Synopsis
The History of Phi Beta Kappa is a comprehensive account of the origins, development, and significance of the prestigious academic honor society Phi Beta Kappa. Written by Oscar M. Voorhees, a distinguished scholar and member of the society, the book traces the evolution of Phi Beta Kappa from its founding in 1776 at the College of William and Mary to its emergence as a national organization with chapters at leading colleges and universities across the United States.The book explores the intellectual and cultural context in which Phi Beta Kappa emerged, including the rise of Enlightenment ideals and the establishment of the American republic. It discusses the early debates over the purpose and criteria for membership in the society, as well as its role in promoting liberal arts education and intellectual excellence.The History of Phi Beta Kappa also examines the society's response to changing social and political conditions, including its role in promoting democracy, civil rights, and academic freedom. It provides detailed accounts of the society's activities during key historical periods, such as the Civil War, World War I, and the Cold War.Throughout the book, Voorhees draws on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and meeting minutes, to provide a vivid and engaging narrative of Phi Beta Kappa's history. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of American higher education, intellectual life, and civic culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
