Sigma Tau The Sigma Tau Scholarship Medal is awarded each year to the student in the School of Mines or the College of Engineering who receives the highest scholastic average during his sophomore year. Last year the winner of the medal was Eldred Alvin Rice. Rice is from Longview, Washington. He is majoring in chemical engineering, winning the award with an average of 5.528. Two years ago Robert McRae, enrolled in the School of Mines, won the award. Sigma Tau is a national engineering honorary and does much on the Idaho campus to promote scholarship among the engineering students. The strict standard of scientific excellence required for membership in Sigma Tau assures a high level of achievement for the organization and for each individual member.
Alpha Zeta To the student in the College of Agriculture who, during his freshman year, attains the highest scholastic record, is extended the Alpha Zeta Award. Last year Charles Worth Hodgson received the honor with a grade average of 5.543. Hodgson is from Cottonwood. While his scholarship average was not as high as many that have been made in the past, his general and versatile interest and ability in the affairs of the College of Agriculture make him one of the most outstanding freshman agriculture students ever to win this award. Alpha Zeta is a national honorary fraternity whose purpose is to promote scholarship among students majoring in agriculture. Leslie Lawton, who maintained an average of 5.594, received the award last year.
