The Latin quotation near the top of the page appears above the fireplace in the Apollo Room of
the Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg, Virginia, where Phi Beta Kappa was founded on December 5, 1776.
It may be translated as:
"Mirth is the offspring of wisdom and the good life."
Members of the audience are cordially invited to greet and congratulate the new members of
Phi Beta Kappa at a reception in Harlan immediately following the ceremony.
