Induction
The Induction Ceremony for the Aquinas Honor Society is held at the end of April each year as part of the UST Honors Convocation. The Convocation is the highest of Honors invitations at the University, and inducts members into the Delta Epsilon Sigma and Alpha Sigma Lambda national honor societies as well as the Aquinas Honor Society.
Generally consisting of the largest number of inductees for the ceremony, the presentations are made via the Assistant Dean of Arts and Sciences calling the name of the candidate. The candidate will then rise and make their way to the front of the room to be awarded with their key (similar to that of the Phi Beta Kappa key) from the Dean of their respective school. A reception generally follows the Convocation.
After receiving the key, the recipient is a member of the honor society and is entitled to wear the key with his or her academic regalia. No specified means for displaying the key are given, therefore keys are often displayed by various means (chains, pins, or attachments) on the academic robes of graduating students.

Famous quotes containing the word induction:
“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
“They relieve and recommend each other, and the sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanities. She punishes abstractionists, and will only forgive an induction which is rare and casual.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
