Historical note

Phi Zeta was originated in 1925 with a group of senior veterinary students at Cornell University. The Society of Phi Zeta was organized in 1929. In 1931, the Executive Committee approved the petition of a group from Iowa State College (University), and the Gamma Chapter was established. The object of the Society is to recognize and promote scholarship and research in matters pertaining to the welfare and diseases of animals. Membership in the Society consists of two classifications, Active and Honorary.

Collection Description

The collection contains membership lists, membership files, correspondence, financial records; and promotional materials for guest speakers, special programs, and the organization in general.

Organization

The records are organized chronologically, with the exception of Box 3, which contains index cards, in alphabetical order, for each active or inactive member. The undated cards are arranged by last name, with those behind the cream cards labeled as “inactive members” and those behind the salmon cards labeled as “active members.”
