What about VULCAN?The secret senior honor society in the College of Engineering is called VULCAN, and celebrated their 100th anniversary this weekend. I have obtained a "booklet prepared in conjunction with the Vulcans 100th Anniversary Celebration, held on April 3, 2004 at the Michigan Union ballroom." Here is their statement of purpose:
"VULCAN is a society consisting of juniors, seniors, and graduate students who have shown leadership and service to the College of Engineering and the University of Michigan. The purpose of the society is five-fold:
1. To promote comradeship among its members based on their mutual interests.
2. To develop cooperation between student organizations by promoting this friendship among their leaders.
3. To bestow private recognition upon those who are deserving by electing them to membership.
4. To provide service to the College of Engineering in situations where VULCANS has unique capabilities.
5. To maintain the decades of tradition on which our organization was founded."
Included in the booklet is a listing of members. Unlike Michigamua, the organization seems to have kept less complete membership records. Here's the caveat they print before the list, the "most extensive effort of this sort ever attempted.": "Every attempt has been made to make this list as accurate as possible. However, it is almost certain that mistakes have been made . ... Any questions or corrections may be reported to v-alumni at umich.edu, or to Vulcan Alumni Association secretary, Tom Hemr.
Without further ado, ladies and gentleman I present to you VULCAN.
