Biographical/Historical Note
The Keidaeans are an honorary society for seniors that formed at the University of Rochester in 1925. Members are chosen based on their academic merits and are inducted each spring in a "tap day" ceremony. Originally all male, the Keidaeans began accepting women in 1971. The group is still active today.

The photographs of the first "tapping" ceremony held on the new River Campus were donated in 1979 by Joe Morrissey, Class of 1932.
