Morristown-Beard School Students Welcomed into Cum Laude Society

Eight Morristown-Beard School students were welcomed into The Cum Laude Society at a special induction dinner on campus on Tuesday, April 25th.

This year’s inductees are: Spencer Bridges ’17 of Summit, Pamela Burke ’17 of Westfield, Isabella Carr ’17 of Morristown, Lucas Fagan ’17 of Morristown, Theresa Green ’17 of Florham Park, Giovan Guanill ’17 of North Brunswick, Olivia Land ’17 of Summit, and Leah Seldin ’17 of Watchung.

The Cum Laude Society, modeled on Phi Beta Kappa, was founded in 1906 at the Tome School in Port Deposit, Maryland, to promote learning and scholarship in secondary schools. The Beard School received its Cum Laude Society charter in 1950, the Morristown School in 1958, and Morristown-Beard School in 1976.

Each chapter elects to membership those members of the senior and junior classes who have demonstrated academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, and good character.
