The Association of College Honor Societies, which serves as a general coordinating agency, maintains high standards for the recognition and promotion of academic excellence in higher education.  Kappa Mu Epsilon became a member of this Association in 1968 and is pleased to be counted among the sixty cooperating societies, representing many different areas of knowledge, that have joined so far.  Dr. J. A. G. Shirk of the Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg, who succeeded Dr. Wyant as the Second President of Kappa Mu Epsilon, aptly said, "History renders the ultimate verdict as to the value of any movement, and the growth and the influence of Kappa Mu Epsilon in a little over a decade give a portent of its greater contributions in the decades yet to come."

The quotation of Dr. Shirk and related material were obtained from his article, "The Early Years of Kappa Mu Epsilon," The Pentagon 1:2 (Spring 1942), pages 80-83.  Further information can be obtained from the National Officers as well as additional items published by The Pentagon.
