A chapter of the honorary schol-
astic society Phi Beta Kappa will
soon be established on the campus
of the University of Delaware.
According to DR.. Herbert E. New
man, chairman of a faculty commit
tee which has been seeking to OBJ
tain a charter for university men,
bers, the University of Delaware
group has been empowered to or
ganize as a chapter and make all
necessary arrangements for install
lation ceremonies.
Over fifty applications for new
charters were made to the national
organization during the 1925 tri-
ennium and of these, only the Uni
verSity of Delaware and the Uni
versity of Connecticut were ap-

William Hastings, Professor Emer-
titus of English at Brown Univers-.

Chapters, will participate in the
ceremonies.
Five classes of membership are
found in Phi Beta Kappa
chapters. Members in course are
and graduate stu

serves as host for the chapter. Hon

from the faculty and staff of the
host institution. Associate mem
bers are faculty and staff at the uni
versity who have been elected to
membership at other schools. Alum
nj members are those elected to
membership who graduated from
the university prior to the time the
chapter was established, Charter
members are those who assist in
establishing the new chapter.
Members of the Delaware facul-
ty who already hold membership in
Phi Beta Kappa voted in the au-
tumn of 1852 TO seek a charter
which would make the university
the host institution for a new chap
ter. A formal report supporting
application for charter was pre-
pared early in 1853 and submitted
in September. In February, 1854,
Dean Lawrence Chamberlain of
Columbia College visited the Uni
versity of Delaware campus and
conducted a two-day investigation
on behalf of the Phi Beta Kappa
