方阵的历史 & 大学表彰日

1929年之前, 学生 who participated actively in campus affairs and also attained high scholastic standing received no special recognition at Clarkson. That year Phalanx was organized to honor such individuals. 威廉·米. Farrisee, then associate professor of civil engineering and later dean of 学生, assisted several members of the Class of 1929 in designating 12 charter members.

Now established as Clarkson's highest honorary society, Phalanx has stimulated campus activities and provided recognition of academic achievement, while promoting the qualities of leadership. Just as Phalanx referred to the formation of ranks in ancient Greece, the society's constitution explains "so does Phalanx mean the formation of those who rank high in the affairs of Clarkson."

The purpose of Phalanx has remained the same throughout its many years: to recognize the achievements and promote the interests of 学生, 教师, 工作人员 and other community members in extracurricular activities, 奖学金, 以及esball国际平台客户端的体育运动. Full consideration is given to a candidate's leadership qualities, 包括人格, 领导能力, 以及跟进的能力.

It has been a recent tradition to hold an annual reception honoring members of Phalanx - Faculty, 校友, Active and Newly Tapped - in the spring.
