Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest and most prestigious academic honor society in the United States. This year, the Drake chapter is celebrating 100 years of promoting excellence in the liberal arts on campus and across Iowa. To explore this history, please stop by the display case outside Drake University Archives & Special Collections in Cowles Library through the end of September. As part of its centennial, Drake was selected to participate in the society’s national Visiting Scholars program, and looks forward to hosting Dr. Anna Brickhouse, University of Virginia, at the end of October.
