c-:> ...<...._ Epsilon Delta is a group with many years of proud

tradition behind it. As far as we know, it is the oldest pre-medical honor fraternity in existence today.

In 1922, seven determined Marshall students con­ceived the idea of an organization to promote better relationships among pre-medical students, to strengthen the students' interest in the various medi­cal fields and to foster high scholarship in pre-medi­cal work.

The organization became inactive in 1939 and lay dormant until last year. At that time, a group of students, many of whom are pictured here, met and decided to reorganize the fraternity, giving it a new

Today, as can readily be seen, Epsi lon Delta is a far cry from the small, struggling group of 1922. N ow it is a large, strong, smoothly-run organization and we in Epsilon Delta are quite justifiably proud of it.

The fraternity's activities feature lectures, field­~ trips, discussion- and study-groups, all of which serve

to bring about its aims as defined above. In order to become eligible for membership in

Epsilon Delta, the applicant must be a student of at least sophomore standing and he must have an over­all scholastic of 2.8 under the current system.

Kappa Omicron Phi is an organization existing for this purpose. As we all realize, homemaking is more than cooking and cleaning; it is a spirit.

Through college-trained homemakers we have not only good cooks but young women with higher intellectual and cultural attainments."

A big "welcome freshmen girls" and a word of encouragement is extended each year by Lambda Delta, honorary organization for freshmen women on the Marshall Campus.

Lambda Delta was founded on the Marshall Campus May, 1948, through the efforrs of a small group of girls, with the aid of Dean Buskirk, who believed such an organization was necessary for recognition of freshmen girls who had received a B plus average.

The sorority engages in various projects intended to encourage college. attendance by high school seniors. This involves writing personal letters to these seniors each spring. Lambda Delta girls have acted as fresh­men guides for the past two years. In this activity and through all others, they try to encourage high scholas­tic achievements on the part of freshmen girls.
