A chapter of the Alpha Omega Alpha, an honorary fraternity for the recognition of scholarship, has been instituted at the Harvard Medical School. The Society chooses its members only from medical schools, differing in this one respect from the Phi Beta Kappa. Chapters of the society are already in existence at Johns Hopkins, Pennsylvania, University of Chicago, and Leland Stanford.
The new chapter is known as Alpha Chapter of Massachusetts. It will hold its first annual dinner in June, when the meeting of the American Medical Association in Boston will afford an opportunity to invite many distinguished guests.
Twelve men have been elected into the society from the Senior-Class of the Medical school: W. W. Barker, Brown '02; W. B. Bartlett '02; D. H. Boyd, Washington and Jefferson '02; H. G. Calder, Brown '02; C. Frothingham, Jr., '02; R. M. Green '02; C. R. Metcalf '02; C. G. Mixter, M. I. T. '02; W. G. Mixter, M. I. T. '02; W. A. Sawyer '02; F. Van Nuys, Virginia '99.
Officers for the year have been chosen as follows: president, C. Frothingham, Jr.; vice-president, C. R. Metcalf; secretary, W. J. Mixter; treasurer, W. A. Sawyer. Dr. W. B. Cannon and Dr. F. B. Mallory have been elected honorary members from the Medical School Faculty.
