Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges was started in 1934 by Pettus Randall who was then an undergraduate student at the University of Alabama, preparing to enter law school. He had been an outstanding student in all aspects of academic and campus activities and a a result had been tapped into various campus honor societies. Although Randall valued these honors bestowed by his alma mater, he was unable to accept them because membership fees cost more than he could afford. He then created this honors program without dues or fees to recognize outstanding students for their accomplishments and scholastic contributions. In 1966 the first edition of Who's Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges was published. It continues to this day.
