MBA RECOGNIZES NEW INDUCTEES TO CUM LAUDE SOCIETY

On Monday, MBA recognized its newest inductees into the Cum Laude Society during an assembly program. The Cum Laude Society was founded in 1906 by Dr. Abram W. Harris, Director of the Tome School in Port Deposit, Maryland. He envisioned a society modeled on the collegiate honorary society Phi Beta Kappa, designed to recognize scholarly achievement in secondary schools. The Montgomery Bell Academy chapter was chartered in 1981.

Ms. Sarah Ellery, secretary of MBA’s chapter, opened the program with remarks on the Latin root of the word education and discussed its relevance to each MBA student. Following her remarks, 18 new members were inducted, joining the 10 students previously recognized.

Membership in Cum Laude is limited to no more than 20% of the senior class. Students must have completed at least three Honors-level or Advanced Placement courses at MBA to be eligible. Faculty members are inducted based on their election to Phi Beta Kappa or Tau Beta Pi (the national engineering honorary), prior membership in Cum Laude as students or faculty at other institutions, or significant scholarly achievement. At the chapter’s discretion, honorary members may also be inducted.
