Campus Honor Societies
Perform Triple Function
Lion's Paw, Senior Group, Constitutes Highes
. Recognition for Undergraduates
For the promotion of Penn State
spirit; for the maintenance of the
Penn State honor code; and for the
prciervation of Penn State traditions,
the campus honor societies exist ac
tively.
The Lion's ,Paw, founded in 1907,
k: exclusively a senior class society
and membership in it is considered by
the student body as the highest honor
of its kind to which an undergraduate
may aspire. Only those members of
the senior class, not exceeding fifteen,
who have achieved prominence in Col
lege affairs, and who have been held
in high regard by the student body,
arc ,eligible for membership in this
organization.
Upperciass Societies
Membership in Lion's Paw is not
merely .an honor bestowed for past
service but rather entails a new ob
ligation to work with a group, having
:or its sole purpose the furtherance
of the best interests of the College.
Members of Lion's Paw are not out
wardly conspicuous in their activities
toward advancing the ideals of the
College but accomplish their ends by
directing and assisting the efforts of
all organizations that are sincerely in
terested in the welfare of the College.
Skull and Bones and Parmi Nous
are two upperclass societies whose
memberships are largely composed of
prominent seniors and juniors. The
two societies choose athletes, sports
managers. and other students who
have excelled in various extra-cur
ricular activities. Both have distin
guishing. hats. The purpose of these
organizations is to promote good fel
lowship among all College men re-
gardless of class or fraternity affilia
tions, to back every worthy College en
terprise, to promote sensible College
spirit, and to correct any tendency to
ward a disregard for recognized Col
lege customs or traditions.
Blue Key, founder in 1923, is a so

ciety recruiting its members from the
junior class. Almost its .entire mess
ber.Thip is made up of assistant sports
managers. The remainder of its mem
bers are chosen from the ranks of
other junior activity men.
The primary function of Blue Key,
is welcoming and providing, entertain
ment for representativeS of other col
leges while they are the guests of
Penn State. , Other services of the so- ;
ciety are ushering at athletic contests;
and engaging generally in pursuits!
which reflect the good name of the,
College.
Sophomore Society
,Druids, founded in 1907, and Friars,
1912, are strictly sophomore class so
cieties. Their chief purpose is to
maintain College customs, especially
first year obligations. They also en
deavor to promote the welfare of the
College and to foster and promote
good sportsmanship at athletic con
tests.
Women students have two campus
societies, Archousai and Cwens. A
limited number of women prominent
is the senior class constitute the
membership of the former group and
sophomores who have been conspicu
ous in some activity compose the lat
ter.

vice at Penn State, Dutch Hermann'

SCHOLARSHIPS, S LOANS .
AID WORTHY STUDENTS
Applicatlims for 1932-33 Awards
Exceed Available Funds
Eight loan funds and over forty
scholarships of various kinds are
available to deserving students in the
College. In addition, there are three
scholarships awarded each year by
each State senator.
An effort is made to distribute all
these funds to those who are most
deserving. Each scholarship is list-
I ed in the College catalog with the
requisites for obtaining it.
Information concerning any of these
is usually obtained from the office of
the dean of men or the dean of wo
men. - .However, applications have
again this year exceeded the available
funds.
