Cap and Gown

"Cap and Gown honors those women who honor the University. Cap and Gown is the Senior Women’s honorary society which gives recognition to those women students in the University of Buffalo who during their college course, have been most influential in promoting the highest ideals of college life, and unites these women in an organization which will strive for a still further realization of these ideals in the University of Buffalo. Election to the society is based upon traits of personality, undergraduate activities, and scholarship, and is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a University of Buffalo woman student."
