Thomas Bohl, senior biochemistry and molecular biology major at The College of Wooster, has been inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest and most prestigious liberal arts honor society.

A resident of Sardinia, Bohl is a graduate of Lynchburg-Clay High School.

Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa champions freedom of inquiry and expression, disciplinary rigor, the pursuit of wisdom, and the application of the fruits of scholarship and research in practical life.

Wooster is one of only 276 colleges and universities in the United States that meets the national standards for excellence necessary to form a Phi Beta Kappa chapter. Election is offered each year to a select group of juniors and seniors who meet the strictest standards, including excellence in a broad range and number of courses. The Wooster chapter was founded in 1926.

Former national president of Phi Beta Kappa, Niall W. Slater, graduated from The College of Wooster in 1976. Other notable inductees throughout history include Alexander Graham Bell, Pearl Buck, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Helen Wills Moody, Paul Robeson, George Santayana, William Henry Seward, Booker T. Washington, Daniel Webster, and Eli Whitney.

The College of Wooster is an independent liberal arts college, nationally recognized for an innovative curriculum that emphasizes mentored, independent research. Each Wooster senior works one-on-one with a faculty adviser to create an original research project, written work, performance or art exhibit. Founded in 1866, Wooster has an enrollment of approximately 1,800 students.[[In-content Ad]]
