SC H O L A R S H I P today is the keynote of chapter activity. It has been our
pleasure to design, during the past year, many distinctive styles of medsfcr
awarded for scholastic efficiency.
Bronze or silver plated plaques, bearing individual yearly engraving tablets, can bs
supplied in relation with the annual award with the scholarship medal. Special'|
patterns have been created for fraternities and sororities, featuring the use of dsj|
3" and 5" coat-of-arms.
For fraternities the awards are supplied with the ribbons as illustrated. For
ties, the use of a black sautoir ribbon is preferred.
Our designers are prepared to submit original designs for your chapter
awards. A special pamphlet of scholarship plaques will be sent upon request
