It is for this reason that we point to scholarship first, for it is this record that indicates a proper set of values and goals. During the 1959-60 school year, the Knox chapter ranked first in scholarship of all eighty-seven na tional chapters within the fraternity. This followed a period in which the chapter had ranked consistently near the top, and its culmination in the reception of the 1,100 are listed in Who's Who), are certainly the Calvin Coolidge, Christy Mathewson, Norman Vincent Peale, Bob Mathias, and Norman Rockwell, to name a few.
