12 THE HONOR ROLL

To the Class of 1911 again goes the distinction of having the greatest number of its members included in the Honor Roll com­ posed of alumni who have paid dues for the last three years. Measured in terms of percentage 1875 and 1879 lead, each having 50% of its members in the Roll. The total number of names is 1186 as compared with 1110 last year. Second honors goes to 1910 with 48 (same as last year) with 1917 in third place with 46. These three classes led in 1936-37. 1916 moved up to fourth place, forcing 1914 to be content this year with fifth position and displacing 1909 by the narrow margin of one. 1885 follows 1875 and 1879 with a percentage of 42.8. Next is 1894 with 41.6 and 1896 with 40.6%. Next year the members of the class of 1936 are to be reckoned with. They will become eligible for the Honor Roll for the first time and if their present pace is maintained they are sure to be among the leaders. 1933 and 1935 too have a chance to be in the select list. Following is the Honor Roll for 1937-38:
