Publisher's Synopsis

Beginning at the college of William and Mary in the year of American Independence, Phi Beta Kappa, the student debating society, was formed, designed not to be secret and select, as previous societies had been, but "more serious-minded". At the request of the Society, Richard Current has written a full-scale history of Phi Beta Kappa and its influence on American academic life.
