Society of Scholars inducts new

The Society of Scholars was created on the
recommendation of then President Milton S.
Eisenhower and approved by the board of trustees on May 1,
1967. The society — the first of its kind in
the nation — inducts former postdoctoral fellows,
postdoctoral degree recipients and junior or visiting

social or engineering sciences or in the
humanities, and for whom at least five years have elapsed
since their last Johns Hopkins affiliation.
