HEENGRARHES CHI EPSILON Honorary Civil Engineering Chi Epsilon, national honorary fraternity, was founded at the Uni» versity of Illinois. on May 20, 1922 for the purpose of providing an inn eentive for greater achievement in the civil engineering profession and of distinguishing undergraduates who have shown a high scholastic ability. At about this same time, a group of junior and senior civils at Armour felt that there was a need for such an organzation here. They saw that because of the limited scope of the national honorary engineering fra- ternity, the accomplishments of only a few could be recognized. Departv mental honorarics were in existence at Armour for the recognition of up- per classmen chemicals and electri~ cals, and a professional organization was stimulating undergraduate in- terest in architecture. Upon investigation the local group discovered that Chi Epsilon had been founded and since this organization appeared to answer the need, .a pcti~ tion for the establishment of a chap- ter here was sent to the Illinois chap» ter. The petition was granted and the Armour chapter installed on March 9, 1923, less than a year after the founding of the national organ- ization. Professor Phillips, at that time head of the department of civil engineering, was an honorary charter member and it was partly through his efforts that the Armour chapter was established. Election to membership in Chi Ep- silon is based on the four require- ments of a successful engineer: scho- larship, character, pr ‘ticability, and sociability. A candidate for member- ship must have an average grade in scholarship in the upper one-third and must be a. junior or senior in the de- partment of civil engineering. More emphasis is laid on the other ro— quisites than on scholarship in the election of members. Present honorary and faculty members of the Armour chapter are Professors Herbert Ensz, E. C. Graf- ton, H. T. Heald, P. C. Huntly, J. C. Penn, R. L. Stevens, and M. 16. Wells. The active membership includes G. T. Korink president; J. E. Schreinor, Vice president; E. G. Hoffman, sce— retary; G. A. Nelson, treasurer; H. W. A. Davidson, “Transit" editor; and N. E. Colburn, R. A. Fleissner, A. C. Ketler, N. H. Kuehn, B. W. Laestadius, Leonard Marcus, ll. J. Pfium, Otto Schmidt, C. L. Shermei'. E, H. Smith, and K. 0. Stocking. The two pledges are Barclay Jones and J. M. O’Connor. The pledge ribbon is purple and white.
