EUGENE–In recognition of their leadership and commitment to the University of Oregon, the Society of Friars inducted 16 UO students and three faculty members this spring.

One of the university’s oldest honorary groups, the Society of Friars was established in 1910 and prospered until the late 1960s, when student interest in such groups waned. Since experiencing a rebirth in 1980, current members have carried on the traditions of their founders.

Three faculty members selected for membership this year are Diane Baxter, visiting professor of anthropology; Jack Bennett, director of freshman interest groups in the Office of Academic Advising and Student Services; and Greta Pressman, campus relations manager for Facilities Services.
