This is a selection from a radio talk by Wofford's fourth president, Dr. Henry Nelson Snyder, in 1948. Snyder was one of the five members of Phi Beta Kappa who received the college's Phi Beta Kappa charter in 1941. Several years after he retired, in 1948 and 1949, he presented a series of weekly radio interviews on Spartanburg's WSPA-AM, hosted by Jane Dalton, the radio station's woman's editor. In this talk, from April 23, 1948, he talks about Wofford's recent celebration of Phi Beta Kappa day. Since we're celebrating our annual observance of Phi Beta Kappa day at Wofford today, I thought this would be appropriate to share. This segment runs just under 5 minutes.
