Miss Elsie Hanky of Minneapolis who
claims New Ulm as the home of her ma
tivity was. signally honored last Tuesday
when she was elected as member of the
Phi Beta Kappa Society. Elections to
this honory society, are limited to the
college Of science, literature and the arts.
They are made on the basis of scholar
ship, character, personality and general
participation in student activities. When
it is considered that only % of the large
class Of nearly 800 seniors were elected to
the Phi Beta Kappa, it becomes quite ap-
parent that Miss Elsie Hanky was sig
nally honored.
