HI DELTA KAPPA is the national fraternity of men in education. It was formed in 1910 by the consolidation of educational organizations that had been formed in Columbia University and in the Universities of Indiana and Missouri. The purpose of Phi Delta Kappa is to foster research, to prepare for leadership, and to render service in public education. Active membership is limited to students in education of senior college or graduate standing, who have obtained high academic recognition and who give promise of professional leadership. Members of the faculty are eligible to associate membership and to participation in the activities of the organization.

     A recent policy of the chapter, which will influence in a great degree its future development and activities, is a plan of selecting the active members earlier in their student career, with a view to having them longer under the influence of the organization before they begin their field work. The former policy of keeping in close touch with all members in the field will be continued and will be emphasized in an even greater degree than formerly, in order to render the greatest possible service to public education.

I chapter of Phi Sigma, national honorary biological society, was established at the University of Nebraska in 1924, taking the place of the Zoology Club. The purpose of the society is to encourage the study of the biological sciences, and to encourage a thorough investigation into these sciences. At the bi-monthly meetings the various members, including both faculty and students, give papers upon their research, or upon general topics of interest. It is through these papers that the wide scope of the field is realized, and the great opening that is ahead for anyone to enter.

     Membership in Phi Sigma is limited to those who are juniors or above, and they must have had one-fourth of their hours in biological sciences. Of course a high scholastic average is required, and nearly every member is a research worker. At present research in some biological science is required before membership will be granted.

     Phi Sigma makes membership in an honorary scientific society possible for the undergraduate. It is interesting to note that a great majority of the members are selected each year for membership in Sigma Xi.
