Founded in 1906, the Cum Laude Society is an organization devoted  to the recognition of academic excellence while simultaneously striving to  encourage qualities of justice and honor. Episcopal’s chapter, founded in  1952, elects membership twice a year based on cumulative academic standing with recognition given to the degree of difficulty of the courses taken. No  more than 20 percent of a chapter’s senior class may be elected to  membership. The first group was installed in October 2007. Pictured (l to r) starting in the front are: Anna Stein, Michelle Kim, and Alexa Narzikul. Second row (l to r): Caroline Constable, Quinn Libson, Alexandra van Arkel, Emily Halpern, and Margaret McCarthy. Third row (l to r): Ben Jones, Hannah Sayen, Mark Nakahara, Alexander Lee, and Paul Vithayathil.
