PHI BETA KAPPA CHOOSES SIX ADDITIONAL SENIORS

TOTAL FROM 1918 NOW 22

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Six more Seniors have been elected to the Harvard Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, with the approval of President Lowell. They are: Richard Merriman Baker, of Watertown; Walter Gustave Otto Christiansen, of Cambridge; Arthur Chew Gilligan, of Natick; Lawrence Elmer Green, of Omaha, Neb.; Edwin Francis Melvin, of Mattapan; Theodore King Selkirk, of Albany, N. Y. The names are given in alphabetical order and not in the order of election. This group of six completes the "Senior Twenty-Two" who are usually chosen in the fall. Last November, however, instead of the customary 22, only 16 Seniors were elected.

On March 28 a third group of not more than five men will be chosen. This mid-year election is the one in which the Society is allowed to base its choice more than usual on other outside activities which go to prove a man's intellectual ability and promise.

In June, on the day before Phi Beta Kappa Day, five more Seniors selected from those who won distinction and other honors at Commencement, may be elected.
