choosing of officers, the use of the Form of Initiation, 
 the observance of the Laws, which were transmitted with the 
 charter; the securing of a medal by each member, the use of 
 the "token of Salutation," and the obligation to maintain regu- 
 lar correspondence with the mother Alpha for which corres- 
 pondence a secret code is provided. One paragraph is so im- 
 portant that I quote it entire : 
 
 "6thly. That you by this charter be invested with the priv- 
 ileges of the Meeting AXipa of Virginia in granting charters 
 for the establishment of other Meetings anywhere within the 
 
 * From the original "Cliarter Party" of the Harvard Society now

20 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 State of Massachusetts Bay, which Meetings are to stand in 
 the same relation to you that the Junior branches of the Meet- 
 ing Ak<pa stand in to the Meeting Altpa here." 
 
 The charter closes as follows : 
 
 "i3thly. That we do hereby ratify and confirm this Char- 
 ter and all the Rights, Privileges, Authority and Power incident 
 to the same upon you, the said Elisha Parmele ; the members of 
 the Alpha of Massachusetts Bay and their Successors forever, 
 and confidently relying on the prudence and discretion of you, 
 our Brother, secure the same with our Reputations and For- 
 tunes. Witness our hands and the seal of the Society this the 
 fourth day of December, in the year of our Lord One Thousand 
 Seven Hundred and Seventy-nine." 
 
 The following eighteen signatures appear on the Charter, 
 being, I presume, those of all the active members at the time : 
 Wm. Short, Jun., Pres. Thomas Hall. 
 
 Archibald Stuart, V.-Pres. Samuel Hardy. 
 William Cabell, Treas. John Brown. 
 
 John James Beckley, Secy. Thomas William Ballendine. 
 Theoderick Fitzhugh. Spencer Roane. 
 
 John Morrison. William Stith. 
 
 John Allen. Hartwell Cocke. 
 
 John Nivison. Thomas Littleton Savage. 
 
 William Stuart. John Page. 
 
 With two such "charter parties," Elisha Parmele, the only 
 member of the original society not a resident of Virginia, re- 
 turned to New England. At Yale, where he had spent two 
 years as an undergraduate, he founded the Alpha of Connecti- 
 cut, November 13, 1780. At Harvard, where he received his 
 bachelor's degree in 1778, he established the Alpha of Massa- 
 chusetts, September 5, 1781. 
 
 Through the consent of the Alpha of Massachusetts and 
 the Alpha of Connecticut, the Alpha of New Hampshire was 
 founded at Dartmouth College by Aaron Kinsman, a graduate 
 of Dartmouth of the class of 1787, on August 20, 1787. 
 
ALPHA OP MISSOURI 21 
 
 These three chapters rcnained the only representatives of 
 Phi Beta Kappa from 1787 to 1817. 
 
 "When the Morgan craze against Free Masonry filled New 
 England, the Harvard chapter yielded to the influence of John 
 Quincy Adams, Judge Story and others and abandoned the 
 oath of secrecy. Edward Everett was sent to a meeting of the 
 Yale chapter to induce them to take similar action. It is re- 
 corded that He touchingly set forth that the students at Har- 
 vard had such conscientious scruples as to keep them from tak- 
 ing the oath of secrecy and the society life was thus endan- 
 gered. There was stout opposition but the motion prevailed 
 and the missionary returned to gladden the tender consciences 
 of the Harvard boys. Dartmouth also joined the movement 
 and the three chapters laid no emphasis on secrecy even if 
 they did not give it up altogether."* 
 
 "This agitation together with other causes, resulted in an 
 entire change in the character of Phi Beta Kappa. From a 
 senior literary society it gradually became an organization of 
 graduates. This change was hastened by the advent of the 
 Greek Letter Fraternities, which, strangely enough, came into 
 existence soon after the anti-secret agitation. By admitting 
 underclassmen, they gained a strength with which Phi Beta 
 Kappa could not cope. And as much to save herself as for any 
 other reason, she began choosing the highest grade men from 
 each class irrespective of their fraternity or non-fraternity 
 affiliations. Hence it has come about that in most of the chap- 
 ters meetings are confined to those for the election of members, 
 and to the annual reunion at commencement."" 
 
 During what is known as the "Alpha Period," which ex- 
 tended for over one, hundred years, each Alpha had the priv- 
 ilege of establishing other Chapters within its own State, 
 while the consent of all the Alphas was necessary to extend

 the society to another State. This law was based on the 
 charter of the Alpha of Massachusetts Bay, which gave "the 
 privileges of the meeting Alpha in Virginia in granting char- 
 ters for the establishment of other meetings anywhere within 
 the State of Massachusetts Bay, which meetings are to stand 
 in the same relation to you that the junior branches of this 
 society stand in to the meeting Alpha here." 
 
 In 1817 an Alpha charter was granted Union, which es- 
 tablished Chapters at the University of City of New York (Beta, 
 1858), College of the City of New York (Gamma, 1867), 
 Columbia (Delta, 1869, Hamilton (Epsilon, 1870), Hobart, 
 (Zeta, 1871), Colgate (Eta, 1878), Cornell (Theta, 1882). 
 
 The Alpha of Connecticut extended the society to Trin- 
 ity (Beta, 1845) and Wesleyan (Gamma, 1845). The Al- 
 pha of Massachusetts established branches at Amherst (Beta, 
 1853) and WilHams (Gamma, 1867). Alpha charters were 
 granted B'owdoin in 1825, Brown in 1830, and Rutgers in 
 1869. The Alpha of Vermont, at University of Vermont, 
 chartered in 1848, granted a charter to Middlebury (Beta, 
 1868). The Alpha of Ohio was established at Adelbert, 1848, 
 and chartered the Chapters at Kenyon (Beta, 1858) and Mar- 
 ietta (Gamma, i860). 
 
 With the establishment of chapters in so many institu- 
 tions and States, the unity of the Fraternity was largely lost. 
 And until the year 1881 no serious effort was made to unite the 
 widely separate branches. 
 
 At the annual meeting of the Alpha of Massachusetts in 
 1880 a committee of five members, of which Rev. Edward Ev- 
 erett Hale was chairman, was appointed to arrange for a con- 
 vention of all the chapters of the Fraternity to be held in Cam- 
 bridge the day after commencement in 1881. This was to be 
 in commemoration of the centennial of the Harvard Chapter. 
 The Committee issued invitations to the different chapters, re- 
 questing them to send five delegates each to the convention. 
 
 The convention assembled June 30, 1881. Twenty-nine 
 delegates were present, representing six Alphas and six other 
 
ALPHA OF MISSOUEI 23 
 
 chapters. It was there Resolved that a delegate be sent by each 
 chapter to a convention to be held in the Council-room of the 
 University of the City of New York on the i8th day of Oc- 
 tober of that year, such committee when thus assembled to con- 
 stitute the National Council of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. 
 It was also resolved that a committee of ten be appointed to 
 draw up a project of a constitution for the said National Coun- 
 cil, and to prepare such other material for deliberation as 
 should suggest itself to the Committee. 
 
 The committee met as directed in October. The draft 
 of the proposed constitution was offered by the Committee, and 
 after much discussion and many amendments was adopted as 
 a whole. 
 
 The first meeting of the National council thus established 
 was held at Saratoga, September 5, 1883. The constitution 
 was ratified by Bowdoin, Harvard, Dartmouth, Union, Uni- 
 versity of Vermont, Trinity, Amherst, Wesleyan, Williams, 
 College of the City of New York, Columbia, Hamilton, Ho- 
 bart, Middlebury, University of the City of New York, and 
 Kenyon. 
 
 At the second council, September i, 1886, the constitution 
 was ratified by Yale and Cornell, and charters were granted 
 Rochester, Dickinson, and Lehigh. 
 
 At the third council, September 4, 1889, the constitution 
 was ratified by Rutgers, and charters were granted to La- 
 fayette, De Pauw, Kansas, and Northwestern. 
 
 At the fourth council, September 7, 1892, charters were 
 granted Tufts, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania. 
 
 At the fifth council, September 11, 1895, the constitution 
 was ratified by Brown, Western Reserve, Marietta, and Wil- 
 liam and Mary. Charters were granted Swarthmore, Iowa, 
 Nebraska, Colby, Syracuse, and Johns Hopkins. 
 
 At the sixth council, September 7, 1898, charters were 
 granted Boston, California, Chicago, Cincinnati, Haverford, 
 Princeton, St. Lawrence, Vassar, Wabash, and Wisconsin.

 THE ALPHA OF MISSOURI. 
 
 In November 1899, Prof. Raymond Weeks began cor- 
 respondence with the General Secretary of the United Chap- 
 ters of Phi Beta Kappa, looking towards the establishment of 
 a chapter of that fraternity at the University of Missouri. 
 
 It was found that there was a considerable number of men 
 connected with the University who were already members of 
 various chapters. A meeting of these men was held at the 
 house of Prof. Weeks in May, 1900, to concert upon a plan of 
 action. 
 
 After due correspondence, an application for a charter 
 was approved by the following chapters: William and Mary, 
 Harvard, Dartmouth, Western Reserve, Iowa conditionally and 
 Nebraska. 
 
 The application with the approval of these chapters, was 
 sent to the United Chapters, February 18, 1901. The names 
 signed to the application were Gardiner Lathrop, Raymond 
 Weeks, John Pickard, James Thayer Gerould, Ida Brecken- 
 ridge Ellwood, Henry Marvin Belden, George Lefevre, Charles 
 Wilson Greene, Charles Berry Newcomer, Frank Thilly, Philip 
 Sanford Goulding, Brayton H. Ransom. 
 
 This application was acted upon favorably by the Senate 
 of the United Chapters at Saratoga on March 2, 1901, and the 
 charter was granted by the National Council at their session 
 at Saratoga on Sept. 12, 1901. 
 
 The first meeting of the new chapter, the Alpha of Mis- 
 souri, was held at the house of Prof. Weeks on Founders' Day, 
 December 5, 1901. The following members were present: 
 Raymond Weeks, H. M. Belden, W. C. Curtis, George Lefevre, 
 C. W. Greene, Frank Thilly. 
 
 The charter was opened in the presence of these members. 
 The chapter was then declared established. A committee of

 hereinafter provided. 
 
 Amendment June 2, 1903 
 All persons elected to membership in this 
 society shall qualify by signifying their accept- 
 ance and by paying their initiation fee within one 
 year from the date of their election, or otherwise 
 they shall be disqualified for membership except 
 on re-election. 
 
 Article 13. Graduate members shall be such 
 persons as have received an election to Phi Beta 
 Kappa, either here or elsewhere, and are con- 
 nected with this University as teachers, officials 
 or graduate students, or are residents of Colum- 
 bia. 
 
 Article 14. Organization members shall be 
 such graduates, or holders of honorary degrees 
 of this University as shall have received an elec- 
 tion to this chapter on or before Founders' Day, 
 1902. 
 
 Provided that after Founders' Day, 1902, no 
 person shall be chosen a member of this chapter 
 save as hereinafter provided. 
 
 Article 15. Regular members shall be 
 elected as follows from the Senior class: 
 
 On or before Founders' Day in December, 
 the Secretary shall present to the chapter as- 
 sembled the names of the five seniors, who, ac- 
 
44 PHI BETA KAPPA 
 
 cording to the records of the Registrar of the 
 University are the first five students by rank in 
 the Senior class. These students shall be wel- 
 comed into the Society on Founders' Day and 
 shall be known as "the first five." 
 
 At some convenient time during the week 
 preceding Commencement, the Secretary shall 
 present to the Chapter assembled enough other 
 names from the Senior class, taken in order ac- 
 cording to the records of the Registrar, to make 
 the total, together with those already chosen, 
 one-sixth of the Senior class. The Chapter shall 
 elect from these names in order, a number, which, 
 taken with those already elected, shall constitute

 class, a fraction to count as a unit. The election 
 in all cases shall be by ballot. No one shall be 
 elected who has not been a student of the Uni-

 any candidate either of the first five or of those 
 subsequently presented, who during his college 
 career has' been guilty of dishonorable conduct. 
 
 In addition to the above regular members, 
 the Chapter may within its discretion, elect out 
 of each senior class, one or two members at large. 
 The object of this provision is to prevent the 
 chapter from losing the co-operation of a student 
 of unusual powers, who by reason of sickness or 
 for some other good and sufficient reason, has 
 failed of election as above provided in this arti- 
 cle.

46 
 
 PHI BETA KAPPA

 by a three-fourths vote.
