2013 May 16

Timothy Denney of Jacksonville Ill. was one of 13 graduating seniors at Illinois College inducted into the Epsilon chapter of Phi Beta Kappa Society during a ceremony held May 9, 2013.

Phi Beta Kappa at Illinois College is a legacy bequeathed to Illinois College in 1931 by Charles Rammelkamp, then president of the College. His effort to gain recognition for the special qualities of an Illinois College education was rewarded when the first installation of the Illinois College Epsilon chapter of Phi Beta Kappa took place on April 6, 1932. Illinois College is one of only 11 institutions in the state to offer membership to this distinguished society.

Following the induction ceremony, the Epsilon Chapter hosted a dinner with remarks given by Phi Beta Kappa graduate Julie Bodam Macartney '98.
