ELTA
THETA PHI was founded at Baldwin University in 1900.
It now has fifty-five active senates and twenty-one
alumni senates. The aim of the fraternity is to unite
students interested in the legal profession and
encourage high scholarship and true fellowship.
Each year the
national organization awards scholarship keys to the
members ranking in the highest fifteen per cent of the
graduating class.
At the beginning of
the second semester a house was established at 335
North Twenty-eighth street, and plans have been made
by the chapter for the establishing of a larger house
next year.
Speeches are given by
eminent jurists on various phases of the law at the
weekly meetings. A moot court has been established by
which cases are tried from which knowledge of the
practical application of the law is gained. The
fraternity keeps in touch with its alumni through the
Paper Book, its official publication, issued quarterly
by the national senate. Among the fraternity's
honorary members are A. J. Morressey, Chas. B. Letton,
and O. S. Spillman.
