The Iota Sigma Society.—In the spring of 1927 there was organized a
local honor medical society, Iota Sigma, whose membership is open to medical
students who have completed the first term of the third year with a total of not
less than 40 honor points. Prospective candidates must further qualify with regard
to congeniality, personality, interest in research, practicability and future professional
promise. The primary aims of this society are to raise the standard of
scholarship, to stimulate sympathetic interest in research, and in every possible
way to aid the Medical School in the maintenance of its high ideal of medical
training and service. Since publication of the last catalogue the following have
been elected to membership: from the class of 1934, John Newton Bowden,
Charles Lorraine Cabell, Robert Nelson Cooley, William Clegg Eversole, and
Charles Collins Orr, Jr.; and from the class of 1935, William Bennett Bean,
Paul Burns Haggland, Byrd Stuart Leavell, James Benjamin Shuler and Roland
Harris Vaughan.
