DeVane Medalists

1966-Presen​​t​

Each year at its annual spring banquet, the Alpha of Connecticut confers the DeVane Medal on members of the faculty who have distinguished themselves as teachers of undergraduates in Yale College and as scholars in their fields. Acting on behalf of the graduate membership, the Graduate Officers, Advisers, and members of the Executive Committee select a retired member of the faculty for this honor; seniors in Yale College who have been elected into the chapter after four, five, or six terms of enrollment select a member of the active faculty who has been teaching at Yale for at least five years.

William Clyde DeVane, to whose memory the medal is dedicated, was the Dean of Yale College, a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Senate, and national President of the United Chapters.
