Founded 1904
The Raven Society was founded
in April 1904, four years before Phi
Beta Kappa's coming to the
University. At that time the
University had perhaps a
superabundance of organizations
stressing such things as fellowship
and conviviality in Eli Banana,
Tilka, the late lamented Hot Feet,
dance societies, and a score or more
of social fraternities.
There was obviously need for a
University-wide society stressing
scholarship and intellectual
qualities, the essential interests of a
university. This the Raven Society
undertook to do, adding also
dedication to the University as an
objective.
